Nightwatcher Chapter 163: The abandoned princess

　　 Xu Qi'an took out the prepared secret letter and put it on the table.

　　 Susu can’t wait to unfold, and after reading it several times, the tears in her eyes seem to grow stronger, but they can’t come down.

　　 The light of tears is a strong emotional color, but it is not real.

　　How can ghost cry? Yes, she can't even cry for her family.

　　 "I, how could my father get so many enemies? This, this is unreasonable." Su Su said sadly.

　　 "The case of the Su family is extraordinary." Li Miaozhen patted the paper man's maid on the shoulder and said with relief:

　　 "We came to the capital to investigate your case is one of the purposes. Don't worry, I will check that case for you."

　　 Xu Qi'an arched his hands, "Then there will be female heroes Lao Feiyan, waiting for good news."

　　 Li Miaozhen immediately turned his head, with an angry face, glared at him.

　　 Of course she just talked casually, to encourage Su Su, how can she rely on her for this kind of thing. Xu Qi'an must be the leader.

　　 This person just doesn't see her showing up.

　　"There is Lao Xu Yin........Master Xu." Li Miaozhen curled his lips.

　　 "I promised you, it's just," Xu Qian said in embarrassment:

　　 "I thought it was a small case, something that went smoothly, but I didn't expect it to be so deeply involved. Besides, I am no longer a silver gong, and investigations are blocked everywhere, I am afraid... ."

　　 Susu's face changed slightly: "Do you want to regret it?"

　　 Xu Qi'an shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "No, I have to add years."

　　 Zhong Li and Li Miaozhen didn’t react for a while, but Su Su understood, lowered his head shyly, and whispered: "How long, how long?"

　　 Xu Qi'an sold Guanzi and said: "I'll talk about it later."

　　 He didn't expect that Su Su really agreed, and he just cheered and teased the glamorous female ghost.

　　..........

　　 was talking, there was Lao Zhang, the concierge from the yard, shouting with a slight panic: "Dalang, Dalang, people from the government are here..."

　　 Li Miaozhen heard the sound, twisted his eyebrows, grabbed the flying sword on the table, and pushed the door out.

　　 Xu Qi'an followed her out, just to see a group of men and horses entering the mansion forcefully, headed by a middle-aged man wearing the armor of the imperial army commander, behind him were more than a dozen soldiers with perseverance.

　　 In addition, there were several gangmen accompanied by silver gong Li Yuchun, Tong gong Tingfeng Song and Zhu Guangxiao.

　　 The original imposing commander of the imperial army swept the inner courtyard sharply, Chu Caiwei, Zhong Li of the Sitianjian, Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen of the two sects of Heaven and Human...

　　His eyes softened quietly.

　　 Xu Qi'an and Li Yuchun touched their eyes slightly, they moved away without much communication.

　　The commander of the forbidden army, holding the handle of the knife with one hand, said loudly: "Xu Qi'an, on your majesty's order, come to inquire about the robbery of the princess, please cooperate."

　　Emperor Yuan Jing is very concerned about the princess. Even at this sensitive moment, he still sent someone to investigate me, which shows that he attaches great importance to the princess...........

　　, we must deal with it, otherwise, it is likely to break the current peace. If Emperor Yuanjing knows that I "hidden" the princess, I will definitely not let it go...

　　 Xu Qi'an nodded silently, with a calm tone: "What does the general want to ask?"

　　The commander of the Forbidden Army said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, summoning everyone in the mansion. Besides, this place is not a place to talk. Come in and tell."

　　 Xu Qi'an immediately asked the concierge Lao Zhang to summon the servants of the mansion, and he took the commander of the imperial army, Li Yuchun, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao into the inner hall.

　　Because the servants were all summoned in the compound, no one served tea. Xu Qi'an sat in the main seat, staring blankly at the commander of the imperial army.

　　What kind of attitude is this? It's arrogant.........The commander of the forbidden army glanced at him, and said with a straight face:

　　"His Majesty has heard the mission mention the story of the princess being robbed. But there are still some details unknown, please tell the truth."

　　 Seeing Xu Qi'an nodding, the commander of the imperial army continued: “According to the description of the servant girl sent back to the Huai Palace, after the imperial concubine was taken into captivity, Mr. Xu caught up with the four leaders of the barbarian tribe. Is this possible?"

　　 Xu Qi'an answered truthfully: "Yes."

　　The commander of the Forbidden Army asked: "What happened later?"

　　 "Later, I naturally ran away. Does the general think that I am a sixth-rank martial artist who is capable of defeating four fourth-rank strongmen? Even if I have a magic book given by Confucianism, I can't do it, right." Xu Qi'an asked rhetorically. Said in his tone.

　　 Regarding this, the commander of the Forbidden Army did not refute it, which is considered tacit, but he did not fully believe it, squinted his eyes and asked:

　　 "Since I know I am not an opponent, why should Master Xu catch up?"

　　 Xu Qi’an’s face remained as usual: "I didn’t know that there was still a Fourth-Rank strong waiting for the rabbit. The reason for catching up was to do his best as a courtier, and see if there is a chance to save the princess. , It will naturally stop."

　　 Do your duty as a minister? In the entire court, you are the least worthy of the son of man.........The commander of the Forbidden Army was silent for a few seconds before suddenly showing a meaningful smile:

　　 "It seems that no one has ever told you that the princess is still alive, right? According to the maid’s description, at that time the "wang princess" had died by the snake demon Hongling. How did Master Xu know that the princess was alive?"

　　 When Xu Qi'an arrived, the fake princess had died.

The 　　 mission reported that the princess had been taken abducted and where she went unknown, because they had not seen this scene. And Xu Qi'an clearly saw this scene at the time, and it stands to reason that in his knowledge, the princess was dead.

　　 Now, Xu Qi'an is not surprised that the princess is not dead. What does this mean?

　　 Facing the question of the commander of the Forbidden Army, Xu Qi'an also showed a meaningful smile: "It seems that no one has ever told you, I don't know that it is a fake princess."

　　The commander of the Forbidden Army frowned.

　　 Xu Qi'an smiled confidently: "At that time, Que Yongxiu abandoned the mission and fled alone. Not only was he burdened with the "Princess", he also let the guards carry the maid to flee together.

　　"Hehe, Que Yongxiu is not a good person. If I still can't see the true princess in the maid, then I will be the first arrester. Isn't it a vain name?"

　　 The commander of the Forbidden Army was stunned. He was unable to refute Xu Qi'an's words, and even thought it should be the case.

　　If the fake princess can hide Xu Qi'an, then he is not a legendary catcher.

　　At this time, a forbidden army walked to the entrance of the inner hall and said respectfully: "Commander, the inspection has been completed."

　　The commander of the Forbidden Army immediately got up and said: "Farewell."

　　 He didn't even look at the three of Li Yuchun, so he took them away.

　　In the interior hall, there are only the former colleagues, the four people who used to have deep feelings, but they couldn't find the topic for a while, and they were silent with each other.

　　 After a long time, Li Yuchun got up, Xu Qi'an quickly got up, Chun Ge walked to him, examined it, and reached out to smooth the folds on his chest, and said lightly:

　　"If your clothes have pleats, they don’t look decent enough. You must remember to deal with these small things yourself."

After 　　 finished, he whispered: "You are doing a good job, I am proud of you."

　　"Header..." Xu Qi'an's eyes were hot.

　　 Li Yuchun waved his hand and looked at Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.

　　 "Ning Yan, leave Beijing as soon as possible."

　　 Song Tingfeng opened his arms, hugged him, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty will not let you go."

　　 Zhu Guangxiao said boredly: "Leave the capital, don’t come back again. Our three brothers may never see each other again. But it’s good, better than death."

　　 Xu Qi'an grinned, and said with a smile: "I won't leave for the time being. I have time to listen to music in the future. I will treat you."

　　He escorted the three people out of the inner hall. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Zhong Li against the wall and cautiously moved over, looking left and right along the way to prevent possible danger.

　　 Then, she and Li Yuchun stared at each other, and had a face-to-face encounter.

　　 Xu Qi'an clearly saw that there was a layer of goose bumps on the back of Brother Chun's neck, and then, as if he had encountered something terrible, he instinctively jumped back and flew up at the same time.

　　bang!

　　 Zhong Li was kicked and flew out, and he rolled into the distance.

　　 Li Yuchun opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He didn't dare to look at Zhong Li, and walked away.

　　 Xu Qi'an rushed over and helped Sister Zhong up. She cried and asked aggrievedly: "Why did he hit me..."

　　 "........."

　　 Xu Qi'an also opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a while, and touched her head with pity: "He has something wrong with him. I will see him later, so I will avoid him."

　　............

　　The commander of the Forbidden Army left Xu Mansion with his subordinates and ran out on horseback for a certain distance. This slowed down and asked: "How is the situation in Xu Mansion?"

　　 subordinates replied: "Recently, there are no new servants who have entered the palace, and there are no traces of disguise. Everyone's identity has been asked clearly. When you look back, you can check the household registration of the government office and Changle county office.

　　 "In addition, we simply searched the Xu mansion and found no woman of unknown origin."

　　 It seems that he really has nothing to do with the princess..........The commander of the Forbidden Army nodded and ordered:

　　 "During this period, send someone to stare at Xu's mansion, pay attention to everyone who enters and leave the mansion, and if there are new people who enter the mansion, report immediately."

　　 subordinates nodded yes, and then asked, "Does Xu Qi'an need to send someone to stare at?"

　　The commander of the Forbidden Army said in a huff: "You stared at a sixth-rank martial artist?"

　　 "........."

　　After returning to the palace, the commander of the imperial army reported the matter truthfully. Emperor Yuan Jing did not respond, neither ordered to continue the investigation nor said to stop there.

　　...........

　　 The afternoon sun shines with a slight heat, and the green leaves show a colorful halo in the scorching sun.

Aunt 　　 decided to make sour plum soup for everyone, which was praised by Xu Lingyin, Lina, and Chu Caiwei.

　　 Xu Qi'an pushed open the door of Erlang's study, Xu Erlang was playing against Chu Yuanzhen, drinking, playing against each other, and chatting.

　　obviously... Xu Baixuan knocked on the table twice, attracting the attention of the two, and said in a deep voice:

　　"Erlang, I remember that there is an official position that records every word and deed in the emperor’s court. Everything is recorded regardless of size."

　　 Chu Yuanzhen smiled and said: "It's a living man."

　　 Xu Qi'an nodded immediately: "Yes, that's the living man, eh, from the Imperial Academy, right?"

　　 Xu Erlang raised his chin and nodded: "The Imperial Academy is responsible for compiling history books, and personal notes are one of the important basis for compiling history. Naturally, Qinggui from the Imperial Academy will serve as the living man."

　　 Xu Qi'an asked: "Can you reach it?"

　　 Xu Erlang hesitated and nodded: "It's a bit difficult, but it can be."

　　 Xu Qi'an whispered: "I want to pay attention to all the daily life since Emperor Yuan Jing became the throne."

　　........ Xu Erlang refused in one mouth: "Absurd, personal notes can not be brought out, and moreover, can not be transcripted grandiosely."

　　 Xu Qi'an shook his head: "I didn't let anyone transcribe it, let alone let you bring it out. Use your brain to write it down, and then recite it to me. The eighth stage self-cultivation state, I’ve long remembered it."

　　 Xu Erlang's face turned white: "That's also very tiring, the daily commentary is too long..."

　　 Xu Qi'an patted the younger brother on the shoulder: "Aren’t you dazzling with Miss Wang’s family, my eldest brother will teach you a trick: Edo forty-eight moves."

　　.............

　　 The next day, Xu Qi'an rode his beloved little mare to a restaurant. After ordering a private room, he ordered wine and dishes and waited slowly.

　　 Within a quarter of an hour, President Chen of the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple Cheng came to the appointment one after another.

　　 The two of them wore casual clothes and were very sneaky. They seemed to be afraid of being recognized, and made simple disguise.

　　 "Master Xu is now a taboo person. If you meet in private, you have to be careful." Dali Temple Cheng had the old fritters smile on his face, eating vegetables and drinking leisurely.

　　 President Chen catches his head and his face is serious, straight to the point: "What are you looking for?"

　　 Xu Qi'an poured wine for the two and smiled:

　　"Thanks to both of you. I want to investigate an old case. The victim's name is Su Hang, a scholar of 29 years of Joan of Arc. In Yuanjing 14 years, he was demoted to Jiangzhou as prefect for some reason. The following year , Because of bribery and corruption.

　　"This person used to be one of the princes, his status is not low, the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple must have his files, I want to take a look."

　　 Dali Temple Cheng frowned: "I never heard of this person, why did Master Xu suddenly investigate an old case more than 20 years ago?"

　　 Xu Qi'an casually explained: "It is true that this Suhang eldest daughter is my concubine."

　　After saying these words, he saw Chen Tautou and Dali Temple Cheng's face suddenly change.

　　"???"

　　 Dali Temple Cheng swallowed: "The person who died in Yuanjing's 14 years, he, his eldest daughter is your concubine?"

　　 Chen Catching did not speak, but seeing Xu Qi'an's eyes, he seemed to say: Hello?

　　 Uh, Su Su's real age is indeed my mother.........Xu Qi'an reacted and smiled indifferently:

　　 "Just kidding, it's actually his eldest daughter's daughter, my concubine. Because of an accident, the eldest daughter happened to be away from home and escaped."

　　 Dali Temple Cheng nodded: "This matter is easy to handle, three days later, at the same time, meet here. I will bring you the file, but you can't take it away. After reading it, I will take it back. "

　　 Chen catches the head and said: "Me too."

　　 Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you two."

　　 said, and took out two silver tickets worth one hundred taels.

　　 Dali Temple Cheng did not pick up, and laughed at himself: "I just said that Master Zheng has called my conscience back, and you must not contaminate me again. Eating your banquet is a reward."

　　 Chen catches the head: "Me too."

　　Are you Zhang Yide...Xu Qi'an vomited in his heart, raised his wine glass and smiled.

　　Satisfied with wine and food, he leaned on the back of the little mare, following the ups and downs of the rhythm, and walked towards his teeth.

　　 There is another big beauty waiting for her to settle.

　　............

　　After lunch~IndoMTL.com~The princess returned to the inn unhappy and sat at the dressing table without saying a word.

　　 She suspected that she had been abandoned, and it took four days for the Saintess of Heaven to leave, and there was no news. And the smelly man seemed to have forgotten her completely.

　　 never came to her again.

　　 There is still money, enough for her to live in this inn for a ten-year period, but she has no support in her heart and can no longer feel safe.

　　Especially after having breakfast today, the princess disguised herself as an ordinary woman, and she wandered around the city alone and went to the theater.

　　 Theater is always interesting, lively, and interesting.

　　 She took out five copper plates and went in to watch a scene. The scene was about a daughter from a rich family who fell in love with a poor talent, but because the door was not right, the family did not agree, so the two eloped .

　　In the beginning, life was sweet and happy. Scholars studied hard for fame, rich daughters learned to do embroidery, bare hands, and little days were poor, but they were still able to live.

　　 Gradually, as the wealth of money brought by the wealthy daughter ran out, the scholars only knew how to read, and life became stretched.

　　 So the rich lady was abandoned by the scholar and kicked out of the house.

　　 She walked sadly on the street alone, and finally chose to drown herself in the river.

　　 Seeing the end, the princess burst into tears and felt that she was the poor rich daughter.

　　 was tricked out of the house by rhetoric, and then abandoned.

　　 "Xu Qi'an, the one who suffered a thousand swords, must have forgotten me, he thinks I am a cumbersome..." The princess sat in front of the dressing table, silently weeping.

　　 Just then, the door of the guest room was knocked.
