Nightwatcher Chapter 7: Meet the Prince

The little **** lowered his head and said, "Master Xu went to Princess Lin'an’s Shaoyinyuan first. The two had spoken behind the rockery for a long time. When they came out, Princess Lin’an had red eyes and seemed to have just cried... ..."

Hearing this, Emperor Yuan Jing frowned and interrupted: "What are they doing behind the rockery?"

The old **** glanced at Emperor Yuan Jing's expression and knew that his Majesty was displeased. The princess and Xu Tongluo got behind the secluded rockery, and then the princess came out with red eyes.

This is really fascinating.

"To be honest." The old **** stared.

"Yes... because Princess Lin'an came out with a knife. Xu Tongluo hid behind the rockery as soon as she saw her. It was a slave who told her that Xu Tongluo was hiding in the rockery." The **** Explained quickly, trembling, afraid to hide.

The old **** immediately looked at Emperor Yuan Jing and saw that Li Guang in his majesty's eyes had already converged, and he was relieved immediately, saying: "You continue to say."

"Then Master Xu entered the hall with the princess, and the slave was kicked out. His Royal Highness and Master Xu talked in the hall for two quarters of an hour. The slave did not know the content of the conversation." The **** finally expressed his expression when he said this. Here is my grievance:

"The slave is not dereliction of duty, it's just that Mr. Xu is too tough."

After speaking, he carefully glanced at Emperor Yuan Jing with the corner of his eye.

Disappointed him, Emperor Yuan Jing didn't have any expressions, and the **** had to continue: "Then Master Xu took the slave and Princess Lin'an to see the body of Empress Fu.

"In the process, Mrs. Xu wanted to touch the body of the Fu concubine, but the slave tried his best to stop him, but he was unsuccessful, and he was kicked."

Why don't you say that the little ghost is difficult to deal with, that kick, the little **** kept in his heart, waiting for this time to give Xu Qi'an some eye drops.

Sure enough, Emperor Yuan Jing frowned.

The old eunuch, who has accompanied him for decades, asked instead of the master: "How did it work?"

"It's been repeated for a long time." The **** replied.

He didn't dare to exaggerate, because if Emperor Yuanjing was furious, he only had to find someone to check and ask Xu Qi'an to question him. The lie was immediately exposed, and the crime of deceiving the emperor would not be committed by the eunuch.

The old **** asked: "Then what?"

"Then...then left." The **** said: "But Mrs. Xu and Princess Lin'an said that the death of Concubine Fu is something else."

"Something else?" Yuan Jingdi finally spoke again, sitting upright, leaning forward slightly, staring at the eunuch.

"Master Xu said that a normal fall should be face down, not back down, but Concubine Fu did die with her back down. Most likely she was pushed down."

The **** retelled Xu Bai's analysis of prostitution to Emperor Yuanjing.

I was pushed down and fell to death... Emperor Yuan Jing squinted his eyes, looked up at the ceiling, pondered for a long time, and said:

"Retreat."

The **** retired and left.

The old **** said with a flattering smile: "This Xu Qi'an is indeed well-deserved. The three law department has been investigating for many days and is helpless. When he comes, he immediately finds the clues. The time to solve the case is just around the corner."

Emperor Yuan Jing snorted: "The Three Laws Division does not know how to handle cases, but just doesn't want to. However, Xu Qi'an does have some skills."

He is still satisfied.

After a pause, Emperor Yuan Jing said: "I have passed on an oral order to let the cabinet draft an edict and restart Xu Qi'an's nobleness."

The old **** took the order to leave the bedroom and did not go to the cabinet immediately, but instead called the **** who supervised Xu Qi'an to handle the case and slapped him with a slap.

"God father?"

The little **** held his face aggrievedly.

"When is the time, are you still playing tricks with me? Do you think your majesty can't tell? Do you know that you just walked through the ghost gate." The old **** said sharply:

"For the concubine Fu, your majesty is irritated. At this time, you are playing small eyes in front of your majesty. It is pure fate that you are fine today.

"Let you supervise Xu Qi'an, so you should supervise carefully, don't carry private goods. The people he contacts in the harem and everything he does involve concubines, princesses and princes. You can't have a little bit of it. Prejudice and opinion, otherwise it will be a noble man."

His Majesty will judge for himself what Xu Qi'an has done. The **** instills his own private goods, that is, the family of the Emperor Zhibeak.

The little **** bowed his head and said tremblingly: "My son knows."

The old **** snorted: "Master Xu drove you out for your own good. If you really heard what you shouldn't, the day the case is closed is when your head falls."

The little **** was taken aback for a moment, and after a few seconds, he figured it out, his face turned pale suddenly, and a cold sweat came out of his back.

The hatred for Xu Qi'an's kick disappeared.

........

At dusk.

Xu Qi'an sits on horseback, and his beloved little mare trots "dada da da". He squinted, facing the orange sun, humming briskly in his mouth:

"Walking is the way of the world; carrying the flag of the wind, do not prostitute or be greedy to be a good official, the people have you in their hearts..."

The little mare dadada entered the alley of Jiaofangsi.

Entering the entrance of the alley, Xu Qi'an turned over and got off the horse, threw the reins to the Qingyi servant who was guarding the entrance of the alley, and threw a piece of silver by the way.

The courtyard gate of Yingmei Xiaoge was closed, so it went out of business behind closed doors?

Xu Qi'an glanced at the afterglow in the west, and said to his heart that at this hour, the manager of the teaching workshop was open for business.

"Papa Papa..."

He raised his head and knocked on the courtyard door of Yingmei Xiaoge. Not long after, the door opened. As soon as a crack was revealed, the Tsing Yi servant inside said:

"Yingmei Xiaoge no longer accepts alcoholic guests, the guests should go to the other courtyard..."

The gate of the courtyard opened. After seeing Xu Qi'an, the young man in Tsing Yi was taken aback for a moment and stammered: "You, you are..."

"I am the official Xu of your lady." Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows.

"Ghost!"

The young man in Tsing Yi screamed, pulled out his legs and fled, walking fast with both legs, and then found himself stepping on the spot, with the back collar being held by Xu Qi'an.

"What are you calling? I'm still alive." Xu Qi'an raised his other hand and gave him two painless but resounding slaps and asked:

"Is this official's slap warm."

With the hot and hot touch, Tsing Yi Xiaosi believes that Xu Qi'an in front of him is a living person, but he is just wondering how he has changed so much and he is still wearing a mink hat.

"You can be counted as coming back. The Lady of Floating Fragrance washes her face with tears every day, she is depressed and unhappy, and her people are reduced a lot." Tsing Yi Xiaosi hurriedly brushed up her favorability for her master.

Although he was very curious about the reason why Xu Qi'an came back from death, he did not dare to ask.

"I will immediately notify her that you are back."

"You told her about the visitor, and asked her if she could come out to accompany her." Xu Qi'an said.

The young man in Tsing Yi hurried into the depths of the courtyard and stood in the courtyard outside the fragrant bedroom, shouting: "Miss, a guest is here, I ask if you can go out to accompany you."

Floating Xiang did not answer, and the maid's scolding voice came from the room: "The lady is unwell, she won't accompany the wine. Who asked you to open the door, do you want it?"

Xu Qi'an coughed, "Ms. Fuxiang doesn't accompany guests, then I will go."

There was a sudden silence in the room, and then a fragrant and trembling voice came: "Xu Lang?"

His voice has changed so much that Floating Fragrance dared not confirm it for a while.

Xu Qi'an smiled and said: "It's me."

The sound of "ping pong" came from the room, which seemed to be knocking over something, followed by the maid’s exclamation: "Miss, slow down..."

The next moment, the door opened, wearing a white long dress, bare feet of snow-white jade, and the fragrance of black hair scattered casually, he violently opened the door and rushed out.

One person is standing under the eaves and the other is standing in the courtyard, the picture seems to be frozen.

Xu Qi'an said helplessly: "It's cold outside, go back to the house."

Floating Xiang wailed, struggling to rush into his arms, and wept bitterly.

........

"This is how it happened. Not only did I not die, but I got a blessing in disguise and benefited a lot."

Xu Qi'an sat at the table and drank the wine from the Jiaofang Division, explaining to Fuxiang the ins and outs of his resurrection.

Fuxiang sat on the side of the bed, the hem of the skirt split, revealing a long leg like a white python, and there was a bruise on the fair skin of the calf. The maid helped to apply the ointment.

This is because I ran too fast just now and got hit.

Floating Fragrance is in a complicated mood now, with both the joy of being lost and regaining, but also the sadness and palpitations that are hard to hide, and the heart is always empty.

"As long as I think of Xu Lang's death in duty, the slave family is still empty."

"It's okay, it's okay, you will feel so full later."

When the sun was completely down, a line of maids brought in a table full of food, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and crawling on the ground.

The two were sitting at the table drinking alcohol, the topic was casual and there was no topic.

"Actually, many scholars admire Xu Lang in the capital of the scholars. Yesterday, the maids inquired about your death from the guest of the Jiaofang Division. Those scholars sighed and said that Xu Ning Banquet was absolutely impossible. The future."

Speaking of which, when I faced thousands of rebels and fought alone, when I was exhausted, I did write a word." Xu Qi'an held the glass.

Floating fragrance and wonderful eyes are shining, and the face blooms with a bright smile, looking forward to: "The Nujia wants to hear Xu Lang's new work."

I always feel a little ashamed when Wen Chao Gong...I really am a righteous man... Xu Qi'an said this in his heart, but when he should be forced, he was absolutely unambiguous.

He was silent for a few seconds, let his temperament become quiet, slowly said:

"The young man is chivalrous, making friends with Wudu Xiongs. The liver and gallbladder are pierced, the hair is towering, in the middle of the conversation, life and death are the same, and a promise is heavy."

Floating fragrance looked at him infatuatedly, the water shining in his beautiful eyes, charming and confused.

I was savoring this word in my heart. Although it was an incomplete word, there was a picture of him facing thousands of rebels, seeing death as home.

She became obsessed with this man and couldn't help herself.

"Don't patronize in a daze, I tell you it has a purpose." Xu Qi'an tapped his finger on the desktop.

"Purpose?"

Floating fragrance returned to his senses, returning a blank stare.

"Help me publicize, the Jiaofang Division is the most suitable to publicize these glorious deeds."

Governor Zhang didn't add his words to the memorial to Shangbi, so he was so confused. So the officialdom of the capital and the scholars have never read his masterpieces.

How impatient they have to be.

"...oh."

At the end of the dinner, the maid boiled the hot water and prepared to serve Xu Daguan to take a bath.

"Retreat." Xu Qi'an sent the maid away, leaving Fuxiang alone in the house.

When the floating fragrance was draped in tulle and stepped into the tub, Xu Qi'an tore off the mink cap from his head.

A big bald egg.

"Puff..."

Floating Xiang didn't hold back, he laughed out loud, lying on the edge of the bathtub, the smiling flowers trembled.

What's funny, although I have become bald, I have also become stronger... Xu Qi'an glared at her.

His hair is estimated to grow back in half a year.

.......

Fuxiang’s chest is not a chest. When Xu Qian’s head rests on it, it becomes a brain cushion wave.

If Xu Qi'an turns over again, it will be called facial cleanser.

The two people after the bath lay on the bed, talking, Fuxiang was a little stuffy, breathing was not smooth, and pushed away the big bald heads in their chests.

"Puff!"

Xu Qi'an popped out a gas engine and extinguished the candle.

The next day, under the service of the oiran lady, Xu Qi'an said goodbye to the scent of reluctant but dark circles.

The maids of Yingmei Xiaoge, watching Xu Qi'an's back cross the discharge gate, whispered:

"Master Xu is too good, I think the bed in the lady's room should be changed."

"Yes, it rings as soon as it sits, and it's almost falling apart. It's really hard work."

"Go boil the water, the lady wants to take a bath. Also, prepare some loquat cream, the lady's voice is hoarse."

Leaving Yingmei Xiaoge, the cold spring was precipitous, and the oncoming cold current cheered Xu Qi'an up, and he walked towards the stable.

Suddenly, I stepped on a hard bump under my feet, and looked down, it was a purse.

After stepping into the realm of refining the gods, did you directly upgrade to picking up a purse... Xu Qi'an was a little pleased, and naturally bent over to pick it up, intending to take it into his arms.

He was stunned suddenly.

This purse is exactly the same as the purse hanging on his waist. It has fine stitches and embroidered a pine and cypress, stitched by sister Lingyue.

Second uncle?

At the same time as the thoughts surfaced, Xu Qi'an saw a young man wearing a Confucian shirt hurriedly in the direction of the stable. The young man had red lips and white teeth, his eyes were like stars, and his features were beautiful. He inherited his mother's fine genes perfectly.

I really didn't expect this... Xu Qi'an said in heart.

The handsome young man's eyes kept drifting on the ground, and finally drifted to Xu Qi'an, and then he froze.

Xu Qi'an twitched the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to say hello: "Morning."

......Xu Erlang looked at him, his lips moved: "Morning..."

The brothers looked at each other in silence. After a while, Xu Qi'an took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere, walked over, and returned his purse to Jiro:

"Be careful, luckily I found my purse."

Xu Erlang took it calmly and nodded: "Thank you, brother."

The two brothers couldn't find the topic for a while, so they walked to the stable side by side, brought their horses, and walked out of the workshop.

At this time, it was just dawn, and there were very few pedestrians except for vendors and merchandisers.

"With my classmates yesterday..."

"With my colleagues yesterday..."

The brothers said in unison.

Xu Qi'an looked back at Jiaofangsi Hutong, squinted at the little brother, and said: "Where is the classmate?"

Xu Xinnian looked ahead and said lightly: "Where are my colleagues?"

The two brothers are no longer talking.

Xu Qi'an remembered that when he was released from prison and went home, Xu Xinnian died socially because of "the great service is like a long night", pretending to be in a coma in shame.

Look again now, when he met him at the Jiaofang Division on the spot, but his face remained unchanged.

I’m not growing up alone, Erlang’s cheeks have also become a lot thicker...Well, maybe it’s because you have died in front of me too many times, and you are used to it...Xu Qi'an Seeing a green orange seller on the side of the road, he hurriedly reined in the horse's rein: "Wait a minute."

Xu Xinnian reined in, looking puzzled.

Xu Qi'an bought a pound of green tangerines, greeted Xu Erlang to dismount, peeling and wiping clothes, and said:

"The powder of the girls from Jiaofang Division is too strong. Cover it with the juice of green orange peel. No matter how bright the nose is, women can't smell it."

Xu Erlang complied with neat hands and feet, while seizing the opportunity to activate the poison tongue attribute, taunting:

"Big brother is active, it's a pity not to go to school."

Xu Qi'an glanced at him, "Second Uncle taught me the way."

Xu Xinnian didn't seem to say anything. He lowered his head and carefully smeared his clothes with green orange peel.

After the incident, Xu Qi'an handed the green orange to Xu Xinnian, saying: "I want to go to the palace to handle the case, and you take the orange home."

Jiro frowned and said: "Doing a case? What do you want to do again."

"I heard about the case of Concubine Fu, the emperor Lao Er threw it to me." Xu Qi'an explained.

"What did you mix with this **** case?"

Yunlu Academy has a dedicated channel for news. What happened in the capital cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Academy.

"I can't push it off again."

Xu Xinnian sneered: "If you let Dad give you a sap, and then use it as an excuse to recuperate, the case will naturally be rejected. Besides, this case is bound to be difficult to investigate."

Sure enough, Erlang is suitable for officialdom. The degree of black belly is up to the standard...Xu Qi'an smiled and said: "Actually, the case in the palace is best to investigate."

Because the masters in the palace are like clouds, they are the home of Emperor Yuan Jing, and those fancy systems can't get in. Fu Fei's case is probably the most "normal" case he has ever handled since he came to this world.

Xu Xinnian nodded and looked at the green orange disgustingly: "Green orange is sour and astringent, no one at home can eat it."

"If you buy it, you can't waste it. Give it to Ringtone."

"Good idea."

.........

Dali Temple.

In front of the majestic Yamen, Xu Qi'an sat on horseback and glanced at the three gilded characters of "Dali Temple".

Dali Temple is in charge of the trial of criminal cases, which is equivalent to the Supreme People's Court in Xu Qi'an's previous life. Together with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department, it is called the Three Laws Division.

Usually when encountering major cases, the emperor will ask the three law divisions to deal with the case. This shows how powerful Wei Yuan, who is in charge of both the Dagangren Yamen and the Superintendent, is so powerful.

Emperor Yuan Jing only used him to check and balance the civil and military officials.

Similarly, it can be seen how lucky Xu Qi'an is. He happened to join the guard, which happened to be appreciated by Wei Yuan. From a fast hand in Changle County to a character who can walk sideways in the capital.

"Go to Dali Temple, let him come out to see the official." Xu Qi'an showed the gold medal, and said to the servant on duty at the gate:

"If he does not come out, the officer will go to the palace and file a complaint with his majesty, saying that he deliberately makes things difficult and obstructs the case."

The government officials hurried in.

Fifteen minutes later, the Dali Temple Qing brought two young officials and a group of Dali Temple officials to greet him.

"Master Xu, there are missed far to welcome, some missed to welcome." Dali Siqing came out with a smile.

Xu Qi'an got off his horse and greeted him enthusiastically: "Oh, why did you alarm Master Pei to come out in person? The officials are ashamed and ashamed."

Xu Qi'an asked Dali Siqing to come out to meet him, just to make him ugly and shame him. One of the dignified nine qings, personally went out to meet a small gong in front of the yamen, it was a big loss...Everyone had a holiday, so if you catch the opportunity to wear small shoes, how can you not make good use of it.

"It should be, it should be."

The Dali Temple Secretary led Xu Qi'an inside and said: "Master Xu came back just right. You belong to the case of Concubine Fu. But I have to remind Master Xu that this case is dangerous, so don’t get caught up in it. Ah."

This is gloating.

The Fu concubine case was turned into offending the princelings. Do not offend Yuanjing Emperor.

At least I exchanged a viscount, what is it to offend the old emperor... Xu Qi'an smiled and said:

"It's okay, before you sink in, you must take away those obtrusive old guys. Anyway, you have a gold medal in your hand. The power to cut first and then play is not in vain."

Dali Temple squinted, "Master Xu can really talk and laugh."

"Master Xu came to Dali Temple this time for the prince?"

"Exactly."

..........

Xu Qi'an saw the prince in the "prison cell". The so-called prison cell is actually a clean and tidy room. The decoration is not luxurious, but the sparrow is small and complete.

The prince was kept in a claustrophobic room and could not leave until the case was cleared.

As expected of the prince, he is different from ordinary people in jail... Xu Qi'an said in heart.

After the clerk who closed the door retreats, he clasped his fist and said: "Xu Qi'an, humble post, I have seen His Royal Highness."

"You are here to try this palace, did the emperor ask you to preside over this case?" The prince sat at the table and looked at Xu Qi'an.

"The three law divisions were prevaricating and reluctant to intervene in this matter. Only the hob was looking for me. Anyway, I have offended enough people." Xu Qi'an shrugged, sat down at the table, and poured himself a cup water.

These actions of his were all seen by the prince.

"His Royal Highness, please describe in detail what happened that day."

The prince nodded slightly, spoke for a moment, and slowly said: "When the Japanese Palace ran out of lunch at the concubine’s residence, and the snow had not melted yet, I took the guards back to the East Palace and met a maid beside Fu Concubine. , The palace lady said, Concubine Fu invited my palace to go over.

"I let her go to the Qingfeng Hall, which is the palace of the Fu concubine. After entering the Qingfeng Hall, the maid led me to the attic and asked me to wait in the outer hall, saying that Fu concubine was changing clothes.

"I drank too much wine and was very thirsty, so I drank the tea on the table to quench my thirst, somehow I fell asleep in a daze.

"Then I was awakened by the screams. I didn't expect Concubine Fu fell to his death, and this palace became the biggest suspect."

Xu Qi'an asked without expression: "There was no court lady in the attic at the time?"

"There is no outside hall, I don't know inside."

"Where is the court lady?"

"Missing."

I'm missing...Xu Qi'an's eyes flashed sharply, his arms were on the table, and he stared at the prince: "How did the prince know that the palace lady is missing."

For a moment, the prince was shocked by the sharp aura of this little gong.

"Although the palace is in prison, it has its own way to inquire about things outside." The prince said with a cold face.

He was annoyed at the shock he was just now.

Contacting the prince to see himself calmly, Xu Qi'an believed him.

"Does Fu concubine and the prince usually have intersections?" Xu Qi'an asked.

"Naturally not."

The prince denied that as the East Palace, it is impossible and should not have any private intersection with the emperor's concubine.

"Then why the Concubine Fu sent someone to invite the prince, and the prince went to the appointment without even thinking about it?" Xu Qi'an hit the nail on the head.

"My palace.....was drunk too much at the time and was not thinking about it." The prince looked a little unnatural.

Bah, it's not gluttonous.

In fact, as a man, Xu Qi'an understands the prince’s psychology very well. Concubine Fu is a beautiful woman with good looks and temperament, and the prince may not have been without reverie in the past.

It coincided that I drank too much wine that day, but it was also a wine for aphrodisiac and kidney...People who have experienced a little drunkenness know in their hearts that people are very floating in that state. Now I dare to do things that I don't dare to think about.

If I don't dare to say it, I blurt it out when I touch my lips.

It coincided with the invitation of the Fu concubine, and there was no invitation even, and it passed with a thought.....

"It sounds like someone is setting up a sleeve for His Royal Highness." Xu Qi'an analyzed.

"Naturally, someone framed this palace, and Master Xu thinks so too." The prince breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, no, the case cannot be so subjective. I just explained one of the possibilities, and there is another possibility." Xu Qi'an once again held the tabletop, leaned over to the prince, and said every word:

"His Royal Highness drank too much wine that day, and his heart was overwhelming. He couldn't help but think of the long-awaited concubine. Anyway, His Majesty is obsessed with monasticism and is not close to female sex. His Royal Highness starts from the heart, evil grows to the courage, and turns around. I went to Qingfeng Temple in an attempt to defile the concubine Fu.

"Unexpectedly, the concubine Fu Zhenlie was unyielding and refused to obey. During the dispute, you accidentally pushed her down to the attic and accidentally fell to death. Then you sent someone to secretly remove a court lady and fake that you were being blamed. ."

"Nonsense!"

His Royal Highness slapped the table, furious: "Xu Qi'an, you dare to slander this palace, you dare to frame this palace."

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, this is just a humble guess. The truth remains to be verified." Xu Qi'an smiled and complimented.

Hey, the prince’s city mansion is still not deep enough, do you care about the location too much? How can you be emperor at this level in the future?

The siblings of the Prince and Lin'an are not extremely smart people. Xu Qi'an became more and more suspicious that the eldest son of Emperor Yuanjing was the prince, because it had ulterior motives.

After the prince calmed down, Xu Qi'an asked again: "The warlock of Sitianjian has visited His Royal Highness."

"This matter involves the palace, the Fu concubine, and Dafeng Guoben. Do you think the father is a warlock who believes in Sitianjian?" The prince sneered and asked.

Xu Qi'an nodded. After spending so long in the capital, he could see some ways.

Although Si Tianjian must rely on the royal family and the dynasty's luck, this can be seen from the fact that Chu Caiwei's promotion to the sixth rank requires the "recognition" of the people in Beijing.

But Yipin’s supervisor is too strong~IndoMTL.com~ So Sitian Supervisor is not a pure vassal, and it is more like a cooperative relationship with Dafeng.

When it comes to the case of Chu Jun, Emperor Yuan Jing may not have trusted Sitianjian. And Sitian Supervisor may not be willing to intervene in this kind of mess.

"The humble job also needs to check the body of the prince, and hope that the prince will cooperate."

Xu Qi'an grabbed the prince's hand and checked his wrists, arms, and then his neck...no claw marks or scratches.

"The humble post will find out the truth as soon as possible. If the prince is wronged, he will naturally return you innocence." Xu Qi'an got up and clasped his fists.

"Wait!"

His Royal Highness stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Master Xu and Lin'an, are they too close?"

Also, ask for a monthly pass, sir.
