Chapter 54: Small Talk
But said that Xu Xian entered the door, just saw Xu Xuanzheng and Li Gongfu, talking in a low voice about the things in the yamen, Xu Xian gave a salute to Xu Xuan and Li Gongfu, this is what Xu Xian learned after going to school, and scholars should have etiquette, Xu Xuan hurriedly replied, and said with a smile, "The third brother is back, come, sit on this stool, let's talk for a while, we haven't been together for half a year."
Xu Xian nodded with a hint of shyness, sat next to Xu Xuan, Li Gongfu on the side shook his head secretly, they are two brothers, Xu Xuan can not only talk to the magistrate, but even the Hanlin Academy in the court is his teacher, if it weren't for Xu Xuan's repeated advice, Li Gongfu would definitely tell Xu Jiaorong Cheng Fang's true identity, but this third brother Xu Xian, it is said that when he studied medicine, he was not as good as Xu Xuan, and later studied, sent to the school, and every monthly exam was the end, and even almost went home by the teacher again, although it is better now, but it is also at the middle and lower level in the school.
Li Gongfu didn't understand and didn't inquire about Xu Xuan's study, but every time he was seconded by Cheng Fang to handle the case, Cheng Fang was very kind to him, and between the words, he was very satisfied with Xu Xuan's intelligence. As for his mother-in-law's thoughts, he Li Gongfu can be the head catcher, what Xu Jiaorong thinks in his heart, where does he not understand?
If you want him Li Gongfu to say, no matter which of the two brothers is promising, they are all members of the Xu family, wouldn't it be better if they really had the ability to open the door and start a household? However, his mother-in-law is afraid that Xu Xuan is stronger than Xu Xian all day long, I am afraid that what she is afraid of is that Xu Xuan has taken away the inheritance of Xu Xian's property only that Xu Xian's son-in-law has, women, her knowledge is always short-sighted, only when Xu Xuan is out of breath, she will not worry about Xu Xian's property.
Xu Xuan remembered that he had just talked to Li Gongfu halfway through, and asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, I heard a patient who saw a doctor talk about the loss of treasury silver a few days ago, I don't know if this case can be solved?" ”
I can't help but Xu Xuan doesn't care, the theft of the treasury silver was a good thing that Xiaoqing did at that time, and it was also a prelude to Bai Suzhen's coming out, and it also reminded that the White Snake Legend was really going to begin.
Li Gongfu sighed, "Or this is what it is, today, I am here to ask Xu Xuan, now this treasury silver is still inexplicably missing, I personally brought people over that day, but I met a handsome snitch, this guy is so bold that he didn't even hide his face, and he fought with us head-on." ”
"What happened?" Xu Xian, who was sitting on the side, asked, Xu Xian was more interested in the people who stole the silver than in the lost treasury silver.
"How? Of course I ran! Li Gongfu glared at his brother-in-law angrily, this is really a pot that can't be opened, if he really catches it, will he Li Gongfu tell them so much detail?
"Oh, since this person dares to show his face, one reason is that the other party is confident that he will escape from your hands, and the second is this thief, I'm afraid she is not our local, so she is not afraid of letting you recognize her at all" Xu Xuan frowned and said in a low voice.
"Alas" Li Gongfu heard Xu Xuan say this, and sighed, "I really let you say it, the other party's martial arts are very superb, and the good players in the three classes of fast catchers in the yamen were all knocked to the ground by the other party, and only my old Li can still fight with him, but later, I am also barely supporting, seeing that I am also going to be defeated by this person, I don't know where a masked man came out of nowhere, and came forward to block it for me, this snitch is gone, otherwise, your brother-in-law is probably still lying on the bed now."
Xu Xuan was already determined at this time, this handsome man who stole the treasury silver must be Xiaoqing. But what's the matter with the man in black who suddenly appeared?
Li Gongfu saw that Xu Xuan didn't speak, so he smiled and said, "Xu Xuan, where is the relationship, is it good, do you just watch your brother-in-law being beaten by the magistrate?" Don't you want to help your brother-in-law? ”
Looking at Li Gongfu like this, Xu Xuan rolled his eyes, "Please, brother-in-law, are you catching fast or am I catching fast, I'm just an apprentice in the medical hall, how can you solve the case and let me give you ideas, but it's not impossible, didn't you say that when the treasury silver was lost, it came and went without a trace, if you want me to say, arrange a few good kung fu to hide in the silver box, arrange a few more people on the beams and other places, and when they steal the silver, everyone will be able to rush up, in addition, If this person's martial arts are too strong, use this fishing net to catch this person, isn't this once and for all?"
When Li Gongfu heard Xu Xuan say this, he slapped his palms with both hands, "Ah, Xu Xuan, your method is good, I will arrange for someone to go over and prepare to go in a while." ”
Xu Xuan sighed secretly, in fact, Xu Xuan's original intention was to let Li Gongfu worship the god of the library, but even if he said it now, would Li Gongfu believe it? Li Gongfu worshiped the god of Ku, when he caught Xiaoqing, after being frightened and fainted by Xiaoqing's prototype, he knew his martial arts, and he couldn't catch such a monster, so he would listen to Xu Jiaorong's words and worship the god of Ku. When he said it at this time, Li Gongfu would probably only smile.
Xu Xian listened to Xu Xuan and Li Gongfu's enthusiastic talk, he originally wanted to interject a few words, but what Xu Xuan and Li Gongfu said was all official affairs in the yamen, Xu Xian, a scholar who only reads sage books, but he couldn't interject the words, and now he saw that the two were not talking, so he smiled at Xu Xuan and asked, "I heard my sister say that the second brother also went to school, I don't know which academy it is, and who is the teacher?" Maybe I know each other."
Xu Xuan frowned slightly, Xu Xian's words, that kind of high-minded taste, even a dull person like Li Gongfu can feel it, however, he glanced at Xu Xian, and did not see from Xu Xian's eyes that he deliberately targeted himself, so he smiled and said, "I didn't go to the academy to study, I just studied with a teacher, as for the teacher's name, without the teacher's consent, I don't dare to say it." ”
Xu Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "Second brother, if it doesn't work, it's better to go to our academy to study, the master of our academy is still very good."
Li Gongfu on the side heard Xu Xian's words, frowned, his brother-in-law, compared with Xu Xuan, is not a little bit worse, he has no complicated thoughts, Fang Cai's words, I am afraid that most of them are well-intentioned, I am afraid that Xu Xuan will not be able to follow the teacher and delay the future, but Cheng Fang, who teaches Xu Xuan's knowledge, is not better than the talented master of Xu Xian Academy?
However, he couldn't tell Xu Xianming, so he had to say, "Third brother, you study hard, you don't care about your second brother's affairs."
