Bang bang bang - the dead of night is a good time to sleep, so he was suddenly awakened by this knock on the door, Xu Xun's first reaction was to rub his eyes to look at the sky, and found that it was still dark outside, obviously not dawn, he was suddenly a little dazed. It took him a long time to come back to his senses from the sleepy-eyed haze, and he casually put on a piece of clothing, and pulled his shoes down and walked out.

It was only at this time that he secretly thought that he should not be so stubborn and clear out the girls at night, but send someone in the outer room, otherwise if such a trick came in the winter, let him get up from the warm bed and open the door, it would be too torturous, and the cold wind would have to freeze him to death as soon as the door opened.

"Who's in the middle of the night?"

As soon as Xu Xun opened the door, he saw Ah Bao carrying a lantern, and he couldn't help but be taken aback at this moment. You know, the second door will be closed after nightfall, even if Ah Bao is still young, and he can't wait for him to enter, the little guy can actually come and knock on his door at this time, and the decision is not trivial. Taking a deep breath, he pulled the person in as soon as he asked for his surname.

"Young master, it's Li Qianhu from Beizhen Fusi who is here in person!" Ah Bao directly told the news, and seeing that Xu Xun was really surprised, he lowered his voice and explained, "Li Qianhu didn't bring an entourage, but he was wearing a hood, he went to the door to ask for a meeting, saying that he had something important to find the young master." Fortunately, Uncle Jin was on duty tonight, and when he went out to take a look, he called me up and asked me to come in and report to you, young master. ”

Xu Xun only felt a sigh in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Who knows about his coming?" ”

"Brother Qiao and Brother Liu on the door know that they are often on the door, even if Li Qianhu is wearing a hood, they may be able to recognize it, after all, Li Qianhu has also been here before. There is also Uncle Jin Liu, and then there is Aunt Ying who is in charge of the second gate, and Sister-in-law Xu who guards the door in this courtyard, but Aunt Ying and Sister-in-law Xu should only know that someone is more anxious to find the young master in the middle of the night. As for the others, I didn't bump into them all the way......"

"But your banging on the door is so loud, there will be a reaction in this courtyard."

Xu Xun listened attentively to the movement outside, and sure enough, he heard the sound of talking in the east and west ear rooms, and he couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Ah Bao suddenly realized, he hurriedly raised the lantern and planned to blow out the candle inside, so he waved his hand to stop him, and only when he heard a sound of footsteps, he opened the door. Sure enough, there were two big girls outside who were dressed in clothes and had not combed their hair, and they hurriedly saluted when they saw him. At this time, he said lightly: "It's okay, it's someone outside who is looking for me urgently, you all go back to sleep, just think it's not like this." ”

The girls in the courtyard knew that Xu Xun was saying the same, and the two looked at each other and hurriedly responded, and immediately went back to the ear room on the left and right. At this time, Xu Xun closed the door and asked Ah Bao to help put on his clothes, shoes, socks and belts, and the master and servant went out of the courtyard one after the other.

After nightfall, Bofu only left the bright tile lamps on both sides of the road, and the lights were extinguished everywhere, and there was a feeling of dark shadow longing when walking on it, but the road was so peaceful that there was not even a person who stopped to ask the reason. Knowing that it was Ah Bao who had just come in and alarmed people, and outsiders avoided it, Xu Xun was satisfied, and when he saw an elderly servant woman saluting at the second gate, he nodded lightly when he passed by.

"You don't have to leave the door open."

These short five words made Aunt Ying's heart skip a beat. In the middle of the night, the third watch came to look for the young master, and they always got rid of those people who were close to the young master, and there must be important matters. And what kind of big thing actually asked the young master to go out in the middle of the night, which made it even more terrifying. So, she bowed her head and said yes, but it was not until the two figures in front of her and behind her were all gone, that she hurriedly began to close the door, and the bronze door was latched on, and the large padlock was locked tightly, and she immediately let out a long breath.

In any case, I have to warn those who are close to me not to chew my tongue in this matter!

In the middle of the night, although the tea room had already sent hot water to the old and young generations of the master room for midnight, it could be closed early. As for the kitchen, the stove was also turned off, and the snacks and the like were all cold. In addition, Li Yifeng didn't want to alarm too much at this moment, and when he was sitting in the small flower hall, he didn't care that he didn't even have a mouthful of hot water and a snack, he just waited patiently, and from time to time he thought of the previous interrogation in Beizhen Fusi. He didn't know how long he had to wait, but he finally heard the creak of the door being slammed.

"Lord Xu is here!"

"In the middle of the night, where will you wake up, you should be glad that this is not the middle of winter, otherwise you will have to wait at least an hour in a room that is so cold that it can freeze." After joking, Xu Xun sat down opposite Li Yifeng, knowing that there was Ah Bao guarding outside the door and not worrying, he asked bluntly, "What made you come to me so late?" ”

"Of course it's a big deal!" Li Yifeng habitually tapped the handrail with his fingers, and then said word by word, "When we drank before, didn't you ask me to send someone to follow that Zhang Cai?" Today I learned that someone went to visit Ma Wensheng, so I asked for the surname to follow me personally, who knew that he came out of Mafu, and it actually made me bump into an unbelievable show! Do you know that it was the person who directly installed a Tartar name before, and once intimidated Xu Jing, and later you told me that this person was probably the missing small flag named Jiangshan Fei in Xichang. It's that he actually plans to rob Zhang Cai's Dao! ”

"Robbery? How can it be a robbery? ”

"It's just impossible, that's why it's unbelievable. This guy was very angry, he ate twenty boards, and insisted that he saw that Zhang Cai was rich and planned to rob him, and he would eat me to expose the small flag that he used to be the West Factory, and the head of the criminal department, he immediately died and didn't say a word again. ”

Hearing this, Xu Xun's face couldn't help but become unusually weird: "I said Lao Li, you won't tell me that Jin Yiwei will only use the board to deal with such a die-hard guy?" ”

"Isn't that Lord Ye not allowing us to use those messy methods!" Li Yifeng didn't notice that Xu Xun's name for himself suddenly changed, and he pursed his lips angrily for a while, "This Beizhen Fusi is more righteous than the criminal department by Lord Ye, except for the board whip, even the most usual finger grip stick is not allowed, plus seeing that guy can survive the punishment, his heart is stubborn, and I can't kill people, so I can only take it leisurely and slowly boil him." But I'm not going to boast to you, and in a few days, he'll be sure to come up with something. ”

"Hmm...... It's okay, only this matter must be kept secret, and the rumors must not be leaked. ”

"Hey, I know, Lord Ye used to respect those old adults so much, if I want to see that they are all sanctimonious!"

Xu Xun knew that Li Yifeng was because Liu Jian and others had a plan to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger, and planned to let him Xu Xun and Ye Guang compete for Jinyiwei without time to take care of him, so he hated in his heart, so he said: "Before the matter is clarified, there is no need to be too arbitrary." I know about this, by the way, you are in such a hurry to come to the door, it shouldn't be for such a country, right? ”

"Lord Xu is a person who understands! If Jiang Shanfei committed this matter, it would be okay if it was someone else, but it was Zhang Cai who he wanted to attack. I've heard of this color.,It's good.,But the surname is stubborn.,Just because people impeached him for reversing the election method.,He would rather leave the next selection of Shilang than go home to recuperate.,You say that when you encounter this kind of thing now.,How will he react? I'm afraid that he will send it directly tomorrow, and then there will be a storm that will pour into the sky, and all of it will be out of control. So I invited someone to Beizhen Fusi, and as for persuading him, you are the only one who wants to come out. ”

As for whether there were any other means mixed in the word please, Xu Xun couldn't help but have a headache when he saw that Li Yifeng suddenly returned to that hippie smiling face. However, when he just came out of the house tonight, he was ready to be pulled away, and after shaking his head at this time, he could only sigh and say, "It's all on this, can I still say no?" ”

At night, most of the yamen on both sides of the Thousand Steps Corridor have turned off the lights, even if the officials on duty at night are not sleepless all night, after all, it is really rare to be able to open the city gate at night to report in, so most of them go to Mengzhou Gong at this time. Only the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi on the west side of the Daming Gate is still brightly lit, and there are still people coming in and out from time to time. This habitual situation did not attract much people's attention, after all, the back street of the brocade guard has always been avoided by idlers, and no one wants to mess with it.

At the second moment, one in front and one after two riders turned into the back street of Jinyiwei, and a few people came out immediately in the Fusi of Beizhen, and one by one they led their horses to the inside, and saw that their adults brought one more person back, but they didn't even ask a word. And Xu Xun, who was also wearing a hood, didn't look back at people until he was taken to the front of a room by Li Yifeng.

"It's inside. I'm too lazy to deal with this kind of Confucian who talks about the truth, I'm tired and panicked! Go in by yourself, and I'll keep watch outside." ”

As soon as Xu Xun, who pushed the door in, stepped over the threshold and entered, he heard the man holding the scroll in his hand say without raising his head: "Can you adults say when you will let me go?" Even if that person is a key criminal that Jinyi Wei is pursuing, but he has nothing to do with me, and he has detained me, a court official, until now, your family's courage is really not small! ”

"No matter how bold Li Qianhu is, it is not as bold as Lord Zhang. After being robbed and killed like this, he can still read a book. ”

Xu Xun replied with a smile, and when he saw Zhang Cai raise his head all of a sudden, he showed a surprised expression after recognizing him, so he arched his hand and said: "The matter happened suddenly, and the stakes are very high, so Li Qianhu can only leave Master Zhang and you down first." If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that this case would have been completely poked out early tomorrow morning, right? ”
