On the deck, there was an eerie silence.

The officials and guards of the Third Division were silent, and they didn't dare to speak out to provoke Xu Qi'an. Especially the head arrester of the Criminal Department, just now said that Xu Qi'an's desire to engage in Yiyantang was wishful thinking.

At this time, I only felt that my cheeks were hot, and I suddenly understood the anger and helplessness of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and I hated this kid to the core, but there was nothing I could do about him.

Of course, the most disgraced is Chu Xianglong, as the deputy general of the king of Zhenbei, he holds real power at the border pass, and when he returns to the capital, he also does not need to look at people's faces.

Even if it is the princes of the court, he is not afraid, because the person who can control his life and death and future is the king of Zhenbei. No matter how powerful the princes are, they can't deal with him.

gradually developed a domineering and flamboyant character, until this moment, he was ruthlessly planted under Xu Qi'an's hands.

Chu Xianglong warned himself that the overall situation was important, and at the same time calmed down the grievances and anger in his heart, but he didn't have the face to stay on the deck, looked at Xu Qi'an deeply, and left silently.

He only felt that everyone looked at him with mockery, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.

On the deck, in the cabin, one after another looked at Xu Qi'an, and their eyes quietly changed, from scrutinizing and watching a good show, to awe.

Yinluo's official position is nothing, and there are a lot of officials in the mission who are higher than him, but the power controlled by Xu Yinluo and the imperial order he bears make him a well-deserved host.

If anyone dares to disobey the yang or suppress it with an official position, Chu Xianglong's humiliation today is their example.

The princess was blocked by this group of little hooves, and she couldn't see the faces of everyone on the deck, but listening to the sound was enough.

At first glance, his behavior looks domineering and strong, giving people the feeling of youth and vigor, but in fact, he has long expected that the forbidden army will crowd him........... No, no, I'm confused by the outside, the reason why he was able to suppress Chu Xianglong was because he did something worthy of his heart, so he can be upright, the so-called enlightened people are more helpful, and those who have lost the Tao are less helpful........ The princess has to admit that this is a man with a lot of courage and charisma, but he is too lustful.

With Chu Xianglong's resignation and departure, this turmoil ended here.

Xu Yinluo pacified the forbidden army and walked to the cabin, and the maids who were blocking the entrance scattered one after another, looking at him with a little fear in their eyes.

When passing by with the old aunt, Xu Qi'an threw a wink at her, and she immediately showed a disgusted expression, and turned her face away with disdain.

Sure enough, he's a womanizer......... The princess muttered in her heart.

Her current appearance is indeed not compatible with beauty, and her appearance is ordinary. However, even so, the lewd and lustful Xu Qi'an actually tried to hook up.

Entering the cabin and ascending to the second floor, Xu Qi'an knocked on Yang Yan's door.

"Come in!"

Yang Jinluo, who disdained to participate in the dispute from beginning to end, said lightly.

Xu Qi'an pushed the door and entered, and saw Yang Yan sitting cross-legged on the bed, with two pairs of boots neatly placed next to the bed.

Yang Yan is meticulous in his work, but it is different from Brother Chun's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Xu Qi'an closed the door, walked to the table, poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one go, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter with those female dependents?"

Chu Xianglong escorted the princess to the north, and in order to hide people's eyes, he blended into the mission. His Majesty greeted Duke Wei on this matter, but it was only an oral message, and there was no document to support it. Yang Yan said.

She's really a princess......... Xu Qi'an frowned, he guessed correctly, the female dependent escorted by Chu Xianglong was really the princess of Zhenbei, because of this, he only deterred Chu Xianglong, and did not really expel him.

"Why do you have to be so sneaky when escorting the princess to the north?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Yang Yan shook his head.

There must be something wrong with this....... Xu Qi'an lowered his voice and said, "Boss, tell me about this princess, I feel that she is mysterious." ”

Yang Yan frowned slightly, this question was a little difficult for him, after all, for a warm harbor in the world that is not the abyss that men yearn for, but a martial arts idiot, gossip has no meaning at all.

"I don't know much, I just know that after the Battle of Shanhaiguan that year, the princess was given to King Huai by His Majesty. In the next twenty years, she never left the capital. ”

I know all these things, and I even remember the poem that describes the princess........ Xu Qi'an saw that he couldn't ask any gossip, and he was immediately disappointed.

"You offended Chu Xianglong this time, and after arriving in the north, you had to be harassed, but you also succeeded in establishing your prestige. Along the way, no one will dare to compete with you. ”

Yang Yan continued: "The people of the three divisions are not credible, and they are not positive about the case. ”

It can be seen that when there is no danger, they will investigate the case, and once they encounter danger, they must be timid and retreat, after all, if the errand is not done well, at most they will be punished, which is better than losing their lives......... Xu Qi'an's head:

"I know, it's human nature. ”

Yang Yan didn't persuade anything, nodded, and looked at Xu Qi'an: "Is there anything else, go out if it's okay, don't disturb my cultivation." ”

Boss, you don't mean anything at all, you are the programmed ape in my last life, women take off their pants in front of them, they will only shout: 404

Xu Qi'an left the room half-playfully and half-complaining.

..........

On this day, after dinner, in the dark night, Xu Qi'an, Chen Xiao, and a group of forbidden soldiers sat on the deck to brag and chat.

Xu Qi'an told them about the tax and silver case he cracked, the Sangbo case, the Pingyang County master case, etc., and the forbidden soldiers who listened to it sincerely admired and thought that Xu Qi'an was simply a god.

As the forbidden army in the capital, it was not the first time they had heard of these cases, but they did not know any details. Now I finally know how Xu Yinluo solved the case.

For example, in the tax and silver case, Xu Ningyan, who was still a fast hand in Changle County at the time, was in a state of embarrassment and had a calm heart, and said to Fu Yin: Do you want to solve the case?

Fu Yin replied: Yes.

Xu Ningyan said lightly: Roll it up.

So the file was sent, and he only glanced at it, and then he cracked the tax and silver case that was so anxious about the watchman and the government office.

Another example is the intricate and described Sangbo case, which is destined to go down in history, and the arrest of the criminal department and the government is helpless, and it is in the clouds. Xu Yinluo, oh no, it was still Xu Tonggong at that time, holding the imperial gold medal, and said to the wine bag and rice bag of the criminal department and the government office:

If the Criminal Department can't handle the case, I'll Xu Qi'an handle it, and I'll do what the Criminal Department doesn't dare to do.

The scrap wood of the criminal department lowered their heads in shame.

Xu Yingong is really amazing........ The forbidden soldiers admired him more and more and worshipped him.

"Actually, these are nothing, the most proud deed in my life is the Yunzhou case. ”

Xu Qi'an carried the wine jug in his hand, swept over the lean faces, and said proudly: "On that day, the Yunzhou rebels captured the political envoys, and the lives of the governor and his colleagues hung by a thread.

"At this time, I stood in front of the eight thousand rebels with one sword and one sword, and none of them could enter, and I cut for a whole hour, and I broke dozens of knives, and my body was full of arrows, and none of them could enter. ”

"Eight thousand?" centurion Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "How did I hear that it was 10,000 rebels?"

"I've heard fifteen thousand. ”

"No, no, no, I heard from my brothers in the forbidden army that it was a full 20,000 rebels. ”

The soldiers argued.

........ This, this is too hard to blow, I'm embarrassed. Xu Qi'an coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and said:

"No, no, those are all rumors, based on my number here, there are only eight thousand rebels. ”

Eight thousand is a number that Xu Qi'an thinks is more reasonable, and more than 10,000 is too exaggerated. Sometimes he himself is at a loss as to how many rebels I had killed in the first place.

"It turned out to be eight thousand rebels. ”

The forbidden soldiers suddenly realized that this was the real data, after all, it was Xu Yingong himself.

In the midst of small talk, when the time came to come out and let off steam, Xu Qian clapped his hands and said:

"Arrive in Jiangzhou tomorrow, and further north is the border of Jianzhou, let's rest for a day at Jiangzhou Post Station to replenish supplies. Tomorrow I will give you half a day off. ”

Lord Xu is so nice........ The big-headed soldiers happily went back to the bilge.

In the past few days, they don't have to be stuffy in the bilge, and they clean the toilet frequently, the environment has been greatly improved, and their complexion has improved a lot.

The deck, which was bustling one moment ago, was a little deserted the next, and the moonlight shone like frost and snow on the ship, on the faces of the people, on the river, and the sparkling moonlight shimmered.

"Liar!"

Xu Qi'an, who was carrying a wine jug, heard someone scolding him beside him.

He smiled shamelessly: "You are just jealous of my excellence, how do you know that I am a liar, and you are not in Yunzhou." ”

The old aunt had sharp teeth and snorted, "How do you know that I'm talking about the Yunzhou case?"

Xu Qi'an choked on her, and said angrily: "It's okay if there's still something to do, just get out if it's okay." ”

The old aunt said angrily: "Don't get out, it's not your boat." ”

She was delicate and could not stand the shaking of the ship, and she had not slept well or tasted well these days, and the bags under her eyes came out, and she was very haggard, so she developed the habit of blowing the wind on the deck before going to bed.

happened to see him chatting and farting on the deck with a group of big-headed soldiers, so she could only hide and eavesdrop, and only when the big-headed soldiers were gone did she dare to come out.

Xu Qi'an ignored her, she didn't care about Xu Qi'an, one looked down at the flickering river, and the other looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

When the old aunt is not speaking, there is a quiet beauty, like a begonia flower under the moonlight, blooming alone.

The moonlight shone on her ordinary face, but her eyes were hidden in the shadows cast by her eyelashes, as deep as the sea, and like the purest black gem.

Xu Qi'an took a sip of wine, looked away from her, raised his head and sighed: "This official poem is prosperous, give a poem, you are lucky, you can take my poem to appear in front of people in the future." ”

She scoffed, her face full of disdain, but her ears were honestly pricked up.

Although she really wants to hit or ridicule this man who always makes her angry, in terms of poetry, he is recognized as a poet by Dafeng Rulin, and speaking disrespectfully will only make her appear stupid.

After waiting for a while, I still didn't see him reciting poetry, and the old aunt who was waiting for the masterpiece couldn't help but look back and bumped into a pair of playful eyes.

She turned her head angrily again.

Then, the voice of the fellow who was half sighing and half chanting came to his ears: "The people of today do not see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients." ”

The people of today do not see the ancient times and the moon, but the present month used to be like the ancients......... Her eyes gradually widened, and her mouth was full of thoughts, and the color of amazement was overflowing.

"I finally understand why those readers in the capital are so after your poems. She sighed.

They're not touting me, I don't produce poetry, I'm just a porter of poetry....... Xu Qi'an smiled:

"I have won awards and awards, poetry is innate, I was born with a feeling that my mind is full of masterpieces, and I can easily come to me. ”

This time, the old aunt with an eccentric temper did not hit or refute, and asked, "What about the follow-up?"

I don't remember the follow-up........ Xu Qi'an spread his hands: "I only made this sentence, and there is no one below." ”

She gritted her teeth and said, "I finally understand why so many people hate you." ”

Then there was silence.

The old aunt lay on the guardrail, looking at the microwave rippling river, this posture made her buttocks inevitably slightly cocked, and under the thin spring coat, the two round buttocks were highlighted.

"It's big, it's round, but I can't tell if it's a peach or a full moon.........," Xu Qi'an habitually commented in his heart, and then looked away.

I can't keep looking at him, it seems like he's very obscene.

"I heard you're going to the north to investigate the bloody massacre case?" she asked suddenly.

"Hmm. Xu Qi'an nodded, concise and to the point.

"What kind of case is it? She asked again.

"I don't know for the time being, but I guess it's the barbarians who invaded the border, burned and plundered, and slaughtered thousands of miles, while the king of Zhenbei couldn't defend the city. Xu Qi'an gave his own guess.

"Oh!"

She nodded and said, "If that's the case, aren't you afraid of offending the King of Zhenbei." ”

"I'm afraid. ”

Xu Qi'an said helplessly: "If the case doesn't fall on me, I will turn a blind eye and take care of the things around me." But it's up to me.

"Thinking that maybe it's providence, since it's providence, then I'm going to take a look. ”

She didn't speak, squinted, and enjoyed the cool breeze on the river.

Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "When I took a boat to Yunzhou last year, I encountered some strange things on the way. ”

She suddenly became interested and tilted her head.

"On the way, one of the soldiers came to the deck at night, lay on the guardrail in the same position as you, stared at the water, and then ........"

Xu Qi'an stared at the river, showing a frightened expression.

She also stared nervously at the river, engrossed.

"Then a water ghost came out of the river!" Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

"Huh, nonsense......."

The old aunt's face turned pale, a little scared, and she forced herself to say, "You just want to scare me." ”

Poof!

Suddenly, there was a noise on the surface of the water, and there was a splash.

She screamed and sat on the ground in fright, holding her head and shivering.

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Qi'an laughed heartily, pointed at the old aunt's embarrassed posture, and sneered: "A wine jug can scare you like this." ”

The old aunt got up silently, her face was like frost, and she left without saying a word.

Angry? Xu Qi'an looked at her back and shouted, "Hey, hey, come back and talk a few words, little aunt." ”

..........

At dawn, the official ship slowly moored at the wharf of Butter County, as one of the few counties in Jiangzhou with a wharf, the economic development of Butter County is quite good.

This place is rich in a kind of yellow-orange-orange, crystal clear jade, the color is like butter, named butter jade.

The official ship would anchor at the wharf for a day, and Xu Qi'an sent people to disembark to prepare supplies, and at the same time divided the forbidden army into two groups, one group of the remaining official ships, and the other group into the city. Half a day later, change to another one.

"Take advantage of the time, go to the city after lunch to find the hook bar, and take the watchman colleagues to play, as for Yang Yan, let him stay on the boat.........."

In the morning light, Xu Qi'an thought to himself, and suddenly heard a vomiting sound from the corner of the deck.

Turning her head to look, she saw that it was a peach or a full moon, and the old aunt was lying on the side of the boat, vomiting constantly.

"Little sister-in-law, pregnant?" Xu Qi'an teased, taking out the handkerchief and handing it over.

She ignored it, took out a Xiupa and wiped her mouth, her face was haggard, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked like she hadn't slept all night.

"I saw that you didn't look good yesterday, what's the matter?" asked Xu Qi'an.

The little sister-in-law glared at him and shook her hips back to the cabin.

She hadn't slept all night in fear last night, and she always felt that there were terrible eyes staring outside the flying bed curtain, or whether a hand would stick out from under the bed, or whether there would be a head hanging from the papier-mâché window.........

Rolling up the futon, covering his head, he didn't dare to sleep, and he had to poke his head out from time to time to observe the room.

I didn't sleep all night, coupled with the bump of the hull, the exhaustion that had accumulated for days suddenly exploded, with headaches, vomiting, and uncomfortable tightness.

It's all this kid's fault.

Ignore me, forget it, I'm afraid you'll delay me from listening to the music......... Xu Qi'an muttered, calling friends and getting off the boat.

.........
