Chapter 105: Xu Ruixu: Save Big Brother No Matter What

After the people left, Yang Yan frowned tightly, sitting on the edge of the case, receiving the tea handed by Wei Yuan, half a day without taking a sip.

Nangong Qianrou rolled her eyes and asked for him, “Righteous Father, do you really want to kill that kid?”

Yang Yan immediately looked at Wei Yuan.

“Is there anything wrong with my punishment.” Wei Yuan asked rhetorically.

Nangong Qianwei and Yang Yan shook their heads at the same time, and the former smiled playfully, “Right is right, just righteous father is willing to kill him?”

Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and lamented, “I once said that he is a born martial artist, and that spirit is rare.”

A sword cut the Silver Gong of the God Refining Realm into serious injuries, how long had he only stepped into the Qi Practicing Realm?

Wei Yuan’s smile held admiration and more satisfaction.

…..

Springfields Hall.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao hung their heads and followed Li Yuchun back, and Chun was incredibly silent on the way.

He had waited downstairs earlier, waiting for the outcome of the process, and had waited for the news that Xu Qi’an was waist-deep in seven days.

Without a word, Li Yuchun returned with two of his men.

“Drink with me for a while, I know you two have a private stash and sneak drinks while on duty.”

No emotions could be heard in Li Yuchun’s voice, which was frighteningly calm.

Song Tingfeng opened his mouth and spat out two words, “Good.”

Li Yuchun is an old-fashioned paranoid person, familiar with the silver gongs said that he was sticking to the rules, not familiar with the silver gongs made fun of him for not knowing how to adapt.

But familiar or not, no one in the Yamen really looked down on him; on the contrary, they all admired him, even though they wouldn’t say so with their mouths.

Li Yuchun’s curmudgeonliness manifested itself in various aspects, such as never drinking alcohol while on duty.

Song Tingfeng fetched his own stolen stash of wine from the side hall, three porcelain bowls, one of which was originally Xu Qi’an’s.

Li Yuchun was not a fast drinker, but one bowl after another, during which he did not speak.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao drank along in silence.

A jar of wine was quickly finished, and Li Yuchun took advantage of his drink and said, ”I know that Wei Gong has his difficulties, and Xu Qi’an did do wrong.

“What’s wrong with insulting a criminal’s wife, the crime is not punishable by death. He’s an idiot who almost cut someone to death, and the cut was a silver gong.”

Li Yuchun opened the box, rambling: “I thought I was stupid enough, I did not expect this guy is even more stupid than me, I should have known not to accept him, disturbing.

“What can Wei Gong do? Even if his qualifications …. Even if his qualifications are better, the matter has become so big that the whole government office is watching, so it is hard to be openly biased? Then where is the prestige of Wei Gong. It takes years to build up a reputation, but it only takes a moment to destroy it. If you are going to favor Xu Qi’an, who will obey Wei Gong in the future?

“Well, now one dismissed, one cut off at the waist, and dealt with impartially, hey, hey, hey.

“For a long time to come, the people in the Yamen will be regulated, Xu Qi’an’s death was not unjust, it was worth it.”

Li Yuchun returned the bowl to Song Tingfeng and scolded, “What a broken bowl, the blue and white flowers are not even symmetrical.”

Song Tingfeng took a closer look, and realized that he had been drinking for more than half a year in the bowl, and the bowl was really asymmetrical in the blue and white.

After the wine was finished and he was not in the mood to continue chatting, he and Zhu Guangxiao muffled their way back to the side hall.

Inside the quiet Spring Breeze Hall, Li Yuchun sat withered for a long time, slowly got up, walked to the corner, picked up the chicken feather duster and wiped every place inside the hall that was prone to accumulating dust.

Repeat the process of squaring up books, vases, tables and chairs so that they are neat and symmetrical.

Then he took off his belt plate and saber, and stripped off the uniform of the night watchman.

Uniforms folded neatly, resting on his saber and waist plate, Li Yuchun held them and walked out of the Spring Wind Hall.

He traveled all the way to the Haoqi Building.

Along the way, he attracted the attention of many, many gongs, pointing and whispering at him.

Among these people, there were those who had heard of Xu Qi’an’s sword beheading of Zhu Chengcheng Castle, and there were those who knew nothing about it and were curious to eat their melon.

“What’s going on?”

“Haven’t you heard, Zhu Yinluo was almost cut down by a gong, and the man who cut him down was Xu Qi’an, mumble, Li Yinluo’s henchman.”

“What does Li Yinluo want?”

“I don’t know, follow it up and see.”

Three or five, seven or eight …. The night watchmen following Li Yuchun gradually increased, forming a sizeable crowd.

All the way to the Haoqi Building.

Li Yuchun stopped in his tracks at the watchful yet warning eyes of the guards downstairs, his hands cupped around his uniform, belt plate, and saber, oblivious to the tailgaters behind him.

“My humble servant, Li Yuchun, joined the Yamen in the 20th year of Yuanjing, and has always abided by his duties and responsibilities. With the belief of purging corrupt officials and serving the country as the goal.” Li Yuchun’s voice was loud and clear:

“Sixteen years of conscientiousness, not malfeasance and violation of the law; not accepting bribes; not oppression of the good and the good. Originally thought a passionate blood, can change the sky clear.

“However, sixteen years, witnessed many colleagues, oppression of the people, blackmail merchants. Every time you raid the house, you will be coveted silver and property, rape and adultery of female family members of the offender, it is tolerable.

“The heart can not how to enforce the law, how can you correct people if you are not correct. Today Li Yuchun can not bear it, so please resign and go, can also behead me.”

After saying the last sentence, he struggled to throw his uniform, saber, and belt plate to the ground and discarded them as if they were his own in the jaw-dropping eyes of the watchmen around him.

Li Yuchun, who hit Wei Yuan’s face in public at the Haoqi Building, turned around and left, and no one stopped the dozens of watchmen and no one made a sound.

“Is this…should we stop it?” Someone asked in a whisper.

The surrounding watchmen stared at him coldly.

…..

Xu Qi’an in his prison uniform sat in the jail cell of the night watchman’s yamen, his back against the wall, sniffing at the damp, putrid odor unique to the cell.

“Three times in the palace, in my last life I was a police officer, and in this life I’ve become a cell regular.” Xu Qi’an laughed to himself, sighing with a sigh of impermanence of fate.

The cell was silent, with occasional curses from the inmates next door, most of them usually remaining silent.

The vast majority of the inmates locked up here are death row inmates and are disillusioned. At first they would cry out and curse, but after being taken out for a friendly chat by the jailer guarding the cell, they knew how to behave very well.

It also teaches the importance of being quiet in public.

No one wants to die with inhumane torture.

Xu Qi’an closed his eyes and pondered whether he had any chance of surviving.

“The great scholars of the Cloud Deer Academy might come and make a scene, but they are unofficial white bodies, and going official won’t work. Physical likewise won’t work, after all, this is the night watchman’s yamen.”

“The warlocks of the Heavenly Supervisor will definitely try to save me, but unless the Supervisor Zheng steps in, he can’t save me, right? And for the hallowed Supervisor Zheng to step in, my status isn’t enough …. Xu Qi’an ah Xu Qi’an, have you forgotten the coldness of society after you tasted warmth at Floating Fragrance? After dragging on for two months you still haven’t hooked Chu Caiwei into bed.”

“The earth book shards were also searched, otherwise I could have tried to get Number One to save me, he/she is not sure if he/she has enough curiosity …..”

With that thought he fell asleep, and when he awoke the cell was silent, and outside the small window there was a deep, dark night.

Sleep made up for his deficit of physical strength from performing the Heaven and Earth Slash, at the cost of hunger.

Borrowing the dim oil lamp in the passageway, Xu Qi’an saw a bowl of white rice by the fence, and two fat-headed rats, eating it with gusto.

“F*ck, motherf*cking Shukberta, stealing my food.”

Xu Qi’an cursed angrily.

There was no food left to eat, so he had to sit on his knees and exhale his chi.

I don’t know how long it took, but it was dawn.

Footsteps came down the shadowy passage, and two jailers came forward and opened the door of the cell.

Xu Qi’an opened his eyes.

“Come out.” The jailer droned.

Xu Qi’an, who was wearing handcuffs and shackles, was brought to the torture room by the jailers.

A beam of sunlight penetrated through the air holes in the walls, dispelling the darkness of the torture chamber, but not the chill of the place.

At the interrogation table in the torture room sat two young men. One had phoenix eyes and willow leaf eyebrows, with delicate features. The other had red lips and white teeth, handsome and peerless.

The two rabbits walk along the ground, so I can’t tell if I’m male or female.

Nangong Qianlou sneered, “Greasy head.”

He disliked the attitude of this reader, from the time he entered the courthouse and came here, he always held his head high, held out his chest, and looked at people not with his eyes, but with his nose.

This kind of arrogance was annoying for no reason, a virtue with the other readers of the Cloud Deer Academy, and the same with the white clothes of the Szetian Supervisor.

Xu New Year slanted a glance at him and faintly said, “Only women and small people are hard to raise.”

“Who are you calling a woman?” Nangong Qianlou laughed, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

“It is I who is being abrupt.” Xu New Year arched his hand and bowed, “Dare I ask the girl’s name?”

“….” Nangong Qianlou wanted to kill someone.

Xu New Year, whose poisonous tongue skill was at full capacity, sneered a bit and reared his head.

Xu Qi’an, who had seen this scene from the doorway and heard the conversation between the two, gave his little old brother a cold sweat.

He said Ru Lao ah, this great beauty is a high grade martial artist, you a small scholar of the eighth grade, you should know how to be able to bend and stretch.

Nangong Qianlou turned her head sideways, glared at Xu Qi’an, and got up, “One incense stick of time.”

After that, he left.

Xu Xinxin stared at his cousin, silent.

“Why is Resignation here, aren’t you studying at the academy.” Xu Qi’an said.

“Last night, one of your peers came to the mansion with a message telling what had happened to you. Father left the capital overnight last night and rushed to Yunlu Academy to inform me.” Xu New Year exhaled a mouthful of cloudy air:

“I went back to my house last night and waited until dawn, when the gates of the inner city opened, to come in.”

He took a handwritten letter from his teacher and his status as a lifer before he learned that he was allowed to visit the prison.

“Everyone in the family is worried about you, and Mother hasn’t slept all night.” Xu New Year said.

Xu Qi’an nodded.

“Suzume was worried about you too, and only had a bowl of porridge in the morning.”

“It’s hard for her.” Xu Qi’an was touched.

Xu New Year nodded, agreeing with his cousin and continued, “Teacher’s suggestion was for me to beg the Eldest Princess, she might be able to save you. As for Teacher, they …. Wei Yuan does not have a good relationship with the academy.”

Xu Qi’an hesitantly said, “Resignation, don’t you blame big brother?”

Xu New Year said in a deep voice, “Big brother didn’t learn his craft well enough to split that scumbag.”

Xu Qi An laughed loudly, “This is what a reader is ….” Laughing, he fell silent and said softly, “I’m sorry.”

Xu Xinxin was silent.

The torture chamber fell silent, neither brother speaking.

After a long time, Xu Rui Lao sighed, “I’ll get you out.”

Xu Qi’an nodded, pretending that he wasn’t touched, and said, “Since you’re here, do one thing for big brother. Have you brought silver with you for your resignation?”

“Naturally brought it.” Xu Xinxin replied.

What’s the point of visiting a jail without money?

“Well, you go to the jailer’s head and say that you want to retrieve one of my items, if it is still there. It’s a small jade mirror, so take the mirror, go to the East City’s Sanatorium and find a monk, and speak to him: ask him to pass on the message that Number Three is being held in the night watchman’s dungeon, and ask for help. Xu Qi’an!”

Once the earth book shard is recognized, no one else can log in to chat, so the Sixth Transmission is needed.

I believe the smart Number One saw the transmission and knew what to do. Because in the earth book chat group, in the capital city, and with power, there was only Number One.

One still owes him a debt.

Of course, Number One might see death, but that’s another story.

In addition, allowing Xu Erlang to fetch the fragment of the Earth Book was a test for Xu Qi’an against Wei Yuan.

Test him to see if he really has a murderous intent on himself.

Xu New Year stared at him for a moment and asked, “What if there isn’t?”

“Then forget it.”

After witnessing his cousin being led into the shadowy passageway, Xu New Year left the torture room and found the prison head, handing over thirty taels of silver tickets in a dignified manner, saying, “I need to retrieve one of my cousin’s items.”

Of course Jailbait has no problem with it. Money is good for everything.

Immediately, he led Xu Xinxin to the storehouse and took out a parcel containing the things stripped from Xu Qi’an’s body.

“The gongs, belt plates, sabers, and uniforms can’t be taken away.” The jailer said.

These are the things that are in the office of the night watchman.

Xu New Year briefly fumbled around and touched a compact mirror, made of jade, with shallow lines outlining the surface of the mirror in strange patterns such as bows and crossbows and silver bills.
