Chapter 156: The Longest Dike is Destroyed by an Ant Hole

Xu Qi’an was taken aback, thinking, “When have I ever cheated? If I really want to talk about deception, it would be the persona of the Cloud Deer Academy.

Could it be that my persona has collapsed without me realizing it, it doesn’t make sense ah, and it shouldn’t be number five to say this, it would only make sense for number one or number six to make the accusation. How can it not be the turn of a chick far away from the southern border to speak.

He held the fragment of the earth book and pondered without replying, while the other members of the Heaven and Earth Association did not speak either, waiting to see how things would unfold.

Number Three is a liar? He is the one who picked up the silver, how does number five know about this matter, the two of them did not communicate too much in the process of passing the book, that is to say, number five is from a certain speech in the past, pulling out the brokenness of number three, no, if there is any brokenness it is also the other people who perceive it, not the number five …… number four thought so.

Three is good natured, a warm hearted good man, everyone has secrets, and Five is such a stupid woman …… Two thought so.

Number three keeps picking up silver, keeps picking up silver …. Monk Hengyuan didn’t know what expression to make for a moment.

Number One smiled without saying a word, peering silently at the screen.

At this moment, the Golden Lotus Taoist Master, lazily lying on the ridge of the roof sunbathing, cat eyes comfortably closed.

No. 5 didn’t let people wait too long, and she harshly accused No. 3 of speaking insincerely: [The friend you said was always picking up money is you yourself, right? I asked …. My information is correct.]

Xu Qi’an: “….”

[V: Nah nah nah, there’s nothing to say.]

Ning is also an old secondary? Xu Qi’an bristled, relieved that yes, he was lying. However this kind of thing cheating or not cheating was irrelevant.

For example, Song Tingfeng often said, I have a friend who is not well ….

Everyone knows it’s the man himself, but does anyone blame him for lying?

Sure enough, no one in the Earth Book chat group responded to number five, everyone had their own ideas.

I really envy the third ah, every day out can pick up money …. Old mom is almost unable to pay the army salary …. Number two thought from the bottom of his heart.

So the one who picks up money every day is number three, well, the poor monk suspected it at first …. If the poor monk can pick up money every day, he can save more widows and orphans …. Number Six was envious.

The one who picks up the silver is the 3rd principal, what kind of person can pick up silver so perversely? I don’t remember that the Confucian system of Yunlu Academy has this kind of divinity ….. No. 4 was shocked in his heart and thought of some kind of possibility, and hurriedly transmitted a message: [No. 3, when did this phenomenon occur?

Xu Qi’an hesitated slightly and replied, [About a month or so ago.]

He made the time deliberately short, lest someone in the future, based on this, find out that he was abnormal after the tax and silver case was over.

…. The Fourth’s heart leaped violently, for he had a guess, and that guess was so preposterous and bold that it sent an electric current swimming through his body like a shiver.

More than a month ago, if memory serves me correctly, the clear qi rushing vision of Cloud Deer Academy also happened more than a month ago. At that time, Number Three had not yet joined the Tiandi Association, and Daoist Master Golden Lotus had solemnly commissioned Number One to investigate within the Tiandi Association.

It was well known that number three was a scholar from the Confucian Academy, and there was one thing that was extremely unusual, and that was that number three was not very strong, yet he had received too many resources tilted in his favor, and knew too many secrets that were only known to the higher echelons of the Cloud Deer Academy. This was very unreasonable. Number Four, as a former scholar, had long since detected this hint of wrongness, not questioning Number Three’s identity in the Cloud Deer Academy, but feeling that his treatment was somewhat exaggerated.

But what if number three had something to do with the Cloud Deer Academy’s Qing Qi Charge? Wouldn’t it make sense then to get the attention of the Yunlu Academy’s senior management?

But what connection exists between picking up silver and clearing the air and rushing to the sky …. Number four didn’t figure it out.

“It seems like I have to take the time to go back to the capital and pay a visit to Dean Zhao Shou.” The Fourth secretly decided in his heart to hurry back to the capital before the New Year’s Eve.

Thinking of this, No. 4, who was self-conscious of his knowledge of No. 3’s secrets, the corners of his mouth quirked up slightly as he transmitted the message, [Interesting, I’ve underestimated No. 3 before, it seems like I have to reassess your value and potential.]

Number four knows the reason why number three picks up silver frequently? And the reason behind this involves some major secrets …. Otherwise, Number Four wouldn’t have made this comment …. Apart from Number Five, everyone else tasted something wrong from Number Four’s words.

Seeing that the crowd was almost done chatting, Xu Qi’an narrowed his eyes, using his fingers as a substitute for a pen, and passed on the letter: [Heh, I have a doubt, number five, how did you know that the one who picked up the silver was me?

With Five’s intelligence, it couldn’t have been a scam on him, which meant she really did know why she picked up the silver, or at least some inside knowledge.

This was exactly what Xu Qi’an desperately wanted to know, he had always been concerned about his eccentric luck.

[V: I can’t tell, I promised …. others, not to divulge it to anyone, not even you.]

Number five refused dryly.

[III: Equivalent exchange.]

[V: No exchanges, be honest.]

This stupid girl, believe it or not I pull your blacklist, slag you once in the future, and then raise your pants and do not recognize people …. Xu Qi’an spat in his heart.

On second thought, this operator of the Golden Lotus Daoist has not yet recovered from his injuries and is unable to open the private chat function, so now is really not a good time to ask.

When he was able to chat privately in the future, he would have a good chat with Five, the silly girl from the southern border, about life and ideals. There was still a lot of room to maneuver.

…..

The Imperial Household, a small court.

Wearing a Taoist robe, Emperor Yuan Jing sat high at the top, listening to the prefect Chen Hanguang’s report, for the heads of people rolling in the vegetable market, not angry, not happy, not shocked.

“The positions of Secretary of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household are given to the minister, what do you all think ah.” Emperor Yuan Jing mentioned it seemingly casually.

Immediately, some ministers came out and recommended their own people. Yuan Jing Di expressionlessly watched the officials argue vehemently, for the empty two major positions of real power, hate to beat each other’s dog brains out.

Even Wei Yuan and Chief Minister Wang Zhenwen, two powerful bigwigs, inevitably went down.

Seeing that the conflict was getting more and more heated, a few of the short-tempered ministers had already rolled up their sleeves, and Emperor Yuan Jing knocked on the table to stop it at the right time.

“Shang Aiqing, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Appointments, what is your suggestion?”

Shang Xian stepped out, taking advantage of the low head to bow, the afterglow glanced at the chief minister Wang Wenzhen, see the latter micro imperceptible shake his head, then said:

“I am terrified that I have no candidate for the moment, so please show me your majesty.”

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded in satisfaction, “This matter will be discussed again.”

Sure enough …. The ministers slowly exhaled a breath in their hearts and looked at each other with hatred.

At this time, Wei Yuan stepped out and said aloud, “Your Majesty, the micro-minister has a request.”

After Emperor Yuan Jing nodded, Wei Yuan said, “Cauldron Xu Qi’an has made great achievements in the case of County Princess Pingyang, please reward him, Your Majesty.”

The corresponding zhangbiao, he has already submitted yesterday to the inner court.

Emperor Yuan Jing is obviously aware of the case, but also know the gong Xu Qi’an in which the credit, whether it is to reopen the case of Pingyang County Princess, or to discover the traces of the monk Heng Hui, and then find out the corpse of Pingyang County Princess, the gong is not to be credited.

But Emperor Yuan Jing remained a little hesitant, he didn’t like that gong, there was no reason for it, this son gave him a very disjointed and uncomfortable feeling.

Disgusted from the bottom of my heart.

When he saw him in the Imperial City that day, he saw him chopping up the ground with a single blade, frightening the Spirit Dragon so much that it didn’t dare to lean forward for half a second. At that moment, Emperor Yuan Jing’s heart loathed him uncontrollably.

Wei Yuan was about to speak when Minister Sun of the Ministry of Justice suddenly blurted out, “Your Majesty, the micro-minister has a report.”

He strides out of the column, bowed, righteously said: “I was ordered to investigate the case of the Sangpo, for days and days, do not dare to slow down a moment. I have verified that the Secretary of the Da Lisi, Chang Yan, colluded with the demon race and blew up the Sangpo. I ask Your Majesty to dismiss this fellow and hand him over to my humble servant for a thorough investigation.”

The Secretary of the Da Lisi, Chang Yan, narrowed his eyes and looked at Shangshu Sun.

He is one of the core members of the Qi Party, and because of the gunpowder matter, another core member of the Qi Party, the Minister of Industry, has already walked the tightrope once.

The Minister of Public Works snorted coldly and stepped forward, “Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice is climbing over the slander and wantonly planting evidence against Lord Chang. I think the Minister of Rites is equally suspect.”

The Minister of Rites immediately stepped forward and shouted, “I am unjustly accused.”

Wei Yuan sighed, somewhat disappointed. Sure enough, he heard Emperor Yuan Jing say, “The Sang Po case is not over, and ordered Tongluo Xu Qi’an to continue to handle the case, and most of the half-month period has passed. If I can’t find out what’s going on, I will still behead him.”

“Your Majesty!” Wei Yuan’s brows jumped as he made a bow, “Even though Xu Qi’an lost the case, he was still meritorious in the case of County Princess Pingyang. How can this be a death sentence?”

The ministers could not help but look at Wei Yuan, each with different emotions in their eyes, some gloating, some surprised, and some pleased.

Sun Shangshu, who is a member of the Prime Minister Wang’s party, ostensibly attacked the Secretary of the Da Lisi, and secretly gave Wei Yuan a cold arrow as well. As long as the dispute over the Sangpo case continues, that tongluo, who is the organizing official of the night watchman’s yamen, will not be able to stay out of it. Being dragged back into the water.

Similarly, the Secretary of the Da Lisi will also top the hat of the suspect, the case is not solved, do not want to take off. Normally it’s nothing, during the Beijing investigation, this kind of big stain, casually can be magnified.

At that time within the eight laws, they can tell him to roll up and roll people, or not to help, but also to drive down from the position of Shangshu.

However, the Minister of Rites, who is also a member of the King’s party, is also implicated, and the limit is one for two, no less.

Was Wei Yuan overly concerned about a small gong? The ministers keenly captured this.

Thus, the operation of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs Sun Shangshu, more and more agreeable. Although the civil officials have a great struggle, Wei Yuan as the number one enemy of the civil official group, but anything that can make Wei Yuan furious, they are happy to do.

“I am tired, retire.” Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand.

The ministers bowed in unison, orderly exit the imperial study, the ministers are clearly separated from each other to leave, Fang just stepped out of the noon gate, the atmosphere immediately turned upside down.

The saber-rattling disappeared, as if it had been a big play, and finally the end came as a relief.

Hostile is still hostile, just not as over the top as it was shown in the Royal Court.

Hair white, eyebrows austere Wang Shoufu, a scarlet robe, face with a light smile to meet Wei Yuan, “Wei Gong seems to be quite concerned about that small gong ah, skillfully set up a great achievement, is indeed a rare talent.”

Wei Yuan laughed gently, “It’s a pity that he won’t be a human being and offended someone who shouldn’t be offended.”

Chief Minister Wang was taken aback, “Why did Duke Wei come up with this ah, we for the gods of the earth and grain of the talent, should be cared for, how can we let him die in the middle of the day. If Duke Wei can’t protect him, let this official do it for him.”

Wei Yuan gave him a deep look, his expression still mild, his joy and anger not showing, “Don’t bother Lord Chief Minister.”

….

Wei Yuan returned to the government office by carriage and summoned the officials, “Have Xu Qi’an come to see me.”

At that time, Xu Qi’an was in the martial arts arena, sparring with Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng to sharpen his sword skills.

“Old Song, you haven’t been to the Department of Education recently? The breath is much longer than usual.” Xu Qi’an joked as he waved off the mixed doubles of his two colleagues.

“He basically feeds his monthly salary to the women in the Church Department, and doesn’t know how to exercise moderation.” Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice: “Ning Banquet, today’s him is the future you, be warned.”

Of the three young men, Zhu Guangxiao, who buries his head in the sand, is the most abstinent, not so much in terms of abstinence, but in terms of wanting to save up for a wife.

Xu Qi’an and Song Tingfeng love Shen Gongbao the most. The former is keen on white whoring and the latter is a loose cannon.

After the Refined Essence Realm, the martial artist does not need to abstain from sex, but ultimately, he must exercise restraint, the dike of a thousand miles is destroyed by an anthill, and the body of a hundred battles is lost in a cave.

At that moment, a black-clothed official hurriedly ran in, paused at the edge of the martial arts arena, and raised his voice, “Lord Xu, Duke Wei is summoned.”
