Chapter 823: Bounty Order

The sky had just dawned, the air was mixed with last night’s slight coolness, the street outside the Xu Mansion was wet, the green stone slabs were permeable with dew.

Vegetable farmers picking fresh fruits and vegetables passed by and saw the crowd surrounding the outside of the Xu Mansion, so they went over to watch the fun.

“What’s going on, who are these three and why are they hanging outside Xu Yinluo’s residence?”

Vegetable farmers often sell vegetables in this area and were taken aback.

“Can’t you see, the one on the right is written plainly, Heavenly Sect Saint Son Li Ling Su.”

“Thin-skinned people, probably started a mess and were punished by Xu Yinluo.”

“Who are the other two, unworthy disciples? I haven’t heard that Xu Yinluo has disciples.”

“It’s the same with or without a disciple, can’t you see it says Unworthy Disciple.”

Miao Youfang listened to the chatter not far away and said in exasperation:

“Why should I hang with you two scum.”

The three of them had their meridians and Yuan Shen sealed, and they were poisoned with soreness and weakness, so they could only be hung like this and humiliated.

Li Ling Su sighed:

“You know enough, you two one did not show up, one did not write his name, the dog thief surnamed Xu is considered to give you two face.

“Alas, it is true that while I loathe the dog thief, the dog thief also loathes me, like repels like, half right. Huh, Brother Yang, why don’t you say anything?”

Yang Qianyi didn’t respond.

Brother Yang is a person who wants to save face and can t stand this blow ………. Li Lingsu thought to himself.

At this time, one of the people pointed at Yang Qianyue and said:

“This guy is wearing a hood, and by the way he’s dressed, he’s a warlock from the Division, I don’t know what his name is.”

The sidekick said:

“Knock his hat off and see.”

“No, don’t be like this ……..” Yang Qianyue, who was in silence, suddenly pulled up her voice.

Then he paused for a moment and spoke in a deep voice:

“Holding the bright moon in my hand and picking the stars, I do not change my name and I do not change my name, the Heavenly Commissioner Sun Xuanji is also!”

Sun Xuanji? The first loser of the Dafeng …….. The people on the sidelines silently took note.

………..

Xu Mansion, inner hall.

Auntie woke up early in the morning, and under Green E’s service, she put on her makeup and dressed up before heading to the inner hall for her meal.

Walking through the corridor, the thumping sound of knocking wood came from the distance, it was the early riser’s servants repairing the house, the Xu Mansion was expanded, and after a few mansions in the surrounding area were bought, the Xu Mansion’s footprint today was comparable to that of a prince’s or nobleman’s mansion.

On either side of the porch are exquisitely constructed flower gardens.

Entering the inner hall, Auntie saw swept a glance, only to see Lina and Suzume sitting at the round table, intently dealing with a mountain of steamed buns, doughnuts, meat buns, and a large bucket of soybean milk.

The amount of food has increased again, and two people have to eat the amount of twenty people ……… Even though the Xu House is already rich and wealthy, the aunt, who is used to being thrifty and frugal, saw this scene, and her heart still hurts uncontrollably.

Uncle Xu had to be on duty and had already left the house a long time ago.

The aunt asked as she sat down and took a few sips of soy milk:

“Why haven’t Ling Yue and sister come yet? Green E, go check.”

As for the newlyweds, she had never thought of having the princess come to toast the tea because there was no such rule.

Although because of her nephew, the princess does not have so many privileges in the Xu family, but after all, the princess is a princess, the aunt in the governance of the family, has always believed in doing nothing.

When I think of this, I can’t help but read what that monkey read yesterday, Wang Simu’s heart.

This future daughter-in-law, actually belittling her so much.

Auntie was so angry last night that she didn’t sleep half the night.

Green E turned to leave, and in a few moments, returned with small steps, saying:

“Eldest Miss said that she was not feeling well and would not come out to eat, and instructed the slave girl to bring the morning meal into the room. Aunt Mu also said the same thing.”

“Hmph, don’t come out or don’t eat.” The aunt snapped and put down her chopsticks, took a breath, picked them up again, and said:

“Green E, send them over.”

Ling Yue’s heart is so deep and full of bellyaching; Wang Simu thinks so badly of his old lady; this sister of mine who is married to her really misses Ning Banquet, although there are many women who miss him, and I, as an aunt, am already used to it, but how old is my sister?

If she really hooked up with Ning Yan, wouldn’t she still have to call me aunt? Ridiculous! Luckily, she’s of mediocre appearance, so Ning Banquet definitely won’t be able to look at her.

As slow as she was, her aunt was no fool, and she pinched her brow with a headache.

What’s all this about!

………..

The night watchman’s office.

The eaves and corners are flying, and each floor has a lookout tower of the Haoqi Building, and two birds are grasping on the railing, twittering and chirping, and the dark eyes are reflecting the figure of the calmly seated green clothes.

is leisurely drinking tea.

Thud …….. In the sound of footsteps ascending the stairs, Nangong Qianrou entered the tea room.

Two birds on the railing lifted their wings in surprise and disappeared into the blue dome of the sky.

“When you can control your own baleful aura, there will be hope for the Third Grade.”

Wei Yuan flipped open a teacup, poured Xu Ningyan’s filial piety of the very best flower tea, and gestured for Nangong Qianru to take a seat.

Nangong Qianlou had long been at the peak of the Fourth Grade, but stepping into the Transcendent could be considered a long way off.

“Righteous Father, the party heard something.”

Nangong Qianlou took a sip of tea, and there were a few rare moments of teasing between her eyebrows:

“It has to do with yesterday’s cave-in, Righteous Father really knows what to expect.”

To anticipate things like God? Wei Yuan looked at him, unmoving and smiling gently as always.

Nangong Qianlou whispered:

“After we left, the group swarmed the wedding room, ready to make a scene.”

Wei Yuan nodded:

“Expectedly, Yang Qianyi and Li Lingsu seem to be extremely “cynical” about Ning Yan, but Xu Ning Yan isn’t a light that can’t be saved either. But ………”

But with his little trick, he’s just bullying the bystanders.

Xu Ning Banquet was brought out by him, what that boy’s mind is playing, he is as clear as a flame, and will definitely not fall into the trap.

Wei Yuan didn’t say these words out loud, he had always been an introverted wise man.

Nangong Qianlou raised her eyebrows:

“That’s the reasoning.

“Last night, when making trouble in the bridal chamber, Xu Ning Banquet found a monkey demon, it is said to have cultivated the Buddhist his heart pass to an extremely profound realm, able to see through the hearts of the people, even if transcendentally strong, but also can not be spared ………”

Nangong Qianru told Wei Yuan in detail what happened last night.

Wei Yuan wore a smile on his face and did not move, but the more he listened inwardly, the heavier he became.

After saying that, Nangong Qianlou admired it:

“Righteous father, did you already know that Xu Ningyan had left a backhand, so you took us out of this place of wrongdoing that is the Xu Mansion last night after the banquet.”

Being able to see through the hearts of people, transcendent powerhouses are not spared ………. Wei Yuan was austere in his heart and wore a smile on his face.

Such a calm demeanor made Nangong Qianruo more and more certain of her suspicions.

“How did you know?” Wei Yuan asked.

“Xu Qi’an’s two followers said it, and it’s already spread all over the Yamen today.” Nangong Qianlou replied.

Wei Yuan let out a “hmm”:

“Go do something.”

Waiting for Nangong Qianlou to retreat, Wei Yuan gently exhaled a breath, palpitating, finished the cup of flower tea, and then heard the sound of “thump” footsteps coming from the stairs.

This time it was a python-robed eunuch who came in.

“The slave girl has met Lord Wei.”

The python-robed eunuch saluted and then said:

“His Majesty had two white apes captured in the South Garden this morning, and ordered the slave girl to come and notify Duke Wei that he will enter the palace for lunch to enjoy the monkey brains.”

The Southern Garden was a royal hunting ground.

It can make Huaiqing angry to this ……… Wei Yuan slowly nodded his head:

“Yes!”

……….

Szeto.

Yuan Guifa lay on his back by the window, vigilantly watching the people coming and going downstairs.

“That man has been hovering outside the Stargazer’s building for a while now.”

Protector Yuan turned his head and looked at Sun Xuanji.

Then, he spoke Sun Xuanji’s mind as if he were asking himself a question:

“That’s a freighter, of course he’s hovering. Hungry.”

Protector Yuan nodded and continued to vigilantly observe every move in the outside world.

A moment later, he turned his head to look at Sun Xuanji again:

“I always feel that outside the Stargazer’s House, there are people lurking everywhere who want to assassinate me.”

Sun Xuanji shook his head.

“With Xu Ningyan and I covering you, no one will assassinate you.” Protector Yuan spoke Sun Xuanji’s mind, but it didn’t give him a sense of security.

“What if it’s a warlock from the Stargazer’s House.” Protector Yuan said.

He offended Yang Qianyi, the third disciple of the Supervisor, and Song Qing, the fourth disciple.

“Stay in my room and don’t go out, and don’t eat what the warlock in the building gives you.” Protector Yuan finished reading and nodded slightly, “Good! This is more stable.”

He looked out the window again for a while, not quite reassuringly:

“Is it true that no one will assassinate me?”

“No way!” Sun Xuanji expressed his heart silently.

At that moment, a knock on the door came, and Protector Yuan was instantly alert as if he was facing an enemy.

Sun Xuanji waved his sleeve, leaving the door of the room open.

It was Song Qing who knocked on the door, holding a notice.

He took a pitying look at Protector Yuan and said:

“Today someone posted notices all over the city offering a reward for the ape demon beside Sun Xuanji, 1,000 taels for each limb, 3,000 taels for the tongue, and 10,000 taels for the monkey brain.”

………. Protector Yuan froze in place, like a lifeless paper monkey.

It froze and looked at Sun Xuanji, its thick lips trembling:

“I want to go back to the southern border!”

…………

Early in the morning, Nocturne wakes up to find herself sleeping in an unfamiliar room.

She first checked her dress, which was intact, but then whirled around and felt a fiery pain and some swelling in her buttocks.

“Mistress was spanked by Hsu Lang?”

The night concubine muttered in her heart, she was experienced enough to know that Xu Lang hadn’t touched herself last night.

The Empress must have taken advantage of Xu Yinluo’s wedding to make trouble last night, I’d better forget about this matter ………. She rolled over and adjusted a comfortable sleeping position, closing her eyes again.

……….

“Someone has offered a bounty for Protector Yuan’s dog’s life …….. No, the life of a monkey?”

When Xu Qi’an received Sun Xuanji’s “paper crane” message, his first reaction was not anger, but rather – I accepted it!

“The whole monkey is worth seventeen thousand taels, do you want to put down such a huge amount of blood money, it’s making me move.”

He mentally spat and analyzed the “mastermind” behind the posting of the bounty.

“To be able to post the bounty order everywhere without making a sound, it is evident that there is some energy. Analyzing from the perspective of financial strength, Huaiqing’s possibilities are extremely high. Then there’s my good Xu Ling Yue, who manages the Xu family’s accounts and is an unabashedly little rich girl.

“One of the worst social deaths last night. Of course, if the bounty order is just to scare Yuan’s retaliation, then most of the people who haunted the bridal chamber last night are suspected, and Yuan has offended too many people.

“Poor Protector Yuan.”

Xu Qi’an put down the paper crane, twisted his head to look at Lin’an, who was passed out in the brocade collapse, and shook his head.

Once Lin An had unlocked more positions, he could try to teach her the method of dual cultivation.

The practice not only prolongs life, but also improves endurance.

Xu Qi’an put on his robe and went to the outer room, seeing two palace maids setting up breakfast, they were staring at dark circles under their eyes, they didn’t seem to have slept well last night.

There was some awe in Xu Qi’an’s eyes when she saw him come out.

Poor Your Highness …….. The courtesans muttered in their hearts.

……….
