Chapter 219 (1/2)



219 The seven letters from Xu Qi ‘an (2)

“You eat and you live, the People’s wealth. It’s easy to bully the common people, but hard to bully the heavens.”

“What a good poem. I’ve never been to school, so I can only say one thing:Oh my God, it’s so well written. It was written by our Lord chief administrator, right? you are really an official of the Qing Dynasty.”

“It’s not the chief governor, it’s a man named Xu Qi ‘an.Yang Gong. Oh, oh, he’s a student of our Lord chief administrator.”

Since the poem was written by Xu Qi ‘an, then so be it. However, layman Purple Sun had a trick up his sleeve. He had someone carve three small words to the left of Xu Qi’ an’s name:Yang Gong.

If the three great Confucians of Yun Lu Academy were present, they would be vomiting blood while roaring, “Shameless old thief, you can even freeload on this?

Many incorruptible officials clapped their hands on the table and praised this poem. He silently remembered Xu Qi ‘an.

Xu Qi ‘an’s name spread quickly in the bureaucracy of Qingzhou. Soon after, many students and officials suddenly realized that the person who had written the poem on the stele was the great scholar who had written the poems that were said to be the most famous in the literary world two hundred years ago.

The most shocking thing was that he was not a scholar, but a night watchman.

But no matter if it was the officials or the students of Qing Zhou, they were all convinced by Xu Qian. They admired his poetry talent, and even more so, they admired the spirit expressed in his poems.

And when the girls of the Academy of cultivation learned of this news, their chests were filled with excitement and agitation. All of them wished they could burn incense and pray to Buddha, praying that the great scholar Xu would visit them and leave behind a poem or two.

They would be willing to pay for it.

….

Outside the city of Qingzhou.

Layman Zi Yang led a group of senior officials of the state of Qing to personally send the Imperial inspector’s team out of the city.

“I don’t know when we’ll meet again after this. Take care, teacher.” Xu Qi ‘an saluted as a disciple.

Layman Purple Sun nodded slightly and sighed. He had just recognized a student, and before he could even warm up his arms, he was already leaving.

when you go to Yunzhou, handle the case well. Always remember to serve the court and the people. Yang Gong said in a deep voice.

For the people of the world … Xu Qi ‘an repeated this in her heart.

…..

A few days later, at a relay station at the border of Qingzhou.

At two O ‘clock in the morning, after finishing his breathing and visualization, Xu Qi’ an, who had not slept for seven days, walked out of the room with a candle.

It was late at night, and the courier station was very quiet. He walked down the corridor to the end and went down the stairs.

Beside the counter in the hall, an oil lamp was burning silently. The guard was sleeping soundly on the table, a crystal liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth.

The official courier station was open 24 hours a day. Some officials would rush through the night because of urgent business, and no one could tell when they would stay at the courier station.
