Chapter 215 (1/2)
215 An old friend in Qingzhou?(1)
Everyone’s fate was different. If you missed it, then you missed it. No matter how much you regret it, there was no way to take it back.
Missing out on the lady in red who had become famous with one shot, he cried until he was out of breath. It would probably take a few days for him to understand this truth, and then he would adjust himself in a long period of depression.
The courtesan had no choice but to withdraw from the tea gathering after crying so hard. Young master Wei and the others were indeed well-educated scholars. Instead of complaining, they comforted Hong Xiu and gave her a good rest.
After sending Hong Xiu off, young master Wei and the others continued to drink. A place like the Imperial Academy workshop was originally a place for social interaction.
A beauty by his side was the icing on the cake, so it didn’t matter if she wasn’t there. Men should drink and chat.
“Just now, didn’t you say that there was a night watchman who came to make tea?” Young master Wei’s heart skipped a beat as he recalled this detail. He asked the servant girl beside him,
“Lady Hong Xiu said that one of them claimed that Fu Xiang was his lover?”
“It seems so.” The servant girl said.
Young master Wei had a vague guess in his heart. He stopped drinking and stared at the maidservant solemnly,”Then … What’s the gong called?”
“Young master, I don’t know.” The maidservant shook her head and thought, I don’t care about that.
The other young masters were all smart people. They thought of the lady’s abnormal behavior just now and were shocked.”That, that Xu ningyan came to Yuzhou?”
The incident with the God’s will Messenger had only happened today and had not spread throughout Yuzhou. Among this group of students, only young master Wei had an official background, but it would take a day or two before he would know about this.
“We can go to the relay station tomorrow. If the night watchman is staying there, we have to pay him a visit.”
….
An Inn!
The carriage slowed down and stopped outside the courier station.
Provincial governor Zhang alighted from the carriage with a serious expression and returned to the relay station with Jiang Luzhong. It was already night with a full moon hanging high in the sky.
Provincial governor Zhang looked at the stables a little further away and saw only a few horses tied there. After entering the courier station, he asked the courier station and found out that most of the Watchmen were fooling around outside and had not returned to the courier station.
Governor Zhang, who was already in a heavy mood, said angrily, preposterous! We are carrying out the emperor’s orders. How can we be so lazy and greedy for pleasure? ”
Jiang Luzhong laughed and said, ” they’ve been cooped up on the ship for so many days. It’s only natural for them to relax. Since the governor is fine, it doesn’t matter what happens to the others.”
The two of them went upstairs. In the dark corridor, a man in shorts walked up to them. He hugged his shoulders in the cold weather and shivered.
Jiang Luzhong had night vision. He stared at the person and asked in bewilderment, “”What are you up to?”
“I just finished taking a cold shower.”
Xu Qi ‘an, who stayed overnight in the teaching workshop, did not answer.
“And then?”
“This is the South.” He said without thinking and suddenly sighed, “‘I’m trying to find the feeling of the past … Jiang Jinluo, Governor Zhang, you’re back. The others are staying at the Imperial Academy’s workshop.”
Governor Zhang nodded and entered his own room.
“Why didn’t you stay at the Imperial Academy?” Jiang Luzhong scrutinized Xu Qi ‘an. As far as he knew, this kid was also a veteran in the flower field.
“Any transaction that is related to silver is vulgar and sinful. We’re determined to boycott this kind of behavior.” Xu Qi ‘an finished speaking with a serious expression and walked away.
Jiang Luzhong looked at his back and thought,”this kid must be drunk.” Furthermore, the spirit refinement realm martial artist was already immune to the cold and heat, yet he still pretended to be hungry and cold.
Xu Qi ‘an entered the room and closed the door. She trembled in self-entertainment and quickly ran to the bed. She rolled up the quilt and pretended that she lived in the cold and damp South.
In terms of geographical location, although Yuzhou was not a coastal city, it was still in the South. Different from the bone-piercing cold wind in the capital, the cold in Yuzhou stuck to the skin and seeped into the pores.
This reminded Xu Qi ‘an of the South in her previous life, where she would shower in the middle of winter, turn off the hot water, and use soap. She would shiver while doing so.
After taking a shower, she put on her clothes. As she put on her clothes, her snot flowed out.
Unfortunately, mortal realm martial artists had strong physical bodies, so they would not feel cold. Even if they were soaked in ice water, they would only feel cold at most.
Wrapped in the quilt, Xu Qi ‘an fell asleep in peace.
….
The candlelight was like a bean, swaying with a dim yellow halo.
Provincial governor Zhang sat in front of the table, picked up a brush and wrote a Memorial,
I was passing by Yuzhou when I came across a case of corruption. Yan Kai, the administrator of Yuzhou’s water transport Yamen, ordered the local yellow flag gang to kill the ship guards, embezzled the black iron ore, and secretly transported it to Yunzhou …
“I’ve checked the shipwrecks of Yuzhou’s water transportation Office and found that in the past ten years, there have been a total of 43 shipwrecks, and two million Jin of iron ore was lost. The country traitor had silently extracted the Gu of great Feng, breaking their bones and sucking their marrow, causing one to shiver.
“Yuzhou, a single state, lost two million Jin of iron ore in ten years. If the sixteen states of Da Feng were to accumulate it, what a huge amount would it be? I request your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the capsized boats of the water transportation Yamen in the various provinces of Da Feng.
“The former Minister of Works colluded with the witch God religion and secretly supported the bandits in Yunzhou.
“In addition, Xu Qi ‘an is extremely alert and capable, and is the pillar of the country. This person was the main contributor to solving the floating boat case.
the trip to Yunzhou is dangerous and unpredictable. I will do my best. I will do my best until I die.
…..
At dusk the next day, the group left Yuzhou and continued to travel to Yunzhou by boat.
During the day, Xu Qi ‘an brought the Tiger guards and his colleagues to the city to purchase some seasonal vegetables, wine, rice, and other supplies.
They were using the water transport Yamen’s accounts, which was equivalent to white taxi.
That night, the cook on the boat prepared a sumptuous banquet for the Imperial envoy. After eating and drinking, Xu Qi ‘an sat cross-legged in his room and began to cultivate.
“Ning Yan, it’s a pity that you didn’t sleep with the top courtesan of Yuzhou’s Imperial Academy of etiquette last night.” Song tingfeng felt sorry for his colleague.
