Chapter 117 (1/2)
117 The organizer (1)
Xu lingyue had probably overthought it, and she had a rather stuffy personality, so she had been suppressing her emotions in her heart. Seeing that her big brother had returned safe and sound, she finally felt relieved and cried her heart out, her tears rolling down.
It was only when the servant girl walked out of the door and saw the brother and sister hugging each other that she shouted in surprise, “”Has dalang been released from prison?”
It was only then that Xu lingyue remembered that she was an unmarried maiden. She broke free from her brother’s arms and sobbed while hanging her head, her face as red as fire.
Xu Qi ‘an held his sister’s hand and entered the boudoir. The maidservant made him tea and stood at the side, listening to the conversation between the eldest young master and the eldest young miss.
“Go and inform the servants to boil some hot water. I want to take a bath.” Xu Qi ‘an ordered.
The maidservant went out to pass on the message, but who knew that when the servants heard it, their expressions changed greatly, and they shook their heads in refusal.
The maidservant felt wronged and went back to tell dalang. Dalang Xu was also very angry. He thought to himself, “are you servants too arrogant, or am I too weak to lift my blade?”
“Then help me boil the water.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
The maidservant felt even more aggrieved, but she did not dare to refuse and left with a pout.
Xu Qi ‘an turned around and smiled at Xu lingyue.”His Majesty has allowed me to atone for my mistake. I’m fine for the time being.”
Xu lingyue nodded, her exquisite oval face looking a little Haggard. how did big brother fight with his colleagues? ”
Xu Qi ‘an briefly explained what had happened. Xu lingyue was furious and clenched her fists.”Younger sister is always assured when eldest brother does things.”
She revealed a bright smile and her eyes were filled with pride.
Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t help but pinch her face when she saw how beautiful she was.
Xu lingyue lowered her head shyly.
After taking a bath, they put on the night watchman’s uniform. Xu Qi ‘an and Xu lingying sat under the eaves in a row, each holding a big bowl of egg and shredded pork noodles.
It was a warm and harmonious scene.
“Lingying, I’ll trade meat for eggs,” Xu Qi ‘an said.
Xu Ling thought for a moment and shook his head. no, I don’t want to. Mother said that big brother cheated me of buns last time.
“Do you think big brother is lying to you?”
She tilted her head and thought about it seriously. “I’ve forgotten.”
Xu Qi. an said, ” that’s why I would never lie to you. I’m not trying to cheat you of your eggs. I just …
Before he could finish, he saw Xu lingying spit at the egg.
Xu Qi ‘an was dumbfounded.
“Second brother taught me,” Xu linging said.
…. Indeed, scholars were not good people! Xu Qi ‘an lowered her head and ate, giving up on her younger sister’s egg.
“Lingying, you can’t eat this. It’s poisonous,” he threatened.
“Ah?” Xu lingying’s eyes widened. She looked at the bowl on her lap, then at her brother, shocked.
Xu Qi ‘an patiently explained to her, “”In the past, when you fell and scraped your skin, did your father use his saliva to wipe your wound?”
Xu Ling nodded.
Xu Qi ‘an said,’ that’s because saliva can …’ it could kill dirty things. From this, it could be deduced that once saliva left the mouth, it was poisonous. From this, we can deduce that your egg noodles are poisoned and can’t be eaten.”
After he finished speaking, he saw Xu lingying’s little face turn white.
“Will I die?” Xu lingying pursed her lips and asked with tears in her eyes.
“I won’t die, but my stomach will hurt for many days.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
Xu lingying nodded and continued to eat her noodles.
Xu Qi ‘an: “??? ”
……..
After eating the noodles, Xu Qi ‘an went to Xu Erlang’s room and found his Jade Mirror in the study. Xu Qi’ an put it in his arms and happened to see a few pages of paper at the corner of Xu Erlang’s table.
The paper was scribbled densely with illegible handwriting. It was an analysis of Xu Qi ‘an’s situation and an assessment of whether the Directorate of Celestials and the Yun Lu Academy would be of any use.
It was probably a thought that he had written down in the dead of the night while sitting in the study room in deep thought.
This little brother still has some skills … Xu Qi ‘an smiled and left the study.
He rushed back to the Yamen and went to see Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan had been waiting for a long time. He pointed to the seat beside Yang Yan and said gently, “”Sit.”
Yang Yan handed over a file expressionlessly.
“I’ve asked the Golden Jade Hall, the spring breeze Hall, and the evil-suppressing Hall to work together on this case,” Wei Yuan said. You’re the host!”
Xu Qi ‘an was shocked.
“His Majesty personally gave the order,” Wei Yuan laughed.
When their eyes met, Xu Qi ‘an suddenly understood that Wei Yuan wanted to promote him through this … He was directly appointed as the organizer, not to assist in the case.
Xu Qi ‘an opened the file and read it carefully. He asked directly, “”Is there something sealed under the Sang Bo?”
Wei Yuan’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Yang Yan’s usually expressionless face also showed a look of surprise.
Wei Yuan had told him the truth that something was sealed in the Mulberry Lake this morning. Nangong qianrou, who was smarter than him, only had a vague guess after the incident at the Mulberry Lake last night. She thought of the day when her foster father was looking through the information and dossiers in the warehouse, but she didn’t dare to confirm it.
Until this morning, when their foster father told them the truth.
However, this little Gong had directly pointed out that there was something sealed under the Sang Bo.
Wei Yuan’s surprised expression disappeared and he smiled, “”Tell me your reasoning.”
Xu Qi ‘an wanted to prove himself in front of Wei Yuan and said, “”Although sang Bo is a forbidden area of our Da Feng, to outsiders, the only thing of value is probably the nation-guarding divine sword.”
