Chapter 96 (1/2)



96 Murder case (1)

Xu Qi ‘an, who had gotten up early, heard Xu lingying’s noisy voice when he arrived at the back hall.

There was a red pimple on her fair and smooth face, and it hurt when she pressed it.

Her aunt lied to her that there were bugs on her face and the bugs were eating her flesh. She would be disfigured the next day and would not be able to get married in the future.

Xu lingying didn’t care if she could get married or not, but she had always thought of herself as a cute child. In the future, she would be as beautiful as her mother and sister and become an excellent troublemaker.

Hearing her mother’s words, she was so sad that she was on the verge of tears.

That was why Auntie was also a bad person to Juan ‘er. She even lied to her own young daughter and was so proud of herself that she laughed at her from the side.

“Big brother …” Xu Ling shook his little butt and ran in front of his big brother. He made an emergency brake, turned his face sideways, and pointed his short fingers at his cheek.”I’m going to be disfigured.”

you’re not disfigured, ” Xu Qi ‘an touched her head.”You’re so beautiful.”

“What’s so beautiful?”

“I’ll definitely be more beautiful than your mother and sister in the future.”

Xu lingying believed her and was very happy. She had three bowls of porridge for breakfast.

…..

When they arrived at the night watchman’s Yamen, Xu Qi ‘an, song tingfeng, and Zhu guangxiao, who were in charge of the day patrol, were strolling on the street together.

“Your blade is pretty good.” Song tingfeng noticed that the style of the saber hanging on Xu Qi ‘an’s back had changed.

Xu Qi ‘an pressed on the black-gold saber with one hand and flicked it with his thumb. The black-gold saber was unsheathed by three inches, and then quickly returned to its sheath.

“The Directorate of Celestials gave it to me.”

He didn’t say that it was from the supervisor. Even if he did, no one would believe him. If they believed him and word got out, they would attract the attention of covetous people.

“A magic tool?” Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao’s eyes lit up.

Xu Qi ‘an shook his head. It was not a magic weapon, and there was no formation engraved on it. Its only feature was that it was hard.

This point was very consistent with Xu Qi ‘an.

The streets of the inner city were wide and accessible in all directions. Xu Qi ‘an bought a lot of snacks and gave them to his two colleagues. They ate while they walked.

There were advantages to a day patrol. Other than the night watchmen, there were also Imperial knife guards patrolling the city and constables from the government office.

This greatly reduced the work pressure of the night watchman. He could have time to slack off, and when he was tired from walking, he could go to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to books, or even hang out and listen to music.

As he walked, Xu Qi ‘an stepped on a hard lump. He looked forward and bent down to pick it up without stopping.

His movements were too natural and smooth, and his expression was too calm. It made song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao think that he was just doing ‘touching his trousers’,’ patting his boots’, and other ordinary actions.

He didn’t notice that his new colleague had just seen three coins of silver.

Xu Qi ‘an held the silver and suggested, “”How about going to the brothel and listening to music?”

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao hesitated for a moment. “Alright,” he said.

The three of them walked into the private room on the second floor with ease. The table was placed by the railing, and the guests could drink tea and drink while overlooking the show on the stage in the lobby.

There was a drama going on on stage.

“The day after tomorrow is the day His Majesty worships his ancestors. You should have experienced it a few times, right?” Xu Qi ‘an started the conversation and asked for experience from his two colleagues.

we just need to guard the border of sang Bo. The ancestral worship ceremony will be held in sang Bo. You know that, right? ” Song tingfeng took a sip of wine while chewing on the peanut.

Xu Qi ‘an nodded. Mulberry Lake was a small lake outside the Imperial City, and it happened to be surrounded and protected by the military camps of the five guards in the capital.

The job of the night watchman was very simple. It was to maintain order and protect the safety of the royal family.

The ritual process was handled by the Taichang temple and the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial Guards such as the Royal saber guards and the Golden guards patrolled the perimeter.

After watching a drama, song tingfeng was bored and called the brothel keeper. After a while, a group of well-dressed girls came in.

They smiled and stood in a row, throwing flirtatious glances at the three guests.

The night watchmen’s uniforms on Xu Qi ‘an and the other two were very intimidating.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t want to touch any woman for the next three days. Qi refining realm Warriors didn’t need to be abstinent, but they had to restrain themselves and not indulge.

“Listen to me …” He waved his hand and whispered something into the ears of his two colleagues.

Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao stared at him in disbelief, as if to say:You’re a beast?

After choosing two beautiful women, the two of them didn’t leave the private room. Instead, they went into the inner room. In a place like the brothel, of course, they wouldn’t just listen to music. Most of the time, they would listen to music while completing the transfer of life.
