Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Xu Qian'an: I'm going to the Jiaofangsi to avenge my previous shame

?

He could predict the position of the monster after it went into the water... and accurately shoot through its brain... This keen insight and judgment is simply terrifying... Lv Qing is proud of being a woman serving as the head of the government office and overpowering all the heroes.

But at this moment, she was convinced by the magical skills displayed by Xu Qi'an and was willing to admit defeat.

Well, not only is he powerful, but he is also very humble and low-key, much better than those men who look down on women.

Huh... If the monster had not been injured, poisoned, and separated by a layer of water, I might not have been able to shoot it with one arrow... Xu Qi'an put away the military crossbow, feeling a little regretful. This crossbow can only be shot three times, and its durability is too poor.

After three shots, it has become an ordinary military crossbow.

It should have been used to save lives, but it is a pity to use it to deal with monsters.

Lv Qing followed his gaze and also noticed this ordinary-looking military crossbow. When she saw it, she was immediately surprised.

The crossbow was engraved with complicated and mysterious array patterns. Considering the aura when the arrow was shot, it is not difficult to guess that this is a magic weapon.

The only magic weapon of the night watchman is the gong... Is it his own private property? He said that he could invite the sorcerer from the Sitianjian, and it turned out that he was not bragging... Lu Qing's impression of this man changed again, and his favorability increased. Xu Qiyan turned sideways, not letting her continue to look at his treasure, and smiled:

"If you don't fish it out, it will be washed away. What a great achievement."

Lu Qing smiled reservedly and nodded.

The two entered the river together and dragged the monster's body ashore.

At this time, Song Tingfeng supported Zhu Guangxiao and staggered out of the forest.

"Did you kill it?" Song Tingfeng couldn't hide his smile, as if relieved.

The taciturn Zhu Guangxiao exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

"How are you?" Xu Qiyan was concerned about Zhu Guangxiao's injuries.

The mute shook his head: "It's okay, just two broken ribs."

The four of them took a short break on the river bank, and two constables in the Refining Spirit Realm took the village head down the mountain.

When the village head saw the corpse of the monster, he was angry and scared. He walked forward cautiously, kicked it, and fled with an agility that an old man shouldn't have.

After waiting for a few seconds, seeing no reaction, he felt relieved and rushed over to punch and kick it, helpless and furious.

After venting his anger, the village head knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Qian'an and others. Xu Qiyan waved his hand: "I ask you, when was the cave in the south mined?"

The head of the village thought for a while: "That is a kiln left over from the past. There is not much limestone in the south, and the road is not easy to walk. It was abandoned many years ago. I don't know when it was mined like this."

Xu Qiyan asked again: "Did people often walk there before?"

The head of the village said: "It is not completely deserted."

Why don't you just say that someone occasionally walks there? Why are you being so pretentious to me... Xu Qiyan complained in his heart and said: "You go back first and wait for the government office to summon you."

The old man was kicked by Zhu Guangxiao just now and suffered some minor injuries. Xu Qiyan saw that he kept holding his waist.

Lu Qing had no objection to Xu Qiyan's handling method, and immediately asked a colleague to send the head of the village back.

The rest of the people breathed in and out on the spot to adjust, restore their strength, and replenish water and food.

A quarter of an hour later, three horses pulled the corpse of the monster and walked slowly on the official road.

On the way, Lu Qing described Xu Qiyan's magical operation vividly, and his words were full of admiration.

Song Tingfeng rode his horse close to Xu Qiyan and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "She seems to have a good impression of you."

Xu Qiyan responded softly: "What do you want to say?"

Song Tingfeng said: "Captain Lu is quite famous in the Six Gates of the capital, and he has not married yet. Every man wants to be a lone walker on a certain road, right?"

In this era, she is an older leftover woman... Xu Qiyan smiled: "Then you work hard."

Song Tingfeng squinted his eyes, sighed and shook his head: "People like me are only suitable for the Jiaofangsi."

Xu Qiyan smiled and said: "Even if the tree-lined path you yearn for is covered with white frost every morning and evening?"

Zhu Guangxiao frowned, not understanding what the two colleagues were talking about.

"By the way, what was your move just now?" Xu Qiyan asked.

"Xiaofeng Sword Technique." Song Tingfeng said.

Swordsmanship... The knife skills that Captain Lu used just now, which were like a cutting machine, are also a unique skill... Wait, swordsmanship?!

Xu Qian'an stared at the knife on Song Tingfeng's waist.

Song Tingfeng shrugged: "Although the knife can't perform swordsmanship."

Yes, yes, who said that you can't kill people without a gun? Xu Qian'an complained in his heart.

While chatting and laughing, they saw a group of people walking from the street and gathering towards the official road.

The leader was the head of the village, and the refined constable who sent him back.

The constable shook his head helplessly: "They had to come and thank us."

The head of the village held a basket of eggs in his hand and held it high in front of Xu Qi'an, "These are all the eggs collected by our village, sir, please accept them.

In the past six months, we really couldn't live happily. If it weren't for the adults who eradicated the monsters for us, to put it in a lawless way, we couldn't pay the taxes and had to

flee and become refugees."

Xu Qi'an looked at the head of the village's uneasy eyes and swept across the pale and thin faces of the gray households.

"Okay!" He took the basket of eggs with a smile and hung it on the saddle.

The people around smiled, and only then did they dare to talk loudly, pointing at the corpse of

the monster and cursing endlessly.

If I insisted on not taking it, I would tell them loudly: I won't take a single needle or thread

from the people!

It would probably scare them.

Xu Qi'an sighed silently.

...

After returning to the capital, the corpse of the monster was received by the government servants waiting outside the city, pulled onto a cart, covered with a white cloth, and cleaned up the traces before entering the city.

"The saltpeter mine incident is not a small matter, it must be reported." Song Tingfeng ate an

egg and swallowed the egg liquid.

Parasite warning...Xu Qiyan nodded.

After returning to the night watchman's office, the three did not have time to write a report, but went directly to Chunfeng Hall to tell Li Yuchun what happened.

After listening, Chun Ge looked serious.

"Well done, Xu Qiyan, you have made a great contribution." Li Yuchun walked up to the three people and personally arranged their clothes, making them neat and tidy.

He returned to his seat and pondered, "What do you think?"

The three Tongluo looked at each other, and Song Tingfeng said:

"According to Xu Ningyan's analysis, the monsters are consciously driving away the gray households, and after our investigation, we found saltpeter mines in the mountains... This is

definitely not a coincidence."

"Are there any more specific and powerful analysis results?" Li Yuchun asked back.

Song Tingfeng spread his hands, "Boss, I'm good at killing people, but I'm good at handling

cases..."

It's just so-so.

The three of them looked at Xu Qian'an at the same time, and Li Yuchun's eyes were full of expectation: "Ningyan, what do you think?"

The three of them had experienced Xu Qian'an's ability to scrutinize cases.

Although he was just a newcomer who had just entered the Qi training realm, he always felt inexplicably at ease with him.

People will subconsciously rely on the strong in areas they are not good at.

Xu Qian'an thought for a while and said, "Then let me add something. I am sure that the

reason why the monster drove away the surrounding gray households is to monopolize the

saltpeter mine.

"At first, I thought it might choose to lay eggs in the Dahuangshan River Basin. When I returned to the capital, I found that it was a male.

"There is just one question that I can't figure out. Why did the monster target the saltpeter

mine? In addition to being used as medicine, this thing can also be used to make gunpowder."

Of course, saltpeter has other uses, but Xu Qian'an feels that the generation gap is too deep,

so it is better not to say it.

He subconsciously glanced at Li Yuchun, but was surprised to find that the other party was startled and froze there, as if he had figured out something.

"It's the monster clan, it's the monster clan..." he murmured.

Li Yuchun didn't explain either, spread out the paper, and wrote quickly.

.....

Song Tingfeng took Xu Qian'an to the study to fill out the "injury" document. "After writing this, we can rest for two days. We don't have to be on duty tomorrow." Song

Tingfeng said, "You have to learn to seek benefits for yourself appropriately."

This is the legendary work injury, no, paid leave... Xu Qi'an deeply agrees with his colleague's

wit.

It was dusk when he left the study, and Xu Qi'an planned to go home and rest. Song Tingfeng stopped him and said, "Didn't we agree to go to the Jiaofangsi tonight?"

Xu Qi'an was stunned, and then looked at Zhu Guangxiao who was following Song Tingfeng,

and said in surprise:

"Is your injury okay?"

Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice, "The women of the Jiaofangsi know how to serve

people."

....Does this mean that they will sit up and move by themselves? Xu Qi'an arched his hands towards him.

Indeed, how can you give up the pleasant social interaction between colleagues for a minor injury like a fracture.

It doesn't matter if you don't go home, the second uncle knows that the night watchman has

to work at night. As for my aunt, well, she obviously doesn't care whether I go home or not, she just hums and groans at me all day long.

Xu Qian'an, who is not going home tonight, will have a social event with two colleagues that

conforms to the official style of Dafeng.

Destination: Jiaofangsi!

He had experienced a lot of similar social events in his previous life, but the form changed

from dinner parties to visiting brothels.

In Dafeng, or in this era, brothels are the preferred social places.

The night watchman's badge allowed the three of them to ignore the curfew in the inner city.

When they encountered colleagues who were also night watchmen, they turned a blind eye

after being routinely questioned.

.....

The three of them walked in the alley of Jiaofangsi. Song Tingfeng, who squinted his eyes when he smiled, said: "When you are patrolling at night in the future, you can turn a blind eye

to colleagues near Jiaofangsi. If you meet them in other areas, it is best not to relax. You can't guarantee what their purpose is when they go out in the middle of the night."

"I once heard an example from an old senior. There was a night watchman who had a grudge

with someone. He sneaked into someone's house at night and killed the whole family. Afterwards, he couldn't find out what happened. It took a lot of effort to identify the murderer who was also a night watchman.

"We will talk about the details when we have tea."

Xu Qian'an smiled and nodded.

The inside story of these circles is a very valuable experience. If you meet a jealous colleague

who likes to intrigue, he may not be willing to tell you.

"By the way, which courtyard are we going to?" Zhu Guangxiao, who is frugal with words,

said.

"Yingmei Pavilion."

"Just find one. "

Two answers, the first one came from Xu Qiyan, and the second one was from Song Tingfeng.

Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng looked at Xu Qiyan together, and their eyes seemed to say: What do you think?

Song Tingfeng smiled and patted his new colleague on the shoulder: "Miss Fuxiang's tea

party is ten taels of silver, and she rarely has guests. Usually there are only guests for tea party for several days in a row, and no guests in the curtain. This is a clever method..." Hunger marketing, I understand... Xu Qiyan remembered that the two of them did not know

that they had designed to frame Zhou Li, and such inside information could not be publicized.

They also did not know that he and Fuxiang, the courtesan, had slept together.

Just sleeping.

Zhu Guangxiao reminded: "Miss Fuxiang doesn't like us."

He didn't talk much, but what he said was either pertinent or kind and heartfelt. The two colleagues didn't want to waste money on Yingmei Pavilion. Xu Qian'an thought

about it and said, "Just think of it as a way to broaden your horizons. I'll pay for the tea

party."

As a newcomer, it is a common way to entertain seniors in the company with seafood.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao smiled. No one would refuse a kind invitation.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Yingmei Pavilion.

Xu Qian'an looked at the courtyard where the sound of stringed instruments came from, and thought to himself, I'm here to avenge my previous shame.
