Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 80

80 Chapter 78-testing each other _

[ Jiu: a while ago, I took advantage of Dao head’s deep sleep to secretly return to the earth sect to do some things, but I was ambushed. It was only when he escaped to the capital of Da Feng that he managed to save his life. In order to avoid being hunted down, he gave away the sealed mirror ... [ brother Chen Jinnan. ]

Not only did you reveal my gender, but you also hinted at my age ... Xu Qi ‘an was a little angry. He could have pretended to be a transvestite or an expert in the Heaven and Earth Society.

[ Jiu: after that, with the help of brother Chen Jinnan, we managed to kill zilian and avoid this calamity. ]

[ two: three. Which Yamen are you from? ]

You’re like a netizen asking for the address. It’d be weird if I told you ... Xu Qi ‘an had an idea and imitated Xu Erlang’s tone, ”

Three: Yamen? [ the capital’s Yamen are just a bunch of useless guys. ]

No. 3 seemed to be very disdainful of the Yamen, and his tone was a little arrogant. There were only a few official powers in the capital. The human sect was excluded as the Golden Lotus Taoist would not work with the human sect.

The night watchman wouldn’t describe the capital’s Yamen like that. Was it the Directorate of Celestials or the Yun Lu Academy?

This tone was very similar to that of the group of Confucians who claimed that ” of all the lower-class people, only reading is the best ”

Two and Lu, who were in front of the mirror, made their guesses at the same time.

[ two: No. 1 is also in Beijing. Maybe you two know each other. ] Number one, I know you’re looking at yourself in the mirror. Have you heard about what happened today? ]

[ one: a Vagabond died in the guiyue tower in the inner city. Sixty miles to the east of the city, a Hill was pierced through by an unknown method. ]

After a short pause, number one continued to send a message, ”

[number two, has Yunzhou’s bandit problem been appeased?]

Interesting!

Xu Qi ‘an raised his eyebrows.

He smelled a Palace drama.

Number two pulled number one into the water and sent him a message at the same time:Both you and number one are in the capital.

He was obviously targeting No. 1. The reason was simple. After the chat just now, everyone knew that No. 3 was from Beijing.

However, as No. 3, he didn’t know the information of the others. No. 2 could have chosen not to reveal this.

However, number one immediately returned an eye for an eye and openly threw out the news, showing that he had the channels to give Xu Qi ‘an a heads up and counterattack number two at the same time.

No. 2 was in Yunzhou ... Bandits ... She was also from the Yamen?

Yunzhou was plagued with bandits every year, and people from other provinces jokingly called it:Fei province.

As Xu Qi ‘an’s imagination ran wild, Lu and two were also mulling over the information given by number one.

Sixty miles to the east of the city, a Hill was pierced through ... There was too little information, so he could not determine what cultivation system it was. However, he could confirm that it was a high-ranked powerhouse.

[ 2: how can it be settled? the Emperor of Da Feng is a brainless monkey. He only thinks about cultivation all day long and doesn’t know the suffering of the human world. ]

These words sounded ... No. 2 should not be living off the salary of the Imperial court ... Xu Qi ‘an guessed.

[ two: not mentioning the previous years, just this year alone, I’ve checked the household registration of all the counties and prefectures in Yunzhou and have investigated everywhere. A rough estimate is that at least 60000 people have fled, become refugees, or become bandits. ]

The refugees were people without land, people who could not afford the taxes, people who abandoned their land and fled.

Even if the fields were gone, the people still had to live. Some begged and worked, while others became bandits and robbed the good people. It formed a vicious cycle.

“I’ve annihilated more than a dozen groups of mountain bandits and discovered that there are even more powerful forces hidden behind them,” No. 2 continued.

[ one: do you have any leads? ]

[ two: No... ] By the way, how’s the situation in the capital recently? ]

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t wait for number one’s reply and entered the information first.[ 3: Assistant Minister Zhou has fallen from his horse, and the political battle has begun. [ however, Assistant Minister Zhou’s fall from power was somewhat absurd and unruly. The cause was that his only son had lost his mind due to lust and attempted to Sully the second daughter of the Weiwu Marquis. ]

His words were to send a message to No. 2.He wanted to show off his standard to everyone and at the same time, test number one.

Those who were qualified to participate in the struggles of the Imperial court all knew that the true reason for Assistant Minister Zhou’s fall was the tax silver case.

To his disappointment, number one did not correct him.

[ one: Golden Lotus Daoist priest, I’ve done some research for you. The exact time that Yunlu Academy’s quasi-Saint Academy will be sealed is the sixty-year-cycle. That day, other than the eldest Princess, there was also a minor official called Xu Qi ‘an among the outsiders at Yun Lu Academy. ]

“!!!”

Xu Qi ‘an’s heart skipped a beat. He felt a sense of panic, as if he had been skinned alive and his address had been made public on the internet.

‘What’s the background of this number one? why is he investigating the incident on the Jiazi day ...’ Xu Qi ‘an recalled that on the day of the sixty-year-cycle, Erlang had brought him to tour the Yun Lu Academy. On a whim, he had written the four lines of Heng qu on the stone tablet.

This caused the sub-holy temple to be filled with fresh air.

At the same time, he was very curious as to why Golden Lotus Daoist priest was so concerned about the changes in Yunlu Academy.

Logically speaking, this is a matter that only the Imperial College’s scholars should be concerned about. What does it have to do with you, a Daoist from the earth sect?

[ number one: however, that minor official is nothing special. Other than being quite talented in poetry, he’s only at the essence refinement realm and isn’t a student of Yun Lu Academy, much less a scholar. ]

[ Jiu: okay, I got it. ]

[ three: why does the Daoist priest care about the changes in Yun Lu Academy? ] Xu Qi ‘an tried to probe.

[ Jiu: I want to know if Cheng ya Sheng’s stone tablet is broken. ]

[ 3: is this important? ]

[ Jiu: it’s very important. ]

It had cracked ... Xu Qi ‘an didn’t tell the Golden Lotus Taoist. Even if he wanted to tell him, it wasn’t the right time.

[ 3: I have something to ask everyone. ]

[ two: go on. ]

...

[ 3. Is Alchemist unique to the Directorate of Celestials? ]

Xu Qi ‘an’s words had almost ruled out his identity as a disciple of the Directorate of Celestials.

Everyone was even more certain that he was a scholar from Yun Lu Academy and a student who was highly valued by the Academy’s elders. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to invite a high-ranked expert to kill the purple Lotus Daoist.

This was exactly what Xu Qi ‘an wanted.

You might think that I’m a student of Yun Lu Academy, but I’m actually a night watchman. In the future, when you realize that I might be a night watchman, you’ll realize that I’m really a student of Yun Lu Academy. Perhaps, you’ll even realize that I’m the life mentor of the Directorate of celestial alchemists.

[ Lu: I’ll answer this question. 600 years ago, there was no Warlock system. It was only after the founding of Dafeng that sorcerers appeared in the Directorate of Celestials.

The sect had a short history and had not yet spread its branches. In other words, other than the Directorate of Celestials, there were almost no alchemists who were wild ... There should still be some, but only a few. Otherwise, the alchemists would be surprised if I took out a blue leather book.

No wonder the alchemists were so eager to learn about my theoretical knowledge of chemistry. They were clearly very powerful.

Because of its short history, it did not form a comprehensive set of theoretical foundation courses?

Also, who was The Alchemist behind the silver Tax case?

There was a suspicious point in the tax silver case that had been bothering Xu Qi ‘an, a veteran criminal investigator.

...

The Directorate of Celestials seemed to have adopted a passive attitude towards the gold cultivators involved in this case.

This was very unscientific.

Whether it was Chu Caiwei, Song Qing or the other white-robed men, none of them had mentioned this matter to him.

[ Lu: No. 3, according to the rules, you have to answer a question of mine. ]

Xu Qi ‘an then realized that number one and number two were having a question-and-answer conversation. Just now, he was the one who interrupted them and answered the recent situation in the Imperial court in the capital for number one.

[ 3: you can ask. ]

[ Lu: what’s the name of the second stage of the scholarly faction? ]

This was another test, a test of my identity ... He wasn’t testing if I was a student of Yun Lu Academy, but rather, he was testing my social status.

Ordinary scholars didn’t know what the second stage of the scholarly faction was called. At that time, the life story of the great scholar Qian Zhong wasn’t clearly stated in the stele. It was only after Xu niannian’s explanation that Xu Qi ‘an found out.

The reason why Jiro knew about it was because he was a student highly valued by the great scholar Zhang Shen. He was a high scholar of autumn Hunt High School.

This was already considered the elite level among the students of the cloud deer Institute.

If I wasn’t a student of Yun Lu Academy, this test would also be effective. Even non-Confucians knew that a rank-2 would have a higher social status.

If I can’t answer them, they’ll probably think that I’m not high enough.

Xu Qi ‘an wrote with his finger,

[ 3. The second stage of the scholarly faction is called the great scholar. ]
