Dafeng's Night Squad

219 The seven letters from Xu Qi ‘an (2)

“You eat and you live, the People’s wealth. It’s easy to bully the common people, but hard to bully the heavens.”

“What a good poem. I’ve never been to school, so I can only say one thing:Oh my God, it’s so well written. It was written by our Lord chief administrator, right? you are really an official of the Qing Dynasty.”

“It’s not the chief governor, it’s a man named Xu Qi ‘an.Yang Gong. Oh, oh, he’s a student of our Lord chief administrator.”

Since the poem was written by Xu Qi ‘an, then so be it. However, layman Purple Sun had a trick up his sleeve. He had someone carve three small words to the left of Xu Qi’ an’s name:Yang Gong.

If the three great Confucians of Yun Lu Academy were present, they would be vomiting blood while roaring, “Shameless old thief, you can even freeload on this?

Many incorruptible officials clapped their hands on the table and praised this poem. He silently remembered Xu Qi ‘an.

Xu Qi ‘an’s name spread quickly in the bureaucracy of Qingzhou. Soon after, many students and officials suddenly realized that the person who had written the poem on the stele was the great scholar who had written the poems that were said to be the most famous in the literary world two hundred years ago.

The most shocking thing was that he was not a scholar, but a night watchman.

But no matter if it was the officials or the students of Qing Zhou, they were all convinced by Xu Qian. They admired his poetry talent, and even more so, they admired the spirit expressed in his poems.

And when the girls of the Academy of cultivation learned of this news, their chests were filled with excitement and agitation. All of them wished they could burn incense and pray to Buddha, praying that the great scholar Xu would visit them and leave behind a poem or two.

They would be willing to pay for it.

....

Outside the city of Qingzhou.

Layman Zi Yang led a group of senior officials of the state of Qing to personally send the Imperial inspector’s team out of the city.

“I don’t know when we’ll meet again after this. Take care, teacher.” Xu Qi ‘an saluted as a disciple.

Layman Purple Sun nodded slightly and sighed. He had just recognized a student, and before he could even warm up his arms, he was already leaving.

when you go to Yunzhou, handle the case well. Always remember to serve the court and the people. Yang Gong said in a deep voice.

For the people of the world ... Xu Qi ‘an repeated this in her heart.

.....

A few days later, at a relay station at the border of Qingzhou.

At two O ‘clock in the morning, after finishing his breathing and visualization, Xu Qi’ an, who had not slept for seven days, walked out of the room with a candle.

It was late at night, and the courier station was very quiet. He walked down the corridor to the end and went down the stairs.

Beside the counter in the hall, an oil lamp was burning silently. The guard was sleeping soundly on the table, a crystal liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth.

The official courier station was open 24 hours a day. Some officials would rush through the night because of urgent business, and no one could tell when they would stay at the courier station.

Thump thump ...

Xu Qi ‘an knocked on the counter twice, making a dull sound.

The courier woke up with a start. He wiped the corner of his mouth and stood up. my Lord, what are your orders? ”

“Give me a few envelopes and letter paper. I want to write a letter.” Xu Qi ‘an requested.

The courier immediately took out a piece of paper and an envelope from the cabinet. Xu Qi ‘an shook his head.”It’s not enough,”

“How many do you want?”

“Seven envelopes, the more paper the better.”

This was the first time the courier had seen someone write seven letters in one go. He mumbled something silently and obediently handed over seven envelopes and paper.

Xu Qi ‘an took the envelope and the letter, turned around, and went upstairs to his room.

He placed the envelope on the desk, took out the Red Lotus petals from the Jade Mirror, and pressed the five petals on the five envelopes. Then he spread out the paper, pressed it on the paperweight, and ground it to write the letter.

The first letter.

“Princess huaiqing:

“When I was writing this letter, I had already arrived at the border of Qingzhou and was about to enter Yunzhou. When he left the capital, he had wanted to discuss with His Highness and listen to His Highness’s wise opinion.

“I did not think that this humble servant had offended Your Highness in some way, causing Your Highness to be so ruthless and refuse to see you.

“I passed by Yuzhou and cracked a corruption case ... From this case, it could be seen that the witchcraft cult had infiltrated the Imperial court for a long time and had secretly trained many spies. As the saying went, a thousand li away could be destroyed by an ant’s nest. I hope your Highness can persuade His Majesty to work hard to rule and restore the court.

“By the way, there’s a kind of flower in Qingzhou called the Red Lotus. It blooms in the middle of winter. The spirit of the Red Lotus was untainted by the mud, pure and not demonic, straight and pure, pure and clean, and could be observed from afar but not played with.

“This made this humble servant think of Your Highness. I’m sorry, this humble servant knows that these words are a great disrespect to Your Highness. However, Your Highness’s magnificence is something that this humble servant has never seen before. You’re like the Red Lotus, growing out of the mud without being stained, you’re clean but not evil.

“This humble servant picked a lotus petal and sent it to Your Highness along with this letter to express my sincerity.”

The second letter.

“Princess Lin an:

“The night is long and I have no mood to sleep. Your Highness’s voice and smile seem to be in front of my eyes and ringing in my ears.

the trip to Yunzhou was not lonely. Many interesting and bizarre things happened on the way. It turned out that there were water ghosts in the canal. On the way, a Huben guard went up to the deck at night and suddenly heard his mother’s call, so he jumped into the water.

The water ghost grabbed his ankle and tried to drag him to the bottom of the river. Fortunately, I noticed it in time and jumped into the river without any regard for my own safety. I fought with the water ghosts for 300 rounds and only then was I able to save the poor Huben guards.

on the way from Qingzhou to Yunzhou, we passed by a village, and a strange thing happened in the village. The daughter-in-law of a certain family turned into a zombie after she died. She walked around the room all day and all night, growing white teeth and black nails. She bit anyone she saw ...

“Fortunately, this humble servant passed by and saw at a glance that there was a reason for the female’s corpse transformation. After a strict investigation, the truth was found. It turned out that the husband had an affair with the widow in the village and wanted to divorce his wife to marry someone else. The wife was unwilling, so he killed her cruelly.
