Dafeng's Night Squad

192 The internal discussion of the heaven and earth Union

Xu Qi ‘an was riding a horse, and the old manager was driving the carriage. In the carriage were Xu lingyue, his aunt, and Xu lingying, who was excitedly sticking her head out of the window.

Because eldest brother was accompanying her, she didn’t bring any maidservants or servants. Too many people would be a hindrance.

On the way, he bought some food for Xu lingyue and Xu lingying. Xu Qi ‘an said to the car window, “”Auntie, do you want one?”

His aunt rejected him.

When they arrived at the house and got out of the car, Xu Qi ‘an saw her aunt wiping her mouth.

“The location is not bad. It’s not far from the downtown area and there’s a river on the side ...” His aunt commented with satisfaction. She stood at the entrance of the house and frowned.

“Why does it look a little shabby?”

How could it not be shabby? this was a haunted house ... Xu Qian said in peace and motioned for his old manager to open the door.

The aunt brought her two daughters into the house. What she saw was a desolate and dilapidated scene. It was obvious that it had been deserted for many years and no one was managing it.

“Just this?” she frowned.

“No one has lived in this house for many years, and there’s no one even renting it, so the broker sold it for four thousand taels. It’s just that the landlord doesn’t agree to it ...”

Four thousand taels? Auntie squinted her eyes and asked indifferently, “”What’s the price of this house?”

“Five thousand taels.” The old manager said.

The aunt did not say anything and took the daughters on a tour of the house, picking out the thorns wherever they went. The old manager was also an experienced one. He was thick-skinned and allowed others to do whatever they wanted.

Seeing the beautiful mature woman and the elegant and refined young girl walk into the inner courtyard, the old manager was shocked and quickly looked at Xu Qi ‘an.

“I’m fine.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

It should be fine in broad daylight ... The old manager looked at the beautiful woman’s back, and her swaying buttocks were particularly attractive.

“Do you really want to buy this house?”

“Yes.”

He really wasn’t afraid of death. The old manager had done his part and no longer tried to persuade him. He asked, “”These two are ...”

“What do you think?” Xu Qi ‘an joked.

These words made the old manager silent and a little embarrassed. Mother and sister? No, he wasn’t that young. Moreover, there was no motherly love or filial piety between them.

A married couple? Well, that young girl might be the wife of this master, and the beautiful woman might be his mother-in-law ... What about The Girl in the Yellow Dress from yesterday?

The old manager’s eyes were quite sharp, but he couldn’t figure out the relationship between the two.

“The older one is my aunt, and the two younger ones are my younger sisters.” After Xu Qi ‘an finished speaking, he saw the old manager’s surprised expression. He smiled and said, “”What’s the matter?”

The old manager shook his head, thinking that he had never seen anyone buy a house with their sister and aunt.

This was because the aunt was definitely his uncle’s wife. She was a member of the clan and not a family member. He had never seen anyone bring their aunt and cousin to look at houses.

....

Even though her aunt was harsh with her words and said that the house was useless, she was actually very satisfied. It was also a three-entry mansion, but the area was much larger than the Xu estate in the outer city, and the layout could not be mentioned in the same breath.

The Xu family’s layout was for the common people, not as high-end and Grand as here. If one had to distinguish between them, it would probably be the rural homestead and the high-end villa in the city.

Although they were all detached houses with several floors, their grades were different.

It took an hour to look through the entire house in detail. Aunt and Xu lingyue were very excited, and the latter had even secretly decided on her own house.

“I’m afraid five thousand taels can’t buy it in this location,” his aunt probed.

She picked on the price to lower it. After shopping, she suddenly realized that five thousand taels was too cheap, and the intelligent aunt noticed that something was wrong.

Xu Qi ‘an pointed at the well not far away. “There was a ghost in the well. Yes, there really was a ghost. Miss Caiwei and I have already verified it.”

With two exclamations, Xu lingyue and her aunt retreated behind Xu Qi ‘an in fear. The former’s small hands tightly grabbed her brother’s sleeve.

Ghost?

Xu lingying was also very afraid. She ran to her brother’s crotch with her short legs and hid. Then she looked at the well and swallowed in fear.

The auntie’s pretty face was a little pale, and she didn’t want to stay any longer.”I’m not buying anymore. Let’s go back.”

She held her daughter’s hand in each hand and walked out of the house quickly. Because she walked so fast, her body swayed.

The old manager looked at Xu Qi ‘an with a frown. “Are you making fun of me?”

Xu Qi ‘an waved his hand. cut the crap. Go to the broker and pay the deposit.

He didn’t say that he had dealt with the female ghost. He was afraid that the broker would set the price on the land. Before he got the title deed and the land deed, this would still be a haunted house.

The carriage stopped outside the broker, and in it sat his aunt and two younger sisters. When she heard that Xu Qi ‘an had gone to pay the deposit, his aunt was very angry.

I won’t stay there. Let him live alone in the haunted house. That little rascal just doesn’t want us to take advantage of him. His aunt said angrily.

“Big brother isn’t that kind of person,” Xu lingyue shook her mother’s arm.

As they were talking, Xu Qi ‘an came out and jumped onto the coachman’s seat. He lifted the curtain and stuck half of his head in.”It’s almost noon. Let’s go to the guiyue restaurant for lunch.”

His aunt turned her face away.

the female ghost in the house has been taken care of, ” Xu Qi ‘an explained. even if you don’t believe me, the astrologer of Imperial astronomer should believe me, right? ”

Xu lingyue nodded sweetly.

The aunt was shocked and stared at Xu Qi ‘an. “Really?”

“Why would I lie to Auntie?”

He drove to the guiyue restaurant and asked for a private room. Xu Qi ‘an took out a small Jade Mirror and sent a message, “[ number two, I remember you said that you were investigating the mastermind behind the Yunzhou bandits. ]

...

After sending the mail, he placed the mirror upside down on the table and lowered his head to eat. After a while, a message notification came.

[ 2: Yes, in the process of exterminating the bandits, I found that the various strongholds had stored a lot of supplies. These things aren’t things that mountain bandits can get their hands on. I suspect that there’s a power supporting them from behind. ]

Xu Qi ‘an nodded slightly. The so-called supplies referred to military supplies, including equipment and machinery.

This topic piqued number Four’s interest. As a former official of great Feng, he was more concerned about the situation in the great Feng dynasty.

[ 4: we can try to start with the local government of Yunzhou. By the way, I remember that Yunzhou has a vassal king. ]

[ 2: your Prince is just a Prince without any real power. I’ve investigated him, and there’s no problem. ]

[ 3: how did you investigate? ]

[ two: send someone to monitor the king’s residence. ]

.... You call this an investigation? It was too crude. Xu Qian ridiculed him in his heart and sent him a letter.[ I know the mastermind behind the Yunzhou banditry. ]

“???”

A series of question marks flashed across number 2 and number 4’s minds.

...

What information DID number three get? Why did number three always get so much information? The news from the capital was one thing, since it was his “territory.” However, Yunzhou had nothing to do with him.

I’ve been investigating for so long without any clues. How could he know the mastermind behind the Yunzhou bandits ... Number two knew number three’s character very well and had always thought that he was a scholar of high moral character. He did not question him and instead sent a letter solemnly, ”

[ 2: what’s going on? hmm, number 3, tell me the inside information. I’ll owe you a favor. ]

[ three: heh, no need. I admire your character. This information is free. ]

When the relationship was not deep, it was necessary to talk about business and put an end to white silk. After getting familiar with each other, they would develop feelings and reduce the transactions of interests between them.

Free things were the most expensive, because the thing that replaced the transaction was feelings. When their friendship grew deeper and deeper, the White Phoenix would appear ... No, how could friends be white-faced? it was mutual help.

This time, No. 2 had received news from him. Tomorrow, he would receive No. 2.

[ three: it’s the witchcraft religion in the northeast. The witchcraft religion is the mastermind behind the bandits in Yunzhou. [ hmm, my information may not be accurate. No. 2, you can use it as a reference. ] contemporary romance

Even if the witchcraft cult wasn’t the mastermind behind Yunzhou’s banditry, they were most likely involved. Xu Qi ‘an had revealed this matter to number two and had planned to let number two investigate it.

The witchcraft cult was the driving force behind the bandits in Yunzhou? Number 2 stared at the text message in the small Jade Mirror and was silent for a long time.[ how did you know? what channel did you use? [ well, I’m not testing you. I just want to know the authenticity of the news. ]

[ three: don’t worry. Last night, the night watchman discovered a stronghold of the witchcraft cult in the capital city. They have close contact with the Minister of Works ... ]

He roughly explained the matter but didn’t go into too much detail. After all, his identity was a student of Yun Lu Academy and not a night watchman who was involved in the case. The main point was that the Minister of Works provided artillery, equipment, and other military supplies to the witchcraft cult.

So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is ... Number 2 clenched his fist in excitement and sent a message, “[ this piece of information is very important to me. It confirms one of my previous guesses. Thank you. I’m suddenly upset that Daoist priest Golden Lotus didn’t pull you into the Heaven and Earth Society earlier. ]

[ 9: let’s talk about serious business, don’t blackmail. ]

After a short pause, Golden Lotus Daoist priest sent a letter.However, the witch God religion is secretly supporting the bandits in Yunzhou. It doesn’t mean much to them. ]

[ four: yes, Yunzhou is in the southeast while the witchcraft cult’s territory is in the northeast. The two places are thousands of miles apart. ]

Whether it was a military alliance or trade, neither was realistic.

‘That’s what I’m wondering ...’ Xu Qi ‘an sent a letter. number two, you can try to check it out. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to find out the truth.

At this moment, number one, who liked to peek, jumped out. [ the matter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works reminds me of a detail in the Sang Bo case.

[ the gunpowder was secretly buried in the temple of Yongzhen mountain and river through the former minister of rites, Centurion Zhou, and the convenience of his position in the ancestral worship ceremony. Then who lit the fire? ]

[ 2. Imperial Army? ]

[ 3. He’s not from the Imperial Army. If he was, the night watchman would have found out long ago. All the patrols that night were sacrificed, and those who were not on patrol had alibis ... Furthermore, the minister of rites can not order the Imperial Army around. ]

[ two: why? ]

[ 1. This is a secret of the Imperial court. ]

What classified information of the Imperial court. wasn’t it just that Emperor Yuan jing would ask the astrologers of the Imperial Army to check on the Imperial Army’s inner secrets every month? Xu Qian complained in his heart.

His heart moved, and some clues suddenly connected, as if he had opened up the conception and Governor vessels.[ number one, do you mean that the people from the witchcraft cult have ignited the explosives in the mountain river temple of Yongzhen? ]

[ one: yes. ]

[ 9: it’s a paper man, right? ]

[ one: Daoist priest, you’re so sure? ]

[ nine: ha, the paper puppet technique was spread by the Taoist sect, so I naturally know. The paper man’s ability was weak, just a little stronger than an ant, and it could hide from the perception of a martial artist. It was not difficult to sneak into the temple of mountains and rivers in Yongzhen without a sound. [ but paper figurines can be used as a medium to ignite gunpowder. ]

[ one: that is to say, the demon clan and the witch God sect were involved in the Sang Bo case. [ then the Qi party must also know about this? ]

[ three: that can’t be right. The Qi party and the wizard God religion are only in a cooperative relationship. They aren’t superior and subordinate. The wizard God religion can’t possibly tell the Qi party everything. ]

[ one: but one thing is for sure. The witchcraft cult has an affair with the demon clan. ]

The demons had destroyed the Sang po to obtain the sealed artifact. What was the witch God sect’s motive? It shouldn’t be monk Shen Shu’s broken hand. Otherwise, if there was a conflict of interest, both parties would fight ... As Xu Qi ‘an thought about it, he reached out with his chopsticks to pick up some food, but he ended up empty.

There wasn’t much food to begin with, but the mother-daughter trio had already finished it. The little Bean’s face was red from eating.

“.... She’s just like Yan Caiwei.” Xu Qi ‘an cursed and called for the waiter to add more dishes.

After the meal, they left the guiyue restaurant. His aunt and lingyue entered the carriage first. Xu lingying saw someone selling malt candy across the street. She tugged at her brother’s pants and pitifully asked him to buy it for her.

Xu Qi ‘an took her hand and went to buy some. He said, “”The malt candy is too hard. Be careful not to break your teeth.”

The little boy was an expert in the field of food. He raised his little eyebrows.”Sugar becomes soft in the mouth. Big brother doesn’t even know this.”

[ author’s note: PS: I know that some people have been waiting for updates until midnight. I’m sorry to have made you wait so long. ] However, I’ve been working hard until now. I’ve been writing and didn’t break my promise.
