Chapter 309

The night watchman's invitation … inviting me?

Xu Qi 'an found it hard to believe. He maintained his silence and was not in a hurry to speak.

"You are a talent. At the back hall of the government office, I already confirmed it. But the night watchman has rules, and the Qi Realm is the bottom line. "Li Yuchun changed to a casual sitting position and was not as aggressive as before.

"As the protector of Daibun, the protector of His Majesty, it is normal to have higher requirements.

"But you used your own abilities to prove that even in the Spirit Refinement Realm, the night watchman is willing to recruit you."

Is it because my methods are dirty enough and my thoughts are meticulous enough that an exception was made to recruit me?

Yes, this silver gong with half southern barbaric blood had expressed great admiration for me when he solved the tax silver case.

The other silver gong with a stern expression added, "Of course, the main reason is that Princess Royal recommended you."

Princess Royal?! Xu Qi 'an was shocked again.

Who was Princess Royal? Why did she recommend me? I don't even know her. Uh … I did hear of her in Yunlu Academy.

But we have never met. Why did she recommend me to the night watchman?

Xu Qi 'an was full of puzzlement. The two silver gongs did not seem to have any plans to answer his questions. Or maybe they themselves did not know.

"Other than this, the reason the two daren did not report me is …"

Li Yuchun said with a smile, "You should know the duty of the night watchman."

Supervising the officials … Assistant Minister Zhou who had embezzled the money of the national treasury was not on the same side as the night watchman. In fact, Assistant Minister Zhou's downfall had been aided by the night watchman's organization … Xu Qi 'an understood.

"Assistant Minister Zhou will be finished sooner or later. We have already started to deal with him. Your little scheme helped us speed up the process," the silver gong said with a stern expression.

Li Yuchun glanced at him and said, "Official Sun, according to our previous agreement, I will take this person. Please give us some space to talk."

Yin Luo did not leave. Instead, he stared at Xu Qi 'an and said, "You have the right to choose. Follow him or follow me."

"The difference in power between the two of us is not large, but he is a stubborn person and does not know how to be flexible. If he follows his gong, he will be able to buy a pretty good courtyard in the inner city in at most three years."

Work for three years, a house in the capital … such a temptation … Xu Qi 'an tactfully refused Sun Yinluo's offer and said,

"During the tax case, Lord Li gave me a chance to redeem myself. I have always remembered this kindness, and I want to work under him."

This was just one reason. The other reason was that he was not willing to go against his conscience to do things to him.

Sun Yinluo nodded slightly and praised, "It's a good thing to know how to repay kindness."

He left immediately.

After the door closed, Li Yuchun pointed to the chair opposite him and smiled warmly. "Have a seat. Let me introduce myself. I am Li Yuchun, your boss from now on. You can address me as such. If you are not used to it, you can call me Lord Li. "

"Can I call you Brother Chun?" Xu Qi 'an sat down and cautiously called out, "Master Li."

"When you work under me, you must have a clear conscience. Remember this." Once Li Yuchun gave him a warning, he began to introduce the organization of the night watchmen.

"You must have a clear conscience when working under me. Remember this." Li Yuchun warned him and began to introduce the night watchman organization. The second was Tong Gong, who was a proper night watchman. He was at least in the Qi Refining Realm. His monthly salary was five taels of silver and two stone meters of rice. Above them was Yin Gong, who enjoyed the privileges of a hundred households.

"Above the silver gong is the golden gong, which is the highest position. There are only ten Golden Gongs in Great Feng's capital, and they listen to Duke Wei. "

There are only ten Jinluo in the capital of Daibun, and they are directly under Duke Wei. "

"The duty of the night watchman is to supervise the officials and protect the capital. Xu Qi 'an nodded. He knew that Wei Yuan was the leader of the night watchman organization.

"You are now at the peak of the Spirit Refining State. I have two suggestions. First, accumulate merit points slowly and wait for an opportunity. Second, pay me four hundred taels of silver and I will help you open the Gate of Heaven. "

Xu Qi 'an answered without hesitation, "I choose the second one."

Li Yuchun squinted, "You are quite rich."

"The Celestial Commissioner's Miss Caiwei lent it to me." Xu Qi 'an blamed the big-eyed beauty.

Li Yuchun nodded, "I will arrange for you to change your household registration and go through the relevant procedures."

After he finished speaking, he went out. After a while, he came back with the squinty-eyed young man and the serious young man.

"Song Tingfeng." The man, whose eyes squinted when he smiled, introduced himself. He looked Xu Qi 'an up and down. "You're not bad. You came in and became my colleague?"

"Zhu Guangxiao." The unsmiling young man did not say anything else after that.

Xu Qi 'an followed them to go through the employment procedures. On the way, Song Tingfeng chatted casually,

"It's generally easier to work with Boss Li. There aren't as many plots and schemes. The disadvantage is that you have to be careful when making money. It doesn't matter if you are a little greedy, but don't go too far. "

"Then can you give me back the thirty taels of silver?" Xu Qi 'an stared at him sincerely.

Song Tingfeng looked back with a more sincere look, "When did I take your money?"

… Bitch! Xu Qi 'an grinned, "Oh, I remember wrong."

"By the way, we are going to the Musical House tonight. Do you want to go together?" Song Tingfeng sent an invitation.

"I hate this kind of decadent official communication the most …" Xu Qi 'an smiled, "Okay."

After the procedures, Song Tingfeng led him to the depth of the government office and explained, "After joining the night watchman, there is another process, which is to test your aptitude."

"Test your aptitude?" Xu Qi 'an imagined the scene of putting his hand on a crystal to test his level of Qi.

"It's the rules and procedures set by Duke Wei," Song Tingfeng said, "They are 'intelligence', 'strength', and 'self-examination'."

As he spoke, they came to the front of an attic, crossed the high threshold, and entered the hall on the first floor. There were two lines of poetry hanging on the load-bearing pillar:

Willing to serve Sha Chen with all my heart.

Not for my own benefit.

"This was written by Duke Wei to warn us and warn us," Song Tingfeng said.

"Obviously, this is useless." Xu Qi 'an glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. His words seemed to be implying something.

Song Tingfeng pretended not to understand and led him inside. "You are now in the Spirit Refining Realm, so you don't need to test your combat strength. Test your intelligence first. "

He summoned the officials in the attic and gave them an order.

After a while, two officials came in, each holding a brocade box.

Song Tingfeng smiled, "One of the brocade boxes in their hands is empty, and the other has something in it. You can choose one of them to question, but you can only ask one question. "

"And among them, one will only tell lies, and the other will only tell the truth."

Song Tingfeng laughed, "You have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to think, I can't give you any hints."

Zhu Guangxiao reminded him concisely, "This question is very difficult, think carefully."

Song Tingfeng nodded, "Although Duke Wei said this is only a small game, there are very few people who can guess it correctly. Although I understood it afterwards, it was already the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

"It's said that only the masters of Jinluo can understand this question in twenty breaths."

The official lit an incense stick and placed it at the side.

I don't know how many times I've tried this kind of simple logic question in my past life.

Xu Qi 'an turned to ask the official on his left, "If you were him, what would you tell me?"

The official was a little confused, as if he didn't expect Xu Qi 'an to ask such a question. After thinking for a while, he said in a muffled voice, "There's nothing."

Xu Qi 'an nodded, and reached out to press the brocade box in the hands of the yamen runner on his right, "The thing is in this brocade box."

Song Tingfeng opened his mouth, and looked stiffly at his expressionless companion, "How long?"

Zhu Guangxiao's tone was a little gloomy, "Not counting the time it takes for the official to be stunned, twelve breaths …"

The air was silent for a second, and Song Tingfeng cupped his hands and shook his head helplessly, "You can solve the tax fraud case, it's not luck."

He knew of Xu Qi 'an. Li Yuchun was one of the main judges of the tax fraud case, and at that time, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao were working tirelessly to track down the non-existent monster.

After the tax fraud case was solved, as a participant in the case, he naturally knew of Xu Qi 'an's existence.
