My brother is wicked in the five elements

Chapter 111 What Happened?

Chang'an Avenue is connected with narrow evils, with green cattle, white horses and seven fragrant chariots.

The prosperity of the Tang Empire has long been known all over the world.

Among them, the capital of Chang'an is the most famous. The vertical and horizontal avenues connect the alleys, extending in all directions, and there is an endless stream of fragrant chariots and horses.

Since Chang'an is located at the junction of the fairyland and the mortal world, the monks in this city walk everywhere, but most of them are casual cultivators with no family or sect.

When Xu Tianming came to Chang'an, it coincided with the season when the flowers in Shanglin Garden were in full bloom, and the city was crowded with people who admired the flowers.On the wide streets, there are vendors pushing carts with various snacks, rich ladies who buy rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry, and talented people who gather in twos and threes to discuss which Goulan to go to for inspiration tonight.
Xu Tianming could feel the smell of fireworks in the world here.

"Wow, mochi!" Yang Liuhua pointed at a stall with rice glutinous rice in a tin bucket, and shouted while tugging at Xu Tianming's sleeve.

Seeing the stars shining in her eyes, I'm afraid her saliva is about to flow out.

Helpless, Xu Tianming immediately went over and bought twenty mochi from the vendor.

The steaming, sweet and glutinous mochi is cut into the brown sugar sand and rolled, and wrapped in a thick layer of brown sugar, the fragrance is overflowing in an instant.

Yang Liuhua put mochi into her mouth with a smile on her face, and walked slowly behind Xu Tianming.

"Tianxun Mansion is on the east side of Chang'an, about two or three miles away from the gate of the imperial palace." Li Yan held a map in her hand and said while studying it.

"That's not far away." Xu Tianming said as he walked on Chang'an Avenue, watching the tall buildings all around him.

Xu Tianming's task this time is to disguise himself as a police officer of the Tianxun Mansion, and use his position to investigate the emergence of the demonic energy in Chang'an.Zongmen has arranged a brand new identity for him, and he only needs to report to Tianxun Mansion with the customs clearance document.

After walking for a while, Tianxun Mansion arrived.

The two majestic stone lions at the door, together with the red and vermilion lacquered round arched gate, look very lively.

Xu Tianming handed over the customs clearance document to the gatekeeper.

After the inspection was correct, the yamen servant returned the customs clearance document to Xu Tianming, and let them enter the Tianxun Mansion.

Xu Tianming and his party just walked a few steps inside.

A black, thin, crooked old man wearing a copper money robe and a mustache suddenly blocked their way with his hand.

This person is the master of Tianxun Mansion, Qian Guangyun.

"Are you guys also here to apply for arrest?" Qian Guangyun's tone was very arrogant.

"Ah, yes." Xu Tianming nodded.

"Show me the document." Qian Guangyun stretched out a hand in front of Xu Tianming.

Xu Tianming obediently handed over the customs clearance document.

After flipping through the documents, Qian Guangyun sneered and said to Xu Tianming in a mocking tone.

"Hmph, from Qingping County, your background is a bit shabby, how about you donate 20 taels of snowflake silver, and I will let you be the fast catcher."

Xu Tianming was stunned for a moment, then asked immediately.

"Why do you want to donate money to the police?"

Qian Guangyun smacked his lips, and looked at Xu Tianming with the look of a fool: "How fresh, how can there be an official position that doesn't require donations?"

As he spoke, Qian Guangyun took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket, shook them in front of Xu Tianming, and said.

"See? These are the money donated by the new arresters of Tianxun Mansion this year. As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. If you donate these 20 taels of silver to become a catcher, you will be able to pay back in a year or two , In the next ten years or decades, ten taels of silver will come into the account every year. This is a profitable business! Young man, think about it.” Qian Guangyun picked up the tea bowl on the table and blew He blew, took a sip, moistened his throat, and looked at Xu Tianming with a triumphant expression.

In Datang today, it has become common practice to donate or buy officials.

If you donate silver, you can go to work, and if you have the opportunity, you can fill the gap.Wait when there is no shortage.But he also went to the Yamen to respond.

Although it is a small official position to be a fast catcher, there is a bit of oil and water, and this works well, so Qian Guangyun secretly started this lucrative business.Over the course of a year, several hundred taels were credited.

He saw that the newcomer was dressed plainly and looked average, so he certainly couldn't be a son of a rich family. People like this are often the most short of money, and getting money from them is as easy as drinking water .
"Hey, my aunt and grandma." Encountering this almost half-way robbery, Li Yan's eyes widened and she was furious, wanting to draw her sword and chop off the man's head.

Xu Tianming held out a hand to stop Li Yan, because three options appeared in front of him.

[Option 20: Make a compromise and hand in [-] taels of snowflake silver.Obtain reward: Suzaku Burning Jue (Xuan Rank Low Grade)]

[Option [-]: The world is going downhill and morality is degrading. It's worth not to do this kind of arrest.Obtain reward: Yulong Jue (Yellow Rank Middle Grade)]

[Option 1: Take the bank notes and enter the Yamen of Tianxun Mansion.Obtain reward: random attribute +[-]]

Xu Tianming didn't say a word, in front of Qian Guangyun, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he directly took the stack of bank notes from Qian Guangyun's hand with a "whoosh" and put it in his arms, and then As if nothing happened, he walked towards the Yamen of Tianxun Mansion.

[The option has been completed, reward: alchemy +1]

'Give it up directly! '

Li Yan and Yang Liuhua took a breath and looked at each other, seeing the approving look of "You really deserve to be a senior brother" in each other's eyes, and then they followed Xu Tianming's pace.

"."

Qian Guangyun watched all this happen in a daze, because he was so surprised that he hadn't recovered from it for a long time.

It wasn't until Xu Tianming walked into the Yamen that he realized that he had been robbed of money.

"In broad daylight, the world is bright! How dare you rob the Tianxun mansion! It's so bold and lawless!" Qian Guangyun gritted his teeth and chased after him into the yamen.

The master book roughly read the customs clearance document at a glance, ten lines at a glance, and after finding that there was nothing wrong, he stamped it with a red stamp, and asked the yamen servant to bring Xu Tianming a set of gray police uniforms, and asked him to report to the yamen on another day.

Xu Tianming took the police uniform and agreed.

At this moment, Qian Guangyun, who was furious, rushed into the yamen, searching around for the figure of the person who robbed him of the bank note just now.

Seeing Master Qian's loss of composure, the master secretary stood up in surprise and asked, "Master, what happened?"

When Qian Guangyun saw Xu Tianming, he was about to accuse him of robbery, but suddenly he was taken aback.

He thought that if this matter was revealed, then people would also know that he made money in the name of donating officials. At that time, he was Qian Guangyun who was in jail.
"Oh, it's nothing." Qian Guangyun said with a smile as the corner of his mouth twitched.

"If you have nothing to do, run slowly. Once you are old, you will be gone after a fall." Xu Tianming looked at Qian Guangyun shaking his head and sighing, with an expression that I said that because I cared about you.

"you!"

The money was robbed, and he dared to say that he was old, Qian Guangyun's lips trembled.
