Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 114 Sister, Let's Go to the Inn
Yu Chilan returned to Tsing Yi Pavilion and reported the matter to Jiang Feili.

Jiang Feili sighed softly and said, "Don't bother with Wu Ziqing's affairs anymore, just keep an eye on his door for a few days, and just ask Commander Zhong to return."

Yu Chilan said: "He committed crimes in the street and almost beat people to death. Based on this, you still can't bring him down?"

"Silly girl, don't say you were almost killed, you were really killed. You are just a servant, and you want to bring down Wu Ziqing? You think things are too simple."

Yu Chi Lan said unconvinced: "Shouldn't this matter be taken care of?"

"What the hell?" Jiang Feili frowned and said, "Do you think you're going to fight against violence? Tell Xu Zhiqiong to do his part in this matter, and stop causing trouble for his family!"

Yu Chilan walked out of the attic sullenly.

Jiang Feili secretly took out the "Spring Painting" under the table.

Li Shabai's authentic work was bought at a huge price.

After learning all these, he must like it.

But this... can you learn it?
What are these means?
This is, too, embarrassing.

……

Yu Chilan went to Che'er Teahouse in the south of the city to find Xu Zhiqiong. This was the place they had agreed to meet.

Che'er Tea House is a serious tea house, this tea house is famous for flute art, the shopkeeper hired [-] musicians to study Dong Xiao with the guests, all of them are serious music.

Really music.

Xu Zhiqiong called a private room to wait on the second floor. He knew that there was another female guest on the second floor, and this guest had been with him for most of the day.

Who would she be?

Simply speculate and there will be a conclusion.

Xu Zhiqiong had just taught Zhang Zhuyang a lesson before, and now he is looking for Wu Ziqing again.

These two censors belong to the Sixth Princess, and the Sixth Princess must not be left alone.

She sent someone over to spy on me.

Her stalking skills are pretty good, but the judge's anti-stalking ability is too strong, Xu Zhiqiong saw her through, but he still doesn't want to get rid of her yet.

If she gets rid of her, the sixth princess will send other people to follow her. If she fails to find out in time, it will be a big trouble.

Halfway through, Yu Chilan came to the tea house and conveyed Jiang Feili's intentions to Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong poured a cup of tea for his senior sister. This tea was carefully brewed by Xu Zhiqiong. The tea soup is white and bright, which belongs to top grade.

It's a pity that the elder sister is not very good at tea art, so she didn't look at it carefully, she drank it in one gulp, wiped her mouth after drinking, and said, "Zhiqiong, what do you think about this matter?"

Xu Zhiqiong went on to order tea: "Didn't Jiang Shaoshi say that you don't let me take care of it?"

"Then we don't care?"

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Yu Chilan and said: "You are from Qingyi Pavilion, Jiang Shaoshi has to listen to what Jiang Shaoshi says, but I have to take care of this matter."

"Why do you care?"

Xu Zhiqiong poured another cup of tea for the elder sister: "For the sake of the yamen, I can't let the young people wantonly slander, and for the sake of heaven, I can't let the shameless people ignore human lives."

Yu Chilan said: "Didn't the servant also be killed?"

"He killed three servants before. This kind of people, relying on their reputation, have become murderous."

Yu Chilan picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp.

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Senior Sister, take a closer look, this is the tea that I ordered carefully!"

"It's so beautiful!" Yu Chilan put down the cup and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Senior Sister, you don't need to ask, Jiang Shaoshi told you not to worry about it, just go home and rest."

"That won't work. Jiang Shaoshi said that you still have to do your duty. I will listen to you whatever you say."

"Listen to me?"

Yu Chilan nodded.

"Let's go to Fuyuan Inn."

The senior sister was taken aback: "Why are you going to the inn?"

"Sleep, is it possible to sleep in the tea house tonight?"

"If you don't go home, why sleep in an inn?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Tonight I'm going to Wu Ziqing's mansion to find out what's true. You should go to the inn with me to sleep first the night before."

"I'll go to the inn with you, sleep..."

Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Xu Zhiqiong!" The senior sister was furious and crushed the teacup, "I treat you with sincerity, how dare you play tricks on me?"

"Senior sister, why did you say that?"

"I'm a girl, why are you going to the inn with you? You're clearly ashamed of me! I'm leaving, and I'll never see you again!"

Xu Zhiqiong stood up, and said righteously: "Senior sister, this is for business, and it is also for the sake of heaven!"

……

Half an hour later, Yu Chilan and Xu Zhiqiong arrived at Fuyuan Inn.

Fuyuan Inn is very close to Wu Ziqing's residence, only half a street away.

Xu Zhiqiong only called one of the upper rooms.

After entering the room, Yu Chilan said angrily: "If you are short of money, just tell me, you only need one room, how can I sleep?"

Xu Zhiqiong pointed to the bed and said, "You sleep inside, I sleep outside."

"Bah!" The senior sister spat.

"How about we switch, I'll sleep in..."

"Xu Zhiqiong, if I say one more word to you, my surname will not be Yuchi!"

The senior sister was furious, and turned to leave the room, Xu Zhiqiong got up and said: "Senior sister, why don't you know my painstaking efforts, I did this because I was afraid that others would be suspicious!"

……

At night, Yu Chilan hugged the quilt and sat on the ground in a daze, while Xu Zhiqiong sat on the bed, reading a book by a candle.

He is studying "The Enlightenment of the Magic Circle" seriously. Although it is an enlightenment book, the difficulty of this book is even greater than that of "The Scroll of Gu Hua".

In the blink of an eye, when it was Haishi, Xu Zhiqiong stretched his waist and put away the book: "Senior Sister, it's late at night, it's almost time to go to bed."

Yu Chilan put the long sword beside the pillow, looked at Xu Zhiqiong viciously and said, "I know you have been promoted to the eighth rank, but don't think that I can't beat you. If you dare to come here tonight, I will cut your arms and legs to pieces !"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Then what if you come here?"

"If I go over there, you, you just...what am I going to do in the past!"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled, rolled over and fell asleep.

Yu Chilan hugged the quilt, wanting to sleep but afraid to sleep.

"When you were in the academy, you were such a loyal and honest person, why did you go to the Lantern Yamen and become like this?

No wonder our Jiang Shaoshi said, you Qianhu are not good people, let us stay away from Qianhu. The last time Su Xiujuan walked closer to him, she was beaten by Shaoshi. Shaoshi wholeheartedly protected us , it's not like you thousands of households, who lead you to misbehave every day...

I know, it’s not doing anything wrong, I know you’re doing good things, but I’m a little scared, I’ve only killed someone once, and I couldn’t sleep for days, but I heard that you didn’t blink your eyes when you killed someone,

I know what you're doing is a good thing, but, but I'm really scared... are you listening to me? "

Xu Zhiqiong didn't listen and fell into a deep sleep.

Yu Chilan was very angry, she turned her back and lay down.

Outside the door of the room, a woman squatted on the porch, quietly listening to the movement in the room.

Her name is Tao Huayuan.

Xu Zhiqiong guessed right, she is one of the most powerful Red Clothes Envoys in the Red Clothes Pavilion.

But there was one thing that Xu Zhiqiong guessed wrong. Xu Zhiqiong thought that Tao Huayuan was here to monitor him, so he purposely stayed in the inn with his senior sister to tie Tao Huayuan.

But Tao Huayuan didn't come to monitor Xu Zhiqiong, she came to kill Xu Zhiqiong under the order of the sixth princess.

Listening to Yu Chilan's thoughts, Tao Huayuan smiled slightly.

And when you fake couples are all asleep, I will send you on the road together, and I hope you will be a real couple in the underworld.

……

A mouse crawled into Wu Ziqing's mansion.

Wu Ziqing has always been known for his honesty and honesty. His mansion is extremely simple. There are no artificial hills or gardens in the yard, only a few water tanks and various dried vegetables.

This mansion is not only plain, but also quiet.

Wu Ziqing's family rules were very strict. After nightfall, no one except him and his mother was allowed to use lamps and candles. It was dark and they had to sleep, and they had to fall asleep, and they couldn't make a sound.

It is the Wu family's custom not to speak while eating or sleeping. In the tea house, Xu Zhiqiong heard that a maid went to the toilet in the middle of the night and made a loud noise, and was severely beaten by Wu Ziqing.

It was also heard that a domestic servant who talked in his sleep was beaten severely the next day and almost lost his life.

Walking in this yard is like walking in a cemetery, the silence is depressing.

Now Wu Ziqing has also fallen asleep, the front yard and the backyard are pitch black, Xu Zhiqiong wants to go to Wu Ziqing's bedroom to see.

He wanted to see what Wu Ziqing was doing in the bedroom at night.

He wanted to see how such a well-mannered person slept.

Just as Xu Zhiqiong was about to sneak in through the crack of the door, the door suddenly opened, and a woman stepped out, almost stepping on Xu Zhiqiong.

Look at your feet!Human life is at stake!

The woman tiptoed out of the bedroom, sneaking around in the middle of the night. Could it be that she and Wu Ziqing were having an affair?
Xu Zhiqiong thought too much, this woman is missing an arm.

She is Wu Ziqing's first wife, Huang Shi, who had an arm chopped off by Wu Ziqing three years ago.

Where is she going?

Xu Zhiqiong followed Huang to the kitchen, and saw Huang took a steamed bun, hid it in his arms, brought another bowl of water, and walked quietly to the backyard.

In the backyard, the woman walked cautiously to the woodshed, and Xu Zhiqiong quickly found a corner to hide.

There are people behind.

Wu Ziqing followed.

It's strange, the sin karma on his head has grown an inch, what did he do again?
Seeing the woman walk to the door of the firewood room, Wu Ziqing grabbed the woman by the hair and dragged her back.

The water bowl fell to the ground with a crisp sound and shattered.

An old woman's voice came from the main room in the backyard: "In the middle of the night, everyone is damned alive, what's the fuss? I'm still sick, why can't I have a moment of peace!"

Wu Ziqing grabbed Huang's hair, pulled it hard twice, and replied: "It's okay, mother, you can rest."

After speaking, he dragged Mrs. Huang back to the front yard.

Guessing that Mrs. Huang will be beaten, Xu Zhiqiong turned his attention to the woodshed.

Mrs. Huang came to deliver food, which proved that there were people in the woodshed.

Who is in the firewood room?

Xu Zhiqiong went into the firewood room, and saw a seven or eight-year-old girl, unkempt, curled up beside the firewood pile.

The little girl's face was full of tears, but she didn't dare to cry out. Seeing a mouse appearing in front of her, she trembled with fright.

This is Wu Ziqing's maid?Or someone else?

Shut her up in the woodshed, but will she starve to death?
How could a child of seven or eight offend him?

How many crimes will this guy commit?

Seeing that the little girl's lips were cracked and her face was sallow, it seemed that she hadn't eaten for a long time.

Xu Zhiqiong ran back to the kitchen, jumped onto the stove, took a bowl in his mouth, fetched some water, and sent it to the woodshed.

Not to mention, it's really not easy for this mouse to pick up the bowl, even though it's a small bowl, Xu Zhiqiong's eyes are full of stars even though he's tired.

The little girl stared at the water bowl and licked her lips, but she dared not drink.

drink it!

Are you not thirsty?

I spent so much effort to bring it here, but you still don’t want to drink it?
She is really afraid of mice.

Xu Zhiqiong got out of the firewood room, and brought back a steamed bun in the blink of an eye.

The water in the bowl was empty, and the little girl drank it.

Xu Zhiqiong put the steamed buns on the ground, took the bowl in his mouth, and fetched water.

When she came back, the little girl was lying on the ground, rolling her eyes.

She choked.

Xu Zhiqiong brought over the water bowl, and the little girl drank a couple of sips before sending down the steamed buns.

After repeating this, the little girl drank three bowls of water and ate two steamed buns, and somewhat regained her vitality.

She stared at the mouse with dark eyes.

The mouse flicked its tail, ignored her, and took the bowl to the kitchen.

There was a sound of beating in the front yard. Wu Ziqing was beating Mrs. Huang, but Xu Zhiqiong ignored it.

He went to Wu Ziqing's study to see what mystery he could find out.

The seniors in charge of the yamen once introduced the experience that many officials like to hide the account books in the study.

If this trip can find evidence of Wu Ziqing's corruption and perverting the law, he won't have to worry about not being able to bring him down!

There are various Confucian classics displayed in the study room. Wu Ziqing has no cultivation level, but Confucianism has literary examinations. People without cultivation level can also obtain fame as long as they are rich in knowledge.

Xu Zhiqiong walked through the bookshelves for a long time, but he didn't find the account book, but he noticed a strange book.

This book is called "Li Xun". It is a book in Confucianism that specifically talks about etiquette and rules. It belongs to enlightenment readings and is very common in the market.

It's just because it's so common that I find it strange that a basic Confucianism textbook has many creases on the cover, and it's about to be torn apart.

Does Wu Ziqing like this children's book so much?

Xu Zhiqiong opened this book, and the first two pages were nothing special. Xu Zhiqiong had also read "Ritual Training" in the academy: the king's words, the minister should not violate, a little disobedience, the minister's way is not good , the father's words, the son should not violate, a little disobedience, the son's way is at a disadvantage...

Bullshit!

The king ordered you to kill your father, what should you do?

After reading two pages, Xu Zhiqiong didn't want to read any more.

But when he turned to the third page, Xu Zhiqiong discovered a problem.

This page is not "Etiquette".

The content of this page is:
"If the husband is not angry, there will be no rules in the family, and if there are no rules, there will be no education.

Where do regulations come from?Regulations are blood neutral.

A son knows filial piety by blood, a woman knows obedience by blood, a servant knows fear by blood, and a husband can stand in the world only by drinking blood in anger. "

What is this?
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to turn a few more pages, when he heard footsteps outside the door.

Xu Zhiqiong quickly put the book back to its original place, and quietly hid in a corner.

Wu Ziqing entered the study, took out the "Ritual Training" from the bookshelf, and started to read it.

Just after turning two pages, Wu Ziqing noticed something strange, the book seemed to have been tampered with.

He searched the study for a while, but found no trace, quickly put the book in his arms, and left the study in a hurry.

Xu Zhiqiong hid in the dark, quietly recalling what he saw just now.

"Drinking blood in anger can stand in the sky..."

Nufu Sect, Wu Ziqing is a member of Nufu Sect.

……

Fuyuan Inn, the room on the second floor, the door opened a gap.

A puff of green smoke drifted in, and Tao Huayuan appeared along with the smoke.

She looked at Xu Zhiqiong lying on the bed, and then at Yu Chilan lying on the ground.

She silently came behind Yu Chilan, pulled out the golden hairpin, and stabbed Yu Chilan in the back of the head.

Yu Chilan opened his eyes suddenly, and slashed back with a sword.

Tao Huayuan dodged the sword and looked at Yu Chilan in surprise.

Yu Chilan didn't sleep.

How could she sleep in the same room with Xu Zhiqiong?

Tao Huayuan laughed, it doesn't matter if she didn't sleep.

She is the fifth rank of yin and yang, and killing a ninth rank is like trampling an ant to death.

Yu Chilan looked back at Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong lay on the bed, sleeping very peacefully.
