Chapter 175
175 Interrogating Hengyuan (1)
The next day, Xu Qi ‘an squatted under the roof and brushed his teeth and washed his face. He called out in his mind,”Master Shen Shu?”
No one responded.
“Master? Last night, you said that you and I are the same kind of people. I just want to ask, does Ningye pick up silver every day?”
No one responded.
He was usually in a deep sleep. After all, it was a sealed artifact … I’ll try to summon him again later. If there’s still no response, I can reluctantly accept using my hot and soft body to warm his cold body … Xu Qi ‘an heaved a sigh of relief.
Xu Qi ‘an put on a handsome uniform and tied up his long hair. He hung the black and gold long knife at the back of his waist, climbed over the three-meter-high wall, and went to the main house for breakfast.
His hand on the hilt, he suddenly thought of the knife that the director had given him, was it a sign of goodwill?
“…. I’m too arrogant. How could a rank one expert be friendly to me? However, this blade is very compatible with my “heaven and earth One slash.” Thank you, supervisor.”
Eh?
Xu Qi ‘an suddenly stopped and stood rooted to the ground.
The black-gold long blade was given to me by Jian Zheng, and the ‘heaven and earth One blade slash’ was given to me by si Tianjian. The black-gold long blade and the ‘heaven and earth One blade slash’ were extremely compatible, and Jian Zheng knew that I had a strange fate … In the cold morning wind, Xu Qi ‘an shivered.
At this moment, he had a sense of urgency that he had to return to Earth.
“Phew … Let’s take it one step at a time. We’ll improve our strength and status first, and we’ll talk about the future.”
Xu Qi ‘an collected himself and went to the front hall. The sky was still bright. His aunt and second uncle were eating at the table. Lu’ er was also sitting at the table with a little bean on her lap.
“Big brother!” Hello, “Xu lingying greeted warmly and quietly moved the meat buns and fried dough sticks into her arms.
…. It was really a plastic sibling relationship. Xu Qi ‘an sat down and scooped a bowl of porridge for himself. He glanced at the beautiful woman and said,
“Auntie, you’re up so early?”
Her aunt, who had woken up early, was in a bad mood and didn’t like to pay attention to her nephew. Her white and slender fingers twisted the porcelain spoon and stirred the porridge.
“Lingyue isn’t feeling well, so I just went to visit her.”
“What’s wrong?” Xu Qi ‘an frowned. He was still very interested in beautiful and refined girls.
“It’s. girl’s matter …” The Auntie mumbled, not wanting to explain.
Oh, my period is here … However, if her period came, it was not necessary for her aunt to visit. So, it’s menstrual pain?
The famous detective Xu Qi ‘an concluded.
“I’m going to visit lingyue,” Xu Qi ‘an said after breakfast.
Second uncle and aunt had no objections. The good thing about being a family of generals was that they did not have the complicated rules of a family of scholars.
For example, between siblings, they had to keep a fixed distance when talking, bow when meeting, and couldn’t spend more than a certain amount of time together in private, unless a few siblings held a banquet together.
And so on and so forth.
Otherwise, Xu lingyue would be very embarrassed at this time, and as an elder, she should refuse.
“Big pot, big pot … I also want to go see big sister.” Xu lingying jumped down from Lu er’s thighs and held onto Xu Qi ‘an’s clothes.
Xu Qi ‘an thought she was walking too slowly, so he put her under his armpit and soon arrived at Xu lingyue’s room. He knocked on the door and said,
“A girl? Auntie said you’re not feeling well?”
Xu lingyue’s weak voice came from the room.”I, I’m fine …”
“Big brother, can you come in?” Xu Qian said,”should I clean up the cloth used to wipe my wound?”
“Creak …” The servant girl opened the door and welcomed Xu Qi ‘an and the little boy into the house.
Xu lingyue was lying on the bed with her body turned sideways and her hand on her stomach. Her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed and her pretty face was a little pale.
This seemed a little serious … Did it really hurt that much … you have your period, right? ” Xu Qi ‘an comforted her. have you taken your medicine? ”
Xu lingyue was stunned, and her pale face flushed red. She shook her head.”Mother said to just take it …”
She sounded a little aggrieved.
After all, she was just a little girl. She lay on the bed, enduring the pain, all alone, with only her maidservant accompanying her.
In this era, menstrual pain was something that was generally endured by force. After all, it was not an illness, and it would naturally get better after a period of time. And for most of the middle and lower-class civilians, there was no need to see a doctor if there were no deaths.
I remember that red sugar ginger tea can cure menstrual pain, right? Forget it, I’ll look for Yan Caiwei to take a look …
Xu lingying walked to the bedside, stretched out his short and thick fingers, and smoothed out his sister’s tightly furrowed brows. He looked at his big brother pitifully.
“Is big sister going to die?”
Xu lingyue was speechless.
“Sister won’t die.” Xu Qi ‘an comforted her.
“Then what’s wrong with sister?” Xu lingying asked in fear.
You don’t know anything about menstrual cramps … ‘You don’t know what menstruation is either …’ Xu Qi ‘an pondered for a moment. He touched Xu linging’s head and explained in simple words, ”
“Sister is too sensible and doesn’t know how to cause trouble, so she’s not feeling well. When she becomes a troublemaker in the future, her stomach won’t hurt anymore.”
Menstrual cramps would be reduced or even non-existent when she got married in the future. Therefore, Xu Qi ‘an’s explanation could be said to be accurate and easy to understand, which was rare in the world.
Even a stupid child like Xu lingying understood. He nodded in realization, and his little face was very serious.”I also want to be a troublemaker so that my stomach won’t hurt in the future.”
“B-big brother … What are you talking to her about?” Xu lingyue didn’t understand, but she felt that Xu Qi ‘an’s words were strange.
“Have a good rest,” Xu Qi ‘an pinched the girl’s face and left with the little girl.
On the way back to the front hall, he saw the little boy running into the garden, grabbing a handful of soil and sneakily hiding it in his palm.
What was she trying to do? Xu Qi ‘an was stunned.
When she returned to the front hall, second uncle and aunt were still eating. The former asked, “”Is lingyue feeling better?”
“It’s still hurting …” As Xu Qi ‘an spoke, she saw Xu lingying climb onto a stool, her small body holding the edge of the table. In front of her parents, she threw the black soil into a large pot of porridge.
Then, she stood on the stool and heaved a sigh of relief. This way, her stomach wouldn’t hurt anymore.
Aunt and second uncle’s faces stiffened. They turned their heads inch by inch and looked at the young girl.”You … What are you doing?”
“I’m causing trouble!” I’ll definitely be a good troublemaker in the future, ” Xu lingying said proudly. I won’t be like my sister, always causing trouble for my parents.
After she finished speaking, she put her hands on her waist and waited for her parents ‘praise.
The aunt thought of the cockroach incident, and for a moment, new and old grudges surged in her heart. She lifted her by the neck, placed her on her thigh, and spanked her butt.
The little boy was unconvinced and explained while crying,”Mother, why did you hit me?”
“You’re still so confident after throwing mud into the porridge?” Auntie greeted her without stopping.
big brother taught me. Big brother said that as long as I’m good at causing trouble, my stomach won’t hurt …???….”
Xuxu exploded in anger. Xu ningyan, what did you teach her again? ” she raised her eyebrows.
“The weather is really good today. Second uncle, I’ll go to the Yamen first.” Xu Qi ‘an ran away.
…..
In the dungeon of the night watchman’s office.
As a temporary criminal, Hengyuan was lucky not to be tortured. He was only whipped twice by the jailer when he first arrived, and the reason was that even a miser could not be as clean as him.
A stinky monk without any money.
“Clang …” The door of the cell was opened, and the jailer shouted to the shackled burly monk, “”There’s a Lord who wants to ask questions. Come out.”
Hengyuan opened his eyes, got up, and followed the jailer to the interrogation room.
In the slightly dark interrogation room, a handsome man with a copper Gong was sitting on a big chair and staring at him with a sharp gaze.
Hengyuan recognized this Gong. He had seen this Gong when the warm-hearted No. 3 helped him to hide from the search. At that time, he was standing on the roof of the house, one hand on his saber, his back straight and his bearing extraordinary. At a glance, one could tell that he was a Dragon among men.
“Master, please take a seat. I have a few questions to ask you.” Xu Qi ‘an said. He examined the square-faced monk with rough facial features.
At first glance, he seemed to be a boorish man, but upon closer inspection, one would find that his eyes were bright, calm, and his temperament was deep and reserved.
Hengyuan put his hands together, bowed, and sat down.
“Your name.” Xu Qi ‘an lowered his head and sipped his tea.
“Monks don’t speak of names, I’m a monk Hengyuan.”
“Age.”
“Thirty.”
Xu Qi ‘an raised her head in surprise and looked at him. He thought of a joke,”Sir system, how do you maintain your youth?”
Stay up late.
Then how old are you this year?
Twenty years old.
Hengyuan looked like he was in his forties, close to fifty … Do you stay up late every day too … Xu Qian ridiculed in his heart.
“Family background.”
“Azure Dragon temple’s warrior monk,”
“What’s his cultivation?”
“An eighth-grade monk.”
Xu Qi ‘an frowned and tapped the table with his fingers.”Don’t play mind games with me.”
An eighth-grade monk could break into the residence of count Ping Yuan at night and kill people. He could easily injure two Qi refining realm copper gongs and leave without any injuries?
“I am indeed an eighth-grade monk,” Hengyuan said in a deep voice.
An eighth grade monk … I remember that there’s something strange about the Buddhist cultivation system. The next rank after the ninth rank is the seventh rank sorcerer, which directly skips the eighth rank monk.
Could it be that Buddhism had two systems? Since there were two systems, why did they have to merge? Also, what was the next grade for monks?
Xu Qi ‘an asked the question in his heart. Hengyuan shook his head.”The Azure Dragon Temple doesn’t have the corresponding unique skill. Only the West can know.”
Only the people heading west would know? In that case, the Yamen’s Case Archive most likely did not have any relevant records … These were all insignificant problems … Xu Qi ‘an said, ”
“Heng Hui has passed away, and Princess Ping Yang’s body has been found. His Majesty has sent a notice today that count Ping Yuan, Minister of War Zhang Feng, and Minister of Revenue have all been reported to sun Zhongming for plotting to kill clan members and barbarian tribes. You can be at ease now.”
“Amitabha.” Hengyuan closed his eyes and chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice.
“Originally, you had only accidentally entered this case, and the night watchman would not pursue any responsibility for it. But shouldn’t you explain to me what this is?”
Xu Qi ‘an took out a small Jade Mirror and threw it on the table.
This small Jade Mirror was found at the bottom of the well. It was the No. 6 fragment of Hengyuan.
[ PS: cervical spondylosis is acting up, and it hurts like hell. ] If I work for half an hour, I’ll lie on the bed for a while. If I work for half an hour, I’ll lie on the bed for a while. He really couldn’t sit still, it was too sore.
There should be more chapters about the Alliance master in the next chapter. Yes, it should be … I’ll continue writing, but I can’t guarantee what time I’ll be writing. Everyone, watch it tomorrow morning. If there’s no way to update, then there will be four chapters tomorrow, so don’t stay up late to wait. I can’t guarantee that I’ll update it at night.
Her neck was in too much pain, so she had to lie down for a while.
