Dafeng's Night Squad - Chapter 319

319 Meeting the Crown Prince (1)

The young eunuch lowered his head and said,”young master Xu first went to the princess of Lin. an’s shaoyin garden. The two talked for a long time behind the rockery. When he came out, the princess of Lin. an’s eyes were red. It seemed that she had just cried ….. Miss Xu ….

Emperor Yuan jing frowned and interrupted, “”What are they doing behind the rockery?”

The old eunuch glanced at Emperor Yuan jing’s expression and knew that the Emperor was unhappy. The princess and Xu Tongluo went to the back of a secluded rockery. Then, the princess came out with red eyes.

!!
This was indeed fanciful.

“It’s … It was because the princess of Lin an came out with a knife. When Xu Tongluo saw this, he hid behind the rockery. I was the one who told Your Highness that Xu Tongluo was hiding in the rockery.”

“To be honest.” The old eunuch glared.

The old eunuch immediately looked at Emperor yuanjing. Seeing that the emperor’s eyes had already retracted their sharp light, he was relieved and said, “”Please continue.”

“After that, Sir Xu and the princess entered the hall. This servant was chased out, and your Highness and Sir Xu talked for half an hour in the hall. I don’t know the content of the conversation.” The young eunuch finally expressed his grievance.

“This servant did not commit any dereliction of duty. It’s just, it’s just that Lord Xu’s attitude was too unyielding.”

After saying that, he carefully glanced at Emperor Yuan jing from the corner of his eye.

To his disappointment, Emperor Yuan jing did not show any expression. The young eunuch could only continue, “”After that, official Xu brought this servant and Princess Lin an to see the body of Consort Fu.

“In the process, Lord Xu tried to touch Lady Fu’s body. I tried my best to stop him, but I was not successful and even took a kick from him.”

The young eunuch remembered that kick and was waiting for this moment to make things worse for Xu Qi ‘an.

As expected, Emperor Yuan jing frowned.

The old eunuch who had accompanied him for decades asked on behalf of his master, “”How?”

“I just touched it repeatedly for a long time.” The young eunuch replied.

He didn’t dare to exaggerate, because if Emperor Yuan jing was furious, he only needed to find someone to verify it and question Xu Qi ‘an. The lie would be exposed immediately. A small eunuch wouldn’t dare to commit the crime of deceiving the Emperor.

“And then?” the old eunuch asked.

“Then … So I left.” “But Sir Xu and the princess of Lin an said that there is something strange about Consort Fu’s death.”

“There’s something else?” Emperor Yuan jing finally spoke again. He sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, staring at the young eunuch.

“Lord Xu said that a normal falling from a building should be face down and not back down, but Consort Fu did die from her back down. It’s highly possible that he was pushed down.”

The young eunuch repeated Xu baichan’s analysis to Emperor yuanjing.

She was pushed down and fell to her death … Emperor Yuan jing squinted his eyes and looked up at the ceiling. He pondered for a long time and said, ”

“You may leave.”

The young eunuch took his leave.

The old eunuch smiled flatteringly. this Xu Qi ‘an really lives up to his reputation. The three legal divisions have been investigating for many days, but they were helpless. As soon as he arrived, he immediately found something amiss. We can wait for the day to solve the case.”

Emperor Yuan jing snorted,”it’s not that the three law divisions don’t know how to handle cases, they just don’t want to.” However, Xu Qi ‘an does have some skills.”

He was still satisfied.

After a pause, Emperor yuanjing said, ” pass on my order. Let the cabinet draft an edict. Restart the matter of Xu Qi ‘an’s title of nobility.

The old eunuch accepted the order and left the palace. He did not go to the cabinet immediately. Instead, he found the young eunuch who was supervising Xu Qi ‘an’s case and slapped him.

“Godfather?”

The young eunuch covered his face in grievance.

“You’re still trying to play tricks at a time like this? Do you think His Majesty can’t tell? don’t you know that you just had a brush with death?” The old eunuch said sternly,

“His Majesty is feeling vexed about Consort Fu’s matter. At this time, you are trying to play tricks in front of His Majesty. You are lucky that nothing happened to you today.

I told you to keep an eye on Xu Qi ‘an, so do it well. Don’t smuggle anything. The people he contacts in the harem and the things he does involve the concubines, princesses, and princes. You can’t have a single bit of prejudice or opinion, or else you’ll be criticizing Tian Huan’s nobility.”

The Emperor would judge for himself what Xu Qi ‘an had done. The young eunuchs would be criticizing the emperor’s family by instilling their personal goods in him.

The young eunuch lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, “”Your son understands.”

The old eunuch snorted. Lord Xu is chasing you out for your own good. You’ve really listened to things you shouldn’t have. The day this case is closed will be the day your head lands.

The young eunuch was stunned for a moment. A few seconds later, he figured it out. His face turned pale and his back was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

The hatred he had for Xu Qi ‘an’s kick disappeared.

……..

Dusk.

Xu Qi ‘an was sitting on the horse’s back, his beloved little mare trotting. He squinted his eyes, facing the orange sunlight, and hummed lightly, ”

you walk the path of the human world; you carry the flag against the wind; you are not evil. not greedy. and. good official. The people have you in their hearts …

The little mare galloped into the alley of the Imperial Academy.

After entering the alley, Xu Qi ‘an got off his horse and threw the reins to the green-clothed manservant who was guarding the entrance of the alley. He also threw a piece of silver to him.

The courtyard of yingmei’s little Pavilion was tightly shut. It was actually closed?

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the afterglow in the West and thought to himself, ” at this hour, the teaching workshop should be open for business.

“Pa pa pa …”

He raised his head and knocked on the door of the yingmei Pavilion. Not long after, the door opened. Just as the door opened a crack, the green-clothed servant inside said, ”

“Yingmei Pavilion won’t receive guests anymore, so you’d better go to the other courtyards …”
