Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Qian stepped out of the building, stood at the bottom of the building, closed his eyes for a moment, and resolutely left.

Leave yamen, ride a little mare, along the spacious to unimaginable inner city trunk road, rush to the penalty Department Yamen.

The main road is more than 100 meters wide, which leads directly to the imperial city. It is the way the emperor went when he went out. The main purpose of this width is to prevent assassins from ambushing on the roadside. In case of cold arrows and assassinations, such a spacious road can provide sufficient buffer time for the imperial army.

Soon, he arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of punishment.

Xu Qi'an saw Xu Er Shu's figure from a distance. He was wearing armor and sharp. He should have been on the street patrol when he received the news, and he came immediately.

Xu Ershu was stopped outside the gate by the guards of the Ministry of punishment.

Two guards yelled. One of them reached out and pushed Xu Er Shu. He didn't dare to fight back. He staggered back.

"Why, a small Imperial Guard hundred households, dare to break into the penalty Department yamen?" A guard points to Xu Pingzhi's nose and scolds him. If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being rude.

Xu said: "my father has the right to practice in the new year

Another guard sneered: "it's always the rule that you should not visit the people who commit fraud in the imperial examination. You illiterate man, you know the ball

Xu Pingzhi really did not know that the cases related to imperial examination fraud were too far away from him to reach.

"Then you asked me for thirty liang?" Xu Pingzhi's eyebrows are raised and his anger is boiling.

"What's the matter with you? This is the Yamen of the Ministry of punishment. Do you dare to do it. You try one. " The guard sneered.

"Ho... Tui."

The other is more straightforward, spitting at Xu Pingzhi.

Xu Pingzhi quickly avoided.

The two guards laughed wildly.

"Hoo..."

Uncle Xu slowly breathed out a breath and looked at the two soldiers coming out of the Yamen. Obviously, as long as he dares to make trouble in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of punishment, he can't afford to go away today.

He gave the handle to others for nothing.

"Go away!"

The guard glared and yelled.

Daddada... Suddenly, the sound of horse's hooves came. Following the sound, a strong horse rushed to the Yamen of the penalty department.

Hit two guards with eyebrows.

Bang!

One of the guards couldn't avoid it. He was hit in the chest by the little mare and fell out heavily. After struggling for a moment, he fell to the ground slowly and couldn't get up again.

Does anyone dare to commit murder at the gate of the Ministry of punishment?

"Ning Yan."

Xu Pingzhi was relieved to see his nephew.

"Qiang..." the sound of pulling out the sword was continuous. When the guards in the Yamen heard the news, they rushed out one after another with their swords to cut the guys who dared to make trouble in the Yamen of the Ministry of punishment.

But when they saw that the silver Gong sitting high on horseback was Xu Qian, they were dumbfounded.

The head guard took back the knife, clasped his fist and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xu, this is the Yamen of the Ministry of punishment. You should know that if you collide with the Ministry of punishment and hurt the guards, you may be jailed or exiled, or decapitated. "

Xu Qian ignores, turns over and dismounts, kicks the sharp footed horse to avoid the guard that the little mare collides with.

"Ouch..." the guard screamed and rolled to the ground.

Xu Qi'an took off his Sabre and carried it in his hand. The muffled sound of the scabbard beating the skin and flesh made people jump with fear.

The guards screamed.

"Lord Xu!"

"Call me the viscount."

The leader of the guard choked for a moment, pretended not to hear him, and yelled: "you really don't have a master in the Ministry of punishment. Are you really afraid of your Majesty's crime and the law?"

"Although you put your horse here, it's unfair. I'll be in vain when I'm in the capital." With a sneer, Xu Qian continued to beat with his scabbard.

At first, the guard was able to evade, or raised his hand to resist. After more than ten strokes, his eyes began to turn white and he was dying.

The head of the guard clenched his teeth, the back of his hand holding the knife was blue, but he didn't dare to fight with the arrogant silver Gong.

The scene of fighting on that day is vividly in my mind, and Xu Qi'an's momentum has not dissipated. At this point, no one dares to confront him.

The most important thing is that he has a gold medal to protect himself from death. Even if he kills a lot in front of the yamen gate of the Ministry of punishment, he will be dismissed from office and his life will be safe.

Seeing that the guard was still breathing, Xu Qi'an stopped, hung his Sabre back, and said faintly, "thirty Liang silver is the money for two doctors, as well as the cost of medicine."

Out of breath, he stared at the guard leader, said: "go in to pass, I want to see Xu Xinnian."

Wen Yan, the head of the bodyguard didn't refuse or respond. He motioned to his subordinates to carry the two injured people into the Yamen for treatment. He took a deep look at Xu Qi'an and returned to the Yamen.

After a while, the head of the bodyguard returned and said, "Sun Shangshu, please."

Xu Qi'an tied the reins on the stone lion at the yamen gate and turned back to say, "second uncle, let's go in together."Xu Pingzhi keeps up in silence. They enter the Yamen and go through the front yard and cloister. Xu Er Shu opens his mouth and wants to say something, but he chooses silence.

The guard took his uncle and nephew into the side hall. On the main seat of the side hall, sun Shangshu, who was wearing a Fei robe, was waiting with a serious face and no expression.

"I've met sun Shangshu." Xu Qi'an holds his fist.

Sun Shangshu did not squint, his eyes did not seem to have Xu Qian, light way: "less than two words."

After staring at Sun Shangshu for a few seconds, Xu Qi'an bent his spine and saw the tone of his superiors at the lower level. He said: "I've seen sun Shangshu in my humble position. I want to see Xu Xinnian "

seeing this scene, Xu Pingzhi's eyes suddenly feel sour.

Sun Shangshu showed a satisfied smile and said: "cheating in the imperial examination is a serious crime, and it is human nature for family members to visit."

All of a sudden, the conversation changed: "no way."

... Xu Pingzhi gritted his teeth.

With that, sun Shangshu stopped looking at his uncle and nephew and took up the tea cup. In officialdom, half of the time, the host does not drink tea, which means seeing off the guests.

"Don't disturb sun Shangshu." Xu Qian turns to leave.

Looking at the back of his uncle and nephew, sun Shangshu said faintly: "there are some wattles in the yard. I heard that Lord Xu has built a golden body of Buddhism. Would you like to have a try?"

Xu Qi'an left without looking back.

As Xu Pingzhi walked out of the Yamen of the Ministry of punishment, he scolded: "son of a bitch, I still want you to plead guilty by carrying the Vitex. Even if I cut him down, I won't agree."

"Why did the second uncle come so fast?" Xu Qian asked.

"You came too slowly. After I received the news, I immediately went home to comfort your aunt and Lingyue, but it didn't work at all..." Xu Er Shu said with a headache:

"I know how to cry, alas, Ning Yan. What can I do about this?"

Although Xu Pingzhi is a crude warrior, he knows the "Festival" between Guozijian and Yunlu Academy. On the way here, I tried to analyze a wave and thought that Erlang's imprisonment had something to do with it.

"It's very complicated. You go back first, second uncle. I have something else to do."

Xu Da, a little horse, doesn't want to run along the street.

In his mind, Wei Yuan's words came to mind:

I usually have 4000-5000 words in a chapter. Therefore, the number of words today is between 12000 and 15000.
