He was able to predict the location of the monster after it was launched into the water... And accurately shot through the brain... This keen insight and judgment is simply terrible... LV Qing is proud to be the head of the government with a woman's body.

But at this moment, she is convinced of Xu Qian's miraculous skills and is willing to bow down.

Well, not only powerful, but also very humble and low-key, much better than those men who look down on women.

Hoo... If the monster had not been injured, poisoned, and separated by a layer of water, I might not have been able to hit it with an arrow... Xu Qi'an took back the crossbow. He felt sorry that this crossbow could only shoot three times, and its durability was too poor.

After three shots, it becomes a common crossbow.

It's a pity that it should be used to protect life and deal with monsters.

LV Qingshun followed his eyes, also noticed that the shape of the ordinary crossbow, this look, immediately surprised.

The crossbow is engraved with complicated and mysterious patterns. It is easy to guess that it is a magic weapon when it is associated with the surging air engine when the arrow is fired.

Only gongs are magic tools for watchmen. Is this his private property? He said that the magician who could invite the sky warden was not a boast. Lu Qing's impression of this man changed again, and her favor increased.

Xu Qi'an turned to her side and refused to let her continue to look at her baby. She said with a smile:

"if you don't bring it up again, it will be washed away. It's a big credit."

Lu Qing pursed her lips and nodded.

They went into the river together and dragged the monster's body ashore.

At this time, song Tingfeng helped Zhu Guangxiao and staggered out of the forest.

"You killed it?" Song Tingfeng couldn't hide his smile and felt relieved.

Zhu Guangxiao, who is silent, breathes out his turbid breath.

"How are you?" Xu Qian is concerned about Zhu Guangxiao's injury.

Mughu shook his head: "it's OK, just two broken ribs."

The four of them took a rest on the Bank of the river. Two captors of refining realm took Li Chang down the mountain.

When Li Chang saw the corpse of the monster, he was angry and afraid. He stepped forward cautiously and kicked. He escaped with the agility that a bad old man shouldn't have.

Wait a few seconds, see no response, rest assured, rushed to a punch, incompetent fury.

After venting, Li changputong kneels down and kowtows to Xu Qian and others.

Xu Qi'an waved his hand: "I ask you, when was the cave in the South mined?"

Li Chang thought, "it's a kiln left behind before. There are not many limestone in the south, and the road is not easy to walk. It was abandoned many years ago. I don't know when it was mined like this. "

Xu Qian then said, "did people often go there before?"

The chief said, "there's no stopping people."

You directly said that sometimes someone would leave, and drag what text with me. Xu Qi'an said, "go back first and wait for the government to summon you."

The bad old man was just kicked by Zhu Guangxiao and suffered some minor injuries. Xu Qi'an saw that he had been covering his waist.

Lu Qing had no objection to Xu Qi'an's treatment, and immediately asked a colleague to send Li Chang back.

The rest of the people in situ to adjust, restore physical strength, add water and food.

A quarter of an hour later, three horses pull the corpse of the monster and walk slowly on the official road.

On the way, Lu Qing described Xu Qi'an's divine operation vividly, and his words were filled with admiration.

Song Tingfeng drove his horse close to Xu Qian and said, "she seems to like you very much."

Xu Qian responded in a low voice: "what do you want to say?"

Song Tingfeng said: "Constable Lu is quite famous in the six gates of the capital. He is still unmarried. Every man wants to be a loner on some road, doesn't he

In this era, it belongs to older leftover women... Xu Qi'an smiles: "then you work hard."

Song Tingfeng narrowed his eyes, sighed and shook his head: "people like me are only suitable for Jiaofang department."

Xu Qi'an said with a smile: "even if you yearn for the avenue, every morning and dusk are covered with white frost?"

Zhu Guangxiao frowned and couldn't understand what the two colleagues were fighting.

"By the way, what was your move just now?" Xu Qian asked.

"Xiaofeng sword technique." Song Tingfeng said.

Sword technique... The sword technique like the cutting machine of constable Lu in the battle just now is also a unique skill... Wait, sword technique?!

Xu Qi'an's eyes are fixed on the knife on Song Tingfeng's waist.

Song Tingfeng shrugged: "who said the sword can't use the sword technique."

Yeah, yeah, who says you can't stab people without a gun? Xu Qi'an said in his heart.

Talking and laughing, they saw a group of people coming from the street and gathering towards the official road.

It was the commander in chief and the refining Constable who sent him back.

The captor shook his head helplessly: "they have to come to thank us."

Li Chang held a basket of eggs in his hand and held them high in front of Xu Qi'an. "These are all the eggs that our village has put together. Please accept them, my Lord.In the past six months, we really can't be happy any more. If it wasn't for some adults who eradicated the evils for us and said that they were lawless and could not pay taxes, we would have to flee and become refugees. "

Xu Qi'an looks at Li Chang's uneasy eyes and sweeps the gray households' yellow and thin faces.

"Good!" Laughing, he took a basket of eggs and hung them on the saddle.

The people around showed a smile, at this time they dare to talk loudly, pointing to the corpse of the monster and scolding incessantly.

If I insist on not, I will tell them loudly: don't take the common people as a needle!

It's going to scare them.

Xu Qian sighed silently.

...

after returning to the capital, the corpse of the monster was received by the white soldiers waiting outside the city. They pulled the cart, covered it with white cloth, and then went to the city after handling the traces.

"It's not a small matter about the saltpeter mine. We have to report it to the higher authorities." Song Tingfeng eats an egg and swallows the egg liquid.

Parasite warning... Xu Qi'an nods.

Back to the watchman's Yamen, they went to Chunfeng hall and told Li Yuchun what happened before they could write a report.

After listening, brother chun looks solemn.

"Well done, Xu Qi'an. You have made a great contribution." Li Yuchun walked up to the three and dressed them neatly.

He returned to his seat and pondered, "what do you think?"

The three gongs looked at each other, and the Song court said: "according to Xu Ningyan's analysis, demons are consciously driving out the ash households. After our investigation, we found a saltpeter mine in the mountain... This is absolutely not a coincidence."

"Are there any more specific and powerful analysis results?" Li Yuchun asked.

Song Tingfeng put out his hand and said, "chief, I'm good at chopping people and handling cases..."

it's just ordinary.

The three of them look at Xu Qi'an, Li Yuchun's eyes with expectation: "Ning banquet, what do you think?"

Xu Qi'an's ability to scrutinize cases has been learned by the three people.

Although he is just a new comer who has just stepped into the training atmosphere, he always feels inexplicably practical when he is there.

People in the field they are not good at, will subconsciously rely on the strong.

Xu Qi'an thought for a moment and said, "I'll make a supplement. Now I'm sure that the reason why the demons drive out the surrounding gray households is to monopolize the saltpeter mine.

"At first, I thought it might be a passer-by who chose to lay eggs in the Dahuangshan Valley and return to the capital. I found that it was a male.

"There's just one question that I can't figure out. Why do monsters stare at nitramite? In addition to medicine, it can also be used to make gunpowder. "

Of course, nitre has other functions, but Xu Qi'an thinks that the generation gap is too deep, so it's better not to say.

He subconsciously took a look at Li Yuchun, but was surprised to find that the other party was shocked, frozen there, as if he had figured out something.

"It's the demons, it's the demons..." he murmured.

Li Yuchun did not explain. He spread out the paper and wrote quickly.

...

Song Tingfeng takes Xu Qi'an to the study and fills in the "injured" document.

"After writing this, we can take two days off. We won't be on duty tomorrow." Song Tingfeng said: "you should learn to seek for your own interests properly."

This is the legendary work-related injury, no, paid leave... Xu Qi'an deeply agrees with his colleagues' tact.

Leaving the study, it's dusk. Xu Qian plans to go home to have a rest.

Song Tingfeng stopped him and said, "don't you agree to go to jiaofangsi tonight?"

Xu Qi'an was stunned and immediately looked at Zhu Guangxiao, who was following song Tingfeng, and said in surprise:

"your injury doesn't matter?"

Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice: "the women of Jiaofang department know how to serve people."

Is that to say, they will sit up and move by themselves? Xu Qian arched his hand at him.

Indeed, how can we give up the pleasant entertainment among colleagues for the sake of small injuries like fracture.

It doesn't matter if you don't go home. The second uncle knows that the watchman is on duty. And my aunt, well, she obviously doesn't care if I go home. She just grunts at me all day.

Xu Qian, who won't go home tonight, will have a dinner party with his two colleagues in line with the atmosphere of Dafeng officialdom.

Destination: Jiaofang department!

He has experienced many similar social activities in his last life, but the form has changed from dinner gathering to kiln shopping.

In Dafeng, or in this era, brothel is the preferred place for communication.

The watchman's waist tag made the three of them ignore the curfew in the inner city. They met their fellow watchmen and turned a blind eye after being questioned routinely.

...

as they walked in the alley of the Department of the church, song Tingfeng said with a smile: "when you meet colleagues near the Department of the church in the future, you can turn a blind eye. If you meet colleagues in other areas, you'd better not relax. You can't guarantee what they're going to do in the middle of the night. ""I once heard the elder say an example. There was once a watchman who had a grudge with others and touched someone's house at night to destroy the door. I couldn't find out afterwards. It took a lot of effort to target the same murderer as the watchman.

"We'll talk about the details when we have a tea party."

Xu Qi'an nodded with a smile.

Inside the circle, the experience is very valuable. When you meet a jealous or intriguing colleague, people may not be willing to tell you.

"By the way, which yard shall we go to?" Zhu Guangxiao, who cherishes words like gold, opens his mouth.

"Yingmei Pavilion."

"Any one."

The first is from Xu Qi'an, and the second is song Tingfeng.

Zhu Guangxiao and song Tingfeng look at Xu Qian together, and the eyes seem to say: what do you think?

Song Tingfeng patted her new colleague on the shoulder with a smile: "girl Fuxiang's tea round is ten Liang silver, and she seldom accompanies her guests. She usually has only tea round guests for several days, but no guests. It's a clever method... "

hunger marketing, I understand... Xu Qi'an remembered that they didn't know about their design to frame Zhou Li, so it's impossible to publicize this kind of inside story. Once he slept with Hua Xiang, he didn't know.

Just sleeping.

Zhu Guangxiao reminded: "girl Fuxiang doesn't like us."

He didn't say much, but what he said was either to the point or from the heart.

Two colleagues are not willing to go to Yingmei pavilion to waste money. Xu Qi'an thinks about it and says, "it's like going to broaden our horizons. I'll pay for the money in the tea circle."

As a newcomer, inviting the company's seniors to eat seafood is a common means of entertainment.

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao smile, no one will refuse the kind treat.

Soon, they came to the gate of Yingmei Pavilion.

Xu Qi'an looked at the yard where the sound of silk and bamboo came from, and said, "I'm ashamed before I come to snow.".
