He Qizhou asked Lin Chuan to find the "Ling Yun Jue" technique again. He Qizhou mainly wanted to see how it was different from what Lu Baogen taught. Moreover, Lin Chuan now had access to the four meridians and could truly learn this light technique. When he arrived
They will also be given pointers.
He Qizhou himself paid special attention to the bookshelf of this section of the History of the Daqi War and found that the books were very new. He flipped through a few books at random. What was recorded was not much different from what Professor Tan of the Tianxing Academy said. It seemed that the reconnaissance team had made a false alarm.
We still have to go to the Privy Council to find clues.
After walking around for a while, He Qizhou saw that Lin Chuan and the two were hiding and reading, so he was about to leave the library. He didn't want to be blocked by the two of them as soon as he reached the stairs.
"He Qizhou, we want to challenge your riding and archery skills, do you dare?" Urna stood in front of her brother, standing in front of her brother, and said to He Qizhou who was about to leave.
"How to compare? But I may not have time during this period." He Qizhou said sincerely.
"Why are you like this? Do you look down on us?" Urna pursed her lips and said.
"I'll report to the Ministry of Justice later. I have to... forget it, let's do it early tomorrow morning. How do you compare?" He Qizhou was also a little afraid of Urna's resentful eyes.
"Do you dare to use the horses from the military training hall or follow the rules of the martial arts competition?"
"What is there to be afraid of?" He Qizhou was a little confused.
"Okay, the loser has to promise the other party something! It's settled!" After Urna said this, she pulled Urhan out of the way. In Tuyuhun, the girls would like a hero who can ride and shoot well.
, mounted archery is often a duel between warriors competing for their beloved girl.
"Then who should I compete with? What if I make an excessive request? Can you tell me what it is first?" He Qizhou was a little worried.
"You are competing with my sister. Don't worry. We Tuyuhun people will not make unreasonable demands. If you really can't do it, you can ask the winner to make another request." Urhan answered on behalf of his sister.
"Okay, see you tomorrow!" He Qizhou agreed with a smile and hurried downstairs. The guard downstairs checked He Qizhou's body as usual before letting him go. He Qizhou thought to himself, isn't this unnecessary? If I really want to
If you steal it, wouldn't you memorize it a little bit every day and then copy it down?
"The Arms Academy will not leak the martial arts secrets provided by each faction. This was our original promise, so even if it seems unnecessary, we still have to abide by the agreement."
He Qizhou looked back and saw that it was Li Ruogu who had also come downstairs and was being inspected by the guards. He probably saw his disdainful expression just now. "I see, that's because I was rude. Brother Li, why don't you read a book?"
Already?"
"I just happened to see you and the Wu brothers and sisters together, and I want to ask you a favor."
"What's the matter? Brother Li, just say it's okay."
"Can you not win against Urna tomorrow morning?"
"Is this... going to be disrespectful to Urna? Besides, what if she makes a request that is difficult for me to fulfill? And I will definitely not embarrass her."
"Well... to tell you the truth, I like Urna very much and want to marry her!" Li Ruogu rarely showed a shy expression.
"That's great! I see she respects you too. Tell me, why can't I win?"
"According to our Tuyuhun customs, this is a bit like the martial arts competition in the Central Plains. If you win, she will agree to your request. Generally, the man who agrees to the competition will ask for marriage."
"But I can't. To tell you the truth, I also have someone I like!"
"Oh, then congratulations to Brother He, but if you don't propose marriage, she will be sad."
"If she doesn't know that I know your rules, won't she be sad?"
"Her brother will definitely give you a hint. Besides, Urna is the most famous beauty in our place. There are countless people who admire her. I don't want to let her down!"
"You are the eldest son, why don't you send me a letter of appointment?"
"I want to, but I competed with her twice and lost both times. I really don't have the nerve to propose marriage."
"In my opinion, if it's just a passing fight, her Qinggong and moves are indeed not inferior to yours, but if it really comes down to life and death, you will definitely win!"
"Isn't this nonsense! How could I want to hurt her?" During the conversation, the two of them walked to the entrance of the armaments hall without realizing it.
"Okay, I promise you, but what will she ask for if she wins?"
"I guess I'm attracted to your big yellow horse."
"Then I'd rather lose myself to her! Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I'm just kidding, if it doesn't work out, then just cheat!"
"Then thank you, Brother He!" Li Ruogu bowed.
"Brother Li, don't worry, I will go to the Ministry of Punishments as a errand." He Qizhou said goodbye to Li Ruogu, thinking that he could ask Xu Mu how to bring the two of them together when he had time.
He came to the Penal Department Yamen in the inner city again. Last time he was a student who came to receive an award. Now he was transformed into an official appointed by the Holy Emperor. He Qizhou felt a little dazed.
After reporting his identity, he told the guard that he wanted to see Mr. Wan first. The guard diligently took He Qizhou to Hu Mao's official office, where Mr. Wan was also there.
When they arrived at Hu Mao's study, Hu and Wan were playing chess. They had been sitting there for a long time until the end of the game. When He Qizhou arrived, Hu Mao praised him again. Wan Zhiyuan said with a smile that because of the amazing performance of He Qizhou and others, Hu Mao
The minister specially commended him and wanted to thank them when he had the opportunity. Then Wan Zhiyuan accepted his defeat and took He Qizhou to report to his chief official, Qing Li Si Zhili Langzhong.
When they walked to a deserted place, Wan Zhiyuan quietly said to He Liuzhou: "Your immediate boss is not easy to mess with. It was the prince who intervened. Anyway, you have a false position now. There is no need to come here at ordinary times. If you really want to check someone in the suburbs,
I've already got people watching the case. If I have any clues, I'll let you know, but don't act out of emotion!"
He Qizhou knew Wan Zhiyuan's intentions and thanked him for being careful. The Ministry of Punishment occupies a large area and is much larger than it looks from the outside. The doctor of the Zhili Qing Li Division can be said to be the most powerful figure after the minister.
, although the rank is only fifth grade, there are many more subordinates under his actual jurisdiction. The Qing officials are responsible for criminal cases in the capital and are a key figure in the Ministry of Punishment. He Qizhou is mainly responsible for investigating the case, so naturally he needs to be assigned to him.
Under his command.
The doctor's palace is also a small courtyard. It was almost half a stick of incense time after walking from Hu Mao's courtyard. The little official who looked after the door saw that it was the minister who personally led the people here, and hurriedly went to report it. Wan Zhiyuan might not like it.
The doctor asked the young official to take He Qizhou directly in, and then turned around and left. There were many people walking around in the small courtyard, and it didn't look deserted at all. The young official took He Qizhou into the main room in the north of the courtyard.
After turning to the study room on the west side of the house, the clerk knocked on the door and went in to inform, and then asked He Qizhou to go in by himself.
The door of the study room was open, but there were scattered documents piled on a long desk. The doctor's legs were resting on the long desk, and the soles of his shoes were facing the door. An open letter covered the long desk and sat behind it.
Human face on armchair.
Hearing He Qizhou enter the room, the doctor retracted his legs and removed the folds covering his face, revealing a face that surprised He Qizhou.
"Hey, aren't you the Emperor's grandson's follower?" He Qizhou recognized that the man was the scary young man who came to Yongcui Tower to ask him to see Jiang Di.
"That's rude!" the young man said sarcastically: "My name is Su Tuo, and I am your immediate superior. The way you just saw the commander, I can fine you a salary. Of course, I also know,
You are the number one scholar appointed by the emperor and a popular person in front of the minister, so you may not take me, a little follower, seriously."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Su!" He Qizhou bowed helplessly and apologized.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy. Just call me Mr. Su in the yamen. When you get out, you can call me whatever you want. These are the appointment documents, fish talisman, and official seal sent by the Ministry of Personnel. Please check them and put them away.
!I have never seen the official department work so hard."
He Qizhou received the fish charm with red tassels and the small copper seal, then opened the kraft paper envelope, looked at it briefly, and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he thanked it.
Su Tuo dropped a finger-thick stack of files and said to He Qizhou: "Master Hu said that you promised to investigate the case in the suburbs in front of the Holy Emperor, and asked me to hand over the relevant materials to you. Here, this stack is the reason why it is like this.
Less, because the case is mainly handled by the Armed Police Department. If you want to go there and take a look, I can issue an official letter, but usually, they will just tear it up."
He Qizhou picked up the files and was about to leave. Su Tuo's sinister tone made him feel a little uncomfortable: "Hey, don't leave yet! According to the rules of the government, all files cannot be taken out of the yamen. Originally, you are just a temporary employee, so I won't assign you an office.
Room, but I want you to do something, so I asked someone to set aside a six-foot-square space for you to work in the concierge. As for manpower, if you need it, you can apply to me. As you can see, I have a crowded place here.
I'm so small, I really can't arrange a decent place, so please congratulate me."
"Okay, thank you Master Su." He Qizhou saw that the other party was only a few years older than him, but he looked like a fritter who had been in official circles for many years.
"I'll have someone take you there later. You can lock the files you've read in the cabinet or ask the concierge to file them. Please sign this register when you leave. Oh, I'll tell you one last thing.
, we think it will be difficult to find out anything more about suburban robberies. There have been so many cases recently that we really can’t spare the manpower, so I’d like to thank you, sir, for taking the trouble!”
"Do you mean you won't help? What if other yamen or court officials are found?" He Qizhou was faintly angry.
"Unless there is irrefutable evidence! Otherwise, don't bother me. Even if you go to Hu Shangshu, it will be useless!" Su Tuo said gloomily.
He Qizhou stopped talking nonsense with him, signed his name in the register and left. The clerk at the door was still waiting for him and was quite respectful to this new champion who could defeat Xu Mu.
