Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Testing each other

[: A while ago, I took advantage of the Taoist leader's sleep and secretly returned to the Earth Sect to do some work, but I was ambushed. I escaped all the way to the capital of Dafeng to save my life. In order to avoid being hunted down, I gave the sealed mirror to... Brother Chen Jinnan. ]

Not only did you reveal my gender, but you also hinted at my age... Xu Qian'an was a little angry. He could have pretended to be a demon or a master in the Tiandihui.

[: Later, with the help of Brother Chen Jinnan, I killed Zi Lian and avoided this disaster. ]

[: No. 3, which government office do you work for?]

You are like a netizen asking for the address. I would tell you if I told you... Xu Qian'an suddenly had an idea and imitated Xu Erlang's tone:

[*: Government office? The government office in the capital is just a group of guys who are just sitting there doing nothing.]

No. 3 seemed to be very disdainful of the government office, and his tone was a little arrogant. There are only a few official forces in the capital. First of all, let's rule out the Ren Sect. Taoist Master Jinlian will not cooperate with the Ren Sect.

The night watchman would not describe the government office in the capital like this. Is it the Sitianjian or Yunlu Academy?

This tone is very similar to the Confucian scholars who claim that "everything is inferior except reading".

No. 2 and No. 6 in front of the mirror made guesses at the same time.

[No. 2: No. 1 is also in the capital. Maybe you two know each other. No. 1, I know you are looking in front of the mirror. Have you heard about what happened today?]

[No. 1: A jianghu died in Guiyue Tower in the inner city. Sixty miles outside the east city, a hill was pierced by unknown means. ]

After a pause, No. 1 continued to send a message:

[No. 2, has the banditry in Yunzhou been quelled? ]

Interesting!

Xu Qian'an raised his eyebrows.

He smelled the smell of a palace drama.

Number Two drags Number One into the water, and at the same time conveys a message to him: Number One and you are both in Beijing.

This is obviously aimed at Number One, and the reason is simple. After the chat just now, everyone knows that Number Three is from Beijing.

But as Number Three, he doesn't know the information of others. Number Two can keep this secret.

Number One immediately retaliates, throwing out the news openly, showing that he can channel, giving Xu Qi'an a shot of prevention, and counterattacking Number Two at the same time.

Number Two is in Yunzhou...banditry... Is she also a government official?

Yunzhou has been plagued by bandits every year, and is nicknamed "Bandit State" by people from other states.

While Xu Qi'an was daydreaming, Number Six and Number Two were also chewing on the information given by Number One.

Sixty miles east of the city, a hill was pierced... There is too little information to determine what kind of cultivation system it is, but it can be determined that it is a high-level strongman.

[Er: How can it be pacified? The emperor of Dafeng is a brainless monkey who thinks about cultivating immortals all day long and doesn't know the sufferings of the world. ]

It sounds like... Erhao should not be paid by the court... Xu Qian'an guessed.

[Er: Not to mention previous years, this year alone, I checked the household registration of each prefecture and county in Yunzhou, and made inquiries everywhere. According to a rough estimate, at least 60,000 people fled and became refugees or bandits. ]

Refugees are people without land, who cannot afford taxes and abandon their land to flee.

Even though the land is gone, people still have to survive. Some beg and work, while others become bandits and rob innocent people, forming a vicious cycle.

Erhao continued: "I have wiped out more than a dozen gangs of bandits and found that there are deeper forces hidden behind them."

[Yi: Have you got any clues? ]

[Er: No... By the way, how is the situation in the capital recently? ]

Xu Qi'an didn't wait for No. 1 to answer, and entered the information first: [Three: Minister Zhou fell, and the political struggle began. However, Minister Zhou's downfall was quite absurd and unruly. The reason was that his only son was blinded by lust and attempted to defile the second daughter of Marquis Weiwu.]

His words were both to convey information to No. 2 and to show his level to everyone, and at the same time to test No. 1.

Everyone who was qualified to participate in the court struggle knew that the real reason for Minister Zhou's downfall was the tax silver case.

To his disappointment, No. 1 did not correct it.

[One: Taoist Master Jinlian, I have inquired for you. The exact time when the Sub-Sage Academy of Yunlu Academy was banned was the Jiazi Day. Among the outsiders in Yunlu Academy on that day, in addition to the eldest princess, there was also a clerk named Xu Qi'an.

]

"!!!"

Xu Qi'an's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sense of panic that he was exposed and his address was made public on the Internet.

What is the origin of this number one, and why did he want to check what happened on the Jiazi day...Xu Qian'an remembered that on the Jiazi day, Erlang took him to visit Yunlu Academy, and on a whim, he wrote the four lines of Hengqu on the stone tablet.

This caused the strange phenomenon of the clear air in the Yasheng Temple to rise to the sky.

At the same time, he was very curious why Taoist Jinlian cared about the changes in Yunlu

Academy.

Logically speaking, this is something that only scholars in the Imperial College care about. What does it have to do with you, a Taoist from the Earth Sect?

[One: However, that clerk is mediocre. Apart from his good poetry talent, he is only in the Refining Jing Realm. He is not a student of Yunlu Academy, let alone a scholar. ]

[Nine: Yes, I know.]

[Three: Why does the Taoist care about the changes in Yunlu Academy? JXu Qian'an tried to

test it.

[Nine: I want to know if Cheng Yasheng's stone tablet is cracked.]

[Three: Is this important?]

[Nine: Quite important.]

It cracked... Xu Qi'an didn't tell Taoist Jinlian, even if he wanted to, it wasn't now.

[Three: I have something to ask you.]

[Two: You say. ]

[Three: Are alchemists unique to the Si Tian Jian?]

Xu Qi'an's words almost ruled out his identity as a disciple of the Si Tian Jian.

Everyone was more and more sure that he was a student of Yunlu Academy, a student who was highly valued by the elders of the academy, otherwise they wouldn't have invited a high-

quality strongman to kill Taoist Zi Lian.

And this is exactly what Xu Qi'an wanted.

You think I'm a student of Yunlu Academy, but in fact I'm a night watchman. In the future, when you realize that I might be a night watchman, you will replace that I'm really a student of Yunlu Academy, or you will replace that I'm the life mentor of the alchemists of the Si Tian Jian.

[Lu: Let me answer this question. Six hundred years ago, there was no sorcerer system. Sorcerers only appeared in the Si Tian Jian after the founding of Dafeng.]

The history of the sect is short and it has not branched out. In other words, except for the Si Tian Jian, there are almost no wild alchemists... There should still be some, but very few, otherwise the alchemists would be surprised if I took out a blue book.

No wonder the alchemists are so eager for my chemical theory knowledge, they are obviously

very powerful.

Because of the short history, there is no comprehensive theoretical foundation course?

In addition, who is the alchemist behind the tax and silver case?

A suspicious point in the tax and silver case has always been a concern for the veteran criminal

investigator Xu Qian'an.

The Si Tian Jian seems to have a negative attitude towards the alchemist involved in this case

and does not care about it.

This is very unscientific.

Whether it is Chu Caiwei, Song Qing, or other white clothes, none of them mentioned this

matter in front of him.

[Lu: Number 3, according to the rules, you have to answer a question for me.]

Xu Qian'an then realized that the conversation between No. 1 and No. 2 was a question-and- answer conversation. Just now, he had interrupted and answered the recent situation in the

court of the capital for No. 1.

[Three: You ask. ] [Six: What is the name of the second-rank Confucian?]

This is another test, a test of my identity... The test is not whether I am a student of Yunlu Academy, but a test of my social status.

Ordinary Confucian students do not know what the second-rank Confucian is called. The monument of the life and deeds of the great Confucian Qian Zhong at that time did not explain his realm in detail. It was only after Xu Xinnian's explanation that Xu Qian'an knew it. The reason why Erlang knew it was because he was a student valued by the great Confucian Zhang Shen and was a successful candidate in the autumn examination.

This is already an elite level among the students of Yunlu Academy.

If I were not a student of Yunlu Academy, this test would be equally effective. If non-

Confucian students also know the second-rank, their social status will only be higher.

If I can't answer, these guys will probably think I'm not good enough.

Xu Qian'an used his finger as a pen and wrote: [Three: The second rank of Confucianism is called a great Confucian. ]
