The residents I met along the way were wearing tattered winter clothes, with thin cheeks, staring at him like hungry wolves staring at food.

But the Confucian shirt on Xu Xinian's body kept these poor people on the verge of food and clothing maintaining their sobriety.

The loess houses in this area are dilapidated and disorderly, the roadsides are full of garbage, and there is a faint smell of feces and urine in the air.

It is obvious that flies are flying everywhere in summer.

A sallow-faced and emaciated child boldly came forward to stop Xu Nian's horse.

"Sir, give me some money. I haven't eaten for seven days," said the child.

If you haven't eaten for seven days, you're already dead. Xu New Year subconsciously wanted to taunt the other party, but swallowed it back.

He took out a piece of broken silver from the money bag and threw it over.

The child was sallow and thin, with dull eyes, seven days was an exaggeration, but it was true that he hadn't eaten for a long time.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of not only the children blocking the way lit up, but also the poor people and children around them.

Gleaming with greed and lust.

Seven or eight children followed suit and surrounded Xu Xinian's horse, while the poor approached quietly.

"My lord, give me some money."

"I haven't eaten for ten days."

Adults and children surrounded the horses, as if they would not let them go unless they were paid.

With sharp eyes, Xu Nian pushed back a man who was reaching for the purse, and shouted, "Silence!"

The noise stopped immediately, and everyone consciously remained silent.

"Get out!" Xu Xinnian shouted again, sinking into his dantian.

The children and adults around the horse felt a strong fear in their hearts, and their instincts prompted them to stay away from the horse and dare not approach it.

A Confucian student of the eighth level of self-cultivation can regulate the words and deeds of others, and master the most superficial application of words and expressions.

Xu Nian shook his head helplessly, rode his horse and left the area, and arrived at the Yangshengtang not long after.

He got off his horse, fearing that the horse would be stolen if it was tied outside, so he led the horse into the gate.

In the courtyard, an old official was cleaning the courtyard, raised his old face, and asked, "Young Master, what is your business?"

Xu Nian said: "Can there be a monk in the hall?"

The old official replied: "You mean Master Hengyuan, right? He has left for two days."

Xu Nian frowned: "When will you return?"

"I don't know, it is said that there is news about my junior brother, and I have to leave for a few days." The old official shook his head.

Xu Xinnian left Yangshengtang disappointed, and left Dongcheng.

In the evening, the eldest princess, who had had dinner, summoned the chief guard of the mansion in the study, and the chief guard brought the information collected by the watchmen from the yamen.

The eldest princess in gorgeous palace attire stood by the window, leaving an infinitely beautiful back view to the guards.

After she listened quietly, she asked: "Does Xu Qi'an have a grudge against Zhu Yinluo?"

The head of the guard shook his head: "The villain has inquired on purpose, the two should have never met each other. It's just that Yinluo did express his jealousy and loathing towards Tongluo Xu Qi'an in private."

"Will Mr. Cheng's family members be imprisoned as Jiaofang Secretary?" the eldest princess asked again.

"No." The head guard replied.

The eldest princess didn't speak any more, she thought for a moment, and said casually, "What do you think about this matter?"

The young head of the guard hesitated for a moment, and said: "I've inquired about it, and Xu Qi'an was not late for the assembly, but he was beaten by Zhu Chengzhu. It can be seen that he is deliberately provoking trouble these years, and the beaters have indeed repeatedly committed abuse. The affairs of the officials' wives.

"Some should have rushed into the Jiaofang Division, but it doesn't matter, but those who shouldn't have been implicated often encountered evil claws."

Similar things are not uncommon, but no one is willing to make decisions for the families of those prisoners.

Prisoners are sinners, and everyone pushes against the wall.

The head of the guard continued: "I still found out that Zhu Yinluo had the intention of forcing Xu Qi'an to take action at that time, and he succeeded, but"

The eldest princess smiled lightly and said, "It's just that I didn't expect such a powerful force to erupt from a small gong."

The eldest princess said: "I understand, step back."

The head guard left the study.

The eldest princess stood by the window, staring at the silent garden with quiet eyes.

late at night.

The moon casts a cool glow, and the calm Sangpo reflects its shadow.

The sound of scales colliding, and the sound of orderly footsteps echoed around Sangbo, it was the patrolling imperial army.

When the cold night wind blows, the sangpo that blows is wrinkled and silvery shattered.

An exquisitely cut paper figurine with a big slap, riding the wind, fluttered across the surface of Sangbo Lake, and landed on a high platform in the center of the lake.

It was silent for a few seconds, stood up staggeringly, walked to the front of the temple door with short legs, and squeezed in through the crack of the door.

A few seconds later, a faint flame lit up from the crack in the door.After a while, there was a "boom", like a scorching thunder, and the blazing flames engulfed the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple.

The violent impact set off a wave, and the broken tiles, bricks, and beams rushed tens of meters away and smashed on Sangbo.

The sound of the explosion spread for hundreds of miles, and the imperial guards patrolling near Sangbo felt the tremors on the ground and the waves of fire that burned the sky at the same time.

Scholars study hard with the lamp on - bursting their livers.
