With a "bang", the body was salvaged again, and the task was successfully completed.

Satisfied, the two scolded the boatman on board and sailed to the Xicheng Guardhouse again.

Enter Xu Youzhen's residence.

Xu Youzhen is basically in a state of idleness now, and he himself is happy to be idle.But practicing calligraphy today, I feel inexplicably restless.

"Snapped"

The inkstone that had been used for a long time fell to the ground for no reason and broke into pieces.

Xu Youzhen frowned as she looked at the ink all over the floor.

"Old Li, call someone to come and clean up."

"Very well, sir."

"By the way, where's the second master?" Xu Youzhen suddenly thought.

"My lord, when the second lord left the house, he told me that he was going out to get together with his friends to discuss the matter of the exam. He said he would be back in the evening." The butler replied.

Xu Youzhen looked at the sky outside the window.

"What time is it, why don't you come back!"

My younger brother is not too young, and I have started to give him some time now, so that he can grow up. Thanks to my friend, it may be helpful in my career in the future.

After all, I also came here like this, and the exam is coming soon, so it is inevitable that I will feel bored.

Going out to relieve my mood can also be understood by myself.

It's getting dark!Haven't come home yet!Never dared to do this before!

Moreover, the state banquet is imminent, and almost all the three religions and nine streams gather in Kyoto. If something happens, it will be troublesome.

The parents of the two brothers passed away early, and they brought up the younger brother by themselves. The name elder brother is actually more like a father.

Brotherly love is far better than ordinary people.

"No! Old Chen, let some of your servants go out with me, I'm going to find him and come back."

In the end, Xu Youzhen couldn't bear the worry and uneasiness in her heart, and walked out of the room, ready to go out to search.

As soon as the front foot stepped out, the porter ran in with a pale face and stammered.

"Old...Master, the Commander of the Imperial City Guard, Mr. Xu, is asking to see you."

Hearing the word Huangchengwei, Xu Youzhen was full of doubts.

I have never had any interaction with this person.

And for hundreds of years since the founding of the country, the Imperial City Guard has always been despised by the court officials.

Shilin despises it, but also deeply fears it.

Everyone in Qingliu even disdains to associate with him.

Although I am lonely now, but I am also from the Erjia Chuanlu, and now I am a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and I am in the cabinet, and I am a prince in name, how can I meet him.

Others may be afraid that you want to curry favor with you, but I, Xu Youzhen, am not afraid!

"Don't give him face, just say that I have rested."

"Okay, sir." The concierge turned around and was ready to reply.

"Wait, come back!" Xu Youzhen felt more and more bad when she thought that her younger brother hadn't returned home yet, and at this moment, Commander Xu Xin came to visit for no reason.

"He... is he in casual clothes, or... is he still wearing official robes!"

"Master Xu is in casual clothes."

With a bang, it hit Xu Youzhen's forehead like five thunders.

Xu Youzhen sat paralyzed on the ground.

The housekeeper had a bad sense and hurried forward to support Xu Youzhen.

Xu Youzhen waved her hand and refused, tried her best to calm down, and stood up with difficulty while supporting the door frame.

"You go and ask him to come in, forget it, I'd better meet him at the door in person."

The butler looked at the always calm master, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

Seeing Xu Xin with a calm face at the door, Xu Youzhen's face became paler and weaker.

After entering the hall and serving tea, Xu Youzhen screened everyone away.

"I don't know what is the reason for Mr. Xu's late-night visit?" Xu Youzhen finally broke the silence by speaking first.

"Come here for your younger brother." Xu Xinming said calmly while sipping tea.

Hearing the word Lingdi, the water in Xu Youzhen's cup kept shaking, and some of it spilled out and splashed on the back of his hand, but he couldn't feel the boiling hot of the tea at all.

I had already guessed the result, but I couldn't accept the result in my heart.

However, the Commander of the Imperial City Guard, Ken, came to the door late at night in casual clothes to rebel, but there was still a turning point.

"Can your lord tell me what happened to Xu Lin?"

Those who can enter the cabinet are the best of the best.

Xu Youzhen asked a question calmly.

"Today's evening, a murder case occurred on Daming Lake." Xu Xin said calmly, and then looked at Xu Youzhen.

"Murder case? What murder case?" Xu Youzhen's tense nerves finally broke, and the teacup in her hand fell straight to the ground.

Sure enough, brotherhood is deep...

Xu Xin looked at Xu Youzhen's sweaty head and nervous expression and said slowly.

"Xu Ge, don't worry, it's because I didn't make it clear."

"Your younger brother is an eyewitness to this case. I just asked your younger brother for help because I need to know some details. I am afraid that the adults will be worried, so I will come to the door to inform you first. In a short time, the carriage of the Foreign Security Department will send him back in person. Don't worry. I'm worried."

Xu Xin smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Youzhen knows that things are not simple.

After Xu Xin's narration, Xu Youzhen roughly knew the whole story of the "case".

Seeing the money, the owner of the workshop kills Mr. Li and the woman from the brothel. Xu Lin happens to witness the process of the owner's murder. When the owner of the workshop kills Xu Lin, Li Si and others from Qianhu of the Imperial City Guard arrive in time and rescue Xu Lin.

Half an hour later, the butler ran in excitedly.

"Master, good news, there is a carriage to take Second Master back."

Chapter 52 Various forces entered Beijing and saw Xu Lin walk into the hall, regardless of whether there were other people in the family, he knelt down in front of Xu Youzhen and began to cry bitterly.

"Brother! I'm really just talking out of anger. I didn't kill Ten Niang on purpose... Woo..."

Xu Xin had achieved his goal, he cupped his hands and left quietly.

After seeing Xu Xin leave, Xu Youzhen stepped forward and kicked Xu Lin to the ground.

When he raised his hand and wanted to slap his younger brother again, he stopped.

Many years ago, my younger brother stole an egg from the neighbor’s house because he couldn’t bear the hunger. When the neighbor came to the door, he cried in such a helpless and sad way...

He slowly put down his hand and helped his brother up: "Forget it, forget about it. But please remember it! You are not a murderer! You are a witness!"

"When someone asks you who the murderer is! You just insist that it is the owner of Huafang! He killed everyone! He even wanted to kill you! It was the people of the Imperial City Guard who saved you!"

"Also! Tomorrow, I will ask Lao Li to take you back to your hometown to recuperate! You don't have to participate in this year's test!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Youzhen sat down on the chair in a daze and waved her hands.

The butler, Lao Li, helped the trembling Xu Jia Erlang back to his room.

Now it can be said that the imperial city guards have seized the handle.

For my only family member, I will not and cannot kill my relatives righteously.

The teacher has announced to the outside world that he has drawn a clear line with himself, and will never have anything to do with it again.

Some officials who usually had friction with him also took the opportunity to add insult to injury, causing him to lose his position as Prince Shaofu.

The outside world also knew that his younger brother was trained by himself, and now he was murdered because of a brothel girl.

So even if it is to kill relatives righteously, the only increase will be infamy.

The prestige and future that I have gained through hard work in the past will be wiped out because of my younger brother!

So he had to hide it, and he had to hide it for the rest of his life...

"There is no turning back now! Even if I get on the bandit ships of Huangchengwei and Dongchang, with my outstanding talents, I will definitely be able to make great achievements!"

Xu Youzhen finally convinced herself to cross the insurmountable threshold in her heart.

After making up his mind, he took up a pen and wrote quickly, and then called a servant: "Take my pen and go invite Master Feng Daofeng from the Ministry of Rites."

"Yes! Master!" The servant hurried out with the letter in his pocket.

Not long after, Director Feng rushed over in a hurry.

Feng Dao, who seems to be honest and honest, is actually tactful in life.

He has outstanding ability and is good at communication, so he gets along well with the officials of the six ministries.

However, he acted too cunningly and insidiously, so Xu Youzhen didn't treat him very much.

But at this time, there is really no one under him who is suitable for that position.

What I need most at the moment is someone who is capable today and tomorrow, who understands the world and people, and who is able to flirt with others, so that I can consolidate my new relationship.

After summing up, only Feng Daolao was able to do it.

"Elder Ge, what do you order me to come here?" Feng Dao bowed and asked cautiously.

Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "Youdao, the family is not an officialdom, so there is no need to be so polite, let's sit down and drink tea."

When Feng Dao heard this, he couldn't hide his excitement.

In the past, every time I asked for a meeting, Mr. Xu Ge not only closed the door, but also posted a few times to scold him for being fond of forming cliques and forming cliques for personal gain...

"Yes."

What happened to Mr. Ge today.

Before Feng Dao could figure it out, he saw Xu Youzhen looking at him.

"Youdao, didn't I hear you say that the salary of Qingshui Yamen, Ministry of Rites, is not enough for you to support your family? I plan to recommend you to serve in the Imperial City Guard."

"Could it be that you want to dismiss me?" Cold sweat began to ooze from Feng Dao's forehead.

"May I ask Mr. Ge, are you going to let the young one take up any position?" Feng Dao got up anxiously, and asked with a bow.

"I plan to recommend you to be the Secretary of the Imperial City." Xu Youzhen's eyes were full of smiles.

"Imperial City Siqian... what happened!" Feng Dao was ecstatic in his heart.

No one knows the reputation of Huangchengwei in the capital.

But he doesn't care!As long as there is money to be made and the position is high and powerful, he doesn't care about the East and West factories, let alone the Imperial City Secretary.

Will it be confiscated by hundreds of officials and Qingliu Shilin?To his mother's Qingliu, to his mother's Baiguan.

There is an old man and an old woman in the family, and there are children who are not yet grown up. Can a clear name be exchanged for a lot of money?

Feng Dao didn't care what others cared about.

Besides, the imperial city guards are the emperor's personal guards, so no matter how many people ask someone to find connections, they may not be able to get in.

Seeing the doubts on Feng Dao's face, Xu Youzhen showed her cards directly, since she wanted Feng Dao to be her contact person, she should speak clearly.

"Master Xu Xinxu, the Commander of the Imperial City Guard, came over just now and asked me to recommend a suitable candidate. I immediately thought of you."

Hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Feng Daocai fully confirmed that this time was not Xu Ge's test for him.

Kneeling down as if he had nothing to repay, he quickly knelt down: "Thank you, Mr. Xu Ge, for your promotion! The kindness and virtue will never be forgotten!"

"That's great. You should go back to rest earlier. I'll go to the official department to inform you tomorrow morning. You can go to the Imperial City Guard to report directly." Xu Youzhen nodded.

"Also, when you arrive at the Imperial City Guard, listen more, watch more and do more things, and ask less if you have nothing to do, otherwise you will annoy Master Xu, and no one can save you!"
