Bang bang bang-

It was a good time to sleep late at night, so he was suddenly awakened by the knock on the door. Xu Xun's first reaction was to rub his eyes and look at the sky. He found that it was still dark outside. It was obviously not dawn. He was a little confused. After a while, he came back from the sleepy haze, put on a casual dress, and walked out with his shoes under his feet.

Until this time, he secretly thought that he should not be so stubborn to clear all the girls out at night, but to send someone in the room outside. Otherwise, if he also used this trick in the middle of winter to get him up from the warm bed and open the door, it would be too torment. Moreover, the cold wind would have to freeze him to death when the door opened.

"Who is it midnight?"

As soon as Xu Xun opened the door, he saw Abao carrying a lantern. He was shocked. You know, the two doors were closed after nightfall. Even though Abao was still young, he couldn't come in at any time. At this moment, the little guy was able to come and knock on his door. It was definitely a big deal. He took a deep breath and simply pulled the person in.

"Young Master, it's Li Qianhu from the Beizhen Fushi Department who came here in person!" As Bao told the news directly, seeing that Xu Xun was indeed surprised and inexplicably, he lowered his voice and explained, "Li Qianhu did not bring his entourage, but he wore a hood. He went to the door to ask for a meeting and said that he had something important to look for the young master. Fortunately, Uncle Jin Liu was on duty tonight. He went out to take a look and called me up and asked me to come in to report to you."

Xu Xun felt a sudden slap in his heart and asked, "Who knows what he has come?"

"Brother Qiao and Brother Liu know that they are always on the door, even if Li Qianhu wears a hood, they may be able to recognize it. After all, Li Qianhu has been here in the past. There is also Uncle Jin Liu, and Aunt Ying who is in charge of the second gate, and Mrs. Xu who is guarding the door in this yard. However, Mrs. Ying and Mrs. Xu should only know that someone is anxious to find the young master in the middle of the night. As for the others, I haven't seen him all the way..."

"But you're so loud that you're knocking on the door, you'll have a reaction in the courtyard."

Xu Xun listened carefully to the movement outside, and he heard the voice of the guy in the ear. He couldn't help laughing. Seeing Abao suddenly realized, he hurriedly raised the lantern and planned to blow out the candle inside, he waved his hand to stop him. After hearing a series of footsteps, he opened the door. Sure enough, there were two maids wearing clothes and uncombed their hair. When he saw him, he hurriedly saluted. At this time, he said lightly: "It's okay, someone outside is looking for me for urgent matters. You all go back to sleep, just think that it's not the case."

The girls in the yard knew that Xu Xun was talking nonsense. They looked at each other and responded quickly, and immediately went back to their ear rooms, one left and one right. At this time, Xu Xun closed the door and asked Abao to help them dress their clothes, shoes, thighs and belts. The master and servant left the yard one after another.

After nightfall, the uncle's mansion only had the bright tiles on both sides of the road. The lights were extinguished everywhere. He felt a sense of darkness when walking on it, but the road was too peaceful, and there was not even a person who stopped him. Knowing that Abao had just come in and alarmed people. Outsiders avoided it, Xu Xun was satisfied. When he saw an elderly servant salute at the second door, he nodded slightly when he passed by.

“No need to keep the door.”

These five short words made Aunt Ying's heart thrill. Those who came to see the young master at midnight would never get rid of those people who were close to the young master, and there must be important matters. And what big thing actually required the young master to go out in the middle of the night. This was even more frightening. So she lowered her head and agreed, but until the two figures in front and behind disappeared, Fang started to close the door in a hurry. The copper door lock was locked tightly, and she immediately let out a long sigh.

Anyway, I have to warn those close to you tomorrow not to gossip about this matter!

At the middle of the night, although the tea room had already sent hot water to the masters of the two generations of old and young for use in the middle of the night, it was closed early. As for the kitchen, the stove was turned off, and all the snacks and so on were cold. In addition, Li Yifeng didn't want to disturb too much at this moment. When he sat in the small flower hall, he didn't care that he didn't even have a sip of hot water or a snack. He just waited patiently, and he was distracted from time to time thinking about the previous questioning in the North Town Fushi. He didn't know how long he had been waiting, but he finally heard the creaking sound of the door pushing.

"Mr. Xu is here!"

"It's midnight, and I'll wake up in a while. You should be glad that this is not the twelfth month of winter, otherwise you have to wait for at least an hour in the cold room." After joking, Xu Xun sat down opposite Li Yifeng. Knowing that there was Abao guarding outside the door, he didn't have to worry, so he asked straightforwardly, "What made you come to me so late?"

"Of course it's a big deal!" Li Yifeng habitually tapped the handrail with his fingers, and said word by word, "When we were drinking, didn't you ask me to send someone to follow Zhang Cai? Today, I learned that someone had visited Ma Wensheng, so I just followed him in person. Who knew that he came out of the Ma Mansion and made me have an incredible show! Do you know that you just put on the name of a spy in Tartar before, and the person who had scared Xu Jing, and later you told me that this person was probably missing from the West Factory with a small flag named Jiang Shanfei. He was actually planning to rob Zhang Cai's way!"

"Chasing Dao? How could it be a calamity?"

"It's just impossible, so it's incredible. This guy was very tough. After ate twenty boards, he insisted that he saw Zhang Cai having money and planned to rob him. I expose him as a small flag of the West Factory and the head of the Ministry of Justice. He immediately refused to say a word."

Hearing this, Xu Xun's face became extremely strange: "I said Lao Li, you wouldn't tell me that the Jinyiwei would only use the stern way to deal with such a stubborn guy?"

"Isn't that Lord Ye not allowed us to use those messy methods?" Li Yifeng didn't notice that Xu Xun's name suddenly changed, and he curled his lips angrily for a moment, "This Beizhen Fushi is more righteous than the Ministry of Justice. Apart from the whip, he is not allowed to use the most common finger-pinching stick. In addition, seeing that guy can endure the torture, he is stubborn and hard, so I can't kill him, so I can only wait and slow down. But I won't say anything to you, and he will definitely draw something in a few days."

"Well... it's fine, but this matter must be kept confidential and you must not disclose the news."

"Hey, I know, Lord Ye used to respect those old men so much, and I think they are all hypocritical people!"

Xu Xun knew that Li Yifeng was because Liu Jian and others had been trying to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger before, and planned to make him fight between Xu Xun and Ye Guang for the Jinyiwei, so he felt hatred in his heart, so he said nonsense: "You don't have to be too arbitrary before things are found out. I know this. By the way, you are so anxious to come to the door, probably not for such a country, right?"

"Mr. Xu is a wise man! If Jiang Shanfei violated this matter, it would be fine, but he would have to attack Zhang Cai. I have heard of this. It is good, but he is stubborn. Just because someone impeached him and turned his back on the selection method, he would rather leave the Wenxuan Department than go home to recuperate. What would he react when he encounters such a thing now? I am afraid that he will send a memorial tomorrow, and then the next storm is out of control. So I invited the person to the Beizhen Fushi. As for trying to persuade him, you will only take action after thinking about it."

As for whether there were any other means to add to the word "Ask", Xu Xun couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw Li Yifeng suddenly regaining his hippie face. However, when he just came out of the house tonight, he was ready to pull him away. After shaking his head, he could only sigh and say, "I'm so good, can I still say I can't go?"

At night, most of the yamen on both sides of Qianbu Lounge had turned off the lights, and even the officials at night did not sleep all night. After all, it was rare to open the city gate at night to report in, so most of them went to dream of Zhou Gong. Only the Jinyiwei North Town Fushi Office on the west side of the Daming Gate was still brightly lit, and people were in and out from time to time. This habitual situation did not attract much attention. After all, the Jinyiwei back street was always a idler to avoid, and no one wanted to get involved.

At the second moment of the ugliness, two riders, one in front and one behind, turned into the back street of Jinyiwei. A few people came out from the North Town Fushishi immediately, and they led their horses in well-trained. Seeing that their adults brought one more person back, they didn't even ask any questions. Xu Xun, who was also wearing a hood, was taken to the front of a house by Li Yifeng, and looked back at people.

"It's inside. I'm too lazy to deal with such Confucian scholars who speak truthfully. I'm so tired! Go in by yourself, I'll stay outside."

As soon as Xu Xun pushed the door and stepped over the threshold, he heard the man holding a book in his hand say without raising his head: "You lord, when will you let me go? Even if that person is the main criminal who is being investigated by the Jinyiwei, he has nothing to do with me. He has no intention to detain me, the imperial official, until now. Your lord is really brave!"

"No matter how brave Li Qianhu is, he is not as brave as you, Lord Zhang. If you suffer such a robbery, you can even read books."

Xu Xun replied with a smile, and when Zhang Cai raised his head and recognized him, he showed a shocked expression. He bowed and said, "The incident happened suddenly and it was important, so Li Qianhu can only keep Lord Zhang, you down first. If not, I am afraid that this case should have been completely exposed tomorrow morning, right?"
