Chapter 558: Retention
But he saw a man on the shore running over panting, and stopped on the shore.
Qi Xiaoxian was impatient, and just wanted to rush to Soochow early to see Ruan Di and talk about his lovesickness. Therefore, when I glanced at it from a distance, I saw that the person who came was a subordinate of my Qing Officials Division, and he didn't even let the captain stop the boat, but he couldn't wait for the wind and water to be smooth at this time, and blew the boat to Dongwu with a smoke.
I was thinking about it in my heart, but when I saw the boat walking slowly and leisurely, I couldn't help it, but I was helpless, and I even resented the water under the wind boat between heaven and earth.
The little guy just ran to the shore and was about to take a breath, but he didn't think that Qi Xiaoxian didn't seem to hear his heart-rending shout just now, and went into the cabin by himself. Suddenly he couldn't care about his voice and shouted again.
The old captain looked at the cabin, as if he wanted to see through the cabin to see what Qi Xiaoxian was at this time, and then looked at the energetic young man on the shore, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, but Qi Xiaoxian didn't let him stop the boat, and he didn't dare to stop without permission.
"Stop, Commander! Command! There was a series of cries from the shore, and the man seemed to be about to shout out his heart, liver, and lungs before he would give up.
Qi Xiaoxian couldn't help but turn into annoyance again - why didn't he find out that this subordinate had such a big voice before!
He covered his ears with his hands, and his legs pounded irritably on a rudimentary table.
The voice gradually became quieter, and finally it was almost inaudible, Qi Xiaoxian took down his hands covering his ears with some pride, lifted the curtain and walked out of the cabin-
In the distance, I saw a stone-like figure on the shore, and the subordinate was still on the shore.
The faint smugness just now slowly dissolved, and the self-blame for avoiding work came to his heart, intertwined with his concern for his wife, and Qi Xiaoxian couldn't choose.
"Ruan Di shouldn't be fine!"
Qi Xiaoxian comforted himself. But he didn't tell the captain to stop the boat.
"There are talents on the emperor's side, but Ruan Di is only me, and only I can protect her!"
Another voice in his heart rebuked him loudly.
Qi Xiaoxian's face was silent, but he had already made a noise in his heart. He really couldn't leave Ruan Di to be in charge of his own cleaning department, but he couldn't do it at work.
Ruan Di has been going south to Soochow for more than half a month, and there has been no news so far. This makes him feel at ease with her, how to try the case of the Qing Officials with peace of mind without worrying about her!
The old captain seemed to see something, he slowly held the penny, and looked at the man standing at the bow of the boat with an expressionless face but in his heart painfully tangled, showing a knowing smile.
"Boat ......" Qi Xiaoxian turned his head, and found that the old man holding the boat looked at him with a smile of "The old man knows you very well", and his face showed an embarrassed look that was difficult to hide.
"Young man, what is supposed to come will come eventually. Just let it be. When the old man saw Qi Xiaoxian looking over, he had the heart to remind him.
"The old man rowed the boat back! Great work. Qi Xiaoxian seemed to have been pardoned, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After the ship docked, he followed his subordinates back to the Qing Division.
"Come to me so late, but what's the important news?" Qi Xiaoxian saw that the people were running profusely, so he walked slowly and waited for him, and asked casually.
"Commander Hui, your letter has just been sent to the Qing Officials Division, and before it can be reported to the saint, an order was issued from above, saying that there were thieves in Chang'an who had been wandering for many years, and they came in and suddenly made a disturbance in Chang'an, killing hundreds of people, and a street was bleeding overnight!"
The subordinate said, and his body trembled unconsciously-this kind of killer who overturned a street overnight is really the anger of people and gods!
"Bandits? Since I took charge of the Qing Division, I have never handled such a bloodthirsty wanted criminal? ”
After listening to the description of the subordinate, Qi Xiaoxian searched his stomach in his mind, but he couldn't find a case that matched the description.
"This incident happened not long after the emperor ascended the throne, and at that time, you had not yet handled this case."
The subordinate's voice suddenly lowered, Qi Xiaoxian understood, after all, this kind of topic is more sensitive, and it is normal for him to be reluctant to say more.
"Do you have any files from the past?"
Qi Xiaoxian is no longer entangled in his ignorance, and plans to make up for his mistakes and understand this matter from the beginning first.
"Commander, wait a moment, I'll go and get it."
The subordinate was also clever, and when he saw the question, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and went to find the file with a cigarette.
Qi Xiaoxian looked at his slippery figure, recalling what the subordinate had said just now, and only secretly said in his heart that it was a pity-
This person's ability to react, remember, and use both sides and sides are very skillful. It's just that he doesn't seem to have any ambition for things like climbing up, being promoted to an official and becoming a knight, otherwise with this person's many years of seniority in the Qing Officials Division, it is impossible to deign him Qi Xiaoxian as the commander.
This Commander may not be able to do it himself.
Qi Xiaoxian only sighed in his heart, and his face was still calm and calm.
"Commander, this is the dossier." Just thinking to himself, the subordinate had already come over with the file.
Good fellow, there's a thick stack.
"So many criminal records? Are those robbers so famous? Qi Xiao's face was slightly shocked, and he was already close to scolding in his heart!
"Ahem...... If you are in charge, you will not bother. If you don't know, please be ashamed to ask, and your subordinates will do their best to know everything. Seeing the shocked look on Qi Xiaoxian's face, the pride and pride in his heart almost overflowed.
He hurriedly lowered his head and quickly retreated.
Qi Xiaoxian sat down and was not in a hurry to flip through those files. He glanced at the table and picked up the envelope.
Inside is the order just issued by the emperor, which seems to be to ask him to go to Chang'an to investigate the case of the bloody bloodbath of Changjie by the Jianghu thieves.
Qi Xiaoxian's face was expressionless, and he tore open the seal on the envelope with a "bang" and took out the envelope inside.
"On three days of the twentieth, there were thieves in Chang'an who I had secretly tracked down for many years, creating a bloody tragedy on the long street. This time, Qi Aiqing was sent to Chang'an on the 6th of the 20th to investigate the matter, and he must live up to his mission and capture the murderer alive! Remember! ”
The content of the letter was very brief, Qi Xiaoxian swept it at a glance, and was shocked in his heart - six out of twenty, it is tomorrow!
Qi Xiaoxian didn't expect the time to be so rushed, so he was busy stuffing the envelope into his arms. ordered his little servant to put all the files into the baggage, and the two went back to the house at that moment.
"Zhiying! Zhiying! As soon as Qi Xiaoxian stepped into Ruan Di's courtyard, he shouted.
The look of anxiety in his tone was undisguised.
"Zhiying is here!" Zhiying has followed Qi Xiaoxian for decades, and it is the first time she has seen Qi Xiaoxian like this, she was startled and hurriedly agreed.
"Tonight, you packed your luggage and went south to Dongwu to find your wife! Find her by any means necessary, protect her! Qi Xiaoxian instructed while packing up his things.
