A quarter of an hour later, at this time, Sun Shangshu, who had initially calmed down, returned to the hall out of breath, took a big sip of the hot tea offered by the old housekeeper.

"Yellow-haired boy, dare to threaten this official, ignorant and stupid!"

After scolding, Sun Shangshu changed the subject and told the housekeeper: "You go to the policeman's yamen immediately, and let that damned dog thief come to see me."

Even though the other party broke the rules, Sun Shangshu couldn't hold back his temper now. Of course it would be best if he could talk, first keep his son safe, and then settle the score with the dog thief surnamed Xu.

The steward nodded yes, turned around and was about to leave when he saw a guard crossing the threshold, clasped his fists and said, "Master Shang Shu, then Xu Qi'an is here again."

Just come!

Sun Shangshu's eyes shot out, and he straightened up instantly: "Let him in."

In a short while, the guards brought Xu Qi'an in silver gong uniform, and the dog thief surnamed Xu walked around the courtyard with a smile on his face, unlike the sullen face and suppressed anger when he asked for an interview in the morning.

And Sun Shangshu's expression at this moment is just like Xu Qi'an at that time.

"Where is my son, Sun Yaoyue, Xu Qi'an, let him go home immediately, I can pretend that this incident never happened." Sun Shangshu didn't look sideways, as if he didn't see Xu Qi'an at all.

"What do you mean? I don't understand."

Xu Qi'an looked innocent, thought for a while, and suddenly changed his face: "Well, Sun Shangshu not only wronged my cousin for cheating in the imperial examination, but even wanted to frame me. There are such despicable and shameless people in the world."

"you"

Sun Shangshu finally moved his eyes and stared at Xu Qi'an, he didn't speak, but waved away the officials in the hall.Then, word by word:

"I think you are young and don't know the rules, so I am willing to give you a chance. If you still want to stay in the officialdom in the capital, you will let me go obediently."

Xu Qi'an shook his head and said: "Sun Shangshu must have made a mistake, I don't know what you are talking about."

After a pause, he suddenly realized, and said with concern: "Listen to the meaning of Sun Shangshu's words, no wonder something happened to your young master? Kidnapped by thieves? Tell me, I am the most eager for justice, and no one can solve the case. As long as Sun Shangshu opens his mouth, I guarantee that within a day, he will be found for you."

Playing stupid with me, Sun Shangshu got angry from his heart, and said viciously: "Xu Qi'an, don't forget that you also have family."

Xu Qi'an sighed, with a mournful expression on his face: "Master Shangshu, you don't seem to understand me. Both my parents died when I was young, and my second uncle raised me.

"However, my aunt bullied me and humiliated me in every possible way. When I was 15 years old, she kicked me out of the house and put me in a kennel. It's a pity that I don't have a father who is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops and can twist his mouth."

"Xu Qi'an!" Sun Shangshu interrupted angrily, stared at him for a long time, and said in a low voice:

"What exactly do you want? Your majesty wants to investigate the imperial examination fraud case. The Ministry of punishment and the presiding officer of the government will try it. The civil and military officials of the court will stare at it. I am the only one who has the final say. If you want to use my son as a threat, this official can only fight with you to the death. .Don't be naive!"

These days, whoever is more violent can take advantage of his cousin. Naturally, his cousin is not as important as his son. I can be "ruthless", but he can't.

"I only have one request. During Xu Xinian's imprisonment, he must not be tortured. Don't try to torture him. If he loses a finger, I will cut off one of your fingers. I will leave as many wounds on your body as there are wounds on his body.

"After the imperial examination fraud case is over, no matter whether Xu Xinian can get off the crime or not, I will let your son go as promised."

"Xu Qi'an"

Sun Shangshu was about to scold him, but Xu Qi'an suddenly turned black, his face was ferocious, and he said sharply, "Call me Lord Viscount."

Sun Shangshu softened, and said in a deep voice, "Master Viscount, why should I trust you?"

Xu Qi'an walked slowly to the table, picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, and said lightly:

"Does Sun Shangshu have a choice? Believe it or not, you have to do what I want. Unless you don't want a son-in-law. I didn't let you exonerate Xu New Year, but I just asked you not to do unnecessary things. This matter Not difficult."

He walked up to Sun Shangshu, wiped the scarlet robe, and said in a deep voice, "As you said, I also have a family."

This step was taught by Wei Yuan, but the method and plan were his own ideas, and Wei Yuan did not come up with any ideas.

Doing nothing and hoping that the opponent will be kind is nothing but a dream, and the teasing and cold reception he encountered in the Ministry of Justice this morning is just proof.

To defeat an enemy, one must grasp the opponent's weakness.

And most of the weaknesses are close relatives.However, harming family members is a big taboo, and Xu Qi'an has to consider and control the scale by himself.

Therefore, he did not imagine that only one Sun Yaoyue could save Erlang.Just make a deal between Sun Yaoyue and Sun Shangshu. In this way, the difficulty will be greatly reduced and the nature will be lighter.

As for Sun Shangshu's disagreement and insisted on torture Xu Erlang, then Xu Qi'an would do what he said.He even asked Sun Shangshu to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person.

So far, everything is within his expectations, thanks to the good grasp of the scale.

Sun Shangshu let out a sigh of relief: "Once I believe you, I will not torture Xu Erlang. I also hope that my son will be safe and sound when he returns home. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences."

"It's natural." Xu Qi'an snorted.

"But I'm not worried about you. I'm going to see Xu New Year. You can ask someone to arrange it."

As he said that, he walked to the door with steps that his relatives did not recognize, turned around suddenly, and said with a smile: "By the way, Lord Viscount is very good."

Sun Shangshu's face was gloomy, his beard trembling with anger.

"crash"

Amidst the sound of the chains sliding, the jailer opened the door leading to the prison, and a damp and rotten atmosphere rushed in.

Under the leadership of the jailer, Xu Qi'an walked through the dark passage to the cell where Xu Xinian was being held.

Xu Nian closed his eyes and rested with his back against the wall. He was wearing a prison uniform, his face was pale, and his body was stained with blood.

Seeing his little brother's miserable appearance, Xu Qi'an's face sank in vain, after all, he was a step late, and Erlang suffered a lot in prison.

He underestimated Sun Shangshu's determination to take revenge on him.

Xu Qi'an said softly: "Erlang, Erlang"

Xu Erlang froze for a moment, suspecting that he had heard wrongly, he opened his eyes in astonishment.

Chapter 88 Auntie and Ms. Wang's air fight

On the dark passage, outside the fence, the eldest brother in the policeman's uniform stood there, squinting at him.

Xu Erlang's eyes lit up immediately, he stood up from the straw mat, and the shackles moved along with him, making a "cracking" sound.

"Why did you come in? Sun Shangshu let you in?" Xu Xinian was both surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an calmly withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, and let out a sigh of relief: "It seems that it's just a skin trauma."

Then, he glanced at the jailer and said coldly, "Back off."

The jailer tactfully left.
