Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 463 Mindless and unhappy

Xu family.

Gu Qing was eating noodles when Princess Huaiqing led her entourage in. The whole meal was a mess, and after everyone was finally seated, Princess Huaiqing took out the imperial edict.

"A senior official in the Ministry of Justice?"

Gu Qing had read many books, and at this moment he couldn't pretend to be innocent. So he recited: "The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the penal codes and decrees of the whole country, to assist the emperor in rectifying the people. It is responsible for the appropriateness of the severity of laws and regulations, the fairness of hearings and judgments, the appropriateness of the leniency and urgency of pardons, and the amount of punishment and recovery of stolen goods..." He had this content in his mind, but he still didn't know what this was all about.

"This is a sixth-rank official."

Xu Pingzhi felt quite bitter. He had been in officialdom for many years and was still only a seventh-rank official, while his son-in-law started as a sixth-rank official.

Ever since Gu Qing came to the Xu family, Xu Pingzhi felt that his status in the family had been declining again and again, and now his son-in-law was even more powerful than him in terms of official position.

"Gu Qing, once you arrive at the Ministry of Justice, if there's anything you don't understand, you should come to me often."

Princess Huaiqing smiled slightly.

The matter of the Marquis of Pingyuan involved Gu Qing, and Princess Huaiqing knew that the emperor was going to make things difficult for him. Therefore, she prepared a countermeasure in advance and used her words to save Gu Qing from a disaster. Princess Huaiqing also wanted to take this opportunity to win over Gu Qing and remove Xu Lingyue, this young girl, from Gu Qing's career.

“Brother Gu Qing”.

Xu Lingyue, a seasoned green tea, grabbed Gu Qing's wrists with both hands, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "You must work hard with the princess and make me a noblewoman."

Gu Qing remained silent, caught in the middle, while Xu Lingyue and Huaiqing exchanged a glance.

"Gu Qing."

Princess Huaiqing pulled Gu Qing over again and said, "If you're going to be an official in the Ministry of Justice, how can you not have a horse? Come, let me show you the horses." Princess Huaiqing pulled Gu Qing up, and right outside the gate of the Xu residence, there stood many magnificent horses.

Xu Pingzhi, a military officer who had participated in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, couldn't take his eyes off the sturdy horses. After showing Gu Qing the horses, Princess Huaiqing led him to a large horse with a silver mane and tail, majestic and elegant.

"Good horse!"

Xu Qi'an happened to be returning from outside, riding his family's little mare, when he saw Gu Qing sitting on that magnificent horse, giving off a feeling of a young hero, full of vigor and spirit.

"It was a good horse to begin with."

Princess Huaiqing stroked the horse's mane, looked at Gu Qing, and said, "Try to make it run away."

Gu Qing was taken aback, looked at the horse beneath him, and said, "I can't."

It won't work; this horse needs to learn.

Princess Huaiqing, holding the reins, leaped onto the horse as well. Clutching the reins in her hand, she nestled into Gu Qing's arms and said, "Let me teach you. To ride a horse, you must first do this..." Princess Huaiqing pulled Gu Qing's hands around her waist and whispered, "Next, I'll take the lead, and you'll be the second horse. Let's go for a spin."

The word "horse" was meant for Xu Lingyue.

Xu Lingyue started drinking tea, and Huaiqing didn't stand on ceremony.

With a flick of the reins by Huaiqing, the steed began to walk. It was a gait, but faster than a normal horse's trot, and it looked grand and elegant. This was a special skill possessed by only a very few horses, a "long walk" that could only be achieved through rigorous training. When a normal horse runs, it naturally bounces up and down, but this steed's long walk was steady, relaxed, and leisurely.

"To get a horse to run, you have to do it like this..."

Huaiqing flicked the reins, causing the horse to gallop, and he rose and fell in Gu Qing's arms, making Xu Lingyue's eyes redden as she watched.

This brother-in-law is so lucky.

Xu Qi'an sighed. He had clearly wanted to show off in front of this noble lady, but Gu Qing had stolen the limelight. After running, Huaiqing reined in his horse in front of the Xu residence, looking at Xu Lingyue with a provocative expression.

"Gu Qing, do you like this horse?"

"I like it. I like it very much."

Gu Qing held Huai Qing close, seemingly reluctant to let go of her.

"Then you should name this horse."

Huaiqing said happily, "From now on, this horse is yours."

By granting Gu Qing an official position and then gifting him a large horse, Huaiqing was trying to get closer to Gu Qing in front of Xu Lingyue. This also meant that Huaiqing was directly taking action and joining the ranks of those trying to seize Gu Qing.

Xu Qi'an stood by, watching the commotion, until Gu Qing named the horse "Bao Ma" (meaning "precious horse"), at which point he couldn't hold back his excitement.

"Why is it called this?"

Xu Qi'an asked, puzzled.

Gu Qing stroked the BMW's mane and said, "Because this is a precious horse."

"..."

Xu Qi'an was speechless. When he heard that Gu Qing was actually a sixth-rank official, Xu Qi'an spread his hands and wanted to lie down.

I can't take this anymore!
But even if it's impossible to continue, we still have to keep doing it.

That day was the fifteenth of October, a Jiazi day. While on guard duty, Xu Qi'an was still thinking about the death of the junior officer of the Jinwu Guard when suddenly he heard cries for help in his ears. Amidst those cries of "Save me," Sangbo Lake exploded, Yongzhen Shanhe Temple collapsed, and Emperor Yuanjing was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. In an instant, a storm broke out.

Princess Huaiqing frowned slightly, stroking the Earth Book to gather information, trying to figure out what had happened inside the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple.

Xu Qi'an was also gossiping there, not intending to participate. However, during the night watchman's raid on the house, Xu Qi'an saw Zhu Yinluo, whom Gu Qing had named as a bad guy, bullying the family of a convicted official. Xu Qi'an could no longer tolerate it and directly drew his sword and slashed Zhu Yinluo. At that moment, Xu Qi'an rediscovered his original intention to uphold justice, and his martial arts heart became even more acute. At the same time, he was imprisoned in the night watchman's jail.

"Seven days from now, Xu Qi'an will be executed."

Wei Yuan relayed this message to Gu Qing.

So how can we save Xu Qi'an's life? We should make him the person in charge of the Sangbo case so that he can make amends for his past mistakes.

Gu Qing asked the Princess to intercede, and the result was that Gu Qing would be in charge of the Sangbo case, assisted by Xu Qi'an, and the two of them would have half a month to solve the case.

After leaving prison, Xu Qi'an saw Gu Qing and heard about the Sangbo case. He sighed deeply and said, "I never expected it, I never expected it would still fall into your hands."

"Are you unhappy?"

Gu Qing asked.

"Of course I'm not happy."

Xu Qi'an said, "Do you know what our combination is like? It's the classic combination of 'No Brains' and 'Grumpy'."

Previously, Xu Qi'an often suffered setbacks when he was by Gu Qing's side. Afterwards, Xu Qi'an silently summarized his experiences. After summarizing and summarizing, he always felt that Gu Qing hadn't done anything wrong. In the end, Xu Qi'an realized that the combination of the two of them was wrong.

Gu Qing is a complete airhead, while Xu Qi'an is witty, talented, and dashing. Because of Gu Qing's airheadedness, he becomes unhappy.
