Nightwatcher

Chapter 345: Cleaning the Toilet

In mid-spring, the warm wind suffuses people, and thousands of sails on the river are exhausted.

Xu Qi'an stood on the deck and watched, watching barges, official ships, and building ships slowly sailing, the sails swelled to the limit, and he went back to last year in a daze.

However, it was mid-winter at that time, and the wind blowing on the river was like cutting the surface, unlike the splendor of spring now. Not far from the shore, there were flocks of wild ducks, so plump and mouth-watering.

The distance is too far, my qi machine can't capture the Wufu system, it really is low, I think I am a sixth-rank, I can't even fly Xu Qi'an sighed in disappointment.

And even with light work, it is far from being able to walk on water, there must be floating objects.

Maybe he won't be able to float on the water until he reaches the fifth grade of strength.

"Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao are not here, without the support of Lao Song, how boring this journey is." Xu Qi'an sighed.

As soon as I thought this in my heart, out of the corner of my eye, I saw an acquaintance wearing an indigo dress and dressed as a maid, coming to the deck.

She is 30-35 years old, with an ordinary appearance, with a proud temperament between her eyebrows and eyes, and a smile on the corner of her eyes, as if she came out to enjoy the warm and pleasant river breeze.

The two found each other almost at the same time, and the woman's face suddenly collapsed.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

Xu Qi'an stared at her in disbelief.

The aunt's face twitched slightly, and she snorted coldly: "It's not that enemies don't get together."

I should have thought a long time ago that his ability to solve crimes is top-notch in the world, how could he not be dispatched for a case like the bloody massacre of three thousand miles.

Chu Xianglong told her that this trip to Beijing was to deceive others and there were sufficient guards, so he chose to go with the mission investigating the "Three Thousand Miles of Blood Massacre".

She knew about this case, and as for who was in charge of the case, she was in a very bad mood at the time and didn't bother to ask.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Xu Qi'an looked at her.

"What does it have to do with you?"

With a cold face, the woman threatened: "You are not allowed to call me aunt in the future. Who is your superior and who is the chief officer in the mission? If you dare to call me aunt again, I will let him deal with you."

"Aunt, Aunt, Aunt, Aunt" Xu Qi'an shouted in multiple voices.

The bastard woman was furious, her chest heaved with anger, she gave him a vicious look, and said cruelly: "You wait for me."

She left angrily.

Jiaofang Secretary, Yingmei Xiaoge.

Fuxiang slept until the sun was high and woke up, wearing a thin gauze, taking a bath and dressing up under the service of the maid.

The close servant girl smiled lightly and said, "Master Xu is going to leave Beijing for business again?"

Fu Xiang was taken aback, tilted her head, looked at the servant girl in surprise, "How do you know?"

The servant girl pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "Yesterday, the bed was shaken until the third watch. Normally, Mr. Xu takes pity on his wife, so he definitely wouldn't be so late."

Fu Xiang said angrily: "Damn girl, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, even my aunt dares to make fun of her."

While laughing and laughing, the servant girl was suddenly taken aback, her face was extremely strange, and she said in a trembling voice: "Mother, you have white hair."

Fu Xiang's smile slowly subsided, and said lightly: "Just pull it out, there's no fuss."

After dressing up, she sent the servant girl away, and sat alone in front of the mirror, staring at her charming face, without saying a word for a long time.

"Bang!"

The woman pushed open the door of Chu Xianglong's room, pinching her waist in maid uniform, and said angrily, "I've been offended by a guy in the beater's yamen."

Chu Xianglong, who was meditating cross-legged and treating dark wounds in his meridians, opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?"

At this time, the woman didn't show any emotions or anger, and said word by word: "Yin Gong Xu Qi'an."

She has been bullied by Xu Qi'an several times, although the revenge of being smashed by gold has already been avenged, but when she watched Monk Jingsi fight in the ring last time, her golden body was taken advantage of by that kid.

The concubine thought that she was a woman, so she endured the aggrievedness. She didn't expect this guy to bully her and become addicted, and just now he even slandered her as an aunt.

Chu Xianglong frowned, "What did he do to you?"

"He offended me." The concubine's expression was cold, and the maid's clothes and mediocre facial features could hardly conceal her dignity, and she said calmly:

"You don't have to go too far, it's not a big deal at all, just small punishments and big warnings."

After finishing speaking, seeing that Chu Xianglong did not agree, but frowned tightly, she frowned slightly, and said with a sneer, "Even if I go to the northern border, I will still be a princess."

Chu Xianglong shook his head, "My concubine misunderstood, that kid is the organizer of this trip to the north."

The princess opened her small mouth slightly, her gaze was slightly dull.

Chu Xianglong went on to say: "But don't worry, he won't be proud for long, and I will punish him. Even if the host officer appointed by His Majesty is temporary, a silver gong is a silver gong. After all, they are small people."

As a general with real power, the lieutenant general of King Zhenbei, ordinary dignitaries and officials, he really doesn't pay attention to him.

Three days passed in a flash, and the waterway was relatively stable. This kind of large official ship would not encounter water bandits. It was large in scale and high in class. Anyone could tell that there were big people with different identities living on the ship.

And such a big man is often accompanied by masters and elite guards. Ordinary water bandits only dare to attack small merchant ships, and occasionally attack small government barges.

However, there was one thing that troubled Xu Qi'an. In spring, there was abundant rainfall, and the river was turbulent. It was not as calm as in winter. From time to time, there would be river winds and big waves.

For those who live in the cabin, although it is uncomfortable, it is not unbearable. But the imperial guards who lived in the bilge felt uncomfortable, and several of them had already fallen ill.

On this day, after lunch, Xu Qi'an sat cross-legged in the room, "Dong Dong", the door knocked.

Xu Qi'an, who heard the footsteps in advance, opened his eyes, frowned and said, "Come in."

The door was not locked, and it was easily pushed open. A thick and short man stepped over the threshold, bowed his head and cupped his fists, saying:

"grown ups."

This short, but burly man is the leader of the imperial army, centurion Chen Xiao.

Xu Qi'an said displeased: "What is it?"

He was a little annoyed that this vulgar military man had no manners and disturbed his practice.

"My lord, some soldiers are sick, please go and have a look." After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he seemed afraid that Xu Qi'an would refuse, and hurriedly added:

"The humble job is for fear of causing an epidemic and endangering the adults on board."

This reason attracted Xu Qi'an's attention, and he immediately put on his boots and went to the bilge with the centurion Chen Xiao.

"Boom boom"

Under the leadership of Chen Xiao, Xu Qi'an entered the cabin along the wooden steps, and a dull and unpleasant smell poured into the nostrils, the smell of sweat, musty, and ammonia.

This is because the air is not circulated, but it is crowded with people, sleeping and excreting in the bilge, so bacteria are bred, and seasick people will fall ill.

Even those who are not sick may appear sluggish.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, a pair of eyes looked over, and after finding out that it was the superior and the chief officer of the mission, the soldiers straightened their backs and kept silent.

Xu Qi'an walked to the bedside of a soldier who was coughing non-stop and had a low fever. The so-called bed was actually a narrow and simple wooden board, so that the cabin could accommodate a hundred soldiers.

"It's nothing serious. I have Si Tianjian's detoxification pill here. You only need to dissolve one pill in water, and each person who is infected can be cured after taking a sip."

Xu Qi'an made a judgment, immediately reached into his pocket, lightly tapped the surface of the small jade mirror, and poured out a porcelain bottle.

After recognizing the owner with a drop of blood, the book from the ground has a certain kind of close connection with the owner, and you can take things as you like, and you are not afraid of the things inside "crashing" pouring out.

He gave Chen Xiao a detoxification pill, and asked him to crush it and throw it into a water bag, and gave it to the sick soldiers to drink.

Si Tianjian's high-grade pills had immediate effects. The sick soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that their lungs were no longer uncomfortable, their coughs were relieved, their minds changed from drowsy to clear, and their physical conditions had changed drastically except for some weakness.

"It's not uncomfortable anymore"

"I'm ready."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."

The rest of the soldiers also smiled, looking at Xu Qi'an with gratitude and enthusiasm.

Xu Qi'an nodded slightly, then glanced at the toilet under the bed, couldn't help frowning, and scolded:

"What are you doing in the bilge, why don't you go on the deck to get some air. It's so smoky, it's no wonder you don't get sick."

One hundred people and one hundred toilets don't seem to be brushing frequently. This is equivalent to living in a latrine. The air is not circulated. Spring is the season for bacteria to grow. How can you not get sick?

If you can be diligent, clean the toilet every day, and go outside to get some fresh air every day, with the physique of the soldiers, they shouldn't fall ill easily.

"this"

Facing Xu Qi'an's questioning, Chen Xiao showed a bitter expression, and said: "General Chu has an order that we are not allowed to leave the bilge, and we are not allowed to go on the deck. Brothers usually eat dry food in the bilge."

Hearing this, Xu Qi'an's expression darkened, he stared at Chen Xiao, and asked, "Why?"

"General Chu ordered that there are female relatives on the ship, and they often go to the deck for a walk to view the scenery. They are afraid that we will offend the female relatives. If we disobey, we will hit twenty military sticks."

The sick soldier said while coughing.

Xu Qi'an didn't respond, his eyes swept across the dim bilge again, at the soldiers with straight backs, and at the toilet at their feet.

The damp smell in the air seemed to be a hundred times stronger at this moment, making Xu Qi'an want to escape from here.

And these soldiers have to sleep here, rest here, and even eat in such an environment.

Chen Xiao looked at him silently.

A hundred pairs of eyes looked at him silently.

Xu Qi'an suddenly understood that this visit was a cover, and the real purpose was to let him uphold justice.

Soldiers are human too, and they can no longer endure such an environment, and they are full of resentment. At the same time, in their eyes, Xu Yinluo was the host of the mission, the one appointed by the imperial court.

They had grievances and appeals, so they could only turn to Xu Qi'an, and thought that only Xu Yinluo could uphold justice for them.

If the organizer also told them to stay in the bilge and not allow them to go out, then they would give up.

"I only have one order now." Xu Qi'an frowned.

"My lord, please give me instructions." Chen Xiao lowered his head and clasped his fists.

"My lord please tell me."

All the soldiers stood up, bowed their heads and cupped their fists.

Xu Qi'an pointed to the deck above his head, and shouted: "Go up and clean the toilet."

"yes!"

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."

"Walk around, go clean the toilet, I can't stand the smell anymore."

Cheers sounded all at once.
