In the government office, Lord Liu came down to inspect.
Since Daliang gradually fell into decline, Lord Liu, the "Lord", has been a mere figurehead. Not only does he not take care of his work, but he only conducts inspections once every two or three months.
In the past, Qi Yan would definitely be here every day. But today, he was called away by the guy from Xuanhu Tavern. If Lord Liu catches him and makes a scene, Qi Yan will definitely lose his job.
When Lord Liu arrived at the prison where Qi Yan was in charge, the bearded man and his gang were telling dirty jokes. When they saw Lord Liu walking in with his burly build and big belly, they were all stunned. Turning around, they saw the little jailer that Qi Yan had asked to take over the shift standing behind Lord Liu in fear, shaking his head slightly at them.
Big Beard and the others looked at each other, forget it, Qi Yan is doomed this time.
Lord Liu glanced around and snorted coldly: "Where is the jailer?" The belts of official jailers and trainee jailers are of different colors. The belt of this little jailer is obviously an amateur. Even if Lord Liu is not doing his job properly, he can't fail to see this.
The little jailer didn't dare to say anything. Big Beard stroked his beard, rolled his eyes and began to think of a solution.
"I'm talking to you, Lord Liu." The bearded man leaned against the iron railing: "You are an adult, how can you be treated like this?"
The words he used made the scholar turn his head and chuckle.
Lord Liu looked at the bearded man impatiently: "What's the point of talking! Are you trying to get close to me? Why don't you think about how to get close to the swords and gloves, so that when they chop off your heads, they can do it quickly and not let you suffer!"
Lord Liu's words are annoying. The bearded man and the thin man don't like to hear it, but there is no way. They have to buy some time for Brother Qi Yan. After all, they invited everyone to eat the food from Xuanhu Restaurant. How can they be ungrateful?
Although he said so, Lord Liu is also very smart. Look at his appearance, like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.
The thin man looked at Lord Liu with a smile and said, "Lord Liu, you don't come down to chat with us on weekdays, and let these stupid jailers take advantage of you. It's obviously because of your good teaching that they can get along with us so happily!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I always want to chat with you, but I just can't see you." The big bearded man hurriedly followed.
Lord Liu narrowed his eyes, and after a long time, he snorted with complacency: "You guys are sensible, but don't try to please me!"
The big bearded man and others smiled, hiding the mockery in their eyes. At this time, the scholar stood up and saluted Lord Liu respectfully.
"Master Qi Yan was called by Master Yu of Xuanhu Tavern." A smile flashed in the scholar's eyes, but there was endless coldness in his eyes: "Master Yu Xi should have taken good care of Master Liu. Obviously, he called Master Qi Yan to go at this time for something."
These two sentences made Master Liu's face turn blue.
He knew how much money he had received from Yu Xi, and Master Yu actually said that he was a close friend of a little prison guard under his command, and that he only needed to give him a holiday when he needed him.
How could he let go of such an easy thing with money, and he agreed to it immediately. Master Yu was also a rich man, and he would send some rare treasures from time to time, so that Master Liu could live the life he had always dreamed of.
This was the first time that Lord Liu encountered such a situation. Because he had never come down to inspect, he didn't know when Qi Yan was called away and what he did after being called away. This time when he came to inspect, Qi Yan was not there, and the scholar's aggressive eyes seemed to mock him for accepting bribes privately...
Lord Liu's face turned pale, and he glared at the scholar fiercely, snorted heavily, and then left in anger.
It was not until the little jailer came back with his hands on his chest in fear that the bearded man and the others dared to speak loudly.
"Hey, scholar, you were so domineering just now!" The thin man came over with a smile: "Why did Lord Liu leave?"
The scholar smiled calmly: "Mr. Yu must have given him a lot of benefits. Even if Qi Yan is not in the yamen every day, he has no right to say anything."
"Oh, I understand, so if you bring up Mr. Yu Xi, Lord Liu won't dare to do anything, right!"
The scholar didn't say anything, but looked into the distance with a meaningful look.
The dim corner of the wall seemed to have always been so dark, with a small area and no light... Just enough for a person to stand close to the wall so that people can't see him.
Shrugging, the scholar sat back on the bed, took out a book from under the pillow, and read it leisurely.
There was still noise and laughter in the prison, but the Xuanhu Tavern, two streets away from the government office, closed its doors early.
In the most luxurious room on the top floor, the gauze blocked the light of the day. The room was dark. The fruit fragrance in the incense burner had long been burned out. There seemed to be a wisp of green smoke coming out from the cracks in the carved patterns, filling the room with warmth.
Various clothes were scattered on the ground, extending all the way to the bed in the inner room.
The curtains that were arranged and hung in the morning were now all down, blocking the scene inside. Behind the gauze, the music could be seen as two intertwined sounds, the ups and downs of the weak breath and the even breathing.
After a while, the quilt moved slightly, as if someone woke up. Looking over again, a slender and strong arm had already swung open the curtain from inside.
Yu Xi squinted his eyes with a headache and stretched out his hand to pinch his eyebrows. After a pause, he suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at his body with some disbelief. His lower body was buried in the quilt, and his upper body was naked and in close contact with the air. He was stunned for a long time.
He could feel that his whole body was not covered at all, and even his private parts were a little damp.
... Damp? !
Yu Xi turned his head suddenly, and saw a little face with tears on it sleeping uneasily beside him. The person frowned, as if he had experienced something bad in his dream.
Yu Xi couldn't be more familiar with this person... Qi Yan.
Wait a minute! Qi Yan? !
Yu Xi lifted the quilt a little with shaking hands, and saw that the other person was also naked, and his body was covered with red and purple spots. How could Yu Xi, who had been through sex for a long time, not know that those were the marks left after lovemaking.
The bed under his butt was slightly damp, and it was obvious that the two had not cleaned up yet. Yu Xi had a headache, and wanted to recall what happened before, but found that his brain was not working well. Maybe... he indulged himself too much?
However...
Yu Xi turned his head, looked at Qi Yan to confirm again, and nodded with relief.
It's better to be Qi Yan than anyone else... Fortunately, luckily.
[The male protagonist's favorability towards Qi Yan +10, current favorability: 80]
But... how did he end up sleeping with Qi Yan? What happened before? When did he call Qi Yan over?
Yu Xi's mind was a little confused, he needed to calm down.
