Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 48 Someone asked me to give you a message

Night watchman's office

The clear light dissipated, and Wei An and Nangong Qianrou headed straight for the dungeon.

There is no need for unnecessary communication between the two.

Wei An never asked about the case.

Just keep talking nonsense.

The targets this time were three centurions of the Jinwu Guard, several general flags, and many small flags.

The consumption of literary energy is nothing, the main consumption is time.

"Thank you for your hard work." Nangong Qianrou brought a cup of tea and handed it to Wei An.

"So polite?" Wei An took it with a smile, took two sips to moisten his throat.

Nangong Qianrou smiled, she really didn't have time to chat with him at the moment.

"Anyway, thank you very much. I know you're moving into a new house soon, so I'll give you a generous gift."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Wei An thought he must be going to report to his uncle, so he didn't want to disturb him and simply walked slowly.

It would be fine if you didn't come, but since I'm here at the night watchman's office, I have to go and say hello to my uncle.

"Mr. Wei."

"Mr. Wei."

"... "

The guards in the dungeon, the patrolmen in the yamen, the copper gong and the silver gong all addressed him as the same name when they saw him.

"Nothing's wrong."

This is not unified.

"Are you taking a day off today?"

Wei An was surprised to see Xu Qian'an in casual clothes.

Xu Qian'an gave a wry smile and didn't respond to the question, "Come on, I have something to tell you."

Look at his serious face.

Wei An went to a corner with him.

Xu Qian'an glanced around and whispered, "Today I am..."

Wei An frowned after hearing this.

After thinking it over quickly in his mind, he could only identify the person who leaked what he said as the person from the imperial manor.

But Huangzhuang is located at the foot of Dahuang Mountain, and even the head of the village rarely goes into the city, let alone the tenants.

Besides, why would the people in the imperial farm spread what he said that day?
Something is wrong!
"I feel like someone is trying to frame you. I've specifically asked Cijiu before. Confucianists of the third rank have great aspirations, and only by breaking them can they enter the second rank. The person behind this has vicious intentions. Not only does he want to make it difficult for you to enter the second rank, he also wants the current emperor to fear your Yunlu Academy." Xu Qian'an analyzed the bottleneck.

It’s professional indeed.

I’ve heard from Silver Luos before that Xu Qian’an is good at solving cases, and many Gold Luos are quite optimistic about him.

Wei An nodded in approval and bowed to him again, "Thank you."

Xu Qian'an smiled and was about to speak...

"Xu Qian'an."

Shouted.

Abrupt and unfriendly.

Wei An looked over, this face...

His name is Zhu Chengzhu, right?

The youngest son of Jinluo Zhuyang.

"Mr. Wei." Zhu Chengzhu respectfully clasped his fists towards Wei An.

When he looked at Xu Qian'an, he could not hide his disgust and arrogance. "This man is seeking revenge for personal gain and is committing crimes against his superiors. He is despicable. Mr. Wei, please do not be deceived by such a villain."

"Okay, I understand." Wei An nodded.

He naturally saw that Zhu Chengzhu was hostile to Xu Qian'an.

But at least Zhu Chengzhu did not say or do anything offensive to him.

Hit a soft nail.

Zhu Chengzhu seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

He really didn't dare to be arrogant towards Wei An.

This is what his father told him in person and repeatedly warned him.

Finally, he clasped his fists towards Wei An and left surrounded by a group of gongs.

Wei An looked at Xu Qian'an. The latter sighed and said, "Two days ago, Tingfeng, Guangxiao, and I participated in the raid on the property of a criminal official. Not only did he deliberately make things difficult for me, accusing me of being late, but he also deliberately provoked me when I tried to stop him from assaulting the criminal's wife. I couldn't stand it anymore, so..."

He paused and looked at Wei An.

"What's wrong?" Wei An cooperated and made a joke.

"I'm just trying to show off your skills. I said I'm familiar with you, but today he dared to break the law knowingly. Duke Wei will definitely find out, and he'll be in big trouble then!" Xu Qian'an was still a little angry when he said that.

"The wives of the criminal officials are as young as flowers." He sighed again.

Wei An nodded without comment.

"Then you are suspended for reflection?" he asked.

"The boss is pleading for me. Tingfeng and Guangxiao said that I should just rest at home for a few days to let that guy vent his anger. I don't mind if I can vent it. At least we can save the wife of the criminal official." Xu Qian'an looked indifferent, but there was still a hint of resentment in his words.

Did you really save him?
Wei An had something in his mind that he held back from asking.

With the power of the Zhu family, it should not be difficult to bully the wife of a convicted official.

Forget it, Xu Qian'an just wanted to have a clear idea.

"Don't worry about it. There are people like this everywhere." Wei An comforted him and said, "I'll go see my uncle."

...

When Wei An went up to the seventh floor, Nangong Qianrou just left.

The latter nodded to him and left in a hurry.

Meeting Wei Yuan's gaze, Wei An smiled and said, "I originally thought that I would see you after coming here, but now there is a situation and I have to see you. Uncle, you have to protect your nephew."

Wei Yuan seemed to know what he meant. "Since you're not interested in a career in politics, why worry about these rumors?"

"It's true that I have no intention of pursuing a career in politics, but it would be bad to bring trouble to the academy," Wei An said helplessly.

"Didn't you open up another path for Confucianism?" Wei Yuan asked.

This is said as if it has already been established.

It's just a hypothesis.

Wei An was about to refute when he suddenly understood.

Wei Yuan raised his eyes. "The reason these people are spreading your words so recklessly is simply because they are sure you can't do it. Once you do something tangible, the situation will be completely different."

"I'm afraid they will slander me and want to start an uprising." Wei An complained.

Wei Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Say this to me only once."

"Okay, I'll keep your words in mind."

Wei An raised his hands in surrender, with no intention of arguing.

Wei Yuan returned his gaze to the book, silently bidding him farewell.

"Uncle, someone asked me to bring you a message. Is the night watchman's code of conduct useful?"

Wei An said something nonsense and left.

Wei Yuan looked up.

This kind of behavior of flirting and then running away is a bit irritating.

At this time, Yang Yan and Li Yuchun came in together.

"Duke Wei, I have served since the twentieth year of Yuan Jing. I believe I have fulfilled my duties conscientiously and strictly abided by my responsibilities. I have never abused my power or violated the law, never accepted bribes, and have never oppressed the good."

"However, some of my colleagues are not like this. They act recklessly, oppressing the people and exploiting merchants. Some even go so far as to confiscate the property of convicted officials, violate their wives and family members, and embezzle their assets!"

"I am filled with resentment, and I have come here today to ask Duke Wei: are these night watchmen's rules truly effective?"

Wei Yuan was silent for a moment.

...

At this time, a room

A fair hand holding a pen is writing on the letter paper:

Dear Master

Sorry to bother you again.

The sealed object under Sangpo has been successfully released, Henghui has also come on stage, and what follows is bound to be a good show.

However, there is a situation that I must report to you.

Wei An, do you still remember?

The Confucian genius who reached the fourth rank in one day!
I had previously learned that he had no interest in a career in politics, so I stopped paying attention to him.

After hearing what he said at the Princess's manor yesterday, I thought this person might be a threat to the resurgence of our clan!
I am reporting to you what he said. He said...

Master, please give me guidance!
Your servant forever
After putting pen to paper, he waited for the ink to dry, then his fair hands picked up the letter paper and lit it with a candle until the last corner burned out.

The space was silent for a long time. When the owner of the white hand thought he would not get a response and was about to get up and leave, the dim candlelight suddenly turned into a creepy green light.
