Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 67 Wei Yuan: He is always like this, he likes to cut people with a blunt knife

"Oh? Please tell me in detail, Imperial Master."

Wei An said in surprise.

Luo Yuheng shook her jade head lightly, and her lotus crown trembled slightly. "This acquaintance of mine is unusual. I should ask her first and then answer you."

"That's how it should be."

Wei An stood up and said, "Master, I'm going back first."

The clear light swallowed him up.

Luo Yuheng waved the sleeves of his Taoist robe again, as if something was closed.

She paused for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking about.

...

In front of Haoqi Building
"gentlemen."

"gentlemen."

"... "

As soon as Wei Anfang appeared, Jiang Luzhong's voice sounded, followed by a string of sounds.

"Thank you sir."

Jiang Luzhong walked up to him and expressed his gratitude with a fist salute.

"Thank you sir."

Another golden gong, several silver gongs, and a group of bronze gongs also thanked in unison.

"We are family, why do we have to do this?"

Wei An took a look around and found that the gold and silver gongs were okay, but some of the bronze gongs must have been hit a little too hard.

He couldn't help but frown, "That's a bit too much."

But it was only closed for one day, and the trial hasn’t started yet.

Jiang Luzhong snorted coldly, "In the past, they would avoid us when they saw us. Now that they have the chance, won't they kill us?"

After saying that, he glanced at the Tongluo men with bruises on their faces and said, "Be more alert and don't embarrass yourself!"

Wei An thought for a moment and pulled out a pamphlet from his robe sleeve. "I have a pamphlet here that contains the spells of a ninth-grade physician, which can help heal wounds. I'll give one to each of you."

Those bronze gong men were immediately overjoyed!
And so on!

He quickly pushed forward.

"Ahem." Jiang Lvzhong coughed lightly and exchanged glances with another Jinluo. The latter secretly released his Qi to stop the copper gongs. Jiang Lvzhong stepped forward and took the several spells that Wei An had torn off. He said, "Thank you, sir. I'll give them to them later."

Wei An was stunned for a moment, then understood what was going on. He glanced at those unlucky faces and suppressed his smile. "Okay, you remember to divide the points."

"By the way, has the dean left?" he asked casually.

"Let's go." Jiang Luzhong nodded.

Wei An breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I'll go see my uncle."

He walked briskly up the stairs.

The eyes of those people holding gongs immediately fell on Jiang Luzhong's hand.

Jiang Luzhong looked at them and said, "What's wrong with a few bruises on your face? These are for the brothers who are still recovering from their injuries. Go to the warehouse and get some plasters. I'll pay for it with my share!"

Several Tongluo people were convinced and clasped their fists, "Yes!"

...

seventh floor
"Godfather, let me go."

Nangong Qianrou challenged for a fight.

The evil Wushen Cult thieves in the capital have not been caught yet.

Now we know that the Wushen Cult may have some connection with Yunzhou.

The clues and evidence are not strong.

But the night watchman's office in the capital just happened to want to send someone to Yunzhou.

Previously, a spy from Yunzhou sent back a letter, which mentioned that the commander-in-chief of Yunzhou, Yang Chuannan, colluded with mountain bandits, sold military supplies for personal gain, and even supported bandits for his own benefit.

This letter was the reason why the Qi Party wooed Zhu Yang and created that corruption case.

Yang Chuannan was a member of the Qi Party.

Since a golden gong is needed to put an end to Yang Chuannan's collusion with the bandits.

Wouldn't it be a good opportunity for him to go and find out whether Yunzhou is colluding with the Wushen Cult?

If there is any unexpected gain, if you find one or two members of the Witch God Sect, kill them on the spot!

"Not urgent."

Nangong Qianrou was stunned by her adoptive father’s words.

Your Majesty has already decided on the governor who will go to Yunzhou.

Just as he was wondering, Wei An walked out from the stairs.

"Godfather, I'll go down first."

Nangong Qianrou left.

When he met Wei An, he nodded and said hello.

Wei An sat opposite Wei Yuan, took off his disguise, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Yuan made him a cup of tea with familiar and elegant movements.

The two of them tacitly did not speak and quietly enjoyed the tea.

"When did you realize it?" Wei Yuan asked without any context.

Wei An forced a smile, "The ducks know first when the spring river water warms, and the cicadas chirp before the autumn wind blows."

Wei Yuan raised his eyes and looked at him silently.

Wei An was really helpless with his uncle's intelligence.

"I noticed something when he promoted Teacher, Master Zhang, and Lord Yuanshan to second and third rank officials in one breath. My uncle gave me a hint that day, and I confirmed that they were still not as good as you. You knew it early on." Wei An sighed.

Wei Yuan picked up the teapot and brewed tea while saying, "He always acts like this. He has a hidden vein that can be seen thousands of miles away. He also likes to cut people with a blunt knife, making them wait for his neck to be cut."

Wei An chuckled.

The air was silent again.

Halfway through the second cup of tea, Wei Yuan spoke again, "Are you heartbroken? You've worked so hard to get to where you are today, and now it's all going to be destroyed overnight."

"What's there to be sad about?" Wei An said with some disdain, "The worst outcome is death. Uncle, forgive my arrogance, but within the capital, who can kill me unless the Supervisor Teacher takes action?"

He smiled rather cheekily and said, "At most I can just roll out of the capital in disgrace and return to my previous state of having nothing."

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "If he could kill you, he would have done it long ago. You have grown stronger and changed. You are no longer the same as before."

When he said the last sentence, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Wei Yuan's eyes.

"He is not a wise leader." Wei An sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, his uncle's eyes were already glaring at him.

"I won't mention it again." Wei An promised hurriedly.

Wei Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze. "Sometimes you're so calm that I'm moved. Sometimes you're so reckless that it's almost like your age. Some of your words and actions today were truly unwise. Why provoke him? Just wait for him to make a move."

Wei An smiled and shook his head, "How can we just sit there and wait for him to make a move?"

"In some aspects, he and I are not on the same level. If he thinks it through, and with the support of a nation, he might come up with a trick to deal with me!"

"At my age, a commoner like me, with such status and such a provocation, if he can keep his composure, it's his strength. If he can't keep his composure and makes even the slightest mistake, it's good for me too."

Wei Yuan thought about it and nodded, "I was a bit impulsive."

"Father."

No footsteps were heard.

Nangong Qianrou's voice rang out.

Then others came in.

Wei Yuan and Wei An, uncle and nephew, all looked over.

Nangong Qianrou glanced at Wei An and said directly, "Foster father, an imperial edict was just issued from the palace."

"Who is it for?" Wei Yuan asked immediately with a serious expression.

Nangong Qianrou glanced at Wei An again and replied, "To Lord Song Zheng."

Wei An was stunned for a moment.

That’s exactly what I was saying.

He really couldn't hold his temper, or he had planned it out long ago.

"What's the content?" Wei Yuan asked again.

"I commend Lord Songzheng for his meritorious service in recommending talents and bestow gold, silver, and precious objects upon him."

Wei An frowned.

This echoes Emperor Yuan Jing's abrupt behavior of coming to watch the ceremony today.

However, there should be a backup plan!

Maybe... there's only one last trick left!

"I understand." Wei Yuan nodded.

Nangong Qianrou withdrew again.

"What? Is there any way to deal with it?" Wei Yuan asked.

"Please teach me, uncle." Wei An said in a panic.

Wei Yuan glanced at him and said, "Since you have a solution, go back and prepare well."

He added, "There's no need to hide everything from the dean and the others. Do you really think they can't see through it?"

Wei An was silent for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Uncle, there is something you should do."

Wei Yuan did not respond, but asked, "If you were to go on a long journey, who would you choose, Qianrou or Luzhong?"

Wei An was startled. This...

He immediately said angrily, "Two big men, how can I not choose either one, uncle?"
