Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Double Regulation?

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Double Regulation?Wei Yuan calmly picked up the memorial, unfolded it and read it, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Without saying a word, he knelt down and shouted: "I deserve to die, I have failed your majesty's trust, I only ask for death."

Wei Yuan's attitude made the officials who were ready to stand up and criticize him and ask Yuan Jingdi to behead this beast not know how to speak.

Yuan Jingdi sneered: "You are honest, Wei Yuan, if you quibble today, I will throw you into the sky prison."

Wei Yuan lowered his head and said nothing.

Yuan Jingdi snorted coldly: "The one who reported you was Jinluo Zhuyang from the night watchman's office."

Wei Yuan still didn't speak.

The memorial contained some evidence of the night watchmen's corruption and abuse of power in recent years, from Jinluo to Yinluo. Some of them were well-documented, and some were pure slander.

Of course, a new Tongluo was also among them. His crime was not small. He used his position to amass thousands of taels of silver in just one month. He spent every day in the Jiaofang Division and slept with the courtesan.

At this time, a Du Jieshizhong from the Ministry of Justice stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the night watchman abused his power for personal gain and broke the law knowingly. I propose to execute Wei Yuan to deter the night watchmen and eliminate the evil spirit."

Immediately, several ministers seconded the proposal.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked at Wei Yuan, who confessed his crime and was executed, and said in a deep voice, "This case will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the government office to handle it together. I want a result within three days."

The meeting ended.

Nangong Qianrou followed Wei Yuan with a gloomy face. After walking a few steps, she heard someone shouting from behind, "Mr. Wei, please stay."

The father and son stopped and looked back. The one who caught up with them was the Dali Temple. He was wearing a red robe embroidered with clouds and geese, and was a fourth- rank official.

Like the Jingzhao prefect, the Dali Temple Minister was an official with a low position but great power, and his weight was very heavy.

In the capital, the status and voice of an official were never determined by his rank, but by how much power he had.

The nobles were even above the rank, but they were also pushed to the edge of the power stage.

The old man with gray hair and a gaunt face smiled and bowed: "I want to ask Lord Wei for details about the criminals on the list."

Wei Yuan nodded without showing any emotion: "I will have someone send a copy to the Dali Temple later."

The Dali Temple Minister nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "There is one more thing. I think Zhu Jinluo is a talented and upright person, and I want to transfer him to the Dali Temple. I will report to Your Majesty later, and come to say hello to Lord Wei first."

Seeing that Wei Yuan was still calm, the Dali Temple Minister took a few steps forward and said: "Lord Wei knows what I want."

Wei Yuan laughed, "It's worth the exchange."

The Dali Temple Minister looked at Wei Yuan's back with a gloomy face. Sёarch* The Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Returning to the carriage, Nangong Qianrou drove towards the night watchman's office. In the carriage, Wei Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and sighed:

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong..."

Nangong Qianrou sneered: "Adoptive father, you knew that he might have ulterior motives, but you insisted on thinking about the old relationship. Now it's not as simple as losing troops and generals."

In the night watchman's office, besides Li Yuchun, who is stubborn, there are also rigid martial arts fans like Yang Yan, who are not interested in beauty and money.

And there are paranoid people like Nangong Qianrou, who likes to spend all day in the dungeon to torment death row prisoners. He doesn't like money, but women...are they as beautiful as me?

"Should you kill him?" Nangong Qianrou said hatefully.

"The reckoning will have to wait until autumn." Wei Yuan replied calmly.

Nangong Qianrou drove through the market and into a quiet street without saying anything. She continued, "Although this incident was not caused by that boy, he was a trigger. You, my godfather, could have avoided it. Is that boy worthy of your godfather's attention?"

"There are many golden gongs, but there is only one person as interesting as you. I am looking forward to his growth." Wei Yuan chuckled and changed the subject:

"Our emperor will not be at ease watching me become a big man."

When he said this, Wei Yuan finally had a hint of gloom.

"The Dali Temple Minister wanted to use that list to exchange the secret letter in my godfather's hand. Why did my godfather refuse?" Nangong Qianrou asked.

He knew that his godfather's last sentence "It's right" was not to agree to the exchange of the Dali Temple Minister, but to decide to reluctantly exchange the golden gongs and silver gongs, which would hurt both sides.

The answer to him was silence.

This year is really a turbulent time. No, every Jingchao is a big turmoil. The team that my godfather has cultivated with great difficulty will inevitably be hurt this time... Nangong Qianrou sighed.

There will be a winner in every Jingchao, and Wang Dang rose in the last Jingchao. But one thing is inevitable, that is, when the Jingchao ends, all parties will suffer heavy losses. The winner will also be a miserable victory.

"When you return to the government office, you go to Xu Qiyan and let him hide for a few

days. I will find a way to get him out."

"Yes." Nangong Qianrou nodded sourly.

...

At dusk, Xu Qiyan, who had finished house hunting early, spent an hour shopping with Chu Caiwei, buying whatever delicious food he saw.

The big-eyed beauty was in high spirits and had a lot of fun, with a sweet smile on her face all

the time.

Shopping is indeed more tiring than fighting. This kind of tiredness is not physical, but mental... Xu Qiyan exhaled a breath. As long as he can make this woman happy, it is worth it to

be tired.

I heard a saying in my previous life that there are 70 ways to coax a girl, one is shopping, and the rest are 69.

Xu Qiyan cannot perform the latter, so there is no way to verify it, but the effect of shopping is

indeed good.

After entering Guiyue Tower and ordering a sumptuous dinner worth five taels of silver, Xu Qian'an, in order not to lose money, let go of his stomach and competed with Chu Caiwei.

At this time, he felt palpitations.

He stopped eating calmly, took out the jade mirror, and checked the information.

[One: Something happened in the night watchman's office. Jinluo Zhu Yang reported Wei Yuan for corruption and abuse of power. The case involved four Jinluo, twelve Yinluo and thirty Tongluo. It was handled by the government office, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple. Does this mean that Wei Yuan is about to fall out of favor and fall during the Beijing

inspection? ]

Zhu Yang was a traitor... The report letter implicated so many people... Xu Qian'an stared at the text information on the mirror, and his heart was in turmoil.

During this period, the party struggle in the capital was in full swing, and each had its own winners and losers. Because Xu Qian'an was not at a high enough level, he usually treated it as a topic of conversation after dinner, and didn't care after hearing it.

I thought that the special position of the night watchman would allow him to navigate the storm steadily without being oppressed, but it seems that he still doesn't understand the court situation and party struggles well enough.

"As the Golden Luo, Zhu Yang must have a lot of dirt on the night watchmen. Now that he has suddenly rebelled, the night watchmen must be seriously injured."

"If it goes as expected, it must be because of me. I heard that Zhu Yinluo was injured in the internal organs by that knife, and he has a root of disease, and he has no hope for martial arts in the future. But not only am I fine, but I have been promoted and given a raise." ".... Indeed, if I were Emperor Yuan Jing, I would definitely not watch Wei Yuan become more powerful. From the tax silver case to the Sangpo case, and then to the struggle during this period, the civil service group has fought their brains out, and the nobles have remained largely intact, but this is because they do not have enough power in their hands and do not have the confidence to fight."

"Wei Yuan told me that the royal party and the night watchmen are the most powerful in the court. Now the royal party has suffered losses. The eunuch party represented by Wei Yuan must be weakened."

"I, a small copper gong, should... Damn it, it would be strange if Zhu Yang would let me go."

As Xu Qi'an's thoughts flashed, No. 4, who had been an official in the court, sent a message: [Corruption and abuse of power are just superficial excuses. If we talk about corruption and abuse of power, the night watchmen are managed by Wei Yuan, so how can the beasts in human clothing in the court be so ugly?

[Emperor Yuan Jing just took this opportunity to suppress Wei Yuan.]

No. 4 is indeed an old official. He is thousands of miles away, but his analysis is very insightful... This is similar to what I thought... Eh? With No. 1's level, can't he see through such a simple truth? He actually asked such a stupid question... Xu Qi'an input information: [If it is Emperor Yuan Jing's intention, then Wei Yuan can't do anything, right? He has to abandon these subordinates anyway. ]

[Four: Haha, it depends on the attitude of Emperor Yuan Jing and Wei Yuan. If it is just corruption, the punishment will not be too severe, but a group of people will definitely be expelled from the government office. ]

Double regulation, right... Xu Qi'an suddenly worried about his future.

"What are you writing and drawing in front of the mirror?" Chu Caiwei was eating braised

pig's trotters.

So women are all big pig's trotters... Xu Qian'an took the mirror and said, "It's okay, after dinner, let's go see the haunted house."

In any case, buy the house first. Owning a real estate is more important than anything else.

Chen Fuyin of the government office has a good relationship with me... If I am really on the list, I am not afraid of going to the government office, but I am afraid of falling into the prison of the Ministry of Justice... I am sure I have not embezzled, but the facts are not important... If it doesn't work, I will disappear for a few days and ask Wei Yuan how to arrange it tomorrow morning.

After leaving Guiyue Tower, Xu Qian'an handed the jade mirror to Chu Caiwei: "Please keep it

for me for a few days."

"Oh." Chu Caiwei took it and stuffed it into the deerskin bag on her left waist.

After dark, they came to the haunted house and climbed over the wall to go in.

"Can you tell me now? Why do you want to come here at night?"

The footsteps of two people echoed in the desolate abandoned house. There was no wind tonight, and there were no insects in the winter. The silence was terrifying.

Chu Caiwei held a candied haws in her hand, and her voice was crisp: "The yang energy is

abundant during the day, and the female ghost in the well will not appear. If you want to get rid of her, you have to wait for her to come out.

"In addition, I suspect that there is something strange at the bottom of the well, and I plan to

go down and take a look later."

Go down and take a look... Xu Qian'an, who has a fear of the deep sea, immediately became

timid, especially when he knew that there was something strange at the bottom of the well.

Waiting and waiting, the night gradually deepened, and Chu Caiwei wondered: "Just go down, are you going or not?"

"If I don't go...., I'm worried about you jumping into the well alone."

Chu Caiwei nodded, supported herself on the edge of the well, and jumped down with a

splash.

This silly girl was still very timid when she listened to ghost stories... Xu Qian'an held the black and gold long knife in his hand and jumped into the well. The water in the well was cold.

He saw a ray of light in front of him, reflecting the light body of the girl in the yellow skirt.

She twisted her waist in the water, like a flexible mermaid.

The ray of light was the Bagua plate on her waist.

After swimming for about ten minutes, Xu Qian'an suddenly saw Chu Caiwei stop. She took off

the Bagua plate on her waist, as if confronting something.

Xu Qian'an swam over, and then followed the light emitted by the Bagua plate, and saw a

woman in white lying at the bottom of the well.

She seemed to have noticed something, and slowly raised her head to look over. It was a

bloody face, with eyeballs hanging on the cheeks, and maggots wriggling in the black eye

sockets.
