Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Wei Yuan's Shock

Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Wei Yuan's ShockSince ancient times, people have had a natural awe of officials. Looking at the imposing yamen, the guards with swords, and the serious-looking night watchmen coming and going, aunt and Xu Lingyue were a little afraid.

It was the first time for aunt to come to the yamen, and she was very nervous, so she hugged Xu Lingyin in her arms and rubbed her hard to relieve her emotions.

The little bean's face changed into various shapes in aunt's hands.

Xu Lingyue approached Xu Qi'an silently.

"Ningyan"

A half-familiar Tongluo came over to say hello, his eyes wandering around aunt and Xu Lingyue, obviously attracted by the beauty of aunt and sister.

"This is my sister." Xu Qi'an nodded and introduced Xu Lingyue to him. The Tongluo immediately smiled and looked at aunt: "Is this my sister?" Aunt was stunned at first, then smiled, her eyes curved into crescents.

Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes: "Have you ever seen a 36-year-old sister?"

"Xu Ningyan!" Auntie was so angry that she was trembling.

Her age was actually reported? Auntie took a deep breath and said to herself, don't be angry, don't be angry. In front of outsiders, she has to maintain her image and can't rush over to grab her nephew's face.

Tongluo looked at her aunt and Xu Lingyue for a few more times, and walked away reluctantly.

Xu Qi'an led the three women to Chunfeng Hall. Along the way, they met many familiar colleagues who greeted Xu Qi'an enthusiastically. Many people mistook auntie for Xu Qi'an's sister.

Praising her for being young and beautiful in disguise.

Arriving at the side hall of Chunfeng Hall, she ordered the clerk to serve tea and water. Auntie's nervous mood was swept away and she smiled:

"Every night watchman in the yamen is handsome and speaks well."

Auntie, what you said sounds strange. Xu Qi'an said, "I'll go to the yamen gate and wait."

He waited at the yamen gate for a quarter of an hour, and waited for three arresters from the government office, as well as Zhao Shen and his wife.

"Sir, the prisoner is here." The young arrester clasped his fists and said respectfully.

"Yes!"

Xu Qi'an nodded, stretched out his hand to take the rope, and said, "You wait here, I will send the prisoner to the prison, and then come out to return the rope."

Zhao Shen and his wife were scared pale. People in the capital, who don't know the reputation of the night watchman, and they know that the night watchman's prison is a place where you can enter but not leave.

If you are lucky enough to get out, you will lose a layer of skin and spend the rest of your life in pain.

This is all Nangong Qianrou's fault. He created the notoriety of the night watchman's dungeon.

Zhao Shen's wife sat on the ground and cried, "I won't go to the night watchman's office. Beat me to death, beat me to death."

This woman is used to being a scoundrel at home. It's hard to change her nature. Even when she came to the night watchman's office, she was still very fierce and rogue.

Xu Qian'an's eyes were sharp, and he snatched the guard's scabbard and slapped him.

The woman spurted out three big teeth, her mouth was full of blood, and she covered her face, as if she was stunned.

"It's not easy to die, I'll fulfill your wish later." Xu Qian'an sneered, "Why didn't you think of this time when you were bullying people?"

After that, he pulled the rope fiercely and dragged the couple into the yamen.

The three arresters stayed where they were, and one of them suddenly said, "Does that sir look familiar?"

"Sir Xu? When Constable Lu was not promoted to Chief Constable, I worked with her and met Sir Xu once. She has changed so much that I can't recognize her at all."

"I have seen her too. No wonder she looks so familiar. Didn't he die? Constable Lu was in a bad mood at that time and got angry all the time."

Along the way, he attracted the attention of many people, who laughed and teased, "What kind of prisoner is Sir Xu escorting? Why are you crying?"

Xu Qian'an responded, "Two dogs who rely on others' power. Let them taste the beating of society today."

When they came to the dungeon exclusively for night watchmen, the prison door opened with

a "clang", and the dark and humid air rushed towards them.

Zhao Shen's face was pale, and there was despair and terror in his eyes. This was the most regretful moment in his life.

He never thought that it was just a small matter, but he suffered such a disaster.

The woman finally broke down and cried, "I pawned the bracelet. I'll pay you, pay you, don't put me in the dungeon."

Zhao Shen stared at his wife with wide eyes. He finally understood the reason for the mysterious man's anger. It turned out that his son had repeatedly bullied his sister.

It turned out that the bracelet was taken away, and it turned out that his wife knew

everything.

It's over. If the night watchman caught him, even officials of high rank would be scared, let alone him. Will his uncle offend the night watchman for him?

He couldn't help but regret why he didn't figure out the matter first, why didn't he handle it properly, why did he only think about using his uncle's power to bully some ordinary people and small officials.

Chen Shen burst into tears, muttering: It's over, it's over

He suddenly became furious, kicked his wife over, and cursed: "It's all your fault, it's all your

fault"

He kicked and cursed, wishing to divorce his wife, provided that he could go back alive

The woman burst into tears.

Xu Qi'an summoned the jailer, put the two people in jail, and then found the head of the jail and ordered: "The couple who were just detained, give them a lesson, be careful." "Do you mean to keep their lives or their legs?" The head of the jail was embarrassed.

"'"'Xu Qi'an said unhappily: "Keep them alive, but beat them up every day. Be careful when beating them, don't lose arms and legs, I have these two people, understand?"

After saying this, the jailer had a clear idea in his mind. Lord Xu was just giving them a normal lesson and letting them suffer in jail.

"That's it? This is the night watchman's dungeon." The jailer thought, such a small matter should be imprisoned in the night watchman's office?

"This is called labor reform. As a night watchman, I protect the safety of the imperial city. I am trusted and valued by His Majesty, and I should educate the ignorant people."

"Your Excellency is wise."

After leaving the prison, he chatted with his aunt and sister in Chunfeng Hall until a black- clothed clerk came to report that an official who claimed to be a doctor of the Ministry of Literature wanted to see him.

This was within Xu Qi'an's expectations. The clan concept in this world is much stronger than in the previous life. If it were in the previous life, it would be hard to say how much effort the uncle would be willing to do if his nephew encountered such a thing.

After all, Xu Qi'an is no longer an ordinary night watchman, but a night watchman holding a

gold medal.

"Bring him to Chunfeng Hall." Xu Qi'an stood up, left the side hall, entered Li Yuchun's "office", and sat in his seat.

I should be a silver gong in a while. Oh, there are ten places for bronze gongs. Who should I recruit? Give one to my second uncle, one to my aunt, one to Erlang, one to Lingyue, oh, Lingyin also needs one, haha, the whole family is on the payroll.

He was thinking to himself, the door darkened for a moment, and the clerk led an official with Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

a goatee in. He was over fifty years old, wearing a green official robe, with a white pheasant

on the chest, and gray sideburns under his official hat.

The moment he stepped into the threshold of Chunfeng Hall, this old man who had been silent and had great authority smiled like a spring breeze:

"Mr. Xu, I have heard of your great name for a long time. I have heard of your great name for a long time. Alas, I am of low rank and have never had the opportunity to meet you. I heard that you are a frequent visitor to the imperial study."

Xu Qian'an said lightly: "If you want to see me, just go to the Jiaofangsi."

Doctor Zhao was stunned.

Xu Qi'an laughed out loud: "Lord Zhao is even more funny than the girls in the Jiaofangsi. Please sit down, please sit down, someone come and serve tea."

Doctor Zhao praised him openly and criticized him secretly, implying that Xu Qi'an was a troublemaker and had made countless enemies.

Xu Qi'an compared him to a prostitute.

After a battle without the flash of swords or the shadow of swords, the clerk served hot tea.

Lord Zhao took a sip of tea and went straight to the point:

"Lord Xu, I wonder what my unpromising nephew did wrong?"

"It's a big problem!"

Xu Qi'an frowned, as if he was worried about Doctor Zhao, and said: "He ordered the child to

do something robbed and robbed, and after the incident, he summoned the servants and deliberately murdered me and my family.

"Lord Zhao, we are officials in the same court, we should give each other face, but the law is

not merciful! "

Lord Zhao, who had been in the officialdom for many years, remained calm and even showed a

trace of shame: "It was all because of me who failed to restrain him and let him do whatever

he wanted."

Lord Zhao took out a silver note from his sleeve, put it on the table, and apologized sincerely:

"Lord Xu, please spare me."

Xu Qian'an took a look at it and saw that the face value was one hundred. He sighed and said,

"My sister was injured."

Lord Zhao took out another note.

Xu Qian'an sighed and said, "My aunt was injured."

Lord Zhao took out another one.

Xu Qian'an sighed, "My sister is a little injured."

"Lord Xu's sister has been injured."

"Oh, I have two sisters."

Lord Zhao took out another one.

Xu Qian'an sighed, "I am also a little injured."

Lord Zhao's mouth twitched, and he took out another hundred taels.

"The lost bracelet was given by His Majesty."

Another one.

Now, there are a full five hundred taels on the table. Even though Lord Zhao has been in the

officialdom for decades, he can't help but twitch his mouth.

Xu Qian'an did not continue to make things difficult. It was not because he wanted to stop

when he saw the good, but because Zhao Shen had extorted five hundred taels not long ago, and now he was giving him a taste of his own medicine.

"I forgive them for this matter." Xu Qian'an carefully collected the banknotes and put them in

his arms.

"Then Mr. Xu, please let them go." Lord Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"That won't do." Xu Qi'an shook his head.

Lord Zhao's face darkened in vain.

Xu Qi'an took a sip of tea and smiled: "You have to pay back your debts, but you still have to

collect interest. This five hundred taels of silver is interest, and you haven't paid me the

principal yet."

Lord Zhao stared at him sharply, and after a moment, he took a deep breath: "What does Lord

Xu want?"

He is a powerful doctor in charge of official dispatch. This power is not ordinary, and it can be said that it determines the fate of local officials in the court.

Except for the appointment of the three second-rank officials, the commander-in-chief, the governor, and the criminal prosecution, he could not interfere. The transfer and appointment of other local officials must be handled by the Ministry of Personnel.

Only Xu Qi'an, he was helpless.

The night watchman was originally an institution set up to supervise all officials, and his

duties were naturally conflicting. Besides, personnel appointments were not the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel. There is another reason, this kid is a rolling meat. With Wei Yuan's protection, he was repeatedly appointed by His Majesty to handle cases. Not to mention him, a doctor, even the officials in the court were tuituitui in their hearts about

this small copper gong, but they were helpless on the surface.

"It's not a big deal. Come, Lord Zhao, sit down, sit down." Xu Qi'an motioned him to sit

down, and raised his teacup to signal. After Lord Zhao reluctantly took a sip of tea, he asked with a smile:

"I heard that the Ministry of Literature is in charge of the allocation of officials?"

Doctor Zhao nodded.

"In a few days, it will be the Spring Examination. I have a cousin who is very talented and well-educated. It will be easy for him to pass the imperial examination." Xu Qi'an said.

"In that case, Lord Xu, why are you telling me this? Just be at ease." Doctor Zhao understood

what he meant.

"What about this?" Xu Qi'an said, "He is a disciple of Yunlu Academy."

A disciple of Yunlu Academy?

Doctor Zhao frowned deeply.

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for Lord Zhao. You just need to keep him in Beijing

after the Spring Examination and treat him the same as other Jinshi, and I will be grateful." Xu Qi'an persuaded:

"Your nephew and niece will be released naturally when the time comes, and I will not treat them unfairly. I will just regard the bracelet that His Majesty gave me as nothing."

When Xu Qi'an heard Mr. Li say that the other party's backer was the doctor of the Ministry of Literature, this idea came to his mind.

This is a deal. Doctor Zhao pondered for a long time and nodded slowly: "Okay, I hope Lord Xu

will keep his promise."

After sending Doctor Zhao away, Xu Qi'an let out a breath and thought to himself, Erlang,

among the younger brothers and sisters, the eldest brother still loves you the most. Then, he turned around and went to Haoqi Tower.

The guards downstairs were very resentful when they saw Xu Qian'an, and said in a sarcastic

tone: "Lord Xu Qian, you are here again. I heard that your elder brother has come back to

life?"

Xu Qian'an glanced at him and said: "Who is Xu Qian? My name is Xu Xinnian. No more nonsense, go upstairs and report."

The guards went upstairs happily, and after a while, they returned and said: "Duke Wei invites

you to come upstairs."

Seventh floor.

Wei Yuan, who was standing in front of the geomancy map in deep thought, heard footsteps

coming, but did not turn around, and said casually:

"Dr. Zhao from the Wenxuan Division came to see you?"

It was indeed the right decision for me to come to Haoqi Tower. Xu Qiyan clasped his fists: "Nothing can be hidden from Lord Wei."

Wei Yuan nodded, still without turning around: "What's the matter?"

Xu Qiyan described the general process of the matter and said: "If nothing unexpected

happens, my Erlang will definitely be exiled to a remote place. Second uncle has only one son,

how can this happen."

Wei Yuan asked with a half-smile, "Why don't you ask me for help."

He was answered by silence, and Wei Yuan did not urge him.

Xu Qiyan hesitated for a long time and answered frankly: "I want to leave a way for the Xu

family. He should not stand in the same camp with me."

After a pause, he added: "I have received great favors from Lord Wei, and I have no choice but to charge into battle."

Many times, it is things that push you to go, and after you finish, you find that there is no way

back.

Of course, Xu Qi'an was not regretting. If you gain something, you must pay for it. He just felt

that having one more way would be good for the future.

There is no good end for a lone minister!

The prince's words made Xu Qi'an secretly alert.

Smart people don't put all their eggs in one basket. Xu Qi'an hopes that there will be another

Xu Xinnian among the people who can support the Xu family in the future. Although as a cousin, Xu Xinnian will be more or less branded by him, but this is different

from Wei Yuan's brand.

This little thought can't be hidden from Wei Yuan, so the sentence Xu Qi'an added later is to

express his position.

Wei Yuan nodded slowly, "It's human nature. By the way, you have successfully promoted to

the realm of refining spirits. How strong is your soul?"

"It's hard to say," Xu Qi'an scratched his head.

"Why not take Li Yuchun as a standard. He is a senior in the realm of refining spirits. Although

he is still a long way from being a bronze-skinned and iron-boned person, his combat power

is not bad." Wei Yuan continued to stare at the geomancy map.

Xu Qiyan groaned, "Then I can kill two with one sword."

Wei Yuan turned around in astonishment: "Huh?" He narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu Qiyan: "What did you say?"

"Mr. Wei, I have never fought with anyone since I entered the realm of soul refining, and I am

not sure what level the strength of the soul belongs to in the realm of soul refining." Xu Qiyan

said

modestly.

"Don't you know the lion roar of Buddhism?" Wei Yuan thought for a while and pointed to the observation tower, "Go outside and roar."

"Mr. Wei, the lion roar cannot be used against friends or enemies." Xu Qiyan didn't dare.

AOE skills don't care whether they are enemies or friends.

"Don't worry about me." Wei Yuan waved his hand. "Yes." Xu Qiyan walked past the teahouse and walked towards the observation tower, facing

the warm sunshine, and his breath sank into his dantian.

In his mind, he visualized the image of the roar of the golden lion, and with his unique

breathing and qi method, he paused for a few seconds and roared at the bottom, the entire government office.

"Roar!"

This roar was not like the roar of an animal, nor like the shout of a human, but more like a

scorched earth exploding in the night watchman's office.

The rolling sound waves raged.

The clerks in the Haoqi Tower suddenly had their eyes rolled back, their ears temporarily lost hearing, and everything in front of them was pitch black.

From a distance, hearing the roar, they felt an uncontrollable fear in their hearts. Countless auras surged from all over the yamen, and the Jinluo in the yamen were alarmed.

Figures rushed out of the house, gathered in the yard, jumped onto the roof, or rushed to the

Haoqi Tower.

At this moment, the entire yamen was alarmed.

"Wei, Duke Wei seems to have made too much trouble."

Wei Yuan suddenly realized and stared at Xu Qian'an, who looked embarrassed.

This is a lion, he is slowly sharpening his claws and slowly growing fangs.

He has not grown up completely, but one day, his roar will shake the nine states.
