Translator: 549690339
Song tingfeng, who was already in the spirit-forging stage, took a sip of tea and could not help but think of the days when the Xu ningyan banquet was still held.
At that time, he, Zhu guangxiao, and Xu ningyan would patrol the streets (go shopping) in the day. During the two hours of their lunch break, they would go to the brothel to listen to music. Although they had no money and were listless, they were really happy.
In Xu ningyan’s words,”the young are not romantic, but the old shed tears.”
This guy was clearly a vulgar martial artist, but he could always come up with a few words that people didn’t know what they meant, but felt very powerful.
Song tingfeng still hadn’t fully understood what he had said the last time. He went to the brothel to help poor women from poor families and asked them,
“Will it work or not?”
The girls always said,”sure, sure.”
However, when he pulled up his pants and refused to pay the silver, the girls could not take it.
It was still a mystery how Xu yinluo had relied on these five words for more than half a year in the Yamen.
Now, even lady floating fragrance had died of illness.
In a short year, things remained the same, but people had changed.
Perhaps not all the night watchmen had returned yet, song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao sat in the hall of spring breeze for half an hour.
Song tingfeng was now in the spirit-forging stage. In the Yamen, he was a rare young talent. Although he was not as amazing as Xu Qi ‘an, when Wei Yuan was still around, the Yamen had planned to train song tingfeng.
Wei Yuan would do his best to train every night watchman who was talented and had no bad track record. This had always been his principle.
However, song tingfeng was not qualified and had not made enough contributions, so he had been in the position of Gonggong.
“Guangxiao, in the second half of the year, we can only look forward to your marriage.” Song tingfeng said with emotion.
He had thought that after the new year of the capital investigation, his life would be more stable. Who would have thought that the capital investigation was only the beginning? too many things had happened this year. The case of Yunzhou at the beginning of the year, the massacre of the city by King Huai in the middle of the year, and the turmoil after the autumn harvest.
Song tingfeng’s gaze passed through the open door and looked at the withered yellow leaves in the courtyard. He muttered, ‘
“Troubled times, it’s really troubled times. Guangxiao, we brothers will get through this.”
Zhu guangxiao, who was becoming more and more reticent, hummed in agreement.
Just as he said that, the sound of drums came from the martial arts practice field.
“Zhao Jinluo is summoning us.”
The two of them left spring breeze Hall immediately. Together with Li Yuchun, they followed the night watchmen from the Yamen and headed to the martial arts practice field.
Song tingfeng arrived at the martial arts practice field. He glanced around and was surprised to find that there were more night watchmen than expected. Those who were resting had all been gathered.
What was going on … He glanced at Zhu guangxiao and Li Yuchun, who were beside him. The two of them had the same doubts.
The three people from spring breeze Hall entered the line in silence. After waiting for nearly half an hour, they suddenly heard the sound of rapid and neat footsteps.
Looking over, he saw a group of Imperial Army soldiers in bright armor. There were many of them, at least five hundred.
Imperial Army? Song tingfeng frowned.
The Imperial Army surged in and surrounded the night watchman, but they didn’t make any further moves.
The Watchmen were confused when they saw a few people walking over slowly from the distance.
In the middle was a dignified middle-aged man in a red robe. On his left was the expressionless Zhao Jinluo, on his right was Zhu Yang, and beside Zhu Yang was Zhu chengzhu.
Even the other night watchmen’s faces changed when they saw the father and son, let alone Li Yuchun, song tingfeng, and Zhu guangxiao.
As they neared, Yuan Xiong put his hands behind his back and came to the front of the night watchmen.
Zhao Jinluo glanced at his subordinates and said in a clear voice without any expression, ‘
“By the orders of His Majesty, from today on, the Imperial Censorate of Yuan will take over the duties of Duke Wei and take charge of the night watchmen’s
Yamen. Quickly pay your respects to Duke Yuan.”
The night watchmen were in an uproar, either looking at each other or discussing in low voices.
“Sh * t, what right does he have to control the night watchmen?” A silver Gong muttered.
“He’s just a petty person who fawns on the powerful. How can he be a night watchman?”
“Even if it’s to take over Duke Wei’s position, it’ll still be left imperial censor Liu
Hong, Lord Liu.”
Yuan Xiong squinted his eyes, but he remained silent.
Zhao Jinluo glanced at his new superior, and his heart sank. He shouted, of you, shut up! Are you guys trying to rebel?”
He was angry that his subordinates did not know how to read people’s expressions. When a new official took office, he would burn the troublemakers. The more disobedient they were, the easier it was to kill them as an example to others. Moreover, Yuan Xiong was here to “investigate” a case.
Zhao Jinluo was also Wei Yuan’s trusted aide. Both of them were once trusted aides of Wei Yuan, including Zhu Yang.
The reason why he was able to rest easy and not be ‘implicated’ was because of his cultivation as a fourth-grade martial artist.
In Dafeng, or even any force in the nine states, fourth-grade martial artists were middle and high-level figures, especially martial artists, who had strong attack, high defense, and great destructive power. As long as they did not commit an unforgivable crime, the Imperial court usually adopted a gentle policy towards fourth-grade martial artists.
Yuan Xiong needed enough rank-4 golden gongs to support the scene, so he recruited him.
In Zhao Jinluo’s opinion, since the emperor’s orders could not be disobeyed, what else could they do other than go with the flow? It was better for him to guard this place than to hand over the entire Yamen to Zhu Yang.
Zhu Yang came to the night watchman with a vengeful attitude, which was different from him.
Since Duke of Wei had sacrificed his life, it was important to recognize the reality. The night watchman was half of Lord Wei’s blood and sweat, so he could at least guard for Lord Wei.
Yuan Xiong ignored the night watchman’s accusation and said in a clear voice,
“At noon today, a civilian lady, Madam li, came to the Wu gate and made a complaint. She accused Wei Yuan of misappropriating money and framing good people..
