Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 11 Wei Yuan: It’s easier to catch fish when the water is muddy

"Oh my! The boss is really good at talking."

The quick-handed yamen runner who was talking to Xu Qian'an slapped his thigh and ran quickly to the tea shop.

Although Xu Qian'an was curious about why his rough guy could predict the future, when the accident happened, a certain DNA in his body moved and he quickly chased after him.

"Stop it! Stop hitting me!"

"How dare you! You dare to attack me! You treat us like nothing!"

"Pull them apart!"

The last sentence comes from Xu Qian'an.

The three quick-handed yamen runners, nameless white servants, did not actually use force to suppress the man. They just grunted and grabbed the man's shoulders from under his armpits and pulled him away.

There is no way. If it were an ordinary person, he would have smashed the scabbard on it and opened it.

Both of them are dressed in scholar's clothes. Who knows if they have any achievements?
Dafeng has been established for 600 years and has already had too many officials.

"Eh!"

The dark and fat Hu Dong pulled away the scholar who had slapped him and shouted angrily.

Xu Qian'an glanced at the two of them.

Tsk tsk.

The clothes of this one were torn in several places, making it look like a one-eyed panda; there were several scratches on the cheek of that one, and blood was slowly oozing out of one nostril.

The scholars are not lenient either.

"Tell me, why did you fight?"

he asked.

After leaving the combat mode, they seemed to have lost their energy. Recalling their previous actions, and with many people around pointing and talking about them, the two scholars couldn't help but blush and feel embarrassed.

One by one, they tried to break free from the control of Xu Qian'an and others.

One of them raised his chin and said contemptuously, "Let me go! You tyrants, do you know who I am?"

Xu Qian'an and Hu Dong looked at each other.

"Don't do it again, or I will take you two back to the yamen." Hu Dong slowly let go.

Xu Qian'an followed suit.

"I know, I know. You're being noisy." The scholar who had just questioned Hu Dong broke free from his control in an impatient tone. He straightened his clothes a little and looked at the scholar on Xu Qian'an's side with disgust in his eyes. He said viciously, "You're asking for trouble with your heresy!"

"Haha, you're deceiving yourself. Chengxue is like a grasshopper after autumn, it's at the end of its road!" The scholar didn't give in at all. He bowed in the direction of Yunlu Academy with enthusiasm and said passionately, "Master Wei is a genius. The principles of heaven are human desires, and the heart is reason. Just these two sentences have nailed your Chengxue down to the bone."

"You, you... you dare to insult Cheng Sheng, you are crazy, crazy! Heresy, heresy!"

The two started arguing again.

Seeing that they were about to fight again, Hu Dong and others immediately pulled the two men apart and kept them farther apart.

Xu Qian'an naturally participated in it, but his brain was a little confused during the process.

What did he just hear?
The law of nature is human desire!
The heart is reason!
This is, this is... psychology?
...

Night watchman's office

Haoqi Building

"Foster father, everything was fine yesterday, but today we've been arguing and even fighting, and there have been more than ten of them so far."

Wei Yuan listened to his adopted son's report calmly, holding a chess book in his hand, and playing chess with himself by referring to the book.

"Someone just used their connections to find Liu Hong and ask him about Wei An's visit to our place that day."

"Find out." Wei Yuan only uttered three words.

"Yes." Nangong Qianrou accepted the order and should have left. However, after thinking for a moment, he decided to go beyond the limit and said, "Foster father, do you want me to change Wei An's background?"

Wei Yuan raised his eyes and smiled, "You are not a Tianji Master, how are you going to change it? Besides, no matter how you change it, it will leave traces."

Nangong Qianrou frowned slightly, "But... Wei Feng's background is not difficult to investigate."

He was being tactful. Wei An had turned the capital upside down, and a bloody storm was about to break out. If someone discovered Wei An's relationship with Wei Yuan, it wouldn't matter what they did to Wei An. But if they used this to attack his adoptive father...

Furthermore, Wei An himself is also a big troublemaker.

The person behind the scenes seems to be quite powerful. If he takes the opportunity to infiltrate the capital, he may add fuel to the fire, such as spreading Wei An's previous experience.

My adoptive father will inevitably be implicated.

You should know that in order to check and balance his adoptive father, Emperor Yuan Jing had agreed to let the Yunlu lineage re-enter the officialdom. The position of Qingzhou Provincial Government Commissioner was originally promised by Emperor Yuan Jing to Zhao Shou, the dean of Yunlu Academy. Zhao Shou was unwilling to take up the official position, so he gave it to Yang Gong.

No, if Emperor Yuan Jing knew about this, it would only cause more trouble.

Why not become Wei An?

Wei Yuan took in all the changes in his adopted son's expression. "Qianrou," he called out.

"Yes, godfather." Nangong Qianrou gathered her thoughts.

"You see, he didn't want to recognize me before because he was worried that I would make too many enemies and implicate him. Now he is almost an enemy of all the officials in Dafeng. Should he recognize me?" Wei Yuan asked in a gentle voice.

Nangong Qianrou thought for a moment and said, "Godfather wants to strike first?"

Wei Yuan nodded.

"In this case, the capital city will probably become even more chaotic." Nangong Qianrou's brows relaxed a little.

"It doesn't matter. The muddy water makes it easier to catch fish."

...

Yunlu Academy
"Nangong Jinluo, Liu Yinluo, what brings you here?"

Xin Shan's figure slowly appeared in front of the mountain gate, followed by voices.

"Xue Zheng, where is Wei An?"

Liu Hong stepped forward and asked.

Xin Shan frowned, his eyes suddenly becoming unfriendly. "The tax case has been solved, why are you still looking for Wei An?"

"Duke Wei has something for me to deliver to Wei An." Nangong Qianrou said.

"Wei Yuan?"

A deep voice came from the void.

Zhao Shou's figure appeared.

Next came Chen Tai, Zhang Shen, and Li Mubai.

There are also two elderly gentlemen.

"Dean." Nangong Qianrou stood up and saluted.

To Xinshan, he just nodded to show his greeting.

With Zhao Shou in front of him, he didn't dare to be rude.

"Why is Wei Yuan looking for my student?" Chen Tai asked in a bad tone.

If it were someone else, Chen Tai would have simply chased the person away.

Wei Yuan...

"I haven't gone to ask Wei Yuan for punishment for what happened last time!" Zhang Shen said in an even more vicious tone.

Nangong Qianrou sighed secretly in her heart.

It's really like a long separation!

An unknown peasant from Qingzhou has now become the beloved of all the top leaders of Yunlu Academy!
No! How can he be called a peasant?
This kid will soon become one of the top second generation in Beijing!
Thinking of this, Nangong Qianrou gritted her teeth secretly.

"Mr. Zhang, asking for punishment? Where does this come from?" He pretended to be confused.

Zhang Shen glared. "You asked Wuyang to assist in the investigation of the tax case. This is just a routine inquiry. Wuyang is young, so his words may be harsh, but you shouldn't hurt him."

"Is this true? Why have you never mentioned it to us?"

"The night watchman is too arrogant!"

The two old gentlemen were filled with indignation!
Li Mubai glanced at Zhang Shen speechlessly.

Nangong Qianrou was first surprised, then smiled, and finally spread her hands and said, "Dean, gentlemen, this is really a misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding? What message did Wei Yuan ask you to bring to Wuyang? You can tell us yourself. Wuyang is in seclusion now. We will tell him later." Chen Tai didn't want to waste time talking to him.

Nangong Qianrou shook her head helplessly. "A night watchman has his own rules to follow. How can we force a confession at will? Not to mention the suspect Wei Anfei. His injuries... Dean, gentlemen, it's only natural for an uncle to teach his nephew a lesson, right?"

"Uncle's lesson..."

Before he could finish, Chen Tai was stunned.

Zhao Shou and his companions were also stunned.

The next breath...

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Is Wei Yuan crazy? Why are he claiming random relatives?"

"Wuyang is from Qingzhou, which is just across the river from Yuzhou!"

"... "

It's a mess!
