Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 39 Jiang Luzhong: Who searched this place yesterday?

Wei Yuan smiled but did not answer.

"The honeycomb coal shop opened today. I just stayed in the shop for a while. It was pretty good."

"I brought you a stove and honeycomb coals, so you can share in the good luck."

As he spoke, Wei An skillfully loaded the honeycomb coal into the honeycomb coal stove and lit the coal balls.

He reached for the teapot on the horizontal table, shook it, and said with a rather speechless smile, "Why is there no water in your teapot?"

He went to the side and filled the teapot with water from the bottle.

When the pot fell on the coal stove, the three pieces of honeycomb coal were almost lit.

"Your kettle is still a little small. If you're not careful, the water will boil dry again."

"When changing the briquettes in a honeycomb coal stove, you have to be careful, especially in your environment, which is all wood. You really have to be careful."

"However, your environment does have its benefits. It's well-ventilated, and the honeycomb coal produces some... strange gases, which are not good for your health."

Wei Yuan just stood there, watching him and giving him long-winded instructions.

Not getting a response, Wei An looked up and met Wei Yuan's gaze.

The latter suddenly smiled and asked, "Have you sent it to the academy?"

Wei An nodded solemnly, "Of course, I've already sent it to the dean and teachers. And from now on, every autumn, the teachers of the academy and students from poor families will be able to receive a certain amount of honeycomb coal."

"Where is the stove?" Wei Yuan asked.

"I have discussed it with the princess again and again. The stove will not be given away or sold, but rented." Wei An's expression became more serious.

Without his uncle asking further questions, he said, "I'm afraid that if something is obtained too easily, I won't cherish it. I hope I am a mean person."

Wei Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and asked with a smile, "Are you only here to bring me the stove and coal today?"

Wei An chuckled, "Uncle, although I'm young, I'm old enough to talk about marriage in Qingzhou. You don't know that people in Qingzhou now have very high expectations. They want everything, including appearance, livelihood, and house."

"Look at me, my appearance is like that. I'm of the Wei family's bloodline, need I even explain it?"

"Making a living... I'm not short of money for now."

"It's a mansion...Uncle, Captain Xu even bought a mansion for Xu Ningyan."

"Okay." Wei Yuan nodded. When Wei An was about to thank him, he added, "I will buy you a house in Qingzhou."

"Uncle, I..."

"Draw another three hundred pictures of the Qi-Watching Technique. I have a house on Yongfeng Street that I'll give to you."

Yongfeng Street is only two streets away from Yongkang Street, the main road in Beijing, and is considered a residence in the core area of Beijing.

Three hundred...

Wei An didn't notice that while he was thinking with his head down, Wei Yuan was always paying attention to him out of the corner of his eye.

This is a game.

After thinking it over again and again, Wei An gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but please give me some time, uncle."

"Of course, you can pay it to me in installments, you don't have to pay it back all at once." Wei Yuan was very easy to talk to, with the attitude of an elder who understands the younger generation.

Without giving Wei An a chance to think, he immediately changed the subject and asked with a smile, "You've been hiding for all this time. Those who want to ask you about your new learnings and challenge you to a debate, including students, great scholars, princes, and generals, plus this time around honeycomb coal, there are even more who have come looking for you."

"You used to be able to wander around and no one could stop you, but now that you have a mansion, things are different."

"Uncle, with the mansion, they can't stop me." Wei An said confidently.

It's rare that my uncle is confused and can defeat him for once!
"It's not good to always ask my uncle, the dean, and the teacher to protect me from the wind and rain."

Afraid that his uncle would be embarrassed, Wei An added another sentence.

What a good nephew!
Where can I find it?

Wei An was filled with emotion.

Wei Yuan smiled repeatedly.

...

The next day
Night watchman's office

"Thank you. You don't need to send me off again after today. I will tell my uncle."

"Are you going to stop, sir?"

Wei An nodded.

The latter responded, saluted, and left.

Wei An's eyes fell on the big bowl of tiger yuan soup on the table.

He cupped it with both hands and slurped it all up in one breath.

While the heat in his body was expanding, he immediately took off his outer clothes and practiced the Mountain-Shaking Fist.

"call!"

"Oh!"

"... "

It was still a familiar voice, echoing behind Haoqi Tower.

Night watchmen are basically warriors, and their level of cultivation is not low.

The voice is familiar, and the martial arts have improved a lot!

...

now
Inner City, Changxing Street
Since no murderer was found yesterday, Jiang Luzhong led his men to search the inner city again early.

By noon, they had searched five streets but still found nothing.

His sharp eagle eyes remained calm as he said firmly, "Next street." The two fortune-tellers beside him groaned inwardly.

They were forcibly "recruited" and if given the chance, they would never get involved in Jiang Luzhong's case.

too bitter!
These warriors have thick skin and flesh, and their blood and energy are abundant. They will not feel tired no matter how long they walk. How can they withstand such torture?

"Jiang Jinluo, I remember Duke Wei gave you a Qi-gazing technique yesterday. You might as well use it first and let the two of us take a break."

A qi-gazer spoke up.

Jiang Luzhong frowned and saw that there was indeed a layer of sweat on the foreheads of the two men.

After thinking for a while, he took out the carefully preserved Qi-gazing technique from his pocket.

A trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he released his Qi and ignited the paper.

The next moment, the world became colorful in his eyes.

The blood stained by killing is obviously different from the red of official career and the blood and smoke of warriors.

"You two take a break and then catch up." He said, and jogged down the street.

Don’t dare to waste it!
After another three streets, there was still no trace of blood.

After a circle, they were almost back to the street where Pingyuan Marquis's mansion was located.

Jiang Lvzhong glanced in Pingyuanbo's direction, a purely unconscious glance, and then he looked away...

"Ok?"

Feeling that there was something extra in his eyes, he looked over again like lightning.

"This is…"

It was called blood light, but it was a little lighter than blood light, and it extended from Pingyuanbo, and the direction of its extension...

route?

Like what route.

He didn't have enough experience to support his guess, but this route looked like the thief's escape route.

Jiang Luzhong walked for a while, and then walked for a while.

Everywhere they went was the area that he or his colleagues had searched yesterday, which confirmed his idea!
Yesterday, two qigong masters followed the route pointed by the blood and qi for the client!
But there is one thing I didn’t find yesterday.

The reasoning is deadlocked!
I’m afraid that if I go through it again, I’ll still get nothing, and this Qi-gazing technique will be wasted.

Jiang Luzhong hesitated a little longer this time.

"Follow!"

Finally, he continued with his head down.

"Boss, we've searched this place."

"Boss, boss!"

"What's wrong, boss?"

"... "

The group of Silver Gongs and Bronze Gongs had already sensed something was wrong, and although they didn't understand why, they still followed closely.

Not long after.

"Qingshu Inn."

Jiang Luzhong withdrew his gaze.

A faint light of blood entered the inn.

Did the thief hide in this inn yesterday?
A group of night watchmen were at the door, and the servant was forcibly pushed out by the shopkeeper.

"Everyone, everyone..."

He was hunched over and his voice was trembling.

"Search for the criminal!"

Jiang Luzhong's words were powerful and resounding.

He walked past the servant and went straight into the inn.

The few guests who were there originally dispersed in a hurry.

"Sir, sir, I haven't paid yet."
