Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 53 What kind of gift is this?
Among the smiling faces, Zhang Shen felt a little sad.

Zhao Shou and others saw Wei An's eyes fell on Zhang Shen.

"Prince Yu once learned the art of war from Jinyan."

Chen Tai helped explain.

Wei An nodded.

Zhao Shou said in a deep voice, "Jinyan, since you have some feelings for me and know about this matter, please inform Prince Yu."

Prince Yu is a natural member of the noble camp and a member of the royal family.

Zhang Shen thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

"It's such a pity for Prince Yu."

An old man sighed with regret.

Wei An stepped forward and said to Zhang Shen, "Master Zhang, go to Prince Yu's mansion tomorrow and inform Prince Yu of this matter. Do not mention the night watchman. If Prince Yu asks, just say you heard it from me."

Zhang Shen was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and sighed repeatedly, "What kind of blessing did Wei Yuanxiu have, to have a nephew like you in his middle age?"

The others also showed expressions of emotion.

"Compared to Wuyang's plan for my Confucianism, these are nothing." Zhao Shou said in a deep voice.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Shen and the others all nodded.

The atmosphere became serious for a moment.

Wei An smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the housewarming ceremony. Dean, teachers, and all the teachers, please don't be absent."

"How could that be? I've been thinking about this meal for you for a long time."

"I must drink a few more glasses tomorrow, haha~"

"... "

...

Haoqi Building

"A sneeze."

Wei Yuan sneezed.

"It's getting colder in autumn, so please take care of your health, godfather." Nangong Qianrou immediately took out a cloak from the side and put it on Wei Yuan.

"That's fine." Wei Yuan waved his hand and said, "Go on."

"Foster father, I think that thief is Henghui. Tomorrow I will go to Qinglong Temple and ask for a portrait. I will see for myself!"

Speaking of this, Nangong Qianrou was so angry that her teeth were itching.

The thief relied on external forces, which was an unfair victory!
Wei Yuan nodded.

"Godfather, the truth is clear now, but the murderer who blew up the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple has escaped." Nangong Qianrou didn't say much.

The meaning is well expressed!

The case will not be over until the thief is caught!

Based on this, other parties can attack my godfather endlessly!
At the same time, if the night watchman reported the tragic incident of Princess Pingyang and Henghui, the Liang Party would probably bite his adoptive father hard before it fell!
"Don't worry, someone will inform Prince Yu about this matter." Wei Yuan said lightly.

Nangong Qianrou pondered for a moment and said, "If he passes away safely, Prince Yu will accept his kindness and will repay him in the future."

"It's not easy for him to go. He keeps saying that he has no interest in a career in politics. How can he get involved?" Wei Yuan shook his head and said.

"That's right." Nangong Qianrou nodded.

"Find a time and ask him to help you thoroughly interrogate those people in the pawnbroker business." Wei Yuan ordered.

"Yes, godfather." Nangong Qianrou clasped her fists and prepared to leave, but then she remembered something and turned back.

"Anything else?" Wei Yuan looked at him and asked.

Nangong Qianrou hesitated for a moment and said, "Godfather, Wuyang said that the price you offered today is the reward for him to assist me in investigating the case and interrogating the suspects. The price he paid for repelling the thieves today is another price."

Wei Yuan smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "Go inform Cai You and tell him to get ready."

"what to prepare?"

"He will know when the time comes."

"Yes, foster father."

...

The next day, at 4:45 PM

Prince Yu's Mansion

"Teacher, how come you are free today? Come, give orders to prepare lunch for today." Prince Yu looked delighted and grabbed Zhang Shen's arm.

"Teacher, we haven't played chess for a long time. How about playing a game?" Prince Yu was in high spirits.

"it is good."

Zhang Shen followed Prince Yu to the study.

When Prince Yu took out the chessboard, he finally spoke, "Your Majesty, I am here today for Princess Pingyang."

Pingyang!

This word was like a switch that turned Prince Yu's emotions on and off.

Once touched, Prince Yu will lose control.

He turned his head mechanically, then slowly turned back, his face stiff, "Teacher, don't joke."

"Ah~"

Zhang Shen took out a piece of paper from his robe sleeve and handed it over.

This is a transcript of Wei An's confession to the legitimate son of the Marquis of Pingyuan.

Prince Yu's eyes fell on the piece of paper. Before he even read the content, his heart was already churning.

He took it eagerly and resisted.

After a moment, "I don't believe it!"

Prince Yu roared.

He looked at Zhang Shen with red eyes, and the veins in his neck bulged. "Teacher, you know Pingyang is my sore spot, why do you still do this? Ah?"

"Keep calm." Zhang Shen's voice was filled with power, blessing Prince Yu and calming his emotions.

When Prince Yu's expression softened, he said gently, "Why would I lie to you?"

Seeing Prince Yu's facial features becoming increasingly ferocious, Zhang Shen sighed and said, "Forget it, just follow me."

Zhang Shen grabbed Prince Yu's arm with his backhand.

The clear light quickly devoured the two of them.

When he reappeared, he was already in a barren mountain on the border of Taikang County and Changle County.

Prince Yu followed Zhang Shen silently, his eyes a little dull.

Zhang Shen walked and looked until he came to the "old locust tree that could be hugged by three people" as written in the confession.

At this moment, Prince Yu's eyes once again revealed a strong desire and resistance.

Zhang Shen flipped his hand, and the soil automatically flew to both sides. Soon a skeleton came into the sight of the two.

“That’s not…”

Prince Yu's final resistance came to an abrupt end when his eyes fell on the golden crotch between Baisuke's throat and chest and abdomen.

Silent and endless sadness flowed from his eyes!

...

Yongfeng Street, Wei's Residence
This is a house with three entrances and three exits.

In the capital, a house in such a location would cost at least ten thousand taels!

"Why don't you hire some book boys, servants and maids?" Wei Yuan was the first to arrive. When he saw Wei An coming out alone to greet him, he couldn't help but ask.

"I'm used to being alone. I'll have to run around here and there in the future. I won't feel at ease if I rent those people to stay at home." Wei An laughed.

He has the Confucian skill of speaking nonsense and is able to take care of himself completely in life.

"Then what do you want the house for?" Wei Yuan rarely showed a hint of doubt.

"It's for my lifelong event, uncle." Wei An said as a matter of course.

Wei Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Right Inspector has a granddaughter who is quite pretty now that she's old enough."

The Inspector-Censor is a clean official.

Wei An shook his head.

Wei Yuan added, "The Governor of the Grand Canal is about your age with his niece, and is also very pretty. If you're interested, you can ask someone to arrange a meeting."

Wei An understood that this was another rich lady.

He still shook his head.

"Uncle, please have some tea." Wei An said.

Wei Yuan had no idea what made for a good nephew, so he simply ended the topic.

The second person to arrive was Teacher Chen Tai.

With the two elders keeping the situation in order, Wei An felt a lot more relaxed.

Afterwards, the dean and all the teachers of the academy arrived.

Some gave calligraphy, some gave precious jade, and some gave the four treasures of the study.

Wei An happily accepted it and thanked them one by one.

Next came the brothers Xu Xinnian and Xu Qian'an.

The two of them brought a lot of gifts.

For some reason, there was a hint of sadness between Xu Qian'an's brows.

The next to arrive were the sorcerers from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, including Chu Caiwei, Song Qing, Yan Pu, Su Hong, Mu Feng and others.

Wei Anshi didn't know whether Huaiqing could come.

Even though the fighting was so fierce last night, the thieves who blew up the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple have not been arrested yet.

Huaiqing is the emperor's daughter, the eldest princess. How can she take the risk and go out when the evil criminals have not been arrested and detained?

It was not convenient for him to invite only one female guest, Chu Caiwei.

So they simply called Su Hong, who was previously assigned to the hybrid rice project.

The last to arrive were Nangong Qianrou, Yang Yan, Jiang Luzhong and other Jinluo.

They all have official business. They come here just to give gifts, say a few words, have a meal, and then go back to working like slaves.

Nangong Qianrou must have changed her clothes in a hurry, as if she had just finished an interrogation.

"Give."

Nangong Qianrou handed a thick roll of paper to Wei An.

"What kind of gift is this?" Wei An asked in a curious and teasing tone.

He was about to open it when Nangong Qianrou stopped him and said, "Wait a little later and read it by yourself."

"Playing mysterious, alright." Wei An put it into his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Have you mentioned this to your uncle? I took action last night, but your uncle didn't say anything."

"Father said that when the time comes, you will know."

"What? So mysterious again."

"Do you still remember Cai You?"

"Cai You? The censor who reported me?"
