Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 80 What do they want to criticize me for?
"I heard that Du'e Arhat went to the capital, so this transaction can wait for a few more days."

Xu Pingfeng looked confident.

Du'e's trip to the capital was a wasted one.

"Do you still want to invite Wei An into reincarnation?"

Liuli Bodhisattva ignored his nagging and began to negotiate terms.

Please enter reincarnation?

That's very welcome.

Xu Pingfeng smiled and said, "I'd like to borrow the Buddhist treasure."

……

"These people are really putting me in a difficult position. I'm just a commoner, someone whose identity hasn't been verified yet, but they suspect I have some connection to them, yet they're making a scene in the palace, even involving the Supervisor, the Dean, and the Imperial Master."

"Oh, this is what happened to Dafeng during its time of survival."

After listening to Master Li’s retelling, Wei Andao.

There is undisguised sarcasm in his words!
These senior officials in the court may have thought that Yuan Jing was manipulating party disputes as usual.

Wei An, however, deeply felt the malice from Yuan Jing!
This kind of malice can easily arouse Wei An's rebellious psychology.

I have to go back to Beijing and jump on his face!
"It's fine. Don't act on impulse."

Li Mubai hurried forward to persuade him.

"Let's not talk about this, Master Li, do you know Mr. Sanxi?"

I just talked to Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan about the situation in Yunzhou.

At this moment, Wei An took the opportunity to tell the story of Mr. Sanxi.

"Sir, you are righteous!"

"Damn you thief!"

"From this it seems that the thieves have deeply penetrated Yunzhou."

"... "

A group of senior students from the academy sighed and were filled with indignation.

"I've met Xin Wushan several times. Your guess is correct, Wuyang. He's definitely not someone who would be greedy for money and sacrifice his integrity."

Li Mubai said solemnly.

Yunzhou is really riddled with holes.

"You don't have to dwell on it. He could have stayed put at that point. Since he chose to expose himself and pass on the information to you, I think it's more because he doesn't want to be a thief anymore."

Master Li’s words made Wei An’s eyes dim.

If you don't want to be a thief anymore, what other outcome will there be?

Sacrifice yourself for justice!
"I will immediately report this to the court and ask them to send a large force to wipe them out!"

Li Mubai said in a loud voice.

……

two days later

"Dong dong~"

Nangong Qianrou knocked on Wei An's door.

"No more delay, we must return to Beijing today."

After talking to Li Mubai that day, Wei An went out with Yang Qianhuan, and after coming back, he locked himself in the house.

The government servants came to deliver food, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone regularly, but no one knew what he was doing.

"boom."

Wei An opened the door, looking as fresh and healthy as usual, with a clean face and spotless clothes.

He seemed to be full of energy, but in fact his eyebrows were throbbing non-stop.

"Lao Nangong Jinluo, help me move it."

He was too exhausted to do anything.

Nangong Qianrou walked into the house puzzled.

The room was filled with the rich scent of ink, and tiny specks of dust were flying in the golden light, but there was no clutter around.

What…what?!

Nangong Qianrou was confused and her heart trembled the moment her eyes fixed on the desk.

There were small boxes and cabinets usually used to store clothes, but they were all neatly stacked up in a whole cabinet, and they were all engraved spells!

This is a spell engraved by the Confucian third-level destiny realm!

Picking out any one book from this cabinet would be enough to make the night watchmen in the yamen fight over it!

A treasure that provides early warning when nothing happens and saves your life when something goes wrong!

He carefully lifted it up and went to the main hall of the yamen with Wei An with an expressionless face.

"Did you burn this in the past two days?"

Even though he knew that Wei An had a special literary temperament and that he had reached the third rank, Li Mubai was still shocked when he saw these cabinets with his own eyes.

Wei An picked out a few books from the list and gave one to Nangong Qianrou, Yang Yan, Zhao Bin, Tangshan Hu and Li Yun.

He continued, "This book is mostly about qigong techniques. The last five are about Taoist Golden Elixir, Wu Shen Cult's Curse, Warrior's Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Array Master's Heavenly Thunder Attack Formation, and my Confucianism's Draw the Ground to Prison."

Taoist golden elixir, one golden elixir can break all laws!

It’s perfect for dealing with the witch god cult’s killing curse!
The witch god teaches the killing curse, and the night watchmen have suffered for a long time!

I've been craving it for a long time!
A warrior with a skin of steel and bones...

It's not very good for them as night watchmen.

The formation master's offensive formation is pretty good!

Confucianism draws a circle to create a prison, which sounds awesome and extraordinary!
Zhao Bin, Tangshan Hu and Li Yun quickly put the book into their arms and escaped from the hands of Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan in time!
Wei An smiled and withdrew his gaze, looking at Li Mubai, and said seriously, "Master Li, these are mostly the defense and attack arrays of array masters, followed by the recovery techniques of physicians, and some Taoist golden elixirs and witch god curse killing techniques. There are too many of them, and they won't be of much use against high-grade ones!"

He is tied with third-rank at the fourth rank, and tied with second-rank at the third rank, and sometimes slightly better. This is due to the saint's carving knife and the heroic spirit of the Confucian saint, as well as his fast recovery of literary energy, a triple blessing!

Normally, it is difficult to win if there is a difference of one grade. The higher the grade, the greater the gap, and the more difficult it is to win.

"I understand." Li Mubai stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.

"You can't say that. It's still very useful at critical moments, and... there are so many of them!" He couldn't help but praise again.

I am so happy!

This is a great gift from a good student!

Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan's eyes were so red with envy that they felt uncomfortable even if they looked at each other for a few more seconds.

How is this useful?

If these were equipped to the night watchmen, even if it was the Witch God Cult, the brothers would confidently destroy it!

"I'm glad to see you."

"I hope Master Li and all the other brothers are doing well in Yunzhou. There's no need to see me off. I'm leaving now to return to the capital."

Wei An took a step back, bowed deeply, stood up, and walked out.

Li Mubai went up anyway, intending to see him off, but...

"too tired."

Yang Yan lifted the carriage curtain and saw Wei An leaning against the carriage, falling into a deep sleep.

"Let him have a good rest."

Li Mubai signaled him to carefully lower the curtain.

He stepped aside, stood by the road, and watched the governor's team walk far, far away.

……

Yuzhou
Bamboo and Rock Pavilion

Mr. Dong Liu looked at the dozen or so young students sitting at the desk and said in a deep voice, "This Pinyin method is easy to learn and understand. You have already been teaching it in Yuzhou for several days. Now you should go to other states and teach students and children there."

"Yes, sir!"

The young students bowed in response.

They will set out westward, passing through Zhangzhou, Leizhou, Jiangzhou, Jianzhou, and finally return to Beijing.

...

Qingzhou
Governor's Office

Yang Gong looked at the dozen or so academy students in front of him.

"In the academy, you are all older than Wuyang. How is Wuyang in the academy? I don't need to say more."

"You have long understood the effectiveness of the Pinyin method. This is the perfect time for our academy to provide a great education. You should rise to the challenge and forge ahead!"

"Yes, sir!"

They will set out to the northeast, passing through Yongzhou, Yuzhou, Xiangzhou, Jingzhou, Chuzhou, and finally return to Beijing.

The entire journey was carried out using a burned-in teleportation array. It wasn't a difficult subject, and one or two people in each state could teach it.

……

this day
imperial study room

"Your Majesty, Governor Zhang previously reported that there were bandits hiding in Yunzhou, accumulating wealth and plotting rebellion, and requested that the imperial court send troops to suppress them. Today, the Yunzhou Provincial Administration Commissioner has reported this matter again, demonstrating the urgency of the situation and the urgency of the situation."

This is the third time Zhang Shen mentioned this matter.

When it was brought up for the first time, Yuan Jing pretended to discuss it, but it ended up being left unresolved.

When it was brought up for the second time, Yuan Jing responded with a few words, ending it by saying that the situation on the border was tense and that troops should not act rashly.

"Your Majesty, the thieves are plotting rebellion. We must send troops to destroy them immediately!"

"Your Majesty, treason is no small matter, and it must be dealt with immediately!"

"His Majesty…"

Regardless of which party they belong to, everyone is coming out to give advice at this moment.

Conspiring for treason is harmful to the national system of Dafeng, and this is digging into the base of these people!
No party will allow this to happen!

No matter how much Emperor Yuan Jing expresses his attitude, they will not follow his attitude!
"Your Majesty, the two memorials clearly state that sorcerers were involved. I believe this matter should be consulted with the Imperial Observatory first."

This is Yuan Xiong, the new Censor of the Ministry of Justice.

He transformed himself from "Wei Yuan's man" to "Wang Dang's man".

In fact, all the senior officials in the court knew that he was a villain!

A villain who has no stance, no principles, and no scruples in flattering the emperor's will!
This piece of shit!

Guan Hui would find a way to follow Emperor Yuan Jing's wishes!
Ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory?

The warden is sick and is not seen!
I asked the younger ones, but they couldn’t get any information either!

It would be bad to offend the supervisor, so why not arrest him and ask him for an explanation?

There is no such brave man in the court!
Yuan Xiong was also sure of this.

Zhang Shen recognized this evasive ploy and immediately said, "Your Majesty, the sorcerer is only one of the traitors. The most important thing right now is to send troops to suppress them!"

"Minister Zhang's words are absurd," Yuan Xiong said seriously, adding, "Your Majesty, Minister Zhang's military strategy says, 'Know yourself and know your enemy.' I have never heard of anyone rashly sending troops without understanding the enemy's situation."

"The sorcerer's formation is so sophisticated that even searching the mountain would not reveal him. This shows that he is definitely not an ordinary person. We must be extremely cautious."

He even talked about military strategy!
Just as someone was about to step forward to refute the suggestion, Emperor Yuan Jing said, "According to your words, what should we do?"

Yuan Xiong's lips curled up with a hint of joy, but he quickly calmed down and bowed his head, saying, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, you can draw some troops from Qingzhou or Yuzhou Command, or allow Yunzhou Command to expand. It is better to be still than to move. Relying on the strength of the city, it is better to defend than to attack."

It really makes him say something.

"The situation is urgent, how can we be careless and neglectful?"

The royalists came out to refute.

"We don't even know where the enemy is, how many troops they have, or what their military preparations are. We have no idea. Sending troops out at random would be a foolish move!"

Yuan Xiong handled it with ease.

"According to reports from Lord Zhang and Lord Li, the bandits have robbed countless young men, women, and children. Your Majesty, you must not take this lightly, Your Majesty."

Another senior official stepped forward to offer advice.

"Your Majesty, the confession only mentions looting and trading. It has not been verified whether these young men, women, and children were bought by the traitors. How can we make a conclusion? It is also unclear whether they were sold to certain traffickers."

Yuan Xiong seemed to be arguing with his ministers
In fact, the bastard is relying on the emperor's favor and is getting a little carried away and acting recklessly!

Wang Zhenwen stepped forward at that moment and said, "Your Majesty, you should either draw troops from other provinces, allow Yunzhou to expand its forces, or send a large force. You should also send night watchmen to investigate the situation. You should act when the time is right. How can you remain unchanged?"

Now, that's called sophistication!

And the weight of the Prime Minister lies here.

Generally speaking, whenever Wang Zhenwen spoke, Emperor Yuan Jing would weigh the pros and cons no matter what.

Yuan Xiong went back obediently.

Knowing who can be the boss and who cannot be the boss at what time is the most important way for a treacherous official to survive.

Emperor Yuan Jing pondered for a moment and said, "According to your suggestion, I will issue an imperial decree to allow the Qingzhou Command to expand by 200 personnel, and to have the military equipment selected from the armory. Furthermore, I will order the night watchmen to investigate the criminals as quickly as possible!"

……

palace garden
"Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

The queen took Huaiqing's hand and said.

Huaiqing looked at his mother's face. Although it was full of smiles, he couldn't hide his depression.

"I heard that your Majesty Queen Mother had a poor appetite, so I came to see you and brought some new dishes for you to try," Huaiqing said.

"Oh?"

The queen's eyebrows twitched with joy.

"Okay, call your brother over and have lunch together, okay?"

Huaiqing really couldn't bear to go against his mother's wishes.

Fortunately, she knew that her mother did not force her to help her brother.

"it is good."

She nodded.

The queen immediately sent someone to call him.

Then he asked Huaiqing, "I heard that Wei An is going back to the capital. He's been away for over a month, and he hasn't sent you a letter yet?"

Wei An and Xin, two key words, touched Huaiqing's memory.

She thought of the letter Wei An had left behind when he left Beijing, which was hidden in the Mathematics section...

Why rush?
"No." Huaiqing collected his thoughts and shook his head without changing his expression.

"After all, he is young and doesn't understand much." The Queen concluded, then added, "You should bring him to see me."

"How can he meet the Queen Mother?" Huaiqing shook his head and answered casually.

"Why shouldn't I see that? I've heard his book 'Mathematics' is quite profound, and even those who are well versed in mathematics can't fully comprehend it. I'm also interested in mathematics. He's such a talented young man. When he returns, I'll issue an imperial decree to invite him to the palace to lecture to me."

The Queen laughed.

He seemed to be pleased with his own little scheme.

Huaiqing also smiled, "As long as the Queen Mother is happy."

Soon, the fourth prince arrived.

The palace maids also arranged the ingredients for the white porridge hotpot one by one.

"Did he teach you this too?"

There was a hint of mischief in the queen's cheerful tone.

Huaiqing nodded generously and added, "He always has some novel and ingenious ideas."

"This white porridge hotpot is refreshing and will be the perfect solution to your anorexia."

She picked up the silver chopsticks and served the food herself.

The mother and daughter were chatting happily, leaving the Fourth Prince aside.

"I heard that Wei An has been promoted to the third rank. Does Huai Qing know about this?"

He tried hard to change the subject during a break.

"I didn't know this before. I only found out after hearing Governor Zhang's report." Huaiqing fished out a few clams from the first portion. "Mother, please taste them slowly. Be careful of the heat."

"Okay." The queen nodded with a smile.

"After he returned to Beijing, did he continue to research steam locomotives and steamships?"

The Fourth Prince asked again.

"Steam trains and steamships." Huaiqing shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my royal brother. Steam trains and steamships will be just like honeycomb coal."

"Such a huge income? How can you eat it all by yourself?"

"Huaiqing, I'm definitely not trying to make money for myself. You're eating all the food yourself. The other brothers and sisters have already complained about the honeycomb coal. As for steam trains and steamships, the clan members and nobles should definitely share some of the profits, right?"

The Fourth Prince said a little excitedly.

Huaiqing continued to serve the beef slices, "Don't disturb the Queen Mother's appetite."

Her light words immediately calmed her brother down.

"Brother Emperor, I just want to ask, after these revenues have gone into the treasury, have they been distributed to them?"

Another question made the Fourth Prince shut up.

The Fourth Prince hesitated again and again. There were some things he didn't say. He just reminded them, "Be careful. These people are greedy for money."

Huaiqing chuckled, "I'm giving my own money to the night watchmen. What does it have to do with them?"

The Fourth Prince was stunned, "You..."

Huaiqing said coldly again, "I'm not going to ascend to the throne, so what do they want to report me for? To win over Duke Wei with money, or to use their power for personal gain? To seek their money?"
