Chapter 340

340 Wei Yuan’s shock (2)

“Just this? This is the dungeon for the night watchman.” The jailer thought to himself,”why do they need to put me in jail and call the Yamen for such a small matter?”

“This is called reform through labor. As a night watchman, I protect the safety of the Imperial City and am trusted and valued by His Majesty. It is my duty to educate the foolish people.”

“Sir is wise.”

After leaving the prison, he chatted with his aunt and sister in the spring breeze Hall until a black-clothed official came to report that an official who claimed to be from the Wenwen Bureau asked to see him.

This was within Xu Qi ‘an’s expectations. The concept of clansmen in this world was much stronger than in his previous life. If it was in his previous life, it was hard to say how much effort his uncle would be willing to put in when his nephew encountered such a situation.

After all, Xu Qi ‘an was not an ordinary night watchman now. He was a night watchman with a gold medal.

“Bring him to the spring breeze Hall.” Xu Qi ‘an stood up and left the side hall. He entered Li Yuchun’s ” office ” and sat in his seat.

I should be a silver Gong soon. Aiya, there are ten copper Gong slots. Who should I recruit … Out of the ten spots, one should be given to second uncle, one to aunt, one to Erlang, one to lingyue, and one to lingying as well. Haha, the whole family is out of money.

As he entertained himself, the door darkened. An official led an official with a goatee in. He was over fifty years old and wore a green official’s robe. The patch on his chest was a white silk, and his white sideburns were exposed under his official’s hat.

The moment he stepped into spring breeze Hall, this old man, who had been silent all this time and had an extremely high official’s authority, bloomed into a smile like a spring breeze.

“Lord Xu,. ‘ve long heard of your name, long heard of your name … Aiya, this official’s position is low, so I’ve never had the chance to see Lord Xu. I heard you’re a frequent visitor to the Imperial study.”

“If you want to see me, why don’t you just go to the Imperial Academy?” Xu Qi ‘an said lightly.

Doctor Zhao was stunned.

Xu Qi ‘an laughed out loud,”Lord Zhao is even funnier than the girls from the Academy …” Haha, please take a seat, take a seat. Someone come and have some tea.”

Doctor Zhao praised and criticized Xu Qi ‘an, implying that Xu Qi’ an was a trouble magnet and had countless enemies.

Xu Qi ‘an, on the other hand, compared him to a prostitute.

After a confrontation without the glint of a blade or the shadow of a sword, the clerk served him hot tea. Lord Zhao took a sip of tea and went straight to the point.

“Lord Xu, I wonder what mistake my disappointing nephew has made?”

“This is a big problem!”

Xu Qi ‘an frowned, as if he was troubled by physician Zhao.”Instigating the child to do things like robbing and snatching, and after the incident, gathering the servants to deliberately murder this official and my family.

“Lord Zhao, we’re both officials of the same court, so we should give each other face, but … The law is unforgiving!”

The expression of Lord Zhao, who had been in the government for many years, did not change. He even revealed a trace of shame.”It’s all because I didn’t restrain him well and let him do as he pleases.”

Lord Zhao took out a Silver Note from his sleeve and placed it on the table. He sincerely apologized, “”Lord Xu, please have mercy.”

Xu Qi ‘an took a look at the note. It was worth 100 yuan. He sighed.”My sister is slightly injured.”

Lord Zhao took out another one.

“My aunt is injured,” Xu Qi ‘an sighed.

Lord Zhao took out another one.

“My sister is slightly injured,” Xu Qi ‘an sighed.

“Lord Xu’s younger sister has already been injured.”

“Oh, I have two younger sisters.”

Lord Zhao took out another one.

“I’m also slightly injured,” Xu Qi ‘an sighed.

Lord Zhao’s mouth twitched and he took out another hundred taels.

“The missing bangle was. gift from His Majesty …”

Another one.

With this, there was a total of six hundred taels on the table. Even if Lord Zhao had been in the officialdom for decades, he still couldn’t help but Twitch the corner of his mouth.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t continue to make things difficult for him. It wasn’t that he wanted to quit while he was ahead, but that Zhao Shen had extorted 500 taels of silver not long ago, and now he was giving him a taste of his own medicine. He also asked for an extra hundred taels.

“I’ll forgive them for this.” Xu Qi ‘an carefully kept the silver notes and put them in her arms.

“Then … Young master Xu, please let him go.” Lord Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.

“This won’t do.” Xu Qi ‘an shook his head.

Lord Zhao’s face darkened.

Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of tea and smiled. “Debts must be paid, but there’s still interest, right? these five hundred silver notes are interest, you haven’t returned my principal yet.”

Lord Zhao stared at him with a sharp gaze. After a moment, he took a deep breath.”What does Lord Xu want?”

He was a doctor with real power and was in charge of dispatching officials. This power was not ordinary and could be said to determine the fate of the court’s local officials.

Other than the Commander-in-Chief, chief administrator, and disciplinary officer, he could not interfere with the appointment of these three second-rank officials. The transfer and appointment of the other local officials had to go through the hands of the Ministry of official personnel’s civil selection division.

Only Xu Qi ‘an, he was helpless.

The night watchmen was an organization set up to monitor hundreds of officials, so their positions naturally clashed. Moreover, personnel appointments did not belong to the officials. Another reason was that this kid was a pain in the ass.

He had Wei Yuan’s protection and had been entrusted by the Emperor to handle cases time and time again. Even the officials in the court were helpless against this little Gong, let alone a doctor like him.

“It’s not a big deal. Come, Lord Zhao, have a seat, have a seat,” Xu Qi ‘an motioned for him to sit down and raised his teacup. After Mr. Zhao took a sip of tea, Xu Qi’ an asked with a smile, ”

I heard that Wen Wenwen is in charge of the deployment of officials? ”

Doctor Zhao nodded.

“The spring examination is in a few days. I have a cousin who is extremely talented and well-educated. It will be easy for him to become a scholar.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“Since that’s the case, why is Lord Xu telling this to me? you can be at ease.” Doctor Zhao understood what he meant.
