Chapter 339
339 Wei Yuan’s shock (1)
Since ancient times, people had a natural reverence for officials. Looking at the imposing Yamen, the guards with sabers, and the solemn-faced night watchmen who came and went, aunt and Xu lingyue were a little afraid.
It was her aunt’s first time at the Yamen, so she was very nervous. She held Xu lingying in her arms and rubbed her face hard to calm her emotions.
The little boy’s face changed into various shapes in his aunt’s hands.
Xu lingyue quietly approached Xu Qi ‘an.
“Ningyan …”
A half-cooked copper Gong came over to greet them, his eyes darting between his aunt and Xu lingyue. It was obvious that he had been attracted by the beauty of his aunt and sister.
“This is my younger sister.” Xu Qi ‘an nodded and introduced Xu lingyue to him.
The copper Gong immediately smiled and looked at his aunt, “”Is this big sister?”
The aunt was stunned at first, then she smiled, her eyes curved into crescents.
“Have you ever seen a 36-year-old sister?” Xu Qi ‘an rolled her eyes.
“Xu ningyan!” Xuxu was trembling with anger.
Her age was actually announced? The aunt took a deep breath and said to herself,”don’t be angry, don’t be angry …” In front of outsiders, she had to maintain her image and could not pounce on nephew Hua and scratch his face.
Tong Luo looked at her aunt and Xu lingyue a few more times, then walked away reluctantly.
Xu Qi ‘an led the three women to the hall of spring breeze. Along the way, they met many familiar colleagues who greeted Xu Qi’ an warmly. Some of them mistook the aunt for Xu Qi ‘an’s sister.
In other words, he was praising her for being young and beautiful.
When they arrived at the side hall of spring breeze Hall, they ordered the clerk to serve tea and pour water. The aunt’s nervous mood was swept away, and she smiled,
“The night watchman of the Yamen is a man of striking appearance, and his words are pleasant to hear.”
Auntie, what you’re saying sounds weird … “I’ll wait at the entrance of the Yamen,” Xu Qi ‘an said.
He waited at the Yamen’s entrance for a quarter of an hour before three government officials arrived, as well as the Zhao couple.
“Sir, I’ve brought the criminal.” The young bounty hunter cupped his fists and said respectfully.
“En!”
Xu Qi ‘an nodded and took the rope. “You guys wait here, I’ll send the criminal to prison and then come out to return the rope.”
Zhao Shen and his wife turned pale with fright. Everyone in the capital knew the reputation of the night watchmen, and they also knew that the prison was a place where one could only enter but not leave.
Even if they were lucky enough to escape, they would have to shed a layer of skin and spend the rest of their lives in pain.
This was all Nangong qianrou’s fault. He had single-handedly created the bad reputation of being the night watchman’s dungeon.
Zhao Shen’s wife plopped onto the ground, crying and making a scene. “I don’t want to go to the Yamen. Kill me, kill me.”
It was obvious that this woman was used to being unreasonable at home, and her nature was difficult to change. Even though she had come to the Yamen, she was still very fierce and rogue.
Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes turned sharp. He snatched the Guard’s scabbard and slapped him.
Pfft … The woman spat out three large teeth, and her mouth was full of blood. She covered her face, as if she had been beaten senseless.
“It’s easy to die. I’ll fulfill your wish later.” “Why didn’t you think of this when you were bullying me?” Xu Qi ‘an sneered.
After saying that, he pulled the rope and dragged the couple into the Yamen.
The three bounty hunters stayed where they were, and one of them suddenly said, “”That Lord, doesn’t he look familiar?”
“…… Lord Xu? Before Constable Lu was promoted to Chief Constable, I was working for her and I met Lord Xu once. The change is too big, I can’t recognize it at all.”
I’ve seen him before too. No wonder he looks so familiar. Didn’t he die? at that time, Constable Lu was in a bad mood and lost his temper easily.
………..
Along the way, he attracted Tong Gong’s attention from time to time. He laughed and teased, “”Lord Xu, what kind of criminal are you holding? why are you crying?”
you two dogs, ” Xu Qi ‘an replied. today, I’ll let them have a taste of the brutal ways of society.
He came to the dungeon exclusive to the night watchman. clang … The prison door opened, and the dark and damp air rushed in.
Zhao Shen’s face was ghastly pale, and his eyes were filled with despair and terror. This was the most regretful moment of his life.
He had never thought that a small matter would cause him to suffer such a disaster.
The woman finally broke down. She cried, ” I pawned the bracelet. I’ll pay you back. I’ll pay you back. Don’t throw me into the dungeon …
Zhao Shen’s eyes widened as he looked at his wife. He finally understood the reason for this mysterious Lord’s anger. It turned out that his son had really bullied his sister time and time again.
So it was true that he had stolen the bracelet. So his wife knew everything.
It’s over. If the night watchman got hold of something, even a ranked official would be scared, let alone him. Would his uncle offend the night watchman for him?
He couldn’t help but feel regret. Why didn’t he clarify the matter first? why didn’t he handle this matter properly? why did he only think about using his uncle’s power to bully some commoners and small officials?
Zhao Shen burst into tears, muttering, “‘I’m finished, I’m finished …
He suddenly flew into a rage and kicked his wife over. He cursed, “”It’s all your fault, all your fault …”
He kicked and cursed at the same time. He wanted to divorce his wife, but the premise was that he could go back alive.
The woman wailed.
Xu Qi ‘an called the jailer over and took the two of them in. Then, he found the jailer and ordered, “”The couple that was just locked up, show them what you’re made of. Be careful.”
“Your sense of propriety … Should I leave him alive or a leg?” The prison head said in a troubled tone.
“……””They’re alive, but I beat them up every day,” Xu Qi ‘an said angrily. Pay attention when you beat them up, don’t lose an arm or a leg. I have use for these two people, understand?”
With that said, the jailer knew in his heart that Sir Xu was just teaching them a normal lesson and making them suffer in prison.
