Dafeng Guardian 大奉打更人 Episode 2

Xu Pingzhi took his family back home and opened the door, only to see his son Xu Xinnian preparing to hang himself. Everyone was so scared that they rushed to rescue him. Xu Xinnian passed the imperial examination and worked in the academy. However, because he was well-read, he seemed a little pedantic. Now he was demoted to a lowly person. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He was so impulsive that he planned to hang himself. Fortunately, his family came back. Timely, otherwise you will become a ghost under the beam.

In the evening, everyone had a sumptuous family dinner, and then under the moonlight began to listen to how Xu Qian'an found out the truth of the case. When Xu Pingzhi heard that Xu Qian'an had refined metallic sodium, he was not surprised at all. He said it was so easy and he almost thought of it.

Xu Qian'an ate and slept well at home for a few days. He felt that he might not be able to travel back in time. Remembering that he still had to live his life slowly, he decided to calm himself down and make long-term plans. After spending a few days together, Xu Qian'an gradually got to know each member of the family. Xu Pingzhi was a warrior who was honest and straightforward, while his aunt was quite calculating and mercilessly plundered the money that Xu Pingzhi had carefully saved. Private money. The two younger sisters are innocent and simple-minded. The older one is diligent, cheerful and lively, and likes to read some "banned books", while the other sister, who is five or six years old, is a glutton with a voracious appetite.

Because of his meritorious service in finding out the truth, Xu Qian'an successfully became a small detective. Originally, he had no intention of being employed, he just wanted to make money, and the more the better, but the conditions were not enough, he didn't even have the capital to do business, and his sister-in-law insisted on not supporting idle people. , and coaxed him out directly. Xu Qian'an had no choice but to change into the clothes of a constable and go to the yamen to answer his orders.

On the first day he arrived, Xu Qian'an heard about a case. Wang Futou was getting irritated by the pressure from his superiors. On the one hand, he was urged to close the case, but on the other hand, he had no clue how to deal with it. Wang Futou was not optimistic about the handsome scholar at first, so he just stated the case as usual and then took out the file and gave it to him.

Xu Qian'an immediately guessed the general situation from the case: Zhang Yourui, a well-known local tycoon, married a concubine who was 20 years younger than him. As a result, Zhang Yourui was mysteriously murdered late one night. There were no signs of trampling on the grass or trees, nor unusual footprints. The deceased was injured by a blunt object and died on his back, but the fatal wound was on the back of the head, in the concubine's courtyard. At that time, the concubine said she saw someone escape over the wall. , but there were no traces on the wall.

At that time, Xu Qian'an inferred that it might be that Zhang Yourui's son Zhang Xian had an affair with his concubine. After being discovered by Zhang Yourui, he was afraid of being exposed, so he took drastic measures to deal with Zhang Yourui. Seeing that the concubine was worried, Xu Qian'an read some books on psychology. Unable to resist his questioning, the concubine told him the truth.

The result of the case was that the concubine continued to be imprisoned, while Zhang Xian was released soon after. Chu Caiwei had doubts in her mind, but Fu Tou told her not to worry about it anymore, because Fu Tou saw with his own eyes that the lawyer delivered the case closing documents to Haoqi Tower, and they were not responsible for the rest.
