Dafeng Guardian 大奉打更人 Episode 22

Lin'an, thinking of their friendship, personally went to the front court to present a blood letter, which had a great impact on all the officials. Originally, Princess Pingyang had violated the imperial edict and fled privately, which was also an easy thing for people to frame, but with Lin'an there, those who wanted to stop her were blocked. The emperor finally sentenced Zhang Feng to behead because he spoke on behalf of his lover.

When Lin'an's mother, the imperial concubine, heard that her daughter had brought the blood letter to the court, she was so angry that she went to find Lin'an in person and accused her of interfering in state affairs. She said that her father usually spoiled her because she was ignorant of the world and had never been calculating. But now... The imperial concubine severely criticized her for showing up in public for a princess. Lin'an didn't listen to her mother's accusations at all. She kept missing Pingyang in her mind. Thinking back to the tragic scene when she last saw her, Lin'an couldn't help feeling heartbroken. A butterfly flew in from somewhere, circling around Lin'an for a long time and was reluctant to leave. Lin'an's eyes became red again. She stared at the butterfly again and again, muttering to herself, "Could it be that Sister Pingyang finally gained her freedom?"

Henghui was also released from prison. He heard that Zhang Feng would be beheaded within five days. All those who had murdered Princess Pingyang were punished, and it could be considered a grudge was settled. I think my junior brother should be able to rest in peace.

The position of Minister of War was vacant, and the emperor asked the court officials to recommend capable candidates. Everyone rushed to recommend their own trusted ones, but Wei Yuan remained silent. The emperor was puzzled, so he let the position of Minister of War be handed over to the Shangshu Bureau. Finally, Wei Yuan begged the emperor to pardon Xu Qian'an's death sentence, but the emperor still did not agree.

After learning about Pingyang's unjust case, Lin'an has been staying in the palace, losing his appetite and crying every day. The princess was also very sad, so she called Xu Qian'an over and gave him a scroll and the cakes she had carefully prepared. Let Xu Qian'an pass it to Lin'an. In Lin'an's courtyard, the maidservant refused to let Xu Qian'an in, and now Lin'an refused to see anyone.

After the maid left, Lin'an opened the scroll sent by Xu Qian'an. It turned out to be a painting by Princess Pingyang when she was alive. It showed the scene of them strolling together during the Lantern Festival, and there was also a short poem written by Pingyang herself. Seeing Pingyang's handwriting, Lin'an started crying again. The prince came to visit Lin'an and was also sad to hear her crying.

Recently, Xu Qiyan had not brought home any money for a long time, and his aunt started to find trouble, asking Xu Pingzhi and Xu Qiyan to take out their monthly salaries immediately. Having no money in their pockets was a very anxious thing, so Xu Qiyan and Xu Pingzhi had to say that they would not eat meat in the future, and eating vegetables could help them increase income and reduce expenditure. But just as he finished speaking, the eunuch from the court came to the Xu family to read the imperial edict. The emperor's reward was finally returned. When Xu Pingzhi and his aunt saw the glittering 5,000 taels of gold awarded by the emperor, their eyes were wide open. Most people have never seen such dazzling gold. Finally, Xu Qiyan's status in the family rose sharply. His aunt and Xu Pingzhi immediately came forward to ask about his well-being. Xu Qiyan was also generous and naturally gave a lot of gold to his aunt to manage.

Xu Qian'an also brought some gold to give to several of his former Tongluo brothers and Li Yuchun. Everyone was grateful when they saw the gold. Since ancient times, people can share hardships but not happiness, but Xu Qian'an was able to get the benefits and remember to share them. It was really What a rare good person!

The emperor has been slow to pardon Xu Qiyan's death sentence, which makes Xu Qiyan feel uneasy. Wei Yuan's answer is that the emperor does not like him, probably because of Linglong's incident last time. Xu Qian'an asked if he could be spared from death if he caught Zhou Chixiong. Wei Yuan nodded, saying that catching Zhou Chixiong would certainly be a great achievement.

The second member of Tiandihui finally caught Zhou Chixiong and brought him to Xu Qiyan on a phoenix. With Zhou Chixiong, he also needed someone to help him. Xu Qiyan found the great scholar of Bailu Academy and Caiwei of Sitianjian. Accompany him to meet the emperor.
