There are only ten Golden Gongs in the entire Dafeng capital, all of whom are fourth-rank warriors, the same level as Lu Xiao currently is.
They all took orders directly from Wei Yuan and Wei Qingyi.
Lu Xiao was able to request to see a Jinluo simply by relying on his status as a student at Yunlu Academy.
This shows how high the status of Confucian scholars is in Dafeng.
This is all thanks to the Confucian saints.
A thousand years ago, the Confucian Sage single-handedly elevated Confucianism to the pinnacle of many spiritual cultivation systems.
Of course, this is also because he has enough confidence.
Soon, Lu Xiao was brought to the reception room.
Tongluo, the guide, said carefully, "Sir, please wait a moment. Master Jinluo will be here soon."
Lu Xiao waved his hand impatiently.
Then the man retreated.
At the same time, outside the Haoqi Tower, a bronze gong loudly reported.
"Your Excellency, Lord Wei, a student from Yunlu Academy just arrived and said he wants to report a crime. Please make your decision, Lord Wei."
Inside the room, Wei Yuan put down the teacup in his hand, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.
"Oh, a student from Yunlu Academy came to report a crime. That's quite unusual. Did he say what the case was?"
The person outside replied, "No, that young man was very arrogant and directly said that he would send a Jinluo master to meet him. However, he brought a few young beggars with him, claiming that they were victims of the crime."
It was clear that there was some resentment in his tone.
But Wei Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay. Scholars are always like this. Since there's a victim, it doesn't seem like a big deal. In that case, Yang Yan, you can go. You don't have anything to do today anyway, so you don't have to stay here with me."
Opposite Wei Yuan, a serious-looking young man immediately bowed.
"Yes, godfather."
Wei Yuan has ten golden gongs under his command.
But there are only two people who can call him godfather.
This is the doctor Lin Yinqi Y (one of the four houses 49 Bazhong.
With his strength, he is considered to be among the best among all the Golden Gongs.
But at this moment, Wei Yuan asked casually.
"By the way, what's the name of that student from Yunlu Academy?"
The person outside immediately replied, "He calls himself Lu Xiao."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room immediately quieted down.
Wei Yuan unconsciously turned his gaze to a memorial on the table.
The contents inside clearly described what happened in the Princess's residence last night.
Wei Yuan specially circled the above words with a red pen.
Exactly: Lu Xiao, the sage of Confucianism.
After a long silence, Wei Yuan raised his head.
"Looks like you don't need to go. So early in the morning, the dignified Confucian saint has come to visit my night watchman's office. Interesting, truly interesting."
Honestly, if it was someone like the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sect or the Holy Son of the Human Sect, Wei Yuan would definitely not care that much.
But he is the saint of Confucianism.
He is also the first Confucian saint in two hundred years.
Huaiqing could guess some things.
As the most intelligent and strategic person in Dafeng, Wei Yuan naturally couldn't fail to guess.
This is the fundamental reason why he values Lu Xiao.
Wei Yuan then said to the outside, "Go and invite him over and tell him I want to see him."
Although he valued it, Wei Yuan would never take the initiative to meet Lu Xiao.
After all, his identity is different from that of an ordinary night watchman.
Even if he went to Yunlu Academy, Dean Zhao Shou would personally greet him.
But even so, people outside were still shocked.
Fortunately, he reacted immediately and replied.
"Yes, Duke Wei!"
"Oh, Duke Wei wants to see me?"
After hearing this news, Lu Xiao was quite surprised.
This was indeed beyond his expectations.
Although he wanted to bring Wei Yuan into the game, he didn't want to meet him so soon.
Sleeping Wei Yuan is too smart.
Lu Xiao didn't want his true intentions to be seen through.
But at this moment, it seemed that he had no choice.
If I leave now, Wei Yuan will only become more suspicious.
"Alas, I shouldn't have shown off in public yesterday."
Lu Xiao sighed slightly inwardly.
Since Wei Yuan would take the initiative to meet him, an ordinary student from Yunlu Academy.
He must have known what happened last night.
The efficiency of the night watchman's office is truly terrifying.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiao made a decision.
Since you can't hide, then let's meet.
So he stood up and followed the guide towards Haoqi Tower.
Haoqi Building has seven floors.
It is the tallest building in the entire capital, except for the Sitianjian Observatory.
Wei Yuan, known as "Wei Qingyi" by the Jianghu people, usually stayed in the teahouse on the seventh floor.
Even though Lu Xiao had seen a lot of the market, when he first came to Haoqi Tower, he was still shocked by the scale of the place.
Chapter 117 The Hateful Scholar
As Lu Xiao stepped into the tea room on the seventh floor.
A middle-aged man with a refined and elegant air appeared in his sight.
The man was dressed in a sky-blue robe embroidered with intricate cloud patterns. His dark hair was tied back with a jade hairpin, his temples were frosted white, his face was white and beardless, his eyes were deep, and he looked like he had been washed clean by the vicissitudes of life.
Honestly, with this aura, no one would doubt that he looked more like a scholar than Lu Xiao.
No need to guess, this person is Wei Yuan.
Lu Xiao stepped forward and then saluted in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Lu Xiao from Yunlu Academy, greetings to Lord Wei."
There was a hint of respect in his tone.
This is genuine.
Over the years, if Wei Yuan hadn't been there, Dafeng would have been rotten to the core.
Therefore, in front of Wei Yuan, even if Lu Xiao tried to pretend, he couldn't act arrogant.
Besides, we are all smart people. If we continue to pretend, then it will be meaningless.
His acting skills were good enough to fool ordinary night watchmen, but it was almost impossible to deceive Wei Yuan.
Therefore, the moment he knew he was going to meet Wei Yuan, Lu Xiao changed his tactics.
For someone like Wei Yuan, treating others with sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
After hearing this, Wei Yuan smiled gently and said, "As expected of a contemporary saint of Confucianism, your aura is truly extraordinary."
Lu Xiao said modestly, "Mr. Wei, thank you for your kind words."
"sit."
Wei Yuan raised his hand to signal.
Lu Xiao didn't hesitate and immediately walked over to him and sat down in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
This scene made Yang Yan, who was standing behind Wei Yuan, stunned.
Although Wei Yuan seemed kind, he exuded a powerful, undeniable aura that was not something most people could handle.
Lu Xiao was so young, yet he was able to remain so calm in front of Wei Yuan.
This alone cannot be underestimated.
Then the tea room fell into a brief silence.
Seeing this, Lu Xiao did not take the initiative to speak.
Instead, he calmly drank the tea that Wei Yuan poured himself.
Finally, Wei Yuan couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Your personality is completely different from your teacher's."
Lu Xiao could tell that Wei Yuan was saying he was thick-skinned.
Few people in the world could calmly accept the tea he poured.
Then he smiled and said, "The teacher is the teacher, and I am me. No saint said that students must be like their teachers, right?"
Wei Yuan nodded: "Yes, that's right. It would be terrible if the younger generation were all like the older generation."
Lu Xiao agreed with this.
"Duke Wei has a good opinion."
"I heard you're here to report a crime?" Wei Yuan finally got to the point.
Lu Xiao said frankly, "That's right."
"What case? Tell me about it." Wei Yuan asked.
Lu Xiao said bluntly, "It's a case of kidnapping. Last night, I met a little beggar. I felt sorry for him, so I gave him some silver and chatted with him for a while. As a result, we came up with this case. I then traveled to many places in Kyoto overnight and found over thirty victims. I brought a few of them here today. If Lord Wei is interested, you can ask them in person."
This is not a lie, it's just a detail that was overlooked.
Meeting that little beggar was not a coincidence, but something he did on purpose. (VI) Suspected of attracting the Japanese VIII Sisi Ba.
But no matter what, all the things he said can be verified.
Not afraid of being exposed.
In addition, this is not afraid of being exposed, and it is not prepared for Wei Yuan, but for others.
After hearing this, Wei Yuan immediately asked, "Forget asking. I still believe the words of a Confucian saint. However, since this is a child trafficking case, it should be handed over to Jingzhao Prefecture for resolution. Why did you come directly to my night watchman's office?"
The night watchmen's office only targeted court officials.
Ordinary human trafficking cases would not fall into their hands.
Lu Xiao said calmly, "Of course, the mastermind behind this case is Ling Ying, a high-ranking official from the Qishi Temple."
"Are you saying that an imperial official established a human trafficking organization specifically to kidnap and sell children?"
Wei Yuan immediately understood what Lu Xiao meant.
Lu Xiao continued, "Not just children, but women as well."
At this moment, Wei Yuan fell into deep thought.
