The Night Watchman of Another World: I know a lot of things

Chapter 215 The Decline of the Nie Family

“What I mean is, I just can’t figure it out.

Life on earth lasts only a few decades, and even if you have achieved a high level of cultivation, it only lasts a few hundred years. A real man dies when he dies.

But face and reputation can be passed down for thousands of years after one's death and even affect future generations.

In our Sichuan area, if you have an elder who brings disgrace upon himself, all the descendants will also be disgraced, don’t you think so?”

That Mr. De said with a serious face.

"Yes! Yes!"

What happened next? "

"Later, from that day on, I don't know who started it, but we stopped calling him by his name and started calling him Nie Wudan instead.

As time went by, Nie Wudan became his real name.

Then, there was one time when the nearby Mianzhou Prefecture was besieged by evil spirits, and our Jinguan City wanted to send 500 night watchmen to provide assistance. In order to ease the reputation of Nie Wudu, their Nie family managed to squeeze him in.

I thought that he should cheer up. Even if he died on the city wall of Mianzhou Prefecture, it would be considered as a way to get his revenge.

But what happened was that this guy escaped an hour before the team set out.

It is said that they headed straight to the southeast, passed through Miao territory and crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains to reach Chu.

Haha, he doesn’t dare to face evil spirits, but he is not afraid of those fierce beasts in Miaojiang. "

At this point, Master De sneered.

"In the end, the news spread that Nie Wudan had lost all his courage and fled because of cowardice. The whole Jinguan City knew about it and he became a laughing stock in Jinguan City.

And the Nie family in the south of the city also lost their reputation because of the phrase "the Nie family has no bloodline."

When Mr. De said this, he sighed.

“I remember that the head of the Nie family at that time was old man Nie Jinchuan. When old man Nie heard that his grandson had fled Jinguan City out of cowardice, he was immediately furious and later expelled Nie Wujiu from the Nie family tree.

After that day, in order to restore the reputation of the Nie family, old man Nie Jinchuan even declared: If descendants are unfilial, they will bring disgrace to their ancestors. From now on, all descendants of the Nie family will not be able to enter the Nie family’s ancestral tomb.

From then on, all descendants of the Nie family wished to die in battle for the country and be buried in the Martyrs' Temple. The Martyrs' Temple thus became the new ancestral tomb of the Nie family.

Those who died in vain due to doing nothing will be left in a mass grave."

At this point, Mr. De's tone became heavy.

"Oh my god! I know which Nie family you are talking about, Master De. No wonder there is a place called Niejiapo in our Beishan Martyrs' Shrine. All the people buried there are those with the surname Nie.

This is where the emotion comes from.”

Boss Chang suddenly reacted.

"Yes, in the following ten years, the Nie family was like crazy, whether it was killing evil spirits or supporting the defense of the city, they always took the lead.

My Sichuan family is very proud. When a timid person appeared in the family, other members of the family fought to the death to prove themselves in order to prove that they were different.

I remember that in just over a decade, the Nie family went from a large clan of more than a hundred people to a small family of less than ten people. Now, they are barely surviving and no longer have the reputation they once had.

So, basically you have never heard of the name of the Nie Family in the South City.

Speaking of which, the Nie family in the south of the city is a family full of loyal heroes!

Even if there was a Nie Wudan back then, it would still be a top-notch family."

At this point, Mr. De sighed again.

"Hey, Master De, since you later knew that Nie Wudan had fled to the State of Chu, why didn't our Pao Brothers send someone to kill him?"

Wu Mule asked curiously, his face full of indignation.

"Oh, he didn't commit any crime, and he didn't sell out his friends for fame, why did you kill him?

Although my Pao Ge Society swears to be lenient, we will never care about those who are afraid of death.

Even if he fled out of cowardice, that was before the troops assembled, and he did not sign up voluntarily, so it does not count as desertion, and it does not meet the conditions for us, the Pao brothers, to take action.

And I guess, for a person like him, living might be more painful than dying, haha."

After hearing what Master De said, Boss Chang and Wu Mule both sighed.

-------------------------------------

Back to Yang Qing, after finding out the news about the younger generation of the Nie family, he went straight to look for them.

Considering that one of them had the surname Luo and judging by her name, she should be a woman, and fearing any misunderstanding, after much deliberation, Yang Qing decided to go find Nie Youjiu first.

I found the Night Patrol Office of Jinguan City, but because it was still daytime, there were few night watchmen inside.

Yang Qing originally wanted to ask the yamen runners inside about Nie Youjiu's address, but was told that the night watchman's information could not be leaked. Instead, they began to interrogate Yang Qing's information.

As for Yang Qing, since he had just been framed by the Liu family of Hengzhou Prefecture and was still wanted, he had to use Long Congyun's identity to fool people.

In the end, the communication was fruitless, and he could only squat at the gate of the Night Patrol Division, waiting for Nie Youjiu to come on duty.

As the sun set in the west, Yang Qing watched the thousands of Kongming lanterns slowly rise up, and then people began to enter and leave the Night Tour Office one after another.

After a while, the yamen runner at the door, who had become familiar with Yang Qing, pointed at the middle-aged monk who was walking unsteadily and said, "Hey, that drunk guy over there is Nie Youjiu.

But you have to be careful when you go to him, because he might ask you to borrow money. He is a wine lover and a gambler. Although he is a monk, he is poorer than ordinary people like me.

You see, his name is really correct. It seems that he is drunk again and comes to work. If Commander Ge sees him, he will definitely scold him again."

The bailiff was a good talker and revealed all of Nie Youjiu's secrets.

Yang Qing then stepped forward to stop Nie Youjiu, but unexpectedly Nie Youjiu's reaction was very intense. He put his arm around Yang Qing's shoulders and said in a flattering manner.

"Haha, brother, are you from Boss Xiong's side or Wangcai Casino?

Please tell your boss again that I will definitely pay back the money I owe you. Everyone knows the good character of me, Nie Youjiu. I have never owed you money and failed to pay it back in all these years, haha.

I have had bad luck recently, so I will definitely run into an evil spirit tonight. When I get the Filthy Pearl, I will definitely come to you first."

After saying that, he patted Yang Qing's shoulder as a gesture of goodwill.

After just a few words, Yang Qing realized that Nie Youjiu had misunderstood and thought he was sent by some gambling house to collect debts.

Then he laughed and told Nie Youjiu the purpose of his visit.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier that you weren't here to collect the debt? You made me so nervous."

Nie Youjiu exhaled, the tension on his face suddenly disappeared, and then he continued.

"You said you came all the way from Chu just to return the remains of an ancestor to me?

Thank you very much!

Normally, I should treat you to a good meal, but as you can see, I am very short of money and I still owe foreign debts.

How about you lend me some first, and when I'm lucky tonight and kill a few evil spirits, I'll have the money to pay you back."

Yang Qing paused when he heard this, but still took out a silver note of one hundred taels from his storage bag.

The next second, it was snatched away by Nie Youjiu.

"Thanks, brother!

I'll take over first, see you here tomorrow morning."

Now that Nie Youjiu had money, the alcohol in him seemed to have dissipated a lot, and he ran into the Yeyousi quickly.

Yang Qing looked helpless.
