Sir, I can do it!

It won't work if you don't let the emperor call the shots.Anyway, the emperor will not let the Xie family control Huaizhong, especially the loss of a large number of salt trucks this time, the imperial court must hold these in their own hands to be at ease.

Li Huai rubbed his fingers, he was also thinking who would be more appropriate to send to Huaizhong.

Recovering the stolen salt cart is the top priority, but the Xie family's foundation lies in the gathering of nobles in Huaizhong.If only ordinary courtiers are sent there, I'm afraid they will fall into the hands of Mrs. Xie.Once a person arrives in Huaizhong, he will definitely become a puppet of the Xie family.

If they also send ministers of noble origin to go there, if they join forces with the Xie family, the court will not be worth the loss.In fact, Li Huai still prefers to send Xie's family to investigate, but the matter is urgent, and the two forces will inevitably be at odds with each other, and they will investigate the case.

After all, there are too few courtiers like Wang Yi who came from aristocratic backgrounds but are devoted to their duties.Li Huai couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

After hesitating, Mingde came to report: "Master Lu, please see me."

Xie Hong saluted and retreated very winkingly, Mingde led him to the side hall for tea.Of course, Xie Hong was not in the mood to taste tea at all.He knew that Lu Ding, an old man, was the most trusted by the emperor, and he must have discussed with him who to send to Huaizhong at this time.

Xie Hong really hit the nail on the head. During the court meeting, Lu Xiangye, the head of civil servants, kept silent. In fact, when Xie Hong jumped out and said first that the Huaizhong salt truck had been robbed, he was already considering sending it to Huaizhong. in the selected.

"Wei Zhao?!" Li Huai couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

If he didn't know that Lu Ding had always been calm and never liked to tell jokes, Li Huai would really have thought that he was making fun of himself at this time.

Pointing to a few cases, he frowned and said: "Master Xiang knows that both Zheng Guohou and his son are in charge of the army in Shuobei, and Huaizhong is not far from Shuobei."

Because Wei Ru's wife came from the Chu family in Ningzhou, the court was already afraid of her, after all, this in-law was too powerful.If Wei Zhao gets involved with Huaizhong forces again, wouldn't he be going to heaven.

"...Wei Zhao is not honest."

Lu Ding replied: "But at this time, he is indeed a suitable candidate. Although Huaizhong is not far from Shuobei, the Wei family and his son are ordered to guard the two states of Yunshuo, and they are not allowed to leave without an order. And the old lady Wei is still in Beijing. In the palace, there are three empress Wei, mother and son, what is the emperor afraid of?"

"If you are worried that Wei Zhaoran will refer to Huaizhong forces, don't forget that Huaizhong nobles are deeply entrenched. Although Wei Zhao has the backing of the Zhenguohoufu, when he first entered Huaizhong, he was inevitably restricted by the nobles. Similarly, Because the nobles are afraid of the Marquis Mansion, they will not deliberately make things difficult. After all, the Wei family and the Yang Miao family have no interests involved. At this time, finding the robbed salt truck is the top priority."

"Wei Zhao has experience in handling major cases. He is tactful, alert and calm. It is perfect for him to handle this case."

He chuckled and said in a low voice: "Besides, he is the son of Weiru, Marquis of Zhenguo. He went to Huaizhong. Huaizhong is afraid that it will become lively. Will Zhenguohou be at ease? It is inevitable that you will look forward and backward and lose your sense of proportion.”

Li Huai couldn't help but sat up straight.Lu Ding really understood Li Huai's thoughts best.Whether it is the secret between Zhen Guohou and the royal family, or the Wei family army in Zhen Guohou's hands, it is enough to make Li Huai's heart move.

Seeing that his expression was loose, Lu Ding continued: "Wei Zhao has gained a reputation among the students all over the world. Countless people respect him and have high hopes for him. Rumors can make a person, but they can also destroy a person. The higher the reputation, The harder the fall, the harder it is to fall. Obviously, the matter in Huaizhong may not come to fruition in a short period of time. How long can the salt circulating on the market and the salt hoarded by the government last? By then, Wei Zhao will bear the pressure of the people all over the world. Will the Chu family of Ningzhou sit back and ignore it? Knowing that the Xiwan Salt Field is second only to the Huaizhong Salt Field, will they have less salt?"

Speaking of which, Wei Zhao was praised a few days ago, and Lu Xiangye's handwriting was among them.He just wanted to praise Wei Zhao highly, but he didn't expect to encounter the incident in Huaizhong, wouldn't this be a good opportunity to severely pull Wei Zhao down.

Even if he can recover the hijacked salt cart, once he gets caught in the chaos in Huaizhong, can he get out without any smell?The Xie family probably wouldn't agree either.

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, and the matter was settled.

Xie Hong was in a daze when he was told that the case would be investigated by Wei Zhao.Speaking of which, he actually didn't want to confront the Marquis of Shangzhen at this time.But think about it, Empress Wei has a son, no matter what, the Xie family will face each other sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Xie Hong began to think about how to trick Wei Zhao.Although he handled several major cases and brought down Lu Zhan, Xie Hong really didn't take him seriously, he was just a fledgling kid.In Shengjing City, he was surrounded by his grandmother, father, brother, sister, and little lover, so no one dared to seek ill luck for him.But when he arrived in Huaizhong, everything was decided by his Xie family.

Xie Hong accepted the arrangement calmly, and walked out of the palace at a leisurely pace.

And Wei Zhao, who was eating roasted sweet potatoes at home, was shocked and hit by the sky, and felt that the sweet potatoes in his hand were not fragrant.

Speaking of aftershocks entering Beijing, he is also one of the insiders.And he originally wanted to see a joke, but he didn't want to see it as a joke, and he caused a commotion for himself.But again, I am very excited to be able to travel at public expense.

He squinted to see Shen Yuan's face was dark, and the smile that had just appeared was suppressed, and he sighed and said: "Man, it's tiring to be too talented, and you have to shoulder such a heavy burden at a young age."

Shen Yuan, who came to inform him, couldn't help but move his ankles, and really wanted to kick him.

God knows that when the imperial decree came to Dali Temple, he was so scared that he almost fell off his chair.He just wanted to be a minister of Dali Temple and handle cases well, and he didn't want to get involved in those noble fights at all.But the master who was airborne is a dishonest master.

Shen Yuan was going to die of sorrow.

Although Wei Zhao came from a noble background, he was his superior after all, and he would be responsible for anything that happened.He felt that with Wei Zhao as a lowly official, he would have a long life!

"You are on a business trip this time to handle a major case. According to the regulations, you can choose a Sizhi from the Dali Temple Yamen to follow. I appointed Han Sizhi for you. What do you think?"

After Shen Yuan said this, his face was pained, Han Sizhi, he is very optimistic about the promising young man, I really can't bear to let him get involved.

Wei Zhao said happily, "Master Shen is really kind to me."

Shen Yuan pointed at his nose and hummed: "When you get to Huaizhong, be honest and don't worry about it. If the forces behind it are too involved, remember to accept it as soon as you see it. If you find the hijacked salt truck, you'll be fine." It's half done."

Wei Zhao agreed without hesitation, and at the same time ordered Xiao Lou to pack his luggage for him.This trip was urgent, and he had to hurry, otherwise, when he arrived in Huaizhong, the day lily would be cold.

Seeing him so active, Shen Yuan's heart ached even more.

Mrs. Wei didn't say much when she heard that Wei Zhao was going to Huaizhong. The imperial decree was sent directly to Dali Temple. Since Wei Zhao was an official in the court, he had to do his duty.

When Wei Zhao bid farewell to the old matriarch, the old matriarch told him: "When you arrive in Huaizhong, just handle the case. As for the filth and filth of the nobles in Huaizhong, you can avoid it if you can. If you can't avoid it, you don't have to wrong yourself. The Chu family, none of them are vegetarians. You just remember, no matter what happens, you must save your own life. "

Wei Zhao lay on the old matriarch's lap and looked up at his grandmother. When he met her kind eyes, he suddenly felt reluctant to leave home.

"Grandmother, this case is urgent and the situation is serious. If my grandson does not do well, I'm afraid it will affect the family."

Mrs. Wei patted her grandson's head lovingly, and said in a warm voice, "Don't pay attention to what outsiders say, grandmother is there for everything. Li Huai dared to let you go to Huaizhong. What kind of idea did you have? Grandma is as clear as a mirror. Handle this case Well, your prestige will naturally rise. Even if you can’t do it well, there’s still grandma and your grandfather around, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Wei Zhao nodded fiercely: "Grandmother, your grandson is not in Beijing, you have to take good care of your body. Brother Cao, you know, you can ask him for anything. There is also Meng Meng from the Yanxing Hall in the east of the city. Third brother, I made an agreement with him that he will pay more attention to the Hou's mansion, and someone will give an early warning if there is any trouble. Big brother Cao and third brother Meng are inconvenient to enter and leave the mansion. Xiao Wu and fourth brother Jiang will come over if something happens. The second sister knows about them, and Yuan'er has seen them too."

Mrs. Wei listened carefully to Wei Zhao's babbling in her ear, and felt very warm in her heart. Unknowingly, her favorite little grandson had grown up.

"Okay, okay, grandma remembers it. Going out is no better than being at home. You want Wei Fang to protect you, and you can't leave an inch. This time is in a hurry again, you have to take good care of yourself." As he spoke, Wei Fang The old lady felt wronged for her little grandson.

He pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said: "You have never suffered since childhood, Huaizhong is so far away, grandma is really worried that you will not be able to eat or sleep well, and you will suffer a great crime on the way, my dear grandson. "

Wei Zhao hurriedly comforted him: "Grandmother, don't cry. I'm a son of the Wei family. A man should make a contribution. There's nothing to be afraid of being wronged. Dad and elder brother have been in border control for several years. They can suffer, and so can the grandson. "

Mrs. Wei said: "How can they compare with you. They have practiced since they were young. They have rough skin and thick flesh. It's nothing to suffer a little bit. It's not as fine as my Zhao'er. Think about it on the road. If you want to suffer, grandma will feel bad..."

The father and son of the Wei family who were far away at the border sneezed hard, feeling offended.

Wei Xuan sniffed, and Wei Li hurriedly asked nervously, "Could it be that the Major General caught cold?"

Wei Xuan waved his hand: "I'm in good health, don't worry. But speaking of it, the weather this autumn is also very strange. The past two days were sunny and clear, but the weather has suddenly changed in the past few days, with hailstorms. The wind in Shuobei It's hard, and the soldiers are afraid that they will suffer. Wei Li, order the army doctor to prepare enough medicinal materials to keep out the cold, and give each of the soldiers a bowl of ginger soup when they start cooking tonight. Being sick is not a big deal right now. Good thing."

Wei Li bowed and said yes.

Wei Xuan said again: "I don't know what's going on with Dad. I heard that a small army appeared outside Shuozhou City not long ago. The war has been stalemate for more than three years. Beiyan can't sit still."

Wei Li thought about it, and said, "Although Wanyanzhe is treacherous, he will not let Beidi sneak in. This is not the time to start a war. The autumn harvest is just over, and Beiyan probably wants to fight Caogu."

In the past few years, there have been battles in Shuobei every year, so Wei Xuan no longer struggled with it.

It's just that Wei Ru, who is guarding Shuozhou, is not at peace.

He received a scout tip: Beidi Khan died suddenly.
