Sir, I can do it!

It was only an hour after the public trial ended, and the affairs in the hall flew all over the city of Shengjing as if they had wings.Everyone said that the courtroom of the three princes of Zhen Guohou's mansion was amazing and brilliant in his defense, and the embarrassing Prince Beiyan felt ashamed after his generous speeches.The young ladies waiting to be married are looking forward to it, just waiting for the birthday of the old matriarch of the Zhen Guohou Mansion to stand out and win the favor of the third son of Wei.

The officials of Honglu Temple, who had been oppressed by the envoys of Beiyan these days, were even more grateful, and felt that the oppression in their chests was swept away, and they straightened their backs.

The Beiyan people, who used to flaunt their might, shrank their necks and trembled at this moment, fearing that they would be chased and intercepted by the people of Shengjing when they went to the street.After all, this matter is also their fault first.Especially when Young Master Wei became famous, the people of Qi country hated them so much.

Resentment was suffocated in his heart, and this anger naturally had to be vented on Wan Yanhong, the culprit.Especially this time the envoy was not doing well, all the officials on the envoy will be punished, and even Wan Yanzhen will not be able to escape.As soon as the envoys joined together, they signed a letter to make a statement before returning home, and the responsibility must always be shifted to Wan Yanhong.

Wu Ze was sitting naked on the bed, and the doctor was concentrating on cleaning his wound.

Regardless of the pain of the wound, he said bitterly: "It's just a little bit short, and so many brothers have been lost. Director Hong, what should we do, we can't let that kid lead us by the nose anymore."

Hong Kun handed the note to Wu Ze with a gloomy face: "Let's have a look."

Wu Ze took it with a frown, saw the contents of the note clearly, and jumped up from the soft bed angrily.The doctor was cleaning up the minced meat for him, he was startled, his hands shook, and he immediately cut off a piece of meat, Wu Ze gasped in pain.

Superintendent Hong shouted: "You can do it, or die!"

Wu Ze said angrily: "I have never seen such a shameless person! He is not afraid to stretch his waist even if he wants to use us as a sword."

Hong Kun sneered: "That's his skill, even the people in Yan Xing Tang can be manipulated."

Wu Ze sat on the couch with his head sullen, and it took him a long time to react, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Zhang Bing is Li Huai's man!"

After Zhang Bing was killed in prison, Wei Zhao became suspicious.It wasn't until Changsun Ke got back the results of the investigation about Zhang Bing that Wei Zhao dared to conclude that Li Huai was also involved in the Meiyuan case.

Sun Li, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is a member of Lu Ding, and even Li Huai's trusted minister.The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the system of selection of ranks and ranks, the method of exposing officials through examinations, the code of awarding rewards, and the method of finalizing the system of registration.Zhang Bing relied on Sun Li on his back, and later on he had Lu Xiangye as his back, so it is said that his career as an official is smooth.But for so many years, he has only been the prime minister of Honghe Temple, not because he is not valued, but because he has other uses in this position.

Although the four countries are constantly fighting openly and covertly, the status of Qi as a big country is as stable as Mount Tai. All countries pay tribute every year, and receiving envoys from various countries is also the main responsibility of Honglu Temple.If you want to move your hands and feet, it is naturally the most convenient.

And Zhang Bing worked for the Qi State, but he was able to participate in the Meiyuan case and conceal his identity well. Mei Yuchi identified him as a person from Nanliang, so the key person was Zhang Bing's murdered concubine Sun.

Mrs. Sun is the leader of the Meiyuan case. She wants to get close to the people of Honglu Temple if she wants to complete the plan of the Meiyuan case. Unfortunately, he chose Zhang Bing.But Zhang Bing did his tricks and successfully got involved.

Beiyan, Dongyue, and Nanliang all hope to provoke the Shuobei dispute and profit from it.At this time, the only one who doesn't want Shuobei to be chaotic is the Qi State.That's why Zhang Bing fell by mistake.

Wei Zhao and Han Chongliang have similar temperaments, and they are the most favorite among the four to join in the fun.Feng Yu is timid, and will only hide when things happen.Lu Chengyi was cautious and would not rush forward.So it was not difficult for Zhang Bing to take advantage of the chaos to push Dong Yu to Wei Zhao.

Of course, the person who can understand the characters of the four dudes well enough must also be someone who is very familiar with them.

And judging from the final result of the Meiyuan case, Wei Zhao was wronged, took this opportunity to plot against Hong Kun, and provoked a fight between the Beifu and the Zhenguohoufu. In the end, the biggest beneficiary was Li Huai.

However, Mei Yuchi took the risk of killing Sun, and it was obvious that Sun was an uncertain factor for him, especially the series of missteps caused by Dong Yu's sudden death in Mei Yuan Yajian, which made Mei Yuchi even more frightened.It's just that Zhang Bing and the Sun family are dead, so it's hard to go any further with Mei Yuchi's identity.

However, this did not prevent Wei Zhao from taking revenge.Since he already knew about the relationship between Zhang Bing and Sun Li, there was absolutely no reason why he would not have the opportunity to push it back, let alone have such a fierce knife like Hong Kun.

So he wrote a note and handed it over, asking Hong Kun to find a way to get rid of Sun Li.I don't know how many people are staring at the lack of officials. As long as Hong Kun makes a move, there must be many people who will secretly contribute to the flames.

For Lu Chengqian's death, the Lu family would definitely be responsible for him, so naturally he wouldn't mind cutting off the Lu family's arm at this time.

So Wei Zhao was very happy, and everyone in Zhen Guohou's mansion was also very happy because Wei Zhao was exonerated and his reputation spread far and wide.Li Huai issued an order to praise the third son of Wei, and rewarded a lot of gold, silver and silk, which made everyone even more happy.Even the old lady Wei went to the front yard to share the family relationship with her children and grandchildren for the first time.

She looked at Changsun Ke lovingly: "My Zhao'er was able to wash away my grievances, thanks to Mr. Changsun running around. I saved Zhao'er's life in Xiaoxishan, so I must remember such a great kindness."

Changsun Ke said respectfully: "The old lady doesn't need to be too polite when it comes to her duties."

"Your eldest grandson is able to rule the Nanfu at such a young age, he is truly a fearsome future generation." Mrs. Wei took Wei Zhao's hand, kindly and proudly: "My grandson has always been playful, and recently he likes to study medical books, and his temper He has become more and more calm, and he often praises the elder grandson in front of the old man, which shows that my grandson admires the elder. I hope the elder grandson will take care of him in the future."

Wei Xuan's scalp tightened when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "Grandmother, the eldest grandson is busy with work, and our Azhao is a restless temper, so don't tell Azhao to bother the eldest grandson."

Wei Ru also nodded slightly: "If Zhao'er likes to study medicine, I will leave old doctor Lin to teach Ah Zhao. Nanfu is the most important thing in my court. Don't ask the eldest grandson to distract the child."

Changsun Ke said lightly: "Your Majesty, you have worried too much. The third son is smart and has a bit of talent in medicine. Since you accepted the third son at the beginning, you can't give up halfway."

"That's right, Father, old doctor Lin and Master Changsun are not in the same way. I have studied for so long, and I have already entered the school. If I change to other gentlemen, it will be a mess. Grandma."

Old Madam Wei smiled and said: "That's right. Although you and Master Changsun don't have the status of mentors and apprentices, you always have the status of mentors and apprentices. If you learn other people's skills, you should treat them with respect as teachers."

Wei Zhao turned his head and raised his chin to Wei Ru and Wei Xuan: "Grandmother agrees."

Don't think that he doesn't know what they're up to, a candied fruit tricked Wei Yuan into what he knew. His elder brother didn't want him to have more contact with Changsun Ke, and asked his sister-in-law to find girls of the right age for him. Woolen cloth.But grandma likes Changsun Ke, and they can't find any flowers under the pressure of grandma.Wei Zhao was relieved.

Wei Xuan hit a soft nail and felt angry.

Wei Zhao was still bragging about his elder Sun Ke with the old lady of Wei. The family was talking and laughing, lively and lively, but some people who were not good-looking came to send bad luck.

Chen Jinghuai has a serious face, holding the Xuanwu order from the Beifu in his hand: "The Emperor has ordered that the case of the murder of the slaves in the Xiaoxishan Lu Mansion has been filed in the Beifu. From now on, we will temporarily suspend the position of the Crown Prince and leave it to Beijing to cooperate with the investigation." .”

Wei Shuhua exploded as soon as she heard it: "My eldest brother is also wronged in this case. The emperor listens to one side and believes in another, and he will dismiss eldest brother based on such a little evidence..."

"Shuhua, presumptuous!"

Wei Ru stared, Wei Shuhua didn't dare to make a sound anymore,

"Since it is the emperor's will, the Hou Mansion must obey it. But this case is strange and there are many doubts. It is inconvenient for the Hou Mansion to intervene, so I will trouble Chen Shaojian."

Chen Jinghuai cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your understanding. Prince Wei is only suspected in this case, and the emperor temporarily dismissed him from his position, but he did not restrict the movement of Prince Wei, as long as he does not leave the territory of Shengjing. If Lord Hou has no other orders, he will be dismissed as an official." Farewell."

Wei Ru nodded.

After Chen Jinghuai left, the dining room suddenly fell into silence.

Wei Zhao looked around and said with a smile: "Our family committed a villain this year, and the past few years have been very smooth. There are always some blind people who feel that life is too comfortable. If we don't beat and beat, we will really treat my Houfu as a bully." .”

Wei Ru's face turned pale: "It's not a big deal. Xuan'er has been troubled recently, so let's take this opportunity to rest."

Not to mention how aggrieved Wei Xuan felt, he sneered and said, "Beiyan Barbarian is gone, and that guy has really worked hard to deal with us."

Speaking of which, there is no conclusive evidence for Xiaoxishan's incident, and it is not worth mentioning to the Houfu just relying on speculation.However, the emperor ordered the Beifu to investigate the case, and temporarily dismissed Wei Xuan from his post, which was not aimed at the truth.Instead, Li Huai was angry.

Since the occurrence of the Meiyuan case, he has not achieved what he wanted. Instead, Wei Zhao has been alive and kicking, and his self-defense in court has become a good story, which is highly respected by the people.Hong Kun and the Marquis of Zhen Guo did not fight to the death as he wished, but the situation was calm, which made him even more anxious.

As soon as Beiyan's envoy left, the Lu family appealed, and Li Huai took advantage of the situation to set his sights on the Hou's mansion again, which could be described as impatient.

Wei Zhao was not in a good mood at first, but after getting the deed of the store in the west of the city, he became happy again and put his troubles aside for the time being.

After the public trial that day, Wei Zhao has been paying attention to the follow-up of the case.Beiyan was wronged first, so naturally Li Huai would not miss this opportunity to swindle him.It is not time to discuss the matter of the six states in Shuobei, so they took advantage of this to ask for gold, silver, grain, grass and horses.

Wanyanhong was then temporarily detained, waiting for Beiyan to redeem him with money.Of course, such unpleasant things as imprisoning Wan Yanhong also fell on Changsun Ke.After all, in Shengjing City, the Nanfu Prison is the most heavily guarded.

With a wave of his hand, Changsun Ke locked Wanyan Hong in the secret prison of the Nanfu Yamen, and specially arranged it next to Gu Jin, so that his master and servant could bond and bond.After obtaining the contract, Gu Jin was taken out of the secret prison and handed over to the person Wan Yanzhen left behind.

On the second day, Wei Zhao took Huo Baoer to inspect his shop in the west of the city on a sunny day.

There are two shops, one is on Qingshui Street, next to Moon Tower.One is on Taihua Street near Taixue.

"Bao'er, the Hall of Rejuvenation has been seized, so how about I use this shop to open a medicine shop?"

Huo Bao'er shook his head: "Young master, Huichuntang is a time-honored brand. Although it is closed down now, the case is handled by the manager. As long as their owner operates it, it will reopen just around the corner. The two pharmacies are so close to each other. Isn't this looking for trouble? "

Wei Zhao glanced at him: "Do you think the owner of Huichuntang can surpass Zhen Guohou's mansion?"

Huo Bao'er nuzzled: "That's not sure."

"Then what kind of shop do you want to open?"

"Candied fruit shop!" Huo Bao'er's eyes brightened: "Our Aunt Jiang is so good at crafting. She usually sets up a stall in Jinmen, so delicious candied fruit can't be sold at a high price. If it is in this shop, it will definitely change the packaging at that time. You can earn a pot full of gold leaf."

Rubbing his chin, Wei Zhao nodded in agreement: "That's it! Send someone over later to clean up."

Huo Baoer responded with a smile.

Wei Zhao wandered around here, saw that Ning Zhiyuan was setting up a stall in Huguo Temple to copy books again, so he went up to say hello.Wei Ru originally liked Ning Zhiyuan's character and knowledge, and wanted to keep him in the mansion as a guest to enlighten Wei Yuan. With the big tree of Hou Mansion, if he wants to enter the officialdom in the future, it will naturally go smoothly.But Ning Zhiyuan refused.

Everyone has their own aspirations, Wei Ru is not inconvenient to force others to make things difficult, but he also left a message, as long as he is willing, the Hou Mansion will always give him a future.

It's summer and the weather is getting hotter.Ning Zhiyuan's bookstall is under an old tree, which is quite shady.Chen Da sent him a bottle of clean water early in the morning, and then went to work at the west pier of the city.

Wei Zhao asked Ning Zhiyuan: "How is the young master of Master Chen?"

Ning Zhiyuan sighed slightly: "Actually, it wasn't a serious illness in the first place, it's just that it hasn't been treated well, and it's not good if it drags on until now. I saw that Da Chen was at a loss for the past two days, and I'm afraid that young master is really dying. "

Wei Zhao thought for a while, and said: "My family knows a doctor with good medical skills, and I mentioned it to Chen Da before, but it seems that he doesn't want to get involved with me too much, and I can't help even if I want to. He and Ning The young master has a good relationship, so why don't you get along with Mr. Ning, and I will pay for the medicine no matter how much it is."

Ning Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, and said: "I'm not close to him, it's just because of Wen Yu's matter that I have more contact with him. I have never met that young master of his family, but it is prudent to see Chen Daping's daily actions." I am afraid that there is something involved behind that young master."

Wei Zhao said: "It's always a life. He has taken care of that young master for many years with all his heart. He is a loyal person. He will never see his young master ruin his life in vain."

Ning Zhiyuan nodded: "I can only try my best to make peace on this matter. Whether it succeeds or not, I will leave a letter to the third son."

"Then, I won't bother Mr. Ning. In a few days, my elder sister will go to the Huguo Temple to pay respects to the Buddha. I'll make some arrangements first."

It's no secret that the queen goes to Huguo Temple every year. Wei Zhao said goodbye to Ning Zhiyuan and went straight to Huguo Temple.

"...Look, young master, that great monk is eating wine!"

Huo Baoer raised his hand and pointed, and Wei Zhao saw the monk eating meat and drinking in the restaurant at a glance.The dazzling sunlight shone on the monk's bald head so shiny that he couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

"The Great Monk is so insane, he actually violated the precepts under the eyes of the Buddha." The old matriarch Wei also worshiped the Buddha on a regular basis. In the past few years, Wei Zhao often accompanied the old matriarch to Huguo Temple.Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Huo Bao'er actually began to believe in Buddhism devoutly. Now that he saw this monk, he naturally felt sorry for the Buddha.

Wei Zhao looked at the monk for a while, then said with a smile, "A man of absolute learning and inaction, does not get rid of delusions and does not seek the truth."

The monk seemed to have heard what Wei Zhao said, and finally lifted his head from the wine and meat, smiled faintly at Wei Zhao, wiped the oil on his lips, turned around and entered the Huguo Temple.

Huo Bao'er was still angry: "It's too arrogant!"

Wei Zhao felt that the monk was quite interesting, so he also entered the Huguo Temple. Every year, there is a special master to receive the queen, and Wei Zhao has long been familiar with this matter.

"Little master Wuming, can you see the monk who just entered the temple? He is tall and big, in his early thirties."

Wuming replied with a smile: "That's senior brother Wuji, a disciple of Master Liaochen, who has traveled abroad for many years and returned today."

"So that's how it is." Wei Zhao knew that there was Master Chen in Huguo Temple, but he had always been in seclusion and ignored the affairs of the temple. He had never met, let alone learned about Master Chen's disciples.

At this time, the monk Wuji who was eating wine was kneeling on the futon, talking with Abbot Qingran and Master Liaochen about what he had seen on the road.

It was almost time, so Liaochen told him to go back to the meditation room to rest, watching the back of his disciple leaving, he couldn't help but sighed worriedly.

"Piansheng came back at this time."

Liao Ran also sighed: "Wuji's wisdom root is extremely high, but it's a pity... If you commit a confidante, you will be doomed."
