Sir, I can do it!
Chapter 69
Although there is grandson Ke in Nanfu, Wei Xuan will not be short of clothes or food.But Qin Wu was worried that her husband was not doing well, so she packed up some commonly used things, made some cakes that could last, and entrusted Weizhao to send them to Nanfu.
When I went out, I ran into Wei Ru coming back from Xia Dynasty.Wei Zhao then asked about the imperial decree.
Wei Ru said: "You also know that the emperor reformed the system of selecting scholars through the Great Examination and recruited many children of common people, thus weakening the power of the old aristocracy, and the Weinan aristocracy suffered heavy losses. The emperor acted too hastily this time, and the old aristocrats are already dissatisfied. Several princes entered official positions, including the Lu family, the Feng family, and the Han family. It was just to appease the old nobles. Someone brought up the Meiyuan case and praised you in front of the emperor, and the emperor gave it to you A post of prime minister, so that you can investigate cases in a legitimate way."
"The emperor is not afraid of my favoritism?"
Wei Ru sneered: "Hong Kun is still alive and well, the emperor wishes for you to be 'selfish'."
Wei Zhao scratched his head with the fan handle: "Then I'm afraid the emperor won't get what he wants."
In the past, Li Huai would be afraid of Hong Kun, but now Li Huai is no longer the unfounded prince.He had pretended in front of Hong Kun for so many years, and he had already figured out who Hong Kun was.He has the ability to collect Hong Kun's criminal evidence, and naturally has the ability to bring down Hong Kun, but he has to pay some price.
He borrowed the hand of the Marquis of Zhen Guo, naturally he wanted to see the two houses fight each other, so that he could reap the benefits.Even if Zhen Guohou's Mansion failed to do what he wished, he would use his own method to eradicate Hong Kun and obtain absolute control over Bei Mansion.
Li Huai has his own worries, Zhen Guohou has his own weaknesses, and Hong Kun also has his difficulties.Everyone can't help themselves in their positions, but Wei Zhao doesn't.
So he wanted to take advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to slowly gather Hong Kun's power.In this way, even if Hong Kun fell, the Zhen Guohou's mansion would bear the brunt and become Li Huai's target.But if he wants to move the Hou Mansion, he has to weigh whether he can bear the consequences.
"To see your elder brother?" Wei Ru's eyes fell on the cage in Huo Bao'er's hand.
Wei Zhao was brought back to his thoughts, and nodded: "Since the imperial decree has arrived, I'd better report to Dali Temple as soon as possible, so that I can take over the elder brother's case as soon as possible."
"It should be like this, and it will change later. I have a new military book in my room. You should bring it to your elder brother. Even if you are in prison, you should not relax."
Nanfu is in the same direction as Dali Temple, Wei Zhao plans to report to Dali Temple first, get his official uniform and documents, and then go to Nanfu to see Wei Xuan.He thought that he was the first one to take office, but he turned out of the street and saw Han Chongliang galloping past on his horse.
Wei Zhao hurriedly retracted his head, still feeling a gust of wind rushing past his scalp.
Fortunately, he dodged quickly, otherwise his big head would be cut off by the whirlwind brought by that silly boy.
Wei Zhao opened the curtain and poked his head and cursed loudly: "Damn Ah Liang, rush to reincarnate!"
Han Chongliang vaguely heard someone scolding him, it was an all-too-familiar voice, and he reined in his horse quickly.The horse kicked a few times and snorted.He looked back and saw that the little head protruding from the carriage was not Wei Zhao.
He drove his horse forward and asked with a smile, "Azhao is dressed so neatly, why are you going?"
Wei Zhao glared at him fiercely: "Fortunately, this area is an official office, and there are few pedestrians. Otherwise, if you run wild like you just now, you will inevitably knock over a few people. You just wait for Yushitai to kill you."
Han Chongliang's face turned pale, and he slapped himself on the forehead: "Look at me, I'm really overwhelmed. Now I'm also an official of the imperial court, so I can no longer swagger around like this unscrupulously."
Wei Zhao rubbed his nose: "What is there for you in the palace?"
Han Chongliang straightened his chest: "Xuanwei riding captain, although he is a nominal one, but the emperor allowed me to go to Dongdaying for training."
He shook his eyebrows excitedly: "Although Dongdaying is the guard of the capital, I am very happy to be able to enter the barracks. It is better than coming to the martial arts arena in my own backyard. The emperor is willing to use me, as long as I perform well, In the future, I must have the opportunity to go to the battlefield. When I become famous and named a general, I must invite Ah Zhao to Yunlou to have a feast!"
Han Chongliang waved his hand, very generous.
Wei Zhao curled his lips: "I want to run even if I don't know how to leave. Let's be realistic, A Liang, you think the general is a Chinese cabbage."
Han Chongliang bared his teeth and smiled: "Anyway, I want to be a general, who cares when he can achieve it. By the way, where are you going?"
Wei Zhao straightened his collar, and said with a serious face: "Dali Temple. This official is the new Tui Cheng of Dali Temple."
Han Chongliang laughed loudly: "I mean, you have always been unhurried. Just now when I passed by, I caught a glimpse of the carriage running happily. It turns out that Ah Zhao is also in a hurry to take office!"
Wei Zhao rolled his eyes: "Each to each other."
"Oh, then I have to call you Master Wei."
Wei Zhao cupped his hands at him without sincerity: "Young Captain Han is polite."
Han Chongliang waved his hand: "Come on, I won't quarrel with you anymore, I'm in a hurry to report to the barracks."
Wei Zhao waved his hand: "See you later."
Before the decree, Wei Zhao did not encounter any obstacles in going through the entry procedures, and he was considered a member of Dali Temple after receiving the documents.After coming out of Dali Temple, I turned to Nanfu again.
According to Changsun Ke, Wei Shizi's murder case involved the Zhen Guohou's Mansion and the Zhou family. The circumstances were serious and could not be treated like ordinary criminals.In the name of strict supervision, Wei Xuan was actually taken out of the prison and moved to a room in the backyard of the yamen.Although he was imprisoned for only one night, Wei Zhao still noticed that his elder brother's complexion had improved a lot.
"Oh, I brought so many good things, but your sister-in-law loves me." Wei Xuan took the box and rummaged through it, his face beaming with joy.
"Everything in Nanfu is good, but the food is not good. Today, the rice is raw, so I really want to eat big white steamed buns. Unexpectedly, Nanfu doesn't provide white steamed buns, and I don't know who made the rules."
Wei Xuan rambled on, without the slightest sense of going to jail.
Wei Zhao rolled his eyes, in vain for his sister-in-law to feel lonely at home; in vain for his father to worry that his elder brother would not be able to bear the blow; in vain for him to leave in a hurry and immediately think about getting his elder brother out quickly... well, it was all in vain.
"Brother, who were the masters who ate wine with you in Fan Lou that day?"
With an osmanthus cake in her mouth, Wei Xuan whined, "Lin Zhan, Lu Da, Cheng Shixun."
These three people are from a family of military generals, and they are good friends with Wei Xuan on weekdays, and Wei Zhao has also met several times.Fan Lou had a drink, Wei Xuan and the others were in Dongliu, Zhou Yan was in Dongwu, the sound insulation of the rooms was not good, what happened in Dongwu, the people in Dongliu should have heard something.
"Brother, before you went to take a break, didn't you hear anything wrong with Dongwu?"
Wei Xuan wiped his mouth, thought carefully, and said, "There are people in the private rooms on the left and right, and they just order food and drinks. There seems to be no special movement you want to say. By the way, Ah Zhao, Zhou The family didn't make things difficult for your sister-in-law, did they?"
Wei Zhao sighed: "After all, Miss Zhou's concubine is gone, and she died of humiliation. No matter how good-tempered the Zhou family is, they must say some exaggerated things."
Originally, he wanted to bring Wei Zhao and Zhou Yan together. On that day, Mrs. Wei refused the Zhou family's marriage at the birthday banquet. Mrs. Zhou's face was naturally pissed, and Zhou Yan's tragic death happened again.Wei Zhao was not at the mansion at the time, but seeing Lu'er's expression turned pale, he knew how bad Madam Zhou said.
"The Zhou family is a victim. It's understandable to say a few words, but I was the one who committed the crime, so I asked your sister-in-law to suffer for me..."
"Okay, brother, this is not the time to talk about these things. Let me ask you again, do you remember who was the guy who helped you into East Five after you were drunk?"
"I don't know the name, but I vaguely remember that little fellow is fat and puffy, with a red mole on his eyebrow."
"Then do you remember, is it Dong Wu that you said yourself, or Dong Wu that the boy took you there on purpose?"
Wei Xuan was also confused about this. He thought hard and said, "I probably hesitated for a while at the door of the two private rooms. Hearing the noise in the two private rooms, I couldn't tell them apart. Although I was conscious at the time, , but my body was a little out of control. I kind of forgot what the boy said, anyway, I pushed the door of Dong Wu at that time, and then I saw Zhou Yan, and then I didn’t know anything. "
"Wait!" Wei Zhao said suddenly, "Are you sure you heard the noise from the two private rooms outside the door?"
Wei Xuan nodded: "Otherwise, I wouldn't hesitate."
"You only saw Zhou Yan when you entered East Fifth?"
Wei Xuan nodded again, then thought of something, and suddenly stopped, her face suddenly turned pale.
"how is this possible……"
If Wei Xuan heard correctly, it means that when he was at the door of the private room, there were many people talking in the private room of East No. [-], but when he opened the private room, only Zhou Yan could be seen.This is where the problem lies.
Wei Xuan scratched her head: "Maybe I was drunk and misheard?"
Wei Zhao pondered: "I'll go to Fanlou to have a look. Brother, think about it too, maybe there's something I've missed."
"Brother knows. Ah Zhao, I will trouble you with this matter."
"My brother said that there is nothing. Besides, I am also the Tuicheng of Dali Temple now, and I have been ordered to investigate the murder case of Wei Shizi Fanlou. This is all my duty."
Wei Xuan nodded in relief: "Azhao is promising!" He turned around and rummaged on the table, carefully took a sympathetic knot and handed it to Wei Zhao: "Help me take it back and give it to your sister-in-law, and tell her not to worry about it. It’s good in Nanfu.”
Wei Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth: "Brother, where did you get the concentric knot?"
Wei Xuan scratched her head and smiled: "Your sister-in-law asked me to buy some thread for her when I went home. I saw a silk shop on Xishui Street, so I bought some thread. I didn't know that I couldn't go home yesterday. Left and right are in prison. It’s okay, just make up one.”
Wei Zhao looked at it carefully, and was amazed: "I didn't expect you to have a good handicraft, brother."
Wei Xuan blushed, "It's your sister-in-law who taught me well."
Wei Zhao rolled his eyes, his eldest brother is good at everything, but he is afraid of his wife.
Every time he mentioned this, Wei Xuan said righteously: "Daughter-in-law is for pain!"
Wei Zhao touched the red string tied around his wrist, and pouted.I wonder if I have to learn how to weave the same heart knot when I look back...
When I went out, I ran into Wei Ru coming back from Xia Dynasty.Wei Zhao then asked about the imperial decree.
Wei Ru said: "You also know that the emperor reformed the system of selecting scholars through the Great Examination and recruited many children of common people, thus weakening the power of the old aristocracy, and the Weinan aristocracy suffered heavy losses.
