Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Wei Yu's private seal was clearly stamped on that land deed.

There are also his documents for transferring silver from the Ministry of Households, and the recent accounts of Baigong Academy. The documents and accounts are signed by Xiao Zirui.

"Impossible!" Xiao Zirui was much more excited than Wei Yu, "Brother Shuyun can't steal money!"

Doctor Yu Shi sneered: "Xiao Sizheng is in danger of protecting himself, and he still has the strength to excuse others, what a deep friendship between colleagues!"

"Love your uncle!"

Li Xi was so angry that he swears: "Old man Xu, what are you worried about? What good will murdering Wei Yu do to you? The loss of an upright official in the court will make room for incompetent people like you, right? ?”

"You, you, you—disgraceful!"

Doctor Yu Shi was over sixty years old, and he could only swear for most of his life. It was the first time that a 16-year-old boy pointed his nose and scolded him, and he suddenly became anxious.

"What's the purpose of King Fu? Could it be that he wants to cover up this shameless person who is corrupt and perverts the law?"

"Mr. Xu said carefully, whether Wei Shaoqing was greedy for money from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Criminal Justice judged it, and the sage ruled above. At this time, it is too early to say that corrupt law is corrupt." Cui Yuanlang said.

"I knew you didn't have the same heart with Yu Shitai." Doctor Yu Shi snorted coldly, held his hand and said, "To the saint, I have not only physical evidence, but also personal evidence. Can I bring you here?"

Li Hong didn't react too much from the beginning to the end, he just said in a deep voice: "Xuan."

There were four people who came, one Yatou from the dental shop, two staff from the dental shop, and a person who looked like a merchant.

Under the direction of the doctor censor, the four of them identified Wei Yu one after another, when he went to the dental shop, when he looked at the fields, when he signed the contract, and how he paid the money.

Li Xi laughed angrily, "Okay, I did my homework quite well, brother Shan Jianshu Yun said when he was out running."

"Do you know, who is he running around for these days? If he is like these officials who sit on the table and eat tea every day, drinking tea and beating farts in the yamen, wouldn't there be no room for you?"

The four "witnesses" shrank their necks, not daring to breathe.

Away from the crowd, Wei Yu shook his head at Li Xi, telling him not to be angry.

In exchange for Li Xi's stare, after staring at him, he snatched the so-called "evidence" and let Xiao Zirui see it.

"Is it really your signature? Look carefully, could someone else imitate your handwriting?"

"It was indeed signed by me..."

Xiao Zirui's gaze paused, and he suddenly said: "No, the documents and the land deed must be fake. The private seal of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has been kept in the temple, and it needs the permission of the temple secretary to use it. How can it be used to buy houses and land?"

Doctor Yushi said: "Didn't Zheng Siqing come back yesterday? This land deed was signed just before the market closed. I also wonder why Wei Shaoqing is so eager?"

Xiao Zirui suddenly looked at Zheng Quan, Minister of Dali Temple, "Secretary, please say something... You know, Shu Yun is not this kind of person!"

Zheng Quan lowered his head at first, but when he was pointed out, he straightened his sleeves, held his hand and said, "Since the matter involves Dali Temple, I should avoid it, and the matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment."

Li Hong looked at him, and said slowly: "Zheng Qing, if I remember correctly, Wei Yu is your student, right? At the beginning, it was also your book that transferred him from Jingzhao Mansion to Dali Temple."

Zheng Quan was startled, bowed his head and said, "A sage has a good memory."

"I still remember that you wrote in the brochure 'Wei Yu, young and intelligent, honest and upright, is really the pillar of the country', now, do you think you were wrong?"

These words were obviously asking Zheng Quan, but they were actually asking himself.It was not Wei Yu who made him look away, but people like Dr. Xu and Zheng Quan who forgot their original intentions for their own self-interest.

They were originally the common clan that he worked hard to promote.

Zheng Quan closed his eyes and replied: "I have the same opinion as Cui Zhongcheng. Whether Wei Yu is corrupt and perverted the law is still uncertain. It needs to be ruled by the Ministry of Punishment. I dare not speak nonsense."

Li Hong twitched his lips, "Then follow Zheng Qing's order and let the Ministry of Criminal Investigation investigate! Jin Wuwei, take Wei Yu, the young minister of Dali Temple, to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to wait—"

"No! No!"

Li Xi interrupted him, and said anxiously: "You know, brother Shuyun can't be greedy for money to buy land. He has all the royal family's rewards in his hands. How much money do you want? Why take the risk of beheading?" Greed for the treasury? Do you really believe in such a stupid trick?"

"That's why we need to investigate." Li Hong waved his hand, "Take it away."

"I see who dares!"

Li Xi pulled out the Lulu Sword with a swish, and pointed at the Jinwu Guard, "This sword was left to me by my grandfather. I can kill whoever I want. It's fine if I want to show my loyalty. Think about the parents at home, whether it's worth it!"

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!"

Doctor Yu Shi stomped his feet angrily, "Li Siqing, is King Fu so unscrupulous, can Zongzheng Temple just watch?"

The King of Weinan County cleared his throat, but did not speak.

He also felt that Wei Yu should not be arrested, anyone with eyes could see there was a conspiracy.He didn't have a sword in his hand, if he had one, he would probably block it.

Doctor Yushi was so angry that he fainted.

In the end, it was Wei Yu who persuaded Li Xi: "Don't worry, Chong Chong, let them investigate. A sage will not allow some people to turn black and white, and neither will you, will you?"

Since the mastermind behind the scenes chose such a despicable method, most likely they didn't think about what to do with him, but just wanted to ruin his reputation.

That being the case, he had to use the cleanest way to clear his name, instead of using Li Xi's power to fool him.

Otherwise, you will really fall into the other party's trap.

Li Xi's eyes were red, and he was extremely fierce, "If you dare to lie to me again, you will never want to be Princess Fu in this life."

Wei Yu wiped away the little tears from the corners of his eyes, "Well, if I lie to you again, I will be fined never to marry Jin Chongchong."

"It's marriage!"

"Ah."

Manchu civil and military: "..."

Can there be a time when you don't show affection?

Li Xi made a compromise and also made two demands.

First, Wei Yu is not allowed to be imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment. If he wants to be imprisoned, he must be imprisoned in Dali Temple, otherwise he should not be imprisoned.

Second, the Jinwu Guard cannot be in charge. If you have the Feilong Guard, you have to choose the candidate, otherwise don't close it.

The powerful faction naturally disagreed.

Li Xi held up the Lulu Sword, "If you don't agree, then I'll take him back to Prince Fu's Mansion."

Doctor Yu Shi supported the pillar, his anger was like a thread, "Saint, can't you just take care of him?"

Li Hong was serious and shameless, "I can control it, can he grow up like this?"

Doctor Yu Shi... died.

Li Xi won.

Wei Yu took off his official robe and hat, and was taken away by Feilongwei.When passing by Zheng Quan, he turned his head and looked over, and scenes of the past emerged in front of his eyes.

At that time, he had just escaped from Lieshan and was living in Pingkangfang. By chance, he got acquainted with the Chai brothers and sisters and was brought into the Zheng clan study by them.

The first teacher I met was Zheng Quan.

Zheng Quan was born in a side branch of the Zheng family, and he was far away from the direct line. At most, he was considered a small commoner family. The family had a small property, but it was not enough to support the cost of the imperial examination, so he found a job in ethnology.

errand.

He takes good care of Wei Yu, not only in study, but also in life.

Wei Yu regards him as a teacher and a father.

When he became an official, he always followed his example.

Loyalty and honesty, caring for the common people, being upright - these are what Zheng Quan taught him from time to time.

Today, Zheng Quan didn't dare to turn his head to look at him, and didn't even dare to meet his eyes.

When facing Li Xi, Wei Yu tried his best to relax and let him feel at ease. When he left the hall, the pain in his heart flowed out drop by drop.

He didn't expect it.

He didn't think of anything.

The one who will give him the final blow will be his dearest and most respected teacher.

The common people did not expect that Wei Shaoqing, who was praised by literati writing poems a moment ago, would be stripped of his official robes and caps the next moment, and taken to the prison of Dali Temple.

——These words were naturally spread by the powerful faction.

The rumors were fabricated to the best of their abilities, and they were well-founded and well-founded, even overturning Wei Yu's previous achievements, and describing him as a big villain who is putting on airs, climbing dragons and phoenixes, and using power for personal gain.

Someone really believed it!

Li Xi was pestering Li Hong in the Tai Chi Hall to ask him to arrest the doctor Yushi to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, when he saw Fig running over panting to report.

"Yes, someone is causing trouble in Baigong Academy, threatening to tear down the school and reveal Wei Shaoqing's true colors!"

Li Xi got up quickly and rushed to the school without stopping.

He wanted to keep Wei Yu's hard work.

Wei Yu didn't allow anyone to destroy the venue that Wei Yu worked so hard to set up!

As soon as I got to the door, I heard a clear female voice——

"At any rate, all of you have studied and practiced etiquette. How come you don't understand the principle of 'three people become a tiger'? You keep saying that Wei Shaoqing was greedy for money and did evil, so you can see the official documents of the Ministry of Punishment? Is there someone from the Jingzhao Mansion? Mansion newspaper? Can you hear the sage's decree?"

"Nothing, just relying on a few hearsay, he threatened to tear down the Jingzhao Academy supervised by the government. Thanks to you, you still call yourself a scholar!"

It was Wei Qingqing who spoke.

She was cautious and not so confident in the past, but today, in order to protect her brother, she bravely faced hundreds of students who were filled with anger.

Behind her, there are Xiao Sanlang, He Lanpu, Dou Ji, Li Mujin, Chai Lanlan, Cui Lanxin, Wang Rongrong, these young people who once fought side by side are now standing together again.

With the addition of Li Xi, everyone is complete.

"Let them tear it down!"

"Fei Longwei, see clearly, whoever demolished a few bricks, who smashed a few tables and chairs, write down all of them for me, don't wait until after autumn, the young master will go to his house to settle accounts with his old lady !"

Some people were not convinced: "Do you think we dare not?"

"Of course you dare, why don't you dare? You even dare to pull banners and scold the queen!"

Li Xi smiled slightly, "Oh, by the way, I heard that some people went to Old Man Dou's house to see it. How about it? Does his ancestral hall look good?"

Students: "..."

Heartbroken.

This is to remind them of the mindless things they were instigated to do last time, as well as the tragic end of Dou Qu, the former Minister of Rites.

Li Xi gave a blow to the head, and Xiao Sanlang stood up and handed out sweet dates: "Miss Wei is right, you all have read books and understand things, you really don't need to be so impulsive, just wait for the truth to come out, if Wei Shaoqing is as the outside said In that case, the sage will make his own judgment."

Chai Lanlan continued: "Still, you don't believe in saints, do not believe in court laws, but only in rumors?"

The students looked up, feeling overwhelmed.

These people standing on the stage are as young and immature as they are, but they can be so calm and talk so eloquently, but they can only be incited by others and act only on the impulse of passion.

The difference between them is not just their origin.

No one took the lead, and the students held their hands on the stage at the same time, and left silently.

Today's lesson is better than ten years of reading.

Dali Temple.

A glamorous woman, wearing a cloak and a curtain, carried the goldfish bag of Dali Temple Minister Zheng Quan, and went all the way to Wei Yu's cell without hindrance.

Said to be a cell, it is more like a small courtyard with a single family. There are three rooms in the east, west, north, south, and each. They are specially used to detain suspects who receive special care like Wei Yu.

Wei Yu was sitting cross-legged, playing chess.

On both sides of the chessboard are placed a small white porcelain figure, the slender one holding the white piece, and the fat and smiling one holding the black piece. From the beginning to the end, the black piece has the upper hand.

It can be seen how eccentric Wei Shaoqing is.

Someone opened the door and came in, but Wei Yu didn't lift his head, just looked at the chessboard intently.

Liang Wan closed the door, took off her cloak, and bowed lightly, "Wei Shaoqing is very elegant."

Only then did Wei Yu raise his hand and made a "please" gesture, "I didn't expect you to come."

Liang Wan sat down gracefully, lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly, "To tell you the truth, Wei Shaoqing, it wasn't me in the first place, but that person didn't want to come, so I had to be replaced."

Wei Yu put down a sunspot, "Is it worth betting two coins for me?"

"With Wei Shaoqing as a note, it's certainly worth it." Liang Wan took out a jug of wine and two dishes of side dishes from the food box, "What's more, I've been exposed long ago, haven't I?"

Wei Yu pinched the chess piece, his fingertips turned white, "Liang Wan, I consider you my friend."

The "friend in need" he called was Liang Wan.

Back then, when he first arrived in Pingkangfang, Liang Wan was the first one who extended a helping hand to him, and it was Liang Wan who helped him gain a foothold in Huajie. It was also Liang Wan who saved her own meals and gave them to him during the days when he didn't have enough meals.

Later, when he became an official and became capable, he in turn preserved Liang Wan's innocence, drove away the unscrupulous madam, and helped her take charge of Yuyin Pavilion.

This friendship cannot be explained simply by "giving back".

Liang Wan lowered her eyes, her voice choked slightly: "I am not worthy."

Wei Yu hugged the chubby ceramic figure, stroked the eyebrows and eyes similar to Li Xi, and quickly calmed down.

"What are you here to tell me?"

"This time, admit it, you won't lose your official position, and you won't suffer any real losses. You just give up the school and don't meddle in the scientific examination."

Liang Wan paused and said, "Even if you don't believe me, please trust Zheng Siqing. The only condition he agreed to join forces with the people behind me is to keep your official position."

Wei Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Isn't it for the sake of Junior Brother?"

Liang Wan paused, "That's the premise."

The people behind the scenes have already set up this trick, just waiting for this day to close the net.In order to save his son, Zheng Quan agreed to stand on the other side's camp, and the name certificate was Wei Yu.

Except for him, no one can get Wei Yu's private seal.

Zheng Quan's condition is to keep Wei Yu.

The other party agreed.

Can Zheng Quan be said to be a bad guy?

There is no good or bad in power struggles, only camps and means.

I understand the truth, but I still can't convince my heart.

People's hearts are made of flesh, they are not framed by reason.

"I see, please go back." Wei Yu continued to play chess, not wanting to reveal his true emotions in front of people who were no longer his own.

Liang Wan bit her lip, unable to hide her anxiety: "Wei Shaoqing, do you really think that you alone can defeat the powerful? Do you know how long they buried this line?"

Wei Yu keenly heard her subtext, "What thread?"

Liang Wan knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, grabbed the curtain fence, got up and wanted to leave, "It's getting late, you should think about it, I'll come back tomorrow—"

"The person behind you is Princess Jinyang, right?" Wei Yu said calmly, "Even if you don't tell me, I can still find out, or let the sage or King Fu check."

"Xiao Yuzi!" Liang Wan panicked and couldn't help calling out her childhood nickname.

Both were startled.

Wei Yu raised his eyes and met her flustered gaze, "If you still remember the little Yuzi back then, speak clearly today."

Liang Wan struggled for a long while, and finally said it out.

It turned out that this was a bureau.

It has been from the beginning.

Before Liang Wan entered the Yuyin Pavilion, she was already the eldest princess of Jinyang. Her love for Wei Yu was purely out of kindness at first, but when Wei Yu gradually showed his talent, someone stepped in later.

Including the "encounter" between Wei Yu and Chai Yang's brothers and sisters, it was also manipulated by Princess Jinyang.

Later, he entered Zheng Clan Studies and got acquainted with Zheng Quan, and the handwriting of Princess Jinyang was also indispensable.

From the very beginning, she planned to train Wei Yu into a pawn.

It wasn't until Li Xi lost his way suddenly and the Queen Mother intervened that Princess Jinyang didn't dare to act rashly.

"Brother Shen, do you know?" Wei Yu trembled faintly with his hands hidden in his sleeves.

"I don't know... I think, like me, they didn't know anything at first, but even if they knew later, the game was already settled. They dare not, and can't talk to you again."

Liang Wan sighed softly: "We are all in the game, none of us can escape."

What a player...

His friendship, kindness, and teacher-student relationship are nothing but a well-planned chess game in the end...

Wei Yu held the chess piece, surprisingly calm.

I can't say what it feels like, as if... it should be so.

Nothing was rightfully his.

Loss, disappointment, is normal for him.

Over the years, I have gotten used to it.

Liang Wan left without knowing when, the door of the cell opened and closed again, no one knew who came in.

There is a familiar smell, a familiar voice, and a familiar high-spirited tone: "What did I say, I am the only one who loves you the most in the whole world, Chai Yang can't do it, and neither can the idiot second brother-in-law, what are your brothers and mentors?" Yes, neither!"

Wei Yu buried his face on the side of his neck, sniffing greedily the sweet and soft breath on his body.

As it should be.

Although always disappointed.

Although the road he traveled was too dark, too long, and too bumpy.

But there is light.

Just this little light is enough.
