Chapter 856 Can't beat it
"Mr. Wen!"
When Wei Wenjun returned to the Prince's Mansion, many diners naturally came to welcome him.
And Wei Wenjun couldn't see any happiness on his face, his face was always so calm, and he greeted these people with a smile, "It really shouldn't make you worry."
Everyone originally wanted to ask some specific information, but seeing that Wei Wenjun was not very willing to talk, they left without asking any more questions.
And Qianhe Xiaozhu just grabbed Wei Wenjun's hand and refused to let go.
Liu Qian said seriously: "Mr. Wen, in order to save you, our two brothers went bankrupt!"
"That's right! That's right! He was beaten for three days by the elder father!!"
The two immediately told Wei Wenjun the glorious deeds of leading their classmates to rob the prison. Wei Wenjun burst out laughing and rubbed the heads of the two of them, "You two, don't you think it's a dozen or so children? Can the baby break into the prison of the Ministry of Justice to save people? Fortunately, Yu Shigong stopped it in time, otherwise it would not be as simple as being unable to get up for three days!"
Liu Qian didn't care about this, he said seriously: "The important thing is not this, the important thing is our idea of saving you, we have tried our best to save you, how can you laugh at us?"
The little pig immediately echoed: "Can we deny our feat just because we didn't succeed? We paid the price to save you, and you still mock us without thanking us. What's the reason for that?"
Wei Wenjun hurriedly became serious, and saluted the two of them, "It's my fault, I should thank you."
Seeing Wei Wenjun bowed his head, Liu Qian and Xiaozhu just laughed proudly, Liu Qian said loudly: "It's okay, it's good to know that we are kind to you, so it's my homework from now on."
Xiaozhu hastily tugged at Liu Qian and patted his sleeves.
Liu Qian suddenly realized, and hurriedly changed his words: "We both spent money to save you, and you have to make up for it!"
Before Wei Wenjun opened his mouth, someone asked lazily: "Didn't you get caught halfway? Why do you still say that you went bankrupt?"
Wei Wenjun turned around in a hurry, and it was Princess Liu Ye who came.
Seeing the aunt, Liu Qian and Xiaozhu were a little scared, and took a few steps back. Xiaozhu explained: "We promised those classmates at that time, and we will give them rewards when things are done. Although things are not done, the rewards still have to be given , otherwise how would they be willing to follow us next time?"
Liu Jie's eyes lit up, he looked at the little thing in front of him, and said to Wei Wenjun with a smile: "This little boy will definitely accomplish great things in the future!"
Wei Wenjun nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Then how much you rewarded, I will make up for you."
Liu Qian hurriedly said: "At that time, everyone was informed, and each person was rewarded with [-] yuan and [-] pieces of candied fruit!"
"it is good!"
Seeing the two little things leaving happily, Wei Wenjun's face was also full of smiles, but Liu Yan looked at him unhappily, "You've been cheated again, these two little things must be making a difference! "
"It's okay, they really want to help me, and their intentions are true."
As the two walked and chatted, Liu Jing complained, "If you didn't want to, I would have taken you out a long time ago. Why wait so long? Isn't it still the same result now?"
"It's not the same. That debate can change a lot of things."
"By the way, your stepfather went in."
"I know he deserved what he deserved for so many crimes."
Liu Jie nodded and said, "I've heard that too. You said that if his crimes are particularly serious and he wants to kill his clan, don't you have to be executed together?"
Wei Wenjun scratched his head with a wry smile, "According to the law, it's true. After all, my mother hasn't officially left home with him, and I can't hide from the clan."
The two walked out of the Prince's Mansion all the way, and walked towards Wei Wenjun's own mansion not far away.
Aunt Wei lives here, and Wei Wenjun is not willing to let his mother live in the Prince's Mansion, because the Prince once said that if he doubts about marrying, that's fine, but don't come to seek his help again.Wei Wenjun has always remembered this sentence, so even if it would be a lot of trouble to come and go, he is not willing to ask the princess to let his mother live in. The prince has done his best to his family, and he will not ask him for help again. What do you do.
Besides, Wei Wenjun also has his own salary now. Although it is not much, it is not a problem to support his mother's family.
When the two came here, Mrs. Wei was hugging her youngest son, talking to several daughters with a smile. Seeing the princess walking in, Mrs. Wei hurriedly got up to salute, and saw Wei Wenjun following her , Wei Wei's face is full of joy.
It's just that she doesn't seem to be as worried about her son's safety as Yang's. Maybe it's because she has enough confidence in her son, or it's for other reasons.
When Wei Wenjun accepted the younger brother with a smile, Wei Wei couldn't help but said: "A few days ago, His Majesty came here in person, hugged your younger brother, rewarded some money, and let me take good care of the child. , you have grown to such a point that even the emperor came to visit you."
Wei Wei naturally took all of this as the credit of Wei Wenjun, but Wei Wenjun was a little confused.
The emperor is here? ?
Wei Wenjun is still very clear about the emperor's attitude towards him. Every time he sees him, he wants to fight him. How could he come to visit his family?He looked suspiciously at the princess, who was completely unaware of this.
"Father, he always does what he thinks of. You can't guess, maybe he thinks that Xiaoqing can do a lot in the future!"
Wei Wenjun simply didn't think about it anymore.
While several people were chatting, someone suddenly came to visit.
But the person who came to Wei Wei was extremely surprised, it was Mrs. Yang.
Mrs. Yang had a complex expression, and led her two sons into the room.
Wei Wenjun didn't think there was anything wrong, so he hurried to pay respects. Zheng Qi saw the princess here, his eyes lit up, and then saw Wei Wenjun beside him, his eyes were quite helpless.
Zheng Qi bowed to Mrs. Wei, and then said: "Because of that person, my mother had some discord with you in the past, and today I brought her to make peace with you. There is no need to continue to do anything. It is not easy for you to take care of Qing alone. The Marquis of Pingyang arranged a residence for us. If you are willing, you can come and live with us. We can also help you take care of Qing no matter what Said, Qing is also my brother."
Aunt Wei was dumbfounded. She waited for a long time before she looked at Mrs. Yang, handed the child to Wei Wenjun who was at the side, and saluted her.
"I know that I offended you, and I feel really guilty. You don't care about the past, and you are so tolerant, which really makes me ashamed of the past. Please forgive me."
Wei Wei saluted again and again.
Mrs. Yang is actually not willing to come here, but Zheng Qi has this idea of reconciliation. Now that her son has grown up and has become very thoughtful, Mrs. Yang can't resist him, so she came here. Since this incident, Mrs. Yang The knot in her heart seemed to be opened, and she found that all she cared about was her two sons. As long as the two sons can live well, that beast is not worth mentioning at all, and it is not worth following him for him. What conflicts do other people have.
In addition, Zheng Qi kept persuading him that he was able to come out safely this time because of the actions of those university students around Wei Wenjun, so Mrs. Yang followed her son.
Mrs. Wei took the initiative to plead guilty, and Mrs. Yang's complexion improved a lot. She nodded, "There is no need to talk about the past."
The two can be regarded as reconciled, Wei Wei knows how to get along with this kind of woman, she carefully accompanied Madam Yang, and she didn't know what the two said, and some smiles gradually appeared on Madam Yang's face.
But Zheng Qi was teasing the little guy in Wei Wenjun's arms at the moment.
"You haven't grown up yet, but your voice is so loud, the little guy will become a big weapon in the future."
As Zheng Qi said, Wei Wenjun also agreed, "My family, Wei Qing, will definitely be able to become a general in the future."
"It's Zheng Qing."
"It's Wei Qing."
The two of them didn't give in to each other, they both called each other in their own way, but the little guy just looked blankly at the two elder brothers in front of him, completely unaware of what happened, only the princess beside him couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"When Xiaoqing grows up, I'm afraid I'll have a headache if I don't see you!"
Several people chatted for a long time, Zheng Qi led his mother and left here. Although Aunt Wei was willing to reconcile, she was unwilling to live with Mrs. Yang again.
Wei Wenjun looked at the sky, said goodbye to his mother, and walked out of the mansion.
Liu Jie asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
"I have to go to the punishment department."
"Huh?? You just came out, and what did you go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for?"
There was a faint smile on Wei Wenjun's face, "Duke Xuan took care of me a lot earlier, so I have to go and thank you."
Liu Jie saw that he was going to do business, so he didn't say anything more, just said that he would come back tomorrow, and left here.
Wei Wenjun prepared the carriage, and then hurried towards the Ministry of Punishment.
When Xuan Moru saw Wei Wenjun again, he was a little surprised.
"Are you here to visit Zheng Ji?"
This was the first thing Xuan Moru thought of. Did he want to take this opportunity to establish himself as a dutiful son?
Wei Wenjun shook his head slowly, his face extremely serious, "I'm here to complain."
"Oh?? Who are you going to sue?"
"Zheng Ji colluded with Confucian scholars to slander the prince and tarnish the prince's reputation, which is not good for the prince. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, instigating foreign kings is not good for the prince, tarnishing other people's reputation, framing others and causing disputes. The prince is not here. Chang’an, but you can’t let anyone bully you, I ask the Ministry of Punishment to act immediately and arrest and interrogate these people according to the law!!”
"Oh, it's here to kill."
Xuan Moru immediately understood the reason for his visit, "Okay, the Ministry of Punishment accepts it, come here, take it down for registration!"
Several great Confucians were sitting in the mansion, but they didn't have the usual demeanor of the great Confucianists at all, just like street knights, yelling at a few people's names.
"Shen Peihe, how can He De! He has completely lost the face of Lord Fuqiu! This time, he actually teamed up with Huang Lao to deal with us! The crime is heinous!"
"The most hateful thing is Wang Tong. This guy doesn't know loyalty and filial piety, and is extremely shameless! Using his tongue, he turns black and white!"
"There are also Huang Lao's people, these people have brought disaster to the country and the people!"
"Lu Jia is an unknown person, and he pretends to be a great Confucian!"
"Xuan Mo is really a villain!"
The more they talked, the more angry they became, as if they wanted to vent all the anger these days. Someone immediately suggested: "We can use an article to expose their evil deeds! Let future generations know!"
Many people agreed on the spot, but there were still some people who were not willing to fail.
"Such crooked ways, can you still deceive the people of the world? We have not responded to the letter with Dai Wang. If Dai Wang finds out, maybe things will change."
While everyone was discussing these things, someone suddenly broke in, and the armors of the soldiers collided with each other, making a clanging sound, and the entire mansion was immediately surrounded inside and out, and officials from the Ministry of Punishment were seen walking in Here, he looked at the several great scholars in front of him.And seeing these people, no matter how stupid these people are, they began to get scared, and finally realized that something was wrong.
The leader plucked up his courage, stood up, and asked loudly, "What are you doing?"
"Someone accuses you of harming the prince and will take you back for investigation."
"what?"
Everyone was furious, and someone argued: "It's just an academic debate, why is it so? A big man can't be convicted with his words. This is a rule set by the Queen Mother herself. Do you still want to violate the Queen Mother's order?"
The officials of the Ministry of Punishment sneered, "The big man is not convicted by words, but the big man has a crime called defamation. There is also a crime called treason. How dare you write a letter with the king outside to deal with the prince?? Knowing this What crime?!"
Hearing this question, everyone turned pale.
Someone stood up and said, "We are not planning to rebel against the foreign king!! Dai Wang is a great Confucian, we let him participate in the debate, can this be counted as rebellion?"
"So in the letter, it is said that the prince employs unknown people, protects traitors, does not understand filial piety, and hopes that the king will help him?? How do you want the king to help you? Do you want to help you send troops to attack Chang'an?! Someone! Give me some Down!!"
The great Confucianists shouted, but the soldiers didn't give them a chance at all, they pressed them to the ground one by one, tied them up, and soon, these people were taken away.
And in various places, such situations have appeared. Those Lu Ru who participated in the debate in the past were arrested one by one, and the charges were all for being unfavorable to the prince.
But no one came out to defend them, even those Tai students were applauding at the moment.
The incident happened so suddenly, probably even Lu Ru himself did not expect that the day of reckoning would come so soon.
Of course, this is something that Liu Heng himself has never thought about. He just wanted to hit these rotten old guys hard through this incident, so that they can't stay in Chang'an, just drive them out. Who would have thought that they would dare To write a letter to contact the Dai Wang, even if they really just want the Dai Wang to come forward to debate, it is a big taboo, especially the words in the letter are not clear, vaguely hope that the Dai Wang can come out to fight for the heir apparent meaning.
Lu Ru's fate made everyone very happy.
Wang Tong's place suddenly became lively. Since the last time he was in the limelight, many people have come to visit him, and they no longer regard him as a scourge. teaching.
But Wang Tong frowned, looking unhappy.
Sima Tan saw Master's concern.
"Master, you defeated those people and proved your claim is correct, why do you look unhappy at all?"
Wang Tong shook his head, "I will applaud those people being arrested, but my junior brother is definitely not a bad person who would want to murder the prince. I just have a different opinion from him, but he is being arrested because of those people now When I got up, I felt really uneasy."
Sima Tan understood that he was worried about Ding Kuan.
"Master, don't worry, maybe the King of the Northland can help him with a few good words."
Wang Tong didn't speak, looked around, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of the King of the North, I haven't seen him for a long time, where did he go?"
"I do not know either."
In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Liu Ci happily held his brother's hand, his face was very moved.
"Third brother, you always accompany me every time I come in, I never thought that you love me so much, you don't say anything, I will never compete with you for the position of the third child, you will be my elder brother from now on! "
Liu Liang looked at the front blankly, "I am your elder brother."
Liu Ci was still very moved. The reason why Liu Liang came here was entirely because of him, the fourth child. Because his younger brother was arrested, the third child mistakenly thought that his younger brother was involved in the rebellion case, so he began to help build momentum in the rebellion case. , leading those literati, criticizing Confucian scholars all day long, declaring that Zheng Qi and the others are innocent. If it was only at this level, it would not be considered a crime. It is a pity that in the face of these literati's crusade, those Lu Confucianists did not accept the move. He simply looked down on these ostentatious writers. In order to achieve the effect, the literati under his command played against each other, pretending to be Lu Ru's name to play against Taiwan, so as to stir up public opinion, but was found out by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and brought here to accompany his brother on the spot. .
Xuan Moru was very sad about this, how could such a well-behaved doll become like this?
This must all be Xia Wang's fault!
Zheng Ji has already been taken out for interrogation, and the man was beaten so badly that even Zheng Qi would not recognize him.
And Liu Ci was very happy, not only because his brother came to accompany him, but also because of those brand new inmates.
Seeing the unlucky Lu Ru, Liu Ci was very happy. Thinking of the grievances he had suffered in these days, Liu Ci decided to deal with these people.
Liu Ci looked at the new inmate. He was an old Confucian with no expression on his face. He sat in a corner all day without saying a word, and he didn't even salute when he saw him.
But Liu Liang stopped him, "Ci, don't be rude, this man is a great Confucian in the Imperial Academy"
"I don't care if he is a Confucian or not. It is because of these guys that I have been in prison for so long. I have to relieve myself."
"No, listen to me"
"Brother don't need to say more!!"
Liu Ci broke free, walked up swaggeringly, rolled up his sleeves with a grinning grin, "Seeing that I didn't worship you, you old man."
"Bang~~~"
Seeing his younger brother falling straight to the ground, Liu Liang let out a long sigh.
"I said you couldn't beat him"
