410 Confused
Xiao Minyuan listened to Wei Yuchun's words, and his face was a little unsightly.
He was very disgusted with situations like Xi Gong that were not under his control, but he was unwilling to give up Xi Gong's ability, this time, Xi Gong was just a short reminder, which could help him get out of trouble, if he could completely take Xi Gong under his command, he would definitely be able to make him like a tiger.
Now he has to be busy appeasing Rui Min and the others, and he has to clean up the mess left by the previous court, plus Feng Yan and the Wen family......
Xiao Minyuan rubbed his eyebrows and said: "You don't have to check, Xi Gong is an unfettered character, since he has entered Beijing, he will definitely come to contact this king, don't let people touch his taboo, not to mention that after this incident, I am afraid that everyone in Beijing is staring at this king, if you go to find Xi Gong, I am afraid that you will just send him to the eldest and fourth." ”
When Duke Xi promised him to go out of the mountain, he didn't know why, and now he didn't dare to risk his affairs easily.
With Xi Gong's ability, if he appeared in front of others, Xiao Minyuan was not sure at all, whether he would continue to choose him at that time.
Wei Yuchun listened to Xiao Minyuan being so cautious about that "Duke Xi", and said in a low voice: "Why does the prince bother so much about that Duke Xi?"
Xiao Minyuan replied without thinking about it: "He is a capable person, it is worth the king to bother for him, and when the current matter is resolved, this king will visit him in person." ”
After he finished speaking, he only felt a period of fatigue on his body, although he had not been punished in the prison these days, but he had not had a good life, the prison was cold, and he could hardly sleep under the anxiety, and now he finally came back, although the matter was not broken, he also felt very sleepy.
After Xiao Minyuan casually said a few words to Wei Yuchun, he turned around and went back to the back room to rest, but he didn't see the haze that was accumulating more and more under Wei Yuchun's eyes.

After the Wen family learned that Xiao Minyuan was imprisoned, Wen Zhenghong was happy for two days at the beginning, and felt that Xiao Minyuan would no longer come to entangle, but as time passed, he gradually began to notice that something was wrong.
However, in just half a month, the manpower he had worked so hard to cultivate was reduced by half, and even the people he originally sent out to find out the news were all missing, and later, Emperor Yongzhen took away his position in the sect with a holy decree.
After learning that Xiao Minyuan was out of trouble, Wen Zhenghong felt uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't sleep for several days, and he always felt that things were becoming more and more difficult to control.
The bad news from the outside came one after another, and Wen Zhenghong finally couldn't help but move, but it was only three days, waiting for the people he sent to deal with Wu Xing to come back and inform him that Wu Xing was injured and ran away, Wen Zhenghong was completely panicked.
When he found Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu was knocking on the wooden fish in the small Buddha hall and reciting the scriptures.
After hearing Wen Zhenghong's words, the Qianzhi that Mrs. Liu was holding in her hand, which was originally knocking on the wooden fish, directly tilted and hit the copper niche next to her, making a piercing sound.
Seeing that Old Madam Liu's body was crooked, Wen Zhenghong hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said urgently: "Mother, what do you say we should do now?"
"What to do, now you know to ask me, what did you do earlier?!"
Old Madam Liu waved her hand and pushed Wen Zhenghong away, turned to look at him with a blue face and said angrily: "I told you a long time ago, you have to think twice before acting, if you are not completely sure, you are not allowed to attack Wu Xing, even if you want to do it, you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and you must not leave future troubles, but you are good, you directly sent someone to do it, not to mention, and then he ran away?!"
"Do you know where he ran now, whether it was someone helping him or an accident, whether he fell into anyone's hands, and whether anyone else knew about him?"
Wen Zhenghong was unable to answer a series of questions from Mrs. Liu.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu said hatefully: "You, you useless thing, what is in your head, you don't care about anything and do it in a hurry, you don't even leave yourself half a way out!"
Wen Zhenghong couldn't raise his head when he was scolded by Mrs. Liu, but he also defended in a low voice: "Mother, I'm just afraid that Wu Xing will be a scourge if he keeps it, he has too many tails on his body, and if people catch him doing something, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack me." ”
"Mother, you also know the situation in the palace now, because of the unfilial reason before, Emperor Yongzhen has resigned from my official position under the pretext of cutting off my way in the court, and now if he grabs the handle again, he will not let us go so easily......"
That's why he wanted to get rid of Wu Xing completely, lest Wu Xing's matter implicate him, and pull them into the entire Zheng Guogong Mansion and not turn over.
Who knew that Old Madam Liu not only did not ease up when she heard his words, but became even more angry.
Seeing that Wen Zhenghong hadn't reflected on her mistakes until now, but was bent on shirking her responsibility, she seemed to be angry, and directly took the Qianzhi beside her and smashed it towards him, Wen Zhenghong, who hit him directly, snorted, and his forehead was red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wen Zhenghong covered his forehead and said in a lost voice: "Mother..."
"Don't call me!"
Old Madam Liu said angrily: "Before your father died, he asked me to teach you with my heart and protect this big Zheng Guo Mansion, I thought that you had learned to be smart all these years, learned to judge the situation, and learned to see these things clearly, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid." ”
"You can only see that Xiao Shu has resigned from your official position, and you can only see him suppressing you, but have you ever thought that if Xiao Shu really wants to attack the Zheng Guogong Mansion and wants to cut you, when he sent King Xiang to the prison that day, you were already dead, how could he wait until today?!"
"He has some scruples about us, he is afraid that we will be killed, and he is even more afraid that he will destroy our Zheng Guogong Mansion without any evidence, and the Wen family will be cut down by people, so he just suppresses you, just reprimands you, as long as you can calm down at this time and don't act rashly and be caught, he will never take the risk of ruining your reputation and do it easily. ”
"But what about you, you are good at sending a good handle to Xiao Shu, for fear that he will have no excuse to deal with us. ”
"Have you ever thought that Wu Xing is a member of the Wu family, no matter how big a crime he committed, even if he is really caught, there is the Wu family in front of him, even if you have promoted him at the beginning, what can you do, then Wu Xing will not dare to bite you wantonly even if it is for the Wu family behind him, but now you have sent someone to kill people and kill him, but you still told him to run away. ”
"Have you ever thought that if Wu Xing falls into the hands of others, who will he hate the most?"
