Chapter 212: Xicheng carries the handle

Chapter 212

Wei Ting is very contradictory at the moment, if he doesn't kill Wei Hao, then those officials of the family can't keep their money, and even many people want to lose their heads because of this, but assassinating Wei Hao is also a little unbearable for Wei Ting, this is his own brother, at a critical time, he is a person who can help the Wei family,

Moreover, the patriarch also said just now that Wei Hao is likely to be promoted to the Duke of the Kingdom, plus he has won the trust of His Majesty and the Queen, and he is also the future husband of Princess Changle, and the other father-in-law is also the military boss of the dynasty. Such a person, if he grows up, can protect the Wei family for decades.

"Patriarch, you have to be cautious, but there is one thing I want to say, that is, it is a matter of time before the family disappears, and after it comes out of the paper, the power of the family will definitely be dispersed!" Wei Ting looked at Wei Yuanzhao and said, Wei Yuanzhao looked at him.

"Now let's not talk about other people, let's just say that my housekeeper, his children are all reading, they go to borrow books and copy them, and they copy them themselves, and they learn like this! At the same time, there are many private schools in Chang'an now, some down-and-out children who have read books, open private schools, and educate a lot of children, plus His Majesty will also build a library, and Wei Hao will also open a school, it can be seen that in the next ten years, there will be more and more officials born in the poor! Wei Ting looked at Wei Yuanzhao and continued, Wei Yuanzhao nodded.

"Since the family is going to disappear sooner or later, this is the general trend, no one can do anything, then we might as well keep Wei Hao, keep Wei Hao, our Wei family children will definitely be more promising, Your Majesty trusts Wei Hao so much, Wei Hao will definitely have a heavy fist in his hand in the future,

In addition, I heard that the relationship between Wei Hao and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also very good, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne in the future, I think that Wei Hao's power will not be bad, even if the relationship is not good, because there is Princess Changle here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not do anything to Wei Hao. So, patriarch, Wei Hao can't give up easily! Wei Ting sat there analyzing, and this was where he was most contradictory.

"Then you mean that we will keep Wei Hao and break with the family?" Wei Yuanzhao sat there, looked at Wei Ting and asked, Wei Ting didn't speak, what about so much money a year, keep Wei Hao, and they won't have this money.

"Huh! The old man is also contradictory, without that money, in the future, the children of the Wei family will be officials, and there will be no money to share dividends, and in the future, it is difficult to say whether they will listen to the Wei family! Wei Yuanzhao sighed again.

"Patriarch, you still need to make an idea about this matter, in the long run, I believe that Wei Hao is more useful, in the short term, of course, it is better to get rid of Wei Hao, and there is another question, can they really get rid of Wei Hao?" Wei Ting looked at Wei Yuanzhao and said,

Wei Yuanzhao nodded, stood up, and walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, still thinking about how to make this decision, if he didn't do it well, the Wei family would fall into a dangerous situation.

"Patriarch, you said, is it possible that Wei Hao has already sent the results of the investigation to His Majesty, if it is sent to His Majesty in advance, assassinating Wei Hao, it will have no effect!" Wei Ting also stood up, looked at Wei Yuanzhao and said.

"Impossible, right? The account hasn't been settled yet, but I heard that it's only been these two days! Wei Yuanzhao turned his head to look at Wei Ting and asked.

"I don't know about this, but all aspects still need to be considered clearly, if the assassination fails, Your Majesty will be furious, and none of those people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be able to save them, and besides, in the capital, those children of the family, I don't know how many people will lose their heads." Wei Ting shook his head and said,

Wei Yuanzhao nodded, then gritted his teeth, and made up his mind to say: "You, send this news to Wei Hao as quickly as possible, and warn Wei Hao that the family will assassinate him, let him protect himself no matter what!" ”

"Patriarch, yes, I'm going to plan it, and I can't let the people of other families know!" Wei Ting sat there and spoke.

"Send someone to Juxian Building, the shopkeeper of Juxian Building is personally going to deliver food to Wei Hao, he is the steward of Wei Hao's family, he watched Wei Hao grow up, and he is also Wei Hao's confidant, find a way to pass the news to him!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Ting and said.

"Yes, I know, I'll go!" Wei Ting heard it, nodded, and left immediately, and then Wei Ting went out,

When he returned to his house, he wrote a letter and gave it to the steward of his house.

"You go to Juxian Building, order a table of food, the old man will have a treat tomorrow night, in addition, hand over this letter to the king shopkeeper of Juxian Building, you have to hand it over to him, and tell him that the things in it are very important, be sure to hand it over to Wei Hao in person!" If he doesn't believe you, you say it's my subordinate, if he believes you, don't mention it, remember, you can't let a third person know about it, otherwise, your life won't be saved! Wei Ting said to the person in charge, who has also been with him for more than ten years.

"You know, master, I'm going now, is there anything else to advise?" The man in charge looked at Wei Ting and continued to ask.

"No, just remember the word hidden, don't be discovered!" Wei Ting told him again, the steward nodded, turned around and went out, while Wei Ting touched his head, very headache?

"My brother, you have stabbed the hornet's nest, how many people have you offended, if you win, it's okay, if you lose, will you have a good life in the future?" Wei Ting looked up at the floor above, and said with great emotion, but he also admired this clan brother in his heart, he was really capable.

And when the steward arrived at Juxian Building, he proposed to set a box for tomorrow night, and his master wanted to invite him to dinner.

"Okay, there's a box, the small one will register for you!" The shopkeeper Wang took out the notebook, but recorded it.

"It is very important to hand it over to your son-in-law, hand it over to him personally, don't let anyone know!" The steward secretly stuffed a letter to the king's steward,

Steward Wang was stunned for a moment, but he still took it, stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, and looked at the steward suspiciously.

"The contemptible people are from Wei Ting's mansion, Wei Ting and Wei Hao are brothers! Remember, I'm going to have a box, and our lord will be here tomorrow night! The steward finished the previous sentence, and the latter said in a loud voice.

Steward Wang nodded, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's registered, it's registered, then there must be!" ”

When the steward left, Steward Wang stood there for a while, and then returned to the room behind him, took out the letter and read it, which read: Wei Hao personally opened! "Well, something, mysterious!"

So saying, the steward put the letter in again, and went out.

At noon, the government sent someone to send rice, and after Steward Wang loaded the food that Wei Hao liked to eat, he immediately took the food to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and when he arrived at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he went directly in, he came to deliver food these days, and Wei Hao's subordinates, many people knew him, and they would not stop him at all.

"Childe, it's time to eat! I'm hungry, but I have rice today! Steward Wang smiled at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao stood up with a smile and said to the people, "Eat together!" ”

Then Steward Wang gave a basket to those young officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wei Hao needed to eat in another room, Wei Hao was a duke, how could he eat with those who had no status.

After Steward Wang set up the meal, he stared at the direction of the door and handed a letter to Wei Hao, who was eating, Wei Hao read the letter, looked up at Steward Wang for a moment, and found that Steward Wang was staring at the direction of the door, so he took it, tore the opening, and pulled out the letter inside.

"Brother, the patriarch has reported that there is danger, the family is ready to assassinate you, remember not to risk it alone, brother, Wei Ting!" After Wei Hao finished reading those words, he was also stunned for a moment, quickly put away the paper, folded it, and put it in his pocket, his face was also very bad, they actually wanted to assassinate themselves!

Wei Hao sat there eating slowly, thinking about this. In the palace, it is estimated that the family does not dare to do it, since they want to assassinate themselves, then they must be fully prepared, and they definitely don't want to provoke things to them, it is estimated that they are looking for dead soldiers to do this, and they have pro-soldiers in and out, every time they go out, Wei Hao will follow more than a dozen pro-soldiers,

They want to assassinate themselves, either by taking advantage of their own unpreparedness, or by trying to kill all the soldiers around them and kill themselves at the same time. Then, they can only get out of the palace, and they may do it at any time.

"Okay, I'd like to see!" Wei Hao sat there, gritted his teeth angrily and said, I came to settle the account, I am sorry for the family, but the family is sorry for the people of the world, they want to kill themselves, they can understand,

But if you can't kill yourself this time, then it's your turn to kill them, but what makes Wei Hao feel very surprised is that this news was passed by Wei Ting, and it was Wei Yuanzhao who told him to pass it over, it seems that he was too indifferent to the Wei family before, just like Wei Furong said, a family is a family, there is competition internally, but it is consistent externally.

After the meal, Wei Hao continued to let those read, and after the last one was finished, Wei Hao let them out, he needed to figure it out, after those young officials came out, those officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were stunned for a moment, why did they come out?

"Why is it so early today?" Cui Yu came out, looked at the young people and asked.

"We're done reading, and we need Lord Wei to do the things that will settle the accounts later!" The young official of the Cui family arched his hand and said.

"Oh, how long will it take?" Cui Yu asked, thinking, even if the records are finished, it will take a few days to settle the accounts.

"It won't take long, Lord Wei was almost the same before, but the last piece of paper for each project, as long as Lord Wei tidied it up, it can be reported!" The young official looked at Cui Yu and said

"What?" Cui Yu heard it and looked at those people in shock,

And Wang Kui also stared at the children of his family and asked, "Can you finish today?" ”

"Surely, and it will be done soon!" The young official of the Wang family also nodded.

Wang Kui and Cui Yu looked at each other, feeling bad, now they are preparing to assassinate Wei Hao outside, and Wei Hao may have to send the results of the settlement in the afternoon, so isn't it unnecessary to assassinate?

But as far as they knew, it had already been launched now, and the time to do it was at night on Wei Hao's way back, and several groups of people had already been ambushed.

"The old man needs to go out, you guys are keeping an eye on things here!" Cui Yu glanced at them and said, and then went out of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Wang Kui also went out quickly.

"What do you say, it's already been calculated? So fast? Cui Xiongkai looked at Cui Yu and asked in shock.

"It's not calculated, it's definitely going to come out today, now, do you want to assassinate?" Cui Yu looked at Cui Xiongkai and asked, now in this situation, it seems that it can't be assassinated, and assassination is useless.

"Yes, this son can't be kept, and if he stays, it's a disaster!" Cui Xiongkai sat there and gritted his teeth and said.

"However, the patriarch doesn't know about this matter, and I don't know if the patriarch will agree to it, and once the action fails, the consequences can be imagined!" Cui Yu looked at him a little worriedly and said, he didn't want to assassinate him now,

If it hasn't been calculated, he is in favor of assassination, but if he still goes to assassinate if he calculates it, Li Shimin will be furious at that time, and if he can't keep any of them, he may all die, and if there is no such thing as assassination, their lives may still be saved, as long as the patriarch comes over and enters the palace to discuss with Li Shimin, maybe he will be imprisoned or exiled, but his family can be saved.

"What are you afraid of, my father is here, and he also approves, how many things has Wei Hao done to us? blew up the door of my house before, I haven't settled accounts with him yet, he has already ridden on my neck and, I put up with it, but now, this is going to cut off everyone's financial route, can this work? If the financial route is cut off, how will our family survive in the future? Cui Xiongkai sat there and spoke.

"Then, do you want to consult with others and see what everyone thinks!" Cui Yu still said worriedly, seeing that he had already made up his mind, this matter, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he would not be able to live.

"No, they know the news, and they will come to the old man!" Cui Xiongkai sat down and spoke, while Cui Yu nodded, he couldn't stop that thing, and the same was true on the Wang family's side, Wang Chen also insisted on killing Wei Hao, if he didn't kill Wei Hao, he didn't know how much trouble he would bring them in the future, and now that it has started, it can't be stopped, the money has already been paid,

And on this side of Xicheng, in a private house, some Turks were sitting in the courtyard wearing the clothes of the Tang Dynasty, it was too cold.

"Daddy, it's not good, I just heard from them, I have to wait for Wei Hao to come over, Wei Hao, isn't it Lord Wei? Wei Hanzi! And they are all sharpening their knives, it seems that they want to be unfavorable to Wei Hanzi! A woman dragged a middle-aged man into a corner next to her and whispered.

"What, wait for Wei Hanzi to come over, really?" The middle-aged man looked at his wife in shock.

"Really, I thought I heard it wrong at first, but I really heard it, they said it several times, and they also mentioned Wei Hao, I remember, Wei Hanzi is also called Wei Hao, and the street in front of us is the road that Wei Hanzi has to walk up and down every day.

The child's father, if that's the case, then you have to tell Engong, that Wei Hanzi is the pride of our Xicheng, and I heard that the study building is to be built, but it is also Wei Hao's way, and there is also a school dedicated to the children of the poor family.

In addition, our mother was seriously ill and had no money to see a doctor, but when my mother left, they also gave me a gift, without this gift, we couldn't even afford my mother's coffin! The woman whispered to the middle-aged man.

"Did you really hear that?" The middle-aged man also gritted his teeth and said.

"Look at them, they spend 3 yuan in the morning to rent our house for a month, you see, they are all Turks, with fierce faces, and they all carry knives!" The middle-aged woman said affirmatively to the middle-aged man.

"Cheng, be careful, I'll go to Wei Mansion! If you want to be unfavorable to Wei Hao, can the people of our Xicheng agree? "The middle-aged man is about to go out,

Wei Jinbao is a leader in Xicheng, that's really not nonsense, in Xicheng, Wei Jinbao doesn't know how many good things he has done, just to accumulate virtue, I hope that God will see his kindness and let his family spread out, but he can't continue to pass on alone or die, and then he will be ashamed of his ancestors.

Therefore, in Xicheng, no matter who it is, even if it is a third-class sect or a nine-rate, no one dares not to give Wei Jinbao face, and many people on the street have received Wei Jinbao's favor at home.

The middle-aged man soon arrived at the Wei Mansion.

"I'm looking for Master Wei, I have something urgent and need to see Master Wei!" The middle-aged man knocked on the small door of the Wei family, and a porter opened the door and looked at the middle-aged man.

"You, aren't you the one who bought breakfast on the street? Looking for our lord to have something? The porter knew him and immediately asked.

"Yes, it's about your son-in-law's safety, hurry up!" The middle-aged man said anxiously.

"What? That, you wait. I'm going to talk to my master! As soon as the porter heard it, he immediately went in to report it, and as soon as Wei Furong heard it, he immediately ran to the door.

"Engong, I, Qi Erlang, Engong, twenty or thirty people came to my house this morning and rented my house, I didn't care at first, after all, there are also Hu merchants who rent houses, and there are Turks in their group, and there are also our Datang people, but my daughter-in-law heard that they wanted to deal with Lord Wei, this is not good! Engong, you have to find a way! The middle-aged man looked at Wei Furong and said anxiously.

"What, what you said is true?" Wei Furong heard it, looked at Qi Erlang anxiously and said.

"Really, Eun Gong, do I dare to tell a lie about such a thing?" Qi Erlang also nodded.

"Engong, Engong, it's not good, someone has to deal with Lord Wei!" At this time, a middle-aged woman in the distance also ran over.
