Gu Yun received a secret letter from Zhu Zhi and immediately sent Bao Xi to invite Xu You. Xu You was eating, and he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he hurried to the county office wearing a loose robe at home. Gu Yun handed over the secret letter, Xu You opened it and looked at it, the look on his face was quite playful, and said, "Wei Du recruited ......."

"Well, he confessed all the secret strongholds scattered in the five counties, Fourth Uncle Zhu has already sent five people to encircle and suppress, and all the way to Qiantang sent me a letter, all the way to Dongyang County to find his father."

"What, do you need Gu Yuanjun to come forward?"

Gu Yun's father, Gu Huaiming, is currently the Taishou of Dongyang, and Bao Xi took over and said: "One of the strongholds is in Dongyang County, so the Taishou should lead the troops to arrest him." However, this matter is very important, Zhu Shilang is afraid that Taishou will hesitate, so he asked Mingfu to personally repair a letter to Taishou to explain the situation! ”

The relationship between father and son is always closer than that between families, Xu You muttered: "Five counties...... It will take at least seven days to return, and the Zhu clan needs to mobilize no less than a thousand troops, and with such a large-scale transfer, the entire Yangzhou is estimated to be shaken......"

Gu Yun looked at Xu You's eyes with a faint amount of respect, and said: "Fortunately, I took precautions and pulled Sili Mansion in, otherwise, if someone else sends a secret piece of paper to Jinling, it will be difficult for the lord not to have doubts, and it will bring unpredictable variables to this case." ”

"Si Lifu is the eagle dog and the eyes and ears of the Lord, and hiding from them will only lead to a place of suspicion, rather than this, it is better to be calm and calm."

Xu You smiled: "Anyway, the truth is on our side, and the evidence is also in our hands, the Zhu family has suffered a strange shame again, and the reaction is too radical, and the Zaifu in the court should be able to understand!" ”

The Zai Fu could understand it, but the Wei people couldn't understand it, Wei Wenxuan hurried all night, and immediately after arriving in Wu County, he went to see Hu Jin, the chief of the Yangzhou Thorn Mansion. Liu Quan went to office, the state moved west, the new assassin history has not yet been officially seen, Hu Jin Hu Changshi is actually the highest governor of Yangzhou, he politely received Wei Wenxuan, and said: "Too often come today, I don't know what happened?" ”

Wei Wenxuan once served as the secretary of Taichang Temple, and later took over the Wei clan, and his health was not very good, so he was called Wei Taichang. He bowed his hand and said: "Changshi, a few days ago, Wei Du, the son of the family, was robbed for some reason, and now there is no trace. ”

"This ......" Hu Jin was a little unbearable, he had a deep friendship with the family lords in Yangzhou, but he had always respected Wei Wenxuan's personality, and he was as anxious as a headless fly, but he was not easy to say, and said: "Shiyun's 'gentleman for ten thousand years, Jieer Jingfu', too often has its own blessings, but it can protect the children and grandchildren from harm, so there is no need to worry too much!" ”

Although Wei Wenxuan is a gentleman, he has also experienced the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, and immediately heard that Hu Jin had something to say, and he didn't say much at the moment, so he said goodbye to the Thorn History Mansion, went out of Wu County and traveled five miles to the east, and arrived at the mansion built by the Lu family in the mountains and rivers.

The Wei family and the Lu family have in-laws, but Wei Wenxuan and the contemporary suzerain of the Lu family, Lu Zongzhou Zheng, disagreed, and had many disputes in the court and China, and almost did not get along with each other, but there were many friends among the children and grandchildren, so there was a marriage.

This time, he felt that the mountain rain was coming, and Hu Jin didn't have a word there, so Wei Wenxuan couldn't save face and came to visit Lu Zongzhou. Lu Zongzhou was not surprised by the arrival of this rare guest, his expression was solemn, and he said: "I guess you old guy should also come to Wu County, fortunately, you didn't get home in a daze!" ”

Wei Wenxuan was in no mood to play tricks with him, and asked directly, "What happened?" ”

"Wei Du was arrested by the Zhu family!"

"Huh? Zhu's? ”

Wei Wenxuan was taken aback, he expected that this matter was not trivial, but he didn't expect that the Zhu family would be involved. Years of qi cultivation work can't compare to such a seemingly simple sentence, and he was stunned: "Although the four surnames of Huiji and the four surnames of Wuzhong have not been integrated, there has never been a fundamental conflict of interest, why did the Zhu family do this?" ”

Lu Zongzhou's eyes showed a hint of ridicule, and said, "How can you be the sect master?" Wei Du befriended bandits, robbed his beloved, and then sold them to the north as prostitutes and slaves, like this, he lost his conscience, and had no father and no king, is it really the children raised by your Wei family? ”

Wei Wenxuan changed color, although he and Lu Zongzhou did not agree, but he also knew that this old man would not lie, he had always said one thing and two things, and never added oil and vinegar.

"Son, son!"

Wei Wenxuan beat his chest with his hands, he was in pain, he governed the family with Confucian etiquette, Qingzao was loyal, who would have thought that such a sensational dirty thing would happen in the family, and decades of reputation would be ruined, how could he not be sad?

"If that's all there is to it, that's it." Lu Zongzhou made it clear that he wanted to make Wei Wenxuan uneasy, and said: "Wei Du robbed Zhu Li's daughter Zhu Lingbo in Puyangjin, imprisoned in the dark room of a small fishing village by the river, and almost died!" The Zhu family was humiliated by this, and they were determined to take revenge, and even Zhu Zhi, who was obsessed with fishing in Fuchun River and didn't care about the world, went out and personally planned all this, and took Wei Du from Shangyu, that is, under your nose. ”

Wei Wenxuan finally understood the cause and effect, after all, he was the sect master of the Wei family, and he was worried about the situation at first, but now that he knew the details, he gradually calmed down and began to seek countermeasures.

Lu Zongzhou looked at him and thought hard, and said coldly: "Don't think about it, the gentleman abandons his flaws to pull out talents, and the strong man breaks his wrist to complete his quality, since Wei Du is not successful, it is useless for you to protect him." ”

Wei Wenxuan smiled bitterly: "I don't know, it's just that Wenyuan is such a son, and he is not in good health, if something really happens, won't he be in this vein?" ”

"A son of evil is better than something!"

Lu Zongzhou looked at Wei Wenxuan's tired appearance, and sighed in his heart, he was dozens of years old, and he was still working hard for his children and grandchildren, his tone softened a little, and said: "Wei Wenyuan himself is not right, what good son can he teach?" When the interruption continues, how can the Zhu family be willing to give up? The Gu family and the Zhang family have already expressed their stance on the side of the Zhu family, Wu Zhongsi's surname is a family, and my Lu family is reasonable, and I can't stay out of the matter, let alone help you......" He paused, his eyebrows twisted together, and said: "What's more, Meng Xingchun was also involved, yesterday afternoon, the apprentices of the Sili Mansion escorted Wei Du to the Assassin Mansion......"

Wei Wenxuan no longer had a surprised expression, and it took a long time before he said gloomily: "Zhu Zhi, Zhu Zhi!" Good means! ”

"Jiang Zuo Zhuge is not a waste of fame, if he doesn't make a move, he will not make a move, so you will not have the slightest room for resistance! Do you know how I know what's going on? Zhu Zhi came to see me last night and said that you will definitely come to the door today, these words are what he asked me to tell you, as for what the intention is, you can think for yourself! ”

Knowing that Zhu Zhi was planning behind the scenes, Wei Wenxuan no longer had the confidence to set off from Shangyu. The latter also depends on the opponent, a person like Zhu Zhi, as long as he is one step slower, he will be restrained step by step, and he will not even have a chance to breathe, how to go to the latter strike?

It is difficult for Wei Wenxuan to make a decision, although Wei Du is Wei Wenyuan's only son, but for the entire Wei family, it is not so important, even if he dies, he can give Wei Wenyuan another step-son to inherit the bloodline of his house. It's just that the Wei family has today's situation because of the bloody struggle of countless ancestors, so being bullied and admitting punishment and not fighting back will inevitably be underestimated by the world.

Zhu Zhituo Lu Zongzhou brought the words, he gave him the steps, and wanted him to personally tie up Wei Du to report the case, so that he would look good, kill his relatives with righteousness, and it would sound good to say it, but he still lost everything inside.

Lu Zongzhou saw that Wei Wenxuan was hesitant, and said helplessly: "You know Wei Du's talent best, can he alone run the privateer business that covers the north and south and overthrows several counties in Yangzhou?" ”

"Yes, thanks to your reminder, I was in a panic for a while, I didn't expect this festival!" Wei Wenxuan frowned and said: "Wei Du can't study, he can't learn martial arts, there are some cities, but they are extremely limited, and it is impossible to be the mastermind!" ”

He looked at Lu Zongzhou, Lu Zongzhou lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, the old god was there, and he didn't speak!

Wei Wenxuan knew that he was waiting for him to express his position, and said: "Okay, Wei Du's matter, if the evidence is conclusive, I will never cover it up, I will be flogged if it should be flogged, and if it should be killed, it will all depend on the law of the country!" ”

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved!" Lu Zongzhou yawned, stood up lazily, and said, "I'll accompany you with this old bone." ”

"Where to go?"

"The prison of the Assassin's Mansion!"

The servant who was waiting on the side early brought a cyan coat, carefully helped Lu Zongzhou to dress warmly, and the prepared ox cart was surrounded by thick sheepskin felt, which was burned with a copper crane and turtle back stove, and he couldn't feel a trace of cold.

Lu Zongzhou leaned on the back pillow, his body swayed slightly with the bumps of the ox cart, his hands were clasped in his sleeves, and he said: "When I saw Wei Du, I asked him to return truthfully, no matter who was involved, no matter what surname was involved, he would say it one by one." With his ability, at most he is a conspiracy, if he confesses meritoriously, he may be able to avoid death! ”

"The people behind the scenes...... Is there an answer in my brother's womb? ”

"Who is behind the scenes, you don't have to know now, when you get to the Thorn Mansion, Meng Xingchun may come to you for a secret discussion. Remember, remember, do everything according to his wishes, don't argue, and don't say no! ”

"The yellow-eared dog of Silifu, barking and barking, not making a human voice, what are you doing with him?"

Wei Wenxuan is a gentleman and has always looked down on the eagle dogs of Sili Mansion. Lu Zongzhou sighed: "It's too rigid and easy to break, your temper is ...... It is true that Si Lifu is an eagle dog, but he adheres to the Lord's heavenly heart, if you want the Wei family to be in danger this time, don't offend him, let alone do it with him! ”

"Okay!"

The situation is stronger than people, and Wei Wenxuan has no choice. When he arrived at the Thorn Shi Mansion, Hu Jin poured tea again to entertain the guests, Wei Wenxuan was full of anger, and said: "Where is that beast Wei Du, please take me to see him now!" I have to kill this beast who has disgraced my ancestors with my own hands! ”

"Anger, too often and anger!" Hu Jin was afraid that he would be angry, so he hurriedly calmed him for a while, and said: "Wei Du is not self-cultivation, careless, and causing trouble, it is not too often and Wei's fault. Today, there are Lu Sikong, Zhu Shilang and Meng Fake Zuo, and the merits will definitely give Taichang an explanation. ”

Saying that, Zhu Zhi walked out of the inner hall, shook his head to the ground, looked respectful, and said: "The kid is rude, he doesn't dare to ask for forgiveness too often, and he will be the most important in the future, and he will be guilty of asking for guilt." ”

Wei Wenxuan didn't care what he thought of Zhu Zhi in his heart, in front of Hu Jin and Lu Zongzhou, he couldn't help but show a little generosity, held his arm, and said: "Please get up quickly, the Wei family is not quiet, so that such a wicked son has appeared, and he should be an old man to ask the waiter for his guilt!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Zhu Zhi accepted it when he saw it, and said: "Meng Jiaozuo is waiting too often in the back, there are secret matters to discuss!" ”

If you want to put aside the past, let alone Meng Xingchun sitting still, he dared to ask Wei Wenxuan to see him, even if Meng Xingchun personally came to the door to deliver the post, Wei Wenxuan might not be willing to take the time to see him. In the final analysis, if he is upright, you can ignore the people of Silifu, but if he is flawed, Silifu is the most terrifying.

Breaking the county order, destroying the door and stabbing the history, but the Sili Mansion can break the family and destroy the door, and the poison will affect future generations!

Wei Wenxuan understood that this was Meng Xingchun's dismount and deliberately humiliated him, but because of this, he had to be even more patient. If a small Sili Mansion can openly humiliate him, it means that the situation is already very serious, and there is nothing unbearable for the sake of the family!

Wei Wenxuan went to see Meng Xingchun, Hu Jin sat in the main seat in the lobby, with a harmless smile on his face, Lu Zongzhou sat in the east, closed his eyes and recuperated, as steady as Mount Tai, Zhu Zhi sat in the south, drinking tea by himself, and his expression was calm as usual.

The three were silent.

A cup of tea, another cup, a little and again, repeating this three times, Wei Wenxuan finally walked out of the inner hall, his face was not very good, Lu Zongzhou glanced up at him, and continued to close his eyes, Hu Jin and Zhu Zhi got up to greet each other, Wei Wenxuan said word by word: "Take me to see Wei Du!" ”

Wei Du was locked up in the prison of the Assassin's Mansion, and he was treated well, with a single cell, no idle prisoners around, and twenty jailers were tightly guarded. Wei Wenxuan walked through three prison doors before he walked to Wei Du, he was wearing ordinary cloth clothes, although not luxurious, but he had a little more dignity and decency than those prisoners in prison clothes.

Seeing Wei Wenxuan, Wei Du immediately broke down and cried, saying, "Uncle, save me, save me!" They're going to kill me, I don't want to die! ”

"Shut up!"

Wei Wenxuan hated that iron could not become steel, but he couldn't scold him here, and said: "If you want to live, you must truthfully confess how He Jie lured you into the gang, how he took you to plunder your beloved, and how he operated such a big case of fornicating between the north and the south." If there is a word of falsehood, I will leave now and hand you over to the Assassin Mansion for severe punishment! ”

"I say, I say!" Wei Du has been covered with a black cloth for the past few days, and has been transferred hundreds of miles in the secret compartment of the carriage, dead urine is solved in a small space, the fishy smell is enough to suffocate, fear, uneasiness, anxiety, and dazedness, the double torment of body and spirit has put him on the verge of collapse, if it were not for the hope in his heart, the family found out that he was missing, and he must be actively working to rescue him, I am afraid that he would not have been able to hold on for a long time.

Finally looking forward to Wei Wenxuan, the sect master of the Wei family, the person whom Wei Du once hated extremely much, and now the only savior, really let him do whatever he wants, He Jie is not important, Rijin Doujin's business is not important, what matters is his life!
