Chapter 20: Balance
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became solemn, and everyone's eyes were on Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi who were standing in the center.
Wei Ziheng was not afraid at all, and said calmly: "May I ask Lord Tai, what is my crime?" ”
I saw Taihe, and waved his right hand slightly, and a group of masters of the Wu League instantly appeared on the eaves around him: "Since I dare to say this, there must be some evidence about the two of you on hand." I want to ask here, last night, Wei Ziheng Xiaoyou, where did you go? ”
"I walked around the courtyard." Wei Ziheng said.
"You've been to the place of pleasure and you've been there for a long time. I want to ask you what are you going to do? Tahoe, the tone became more and more aggressive.
Ji Jianyong's expression changed slightly, and he gradually took two steps back, keeping his distance. Sun Qi stood aside, holding Qi Hong in his left hand, slightly looking at the group of people around him.
Wei Ziheng, now unarmed, if it really starts, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous, and the urgency of the delay now is to stabilize the group of people in front of him: "Master Tai, tell me about the evidence you have now, maybe there is some misunderstanding between us." ”
"I want to ask, is this yours?" Taihe took out the stump of a piece of clothing from behind him, looked at Wei Ziheng, and said with the clothes he was wearing: "This thing was found on the eaves of that small courtyard, what did you go there last night?" This doesn't seem to be something that a guest of the Wu League should do. ”
Wei Ziheng looked down at the outside of his robe, and sure enough, there was a small piece of mutilation, looking at the shape of this mutilation, it seemed to have been scraped by those eaves, his eyes trembled slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Yes, I happened to go to the eaves of the small courtyard yesterday." ”
"What are you going to do? Can you answer me? Looking at the tone and momentum of Tahoe's speech, it seems that he wants to take down Wei Ziheng at any time. At the same time, Sun Qi stood up decisively on the side, and Qi Hong in his left hand was in front of him.
At this moment, Chi Feng, who didn't know when, floated to the eaves behind him, standing up with his burly body, holding the famous sword in his hand, and stood silently, as if he didn't make a sound during the whole process.
Wei Ziheng stretched out his right hand, patted his junior brother's shoulder, motioned for him to retreat, and then made a fist-hugging posture without changing his face, and then said: "Since this is the case, then I will no longer hide it, yesterday I was originally pacing back and forth in the small courtyard located in the place of ritual music, and suddenly saw a man in black, galloping from the eaves at great speed, to the small courtyard next to your council hall, and witnessed the identity of a black-robed man who seemed to be the Black Tiger Gang's internal ghost with Wu Meng. ”
"What did you say?" Tahoe, shocked.
At the same time, the people next to him, after hearing the news, were all shocked, they looked at each other, whispering and not knowing what they were talking about.
Ji Jianyong suddenly stepped forward and said, "This is true. ”
Tahoe then became alert again: "How can you prove that what you said is true?" ”
Wei Ziheng smiled slightly, then looked at the Wu Mengzi beside him and said, "Similarly, how can you prove that what I said is false?" There are thousands of avenues in the world, thousands of skies and horizontals, up to the nine stars, down to the Yellow Spring, but the truth is the only one, you can judge it. ”
Ji Jianyong, once ruled out the possibility of the two Wei Ziheng brothers in the meeting, after all, these two are his own people, and they invited him to Wu League, not to mention that the identities of these two are also very clear, if there is any falsehood in this, it is really a bit strange.
Ertian, at this time, also happened to rush to Ji Jianyong's residence, and when he saw the tension in front of him, he hurriedly said: "Everyone, what do you mean by this? ”
Taihe, with his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, looked at Ji Jianyong deadly: "If that's the case, then ask Gongzi to come with me." Go to that little courtyard and see if what you say is true? ”
Wei Ziheng still maintained his calmness and composure in the face of Taihe's aggressive posture, and he said extremely gently: "Then it will be troublesome for Lord Tai to lead the way." ”
The atmosphere of the scene was temporarily relieved for a while, and a group of people came to the conference hall with doubts, in the small courtyard next to it.
Taihe, who seemed a little polite at this time, stretched out a hand to look at Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi and said, "Two, please come in and let's talk about it carefully." ”
Sun Qi whispered in his ear at this time: "What do you say this guy wants to do?" ”
"This person is inconsistent on the outside and inside, he is a ruthless character, if he is nailed like this again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get out." Wei Ziheng replied in a simple whisper.
In this small courtyard, a group of important principals of the Wu League suddenly gathered.
Taihe, first loudly announced to Wu Meng some of the evidence and conjectures he had discovered, and also showed his suspicion that Wei Ziheng was an internal ghost.
After these words were spoken, the emotions of many Wu League elders present were instantly aroused, and the quiet courtyard suddenly became lively and noisy, and for a while, there were different opinions, and the voices of opposition and agreement, including other guesses, continued to fluctuate.
The conjecture that Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi may be internal ghosts has actually existed before, but because the identities of the two seem to be too likely, they will not mention it later, but the evidence that appears now seems to point all the fingers at these two people, but the credibility of what Wei Ziheng said before was greatly reduced at this time, and the remarks that spread all over the world for a while rushed to Wei Ziheng and the two.
Wei Ziheng looked at this group of people quietly, pointing fingers at himself, and he said without changing his face: "Have you finished discussing?" Can you tell me a word? You are all my elders morally, and you should respect you in two parts, but I don't want you to be aggressive because of this. What's the use of putting so many empty shelves on me?
Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase, and you have to pay the price for your words and deeds. The height of the mountain is unfathomable, the depth of the water is unimmersive, this Wu League, for me, is just a treasure land, I have no intention of passing through this, but how to set off this kind of wave, what do you think? ”
Tahoe shouted loudly and signaled everyone to be quiet: "Everyone, are you losing face in this discussion?" Wei Ziheng Xiaoyou, from beginning to end, you didn't add up to your words, why did you say so? If the evidence is conclusive, we will deal with it, not your unashamed chatter here. ”
Wei Ziheng looked at Sun Qi's somewhat bruised appearance, and immediately understood that this kind of somewhat vulgar scene was really irritating, and he simply revealed some details of what he had seen: "Everyone, I was lying on the eaves and listening to the conversation in the small courtyard last night, and their conversation mentioned a very dangerous signal, that is, the current Yue Wang Bushou. ”
Ji Jianyong's eyes trembled slightly, sitting on the chair without moving, Ertian's appearance was similar to Ji Jianyong's, it seemed that they had expected it a long time ago.
"You might as well tell the truth what you heard, and if you are true, maybe you can really clear your suspicions." An elder of the Wu League said with some hostility.
Wei Ziheng coughed deliberately twice, and then said: "Actually, there are no details, mainly because King Yue wants to eradicate you, and it is uprooted, yesterday's action is just a part of King Yue's plan, the conversation between the two, I didn't listen to it very clearly, and some of the main content was not revealed, only said that when the East Window incident happened, this inner ghost, he would take the initiative to appear, and what old friends to say?" I don't know about that. ”
Between the words, the conversation was clear, there was neither coercion nor cowering, Wei Ziheng was very good at talking, and the three leaders of the Wu League couldn't say anything for a while, just silently looked at the appearance of the group of elders in front of them.
Another elder stood up and said, "Then I ask you, what evidence do you have to clear your suspicions?" ”
Wei Ziheng sneered again, and then said in the same tone: "The same words, I will salute you again, what evidence do you have to wash it up?" Wu Meng's traitor is now in this courtyard. And I believe you also understand that this traitor's power in Wu League is not small! It's not something I'm a newcomer can know. Please take a good look at it. Watch out for which of you has a fox tail exposed? Wei Ziheng then looked at the elders with an extremely contemptuous look.
Ji Jianyong sat on the chair at this time, supported his chin with his right hand and said, "Here I would like to thank you two again for your contribution to our Wu League yesterday. Since there are fragments of your clothes left on this roof, then please ask the second person to temporarily reside in Wu Meng! You two rest assured, Wu Meng will not endanger your lives for the time being. ”
This is not overtly house arrest.
The more Sun Qi saw the group of people in front of him, the more he felt a trace of disgust, he hated the struggle for power, perhaps under the influence of his father, she felt quite disgusted with these complicated etiquette and political matters, he simply stood aside, standing quietly, without making any expression, nor making any look.
Wei Ziheng thought for a while and said, "I'm actually very confused, why did I come at this time?" What about that Yang Sheng's senior? He's got a lot more time than I do, and you shouldn't doubt him. ”
"It's impossible that with my knowledge of Yang Sheng, how could I do something to betray Wu Meng?" The elder continued to be imposing, and he still said aggressively.
"I'm sorry, it's possible that everyone here now is a mole. He may be someone who has only recently come into contact with Wu Meng, or he may have been dormant for a long time. In this case, I will listen to the words of the Lord of the Wu League, and stay here, I see if you have anything else to say? ”
The situation that was originally unfavorable to him was changed in an instant, and the simple and powerful words instantly made this group of gossiping elders dare not take the next sentence. Exposing yourself in front of this group of people, exposing everything you can do, so that you don't hide anything, but will make people who suspect you have no reason to continue to post, which is the so-called doing the opposite.
At the same time, the internal affairs of the Wu League were also fiercely discussed here, and the two of them stood alone on the side, looking at the chatter and discussion of the large group of people in front of them, and seemed to understand that this Wu League was even more disunited than they imagined.
Ji Jianyong is more balanced, he doesn't want to see anyone, or the power of the group within the Wu League growing, he is very deliberate to maintain this delicate relationship, so that he does not threaten the position of his own alliance leader, and at the same time can better manage the Wu League.
Taihe, although he has a big temper and a strong ability to do things, some important things in the Wu League, including personnel transfers and some military matters, are all handed over to him to manage, and he has a strong strategy in coordinating manpower. Wu Meng basically left some actions related to the outside world to him to deal with.
At the same time, on the other hand, the last one, Ertian, usually does not talk much, but his ability to do things is no less than that of Tahoe, in general meetings, he will not express his opinions very directly, but absorb everyone's ideas. Although he has a lot of power, he is a little transparent in front of many people, and all internal affairs of the Wu League are basically under his unified command.
The relationship between these three people is sometimes intimate, sometimes distant, checks and balances and checks each other, and the Ukrainian League is operating day after day under this ingenious relationship.
