"Wei Gongzi is a smart person, I don't need to say more about this, right? Since Hou Lixing is Lizheng, you Wei Gongzi has convicted a Lizheng, and you are not an official family, why are you? There will definitely be people who say right and wrong, and you will offend all the rich people in the entire land of Liaoxi for this, understand? Generally, this kind of thing can be solved by the rich with some silver, everyone has benefits, and harmony is the most important thing. Wu Xiang said: "After solving this lawsuit, I will state Wei Gongzi's merits to the Wei Command Envoy, and ask the imperial court to give Wei Gongzi a commendation, in addition, I personally promise to give Wei Gongzi a reward of 1,000 taels of silver." I know that Wei Gongzi has a big family now, so he shouldn't look down on this bit of silver, which can be regarded as his heart. ”

Wu Xiang's words are not leaky, and they have been thought of in all aspects, which is very convincing.

Wei Bao smiled indifferently: "Listening to Lord Wu's meaning, I don't plan to speak for the dead Zhao Laosi and his son!" ”

"Where in the world is there so much justice. Wei Gongzi is still too young. Wu Xiang smiled bitterly: "Don't say that you Wei Gongzi is just a person, you don't have an official body, even if you are the first assistant of the imperial court, how can you stand up for justice for a few people?" If the whole world is black, can one person wash it white? I am a normal way to solve the problem, do what I say, everyone can understand, can agree, otherwise, Wei Gongzi is a feud with all the gentry in Liaoxi, because everyone is in danger, everyone will hate Wei Gongzi because of this. ”

Wei Bao fell into deep thought.

"Wei Gongzi, I know that you are afraid that the locals will say that you are unjust, afraid of power, you are anxious to prove yourself, you want the local law and order to be clear, and the road will not be left behind, and the door will not be closed at night, right? This is easy to do, haven't you not announced the facts of the case now? When the case is over, I will definitely find someone to cut off the head, and it will be good to wait for the follower. When the time comes, everyone will be able to get by. Wu Xiang said with a smile.

Wei Bao sweated, Wu Xiang wanted Hou Dayan to be a scapegoat, and people reported and exposed, which should have been meritorious, this is really too dark. Although these teachings are not complicated, it is easy to think of them with Wei Bao's mind, but it is still disgusting to really hear it with his own ears and see the birth of this kind of unjust, false and wrongful case with his own eyes.

Wu Xiang saw that Wei Bao still didn't speak, and said with a smile: "Wei Gongzi, I promise you, as long as you hand over Hou Lixing to me, I will immediately withdraw the team of officers and soldiers placed in Weijiazhuang, and in the future, everything in Weijiazhuang will be handled by you Wei Gongzi, which is equivalent to giving you local power." I Wu Xiang can do what he says, how about it? Let's uncover the past. ”

Wei Bao raised his head in shock and looked at Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang is indeed a person who does great things, at least he can be said to be a very successful businessman, very generous, he is in a high position and takes the initiative to bow down and reconcile with himself.

In the face of such an amazing bait, Wei Bao was tempted, what is himself? It's just like Wu Sanfeng said, just a small people, in addition to a Xiucai identity, in the landlord class of the Ming Dynasty, nothing is anything, Weijiazhuang has a vast area, and he also has some silver in his hands, but he has not really entered the ranks of the Ming gentry, and people have not recognized him, no matter how much silver he has, he has no social status.

In the eyes of Wu Xiangzu Dashou and others, there are not even Hou Lixing, Zhao Kehu, Bai Pengfu and other people who have been positive for a period of time have social status.

How, exactly?

Wei Bao really felt that it was difficult.

"Does Lord Wu want to get back the gold you lost to me?" Wei Bao asked.

"I don't force this, if you lose, you lose." Wu Xiang said with a smile: "Wei Gongzi is willing to return some, naturally it is good, this matter is erased, at most, everyone is no longer hateful, if you want to establish friendship, you must spend some silver, you come and go." Wei Gongzi has this kind of ability to judge cases, and there are many opportunities to get silver in the future, whether it is Shanhaiguan or Yongping Mansion, there are often some cases that even the main owner can't find, if every case can find the main owner, it can be clearly broken, and the silver will not be less. ”

Wei Bao nodded, Wu Xiang's meaning was very clear, this was to accept himself and introduce himself into the landlord class and gentry class in Western Liaoning, if he took the opportunity to ease relations with Wu Xiang this time, he would really be a person from the upper class of Western Liaoning, and he would really be based on himself from now on.

Wei Bao was curious why Wu Xiang suddenly changed so much?

After thinking about it for a while, he understood that Wu Xiang was very afraid that he would really make the case public, and then execute Hou Lixing with regional folk customs, in that case, Hou Lixing's case would shake the entire Liaoxi, and even the entire Liaoxi and Liaodong, and even affect Beizhili!

Although it is only a lizheng, it can break the backwater of the privilege monopoly of the big landlord class, and this case may also make everyone doubt the Wu family's dominance in western Liaoning, and it is very likely to have a domino effect and reshuffle the power group in western Liaoning.

Wu Xiang wants to assimilate himself and win himself over.

Wei Bao, who was originally ambitious and wanted to change the bright and bright pair of today, has not yet become a leader and has not officially embarked on the road of power, so he began to make difficulties.

From the perspective of personal interests, he agreed to Wu Xiang to join the stream and develop his own power rapidly, which is the best policy.

But from the heart, from the perspective of standing in the interests of the people, from his own heart that comes from the bottom of the society and has been trampled and oppressed for a long time, this is a knife, if he really does this, Wei Bao feels that he is not letting go of himself, but losing himself.

Wei Bao's hesitation actually made Wu Xiang feel good, where would Wu Xiang really recommend Wei Bao to enter the upper class society in western Liaoning because of a case of Hou Lixing? It is to give Weijiazhuang autonomy, and to take him to accumulate prestige and make money? It's all words, draw cakes for Wei Bao, deceive Wei Bao, stabilize Wei Bao first, and get Hou Lixing's case into his own hands first.

The repetition and ruthlessness of the official, a face the next day, changing his face faster than turning a book, this is all pediatrics.

After the case was deceived, Wu Xiang had 10,000 ways to prevaricate Wei Bao, not retreating the officers and soldiers who were placed in Weijiazhuang, still blocking Weijiazhuang's business routes, and not allowing Wei Bao to do business in western Liaoning.

Wei Bao obviously has little to do with these old foxes in officialdom, and he is still too tender.

Wu Xiang had a good impression of Wei Bao because Wu Xiang saw Wei Bao's hesitation and Wei Bao's mood of wanting justice, which is very commendable, the world only has interests in the eyes, who would ignore interests and only seek justice? That shows that Wei Bao also has a pure heart like a teenager.

"Wei Gongzi, I can understand your feelings, you want justice to be served, and you want Hou Lixing to be punished as he deserves, which is good. But letting him go bankrupt because of this is also sanctioning him. Wu Xiang said with a smile, "In the final analysis, people are born in Lizheng, if Hou Lixing is sentenced or sentenced to death, it will make the entire gentry in western Liaoning collectively humiliated, what will the people think of us local celebrities in the future?" What will the big gentry from other places think of our big gentry in western Liaoning? Our gentry in western Liaoning have become a joke, do you have a light on your face Wei Gongzi? Okay, okay, don't hesitate, let's just decide, at noon today, let's have a good drink, and I will take people back to Shanhaiguan in the afternoon. ”

Wei Bao raised his head violently, and his clear gaze shone on Wu Xiang: "No, Lord Wu, I still plan to follow the usual practice and have the local villagers referendum!" I know what the case has happened and the evidence is conclusive, but I still let go of the real murderer, my personal emotions can't accept it! ”

Wu Xiang was stunned for a moment, he had just said so much, thinking that Wei Bao had listened to it, with Wu Xiang's understanding of Wei Bao, he knew that Wei Bao was the material for doing business, and the people who did business were all sharp words, Wei Bao's decision this time really shocked Wu Xiang's heart and was surprised.

"Wei Gongzi, I have said all the good things, what a good opportunity for you this time? Wait for the case, I will get you a reward from the court, take this opportunity to help you gather all the big families in Liaoxi to come over, and you will return some of the gambling money you won, and then, from now on, you will be the same as everyone, you are an upright gentry in Liaoxi! Why do you have to stand up to the crowd? Wu Xiang was puzzled.

"Lord Wu, I appreciate your kindness! I have just said very clearly, I know the facts of the case, and the evidence is conclusive, but still let go of the real murderer, my personal emotions can't accept it! I'm afraid that after I really do this, I will often dream of Zhao Laosi's father and son in the future, and I will have nightmares for the rest of my life. Wei Bao said.

Wu Xiang sighed: "Master Wei, there is no need to say these words!" You are a man, not a woman, go early and go late, sooner or later you have to take this step. Didn't you take the Xiucai exam, you must still want to take the exam, take the Jinshi exam, and what is the purpose of the scientific exam? Isn't it just to be an official? After becoming an official, don't you have to encounter these things sooner or later? Since you have to face it sooner or later, why can't you figure it out now, like this, I don't force you, you go and discuss it with your parents and elders again to see if what I said is wrong. ”

"No need to negotiate." Wei Bao suddenly felt a little embarrassed to face Wu Xiang, "I know that no matter how many people you discuss, most of them will definitely agree with Lord Wu's approach!" ”

Wei Bao has thought about the question of democracy, is it democracy what most people say? Most people are likely to be violent in public opinion, right? If you don't have your own point of view and follow the crowd in everything, this is not the golden mean, this is a mediocrity.

Wu Xiang's patience was exhausted, and he frowned: "It seems that I am looking at the wrong person, you are still too young, and you have a young heart." Wei Gongzi, if you insist on doing this, if you say smaller, you are the enemy of the gentry of Liaoxi, and if you say bigger, you are the enemy of the whole world, do you understand? Do you really think you are the reincarnation of Bao Qingtian? Bao Qingtian also has to sit in the position first before he has a chance to be Qingtian. ”

"Lord Wu, I understand the truth, I may compromise on other things, but this is a matter of my conscience, there is no way. I see life as a practice, no matter where I return my soul after death, but when I am alive, I hope that every day I will have a clear conscience and live openly. Wei Bao said sincerely.

Wu Xiang sneered: "Master Wei, what you said is too big, too fake, you go and ask the millions of people who starved to death in winter, are they frank?" Do they have a clear conscience? If you practice in your life, you must first be able to live better, and then you can talk about other things on this basis, if you offend the gentry in the entire western Liaoning, everyone will be killed and then quickly, what else do you talk about in practice? If you like to practice so much, it's better to become a monk and live as a Taoist. ”

"......" Wei Bao was speechless.

This is the first heartfelt communication between Wei Bao and Wu Xiang: "Then if one day, the world of the Ming Dynasty cannot be saved, will you surrender to Jiannu?" ”

"Then I will keep the festival for Daming! Never take refuge in the barbarians! But if the world of the Ming Dynasty really can't be saved, the dynasty is exhausted, and when it is time to change the dynasty, I will not hold on to the Ming Dynasty, I will obey the new emperor! Let's not talk about this topic, there are only you and me here, and I will have a heart to you! The key depends on how others do it, as long as they can do the same as most people, or even slightly better than them, it is enough to have a clear conscience, not everyone can become a saint! If you Wei Bao want to do business, if you want to be an official, you can't be a saint! The saint must not be promoted to an official or earn money, the saint can only travel around with a clean breeze and recruit disciples, and if the disciples of the saint want to be officials, they must not hold the same set as the saint, but must be on par with us laymen! I believe that with Wei Gongzi's intelligence, he should be able to understand my words, right? Wu Xiang said.

Wei Bao gritted his teeth: "Okay! I'll hand over all the criminals to Lord Wu for disposal! What is Master Wu going to do? ”

Wu Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly thought that this Wei Bao was really eccentric, and he thought for a while, "It's very simple, secretly bring it back to Shanhaiguan for trial, not open to the court, minimize the influence, squeeze out all the silver in Hou Lixing's hands, get someone from Hou Lixing's side to confess, sentence, and the case is over." Everyone was happy. ”

Wei Bao smiled bitterly, is this considered a joy for all?

"I have a small request." Wei Bao Road.

Wu Xiang nodded: "Wei Gongzi, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Since you want to be black, you will be black to the end, after squeezing out Hou Lixing's silver, create an accident and let Hou Lixing die! You can't cure him on the surface, and you can't let him escape justice secretly! made people die of violent illness, this point, Wu Dagongzi is an expert. After everyone died, all the corpses were returned to Weijiazhuang. I will collect their bodies. Wei Bao said indifferently: "Weijiazhuang is isolated from the outside world, and everyone will naturally get a wake-up call when they see that everyone is dead, and they will not be entangled in how you are judged." ”

Wu Xiang smiled: "It's simple, although it's a little unkind, but I promised Wei Gongzi!" ”

After Wei Bao made this decision, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Xiang actually secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this Wei Bao had become a big trouble in his heart.

Originally, Wu Xiang wanted to engage Wei Bao, and there were 10,000 ways, but now it is not peaceful outside the border, Jiannu is making a lot of noise, the officials are busy fighting, and Zu Dashou can't get out of his way to deal with Wei Bao, so he can't use force against Wei Bao and Wei Jiazhuang for the time being, so he can only outwit him.

If Wei Bao really refused to hand over Hou Lixing's case to him, he would be even more troublesome than Wei Bao.

Wei Bao and Wu Xiang went in for a long time, and it was already noon.

Wu Sanfeng was very anxious: "I don't know what my father has to say to this Wei Bao?" I think that eighty percent of that kid doesn't know how to lift up, and he refuses to hand over Hou Lixing to his father. ”

Wu Sanfu nodded and said: "I guess so, Wei Bao is not an easy person, and he insists on refusing to hand over Hou Lixing, eighty percent of them want to avenge the deceased, he has no relatives with the deceased, and he is willing to stand up for other people's affairs, it is really rare, if he is an official, he may not be a good official." ”

"Hmph, he's pretending, you don't know, Wei Bao can pretend best." Wu Xuexia couldn't help but complain.

Wu Sanfeng said a little frustrated: "If Wei Bao really refuses to hand over Hou Lixing, it will really be a troublesome matter." ”

Although in front of Wei Bao, Wu Sanfeng was very stubborn, but Wu Sanfeng was just a little violent, people are not stupid, and they also know that with the strength that the Wei family has accumulated today, they are afraid that it will not be useful.

If Wei Bao really tried Hou Lixing in the township and killed Hou Lixing, such a big thing would not be able to spread throughout Liaoxi in less than half a day, and it would be spread throughout Liaodong tomorrow, and at that time, everyone would know that there is a place called Weijiazhuang in Liaoxi, and there is a large area of territory, and those who do not listen to the Wu family and do not buy their Wu family's accounts, then the prestige of their Wu family will plummet!

Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia also understand the stakes, but no one can do anything, and they can only wait for the result for now.

Wu Xuexia glanced at Wang Qiuya, who was standing at the door of the conference room, Wang Qiuya was wearing a straight military uniform and had been standing straight.

The straight and close-fitting military uniform completely shows the advantages of Wang Qiuya's good body curve.

Wang Qiuya seemed to realize that Wu Xuexia was staring at her, her face flushed, and she turned sideways slightly.

"Brother, there are many people in Weijiazhuang who are wearing strange things, what is the woman next to Wei Bao wearing? It's like the clothes of Mongolian women, but Mongolians and Jiannu don't seem to have this way of wearing? Who do you say she is Wei Bao? Wu Xuexia asked Wu Sanfu softly.

Wu Sanfu smiled: "I don't know, why are you asking this?" Isn't she Wei Bao's personal maid? also pretended to be a scholar and accompanied Wei Bao to Shanhai Academy to study, have you forgotten? I guess these clothes should be made by Wei Bao, who likes to do some strange tricks. ”

Wu Sanfeng heard what the two people said, and said: "This is Wei Bao's clever place, this kind of clothing is very similar to the riding clothes of the Mongols and Jiannu, our Ming clothes are indeed not as convenient for riding and shooting as Hufu when they are fighting, you see, Wei Bao even usually lets the people under him wear it like this, even the women wear it like this, what does this mean?" It shows that this guy's ambition is obvious! Otherwise, the people under his command are raised like the army, what are they doing? Otherwise, on the ground in western Liaoning, who would dare to do it against our Wu family like him? If I had followed me, my father should have made it clear to the court that Wei Bao had rebels as soon as possible, and had accused him of treason as soon as possible, and everything would have been peaceful! ”

When Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia heard this, they looked at Wu Sanfeng in surprise, they didn't expect that the eldest brother would have this kind of thought, saying that Wei Bao had antipathy, they didn't agree, with Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia's understanding of Wei Bao, at most they felt that Wei Bao was a little ambitious, but that ambition was never so big as to rebel.

"Big brother, don't talk nonsense, there is no evidence to say this kind of thing, don't make a fuss." Wu Sanfu persuaded.

Wu Sanfeng snorted, "Tell me what you're afraid of?" You wait and see, if Wei Bao dares to fight against our Wu family again this time, Dad will never give up! And in my opinion, Wei Bao's stinky temper, since he hasn't talked about it for so long, he must have collapsed. ”

While Wu Sanfeng was talking, Wei Bao and Wu Xiang opened the door of the conference room together very affectionately and walked out together.

"Lord Wu, when my people find Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law, I will hand everyone over to Lord Wu." Wei Bao laughed.

"No hurry, no hurry." Wu Xiang said with a smile: "Now I will let the officers and soldiers stationed in Weijiazhuang be withdrawn, and there are people like Wei Gongzi who are in charge of the place, what am I worried about?" ”

Originally, Wu Xiang planned to use words to coax Wei Bao to hand over Hou Lixing and others to him first, and as for whether to withdraw the team of officers and soldiers stationed in Weijiazhuang, we will talk about it when the time comes.

But Wu Xiang thought about it and still felt that it was over, a team of people was stationed here to spy on Wei Bao and find fault with Wei Bao. But Wei Bao has now shown such a strong ability to adjudicate cases and judge cases, so it makes little sense to send people.

As soon as Wu Sanfeng, Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia saw that the two of them were so close, they knew that the two had reached some kind of tacit understanding, which was a good talk.

Wu Sanfeng was very surprised, he didn't expect this situation to be the case, he couldn't figure out why the talks took so long, originally he thought that after talking for so long, the talks must have collapsed.

Wu Sanfu was surprised, but more than that, he was happy, he sincerely wanted to see Wei Bao and his family have a good relationship, Wu Sanfu not only regarded Wei Bao as a close friend, a close friend, but even wanted Wei Bao and his sister to become a pair.

When he proposed to Wu Xiang to recruit Wei Bao as his son-in-law, it came from Wu Sanfu's mouth.

Wu Xuexia was not happy or unhappy about this situation, but she was surprised and felt that it was not bad. Wu Xuexia didn't want to see Wei Bao suffer in her heart.

"Sanfeng, you let Wu Dashan take his people to prepare, and when we escort Hou Lixing back to Shanhaiguan in the afternoon, let his people follow along, and there will be no need to send people to Weijiazhuang in the future." Wu Xiang instructed Wu Sanfeng.

"Yes, Daddy." Wu Sanfeng respectfully agreed.

Wu Xiang smiled at Wu Sanfu and said: "Sanfu, don't look at Wei Gongzi is a few years younger than you, not as old as Xuexia, but you really want to study hard with Wei Gongzi, Wei Gongzi is indeed a rare talent in Liaoxi." ”

Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "What Daddy said is that I said that Wei Gongzi is talented, and his son is not as good." ”

Wei Bao hurriedly said: "Lord Wu, Brother Sanfu, I have passed the award, where do I have any talent." However, Lord Wu is really eloquent and strategic, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, if it is not for the protection of the people of Liaoxi, he can't be separated, and he must enter the court, he is the first assistant talent. ”
