Wei Bao politely said to Xiong Zhaoqi, Xiong Xin'er, and Yang Xue and Yang Xue's brothers: "How many of you can also go to my official hall to sit down?" I'm more airy there, it's cool, sober up and then go. I'll have you in a wagon. ”

Not everyone in the capital can use a carriage and ride a sedan chair, but Wei Bao, as the chief official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, has this privilege and can call the bus of the yamen.

No one dared to say anything.

"No need, thank you for your hospitality, we should go back." Yang Xue said coldly.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, knowing that she had politely rejected Yang Xue's desire to help her brothers get official positions just now, this girl must be jealous of herself.

However, Wei Bao didn't take it to heart at all, and said to Xiong Xin'er and Xiong Zhaoqi: "Miss Xiong, Brother Xiong, what about you, do you want to drink some tea in my official hall and sober up?" ”

Wei Bao's words made the Xiong family brothers and sisters a little embarrassed, they came with the Yang family brothers and sisters, and now if they don't go together, it's a bit bad, but Wei Bao is their benefactor again, Wei Bao has already made an invitation, so it doesn't seem to be good to leave like this.

Wei Bao is such a shrewd person, he immediately saw the embarrassment of the Xiong family brothers and sisters, and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't want to drink tea, I'll send a car to take you home now." ”

"I want to stay and have some tea, brother, how about it?" Xiong Xin'er suddenly said, "I still want to talk to Master Wei about my father's case." ”

Xiong Zhaoqi was stunned, and Yang Xue was also stunned, but she didn't expect that Xiong Xin'er took the initiative to accept Wei Bao's invitation to stay.

"Okay, okay." Xiong Zhaoqi said. Xiong Zhaoqi has no opinion on whether to stay or go, he mainly knows that his sister and Yang Xue have a good relationship, the two of them play together, and now that the girl of the Yang family is leaving, he originally thought that his sister would definitely go with him.

Sure enough, Xiong Xin'er chose to stay, which annoyed Yang Xue a little, Yang Xue walked quickly towards the door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yang Xue's brothers followed quickly.

"My lord, shall I arrange a car to deliver them?" Guo Wenliang hurriedly asked.

Wei Bao nodded, and walked towards his official hall, he knew that it was estimated that with Yang Xue's character, even if a car was arranged, Yang Xue would not sit, this was a girl with super strong self-esteem.

Wei Bao could even imagine that Yang Xue must have mustered up the courage to arrange official positions for her brothers just now, and he must have thought that he would agree, he faintly felt that this Yang girl might have a good impression of him, maybe because of his perfunctory, he annoyed her, and made him hate because of love?

So easy to love, so easy to hate, Wei Bao is funny to the girls of this era.

"Master Wei, my father originally had a chance to come out, but Wang Wenyan made it bad." Entering Wei Bao's official hall, Xiong Xin'er couldn't wait.

She really wanted to discuss her father's case with Wei Bao.

Wang Wenyan is an important figure in the Xiong Tingbi case, born as a prison official, clever and chivalrous, and strategic, because of self-theft by prison guards, he fled to Beijing, and later defected to Wang Anmen. and Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and Wei Dazhong are very close.

Yu Yuli of Langzhong of the Criminal Department sent him to Beijing to investigate, bought him as a prisoner with money, and turned the three parties of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang into two parties with small actions, and brought them down. Since then, the Donglin Party has been dominant.

Under the support of Ye Xianggao, the head of the cabinet of the Donglin Party, the official was promoted to the middle scholar. and the East Palace companion Wang Anxiang acceptance.

During the Taichang and Apocalypse years, he relied on Liu Yixian in the outer court, and relied on Wang An's support in the inner palace.

In September of the first year of the Apocalypse (1621 AD), Wang An died, and Shao Fuzhong, the Cheng of Shuntianfu, impeached Wang Wenyan.

was impeached by Yushi Liang Menghuan and was arrested and imprisoned.

After acquittal.

After the Donglin Party was weak, he was imprisoned by Wei Zhongxian, and was tortured and interrogated by Xu Xianchun, the eunuch Jinyiwei in the Five Biao.

Wei Bao listened to Xiong Xin'er's words and didn't answer, he didn't care about the truth of the facts, he was wondering if there was any obstacle to him saving Xiong Tingbi.

Wei Bao's first consideration is not whether it is good for himself, as long as there is no too bad impact, even if he spends a little more money, Wei Bao is willing to help the Xiong family brothers and sisters rescue their father, Wei Bao, in general, is really kind-hearted.

If there is no too bad impact, Wei Bao has to consider how likely it is to be rescued, if there is really no hope, isn't it in vain?

In the Ming Dynasty, there were two "Liaodong Economic Strategies" before and after, who were talented and strategic, but they both died in the "treacherous" government. One is Yuan Chonghuan.

The other is Xiong Xin'er and Xiong Zhaoqi's father Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi is also famous.

There is a sentence in "The Biography of Xiong Tingbi in the History of the Ming Dynasty": "Abandon the market in August of the fifth year, and pass on the first nine sides." It is said that after he was executed, his body was abandoned in the wilderness, and his bloody head was passed on to various border gates by the imperial court to show the public, so as to achieve the purpose of "warning education".

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, those who guarded the territory of Liaodong had the saying of "three masters", which were Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, and Yuan Chonghuan.

However, these three people were all excluded and suppressed, and even died. If any one of the "Three Heroes" was trusted and reused, how could the Manchus sit big and easily enter the customs? History may have been rewritten.

"Liaodong Three Heroes", Xiong Tingbi was the earliest, and it was at the beginning of the rise of the Later Jin. Its merits in guarding Liaodong have many positive evaluations from historians.

"The Biography of Xiong Tingbi in the History of the Ming Dynasty" records: "Xiong Tingbi, the word Feibai, Jiangxia people. In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, the township test was the first. Next year, he will become a jinshi".

Xiong Tingbi was born and died from 1569 to 1625, a famous military general, the word Feibai, also known as non-white, called Zhigang, Huguangjiangxia people.

History books say that Xiong Tingbi is courageous, knows military affairs, and is good at shooting. When he was young, his family was poor, herding cattle and studying, but he worked hard to memorize and work hard.

In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli (1597), Xiong Tingbi was the first in the township test, and he was a jinshi in the following year.

In view of the fact that Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated and the border defense is troublesome, he advocated the implementation of military cantonments, the construction of forts, the impeachment of generals, and the great improvement of military discipline.

However, his plan of "repairing the border and building forts and defending as the battle" was at odds with Yang Haozhi, who was the economic strategy of Liaodong at the time, and was later excluded and transferred to the post of superintendent Nanzhili.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the famous Battle of Salhu occurred, and the 470,000 troops commanded by Yang Hao of Liaodong were defeated.

After the court discussion, Xiong Tingbi was promoted to the right attendant of the military department and the right to the imperial history, replacing Yang Hao as the Liaodong economic strategy, so that the Liaodong war situation of the Ming Dynasty was greatly shocked. "From the people's hearts to the heart."

Xiong Tingbi guarded Liaodong and made great contributions. In the end, he was questioned for many reasons.

According to what Wei Bao has learned so far, it can be summarized as three reasons.

First, the replacement of the Son of Heaven. The second is the harm of partisanship. The third is Xiong Tingbi's own character.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this is one of the characteristics of all dynasties, and the Ming Dynasty is no exception.

Xiong Tingbi was reused in the Wanli Dynasty, although the Wanli Emperor said that he had been resigned for many years, but he still trusted Xiong Tingbi.

Wanli's principle of employing people is also not to use suspicious people, and not to use suspicious people.

There is no doubt that before Wanli's death, Xiong Tingbi's policies were unreservedly supported by Emperor Wanli.

Some people even believe that Emperor Wanli and Xiong Tingbi were "confidants in military strategy".

Because of this, Emperor Wanli specially gave Xiong Tingbi Shangfang the sword to "value his power".

In fact, during the Wanli period, Xiong Tingbi was slandered and attacked by the officials, and there was never a stop, especially in the short period of time when he was guarding Liaodong, and all kinds of impeachment were heard endlessly.

However, the Wanli Emperor never listened. He supported Xiong Tingbi's suggestions and propositions.

This can be seen only from the simple "Biography of Xiong Tingbi in the History of the Ming Dynasty".

All Xiong Tingbi's instructions to the Wanli Emperor are recorded as "Slip in, report the permission", "Slip in, the emperor follows it." ”

Emperor Wanli once replied to Xiong Tingbi for the impeachment of Yanguan, and said a very interesting thing. He said: "The corruption of the Liao affair is caused by the local officials' playfulness, Xiong Tingbi is bent on reviving the brush and restoring the feudal territory, and I rely on it deeply. Today, the situation is very urgent, how can I give up my previous efforts when I am relieved of my shoulders! Loyal to the work, and the ministers work together, without being hindered by people's words".

In this passage, it can be seen that the Wanli Emperor had a "deep dependence" on Xiong Tingbi and a "serious speech" for an important minister. In particular, the sentence "no one can hinder it" is even more heartfelt and determined.

According to the popular words, it means that you can rest assured, let others say go, everything is okay, do it according to your ideas, I support you.

It is said that before Wanli died, he was seriously ill, and he still paid special attention to Xiong Tingbi, and he could not watch other performances, but Xiong Tingbi's performances were treated differently, and they had to be reviewed one by one.

It's a pity that Emperor Wanli's protection ended soon. On July 21, the 48th year of Wanli, Mingshen died. Mingguangzong succeeded to the throne, and less than a month later, he also died.

Ming Xizong Zhu was enthroned by the school.

Yanguan Wenchen immediately sharpened his sword Huo Huo and attacked Xiong Tingbi in groups.

Since the first year of Taichang, the remarks attacking Xiong Tingbi have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, swarming out, "slandering Tingbi for abandoning the collective strategy and being independent".

Wei Bao knows that Liaodong is a place where the limelight is made, and it is also a crater.

A little bit of achievement can spread throughout the entire court, and a little bit of fault can completely demonize a normal person.

It can be said that most of the content is a rehash of the same old tune, but the problem is that the emperor has changed.

After all, Ming Xizong is not Xiong Tingbi's confidant, he sent a military department to Zhu Tongmeng to investigate, this person, who is fair, admitted Xiong Tingbi's achievements in Liaodong, but because Xiong Tingbi had "whipped the yarn hat" for the impeachment, his conclusion has a sentence "Tingbi's merit is in Liao, although the micro-labor is disciplined; The sin is in the king, and there is no escape from righteousness. This is a sin that is a matter of merit." There is merit, but the yarn hat has the emperor's grace. A "sin is in merit", and Emperor Xizong sent it home. "Go to the court to discuss Yun Tingbi, and Yuan Yingtai will be replaced."

As a result, Yuan Yingtai, a civilian official who did not understand military affairs, became the strategy of Liaodong, which directly led to the fall of Shenyang, and he himself was defeated and died.

The second reason for Xiong Tingbi's bad luck is that Xiong Tingbi accidentally got involved in a party dispute.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the government was corrupt, there were many parties, and party disputes arose.

Led by Gu Xian, the former minister, a group of officials from the lower field gave lectures at Wuxi Donglin Academy and satirized the government. Some incumbent officials, such as Zhao Nanxing, also echoed each other from afar. Hence the name of the Donglin Party.

At the same time, another group of officials and gentry formed the Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuan, and Kunming parties.

These parties contradict each other and exploit each other.

Among them, the Donglin Party is the most powerful.

At first, it was a dispute between the Donglin Party and the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, and later it evolved into a dispute between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party.

By the time of the Ming Xizong Apocalypse, the Donglin Party gained power, and the Zhejiang, Kunxuan, and various parties were ostracized.

As a result, the eunuchs headed by Wei Zhongxian formed an alliance with some of the parties in Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuankun, and were called "eunuch parties" by the Donglin Party.

It stands to reason that Xiong Tingbi was originally a member of the Chu Party, and he was not a member of the Donglin Party.

However, Yang Lian, a representative of the Donglin Party at that time, and others broke through the view of the door, and had said good things for Xiong Tingbi on the military and other issues in Liaodong, and Xiong Tingbi also had a good personal relationship with the so-called "Six Gentlemen of the Donglin Party" later.

All this is the root cause of his ultimate murder.

Perhaps, the idea of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, who is known as "nine thousand years old", is also simple, and if it is supported by political enemies, we must resolutely oppose it.

The history of the Ming Dynasty said: "In the first year of the Apocalypse, Shenyang broke, Ying Tai died, and the courtiers reconsidered Tingbi." In other words, as soon as Yuan Yingtai died, the war situation in Liaodong was urgent, "the fireworks were cut off, and the Beijing division was shaken".

The whole court is up and down, and then I think of Xiong Tingbi. Some people even sighed: "Let Tingbi be in Liao, it shouldn't be here." So, Xiong Tingbi was summoned out of the mountain and reinstated the Liaodong Economic Strategy.

However, the eunuchs were not at ease, and when they were "building a team", they matched him with a governor named Wang Huazhen.

This person, Ming Shi commented: "He is ashamed of being a man, he has never practiced soldiers, he despises the enemy, and he is good at words." The civil and military generals did not enter the admonition, and they were especially at odds with Tingbi. ”

Although Xiong Tingbi is the strategy of Liaodong, he has no substantive military power. It is said that the only people he could mobilize were the 5,000 people he brought with him when he left Beijing.

Wang Huazhen, on the other hand, holds real power, and he is so happy and blindly aggressive, which is very different from Xiong Tingbi's "defensive strategy".

The history of the Ming Dynasty said: "Tingbi is the main guard, saying that the Liao people are unavailable, the west is not reliable, Yongfang is not credible, and Guangning has many spies." Turning chastity into everything, on the contrary, never keep your word. ”

After all, today's Liaodong is no longer the Liaodong of ten years ago.

It should be said that Xiong Ting's strategy is correct.

However, although the relationship between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen is superior-subordinate, Wang Huazhen believes that there are people in the court and does not take Xiong Tingbi in his eyes at all.

All this directly caused the defeat of Guangning and the loss of Liaodong.

The defeat of the army was questioned, and the court was furious. Naturally, it is necessary to give an order to dispose of the generals of the defeated army.

Wang Huazhen's responsibility is the main one.

The history of the Ming Dynasty recorded: "In February, Huazhen was arrested, and Tingbi listened to the investigation."

One is to arrest, and the other is to investigate.

Obviously, there was a difference in the court's convictions for the two.

However, the final decision was "Tingbi, Transform Chastity and Die".

At this time, another incident occurred.

is what Xiong Xin'er said to Wei Bao now, Xiong Tingbi asked Wang Wenyan to bribe Wei Zhongxian in order to save his life, the amount is not small, 40,000 taels.

However, Xiong Tingxiong is not a corrupt official, he can't take out the money at all, "just carry it".

So, "Wei Zhongxian hated it and vowed to kill Tingbi as soon as possible."

The third reason is Xiong Tingbi's personality. Ming Shi said: "Tingbi is seven feet long, has the courage to know soldiers, and is good at shooting left and right. Since the Liao is to hold the border discussion, to the main guard of the royal Yijian. However, he is rigid and negative, good at abuse, not subordinate to others, and does not attach much to the situation. ”

This evaluation is very vivid. In other words, Xiong Tingbi's temper is not very good, talented people are probably like this, and they are particularly easy to get excited when they encounter problems, and they offend many people because of this.

Of course, some people are offended unintentionally.

For example, in the matter of Yao Zongwen, it was only Xiong Tingbi who did not intercede for him when he was filling the vacancy, and he ended up with Liangzi.

When Xizong was first established, some people "impeached the eight who had no plans for the court and the three who bullied the king", and some people said that he was derelict in his duties in Liaodong. What was Xiong Tingbi's reaction? "The Biography of Xiong Tingbi" said that "Tingbi is angry, resists and discriminates, and begs to stop", "Tingbi is angry, and then self-explanatory", and even publicly "habitual yarn hat".

When it comes to excitement, "anti-sparse and angry", even if the emperor is present, he never taboos.

But whenever someone is impeached, Xiong Tingbi always has to defend himself.

He can't hold any criticism in his stomach calmly.

Therefore, it left a deep impression on the Manchu ministers that he did not listen to any opinions at all.

Xiong Tingbi "is shallow and rigid, has a touch, adds up to the vigor, and the court is disgusted."

Emperor Wanli is here, and he can be tolerated.

If Emperor Xizong is replaced, he will naturally look extremely unhappy.

The contradiction between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, although the responsibility lies with Wang Huazhen, Xiong Tingbi is also responsible.

He doesn't seem to look down on Wang Huazhen at all. When talking to subordinates, sometimes I don't pay attention to proportion.

Xiong Tingbi opposed Wang Huazhen's military strategy, and he couldn't stop it, so he filed a complaint, and his words were also very ugly, and he left no room for it.

Wang Huazhen was naturally dissatisfied. When Wang Huazhen was defeated, the two met and "cried". It can be seen that Wang Huazhen is remorseful.

Xiong Tingbi said, "Smile and say: 60,000 people were wiped out in one fell swoop, what is it? It made Wang Huazhen embarrassed, "ashamed", and did not save face at all.

When the two of them were held accountable by the imperial court, Xiong Tingbi was still the same and had a bad attitude; In contrast, Wang Huazhen was guilty, but he had a good attitude and wept bitterly.

All of this shows that Xiong Tingbi is a person who does not know how to be an official.

Arrogance is dangerous in officialdom at any time.

After all, not every leader is open-minded.

"I didn't keep Liang Menghuan, the imperial historian who reported your father, and now he hasn't been allowed to go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate on an errand." Wei Bao said to Xiong Xin'er and Xiong Zhaoqi's brother and sister.

When the brother and sister heard Wei Bao say this, they were very moved and thanked them again and again.

"Please, Master Wei, as long as I can save my father, I am willing to do anything, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse for Lord Wei for the rest of my life." Xiong Xin'er said.

Wei Bao is a little moved, Xiong Xin'er is a beautiful girl, if she is willing to stay by her side as a concubine for the rest of her life, she is willing to be replaced by any man, right?

It's just that Wei Bao knows very well that maybe he won't cause much trouble when he speaks for Xiong Tingbi.

The problem now is that Wei Zhongxian's attack on the Donglin Party must overturn Xiong Tingbi's case.

Wei Zhongxian started to fight the Donglin Party from Xiong Tingbi, and one of the most important reasons was that the emperor hated Xiong Tingbi very much.

Why does the emperor hate Xiong Tingbi? Because, during the Battle of Quang Ninh, Xiong Tingbi's mistakes made the emperor feel unforgivable.

Because, Xiong Tingbi's mistakes are largely the result of his willfulness.

Therefore, the emperor was extremely disappointed in Xiong Tingbi.

This is the specific information that Wei Bao has obtained about Xiong Tingbi so far, not only Wei Zhongxian can't tolerate Xiong Tingbi, but the main thing is that the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, himself doesn't like Xiong Tingbi.

A person who is not liked by the emperor, if he wants to be saved, then he really has the ability to go to heaven.

In Wei Zhongxian's opinion, since the emperor hated Xiong Tingbi very much, as long as the Donglin Party and Xiong Tingbi were linked, it would be easy for the emperor to support them in fighting the Donglin Party.

Also, not only does the emperor hate Xiong Tingbi, but in fact, the common people also hate Xiong Tingbi, and from the perspective of public opinion, it is very difficult for people to understand the dereliction of duty of the commander in front.

No matter how many ordinary people there are, it is impossible for them to dwell on the original situation, most of them are hearsay, and they don't know much about it, what the official statement is, that's what it is.

Since public opinion has no favorable impression of Xiong Tingbi, as long as the Donglin Party and Xiong Tingbi are linked together, it is easy to be supported by public opinion when attacking the Donglin Party.

Xiong Tingbi can become a tall and complete historical figure because he died at a relatively good time; It is also because of the place where he died.

If Xiong Tingbi died in the second year of the Apocalypse, then history's comments on Xiong Tingbi would be completely different.

However, Xiong Tingbi lived for three more years and died at the hands of Wei Zhongxian, so the comments of later history changed.

After Chongzhen became the emperor, someone wrote that Xiong Tingbi's death was very unjust, and Chongzhen did not pay attention to this letter.

Because, Emperor Chongzhen also thought that Xiong Tingbi's death was not unjust.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the edict was exempted from recovering stolen goods. In the autumn, Xu Er, the director of the Ministry of Industry, sued Tingbi for injustice, all of which praised Xiong Tingbi, thinking that Xiong Tingbi was very wronged.

Emperor Chongzhen did not obey.

Later, when Han Yi and others said that Xiong Tingbi died unjustly, they first said that Xiong Tingbi had a lot of credit; However, in the end, it was also admitted that Xiong Tingbi should be beheaded according to the law.

Seeing this statement that Xiong Tingbi's coffin was conclusive, Emperor Chongzhen recognized it.

It was May of the second year of Chongzhen. So "the edict allowed his son to be buried with his head." ”

In fact, from the process of Xiong Tingbi's rehabilitation, we can see that the general people at that time thought that Xiong Tingbi should be beheaded according to the law; Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the deep palace, also thought so.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen overturned the case for Xiong Tingbi, he only admitted that Xiong Tingbi's death was not his crime, but did not admit that Xiong Tingbi's death was unjust.

Xiong Tingbi was killed, and the reason why the clouds covered the fog was mainly because of the blurring of many backgrounds.

Xiong Tingbi was arrested in February of the second year of the Apocalypse, and was killed in August of the fifth year of the Apocalypse.

After Xiong Tingbi was arrested, did the court think he was guilty? Naturally, they all thought he was guilty.

Because, Wang Huazhen's dereliction of duty is due to a problem with his ability; Xiong Tingbi's dereliction of duty was a child's play on military affairs.

And it can also be seen from the charges against Xiong Tingbi at that time. It is widely believed that Xiong Tingbi is more unforgivable than Wang Huazhen.

Even in the early years of Chongzhen, when someone wrote that Xiong Tingbi died very unjustly, Chongzhen was unwilling to deal with it.

Because, Chongzhen also thinks that Xiong Tingbi died unjustly.

It wasn't until Han Yi and others first admitted that it was not outdated for Xiong Tingbi to be beheaded according to the law and pass on the head of the nine sides, that the emperor accepted their other comments on Xiong Tingbi. In other words, merit is merit, and transgression is transgression; The two cannot be mixed; Although Xiong Tingbi's death was not his crime, it did not prove that Xiong Tingbi was not guilty.

Why hasn't Xiong Tingbi been killed in those three and a half years?

Because, judging from the content of the verdict against Xiong Tingbi at that time, Xiong Tingbi's crime was also a capital crime in any era and place. As a high-ranking official, because of personal grievances, he ignored the interests of the overall situation and deliberately allowed the situation to expand, which is not simply a dereliction of duty that can be explained.

Later, why did Xiong Tingbi change from the death penalty to a suspended death sentence?

That is, Xiong Tingbi saved himself from being killed by bribing himself.

deceived Wei Zhongxian and said that he would take out 40,000 taels of silver!

Xiong Tingbi wanted to use the middleman Wang Wenyan, a politician who had a decisive influence on the Donglin Party, to take the line of the inner court and bribe Wei Zhongxian with 40,000 taels of silver.

As a result, Xiong Tingbi's death sentence was changed to a suspended death, and the inner court did not receive the relevant money.

It is usually believed that Xiong Tingbi is trying to survive, so he asked Wang Wenyan to fool Wei Zhongxian and help him say a few good words to the emperor.

Wei Bao felt that this statement was very unreasonable.

Because the officials were arrested, the family actively rescued them through various connections, which is extremely normal.

Of course, it's natural to spend some money along the way.

However, the matter of empty mouth and white teeth and indiscriminate promises of money should not happen.

Because, it's not that Wei Zhongxian will be annoyed and angry when he encounters this kind of thing, but which official will also be angry when he encounters such a thing.

In other words, if you ask someone to help you and ask for money with empty teeth, aren't you dying yourself?

Therefore, from a common sense point of view, the people in Xiong Tingbi's family, when rescuing Xiong Tingbi, should not dare to ask for money with empty teeth and white teeth.

The point is that even if the people in Xiong Tingbi's family dare to do this, the middleman Wang Wenyan will not do the same. This kind of transaction, although it is not on the table, but you spend money, I do things; I've done it for you; The money you promise, you must honor.

Otherwise, the consequences are obvious, he Wang Wenyan also has to die, why should Wang Wenyan accompany you to die? .

Wang Wenyan is from the Donglin Party, and Xiong Tingbi is from the Qichu and Zhejiang Parties, people of two lines.

Therefore, when the middleman Wang Wenyan is doing things for Xiong Tingbi, he will also weigh whether Xiong Tingbi can come up with this money.

Therefore, Wei Bao feels that the question now is, why didn't Wei Zhongxian receive this money?

"I've already said that saving your father is beyond my ability, so I can't answer you casually. Now there are no outsiders here, Li Chengnei is my brother, a good brother who shares life and death with me. Tell me directly, have you ever given away 40,000 taels of silver to 9,000 years old? Wei Bao asked.

This is the core issue, and it is also the one he is most concerned about.

Xiong Tingbi has no silver at home, but after all, he is a high-ranking official at the first and second grades, and it is not impossible to get silver.
