Chapter 158: The High Arch Troublemaker

Zhang Juzheng reached out and helped me up. Said: "Lord Lan. I'm going to take care of that. I'm the same year as your uncle.' Friendship's affection is not shallow. Even if I don't have a relationship, I'll take care of it. Lang Lang Qiankun. At the feet of the Son of Heaven. Who dares to arrest people at will. And it's also a fourth-grade official who arrested my ministry. Although the old man is not in the ministry. But as long as it's a matter related to the country's society. I can't just sit idly by."

"That Lord Zhang. You see what people do it. My father-in-law won't be in any danger."

"This matter has something to do with the old horseman of the high arch. Today my mentor Master Xu. Have resigned. The emperor also gave permission. The high arch became the first auxiliary. Your father-in-law and I are both students of Lord Xu. This is the high arch in revenge on us. In the past, the high arch has been in the Ministry of Rites. It was a noble place with no real power. That's better than the ministers. It controls the promotion and advance and retreat of officials in the world. It seems that Gao Gong wants to take down the officials. It's just this old puff. Act so. I don't care about the emperor's feelings at all. A four-rank official. He said he would take it away."

"Master Zhang. These are the people who went to arrest my father-in-law. I don't say anything about the 'door'. I don't say what crime I was charged with arresting my father-in-law. It's really weird."

"Lord Lan. Don't panic. I have an idea in my mind. Let that high arch bounce for a few days. Lord Wei will be fine. Gao Gong and Gao Dashan, the commander of the Shence Army, are fellow villagers. I guess it's him through the tall mountains. Took your father-in-law away. He was high-arched and clever and confused for a while. It doesn't matter what crime your father-in-law committed. All have to pass through Dali Temple or Shuntianfu. How could he cover the heavens with one hand? My mentor left the cabinet. But there's still me.' Privately, send troops and horses to death."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. On behalf of my mother-in-law, I'm here to thank Master Zhang first." I knelt down again and kowtowed. Now for Zihan. It doesn't matter if I'm three or four points lower. Do so. In order to make Zhang Juzheng unable to let go.

"Alright, Lord Lan. Do you and I still need to be so polite? Don't just kowtow and kneel down without incident. So you're now the official of the imperial court."

I promised to stand up. I know Zhang Juzheng said that. It's still very useful to look at the 'color' of the face. The more humble I am, the more he helps. At this time, Xu Jiejie left the cabinet. The high arch became the first auxiliary. Zhang Juzheng as a secondary assistant. I definitely don't want to live under people for a long time. The cabinet of the future is who is the world. It depends on who has the most influence. Who's the most people. China has always been a relational society. All kinds of relationships. Intertwined. Form a large chain of interests. If one of them is moved. That is, touching a group. Although this time it is a guess that Uncle Wei Zihan was caught by Gao Gong. But the background inside is not pure. Obviously this is the person left behind by Gao Gong in cleaning up the Xu steps. Secretly. This is Gao Gong challenging Zhang Juzheng's authority.

"Then Lord Zhang, I'll leave everything to you. I'll go back and appease my mother-in-law first. You can't do it without a man in the house. Although we are not yet married. But once engaged. I'm half of the Wei family. I don't care about it."

"Lord Lan, go back. Tomorrow morning towards the morning. I'm going to play it. I'm going to see who's going to jump out of this."

Farewell to Zhang Juzheng. Out of Zhang's Mansion. I asked Chen Lao Er and Liu Lianjiang to go back first. 'handed' Liu Lianjiang went to bed early. Tomorrow I will go to the inn and take Master Ran to Leiyun Village. I just returned to Wei Mansion with Lao Liu.

At this time, it was already after dinner. When I came to the 'gate' of the Wei Mansion. The corner 'door' next to it has not yet closed. Wei Zihan stood at the entrance of the 'door' with a small 'jade' and looked around. I know it's waiting for me to come back.

I dismounted and came to Wei Zihan. Take off the cloak on her body and put it on her: "Zihan is cold now. You don't wear much either. Hurry back to the house. Beware of catching a cold."

Wei Zihan took my hand. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Brother Lan. Zihan is not cold. I don't know what Master Zhang said."

"Alright. Zihan, let's go to the house and say. Auntie is still waiting for us."

I took Wei Zihan's hand. Came to the living room. In the living room, the housekeeper also has a 'waiter' and a 'woman' to accompany Mrs. Wei, who is crying. See us come in. Mrs. Wei also stood up and asked, "Lord Lan. You go to Master Zhang. Nothing turned out of it."

"Auntie. Master Zhang said that he was in charge of this matter. Tomorrow he will give the emperor a recital. According to his estimation, it was Gao Gong who was making trouble behind his back. I just don't know what reason he used to catch his uncle. Aunt think about it. Uncle has received something in recent days. I've seen no one."

"Your uncle usually doesn't tell me anything when he comes back from the yamen. But I came back the night before yesterday with a bag of things. Let me hide it for him. I'll put it in the bedroom. I don't know exactly what's inside."

"Then I'll go with you and see what it is. You guys are waiting here."

Mrs. Wei took me to the bedroom in the backyard. Ordinary bedrooms are not allowed to be entered by outsiders. It's just that I can't care about it so much now. Besides, I'm still their son-in-law.

to the bedroom. Mrs. Wei took out a package from under the bed and handed it to me. I'll take it. When I opened the package, I saw two rectangular boxes inside. I opened one of the boxes. I saw a huge ginseng inside. It looks like there are seven or eight taels. As the saying goes: seven taels are ginseng. Eight taels are treasures. When ginseng grows to eight taels, it is a priceless treasure. It's just that I don't understand. Why did Uncle Wei Zihan take this thing back. And who 'gave it' to him? Is this thing the reason why Gao Gong grabbed him?

But I can't do that much at this point. Let's get this thing done first. I said to Mrs. Wei, who was also 'confused' and 'confused': "Auntie. I'll take this thing first. Can't let anyone know. I went out and found a smaller one to replace it. I'll send you back. You have to hold steady. Think about how much cash and valuable things you have at home."

"I still have more than two thousand taels of silver at home. Valuable things are calligraphy and paintings left by ancestors. You also know. Your uncle is in that seat though. There are many people who come to him for business. But. He also doesn't like to receive gifts. So in addition to some things sent by relatives and friends. Others rarely accept other people's things. I don't know how he came this time. Received such a valuable thing."

"Auntie. Now is not the time to talk about this. You put the cash away. It is enough to leave more than five hundred taels. The rest is packed in a box. At the time of the third watch. I'll let people take it. The family at home should be arranged. Don't let them leave without permission. When you're packing your things. Guard against them."

"Oh well. I'll clean it up now. Your people are coming and asking them to come to the bedroom to find me. I packed up all my valuables. Waiting for them to come."

I carried the ginseng box in my arms. Farewell to Mrs. Wei. Out of the bedroom to the living room. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Who would have thought of such a thing out of thin air.
