Luoyang, Caifu.

Wei Qian knelt on the straw mat in a daze, looking at Wei Zhongdao who had been put into the coffin by his family, the crossbow arrow pierced into his brain had been pulled out by the doctor, and the wound had been cleaned up, but the blood hole that had dried up was still very eye-catching, and his round eyes had long lost focus.

The healer tried to stitch it with a needle and thread, but Wei Qi refused.

His younger brother is blind to death, people nowadays believe in ghosts and gods, Wei Qian is a Confucian student, and he does not believe in the words of strange forces and gods, but Wei Zhongdao's appearance of death is blind, but he believes that this is caused by the second brother's spirit and too much resentment.

In the side hall, the maids had already gone to rest, and the silent darkness outside the door seemed to swallow everything, only Wei Qi knelt next to the corpse coffin, and in his bloodshot eyes, there was a suppression of ignorant karmic fire.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Wei Zheng looked at Wei Qi who was kneeling next to the corpse with some fear, and slowly walked to Wei Qi's side like an angry little daughter-in-law: "Brother, are you looking for me?" ”

"Sit!" Wei Qi pointed to the straw mat in front of him, and in his indifferent voice, without the slightest emotion, in this silent night, there was another corpse coffin parked in front of him, which was really a little infiltrating.

"Yes." Wei Zheng was already afraid of Wei Qi, but today Wei Qi had an indescribable depression all over his body, which made him even more afraid to disobey, and sat obediently in front of Wei Qi according to his words.

Wei Qi didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, as if he was about to devour him, and an indescribable sense of depression made Wei Zheng seem to be about to breathe.

"Brother, what are you ...... these days" Wei Zheng opened his mouth to say something, breaking through the oppressive atmosphere.

"Smack~"

Wei Qi suddenly stretched out his hand, and when Wei Zheng was unprepared, a slap was slapped on Wei Zheng's face, this slap was very hard, and the crisp slap sound echoed in the empty and silent mourning hall, Wei Zheng was directly slapped and lay on the ground, covering his face with one hand, and looked at Wei Qi in a daze.

"Sit!"

Wei Qi didn't speak, just pointed to the straw mat again.

"Big brother, I didn't do anything, you ...... this"

"Smack~"

"Why?"

"Smack~"

In the silent mourning hall, the crisp slap sound kept ringing.

"Enough!" Wei Zheng didn't know how many slaps he received, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the slap from Wei Qi, and roared a little angrily, half of his face had been swollen, and he looked quite hideous at the moment.

"Smack~"

Wei Qian changed his hand and flicked it in his face again.

"What the hell am I wrong!?" Wei Zheng stood up and roared at Wei Zheng dissatisfiedly.

"Do you know how your second brother died?" Wei Qi raised his head and looked directly at Wei Zheng, with something Wei Zheng had never seen before, at this moment, he felt that it was not Wei Qi who was kneeling in front of him, but their father, and when his father was angry, he also gave people such a feeling.

"Killed by masked bandits passing by." Wei Zheng said depressedly, the government said so, and the family members who came back also said so.

"Bandits?" Wei Qi showed a disappointed expression on his face, shook his head and sighed: "You are so stupid, why didn't you die?" ”

"Brother, I'm ......" Wei Zheng looked at Wei Qi incredulously.

"The housekeeper said that there are two bandits, one person and two passengers, and the action is simple and decisive." Wei Qi looked at Wei Zheng: "If it is a bandit, he will only ask for money, and although my Wei family team is not much, there are nearly 100 people, ordinary bandits, let alone two, it is two hundred, in this Heluo land, they may not dare to rush into my Wei family, the bandit has never been greedy for my Wei family's property, after the killing, he left decisively, without the slightest hesitation, it is clearly for the second brother, it has been six days, but you can't even see these?" ”

"This ...... So what? The government has already ordered a sea fishing paperwork...... "Wei Zheng looked at Wei Qi dissatisfiedly, but when Wei Qi looked at it, his momentum suddenly weakened, and his voice gradually lowered.

"The location is in the west of Luoyang City, less than ten miles away from Luoyang's official road, since the Yellow Turban army failed to attack Luoyang, His Majesty attaches great importance to the security of Luoyang, how can ordinary bandits commit crimes here?" Wei Qi ignored Wei Zheng and continued.

"But what does it have to do with me? All we have to do is catch the murderer? "Wei Zheng doesn't understand, does this have anything to do with beating himself?

"That day was also the day that Ye Zhao left the city, on the eve of leaving the city, Tingwei came to investigate, because the princess intervened, so that Ye Zhao was freed, and the next morning, Ye Zhao left the city, and his general, one person and two rides." Wei Qi continued expressionlessly: "The time is after the fifth watch, and the second brother was killed in Chenshi. ”

Wei Zheng was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, looked at Wei Qi in horror and said, "Brother is saying that Ye Zhao harmed the second brother!?" ”

Wei Qi didn't speak, but the look of disappointment on his face became a little thicker.

"It must be him, he hates me for exposing him, and he happened to meet the second brother after going out of the city, and shot the second brother directly! This person is hateful, I will go to the government to expose him! He turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Wei Zheng's voice came from behind him, and Wei Zheng's body instinctively stiffened.

"Brother, since you know that it is Ye Zhao's poisonous hand, why don't you inform the government?" Wei Zheng turned his head and looked at Wei Zheng in puzzlement.

"Third brother......" Wei Qi slowly stood up, looked at Wei Zheng and sighed: "You are self-contained, stupid, and unenterprising, I don't blame you!" This family, supported by my father, with me and your second brother, although my Wei family is not as strong as before, but you can afford to raise a waste, but there is only one thing, you should not make enemies for the family. ”

"Brother, I didn't ......" Wei Zheng's swollen cheeks were a little red, and he was even more ashamed, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Wei Qian.

"That Ye Zhao came to Luoyang, it has nothing to do with you and me, he is a disciple of Cai Weng, although there were some misunderstandings in the past, but the Wei family and the Cai family are about to get married, and Ye Zhao is not without room for reconciliation, but you have pushed out a talent who could have been included in the door wall of my Wei family." Wei Qi looked at Wei Zheng, shook his head and sighed.

"What kind of talent is he?" Wei Zheng said unconvinced.

"He doesn't count, he just served as the mayor of Macheng with a weak body, in three years, Macheng has more than 10,000 household registrations, he just defeated Xianbei and Wuhuan several times, and by chance, killed Xianbei Shan Yu, he just served as Suiyang Order, broke a few small cases, and made Suiyang rich, he just used hundreds of people to expel the Yellow Turban thieves when the Yellow Turban thieves were in turmoil, step by step, turning the tide, recovering the Liang State, and forcing the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans who were able to defeat the Huangfu Song General to retreat, and relieved the siege of Changshe."

Wei Qi took a breath and looked at Wei Zheng and said, "He is not a talent, but if you do these things, as long as you do one, my Wei family can put you in the position of Taishou!" ”

"I ......" Wei Zheng looked at Wei Qi's eyes, and he couldn't say anything.

"Even if there was no Chun Yuqiong that day, if it wasn't for your provocation in the restaurant, no one in Luoyang City would recognize him, and Tingwei would not come, you say, if you are Ye Zhao, who do you think should be blamed for this matter?" Wei Qi didn't give Wei Zheng a chance to defend himself, and continued to ask.

"But he shouldn't have killed his second brother!" Wei Zheng said unconvinced.

"You think it's just revenge?" Wei Qi sighed, the look of disappointment on his face was gone.

"Isn't it?" Wei Zheng frowned.

"This is your strength, not Ye Zhao, he sees farther than you, after this incident, he has no possibility of reconciliation with the Wei family, even if he is willing, the Wei family will target him, because you have completely offended him, the Wei family will find a way to cut him off in order to avoid him from growing in the future, so he never wants the Wei family to be stronger, but the Wei family wants to marry his mentor, Cai Weng, once the second brother and Zhao Ji get married, if he wants to be an enemy of the Wei family in the future, there will be a lot of constraints, so the second brother is dead, this knot can't be done, The marriage between the Wei family and the Cai family does not exist, even if he and my Wei family face each other in the future, Cai Weng may not be able to stop it. Wei Qi said indifferently.

"He is just a son of a good family, and with the identity of Cai Weng's disciple, he has today's status, how can he compare with my Wei family?" Wei Zheng said with some disdain, this is an era that pays attention to his background, Ye Zhao's background is destined to be incomparable with himself, as Wei Qi said before, any performance that Ye Zhao has made in the past five years, if it is put on him, it is enough for him to become a taishou, and Ye Zhao is only an acting minister so far.

"That was before." Wei Qi shook his head: "After the Yellow Turban Thieves are in turmoil, the Son of Heaven will reward meritorious deeds, and Ye Zhao will have enough status to fight with my Wei family." ”

Five years ago, he was just a nerd, and it was Wei Qi's idea to let Ye Zhao serve as Ma Chengling, such a nerd with a weak physique went to the frontier, not to mention Hu Kou, even the harsh climate in the north could kill him, who would have thought that he not only did not die, but became stronger and stronger, and now, he is a character that even the Wei family has to face, and such a character, but under the impetus of many things, he finally stood on the opposite side of the Wei family.

"In this case, it should be reported to him, he killed his second brother, and the law of the country will not tolerate him!" Wei Zheng was puzzled.

"What credentials do you have?" Wei Qi shook his head, he was too lazy to express his disappointment, but said lightly: "He killed the enemy in front, it is impossible to kill the enemy thousands of miles away, you know that he was in Luoyang at the time, but others don't know, although Tingwei dispatched, but did not find him, when the time comes, not only can he not sue him, but he will also fall into a jealous and jealous ability, framing Zhongliang, and bullying people, although you have a lot of such infamy, but my Wei family can't afford it!" ”

"So that's it?" Wei Zheng said with an unwilling face.

"Naturally, I can't be counted, I have already asked someone to go and open my eyes, and soon, I will be out of office." Wei Qi sighed, if there is chaos today, the general trend has not been seen clearly, he didn't want to be out of office so quickly, but now, with the rise of Ye Zhao, among the three generations of the Wei family, only he can provoke the Wei family, so he must be out of office now, at least to protect the Wei family. 8)
