Chapter Ninety-Seven: Exposed
"Brother, then Cai Yong is too much!" Wei Zheng pushed the door directly with an angry look on his face, and said in a rough voice to Wei Qi, who was reading at night.
"Rude!" Wei Qian frowned, and glared at Wei Zheng dissatisfied: "Who are you?" An dare to call Cai Gong's name? β
"I ......" Wei Zheng has developed a temperament that is not afraid of heaven and earth since he was a child, even if the elders in the family are helpless against him, but he is afraid of his eldest brother, at this moment Wei Zheng's face sank, and the originally impassioned Wei Zheng's momentum suddenly weakened, and he said indignantly: "Then he can only be blamed for being unfair!" β
"Tell me how it is unfair." Wei Qi asked nonchalantly.
"We visited before, but we were ...... by that Cai Cai Gong sent it away, and he had never even seen him, but I passed by Cai Gong's study before, but I saw Ye Zhao's kid coming out of it, I asked Cai An, and Ye Zhao had already arrived at noon, and saw Cai Gong in the study. β
"What is Ye Zhao's identity? If it weren't for Cai Gong's support, he would just be a good family, Cai Gong ignored us and others, but he was courteous to Ye Zhao, you say, what is the reason? β
Like Cai Yong, such a big Confucian, it is impossible to invite into the study to meet guests, the Wei family is about to marry the daughter of the Cai family, speaking of which, the two sides are already considered in-laws, but the two of their juniors came to visit, and they didn't see Cai Yong so affectionate, plus the daytime events, made Wei Zheng feel that Ye Zhao had lost face, and now he saw Cai Yong not only met Ye Zhao in the study, but even stayed in it for most of the day, which made Wei Zheng very angry.
"So what?" Wei Qi thought for a while and said, "Then Ye Zhao seems to be in the dust, there must be something important. β
"Brother!" Wei Zheng looked at Wei Qi incredulously, and said dissatisfiedly: "That Ye Zhao is the enemy of my Wei family, what happened back then, that Ye Zhao's virtuous uncle not only lost his official position, but also had a difficult family to return, and the younger brother couldn't bear this breath!" β
"And how are you going?" Wei Qi glanced at him and said.
"I'm going to teach him a lesson!" Wei Zheng gritted his teeth.
"Nonsense!" Wei Qi's face turned cold, and his voice suddenly became stern: "Now is the time when Cai Wei's two families are married, Your Majesty is the main marriage, at such a time, if you provoke Cai Gong to be displeased, how can you explain to your father after you go back?" β
"Is that all?" Wei Zheng said hatefully: "Cai Gong married to our Wei family, how could he favor Ye Zhao?" β
"No need to mess around, the second brother will come to Luoyang in a few days, before that, if you dare to cause trouble for me, your father will protect you, and I will also break your legs!" Wei Qi's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"Humph!" Wei Zheng's face changed, knowing that his brother was telling the truth, he didn't dare to be strong anymore, and walked out of the door sullenly.
"Where are you going?" Wei Qi frowned and looked at the direction Wei Zheng left, this was not the direction of returning to the room.
"Go to the winery, do you want to be annoyed to stay here?" Wei Zheng left Cai's Mansion sullenly, and met Cai An on the way, Cai An didn't pay attention to greeting him, and left Cai's Mansion and walked straight to Suzaku Street, the most prosperous in the city.
Although a curfew has been imposed, it is only that no one is allowed to go on the street, and no one will care about it even if there is a lot of noise in some entertainment venues, Wei Zheng has not been in Luoyang for a long time, but these places are clear, and he has met a lot of friends with wine and meat.
After finding a Chu Guan who he frequented, and asking for a pot of wine and a sister-in-law, Wei Zheng didn't go to his friends, and drank wine sullenly alone.
"Brother Shuli, since you are here, why are you drinking here?" Someone found Wei Zheng and came up with a smile and said, "But someone didn't open their eyes and provoked Brother Shuli?" β
"Hey, provoke?" Wei Zheng sneered fiercely: "How can a little person like me, who is not learned and has no skills, be qualified to be provoked by others?" β
"Huh~" When the person heard this, he laughed: "The Wei family is the head of the Hedong Wang clan, and now he wants to marry Cai Gong, who can make Brother Shuli hold his breath like this?" β
Wei Zheng had already drunk a lot of wine at the moment, and he was a lot bolder, so he didn't shy away from hearing it, and sneered: "Cai Gong Gao, Ye Zhao, Brother Chun Yu have ever heard of it?" β
"Ye Zhao?" When the person heard this, a flash of contempt flashed in his eyes: "But from a good family, Brother Shu Li actually suffered from such people?" β
"He's a disciple of Cai Gong, what am I?" Wei Zheng said hatefully.
The visitor turned his eyes and said, "Didn't Ye Zhao fight with the Yellow Turban in Runan?" How could it appear in Luoyang? β
"Who knows? But today I talked with Cai Gong in the study for a long time, and I should have something important. Wei Zheng shook his head.
"Something important?" The person who came narrowed his eyes, and suddenly looked at Wei Zhengdao: "Shu Li wants to be angry?" β
"How?" Wei Zheng was stunned, then shook his head and said: "My brother has instructed, this is the time for my Wei family to marry Cai Gong, don't provoke Ye Zhao, so as not to make Cai Gong angry." β
"Brother Bo Ru is inevitably too cautious, then Ye Zhao is only a disciple of Cai Gong in the end, Cai Gong is a great Confucian in the world, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, as long as we don't do too much, Cai Gong may not be held accountable."
When Wei Zheng heard this, he was a little moved, but his brother was too powerful, and he didn't dare to disobey.
Seeing this, the person who came smiled and said: "If Brother Shu Li is difficult to do, it is better to hand over this matter to the next to deal with it, this matter does not need you and me to come forward, then Ye Zhao is also a commander now, and now he has left his post without permission, as long as the matter is reported to the court lieutenant, the court will ask him for the crime!" β
"This ......" Wei Zheng was a little moved.
"Shu Li, do you know that Ye Zhaoke has left?" The people who came did not give Wei Zheng a chance to think.
"No, stay in Cai's Mansion tonight." Wei Zheng shook his head, he saw Cai An arrange for Ye Zhao to move in.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to me, and I'll take care of that Ye Zhao's suffering!" After the person finished speaking, he didn't care whether Wei Zheng agreed or not, turned around and left.
Wei Zheng was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and he didn't have the heart to drink anymore, and returned to Cai's Mansion with some trepidation, Wei Qi attached great importance to his work and rest, and he had fallen asleep at the moment, Cai's Mansion was also safe and sound, and there was nothing abnormal, and after a little relief in his heart, sleepiness came up, and he didn't bother to care about anything else, so he went straight back to his room to sleep.
Luoyang, Yuan's house.
Yuan Shao got an order from the imperial court today, and he was going to leave tomorrow to listen to the tune under the Huangfu Song's tent, and he was ready to sleep peacefully, but he was woken up by his henchmen, and he asked to see him.
"Zhong Jian came here late at night, what is the matter?" Yuan Shao was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't show it, and when he saw Chun Yuqiong's mysterious look, he asked patiently.
"Brother Benchu, big deal." Chun Yuqiong looked left and right like a thief, leaned over to Yuan Shao's side and whispered: "I saw the Wei family today, but I accidentally learned that Ye Zhao had entered Luoyang at the moment, and I don't know what happened. β
"Ye Zhao?" When Yuan Shao heard this, he raised his eyebrows, he was no stranger to Ye Zhao, two days ago, he came to report from his home, in the Runan area, the yellow turban thieves who were originally raised by the Yuan family were originally used to exchange for meritorious service and Zhang Mu for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to go to the battlefield, but they were beaten by Ye Zhao and fled in embarrassment, and they were in danger, if not, Yuan Shao would not have to be in such a hurry to set off.
Runan's 200,000 yellow scarves, even if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu divide them, it is enough for the two brothers to gain a firm foothold in the officialdom with their meritorious deeds, but now because of Ye Zhao's appearance, they are about to fall short, and the Yuan family in Ruyang is not easy to help the yellow scarves openly, so they have sent letters to the two of them to go on the road as soon as possible in the past few days, so as not to let Ye Zhao take away all the merits.
"Why did he come to Luoyang?" Yuan Shao frowned and asked.
"I don't know about this, but I heard that I stayed with Cai Yong in Cai Yong's study for most of the day, and I'm afraid there is something big to plan." Chun Yuqiong said in a low voice.
"Big deal?" When Yuan Shao heard this, he felt a little irritable in his heart, a good family, but recently he made them uneasy: "What does this have to do with me? β
"I forgot at the beginning, Ye Zhao is now presiding over the war in Runan, if Ye Zhao is left in Luoyang, Ben Zhao will go to Runan at this moment, and this credit is not all original?" Chun Yuqiong said with a smile.
When Yuan Shao heard this, his heart jumped fiercely, if this was the case, then it would not be to share the credit with his younger brother, the credit for the 200,000 yellow scarves was all his.
Liu Pi and Gong are both raised by the Yuan family, and when the time comes, as long as they go through the motions, they will be able to collect 200,000 yellow scarves, this credit, with the family background of the Yuan family, is enough for him to sit in the position of the four major generals, and when the time comes, it will be on an equal footing with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and it will also be very helpful to his career, and he can leave his younger brother who has just come out far behind, even if Yuan Shu is a descendant, he can't compare to him.
"It's just that, will it offend Cai Weng?" Yuan Shao hesitated.
"Originally confused!" Chun Yuqiong hurriedly said: "I only need to hand over this matter to Yu Tingwei to arrest that Ye Zhao, and at the beginning of the starry night, I rushed to Yingchuan and received the military affairs of pacifying Runan, even if Cai Gong held a grudge afterwards, it could be pushed to Na Weizheng, what do you have to do?" β
Hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded and said: "In this way, according to your plan, let Tingwei know about this matter, and arrest Ye Zhao overnight, don't let him have a chance to leave Luoyang, I will set off immediately and go to Yingchuan, if this matter is successful, Shao will remember it!" β
"The relationship between you and me, why do you need to say that, then Qiong will go to the Tingwei Mansion now, take care of my first brother!" Chun Yuqiong was secretly happy in her heart, but her face was serious.
Yuan Shao nodded, and immediately took Chun Yuqiong back to the mansion, wrote a letter, handed it to Chun Yuqiong to take away, packed his bags overnight, and took the guards out of the city.
Don't look at Cai Yong said that he couldn't get out of the city, but in fact, like Yuan Shao's family background, the captains of the city gate are all Yuan's protΓ©gΓ©s, Yuan Shao wants to go out of the city at this time, and he can directly call the city gate open without reporting.
After bidding farewell to the captain of the city gate, Yuan Shao took a group of guards and rushed to Yingchuan.
Soon, Tingwei's Mansion had received the news, and this was Yuan Shao's personal handwriting, Tingwei didn't dare to slack off, so he directly brought people and horses to Cai's Mansion to arrest people.
