Chapter I

After Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he fled to his hometown Chen Liu overnight, and told his father the original story, asking the old man to pay for his own army, and his father said that he had little money and could go to a person named Weizi to help. So Cao Cao went to Wei Zi's house to ask for help, and after listening to Cao Cao's generous speech, Wei Zi agreed to his request, and used all his wealth to help him buy clothes and armor, and recruited 5,000 warriors, Cao Cao then had his own armament and began to gallop the world. In the most embarrassing time, it was Wei Zi who helped him, and later Wei Zi died in Xingyang, but Cao Cao's kindness to the Wei family did not disappear because of Wei Zi's death. Wei Zi's son Wei Zhen was named the Yellow Gate Squire, and later transferred to the Prime Minister's Mansion Hu Cao Peng.

The Wei family relies on the power of the court, and it is also a powerful situation in the business world, compared with the time of Wei Zi, the family property has increased many times, and the prestige and status of the Wei family at this time far exceed that of Wei Zi when he was alive.

Cao Shuangtie sat on the seat with a blushing face, and Yuan Lie and Li Jue stood under the hall with their heads down, not daring to breathe.

"I have always told you, be calm, be calm, be calm in everything. Have you taken my words to heart? Cao Shuang lowered his voice and scolded fiercely, "Since you found that the other party is very big, why do you insist on offending them?" You said you would save people if you saved them, what else did you bring her back for? It's a sin for people to rob people's daughters, but it's not a crime for you to abduct people's girls? Cao Shuang tapped the table with both hands and tapped his temples, a little crazy.

"I ......" Li Jue wanted to defend himself, but was stopped by Yuan Lie, Yuan Lie pulled Li Jue's clothes, and shook his head solemnly.

Cao Shuang saw all this in his eyes, and sighed heavily, "Just stay in the house for the past few days, don't go anywhere." "After all, they are brothers who have been together for many years, and Cao Shuang can't be too strict and hurt the hearts of all the brothers.

After exiting Cao Shuang's room, Li Jue was a little angry, "One person does things and one person is responsible, I just have something to carry." ”

Yuan Lie knocked Li Jue the head, and reprimanded him with hatred that iron is not steel, "Can you bear it?" Do you know what kind of existence Chen Liuwei's family is? After speaking, Yuan Lie left in a huff, leaving Li Jue in a daze.

"Father, the child is incompetent and cannot maintain the reputation of our Wei family." The pink-faced boy knelt on the ground and cried to the middle-aged man in the main seat. The words are all blaming themselves, and there is not a single sentence to blame Li Jue. just blamed himself for his incompetence and inability to maintain the reputation of the Wei family, so that Li Jue trampled on the Wei family.

The middle-aged man sitting on the throne is the contemporary head of the Wei family, Cao Peng, the prime minister's house, Wei Zhen. Listening to the pink-faced young man's words, Wei Zhen's brows were twisted together. The lintel of his guard's house was built by his father's life, and he worked hard to bring it back, and no one can despise it.

"Tong'er, you get up first, what have you done? Why was Wei San killed? Wei Zhen asked the pink-faced boy to stand up and reply, although he was furious, he still tried his best to restrain himself. What kind of character this son of his, Wei Zhen knows very well in his heart.

The pink-faced boy is Wei Zhen's eldest son, Wei Tong, and the big man who was killed is Wei San, the domestic slave of the Wei family. Wei Tong is dignified, his face is like a crown of jade, and he is graceful, but he has a restless heart. When he stayed in his hometown, he was a merry lord, and he didn't cause trouble for him. If it weren't for Chen Liu's chief officer to give Wei Zhen face, Wei Tong would have died a few times. Wei Zhen took Wei Tong to Xuchang this time in order to put Wei Tong beside him for training. When he came to his father's side, Wei Tong restrained a lot and stayed at home honestly. In the past few days, Wei Zhen has been busy with official business, and he didn't take care of Wei Tong, and Wei Tong has long been suffocated. At the instigation of Wei San, he went to wander on the street, who knew that he met the little girl, who knew that the old mistake was committed, and this is the story behind.

"The child and Weisan were walking on the street and noticed that a girl suddenly fainted, so we hurriedly went up to check." Wei Tong lowered his head, his eyes rolling, "At this time, the girl woke up, and we were mistaken by the girl for a villain, so the girl shouted." Originally, Wei San wanted to come forward to explain, but who knew that he was beaten to death by that person. Wei Tong almost said it with a crying voice, and that expression made people feel pitiful.

Wei Zhen snorted coldly, he didn't even believe the punctuation marks of the story this son said.

Seeing his Lao Tzu like this, Wei Tong was secretly frightened, and hurriedly changed the topic, it was time to make some surprises. "Later, the child reported the name of our Wei family, but who knew that the man despised the Wei family very much and beat us up. If it weren't for the child's efforts, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you grow old at this time. ”

"What did the man say?" Wei Zhen ignored Wei Tong's words and continued to ask.

Wei Tong wiped the sweat from his forehead, swallowed his saliva and said, "That person said that the Wei family is some kind of bullshit, but he just relied on scattering all his family wealth to get to the top." After wearing human skin for a few days, I still think I am a person. ”

"Enough!" Wei Zhen slammed the teacup on the table to the ground, his eyes were gloomy, making people feel cold through the bone marrow.

Seeing that Wei Zhen was angry, everyone in the Wei family hurriedly knelt down, "Father (head of the family) is angry!" ”

"This matter is over, whoever dares to talk about it again, be careful of his tongue." Wei Zhen got up and flicked his sleeves, left a sentence and left.

"No!" Everyone replied in unison. Judging from everyone's cautious attitude, Wei Zhenzhi's family can be seen.

Back in the study, Wei Zhen sat in his seat and fell into deep thought, he didn't believe Wei Tong's words. But Wei Tong's words evoked Wei Zhen's memories and hit Wei Zhen's pain points. Since his father died in Xingyang, Cao Cao has treated the Wei family well, and his official position has been promoted again and again, and Wei Zhen has worked very hard to not disappoint Cao Cao. It's just that no matter how hard he tries, Wei Zhen doesn't accept his colleagues very much. Because he came from a bad background, a businessman, and a humble status. Over the past few decades, he has walked on thin ice and suffered many white eyes, which he will never forget in his life. That difference in identity, that kind of contempt is deep in the bones, and it will not disappear with Wei Zhen's official promotion.

"Master of the family, the master has arrived and is waiting for you." Butler Wei Zhong's words came from outside the study, interrupting Wei Zhen's memories.

"I'll go right away, you're going to serve for your life." Wei Zhen got up and tidied up his appearance, and instructed Wei Zhong outside the door.

The moment he opened the door, Wei Zhen swept away the gloom on his face, smiled all over his face, and walked quickly towards the living room. When I came to the living room, I saw a young man, dressed in a green robe, sitting on a seat, sipping fragrant tea, with a faint smile on his face.

"I don't know that the master and son are here, Wei Zhen is not welcome, and I hope that the son will forgive his sins." Wei Zhen hunched over and walked in.

Before anyone heard his voice, the blue-robed young man known as the master and the son hurriedly got up, greeted Wei Zhen, and helped Wei Zhen, "Uncle is really tormenting the little nephew, it's too tormenting for the child." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries and took their respective seats. Wei Zhen was very polite, and asked the young man in the green robe to sit first, and then he took a seat himself. Wei Zhen held all his subordinates back and instructed Wei Zhong that no one should approach.

"I don't know what the master is doing when he comes to the cold house?" Wei Zhen was Cao Peng of the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, but he didn't dare to take the young man in front of him at all, because the young man was Sima Yi's son - Sima Shi. Although Sima Yi was the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, and his official position was slightly lower than Wei Zhen's, he did not dare to despise Sima Yi at all. Wei Zhen's ability to understand people was inherited by his father Wei Zi, and he felt that Sima Yi was ambitious and not something in the pool.

"I heard that Wei Gongzi was slightly injured, and I am here to deliver medicine." Sima Shi said and took out a small green porcelain bottle from his arms, "This is a good medicinal powder, which can be used internally and externally, and the effect is very good." ”

Wei Zhen hurriedly got up and thanked Sima Shi, "That guy who is not angry, he is tired of his master's care, and he has thanked his master for the dog." ”

Sima Shi smiled slightly and returned the salute.

"Uncle, do you know who injured your son?" Sima Shi took a sip of the tea in the cup and asked with concern.

"It happened suddenly, I don't know." Wei Zhen smiled awkwardly and answered Sima Shi's question.

Sima Shi looked at Wei Zhen in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, thinking back to his father Sima Yi's words, Wei Zhen is very good at being a man, as expected. Putting down the teacup in his hand, Sima Shi opened his mouth and said, which can be regarded as solving Wei Zhen's doubts, "It is the famous Cao Mansion Eight Friends of Xuchang." ”

"I see." Wei Zhen's face was full of surprise at first, then his expression was gloomy, and he lowered his head, "Dogs are used to wandering, and they lack discipline since childhood, so it's better to let people discipline and discipline me for me." ”

"Uncle, this is a difference! Wei Gongzi has just arrived in Xuchang, and he doesn't know much about the situation in Xuchang, so it is inevitable that there are some inconsiderate places. But some people have been in Xuchang for many years, how can they not understand the rules. I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, my uncle can't be so calm. Sima Shi secretly called out to the old fox, and then spoke generously. Sima Shi's meaning is very clear, this is not a simple fight, this is someone riding on your head to pull the stink.

Wei Zhen's eyes quickly flashed with an imperceptible gleam, and the fox's tail was finally revealed. The purpose of Sima Shi's trip is already clear, and I am afraid that the matter is far from being as simple as sending medicine.

"Alas, this is still the case, more is better than less." Wei Zhen sighed and said helplessly.

Seeing that Wei Zhen had said this, Sima Shi was very anxious. This Wei Zhen is really slippery, and he is very rigorous in his speech. After drinking the tea in the cup and admiring the tea, Sima Shi got up and arched his hand, "It was my nephew Meng Lang just now, and I hope my uncle won't take it to heart." There are still some things at home, and my nephew said goodbye first. ”

Seeing Sima Shi get up and leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to see him off. Before leaving, Wei Zhen also gave Sima Shi a pot of tea to thank him for sending medicine. Sima Shi, who came out of the side door, got into an ordinary carriage and drove towards the downtown area. Sima Shi, who was sitting in the carriage, crossed his hands, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and muttered, "The urn is ready, waiting for Junyin." ”

After sending Sima Shi away, Wei Zhen held the green porcelain vase in his hand and half-squinted his eyes, "Sima Yi, what are you doing here?" If you want to use me as a sword, I'm not stupid enough to do that. Sima Shi's words are very clear, that is, to ask Wei Zhen to go to Cao Shuang to regain face. Wei Zhen is not a fool, what kind of demon Cao Shuang is, he knows it very well in his heart, but he is afraid that he will not be bitten by a snake if he fights a snake. No matter what grievances Sima Yi and Cao Shuang had, Wei Zhen decided not to get involved. When immortals fight, it has always been mortals who have been injured.

Summoned Wei Zhong, Wei Zhen handed him the porcelain bottle, "Give this medicine to Tong'er, take it internally and externally." ”
