On such a sunny morning, it was not only the Patriotic Mansion that welcomed a long-lost visitor. The military mansion also welcomed a guest. Of course, Wei Shangshu, who came the day before yesterday, was not a guest, he was here to ask for guilt. The one who came today is also surnamed Wei, and he is also called Wei Hongji, who joined the army in terms of seniority, and is a clan uncle. Speaking of the same generation as Wei Yi, but his status in the Wei clan is far from being comparable to Wei Yi's peers.

The little guy in the gatehouse of the military mansion was lazily sweeping the steps in front of the door, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, he unintentionally turned his head, but he saw that someone was stationed in front of the mansion gate, and he was being served and dismounted by the scholar who led the horse. When he saw the person clearly, the little guy hurriedly threw the broom, nodded and greeted him: "Shen Ming Gongzi!" Why did you come here early in the morning and not go on a bad day today? ”

Wei Shenming, who was dressed in a dark green official uniform, smiled reservedly at the little guy who greeted him, dusted off his sleeves and walked straight to the military mansion. The little servant stepped aside, bowed down and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation, but no one led the way. Instead, he looked at Wei Shenming behind the gate of the country, and turned around to help the scholar tie the horse.

Wei Shenming entered the mansion and stopped in the courtyard. He didn't come to the military mansion many times, so he wasn't so familiar. Fortunately, a servant immediately discovered him and called the steward.

"Yo, Young Master Shenming is here. The small ones are far away, and they are guilty of sins. Such a slave and maid, I don't know how to invite the young master to the hall to serve tea, it's really damned! Although he said this, the steward knew in his heart that this Wei Shenming didn't look at people and seemed to be modest, but in fact, he was very proud in his bones. If he thinks you are not qualified to talk to him, he will turn a deaf ear to whatever you say. If the slaves and maids want to curry favor with him, it is boring for themselves. "Don't you have to go to the door today, young master? Why did you get here so early in the morning? ”

Wei Shenming raised his hand and handed the horsewhip to the steward, and when the steward saw this, he hurriedly lowered his head and took it with both hands, and honestly held it on his chest, only then did he hear Wei Shenming speak: "I heard that Cousin Yi was injured, so I came over to take a look." Sit and walk for a while, and you can't delay the errand. ”

"Thank you Young Master Shenming for your concern, I'm afraid Young Master Yi hasn't gotten up yet, you sit down for a while, and I'll go and call the young master to get up."

"No need, Cousin Yi is injured, since I go to visit at the bed, the steward can guide the way." Wei Shenming raised his hand to signal that the steward didn't need to say much, just lead the way.

The steward didn't dare to stop him, so he had to send a maid to take the first step to call Wei Yi to get up, and he bowed down to guide Wei Shenming.

Wei Shenming took off the frog skin scabbard and sword hanging from his waist, and handed it to the scholar who followed up. The scholar held the sword in both hands and followed behind his young master. In this way, the steward held the whip in front, and the scholar held the sword in the back. The graceful and suave Shen Ming son strutted his head and walked majestically in the back house of the military mansion, attracting admiring eyes from ordinary maidservants. There is a young and ignorant girl who doesn't know, and secretly asks her sisters who this handsome boy is?

"The descendants of the Wei family of Yun Guogong, the official worships the Lang."

"Isn't Cheng Lang just a six-rank official? How can you make the steward so respectful? ”

"What do you little girl know. Although the son of Shen Ming is only a six-rank loose official, he serves under the Zhongshu sect. On weekdays, I see all the officials of various ministries, and the prime ministers on the left and right. Moreover, Shen Ming Gongzi is so young, and he will be released in a year or two, and it is possible to easily become the head of a county, or even be on duty in the state capital. ”

"Wow! Isn't that even more powerful than our eldest son? ”

"It's the same as Webster, and each room is not the same height, how can we compare with the military mansion, and you don't look at who his sister is."

The whispering ended here, and the name that came out of her ear, the slave didn't dare to call out, so she could only cover the little girl's exclamation in her mouth. The steward couldn't see the strange appearance of the servant girls around him, but he couldn't scold him in person, so he could only hang his head and walk briskly. I don't care about giving my young master time to get up and clean up. Fortunately, the expression on Wei Shenming's face has always been calm and light, as if he really couldn't hear the discussions of those subordinates, which made the steward secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

When they came to Wei Yi's room, the two disheveled little maids had just gone out, bumped into someone coming, and left in a panic with their heads down. The steward smiled awkwardly, Wei Shenming's eyes were empty, and he pushed the door straight in. The smell of incense and a certain smell in the room made Wei Shenming frown, and then unfolded, indifferently bypassing the curtain to look at Wei Yi, who had hurriedly draped a shirt on his body.

Wei Yi, who was naked, shook his shoulders in disgust, and the brocade was slipped off, revealing the plaster bandaged on his back. Lying on a jade pillow, he looked up and saw Wei Shenming coming in, with a happy smile on his face: "Cousin, why are you here?" ”

Wei Shenming lifted his robe and knelt beside the couch, stretched out two fingers to help Wei Yi cover the corners of the quilt, and a friendly smile appeared on his face: "Brother Yi has suffered an unjustified disaster and is in pain, so my brother deserves to come and visit." ”

Wei Yi gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "It's not because of that slut!" When I catch her, she wants to live and die without torture, and it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

The displeasure in Wei Shenming's eyes flashed, but he still comforted softly: "I will not let go of those who dare to offend my Wei family." However......" Wei Shenming changed his tone and continued: "Cousin Yi, you are trapped at home, and the news outside may not be clear. Chang'an County has caught the person who injured you......"

"I know! It's that slut's concubine, hey, that coward, who will just hide behind the woman. This time, I guess I saw that I was in trouble and was afraid. Ran to turn himself in. How could I let him go! Wei Yi said angrily, as soon as he pulled the wound with his mouth, he fell down with a sigh of relief. I arranged for someone to go to prison last night......"

"The person you arranged is really in jail now." Wei Shenming hid the disdain at the corner of his mouth, turned his head to look out the window, he didn't have time to go around in circles here: "And the person you want to clean up has now entered the palace." ”

"Huh?"

Wei Shenming couldn't stand the smell of medicine on Wei Yi's body mixed into the foul air of the room. stood up and walked to the window and continued: "The kid who provoked you is surnamed Li, and for the time being, I only know that he has something to do with the Weiguo Mansion. Yesterday, Lu Guogong and the eldest grandson stayed in the palace for a day, accompanying His Majesty to personally interrogate this Li boy. It can be said that Brother Yi's case of making trouble and hurting people has been passed all over the world. ”

Wei Yi grinned uncontrollably and asked in dismay, "How come?" ”

"This is also where the foolish brother is very curious." What Wei Shenming didn't say was: This is also what the adults of the Wei family can't figure out. "That young man was left in the West Inner Garden by His Majesty after entering the palace yesterday. Although Chang'an County found out the confession given by the young man, it was useless. Right now, Brother Yi, you can be said to be the only person who has ever seen that young man. I wonder if Brother Yi has any news about this person to tell Brother Fool? ”

"This ...... My brother doesn't know, I still don't know what that kid is called. It's just two face-to-face shots. ”

Wei Shenming turned around and glanced at Wei Yi, nodding meaninglessly. stopped asking about this matter, and instead said: "Speaking of which, the foolish brother has always felt very guilty in his heart, if it weren't for the Qujiang party that day, he mentioned the red-clothed sword dance for his brother a few words." Brother Yi will not be interested in running to the Zhan Lu Building, and he encountered this catastrophe again. Saying this, Wei Shenming did not have the slightest apology in his words.

"Cousin doesn't have to be like this. It's that slut's fault, how can you blame your cousin. ”

"Having said that, Brother Fool can no longer sit back and watch Brother Yi suffer here, while the culprit is sheltered and free!"

"Huh?"

Wei Shenming glanced at Wei Yi, who was at a loss, turned around and continued to talk to himself, no longer paying attention to this waste: "That young man of the Li family was somehow left in the palace by His Majesty. His Majesty made it clear that he wanted to shelter this person, but His Majesty forgot. Zhan Lulou's case hasn't been concluded yet! That young man is still guilty, as long as you don't let go, Brother Yi, it is impossible for this case to be covered up by His Majesty quietly. ”

"Ah, uh, naturally can't let ...... go"

"No matter what Wei Guogong wants to do, what do the generals want to do with this young man. Just bring him back to the court and we'll be able to hold him in our hands!" ”

"Uh, yes, get him back......"

"You are the plaintiff in this case, and this case can no longer be tried in Chang'an County. Jingzhao Mansion has always been an ornament, and they can't be expected to work against His Majesty. I helped my brother write a pleading. Wei Shenming took out a scroll full of words from his sleeve, and the exhibition page was the blank space at the end of the book, "Brother Yi only needs to leave a name, and I will help Brother Yi to present to the Imperial Doctor." As long as this matter is in the court, His Majesty will not be able to act arbitrarily. ”

Wei Yi looked at the scroll handed to him, dazed and at a loss, and took it in a daze, but did not open it to see what was written. Wei Shenming was no longer impatient, so he straightened up and instructed the steward, "Bring a pen!" ”

The steward peeked at Wei Yi, bowed his head and obeyed the order to grind and get a pen. There were no such things in Wei Yi's room. There was nothing in the room for a while, Wei Yi suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is it possible to catch that slut by taking down that slut's concubine?" ”

Wei Shenming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Wei Yi to care about this, but he still nodded affirmatively and said, "Naturally." ”

"That cousin has to promise me that when he catches the slut in red, he will hand her over to me!" Wei Yi finished hatefully. Wei Shenming turned his head to look out the window to prevent him from seeing the disdain in his eyes, and still coping: "I must let Brother Yi out of this evil breath." ”

After a while, Wei Yi took the pen and ink brought by the steward and signed his name on the scroll crookedly. Wei Shenming put away the pleadings, casually said a good rest, and turned around and left without leaving for a moment, but he didn't see the gloomy look on Wei Yi's face. The steward glanced at his young master, and hurriedly chased him out to see him off.

"Humph! Use me as a gunman! Really, I don't know anything. But with your cousin by your majesty's side, if you don't have those two women to protect you, what do you have to be arrogant! Wei Yi snorted heavily at the door. Unhappy, he began to bluff again, instructing the slave to serve him.

Wei Shenming took back his horsewhip from the steward in front of the military mansion, took the sword presented by the scholar and hung it back on his waist, nodded slightly, and stepped on the back of the slave and maid and left.

"It's just a name, isn't it enough for the young master to write it down to Wei Yi, why bother to run this trip early in the morning, and almost missed the time of the errand." The scholar walked briskly with the horse, and couldn't help but complain.

"You know, this is an ordinary case. The adults want to use this incident to fight back against the actions of the general's government, and how can people find fault with the cause of the incident. Wei Shenming casually taught the scholar, but he was also thinking about it in his mind.

Last night, Wei Guifei, a cousin in the palace, sent someone to look for someone in the West Inner Garden overnight, wanting to interrogate in advance to find out what was going on, but the news from the kilometer this morning turned out to be nothing. It seems that His Majesty is determined to protect this young man. Since you can't start with kilometers, you can only take the road of court interrogation and bring people out in a bright way.

I can't complain about the adults in the court. Wei Guogong has just won a big victory in the northwest, and several generals in the capital have taken action in unison, if there is no connection between this, how can those adults who have been immersed in officialdom for many years believe it. It's just that what is the purpose of the general's mansion or Li Jing this time? Is it smoke to release the Baxia camp and a teenager, or do you want to use this as an opportunity to do something?

Wei Shenming thought about Zhan Lulou's affairs, and suddenly reached out and groped for the gilded gauntlet of the sword on his waist, and muttered: "Originally, I saw that you were outstanding in swordsmanship and clean yourself, so I wanted to accept you as a sword attendant. That's why I picked Wei Yi's gentleman to embarrass you. I don't want a slave to be a slave after all, with cheap blood in my bones, I willingly followed the mountain horseman and ran away. Cheap ......"
