In the end, Chen Wenzhi only got a response from Xu Hongji's words, although it was more tactful, but he still understood it, and the meaning of the words was clearly referring to what you Chen Wenzhi was, and only Li Xin was qualified to talk to him here. Therefore, although he was standing in front of Wei Guogong, no matter how he spoke, he couldn't get any other response, Xu Hongji just looked at the book in his hand with his eyelids drooping.

If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Zhenyu had explained the bottom line in advance, Chen Wenzhi really had the heart to hand it over to Zhu Yuncai's cool official, and see if he dared to pretend to be deaf and dumb. I was bored for a long time, so I had to retreat unwillingly, and when I got out of the study, I saw the old servants on both sides looking at each other angrily, and their eyes were full of anger and resentment. This made Chen Wenshan couldn't help but shudder, and said in his heart that if there was no soap to escort him, he would have to lie down and go out if he came in alone.

Coming to the door of the Duke of Wei's mansion, the master leaned up, "Fuzun, how is it?" Is the Wei State service soft? ”

Chen Wenzhi shook his head and sighed: "Accept soft? Wei Guogong didn't even look at us. ”

"Still hard-mouthed? Continue to starve him for a few more days to see if his bones are hard or his belly is hard! ”

"No need! Tomorrow I will send some rice and noodles inside, but no one will be allowed to enter or leave. ”

Chen Wenzhi thought about the explanation of the marquis of Zhenyu, he couldn't really starve Wei Guogong to death, then it would be a big trouble. The master still wanted to persuade and argue a few words, but Chen Wenzhi entered the sedan chair and gradually left the alley.

Chen Wenzhi hit a hard nail in Wei Guogong, while Zhu Yuncai gained a lot from Xu Wenjue, and this guy fled from the Guogong Mansion with the family servants, just to beg for food. However, although he had enough to eat, he also lost his dignity and freedom.

Everyone who escaped from the Guogong Mansion was centrally supervised, Xu Wenjue was originally dressed up as a family member, but this person's style and demeanor betrayed him, the soap subordinates are all shrewd people, and what they are best at is judging a person's identity through words and deeds, so they were quickly screened out, coupled with the betrayal of the servants, the identity of Xu Wenjue's little grandfather was immediately exposed.

Zhu Yuncai interrogated Xu Wenjue, but he was not soft at all, and at the beginning Xu Wenjue was still holding the little grandfather's shelf, relying on the fact that he was the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, and no one dared to do anything to him, and repeatedly shouted with him. Zhu Yuncai was furious, and immediately asked Soap Li to press him to the ground, took off his pants, crackled the board, and instantly subdued him.

From then on, what Zhu Yuncai asked, Xu Wenjue recruited, and the answer was unsatisfactory, and the soaps were slapped in the face. The little grandfather has been pampered since he was a child, and he is the only one who has suffered such humiliation, but he has fallen into such a difficulty, which is really not the heavens and the earth, so he has to cooperate with him obediently.

The next day, the "Communiqué" officially announced the facts of Xu Wenjue's case in the name of Ying Tianfu Yamen, most of which were old voices and long talks. But one of them made everyone silent.

Jiang Yueguang was holding a tea bowl to moisten his throat, and in his left hand was the family who had just bought the "Bulletin", and only after a few glances, he didn't drink a sip of tea, and all of it was sprayed on the "Bulletin" that still exuded the fragrance of ink. Young Grandpa Xu confessed that he had bought food for Zuo Mengeng and ran up and down, and the military food purchased by Zuo Mengeng was to be transported to Jiangxi and sent to the Huaiwang rebels.

In other words, Zuo Mengeng is suspected of colluding with King Huai to rebel, and it is not only Xu Wenjue or even the Xu family that is involved. Zuo Mengeng's father, Zuo Liangyu, and King Shen behind Zuo Liangyu could not escape their involvement. The Marquis of Zhenyu connived at Ying Tianfu to make this matter public, and he was really afraid that the world would not be chaotic. At the same time, Jiang Yueguang's head was in a cold sweat, and he was secretly glad that he saw the opportunity to change quickly in the political hall that day, otherwise he would have fallen to Wei Guogong, wouldn't he have been innocently implicated in the conspiracy?

However, Jiang Yueguang still didn't feel at ease after thinking about it, so he sent his family to invite his proud protégé in the Hanlin Academy, and explained it to the world, so the Hanlin Yuan Hanlin once again jointly impeached Wei Guogong, and its words were sharp, and it was difficult for the people to be angry if they didn't kill this duke, and it was difficult to thank the world if they didn't kill this liao.

These performances quickly spread to Li Xin in Yingtianfu, Zheng Sanjun happened to be discussing with Li Xin, and couldn't help but sneer when he saw Jiang Yueguang's hard performance: "Temporarily clinging to Buddha's feet and delusionally thinking that he can escape punishment?" ”

"Jiang Hanlin is just a little speculative, and it has not caused serious consequences, so why bother with it?"

Li Xin helped Jiang Yueguang say a word, which greatly surprised Zheng Sanjun. It is said that the Hou of Zhenyu is mean by nature, and he will repay him, how did he change his sex today? For a while, he couldn't figure out Li Xin's original intention, so he didn't want to do more about Jiang Yueguang's matter.

This time he came for another reason, because Ying Tianfu made Zuo Mengeng's suspected rebellion case public, which caused a great shock among the officials and even the people in Nanjing. As far as the truth is concerned, he felt that in order to stabilize the situation∏ he should not make this matter public in such a hasty and hasty, but since it has become a fait accompli, he has no choice but to go all the way to the dark, he knows that Li Xin is finally ready to get rid of Wei Guogong.

Xu Wenjue's matter involved Zuo Mengeng's funding of King Huai to rebel, so if Wei Guogong wants to be alone, it is tantamount to an idiot's dream.

"Arrest Wei Guogong?"

Unexpectedly, when Li Xin listened to Zheng Sanjun's decision after thinking about it again, he was surprised. Zheng Sanjun couldn't figure out the true intentions of the marquis of Zhenyu, he carefully observed Li Xin's expression, and he could roughly judge that it was not a fake, but if you don't die if you fight a snake, there will be endless troubles. At the critical moment, how can you drag the mud and water so much? Anyway, now that Beijing has lost control of Nanjing, why not stop there and kill Wei Guogong to deter the provinces south of the Yangtze River to see who dares to disobey.

Li Xin suddenly asked an irrelevant word: "If the Grand Canal is cleared and the north-south traffic is restored, what should we do about it?" ”

Zheng Sanjun subconsciously replied: "Since I was detained as one, I will be escorted to the Imperial Prison of the Beijing Division, and the emperor will personally interrogate me!" ”

"Okay, that's it, the trial is still going on, just sort out the facts, record the confession, and the verdict will be handed over to the court in the future."

……

Since that day, Chen Wenshan hit a hard nail at Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, what is surprising is that the other party did not retaliate, but began to supply rice and noodles on a daily basis, and even bought the "Bulletin" every day and sent it to Xu Hongji for reading. According to the old housekeeper, after all, the Xiaoxiao outside was taken by the prestige of Wei Guogong, and he did not dare to do things absolutely, and the old servants felt very uplifted, and they were full of optimism, feeling that the predicament in front of them would soon pass.

Only Xu Hongji was preoccupied, and in the face of the blind optimism of several old servants, he couldn't bear to shatter their illusions, so he had to let it go. The unfortunate premonition was quickly confirmed, Xu Hongji saw the "Communiqué" sent by the old housekeeper in the morning, and he was stunned, and sat quietly for a whole morning without any reaction, not even touching the breakfast on the table.

The old butler felt strange when he saw that the breakfast was already cold and had not moved. Seeing the old man staring directly at the "Communiqué" on the table in a daze, he also followed a few glances, but he didn't expect to look at it, and he was suddenly frightened when he saw it.

"This, how is this possible? Although the little grandfather has a lot of nonsense on weekdays, the little grandfather will never do such a rebellious thing, the old servant has watched him grow up since he was a child, even if he has this heart, he doesn't have the courage! This, this must be Li Xin's trick! ”

Xu Hongji shook his head, he knew very well what the "Bulletin" represented when it published the case in the name of Yingtianfu Yamen. No matter whether Xu Wenjue has done those things or not, why is there no excuse for the crime he wants to add? What's more, with that unscrupulous foolishness, it wouldn't make him feel so strange to be involved in it.

"Master, save the little grandfather, you can't watch them bully and bully him outside......"

The old butler suddenly fell to his knees, sobbing in his voice and speaking earnestly. After all, he has taken care of Xu Wenjue from childhood to adulthood, and the relationship between master and servant is by no means unusual.

After a long time, Xu Hongji smiled bitterly and said, "Save him? I don't even know who will save you and me! ”

After listening to Xu Hongji's words, the old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then his face was immediately full of despair.

"It's difficult, isn't it, there's no way?"

What can be done? Nine times out of ten, Zuo Mengeng's purchase of military rations was to fund King Huai, which Xu Hongji believes is at least ninety percent likely. Moreover, not many days after Zuo Mengeng's military rations were detained, King Huai rebelled in Raozhou, which is also the right time. As for the motive, Xu Hongji can see it clearly, but he is afraid that the King of Shen in Shaanxi and the King of Huai are both unwilling to be lonely, lest the world be chaotic.

Xu Hongji sighed, and couldn't help but secretly hate, how did he give birth to such a stupid and stupid son like a pig? Now that he is involved in the rebellion of King Huai, even if Li Xin does not kill the killer and reports the case to the court to the Holy Hearing, with the suspicious and fickle and unkind nature of today's saint, there will be no good end for his Xu family.

What to do? Could it be that he watched the Xu family's wealth for more than 200 years go down the drain in his own hands? After several hesitations, Xu Hongji finally made a difficult choice.

……

Chen Wenshan looked at the letter on the table in a daze, his first reaction, whether this letter was fake, after repeatedly getting the confirmation of the master, he believed that this letter was indeed from the hand of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei. In the letter, Xu Hongji exposed that his own son Xu Wenjue was involved in rebellion, and provided key evidence, that is, several letters exchanged between Xu Wenjun and King Huai and others.

It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, how can Wei Guogong be so ruthless? You must know that this is equivalent to sending your eldest son to the execution ground with your own hands! In this regard, Zhu Yuncai's reaction was very different from Chen Wenshan's, and after he laughed three times in a row, he actually praised: "Wei Guogong is so decided, and he has a son of his own in exchange for the safety of the Xu family, which is unique!" But then he said to himself with a mocking face: "If he knew that the Marquis of Zhenyu did not intend to chase and beat the Xu family, I don't know how dare this prince think?" ”
