Chapter 63: Retribution
The Gu family quickly went to find Gongshun Hou.
At the same time, the Sheng family's case is in full swing.
Wei Minzhai went out of the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, got on the horse and went straight to the Baoding Building, which was once a gold cutting cave for dogs and horses, and now it is ...... He ordered his subordinates to surround this famous restaurant in the capital, and soon brought out many people in different costumes.
Yang Yuqing hid in the crowd, silently pressed his hat, slowly squeezed out of the crowd, and left in the opposite direction.
As soon as he entered the door, he greeted him and asked him anxiously how things were now.
Yang Yuqing patted him on the shoulder to reassure him: "Don't worry, things are going well, now even the matter of Baoding Building has been turned over, and the Sheng family's crime is now ironclad, just look at how the saint is sentenced." β
Xiang Wentian breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was still very complicated, he shook his head and whispered to himself: "No, if that incident is not spoken, it will not be ......."
He guessed that there was indeed some truth, Wei Minzhai, who had solved the Baoding Tower incident, successfully collected his troops, but he did not follow the prisoners back to the Zhenfu Si Yamen first, but first went to an absolutely secret place.
As soon as he entered the door, he snorted, and when he saw Yang Yuqing and Xiang Wentian, he changed his hand into a claw and quickly attacked a few of them.
This is Zhu Yuan's territory, seeing that the person who came to make a move is a ruthless move, Yang Yuqing and Xiang Wentian did not dare to slack off at all, and fought with the spirit of twelve points, and it was difficult to give up for a while, after a while, Wei Minzhai gradually gained momentum under Yang Airan's participation in the war, stopped and arched his hand with a few of them, and said to Zhu Yuan: "No wonder I can enter Beijing all the way safely, it turns out that there is a dragon and a crouching tiger around you." β
These people are all masters of actual combat, and even he is difficult to parry under the combined attack of several of them, where did Zhu Yuan find so many right-hand men?
Zhu Yuan smiled and said nothing, he didn't intend to share their identities with Wei Minzhai, and when he saw Wei Minzhai stop, he took the opportunity to ask him: "What does Commander Wei gain?" β
Wei Minzhai stopped and turned his head to look at her, and only after a while did he look away and smile: "It's not that there are any gains, but it's all the blessings of Miss Zhu, this time I have caught the ironclad evidence that they colluded with the Tatars and accepted bribes, why does Miss Zhu still seem to be depressed?" β
In Wei Minzhai's view, the death knell of the Sheng family has really sounded.
This is something that even the Fifth Prince and Concubine Sheng cannot change.
In fact, yesterday, Concubine Sheng took off her hairpin and begged to see the saint to intercede for the Sheng family, but it was useless.
Even the fourth prince, who had always been favored, personally interceded for his grandfather, but Emperor Jiaping did not express his position, but just asked him to work hard and scolded his master.
All signs show that the Sheng family is bound to fall.
"Is that what Commander Wei thinks?" Zhu Yuan sighed, and interrupted Wei Minzhai's prediction with some pessimism: "I don't think so, in my opinion, although these crimes seem to be very serious, they are not enough for the Holy Lord to really kill Chang Ying and Sheng Ge Lao." If nothing else, the current saint is a benevolent person, and he has feelings for Sheng Ge Lao and Chang Ying, who have been with him for so many years, and now maybe he won't be soft on them when he is angry, but when he comes back to his senses, he will definitely regret it. β
This is also a lesson from the past.
"When I hear about the struggle between the DPRK and China, there is never any concession, because the result is usually life and death, and there is no peace." Zhu Yuan calmly analyzed: "And I thought that the position of Commander Wei should be that I do this, otherwise, Commander Wei will not come to me for help, right?" β
Yes, after the Imperial Garden incident, Wei Minzhai found her and asked her to help.
Isn't it for today?
The smile on Wei Minzhai's face retracted, and he looked at Zhu Yuan seriously for a moment, and then said equally seriously: "Fortunately, it's a girl, if it were a man, maybe he wouldn't be alive today." β
In the eyes of Sheng Ge Lao and others, if it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, they felt that she couldn't make too much trouble due to her status limitations, and she would have been killed desperately.
Zhu Yuan nodded, acknowledging this.
She was lucky, what could not be admitted?
After these clichΓ©s were finished, Zhu Yuan finally threw out his last bargaining chip: "Commander Wei, can you trust me?" β
Wei Minzhai put away his sword, and with a little bit of his unique carelessness, he asked Zhu Yuan: "It depends on which one you believe, or does Miss Zhu plan to let me learn Su Wanli, take my life, take the future of the official career, and take the future of the clan, and gamble on this one?" β
That doesn't sound like a good thing.
Zhu Yuan nodded directly, and did not deny it, but nodded when Wei Minzhai showed a sneer: "Commander Wei will bet with me, right?" β
"Why do you think so?" Wei Minzhai didn't appreciate her face, and asked her with a cold face: "Miss Zhu, how sure can I definitely do what Su Wanli did?" β
"Because I know that it is not easy for Commander Wei to achieve this position, and I also know that Commander Wei was able to trample Wei Shunhui under his feet because he went to the northwest to join the army without hesitation at the age of eleven, and he has been fighting until now." Zhu Yuan replied calmly: "If you don't show the ability to make Old Lady Wei believe that she can take the helm of the Wei family and lead the Wei family out of the quagmire, it must not be so easy to grasp the entire Wei family, right?" β
He lost his father when he was young, and his mother was oppressed by concubines, so that he could not get the title that belonged to them in the open.
In fact, this title has been vacant for more than ten years, and it may be withdrawn by the Holy Decree at any time.
Because Empress Wei's status in Emperor Jiaping's heart was not enough for Emperor Jiaping to return the title of Marquis of Cheng'en to the Wei family.
Especially Wei Minzhai's father, who had already attacked the knighthood, died early, and the Wei family was fighting for property at that time, and there were a lot of jokes about this, which made Emperor Jiaping more justified in retracting the title.
And Wei Minzhai wants to get back what belongs to him, of course he has to take out something that makes the Wei family surrender.
What better way could there be than to get back the title that he should have gotten in his hands but now embarrassed the Wei family?
And he can already be regarded as a meritorious achievement, in addition to making greater contributions to becoming the emperor's henchman, what else can impress Emperor Jiaping, who doesn't like the queen?
Wei Minzhai didn't hesitate for too long, turned his head and asked her, "What do you want me to do?" β
"Take Zhu Zhengsong to see the saint." Zhu Yuanyan said succinctly: "I can get everything I want, and so can I." β
