Chapter 68: Overnight
[Chapter 2, Volume 2]
Section 103 Chapter 68 overnight
Although Wei Huan and Old Madam Song were unable to redeem the Shen family's possible proposal to withdraw from their relatives, they did not delay their revenge.
…… Ruiyutang has suffered too much these days.
If you don't charge some interest, how will you live in the future?
So, before dawn the next day after receiving the letter from the imperial capital, a raging fire broke out in the city of Fengzhou.
The first flash of fire alarmed the city husband.
The place where the fire was found was the ancestral house of Zhibentang, not far from Ruiyu Hall, and the entire Fengzhou City was gradually alarmed!
As early as a hundred years ago, for various reasons, the Zhihondo shifted its focus to the imperial capital. Although this ancestral house still remains, it is generally only used when worshipping ancestors or celebrating the funeral, and usually only some subordinates guard it. However, no matter how desolate and empty it is, it is also the ancestral home of Zhihondo, not to mention the ancestral hall of Zhihondo.
Even after Wei Huan learned the news, he hurriedly put on his clothes and went to direct the firefighting in person.
When I arrived at the place, I found that the building that caught fire was deliberately poured with grease, which soaked almost the entire pavilion, poured water on it, and the fire was even more sufficient, and even because the water washed out the burning grease, not only could not extinguish the fire, but even showed signs of affecting nearby buildings!
Thanks to Wei Huan's danger, he ordered someone to try to transport sand and gravel into it, so that he could put out the fire. It's just that this kind of deep house compound, there are a lot of wells and ponds, but it will never hurt the scenery to pile up any sand and stones, and the fire is very large, so it is barely extinguished until the end of the day.
At this time, the whole pavilion has been burned to only a base, but the worst thing is that after the fire is extinguished, it is found that the place where the fire started is near the ancestral hall, although the fire has not affected the ancestral hall, but it has also burned the wall pillars outside to black!
The damage to the ancestral hall is a big deal, the servant guarding the ancestral house was so frightened that he almost fainted, knelt in front of Wei Huan and kowtowed and begged for mercy - it's just that Wei Huan was so good Why was the pavilion splashed with a lot of grease to ask - since the grease was splashed, of course it wouldn't be accidentally taken away from the water, it must have been deliberately lit by someone, and even this fire endangered the ancestral hall of Zhibentang!
Although this ancestral hall is dedicated to the ancestors of Zhibentang, but the ancestors of a hundred years ago also enshrined in Ruiyu Hall - these are also the ancestors of Ruiyu Hall, and the fire of the ancestral hall, even if it is not burned to the inside, this is also a major event in the clan!
As the owner of the valve, how can Wei Huan not ask to understand!
However, he only interrogated two sentences, and then had to put the matter on hold for the first time......
Because someone found Changshi Song Han and his self-Song Duan in an alley not far away, and more than a dozen servants and soldiers...... Massacre corpses!
Chang Shi is the head of the army in a state, especially Song Han and Song Duancai have been praised by the holy decree, and they will actually die in the city! Wei Huan was furious, and for the time being, he let people watch the servants guarding the house, and personally rushed to the alley to investigate.
However, Wei Huan walked out of the door, and without warning, an arrow flew in! If it weren't for the quick eyes of the little guy next to him and pushed him hard, I was afraid that Wei Huan would be the same as Song Han and Song Duan in the alley......
After this change, the guards and the subordinate officials of the state were very angry, and they didn't dare to let Wei Huan go to the alley to investigate in person, so they insisted on sending Wei Huan back to Ruiyu Hall. As soon as Wei Huan entered the door, the guards urged him to close the door tightly, and surrounded him all the way to the back hall.
I didn't want Wei Huan to say a few words to Mrs. Song and the children and grandchildren who rushed to condolence when they heard the news, and another servant outside rushed into the hall in a panic to tell an even more amazing news:
——A famous man in the sea, the prince of Jingping was also found dead on the couch a moment ago!
was killed along with Wei Zhengya, and there was also a concubine, that is, Xiao Liu's maid and the biological mother of the tenth prince Wei Gaoan.
Zhibentang's ancestral house was set on fire and almost damaged in the ancestral hall, Changshi's father and son died in the alley, Wei Huan was assassinated, and famous people at home died tragically on the couch - these four things are more shocking than one another, and one is more thrilling than the other! It all happened overnight!
With such a shocking change, Fengzhou suddenly became a rumor!
Mulberry's advantages have been completely and thoroughly brought into play!
In just three days, according to the knife wounds on the corpses of Song Han and Song Duan, the arrow that grazed Wei Huan's forehead and shot more than an inch into the bluestone, a wolf tooth left by Wei Zhengya's bed, and three ironclad evidence-plus some people recalled afterwards that the secluded place in Fengzhou was occasionally and accidentally witnessed by them in the past two days, but for various reasons they ignored some suspicious people in the past......
As a result, Wei Huan was full of grief and indignation, and the old tears confirmed that the tragedy of this night was all done by the Rong people!
Cause?
The reason, of course, is the revenge after the victory in the state of Beibei!
Not long ago...... Wei Huan's only pair of grandchildren and granddaughters, and a grandson who taught him personally, the three juniors went out of the suburbs to send them together, and the people who were sent away were not only Tianzi Yiwei, Sikong Aizi, and even the quasi-crown princess. On the way back to the city, wasn't it that they were ambushed by the "Rong people", if it weren't for the blessing of God, the two sisters and brothers would have died long ago!
The reason why the young lady of the Wei family was suspected of losing her virginity was because she was forced to stay in the forest after this ambush and returned to Ruiyu Hall after several days?
On that occasion, Wei Zhengya, the cousin, was extremely angry and condemned the shameless behavior of the Rong people......
Wei Huan said in a heartbroken performance that he thought that after his three grandchildren were attacked, he used his private guards to search the vicinity of Fengzhou, and expected that after the Rong people lost, the remaining people should always return to the north. I didn't expect these barbarians to be so cunning, and in less than a month, they sneaked back again!
So the tragedy of this night is very clear -
The Rong people had long planned to take revenge on Song Han's father and son, who were the heroes of the great victory in the northern part of the state, and they also had a deep grudge against the Wei clan - especially Wei Zhengya, who openly reprimanded them for their madness.
They came prepared, first dousing the pavilion in the ancestral house of Zhihondo with grease and then lighting it. Since it is the ancestral home of Zhihondo, and this pavilion is next to the ancestral hall, it is impossible that no one will put out the fire. And because it can't be extinguished with water after being soaked in grease, it can only be specially transported to transport sand and gravel...... This is still because of Wei Huan's reminder and command, otherwise the fire extinguishing speed will be even slower.
In this kind of situation where the whole city was alarmed and joined in extinguishing the fire, judging from the situation of being neatly dressed and dying near the fire, Song Han and his party were obviously preparing to come over to help, but when they passed through the alley, they suddenly encountered a rain of arrows and a short fight...... Or rather, it was a mending sword, so the whole army was wiped out in a short time.
Due to the urgency of the fire at that time, many people beat gongs and drums to wake up their neighbors, which can be described as a lot of noise in the city, this alley is not far from the ancestral house of Zhihondo, but under the circumstances at that time, who can still hear the movement inside? Therefore, Song Han's father and son died extremely quickly!
And although Wei Zhengya died in his inner room, he was also suspected that it was the Rong people or the traitors bought by the Rong people who pretended to be a little maid to report the matter of taking the water, and took advantage of Wei Zhengya's defenselessness to kill him suddenly!
Otherwise, the portal is good, why did Wei Zhengya die?
All in all, it's all the vicious revenge of the Rong people!
Wei Huan wrote brilliantly and poignantly in the recital, and bitterly stated the loss of the Wei family, pointing directly at the vicious and despicable Rong people, which is simply outrageous!
He not only described in extremely sad terms the blow of the death of his nephew Wei Zhengya to the Jingping Mansion, and deeply regretted the innocent fall of a famous man from the perspective of literati, but also mentioned that Song Han and Song Duan were people who had been praised by the Holy Decree, and this move of the Rong people was tantamount to provoking the majesty of the Great Wei!
Of course, at the end of the recital, Wei Huan did not forget to write that the so-called Fengzhou common people stopped the sedan chair and complained, I am afraid that it was also done by the Rong people, and the purpose was to retaliate against the victory in the north of the state.
Otherwise, the Rong people put the pavilion in Fengzhou and didn't burn it, so why did they have to go to the ancestral house of Zhibentang to start?
This proves that the common people complained that it was a conspiracy of the Rong people from beginning to end, but Situ Weiqi was immediately killed with a cane, so the Rong people who were angry and ashamed were ...... Just burned down Weisaki's ancestral house!
Wei Huan personally caught the pen, and Wei Shigu, who is also a famous man at home but is even stronger than Wei Zhengya, spent several hours polishing and revising, making this piece really sad for the hearers and tears for the listeners, vividly expressing the endless grief and indignation of a family that was slaughtered and murdered in order to defend the land and defend the territory, and did not hesitate to stand with the Rong people......
After carefully reading the finalized recital, Wei Huan sincerely praised the verses: "If this performance cannot move the saint for eternity, unless there is no more words in the world that can move the saint!" ”
Wei Shi Gu smiled lightly and said, "The valve master's previous performance is very complete, and I am just icing on the cake." ”
The two complimented each other, and Wei Huan called into his henchmen and ordered him to report to the imperial capital as soon as possible. Sending off the chapter, Wei Huan's face sank again, and he sighed: "Chang Ying's marriage ......"
"The only way to do it now." Wei Shi Gu is not only the master of the famous people in the sea, Wei Changfeng and Wei Gaochuan, but also Wei Huan's think tank, Wei Huan and he have been friends for many years, and they trust each other very much, and now Wei Huan is even more private to inquire about each other, Wei Shigu pondered for a moment, and then said, "I can only wait for the Shen family to arrive before making a decision, if the Shen family does not hesitate, in my opinion, it is good for the third lady, and this marriage is withdrawn...... In the end, the owner and the old lady only have a granddaughter, rather than marrying a high family but falling into the hands of others, it is better to promise a loyal but poor person, under the wings, you can often see it. ”
"I don't know that if the Shen family is suspicious of Chang Ying, even if they reluctantly take her over, I am afraid that there may not be a good result in the future?" Wei Huan stroked his gray beard and said in a deep voice, "It's just that what their grandmother said is also pitiful: this child is indeed innocent, and the reason why she fell this time is all to protect her brother!" In the past, I always felt that this child's temperament was too out-of-the-box, and it was not the behavior that everyone should have. It's just that Zheng Hong is weak, and the eldest daughter-in-law has easily had these two children, so she is extra pampered, and their grandmother is very protective of her, so I don't have time to take care ......of it."
"This time, if it weren't for her insistence on practicing martial arts for many years, not only herself, but also Gao Chuan and Changfeng, none of them would have been able to escape! And Wei Xinyong's appointment, life and death are unknown, she actually has the courage to pretend to be Changfeng to go! In this way, I actually looked away, underestimated this granddaughter, and with her heart of protecting her brother, I really couldn't bear to ask her to come back and be wronged! ”
Wei Shigu pondered for a moment, but still shook his head: "Although the main valve is defended in the concerto, there are too many things to tell in this recital, and this is just a trivial matter...... It may not be noticeable. We are not in the imperial capital now, and we can't control public opinion! The most important thing is that this kid has not yet arrived in the imperial capital, and the rumors related to her have been overwhelming, even if the rumors are refuted, they have been discussed one after another. Everyone is talking about it in the mouths of people who are hanging on the streets and alleys, and it is always ...... Shen Zangfeng's status in the Shen family is extraordinary! ”
Wei Huan was silent for a long time, and said abruptly: "That's it, if the Shen family is dissatisfied because of this, they are willing to reluctantly take this child over, but I don't want to marry this family." As you said, find a distant branch of someone else's family and let him move to Fengzhou...... Just protect this child in Fengzhou for the rest of his life! In addition to marriage, it is not that you can't continue to befriend the Shen family. ”
"The elders in the clan are ......" Wei Changying is now discredited, this is related to the reputation of the entire clan, not Wei Huan and Mrs. Song can be counted, in this case, the elders in the clan will ask to dispose of Wei Changying, in order to uphold the family style.
"What else do they care about? The princes of Jingping died at the hands of the Rong people, which shows how fierce the Rong people's revenge on my Wei family is! At this time, he didn't stick to the door and said cautiously...... "It's just that Wei Huan was not happy in his heart, so he sneered and said, "Do you want to die so much when you come out to find trouble!?" ”
