Chapter 172: Wei Yuan's Awakening

Wei Mansion.

At this moment, Wei Yuan was slumped in the chair with a pale face, thinking back to Li Gan's attitude towards himself before leaving the palace, Wei Yuan had already understood in his heart that he was probably already like Shen Simiao and others, and had become a pawn abandoned by Li Gan.

Slowly closing his eyes, his mind goes back to ten years ago.

At that time, he returned to the lockdown because of his fame and became the master of the lockdown government.

Although such a day is dull, Wei Yuan also enjoys it.

And one day, as a group of brocade guards dressed in flying fish suits broke into his home, his ordinary life changed.

On that day, he met the future prince of the Dawu Dynasty, and the prince who leaned towards the government and the opposition.

On that day, he made the most important decision of his life.

It was on that day that dozens of people from the family of Lord Lu, who were loved by the people in the lockdown city, died.

Soon after, the imperial court sent a document to him to take over the position of the prefect of the city.

In the next ten years, he also rose from a prefect step by step, and became the head of the household department in just a few years.

And the people who brought him this supreme glory were Li Gan and Cai Jing.

In the past few years as the head of the household department, Wei Yuan has been conscientious and has made many great achievements, and at the same time, he has also done a lot of shady things for Li Gan.

Although Wei Yuan seemed to be beautiful on the surface, in fact, he had never slept well in the past ten years, and every time in the dead of night, he would wake up from a nightmare.

This nightmare is the scene of the destruction of the Lu Mansion ten years ago.

And the reason why he worked so hard during his reign was in the hope that what he did would alleviate his guilt.

Originally, he thought that he would spend his life like this, but he didn't expect that the destruction of the Lu Mansion ten years ago would see the light of day at this time.

And Li Gan's proposal in the court and his attitude towards him before leaving, Wei Yuan had already understood that even if the destruction of the Lu Mansion was not investigated, he might not have a way to live.

Slowly opening his eyes, a flash of light flashed in Wei Yuan's eyes.

"Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!"

After saying it coldly, Wei Yuan immediately took the pen and ink, then hesitated for a moment, and in the next second, he wrote hard, and soon a blank piece of paper was written.

And the things stated on this blank piece of paper are exactly the money and property that Li Gan has taken from the household department in various names in the past ten years, and at the same time, he has also written down all the truth about the tragedy of the Lufu extermination ten years ago.

After doing all this, Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Then he put the written letterhead into the envelope, put it in his arms, and stepped out of the study.

"Sir."

"Daddy!"

As soon as Wei Yuan stepped out of the study, Mrs. Wei, the housekeeper, and Wei Zhengming hurriedly stepped forward, but before they could speak, Wei Yuan waved their hand and interrupted them.

"Butler, everything you have done for my Wei Mansion over the years has worked hard for you, I will ask the account office to give you some coils in a while, you can take these coils and leave."

Hearing Wei Yuan's words, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and knelt in front of Wei Yuan with a pop.

"If it weren't for the master, the old slave's life would probably be buried in the belly of the beast, although the old slave doesn't know what happened to the master, but the old slave's life was saved by the master, even if the old slave dies, he must guard the master!"

"Dad, what the hell is going on?"

Wei Zhengming couldn't help but ask.

"Don't ask anything, don't say anything. You go and pack your belongings at once, prepare to entangle, and go back to your mother's hometown for a while, and if your father is fine, he will come to you. ”

Wei Yuan sighed.

Wei Yuan knew very well that in order not to expose the events of ten years ago, Li Qian and Cai Jing would never let go of themselves.

It is better for him to die alone than for the whole family to die.

"Dad, I'm not leaving, no matter what happens to the Wei family, the child has to advance and retreat with his father!"

"Master, the concubine is not leaving!"

When Wei Yuan heard this, his eyes skimmed over the three of them, looking at the three of them with positive faces, Wei Yuan was deeply pleased, but soon, he suppressed the relief in his heart, a touch of anger appeared on his face, and he yelled.

"Now is not the time for you to do whatever you want! This family is still up to the old man! If you are told to go, let me go! ”

Wei Yuan's sudden anger couldn't help but make the three of them tremble, looking at Wei Yuan's expression at the moment, the three of them seemed to know the seriousness of the matter.

And in the end, under Wei Yuan's orders, the three of them had to go to pack their luggage. Taking advantage of the nightfall, Wei Yuan asked the housekeeper to take the mother and son from the back door of the mansion, under the protection of several guards, to leave the Wei Mansion and go to the city gate.

Seeing a few people leaving, Wei Yuan finally showed a smile, and then went to the main hall alone, gathered the servants and maids in the mansion, gave each of them some coils, and dismissed them.

After making a pot of tea, taking off his official clothes and folding them neatly, and placing them on the table next to him along with his official hat, Wei Yuan slowly walked to the side and sat down, staring at the outside of the courtyard, as if he was waiting for something.

At that time, the silence in the house was incomparable.

And at this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps suddenly sounded on the eaves, and in the next second, several figures wearing black night clothes, veils, and long knives jumped down from the eaves and came to the courtyard.

When they came to the courtyard, several people did not hesitate and immediately ran towards the main hall. And when they entered the main hall and looked at Wei Yuan, who was looking at them calmly in the main hall, several people couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, Wei Yuan was the first to speak to break the silence.

"The prince sent you, right?"

Hearing this, the person who seemed to be the leader of several killers immediately took two steps forward and said, "Lord Wei is really a smart person, now it seems that Lord Wei's family must have left Kyoto, right?" ”

"But do you think they'll be safe that way?"

Hearing this, Wei Yuan's face changed, and he suddenly stood up and glared at the person who spoke, and said, "Is the prince really going to kill them all!" This official has followed the prince for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, does the prince really not remember the old feelings? ”

The black-clothed killer smiled coldly: "Lord Wei, it's only strange that you know too many things!" Lord Wei, I'm sorry! ”

"Do it!"

The leading killer didn't seem to want to say anything more to Wei Yuan, so he immediately waved his hand, and a killer behind him saw this, holding a long knife and slowly facing Wei Yuan after all.

Looking at the killer who was strolling over, Wei Yuan sat down on the chair weakly, and did not have any resistance.

kept muttering: "It's been ten years, it's been ten years, and the evil that the old man has done should be retributed......

After speaking, the killer stepped forward, the long knife in his hand held high, and at the moment when the long knife was about to fall, suddenly, a violent impact sound sounded.

Everyone looked up, and saw someone break through the roof and fall from the sky, and after the killers reacted, they saw that in front of Wei Yuan, a young man with a long sword had already appeared, looking at them with an indifferent face......
