Chapter 18: Jokes and Legal Arguments (4)

"The old man's surname is Wei, his name is Jingshan, originally this Jiangning people's family, because he was worried about the people, and he strived for a great cause, you see my heart!" Cai Xianqing paused, and then sang:

"Dan's heart is ......"

"You have listened to a lot of dramas, do you know who this Wei Jingshan is?" Wan Heshun asked his wife.

She thought about it, shook her head and said, "Master, there is no such person in the play, maybe it was made up by this Cai opera." ”

Cai Xianqing was silent for a long time, and only said, "Listen, my lord." He then opened his throat, and his tone was full of his sorrow and sorrow, and the listener was deeply moved, even though he did not know the allusion.

Cai Xianqing sang and said: "It's a pity that the law is weak, the discipline is not neat, Jingshan is too guarded and trapped, trapped in the shackles!" Look at my grievances......"

Wan Heshun pinched his fingers, his face solemn. He saw Cai Xianqing finish singing this paragraph, and the prefect came up again.

After singing a few more paragraphs, Cai Xianqing secretly aimed his eyes at the prince again, others didn't notice it, only Wan Heshun himself could see it. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, as if frowning in thought.

I don't know when the song was sung, and another old student came on stage and said: "This king is close to Jiangning, I heard that Taishou was mistakenly trapped in Zhongliang, and it is a ...... to come and see."

Wan Heshun raised his head again and stared at Cai Xianqing's eyes.

"Lord Wang! I Wei Jingshan has countless grievances, I don't know where to tell! Jingshan implemented a new policy to protect the country and the people, but Taishou insisted on going his own way......"

"Alright."

Cai Xianqing was about to sing, but he was suddenly stopped by Wan Heshun in the audience, and he looked at the county king in a daze.

"Xianqing, you have something to say." Wan Heshun's tone was calm, but it made people feel a cold aura that made him shudder.

"That ......"

"Remove the stage and come down to speak." Wan Heshun was a little dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes......" Cai Xianqing was very nervous, and she began to regret it in her heart.

He held his breath and walked down slowly. The crowd was silent, only the children were still babbling.

Cai Xianqing knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the king of the county, his face did not change.

"Wei Jingshan probably means something else...... I don't know who the surname of this prince is in the play? Wan Heshun lowered his head and touched his palm, and said in a tone like interrogating a prisoner.

"Because of the haste of the villain's compilation, I don't know the name and surname of the prince." Although Cai Xianqing spoke steadily, the corners of his mouth trembled a little.

"I can understand," Wan Heshun smiled and took the hand of the child next to him, "But the name Wei Jingshan is good, I sound very familiar." ”

"This ......"

Cai Xianqing hesitated. He didn't know whether he should use this to reveal the truth to him, and the prince's face was not good-looking. He cringed. He thought to himself. If a few words are confused and Wei Huai is not mentioned, then he will definitely be spared; But he has come to this point, should he be soft at this moment, and appear cowardly and incompetent at this moment? He doesn't care about any faith and morality, but the word 'soft' makes him ashamed. Soft at this time? It's a great shame!

He took a deep breath and said resolutely: "Wei Jingshan is the Wei Huai of Sihe Academy. ”

Wan Heshun raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He didn't expect Cai Xianqing to say it openly. Cai Xianqing has no heart to be convinced, so it is difficult to pass this matter in one go. If anger works for him, he will lash out, but after weighing the pros and cons, he slowly smiles.

"Wei Huai? I know that he has set up a Sihe Academy and teaches well! I don't know what's going on? ”

"You don't know?"

Wan Heshun looked around in astonishment, and then asked in surprise, "What's wrong with the Wei Sacrifice Wine?" ”

Cai Xianqing saw that Wan Heshun didn't know, but he was always meticulous, but he was also at a loss: "Don't you know? ”

"Tell me something!" Wan Heshun shouted anxiously.

"Yes...... In this way, Wei Huai led the people to vigorously implement the new policy in front of the yamen, but the prefect instead accused Wei Huai of inciting the good people, imprisoned him in the number room, and sentenced him to a serious crime. The villain thought that this matter had to be agreed by the prince, but who wanted to ......"

"Is that true?"

"The villain has relied on you to soar in this life, how dare you tell half a lie?"

"That prefect is really bold!" Wan Heshun was angry and slammed the table hard, so frightened that the children cried.

"Don't cry!" Wan Heshun stood up irritably, "Send someone!" I told the prefect that there is my edict to release Wei Huai from prison without delay! ”

He looked back at Cai Xianqing again and patted him heavily: "Xianqing, you have really made a great contribution!" If you don't admonish him, then he must be loyal and righteous and suffer unjustly. ”

"Where...... Where ......" Cai Xianqing listened to his words, and really felt that he had made a miraculous feat, looking at everyone proudly, and his face was flushed.

"Xianqing, you are not young, I am afraid that this righteous act has consumed a lot of your spirit, and you should go back to rest and rest......" Wan Heshun comforted.

"Thank you for your understanding......"

"Someone!" Wan He said, "Fu Xianqing went to rest aside." ”

Cai Xianqing then kowtowed to Lord Wan and was supported by several minions.

"Cai Xizi clearly means to disobey the master! Why don't you get angry with him? Obey him! This does not break the face of our family......"

"That's it!" Wan Heshun's vulture-like eyes stared directly at his wife, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything more. "If it's really a woman's opinion, don't worry about the general trend!" He sat back in the circle chair, took a sip of tea, and said:

"Don't you see that not only the people protect him, but the literati protect him, even Cai Xizi spoke to Na Weihuai. What does this mean? Wei Huai can gather people's hearts, we really don't have the ability to move him now! If I insist on going my own way and arrest or even cut Cai Xizi, what a sensation it will cause in Nanjing! It's better to follow the will of the people, simply put the responsibility on the prefect, and I can earn a clear name! ”

"That'...... Won't Wei Huai be unscrupulous here from now on? ”

"It doesn't matter. This Wei Huai is not a gangster, he is just dreaming of a new deal. In this case, let's let him dream, and in the end, it will not be too late to stifle his Spring and Autumn dream......" He hid his fangs as always, revealing that gentle smile.

"The prefect came out to listen to the order!"

The people sent by the prince had already entered the yamen, stopped in front of the two stone lions at the door, and called the prefect loudly.

The prefect hurriedly walked outside the door and knelt on the ground.

"The lower officials kneel and listen to the orders of the county king!"

I saw that the visitor glanced at him, and then shouted: "The prefect does not follow the will of this king, and vainly asks people to arrest the good people Wei Huai, which is a great rebellion, and violates the laws of the country. As he spoke, he ignored the prefect who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, called a few officials, and went straight to the prison.

"Which one is Wei Huai?"

Wei Huai leaned against the wall, his body was thin, his face was gray, his hair was half disheveled, his hands were on the flail, and he was napping with his eyes closed. He didn't hear anyone shouting at him.

"Which one is Wei Huai!" The man asked loudly again.

When Wei Huai heard this second sound, he woke up suddenly. He opened his eyes slightly, stared at the iron railing of the room, and said softly:

"I am."
