Chapter 31: Substitutes and Worshippers (3)

"There's a good show to watch now."

Wan He held on to the railing in the corridor and said to Hu Qi beside him.

"Ye Yongjia deliberately put Wei Chong in, what did he want to do?" Hudge looked at him puzzled.

"He's just a muddy-water now, so why bother what he thinks? We're going to have to bring Wei Chong over now......"

"King of the county, Wei Chong is a capricious villain, what faith is there in the twilight of Qin! It is better to take the opportunity to abandon it and prevent future troubles. Hudge replied decisively.

Wan Heshun smiled kindly and patted his hands, "You still don't understand." Although this Wei Chong is not a loyal person, if we pull him, he can still understand. Lu Fangxuan is now at a disadvantage, and if we take the lead, we will be able to force the Lu Party to have nothing to do. ”

Hu Qi saw what Wan Heshun meant, and he couldn't persuade him, so he said, "I don't know if the king of the county has any countermeasures in this matter?" ”

"In order to show my sincerity of Wan Heshun, you can choose a little official from your side and replace Wei Chong."

Hu Qi's gaze wandered slightly, but he still faced Wan He and said, "Subordinates understand." ”

Hu Qi gradually walked down the corridor, but he thought in his heart: Wei Chong has done injustice, why do he want to treat him like this! It is better to return it to the department first, and it does not matter if this matter is delayed.

He walked slowly to the door of the office, saw two officials standing there giggling and talking, and caught a glimpse of him coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Can you decide on the redundancy?" ”

"It's settled."

After Hu Qi finished speaking, the two glanced at each other.

"What are you afraid of?" Hu Qi smiled lightly, "I have always treated you like a father and son, without the slightest disadvantage, why are you still not at ease?" Saying that, like an elder, he lovingly pressed the heads of the two officials, so that they would not be frightened, but would be at ease.

Hu Qi walked through the lobby, walked to the study, and looked through the window, and saw his most confidant Xu sitting in front of the desk, holding a pen in his hand, and writing something on the paper.

He didn't think it was suspicious, and only shouted in a joking tone: "I didn't see that this official is here!" Why don't you welcome it? ”

The man was excited, stuffed the piece of paper into his pocket, turned his head, and smiled reluctantly: "Hu...... Hu, Hu, Lord Hu, you, why are you here? ”

Hu Qi glared at him suspiciously, with a displeased face: "Open the door, I'll go in and talk to you." ”

When the little official walked to the door, he wanted to tear the paper, but he was afraid that he would see it, so he had to wipe off the sweat and reach out to open the door.

"Take it out." Hudge went straight to the point, unceremoniously.

The official was obviously a little scared, and cowered, "Don't ...... adults"

"You take it out first." Hutche stared at him.

He was helpless, swallowed his saliva, and nervously took out a piece of white paper, trembling and handed it to Hu Shangshu.

As soon as Hu Qi glanced at him, he became unusually furious, grabbed him by the collar of his coat, and asked, "You...... You! How many benefits did Lu Fangxuan give you to sell for glory? You went to vote for him, and forgot how King Wanjun treated you?! ”

When he saw that there was nothing more to argue, he knelt down, covered his face, and wept aloud.

"Master Hu...... Please spare the villain's life...... I did something bad just to be greedy for a little money, but I didn't want to betray the county king and you! I beg you ......"

Hu Qi turned around, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his head: In that case, why not replace Wei Chong with him?

As soon as this idea came out, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and he turned around and glanced at the official again, and suddenly didn't know how to decide.

Hu Qi's face was solemn, and he was silent for a long time, then he exhaled with relief and shouted in a low voice: "Get up." ”

The little official's face was so blue that he couldn't say a word, but stood up slowly.

As Hu Qi approached, he shoved the paper into his hand and said in an extremely stern tone: "This thing is burned in a brazier to show that it will never be connected to the Lu Party." Can you do it? ”

The little official knew that Master Shangshu was going to spare his life, but he was still not very relieved, and looked at him vigilantly: "The villain will go immediately!" ”

Hudge followed, and saw him carefully carry the paper into the brazier, and in an instant the paper was rolled up into a ball and gradually turned into a pile of charcoal-black ash foam.

"In the future, you must not do such things because of greed for small profits. If it is discovered by the king of the county, the gain outweighs the loss...... Your wife and children still depend on you to take care of them, so be careful. ”

The little official breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Hu Shangshu not only did not blame, but also persuaded him like this, a stream of hot tears welled up, he kowtowed a few times, and choked up: "Lord Xie Shangshu doesn't think about villains!" I will repay ...... in the future."

After this incident, Hu Qi felt that he couldn't be ruthless to these henchmen at all. He didn't dare to start the so-called 'replacement' anymore, and only found a few decent excuses every day to push Wan Heshun's side, also as a tactful way to resist. This made the prince very headache, but at this critical juncture, he couldn't mess with himself, so he had to put the matter on hold for the time being.

After a few days, the king of Wanjun still did not see Hu Qi's intention of repenting, and he became more and more angry, so that he could not sit still at all.

Ye Yongjia received a rare order from Wan Heshun in the yamen. What happened last time? He held the cover of the official document and thought that it was probably the time he was invited to the banquet.

It's probably not a good thing. Ye Yongjia opened the official document with trepidation, and after reading it cursoryly, every nerve tensed, and his expression was not relaxed at all. He frowned, as if he was thinking carefully, turned and fell into his chair, sipping white tea to relieve the mess.

This letter simply states that King Wanjun will personally go to Wei Huai to present a plaque of merit and ask the prefect to arrange it as soon as possible; In addition, he was also asked to inform the officials and give Mr. Wei an additional salary.

But it was these two short orders that made Ye Yongjia have endless memories. Although in the eyes of outsiders, his role in it is insignificant, Ye Yongjia himself still wants to do his best to curb the party strife and avoid the end from a catastrophe.

He first asked himself, why did Wan Heshun want to see Wei Huai at this juncture, and he still needed to work the word 'personally'?

Wei Huai was the first person to write a book for the judges. Ye Yongjia's eyes moved quickly, indicating that Wan Heshun only had these several purposes: first, to win over Wei Huai's Sihe Academy and consolidate his power for himself; Second, he felt that the current situation needed to change further, so that he, as the initiator, could write again.

But it is very difficult to win over Wei Huai, after all, he is a hero among people who do not eat hard and soft, and there is a strong-willed strategist like Xia Yuanlong, and the king of Wanjun is so careful that his efforts will not be in vain.

In this case, there is only one way.
