Chapter 61: Failure and War (4)
Wei Huai saw that there were many of them, and he couldn't struggle for a while, so he forcibly raised his head and angrily reprimanded: "My academy has been operating here for many years, and the government has not betrayed it!" Today's sudden words and violations of the law are clearly crimes that are intended to be added, how can they obey the public! ”
The entourage behind him also gradually surrounded him, wanting to ask for an explanation, but the officer hurriedly pressed his sword and shouted: "I am ordered by the king of Wanjun to arrest, and you will not know what to do, so you must be involved." You can quickly retreat to the side, otherwise you should be judged by the same party! ”
After that, as soon as the order was given, the officers and soldiers under his command drove everyone away with guns, and they dispersed in a moment.
"Don't use tricks, explain it to me......" Wei Huai looked at his back and gritted his teeth.
"Haha, what tricks I can have, it's all a fact, but you bite me back." He clapped his hands, laughed, and walked in front of Wei Huai, "What do you want to do when your academy cooperates with you in a good voice on the surface and instigates the people secretly...... You're the dean, you don't know, right? ”
Wei Huai stared at him straightly, but he couldn't say anything at this time.
"Since I don't quibble anymore, I'm afraid I'm guilty. Now I will send you to the yamen and wait for Lord Ye's disposal! ”
Half an hour later.
"Loosen."
Ye Yongjia sat on the main seat of the second hall, poured a cup of tea for the officer, and gently threw this sentence out of his mouth.
The officer came from outside the city, running all the way, his mouth was extremely thirsty, and he was about to drink it all, but he was shocked by his words: "Let go? Could it be that the criminal's rope was loosened under it? ”
"Where are the criminals?" Ye Yongjia looked at the cloaked Wei Huai under the hall, and showed a sneer, "This is a famous Confucian in Nanjing, an official of the imperial court, even if there are unscrupulous people in his academy, it is not his crime." He is still the son of the country and has not been dismissed, how can he be convicted rashly! Unbinding. ”
The officer was suddenly angry in his heart, and he didn't dare to attack, so he had to laugh and say: "This is what the king of Wanjun ordered the little ones to do, and they have no right to decide, please forgive your lordship." ”
Ye Yongjia didn't answer immediately, but showed a murderous gaze, burning like a flame: "You escorted him to me, you have to listen to the orders of this official, there is no king of ten thousand counties here!" I said you let him go, stop rambling, do you hear?! ”
"You ......" The officer raised his head to look at him, but he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and felt weak in his heart, obviously shocked by Ye Yongjia's majesty. He hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes twice, and then commanded down with great reluctance, "Give ...... Untie Mr. Wei. ”
The soldiers looked at each other, said 'yes' listlessly, that is, drew their knives and cut the hemp rope into several pieces, took the rattan crutch, and saluted Wei Huai slightly apologetically.
"Can he go back?" Ye Yongjia pointed to Mr. Wei, who stood up, and asked the officer.
"He ......"
"The academy has not been sealed, but only a few people have been arrested, and it is reasonable for the dean to go to stabilize the situation, and the military master should not stop him."
The officer's face turned purple and red, and he nodded his head with difficulty: "Everything is up to the adults." ”
The officer returned to Wanfu in a hurry, sprinkled all his anger in front of Wan Heshun, and complained bitterly about Ye Yongjia's evil deeds, and his voice was so fierce that he almost broke his front teeth.
Although Wan Heshun was very angry, he also knew that this was not a good opportunity to arrest Wei Huai, and today was just a bluff to bluff the people of the academy. He replied calmly: "What you say, this official knows." But I hate this Wei Huai dog's strength, and I can't help him now. Don't blame yourself too much for this, the destruction of the academy will not happen overnight. The two thieves, Bai and Meng, can be imprisoned first, and then Xu Yi will force them to disintegrate from the inside. ”
The academy was in a panic. Just when everyone was helpless, someone reported that an unkempt gentleman in a short coat was limping outside the door, and they all went to the wall to look, and sure enough, their dean had returned.
Xia Yuanlong hurriedly opened the door and sent two scholars to help Wei Huai in.
"Brother Hemin, are you alright?" Yuan Long looked at his whole body and asked eagerly.
Wei Huai shook his head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to me." Lord Ye let me go, saying that King Wanjun has not yet been convicted of the Academy of Justice, but I am afraid that the new policy will be suspended. ”
"Now I don't care about the new deal or not, let's solve the urgent need first. Mr. Wei, let's go into the house and discuss. Yuan Long beckoned everyone and rushed into the council hall together.
"According to what I have learned, Bai Meng's two colleagues have already forced confessions, and if they don't interfere, what should they be guilty of rebellion...... I'm sure you all understand. Xia Yuanlong groaned a few times and looked at Wei Huai worriedly.
All the people were in an uproar, shouting with grief and indignation, and scolding all the thieves in their mouths, and they were bound to get back the word for the two; But Wei Huai had a sad face, as if he was thinking about something, and sat there dumbfounded, not saying a word.
Xia Yuanlong hurriedly came out to stabilize the order: "Colleagues, I can understand everyone's anger, and Mr. Wei can understand it. But there is no reason for the noise, calm down, there will be a solution. ”
Everyone gave up their hands and sat down honestly.
"Renying...... Can we really save it with our strength alone? Wei Huai's face was dazed, and a finger slowly moved on his lips.
Xia Yuanlong was startled at first, and then when he saw him like this, he felt a little inexplicably sick to his stomach, so he replied coldly: "Although our plan to strike backwards has failed, the public opinion accumulated in these days has been deep, and at this time, such an incident has occurred, and the people's hatred for the government has reached its peak. If we correctly call on and command, and make them block the main roads and make great noise, then the ten thousand parties will inevitably retreat for fear of chaos. You and I have experience of victory, so why hesitate! ”
Wei Huai couldn't figure out if he was really scared or for some reason, but he didn't dare to act now, and he seemed to be struggling in his heart, he wasn't sure.
"I ...... I've thought about it a few times, okay? Wei Huai finally followed his heart.
"Colleagues," he said as he tried to close his eyes in the face of the suspicious and strange looks of all the characters, "I've been so tired lately, and the events that have ensued have broken me physically and mentally...... I need to be still, and I'll give you an answer. ”
He rubbed his temples and held the vine crutches: "Also, my Wei Huai doesn't have any ability, it all depends on everyone's recommendation, and if you are dissatisfied, please speak out." He dragged his weak body out of the room under the gaze of thousands.
Xia Yuanlong had been smiling bitterly, he thought that Wei Huai's state of mind had already changed, but the leader of the academy he expected did not appear, it was still the original Wei Huai. The invisible pressure that the latter could not speak of can be fully explained by Xia Yuanlong - perhaps, Xia Yuanlong knows himself better than him.
