Wu Yunlin looked at the food in front of him, although it was not as good as the food of his own time, but he had slept in the open for so many days, and he ate some coarse grain picnics, so when he saw these meals, his index finger moved, so he was eating the food with a lot of appetite, and asked:

"I don't know that this official has just arrived in Zunyi, and I hope that Old Man Wei will help and support him in the future, after all, I am not familiar with life, what is the biggest problem in Zunyi County now?"

"Hey, adults don't know" Wei Hejia listened and replied with a sad expression:

"Before the rebel Zhang Tiande made a rebellion, there were traitors in the county town, and the city gate was secretly opened in the middle of the night, leading the bandits into the city to make trouble, and the county government was caught off guard and was slaughtered, and several people of the clan who were working in the county government also lost their lives." The more he spoke, the more sad he became, and finally even squeezed out a few tears.

Wu Yunlin listened, and most of his appetite was immediately dispelled, if the bandit Zhang Tiande could kill the last county order, then he might also become the soul of the other party's sword, so he hurriedly asked: "I don't know where the bandit Zhang Tiande is now?" ”

Wei Hejia retracted his face and deceited: "That bandit plundered Zunyi County, and he was afraid that the county guard would send troops to encircle and suppress him, so he had already fled away, and there was no news now." ”

Wu Yunlin listened, his heart was relieved, but he was also a little puzzled, because he had read the court documents before, and it seemed that the Zunyi Prefecture County Guard, to which Zunyi County belonged, did not mean to send troops to levy, and the documents in previous years rarely interfered with the subordinate counties, why was the deterrent effect so great for Zhang Tiande?

Moreover, Zunyi County was plundered by bandits half a year ago, why are the farms here so rich? Could it be that the farm will be able to regain its prosperity in half a year, or that the bandits have not come here to rob it?

Zhao Kuo also felt that something was wrong, pulled Wu Yunlin's sleeve, and opened his mouth to say something.

At this time, Wei Qi and Wei Xie happened to enter the house with the remaining jar of fine wine, attracting the attention of the three people at the banquet.

Wei Hejia looked at Wei Qi with inquiring eyes, and Wei Qi nodded with a smile, Wei Hejia opened his mouth in understanding, the plan was successful, and he finally didn't have to pretend to be a village sage old man anymore.

So he stood up comfortably, his temperament on the side, and his demeanor changed from amiable to a little fierce, and then walked to the middle of the feast, took the wine from Wei Qi's hand, and said to Wu Yunlin:

"Master Wu, this is a fine wine that the old man has stored for many years, you have to taste it."

Although Wu Yunlin was puzzled by the change in Wei Hejia's demeanor, after hearing that Wei Hejia was about to toast, he hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"No, I don't like to drink much."

He is telling the truth, his body was relatively weak in his previous life, unless it was some occasions where he had to socialize, he didn't drink alcohol on weekdays.

"You can't say that," Wei Hejia insisted:

"Lord Wu has just arrived, and the old man, as the head of the Wei family in Zunyi County, of course he has to toast three glasses to show respect, right?"

"I understand Wei Xiangxian's friendship," Wu Yunlin continued to refuse:

"This official has been in a hurry for days, his body is tired, and he just wants to rest early, Wei Xiangxian should not be strong."

As the atmosphere changed, Wu Yunlin also felt that something was wrong, and he gave Zhao Kuo a look, wanting the other party to go out and inform Zhou Bingtou to come in.

Zhao Kuo comprehended, then lowered his head to find a route, and then got up suddenly, wanting to run out, but was grabbed by the collar by Wei Xie, who had been prepared, and threw him back into his seat. Wei Qi also responded: "Lord Wu, you don't have to toast and don't eat and drink. ”

"Bold!" Wu Yunlin stood up, slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and asked angrily, "You dare to be disrespectful to this official?" ”

No matter how stupid he was, he found out that the Wei family was harboring evil intentions, so he deliberately made a noise to lure the soldiers in the courtyard in, although there were only twenty Zhou soldiers, they were also regular soldiers who had touched the gun, and it was more than enough to come in to protect him.

Wei Hejia walked in front of Wu Yunlin calmly, first put the wine glass in his hand on the table in front of Wu Yunlin, and then looked up at Wu Yunlin, his eyes blazing:

"Lord Wu Zhixian, Lord Wu, let's accept your prestige first, those reckless men outside the door have already been cleaned up by my two sons."

Although he had never left the feast, he knew that the only threat outside the door had been eliminated through eye contact with Wei Qi.

Wu Yunlin was shocked at first, why were more than a dozen or twenty knife-wielding men dealt with quietly? Even a dozen pigs will howl twice when they are slaughtered.

But then they reacted, they had just arrived, they were not familiar with the place, and the Wei family had already harbored evil intentions, and it was natural that the strong dragon could not fight the ground snake, not to mention that he was not even a loach.

So Wu Yunlin suppressed the panic in his heart, stretched out his hands to pick up the wine glass that Wei Hejia had just put on the table, and smiled bitterly: "It's reckless, it thins Wei Xiangxian's face, this wine ......"

He wanted to vaguely express that he had confessed by drinking this glass of wine, as long as he didn't tear his face, anything would be easy to do, and there was still room for maneuver, but he never thought that Wei Hejia would stop Wu Yunlin's arm and not give him this opportunity.

I saw Wei Hejia lift up his clothes, stop Wu Yunlin, and said with a smile: "The old toast doesn't mean that." ”

After speaking, he snatched the cup from Wu Yunlin's hand, and then poured it hard, poured the wine on Wu Yunlin's face, and scolded arrogantly: "Be sober, Wu Yunlin, don't dream of your Zunyi County Order!" After pretending to be Wu Yunlin's grandson for a long time, Wei Hejia finally had a chance to relieve his anger.

Dumb on the side of the "mixed ....." saw it, and anxiously wanted to get up and theorize, but was pressed to the ground by Wei Xie with one hand, and then pulled out a duck leg from the table next to him with the other hand, and blocked it into Dumb's mouth, and Zhao Kuo, who was about to have a seizure, was also held down by Wu Yunlin with one hand, after all, now the two of them plus Dumb This drag oil bottle is obviously not the opponent of the Wei family father and son who came prepared, and the hero does not suffer the loss in front of him.

"I'll tell you the truth" Wei Xie looked at Wu Yunlin's water dog's appearance, and couldn't help but joke:

"That Zhang Tiande was opened by our Wei family and let him in, and the previous county commander looked down on our Wei family and took us from us, so we borrowed Zhang Tiande's hand to get rid of him."

Wu Yunlin listened to Wei Xie's words, and didn't care about wiping the wine on his face, but asked Wei Hejia:

"So you're going to get rid of me now, too?"

It's strange to say that now he is not as scared as he was just now, after all, from the current situation, he is dead, so there seems to be nothing to be afraid of, I just hope that Xiong Ge and the others can find themselves as soon as possible and rescue them.

Wei Hejia smiled contemptuously, and then cleaned up his appearance, he also found that he had just lost his temper, and the stamina of the wine he drank at the banquet began to slowly attack, so he first shook his head slightly to stay sober, and then denied:

"We are not the ones who kill them, we want to find a win-win situation more than Lord Wu's head."

"Huh?" Wu Yunlin was stunned for a moment, win-win, what kind of win-win situation is this, can't you sit down and discuss it well, you have to make the situation so bad, although you killed the previous county commander, but he didn't care, and even said that it was not impossible to help the Wei family cover in some situation.

Wei Hejia looked at Wu Yunlin's puzzled expression, he wanted to say more, but his body felt weak for a while, his brain began to be a little chaotic, and his head was fluttering, after all, he was already old, and he had planned a lot of things these days, coupled with a lot of drinking, which made his body a little difficult to support now.

Wei Qi was also sensitive, and saw his father's tiredness, so he stepped forward and said: "It's getting late, the overall situation has been decided, father should rest as soon as possible, it is important to keep his body, the Wei family still relies on your leadership, here I am." ”

Wei Hejia nodded, Wei Qi said that his heart was in trouble, and the eldest son had always been cautious and cautious in doing things, so he could also put his mind at ease, so he asked a few more words, and then called the clansmen who had been guarding outside the house to come in to help, and he went back to the bedroom with Wei Xie's support.

Wei Qi first found the official seal from the housekeeper, put it close to him, and then arranged for two clansmen to escort the housekeeper away and let him reunite with the big-headed soldiers, while he led a few clansmen to escort the wet Wu Yunlin to the house.

"I can walk on my own!" Wu Yunlin struggled to stand up and said:

"I can go on my own, you guys.... Just lead the way. ”

He's safe for the time being, but what about the future? Wu Yunlin's heart was full of questions, and the wet clothes on his body reminded him of the twists and turns in the future. I must not make today's mistakes again in the future, Wu Yunlin said silently in his heart.

"My lord is quite familiar with current affairs" Wei Qi took a few steps slower, walked side by side with Wu Yunlin, and then said in a gentle tone: "Unlike the last county order, when he was dying, he was still ashamed to speak, and he looked hysterical and stupid" He reached out and sorted out some of Wu Yunlin's somewhat messy clothes, and said kindly: "Although I am in trouble today, I am also a character." ”

Wu Yunlin did not appreciate Wei Qi's kind move, but asked, "Why didn't you kill me.... I mean, what are you doing this for? "He didn't want to be manipulated like a puppet in such a muddle.

Wei Qi listened and smiled, "It's okay to tell you now." Then he paced in front of Wu Yunlin, and said in a leisurely manner: "Zhang Tiande's appetite is so big that our Wei family has to find another way. ”

"But what does this have to do with me?" Wu Yunlin asked: "You are dissatisfied with Zhang Tiande, shouldn't you cooperate with the imperial court to exterminate the bandits?" Today, he arrested the court officials, and what he did was just..."

"Stupid?" Wei Qi took Wu Yunlin's words, and then led the clansmen out of the courtyard with Wu Yunlin, walked on the loess road outside and turned back to Wu Yunlin and smiled:

"Past experience tells us a truth about the Wei family"

His gaze froze, "That is, the greed of the superior is endless." The county order will be arbitrarily taxed and squandered, and the bandits will ask for money and food endlessly, my Wei family wants to become a wealthy family in Qingyang, then the entire Zunyi County cannot have the power to extort our Wei family. ”

As soon as the words fell, he sighed leisurely: "It's a pity that my Wei family is not prosperous, and there is no one in the officialdom, so I have to make this decision." ”

"What's next?" After Wu Yunlin heard this, he didn't know why he had a trace of fear: "What is the strategy?" ”

Wei Qi, who had always been gentle, finally had a hint of fierceness in his eyes, and he explained:

"Since the Wei family can't issue the county order, then let the county order become the puppet of the Wei family, whether this puppet is willing to cooperate or not, of course, it is best to be willing to cooperate, after all, the more than 20 soldiers under your command are also a big help for our plan to fight against Zhang Tiande."

When Wu Yunlin heard this, he wanted to blurt out that he was willing to cooperate with the Wei family as a puppet, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up, there was no evidence, why did the Wei family believe their own nonsense?

Moreover, he also brought twenty soldiers, and before subduing these soldiers, the Wei family categorically would not believe any of their nonsense. Thinking of this, Wu Yunlin could only sigh, if only he had been so smart before.

"Here we are." Wei Qi stopped, stood in front of a small courtyard with green tiles, opened the courtyard door, invited Wu Yunlin, and said, "My lord, please come in, in the next few days, my lord can only live here." ”

Wu Yunlin walked into the small courtyard silently, and what caught his eye was a rather fast and spacious courtyard, with a small tiled house sitting in the north facing south, and an open-air dry toilet in the southeast corner.

After Wei Qi and his people brought Wu Yunlin into the small tiled house, they lit the candles on the table, and then left the house and locked the door.

"There is a small hole under the door of the house, before the people lived for the yellow dog to go in, people can't get out, don't do anything crooked, there is a toilet in the house, every three days someone will come in to help you clean up, before you give in, let alone the yard, the house will not let you out."

Wei Qi smiled at Wu Yunlin through the door: "Of course, according to my father's wishes, I will lock you up for ten days first, and then consider whether to communicate with you." ”

After Wei Qi finished speaking, he left two clansmen to guard, waiting for Wei Xin to come to replace him at dawn tomorrow, and then left with the rest of the clansmen, he had played a day today, and he was already very tired, and he had to rush back to the county with Wei Hejia tomorrow to arrange arrangements, so he had to rest quickly.

And Wu Yunlin was sitting at the table alone, staring at the candlestick, constantly thinking about how he would be good in the future, but after thinking for a long time, he had nothing to do, and he was getting more and more sleepy, just when he was about to fall asleep under the sweep of sleepiness, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: Wu Gongzi, Wu Gongzi.
