Chapter 44 Rebellion Section 8 Trade-offs
Fan Yuncheng's narration is extremely long, and it took more than an hour to tell the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and during the whole process of telling, Wei Rui's fists were always clenched, he never thought that the elegant civilian official in front of him had actually experienced such a thrilling story, but Fan Yuncheng risked his life to rescue Yan Fei, it was indeed not like what a Qiaozhou acquaintance like him did, and it didn't matter what he said at this time, whether it was right or wrong that day, it couldn't change the facts------
"Yan Fei------ when did he leave?" Wei Rui asked after listening. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The Fan family, who left at the end of last year------ was freezing at that time, but if there is a way, I will not ask him to leave. Fan Yuncheng said with tears in his eyes.
Wei Rui's mind about Zhang Yuanzhi's case, those fragmented judgments, at this time because of Fan Yuncheng's narration, all clearly appeared in front of his eyes, that strange woman Ling Xiao, and his encounter before the ruins of Zhang's mansion was not accidental, both of them went there with the same purpose, and he and Ling Xiao met and knew each other, it turned out that it was already destined in the dark, and that Yan Fei was used by others to do such an amazing case, but in the end it was to save the lives of the Fan family, and the things that Yan Fei was carrying made him a hundred times more painful, and he couldn't let go for the rest of his life------
"Lord Fan, when I was fighting against the Northern Wei Dynasty, I intercepted a few letters, these can be used as evidence of the prince's rebellion, and they will be submitted to the emperor, as for the witnesses, I think I will definitely be able to find them when I ------ then------ I invited Lord Fan to come today, mainly because there is a matter to discuss" Wei Rui hesitated again and again, but still said it.
"General Wei, please tell me something, as long as I Fan Yuncheng can do it, I will definitely find a way. ”
"Exposing the prince's rebellion, I, Wei Rui, will do it alone, and Master Fan won't have to do it, what do you think?" Wei Rui asked calmly.
Fan Yuncheng would never have thought that Wei Rui asked him to come to talk, and he actually wanted to take this big thing into his arms, so that their Fan family would be completely liberated.
After hearing this, he felt and admired in his heart, and he had another layer of respect for the general Wei Ruiwei in front of him, how many people in this world could take all such things on themselves? Fan Yuncheng and Wei Rui are quite familiar with today's emperor Xiao Yan, that Xiao Yan loves his relatives very much, no matter how big a mistake they make, they will find a way to exonerate them, the sixth prince Xiao Hong is the person Xiao Yan relies on the most, and the trust and favor of the prince are known to everyone in the court, if he tells the prince about the rebellion, then what he has to face is that the whole family will be in a miserable situation------ in other words, even if he has great credit, once he touches the royal matter, those credits will all be wiped out in a blink of an eye, then his whole family is still ------
Fan Yuncheng thought of this, he was shocked, he had two sons who had suffered badly, and they were still so sad that they could not recover so far, so Wei Rui had three sons, if he angered the emperor because of Xiao Hong's affairs, wouldn't Wei Rui's suffering be greater than his own?
Thinking of this, Fan Yuncheng raised his head, he looked at Wei Rui calmly, and said softly: "General Wei, you only have physical evidence in this matter, and no one has any witnesses, so the emperor can believe you or not, even if the prince really wants to rebel, but the emperor can also say that you are falsely accused." According to the emperor's personality, he can do it completely-------General Wei, I have far more evidence in my hands than you think: I have a witness!"
Wei Rui was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that Fan Yuncheng actually had human evidence in his hands, if the human evidence and material evidence were complete, then the prince's crime of rebellion would be a sure thing.
"Fan-sama ------"
"General Wei, this matter started because of me, if I hadn't forcibly rescued that Yan Fei back then, there would be no disaster today. These things have nothing to do with the general, and I don't want the general to get involved in these rights and wrongs------ when I talked to my wife about this that day, I said that she has already taken on too much, and I will leave the rest to me, and the antecedents and consequences of my planting should also be put to me to end. ”
Wei Rui looked at Fan Yuncheng in front of him in a daze, seeing that after he made up his mind, he didn't plan to retreat.
"Did you already think about all this when you asked for the position of Zhengqing of Dali Temple?" Wei Rui asked in a low voice.
Fan Yuncheng nodded: "Since Jun'er joined the army, after my wife designed to send Yu'er to the emperor, all the efforts she has made are to protect her family, in her eyes, family is the most important, but she also has things that she can't do------ she doesn't have any official position in her hands, even if she knows who the murderer is, she can't bring them to justice." I'm different, I can ask for this office, I can take the power out of their hands------"
"But you must know that when the time comes, your life ------ in danger. Wei Rui said eagerly.
"'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?' Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha. Fan Yuncheng said slowly, "I know that I can't become a Buddha, but I can use my sacrifice in exchange for the peace of my family." As long as I can do this, I am content. Fan Yuncheng answered him slowly.
"Master Fan, have you ever thought that your family doesn't want you to make such a sacrifice. ”
"But I can't let you make such a sacrifice, if you are affected by this matter, then I will admit that I will have a troubled conscience for the rest of my life. Fan Yuncheng said gratefully, "Jun'er Meng has been taken care of in many ways in the army, so he can be so promising, seeing that he has grown up and has a full ambition, I am already content as a father, how can I let people who are kind to the Fan family bear these burdens that should not be beared?"
Wei Rui pondered for a while, and then said slowly: " Lord Fan has thought about it, if I make this matter clear to the emperor, at most I, the general of Pingbei, will not do it, then the history of Yongzhou assassination is inappropriate, go home and live my stable life, so many years I Wei Rui has never been greedy for merit, and even more disdainful to fight for those things that life does not bring to death and do not take away, the emperor also knows me quite well, and it will not do anything to me, but you are different, although Lord Fan Yunfan and the emperor are close friends in the past, but the emperor is different from the past, and the prestige of your ancestors has gradually weakened over the years------ ”
"General Wei doesn't have to hold on any longer, I've already been prepared. Fan Yuncheng shook his head and said, "That Lord Zhang has a great favor to me, and after the tragedy, I have sworn that I will find the murderer and avenge the adult." ”
"The prince has already sent the recital to the emperor to sue you, and when the emperor handed it to me that day, I was really scared into a cold sweat, I thought they were just dealing with you, but I didn't expect that your lady was also caught in it, what ------ the dragon robe was all about?"
Fan Yuncheng gritted his teeth, his eyes suddenly became blood-red, at this time he remembered Zhang Qifeng, the woman who had no luck to marry him, used this obscene and shameless method to deal with his wife, but he had been hesitating about this matter, whether to tell Wei Rui, after all, this was the last thing he wanted to mention.
"Master Fan, you just need to tell me where the real Zhang Qifeng is. "Wei Rui is such a smart person, when he saw Fan Yuncheng's appearance, he had already guessed seven or eight points.
Fan Yuncheng was stunned, he didn't understand why Wei Rui said this. Na Wei Rui nodded slightly and said, "Your wife's name is Ling Xiao, and she is not the real Zhang Qifeng. ”
Fan Yuncheng almost screamed after hearing this, this Ling Xiao's name suddenly came out of Wei Rui's mouth, which was indeed too unexpected for him.
Wei Rui slowly stood up, he grabbed Fan Yuncheng's arm, slowly helped him into the chair, and said warmly: "You don't know at this time, your old acquaintance Zhang Shan Zairen in Qiaozhou has already been a fellow acquaintance of Yongzhou before I set out on the expedition, and I am presiding over affairs in Yongzhou at this time------ I have already heard him tell the story of you and Ling Xiao." ”
Fan Yuncheng just put his mind at ease, but the three words of Zhang Qifeng, he would not say it even to death, if it weren't for her vicious heart, Ling Xiao would not have fallen into the trap she set.
"Master Fan, can you tell me where that Zhang Qifeng is now?" Wei Rui had to confirm what he had in mind before he could be ready to help the Fan family.
"She'------ she's Mrs. Hui. Fan Yuncheng said reluctantly.
Wei Rui was stunned after hearing this, Fan Yuncheng said just now that this Mrs. Hui was one of the main culprits who killed Lord Zhang Yuanzhi, she knew that Zhang Yuanzhi and his wife were her biological parents, but she still had to do such a big rebellious thing, causing the tragic death of more than a dozen people.
"Why did she do such a vicious thing?" Wei Rui's tone carried a trace of anger and sadness that could not be concealed.
"Come to think of it------ she hated Master Zhang and didn't marry her to me. Fan Yuncheng knows that this is the crux of everything, and this is also the main reason why Zhang Qifeng has become what she is today, "Ling Xiao is easy to marry for her, this is the pain that she will always make up for in this life, and she naturally hates Ling Xiao." ”
"------Lord Fan, there are only you and me here, why does Lord Zhang want to marry Ling Xiao, can you tell me a thing or two?" Wei Rui knew that this was a bit excessive, but he had to ask, at this time, every small thing could affect the decision he made.
"------ before she got married, she didn't keep women's morals. Fan Yuncheng stopped at the point and did not go on.
Wei Rui stood up and walked back and forth in the house a few times, now that everything can be strung together, the more he knew, the more he felt that Fan Yuncheng at this time was facing too much danger.
"Master Fan, I Wei Huaiwen has a truth about coming home, would you like to hear it?" Wei Rui asked earnestly.
"General Wei, although you and I have no contact with each other in the past few days, but we are very happy to see each other frankly today, and we are very happy, the general has something to say!"
"Now there are two ways to solve this matter, don't get excited after you hear it, just think carefully before you do it. Wei Rui said with a serious expression.
Fan Yuncheng nodded, he knew that Wei Rui in front of him had always been a cautious person, and since he was talking about these things so seriously, he must have done so after careful consideration.
"The first way: the three joint trials of the case, Lord Fan took out human and physical evidence, laid out the facts of the prince's rebellion, removed the prince from the title, and never did evil again, what's more, the emperor can be ruthless, send him to the border pass, and never return to Beijing. It's just that this possibility is extremely small, and according to the emperor's understanding, he can at most remove the title of the prince------ this second way------" Wei Rui paused here as he spoke.
Fan Yuncheng didn't say anything at this time, he knew that Wei Rui was in a dilemma, and these things were indeed related to the lives of his Fan Yuncheng's family, so Wei Rui had to act cautiously.
"This second way: Don't mention the matter of the prince's rebellion, for the case of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi, let it become a permanent unsolved case. I know that you don't accept this path emotionally, but what does it matter if you break it or not? You already know everything, you know who the murderer is, and you can deal with everything secretly------ so that you can protect yourself and your family from torture. ”
Fan Yuncheng was silent after hearing this, what Wei Rui said was almost exactly the same as what his wife Ling Xiao said, both of them were persuading themselves not to take it too seriously, just know it in their hearts, and don't put this matter on the table.
Wei Rui in front of him is a rare smart person in the beam, what he said, I am afraid that it is the closest to reality, and the wife of the family, Ling Xiao, is the smartest person he has ever seen, what the two smart people tell is the truth of going home, it seems that only by giving up revenge can he protect his whole family------ but if he really does that, then the grievances of Lord Zhang Yuanzhi's family will no longer be known, and it will sink into the sea forever, and it will not be revealed.
