Chapter 44 Rebellion Section 9 Striking the grass and startling the snake
"General Wei knows that Mencius has a good saying: 'People can do nothing, and then they can do something.' Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info 'If I ignore the tragedy of Lord Zhang's murder and let those murderers go free, then what kind of man am I, Fan Yuncheng?" Fan Yuncheng thought of the loyal and honest Zhang Yuanzhi, and he couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.
"Master Fan, that Mozi also has a saying, 'Take the big from the good, and take the small from the harm.'" 'Why don't you think about what the result will be?' Is the result really something you can afford?" said Wei Rui with a sigh.
"------Now I am a big beam, heavy Buddha and light on agriculture, the people only want to become monks, no work, no farming, no border trade, and the national strength of Daliang is declining day by day, all because of the traitorous villain, the emperor is mediocre and incompetent, I Fan Yuncheng sees it in my eyes, I am anxious in my heart, I just want to do my part for the court------"
"But Master Fan, if you do this at the cost of your life, do you ------ you deserve it?"
Fan Yuncheng has seen his end in Wei Rui's eyes, but he can't retreat at this time, he knows that he is stupid to do this, and it can also be said that he is very stupid, but deep in his heart, he is still as stubborn as ever, and he wants justice for Lord Zhang Yuanzhi.
"General Wei------ I, Fan Yuncheng, can only sacrifice my life for righteousness. Fan Yuncheng said slowly.
Wei Rui sighed, he came here this time, he just didn't want to see Fan Yuncheng do this, but the result of persuasion was still the same, he knew that there was no point in continuing to talk about it.
"Since you have thought of everything, then I advise you to send your family out of the capital as soon as possible------ if you don't act at this time, I am afraid that none of you will be able to get out by then." Wei Rui said sadly.
"General Wei, I promise to ask you for one thing. ”
"Alas------ at this time, you just ask me for ten things, and I agree, but I don't know if I can do it. ”
"If something really happens to me, I will trouble General Wei and find a way to send my family away!"
"Why can't you leave at this time?" asked Wei Rui, puzzled.
"Since a few years ago, there have been eyeliner outside the Fan Mansion, the actions of our Fan family have long been monitored by others, it is simply too difficult to leave, since they want me to be the scapegoat, they will not let our whole family escape easily. Fan Yuncheng knew his end, as early as the Yongzhou tragedy, it was already doomed, "I know that what I want to do next will definitely endanger my family------ I can't see my family being threatened, General Wei------ you and I in this life, you and I must be destined in the previous life, and we will share weal and woe in this life, then I Fan Yuncheng begs you to help them in a critical moment." ”
"Fan Yuncheng, why are you so stubborn? Why can't you be patient and run away with your family?" Wei Rui asked sadly.
Fan Yuncheng smiled miserably: "If I wanted to avoid these disasters, I would have chosen to leave before entering Beijing------ since I have arrived in the capital, there are some things that I can't avoid if I want to." ”
Wei Rui slowly calmed down at this time, he knew that what he was going to do next was something more difficult than ascending to the sky, he looked at Fan Yuncheng in front of him, who was not going to go to Yangguan Avenue and was about to face the difficulties, and suddenly felt that he had to do it, and for his conscience, he had to do this thing well.
"Master Fan, I, Wei Rui, promise you that in ------ critical moment, I will find a way to escort your family away. ”
After Fan Yuncheng heard Wei Rui's resounding answer, he finally put his mind at ease, and from now on he could rest assured that he could do what he wanted to do, and his family could save their lives, which was the only thing he could do for his family.
"Yun Cheng, thank you here, general!" Fan Yun Cheng fell to his knees with his clothes.
Wei Rui hurriedly helped him up, and said in a loud voice: "Master Fan can't do this, you can't do this." ”
Wei Rui and Fan Yuncheng looked at each other, and after a long time, he asked, "How is Master Fan going to do it?"
Fan Yuncheng replied calmly: "The first step I have to do now is to startle the snake."
"Can I still ...... Can I do something for you?" Wei Rui asked in a low voice.
"General Wei, from today onwards, you must not interfere in this matter, even during the joint trial, you must not open your mouth." Fan Yun took the heart to involve Wei Rui as well, "General Wei, you must remember what I said, don't interfere in the process of this case."
"I made a note of it." Wei Rui had to make concessions, he knew that at this time, he could only hide behind Fan Yuncheng and be the one who pretended to be confused.
"When will Mrs. Zun return to the capital?" Wei Rui asked with some concern.
"She only said that she would go for about two months, and she had always kept her promise and would definitely return to the capital on time."
Wei Rui thought of this strange woman, and he didn't know where he went at this time, but Fan Yuncheng in front of him, but there was not the slightest worry on his face, he also admired this Fan very much, if his wife had been away from home for so long, he would definitely not be at ease.
"In two months, it will be time for the lotus flowers to bloom...... Master Fan, you and I have been separated since then, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to see each other."
“...... When the trial comes, you and I will meet again."
"Lord Zhu, he has already figured it out, why do you want to take his position for yourself, firstly, to investigate the case for Lord Zhang, and secondly, because you don't want him to get involved." Wei Rui doesn't know how to judge Fan Yuncheng's approach, so unreasonable playing is really a headache.
Fan Yuncheng smiled slightly, this old superior has carried him for so many years, and it is time for him to enjoy his family at home with peace of mind.
After Wei Rui saw Fan Yuncheng leave, Zhu Muzhi then returned to the hall, and when he and Wei Rui looked at each other, they both understood each other's intentions.
"For the rest of the matter, I have to trouble Lord Zhu to mediate it. Wei Rui said with some concern.
"General Wei, rest assured, since I, Zhu Muzhi, have taken care of this matter, I will take care of it to the end. ”
Wei Rui didn't answer, he just hoped that his plan would succeed, no matter how far Fan Yuncheng would get to this case, he would never be able to watch him die.
"At this time, we have no choice but to wait ------ and wait!" Wei Rui sighed helplessly.
Zhu Muzhi didn't know what it was like to wait, he waited for so long, but in the end he still couldn't stop Fan Yuncheng, his stubbornness that hit the south wall and didn't return, he had already understood it.
"Alas------ fortunately, General Wei waited with me, and the old man was quite comforted in his heart. ”
Wei Rui smiled slightly after hearing this, and the two of them looked at Fan Yuncheng's disappearing official road, no one knew what would happen in the future and how things would develop------
Two months later, when Ling Xiao returned to the capital, she had just entered the city gate when she was stopped by the servants in the mansion of the sixth prince, Xiao Hong: "Mrs. Fan, my prince is invited!"
Ling Xiao frowned, she didn't know why the family in the prince's mansion was so bold and actually stopped her in broad daylight.
Xing'er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly drove the carriage back to Fan's mansion, and after she saw Fan Jun, she told him about Ling Xiao's invitation to the prince.
Fan Jun sighed in his heart, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this prince's gourd, he carried the sword given to him by Wei Rui behind his back, and said to Xing'er: "I'll go to the palace to have a look."
"No, Madame specially instructed me before leaving, don't let you go, then the prince is already narrow-minded, if you go and bring weapons with you, and add a crime to you, how can it be good?" Apricot quickly stopped him and didn't let him go.
"But my mother is in the palace, if there is an accident, what can I do?" Fan Jun said a little anxiously.
"Don't go any of you, I'll go." Xiao Ni, who was listening clearly, suddenly said, "The terrain in the palace is not as familiar to me as you are, or it is appropriate for me to go."
Fan Jun and Xing'er looked at Xiao Ni in unison, and Xiao Ni smiled easily: "If you can trust me, let me go."
"How can I say that I can't believe you? It's just that you're a girl, what should I do if I'm in danger?" Apricot asked worriedly.
"How can I be in danger? Don't worry about me, if anyone is really bad for my wife, I will definitely ensure that my wife returns safely." After Xiao Ni finished speaking, he didn't even look at Fan Jun, turned around and walked out of the house.
She knew that once she left the mansion, she would follow the stalker behind her, she quietly walked around the streets and alleys, and after going around several times, she turned the two tailgating killers dizzy, and after not finding Xiao Ni's footprints, she returned to the outside of the Fan Mansion in a fit of rage, and continued to monitor the movements of the Fan Mansion.
At this time, Ling Xiao had been forced into Xiao Hong's room by the guards of the palace, and Xiao Hong had already been emaciated by a human figure during this time, and he couldn't eat or sleep well all day, for fear that the poison would suddenly attack and kill him.
Ling Xiao forcibly suppressed the disgust in her heart, and after taking Xiao Hong's pulse, she slowly came to the table, wrote down a prescription, and handed it to Lu Shengzhen, who was waiting for the prince beside her.
After Lu Seng Zhen took the prescription and read it, he was furious in his heart: "Madam, what kind of prescription is this, why is there only two flavors of medicine on it? And what is the matter with the mung bean? Is it also medicine?"
"The poison in the prince's house, you only need to take the medicine according to the prescription, and it will be effective in less than ten days." Ling Xiao replied slowly.
"This ...... What kind of prescription is this?"
After Xiao Hong heard the words that it would be effective in ten days, he suddenly lifted his spirits, he grabbed the prescription written by Ling Xiao, and was also very surprised after reading it, only to see that the prescription was written: "Mung beans are two taels a day, mashed with a stone mortar, and taken in raw mung bean water, taken for ten days, licorice is five dollars a day, boiled and taken while hot.
Xiao Hong looked at Ling Xiao in surprise, and asked puzzledly: "What kind of recipe is this, this is the first time this king has seen it."
"The prince must have heard the truth of home remedies to cure serious diseases, the little girl's prescription seems to be ordinary, but for the poison in the prince's mouth, it is an excellent treatment, if the prince's condition has not improved after ten days, the little girl is willing to die." Ling Xiao was calm, and his speech was straightforward.
"Hmph, if the poison in this king is not lifted after ten days, you should be careful then, I can take your life at any time. Xiao Hong said coldly.
"The prince is really a great power, is it the life of the people in this world, you can take whoever you want?" Ling Xiao asked coldly.
Lu Seng Zhen heard this Mrs. Fan on the side, actually talking to the prince like this, it was simply presumptuous, he scolded loudly: "You ignorant woman, you dare to contradict the prince? Don't you know how powerful the prince is in this capital? It seems that you really don't want to live." ”
Xiao Hong saw Ling Xiao's calm face, and he was also extremely dissatisfied with what she had just said, and he asked coldly, "It seems that you are not afraid of the power in the hands of this king?"
"Lord Wang, what is power?" Ling Xiao asked rhetorically.
Xiao Hong was blocked by her like this, and he couldn't speak for a while, but Ling Xiao in front of him really made him angry, but what she said was reasonable, and she was powerless to refute it.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Xiao Hong asked coldly.
