Chapter 44: Rebellion Section 7 Struggle
Shen Yue and Wei Rui's thoughts coincide, Wei Rui is also anxious about this matter, these days he has been at ease about the affairs of the Fan Mansion, now he doesn't know how to deal with this situation, besides, the people who are staring at the Fan family, not only the six princes, but also the sinister and cunning He Zheng, I am afraid that the dark clouds hanging over the heads of the Fan family are not just such a small piece, but a huge one that he can't imagine.

"Lord Shen, just now He Zheng and General He suddenly came back from outside the city gate, I don't know why he left the city today?" Wei Rui suddenly remembered about He Zheng, and he hurriedly asked.
"General Wei feels very accurate, then General He came to ask me today, did Fan Yuncheng's wife go out of the city, and from which gate did she come out of the city? I am now a few poles, then He Zheng commands Yu Linwei, what he wants to ask, I can only answer------
Wei Rui asked anxiously, "You told him?"
Shen Yue smiled: "I know that He Zheng is not a good person, how can I tell him easily?" He whispered, "That Mrs. Fan is from my west gate out of the city, I lied to him that it is from the south gate------ let him chase after the south, he can't catch up with Madame after the sky." β
"Lord Shen, you really ------ an old fox. Wei Rui said with admiration.
"Ha----- it would be nice if I was really an old fox, but I haven't been able to fight those bad guys at all these years, and I, Zhang Yuanzhi, including you, the general, I'm afraid we don't have the capital to fight with them. β
Wei Rui was entangled in his heart at this time, and he suddenly realized that Fan Yuncheng's current situation was really extremely dangerous, and he had to have a good talk with this Lord Fan.
"Lord Shen, it's getting late, I, Wei Rui, want to go to Dali Temple and talk to Lord Fan about something------"
"No, General Wei, you must not go to Dali Temple. Shen Yue hurriedly stopped.
Wei Rui was stunned, he didn't understand why this Lord Shen had become so cautious, and Shen Yue whispered to him: "There are eyes and ears in Dali Temple, you must not go in, otherwise before you understand, those trumped-up charges will be imposed on you." β
Wei Rui suddenly realized that the Dali Temple could not enter, if he went to the Fan Mansion, he was afraid that it would not be too safe, he began to worry, now it is not possible here, it is not possible there, I don't know where I can meet Fan Yuncheng.
"General Wei, there is someone who can help you. Shen Yue suddenly remembered someone, he asked Wei Rui to come up with his ear, and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Wei Rui nodded again and again: "Lord Shen, then I, Wei Huaiwen, will trouble the two adults." β
Fan Yuncheng since Ling Xiao left, every day is like a year, he is silently calculating in his heart when his wife will come back, now he will be able to prepare all the things he can prepare, but the uneasiness in his heart has not diminished at all, now the sky above this beam is cloudy and uncertain, the emperor is in Tongtai Temple, I don't know what he is busy with, and the sixth prince Xiao Hong, these days can be regarded as a stop, did not continue to find Fan Yuncheng trouble, but when he went home, he could always find that there was someone behind him to watch, he and Zhang Zhenyue, the two, can only turn a blind eye, pretending not to seeγ
Zhang Zhenyue, who followed him, was even more nervous than Fan Yuncheng, since Fan Yuncheng was killed outside Dali Temple, he paid special attention to the strangers around him, once some unfamiliar people appeared next to Lord Fan, he would stare at them with wide eyes, for fear that what happened last time would happen again.
When Fan Yuncheng was packing up his things in the house, he was a little anxious in his heart, just now Master Zhu's mansion sent someone to send a note to Fan Yuncheng, saying that Lord Zhu has been unwell recently, and he wants to see Fan Yuncheng and explain the unfinished things in Dali Temple. As soon as Zhang Zhenyue remembered that Zhu Muzhi now lived in a house in the suburbs, where the location was desolate, if those people with bad intentions wanted to find some trouble, that place was an excellent place for ambushes, Zhang Zhenyue thought about it, he really didn't worry about today's things and let Fan Yuncheng go, but he was anxious in his heart, and he couldn't think of any way in his mind.
When he saw Fan Yuncheng packing up and preparing to go out, he couldn't help but stop: "My lord, do you have to go to Lord Zhu?"
Fan Yuncheng saw the concern on his face and knew why he was so anxious, but if Lord Zhu was really sick, no matter how difficult it was, he still had to rush over to take a look at his old boss.
"Zhenyue, I know what you're worried about------ don't worry, if those people really want to kill me, I can't hide from it. β
"Do you want me to go home and call Fan Jun over, and the two of us will protect you together?" Zhang Zhenyue thought to himself, and he would be more down-to-earth with one more person.
Fan Yuncheng shook his head, he was not worried about himself at this time, what he was worried about was the family members who had followed him for many years, now that Yan Fei was no longer at home, if there was no one in the family who could protect them, he was afraid that something would really happen.
Zhang Zhenyue had no choice but to follow him out. This Lord Fan Yuncheng has always liked walking, and Zhang Zhenyue has followed him in the past few years, and he has become accustomed to this method of travel.
It wasn't until the end of the day that they walked to Zhu Muzhi's house in the suburbs, outside the house, there were two rows of tall willow trees, at this time it was the spring breeze and warm, the willow branches drooped down, swaying with the wind, if there were no troubles in their hearts, sitting under these willow trees at this time, they warmed a pot of wine with Lord Zhu, two small wine glasses, and the two poured wine and drank each other, but at this time Fan Yuncheng, the big stone in his heart was too heavy, and he sometimes felt that he was out of breath, this kind of pure-hearted and leisurely life, he was not blessed to enjoyγ
When he entered Zhu Muzhi's courtyard, Fan Yuncheng saw a carriage parked in the courtyard, although the carriage was only one horse, but this horse was full of energy and extremely strong, even a literati like Fan Yuncheng knew that it was a good horse at a glance.
When Zhu Muzhi heard movement in the courtyard, he hurriedly walked out. After he saw Fan Yuncheng, he stepped forward and shook his hand: "Yuncheng, there is nothing else to do along the way." β
Fan Yuncheng saw Zhu Muzhi's mental state at this time, and was stunned in his heart, the note said that Lord Zhu was not in good health, but today it seems that Lord Zhu has nothing to do, and his health is good.
Zhu Muzhi noticed the doubts in Fan Yuncheng's heart, and he smiled faintly: "I invite you to come, if you don't talk about my old bones, I'm afraid you won't come." β
Fan Yuncheng replied honestly: "When Lord Zhu wants me to come, I will come over whenever I want, and I haven't come because I am afraid of causing trouble for the boss." β
"Well------ you are right, but now it is not us who are going to cause trouble, but that trouble is coming to us. Zhu Muzhi sighed, "Come into the house and speak, you are not the only one who came today, but also an important person who has come to me." β
Fan Yuncheng was stunned again, he immediately thought of the carriage in the courtyard, it seemed that this person came by carriage, he followed Zhu Muzhi and hurriedly entered the house.
The person in the room, hearing the sound of them entering the door, was slowly turning around, Fan Yuncheng looked at the person in front of him, slightly stunned, this person himself had some impressions, but he didn't know who he was, at this moment, Zhang Zhenyue beside him was stunned and shouted: "General Wei, why are you here?"
Fan Yuncheng experienced Zhang Zhenyue's shout, and suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was Wei Rui Wei Huaiwen, who was the assassin of Yongzhou at the time.
That Zhang Zhenyue stepped forward to salute, Wei Rui hurriedly stopped him and said, "Lord Zhang, you have worked hard in the past few years. β
Zhang Zhenyue smiled embarrassedly: "General, don't talk about it, I haven't done anything great in the past few years." β
Wei Rui smiled and said: "You have a great credit, you have protected Lord Fan so well in the past few years, this is your greatest credit." β
Fan Yuncheng looked at Wei Rui gratefully, this person is quick to think, and smart and witty is incomparable, it turns out that he has been able to get along well all these years, it is because of this General Wei's thoughtfulness that he was lucky to save his life.
"General Wei, Yun Cheng is here------ thank you general. Fan Yuncheng bowed and thanked Wei Rui.
Wei Rui hurriedly supported Fan Yuncheng and refused to accept his big gift: "Master Fan, don't be like this, between you and me, there is no need to be so polite." β
Zhu Muzhi looked at the two senior officials of the court in front of him, smiling with his beard, he remembered that these two adults still had something to discuss, so he took Zhang Zhenyue's hand and said to him: "How about Lord Zhang go to the next room and play two games of chess with the old man?"
"This ------ my chess skills are too ordinary. Zhang Zhenyue grinned, "Master Zhu, you can really pick people, and play chess with the officials, you must win the game." β
"Then you let the old man win a few more games. Zhu Muzhi couldn't help but say and pulled him out.
Wei Rui motioned for Fan Yuncheng to sit down, both of them were extremely uneasy in their hearts, Fan Yuncheng couldn't imagine that he could see General Wei in Lord Zhu's home, since Fan Jun went home, he often mentioned this General Wei, took care of him in the army, and treated him like his own son, thinking that his eldest son could return home safely, it must be thanks to the general's full protection.
"General Wei------ Fan wants to thank you for taking care of the dog, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid he would have ------ long ago" Fan Yuncheng couldn't talk anymore when he thought of his son's suffering.
Wei Rui knew that he was a father, and when he saw his son's pain, the sadness and sadness in his heart, he comforted him gently: "Lord Fan, Fan Jun's affairs have all passed, and I don't favor him much in the army, because he is extremely intelligent, and he is brave, and he can apply what he has learned in the art of war formation and reconnaissance techniques, and the reason why I Wei Rui was able to achieve Zhongli's victory is also thanks to Fan Jun's assistance." I just have too many regrets that I couldn't get an official position in the army for him------Alas, if I don't need a talent like Daliang, how can I fight against foreign enemies in the future?"
Fan Yuncheng knew that Wei Rui in front of him cherished his son's talent, but the official position in this big beam didn't matter whether he wanted it or not, even if that official did it no matter how big it was, the emperor could take all the official positions on him with a word, and at that time, what was the difference between him and the ordinary people?
"General, why did you also come to Lord Zhu's mansion today?" Fan Yuncheng asked strangely.
Wei Rui smiled: "Lord Fan, today's appointment is a letter from me asking Lord Zhu to send to Lord Fan. β
Fan Yuncheng looked at Wei Rui puzzled, if General Wei wanted to see him, it would be too easy, why did he bother to come here to meet him?
"In Dali Temple, there are too many things that are not easy to say------ Lord Fan must understand the meaning of my words, and I came to Lord Zhu's house today, all because of me Wei Rui, and I have important things to talk about with Lord Fan. The look on Wei Rui's face was a little heavy, he didn't know what physical evidence Fan Yuncheng had in his hands at this time.
Fan Yuncheng lowered his head and was silent for a while before he raised his head and asked, "What General Wei is referring to is Lord Zhang Yuanzhi's case." β
"Exactly!" Wei Rui nodded, "The emperor has already passed on a decree to the last general, asking me to work with Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to try this case together." β
"Why didn't General Wei just deal with this matter on the surface, but wanted to talk to me about it privately?" asked Fan Yuncheng puzzled.
"Lord Fan, what I want to know now is what evidence do you have in your hands to find the murderer of Lord Zhang's family?" Wei Rui asked sincerely.
Fan Yuncheng's gaze gradually dimmed, he didn't know how to tell Wei Rui about these things, these things were too bizarre to say, and they couldn't be explained in a word.
"General Wei, this matter has to start with an old case more than 20 years ago, do you want to listen to me. Fan Yuncheng asked.
Wei Rui twinked the long beard under his chin, smiled and said, "Since there is a story to hear, of course I am willing to listen to it." β
