Chapter 63 Retribution
The Gu family quickly went to find Gongshunhou.
At the same time, the Sheng family's case is in full swing.
Wei Minzhai left the yamen of the Fushi Office, and went straight to Baoding Tower. This was once a golden-cut cave with many sensuality. Now... he ordered his subordinates to surround the restaurant that was famous in the capital city, and soon brought out many people with different dresses from it.
Yang Yuqing hid in the crowd, silently pressed off her hat, slowly squeezed out of the crowd, and left in the opposite direction.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiang Wentian came up and asked him with some anxiety how things were going.
Yang Yuqing patted his shoulder to relieve him: "Don't worry, things went well. Now even the matter of Baoding Tower has been revealed. The Sheng family's crime is now a foregone conclusion. It depends on how the emperor sentenced it."
Xiang Wentian breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was still very complicated. He shook his head and whispered to himself: "No, if that matter is not said, it will not be..."
He guessed that there was some truth. Wei Minzhai, who solved the Baoding Tower incident, successfully withdrew his troops, but did not follow the prisoners back to the yamen of the Pacification Office first, but went to an absolutely secret place first.
As soon as he entered the door, he tickled and saw Yang Yuqing and Xiang Wentian and others, he turned his hands into claws and quickly attacked them.
This is Zhu Yuan's territory. Seeing that the visitor was a ruthless move, Yang Yuqing and Xiang Wentian did not dare to be negligent at all. They fought with a twelve point spirit, and they were hard to part with the battle. After a while, Wei Minzhai gradually stopped under Yang Airan's participation in the battle, stopped and bowed to them, and said to Zhu Yuan: "No wonder you can enter Beijing safely all the way. It turns out that there are dragons and tigers around you."
These people are all expert in actual combat, and even he is unable to resist the attacks of several of them. Where did Zhu Yuan find so many right-hand assistants?
Zhu Yuan smiled but didn't say anything, and did not intend to share their identities with Wei Minzhai. Seeing Wei Minzhai stopping, he asked him: "What have you gained from Commander Wei?"
Wei Minzhai stopped and turned his head to look at her. After a while, he moved his eyes and smiled: "It's not a question of any gains, but it's just a blessing for Miss Zhu. This time, he has already captured the ironclad evidence that they colluded with the Tatars and accepted bribes. Why does Miss Zhu still seem to be depressed?"
In Wei Minzhai's opinion, the death knell of the Sheng family has really sounded.
This is something that even the fifth prince and Concubine Sheng cannot change.
In fact, yesterday, Concubine Sheng took off her hairpin and plain clothes and asked to see the emperor to plead for the Sheng family, but it was useless.
Even the fourth prince, who had always been favored, personally pleaded for his grandfather, Emperor Jiaping did not express his opinion just to let him work hard and scold his master.
All signs indicate that the Sheng family will inevitably collapse.
"So that's how Commander Wei thinks?" Zhu Yuan sighed and interrupted Wei Minzhai's prediction with pessimism: "I don't think so. In my opinion, although these crimes seem to be very serious, they are not enough to make the emperor really kill Chang Ying and Sheng Ge Lao. For nothing else, the emperor is a kind person today. He has feelings for Sheng Ge Lao and Chang Ying who have been with him for so many years. Now perhaps he will not be soft-hearted to them in anger, but when he comes to his senses, he will definitely regret it."
This is also a lesson from the past.
"I heard that the struggle between the court never made concessions, because the result is usually the life-and-death battle, and there is no peace." Zhu Yuan calmly analyzed: "And I thought that the position of the commander of the guard should have wanted me to do this, otherwise, the commander of the guard would not come to me for help, right?"
Yes, after the Imperial Garden incident, Wei Minzhai came to her and asked her to help.
Isn't it just for today?
Wei Minzhai's smile was calm on his face. After looking at Zhu Yuan seriously for a moment, he said seriously: "Luckily, you are a girl. If you were a man, you might not have lived today."
In the eyes of Mr. Sheng Ge and others, if it weren't for her being a woman, they felt that she would not have caused much trouble due to her status and status, and she would have been killed by everything.
Zhu Yuan nodded, expressing his recognition of this.
She was lucky, so what can't be admitted?
After these clichés were finished, Zhu Yuan finally threw out his last bargaining chip: "Commander Wei, can you trust me?"
Wei Minzhai put away his sword, took a little carelessness with him, and asked Zhu Yuan: "Do you think it is a kind of person who believes it, or is Miss Zhu planning to let me learn Su Wanli, take advantage of my life, take advantage of the future of the entire clan, and take advantage of this with you?"
This doesn't sound like a good thing.
Zhu Yuan nodded straight away, not denying it. Instead, he nodded when Wei Minzhai showed a sneer: "Commander Wei will bet with me, right?"
"Why do you think so?" Wei Minzhai didn't appreciate her face and asked her coldly: "Miss Zhu is sure that I can do what Su Wanli is like?"
"Because I know that it is not easy for Commander Wei to achieve this position, and I also know that Commander Wei can step on Wei Shunhui because he went to the northwest to join the army without hesitation at the age of eleven, and struggled to this day." Zhu Yuan calmly replied: "If you don't show the ability to trust that Old Master Wei can take the lead in the Wei family and lead the Wei family out of the quagmire, I believe that it is not easy for you to grasp the entire Wei family, right?"
He lost his father at a young age, and his mother was bullied by his sister-in-law, so he could not get their open title.
In fact, this title has been hanging empty for more than ten years and may be taken back by the Lord at any time.
Because Empress Wei's position in Emperor Jiaping's heart was not enough to ask Emperor Jiaping to return the title of Marquis Cheng'en to the Wei family.
Especially Wei Minzhai's father, who had already inherited the title, died early. At that time, the Wei family was fighting for property, and it made many jokes about this matter, which made Emperor Jiaping more justified in taking back the title.
If Wei Minzhai wants to get back what belongs to him, of course he has to take out something that Wei Jia surrenders.
What better way is there to take back the title that he should have obtained, but now it is embarrassing to the Wei family?
And he was already considered a great achievement. In addition to making greater contributions to becoming the emperor's confidant, what else could impress Emperor Jiaping, who did not like the queen?
Wei Minzhai didn't hesitate for too long and turned to ask her: "What do you want me to do?"
