Under the clear blue sky, the exquisite pavilions are hidden among the red walls and green tiles. The high gates and deep courtyards are full of exotic flowers and plants, and the lush trees are tall and handsome.
The air is fresh and fresh, the clear water is cold, the pond is surrounded by water, and the ground is covered with duckweeds, which is clear and clear.
Both Caobang and Yanbang thrived on water, and the ancestral temple of the Wei family also lived near the water.
This time, a high platform was built near the lake for the weak crown ceremony, and dignitaries from Puyang City were invited, and people from the government also came to congratulate.
Because Wei Qinghan killed Xiao Zhuyin, the marriage between the Xiao and Wei families fell through. Now the relationship between the two families is on thin ice. They only sell private salt together and ride on the same boat, so they have to attend.
Today's Wei Moxuan is different from before. He is dressed in a blue robe, with his beard shaved off his chin. His facial features are clean and handsome, and his eyes are calm and waveless, like a lake that cannot be penetrated at a glance, making it impossible to explore.
Today, Wei Qinglian is dressed in fiery red, outlining her graceful figure, with burning flames like a red lotus bathing in fire.
Looking at Wei Moxuan who has regained his former splendor, he has a more mature temperament than the previous bohemian, and is not as decadent as before. Now that he has grown up, he can safely entrust the family business to him.
She can then let go of her heavy burden and leave her beloved, wherever she goes, before things are revealed.
He looked at the people who came to watch the ceremony with a happy expression, and according to the rules of the Wei family, the sacrificial ceremony must be held before the weak crown ceremony can be performed.
The head of the Wei family personally put the crown on Wei Moxuan. Everything was done according to the procedures. Wei Qinglian put the jade crown on his head with her own hands.
"It's done!
Next, she was about to announce that she would relinquish her position as the head of the family. Before she could speak, the crowd shouted loudly, "Stop! I have something to say."
At the same time, in the crowd, Wei Zhongkun's black figure jumped onto the high platform. Everyone was puzzled and talked about it.
Wei Qinglian had already taken precautions and said calmly: "I wonder what happened to my second uncle?"
Wei Zhongkun took out two books of accounts from his arms and held them up in his hand, looking at the crowd under the high platform, "In the past three years, the two siblings on the stage have used the canal gang to transport private salt to make huge profits. The account books in my hand are
Evidence that the two committed a crime!”
Everyone was in an uproar as soon as this statement came out. Murong Yingluo and Si Wushang, who were sitting at the bottom, looked calmly at the performance of the three people on the stage.
When Wei Moxuan heard Wei Zhongkun's accusation, he hurriedly stood up and said: "Second uncle, the Wei family's account books are very secretive. How did you get the account books?"
"No matter how I obtained my account books, as long as I hand them over to the Salt Transport Envoy for appraisal, everything will be clear."
"Send it over!" Murong Yingluo said.
Wei Zhongkun had already sent two account books to Murong Yingluo. Yingluo took one of them in her hand and handed the other to Si Wushang beside her.
In the audience, the Xiao family members were indeed a little restless. The smuggling of private salt involved the Cao Gang. When Wei Qinglian proposed cooperation, the risks were already foreseen. They set up two separate accounts and did not talk about each other. In this way, the court
If you interfere, things will be very difficult.
Wei Qinglian was not in a hurry at all. She glanced at Wei Moxuan and saw that they were acting together. The Wei family had been wary of Wei Zhongkun for a long time. How could they let him have access to the real account books?
The account books were made in triplicate, only one was authentic, the one given to Murong Yingluo was fake, and the one in Wei Zhongkun's hands was still fake.
Wei Qinglian looked at Wei Zhongkun with cold eyes, "Second uncle, what do you want to do so much? Do you want to usurp your niece's position as the head of the family?"
"You two, brother and sister, joined forces to sell illegal salt, which is against the law. I just can't stand it. I heard that the censor came here to expose your crime!"
When Wei Qinglian heard Wei Zhongkun's high-sounding explanation, it was very ridiculous, and she laughed a few times, but it made people feel scared from the bottom of her heart.
"why are you laughing?"
"Second uncle, I'm laughing at you. You're pathetic! Qinghan is dead. As long as you put our siblings in jail, you can take the position of the head of the Wei family. It's a pity that you are not qualified in this life, because you, second uncle, are not qualified at all.
He is not a descendant of the Wei family. My second uncle is the grandson of the nanny, and your family name is Zhang."
Wei Zhongkun looked horrified and sneered: "You are a yellow-haired girl, and you talk nonsense in front of your ancestors and disturb the bloodline." Even Wei Moxuan was surprised by this statement.
Wei Qinglian said firmly: "How dare Qinglian deceive our ancestors? Qinglian just guessed that her second uncle would do this today. She wore the letterhead left by her grandmother before her death as a certificate. It was clear on it.
I still remember that thirty-two years ago, my grandfather came into his old age and had a son. The number of Wei family heirs was so thin that it was passed on to my grandfather’s generation. It was an even greater joy for my grandfather to come into his old age and have a son.”
"At that time, my grandfather went to Lan State to discuss the salt transportation business, and my grandmother was about to give birth. Unfortunately, my grandmother was too old, and the baby boy she gave birth to was stillborn."
The nanny couldn't bear the suffering of her grandmother, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to give her grandson a good background, so she secretly removed the child."
Wei Zhongkun didn't believe it and said hysterically: "It's impossible!"
When he wanted to rush forward, Wei Qinglian's bodyguards were standing in front of him, preventing him from getting close.
Wei Qinglian continued: "Things can never be settled. After all, my second uncle is not a descendant of the Wei family. His hair is not curly, and his increasingly straight hooked nose is particularly obvious. My grandfather suspected that my grandmother would steal talents secretly.
Lai Dezi almost beat my grandmother to death, so the wet nurse told the truth."
After all, the son who has been cherished in his hands for five years has a deep affection. His father is getting older and running around doing business. Grandfather really needs his children to accompany him, so this matter has been acquiesced. The Wei family has left a rule for their second uncle.
, you are not allowed to take over the position of the head of the Wei family. If you marry a wife and have children, you must leave the Wei family and establish another family."
Wei Zhongkun looked at the letter and saw that it was the same. He always hated the Wei family for being unfair to him. The position of head of the family was not passed on to him but was passed on to a yellow-haired girl. He never married a wife because he did not want to leave Wei.
Family, his rape of Xiao Zhuyin was just a way of venting his anger towards the Wei family.
After struggling with love and hate for most of his life, it turned out that he was not from the Wei family at all. What was he fighting for? If he had known his life experience, maybe that poor woman Xiao Zhuyin would not have died!
From the beginning, Yingluo knew that the account books in Wei Zhongkun's hands were fake. The real account books were with them, and Wei Moxuan handed them over to them last night.
As the saying goes, a man must be punished for his life. Wei Zhongkun killed Wei Qinghan and was Xiao Zhuyin's adulterer. How could Wei Moxuan let Wei him go? In order to protect Wei Moxuan's position as the head of the family, they would also abandon Wei Zhongkun.
A chess piece.
Murong Yingluo took the two account books in her hands and said, "Wei Zhongkun, the two account books you submitted are all fake."
Wei Zhongkun has nothing to say now. Now he has nothing to do with the Wei family. He just hummed and walked off the platform."
"Come here! Apprehend the murderer of Wei Qinghan!" Hidden in the dark, the government detectives swarmed up.
Wei Zhongkun glared at Murong Yingluo with cold eyes, "You are so despicable! You want to get rid of them after you have used them!"
Yingluo doesn’t want to end up in a situation where the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked. The overall situation is more important. “Killing for life is not tolerated by the law!”
Watching Wei Zhongkun being escorted away, Yingluo looked at Wei Qinglian with cold eyes. Compared to Wei Zhongkun, Wei Qinglian's crime was punishable, and the poisonous salt matter was a major crime related to the rise and fall of the country.
"Wei Qinglian, do you know your guilt?"
Wei Qinglian was confused, "Sir, those two account books have been inspected and are not genuine."
"Those two account books are fake, but I have two real account books with me, which contain evidence that the head of the Wei family is selling illegal salt! Someone is here to arrest him!"
At the same time, strange guards rushed up from all around and surrounded Yingluo and others on the high platform. Yingluo said angrily: "Are you going to rebel?"
But seeing a man in black clothes with his face covered jump onto the high platform and block Wei Qinglian's side, Wei Qinglian exclaimed: "Fei Bai! Why are you here!"
Gongyichu ignored Wei Qinglian and looked at Murong Yingluo, who had an indifferent expression, with cold eyes. After three days of separation, they looked at each other with admiration and they were completely different from before.
"Murong Yingluo, you pretended to be a royal censor and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor! Should you die too?"
