The child held Wei Cheng's hand and said cautiously: "Mother, mother pushed daddy, daddy is injured."
As soon as the child said this, everyone in the room looked unhappy.
Although the child spoke intermittently and incoherently, Zhao Jin understood what he meant.
Wei Cheng was injured because Mrs. Wei pushed him?
Did he accidentally push him, or did he push Aicheng to block the knife?
Zhao Jin prefers the latter.
In the situation just now, no matter how much the two of them quarreled, they had no intention of starting a fight.
Zhao Jin raised his head and looked at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu understood and took Mrs. Wei down directly.
"My lord! My lord! This is just a child's nonsense."
Zhao Jin didn't give Mrs. Wei any of his peripheral vision, and raised his hand to touch the child's head, "Don't be afraid, your father will wake up soon, and your uncle will protect you."
The child nodded vigorously.
"Good boy." Zhao Jin smiled.
When Wei Cheng woke up, it was already the second day, with a small dumpling sleeping in his arms.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his son sleeping soundly, and the feeling of happiness that he had survived the disaster came to his heart at this moment.
Wei Cheng carefully covered the wound on his abdomen and stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
The people guarding the door were Zhao Jin and Chen Xiao.
"Are you awake?" A soldier glanced at the wound that Acropolis was covering, "You'd better go and lie down. Although this injury can't kill you, the wound is really not shallow."
Wei Cheng shook his head, "I want to wash up and tell Duke Xuanping something important."
After hearing this, the soldier did not force himself, and asked someone to get him water to wash up, and then led the people to see Zhao Jin.
The sound of "Tuk-tuk-tuk" sounded, and Zhao Jin said quietly: "Come in."
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and an unexpected voice sounded, "I am here to see Duke Xuanping."
Zhao Jin looked up in surprise and saw the Acropolis.
"You are still injured, why did you get out of bed now?"
The soldiers who had brought them to the Acropolis had wisely retreated.
Wei Cheng smiled and said, "It's just some flesh wounds, nothing serious."
Looking at his pale face and lips, Zhao Jin couldn't believe what he said.
But Wei Cheng came to see him even though he was still wounded, so there must be something important.
Zhao Jin had no choice but to have someone bring a chair and let Wei Cheng sit down before saying, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"My lord, my official knows that my lord is investigating the county magistrate's private manufacture of salt."
Wei Cheng handed over to Zhao Jin with a solemn expression, "I don't know if the Duke of Guo has made any progress, but the county governor is particularly cautious about this matter, and now no officials of all sizes in Guanlong County dare to mention it.
and this matter.”
"Because our wealth and lives are in the hands of the county governor."
He only helped the Duke once, but he was hunted down by Wang Xikang and charged with these crimes.
If the Duke hadn't saved him, his whole family would have been dead by now.
Zhao Jin rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I understand that you have no choice but to do so."
Wei Cheng gave a bitter smile, what was the last resort? It was just cowardice.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be this witness." Wei Cheng said his purpose.
Zhao Jin's expression became more solemn, "Have you thought clearly? You should understand that there is someone above Wang Xikang."
"Once you agree to be this witness, the pursuit will really continue."
Wei Cheng smiled and said, "I have thought it over clearly. He is unlikely to spare my life now anyway, so I might as well do something for the people."
"Also, although I don't know where their account books are kept, I know where the seal of the privately made salt seal is."
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Jin stood up from his chair.
"Do you know where the seal is?"
Seals and account books, as long as there is one of them, Wang Xikang will not be able to escape.
Although Mingrui has agreed, it is still unknown whether he can find and take out the account books.
If you can get the seal, it will undoubtedly be an added layer of protection.
"Where is the seal?" Zhao Jin's voice rarely sounded a little anxious.
"The seal will be placed in the courtroom."
As soon as Wei Cheng said this, Zhao Jin was stunned for a while?
The court was a place he had never expected.
Ai Cheng continued: "There is a hidden compartment on the side of the painting of a blue sky and white sun above the court hall, and the seal is placed there."
This is what he saw accidentally once.
He had been hesitant to tell the officials who came to investigate the news for fear of getting into trouble.
But now that the matter has come to this, it is just the right time to tell Zhao Jin the news, so that he does not have to suffer from the torture of conscience every day.
Zhao Jin frowned and said, "Okay, since you have made such a great contribution, I will report it to Your Majesty."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo."
Zhao Jin suddenly remembered something, "Did your wife push you out to block the knife?"
Wei Cheng sighed heavily, "It's all over."
Obviously, he didn't want to say more, and even said: "I asked the Duke to keep this matter secret. She has indeed suffered a lot from following me these years."
"If word of this gets out, I'm afraid she will have a hard time in the future."
This is Wei Cheng's family matter, and Zhao Jin can't interfere, so he just said: "How do you plan to deal with it? If you need my help, just say so."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Guo. I will make peace with her."
Although Aicheng still maintained Mrs. Wei's reputation, after this incident, she could no longer live with her without grudges.
"She has always felt aggrieved by being with her subordinate, so she should just make peace with her."
Zhao Jin nodded and said no more, "You should give birth and rest first, and recover from your injuries first."
"yes."
After Wei Cheng left, Zhao Jin immediately asked Bai Wu to confirm whether the seal was there.
"If it's there, don't take it away yet."
Zhao Jin paced back and forth in the room, "Stay there for now."
"Master Guo, why?" Bai Wu frowned, "Wouldn't it be a one-and-done thing if I took it away?"
Zhao Jin glanced at him and asked, "What do you think Chen Xiao's two thousand people can do?"
Bai Wu immediately understood Zhao Jin's worries, "The Duke is worried that Wang Xikang has been forced to panic and directly sends troops to surround and kill us?"
"When a person is forced into a desperate situation, he can do anything."
Zhao Jin raised his eyelids and said quietly: "These two thousand soldiers can escort us back to Bianzhou."
"Wait for Mingrui to take out the account book and see if the evidence is sufficient, then take out the seal and leave Guanlong County directly."
Bai Wu bowed his head.
Half an hour later, Bai Wu came back from the investigation and said, "There is indeed a seal there. My subordinates have checked it. It is the seal on a privately made salt seal."
Zhao Jin sneered, "He will choose a place to hide, and then people will stare at him to prevent him from moving away again."
