After Wang Lun read the words about offering wine and salary to Wei, he retired, leaving only Wan, Shun, Ye Yongjia and other adults inside to have a long talk with Wei Huai.
He felt bored in the hall, so he ordered the sergeant guarding the hall: "It's cold, and I'm walking in the yard. If you call me for anything, please let me know." After that, he walked out of the hall.
At that time, he was walking in the yard, only looking up to admire the flowers and scenery, but he didn't pay attention to the slippery road, stumbled under his feet, and fell down.
Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind his ear: "Counsellor Wang, are you okay?"
Wang Lun was not very familiar with the voice, so he quickly turned around and saw that it was an official in plain clothes, but he didn't recognize it.
"Who are you?" He got up from the ground and looked at the subordinate official and asked.
"I am a civil servant from Yue Mansion!" he shouted, raising his voice.
When Wang Lun heard this, his whole body was numb and his face turned pale. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and yelled: "You want to fucking kill me, get out of here!" He said, holding up his fists with both hands.
Hit him head-on to drive him out of the house.
The man was forced to the corner door and refused to leave. He grabbed the door panel with both hands, leaving two bloody marks.
Wang Lun was afraid that others would see him, so he looked around with a slight hesitation. The official took this opportunity to press his fist with his backhand and persuaded: "Senior Wang, stop being angry. There are several corridors leading here...
…If we fight for a long time, people will come to watch, so why bother causing trouble?"
Wang Lun gritted his teeth and ignored his words. He picked up his left hand and hit him directly on the cheek, cursing: "You bastard! You are clearly following Lu Fangxuan's orders and want to create a estrangement. I
How can I let you go!"
The man couldn't hold back his fists. After hearing this, he burst into tears and begged for mercy: "Now that you have seen through my intentions, what is the use of leaving me here? I am willing to hand over the money in my pocket and beg for forgiveness!"
Wang Lun stopped immediately. When he saw the official spitting out a few broken teeth, he regretted that he had struck too hard. Knowing that he had brought money, he tore off his trousers and shouted: "When you go back today, I just want to talk to you."
Mr. Lu said, Mr. Wan will not accept his despicable tricks..."
He took out a few taels of silver from his bag and snorted: "Get out!"
The literary official kowtowed and thanked him, then rolled and crawled, pushed open the corner door and left.
Wang Lun was still staring at the snowflake silver. Suddenly he heard someone coughing slightly behind him. He collected the silver in a hurry and looked back with a weak look in his eyes.
"Counsellor Wang, you'd better take a walk inside. Don't be too far away from us." A soldier said.
"Oh..." Wang Lun smiled at him and nodded, "I was just relieving myself, no need to rush... I'll be there right away."
The sergeant watched him coming from the corner gate, but he just lowered his head, said nothing, and gradually walked away.
The soldier originally suspected that Wang Lun was harboring a ghost, but now that no one was there, he boldly went in and quietly approached the corner gate.
He first felt around on the wall, but nothing was left; then he lowered his head and groped in the grass, but still couldn't find any traces. Just as he was wondering, he turned around and saw that there was a crack in the door, which had not yet been locked.
The sergeant thought: There must be someone who wants to ask Councilor Wang to do something, and he is afraid that people will see him collecting dirty money, so he gives him money here.
Thinking of this, he reached in and found a letter. The soldier was surprised and happy. He hurriedly opened it and looked at it, but there was a scrawled official document with no money inside. He sighed as if he was disappointed.
, then he crumpled the letter into a ball and kicked it in the corner.
However, when he turned back and took two or three steps, he suddenly remembered that the official document was not stamped, and was secretly shocked. He quickly ran back and found the so-called "official document" again to read it.
Then, he opened his eyes wider and wider, rolled his eyes several times in surprise, glanced up and down three or four times, then clapped his hands and shouted: "Amazing!"
"Mr. Wei." When Wan Heshun said this, he only tilted his eyes, and the officials on both sides stepped back in understanding.
"Prefect Ye, just wait here and you are not allowed to go out."
"Yes." Ye Yongjia didn't dare to disobey and turned back.
Wei Huaisu knew that Prince Wan was not easy to mess with, not to mention that he had once tricked him and suffered a big loss, so he did not dare to act rashly.
It's a pity that Xia Yuanlong is not around anymore, so he can only glance at Ye Yongjia from time to time, hoping that he will give even a little bit of advice. However, in front of Wan Heshun, this is impossible.
Wei Huai had no choice but to test his tone first and offered him a cup of tea with a smile: "Prince, Wei Huai is so virtuous that he dares to receive this plaque? It's just his duty to do his best for the country."
Wan He took a sip of tea and said, "Since I have given you this as a gift, there is no need to be overly modest again."
"But..." The beard at the corner of his mouth that was wet with tea trembled slightly.
Wei Huai was pouring tea when his hands suddenly trembled and a few drops of water spilled out, splashing on his sleeves. Wei Huai was shocked, wiped the tea away hastily, raised his hands in a salute and said: "My lord... just say it clearly.
.”
Wan Heshun was about to speak when he saw a sergeant rolling in with a troubled look on his face. He hurriedly walked up to him and whispered a few words. Wan Heshun nodded, then waved him out, then turned around and smiled, his voice
Even louder: "Mr. Wei, people outside have some things to do and have already given orders."
After saying that, he changed the topic and sighed: "I will continue what I just said. Although sir, you are devoted to the country, but it is difficult to carry out your policy of cutting redundant officials. This... This really makes me difficult."
"No one dares to disobey the order of the county king. I try my best to do it myself. I feel ashamed that I can't solve the situation. I hope the county king will forgive me." Ye Yongjia said hurriedly.
Wan Heshun smacked his lips: "Oh, my words are not directed at you, Tinglong, so why do you need to apologize?"
Ye Yongjia knelt down hurriedly: "Even if the prince can forgive the official, I'm afraid the people can't." As he said this, he took off his official hat and handed it to Wan Heshun: "I beg the king to give up the official position of the villain, in order to save a few people."
Have a good day!"
"This! Alas..." Wan Heshun looked at Wei Huai with a sad face and tearful eyes.
Wei Huai had no choice but to bow down and say: "If we can save Nanjing from danger, we will not be afraid of death. But there is no good way now, how about..."
Wan Heshun didn't wait for Wei Huai to finish speaking, and held his hand tightly: "Since Jiujiu is willing to help, he doesn't have to worry about anything!"
"Then what's your idea...?" Wei Huai was a little nervous.
"I'm going to invite you to drink wine and write another letter to urge all departments to take action and cut redundant work. Your name is famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Once you say this, officials big and small will not dare to neglect you. The current crisis can be saved."
Without thinking, Wei Huai said: "What the prince said makes sense. Huai will pay homage immediately."
King Wanjun smiled kindly: "Mr. Wei, since the matter has been decided, there is no need to be anxious. I have said everything I should say, so I will not disturb you any more."
He stretched out his arms, stood up slowly, looked out the door, and shouted: "Go home!"
