Wei Huai saw that they were outnumbered and couldn't struggle for a while, so he raised his head forcibly and angrily said: "My academy has been operating here for many years, and the government has never regarded it as rebellion! I suddenly said that I broke the law today, and I am clearly trying to impose a crime.
How to convince the public!"
The followers behind him also gradually gathered around him, wanting to ask for an explanation. The officer hurriedly pressed his sword and shouted back: "I have an arrest order from King Wanjun. If you don't know what is going on, don't interfere. You can quickly retreat to
Stay aside, otherwise you will be treated as an ally!"
After that, with an order, the officers and soldiers under his command fired their guns and drove the crowd away, and they dispersed in a moment.
"Don't use tricks, tell me clearly..." Wei Huai looked at his back and said through gritted teeth.
"Haha, whatever tricks I could have, they are all facts, but you bite me back." He clapped his hands, laughed, and walked up to Wei Huai, "Your academy cooperates in a good manner on the surface, but secretly incites the people,
What do you want to do... As the dean, you don’t know, right?"
Wei Huai stared at him straightly, but at this moment he was so troubled that he couldn't express his feelings.
"Since you are no longer quibbling, I am probably convinced of your guilt. I will take you to the Yamen now and wait for Mr. Ye's disposal!"
Half an hour later.
"release."
Ye Yongjia sat in the main seat of the second hall. After pouring a cup of tea for the officer, he softly said these words.
The officer came from outside the city and ran all the way. His mouth was very thirsty. He was about to drink it all in one gulp, but he was startled by his words: "Let go? Could it be that you are asking me to let go of the criminal's bonds?"
"Where are the criminals?" Ye Yongjia looked at the disheveled Wei Huai in the hall and sneered, "This is a famous scholar in Nanjing and a court official. Even if there are unscrupulous people in his academy, it is not his fault. He is still
The Imperial Academy has offered wine and has not yet been dismissed from office, so how can one be rashly convicted! Untie him."
The officer was furious, but he did not dare to get angry. He could only laugh and said, "This is what King Wanjun ordered the young men to do. I have no power to make the decision. Please forgive me, Lord Futai."
Ye Yongjia did not answer immediately, but showed a murderous gaze, burning like a flame: "You brought him to me, you must obey my order, there is no king of Wanjun here! I said you
Let him go and stop nagging, do you hear me?!"
"You..." The officer raised his head and looked at him, but he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and felt weak. He was obviously intimidated by Ye Yongjia's majesty. He hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes twice, and then reluctantly looked down.
He ordered: "Here... untie Mr. Wei."
The soldiers looked at each other in confusion, said "yes" listlessly, then drew their swords and cut the hemp rope into several pieces, took the cane and bowed to Wei Huai with a slight apology.
"Can he go back?" Ye Yongjia asked the officer, pointing at Mr. Wei who stood up.
"he……"
"The academy has not been sealed off, just a few people have been arrested. It is reasonable for the dean to go to stabilize the situation, and the military master should not stop him."
The officer was so suppressed that his face was purple, and he nodded his head with difficulty: "Everything is at your discretion."
The officer returned to Wanfu in a hurry and vented all his anger in front of Wan Heshun. He complained bitterly about Ye Yongjia's evil deeds and his voice was so fierce that he almost broke his front teeth.
Although Wan Heshun was very angry, he also knew that this was not a good opportunity to arrest Wei Huai. Today was just to bluff everyone in the academy. He calmly replied: "I am aware of what you said. But I hate this Wei."
I can't do anything to him now. Don't blame yourself too much for this. Destruction of the academy cannot be achieved overnight. You can first imprison the two thieves Bai and Meng, and then force them to disintegrate from the inside."
The academy fell into panic. Just when everyone was at a loss, someone reported that there was an unkempt gentleman in short clothes limping outside the door. They all went to the wall to look, and it turned out to be their academy.
It has grown back.
Xia Yuanlong hurriedly opened the door and sent two bookboys to help Wei Huai in.
"Brother Jimin, are you okay?" Yuan Long looked at his whole body and asked eagerly.
Wei Huai shook his head repeatedly and said with a bitter smile: "Renying, don't worry, everyone, don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to me yet. Mr. Ye let me go, saying that King Wanjun has not punished the academy with law, but the New Deal is afraid that it will be suspended."
"Now we don't care about the new policy or not. Let's solve the urgent needs first. Mr. Wei, let's go into the room to discuss." Yuan Long greeted everyone and crowded into the meeting hall.
"According to what I learned, the two colleagues Bai and Meng have been forced to confess. If there is no interference, what crime should be considered for treason... I believe you all understand." Xia Yuanlong pondered for a few times and looked at Wei Huai worriedly.
.
Everyone started making noises, shouting with grief and indignation, cursing all the thieves, and trying to get an explanation for the two of them. But Wei Huai, with a frown on his face, seemed to be deep in thought, and sat there blankly, without saying a word.
Xia Yuanlong hurriedly came out to stabilize order: "Colleagues, I can understand everyone's anger, and Mr. Wei can understand it. But there is no reason to argue. If you calm down, there will be a solution."
Everyone bowed their hands and sat down obediently.
"Renying... can we really save him with our own strength?" Wei Huai looked confused and moved a finger slowly on his lips.
Xia Yuanlong was shocked at first, and then seeing him like this, he actually felt a little inexplicable nausea in his heart, so he replied coldly: "Although our preemptive plan failed, the public opinion accumulated in these days has been deeply rooted, and now such a fuss has been made."
The people's hatred of the government has reached its peak due to the incident. If we correctly call and direct them to block the main roads with great momentum, all parties will inevitably give in for fear of chaos. You and I have experienced victory, so why hesitate!"
Wei Huai couldn't figure out whether he was really scared or for some reason, but he didn't dare to move now. He seemed to be struggling hard in his heart. He was not sure.
"I...I've thought about it a few times, okay?" Wei Huai finally followed his original intention.
"Colleagues," facing the suspicious and weird looks of all the characters, he wanted to close his eyes, "I've been really tired recently, and the events that followed are almost destroying me physically and mentally... I need some quiet time.
Meditate and I will naturally give you an answer."
He rubbed his temples and held the cane: "Also, I, Wei Huai, have no ability. I rely on everyone's recommendation. I just took on the job. If you are dissatisfied, please speak up." He dragged his frail body and counted for several days.
Qianji left the house under the watchful eye.
Xia Yuanlong kept smiling bitterly. He thought that Wei Huai's mood had changed long ago, but the academy leader he expected did not appear. It was still the original Wei Huai. The invisible pressure that the latter could not express could be fully satisfied by Xia Yuanlong.
explanation - perhaps, Xia Yuanlong understands himself better than he does.
