Laiji's eyelids drooped: "The Tang Dynasty has been established for a long time, and the judiciary has gradually become more and more perfect. There is naturally a law to follow for everything, and things should be done in accordance with the law. No one can be above the law."
I regard you as a close friend, but you treat me like a fool. Do you really think that I am a temperless person who has no bottom line in order to cling to the lintel of Jingzhao-Webster?
In this case, let's get business done. Wei Wan was a little at a loss. He had just controlled his momentum too well. Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to deter the opponent, but he also had no room for change. He was embarrassed and scared, but in the end he still couldn't let it go, so he had to
Let go
Duan Yi bowed his head to the ground and said: "The dog has no shape and has caused trouble. However, as a father, I can't ignore death and save him. I hope the county magistrate can give me some advice on the relationship between the two families in the past. Jingzhao Weishi is very grateful."
Haha, now you remember the friendship between the two families? Although he was somewhat dissatisfied and did not expect Jingzhao Wei's gratitude, Lai Ji did not want to make things happen. He pondered for a while and said in a low voice: "This matter lies with the Prince of Xiangyi County.
, if the victim’s understanding can be obtained, this is the basis, and the people will not
The official will not investigate the case. But more importantly, it depends on the Duke of Yue. If he insists on punishing him severely in accordance with the law, even if the king of Xiangyi County wants to calm down the matter, he will not be able to do so."
Wei Wan was distressed and complained: "But my family has always had a quarrel with the Duke of Yue. How can we expect the Duke of Yue to show his favor?"
This was exactly what he was worried about. Not only would Fang Jun not be arrogant, but he would most likely be severely punished and add insult to injury. Over the years, Jingzhao Weishi has had little presence in the officialdom. The biggest reason is that there are no children in the clan.
There is no outstanding person. Wei Zhengju, the "Two Heroes of the Wei Family", finally emerged. Wei Shuxia, the former has been ruined.
Fang Jun's official career was almost cut off, so how could the latter be spared if he fell into his hands?
Wei Shuxia is his second son, but he ranks third among his cousins, so he is called Sanlang... Laiji sighed and said, "I have also heard about the talent of Sanlang in your family. It is said that he promoted the Ming Dynasty and was proficient in the "Three Rites".
》 He is a leader of the younger generation, and in time he will become something great. How can such a talented person be ruined by trivial matters?
Since the children of the family have such great qualities, they should strive for everything but also cultivate and protect them." Wei Shuxia has a rare reputation and amazing talents. Such children must be preserved no matter what the price, you Jingzhao Weishi
With hundreds of years of deep connections and entangled interests in Guanzhong, why can't we find an old relative and friend?
Go and ask Fang Jun for a favor?
As far as he knew, although Fang Jun was indeed a "bad guy" at times, he was not unruly and unruly. As long as he found the right person to intercede, he would most likely be able to give him face... Wei Wan obviously
I also know this, but if I want to find a suitable candidate and the other party is willing to come forward, there must be some exchange of interests, otherwise everyone knows that Jingzhao Weishi and Fang Jun are willing to
Make peace in the middle?
And now Jingzhao Webster is only an empty frame, and there are really not many benefits that can be exchanged...
There was a loud noise coming from the backyard.
Wei Wan frowned and said to Lai Ji, "Come to the county magistrate and wait a moment. I'll go take a look behind you."
"Now that the matter has come to this, I hope that the head of the family will not do anything that floutes the king's law, otherwise the consequences may be more serious."
"I understand what you mean. This matter needs to be put on the table and resolved in an orderly manner."
"exactly."
However, before Wei Wan could go to the backyard, the noise was getting closer and closer, and a large group of people protected an old woman with rich clothes, fair hair, and a cane walking out of the moon gate across the courtyard next to her.
Wei Wan hurriedly walked down the steps and stepped forward to greet her, saying quickly: "Why did mother come to the main hall at such a late hour without resting?"
The old woman hit Wei Wan on the shoulder with a cane and scolded: "If I don't come, our grandson will probably be killed by your thieves!" Lai Ji also came down the steps, but did not look at the bossy old woman.
, his eyes rested on the young man who was one step behind the old woman. His face was like a crown jewel, his grace was graceful, and his tall and thin figure seemed to stand out among the crowd, even though
His eyebrows were submissive and he said nothing, but he still made people notice him at a glance.
This person is missing in the caravan.
Wei Shuxia, known as the "Beautiful Jade of the Wei Family", is indeed a talented and beautiful woman with extraordinary grace...
Wei Wan was beaten and didn't even dare to hide. He only said with a grimace: "What did mother say? If Sanlang does something wrong, he must stand up and take responsibility. Avoiding it is not only useless, but may bring disaster to the family." The old woman
But he didn't listen at all, and said arrogantly: "I won't listen to your nonsense! Do you think I don't know that Fang Jun sent people to get him? He has a blood feud with my family. If Sanlang falls into his hands, there will be no way to survive. Who wants to take Sanlang away?
, unless you step on my corpse!"
Wei Wan was so worried that he didn't know what to say. Although the Wei family had a rift with Fang Jun, it was just a rift. It was the Yuan family that had a blood feud. What does it have to do with my Wei family? However, he was helpless in the face of his unreasonable and cumbersome old mother.
, could only glare at Wei Shuxia who was being protected by his mother, and shouted angrily: "Why are you so irresponsible? Since you dare to do such lawless and stupid things, don't come back and ask your grandmother to protect you. She can protect you."
Can I protect you for a while? If you still think that you are a descendant of my Wei family, then come to the county magistrate to explain the matter clearly. If you did it, you can be punished. If it is not you, no one can.
You can't frame Jingzhao Webster's children!" The old woman hit her son with a cane again and cursed: "What are you doing so loudly? Do you think I'm deaf? That bastard in the second room kills without blinking an eye, and the most cruel and vicious Saburo fell into his hands.
There must have been torture, frame-up and frame-up in every possible way. I feel most sorry for you.
I love this grandson and must not push him into the pit of fire!" At such an old age, Wei Wan was beaten by his mother in public. He was so ashamed and angry that he didn't even try to avoid it. His veins popped out with anger and his face was red: "Does mother know that he violated the national law?
Things must be resolved eventually. Blindly avoiding them will only make things worse.
There is no benefit in being complicated! You are actually harming him by protecting him like this!"
"I don't care, you go to the palace immediately to ask for the imperial concubine, and ask her to come forward to intercede with His Majesty, and you must keep Sanlang." Laiji stood with his hands behind his hands, watching with cold eyes, only feeling that the saying "a loving mother often loses her son" is clearly reflected in the Wei family,
The word "filial piety" placed on Wei Wan's head forced him to succumb to his mother's nonsense, knowing full well that this matter would inevitably cause a stir.
However, Tian Bolan was still hesitant and was in a dilemma. However, the so-called "Wei Jia Meiyu" was hiding behind his grandmother without any responsibility, trying to use the majesty of his grandmother to convince his father and escape responsibility, but he never thought that he might be subjected to the abuses of His Majesty.
The royal family headed by them burst out with overwhelming anger.
Will the fire annihilate and devour the entire Jingzhao Weishi?
It's just an embroidered pillow. It's beautiful, but of little use... Seeing Wei Wan's face flushed, ashamed and angry, Lai Ji softened his heart and reminded in a low voice: "Now that the palace door is locked, even if you go to invite the imperial concubine to be your honor,
Fu Sanlang will have to wait until tomorrow morning to plead for mercy, but if I don’t succeed now,
It is a trivial matter to be reprimanded when you return, but the Duke of Yue will definitely come in person afterwards, so the result is actually the same."
If your Wei family can stop me, can you possibly stop Duke Yue?
Not to mention whether you can block it or not, if your family dares to block it, I will be completely impressed... Wei Wan cast a grateful look at Lai Ji, and then whispered to the old woman: "My mother also heard it, Sanlang committed this crime.
It's a big mistake, but with the help of the noble concubine in the palace to intercede, there will be no serious consequences, but if Fang Jun kills him,
The consequences for our family are unpredictable. If that guy falsely accuses our family of favoritism, or even has Saburo's accomplices in the family, it will be a disaster!"
The old woman was out of breath after beating her son with a cane for a while. At this moment, Wen Yan hesitated and turned to look at Wei Shuxia: "Sanlang, your father said that you have caused a big disaster, but is it true?"
Wei Shuxia denied it flatly: "Absolutely not! It's just that the situation was chaotic and Li Jingshu died in front of me. I was afraid that I couldn't explain clearly, so I took advantage of the chaos to escape."
Lai Ji interjected and asked: "At that time, Jingzhao Mansion was surrounded by Zuo Jinwu guards. How did you avoid the guards and escape from Jingzhao Mansion?"
Without help, Wei Shuxia would have been shot down by a musket and crossbow even if his wings were intact, and he would never be able to escape from the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
Wei Shuxia shook his head: "No one helped me. I was in a daze and kept hiding from people. I somehow got out."
Laiji nodded, without asking any more questions, and said to the old woman: "It's getting late. I will take San Lang back for interrogation. I also ask the old woman not to interfere with official duties, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."
But the old woman didn't even look at him, only stared at Wei Wan: "Are you sure Sanlang is okay?"
Wei Wan was speechless. Whether or not something happened depends on whether Sanlang had anything to do with Li Jingshu's death. You should ask Sanlang, not me...
But he didn't dare to say that at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Don't worry, mother, let Sanlang go with them first, and I will go to the palace gate at dawn to hold the check. I must see the noble concubine and ask her to intercede with His Majesty.
The old woman pursed her lips, turned around and stroked her grandson's head, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, Sanlang, just let them go. Not everyone among us Wei family members can frame you. Anyone who dares to beat you will give it to you."
Come back to me when you are sentenced
He said, even if I risk my life to sue the emperor, I will skin the thief!"
Wei Shuxia saw that the matter was irreversible, so he had no choice but to comfort the old woman: "Even if they beat me to death, I won't admit what my grandson didn't do. The justice of Wang Fa has come to light, so I don't believe they dare to accuse me unjustly!"
The old woman's eyes were filled with tears and she looked very pleased: "A good boy, he is worthy of being a descendant of the Wei family, he has backbone."
Laiji was speechless again. How could he really have the guts to commit a crime and run home to take shelter with his elderly grandmother, who was over seventy years old, even without caring about whether it would bring disaster to the family?
Wei Wan waved to others to present the gifts he had prepared, and said with a cupped hand: "Please come to the county magistrate to help me, Jingzhao Weishi will definitely reward you generously."
The gift was put on a load and placed on the ground, making a muffled sound. It was obviously extremely heavy, and one could guess what was inside.
Lai Ji shook his head and refused the gift, and said seriously: "Master, don't worry, I will enforce the law impartially and seek truth from facts. No one can influence my handling of the case."
You can't, and neither can Fang Jun. After Ji Ji and his party were sent away, Wei Wan helped his mother back to the main hall. Looking at his mother who was still worried with tears in her eyes, he sighed and said helplessly: "It's all because of Sanlang's willfulness and lack of responsibility.
, I offended Jiji today.
.This guy is young, calm and experienced, and has a clear and perceptive mind. He also has a solid backer like Fang Jun. He has a bright future in time. I missed this opportunity to make friends."
The old woman glared and said angrily: "Sanlang is already in jail and his life is in danger. You don't care about your son but you are thinking about these tricks, you beast!"
What can Wei Wan do when faced with a mother who inherited the selfish, violent and other negative traits of the Yuan family?
Wiping his face and spitting on his face. Sometimes I think about it, it is a good thing that the Yuan clan collapsed. Otherwise, my mother, who has always relied on the power of her natal family, might have gotten into such an uncontrollable mess today. If Fang Jun really waited
The person who enters the house in person is not a question of whether he can make friends or not, but whether that guy will take the opportunity to make excuses and sweep the entire Shouguang County Men's House into it...
