Chapter 499

Then an accident occurred in the interrogation between Wu Zhang and Lu Kuan. At first, Wu Zhang insisted that he had no idea about the poisoning. The next day, he actually admitted that he was instigating Wang Yu to modify the hexagram and poisoning.

Geng Xiaofan understood that there was something wrong here. It must be that the Lu family secretly colluded with Wu Zhang and reached some kind of "agreed" that Wu Zhang was going to take the blame for Lu Kuan!

However, Geng Xiaofan didn't want to bother with this detail too much. He was concerned about the mastermind behind the scenes. As long as the two of them could give Wei Bao, their life or death and their sins were not important.

However, the confessions of these two people alone were not enough to "take" Wei Bao, and he could not use this as an excuse to "sent" Guanneihou.

He had a headache about how the case progressed. After discussing with Wang Jingyan, the two of them were about to take a risk and arrange a big show for Wei Bao! Only by expanding the influence can the emerging Guanneihou be defeated.

When Wang Yu's mourning period expired, when it was time for the funeral, most of the Chinese civil and military officials from the court came to attend the funeral.

Geng Xiaofan presided over the funeral and condolenced. He suddenly attacked Wei Bao.

Looking at Geng Xiaofan's "exposition" falling in front of him, Wei Bao was surprised, but he quickly returned to his calmness and denied it with confidence.

"This is all the same thing as the Wang family! What's the intention of Geng Qing splashing dirty water on me?"

"The Wang family's one-sided words! Wu Zhang is a visitor to the Wang family, and Lu Kuan is a relative of the Wang family. Without outsiders' instructions, why did they do such an inhumane thing?" Geng Xiaofan retorted with a cold face.

"How do I know! The Wang family is always not strict in governing the family, which causes internal troubles!" Wei Bao also sneered and glanced at Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan again.

"For the sake of your own selfish desires, I play Yu'er as a chess piece in my palm and discard it after using it. Marquis Wei, don't you have a trace of conscience?" Wang Jingyan glanced at Wei Bao coldly.

"Haha! Is this marquis so uneasy? I have made friends with Wang Yu, but he is a general of the imperial court. Can I still restrain him?"

"Aren't you encouraged Yu'er to tamper with the hexagram, failed, and instructed Lu Kuan to poison and kill people to silence him?" Wang Jingyan asked sternly.

"Madam Wang! In front of the Dali Temple Minister, you can't spit out bloody people!" Wei Bao looked at Geng Xiaofan with disdain and glanced at him again.

"Mr. Wei, don't think that with the testimony of these two people, I cannot condemn you. To tell you the truth, I have more than two witnesses. Today is the day when Wang Yu is buried in peace. If you can come in person, it means that your conscience is not lost. If you can voluntarily confess your guilt in Wang Yu's spiritual position, I may be able to submit it at your discretion."

Geng Xiaofan had a gloomy face and a calm tone.

"Hmph! Don't even threaten me!" Wei Bao shook his sleeves angrily, and couldn't help looking out the door. Today is the day of Wang Yu's funeral, and he had no reason not to come. In case of precautions, he made careful preparations and not only brought several personal guards, but also arranged a team of guards to guard outside the palace.

Seeing that Wei Bao was determined, Geng Xiaofan didn't say anything more, waved to the door, and a woman dressed in filial piety walked in.

"Wan'er!" Wei Bao recognized the person at a glance and was shocked.

Under the gaze of everyone, Wei Wan quickly walked to Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan, knelt down and saluted, and couldn't help crying, "Master Father, Mother, Wan'er is unfilial and is late."

"Wan'er, where are you going? What's going on?" Wang Jingyan was really surprised to see Wei Wan appear at this critical moment, so she quickly helped her get up.

Yesterday, when Geng Xiaofan discussed with her, he only said that he had made sufficient preparations and would definitely defeat Wei Bao in one fell swoop. She guessed for a long time, but still couldn't believe that Geng Xiaofan's "trump card" turned out to be Wei Wan.

Wei Wan stood up, but did not explain to Wang Jingyan, but walked directly to Wei Bao, "Uncle! I can't blame you for what you do for the Wei family. But I can't let my husband die inexplicably."

"Wan'er! What are you talking nonsense? Why are you back?" Wei Bao was really surprised to see Wei Wan appear.

"I resented you for a long time when you sent me to the Wang family. But I didn't expect that after I got married, my husband's favor and in-laws loved me, which made me feel the happiness I had never felt before! Since I married into the Wang family, I was a member of the Wang family and would become a ghost of the Wang family even if I died. You asked me to persuade my husband, I knew you were for the good of the Wei family. I did what you said, but I didn't expect that you would be so cruel and would attack your husband!"

Wei Wan cried in a trembling voice, and everyone in the lobby fell silent.

"Wan'er, why didn't you say ye?" Wang Jingyan wanted to know Wei Wan's experience during this period.

"I heard that my husband was poisoned to death by the wine, and I knew it was my uncle's hands and feet! I have tasted the pot of wine in person, so the only one who poisoned it was the one who had contacted the pot of wine. The only one of the most suspicious ones here is Lu Kuan!

I went to find Lu Kuan, but unexpectedly found that he had secretly disguised as a minor official and left the mansion! So I quickly followed. As expected, he really led me to my uncle's mansion!"

Wei Wan told the situation that day in one breath, and she spoke a little quickly and became breathless.

Wang Jingyan personally brought a glass of water for her to drink, and then listened to her continue.

"Outside my uncle's study, I heard his conversation with Lu Kuan. It is precisely because of this that my uncle did not care about my life or death and forced me back to Zhongshan Country!"

"Wan'er, don't be polite! How could I have something to do with Lu Kuan? If I weren't afraid that they would wrongly accuse you of poisoning you, how could I send you back to Zhongshan Country? Why are you ungrateful and distort black and white!" Wei Bao was uneasy and rushed to Wei Wan.

"It has nothing to do with Lu Kuan? It has nothing to do. Will you promise him a high-ranking official and a generous salary?" Wei Wan was not afraid of her uncle at all, and she was confident.

"Uncle, you are so disappointing! Not only disappointing me, but also disappointing my aunt! This time I returned to Zhongshan Country, my aunt told me everything. She just missed her son, just to visit the palace often. And you! She actually used this as an excuse to interfere in the government affairs!

If you want to become an official, why don’t you be your official? Why do you want to be an enemy of my Wang family? And you want to deceive my husband, use him, and kill him!"

Wei Wan said, unable to help crying.

Wang Jingyan roughly understood, but she still hadn't figured out the relationship between Lu Kuan and Wei Bao.

"Lu was originally a slave of the Wei family. When he came to Lu Kuan's father, he was grateful to protect the head of the family and returned to Nanyang." Geng Xiaofan explained for Wei Wan.

"What an old slave, little slave!" Wang Jingyan finally understood Lu Kuan's "motive" for the crime.

"Lu Kuan has confessed all these. Marquis Wei is his old master, so he has to obey orders. Moreover, he came to Chang'an this time to make an advance. He must have mentioned it to Mr. An Han, but unfortunately Mr. An Han did not agree. He turned to the former master. Marquis Wei has a big appetite and is very generous. He has already promised him that after the matter is completed, he will take over as Wang Yu!"

Geng Xiaofan added.
