Chapter 122: I don't want to see him
"Wu Zhui, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, comes to see Prince Zhenbei." As the young man said this, he actually knelt down and bowed formally.
When King Zhenbei saw him like this, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, and then he said with relief: "I am just a prisoner now, so you don't need to pay this grand ceremony."
"Etiquette cannot be abolished. This is what a subordinate should do." As long as His Majesty does not remove him from the title of Zhenbei King, all etiquette must be performed. Wu Zhui stood up and said calmly: "I am here today just to tell the truth to Your Majesty.
According to the decree, Your Majesty would like to see the prince alone."
Hearing this, the faces of the major generals who had been silent until now changed slightly, and they all looked at King Zhenbei.
"Dad..." Li Baiyu was about to speak, but was stopped by his eyes, and said calmly: "Excuse me, sir, please make arrangements! I also want to see your majesty."
Wu Zhui nodded slightly at him, turned around and asked someone to come in and take him out, and then turned around and walked out. But when he left the cell door, he paused, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "I wonder who among you is?"
Major General Wei Ciwei?"
Wei Ci, who was next to Li Dazhuang, raised his head and said coldly: "I am."
Wu Zhui looked at him and said: "Someone in the court reported that your eldest son was born to Major General Li, the crown prince of Zhenbei, and Princess Langyue. That's right, your family members are all being escorted back to Chang'an."
"What!" Li Baiyu and Li Dazhuang were both shocked.
When Wei Ci heard this, he felt a little confused. He couldn't help but asked angrily: "This matter has not been found out yet. The blame does not affect the family. Why did you arrest them? They are just a few old, weak, women and children. They come to us when something happens.
That’s it.”
"Major General Wei, don't get excited."
How can we not be excited that the whole family has been arrested? If they are placed in the northern border, Wu Zhui may be beaten inexplicably.
"The person who is going to Qizhou on this trip is the young master of the Xie family in Danzhou. I heard that Major General Wei married a girl from their family. I think he will not embarrass your family." After saying this, Wu Zhui glanced at him with a hint of meaning.
I glanced at him before striding away.
I heard that the girl from the Xie family was a delirious fool, but Wei Ci was also a caring person and treated the girl very well. Based on this alone, no one in the Wei family would be in trouble.
After Wu Zhui left, Li Baiyu looked at Wei Ci with a look of remorse on his face: "I'm sorry A Ci, it was me who caused trouble for my aunt and the others."
Wei Ci frowned, stared at him seriously and said, "Brother Yu, do you remember that Xuanxuan is Sanniang and I's biological flesh and blood, biological, do you remember?"
Li Baiyu was slightly stunned, but soon understood, and nodded seriously.
Those people who arrested the Wei family just wanted to add another crime to King Zhenbei. But what if they insist that Xuanxuan is the heir of the Wei family? Even if it is a blood test, there is still a way to do it, right?!
Qizhou, Taohua Town.
Xie Wuping didn't expect that the first thing he would do after becoming an official was to be sent to detain other people's family members. It was nothing at all, but he didn't realize until he arrived at the place that the people he was detaining were his own brother-in-law's family.
The flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple, and one family was looted after another!
Seeing a group of officials coming and ordering people to arrest the Wei family, he originally wanted to hide and not look at it, but when he saw the little baby in Mrs. Wei's arms that was made to cry, he couldn't help it.
Well, he kicked the official from behind and flew him far away.
Looking at the seizure list given above, the child was born not long ago, so it should be Wei Ci's wife Xie Sanniang, the one his biological sister gave birth to not long ago.
"Child, is the child hungry?" he asked with a slightly nervous expression.
Mrs. Wei had never seen Xie Wuping, so she naturally didn't have a good look on her face, but housekeeper Wei at the side had seen him before, and asked in shock: "Master Xie, why is it you?"
Being recognized, Xie Wuping looked a little embarrassed and shouted to Mrs. Wei: "My nephew Wuping, I have met my in-laws."
"Huh! This old woman can't afford to be called an aunt, sir." Mrs. Wei sneered, walked past him with her child in her arms, and got directly into the prison car. She had always had a bad attitude towards the Xie family in Danzhou, and it was even worse now.
.
Seeing the wife carrying the child into the prison car, which was not sheltered from wind and rain, Aunt Zhang next to the housekeeper was worried, and hurriedly grabbed Xie Wuping and begged: "My uncle, please take this for your sister's sake."
Come on, get them a carriage! My Miss Sun was born to your sister with all her might, and she is already weak and sick. If she has to endure the wind and sun all the way to Chang'an, there is no way she can survive!"
Hearing her mention her third sister, Xie Wuping quickly looked around and asked, "Where is my sister?"
Just as Butler Wei was about to speak out, Mrs. Wei in the prison car said coldly: "He's dead. He died after giving birth to this child. Why, sir, you have to go to her grave to pay homage and tell her how you came to arrest her mother-in-law's son."
My daughter got into the prison car?"
It was a dangerous trip, and the Wei family was afraid that this would happen. What Mrs. Wei thought was that since no one knew that Sanniang was in the north, she could live well if she could avoid it!
Seeing that Xie Wuping was stunned, Mrs. Wei disdainfully said sarcastically: "Look at my memory. Sanniang suffered a lot in your Xie family back then. She is such a silly girl. How can you get the love between brother and sister?"
"I..." Xie Wuping was shocked, and he took half a step back because of the shock. He turned around and looked at the child who was still crying in the prison car, his eyes were sore, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears, and he hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe them.
After a while, he turned around and ordered the officers and soldiers: "Go and bring a carriage and take away the nanny from the mansion."
He really wanted to see her, but the emperor's orders did not allow him to delay, so the steps he turned around and took could only be stopped.
When she returned to the Xie family alive, she had not treated her well. Back then, she was even more afraid that her grandfather would alienate her because of her father's illegitimate son, so he asked her to marry in place of her fourth sister. Now that she is dead, it is said that it was directly responsible for her death.
It's not an exaggeration, how can I still have the face to go to her tomb to repent?
Under the clouds, she thought of the past, and she probably didn't want to see him either!
Soon, a cushioned carriage was pulled over. Aunt Zhang and Butler Wei wiped away their tears and helped Mrs. Wei and Wei Shuxuanxuan get into the carriage, and they were also driven back to the mansion.
Only Mrs. Wei and Master Sun and Miss Sun were arrested this time. The rest of the housekeeper Wei and others were directly guarded by the local government in the mansion. If the case of King Zhenbei was not resolved for a day, they were not allowed to leave.
Perhaps it was because of his guilt for Xiaoyun Shuniang that whenever the child cried along the way, Xie Wuping would stop and step forward carefully to check. At night, when he did not catch up with the inn and slept in the wild, he would not worry about staying outside the carriage.
If there is any trouble, we will check on the children as soon as possible.
There was obviously no danger, but the officers and soldiers along the way were tensed up by him.
"Brother-in-law, my grandfather said that when my sister is drinking her grandma, boys should not look at her. Why does that uncle keep watching and peeking from time to time?" Along the way, Xie Wuping kept staring at Xiao Yunshu, but he didn't know that he was also constantly being attracted by Xuanxuan.
