Chapter 131: Furious Xu Da(1/2)
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.
When Cai Yuanji led people to send Xu Huizu back to the mansion, Xu Huizu's crying voice shocked the entire mansion!
After hearing the news, Wei Guogong Xu Da hurried out of the mansion and saw his crying son in the front yard. For a moment, everything was in chaos.
He had always loved his son very much. He was always afraid of bumping into him, and he had never hit him with a finger since he was a child. Now when he saw his son crying so sadly, he felt very distressed.
"Son, what's wrong? Why is it still bleeding?"
Xu Da came closer and asked distressedly while wiping his son's tears.
But Xu Huizu, who had already been wronged, felt even more wronged when he saw his father appear. He cried even harder and couldn't answer for a while.
"What's going on?! Which of you bullied my son!?"
Xu Da frowned, turned to look at Cai Yuanji aside, and shouted sternly.
Hearing Xu Da's angry shouting, Cai Yuanji was so frightened that he shivered and hurriedly bowed his hands.
"Duke Wei, please calm down. Master Xu is well-behaved and smart. How dare we bully him? It's... it's Hu Fei..."
Cai Yuanji made a grimace and explained hesitantly, pretending to be embarrassed.
"Hu Fei?! What's going on?!"
When he heard the word "Hu Fei", Xu Da's face instantly darkened, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"Dad! The child was beaten by...that Hu Fei...!"
At this moment, before Cai Yuanji could speak, Xu Huizu had already choked up his answer intermittently.
"What?!"
"He's so brave! He actually dares to hit the general's son?! He's looking for death!"
When Xu Da heard this, his face instantly turned livid, veins popped up on his forehead, and he shouted with murderous intent.
"Dad, you have to make the decision for your child!"
Xu Huizu said pitifully while wiping his tears.
"Okay, okay, stop crying, stop crying, you and your mother go back to the house to rest, and daddy will vent your anger right now!"
While comforting his son, Xu Da waved to his wife to take his son into the house, and then ordered the housekeeper to immediately ask a doctor to treat his son's injuries.
Xu Huizu sobbed as he returned to the backyard surrounded by a group of people. The cries could still be heard in the distance.
After his son left, Xu Da turned to look at Cai Yuanji who was waiting with a sullen face.
"Cai Yuanji, what's going on?!"
Xu Da stared at Cai Yuanji and asked in a deep voice.
He was worried that his son had not explained the matter clearly and planned to ask Cai Yuanji personally.
"For Duke Wei, in the Imperial Academy today, Hu Fei tried to leave early during class, but Master Xu happened to bump into him, so he spoke to stop Hu Fei. However, Hu Fei not only refused to restrain himself, but also argued with Master Xu in class."
"The official wanted to dissuade him, but Hu Fei not only refused to listen, but suddenly took action and kicked Master Xu to the ground. The official immediately panicked and revealed the identity of the young master, but Hu Fei not only refused to admit his mistake, but also said
...and said..."
Cai Yuanji cupped his hands and explained everything in detail. At the end, he hesitated and stopped, looking at Xu Da nervously.
"What else can you say?!"
Xu Da stared at Cai Yuanji and asked sharply.
"He also said...he was beating Xu Da's son..."
"This is what Hu Fei said, not what Xiaguan said, these are his exact words!"
Cai Yuanji hurriedly explained.
After hearing Cai Yuanji's words, the servant Xu Da's face was gloomy, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, and his neck was red with anger.
"Come here! Send troops to Hu's Mansion immediately to capture Hu Fei to my general!"
Xu Da turned to glare at his lieutenant and said loudly.
Upon hearing Xu Da's words, everyone present was stunned.
Cai Yuanji was also surprised. He didn't expect that Xu Da would directly send troops to the Prime Minister's Palace. This was a big deal. But while he was shocked, he was sneering in his heart, wishing that the matter would get bigger.
"General, if we mobilize our troops, I'm afraid there will be a conflict with the Prime Minister's Mansion, which will certainly alarm His Majesty."
The deputy general came to Xu Da's side and whispered a reminder.
"So what!? No one can hit my general's son. Even if he is the son of the prime minister, I will not be afraid even if it brings trouble to His Majesty!"
"Let's go, I, the general, will personally come forward and ask the Prime Minister's Mansion to hand over the person!"
Xu Da snorted coldly and strode outside as he spoke.
The deputy general did not dare to say any more and hurriedly followed Xu Da with more than a hundred soldiers.
Cai Yuanji looked at Xu Da who stormed out of the mansion angrily, with a sneer flashing at the corner of his mouth, and immediately left the Duke of Wei's Mansion and headed for the Governor's Mansion.
...
Hu Mansion.
Front yard main hall.
Hu Weiyong sat on a chair with a solemn expression and kept asking about the time.
He was waiting for the reaction of the Duke of Wei, and he knew that this matter would never pass easily.
Just in case, he had already tried his best to send the news to the East Palace, hoping that the prince could say a few words to Hu Fei at the critical moment.
He knew that as two important ministers, one civil and one military, he and Xu Da, if they really came into trouble in front of His Majesty, His Majesty might not show favoritism to either of them. At that time, they could only discuss the matter on a case-by-case basis, and those who made mistakes would be punished. The only one who would be unlucky was
his own son.
Therefore, he wanted to make sure nothing went wrong. On the one hand, he sent someone to inform Hu Fei not to return home, and on the other hand, he notified the East Palace and asked the prince to intercede.
While Hu Weiyong was deep in thought, a burst of noise suddenly came, and then a group of government soldiers armed with weapons rushed in from the front door. The servants at the door tried to stop him, but were rushed away.
Butler Qin Hai rushed into the main hall in a panic and looked at Hu Weiyong in panic.
"Sir, it's not good, Wei Guogong personally came with his troops to ask for someone!"
Qin Hai looked at Hu Weiyong and said anxiously.
"Why are you panic?! Is it possible that he really dares to kill people?!"
Hu Weiyong's face was gloomy, he said something coldly, took a sip of tea, stood up slowly, and walked towards the courtyard. He had already seen Xu Da walking in from the door.
Qin Hai nodded and followed Hu Weiyong.
"The news has definitely been conveyed to the young master, right?"
Hu Weiyong asked in a low voice while walking towards the courtyard with a sullen face.
"It has arrived."
Qin Hai nodded and replied softly.
After hearing Qin Hai's answer, Hu Weiyong felt relieved and stepped in front of Xu Da.
Xu Da looked at Hu Weiyong, slowly stopped, waved his hand, and more than a hundred soldiers quickly surrounded the courtyard.
"General Xu, what does this mean?"
Hu Weiyong curled his lips and smiled, looked at Xu Da, and asked slowly.
"What do you mean?! Doesn't Prime Minister Hu know what happened in the Imperial College today?! Where is Hu Fei? Let him come out! This general has something to ask him!"
Xu Da stared at Hu Weiyong and said gloomily.
"Imperial Imperial College? What happened? I haven't heard anything about the truth."
Hu Weiyong showed a trace of doubt on his face and asked hesitantly.
"Your son beat my general's son! Now the whole capital has spread the news, and Mr. Hu doesn't know about it?!"
When Xu Da heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, with a trace of anger between his eyebrows.
"Ah? There is such a thing?!"
"This brat doesn't even look at who he's hitting, he's just fooling around!"
"Don't worry, General Xu. When he comes back, I will discipline him strictly!"
Hu Weiyong pretended to be angry, looked at Xu Da, and said seriously.
"Strict discipline!? Just strict discipline?!"
"If Prime Minister Hu can really discipline him, he won't be lawless now! Since Prime Minister Hu can't discipline him, then I will discipline him for Prime Minister Hu!"
"Please also ask Hu Xiang to hand over the person!"
Xu Da stared at Hu Weiyong and said coldly, not giving in an inch.
"Look at what General Xu means. If I don't surrender today, General Xu will lead someone to seal off the Prime Minister's Mansion like me?"
