Under the bright morning sun, he squinted his eyes slightly.
He turned around and looked at the two stone statues of Haechi at the entrance of the Overwatch Council.
According to legend, this mythical beast has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and can identify loyalty and evil, so it is regarded as a symbol of impartiality and selflessness, law and justice.
In the Supervisory Yuan behind you, there are many censors and female officials stationed in the state, wearing Xie Zhi crowns to express the meaning of fair law enforcement, punish evil and promote good. It symbolizes the existence of a supervision mechanism.
A carriage with the governor's flag slowly stopped at the door.
Wang Lengran opened the car curtain and cautiously shouted:
"Third Young Master?"
Wei Shaoqi turned around and boarded the carriage.
Not long ago, in the lobby of the Supervisory Yuan, he reported the case impassionedly to redress his grievances, and the angry and angry quarrel with Ouyang Rong disappeared from his face at this moment.
Wei Shaoqi's expression was as calm as a lake.
He sat in the carriage with his hands spread flat on his knees, his eyes lowered and silent.
This calm expression made Wang Lengran a little nervous.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, so Wang Lengran took the initiative and asked:
"Third Young Master, there is one thing I don't understand. Something as important as the Mythical Cauldron Sword is one of our secrets. Why should we tell it? Even if it has been lost."
Wei Shaoqi glanced at him:
"What the father means, Rong Zhen, Lin Cheng... you can rest assured. It depends on them whether they can overturn the case this time, how many cases can be overturned, and how we, the Wei family, can restore the gap in His Majesty's heart... Of course, if we can recapture the tripod sword
, or it would be better to lock in the identity of the owner of Dielianhua."
Wang Lengran nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, Your Majesty, the Third Young Master is wise and must have a clever plan, but you can just talk to Rong Zhen and Lin Cheng. What about Ouyang Lianghan? Could it be that he also has arrangements..."
"Tsk tsk."
Wei Shaoqi made a sound and shook his head at the same time, interrupting Wang Lengran's words.
"Ouyang Lianghan, didn't they already know about this tripod sword?" he asked.
"Have you known this before?" Wang Lengre was surprised.
Wei Shaoqi took out a stack of envelopes from his arms and threw them into Wang Lengran's arms:
"The secret letter Li Li sent back when he was in Longcheng detailed what happened in Longcheng. It was mentioned that Ouyang Lianghan, Xie Lingjiang, and even King Xunyang's family may have known about the Liu family.
Matters regarding the forged tripod sword.
"This tripod sword was known to many people from the moment it left the sword furnace when the old swordsmith jumped into the furnace to offer sacrifices.
"When the Dingjian was born in Butterfly Creek in Dragon City, such a big noise caused the water to rise in Yunmengze upstream. I don't believe it. As the flood control county magistrate, Ouyang Lianghan would know?
"Not to mention that the sixth brother had placed him under house arrest on Xiaogushan Mountain, and later there were reports of Mr. Qiu's interactions with the eldest daughter of Yunmeng, Xue Zhongzhu..."
Wei Shaoqi nodded:
"Whatever you should know has been known for a long time. What you don't know, you will soon know."
"Young master, what you mean is that Prince Xunyang's Palace and Ouyang Lianghan, who is the palace's conspirator, both know about the Liu family's forging of the tripod sword? Then...then did they..."
Wang Lengran was suddenly startled, and when he reacted, his tone stammered for a moment.
Wei Shaoqi asked for him:
"You want to ask whether the scoundrels like Prince Xunyang and Ouyang Lianghan also went looking for the Dingjian, or...is it possible that the Sixth Brother's Dingjian was intercepted by them?"
"Yes! Exactly." Wang Lengran nodded vigorously.
Wei Shaoqi stared at the old governor and spoke softly:
"That's why we ask him to stay and listen to today's discussion."
"Huh? Third Young Master did it on purpose, just taking advantage of the situation? But why did Third Young Master do this?"
Wei Shaoqi opened the car curtain, squinted at the autumn sunshine on the street outside, and said lightly:
"They must know it anyway, so it's better to tell him and see his reaction.
"Now it seems that our Wei clan's tripod sword is not in the Xunyang Prince's Mansion, and the owner of Dielianhua probably has nothing to do with them.
"However, Prince Xunyang's Palace may also have some evidence that we, Rong Zhen, Lin Cheng, and others do not have."
Wang Lengran asked strangely:
"Um, why is this? What did the Third Young Master see from Ouyang Lianghan's reaction?"
Wei Shaoqi lowered his head and straightened the skirt of his clothes and the cuffs on the right side.
While lowering his eyes to organize himself, he twitched his lips and said:
"If the Cauldron Sword is really in their hands and the owner of Dielianhua is also one of theirs, then Ouyang Lianghan will not speak for Yunmeng Jianze.
"Even when I and Rong Zhen raised the suspicion of Yunmeng Jianze, he probably wanted us to think that way.
"Instead of making some arguments that only increase others' suspicion."
Wang Lengran looked at the third son of the Prince of Wei with a calm tone in astonishment. He couldn't help showing emotion on his face and praised:
"The Third Young Master is really clever and clever. He even took this detail into consideration. Ouyang Lianghan was simply played by the Third Young Master without even realizing it.
"I guess he is still complacent about sneaking into our meeting. Maybe he is still short-sighted and looking down on the Third Young Master, but he doesn't know that he is the insider."
Wei Shaoqi waved his hand and didn't pay attention.
"Where is Qiniang? Where is she now?" he asked.
"Princess, she heard that there are many poor people in Xingzifang. She took the female relatives of the official family and went to give porridge. She shouldn't be back at noon."
Wei Shaoqi turned his head and looked out the window:
"Send someone to keep an eye on it, don't let the blind guy get into my Wei family's pearl, just like last night."
"Yes, Third Young Master!"
Wei Shaoqi glanced at Wang Lengran's hesitant expression.
"Whatever you want to say, let it go quickly."
Wang Lengran asked in a low voice:
"Third Young Master is traveling to the frontline Hongzhou this time. Why did he bring Princess Anhui with him? Hongzhou has just been recaptured and is in chaos. It may be dangerous...
"Third Young Master, why don't you leave Princess Anhui here in Jiangzhou? Your subordinate is also in Jiangzhou and can help take care of her. If nothing happens, you can also ask the female family members to accompany Princess Anhui..."
Wang Lengran made suggestions.
Wei Shaoqi stared straight at the old governor who was talking endlessly.
While Wang Lengran was speaking, he noticed Wei Shaoqi's eyes and immediately shuddered, lowered his head quickly and said no more words.
Wei Shaoqi raised his right hand on his knee with an index finger and signaled:
"Continue talking. I am listening."
"No... I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore, the official."
"No, you have something on your mind."
Wei Shaoqi shook his head and encouraged:
"Tell me. If you have any ideas, please tell me."
Wang Lengran carefully looked at Wei Shaoqi's face and said:
"The family has a dog who has just turned 20. He has been very talented in reading since he was a child. He is well-dressed and handsome in appearance. I don't know Princess Anhui..."
Wei Shaoqi interrupted:
"No need to ask, she will definitely be able to do it. Qiniang has been good since she was a child and listens to the words of her father and elder brothers. The marriage is all arranged by Uncle Wang and his father."
Hearing Wei Shaoqi's attitude and tone, Wang Lengran felt as if he had received a pie falling from the sky, his expression was flattered, and he felt a little embarrassed when he spoke:
"Then...then the official will immediately find a prominent person to be a matchmaker..."
Wei Shaoqi's face returned to calmness, he shook his head and interrupted:
"Wang Lengran, you still don't quite understand your identity. Is a mere son of a governor worthy of my uncle Wang's beloved daughter, the noble daughter of the Wei family?"
Wang Lengran was immediately speechless, as if he had been choked, and his face turned red visibly.
Wei Shaoqi spoke calmly:
"I'm just telling you the truth, so that you don't have unrealistic illusions.
"But, the threshold of family background is actually uncertain."
He changed the subject, smiled slightly and said:
"My father pays more attention to the lintel of the bloodline, but my uncle, His Highness Prince Liang, pays more attention to the heroic figures. He is a bit like the Xie family of Chen County who is the most popular among the five surnames and seven surnames. He is a crooked melon and a jujube. Don't even think about mediocre people.
"But Wang Lengran, who is that kid of yours? He is still staying at home at the age of twenty. He is not as good as that pretty boy Ouyang Lianghan. At least he is equally weak. He is also a similar fifth-grade long history, and his reputation is not small.
, he is considered a master of water conservancy recognized by both the government and the public, tsk tsk.”
Wang Lengran buried his head, his tone was a little embarrassed, and he apologized hastily:
"What the Third Young Master said is that the official is overthinking, the toad wants to eat swan meat, and is delusional, the official..."
Wei Shaoqi suddenly interrupted and asked:
"My father asked you to forward the letter to General Qin, have you delivered it?"
"Sent it!" Wang Lengran nodded vigorously.
"You haven't heard back yet?"
"Not yet."
"Okay. If there is any, please present it to me as soon as possible."
"yes."
Immediately, the conversation ended, and Wei Shaoqi closed his eyes and sat in the carriage, seemingly thinking.
Wang Lengran sat upright with his eyes fixed, trying not to make a sound.
Inside the bumpy car, the only sound left was the sound of rolling wheels.
Until someone's voice sounded again:
"I heard that when General Qin just took office and was organizing troops in Xunyang City, he didn't see anyone, but he met Ouyang Lianghan and favored him?
"I heard that later General Qin went on an expedition and even left behind his granddaughter Miss Qin. Miss Qin also took a sum of money and invested it in the Xunyang Grottoes on behalf of the Qin family... Is this the case?
"
Wang Lengran was startled, turned around and saw that Wei Shaoqi had opened his eyes, narrowed his eyes and asked, his voice as light as a cat.
"Yes...that's what happened." He replied.
"Oh." Wei Shaoqi reacted lightly.
But Wang Lengran reacted immediately and analyzed:
"Third Young Master, Ouyang Lianghan is already the Xie family's default son-in-law. Seeing that Old General Qin seems to be the one pulling the strings, the origin of the family banquet should not be what we imagined."
Wei Shaoqi nodded slowly: "That's it."
After a while, the carriage passed by the Governor's Mansion, stopped temporarily, and put Wang Lengran down.
But before leaving, Wang Lengran patted his forehead:
"By the way, young master, I almost forgot, this is for you, please keep it."
"This is?"
Wei Shaoqi lowered his eyes and looked at the small bundle that Wang Lengran took out.
Wang Lengran said in a low tone:
"These are some relics of the Sixth Young Master. Some of the clothes left behind were sorted by Li Li before. But something happened to Li Li later and he never came back... It just so happens that the Third Young Master can take them back and give them to the prince."
Wei Shaoqi fell silent, his eyes gradually darkened, and he took a deep breath.
"Okay. Got it."
Pretending not to care, he tilted his head and looked out the window, his eyes sore for a long time without blinking.
Wang Lengran couldn't help but said: "Third Young Master, please express my condolences."
Wei Shaoqi put away his baggage, leaned back on the backrest, and waved his hand without looking back.
Wang Lengran hesitated to speak, but still left wisely, leaving behind the slightly lonely figure in the carriage.
After a while, the carriage continued to drive and gradually moved away from the governor's mansion.
In the carriage, Wei Shaoqi sat alone and stared at the front for a while.
After a moment of silence, he reached out, grabbed the bundle, placed it on the small round table in front of him, and stared at it.
"Sixth brother."
The lonely and sad expression on Wei Shaoqi's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a cold look on the side, and a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth:
"Why don't you die earlier? Ah? If you die earlier, then there won't be so many problems. It's all your fault.
"Oh, my father is so kind to you. He gives all the good things to you, an illegitimate son.
"It's the same with me becoming my disciple, Mr. Qiu, the same with Dingjian's master, and the marriage with the Qin family. What's the good thing? My father is the first to think of you every time and make arrangements for you. If you don't know, I thought you were the princess."
Where is the legitimate son?
"But are you worthy? Are you worthy? Your mother and maidservant! Your mother and maidservant!"
"Who do you think you are, a little bastard, you are worthy of possessing a mythical tripod sword? Are you worthy of marrying the granddaughter of General Zuo Wuwei?
“What a good death, what a good death!
"Do you know how much our brothers want you to die?
"The eldest brother likes to put on a pretense. He is honest and kind on the surface and listens to the words of his father, queen, mother and concubine, but in fact he wants you to die the most, and by the way, there is also me. As for the second brother, he pulls us around every day, saying that we need unity and friendship among brothers and sisters.
But the hands below are also the darkest.
"What, you ask Third Brother me? Hahahaha, Third Brother I care about you!
"Did you know that Li Li told me in a secret letter at that time that you met with Zhu Lingxu in private, and we had a very pleasant conversation and exchanged personal tokens? How uncomfortable was it for me, Third Brother, when I found out?
"It's so uncomfortable. I want you to die immediately. I really want to kill you, Sixth Brother. But we were too far away at that time, and you damn ghost still didn't come back. I had to endure it, endure it, and endure it until you leave for the north.
, after entering the customs, I will choose a good place with Li Li and send you on your way.
"But looking at it now hahahaha, it's fake. It's actually fake. You died a long time ago. I don't know who died in the hands of a good man. The same goes for Zhu Lingxu. If you are real, is he really going to bet on you?"
, support you?
"Does a lowly servant with a third surname like him have the qualifications to stand in some teams? I really can't figure it out. I don't know how high the sky is or how high it is... It's so damn good! It's so damn good!"
"It's a good death. If the owner of Dielianhua hadn't attempted suicide by amputating Hu Dingjian, I would really like to express my gratitude to him. I wouldn't be willing to report the crime. I wouldn't even have time to protect him, hahaha."
Wei Shaoqi laughed heartily and was so happy that he burst into tears from the corners of his eyes. He lowered his head and wiped the crystal clear corners of his eyes with Wei Shaoxuan's clothes.
At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped and stopped in front of the mansion.
"Third Brother, are you back? How is Sixth Brother's affairs? Is there any news about him..."
Outside the carriage, the voice of a certain Wei family member came with a concerned and worried tone.
In the carriage, the young man in brocade robe lowered his head and rubbed his face, picked up Wei Shaoxuan's relics, stepped out of the carriage, and greeted him with a sad expression.
Wei Anhui choked up when she saw his red eyes:
"Qiniang, your sixth brother...he died so unjustly!"
