After Wen Jinzhi finished speaking, the air became quiet.
Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and said tentatively: "Commander Wen is selfless. Even though he is older, your brother's behavior is indeed against the law. Although the punishment for the commander-in-chief's use of family law is too heavy, it does not seem to be incomprehensible.
.”
Wen Jinzhi's eldest brother worked for Meng Lang. Although His Majesty favored him and never said anything, Wen Kongheng, as the commander-in-chief, had full consciousness. It was reasonable to take him home and punish him with great fanfare, but he was just a little harsher.
"I know what your Excellency said," Wen Jinzhi closed his eyes and said, "Brother, he is indeed at fault. It is reasonable for my father to be harsh, but..."
Wen Jinzhi's expression struggled a little, and then quickly returned to the indifference he had at first, not caring about everything. There was one thing he did not say. When Wen's eldest son died, Wen Jinzhi was only five years old, and he could already remember it.
Although Wen Jinzhi's elder brother behaves badly, he is not an ordinary second-generation dandy. He is a filial man who respects his parents and loves his brothers and sisters. He has always taken great care of his younger brothers and sisters.
Moreover, even under His Majesty's unreasonable doting, Wen Jinzhi's brother did not completely indulge himself. His knowledge was quite good. It is said that he had practiced calligraphy since he was a child, and even won the praise of the great scholar Luo Fuzi.
In addition to his somewhat unruly personality, Wen Jinzhi's brother can be said to be a real young talent. If he were still alive today, I am afraid he would also be a great figure.
Talking back to Wen Jinzhi, as early as he was wise, learning about his brother's death was like a bolt from the blue. And after learning the cause of his brother's death, he was even more angry and painful. He desperately wanted to go to his father to find out.
But when his father was not seen for several days, until the day when his brother's body was buried, he came belatedly. Completely different from his mother who was crying into tears and himself who was numb, his father's face actually still had a trace of...
A bit of impatient indifference.
"It's a pity that I have good calligraphy." This is all Wen Kongheng said from beginning to end.
Later, Wen Jinzhi learned from the few words of others what his father had done in the days after he disappeared, and he went to find His Majesty to express his loyalty.
His Majesty's love for the eldest son of the Wen family is real and not false, so when he suddenly heard that the eldest son of the Wen family had died of illness, His Majesty was furious and immediately summoned Wen Kongheng to inquire about the situation.
In response to His Majesty's anger, Wen Kongheng's answer was simply cruel and rigid. He bluntly stated that his eldest son had made a mistake and the evidence was conclusive, so he exercised family law.
His Majesty also said that he tacitly approved the eldest son of Wen who went in and out of the inner palace to fight with the palace people. However, Wen Kongheng was stubborn and bluntly said that he only recognized the laws of the court.
His Majesty the Emperor was extremely angry at Wen Kongheng's stubbornness, but after he was angry, he trusted him even more.
The external situation is that before this incident, Wen Kong Hengkong was known as the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, but after this incident, he finally got the real power in his hands.
Because it is directly related to the life and safety of the emperor, the composition of the imperial army in the past dynasties has been very complicated. There are often many and complex branches under their jurisdiction, and they are not under each other and are not responsible for each other. The general commander is just a name.
But after this incident, Wen Kongheng gained His Majesty's trust, and even allowed the other party to start manipulating the composition of the Forbidden Army, and explicitly asked the other party to pull up the team. This showed that His Majesty could safely put his life in the hands of the other party.
This is why the powerful Jin Yiwei often suffered losses at the hands of the Forbidden Army.
Even though the strength of the power is clear at a glance, the other party relies on His Majesty's favor. As long as Wen Kong remains victorious, when he and Meng Yuan have a dispute, Your Majesty will always mediate in the middle and will never favor anyone. In the end, big things often become trivial.
.
When the truth from the outside came to his ears, Wen Jinzhi's tears had long since dried up. After he knew what his father had done, he couldn't even express his anger, and only had fear and sadness in his heart.
His father's disregard for his own children made him realize the cruelty of the world at a young age. He was born into such a terrible family, and his life was never in his control.
Since then, Wen Jinzhi's mother cried every day and passed away in less than two years, and he himself grew up in confusion.
The recognition of his father was the indifference engraved in his bones. He could see his dead brother crying to him countless times in the middle of the night. Tortured by such nightmares, Wen Jinzhi gradually became what he is today.
He was indifferent to everything in the outside world, and he also didn't care about himself. In his mind, he and his other brothers and sisters were just stepping stones for his father's advancement, and death that could come at any time was their fate.
Like a lonely boat on the sea, Wen Jinzhi's mentality could not be said to have put life and death aside, but he didn't care much either.
So today when Jin Yiwei suddenly came to take someone away, Wen Jinzhi was quite calm. Even if the other party killed him directly, he probably wouldn't have any desire to survive.
After all, in his opinion, his value may not be worthy of how much energy his father spends to save him, so instead of holding on to hope and gradually falling into despair during the torturous waiting, it is better not to be so naive from the beginning.
Lu Hanjiang, who was sitting opposite Wen Jinzhi, didn't know the other person's desolate mental journey. After the other person fell into silence, he stood up and left.
At this moment, outside the prison, Commander Tao's neck was red, and his big mouth was spitting all over the ground. Yan Feng and Zeng Hong were quite surprised.
After all, the selection of the Forbidden Army is different from that of the Jin Yiwei. First, they have a clean family background, and secondly, they have outstanding appearance. It can be said that in terms of military appearance and deportment, the Forbidden Army is three points more outstanding than the Jin Yiwei, who are known as "tiger backs, wasp waists, and mantis legs."
Commander Tao, who was selected under such conditions, is naturally an extraordinary person. If he were given the clothes of a civil servant, he would definitely be a handsome gentleman.

In fact, although the feud between the Royal Guards and the Forbidden Army has been reconciled by His Majesty over the years, the feelings of the brothers under their respective commanders are completely different.
Because it was often the Jin Yiwei side who found trouble, the imperial guards who took advantage of the situation failed to give the other side a good look every time. Over the years, they had no idea how much anger they had held back.
But this time, the Jin Yiwei did an even better job and actually detained the commander's son. If they endured this, how could their imperial army have the face to speak in front of others in the future.
"That's all I have to say today! If Mr. Wen can't walk out of this door in one piece, don't blame me for being rude!" Tao Yuanlang said angrily.
"Commander Tao, please calm down. I'm just waiting for a formality. Don't worry, Mr. Wen will be fine." Yan Feng comforted him with a smile, but his words had no credibility at all. What kind of place is the imperial prison?
Everyone knows.
The two parties were still in a stalemate, when suddenly a Baihu came out of the yamen, handed a note and a package to Yan Feng, and whispered in his ear: "Master Qianhu, this is your command."
Yan Feng didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly called Zeng Hong over. The two of them read the note together. It was clean with no traces on it. It was a real piece of white paper.
Yan Feng and Zeng Hong looked at each other. After they opened the package, they saw an ordinary brick lying inside...
Yan Feng and Zeng Hong looked at each other again, the latter raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, the former shook his head helplessly, looked at Tao Yuanlang who was facing him eloquently, silently said "I'm sorry" in his heart, and then picked up the bricks.
