I felt so depressed that I didn't even want to eat.
"You are a traitor, you are a traitor..." Wei Zheng said sadly.
At this time, a boy of fifteen or sixteen came over and asked: "Dad, why are you angry?"
This young man is Wei Zheng's third son, Wei Shuwan.
Wei Zheng briefly explained what happened to Wei Shuyu.
Wei Shuwan said indignantly: "Dad, this matter must be caused by Du He, the Duke of Huyi County. Otherwise, with the mood of the second brother, how could he not even return home and condescend to raise pigs... Dad, this matter, Leave it to me, I will go to Hu County tomorrow, show my affection to my second brother, and use reason to persuade him to come back. Don't make the world laugh at you."
Wei Zheng's eyes lit up: "Wan'er, do you really have a solution?"
"Dad, can you still not trust me? My child has been reading poetry and books since he was a child. This matter is a trivial matter to me!" Wei Shuwan said, patting his chest.
Among his sons, Wei Shuwan was undoubtedly the first in terms of intelligence.
This is also what Wei Zheng is looking forward to most.
The eldest son is quite well behaved.
The second son is honest and honest.
Only the third son, Wei Shuwan, has been extremely smart and agile since he was a child.
Wei Zheng often thought that the prosperity of the Wei family would most likely fall on Wei Shuwan in the future.
At this moment, Wei Zheng was very happy when he heard that Wei Shuwan took the initiative to ask for the imperial examination: "Wan'er, my father did not misjudge you. If so, you will go to Hu County tomorrow and be sure to persuade your second brother to come back."
"Dad, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me."
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wei Shuwan took a carriage and rushed to Hu County.
As soon as we entered the county town of Hu County, a city official came up and asked, "Who is in the car?"
Wei Shuwan opened the curtain and said, "I am Wei Shuyu, the son of the imperial censor Wei Zheng."
Guan Cheng yelled: "I don't know... do you want to eat porridge? The county government just sent it, preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
Preserved egg and lean meat porridge?
Wei Shuwan had never heard of it.
At this time, I saw that the person next to me had brought a bowl of porridge. The porridge was very thick, with meat accounting for most of it. There was a fragrant aroma, and there were eggs in it.
Guan Cheng said to Wei Shuwan and the coachman: "You two have come a long way to try this preserved egg and lean meat porridge, which was invented by our county magistrate."
Wei Shuwan was stunned.
Is this Hu County so hospitable?
It seems that the hateful Du He is not without merit.
At this time, his coachman couldn't help but pick up the bowl of porridge and drank it.
Seeing this, Guan Cheng suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "Here comes another pig-raising expert. Come on, take him down quickly!"
Guan Cheng next to him stepped forward, grabbed the coachman from the carriage and carried him to the side.
Wei Shuwan was stunned and shouted: "You, what are you doing? Why did you take my coachman away?"
Guan Cheng pointed to the notice posted on the city wall and said, "What do you think this is?"
"Three chapters of the agreement? What does it mean that Hu County does not support idle people?" Wei Shuwan looked confused.
Guan Cheng pointed down.
Wei Shuwan saw that what was written below was that the county government only gave porridge to homeless people, but those who received the porridge were homeless people who needed to cooperate with Hu County's three major policies and participate in road construction, farming or raising pigs.
Wei Shuwan immediately understood that his coachman was regarded as a homeless person and would be arrested to raise pigs.
If he couldn't help but eat that bowl of porridge just now, he might have been arrested as well.
What a deep routine!
He said angrily: "It's unreasonable. Such behavior can be done in broad daylight. It's really frightening. Call your county magistrate and I'll have a good talk with him. It's really unreasonable!"
Guan Cheng sneered and said: "The county magistrate is busy with official duties, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come. If you don't accept it, you can ask our captain to come and talk to you!"
"Who is your captain? Tell him to come to me quickly and see if I don't slap him in the face." Wei Shuwan said.
Guan Cheng replied: "The captain of our brigade is His Highness the current King of Shu. He is also the captain of the Huxian defense camp, the pig catching brigade, the militia camp, the first chief of Anhu Avenue, and the president of the Huxian People's Love Promotion Association...
…”
Just the title alone stunned Wei Shuwan.
But he heard the first sentence clearly.
This captain is Li Ke, the king of Shu.
Wei Shuwan was immediately frightened.
He would rather provoke Du He than Li Ke.
So he said: "Humph, the captain is amazing. I want to see Du He..."
Without the coachman, Wei Shuwan had no choice but to walk to the county government office.
In the office center, Wei Shuwan saw Du He and said angrily: "Du He, please return my coachman to me, otherwise this matter will not end."
Du He looked at the young man and asked, "Who are you?"
Wei Shuwan: "..."
Am I so unknown?
He gritted his teeth and said, "I am Wei Shuwan, the son of the imperial censor at that time."
"Oh, you're here to raise pigs too?" Du He said lightly.
Wei Shuwan almost went berserk.
"Du He, please stop messing around here and return my coachman to me quickly..." Wei Shuwan angrily briefly explained what happened at the city gate.
Hearing this, Du He smiled and said: "Master Wei, I'm afraid you are looking in the wrong place. Since your coachman was taken away by the city management team, you should go to the city management team to ask for someone... But
, I heard that His Highness has not been going well with pig hunting recently and is in a bad mood. It is said that someone went to Guancheng Brigade to cause trouble and was chopped into minced meat on the spot and sent to a pig farm to feed pigs. However, you are the son of Mr. Wei. I want to come to His Highness to see how you are doing in Wei.
For the sake of my lord, I will definitely leave you with a complete corpse..."
"By the way," Du He turned around and asked Ma Zhou, "Old Ma, is there any movement at the Guancheng Brigade this morning?"
Ma Zhou said: "County Lord, this morning a nobleman from this county went to the city management team to cry and complained that the pig catching team trampled on his wheat when they went out to catch pigs in the city. His Highness, the King of Shu, ordered someone to serve him with a cutie.
Then he was sent to Anhu Avenue to be used as human flesh and stones to pave the way!"
Wei Shuwan's face turned pale.
Who are these people?
Too cruel!
He said tremblingly: "This...is there any royal law?"
Du He said with a smile: "Young Master Wei, in Hu County, the King of Shu is King Fa. By the way, you are going to the city management brigade, right? You may not know the way. I will send someone to take you there. Don't worry, by then
I will definitely ask your father to collect your body, and I will not let you be sent to feed pigs or be used as a pavement... Someone, send Master Wei to San..."
Wei Shuwan was so frightened that he trembled all over: "No, no, no, I won't go. I am not familiar with His Highness the King of Shu. It would be inappropriate to visit rashly... That coachman, let's talk about it some other time... This time, I am doing it for you."
It's my father's order, Du He, please release my second brother immediately, and everything will be easy for us."
"Are you here about Brother Wei?" Du He asked.
"Exactly! Please give me some face!"
Before coming here, Wei Shuwan was high-spirited and looked down upon no one. But now, he was timid. His tone was polite and consultative, and he didn't even dare to look at Du He's face.
