It was useless no matter how anxious and angry Yang was, Wei Yutang still left Lizhou without looking back, deciding that he had done the same. As for the Wei family who could not tolerate him, he could not care less.
After several sleepless days and nights, I finally arrived in Kyoto on the day before the execution.
The gate of Dali Temple was tightly closed, and no one could come in or out at will. Wei Yutang had no way to see him, so he simply beat the grievance drum outside Dali Temple loudly.
The jailer on duty at Dali Temple threatened him with a knife: "If you don't get out of here, if you knock me again, don't blame me. I'll be rude."
Wei Yutang paused for a while and then said: "I am a descendant of the Wei family in Lizhou. I have something important to ask for to see the minister of Dali Temple. Today I have beaten the drum of injustice. If the official treats you so politely, I also want to ask for an explanation."
..."
He has a gentle face, but he can be sharp when he should, and even ordinary people can't reason with him.
Although the yamen official didn't know much about the Wei family in Lizhou, he was annoyed by the commotion and thought about the crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the capital, so he didn't dare to threaten him anymore, so he had to report it seriously.
The yamen servant didn't know about the Wei family in Lizhou, but the minister of Dali Temple knew about it. He frowned and still invited the people in despite being angry.
The weather in June changes at every turn. The sky was clear just now, but soon there were thunderstorms. Wei Yutang's clothes were half wet, and he was haggard from the long days of traveling, but he was so embarrassed.
At that time, his back was still straight and he stepped forward neither humble nor arrogant.
The only case accepted by Dali Temple recently was the Yun family's case. The Minister of Dali Temple had also been on the team a long time ago. No matter who comes this time, it is impossible to reverse the current situation. He also showed an unhappy look at the moment: "You are
Wei family? What do you mean by beating the drum to complain?"
After a pause, he said coldly: "If you are here for the Yun family's case, I advise you not to even say anything, and turn around and leave immediately. For the sake of the Wei family, I will not argue with you."
."
Wei Yutang knew how much he had. No matter whether it was the Yun family or the Song family, he could find a way to save them. Not to mention his own efforts, even if he took the entire Wei family to fight, there wouldn't be much success.
Immediately he lowered his eyes, stepped forward and bowed his hands, saying: "For such a crime as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the imperial court, no matter who it is, everyone will punish him. No one in Wei dares to intercede with the Yun family."
After hearing this, the minister of Dali Temple looked around, and for a while he couldn't figure out which song Wei Yutang was singing.
Wei Yutang then said again: "There is only one thing that needs your noble hand."
The minister of Dali Temple asked: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it first."
The rules are already in place for our Wei family. Even if the Song family is implicated in the Yun family's case, a married woman should not be among them. I hope you will show your favor."
No matter how the Qibei Houfu declined, it was still a Houfu. Song Wende had no ability, but his son was in the Cao family's army in Liaodong. The eldest daughter was famous for marrying her nephew first and then her uncle. As for the other Song family
Although my daughter is unknown, the Minister of Dali Temple also knows her well.
Not because of anything else, but on the second day after the Song family was imprisoned, someone secretly got through and showed concern, and went to prison to cancel the engagement with the second girl of the Song family.
The Minister of Dali Temple also knew about these things, but since it was not a big deal, he was happy to do such a favor, so he turned a blind eye and pretended not to have seen it.
Someone just came to break off the engagement with the second girl of the Song family, and now this person from the Wei family came to the door and said that he was engaged to the second girl of the Song family and asked Dali Temple to release her.
When encountering something like this, others would like to hide as far away as possible, for fear that their own family would be implicated, but this kid in front of him is nice and even comes to his door.
The Minister of Dali Temple did not believe Wei Yutang's words at all. If it had been anyone else, he might have been arrested as an accomplice, but the people of the Wei family in Lizhou could not be touched casually.
After all, a pen in the hand of a literati is worth thousands of troops, and one mistake will result in eternal regrets. If you are not careful, you may regret it in the future.
But since he can't move, he can still tease him. The minister of Dali Temple said: "How can I believe it just based on your mouth? If you say that you are from the Wei family in Lizhou, you should also show your identity as the Wei family."
Here are the tokens, and where is the marriage certificate to the Song family? If you cannot produce these things, I will accuse you of cheating."
Wei Yutang had a token to prove that he was a member of the Wei family, but there was no marriage certificate.
He took out the jade pendant unique to the Wei family, and took out the gold hairpin that he had prepared earlier, and said: "This thing is a token worn by the descendants of the Wei family. The thing is with the person, but the thing is lost and the person perishes. Your Excellency,
Since he knows the Wei family in Lizhou, he must also recognize this thing. Mr. Wei travels abroad all year round, so he would not take the marriage certificate with him. It is a long way to Lizhou, and I can't go back to get it for a while, but
The gold hairpin in my hand is the same as the one in the hands of the second girl from the Song family. Can this be proved?"
The golden hairpin was not a pair, it was specially made for Song Qinghuan back then. However, when the marriage failed, he returned it and only gave away the red bird hairpin.
Wei Yutang asked Wei Yutang to keep this golden hairpin with him for several years.
All the Song family members were imprisoned, and the Qibei Houfu did not raid their homes. No one knew whether Song Qingyan had such a golden hairpin in his hand. Wei Yutang knew that the Dali Temple minister was not easy to fool, and he could win.
For the sake of the Wei family.
Precisely because he wanted to use the Wei family to show off his power, Wei Yutang requested to leave the Wei family, which would not cause unnecessary trouble to the Wei family in the future.
The Minister of Dali Temple can give the Wei family some face, but at least he needs someone from the Wei family who can talk to him. Wei Yutang came alone, without any letters or a marriage certificate. He could speak with just a gold hairpin.
Yes, it must have nothing to do with the Wei family.
What he is doing now is not a good thing. Although he feels that Song Qingyan, a little girl, cannot achieve anything, he does not want to let her go for nothing.
He chuckled twice, and after laughing, his expression changed again, and he said sternly: "Come here, bring this disruptive matter to the official."
Wei Yutang did not expect such a result at once, and he also looked stern, stuffed the golden hairpin into his arms, and said with fierce eyes: "What do you mean, sir?"
The minister of Dali Temple said: "I am just doing official business. It is impossible to save the Song family."
Wei Yutang was full of anger, but after considering the pros and cons in his mind, he didn't stay much at that moment, kicked away the people who surrounded him to arrest him, and fled quickly.
