After Chongzhen left, the Minister of Industry came to the side of the chief minister. He had no idea and could only find their backbone to see if he could come up with any countermeasures.
"Master Chief Assistant, we should."
Before he could say anything, the first assistant raised his hand, interrupted the Minister of Works, and left the hall directly.
Nowadays, not all the court and the central government are in their hands. Most of the court officials are just outsiders. They lean towards the other side where the power is strong. Speaking here is easy for them to hear.
The Minister of Industry looked around and felt that it was too abrupt. He didn't even remember what the occasion was.
Others also followed and left. Xu Wei stood in the middle of the hall, and the chief assistant took the lead to pass by Xu Wei.
Just looking at him coldly, without stopping or speaking, the ministers on the chief minister's side followed the chief minister and left the hall.
Some neutral officials and ministers all smiled and congratulated, and left quickly.
"Congratulations to General Xu."
"General Xu, His Majesty asked me to find an official residence for you. Let's go and have a look."
Seeing Xu Wei still standing there, Wei Zhongxian walked over and said.
"Well, let's go."
Living in a tent outside the city every day, I had already become impatient. I originally planned to buy a property by myself, but I didn't expect that Chongzhen had already prepared it for me.
He didn't refuse and followed Wei Zhongxian walking in the city.
After half a stick of incense, the two came to the door of a mansion.
"Is this the place His Majesty gave me?"
Xu Wei stood at the door of the official residence, looking at the plaque at the entrance of the official residence, and then looking at the street next to him. He couldn't believe that he lived here.
"Yes, if General Xu is not satisfied, I can talk to His Majesty and find you another place to live."
Wei Zhongxian looked at Xu Wei's jaw dropped and envied this silly boy for making such a big contribution as soon as he entered the capital.
"No need to change, no need to change, I'm very satisfied."
Hearing that he wanted to change his place, Xu Wei quickly waved his hand. The price of such a magnificent house cannot be measured. But thinking of the original owner, he asked Wei Zhongxian a little embarrassedly.
"But this is the sealed Fan Mansion. If I want to live here, will anyone gossip about me?"
Today in the court, I experienced it myself, and finally realized that what is being circulated outside is true. His Majesty's rights are slowly being emptied out, and he is afraid that the officials in the court will use this to launch an attack.
"What are you afraid of! In the whole world, it's the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, it's the ministers of the king! Who dares to say no to what your majesty wants to do?"
Hearing Xu Wei's worries, Wei Zhongxian instantly felt angry, and the house he had given him for free was grinding away.
"Okay, please ask Eunuch Wei for more help in the future."
Xu Wei also saw Wei Zhongxian's energy in the court. He had just entered the capital and was unfamiliar with the place, so he could easily be targeted, so he had to have someone on his side.
Originally, when I was in the court, I saw that the chief minister was powerful, but His Majesty didn't like it. After many choices, only Wei Zhongxian was the most suitable.
After saying that, he took out a banknote from his arms, and when he saw no one was around, he quickly stuffed it into Wei Zhongxian's hand.
"As long as we are loyal to His Majesty, our glory and wealth will be indispensable."
Wei Zhongxian glanced at it and saw that it was a five hundred tael silver note. He thought that the other party was just a general and the money was considered a large amount. After collecting it, he said with a smile on his face. .
"General, general."
A horse stopped at the door of the mansion. Wang Ke got off the horse and walked anxiously to Xu Wei and said.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that he was so anxious, something must have happened, so he quickly helped Wang Ke up and asked.
"this."
Wang Ke glanced at Wei Zhongxian next to him, hesitant and hesitant to say anything.
Both Xu Wei and Wei Zhongxian noticed Wang Ke's eyes. Wei Zhongxian didn't know what was going on and didn't want to hear it, so he turned sideways and looked at Xu Wei.
Xu Wei also felt a little embarrassed. Just now he asked Wei Zhongxian to help him. After a while, he didn't even let him hear the news. Xu Wei looked at Wang Ke angrily and didn't look at the situation when he reported the matter.
"Eunuch Wei is one of our own! If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Last night, Eunuch Wei led me to a village outside the city, and finally left a small group of people. Today I went to recall them and found that they were all killed."
Wang Ke saw that Xu Wei was a little angry, and now he couldn't even say it, so he could only say it outright.
"Oh no, take people outside the city quickly. If you go late, it will be too late."
When he heard that something happened outside the city, he thought it must be Hu Yunqing's place and quickly said to Xu Wei.
Xu Wei saw that Wei Zhongxian was so anxious, something might have happened, and he quickly said to his accompanying soldiers.
"Come on, get on your horse quickly. Follow me out of the city."
A dozen people on horseback quickly shuttled through the streets.
The generals who were gathered at the city gate saw clearly that the person riding over was their general, and quickly moved the horse away from the door.
A smooth road to the outside of the city was ensured.
The group of people quickly arrived outside Zhuangzi. Seeing that Zhuangzi was a little agitated, Wei Zhongxian looked at Wang Ke and wanted to know what happened.
"General, Eunuch Wei, we have carried away all the bodies and are going door to door to inquire about the situation."
"Nonsense!"
Wei Zhongxian got off his horse and walked quickly towards the village.
Xu Wei didn't understand, so he got off his horse and followed Wei Zhongxian.
As soon as Wei Zhongxian arrived, he saw several officers and soldiers surrounding Hu Yunqing's door, wondering what they were arguing about.
Now that it was inconvenient for him to come forward, many officials in the capital who knew him looked at Wang Ke behind him and whispered a few words in his ear.
"What are you doing!"
Wang Ke was wearing armor and asked someone to cut a path through the crowd and walked straight in front of the officials.
"General Wang, please take a step to speak."
When the official saw that it was the general of the Shenji Camp, he instantly turned into a frost-beaten eggplant, losing his arrogant look.
What the Shenji Camp did last night has long been spread among the people who work like them. Even if they have ten heads, they don't dare to offend the people of the Shenji Camp.
Wang Ke was a little hesitant. He was always in the military camp and did not understand the twists and turns of official circles. He looked at Wei Zhongxian in the crowd, who nodded.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian nod, he moved a few steps to the side and asked the official.
"Speak if you have anything to say."
"This family is very rich. We can take this opportunity to extort money. Then we two brothers will only need a little bit of money."
Just when Wang Ke returned to the capital to report, the soldiers left behind didn't know what to do. They were filled with anger and didn't know where to direct it.
These are ordinary people here, and we can’t tell who did it. We finally decided to let the government investigate this matter.
