Lu Liang came out in disgrace and asked his servants to take all the banknotes back to his house.
When Mr. Lu saw that there were not many bills missing, and knew that Wei Huai was unwilling to accept bribes, he became very angry. He reached out and grabbed the bills and tore them into pieces on the ground. However, he refused to give up, so he asked someone to tell Lu Liang and ask him to ask the prince again for the magic method.
Lu Liang had no choice but to enter the palace again. When he arrived at the waiting room, waiting for Wan Heshun to come out, he immediately knelt down in front of him.
"Oh, Mr. Lu, what are you doing...Did Wei Huai not agree to your promise?" Wan Heshun helped him up and asked.
"King Wanjun, my eyes have really been opened!" Lu Liang sighed sadly, "There are such unreasonable people in this world! With him here, my brother will be pissed to death!"
"This Wei Jijiu is such a person, even I have a headache, let alone you..."
After hearing Wan Heshun's words, Lu Liang became even more angry and stamped his feet anxiously: "Is there really no way to cure him?! I don't believe there is such a thing in this world!"
"Why don't you just kill him?" Wan Heshunyun smiled lightly.
His true purpose is revealed here. The prince originally wanted to take this opportunity to cause trouble for Wei Huai and make the road for the three of them no longer so easy; but seeing that things had reached the current stage, he had no choice but to gently push the boat along and use a vicious plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
But for the Lu family, this was a desperate move. Although Lu Liang did not want the Lu family to be the scapegoat for Wan Heshun's murder, he could not match the extreme hatred for Wei Huai in his heart, so he agreed:
"The prince and I have also come up with this idea! This guy really deserves to die!"
Wan Heshun nodded happily: "Then I'll ask Brother Lu to invite the assassin."
"Of course, but..."
"If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Guan Weihuai holds an important position and he may not allow anyone to get close to him. Even if there is an assassin, where can he start?"
Wan Heshun shook his head and laughed: "If you can't even handle the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, then what do I, the prefect, do for a living?"
"You mean..."
"Tomorrow I will summon Wei Huai and other officials to the palace for discussion as usual. Your people will disguise themselves as officers and soldiers and lie down at the Meridian Gate. When they see Wei Huai's sedan arriving, they will step forward to assassinate him. Wouldn't they be captured easily?"
He smiled and knocked Lu Liang on the head:
"You have to be flexible when thinking about things!"
"Mr. Wei?"
Wei Huai opened the door and saw that it was someone sent by the palace, waiting outside the door.
"Do you want to come in?" Wei Huai asked.
"No, no, I'm here to tell Jijiu on the prince's order: After lunch today, all officials will come to the palace to discuss politics. We have important matters to discuss."
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's hard work there... Since there's nothing to do with the wine ceremony, I'll take my leave."
"Farewell."
Wei Huai closed the door and looked back at Yang Huaisheng and Xia Yuanlong. Seeing that Xia Yuanlong looked uneasy, he leaned over and asked, "What do you think, dear brother?"
"I feel something is strange." Xia Yuanlong said.
"What's weird?" Yang Huaisheng was also surprised and suspicious.
"Recently, we have not made any move to reform the legal system. We only discuss affairs with the six ministries on weekdays. Why do we call people from the Imperial Academy again today? It must be bad."
"What can I do? The prince asked me to go, and I dare to refuse?" Wei Huai said worriedly.
"Yes...brother Renying..." Yang Huaisheng also looked at him worriedly.
Xia Yuanlong was dull for a while and then said: "I have my own idea about this matter, don't worry."
It was noon, Wei Huai ordered his servants to bring food, and invited Xia Yuanlong and Yang Huaisheng to eat together in the house. They also agreed to do it for the sake of convenience. But Xia Yuanlong only took three or two bites, then he put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands, and said with a smile: "Brothers, please eat slowly. I have something to do when I go out." Wei Huaizheng didn't know why, but wanted to ask him for an explanation. But Xia Yuanlong turned around the screen early and went out.
"We can't let him pretend to be mysterious," Yang Huaisheng stopped eating, stood up immediately, and put on his official robe, "I want to ask him!" He quickly walked out of the house and took a path to the door. Seeing Xia Yuanlong ordering his servants to carry out Wei Huai's official sedan with a blue curtain and a tin roof.
"Yes, carry it out, carry it out..." Xia Yuanlong shouted.
"Brother Xia Xian," Yang Huaisheng stepped forward and asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"Brother Zhong Fang, it's more important to go back to eat. Didn't I say it? Don't worry." Xia Yuanlong advised.
"Should we discuss this matter at least?" Yang Huaisheng said.
"Then..." Xia Yuanlong tugged on his sleeve, "Go and talk."
The two of them walked to a hidden place. When Xia Yuanlong saw no one around, he whispered:
"I estimate that Wan Heshun is planning to kill Brother Wei."
Yang Huaisheng looked at him in shock. "Is there any basis for this?"
Xia Yuanlong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "There is no real evidence...it's just speculation." After that, he added: "But be careful to sail the ten thousand year ship."
"Then what do you want to do with the sedan?"
Xia Yuanlong's eyes moved hesitantly, and then he smiled: "Then please don't tell Ji Min, Brother Zhong Fang."
"I know this." Yang Huaisheng said.
"I want to come up with a plan to replace the old one. I am going to send this sedan to Si Ye and find an excuse to change the sedans on both sides. If something happens then, the person who will die will definitely be... someone else." Xia Yuanlong said slowly. , secretly spying on Yang Huaisheng's face.
"Si Ye is also a Wan Heshun person. This guy likes to accept stolen money and usually bullies others. I think killing him can also give that old guy a long memory. Even if this kind of person is killed unjustly, I am afraid that even Minxian Brother There will be no objection."
"That's not what I meant. I just felt that the people were not calm when dealing with important matters, and were afraid of causing trouble, so I just talked to Zhong Fang."
"That's right. Then get busy!" Yang Huaisheng patted him and walked into the house. He turned around and saw Wei Huai. He concealed the matter and only said: "Xia Yuanlong also refuses to accuse anyone. Let him Just go."
Although Xia Yuanlong moved the sedan out, he did not dare to sit in it for fear of violating the regulations. He taught two servants to carry the empty sedan while he walked beside him. After zigzagging for a few streets, he landed in the Imperial College. forward. The guard at the gate knew that he was the brother of Master Jijiu and Master Dianbo, and did not want to offend him, so he turned a blind eye and allowed him to stride across the threshold.
Xia Yuanlong asked Si Ye where he lived and went straight through the corridor to find him, but bumped into him halfway.
The two bumped shoulders. Si Ye recognized Xia Yuanlong's appearance and stopped him flatly: "How dare you come!"
Xia Yuanlong hurriedly bowed as a salute and said with a smile: "Master Jijiu has something to do, so he sent me here to tell you something important."
Si Ye was quite surprised. He quickly adjusted his appearance and said, "Please come into the office."
The two of them walked through the corridor, walked to a house, climbed the stone steps, blew the dust on the door, opened the two door panels, stepped in, and then closed the door ajar.
