"Wang Xian Cheng, no, Wang Shangshu! Qi hasn't seen you for a long time!" Qi Zi opened his arms and pulled the Chao County Xian Cheng over with a smile.
"Commander Qi, where is the Duke of Yue?" Wangxian Cheng walked into the hall and asked after chatting with him for a while.
Qi Zi invited him to sit on a chair, "Mr. Lu is still busy, and there is no need for him to come forward at this time. Besides, I have been in contact with you, so naturally I know you better than Mr. Lu. When the time is right, Mr. Lu will It will definitely come down.”
Wang Xiancheng was very puzzled: "As long as you are willing to help me and help me back to where I was, what will happen when the time comes?"
Qi Zi patted his shoulder: "Don't worry. The reason why we want to invite you back is because there is something that happened back then. You can be a witness. If you want to return to your hometown with honor, you have to pay a small price. no?"
"A small price?" Wang Xiancheng looked a little embarrassed and rubbed his hands nervously, "But... you don't have to involve me in that matter?"
Qi Zi smiled: "This is going to involve framing the blame. Isn't that what the dyer who got you into such a mess did the same way?"
"Okay," Wang Xiancheng was persuaded by him, "How can you exclude me from this?"
"The person who burned the dyer's confession and was sent to kill you is a suitable scapegoat. We can capture him and then devise a plan. Under Wan Heshun's orders, Wei Chong will be detrimental to our party. By burning all the evidence one by one and killing those who knew it, you can completely get rid of the relationship."
"Who is this person?" Wang Xiancheng is old and confused.
"Wei Chong."
"Wei Chong?" Lu Fangxuan stood up from his chair and looked at Qi Zi, "What is the result of your discussion with the man named Wang?"
"This subordinate is not stupid. He knows that Wei Chong can't be caught now. These words are just lies to deceive that guy." Qi Zi slowly walked up to him.
"What do you mean by this?" Lu Fangxuan asked.
"My real strategy is to make him convinced of the matter first, and then set up a trap to follow our mercy. In the end, Wei Chong will sue Wang Xiancheng, and the entire party will still be able to escape the blame."
"What should we do specifically?"
Qi Zi smiled proudly and said, "Don't ask too much, I won't make a mistake. The only thing I want to ask you for is whether it is possible or not. You are better than me in this regard."
"In my opinion," Lu Fangxuan slowly sat down, "No matter what, Wei Chong is still a member of Wan Dang. If he learns that Wang Xian Cheng is still alive, there is no guarantee that he will tell Wan Heshun."
"But the official felt that he could not tell the truth and just say to him, 'I want to collect Wan Dang's old crimes, so you can bring out the incident about the dyer and ruin Wan Heshun's reputation.'" .”
"It seems very safe." Lu Fangxuan nodded, "But Wei Chong hasn't been out for a long time. There needs to be a bait to bring the fish to the surface, otherwise it will not be willing to take the bait."
Qi Zi gritted his steel teeth and said fiercely: "Since Wan Dang is the first to attack, let's not be polite. We will bring back the redundancies and start a life-and-death fight!"
Lu Yingshan stepped heavily on the bluestone in the garden, looking anxiously at the sky, as if waiting for something to arrive.
However, it didn't take long before a member of the imperial army ran up from behind him. After saluting, he muttered in Lu Yingshan's ears for a long time. Lu Yingshan still had a tense and stern face, motioning for him to step back, and walked quickly towards Liu Zhennian's residence.
"General Liu," Lu Yingshan saw that he was practicing martial arts in the inner courtyard and deliberately kept a distance, "according to what you said, I have found a better way."
After hearing this, Liu Zhennian stopped his posture, threw the sword in his hand on the stone bench behind him, put on his coat, and came closer and said: "You are really smart! Tell me about your new method."
"I sent people to search. Previously, the two parties in Wanlu used the policy of redundancy to eliminate dissidents and continued internal fighting. Because the relationship has eased, it was abandoned and not used. Now there is a strong tendency for Wanlu to break up. It can be It's called out again." Lu Yingshan still spoke with a straight face, without any hint of happiness, which made people doubt whether he actually told the good news.
But Liu Zhennian was very satisfied: "Okay! I killed a small Hanlin before and caused such a big disturbance. It seems that relying on the power at hand to kill people is too arrogant and reckless. Now let them fight on their own. Go, I don’t care and it’s easy.”
"Who is going to blow such a wind?" Liu Zhennian asked again.
"After investigation by the lower officials, it was found that Wei Chongli was in charge of redundancy, which could enable him to instigate Wan Heshun." Lu Yingshan advised.
"Just do it this way," Liu Zhennian rolled up his sleeves, "Don't let all parties find out that we are interfering."
"Yes." Lu Yingshan turned and backed away.
As soon as Wei Chong arrived at the Yamen, he saw two clerks leaning at the door. They didn't know what they were talking about. They were talking very enthusiastically and did not see his arrival at all. Wei Chong kicked the man in the butt. The man staggered two steps, turned around, and bowed respectfully: "Master Wei, Master Wei..."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Wei Chong shouted.
"The little people heard rumors in the alleys that the common people were not satisfied with me, a small official. They all thought that Mr. Wei had done a good job in cutting redundancies. He threatened that if he did not cut redundancies, he would cause trouble in the Yamen, the palace, and... "
"Normally there is no such movement, it must be instigated by someone with bad intentions!" Another person shouted hurriedly.
Wei Chong heard the word "cut redundant" and remembered the glorious days of those years. Now, in addition to aging a few years, my life has become more and more miserable.
"Yes! Yes! Someone must be instigating it. This redundancy won't happen within a year or two, so just don't worry." Wei Chong was already duplicity at this time, and all he was thinking about was the 'good stories' about getting rich back then.
He entered the room, looked at the scattered official documents on the table, and flipped through a few of them. They were all irrelevant nonsense. Wei Chong became more and more angry because he, the secretary, was obviously the second in command of the yamen, and no matter who was important, he had to beg him! No matter who he is, he must respectfully wait for his approval! Yes, everything was given by King Wanjun, and it was also taken away by King Wanjun. If you want to earn it back, you must beg for mercy from this person again.
Wei Chong smashed the table and yelled: "Cut redundant, cut redundant, you damn didn't cut enough back then!"
He felt that public opinion had reached such an extent that this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Wei Chong's outburst of rage prompted him to walk straight to Wan Heshun's mansion without hesitation.
"Prince Wanjun!" His kowtow was so clear that it echoed throughout the living room. "Can you hear what's being said on the street?"
Wan Heshun hadn't seen such a crazy Wei Chong for a long time. He still found it novel and interesting. He smiled and took a sip of tea: "Book Office Wei, tell me."
"They are waiting for you to discuss redundancy again and sweep out all those incompetent officials!" Wei Chong crawled forward two steps, and his servile appearance became vivid again.
