The main palace of Xiafeng City.
In the eyes of outsiders, the City Lord's Mansion has not changed much. Even if the execution site of the Nightingale members was openly robbed some time ago, causing the City Lord's Mansion to lose face, it would not shake the rule of the City Lord's Mansion. There are still people with the surname Wei in the Xiafeng Mountain area, and no one dares to say no to the orders issued by the city lord's palace.
But the officials inside and outside the city lord's palace only saw Wei Tianqi once after that day. Wei Tianqi confessed that he was going to practice in seclusion and never saw anyone again. The affairs inside and outside the city lord's mansion are now handed over to Wei Chao and Wei Yang, the two most trusted family members of Wei Tianqi. And these two are the only ones who know that Wei Tianqi is not actually in the house at this time. However, in order to conceal this, when encountering some difficult situations, the two would still pretend to ask the city lord in seclusion for instructions from time to time, pretending that Wei Tianqi was still in the mansion. So far, it has not aroused anyone's suspicion.
Unlike the last time he went to Nantian College for further study, Wei Chao and Wei Yang were not informed of Wei Tianqi's true whereabouts this time, and it was obviously not suitable to be made public. The two of them didn't know when Wei Tianqi would come back, so they had no choice but to take on these things. After all, the two of them are just family guards of the Wei family and have no actual duties in the Xuanjun empire. The Wei family's status and power are still there, and their position is far more prominent than many officials. However, if the Wei family loses power, their future may be difficult to say. Therefore, the two of them did not dare to show any slightness, nor did they dare to have any objections.
Fortunately, nothing happened in a few days. The escaped Nightingale members never showed up again, and Lu Ping and others never returned after leaving Xiafeng City. However, some news came from Zhiling City. I heard that Lu Ping was really hired by the Academy Supervisory Committee, and finally from When Zhilingcheng left, he also fought his way out.
This is the number one enemy of the Xiafeng City Lord's Mansion. He is the person Wei Tianqi has been thinking about for revenge. Now he has become so powerful, which makes Wei Chao and Wei Yang very sleepless.
But what made them collapse even more was yet to come: a few days after Lu Ping left Zhiling City, an order from Emperor Xuan himself was delivered to the house, and Lu Ping and others were put on a wanted order for a year. The Fengfeng Academy, which had been revoked and had been banned for a year, was allowed to resume.
All parties act according to orders and act expediently.
The last sentence of the imperial order made Wei Chao and Wei Yang look at each other, unable to speak for a long time.
All parties?
What parties are involved in this? For other jurisdictions, it is enough to tear off the wanted warrant and ignore these people from then on. But for them in the Xiafeng District, these people have a personal grudge against the city lord, how can they just let it go? There is also Fengfeng Academy, which is originally located in the Xiafeng District. This restoration is also a matter of landing in their Xiafeng District. There is no hospital supervisory committee in Xiafeng District, and things are done on the basis of expediency... It sounds like these words were specifically addressed to their Xiafeng City Lord's Mansion.
But now that the city lord Wei Tianqi is not here, Wei Chao and Wei Yang have been discussing for several days but can't figure out how to deal with this matter. In short, we first uncovered all the wanted notices posted all over the city. As for the restoration of Fengfeng Academy, the two of them were determined not to take the initiative until they received any clear instructions.
There was nothing going on in the mansion today, so when the two of them got together, they couldn't help but murmur again. Wei Tianqi's whereabouts and Xuan Jun's prominent imperial order were issues that the two of them discussed a hundred and eighty times a day. They sent spies to find out, but nothing was found.
Just as they were helpless, they suddenly saw the guard guard rushing towards the two of them in a panic.
"Two adults, it's not good!" The guard shouted loudly before the people arrived.
"What's the matter?" Wei Chao was a little dissatisfied with the guards' panic and frowned.
"Lu Ping is here!" the guard shouted.
"What?" Wei Chao stood up in surprise, and there was a snap beside him. The tea bowl Wei Yang was holding fell to the ground, smashing it into powder.
Even if Wei Yang is like this, Wei Chao can't blame his subordinates for panic, not to mention that he himself is not much better, that is, he didn't hold the tea bowl in his hand just now, otherwise even if he didn't drop it, it would be extremely serious to spill half the bowl. possible.
"Where are you?" Wei Chao asked anxiously.
"Here." The person who answered him was not a guard, but Lu Ping and his party. They entered the dignified City Lord's Mansion, the highest governing body in the entire jurisdiction, as if they were strolling into the back garden. They were surrounded by guards on their left and right, but none of them dared to draw their swords or draw their swords, with a look of shame on their faces. It seems that they also know that their guard is very derelict in his duty, but no one dares to stop him. A group of guards, like followers, escorted Lu Ping and his party in. At this time, they all looked at Wei Chao and Wei Yang. The two of them were in a daze, and they couldn't tell whether this was their men or not.
"Where is Wei Tianqi?" Lu Ping asked immediately after he came in and still didn't see the rightful owner.
"The city lord is practicing in seclusion..." Wei Chao struggled to say this lie that lasted for many days, feeling anxious in his heart. If these people insist on looking for Wei Tianqi, how should he stop them? Will everything be exposed? Once the news comes out again, isn't the sky in Xiafeng District about to change?
"Oh, then who can I talk to if I have anything to talk to now?" Lu Ping said immediately.
"Ah?" Wei Chao was in a panic and despair, but he didn't expect Lu Ping's next words, and he was stunned for a moment. After staying for a while, he quickly said: "Tell me if you have anything to say."
"We want to rebuild Fengfeng Academy." Lu Ping said.
"The old site of Zhaofeng Academy has not been requisitioned yet, please excuse me." Wei Chao said immediately.
"Is it that simple?" Lu Ping was surprised.
Of course it's not that simple! Wei Chao said this in his heart, but nodded with certainty on his face. At the moment, he just hopes that these people can leave as soon as possible. As for the formalities and regulations...that's not a big deal. Just be happy.
"Oh, excuse me." After Lu Ping received a positive reply, he nodded, and immediately they turned and left together.
This time, none of the guards moved, and neither did Wei Chao. Everyone watched off together. After a long time, Wei Chao came back to his senses, sat back down somewhat numbly, and turned to look at Wei Yang.
Wei Yang sat aside. When he heard the news of Lu Ping's arrival, he dropped a tea bowl and then showed no reaction. He did not stand up or speak when a group of people came in. He seemed to be frozen in the moment when he heard the news, and it has not been released until now.
"Wei Yang." Wei Chao called, but there was no response.
"Wei Yang!" This time, with a little bit of Ming Qi, Wei Yang next to him finally became excited and his expression began to move.
"Leaving?" he said.
"Let's go." Wei Chao said.
Wei Yang's face was still pale, but he finally took a breath and stood up in a daze.
Wei Chao noticed that there was something wet on the chair.
"You... peed?" Wei Chao was stunned and wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
Wei Yang looked back and didn't show any shame. He just shook his head and said, "No, it's sweat."
Wei Chao didn't bother to check whether it was urine or sweat. In short, Wei Yang was terribly frightened. He is different from many people, such as Wei Chao, who had to conflict with Lu Ping and others just because of his loyalty to the Lord. Wei Yang, on the other hand, had some personal grudges with Lu Ping during this process, so it is understandable that he would be more afraid.
But it seems that Lu Ping and the others have never seen this guy, right? Wei Chao recalled the short time that Lu Ping and the others came and went. They just talked to him and didn't pay attention to anyone around them.
"Why are they here?" Wei Yang asked at this time. He was so nervous that he broke the film just now and didn't even know what happened.
"They want to rebuild Fengfeng Academy." Wei Chao said.
