Little Wife Treasure [Rebirth]
Chapter 24
To be honest, although he didn't show anything on his face, Qin Wang Xie Cheng was really a little afraid of himself, the third brother, recently.Seeing Xie Linwei's narrowed eyes, he stopped drinking, took a sip before putting it down, and turned his head away to stop provoking the other party.
After all, anyone who wakes up and suddenly finds two people covered in blood who don't know whether they are alive or dead will be scared out of their wits.In particular, those two people were both Qinghou personally selected by him in the Tianxiang Building, and after being trained and sent to Prince Jing's Mansion for a few days, they were sent back in such a miserable state.
Or send it to your bed!
Qin Wang Xie Cheng understood that this was Xie Lin's warning to him. After all, since the people in Prince Jing's Mansion were able to quietly send these two live and clean men into his room without disturbing the guards in his mansion, if one day he really I'm in a hurry, Xie Lin...
Xie Cheng thought back to the chill that suddenly rose behind his back that day. Apart from training the servants and guards in his mansion hard, and increasing the patrolling in the mansion, he really didn't dare to act rashly anymore recently.
But having said that, as the emperor's own son, as the king of the dynasty, Qin Wang was afraid, but he couldn't help but have some doubts about his third brother about men.
Let's just talk about the two little twins he sent into Prince Jing's mansion. What a wonderful pair of young and shy beauties. After all, there is nothing wrong with Wei'er, but Prince Jing's mansion sent him back after interrogating people like that, but those two beauties have not been budded yet!
I don't know whether to say that these two Qingshou are not capable, or that he, the third brother, is really the undisturbed Liu Xiahui. Xie Cheng asked himself that his aesthetics must be fine, and the two Qingshou's abilities he had before I also tested it a little, and the means of seducing people are not low, and he doesn't think Xie Lin is a good gentleman Liu Xiahui, so...
Xie Cheng curled his lips, turned his head and glanced under Xie Lin's table, his eyes suspicious.
Don't be his third brother or that, right?It's no wonder that for so many years, there have been few women and Shuang'er in Prince Jing's mansion who have been favored, and his third brother's temper has become more and more elusive day by day.
It must be suffocating.
Thinking about it this way, Xie Cheng forgot the fear that had arisen towards Xie Lin just now, on the contrary, the unwarranted pity and superiority took advantage of the situation and accounted for most of it.
Xie Lin didn't know what Xie Cheng was thinking. At this moment, he was looking at the front of the banquet hall, where Emperor Jin Yuan was talking to the soldiers who were about to be enshrined.
Standing at the front is Wei Xizhou. The skin on his face is rough after many years of wind and sun, but his piercing eyes are bright and frightening. Just standing there, the man as the Zhenbei Army The commander's aura was revealed for a moment, he was a person who could calm people's mind without making a sound.
"Wei Qing has been in the frontier for more than ten years. I still remember that when you left, you were still an inexperienced boy. You liked to stay in the barracks all day long, wielding knives and guns, saying that you wanted to defend your family like your father. Kingdom, guard our great Jin frontier." Emperor Jin Yuan took his seat, asked Wei Xizhou to come forward, personally raised Wei Xizhou's arms that were about to kneel down and saluted, and sighed with emotion, "...Now, you have indeed done it! .”
"I live up to the emperor's orders." Wei Xizhou's voice was sonorous and forceful, "The ancestors of the Wei family have a saying, you should swear to protect the Great Jin."
Emperor Jin Yuan's general Wei Xizhou clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Good! Good! Good!"
The emperor was happy, and the courtiers of the aristocratic family at the bottom naturally wanted to flatter him. A few important courtiers took the lead to stand up and said that it was a great blessing for the Jin Dynasty to have such a good general. They would kneel down and shout long live my emperor, God bless In the Great Jin Dynasty, Emperor Jin and Yuan were greeted by everyone, and suddenly there was a harmonious picture of the monarch and his ministers on the main hall.
After that, it was time for Emperor Jin Yuan to seal the soldiers present.
The imperial decree was drawn up in advance, and the old eunuch Zhao Lin held the imperial decree in his hand, and read out: "The commander of the Zhenbei Army, Wei Xizhou, led the troops to defeat Beidi, Xuan Demingen, and made great contributions. He is the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses, and he specially bestowed Jingzhou with a fief of a hundred miles, and a thousand households in the city of food, and I admire this."
At this time, it was Wei Xizhou's turn to kneel down to thank him, but after the old eunuch finished reading the imperial decree, after waiting and waiting, Emperor Jin Yuan didn't see Wei Xizhou getting up, his expression changed slightly, and he said meaningfully: "Wei Qing, But do you think the reward I gave was too light?"
"I don't dare to have such an idea!" Wei Xizhou knelt on the ground and shook his head, "It's just that before I get the gift of being a saint, I still want your majesty to be the master of my Wei family!"
Emperor Jin Yuan was taken aback, his eyebrows frowned slightly and he said: "Listen to what Wei Qing said, what wronged did the Wei family suffer?"
Wei Xizhou's eyes were red, he raised his head from the front of the hall, and looked straight at Changping Hou himself who was huddled in the corner of the hall with a guilty conscience.
Changping Hou's heart felt cold, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he secretly thought that he was about to suffer.
Sure enough, in the next second, before Wei Xizhou could say anything, the angry young soldiers behind him complained for him: "Your Majesty, the general has led the army for decades and has not returned home, but this time he returned to Beijing, he found that The home is gone, can there be no grievances in this heart?"
Emperor Jin Yuan's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked doubtfully: "I remember that the Wei family's mansion is not far from Yu Wang's mansion, why is it gone?"
Wei Xizhou's face was moved, and the iron-blooded man's eyes turned red and said: "Your Majesty, let's ask His Royal Highness Prince Yu first."
"Second, what do you say?"
Yu Wang Xiequ, who was suddenly named, was still watching the excitement outside the situation. When he was named at first, he was shocked at first, and then stood up from the table quite innocently under the probing eyes of Emperor Jin Yuan and said: : "My son is not very clear about this matter, but at the beginning of the establishment of the mansion, the mansion of General Wei next door has already fallen into decay, and I thought that the mansion of Wei has no servants because it has been empty for many years It’s only because of taking care of it that it’s so dilapidated, but judging by General Wei’s intentions today, it seems too much like this?”
"The foundation of my Wei family is all in the capital. When I left Beijing, I left a confidant in Beijing to take care of some affairs. Although the confidant is old, he has loyal juniors to help him, but today I return to Beijing. , Seeing that the Wei Mansion is in decline, I was shocked, thinking that something happened to the mansion, but I didn't think it was in vain that the family property was embezzled by villains!"
King Yu was also curious: "Is it the so-called loyal servant who secretly stole the property of the Wei Mansion and escaped?"
Emperor Jin Yuan also looked at Wei Xizhou in the same way.
"No." Wei Xizhou's voice turned cold, and his face was full of pain, "That loyal servant was indeed loyal, but unfortunately he didn't survive until I came back and fell into the dirt, and the villain I was talking about was Taking advantage of this opportunity to enter the Wei Mansion and usurp the century-old foundation of our Wei family."
When he said this, some courtiers of the aristocratic family couldn't help but think of something, and they all cast stern glances at the already trembling Marquis Changping.
After all, Marquis Changping used his identity as the uncle of the Wei family to occupy the Wei mansion on the grounds that there were no Wei clan relatives in Beijing, but he did it quite aboveboard, and he often let the people in the capital know about it.Although it was said at the time that he was to help the Wei Mansion take care of the family's wealth, after so many years, the glory of the Changping Hou Mansion has become more and more prosperous day by day, while the Wei family seems to have withered into an empty house. , everyone must not believe it.
However, before this, most of the aristocratic families in Beijing turned a blind eye to this matter, and the reason was simply because the daughter of the He family married by the Marquis of Changping was unknown, but she was lucky to have someone in her life. The concubine Hui, who was in the limelight in the palace, supported her as the first sister. No one in the family wanted to offend the concubine who was loved by the emperor for the sake of a Wei family far away at the border, so they let the nosy ones go again. Ask how the Wei family is doing.
But what's terrible is that Wei Xizhou, who is the only blood of the Wei family, has returned to Beijing, and the Changping Hou Mansion immediately seemed like a person who stabbed a hornet's nest. I'm afraid it will be bad.
Sure enough, as soon as Wei Xizhou finished talking about a villain, Emperor Jin Yuan asked, "Does Wei Qing know who dared to embezzle Wei's family property? You tell me, and I will punish him!"
"Your Majesty's words are serious?" Wei Xizhou's eyes flashed disbelief, and his face pretended to be tangled, "That person may have something to do with the concubines in His Majesty's palace, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Emperor Jin Yuan became impatient, "That person is my own son, and I will definitely stand up for Aiqing, not to mention that it is only related to my concubines in the harem. Aiqing quickly said Who is that person, don't get entangled any longer."
Wei Xizhou sneered when he heard the words, but on the face he was grateful to the Emperor Jin Yuan. After a moment, he said slowly: "This villain is the Marquis of Changping, please Your Majesty to be the master for the minister!"
As soon as this remark came out, Marquis Changping almost fell to the ground in fright. He bowed forward with trembling legs, looked at Wei Xizhou with eyes full of guilt and said, "Uncle, you have wronged brother-in-law!"
"Uncle, brother-in-law?" When Emperor Jin Yuan heard that it was Marquis Changping, his first reaction was to punish Marquis Changping directly, but when he first heard Marquis Changping calling Wei Xizhou uncle, he was surprised. "I vaguely remember that Mrs. Changping Hou is not the sister of Concubine Hui. How did she get involved with Wei Qing?"
Wei Xizhou sneered and said, "Your minister has nothing to do with the current Mrs. Changping Hou."
"Uncle!" Marquis Changping hurriedly looked at him, "Is my uncle trying to get rid of my brother-in-law? Did you forget your sister too? Xizhou, the rumors you heard are just market rumors, brother-in-law I have been helping you take care of the property of the Wei family for many years, although...Although the Wei mansion just looks a bit dilapidated, but the brother-in-law is just to prevent thieves from coming to steal, it is a last resort!"
"What a last resort!" Wei Xizhou squinted his eyes slightly and turned to him, the ferocity in his brows almost frightened Changping Hou, "Then you explain to me, how did my sister die?"
"Your sister broke down after giving birth, and my brother-in-law and I are also very sad when she leaves." Changping Hou said with a guilty conscience.
Wei Xizhou looked at Marquis Changping coldly. If he hadn't been in the main hall, he would have torn him apart: "My sister passed away, Lord Hou was too sad, so he married his second wife in less than three months? My sister His body was weak when he was born, so Lord Hou was so sad that he couldn't wait to find more than a dozen concubines for himself? And because my sister passed away, Lord Hou couldn't place his thoughts on her, so he entered my Weifu at this time. Sweeping all the family wealth into his own private treasury? Oh! Master Hou's feelings for my sister, now it seems that it is really moving!"
Changping Hou listened to Wei Xizhou's own lies, and knelt on the ground so guilty that he didn't dare to look at Wei Xizhou's face: "No! Brother, let me explain to you..."
"Master Hou, don't talk anymore." Wang Yu, who was watching the play, couldn't help but gloated at Xie Lin, and then slowly interjected, "You were just greedy for a while, so you confessed your crime quickly, and quickly counted the crimes. Count the properties of General Wei's family, so that the emperor can lightly punish you."
"His Royal Highness Prince Yu!" Marquis Changping didn't want King Yu to step in at this time, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Xie Lin who was next to him with a calm expression. He remembered that Xie Lin was the future son-in-law of the Marquis of Changping's mansion, and he should always replace him at this time. Have you said something yourself?
Xie Lin found that Marquis Changping was looking at him, and his expression remained unchanged: "What does Marquis look at me for?"
"His Royal Highness King Jing, please speak for me. I really put those belongings into the Hou's mansion with the intention of taking care of the Wei mansion for General Wei back then!" After Changping Hou finished speaking, he looked at the man who had taken in himself in the early years. Qin Wang, who has benefited a lot, thanked Cheng, "His Royal Highness, please quickly help me to explain, I am really not as General Wei said..."
After all, the King of Qin was taking advantage of others, so he curled his lips and said to Emperor Jin and Yuan: "Royal Father, this is just a family affair between the Wei family and the Marquis of Changping. General Wei just heard such a rumor when he returned to Beijing. It's strange, maybe someone among them deliberately tried to make the two families quarrel? My son thinks that this matter is not big or small, and you ordered Changping Marquis to return all the wealth of the Wei family. That's all."
"If you don't ask yourself, you are stealing. According to the laws of my Jin Dynasty, stealing more than 30 taels of gold should be punished as a crime." Xie Lin raised his eyelids, his expression was calm, "Fourth brother said it lightly."
Qin Wang Xie Cheng was choked by him: "Third brother, why..." Not only did you not help the people of your concubine's family to speak, but you also hated him instead?
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Marquis Changping suddenly grabbed Wei Xizhou by the cuff and said to him, "Brother, brother-in-law is not that kind of person! You don't know, the reason why brother-in-law would do that is because I heard that you have... already fought Dead on the battlefield! You are the only blood of the Wei family, if you are dead, if the things of the Wei family were not kept by your brother-in-law for you, wouldn’t it be cheaper for those servants?"
When Wei Xizhou heard Marquis Changping say that he was "dead", Wei Xizhou's brows did not move, and he was about to speak, but the Emperor Jin Yuan over there took the lead to stop the debate among the people.
"...Shut up!" Emperor Jin Yuan rubbed his tired temples, frowning, looked at Wei Xizhou who had a face of grievance, and threw it on the struggling Marquis Changping.As if thinking about something, after a while, Emperor Jin Yuan suddenly pronounced the sentence to Marquis Changping in a deep voice, "You did something wrong in this matter, so don't try to make excuses. King Jing is right, if you don't ask, you are stealing. You took the wealth of the Wei family by yourself but didn't care about it. Among the aristocratic family, you are considered to be lacking in virtue and should have been severely punished. But I think that you have made great contributions to your ancestors, so today I will temporarily demote you as Uncle Changping, and you will be punished for three years. You are hereby ordered to go back to the mansion immediately to take stock of your belongings, and within three days you must return all of the Wei family's belongings."
Marquis Changping... No, Uncle Changping heard the words, tremblingly said: "I...take orders."
Wei Xizhou was listening, not wanting that Emperor Jin Yuan would pick it up and put it down so lightly, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by a secret gesture of Emperor Jin Yuan.
"Let's leave this matter here, Zhao Lin, continue to read the seal."
Old eunuch Zhao Lin: "Here."
After all, anyone who wakes up and suddenly finds two people covered in blood who don't know whether they are alive or dead will be scared out of their wits.In particular, those two people were both Qinghou personally selected by him in the Tianxiang Building, and after being trained and sent to Prince Jing's Mansion for a few days, they were sent back in such a miserable state.
