Chapter 48: Competition.
Old Lady Wei's room was full of female dependents, who had never seen such a formation, and suddenly made a mess. When the maids saw the head of the family kneeling, they knelt down one after another, sobbing and screaming.
They were in Huaiyuan, the capital of the northwest, and they were naturally familiar with the reputation of Shuai Xia.
Although Wei Yu is mediocre, he comes from a family, and etiquette is integrated into his bloodline. He was shocked by Xia Feng's cold body, and he was confused for a while, and in an instant, he returned his mind and knelt down and bowed his hand: "The words of the great marshal can be described as a scold, the Wei family has passed down poetry for a hundred years, and taught his descendants with benevolence, righteousness, and wisdom." Wei is not talented, and he will never dare to collude with the enemy and commit treason. Fang
Cai Xia Feng and Old Lady Wei had a deep affection, and for a moment no one could realize that the beautiful woman in the room was the rumored female general.
At this moment, she was murderous, her face was fierce, and her skirt could not stop her cold body.
"Huh. Xia Feng sneered lightly, scanning the room full of terrified female dependents, and then at Aunt Wei, who was always standing in the corner, without saying a word.
"Feng'er girl, Feng'er. Seeing this, Old Mrs. Wei could no longer lie down, but unfortunately all the people in the room knelt on the ground, and she had to sit up with difficulty, "You..." Xia
Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Grandmother, you said."
"You have official business to deal with, so first send this room of women and Daoists." The old lady sat up with strength, and moved her legs to collapse, "So that I can make room for you, otherwise... Women and Taoists are not important, if you go out and break your mouth and say something that you shouldn't say, it will not be good to delay your business.
"You lie down well, don't dare to trouble the ancestors. Xia Feng intuited that his own mother wanted to beat himself to death tonight, held the old lady, and turned to everyone: "Everyone get up." Uncle too, just joking with you, why do you still take it seriously?
Wei Yu was frightened by her, and did not dare to darken his face, stood up and said respectfully: "Is there something important for the marshal to pass through the mansion?" Take a step and speak.
"It's not easy to see my uncle, and the junior can only come up with this strategy."
Now that the goal has been achieved, Xia Feng is neither delicate nor soft, holding his hands behind him, scanning everyone in the room, and said coldly: "Since you aunts and sisters can serve in front of the ancestors, they must be smart people, and they should know what to say and what not to say."
After she
said that, she looked at the shivering maid in the room, and politely extended an arm to Wei Yu: "Uncle, please."
Wei Yu's fingers in the sleeves of his wide robe clenched fiercely, but there was a bit of a smile on his face: "Don't dare, please first."
Xia Feng glanced at him obliquely, no longer polite, turned and walked out of the back room.
Although Wei Yu was the head of the Wei family, he had no official position. He carried the solitary arrogance of a family and looked down on court positions or local officials.
But in recent years, in troubled times, whoever has a hard fist is the boss, and the status of the family is no longer what it used to be, the so-called decency, the so-called arrogance, has become a fig leaf for mediocrity.
The hundred-footed worm is dead and not stiff, not to mention that the Wei family is still alive. Even if the juniors in the Wei family race one by one, no one in the Wei family can get their hands on it, but it can't hide the fact that the Wei family controls the salt and iron in the northwest.
When Xia Feng was on a routine basis, he could still see this uncle occasionally, and the two had no nephew feelings. Xia Feng never gave people politeness, and naturally he never gave this uncle a good look.
"Today came suddenly, uncle don't blame it. Xia Feng walked in front, saying that it was not strange, and there was no sincerity in his words, "This is also no way, every time I sent someone to send you a message before, you avoided it."
Wei Yu couldn't guess what she meant, so he had to deal with it carefully: "The subordinate has been older in the past two years, and his body and bones are getting worse and worse, so he really didn't deliberately avoid the marshal." "
Ben Shuai has received some informants recently," Xia Feng walked into the study and turned to watch him close the door. It wasn't until the door closed that he slowly spit out the next sentence: "All the evidence points directly to you, uncle, and you collaborated with the enemy to commit treason."
"Shuai, this can't be! Wei Yu snorted, resolutely knelt down in front of the portrait of Confucius on the wall, raised his right palm, and put his fingers together: "I, Wei Yu, swear here today, and I have nothing to do with the Qiang people, and if I violate this oath, the heavens will not bless." The
corners of Xia Feng's lips hooked, leaning against the bookshelf, and insisted on wearing a beautiful woman's outfit with a wanton dashing meaning. She didn't say anything, stared at Wei Yu carefully for a while, but instead saw a bit of familiarity from this face.
Wei Yu was born to the mother of the Duchess of Guogong who died early, and the appearance of the two brothers and sisters should be somewhat similar. It is a pity that Xia Feng's memory of his mother is extremely vague, and the gentle care of childhood has long become shallow in the memories with time.
Wei Yu knew that she was not easy to fool, and her arms were raised stiffly and did not get a response, until the cold sweat at the corner of her forehead soaked her white sideburns, and she couldn't help but say: "Great Shuai, Wei... The Wei family has many businesses and many clansmen, and it is impossible to say where to offend others without knowing it. This...... This is certainly slander. "
The evidence is conclusive, can there be mistakes?" Xia Feng's tone was contemptuous, a few steps around him, walked to the back of the book and sat down, his delicate face with a cold coldness that did not match his appearance, and said word by word: "Or do you think that my uncle suspects that I am deliberately embarrassing you?"
Wei Yu could no longer care about any facelessness, turned around and knelt straight to her, almost bursting into tears: "Three years ago, the dog absurdly provoked people's lives, and it was natural to pay for their lives. The subordinate Aiko was heartfelt and confused for a while, which made him have a lot of resentment against the marshal, and he avoided it in recent years. But never dare to treacherously and collude with the barbarians. "
The family clan emphasizes rules and etiquette, and there are more restrictions on women than scripture dogma, and they have always been the wave of people who are most unaccustomed to Xia Feng's rule in the northwest. In the past few years, Xia Feng has gradually grasped the power of the northwest, and the biggest obstacle he has encountered comes from the Huaiyuan clan. Among them, the Wei family, as the head of the family, is the first to bear the brunt.
Wei Yu was extremely unaccustomed to Xia Feng, who was unruly but flowed half of the family's bloodline, and secretly tripped her, and the two of them knew these things.
From the moment Xia Feng took charge of the army as a woman, she was forever opposed to the family and never died. Now Wei Yu attributed the root of this game to the death of his absurd son, trying to confuse right and wrong.
"Uncle, please, don't break my life." Xia Feng tilted his head to watch him perform, and his knuckles lightly clasped the table, "Don't worry, if I have the heart to make trouble, it will be the Northwest Army who will come to Wei Mansion today." But, uncle, how can I believe that you can't prove your innocence?
Wei Yu supported the ground with his hands, stood up and bowed again: "Please ask the marshal for guidance."
"Yanzhou was so full of bad money that the people gathered to fight and breed rebellion." In the long run, it will certainly endanger the overall situation in the northwest. Xia Feng raised his chin slightly and glanced at him, "A few days ago, Zhizhou Zhang Jin wrote a letter and suspected that the matter of evil money was obstructed by the Qiang people. Ben Shuai sent someone to investigate one or two, but unexpectedly, he found your uncle on your head.
"This... There has been bad money in the past, and it has not caused any big trouble, how can it suddenly flood? Wei Yu was still aware of current affairs and followed her words carefully.
"This is nothing, the northwest salt and iron all rely on the Wei family. What money to make and how much to make is up to your uncle. Xia Feng moved forward a few points and stared at him, "Right?
Wei Yu was looked at by her, only to feel that the cold iron blade was against the neck, and suddenly sweated coldly: "Daqing coins are all made according to the rules, and the Wei family is fortunate that the ancestor relies heavily on it, and has served the country for generations, and never dares to violate the established system."
"You used to be shoddy, deceive the ignorant people, bully them and have no way to ask for help, and don't dare to provoke the Wei family's high gate. But, uncle, you know what? The 40,000 Yanzhou garrison carried a whole year of knives against the wind and sand at the border last year, and finally received the military salaries in their hands, all of which were evil money.
Xia Feng stood up and approached him: "The evil money is not enough to be used at full price." The soldiers' blood was hot, but their hearts were cold.
"This, this... His subordinates really didn't know such things," Wei Yu said flustered, "Although copper coins and iron coins are printed from sources, the Northwest coinage family is not the only Wei family. Yan knows that it is not who planted the frame. " <B182>
"There is nothing printed on the surface of the money, and I can't see which one." But the Yanzhou Mansion has a registration, they come from the Wei family, and..." Xia Feng deliberately dragged out his voice, "I sent someone to follow the clues to investigate, and found the clues left by the Qiang people. Evidence from all parties. Directly pointed at your uncle, you collaborated with the enemy and treason.
Wei Yu was obviously incredulous and said, "This is impossible, impossible. Commander, his subordinates requested to participate in the investigation of this matter, and someone must have framed him.
After he
said it, seeing that Xia Feng did not say, he added: "The flood of evil money must involve major families, and the relationship between them is complicated, and you have never had much contact with the family, so it is inconvenient to deal with." Your subordinates are willing to do their best to help you eliminate bad money.
"Well, trouble Uncle. Xia Feng nodded coldly, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, nor whether he cared about this matter. She stood up in her skirt, didn't look at Wei Yu, and pushed the door out of the study.
When she arrived outside the courtyard, she was deliberately delicate again, and Lian Bu moved lightly, dressing up as a big lady. After moving two steps, she looked back at Wei Yu who came out with her: "Uncle, you have to visit Mr. Xia Fan, he is investigating this matter."
Wei Yu's eyes tightened, and he bowed his head: "Yes."
He was now staring at the aqua-blue back that was walking away until it blurred, and the eyes that looked similar to Xia Feng were quenched with malice.
Aunt Wei waited to come and go without seeing Xia Feng's shadow, she was so anxious that she suddenly saw the shadow coming out from under the corridor, her face was relaxed, and she quickly greeted her: "The eldest lady can be counted as coming, is there anything wrong?" This is the Wei family, you are too dangerous like this.
"I'm fine. Xia Feng saw her full of concern, and his heart warmed, "What about the girl, is Old Lady Wei difficult for you?"
"With you, who dares to embarrass me." Aunt Wei's usually yellow face was a little more vibrant, and she pulled her to talk as she walked, "Old lady Gang gave me a lot of jewelry, for so many years, I have been treated like this for the first time in the Wei family."
Xia Feng listened absentmindedly, mentally calculating Wei Yu's performance.
She knows too well that this group of hypocrites who flaunt themselves with the nobles of the family can't force them out without holding a knife to their necks. Although Wei Yu did not have much ability, the Wei family's century-old clan was famous, and he himself was good at drilling camps, and most of the Huaiyuan clans were headed by him.
To clean up the family, the first thing to do is to take this Wei family.
After she returned to the house with Aunt Wei, she had not changed her uncomfortable women's clothes, and she saw Qian Shan, who was reckless, suddenly burst out: "Miss, go and see, my husband has to pull His Royal Highness King Ning to compete, and the two of them are now performing martial arts." "
King Ning? Xia Feng frowned, "My father asked for it, and he agreed?"
Qian Shan's face was full of anxiety: "I don't know, you go quickly, in case something happens, it will be troublesome." "
