Gu Yun received a secret letter from Zhu Zhi, and immediately sent Bao Xi to invite Xu You. Xu You were having dinner and had no time to change his clothes, he hurried to the county government in his loose and loose robe. Gu Yun handed over the secret letter, and Xu You took it apart and saw that the expression on his face was quite playful, and said, "Wei Du has drawn..."

"Well, he has provided all the secret strongholds scattered in the five counties. Uncle Zhu Si has sent five troops to encircle and suppress them. He has also come to Qiantang to deliver letters to me and went to Dongyang County to find my father."

"What, do you need Gu Jun to come forward?"

Gu Yun's father Gu Huaiming is currently the prefect of Dongyang. Bao Xi took over the conversation: "One of the strongholds is in Dongyang County, so the prefect needs to lead troops to arrest him. However, this matter is of great importance. Mr. Zhu is afraid that the prefect will hesitate, so he asked the Mingfu to personally prepare a letter to explain the situation to the prefect!"

The father and son are always closer than the family. Xu You pondered: "Five counties...it takes at least seven days to return. The Zhu family needs to use a troops of no less than a thousand people. With such a large-scale mobilization, the entire Yangzhou will probably be shocked..."

Gu Yun looked at Xu You with a hint of respect and said, "Fortunately, he prepared for the future and pulled the Sili Mansion in. Otherwise, if someone else secretly reported it to Jinling, the lord would not be worried about it, which would bring unpredictable variables to this case."

"Sili Mansion is the lord and the eyes and ears of the master. It will only make themselves fall into a place of suspicion without hiding it. Rather than this, it is better to be calm and unfaithful."

Xu You smiled and said, "Anyway, the truth is on our side, and the evidence is also on our hands. Zhu was ashamed of being too embarrassed. He reacted more violently, and the prime ministers in the court should be able to understand!"

The prime ministers can understand, but the Wei family members cannot understand it. Wei Wenxuan rushed all night and arrived in Wu County immediately to meet the chief of the Yangzhou Governor's Office, Hu Jin and Liu Quan, who went to the office, and the prefecture moved westward. The new governor has not yet formally taken the matter. Hu Jin and Hu are actually the highest commander of Yangzhou. He politely received Wei Wenxuan and said, "Taichang is here today, I don't know what's going on?"

Wei Wenxuan was once the Minister of Taichang Temple. Later, he took over the Wei clan. He was not in good health and retired early, so he was called Wei Taichang. He bowed his hand and said, "Changshi, a few days ago, Wei Du, a son in his family, was robbed by someone. Now there is no trace. I specially asked the Changshi to post a document to the entire Yangzhou area and patrol around to relieve his danger of being overhanged."

"This..." Hu Jin was a little reluctant. He had no deep friendship with the families of Yangzhou. However, he had always respected Wei Wenxuan's character. Seeing him as anxious as a headless fly, he was not easy to say it clearly, saying: "The poem says 'A gentleman will last for thousands of years, and you will be blessed.' Taichang will be blessed, so you can protect your descendants from harm. There is no need to worry too much!"

Although Wei Wenxuan was a gentleman, he had experienced the ups and downs of officialdom for a long time. He immediately heard something in Hu Jin's words. He didn't say much at the moment. He said goodbye to the governor's mansion, walked five miles east of Wu County, and arrived at the mansion built by the Lu family among the mountains and rivers.

Wei and Lu had in-laws, but Wei Wenxuan had disagreements with Lu Zong Zhou, the contemporary leader of Lu's family. He had argued many times in the court and almost never had any contact with each other. However, there were many friends among his descendants, so he had a marriage.

This time, feeling that the storm was about to come, and Hu Jin had no words. Wei Wenxuan didn't care about his face and came to visit Lu Zongzhou. Lu Zongzhou was not surprised by the arrival of this rare guest, and said, "I guess you, the old guy, should come to Wuxian, and fortunately, I didn't get home confused!"

Wei Wenxuan was not in the mood to talk to him and asked directly: "What happened?"

"Wei Du was captured by Zhu's people!"

"Ah? Zhu?"

Wei Wenxuan was shocked. He expected that this matter was extraordinary, but he did not expect that it would involve Zhu. After years of hard work on nourishing Qi, he said in surprise: "Although the four surnames of Kuaiji and the four surnames of Wuzhong, there has never been a fundamental conflict of interest. Why did Zhu do this?"

A few sarcasm showed in Lu Zongzhou's eyes and said, "How do you be the sect leader? Wei Du made friends with bandits, robbed good men, and then sold them to the north as prostitutes and slaves. Such beastly behavior, which was full of conscience and fatherless and monarch, is really the son of your Wei family raised?"

Wei Wenxuan changed color suddenly. Although he and Lu Zongzhou were not in harmony, he knew that this old man would not lie. He always said one thing and two things, and never added fuel to the fire.

"Sad son, bad son!"

Wei Wenxuan beats his chest with his hands, and is in great pain. He manages his family with Confucian etiquette and is loyal to the Qing Zao. Who would have thought that such a sensational and dirty thing happened in the family? Decades of reputation were destroyed, how could he not be heartbroken?

"It would be fine if it was just that." Lu Zongzhou clearly wanted to make Wei Wenxuan uneasy and said, "Wei Du robbed Zhu Li's daughter Zhu Lingbo in Puyangjin, imprisoned in the dark room of a small fishing village by the river, and almost died of a disaster! Zhu suffered this great humiliation and was determined to take revenge. Even Zhu Zhi, who was obsessed with fishing in Fuchun River and did not care about the world, went out and planned all this himself, and plundered Wei Du from Shangyu, that is, under your nose."

Wei Wenxuan finally understood the causes and consequences. After all, he was the leader of the Wei clan. He was not sure about the situation at first, so he was nervous. Now that he knew the details, he gradually calmed down and began to seek countermeasures.

Seeing him thinking hard, Lu Zongzhou said coldly: "Don't think about it. A gentleman abandons his flaws to draw his talents, and a strong man cuts his wrists to give full play to his integrity. Since Wei Du is not a weapon, it is useless to protect him."

Wei Wenxuan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know that Wenyuan is just such a son. He is in poor health. If something really happens, will his lineage be gone?"

"A sinful son is better than having one!"

Lu Zongzhou looked at Wei Wenxuan's exhausted look and sighed. He was a decades-old man who was still working hard for his descendants. His tone was softer and said, "Wei Wenyuan himself is not right, what good son can he teach? If he is constantly interrupted, how can Zhu be willing to give up? Gu and Zhang have already expressed their opinions on the side of Zhu. The four surnames in Wuzhong are originally a family. I, Lu, are reasonable and cannot stay out of the matter, nor can I help you..." He paused, his eyebrows were twisted together, and said, "What's more, Meng Xingchun also participated. Yesterday afternoon, the disciple of the Sili Mansion escorted Wei Du to the governor's mansion..."

Wei Wenxuan had no surprise expression and said dejectedly for a long time: "Zhu Zhi, Zhu Zhi! Good method!"

"Zhuge Jiangzuo is not a false reputation. If he doesn't take action, he will give you no room for resistance! Do you know how I understand the origin of inner love? Zhu Zhi came to see me last night and said that you will definitely come to the door today. He asked me to tell you these words. As for what the purpose is, you should think about it yourself!"

Since he knew that it was Zhu Zhi who was planning behind the scenes, Wei Wenxuan no longer had the confidence to start from Shangyu. He also had to look at his opponent after the attack. People like Zhu Zhi, as long as they were slower, they would be controlled step by step and would not even have a chance to breathe. How to attack after the attack?

Wei Wenxuan couldn't make a decision. Although Wei Du was Wei Wenyuan's only son, it was not that important to the entire Wei family. Even if he died, he could adopt another son to inherit his bloodline. However, the Wei family had today's situation, which was obtained by countless ancestors fighting hard. In this way, they were bullied, accepted the beating and punishment, and did not fight back, which would be underestimated by the world.

Zhu Zhi asked Lu Zongzhou to lead the message, to give him a way out, and wanted him to tie Wei Du to report the case personally. This way, it looks good to be honest and kill relatives for justice. It sounds nice to say it, but it is still completely lost inside.

Seeing Wei Wenxuan undecided, Lu Zongzhou said helplessly: "You know Wei Du's talent best. Can he operate private plundering business across the north and south countries and overthrow several counties in Yangzhou?"

"Yes, thanks to your reminder, I was panicked for a moment, and I didn't expect this festival!" Wei Wenxuan frowned and said, "Wei Du couldn't study or learn martial arts. He was a little cunning, but it was extremely limited. It was impossible for him to be the mastermind!"

He looked at Lu Zongzhou, who lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, and the old god was there and he didn't speak!

Wei Wenxuan knew that he was waiting for his statement and said, "Okay, if the evidence is conclusive, I will never cover up. If you should beat me, you should beat me and kill me. It depends on the law of the country!"

"Okay, I'll feel relieved with you!" Lu Zongzhou yawned, stood up lazily, and said, "I'll accompany you with this old bone."

“Where to go?”

"The prison of the governor's house!"

The servants who had been waiting aside sent a blue cloak to help Lu Zongzhou wear it carefully. The prepared ox cart surrounded the thick sheepskin felt, and the copper crane was burned inside, and the turtle-back furnace was burned, and there was no trace of chill.

Lu Zongzhou leaned on the back pillow, his body swayed slightly with the bumps of the ox cart, his hands were put on his sleeves, and he said, "When I saw Wei Du, I asked him to report truthfully. No matter who he was involved or He, he would tell them all. With his ability, he was at most a follower. If he confessed to merit, he might be able to die!"

"The person behind the scenes... can there be an answer in my brother's belly?"

"You don't have to know who is behind the scenes now. When you arrive at the governor's office, Meng Xingchun may ask you for a secret discussion. Remember, remember to do everything according to his wishes, don't argue, and don't refuse harshly!"

"The yellow-eared dog in Sili Mansion whispers and whispers, and does not make a voice, why should he pay attention to him?"

Wei Wenxuan is a gentleman and cannot see the hawks in Sili Mansion. Lu Zongzhou sighed: "It's easy to get rid of your temper... The Sili Mansion is a hawks, but he adheres to the Lord's heart. If you want Wei to be safe this time, don't offend him, let alone fight him!"

"All right!"

The situation is stronger than others, and Wei Wenxuan has no choice. When he arrived at the governor's mansion, Hu Jin poured tea again to treat the guests. Wei Wenxuan was furious and said, "Where is that beast Wei Du? Please take me to see him now! I have to kill this beast that shamed my ancestors with my own hands!"

"Stop the anger, Taichang and calm the anger!" Hu Jin was afraid that he would be angry at least, so he quickly comforted him for a while and said, "Wei Du did not cultivate himself and did not act carefully, causing trouble. It is not the fault of Taichang and Wei. Today, there is Lu Sikong, Zhu Shilang and Meng Jiaozuo. The right and wrong will definitely give Taichang an explanation."

As he said that, Zhu Zhi walked out of the inner hall, bowed to the ground, with a respectful expression, and said, "You are rude and dare not ask Taichang for forgiveness. In the future, you will get engaged to Shangyu and apologize for guilt."

No matter how much Wei Wenxuan felt about Zhu Zhi, in front of Hu Jin and Lu Zongzhou, he had to show his magnanimity, and held his arm and said, "Please get up quickly. The Wei family's family is unstable, so such a bad son has come out. You should be the old man apologizing to the minister!"

"I dare not, I dare not!" Zhu Zhi stopped when he saw the opportunity and said, "Meng Jiaozuo is waiting for Taichang behind him, and there is a secret discussion!"

If we have to put it in the past, let alone Meng Xingchun can't sit still, she dares to ask Wei Wenxuan to see him. Even if Meng Xingchun comes to submit a visitation letter in person, Wei Wenxuan may not be willing to take the time to see him. In the final analysis, if he is honest, you can ignore the people of the Sili Mansion, but if there are flaws in himself, the Sili Mansion is the most terrifying place.

The county magistrate of the family and the governor of the family, but the Sili Mansion can destroy the family and destroy the family and affect the legacy of the descendants and future generations!

Wei Wenxuan understood that this was Meng Xingchun's attempt to humiliate him on purpose, but because of this, he had to be even more patient. If a small fake assistant from the Sili Mansion could publicly humiliate him, it means that the situation was already very serious and there was nothing that could not be tolerated for the sake of the family!

Wei Wenxuan went to see Meng Xingchun. In the lobby, Hu Jin sat in the main seat with a harmless smile on his face. Lu Zongzhou sat in the east head, closed his eyes to rest as stable as Mount Tai. Zhu Zhi sat south, drinking tea himself, and his expression was as calm as usual.

The three of them were speechless.

After a cup of tea was over, another cup was filled, and it was over in a few moments. After repeated three times, Wei Wenxuan finally walked out of the inner hall, his face was not very good. Lu Zongzhou looked up at him, and then continued to close his eyes and wander. Hu Jin and Zhu Zhi stood up to greet him. Wei Wenxuan said word by word: "Take me to see Wei Du!"

Wei Du was locked in the prison of the governor's mansion. He was well treated. He was in a single cell, and there were no idle prisoners around. Twenty prisoners were guarding him strictly. Wei Wenxuan passed three prison doors before walking to Wei Du. He was wearing ordinary clothes, although not luxurious, but more dignity and decent than those prisoners in prison uniforms.

Seeing Wei Wenxuan, Wei Du immediately collapsed and cried, saying, "Uncle, save me, save me quickly! They want to kill me, I don't want to die!"

"Shut up!"

Wei Wenxuan was so sorry that he was not strong, but he could not scold him here, saying, "If you want to survive, just confess truthfully how He Jie lured you into the gang, how he took you to plunder the good man, and how he operated such a big case of affair with the north and the south. If there is a false statement, I will leave now and hand you over to the governor's office to severely punish you!"

"I say, I say!" Wei Du was covered in black cloth these days and was transported hundreds of miles in the dark lattice of the carriage. He had been urinating in a small space. The smell of fishy smell was enough to make people suffocate, fear, anxiety, anxiety, confusion, and the double torment of physical and mentality put him on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the hope in his heart, his family would have been actively working hard to rescue him, and he would have been unable to hold on.
