Zhurou

Chapter 180 Application
Wei Lin didn't talk nonsense to him, and immediately rang the bell to call someone.

Not long after, several guards entered one after another.

"Take it up, prepare the horses and carts, and send them to Caizhou tonight." Wei Lin pointed at Wei Fangqun and shouted.

The guards had already given an explanation, and they rushed forward at this moment.

Wei Fangqun didn't take any precautions at all, the other end was pressed to the ground, he didn't even have time to struggle, he only knew how to call for help, also called Wei Liaofu.

The latter was also extremely flustered, and was about to step forward to intercede, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Wei Fangqun's mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball, his hands clasped behind his back, and he was pushed out the door.

Seeing Wei Fangqun being escorted out, when did Wei Liaofu gain such insight, he hurriedly called "Second Uncle" and asked repeatedly: "After all, Fang Qun made mistakes in the family of the two Weis, but after all, they didn't cause any real disaster. Why is this!"

Then he said: "I don't think there is any word from the palace..."

He wanted to persuade him again, but when he looked up, he was taken aback by the look on his uncle's face.

Wei Lin's face was ashen, and he said coldly: "If it wasn't for your parents, if you weren't my nephew, Wei Fangqun would not be the only one who was sent to Caizhou overnight."

He said in a deep voice: "I am in this position. I am afraid of being a mouse, and I am easy to get into trouble. What kind of words did Wei Fangqun use to get you to agree to help him, but you still put your ideas in the hands of family members?"

Wei Liaofu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "My nephew only agreed, but in fact, he didn't really try to find it, and he didn't dare to use the hands of the clan. He just asked two schoolboys to ask perfunctorily outside for two days."

Wei Lin said: "Everyone in Guozixue stays at their desks day and night, burying their heads in the room, favoring my Wei family, regardless of Wei Fangqun, you are a direct descendant of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Is this how the books you read and the meaning you learn are taught?"

Wei Liaofu bowed his head slumped, not daring to speak.

Wei Lin said: "Today, Pei Jiedu sent someone to look for me, beat me personally, told me to take care of the children of the clan, and specifically mentioned your name."

Wei Liaofu raised his head in shock, and said in a trembling voice, "Second uncle, my nephew really didn't do anything!"

Wei Lin sneered and said, "Wei Fangqun prides himself on being romantic, and he hangs around Fireworks and Willow Lane every day. He has long been famous. You promised to find someone for him, but you yelled at him, and now you are still trying to explain yourself, saying that you have done nothing. Who would?" letter?"

"Pei Yong has a strong army in his hands, and acts swiftly and resolutely. He is a newcomer. Now that he is here to stand up for the princess, even if it's just for the sake of face, he will not let this time go easily."

"I'm not going to hide it from you. When I edit a book and send it back to Caizhou together with Wei Fangqun, the whole family will have to evaluate him again. It will be difficult to turn around and start again in the future."

"You are my nephew. I watched you grow up all the way. I don't care about others. I also know your temperament. I can't be cruel."

Wei Lin sighed, put his hands on the table, looked at Wei Liaofu, pointed to the chair opposite, and said, "Sit down."

Wei Liaofu sat down awkwardly.

"Now you have two choices. One is to pack up your things and wait for that guy to go first, and then leave in a day or two later. You don't have to go to Caizhou. You can go south to Shaoxing or Quanzhou. You can wait to avoid the limelight and look at Beijing. Follow-up arrangements will be made in the middle of the situation." Wei Lin said.

Wei Liaofu swallowed forcefully, and said, "If I go south like Wei Fangqun, what will my clan think of me? How will my teachers and classmates think of me?"

He sat forward and hung half of his butt in the air: "Second Uncle, I really don't want to go, so what is the second way?"

"Stop thinking that you can still stay in the capital." Wei Lin interrupted him mercilessly, "You can leave if you want to, or if you don't want to, it's just a matter of where you go."

"If you don't want to be pointed out, there is another path—now the city defense army is recruiting strong men..."

I don't know if it was because the ass was hanging in the air for too long, but upon hearing this sentence, Wei Liaofu's legs felt a little stiff.

He didn't dare to move his hands and feet, but his heart was in his throat, and he said after a long while: "I know what Second Uncle means, but if I apply for the city defense army, wouldn't I be under Pei Jiedu's nose day and night, maybe I forgot, but did it instead Remind repeatedly."

Wei Lin said: "If you stay in the capital, you will naturally be reminded, but it is not necessary to stay here after applying."

Wei Liaofu's hands and feet were numb, almost unable to sit still, blurted out: "Second Uncle means, do you want my nephew to help Xuzhou..."

He forced a smile and said: "Xuzhou is in front of the battle, ordinary people may not be able to go if they want to go, right?"

That's what he said, but how could Wei Liaofu not know that as his uncle, it would not be difficult to send him to Xuzhou in the north.

Wei Lin didn't force him to express his opinion immediately, and said: "I only give you the way, as for how to go, it depends on how you choose."

He stood up and said: "If you really go to Xuzhou, I will try to keep you behind the formation, after all, swords and guns have no eyes."

He took a few steps forward, patted his nephew on the shoulder and said, "You can do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, he quickly walked out of the study.

After Wei Lin left, Wei Liaofu was left alone in the study for half a day, unable to make up his mind.

At this time, the sun outside was slanting to the west, and the sunset was gradually rising, and the half-opened wooden window shone in, reflecting a bright yellow.

Wei Liaofu was also afraid of going south and ruining his reputation, making it difficult in the future and being despised by others, but he was even more afraid of going north to Xuzhou and losing his opponent in the end.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking of Wei Fangqun just now, couldn't help but step out the door.

Wei Liaofu is Wei Lin's nephew, he can go in and out of the Wei residence as he pleases, and he is very free, no one hinders him.

He went to the backyard first, saw that the carriages were all there, and everyone was hurrying to set up their carts to prepare their luggage, so he turned and went back to the side room, found a young man to ask a few words, and soon found the room where Wei Fangqun was, before he opened the door and tried. I tried, but I couldn't push it open. I lowered my head and looked again. It turned out that there was a big lock on the door.

When the people inside heard the news, they rushed to the door and shouted, "Who is outside? Tell me something, I want to see Uncle Wei!"

Hearing that voice, it was indeed Wei Fangqun.

Wei Liaofu said through the door, "It's me."

He turned around to push the window, but saw that the window was also locked, so he had to draw the dagger to cut the mushy gauze, and knocked on the window lattice with the handle of the knife.

After all, they were relatives, and they were the younger generation. Wei Fangqun was only under house arrest in the room, not bound. At this time, he heard the sound and went to the window. When he saw the window, he burst into tears, and almost wailed "Liao Fu", He slapped the window again and said, "Save my life quickly! If I am sent back to Caizhou right now, and my family knows why, they must beat me to death!"

Wei Liaofu smiled wryly, "I can't take care of myself, how can I save you?"

Seeing that there was no one around, he simply stuffed the dagger in his hand through the gap of the cut window, and said: "The road is bumpy, and I don't know what to encounter. If there is something wrong, you can use this dagger to defend yourself."

Then he took the sachet from his waist, took out the gold and silver melon seeds, and threw them into the house as before.

Wei Fangqun saw the dagger first, then the gold and silver. He thought that if the luck had already passed away, he pleaded: "Can't you ask your second uncle for a favor? Wait until you escape the limelight..."

Wei Liaofu didn't hide from him, he only told about the two roads that Wei Lin explained just now, and said: "I only have these two roads, if I were given a choice, would you rather go south or go north?"

Wei Fangqun choked with sobs for a moment, grabbed the dagger and hid it in his bosom, then went to grab the gold and silver, but he didn't say anything again.

Wei Liaofu warned a few more words, he heard voices outside, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and left in a hurry.

He had just left when someone unlocked the door and entered the house.

Wei Lin didn't come over in person, only a manager of the Wei family came.

The other party said respectfully: "Master, you are a young master from the Western Wei Dynasty. You have a distinguished status and are proficient in etiquette. If you ask me to treat you with courtesy, don't be rude."

Wei Fangqun didn't say a word, and knew that it would be useless to say anything at this time, so he honestly got into the carriage according to the steward's arrangement.

Except for the coachman, there was already a young boy guarding the carriage, he looked very smart, and besides the young boy, there were two other guards following on horseback.

Wei Fangqun knew that this was to prevent him from escaping halfway, so he didn't say anything.

After getting the steward's instructions, the carriage drove out of the Wei Mansion in a short time, passed through the streets and alleys, and left the city.

Wei Fangqun was sitting alone in the carriage, as the carriage bumped and swayed, he couldn't help but think about the consequences of going to Caizhou.

He has been exchanging letters with his brothers. Naturally, when the court goes south, the princess will help him more.

Although he has always believed that he did not make a mistake this time, and he also believed that for the sake of face, the palace will not let this matter go out, but he is not afraid of ten thousand in everything, just in case, and he and Wei Liaofu are guilty together, the former is Wei Lin's nephew He is not close to each other, and he also knows that this person will definitely use himself as a top priority to excuse Wei Liaofu.

It is impossible to say that all the crimes should be pushed on his own head.

And once the news was sent back to Caizhou, even if the parents wanted to help each other, they couldn't go against the wishes of the clan.

Wei Fangqun has always been the one who has benefited the most from the younger generation, how could he endure falling from a high place into the sky.

His mind was in a mess, he had no idea at all, and only one thought remained, which was that he couldn't go south no matter what.

The carriage drove all the way, and it drove out of the inner city without knowing it, and the speed gradually picked up.

Wei Fangqun said to the boy beside him: "It's very stuffy in the car, open half of the windows to let in air."

He was quiet, didn't make trouble, and didn't make a sound. Although the boy was still a little on guard, he hesitated for a while, and went to pick up half of the curtains.

The evening wind came through the window, and Hulala broke in.

The Wei family guards followed on the left and right of the carriage, and they were tall and burly.

Wei Fangqun only glanced out the window, then leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, the young man didn't feel anything, even though he was still guarding the window carefully, he felt quite sleepy while sitting, and he dozed off earlier.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Wei Fangqun quietly took out the dagger from his arms and held it in his hand.

There were not many pedestrians on the roads in the outer city. Seeing that the sky was getting late and the sunset was fading, the carriage also arrived at Wansheng Gate, and finally paused for a while, and began to line up to leave the city.

The boy was squinted by the shaking, and at this moment he realized that the carriage stopped, and finally woke up, opened his eyes and saw that the curtains on the left and right sides were wide open.

He always felt that it was inappropriate, so he said, "Master, it's windy outside, why not open half of the window?"

Seeing that Wei Fangqun was noncommittal, he was about to step forward, but before he could get up, the back of his neck suddenly felt cold, as if something had stuck to his neck.

He was terrified, and turned his head quickly, only to see that the Wei family boy who was looking at the gentleman was also blushing, holding the carriage with one hand and holding a dagger in the other. Looking at the side of his neck.

The boy was about to yell, but Wei Fangqun covered his mouth with his hands, covered the window with half of his body, and said in a low voice: "Shut up, shout louder, if I shake my hand, there will be holes in your throat! "

The boy didn't dare to speak, so he could only cry and snot, and he didn't dare to nod his head, let alone shake his head.

Wei Fangqun didn't pay attention at all, seeing the carriage pulled over, he tied the boy's hands, stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth, and blocked the window on the left with his back, while he himself came from the right. Window to the window with a jump.

He has practiced six arts since he was a child, and his riding skills are not bad. He is also healthy and young. Desk case place to run.

After running a few zhang away, the coachman noticed something was wrong first, pointed his head back, and shouted.

The two guards got off their horses early, and they hurried on their horses to give chase.

Wei Fangqun was out of breath, but finally he chased the soldiers one step too early, and reached the row of tables first.

He took the Chinese document in one hand, stretched out his hand and threw it on the table, and shouted loudly: "Young master wants to enlist in the army!"

After finishing speaking, he wiped the hot sweat off his brow, but turned his head to look at the chasing guards, and smiled contemptuously at the two of them.

——Wei Liaofu is not the only one who can apply?
Wei Lin found a way out for his nephew, wouldn't he go that way himself?

As for the so-called going north to Xuzhou, as long as you can cope with the urgency at this moment, there will naturally be other ways to deal with it in the future.

He didn't believe that Wei Lin could watch his own nephew die!

……

What happened at the city gate was reported back to Wei's residence not long after.

The steward who answered didn't mean to apologize at all. After Wei Lin listened, there was no look of concern on her face. She just waved her hand and was about to signal the other party to back down. Suddenly, she paused and said, "Go and give Liao Fu the Make things clear."

The person in charge should immediately, as soon as he exited the room, he handed over the letter he was holding to the side servant, and solemnly instructed: "Take the master's letter of invitation, and send this to Xiying, please forward it to Pei Jiedu. Be careful, don't be lazy."

He said to another person: "Go with you and don't get out of the basket."

The servant took it with both hands, and the man behind him also took orders immediately.

The two left in a hurry.

***
Zhao Mingzhi didn't know that all these messy things happened behind him.

She worked hard all day, and she didn't complete the arranged itinerary until the evening, she was really exhausted physically and mentally.

When the time was clear, Pei Yong's voice became limp and he said, "It's time."

He said again: "I originally thought that if everything was done quickly today, I could go out with my second brother and have a good meal."

Pei Yong supported the carriage with one hand, and stretched out the other hand for her to set it up, and said in a low voice: "Don't delay the meal, get on the carriage first, I will help someone prepare the dishes at home, and there is still time to eat a few bites before returning to the palace. "

After eating in a hurry at noon, Zhao Mingzhi had already had an empty stomach, so he got into the carriage immediately without any fuss.

This time the carriage drove straight along Yu Street and stopped near a house on Panlou Street.
