Uncle Wu brought his servants to serve tea to the guests and then left.
There was a strong wind outside, and the wind was so fierce that you could clearly hear the rustling sound caused by the wind while sitting inside.
"I also want to thank Mr. Dong for saving my young family members and traveling thousands of miles to escort them back."
Wei Ji smiled and said, "Master Dong has done my Wei family a favor, so please feel free to stay here. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."
"Duke Wei's words are too serious."
Dong Zhiyao replied calmly, "I have no request."
Wei Ji nodded slightly. This person saved four younger generations of the clan, so they must thank him for saving their lives. Since others didn't take the initiative to mention it, they would just arrange it themselves.
The fort is now well-stocked and fully prepared for winter.
The situation this year is many times better than last year, and we can definitely provide our benefactors with better material conditions.
But... for the sake of the family, just in case, we must always understand the other party's background clearly.
Wei Ji stared at him for a long time, and the more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed.
He suddenly said, "I think Mr. Dong looks familiar. Are you from Kyoto?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The three young ladies in the room raised their heads.
They all looked surprised and subconsciously raised their eyes to look across at the couch.
Wei Xiyin was in a state of confusion. Could it be that her grandfather knew this person?
Dong Zhiyao glared at Wei Xiyin when he heard this, then turned and bowed to the leader, "Thank you, Lord Wei, for remembering me. My name is Dong Zhiyao, and I did live in Kyoto for a while."
Wei Xiyin: “…”Dong Zhiyao?
Dong Zhiyao stood up and bowed. "Ten years ago, on Qili Street, the Guangxing Escort Agency case, do you remember it, Lord Wei?"
He glanced at Wei Xiyin vaguely and said, "Dong saved the Sixth Lady and the Young Master as a way of repaying their kindness, so he doesn't ask for anything in return."
Hearing the name, Wei Xiyin suddenly remembered.
It’s true!
She was only six years old that year. She had already gotten used to the life of that dynasty and gradually integrated into the Wei family's family environment. Sometimes she would act like a little child and act coquettishly with adults.
That day, her mother went to Zhenguo Temple to worship Buddha and left her at her uncle's house. Seeing that it was getting late and no one came to pick her up, she ordered the servants to prepare the carriage and went back by herself.
The two families lived not far from each other, so my uncle and aunt had nothing to worry about. Besides, they had soldiers and maids following them.
After leaving the house.
As the carriage drove onto the street, a young man suddenly rushed out and stopped her carriage in the street.
There was the Wei family logo on the carriage. Her grandfather was the head of all officials, and her father was the Minister of Agriculture of the imperial court. In this capital, very few people dared to ram the Wei family's carriage.
The young man was seeking justice for his father and stopped the carriage of the Minister of the Central Secretariat in the street, but he didn't know that there was a girl sitting in the carriage.
He stopped in front of the carriage and said in a loud and resolute voice: "I have a grievance to report. I beg the Minister of the Central Secretariat to make a decision for me!"
The servants were anxious.
Where did this young man come from? He can't even tell the difference between the master's car and the girl's car.
If you have any problems, go to the authorities. Why stop them?
The soldiers rushed forward to drive the people away.
But the young man refused to leave no matter what. He had already put his life and death aside before he came here. Today he was determined to seek justice for his father, and it would be best if he could make a big fuss in the street.
And this person is none other than the young Dong Zhiyao.
His father, Dong Yue, ran an escort agency. Some time ago, while escorting a group of escort vehicles back to Beijing, he was inexplicably involved in a murder case and was thrown into prison.
Dong Zhiyao had already shown his talent in his youth. Having traveled extensively with his father since childhood, he possessed experience and intelligence far beyond his years. He remained calm and composed after the incident, conducting a private investigation and suspecting his father had been "ripped off," unwittingly becoming a scapegoat.
Just as he was about to start collecting evidence, the government announced that his father had "pleaded guilty" and would be beheaded in public in a few days.
It's too late.
Dong Zhiyao became ruthless and planned to appeal for justice in the street.
This place is very prestigious and the water is very deep. If you make a wrong step, you might even get yourself into trouble.
So he listed the officials in the capital, carefully selected them, and finally chose Wei Ji.
I heard that the Minister of the Central Secretariat was fair and strict, loved the people like his own children, and was an important official of two dynasties. The Qinghe Wei family behind him was a top-level aristocratic family.
As long as Wei Ji can be persuaded, his father can be saved.
Unfortunately, he had only been in Beijing for a short time. Although he recognized the logo on Wei's carriage, he could not tell the difference between the vehicles used by the female members of his family.
Wei Xiyin listened to his complaints with a wonderful expression on her face.
This was the first time she had encountered such a thing in all her time in this dynasty, so she ordered someone to lift the curtain of the carriage.
It is easy to imagine what Dong Zhiyao's expression was when he saw that there was a little girl sitting in the car.
Dong Zhiyao's face turned pale and he turned around and left.
Wei Xiyin stopped him, "I said I could save your father, what would you do?"
"Dong will always remember the girl's life-saving grace and will definitely repay her in the future!"
I won’t mention what happened later.
Wei Xiyin really came up with a bad idea and rescued the person.
But she underestimated the wisdom of the people of this dynasty, and was soon traced back to Wei, offending the real murderer behind her.
When Wei Ji learned about this, he lamented his granddaughter's character while helping to clean up the mess.
For this reason, Dong Zhiyao was summoned and reprimanded in person.
A six-year-old girl was so brave that she dared to rescue someone from prison. If this action were to get out, it would probably alarm the higher-ups.
Wei Ji didn't want his granddaughter to enter the palace.
After Dong Yue was released from prison, he realized that the person behind the scenes was powerful, so he followed Wei Ji's advice and moved his family out of the capital.
Dong Zhiyao did not forget this kindness after he left. He traveled all over the country while transporting goods. Occasionally, if he found some interesting objects, he would write letters and send them to the Zhongshu Ling Mansion in Kyoto as entertainment for the little kids.
