Chapter 336 Yuan Tiangang is here again
Time flies.
By the afternoon of the following day, the people had gathered at the Wei residence without prior arrangement.
As the news spread, the area around the Wei residence was packed with people.
to this end……
Chang He also specially dispatched soldiers to garrison the area.
The gates of the Wei residence were tightly shut.
Upon seeing this, the people began to shout and clamor again...
"Where is Wei Shuyu? Let him come out."
"Yes, a day has passed. Hand over Wei Shuyu."
"If they don't give us an explanation, we'll storm in."
With the instigation of certain individuals, the farmers' emotions were instantly stirred up.
Creak.
The gates of the Wei residence opened.
Then Wei Zheng, Wei Shuyu, and Lao Wu came out together.
There weren't many guards.
There were only three thin figures.
Greetings, everyone.
Wei Zheng bowed to the crowd.
Seeing this, Wei Zheng and Lao Wu followed suit.
"Enough nonsense, the day is up, what's your explanation?"
"Look everyone, that's Wei Shuyu, he is Sirius."
"It is because of him that the Tang Dynasty has suffered one natural disaster after another!"
With the arrival of the three, the public's emotions reached their peak.
Some agitated people even picked up stones and threw them at Wei Shuyu.
Wei Shuyu 'coincidentally' turned his head away, cleverly dodging the attack.
"You bastard, how dare you smash my pot!"
Choi Shin-ki, who was waiting in the distance, waved his hand and said, "Imperial Academy Army, march!"
The group of friends all stepped forward.
"stop!"
Wei Shuyu quickly stopped him.
With so many people on the other side, aren't you afraid of accidentally getting killed?
"What, are you going to use force again?"
"Everyone, look! Wei Shuyu is going to bully people by abusing his power."
"Shouldn't such a wicked person die?"
really……
Choi Shin-ki's action immediately put another big accusation on the other party.
"Should."
"Should."
"Should."
"Hand over Wei Shuyu and burn Sirius to death."
"Hand over Wei Shuyu and burn Sirius to death."
This incident acted as a catalyst.
This once again aroused the people's anger.
"Gentlemen."
After everyone had vented for a while, Wei Shuyu finally stepped forward...
"You can hit me or kill me, it doesn't matter."
Wei Shuyu said with a smile, "But we should at least let people die knowing why, right?"
As soon as Wei Shuyu spoke, he was immediately met with countless curses and scorn.
But after hearing what Wei Shuyu said next, the people's voices grew quieter and quieter.
"I would like to ask you all a question: how did I become Sirius?"
"I'm eleven years old this year."
"Even if it's Sirius, why was he perfectly fine for the first ten years, only showing symptoms at age eleven?"
this……
yes.
Why were things fine for the first ten years?
The people seemed to sense that something was wrong.
"Of course, it's because you're extremely cunning."
Seeing that the people were softening, the old farmer stepped forward again.
Compared to yesterday, his eyes held a hint of pride and a touch of high spirits.
I must say, I received quite a few compliments today.
“You were afraid of attracting attention, so you deliberately hid for ten years!” the old farmer said with certainty.
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that it wasn't impossible.
"Wow, I'm actually this amazing..."
Wei Shuyu feigned surprise and replied, "I didn't even know I could control natural disasters, but you do?"
"And how come I, who can control natural disasters, can't secretly kill you, you old geezer?"
The people were stunned again.
yes.
Now that Wei Shuyu has said that, it does seem a bit strange.
The old farmer's eyes immediately filled with suspicion.
"Stop making excuses!"
The old farmer's face turned somewhat grim: "You must be hiding something from us."
"Then tell me what I'm hiding..." Wei Shuyu asked indifferently.
"snort."
The old farmer snorted and stopped dwelling on the matter.
He then turned to the people and said, "Don't be fooled by Wei Shuyu."
"The Wei family members are the most eloquent; I probably can't out-argue them!"
"But what I want to tell you is..."
"The fact that Wei Shuyu is Sirius is not something I made up."
"It came from within the imperial court."
Many people agreed with this statement.
The fact that Wei Shuyu was Sirius is rarely discussed.
But the rumors had already spread privately.
So what do you mean?
Wei Shuyu laughed and said, "You want my life just because of a rumor?"
"You are Sirius..."
The old farmer suddenly raised his voice: "Sirius is a scourge to the world, he deserves to die!"
People no longer blindly follow trends.
They just like to join in the fun, but they're not really stupid.
The old farmer's words clearly contained a flaw.
"Yeah?"
Wei Shuyu smiled but did not reply.
At that moment, two people stepped out from the crowd...
A Taoist priest and an official.
They walked straight to the gate of the Wei residence and bowed to Wei Zheng.
Then he turned to look at the people.
"This humble Taoist priest is Yuan Tiangang."
"I am Li Chunfeng."
Yuan Tiangang was not executed.
Firstly, with powerful figures like Wei Ting and Wang Gui protecting him, Li Shimin had to give him some face.
Secondly, Li Shimin was skeptical, after all, he had witnessed Wei Shuyu's sudden change of heart.
Thirdly, Yuan Tiangang was truly capable.
Even if he made a mistake in one calculation.
With just a few demonstrations, Li Shimin was completely fooled.
"Wei Shuyu's words about Sirius were deduced by the two of us!"
Wow.
Everyone was in an uproar.
If these two are the ones who said it, it's very likely to be true.
These two are officially recognized as superstitious!
"Did you all see that?"
"What could be more credible than the words of these two?"
The old farmer laughed heartily.
With these two witnesses as witnesses, no matter how cunning and unpredictable the Wei family's arguments may be, you will find it impossible to defend yourself today!
"Please be quiet, everyone."
Just then, Yuan Tiangang spoke up: "Please let us explain in detail..."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"The two of us are here today to resolve the Sirius issue."
"good!"
The old farmer exclaimed, "To be able to join the two of you in destroying Sirius today is truly one of the greatest joys in life!"
Um?
Yuan Tiangang glanced at the old man.
"You're wrong..."
Li Chunfeng stepped forward and said, "We are not here to kill Wei Shuyu, but to clarify something..."
"Wei Shuyu is not Sirius; we miscalculated."
Did I... miscalculate?
The old farmer was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.
"That night, the sun was high and the wind was strong..."
Yuan Tiangang said helplessly, "I accidentally misspoke because of a head injury."
As he said this, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but glance at the three men.
It was that bloody disaster that gave me a severe beating back then.
You must be responsible for what you say!
The old farmer pointed at the two men, his voice trembling with emotion: "Everyone in Chang'an knows that Wei Shuyu is Sirius. How can you just make up a slip of the tongue and let it all go?"
"I understand, you're just protecting each other!"
"You want to exonerate Wei Shuyu!"
After the old farmer finished speaking, the people hesitated again.
It's not impossible.
Even if the two are highly skilled in physiognomy, they are in the imperial court, and who knows what evil intentions they may be harboring?
"this……"
Li Chunfeng glanced indifferently at the old farmer: "It seems we've never publicly stated that Wei Shuyu is Sirius, have we?"
"Moreover, by standing up this time, we are taking responsibility for our words and actions!"
No sooner had Li Chunfeng finished speaking than Yuan Tiangang stepped forward.
"Infinite Heavenly Venerable!"
Yuan Tiangang flicked his whisk, placing it on his arm: "How can the secrets of heaven be spoken of absolutely?"
"It's common to make mistakes in judgment and calculation."
"Think about it carefully, everyone. If we are right every time, wouldn't that be more powerful than the heavens?"
As the two men spoke, all the people suddenly realized what was happening.
That's more like it.
"We did not expect that our previous remarks would cause trouble for the Wei family."
"I feel deeply ashamed of this."
"That's why I'm here today to clarify..."
As they spoke, the two bowed to Wei Zheng once again.
Upon seeing this, Wei Zheng quickly returned the greeting.
this……
The old farmer was dumbfounded.
These remarks caught him completely off guard.
