Chapter 60 The curtain opens
The next day.
Seven days had passed since he was injured, and Wei Changtian decisively decided to continue competing.
He had put last night's events behind him and no longer thought about them.
Liang Qin is indeed a good woman, but Wei Changtian doesn't think he must win over this childhood sweetheart.
Although it is true that he is an LSP, he doesn't have to sleep with every woman he sees.
That's not Teddy anymore.
At this time, Wei Changtian did not know that he and Liang Qin still had a long story to tell, just as he did not expect that the Liu family's actions would come so quickly.
"Bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
On the second ring, two figures were fighting each other, and it was hard to separate them.
Just as they were fighting fiercely, Wang Er's voice suddenly came from a distance.
"Sir! Stop fighting!"
“Swish!”
Wei Changtian immediately frowned and left the fight, then turned over and jumped off the stage: "What's wrong?"
Wang Er looked unhappy: "Master, let's go out and talk."
"good."
Wei Changtian had never seen Wang Er like this before, so he immediately put on his coat and walked out of the martial arts hall.
"What happened? Something happened to the Freemasons?"
"no."
Wang Er's expression was solemn: "Sir, it's the Liu family."
"Liu family? What did they do?" Wei Changtian's eyes flashed.
"They want to impeach the master."
Wang Er lowered his voice and answered, "This morning, the Ministry of Justice produced a suicide note from Zhang Hongwen. The content roughly said that the master had known that he raised a demon for a long time, but concealed it, and had been using this to blackmail him into working for the Wei family. Later, he didn't want to be controlled by the Wei family anymore, so the master turned against him."
"The suicide note also lists several things he had done for the Wei family before. All of them have traces and are very detailed."
"Fuck! Isn't this pure bullshit?"
Wei Changtian was greatly surprised, because he knew very well that Wei Xianzhi had no idea about Zhang Hongwen raising monsters before.
However, before he could ask in detail, he heard Wang Er continue: "It's not over yet, sir. After the Ministry of Justice took out this suicide note, officials from the Censorate, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and some local officials, about thirty or forty people, actually jointly reported to you."
"The complaint was more than a hundred pages long, and it accused the master of forming a clique for personal gain, accepting bribes, abusing lynching, and dozens of other crimes."
"It is said that the emperor flew into a rage after reading it..."
The two chatted all the way and soon got into the carriage.
Wei Changtian did not interrupt again. He waited until Wang Er finished speaking before asking, "Where is my father now?"
"He has just been summoned to the palace, and he is probably already in the inner city now."
Wang Er asked anxiously, "Master, what should we do now? Will the master be detained directly when he enters the palace this time?"
"Don't worry."
Wei Changtian glanced at Wang Er and could tell that he was truly loyal to the Wei family.
But some things are useless just by having the intention.
"Wang Er..."
After frowning and thinking for a while, Wei Changtian suddenly asked, "Which family do you think is more powerful, the Liu or Wei family?"
"this……"
Wang Er hesitated and said, "Liu Yuanshan is the prime minister and is good at winning people's hearts..."
Wei Changtian interrupted: "No need to talk nonsense!"
Wang Er was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said affirmatively: "The Liu family is powerful."
Wei Changtian immediately asked again: "Okay, then what is the relationship between the Xu family and the Liu and Wei families?"
Wang Er answered again: "The Xu family only cares about making money and not offending either side. It's hard to say who they are closer to."
"Well, that's no problem."
Wei Changtian suddenly smiled and stretched himself: "Go home and wait. My father will probably be back in the evening at the latest."
"ah?"
Wang Er was surprised and asked, "Sir, aren't we going to do something?"
"do what?"
Wei Changtian glared at Wang Er in disapproval: "Tell me what else can we do now besides waiting?"
"I……"
Wang Er opened his mouth but could not utter a word, obviously he had not figured out the whole thing yet.
Seeing this, Wei Changtian had no choice but to explain:
"Let me ask you, which of the officials in the court today is clean?"
"This... I'm afraid not."
"Then why is everyone okay?"
“…”
Wang Er was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand a little: "Sir, you mean the emperor..."
“That’s right!”
Wei Changtian nodded: "Whether my father will be in trouble or not is definitely not something that can be determined by a suicide note or a petition. In the final analysis, it still depends on what the emperor thinks."
"Since the Liu family is more powerful than us, and the Xu family is not on our side, do you think the emperor will help the Liu family or us?"
"But the emperor is very angry today..." Wang Er was still a little worried.
"Alas, this is just for others to see..."
Wei Changtian sighed, looked at the plaque of the Mirror Department hanging outside the carriage, and said softly: "Remember, if you want to guess what others are thinking... don't listen to what they say, but look at what they do."
…
At this moment, in the Imperial Palace, Shiqu Pavilion.
An old eunuch stood beside the man in white robes, leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Wei has entered the palace."
"Um."
Ning Yongnian nodded and took a sip of tea: "Old Li, what do you think of today's incident?"
"I don't think it's good."
The old eunuch whispered, "I just don't understand why the Liu family suddenly attacked. If it was just because of a dispute between the younger generations of the two families, it would be too unreasonable."
"I don't understand either."
Ning Yongnian pointed to the memorials scattered on the table and asked, "How much of what is said in these do you think is true?"
"This... is half true and half false."
The old eunuch hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Your Majesty, this dispute between Liu and Wei may not be as simple as before. If we don't handle it well, there may be a big mess."
"Hahahaha! I hope they fight even harder."
Ning Yongnian laughed loudly and said happily: "If they stop fighting one day, there will be a big chaos."
"Your Majesty is wise."
The old eunuch flattered Ning Yongnian lightly, already knowing how Ning Yongnian would handle the matter.
However, he was still a little worried: "Your Majesty, I have something else to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"speak!"
"yes."
The old eunuch organized his words and was about to speak when suddenly a shout came from outside the door.
"Your humble servant Wei Xianzhi requests to see His Majesty!"
The old eunuch shut up instantly. Seeing Ning Yongnian nodded, he walked to the door and welcomed Wei Xianzhi in.
"Your Majesty! I have heard about what happened during this morning's court session!"
As soon as Wei Xianzhi entered the room, he shouted out his injustice: "This is simply too much bullying and slander! I want to confront them face to face!"
"Hahaha, don't be impatient, my dear."
Ning Yongnian pointed to the seat in front of him and even personally poured a cup of tea for Wei Xianzhi: "Of course I believe you, my dear. I summoned you to the palace today to make you feel at ease."
"I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
“…”
A quarter of an hour later, Wei Xianzhi left Shiqu Pavilion in a hurry.
Ning Yongnian looked at his back through the open door for a while, and then asked the old eunuch who had appeared beside him out of nowhere.
"Old Li, what did you want to say just now?"
"I want to say... Although the Liu family is more powerful than the Wei family, the Liu family is still obedient to the emperor, but Lord Wei..."
"oh?"
Ning Yongnian turned his head and stared at the old eunuch with interest until the latter suddenly fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, my loyalty to you is evident to all! I say this entirely out of consideration for you, and I have absolutely no intention of showing partiality!"
"Get up, I didn't say anything."
Ning Yongnian withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself.
"Wei Family... now is not the time."
