Chapter 623: Wei Jie’s follow-up!
Wei Jie felt a little ashamed, and waved his hands with a forced smile: "What is there to congratulate? If it weren't for the fact that those people under the Dali Temple were not up to the task, I would have resigned."
Liu Yan replied: "Don't do that. Lord Wei is a close minister that His Majesty relies on. If Lord Wei resigns, there will be no one to take over the Dali Temple!"
Liu Yanhui was also a favorite of the emperor. He was greeting Wei Jie at the gate of the mansion and was seen by the people of the capital.
Within two days, the threshold of the Wei Mansion was almost trampled to pieces by the matchmakers.
The imperial plaque was hung, and Wei Jie was the only one in the whole Great Zhou who had this honor. In addition, Wei Jie was upright and had a refined appearance, which actually attracted the admiration of many students from the Women's College.
"Your Majesty, you didn't see how reckless those young women were. They quietly hid on the way to Sir Wei's work, and when they got the chance, they threw flowers at him. The bolder ones even took the initiative to approach him and talk to him."
Liu Yanhui told Shen Lanxi the story as if it was a joke.
It happened that she had just finished dealing with the important things in her hands, and when she heard this interesting story, she suddenly wanted to go and see it with her own eyes.
"Go and have a look?"
Liu Yan smiled back and said, "Let's go!"
After the two learned of Wei Jie's whereabouts, they traveled light and waited for him on the road he must pass.
"Here it comes." Liu Yan reminded with sharp eyes.
Shen Lanxi opened her eyes wide: Where is it? Why didn't she see it?
"The one wearing a bamboo hat and dressed as a fisherman." Liu Yanhui had obviously done his homework and pointed out with a smile.
Shen Lanxi quickly locked onto Wei Jie, and after seeing how he was dressed, she laughed out loud.
"He is still wearing a straw raincoat and straw sandals. He is indeed worthy of being the Minister of the Dali Temple. He is so strict."
Liu Yan laughed back.
"I'm afraid Lord Wei himself made this move out of helplessness."
Next to them, there were several women holding flowers in their hands, looking around.
"Where is he? Doesn't Lord Wei pass by here every day at this time? Why haven't we seen him yet today?"
"Could it be that the Dali Temple has a case to deal with?"
"It must be. Let's go look ahead!"
Liu Yanhui opened her folding fan and covered her face with it, saying, "Look at how Lord Wei is hiding. I'm afraid that now when he sees a woman holding flowers, he will be afraid and hide."
Shen Lanxi's eyes moved. She finally had the leisure time to leave the palace, so she naturally couldn't return disappointed.
As Wei Jie was walking, the hat on his head suddenly flew backwards.
"Isn't that Lord Wei?"
"Look, it's Lord Wei Jiewei..."
After Liu Yan finished shouting at the top of her lungs, she quickly ran back.
Your Majesty is really too hasty. He actually wants to see his subjects make a fool of themselves just to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Your Majesty really understands the people's wishes, he also wants to see it.
I guess the people nearby also want to see it.
Your Majesty understands their hearts very well.
"Thank you for your hard work, drink some water!" Shen Lanxi pushed the cup of water to Liu Yanhui and looked at the excitement not far away with a gloating look.
"My subjects were beaten like street rats by a group of women using flowers." Who can I go to for justice?
"Wei Jie is useless. He was beaten so badly that he didn't even have the strength to fight back. It's shameful, so shameful!"
"Go back and tell the Ministry of Rites to add an additional event to the civil service exam next year. Students must be physically strong and able to run 800 meters."
Liu Yan replied: Phew~
Eight hundred meters, for escape?
"My humerus is actually a piece of soft fat. Why doesn't it resist?"
Liu Yanhui gloated, "Sir Wei will definitely not be like this for long. The Dali Temple is also among the criminal prisons, so he must have a strong physique."
"Look, Lord Wei is running..."
Shen Lanxi immediately stood up and chased after him.
Some people are faster than her.
"Where is Lord Wei? I am Lord Wei's distant cousin..."
"Go to hell, I'm still the fiancée that Lord Wei exchanged for the engagement letter."
"Your tricks are outdated. Yesterday, Lord Wei had 20 to 30 cousins like you."
Shen Lanxi followed behind him slowly.
"I never thought that my Dali Temple Minister would be in such an embarrassing situation." He waved his folding fan lightly, looking leisurely and contented.
Liu Yan replied: "Master Wei has suffered."
Your Majesty rarely has a relaxing time, so Lord Wei would like to trouble Your Majesty to make him happy.
"Is that Lord Wei's residence in front?"
"Why is there still someone kneeling?"
"And a child?"
Wei Jie was in great pain, but he could do nothing about it.
These women didn't want to murder him. He had been angry, cold, and even threatened and scolded them before, but instead of being scared away, the women came in even more numbers.
As the Minister of Dali Temple, he could not privately lock these people up.
Moreover, these people only threw flowers at him. He had already asked the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice, and they were told that throwing flowers did not count as an attack and did not constitute a crime.
These women holding flowers must have graduated from women's colleges and are well versed in the laws of the Great Zhou.
Wei Jie never thought that in the past he always sentenced criminals according to the laws of the Great Zhou, but now he was stabbed in the back by the laws of the Great Zhou.
He endured the mess and walked to the door of his house.
"Who are you and why are you standing at my door?" Wei Jie said with a dark face and angry eyes.
When the woman saw Wei Jie, she rushed over to him.
"Cousin, I am your cousin, Honglian, I am Honglian..."
Wei Jie was so scared that he ran back reflexively.
When the women who followed him heard what the woman said, they refused to do it.
They just stood in front of Wei Jie to form a human wall.
"Bah, we are Lord Wei's cousins. Where did you come from? Why are you trying to claim kinship with an official of the imperial court?"
Wei Jie felt as if he was struck by lightning. He looked at the scene in front of him with both anger and amusement.
He is the Chief Justice of Dali Temple and a real man, but he is protected by a group of women?
Is it embarrassing?
No, these past few days, he no longer felt ashamed. He just felt embarrassed.
He is already over forty-three years old, more than enough to be a father to these women. It is simply nonsense for these women to say they want to marry him.
"Cousin, I'm Honglian, from Linshui Town, your cousin's daughter. We used to play together when we were little..."
Wei Jie suddenly remembered that there really seemed to be such a person.
"Pah, I'm still Bai Lian?"
"I'm Xianglian."
"I am Black Lotus~"
"I am Pink Lotus~"
Wei Jie: “…”
Chen Lanxi and Liu Yanhui were watching the fun from the side and were enjoying themselves.
"Do you think our Lord Wei will recognize his relatives or not?"
Liu Yanhui suppressed a laugh and said, "How can he admit it? If he dares to admit it, he will definitely have dozens more cousins."
Shen Lanxi shook her head and said, "I'm really worried about Wei Jie."
Liu Yanhui joked: "Lord Wei has become a role model among all officials. He just happened to be divorced. Now there are so many young and beautiful women rushing to marry him. He must be so happy."
Shen Lanxi teased: "Why, if it were you, would you be happy?"
Liu Yanhui waved his hands repeatedly: "Of course not, I am different from Lord Wei."
Honglian was definitely no match for dozens of other people. After a few words, she burst into tears out of anger.
"Cousin, we were engaged when we were young. I came here to seek refuge with you. If you don't acknowledge me, I will have no way to survive."
Wei Jie's face turned dark when he heard this.
He doesn't even have anyone around yet, and this guy is threatening him?
Does she really think that he, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, is a grass eater?
