Laiwang County

In Cheng county magistrate's study, he and his master were discussing things.

The master is very worried about this matter: "Sir, is there really no problem in dealing with General Qin? The prefect has already known about this matter, I am worried... Besides, General Qin is a student of Du Shilang, if something happens to Qin Fang, Du The waiter will not give up. Besides, now that Tu Qiang has used General Qin's reputation to hurt people, this matter will become more and more troublesome."

The county magistrate sighed. Don't look at how confident he was in front of Master Liu that day, but in fact, he wasn't so confident: "I can't help it either, if the above wants to touch Qin Fang, can I refuse it? But fortunately, their The purpose is not to really move Qin Fang. The above said, be polite to Qin Fang, this case will drag on for a few months and then Qin Fang will be cleared. "

The master didn't understand: "Why did the above do this?"

Cheng county magistrate said: "How do I know? Go and prepare. Tomorrow, this official will go to the general's mansion in person, and ask General Qin to come and explain this matter." Although Qin Fang's grade is higher than him, he is from Wang County. He has the right to ask Qin Fang to cooperate with the investigation.

The county magistrate did not know why the above did this, but someone in the capital knew.

Wei House

Wei Hong was sitting in the kitchen, opposite Wei Ting with a livid face.

Wei Hong's face was also not good, this was the first time his son yelled at him. However, this is the son he cultivated, and the future head of the Wei family is not cruel enough. "Wei Ting, this matter has already been done. Even if you want to stop it, it's too late."

Wei Ting was very disappointed. He clearly understood the matter of Yang's house, but he didn't stop him. His position was different. He also knew his father's helplessness. Why does father still do this?

Wei Ting: "Father, Qin Fang is Du Shilang's student. In the imperial study that day, the emperor himself said that Du Shilang should accept Qin Fang as a student. It can be seen that the emperor values ​​Qin Fang. You asked Cheng county magistrate to move Qin Fang. , are you hitting the emperor's face or Du Shilang's face? Because of the affairs of Yang's house, although our Wei family is still a first-class family in the capital, our status is actually very embarrassing. If the matter of Qin Fang is known to Du Shilang , I just went to the court, Du Shilang will not give up."

Wei Ting snorted, "It's just a student, can Du Ke care so much?"

"Father..." Wei Ting had witnessed Du Ke and Du Shilang getting along with his own eyes. He had never seen Du Shilang, who was so rigorous and thoughtless, who could smile at Qin Fang like that. Even the son, nothing more than that. "It's not just about the students. This Qin Fang is a student given to Du Shilang by the emperor. You are a measured person, why is this matter so indifferent? Could it be because Lord Bingyun refused to become the Wei residence? The righteous girl thing?"

Wei Hong said: "Is it worth the old man to move Du Ke's students? Don't worry, Qin Fang will be fine, and he will be cleared afterwards. Du Ke and the emperor's valued people, the old man will not move, but because he wants to Let Qin Fang do something and move his position. He can't stay in Yunxiang County. When he is fired, he will naturally be innocent, and he can still be an official at that time, but not in Yunxiang County. "

Wei Ting narrowed his eyes, as smart as him, and immediately thought of one thing: "It's not for Qin Fang, but for Qin Fang's official position, but what is there to remember about the general of Yunxiang County's defense of the city? In a remote and remote place, the most valuable thing now is only because the Qin family has become a franchisee of imperial grain. But just because of this, you will not let you move the people that Duke and the emperor value, nor because of Bingyun Township Regarding this matter, then... Yunxiang County's biggest secret, the most valuable thing, is the ore..." Having said this, Wei Ting's eyes widened, "Father, are you because of gunpowder?!" He asked, but Wei Ting's voice was firm.

Wei Hong looked at the eldest son. The eldest son was very good, and he was much better than the second son. So some of his decisions will be told to the eldest son, but not to the second son. However, at this moment, he regretted that the eldest son was too smart.

From the look in his father's eyes, Wei Ting knew that he had guessed correctly. At the same time, a more terrifying suspicion lingered in his heart, he stood up abruptly and came to Wei Hong: "Father, there are only a few people who know about gunpowder, ore and gunpowder are now in charge of Qin Fang, which is equivalent to mastering the gunpowder. In the emperor's hands, even if outsiders knew about saltpeter, sulfur, or ore, they didn't know the emperor's gunpowder plan. Moreover, gunpowder in the emperor's hands was the foundation of the country, and this was the most beneficial.

But you want to move Qin Fang, because of the gunpowder, it means that you don't want the gunpowder to be in the hands of the emperor. Father...Son has a bold guess. If you are not treasonous, then you are standing in line. Which prince are you standing for? The prince's family knew about the gunpowder and wanted Qin Fang's official position to guard Yunxiang County, right? But because of Du Ke, they wouldn't really touch Qin Fang, would they? "

"Shut up." Wei Hong yelled.

Wei Ting's eyes were full of disappointment: "After the incident of making ice with saltpeter was made public, everyone thought that I brought people from the Ministry of Industry to Yunxiang County for mining, but they didn't know that I went because of the gunpowder incident. I came back, and I brought back the news of the success of gunpowder research. You also know it. So, is it really because of gunpowder, really because you are in the family of the prince? Father, you are so confused. The emperor is not yet thirty, he You've been in power for a long time, you..."

Wei Ting closed his eyes: "What do you know? You also know the current situation of the Wei family. Back then, when the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, when he was still the king of Yuan, although I was his confidant, I was not in his favor. The one I saw was Du Ke. Later, when the heirship was seized, the factions between King Yuan and Taifu Yang fought fiercely. I proposed to King Yuan that Wei Wu and the daughter of the Yang family should marry, so as to use the plan of Taifu Yang's faction, but King Yuan did not agree. There was no objection either.

But I know that he did not object, that is, agreed.

But Wei Ting made a two-sided plan for his father back then. If Taifu Yang's faction succeeds, then with the relationship between Wei Wu and the daughter of the Yang family, our Wei family will not be bad. Later, I saw that Taifu Yang's faction was not the opponent of King Yuan, so I told King Yuan the plan of Taifu Yang's faction. I originally thought that with this matter, the emperor would value me, but who knows, the emperor is most interested in Du Ke. "

Wei Ting disagreed: "But the emperor let me participate in the gunpowder project, isn't this enough to prove that he likes our Wei family? Father, which prince are you standing in? Let the son guess... It's the imperial concubine. Right? Although the emperor did not make her the queen, who doesn't know that the ministers in the court are most optimistic about the emperor's eldest son? Moreover, the imperial concubine was originally the successor, and the eldest prince was also the eldest son."

Wei Hong said: "So the emperor did this inappropriately."

Wei Ting defended: "It has nothing to do with us whether the emperor is authentic or not. Father, what did the imperial concubine promise you?"

Wei Hong didn't say anything, just changed the subject: "You don't need to worry about this matter, this matter has nothing to do with you. No one knows the relationship between Magistrate Cheng of Laiwang County and me, even if the Magistrate Cheng of Laiwang County has an accident, It won't involve us either."

Wei Ting: "How did you arrange this incident? Use that servant's son-in-law to question Qin Fang's character and personal morality, and then propose to suspend his official position. After the new officer takes office, he will be innocent? You guys? Relying on the fact that Du Shilang is not in the court, so let go of Qin? But father, although Du Shilang is not there, his people and his relationship are still in the court. His students and his people will let you move? "

Wei Hong: "So it's not moving? It's just a suspension of official positions. Don't worry, we don't need to worry about other things."

Wei Ting still disagreed, but his father had already lined up with the imperial concubine's family, what could he do? For a while, he was very confused. Fortunately, this incident will not endanger Qin Fang, otherwise the ending of the matter will be more troublesome. However, Wei Ting still felt very uneasy.

Qin Fang left Yunxiang County, and did not let the two guards follow him, but said: "You all go to Laiwang County and secretly pay attention to every move of the county magistrate. I will go to the capital alone."

The guard was startled: "Then your safety, General?"

Qin Fang said: "It's okay, your horses can't keep up with Wu Shuai's speed, I want to go as soon as possible, I can't tell Xiangjun about this when I come back, understand?"

Guard: "Yes."

After separating from the guard, Qin Fang turned on Wu Shuai's back: "Wu Shuai, let's speed up, but we can't damage the prestige of your BMW."

The people behind the Wei family didn't think about Qin Fang, and the county magistrate didn't expect Qin Fang to leave Yunxiang County secretly. Qin Fang was a general defending the city, and he left Yunxiang County privately.

In fact, if it was Du Ke, he would not have thought that Qin Fang would leave Yunxiang County. But Qin Fang just left, and he left without pressure. Just like this, he rode Wu Shuai day and night, and arrived in the capital one afternoon after two days and one night.

When he arrived in the capital, he needed an identity letter. After he knew that someone in the capital wanted to deal with him, he naturally wouldn't show his identity letter, but he didn't have a fake identity letter either. But it doesn't matter, isn't this captain of the city guard Du Er Gongzi?

Du Er Gongzi was eating snacks in the duty room on the city wall. When he heard someone looking for him, he asked, "Can anyone look for this son? Who is the other party?"

The guard said: "The other party claimed to be Tao Shan's friend. Tao Shan asked someone to send you something from Yunxiang County, saying that he was grateful for your help that day."

Huh? When Du Er Gongzi heard this, he hurried to the spirit: "What? Watermelon?" After speaking, he got up immediately, "Let's go and have a look." After tasting watermelon, Du Er Gongzi's life is nothing but food. Yes, but the number of watermelons is limited, and you can't eat them in the capital.
