I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 74 Mr. Wei is sentenced!

If the dispute between Liu and Wei some time ago was a storm, then the death of Liu Yuanshan shocked the entire government and the public like an eighth-level typhoon plus a tenth-level earthquake.

Teahouses, taverns, Goulan tile houses, colleges and studios... even farmers in the fields can talk about this matter while waving their hoes.

Some people said that Wei Changtian's act was a shocking crime, and they called him lawless, and he should be sentenced to death immediately in public.

Some people in the know praised him as "a red face when he is angry", and praised him as a good-blooded man who dared to risk the world's disgrace.

Of course, no matter how the people discuss it, it can only be discussion after all.

Those who can really decide Wei Chang's fate are still standing in the court of intrigue.

...

"Your Majesty! It's only natural to kill people to pay for their lives! If you just let it go like this, it doesn't make sense in terms of law or reason!"

"Hehe, if the Liu family hadn't done the kidnapping first, how could Mr. Wei have made such an extreme move?"

"Fart! The kidnapping case has not yet been settled! Your Majesty! This is a conspiracy of the Wei family!"

"..."

Regarding how to deal with the case of "Wei Changtian killing Liu Xiang", the court has been arguing for a full ten days.

The attitudes of the officials and ministers can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first category is dominated by officials of the Liu faction, who believe that the matter was a premeditated murder, and the entire Wei family is inseparable, and must be punished severely.

Most of the second category are centrists, who don’t want to offend anyone, they advocate doing things according to the law, life for life, and killed Wei Changtian.

The third category is the Wei faction, who insisted that Wei Changtian's move was revenge for the kidnapping incident, and that it was wrong to kill the Liu family first.

The three voices are in contention, but overall, the voice of the second category is the loudest.

And Ning Yongnian is actually more inclined to the second approach.

The Wei family will definitely have to pay the price for this matter, but at this moment the Wei family still holds the Xuanjing Division in their hands, and the Tianluo Sect is behind them, it is not yet time to completely tear their face apart.

Otherwise, if the Wei family fights back desperately, then it will be a real big trouble at that time.

As for the Liu family... Liu Yuanshan's death undoubtedly hurt the strength of the Liu family, but the foundation is still there, and it doesn't mean that the tree will be overthrown, at most it will be reduced from the first to the last of the three major families.

Such a situation, coupled with the fact that the Xu family has been staying out of it all the time, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight... the situation of the three major families' mutual restraint cannot be changed in a short time.

That being the case, killing Wei Changtian is the most reasonable choice.

It can be regarded as an explanation to the Liu family, and also conforms to the thoughts of most people, and at the same time, it will not push the Wei family too hard.

Ning Yongnian has basically made up his mind, but he still underestimated Wei Xianzhi's determination to keep his son.

On September 19th, the iron gate on the third floor of the Wei family's "Wu Pavilion" opened again.

In less than an hour, Ning Yongnian saw a shriveled old man with a strange temperament and a dangerous aura in the study.

...

"Old Wei!"

Ning Yongnian was not too surprised when faced with the former commander of the Xuanjing Division who was once trusted by the late emperor and the ancestor of the Wei family who had entered the second rank.

The old man was even more calm.

He glanced at the old eunuch standing behind Ning Yongnian, then lightly cupped his hands and said:

"Veteran Wei Zhaohai, I have seen the Emperor."

"Wei senior, there is no need to be polite, please sit down quickly."

Ning Yongnian smiled and pointed to the chair beside him, but Wei Zhaohai remained motionless.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to sit down. I only have a few words, and I will leave after I finish speaking."

"Old Wei is here for your grandson, right?" Ning Yongnian asked.

"yes."

Wei Zhaohai didn't deny it either, nodded and said, "I've heard about what my grandson did, and he should lose his head."

"However, the Wei family has a single lineage, and Changtian has not yet had a child. If he dies..."

"Your Majesty, I don't care about other things, but this old man must not let the Wei family just die like this!"

"This……"

After hearing this, Ning Yongnian immediately showed bitterness and said, "Old Wei, aren't you embarrassing me?"

"It's okay if your grandson killed someone else, but he killed the prime minister!"

"The hundreds of members of the Liu family and the tens of millions of people in the government and the public are all waiting for me to give them an explanation. If they don't kill them..."

"emperor!"

Wei Zhaohai didn't want to listen to such nonsense, so he interrupted directly: "What does the Wei family need to pay for this, you can just say it."

"..."

Ning Yongnian was not annoyed when his speech was interrupted, and after thinking for a while, he slowly probed: "Since Mr. Wei insists on protecting Wei Changtian, it's not like I can't keep him alive..."

"However... the Department of Xuanjing has become bloated in recent years, and I think it can be appropriately reduced."

"I understand."

Wei Zhaohai was much more forthright than Ning Yongnian, and he didn't scribble after hearing the words, and asked directly: "How much does the emperor want?"

"Not much, just two guards."

"Neiwei and Hualingwei?"

"yes."

Ning Yongnian nodded, and said frankly: "If Xuanjing Division hand over the two guards, I will not kill Wei Changtian."

Wei Zhaohai was silent for a while: "Hua Lingwei is the foundation of Xuan Jing Division for hundreds of years, can the emperor change it?"

"cannot."

"..."

...

Five days later.

Department of Xuanjing, Department of Liu Ye.

Kong Changgui looked helplessly at Xu Qingwan who appeared on time again.

"Xu Zongqi, how many times have I told you that robbing the court is not just playing tricks!"

"I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If Mr. Wei really wants me to go to the execution ground to save the young master, I will say nothing!"

"But the case has not yet come to a conclusion, how could I promise you such a thing in advance?"

"Go back quickly, there must be some other family's secret work in the office, if these words are heard by others, the two of us may go to the execution ground one step earlier than the young master..."

"..."

Da bald head tried to persuade her earnestly as before, and Xu Qingwan refused to leave as stubbornly as before.

She has been guarding Kong Changgui's place for seven or eight days. She comes in early and returns late every day, and she is more punctual than on duty.

This is really a helpless move.

After Wei Changtian was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xu Qingwan immediately took all the money she had saved and ran to the gate of Wei's mansion to guard for three days.

As a result, no one was seen.

Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen are running up and down for their son's life to clear up their relationship.

Lu Jingyao doesn't think about tea or food every day, and shuts herself in her room all day long.

No one responded, Comrade Xiao Xu had no choice but to figure out a way by himself. After much deliberation, he decided to rob the execution ground.

No matter how stupid she is, she knows that she can't do this kind of thing alone, and other colleagues except Zhou Cheng are hesitant, so she started the mode of "working" with Kong Changgui every day.

In fact, Xu Qingwan has long understood Kong Changgui's attitude, but she still comes every day.

Because only in this way, her heart will not be so empty, and she will feel that she has done something.

Even if it doesn't make sense.

"...Xu Zongqi, don't be so pessimistic, young master, he really might be sentenced to death..."

On the other side, Kong Changgui was still chattering, but he didn't quite believe what he said.

According to the intelligence of the past few days, Wei Changtian is likely to die, at most there is a difference in the method of execution.

Is it "a thousand cuts to pieces", or "five horses to quarter a body", or...

"Here comes the news!!"

"Young Master Wei has been sentenced!! Sentenced!!!"

Suddenly, a shout came from outside the window, and there seemed to be some joy in the voice.

Xu Qingwan's face turned pale in an instant, and she slumped on the chair as if she had been drained of all her strength.

Kong Changgui's face darkened, and the next second he broke through the window and rushed out.

Immediately afterwards, his roar came in through the big hole in the window.

"Mr. Wei is sentenced, you are very happy, right?!"

"Ah? Master Kong, this, this is indeed a happy event!"

"You're fine! Then I'll make you happier!!"

"Ah!! Master Kong, what are you doing?? You misunderstood me!!"

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?!"

"Young Master Wei, he, he was not sentenced to death!"

"What?! How is the sentence?!"

"Gudu..."

The person who called out swallowed his saliva, and then said tremblingly:

"Sent to the frontier, not allowed to return to Beijing for three years."
