Chapter 98: Tingwei
It was late at night and Dian Wei, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened by a fierce knock on the door.
"Who are you?" The sleepy servant just walked to the door and opened the door with dissatisfaction, but was startled by the scene in front of him.
At the gate of the mansion, a general with a 8-foot-tall back and a bear-behind him, followed more than a dozen officers and soldiers. Looking further away, the entire street was lined up with soldiers.
"I am Wuqiu Yi, the subordinate of the Tingwei Mansion, and I am ordered to come and capture the important criminal!" The general took out a token and said coldly.
"Why are you catching the criminal, what are you doing here? Do you know who is here?" The servant glared at him, but he was not afraid at all.
"The Tingwei Mansion takes the people, regardless of their identity, and we are not arresting Mr. Cai!" Wu Qiuyi pushed away the servants and said coldly: "Search for me!"
"You can't go in!" Seeing this, the servant wanted to stop him, but his little arms and legs could not stop these officers and soldiers who were like wolves and tigers. Some servants had already rushed to report. However, in this time, many people had already rushed into the Cai Mansion. Although it was a search, it was obvious that he had already obtained the news before and went straight toward the guest room where Ye Zhao was.
"Rareless!" Cai An's clothes were a little messy. He didn't expect someone to trespass the Cai Mansion. He saw a group of big-headed soldiers rushing straight towards the guest room and knew that they were going to be. He hurriedly led a group of servants to stop him and pointed at Wu Qiuyi and said sternly: "This is Cai Mansion. When you break into the mansion late at night, who does it mean?"
"We are ordered to capture the criminal, and we have no intention of offending Mr. Cai. Please get out of the way!" Cai An was Cai Yong's housekeeper after all, and he still had some face in this scholar. Wu Qiu Yi did not dare to treat Cai An as he did to his servants, so he had to hold his fists and said.
"If you want to search the Cai Mansion, will there be an edict from Your Majesty?" Cai An refused and deliberately raised his voice, hoping that Ye Zhao could hear it.
Outside Ye Zhao's room, Dian Wei frowned when he saw that many officers and soldiers had gathered outside. He subconsciously wanted to pick up the iron halberd to take action, but was pressed by one hand.
"Don't be reckless!" Ye Zhao's face was a little solemn. He was different from ordinary people. Nothing within a radius of ten feet could be hidden from him. If he took action at this moment, he would have to be a fugitive. When the Tingwei suddenly rushed in, Ye Zhao had already realized that someone was going to deal with him.
"Master, what should I do now?" Dian Wei frowned.
"Go to your teacher and wait for his teacher's order. Remember, no matter what your teacher says, just do it, no mistakes. I will avoid it first!" Ye Zhao hurriedly explained to Dian Wei. Although Wu Qiuyi dared not touch Cai An, ordinary servants did not need to worry. Seeing Cai An continue to delay, the person he was sure that he wanted to arrest was here. He directly ordered the officers and soldiers to forcibly break into the guest room area and began to search door by door. Ye Zhao directly dodged and reached out his hand skillfully and climbed over the wall. Under the night, it was not easy to distinguish the direction. He could only rely on his mental perception to avoid the officers and soldiers as much as possible, but could not leave the mansion. At this moment, outside the Cai Mansion, the officers and soldiers who had been transferred by the court lieutenant were surrounded.
"What happened?" Wei Ji was woken up in the middle of the night and felt a little depressed. When he saw someone coming to Tingwei's Mansion, his face suddenly changed and he asked in a deep voice.
"The court officer received a secret report, and Ye Zhao, the siege, was unfavorable to fight. He left his post and fled to Luoyang. He was ordered to come and arrest him!" Wu Qiuyi recognized Wei Ji, and the two sides had some friendship and were more polite.
"Ye Zhao?" Wei Ji raised his eyebrows: "I have never heard that Ye Zhao has come to Cai Mansion. Is General Wuqiu misunderstood?"
"I'm going to get strict orders. Boru must not interfere in this matter!" Wu Qiuyi looked around and whispered.
Wei Ji felt cold in his heart. He could mobilize the court guard. No matter who the person behind him was, he could not provoke him. After sighing helplessly, he whispered: "Don't bump into Mr. Cai."
"Don't worry, I dare not give me any courage!" Wu Qiuyi nodded, and after confirming that there was no Ye Zhao in the surrounding area, he took people to other rooms to search one by one.
Seeing Wu Qiu Yi leaving, Wei Ji's expression suddenly became gloomy. He suddenly turned around and looked at Wei Zheng who was shrunk his head and cursed: "Don't you get in here yet!"
Wei Zheng lowered his head and followed Wei Ji back to the room.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Wei Ji sat on Hu's bed, looked at Wei Zheng who was following him, and snorted coldly.
"It's really nothing to do with me!" Wei Zheng said bitterly.
"I naturally know." Wei Ji looked at him coldly: "What kind of virtue is Tingwei? If someone hadn't been instructed behind his back, even if he knew Ye Zhao was here, he wouldn't pay attention. You don't have this ability! I'm asking you, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
There were many scholars who had seen Ye Zhao in the restaurant. If they told anyone about this, or if the person behind the scenes was in the restaurant today, then Ye Zhao would have no connection with their Wei family. What he feared most was that Wei Zheng intervened, and that would offend Ye Zhao and Cai Yong at the same time. What he feared most was that this kid was foolish and was used as a gun.
"This..." Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Or... maybe..."
"Maybe?" Wei Ji said anxiously: "If there is, there is, if there is no, there is no. What is this mean?"
"I was depressed before. I went to the winery to drink. I met Chunyu Qiong. We talked very well. After drinking, I told him about this matter. Chunyu Qiong said that I would help me with this breath. I didn't agree, so he left..." Wei Zheng told Wei Ji clearly about what happened in the restaurant before. He knew that he was not good at these things, but his brother had a deep calculation, so he didn't dare to hide it.
Wei Ji listened to Wei Zheng's words, then Cai Yong was awakened by Wu Qiu Yi's slew of search.
"Tingwei, what a great power!" Cai Yong stood in front of the inner courtyard, following Cai An on the left, and Dian Wei, who had just arrived at Ye Zhao's order, sneered at Wu Qiuyi and others: "Although I no longer care about the affairs of the court and are not officials, I cannot tolerate you being bullied for no reason! If the matter of today is not an explanation, even if I sacrifice my life, I will go to His Majesty to ask clearly."
"Mr. Cai, we don't have this intention. This trip is just an order!" Wu Qiu Yi frowned. Looking at Cai Yong's posture, he did not dare to take action. Although Cai Yong has no official title at the moment, this person is a person who can go to and from the palace to discuss politics with the emperor at any time. Not to mention this, just because of Cai Yong's status as a great scholar in the world, if he really dares to collide Cai Yong, the Tingwei Mansion may not be in trouble, but he will definitely be in trouble, and it will be a big deal.
When Wu Qiuyi thought of this, he felt that the Tingwei must be putting on his shoes and handing over such a bad task to him, but at this moment, Wu Qiuyi could only bite the bullet and take it.
"It's just that someone reported that Ye Zhao, the siege-camp, resigned without hiding the enemy in Runan, but he appeared in Luoyang for some reason and violated the law. As court guards, we should safeguard the majesty of the law. We also hope that Mr. Cai should put national affairs first." Wu Qiu Yi said in a deep voice.
"You mean I'm giving up my public because of my personal gain?" Cai Yong said with a ugly expression.
"I dare not, but I don't want Mr. Cai to defile his reputation because of this!" Wu Qiuyi looked at Cai Yong's expression and was happy, knowing that he had taken Cai Yong's life gate.
This is true. Cai Yong read a lot of books and had achievements in literature that ordinary people could not match. In the officialdom, he could see through many things throughout his life. However, sometimes being able to see through them does not mean that he could do it. Just as he taught Ye Zhao to be an official and become a traitor on that day, but if he really let him do whatever he could to achieve his goal, he could not do it. He practiced the way of a gentleman throughout his life and strived to be like a gentleman in the books of his sages, but he also bound many things. At this moment, Wu Qiuyi just bit the bullet and brought the law to talk about things, but he hit Cai Yong's weakness.
If someone else is in such a position as Cai Yong, as long as he refuses to admit it and stops these court guards, no matter how bold these people are, they will not dare to really face Cai Yong's sword. Unfortunately, Cai Yong can't do it, and his momentum is already weak.
A gentleman can deceive him by nature, and he is talking about a person like Cai Yong.
Wuqiu Yi observed his expression and found that Cai Yong's aura was much weaker, so he quickly winked at his deputy general.
"Search!" The deputy general understood it. With a wave of his hand, a large number of court guards carefully walked around Cai Yong and headed towards the inner courtyard.
"Mr. Cai, this..." Dian Wei had rolled up his sleeves and was about to chop people, but he saw Cai Yong not speaking for a long time. Seeing a large number of court guards pouring into the inner courtyard, Dian Wei was shocked. He knew that Ye Zhao was hiding in the inner courtyard now and looked at Cai Yong with an anxious look on his face.
"Don't say too much, I have my own sense of responsibility!" Cai Yong said as calmly as possible, not letting Wu Qiu Yi see anything from him, but in fact only he knew in his heart that he was in a mess at this moment and didn't know what to do.
"Who are you? Is there a place where you talk here?" Wu Qiuyi turned his head and looked at Dian Wei. He didn't understand why there was such a rash man in Cai Yong's mansion. It was impossible for him to be a servant to protect the hospital, but Wu Qiuyi was not polite about such people interrupting.
"Get out!" Dian Wei was in a bad mood. Seeing Wu Qiuyi making noise at him, he glared back without thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Stand here, dare to make noise again, I will cut you first!"
The fierce aura that came to his face made Wu Qiuyi feel that his breathing had stopped for a moment. He held his breath in his chest for a long time and couldn't breathe for a long time, trying to have an attack. However, under Dian Wei's eyes that stared at him like a tiger, Wu Qiuyi felt that his legs were a little weak. For a moment, facing Dian Wei's fierce eyes, he couldn't even say a word.
Seeing that Cai Yong was not in charge at this time, Dian Wei looked at Wu Qiu Yi and felt a move in his heart. No matter what, he would look at this person first. If the lord is really discovered, he would capture this person first.
