Chapter 16 Sincerity
Du Yujiang naturally knows about Wei Tieshan.
His case may be big or small.
It all depends on how the county government operates.
But the Liu family will definitely not let Wei Tieshan go.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Wei Tieshan to exonerate himself.
The Wei family must also know this.
And based on his understanding of Liu Fugui, this man would never let Wei Tieshan go.
He will definitely try his best to kill him.
If he can help the Wei family, he can ask the county government to give Wei Tieshan a lighter sentence.
To save his life, he could even return home after serving two years of corvee service.
When the time comes, the Wei family will definitely be grateful to them.
This may be better than accepting Wei Yi as a disciple under his own excuse.
This way you can also express your sincerity.
He knew a little about Wei Tieshan. He was upright, committed, and repaid his kindness.
The children he raised must have good conduct.
If he was kind to the Wei family, Wei Yi would never betray their Wanjian Tower.
"Shuanzi, change the route to Mr. Li's residence!" Du Yujiang suddenly said to the groom outside.
He has a very good relationship with Li New Year, the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture.
He felt that it would be perfect to ask Li New Year for help with this matter.
Arriving at Mr. Li's mansion, Du Yujiang followed the servant into the mansion after being notified by the servant at the door.
Then I arrived at the study and saw Li Xinnian who was reading.
"Shopkeeper Du, it's so late, what do you have to do with me?" Li Xinnian put down the book in his hand and stood up to greet him with a smile on his face.
In this study room, in addition to various books, calligraphy and paintings, there is also a sword placed on the shelf.
Li New Year is also a lover of swords. The five-jeweled sword he is wearing now was given by Du Yujiang.
In other words, most of the swords in this room were given by Du Yujiang.
"Haha, why don't you come to see Mr. Li if you have nothing to do?" Du Yujiang said with a smile.
"Don't talk to me. You don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. It's strange that you suddenly came here at night. You have nothing to do!" Li Xinnian said.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"Quickly, please sit down, come and serve tea." Li New Year shouted to the servants outside the door, then looked at Du Yujiang and asked: "Brother Du, why are you here so late?" "
I have been here for the past two days. I'm invigilating the exam in the Sword Forging Department, and it's already this hour when it's over there," Du Yujiang said.
"Oh? We have a new swordsmith in Qingzhou City?"
"Yes, and he is a genius, very amazing..." Du Yujiang praised Wei Yi and told what happened in the past two days. Gave it to Li New Year.
He knew that Li Xinnian liked swords, so he would look at swordsmiths in a different light.
"To be praised so highly by Brother Du, it seems that this boy is truly a genius that is unique among ten thousand, with a bright future. I wonder who this boy studied under?" Li Xinnian looked at Du Yujiang with great interest.
He guessed that the other party coming to him must be related to his son.
However, he was also very curious in his heart as to who this swordsmith Du Yujiang called a genius was.
"His name is Wei Yi, and he studied under Wei Tieshan. You must have heard about the case of Liu Fugui's son Liu Jiabao being killed in the street, right?" "
Yes, of course you do, and I just heard today that the county government found new evidence. and witnesses, Wei Tieshan has also pleaded guilty, and the case has been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review. Wei Tieshan is likely to be executed by Qiu Houwen!" Li Xinnian said sternly.
Hearing this, Du Yujiang's expression changed.
Secretly, the Liu family really took action.
"Sir, don't you think this matter is suspicious? From what I know about Wei Tieshan, he is definitely not a narrow-minded person. He would kill people just because of some conflicts and misunderstandings with Liu Jiabao. And he is not an ignorant person
. Even if he really wanted to kill Liu Jiabao, he would not do it in the street with so many people watching.
As a blacksmith, with all his strength, it would not be difficult to secretly find an opportunity to kill Liu Jiabao. There was no need to do so. What kind of evil cultivators are you colluding with!"
"Well, what you said does make sense. This matter is indeed very suspicious - is this why you came here?" "Yes,
Sir Mingjian, I also have some friendship with Wei Tieshan, no. I hope he dies unjustly. His nephew will now become a ninth-grade swordsmith, and his future is limitless. To be honest, I want to sell him a favor and recruit him. So I can only be shameless. I'm asking for your help." Du Yujiang stood up and bowed, with a sincere look on his face.
"Now that Brother Du has spoken, I will definitely help you in this matter, but it may be difficult to convince the public if Wei Tieshan is acquitted. And Liu
Jiabao was beaten to death by him after all, so the Liu family needs to give an explanation, right? But don't worry, there is absolutely no problem in saving Wei Tieshan's life."
"Thank you, sir, so I can rest assured. I will truthfully tell Wei Yi about this matter, and he will definitely remember your kindness.
By the way, Third Young Master. He's about to become an adult. I'll let Wei Yi personally forge a fine sword for the Third Young Master as a coming-of-age ceremony." "
Haha, then I'll thank Shopkeeper Du for Quanzi!"
...
This night, for the For mother and daughter Wei Xue and Wei Qing, the journey is destined to be long and torturous.
The tears have long since dried up, but what remains is endless despair.
As the lowest level people in this era.
Faced with the government and wealthy gentry like the Liu family.
They feel deeply powerless and hopeless.
It seems that no matter how hard I try, it doesn't work.
The mother and daughter stayed up all night. For the first time, they were so afraid of seeing the sun rise and the arrival of a new day.
Because they don't know how to face what might happen next.
How to face the future.
Wei Xue went to the county government office early in the morning and inquired about Wei Tieshan's case from the government officials who had dealt with it before.
Sure enough, as Meng Shuilian said, Wei Tieshan has been convicted.
As long as the Ministry of Punishment approves the review, a notice will be posted to ask for execution.
Wei Xue didn't even know how she walked home.
But as soon as she entered the house, she passed out.
Wei Qing was frightened. With the help of Shitou, she helped Wei Xue to the room.
Then while crying, he invited the doctor.
After the doctor's diagnosis, she suffered from a sudden attack of anger, and she didn't get enough rest, so she fainted.
"I gave her a pill to soothe her mind and let her have a good sleep. She should be fine!" the doctor said to Wei Qing.
"Well, thank you, doctor!" Wei Qing said while sobbing.
The doctor was immediately sent to the door.
She wiped her tears, although she told herself to be strong and support the family like her brother.
But she couldn't help but want to cry.
"Shitou, you are watching my mother in the room and can't leave even an inch. I'm going to the Sword Making Department!" Wei Qing suddenly said to Shitou beside her.
"Oh, okay, sister, I can definitely take good care of my wife!" Shitou nodded heavily.
He also knew that something was wrong at home and he had to help share the burden.
Wei Qing came to the Sword Making Department and asked the clerk on duty about the status of Wei Yi's assessment.
Knowing that Wei Qing was Wei Yi's sister, the clerk's attitude suddenly became much kinder.
With a smile on his face, he invited Wei Qing into the room and poured her a glass of water.
"Your brother should be able to finish the assessment today. Do you have anything urgent to do with him?" "
Oh, no, nothing. I just want to know when he will finish it?" "
I guess it will be in the afternoon. If you have anything, You can tell me and I will tell him as soon as he comes out!" said the official.
"No, I, I'm going back first!"
Knowing that Wei Yi would finish the assessment today, Wei Qing seemed to feel a lot more at ease.
I feel that as long as my brother is here, I won't be so confused and there will be a backbone in the family.
