Chapter 168: A Stormy Night

God is like playing with the world. The sultry and humid sky just now was filled with lightning and heavy rains. The "rumbling" thunder sound was no less than the thunder in February, blowing a nest in the capital. The heavy rain came too fast and almost did not give anyone any preparation. When the first thunder exploded over the capital, the raindrops as big as beans had already fallen. Fortunately, it was evening, and there were few pedestrians on the street, otherwise, this heavy rain would have poured many pedestrians into chickens.

What is happy is that the arrival of the storm has released people's experience of being stuffy and frustrated. The coolness comes in an instant and is happy all over. This is more or less a gift from God to the world.

Lightning made the night less dark, and the strong wind made the house less stuffy.

In the Sili Supervisor, eight everlasting lamps hanging on the walls were swaying under the wind. Under the bright light, the nine thousand-year-old Eunuch Wei, who was as kind as an old farmer, was concentrating on writing. At this moment, he looked focused and stared at the words in front of him. The brush in his hand was as heavy as a pound, and he could not finish his writing for a long time. After finally deciding to write, he had to think about every stroke. The huge word "Wei" was swung in the hands of others, but in the place of Eunuch Wei, it was like a baby with difficulty, and no matter how anxious it was, it could not be born.

On the side, there was another scene, with a lot of people and a lot of lively.

Jiu Qiansui was practicing calligraphy. Li Yongzhen and Wang Tiqian, who had just returned from the silver game, leisurely sat down and raised the chess piece. The two were evenly matched, fighting black and white. It seemed that there was no time to decide the winner. On the one hand, Xu Yunhe, Liang Dong, Zhou Qing and others stood behind them and watched the battle silently, applauding the wonderful chess move from time to time.

After slowly writing the last stroke of his name "Wei", Wei Zhongxian breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the sky. The lightning and thunder outside the window were roaring, the shadows of trees were shining, and the atmosphere was depressed. This made his already relaxed heart tighten again. He sighed heavily, put down his pen gently, and shouted to the side: "Come here all."

Hearing Eunuch Wei's cry, Wang Tiqian hurriedly got up and walked in with Li Yongzhen and the others.

"Qiansui!" Everyone shouted at the same time.

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand and signaled everyone not to speak. He pointed at the word he wrote slowly and asked: "You guys, how are our words written?"

"What a good word Wei, Qiansui is really a good word! I..." Liang Dong opened his mouth and wanted to praise him, but found that no one around him spoke. He quickly closed his mouth tactfully and laughed dryly.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly, without saying anything, and slowly looked at Wang Tiqian.

Wang Tiqian closed his head and walked to the desk. He first looked at the copybook, then looked at the word "Wei" written by Wei Zhongxian. Finally, he secretly looked at Wei Zhongxian's face and observed his expression. Knowing that Eunuch Wei was still unable to let go, he said softly: "Is there something wrong with Qiansui?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "How can I see it?"

Wang Tiqian smiled and looked down at the word "Wei" carefully. His eyes flashed and moved, and he said lightly: "The most taboo book surname is the most. Everyone's surname is closest to him and is prone to impetuousness. Especially tonight, it is even more irritable. Qiansui wrote this word deliberately to be slow, which shows his skill, but at the last moment the word "ghost" was a failure..." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, whispered, and said treacherously: "It can be seen that Qiansui has a ghost in his heart!"

"I know I can't hide it from you." Wei Zhongxian gave a thumbs up, but his tone was plain and there was no sign of appreciation.

Liang Dong interrupted as if he was pleased and said, "Hehe, Qiansui practiced this word casually, and it shows the true feelings!"

Wei Zhongxian stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at everyone and said, "The prince is right, there is a ghost in our hearts... Tomorrow's court meeting, does the emperor believe in Yang Lian or our family? Our family is really unsure. If the emperor believes in Yang Lian, then our heads will really not be able to be protected. Oh, let me ask, how can our family feel at ease?"

"You don't have to worry too much. If you win or lose, you may not lose." Wang Tigan shook his head and said, "Maybe, the chance of victory will be tomorrow."

Xu Yunhe also said: "Yes, Qiansui, Yang Lian is full of nonsense. The emperor is wise, so how can he be deceived by him? I want me to say that tomorrow will be the day when Yang Lian is finished!"

"We have done everything we should do. We have to plan for others and accomplish things in heaven. Qiansui still needs to settle down. I am all pointing at Qiansui." Liang Dong looked loyal.

Zhou Qing and other members of the ritual ceremonies also expressed their loyalty, which showed that the Ridonglin Party could never find a good idea.

"If we can really calm down, our family will not be able to ignorant of the big words but we have to practice any words." Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly. Most of the words of everyone were comforting. He didn't know how, but now there was no other way, and he could only wait for the final outcome tomorrow. Before that, it was useless to think about anything. The emperor was the one who really took charge of the Ming Dynasty, and only the emperor could protect him. But when he thought that he had gone to the Qing Palace to seek the emperor, he was turned away, and his mind was still up and down. The Madam Fengsheng did not send anyone to pass on a message. After reading it, everything seemed to be in the fog, which made him more and more difficult for him to rest.

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was uneasy, Li Yongzhen stepped forward and comforted, "Don't worry, Qiansui, Yuan Dahai's method will work! Yang Lian's group of people are just strong outside and the middle. If they really see the five hundred swords and axe masters, they are afraid that they will collapse without fighting. If they only overcome the hurdle of tomorrow, we will be able to recover from the dead."

When Li Yongzhen mentioned Yuan Dahai, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly looked at him and asked, "How is Yuan Dahai?"

"Yuan Dahai locked Meng Zhong and Zhang Wenyuan in the internal custody. He is currently being tried for Qi Huanyou. I expect that there will be a result tonight." As he spoke, there was a strange smile in Li Yongzhen's eyes.

"Meng Zhong will not betray our family. Our family has no other skills, but he still has a clear understanding of others."

Wei Zhongxian was still worried when he said this. He still didn't believe it when he said that Meng Zhong betrayed him, but it was a fact that Qi Huanyou's dog was connected to the outside court, and it was also a fact that people hid in the internal officials' supervision, which made him believe it a little. In addition, the prince and Li Yongzhen also said that Meng Zhong was unreliable, so he could only let Yuan Dahai take a good trial. Subconsciously, he still hoped that the person who made slander on the emperor was not Meng Zhong, but if he really tried it, he would naturally not be able to keep Meng Zhong.

"Prince, the other yamen have almost solved it?" Wei Zhongxian asked again.

Wang Tigan replied: "I'm already doing it according to Qiansui's wishes."

"Well, okay, these bastards dare to betray our family, and our family will not allow them to let them go! Tell Yuan Dahai that those who have affairs are killed, those who have no affairs are sent to Nanhaizi, and those who are not clear will be driven out of the palace. Even if our family cannot overcome this hurdle tomorrow, they will also bring these bastards to be buried with them!" In the end, Wei Zhongxian's face was full of murderous intent, which was completely different from the kind and amiable old farmer before.

"Yes, Chitose!"
