Chapter 32 cold and warm

Reksheng had a smile on his face, but his hands under the table were already clenched, making a rattle. He could kill something sarcastic like Wei Ming. Since he came back, he was either sarcastic or scolded his family. Thinking of his close relationship, he considered that he had just lost the prefect's official and his personal assets were confiscated. Reksheng didn't want to conflict with him, but today's Mid-Autumn Festival, in front of such people, he was sarcastic and provoked his son and mother's relationship. Reksheng could no longer bear it.

"Haha, my brother is wrong. Why didn't I write it? Not only did I write it, but I also wrote it better. Otherwise, how could my brother and second brother still drink and chat here? It should be mined in the dark and humid mines in Southeast Asia." Rickson drank a glass of wine and said calmly.

"You...what do you mean!" Wei Ming stood up furiously after hearing this.

Rickson glanced at him, then put it on himself again, and said, "What does it mean? Isn't the meaning very clear? If it weren't for me, my elder brother would have been exiled long ago. How could you be arrogant here!"

"Liquidation? Why do I clean up? I, Wei Ming, was a Jinshi in the second year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty. I also studied hard for ten years and fought in the imperial examination. I was an official in Jiangxi. I was also diligent. The traitor from the East China Sea took my property. Do you want me to be grateful? A joke!" Wei Ming said angrily.

But Reksheng was not annoyed: "Brother is so backbone. He has the ability to go to the street and yell. What is the ability to do in the nest?"

"I don't have to go to the streets. Isn't there a thief at home?" Wei Ming glared at Leksheng.

Wei Yong knew that the new dynasty was powerful. That day, Li Jundu revived Nanjing, and the gentry and officials in Jiangnan arrested thousands of people and tens of thousands of people were implicated. If it weren't for the protection of Leksheng, he would have suffered. He quickly scolded: "Wei Ming, what are you talking nonsense? Are you not afraid of death? Will you still implicate more than seventy members of the Wei family?"

Wei Ming sat down with a smile and said, "Dad, what are you afraid of? Some people used to be reckless men who married into their residences, but now they are abandoned by Xinchao and have their teeth removed. What are they afraid of him doing? If it weren't for the sake of his sister, how could he be on the table today!"

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Wei Zhu, among the female family, couldn't help it, pulled open the screen and said angrily.

"After all, he is a married daughter, and his elbow is turning out." Wei Ming said disdainfully.

However, Leksheng laughed, shook his head helplessly, looked at Wei Zhu suspiciously, and said, "Do you didn't explain to the old man about me, or did the old man not explain it to the home?"

Wei Zhu immediately lowered her head: "What's there to explain? If you have anything to say about your life, you don't have to say anything."

In fact, the Wei family did not know Lei Kesheng, but knew that he had been working for the new dynasty for a long time. After the restoration, he avoided liquidation. However, most of the Wei family's real estate and real estate were liquidated, which also gave the Wei family a wrong signal that even the property in the family could not be kept. Lei Kesheng was not a big shot, but Wei Zhu knew about these things. Now it seems that she did not explain to Wei Yong at all.

Wei Zhu also had difficulties. Although the Xin Dynasty let the Wei family go, the glory and assets of the Wei family were gone. It was fake to say that he didn't hate him. Wei Zhu was worried that if his family knew about Reksheng's truth, he would be afraid that the family affection would not be able to be maintained, so he didn't say it.

"But you didn't say that these brothers didn't treat me as a family," said Rickson.

"What are you? You can become my Wei family!" Wei Ming said.

Reksheng didn't care about this. He looked around for a week and found that no one was talking to him. Even Wei Zhu pulled the corner of his clothes. Reksheng asked, "Wei Zhu, are you and me a family?"

"Of course," Wei Zhu said without hesitation.

Reikesheng nodded and said to Wei Yong: "My father-in-law, let's split up."

There was a silence in the room, only listening to the sound of the wind hitting the curtains. Before Wei Yong could react, Wei Ming stood up: "Just divide it, but the things in this house have nothing to do with you!"

Le Kesheng held Wei Zhu's hand: "It's enough to have Wei Zhu and Changsheng's mother and mother. Since my father-in-law doesn't speak, the eldest son of the house and the eldest son agrees, then it's time to part and say goodbye!"

After saying that, he pulled Wei Zhu away and went out. Leksheng said to Changsui: "You wait at the gate. When Changsheng comes back, you will take Liuji Inn in the west of the city to the west!"

"How is this good? How is this good?" Wei Cheng stretched his neck, watched the person disappear, and murmured to himself.

"Brother, can it be that the person named Lei has some unknown property outside, so he is so happy!" asked the second child of the Wei family.

"What are you talking nonsense? If he is such a person, will he still save you?" Wei Yong said angrily.

Wei Ming shook his head: "He? I think Changsheng is more powerful. Although the Xin Dynasty does not recognize the imperial examinations of the previous dynasty, Changsheng's reputation as a filial brother-in-law is outside. If our Wei family is not preserved, how can the Xin Dynasty talk about filial piety?"

"Filial piety? The new dynasty still cares about those things. Even the Kong family has been liquidated. If it weren't for the care of their ancestors and the sages, they would have been exiled. At this time, the entire Kong family was guilty of being in Qufu and was thinking about their mistakes behind closed doors!" said the well-informed Lao Wu.

At this moment, there was a voice outside. I thought it was Wei Changsheng who had returned. Wei Yong was sobbing and didn't know how to explain to his grandson. However, he saw the housekeeper in the mansion coming in and said, "Master, there is an official outside, saying it was from the General Administration Office of the General Administration."

"Xun Office, what kind of yamen is this?" Wei Yong asked in a question.

Several sons looked at each other: "I don't know."

"It's better to invite in. If you neglect it, it's not good." Wei Cheng reminded.

After a while, a young official came in and saw everyone having dinner. He kept complaining. After seeing the ceremony, he asked, "Why haven't you seen Chief Lei here? Isn't this the house of Chief Lei?"

"Sir, I wonder what advice?" Wei Ming's face darkened when he heard that he was coming to find Reksheng, but he didn't dare to get angry at will and asked in a low voice.

The official said, "I am from the General Administration Office of the General Administration, oh, it is probably equivalent to the Ministry of Personnel Inspection and Quotation Inspection Department of the previous dynasty. I came to see Gen. "

They didn't know about the Xun Office, but the Seal Office knew that this was the matter of holding the title, the title, the position, the title, and the eunuch.

"Search for the seal? What's the matter with him?" Wei Yong was puzzled.

"An angel came to the capital and summoned Chief Lei to see him." The official said with a smile.

"You're wrong. What's the matter with Reksheng? He's been dismissed?" Wei Ming smiled.

The official said: "It is precisely because of the dismissal that we are contacted by our Honor Office. After all, Chief Lei is still a third-class count in our country."

"Rook, Earl!" Wei Ming shouted, obviously incredible.

The official nodded slightly: "Yes, don't you know? No, the enthroned order has been out for more than half a month. I don't know where Chief Lei is, so I'm going to congratulate you here. I heard that it was the envoy appointed by His Majesty. Please ask Chief Lei to go to the office to contact us."

"Your Majesty's mission..." Wei Ming sat on the ground and murmured to himself.

Inn.

Wei Changsheng entered the room and heard his mother Wei Zhu still sobbing in a low voice. He had already learned something from Changsui, but he didn't want to say anything. Wei Changsheng thought that his father had done his best to the Wei family. If it were not for the safety and freedom of his uncles and family, he would at least be able to take charge of a prison sentence with his father's qualifications.

"Today I have really separated my relationship with the Wei family. Should Changsheng follow me or go to the Wei family?" asked Leksheng.

"Of course I'm with my parents." Wei Changsheng did not hesitate.

"Since that's the case, let's clean up. In two days, we will go north to the capital together." Leksheng said.

Wei Changsheng was stunned: "Beijing, how can I go to the capital?"

Reckson respectfully clasped his fists: "It was an errand given by Your Majesty, the director of Changping War Criminals Management Office!"

Wei Changsheng nodded slightly, and knew what kind of job it was, and he thought it was a prisoner. Wei Zhu said: "What kind of director is just a prisoner who cares about prisoners. Humph, although you saved your brother and others and violated the taboo of the new dynasty, you have worked for the new dynasty for more than 20 years and have worked hard and made great contributions. Why do you give you such a errand to commit suicide?"

"Yes, that's right, it's just a prisoner!" Reksheng laughed, poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Wei Zhu, and said, "But our prisoner is different from others. Do you know who I am looking at?"

Wei Zhu shook his head and said, "There are only two emperors, such as princes, princes, the eight banners, and the first-rank officials. They are stacked up, and this house cannot be stuffed. Let's put it this way, the princes and nobles of the two dynasties are now under my management. No one dares to say that, but it is true that they are unprecedented."

"What's the use of a famous name? You are so happy when you speak in the Wei family today, but you don't want anything. Let's go to the capital to drink the northwest wind." Wei Zhu wiped her tears.

Rickson hummed heavily: "I just don't want to argue with your elder brother. You don't know my temper. If you can talk a few words, I have to pull his thighs off and stuff them into his bird's beak!"

Bang!

Rickson slapped a bronze medal on the table: "With this thing, we won't have to worry about eating and drinking."

That was given when he was named a count. Wei Zhu put it in his arms and said, "Don't be stupid. You still want to rely on this to steal and rob. I will tell you that you can't do illegal things."

Rickson smiled and said, "Where do you want to go? I am a serious count. Tomorrow you take this card to the United Bank and report my name, and you can even come up with a low-interest loan of three to five thousand taels! You have to know that my count has a salary, a hard-core crop, and a very strong credit!"

Wei Zhu thought it was true. Anyway, the court paid the Earl's salary every year in the future, so it was impossible for the bank to not pay the money.

"Father, Mr. Qian should also be under the control of the War Criminals Management Office." Wei Changsheng asked carefully.

Reikesheng nodded: "That's natural. Qian Qianyi's three major traitors are under the jurisdiction of the War Criminal Management Office. He also knows that Qian Qianyi has taught you. You are grateful. If you want to work in the Management Office with your father, you can have the opportunity to take care of one or two."

"Can this work? I'll work in the institute too?" Wei Changsheng asked.

Rickson said: "Of course, my son is also a preparatory student at the Law School of the National University. Now the legal system is lacking in people. In fact, you can't learn for a long time and you have to practice at the grassroots level. Now, law students are not studying and judging cases.

Speaking of which, the War Criminal Management Office is a tough guy, and it is full of evil and cunning. If you settle all the people there, you might be able to take a law degree directly. Just do that. Anyway, you are a correspondence student, so where aren’t you going? By the way, ask your classmates, who are willing to go with me... If you go to an internship, find a few more, which is also a way to share the worries for your father.”

"Son understand." Wei Changsheng nodded repeatedly.

Jiaozhou, Shandong.

The north wind at the end of September became colder, making the prisoners of war in Jiaozhou tremble. During the Battle of the Three Emperors, they all wore winter clothes to fight. However, after being captured, the prisoners of war only distributed food, regardless of their clothes. In summer, everyone tore the winter clothes open, removed cotton, and changed it to single clothes. However, seven or eight months passed, and the cotton was gone, so it was no longer impossible to change it back to the cotton coat.

At dawn, a team of people entered the city, with a number of more than a thousand people, including cavalry and infantry. They drove prisoners of war out of tents and ground nests, drove away everyone with bayonets and flintlock rifles, and ignited all the buildings and facilities in the city. As various materials were ignited in piles, the prisoners of war were no longer cold, but no one knew what would happen in the future.

"Ma Jixiang, what's going on? Could it be that we're going to freeze to death?" A group of people came to Ma Jixiang and asked about the most informed prisoner of war. Ma Jixiang didn't know where to dodge. He didn't say anything. Suddenly, one person grabbed his neck and glared at him. Ma Jixiang immediately begged for mercy. This person was Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui.

"How could I know? I haven't been to the superiors for four or five days, but you don't think about it. If we want to kill us, we have to behead our heads. What's the point of freezing to death?" Ma Jixiang said carefully. Seeing Wu Yingxiong let go, he said, "It's probably because he has been transferred. Think about it, we have been locked up here for half a year, and we have no trial, no punishment, no punishment, what's the matter? You are all officials, and you should know where the death row prisoners are treated like this?"

"Yes, what Lao Ma said is that we must deal with us, but not here. So, we will definitely not freeze to death here, but we cannot wait to send it to the capital and execute it in Nanjing. Oh, I won't send it to Songjiang, right? I heard that the new dynasty has decided Songjiang as Beijing and named it Shenjing." One person said.

"Why do you say so?" Wu Yingxiong let go of Ma Jixiang.

Ma Jixiang said: "He was worried that the Xin Dynasty would raise Dagong to build a capital. Before Dagong, he would kill us to sacrifice to heaven and gods in order to seek blessings."

"Yes, I heard that overseas barbarians are like this, even the Japanese are no exception. The new dynasty started overseas, and maybe they were infected with the habits of foreign slaves."

"Stop being careless. If someone wants to sacrifice to gods and heaven, he should also find boys and girls. It is like someone who is too serious in killing like me, who is willing to ask for it!" Someone immediately refuted.
