Chapter 1304: Carrying a spear and carrying a thorn
When Yu Wenyong returned home again, the entire mansion was already in a state of turmoil caused by the mother and son.
Yu Wenzhi was about to go out again to discuss the follow-up actions with his companions, but was blocked by the slaves. He was furious. When he was about to break out of the door, the slaves blocked the door with their bodies and blocked the mother and son. They are all under house arrest in this inner courtyard.
This move naturally angered the mother and son even more. She scolded Yuwen Yong for being unfilial and allowing his slaves to insult their mother. Yuwen Zhi even slashed at the slaves blocking the door with his sword.
Although the slaves had been warned by Yu Wenyong, they did not dare to be too rude and could only retreat continuously, either taking their mounts away or locking the carriage, and the gate of the mansion was tightly closed.
After Yu Wenyong arrived home, he saw that the door of his house had been chopped and smashed by Yu Wenzhi's servants. His mother, Chinu, also ordered the slaves to pack their clothes and luggage and move out of Yu Wenyong's house with an angry face.
Seeing the messy scene at home, Yu Wenyong's mood became even worse. He first signaled Yu Wenxian to lead the imperial guards to wait outside, then walked back home. What greeted him was a scolding from his mother, and Yuwen. Straightforward sarcasm.
Yu Wenyong knelt in front of his mother with his head lowered, and cried out sadly: "Mom, my son is unfilial! Now that everything has happened, even if my son wants to protect and rescue him, it is already beyond his power. What unfulfilled wish does my mother have? , please tell me now. If I can do it, I will try my best to be satisfied. If I can't, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can only look forward to the afterlife..."
"What are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about? Who is leading the troops outside? Isn't it Vagatu? You two are trying to scare me!"
Seeing her son's appearance, Chi Nu's arrogance suddenly dropped, and her expression became shocked and suspicious.
Next to him, Yu Wenzhi shouted angrily: "My mother does not need to be intimidated by his threatening words. He is timid and endures humiliation and lives in peace, but he wants his family to be embarrassed with him! I also have a big house in the capital, which is enough to support my mother. Until now, After the thing is done, we will return to the palace together with my mother, and there will be no need to have any contact with each other from now on!"
As he spoke, he ordered his followers to drag the carriage to the side, preparing to take his mother away from here, turning a blind eye to the imperial guards outside the courtyard.
However, at this moment, an arrow suddenly shot from the outside and penetrated directly into the back of the follower's heart. The man immediately fell to the ground and died.
After Yu Wenxian shot Yu Wenzhi's follower with an arrow, he put away the strong bow in his hand and walked into the courtyard. Looking at the stunned mother and son, he said in a deep voice: "The emperor's order, those who disobey will be killed! Don't make things difficult for them anymore!" Fourth brother, I took the initiative to ask for orders to come here because I was afraid that other criminals would enter the house and humiliate me. If you still refuse to submit to the law, you are just making a mistake! It is the right plan to return to the supervisor quickly and explain the case. The only way to do so is to be respectful and submit to the law. My brother and I are outside. Only then can we plead for mercy, otherwise it will be too late to regret it if we lose all our furniture!”
"This, this... is this really that serious? Will my son die? Doesn't His Majesty remember the old friendship with my late lord?"
Seeing the dead people, Chinu finally became panicked. He was no longer as irritable as before, his face turned pale, and he looked at Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenxian pitifully.
Next to him, Yu Wenzhi was also fighting with each other. He glanced at the entourage who died on the spot and did not dare to say anything, but glared at Yu Wenxian with a spiteful look.
"It is precisely because our family was sheltered by the old love left by our late father that my mother underestimated the many dangers in the world. My brother, what he did has really exceeded the standards of the protection of the old love, and my mother still condoned it. , the whole family will be punished!"
Yu Wenyong saw that the mother and son finally realized their shock, so he said in a deep voice: "The situation is still somewhat recoverable. Let's report the matter to Yousi as soon as possible, or we can ask for a lighter sentence. Otherwise, we will be asking for death. We can't do anything." Live it!”
"My... son, please stop messing around. Listen to your brother, listen to your brother's arrangements! My mother no longer wants the title of mistress, nor does she want your brother to inherit your father's title. She only wants to be good. , Live peacefully!”
After hearing this, Mrs. Chinu became even more panicked. She stepped forward and took her eldest son's arm. She said with a sad and frightened face: "My son should know that I always stay at home and rarely go out. I only heard about this matter from your brother. Do you want to go to the Criminal Division to wait for your fate? "
"Mom, please don't worry. I will try my best to rescue my mother as soon as possible!"
Yu Wenyong held his mother's arm with his backhand and comforted her with a warm voice.
Although the facts are indeed as her mother said, even if she goes to the Criminal Division, she has nothing to explain, and judging from the Supreme Lord's intention, she has no intention of taking the opportunity to implicate his family. Even if his mother is indeed involved in something, she still has nothing to explain. You can wait for treatment at home.
But Yu Wenyong knew in his heart that his mother favored younger sons, and could not bear to see her son behind bars and being severely punished. If he left him outside, he would probably have to run for help, and he didn't know what trouble would happen, so it was better to leave it alone for the time being. Send them to the Criminal Division together. After this lesson, his mother must have learned to be more cautious, cultivate her character, and no longer get involved in any disputes easily.
Since it was the Imperial Army officers who came out of the palace to fetch someone, the mother and son were sent directly to the imperial censor's office in the imperial city. There is no prison in Yushitai itself, but because officials have to go to Yushitai for interrogation after being impeached, some buildings in Yushitai Yamen are used to temporarily house them, and can also temporarily hold cases with special status. suspect.
After bringing his mother and younger brother under control, Yu Wenyong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, even if the situation expanded in the future, his family would be protected from serious implication.
But when they moved to Longqingfang in the east of the city to rescue Gao Mi and arrest other dandy boys, things changed again. The soldiers who were sent to investigate the situation hurriedly returned to report that the Yongguo government had sent people in advance. Going to this other place, Gao Mi was sent to Jingzhao Mansion by them, Yu Lan was recalled home, and the other dandies were also driven away.
"It seems that the news has been leaked, so what should we do now? The Supreme Lord also promised to protect the dignity of Yongguo Gong before, but if he goes to seize Yu Lan now, I'm afraid there will be a conflict!"
Although Yu Wenyong was calm and thoughtful, he could not help but frown at this moment. Although he had taken the initiative to ask Ying out of the palace to pick up people in front of the Supreme Being, he actually did not want to be at odds with Yu Jin in his heart. After all, these were the human resources left by his father. Although he was not as consistent as the Supreme Supreme Being today, he was still doing it. Some daily human interactions are of great help to his family's situation.
Yu Wenxian lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head again and said, "Since my brother is going out on the emperor's order, he must carry out his mission to the end no matter what. If Master Yu is determined to protect his son who committed the crime, there is no need to say whether it is honorable or not.
I know that my brother has concerns and does not want to completely turn against these ancestral friends. But brother, have you ever thought about whether my brother will always have to make a living under the shadow of his late father and the protection of these old friends?
Today's world is undergoing great changes, and many current people who have no family to rely on are able to achieve meritorious deeds by relying on their own talents. Everyone is racing to advance, but I am slow to move forward. Even if I take it easy for a while, I will eventually become a low-grade person! "
After Yu Wenyong heard this, he sighed again, which showed that he had not yet completely made up his mind, but Yu Wenxian continued: "Our late father founded Guanxi and used the weak to control the strong, which is very powerful! Today's Supreme Being is even more powerful. A legend in the world, he entered the country alone and weak, worked diligently, and now his great achievements have been achieved!
Although I dare not compare myself to such a talented person, I often have ambitions that are not to be conformed to the conventional. The legacy of our late father can indeed make my brother soothing and calm, allowing him to move forward, but if he is stuck in this, he will only be a gentle cow and sheep after all, and cannot be used as a galloping eagle or dog! "
After Yu Wenxian listened to Yu Wenxian's persuasion, he also said in a deep voice: "You can't have it both ways, and it is inevitable that there will be gains and losses. The later the decision is made, the deeper the consequences will be. These types of things have been controlled in the past, and now the general trend has been determined. , How much more can I expect them to help me! Go straight to the Taifu's house, I am proud of myself and my brother, and I have the courtesy and authority to choose!"
In recent years, Yu Jin has no longer held any court positions. He only retains his honorary title, attends court meetings, and spends the rest of his time at home to recuperate. And all the sons under his sect have gradually become powerful. The eldest son Yu Shi serves as the minister of Honglu in the court, and the second son Yu Yi is in charge of the military government in Hebei. From the third son Yu Yi down, they all have their own influence. It can be said that the people are prosperous and the family is prosperous. prominent.
This time, Yu Shi heard some rumors in the imperial city after the court meeting. Especially when he heard that Jing Zhaoyin had changed his candidates, he felt more and more that the situation was not small. And after learning that his brothers were also involved, So he hurriedly returned home to inform his father and arranged for his servants to get out of the house quickly.
After Yu Lan returned home, Yu Jin also immediately began to ask about the cause of the matter. When he heard that they saw Gao Mi outside the Duke of Qi's mansion and kidnapped him, he smiled and said, "It's just children playing, there is a bit of a fuss." ”
But when he heard that a group of dandies were planning to take advantage of this opportunity to go to the court and want to reconsider the ownership of Duke Qi's heir, his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed the jade staff at hand and threw it at his son Yu Lan, and said angrily: "Your father only accepts the reward from the imperial court. He doesn't know life and death. How dare you talk about it so easily! Who else is the accomplice of the conspirator? Never see him again in the future!"
Before he had finished teaching his son, a servant came to report that brothers Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenxian were outside the house asking for an audience. One of the two brothers carried a thorn to plead guilty, while the other led the soldiers of the imperial army to surround the Yongguo Duke's mansion from the front and back.
After Yu Jin heard about this, his expression suddenly changed again. He didn't even bother to punish Yu Lan any more. He immediately walked out of the hall with his stick and went straight to the vestibule.
"Greetings to Taifu! I am ashamed that I have no way to teach my younger brother. I left my younger brother to serve under Taifu and have no ability to benefit the government. Instead, I was bewitched by Xiao Xiao and actually committed lawlessness. I am afraid that Taifu will be deceived by all the clever talkers and seductresses." I made a mistake and came to complain today. I beg Taifu to forgive me for my mistake. Now my brother has been sent to Lantai for trial, and I have informed the prince of your family, Yu Lan, and come to tell me."
Yu Wenyong was burdened with thorns. When he saw Yu Jinxing coming out, he immediately bowed to the ground and shouted loudly.
On the side, Yu Wenxian just crossed his hands and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "I have my armor on me, so it is inconvenient to pray. It is also for this reason that I came to the door today. The pillars of Taifu's country should know that the court's punishments are fair and wise. It’s all in vain, there’s really no need to hide in a dirty court or a dirty house!”
Yu Jin looked at the two brothers, one with a red face and the other with a white face, and his face froze slightly for a moment. After a while, he said angrily: "Where is the traitor? Why don't you lead him out quickly and lead him to Lantai!"
