Chapter 70 Zhang Mu Nian

Uncle Li Lin handed over the invitation to Wang Chong and left.

Wang Chong thought for a while, and went straight to the Duke of Wei's residence with more than 17,000 taels of gold. Unlike the Wang family who does not do business, Duke Wei has a wide range of business, helping Aluojia and Aluo Nuo to raise a large amount of food and transport it to the West. Such a large project involves all aspects, and it is really not Wang Chong who can complete it alone.

In this regard, Wei Hao is much better at it than himself.

Although Wei Hao is not that big on matters of the Wei family, he can decide by himself. But as long as it doesn't involve Wei's main business, and it's just some trivial matters, such as selling swords in Qingfenglou, Wei Hao, the young master of the Wei family, is still the master, and there is no need to ask Wei Guogong's permission.

Wang Chong didn't need the Wei family to do anything, just use their network-like business channels all over the country to purchase some food.

All the way to the west, about a moment later, I saw a huge mansion built with splendor and splendor. On the plaque above the gate, a black background with gold lacquer Wei characters clearly explained the identity of this house:

This is the Duke of Wei's mansion!

Although Wang Chong and Wei Hao were young, they grew up together. But Wang Chong rarely came to the Duke of Wei's mansion. The reason is very simple, Wang Chong's father Wang Yan and Wei Hao's father Wei Yuan did not deal with them.

When Wang Chong and Wei Hao were young, their relationship was good, but when Wei Hao's father sealed Wei Guogong, everything changed completely.

Duke Wei and his father were both very stubborn, and they often clashed with Wang Chong's uncle Wang Gen in the courtroom, so the relationship between the two families became more and more tense.

On the contrary, the relationship between Wang Chong and Wei Hao was not affected. Adults play with adults, children play with children.

It's just that the Duke of Wei can't go to the mansion.

Because Wei Guogong's character was different from his father's, although his father had a bad relationship with Wei Guogong, Wei Hao was always very welcome when he came to the Wang family.

Wang Chong's mother would also call him "Xiao Nian" with a smile and prepare a plate of cakes for him.

In the Wang family, the affairs of adults never involve children.

But Duke Wei was different. He loved the house and Wu, and hated the house and Wu. Wang Yan, the father who didn't like Wang Chong, didn't like Wang Chong very much.

That's why Wei Hao was banned together last time when Wang Chong made a fuss about robbing people's women!

Even the Duke of Wei said that Wang Chong was strictly forbidden to set foot in the Wei family!

However, this was not threatening at all to Wang Chong. He found a gate guard who Wei Hao "bribed" in private, Wang Chong passed the news in, and Wei Hao came out soon after.

"Wang Chong, why are you here!"

Wei Hao hurried out from the inside, his eyes full of surprise as he walked. Wang Chong used to go to the Eight Gods Pavilion to find him, and rarely came to his home.

After so long, this was the first time Wang Chong had come to the Duke of Wei's residence.

"Stop talking nonsense, get in the car quickly, I'm looking for you!"

Wang Chong waved his hand and scolded with a smile.

"Hey, it's just in time. It just so happens that I have something to look for you too!"

Wei Hao said.

"Oh?"

Wang Chong was surprised.

The two boys who grew up wearing a pair of trousers got into the carriage, closed the door, and the carriage drove forward.

"Wang Chong,

Last time you asked me to find a guy named Zhang Munian, first tell you, what exactly are you looking for him for? "

After entering the carriage, Wei Hao was the first to speak before Wang Chong could speak, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Did you find him?"

Wang Chong's body shook, and his face suddenly changed. When Wang Chong looked for Wei Hao, he was always smiling, but this time, he put away his smile and looked solemn.

Zhang Munian was a very important part of his plan, even more important to him than the poisonous Hyderabad ore and the "Destruction of Ghosts and Gods".

It's no exaggeration to say that although Zhang Munian didn't put much effort into it and left it to Wei Hao to handle it, Wang Chong cared about it most of all the plans.

"Well, found it!"

Wei Hao nodded.

He and Wang Chong grew up together, and they were all too familiar with him. He immediately felt the change in Wang Chong's body, and his whole person became serious.

But even after killing him, he couldn't understand why Wang Chong paid so much attention to such a small person as Zhang Munian.

"But let me tell you first, it was not found on any official list, but on death row."

Wei Hao said solemnly.

"Death jail?"

Wang Chong was stunned.

"Well, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have spent so long to find this person. If I hadn't been careful and looked through the previous name book, I might not have noticed this person at all. - This It's the file about him that I asked someone to copy, you can take a look."

Wei Hao carefully took out a file from his arms and threw it over. The dossier was well wrapped in a yellow leather envelope, obviously with care.

Wei Hao didn't care about these things at all. He was only interested in martial arts. But as long as this matter is explained by Wang Chong, he will definitely work hard to do it well.

"Wang Chong, I'm not talking about you. This person's situation is very special. All the little officials, the size of sesame and mung beans, actually embezzled more than 20,000 taels of gold. This is just a joke, and he is too daring. The imperial court You must know what the statutes do with such filthy officials."

"This person was detained by the Ministry of Punishment, and he will be beheaded after the autumn. Once he is on that list, even if my father is the prince of the dynasty, he will not be able to get it out. Although I don't know what you want to do with him, But Wang Chong, listen to my advice, don't go any further."

"A person will not be thrown into death row for no reason. There must be a reason for the rebellion in the imperial court. Too much contamination with this kind of person is not good for you or the Wang family!"

Wei Hao really didn't expect that the person Wang Chong was looking for was a death row prisoner, but he wasn't worried about himself.

Wei Hao was worried that Wang Chong was involved in these matters and would become an excuse for others to attack the Wang family.

Wei Hao grew up in such a family of princes and nobles. He had seen many political struggles, and he was familiar with it and understood a little bit.

The big tree attracts the wind, and it is definitely not a good thing for Wang Chong to be involved with a death row prisoner.

Wang Chong didn't speak, his face was solemn, he opened Zhang Munian's file and looked at it carefully. The Tang Dynasty was a prosperous dynasty, and the approval of this type of death row prisoner was very cautious. All the information must be investigated again and again to make sure that it was correct. Therefore, the information about Zhang Munian was very detailed.

"Unexpectedly, he is already fifty-four."

Wang Chong looked at the information on the dossier. Zhang Munian was older than he thought, approaching his twilight years. On the file, the information about his corruption is very detailed.

The evidence of embezzlement of more than 20,000 taels of gold is conclusive. Considering his humble position, he actually took advantage of the situation and embezzled so much, which is really shocking.

This is also the reason why the Ministry of Punishment has drawn him into custody and sentenced him to death.

But it is not that there are no suspicious places recorded in the dossier. 20,000 taels of gold is not a small amount. For ordinary people, there may be more than a dozen families, and they can't spend it all in a lifetime.

But Zhang Munian embezzled so much, but he couldn't see a trace of gold or silver on his body. His clothes are still very simple, and he eats and drinks like other colleagues, very simple.

In addition, when he searched his home, he also found that his house was surrounded by walls and lived in an old muddy house. There was nothing else in the house except a rice jar, two clothes compartments, and a sleeping bed.

The officials sent by the Ministry of Punishment did not find his more than 20,000 taels of gold after digging three feet of the ground, and no one knew where he secretly buried it.

Although the Ministry of Punishment still had doubts, in order to set an example, and Zhang Munian himself confessed, they sentenced him to death according to the law.

Seeing this, Wang Chong already understood. Regarding Zhang Munian, Wang Chong's senses did not change in the slightest, but he wanted to save him even more.

However, Wei Hao was right. Zhang Munian's situation is already a certainty, and he will surely die. Whether it is the Wei family or their Wang family, no one has the ability to scoop up people from the death row of the Ministry of Punishment.

However, Wang Chong knew that there was one last ray of hope in this matter.

"It seems that I can only go to King Song!"

Wang Chong thought of a person.

The King of Song is a royal family member and a royal family, and he speaks with great weight in the courtroom. Whether it was Wang Chong's father Wang Yan, his uncle Wang Gen, or Wei Hao's father Wei Yuan, it was incomparable.

More importantly, Wang Chong just knew that King Song also had certain jurisdiction over the Ministry of Punishment. It would have been completely different if this matter had been up to him.

"Wei Hao, you don't have to worry about this matter. I'll handle it myself."

Wang Chong took Zhang Munian's file into his arms and kept it close to him.

"Um."

Wei Hao nodded, thinking that Wang Chong had given up the idea, and his mood brightened:

"Hey, by the way, what are you looking for from me?"

Hearing Wei Hao ask this, Wang Chong couldn't help but laugh.

"Wei Xiaonian, it wasn't me who told you that I was beaten again. What? Is your cousin here again?"

Wang Chong smiled, staring at the red Yuhen at the corner of Wei Hao's eyes. The scar was still new. Wei Hao noticed it as soon as he got in the car. Although Wei Hao ruffled a bit of his hair and tried his best to cover it up, he couldn't hide it from Wang Chong's sharp eyes.

Wei Hao pretended hard for a long time, but was suddenly exposed by Wang Chong and collapsed.

"What nonsense are you talking about, I accidentally hit the door frame when I was going out."

Wei Hao was embarrassed and tried his best to hide it. As a result, Wang Chong laughed even louder.

"Hey, this is for you. Take it back, look carefully, and practice well."

Wang Chong pulled out a volume of books out of nowhere and threw it into Wei Hao's arms.

"what is this?"

Wei Hao caught it with both hands, very curious in his heart. After turning two pages, his face suddenly changed, and he was extremely excited:

"Martial arts! How can you have this!"

Wei Hao was overjoyed, he didn't expect that what Wang Chong threw to him was actually a scroll of martial arts! Ignoring Wang Chong, his face flushed with excitement, and he flipped over in his seat.
