Chapter 307 I am willing to kill my relatives for the sake of justice
Mr. Wen has been running around and making careful plans over the years, but his purpose has never been to help others.
He lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the burning ambition in them.
Yuzhu was trying to please him, and Mr. Wen was very pleased to have her delicate fragrance and softness in his arms.
He gently stroked Yuzhu's face and said with a smile, "Stay here quietly for now."
"I will find a way to send you back to the young master later."
"If you really can't go back to the young master, then just stay with me!"
After hearing Mr. Wen's words, Yuzhu felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill and was overjoyed.
Mr. Wen comforted Yuzhu and then got up and went to the next room.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, his expression turned cold.
If a chess piece loses its value, then it has no reason to exist!
Mr. Wen had been having people closely monitor the movements outside the Jinyu Tower. He learned that the soldiers had simply surrounded the building and did not allow anyone to enter or leave. Apart from that, there were no other actions.
Mr. Wen frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It's impossible for them to surround Jinyulou all the time."
"First, stay the same in the face of change, and then see what happens."
"Order our men to lie low and stay put!"
"When they make their next move, we will wait for the opportunity to act. Then we can leave Jinyulou first."
After receiving the order, the subordinate immediately conveyed Mr. Wen's intention.
Mr. Wen sat in front of the window, looking at the light of torches and the densely packed soldiers on the street through the half-open window, his eyes dark.
The sound of horse hooves was particularly loud in the silent night.
A group of people came from afar and arrived under the city wall in almost a moment.
The man on horseback shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness Prince Yi is here, open the city gate quickly!"
A fire suddenly lit up on the city wall, and a figure leaned out from the wall.
This person is Kaiyang, one of Xiao Jingyi's secret guards named after the Big Dipper.
He had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.
The firelight instantly illuminated Xiao Jingyi's face.
Kaiyang, who was standing on the city wall, immediately recognized Xiao Jingyi and ordered, "Open the city gate quickly!"
The heavy city gate was slowly opened.
Kaiyang immediately went down from the city wall to greet him.
When Xiao Jingyi saw Kaiyang, he asked, "How is the city going?"
Kaiyang bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, Jinzhou City has been taken over by the Jinzhou garrison."
"Tianquan and Tianxuan each led a team of men and have surrounded the Wen family mansion and the Jinyu Building."
"Half of the officials in Jinzhou Prefecture are addicted to the golden paste, so the people from the Shadow Blade Division in the yamen took over directly."
"The situation of the Jinzhou garrison is slightly better. None of the soldiers have ever been exposed to the golden paste. Only General Qin, who leads the army, and several of his lieutenants have become addicted to the golden paste."
"We have temporarily detained General Qin and his men. The Jinzhou garrison is now temporarily under the command of Zhaowu Colonel Dai Hongyi."
After hearing this, Xiao Jingyi nodded slightly.
"Let's go to the Wen family mansion first!"
The Jinyu Tower is a mixed bag of people, and it would take a lot of time to screen everyone inside.
Xiao Jingyi decided to leave Jinyu Tower alone for the time being.
There might be unexpected surprises.
In the Wen family mansion, Wen Zhiheng did not sleep a wink that night.
After an unknown amount of time, a group of people suddenly broke into the yard where he lived.
"Master Wen, His Highness invites you!"
The servants in the room were trembling with fear, but Wen Zhiheng was much calmer.
He glanced at the sky outside; it was still dark.
This night is so long and it’s not over yet!
However, it might not be a bad thing for him that His Royal Highness Prince Yi was interrogating him overnight.
Only a sharp knife can cut the Gordian knot.
Some things are naturally better explained as soon as possible.
If it is delayed for too long, it will be disadvantageous to the Wen family.
Wen Zhiheng stood up and picked up the mahogany box on the table.
In the main hall of the Wen family's front yard, Xiao Jingyi sat in the main seat.
As soon as Wen Zhiheng came in, he saw a handsome and dignified young man leisurely sipping tea.
Xiao Jingyi still had to work late at night, so naturally he had to drink a cup of strong tea to refresh himself.
Wen Zhiheng immediately guessed the identity of the man in front of him and bowed: "Student greets His Royal Highness Prince Yi!"
Although Wen Zhiheng did not enter officialdom, the Wen family is a century-old family, and Wen Zhiheng also has the reputation of a scholar.
Xiao Jingyi put down the teacup and thought about how Yun Fuling had treated this man before. When Yun Fuling went out to sea to find him, this man also helped with both manpower and effort.
Although Yun Fuling said that this was an exchange of interests, Xiao Jingyi remembered this favor in his heart.
However, Xiao Jingyi didn't show any of that on his face.
The teacup hit the tabletop, making a sound that was neither loud nor soft.
When Wen Zhiheng heard this voice, his heart skipped a beat.
"I heard that you are the eldest son of the Wen family. After the Wen family's patriarch passed away, you should have inherited the position of patriarch?"
Wen Zhiheng saw that Xiao Jingyi did not mention the things that the Wen family had done when he opened his mouth, but instead mentioned the matter of the head of the Wen family as if he was chatting casually.
He was unsure of what Xiao Jingyi meant, so he could only answer honestly, "It should be like this, but Wen's health is not good. He has been bedridden in recent years. It was not until I met a miracle doctor a few days ago that my health has improved."
"So the clan affairs will be managed by the uncle of the second branch during this period."
The rightful heir had his power taken away by someone else. It was not only embarrassing, but also made him appear incompetent.
But Wen Zhiheng had no choice. He was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed. Sometimes, if he said a few more words, he would gasp for air, as if he would be out of breath the next moment.
In this situation, he has the heart to fight for power, but he doesn't have the body to do so.
Other clan members were also unwilling to hand over the position of head of the family to him.
All Wen Zhiheng could do was to rest well and try to recover as soon as possible.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
When he recovers, there will be plenty of ways to regain the position of head of the family.
Otherwise, with a sick body, even if he tried hard to hold on to the position of the head of the family, the numerous and trivial affairs of the clan would only drain his energy and would not be helpful for his recovery.
But he never expected that he was not sick, but poisoned!
Xiao Jingyi sneered, "So what you mean is that you are completely unaware of what the Wen family has done?"
Wen Zhiheng's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "I failed to discipline my clan members. It is indeed my fault."
"Wen is willing to atone for his sins!"
He bent over and raised the mahogany box in his hand high above his head and presented it.
"Wen was ill and unable to detect the abnormality of his tribe members in time."
"It was not until last month that I heard some fragments of information. I felt something was wrong, so I asked my confidant to investigate."
"The contents of the box are what we have discovered this month."
"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Wen is willing to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice, to uphold the laws of the country and to rectify the style of the Wen family!"
Xiao Jingyi secretly raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking that Wen Zhiheng was quite interesting.
