[Qing Dynasty] Friends always come to chat with me in the middle of the night

When Wei Tong was summoned up, he was not surprised, but when he glanced at the screen that was about to be concealed, he knew that there must be a big man sitting behind him. As for who this big man is... he knew it well.

Guo Sihai looked at the plaintiff and the defendant being brought up, and chose to let the plaintiff speak first.After the fake Wei Ningai cried bitterly, the scene became silent and awkward for a while.After Guo Sihai coughed a few times, he said in a deep voice: "This case involves a huge span of time and place, and it is not sufficient to witness only this person. We need to send someone to investigate this point before we can reach a conclusion." Guo Sihai Si Hai only planned a formula for procrastination, when will be the procrastination time, in short, this matter cannot be concluded in his hands.

Although Wei Tong stood and listened quietly, he knew that this matter would never develop as Guo Sihai hoped.Everything that the fake Wei Ning said is based on the surface. If she travels thousands of miles to Jiangnan to investigate, almost all the things she said will be untenable.From the very beginning, the plan was to make a quick decision.Once dirty and stigmatized, people always sympathize with the weak, and Wei Tong never ignores the fear of public opinion.

Sure enough, the fake Wei Ning fell to the ground after Guo Sihai's words, weak and pitiful, "My lord, there are all the witnesses and evidences, why can't I give my concubine a clean slate? The concubine's child hasn't returned yet. Being around my concubine, my heart aches unbearably. Is it possible that my lord favors him because of being in the officialdom?" Guo Sihai has long been an old fritter, so naturally he will not get angry because of this insignificant sentence, just However, he was still a little dissatisfied with being questioned like this, and immediately said: "You said that he and you are brother and sister, besides what you just said, do you have any evidence? Anyone who is a personal servant will know the characteristics of his body, and the evidence is not sufficient. "He shot at Chen Daniu, the meaning behind his words was very obvious.

Fake Wei Ning's complexion changed slightly, and he said after a while of silence: "If the lord speaks like this, then the concubine is willing to confess his innocence with his elder brother, and he can also confess his innocence with the child, and see if it is true." Not a concubine's child."

As soon as this remark came out, there was even a slight movement behind the screen.Of course, the emperor was not the only one behind the screen. Several important court officials and Shuntian Fu Yin were all behind Kangxi.Recognizing relatives by dripping blood has always been used as a last resort. As soon as the woman said this, it was almost confirmed.

Guo Sihai's eyes fell on Wei Tong calmly, and Wei Tong said: "Then let's confess with blood."

The situation was stalemate, and Guo Sihai didn't intend to pay attention to it anymore. He ordered people to prepare everything, and then let the two of them walk in the middle, "You each cut your fingers and let the blood pool in them." Fake Wei Ning did not hesitate to do it , Such neat movements formed a little contrast with the previous delicate appearance.Wei Tong pulled out the dagger that was placed beside him, looked at the fake Wei Ning who was holding the wound with a handkerchief and looked up at him, and smiled faintly.

Wei Tong seldom smiles. After leaving the palace, he has indeed become more active. The hard shell that was originally closed and protective has been broken in the ordinary years, but such a beautiful thing as a smile has rarely appeared on him.It was more of a helpless smile, a self-deprecating chuckle, but such a leisurely and light smile today is rare, except in front of Kangxi, he had never shown such a smile.His eyes seemed to be looking at the fake Wei Ning, but she felt as if she saw something behind her through her, and behind her, there was only a large screen to block all prying eyes.

This screen is very strange, it looks like an ordinary screen from the outside, but the people inside can vaguely see the appearance of the outside, it is a treasure specially found by Guo Sihai for the emperor.Kangxi's gaze penetrated the screen, and leisurely landed on Wei Tong, with a little turmoil in his heart.

The next moment, a few drops of blood fell into the water, fluttered for a long time, and finally merged with the blood drops that fell on the bottom of the pelvis at the beginning, as if they came out of the same place in the first place.When Guo Sihai saw this situation, his heart sank suddenly. Could it be that Wei Tong is really such a person who cares nothing about human relationships?Even though he has always held the mentality of procrastination, Wei Tong is someone Kangxi valued, so he always thought that someone was framed, but this one is like a mountain of ironclad evidence.

Behind the screen, everyone couldn't help discussing in low voices, but Kangxi who was sitting in front of him was as motionless as a mountain, as if he didn't see the current scene.Wei Tong looked at the fused blood in the basin, and before he could speak, the fake Wei Ning said: "My lord, take a look, I am not lying! I implore you to let my child recognize his relatives with a drop of blood!" , so as to prove that it is my concubine’s child.” Wei Tong said softly: “The result of this drop of blood recognition has already shown my relationship with you, even so, you still hope that the child can come to try with a drop of blood?”

Wei Tong's question was originally inappropriate, but Guo Sihai didn't interrupt him, and the fake Wei Ning also replied: "Just now, my lord's doubts have proved that the evidence is insufficient. Only in this way can I prove my innocence." At the same time, Guo Sihai had asked someone to bring the child up.

Xiao Ke was originally detained in Shuntian Mansion, but luckily Chen Cha came with him. It was Chen Cha who took care of the child that night, and it happened that Xiao Ke was not an ordinary child, and he didn't cry endlessly, but was depressed. After being carried up once, looking at Wei Tong standing next to the basin was a little aggrieved, his eyes were red and he looked very pitiful and cute.

Guo Sihai originally just glanced at it. The concubine in his own backyard had just given birth to a child for him, so he subconsciously glanced at it, but the next moment he turned back immediately, with surprise in his eyes, and carefully looked at it. Take a closer look at the child.Wei Tong's focus was on Xiao Ke, so he didn't notice it.Fake Wei Ning said again softly: "Since the child is here, my lord, why don't you try?"

A drop of cold sweat fell from Guo Sihai's forehead, his eyes slid around the screen, and a bold guess arose in his heart. Could it be that this child is...whether it is or not, he will never touch this child again .Thinking of Shuntian Fu Yi keeping the child in the prison for so long, he couldn't help cursing secretly, he would really make trouble for him!He coughed twice, slapped the gavel, and said angrily: "Wei Shi, is this child really your child? If you were the child's biological mother, how could you be so cruel to operate on the child? And this child How could he be so close to you instead of Wei Tong?"

Fake Wei Ning was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to say for a while.However, after she calmed down, she squeezed the handkerchief and said: "My lord is right, I was blinded by hatred for a while, the child is the flesh that fell from my body, how could I not love him? I think it's because my concubine elder brother said something to the child during this time, so the child is so indifferent." She said, tears fell from her eyes again.Such an explanation is reasonable, not to mention that the evidence in the water in front of him cannot be obliterated no matter what.

Wei Tong stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Ke's little hand, Xiao Ke started giggling, and Xiao Nen's face turned rosy, after comforting the child, Wei Tong just turned to look at the fake Wei Ning, "Could it be that you think that with this blood, We can recognize our relationship?" This statement made everyone present puzzled, what does this mean?Wei Tong pulled Chen Cha to the side of the basin, and said in a deep voice: "The guard of the humble position and the humble position must have no blood relationship with this woman, so let's see what happens to his blood." , and immediately held the child in one hand, while holding the blade in the other to force out the blood.

Within a few seconds of dripping into the water, the blood quickly mixed with the large drop of blood on the pelvic floor, just like the previous scene reappearing.

All of a sudden, the scene was silent, and the fake Wei Ning's face turned pale.

"It's impossible!" It wasn't Guo Sihai who said this, but what a certain minister sitting behind the screen couldn't help saying.The ancient method of blood recognition has been passed down for many years, and what happened before my eyes is really incomprehensible.

Wei Tong glanced at the water basin, and said softly: "There are always differences between people, and the blood between brothers and sisters is not exactly the same. There will always be slight differences, and there will be times of incompatibility. The method of confessing relatives by dropping blood is not very accurate, and there are just some things in the world that can be used here to mix the blood together. What is the thing in your nails?" The last sentence is Said to fake Wei Ning.The voice is gentle, but to Wei Ning, it is like a clarion call for death.

Guo Sihai looked very upset at the farce in front of him, and now everything has returned to the starting point, and the plaintiff has also been charged with deception. Although the doorway here can be seen at once, it is still difficult to judge.In this world, it is always much more difficult to prove existence than to prove non-existence.Before he finished thinking about the next step, a small official came in from the door, trotted to Guo Sihai's side under great pressure, and whispered something, Guo Sihai hesitated again and again, and asked the small official to bring him in.

When Wei Tong heard this, although he had some premonitions in his heart, when the man really stepped into the lobby, he still couldn't suppress the burning in the corners of his eyes.The woman was wearing a strong outfit, as if she had just returned from riding a horse. Her high hair was not as heroic as imagined, but it was more elegant and charming.He moved neatly while walking, and approached the hall in the blink of an eye.

Wei Ning, the silly little sister he had been looking forward to for ten years, has grown up and is back... finally back.

When the beautiful woman saw Wei Tong, she blinked her eyes quietly, and the corners of her eyes turned red, but she still smiled and said, "Brother, long time no see." Following the words, she bowed in Wei Tong's direction, and it turned out to be Kneel down.Wei Tong walked forward in two or three steps, and hurriedly supported Wei Ning, his voice was so soft that he said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back." The last voice was choked with almost inaudible sobs.

The two also knew that this was not the time to talk, so they walked back together after only saying these two sentences.Wei Ning bowed to Guo Sihai, and said softly: "Wei's Aning, my lord." Guo Sihai had already been informed by the small official before, so he was not surprised, but said, "Your name is also Wei Ning?" Wei Ning Said: "Exactly, this concubine is also Wei Tong's only younger sister, but I have never heard of it. There is also a sister with the same name and surname as my concubine."

"How do you prove that you are Wei Tong's younger sister?" Guo Sihai said interestingly. It was the first time he had seen the case for several years.

Wei Ning pulled out a piece of jade from his neck, then took it off, and said: "Both my body and my elder brother have this piece, and the one on him is Tong, and the one on my concubine's body is Ning. My lord, look at it." You know." Wei Tong also untied the jade from his waist.It is said to be jade, but it is actually jade pendant.Wei Tong looked at the things presented before Guo Sihai's case, but thought of Kangxi in his heart.In order to deceive him, even this item was forged. If Wei Ning hadn't seen Wei Ning wearing it today, Wei Tong would really have thought that jade pendant was real.

Guo Sihai took a closer look, and found that the two things were exactly the same. They had been worn for some years, as if they were made by the same master, and they both looked so smooth and attractive after being worn close to the body for a long time.He nodded, this is much more believable than fake Wei Ning's deceitful blood confession.

"My lord, I have a few words to ask the plaintiff next to me, please allow me." Wei Ning bowed again and said softly.Guo Sihai stroked his beard and agreed.

Wei Ning turned around and looked at the fake Wei Ning, with a smile, "You said you are Wei Ning, and you have been imprisoned and ravaged by your brother for many years, so let me ask you, how many scars does my brother have on his body? What is my favorite food on weekdays? What? When is he used to going to bed? What does he do every March [-]th?" This series of questions immediately overwhelmed the woman, who stood there in a daze, speechless.

"Let me ask you again. According to what you said, you have been with my brother for many years. Then when my brother was born and died in the south of the Yangtze River and entered the plague-stricken land many times, where were you? My brother loudly dissuaded Geng Jingzhong in the Prince Geng's mansion in Fujian." Where were you when you took refuge in the imperial court? Where were you when my brother stood at the foot of the Saibei Army? As long as you can tell, I will definitely find someone to find out and ask for an explanation." The voice asked , in the end it was no longer asking fake Wei Ning.Wei Tong heard Wei Ning's self-blame, she was asking what she had done for Wei Tong in the past ten years.

It is always useless when a woman's nonsense is entangled with the woman's finger-wrapping.

Guo Sihai already knew the ending, he slapped the gavel, and said angrily: "Plaintiff Wei, all your accusations are groundless, and Zhang Daniu's accusation is just a family statement. , I must have something wrong in my heart, so hurry up and recruit!" The ear-splitting sound made the woman tremble, and finally fell to her knees on the ground in vain.Wei Ning's appearance completely shattered the woman's self-confidence, and the original brilliance on her face also completely faded, her whole face was pale, and her tone was weak.

She was originally a girl from a brothel, and was raised as a prostitute.After being bought by a man, it was sent to a mansion.After raising her for a period of time, the master gave her about Wei Tong's life, and asked her to memorize it before telling her about it.Of course she refused at first, but of course it is more important to live in the face of death.After several times of training, the master's family was finally satisfied, and suddenly heard that a child had appeared in the Wei family, and they added a bargaining chip without doing anything, so they sent her out.

When it came to the end, the woman broke down in tears, "The master clearly said that Wei Tong has no power or influence. He was just a businessman at first, and even after practicing on the battlefield, he has no connections. This matter will definitely come to fruition within a day or two. The power is also helpless."

Guo Sihai asked again: "Who is that man's name and where does he live?" The woman said one by one.Wei Tong was listening beside him, but he knew that this person would never be found.And although it seemed that only these two people were found, in private, all his old friends must have been searched.No one knew Wei Ning's identity, but Wei Tong didn't try to hide the fact that Wei Tong had a younger sister. Who would know that someone would think of throwing such dirty sewage.

All of Wei Tong's identities on the surface were fabricated for him by Kangxi at that time. They were true and false, and he had some vague impressions of the so-called neighbors, so no one could find out.The fact that he had a younger sister was originally a secret, but it must have been heard a few times when he spoke carelessly on weekdays, and he knew that a younger sister was missing.Anyway, the person who framed him doesn't need to know too much, and at first he just wanted to finalize the case within a few days. Once the case is finalized, who can retract Wei Tong's confession?

It's just that no one expected that behind Wei Tong, there would be the support of the emperor!

After the woman couldn't hold back, Zhang Daniu couldn't hold back and confide the truth.He did wake up at night and heard something, but it was about Wei Ning.He didn't dare to listen carefully, but he only knew that Wei Ning, a younger sister of the master's family, was missing.Other ins and outs are unknown.Two years ago, he couldn't get along in Hangzhou, and was caught when he was about to go out for a walk.After asking a lot of questions, he was taken to the suburbs of Beijing and locked up for a period of time. After that, someone asked all the questions about Wei Tong carefully. After that, he became a false witness with the woman.

Guo Sihai sent people to arrest him, but just as Wei Tong guessed, the house had long since become empty, and the people inside had long since disappeared, and because of the low-key on weekdays, no one could find out what happened. Where to go, completely disappeared.

However, the case finally came to an end. Guo Sihai judged that the plaintiff had committed a false accusation and was suppressed to wait for retrial.However, Wei Tong was completely innocent.After Wei Tong heard the result, he bowed and saluted, "Thank you, sir."

Guo Sihai's eyes couldn't help but fell on the child who was being held by the attendants, and when he heard this, he quickly said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and it's what I should do to restore your innocence. .”

At this time, Kangxi's deep and majestic voice suddenly came from behind the screen, "Except for that child Wei Tongtong, everyone will step down." The emperor did not speak from the beginning to the end, and everyone was stunned by this sudden sentence. However, no one hesitated, stood up quickly, and planned to retreat after saluting.

However, after stepping out of the screen, someone glanced at the child inadvertently, but he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. Someone pushed him lightly from behind, "Master Chen, why are you standing still?" He immediately trembled twice. Down, shook his head and backed out.However, the cold sweat on the back of the palm spread all over in an instant, like falling into an ice cellar.

Wei Ning was very reluctant, but still withdrew, and said softly before leaving: "Brother, I'll wait for you at Wei Mansion." Naturally, Wei Tong agreed.

After taking over Xiao Ke and letting Chen Cha back down, there were really only three people left in the lobby.Wei Tong sighed helplessly, and walked in front of the screen with the child in his arms. This scene is so familiar, it has not been like this for many years.

"Xuan, are you angry?" Kangxi certainly didn't like such plain words.

"What do you say?" The words that seemed to be smiling but not smiling made Wei Tong not know what to say for a while. After muttering, he softened his tone, "I was wrong about this matter. Did not control the servants well."

"Am I angry because of this?" Kangxi walked around the screen and stood in front of Wei Tong, his handsome face was expressionless, and his gaze fell lightly on Xiao Ke.Wei Tong noticed the instant heat, and just about to say something, Xiao Ke started to giggle, "Xuanxuan, Xiao Ke misses you so much." He leaned on Wei Tong lovingly, but couldn't help pointing at Kangxi acted like a baby.

He is used to acting like a baby to Wei Tong and Kangxi.

Unknown emotions flashed in Kangxi's eyes, but he finally dissipated the chill from his body. He took a few steps closer and stood in front of Wei Tong. He took Xiao Ke who rushed over and snorted coldly, "If not Today, how long are you going to keep this matter from me?" Wei Tong smiled awkwardly, unable to answer.

"Since you know that someone is targeting you, why did you obediently jump in? Why didn't you let Chen Cha and Chen Yu report to me?" If Chen Yu hadn't entered the palace in time, then the news he has received now is that Wei Tong has been punished Plea news!Even if Wei Tong refuses, someone will always snap off his fingers to sign the pledge!

The gloomy pain between Wei Tong's eyes and Kangxi's eyebrows suddenly seemed to be pricked by a needle. The pain made him pale, and his tone was unconsciously stagnant, "It's my fault." He knew his importance to Kangxi.In a person's life, there will always be a little entanglement, he is in Kangxi, and Kangxi is in him.In the long time, Wei Tong and Wei Ning, and friends, and Chen Su, even after that, I don't know how many friends I have.However, for Kangxi, apart from Xiaozhuang, there was really only one Wei Tong left.

Kangxi held Xiao Ke in his arms, looking tenderly at the child who resembled him as well as Wei Tong.Even though he knew that the few people who went out just now were full of doubts, he was even happier.

This seems to be the child of the two of them.

And looking at the fear of the words on Wei Tong's face, he was really scared.

The kiss fell on Wei Tong's lips softly, very lightly, and so fast that it was almost impossible to react.Kangxi looked at Wei Tong who retreated a few steps backwards, his eyes lingered on his red ears for a long time, and said casually: "I won't force you, but don't scare me with your life. In this way, I don’t even want to let you out of the palace gate.”

Wei Tong didn't react to the kiss at all, and the retreat after that was all subconscious behavior.He was embarrassed and helpless, and he didn't know where to put the hands covering his face after they were put down.

Kangxi laughed lightly, his low smile was very comfortable.He handed Xiao Ke back to Wei Tong, bent down and said something to Xiao Ke, then stood up and looked at Wei Tong, "I know your entanglement, and I know your knot."

"I won't keep you waiting too long."

The soft words revealed infinite coldness, which made Wei Tong subconsciously grab Kangxi's sleeve.Kangxi smiled and attacked Wei Tong again. Seeing Wei Tong's cheeks flushed instantly when he kissed him to the earlobe unexpectedly, he left with a smile.

Standing in the hall, Wei Tong helplessly covered his face with one hand. The words "Mirror Hanging High" on the plaque behind his back seemed to be mocking his behavior just now, but it made Wei Tong even more startled that Kangxi's words just now revealed countless Chill.
