Chapter 480 Simple Problems
Liu He didn't know how to answer, so Cai Yong spoke first.
"In-law, please pay attention to your words."
There is no discrimination against women remarrying these days, but women who are raped are very different. Even in the 21st century when Liu He was in his previous life, people treat such women with tinted glasses, let alone this era?
Wei Jian's words meant nothing, but it was so naked in terms of words that it was really unexpected. Even if he said "uncharacteristic" there was nothing wrong. As Cai Yan's father-in-law, Cai Yong was so excited to love his daughter, so he was naturally unhappy. (The godmaid knew that "explosion" was a typo, but it seemed that using the word "explosion" would block it, so he replaced it.)
Wei Jian apologized.
"Sorry, I was angry for a moment and said that I was not using the words properly. Don't blame me. You, Wei, Cai, and Zhong, and the three masters of calligraphy and painting today, sharing honor and disgrace, so I am even my daughter-in-law. How can I disrespect me?"
Liu He smelled an unusual smell from his words.
"In just a few words, the Cai family and the Wei family were tied together. What exactly did he want to do?"
Wei Jian turned his head and looked at Liu He with some seriousness.
"General, is it true that I dare to ask what I ask about?"
Liu Hesi thought about it all over the place, but in the end he could only tell the truth.
"Yes, it's true, but..."
Before he could say the second half of the sentence, Wei Jian became furious.
"What a thief, a military general in the court, he actually robbed a woman from a civilian family. He was simply unrighteous and harmed the heavens. The poor dog's corpse was not cold, and he would suffer such a great humiliation..."
As he spoke, the old guy seemed very sad and covered his face and started crying.
Xun Yu looked around and found it was not convenient for Liu He and Cai Yong to explain this matter, so he could only stand up as an "outsider".
"Mr. Wei does not have to be sad. Although the Huns are hateful, the lord sent troops in time and finally rescued Ling's daughter-in-law. As for the crimes committed by General Wang Han, the lord has escorted him to Beijing and imprisoned him. After he was about to visit the two elders, he was punished according to the law. Since the two of you are visiting the door today, you just explain the matter clearly."
"Yes, my lord has always been very strict in the military, and has the national law. Although this Wang Han has made many military achievements since the Yellow Turban period, he has been sick and has unclear consciousness. However, as long as he violates the national law and military discipline, the general will be severely punished and give an explanation to both of them."
Cui Jun deliberately accented the eight words "I have made repeated military achievements and are confused."
Wei Jian looked at Xun Yu and Cui Jun with a bad expression.
"I have also heard for a long time that the general has strict rules and fair actions, and he also has absolute trust in this."
Liu He bowed and said, "Sir, you are over-reputable."
Wei Jian suddenly changed his voice, bringing a hint of questioning tone.
"I'm brave enough to ask, I wonder what the general wants to deal with this thief?"
When he asked, Cai Yan raised his head slightly and looked at Liu He with some expectations, as if he was very concerned about it.
Liu He and he looked at each other for a long time, and Xun Yu and others seemed to be able to see the confrontation between the two of them.
"According to national laws, soldiers forcibly robbed civilian women, but no one was killed or injured. They were punished with fifty poles and their military registration was removed."
Cai Yan looked unbearable, and although his expression changed very subtly, Liu He also saw it.
Wei Jian smiled slightly: "The General is indeed familiar with the law. But I heard that the general's military law seems to be more severe than the national law. I wonder if it is correct?"
"Yes, that's true. In our army, those who have committed crimes of robbing people's daughters and those who have indeed destroyed their innocence will be beheaded regardless of their rank or rank."
"Okay!" Wei Jian applauded.
"Since that's the case, when will the General beheaded this Liao for public display?"
"Hmm?" Everyone present was stunned.
Cui Jun said: "Mr. Wei may not have heard clearly that if he robs a woman from a civilian, he will be beheaded if he does destroy his innocence. However, as far as I know, General Wang Han does not seem to..."
Having said this, he looked at Cai Yan and omitted the last few words. It seemed that it was indeed inconvenient to say it directly in front of Cai Yan.
"Master, this..."
When Cui Jun encountered this situation, he looked embarrassed.
Wei Jian said with a hint of coldness: "What? Does the general want to use his power for personal gain and protect his subordinates? Are you not afraid of making people in the world cold if you ignore the laws and military disciplines of the country and bully others with your power?"
His aggressive attitude suddenly caused an unknown fire to make Liu He feel at a loss, and he also fully understood his motivation for suddenly visiting today.
Liu He glanced at Cai Yan, and saw that she was hesitant, so he could only sigh secretly.
"After all, I was a woman. In front of her father and father-in-law, she explained the matter that night so clearly. It was really not something that ordinary people could have the courage to do. This old man was sure that Cai Yan would not speak, and at the same time he believed that I would care about the face of the Cai family. This seems to be a very simple problem. If you are not careful, the Cai family, a family that was originally neutral, might change their position. This is forcing the Cai family to make a choice with me. It is really easy to plan."
He said to Cai Yong and Wei Jian with a calm face: "The military discipline is very clear. If anyone really destroys people's innocence, he should be beheaded. I wonder what the two gentlemen mean by this?"
Cai Yong bowed his hands and seemed to want to speak, but Wei Jian spoke first.
"What does the general mean? The general is in charge of the military power of the court. Now that the soldiers under his command have had such a scandal, it has ruined the reputation of our guards and the Cai family. My brother did not mention this matter in the court with Censor Cai because he trusted the general to do his job impartially. What is the reason for the general to delay now?"
Speaking of this, his face turned completely dark.
"The general is now in a high position, and the power of the court is in his hands. He is a divine weapon on behalf of the way of heaven. He is a relative of the Han Dynasty. Even if he goes further, no one can object. The general wants to be favoritism and abuse his power, but I, Wei, can do nothing, but the world is full of people and can distinguish it!"
Xun Yu and Cui Jun immediately changed their qualities and stood up at that time.
"Duke Wei's words are suspected of being punished. The general is loyal to the country and has personally experienced the battlefield. He has always been obedient to His Majesty in the court. Many ministers have repeatedly mentioned that the general should go to the hall with his sword and walk on his feet, but he will not go to the court. The general has repeatedly resigned. Duke Wei slandered important officials out of thin air, which would cause him to lose his identity!"
Cai Yong also said unhappyly: "In-law, you clearly told me that you are here to thank the general. Why do you have to say a few words of thanks? Instead, you have been questioning and criticizing the general here? If so, I will not be with you. General. I am embarrassed and deeply frightened. I will come to apologize again in the future and say goodbye to you today!"
After saying that, he stood up, pulled Cai Yan and was about to leave. Cai Yan seemed to be reluctant to leave now, but he did not dare to resist his father.
"Lord, once he and Cai Yan leave, this matter will be completely unspeakable. Even if we can point out that Da Meng has not succeeded in violence, no one will confront him. If you want to save Da Meng, you can only use your power to suppress others. The prestige of the general and our army will be greatly damaged. What's more, they will definitely spread the matter at that time, or even add fuel to the fire. We must be cautious."
Cui Jun approached Liu He and whispered softly.
Liu He looked at Wei Jian and saw him glance at the backs of the Cai father and daughter from the corner of his eyes. His disdain and mocking expression flashed away.
"I heard from others that although Cai Yong was a literati, he was somewhat upright. It seems that he was taken advantage of by Wei today. His father and daughter did not show up, so Dan Weijian himself was not convenient to attack him. His father and daughter kept staying there, and Wei Jian was in a fierce debate with me, which inevitably caused their displeasure. Wei Jian is really scheming."
A feeling of powerlessness suddenly arose in Liu He's heart.
"Oh, that's all. Dameng has to save him. It seems that he can only use his power to suppress him once today. The Qing Dynasty will clear himself. After saving Dameng, he will go to Cai to persuade him and find a way to restore his reputation."
Liu He let out a long breath, then slowly stood up. As the process of standing, his eyes became more and more firm.
"I dare to bully me Liu He, but I don't know how to live or die. I don't believe that I, Liu He, will fail because of this kind of villain."
He made up his mind, but he didn't notice that Wei Jian's eyes were filled with excitement when he watched him stand up, and the meaning of the plan succeeding.
"Master, you..."
Xun Yu and Cui Jun guessed what Liu He wanted to do and were about to come to dissuade him, but Liu He waved his hand and signaled that they didn't need to say much.
Seeing this, Wei Jian's eyes were filled with ecstasy, but his face was still very angry and serious. His acting skills were really extraordinary.
"Mr. Wei, there is still a hidden secret in this matter. Since the Cai family and daughter have left, it is difficult to explain the whole story. However, although General Wang Han took his daughter-in-law, his atrocities have not succeeded. According to the law and the military discipline of our army, the crime will be reduced by one level. The military discipline will be handled according to the military discipline. He will be punished with 60 sticks and whipped thirty to show punishment."
Sure enough, Wei Jian sneered.
"Hmph, why didn't the general say this just now? He just wanted to wait until his in-laws and daughter-in-law left after he was angry. He clearly did not dare to confront each other and wanted to use his power to occupy a single rule. The thief was a powerful general under the general. It is said that in Shangdang County, he had once fought against Lu Bu, who was known as the best in the world. He wanted to commit such a divine power. How could my daughter-in-law resist? He didn't succeed? He was simply too bullying!"
He also suddenly stood up.
"If this Liao is not killed to thank the world, I, Wei, will never give up! The general is powerful, and our small family will naturally not fall into the eyes of the general. However, everyone in the Wei family has pride and will never succumb to the power of tyranny. If you want to kill or cut, you will be obedient. But as long as there is one person in my clan who survives, you will never allow others to be bullied at will!"
His words were so righteous and stern, his whole face turned red with anger, his veins bulged, and his beard trembled. After that, he put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes, and acted like he was waiting for death. It was a generous and tragic song, which almost reminded Liu He of Wen Tianxiang in the history books of his previous life.
