Chapter 22 Wisdom and theft
Yang Yanpu shouted: "Isn't this a joke? These people are all here to mourn my second brother. How can we just search? I was about to discuss with this guy and just pay him one. But I knew that this man was so arrogant that he actually proposed to his eighth sister. He said that we didn't agree and went to Dali Temple to report it. He said that we were sheltering the thief."
Guan Wei heard Yang Yanpu gritting his teeth and telling the story. He just smiled slightly and looked around. There were about a hundred people surrounding the courtyard, and everyone was talking about everything.
Yang Yanzhao stepped forward to communicate with Lin Zhu, but it seemed that the effect was not good, and they were a little angry.
Guan Wei stepped forward and said, "Brother, how about leaving this matter to me? I'll catch the thief."
Yang Yanzhao saw Guan Wei's ability and immediately smiled and said, "How come he forgot about his good brother? He was about to see his good brother's ability."
"Come on! Close the door, don't let the thieves escape." Guan Wei ordered that the Yang family had already made the door crazy.
Guan Wei smiled and said, "You may not know me. Let me introduce it first. My name is Guan Wei. My name is Zizheng. I am not an official, but just a disciple of His Highness the King of Chu.
As for why the King of Chu wanted to accept me as a young man as a guest, because I had rescued Jia in Zhuozhou, shot and injured the uncle of Liao, scared away the Liao soldiers, and shot and killed Han Deyuan, the brother of Liao Prime Minister Han Derang. He also followed His Highness to Hedong to rescue Yang Linggong, killed Xiao Talin, deputy marshal of Liao Kingdom, and revealed the answer to a corruption in Yangqu County on the way back to Beijing."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their eyes looked at him were different. Not to mention that all these credits were glued to each other, but if someone set them up, they could soar into the sky.
"But this is not what I am best at. As for what I am best at? Let everyone know immediately.
You all know that this is Yang Erlang's spiritual platform. His yin spirit has not dissipated, but they are all watching everyone's every move. I will invite my second brother's yin spirit out and ask him to tell who stole Lin Zhu's beads. It will be clear at that time."
As Guan Wei spoke, his tone also changed. Everyone around him was creepy when they heard it, as if an eye was staring at their backs.
Many people's faces changed, and they were all very exciting.
Guan Wei glanced around and said, "Is anyone admitting that if I admit it now, I can leave the stolen goods alone? If I insist on it, wait until the truth is revealed, don't blame me for being rude."
The surroundings looked at each other, but in the end no one admitted it.
"I'm very sorry that someone missed the last chance. So I'll ask Brother Yang's ghost to come down to earth now. After a while, everyone will go to the mourning hall to kowtow, and Brother Second will tell us who is the real thief.
However, the Yin Ling is afraid of the sunshine. It is not good if there are too many people. I will close the door of the mourning hall in a while, and everyone will go there one by one. After everyone has finished worshiping, the second brother will naturally tell me who is the thief."
Guan Wei said a few words to Yang Yanpu. Yang Yanpu agreed and ran in. Soon the gate of the mourning hall was closed.
Guan Wei pretended to behave and gestured for a while, his eyes kept sweeping across everyone's faces. Everyone was different under his eyes.
"Okay! Please come in and kowtow to worship!" Guan Wei shouted loudly, scaring everyone to death.
Then everyone entered the mourning hall one by one according to his request to pay homage. There were only more than a hundred people. The worship was completed in a short time. Everyone came to the yard and stood a large area.
Guan Wei has been looking at everyone who comes out, and the smile on his face has never stopped.
"We have done what you said, tell me who is the treasure thief!"
Guan Wei laughed and said, "I already have the answer! That friend, come forward!"
Guan Wei pointed at a person beside Lin Zhu, and the man shook his body and almost fell down. Lin Zhu's face also changed.
"Why do you say he is a thief?" Lin Zhu shouted loudly.
"Look at your robe, there is a layer of incense ash on your knees. This is what I asked Yang Sanlang to scatter on the futon. When everyone kneels on the futon to worship Brother Yang, the ash will naturally stick to your body, but some people have ghosts in their hearts, so they naturally dare not go to worship, so there is no ash on their body.
There are so many people present, only him is not there, so he must have stole the orb.”
"You think these are all your own thoughts, what if it weren't for him?" Lin Zhu shouted loudly.
Guan Wei pulled the man out and said, "This is not simple, just search it!"
Yang Yanpu stepped forward and grabbed the guy. A group of servants rushed up and flipped his body and his pockets.
"Finally found! Found it! It's true on him."
Soon someone found a jade bead in his bag and held it in his hand for everyone to watch.
"Wow—I'm so amazing, I actually caught it." The people around me clapped and cheered.
"Brother Guan, he is such a god!" Yang Yanzhao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile. The people in the Yang family were also very excited. The eighth sister and ninth sister who were peeking at the second door looked excited, and turned around and ran back to report the message to their mother.
"Hey, if this person is remembered correctly, he is called Li Yuan. He came with Lin Yanei, right?" Yang Hong suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly.
Everyone looked at Lin Zhu with contempt. Lin Zhu was sweating on his head in a hurry, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped Li Yuan in the face and drank: "Dog slave, you dare to steal my things."
Everyone laughed and Guan Wei smiled and said, "Brother Yang, send the person to Kaifeng Prefecture!"
Lin Zhu hurriedly said, "No, no, why bother Kaifeng Prefecture, just leave it to our Dali Temple."
"Lin Yanei doesn't seem to understand! Your Dali Temple is responsible for reviewing the case, and you haven't taken any steps yet! The person who came tied him up and gave it to Kaifeng Prefecture."
"Yes!" Yang Hong and others escorted Li Yuan and left. Lin Zhu could no longer stay, so he turned around and left.
"Wow—" There was another burst of applause around.
"Why is it so noisy?" There was a loud shout outside like a bell. It turned out that Yang Ye had returned from the palace.
"Father!" Several sons from the Yang family ran up to pay their respects, and said a few simple words.
When Yang Ye saw Guan Wei's face darkened. In his eyes, this guy was just a person who was unruly. He cared about all etiquette and rules, and was a big slander.
"Why did you arrive at my mansion? You are not welcome here, please leave!"
"Uh~" this sentence surprised the people around. Even Yang Yanzhao and others were also very embarrassed. After all, Guan Wei was also a guest of his family, and he saved his life and helped us. Isn't this a bit too inhumane?
Guan Wei was a little embarrassed. Why did he become an enemy after saving someone? He was shocked when he thought of this. In fact, he couldn't blame Yang Ye for this. He was acting in the Song Dynasty using the values he already knew and had been adhering to.
What he had to face and challenge was the values of the people of the Song Dynasty, which was overthrowing the foundation of this society. Although his views were more advanced and more correct, they were not suitable in ancient times!
Do you want to talk about democracy, legal system, equality and justice in the Song Dynasty? Then the world must be in chaos.
Now we are talking about the Three Bonds and Five Constant Permanences. In the eyes of later generations, this value is feudal dictatorship, a feudal cancer, and a tool for the feudal ruling class to persecute and oppress the people; but at that time it was the most suitable. Everything is keeping pace with the times and cannot be separated from its historical background and commented separately.
Thinking of this, Guan Wei suddenly understood that there were still many things he needed to learn to adapt to this society.
It seems that I have made great contributions along the way, but in fact I am still far from it? An old guy like Yang Ye can see my shortcomings at a glance. If I really stayed in Kaifeng in a daze, I would sooner or later be killed by those cunning literati.
"I'm still young! But it's good to leave for a while. I'm just taking the opportunity to study hard. When I come again, it's not that easy for you to drive me away."
"Thank you for your lesson!" Guan Wei saluted Yang Ye, then said to Yang Yanzhao and others: "Dalang, Sanlang, we will have a date later! Say goodbye!" As he said that, he turned around and left with Fan Yanzhao.
Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yanpu were a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to send him off. They hurriedly hugged their fists and kept saying, "Brother Guan, offend! Offend!"
As he was talking, Zhe Saihua, who was behind, also received the message and came out with her two daughters.
"Dad." Yang Yanqi and Yang Yanying ran up first, pulling Yang Ye in tears.
"Master!" Zhe Saihua looked at her husband with gray hair and deep wrinkles, and knew that he had walked in the gates of hell this time. She couldn't help but feel sad from her heart, and tears rolled down.
"I've been wronged." Yang Ye sighed and said, "Fortunately, the war is over, and I can live well at home for a while."
"Old Linggong, please be mournful and follow the changes." These people who came to pay their respects quickly stepped forward and talked to Yang Ye. It is said that Yang Ye made great contributions in the west this time and was the number one celebrity in front of the official family. How could such a good opportunity be missed?
Yang Ye and these people were kind and agreed to each other. Seeing that it was getting late, everyone said goodbye.
"Where is General Fan and Brother Guan?" The old lady looked around, but disappeared Fan Yanzhao and Guan Wei, and asked in surprise.
Yang Yanzhao and others were very embarrassed and looked at their father secretly with the corners of their eyes.
Yang Ye also blushed and said, "I drove away!"
"What?" Zhe Saihua thought she didn't hear clearly, so she asked in surprise: "Why? He offended the master!"
