Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 247 Conversation

It was quiet inside the prison.

Xie Xiaocheng led the way. When they reached the last cell, he stopped and said, "You go ahead. I'll be guarding outside. No one else will come in."

After saying this, Xie Xiaocheng prepared to leave.

Xu Yuan said, "Thank you, General. No hurry. I have one more thing I want to trouble you with."

"What's the matter?"

"Get me a chair."

Xu Yuan did not look at Wei Chenyi, but said: "Today's talk will take a while, I don't want to stand."

Although Xie Xiaocheng was born a military general, he had also been in the court for several years and immediately understood the meaning of making a wish.

Thinking of Bei Yao's instructions, Xie Xiaocheng smiled, prepared to follow his wish, and immediately ordered someone to get a chair.

In less than an incense stick's time, two imperial guards brought a chair and placed it right in the middle of the cell, looking very imposing.

Wei Chenyi had been pretending to sleep, but when he heard the noise, he opened his eyes and said coldly, "Xuyuan, you don't think I can't get out of this prison, do you?"

I spent several days in the prison, and the first day was pretty good.

The jailer treated him to delicious food and drinks, taking into consideration that he was the Imperial Censor.

But the next day, the people in the prison were completely replaced.

When Xie Xiaocheng came, his face was so angry that it was twisted!

As expected, although Xie Xiaocheng did not treat him harshly, he did not give him any preferential treatment either.

He has been having a very bad time these days.

When he gets out, he will definitely deal with Xie Xiaocheng and Xu Yuan first.

Xu Yuan did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he waited until Xie Xiaocheng left before sitting on a chair and speaking slowly, "I have come to see you, but you still can't leave. Do you think there is anyone in the capital who can save you?"

Wei Chen choked.

Xu Yuan said again: "Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?"

Xu Yuan looked at Wei Chenyi. He was still the same. Even though he was in prison, his eyes were still superior.

In his previous life he said: You can't kill me.

But today, it was her turn to say this.

Xu Yuan straightened his sleeves and said, "Don't think about leaving the prison, and don't try to kill me. Now you are in the capital, and everyone wants to kill you. Do you think anyone can save you?"

Wei Chen narrowed his eyes, looking at the calm expression of the young man in front of him, and suddenly realized: "Are you behind this?"

After saying that, Wei Chenyi didn't believe it again.

What kind of storm can making a wish cause?

He has no power or influence, so how could he play such a big game?

But Xuyuan's next words slapped him in the face.

Xuyuan said, "You just thought of it?"

"Why?" Wei Chenyi looked at Xu Yuan with hatred in his eyes. He suppressed the urge to kill Xu Yuan and said in a gentle and persuasive way: "I think I have treated you well. As long as you can save me, I will definitely use you."

"Heh..." Xu Yuan smiled, "Even if I poke my own eyes out, I will never believe you again, Wei Chenyi. Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I ask myself is when I can kill you. Thanks to you, I have slept very well these past few days."

Xu Yuan's confident look made Wei Chenyi feel a little flustered.

But he still comforted himself: "I will definitely be able to get out of here. The day I get out will be the day you die!"

"How ridiculous! You still want to get out? Looking at the entire court and the country, who dares to save you?" Xu Yuan asked back.

She waited for so long to see the position swap today.

How could she let Wei Chenyi get out alive?

Wei Chen said confidently: "Someone will always save me. Although the Wei family is not famous, they are also well-known meritorious officials in the court. You want to kill me? It's wishful thinking!"

"You are so confident that I feel a little insecure. But someone is bound to die in this round. It's either you or me. How can I let you do what you want?"

Xu Yuan looked at Wei Chenyi's slowly sinking expression and said, "Or do you think your Wei family can compare to the Xu family back then?"

Wei Chen's eyes changed.

He looked at Xu Yuan and suddenly realized: "You, you are from the Xu family... Impossible, how is it possible, he clearly sent people to Sishui County to check!"

Wei Chenyi paced back and forth in the cell. He didn't know if it was because he had the assumption that Xu Yuan was a descendant of the Xu family, but as he looked at Xu Yuan, he felt that Xu Yuan was very much like the Prime Minister Xu of the past.

Until the very end, he stared at Xu Yuan, and in those extremely strange but equally determined eyes, he caught a glimpse of the expression of his old friend.

When he first arrived in the capital that year, he heard that the Xu family had countless students, so he recommended himself.

Who knew I couldn’t even help you get through the door.

Therefore, he had no choice but to sell the last few possessions he had, stay in a dilapidated temple, and wait for the national examination.

Fortunately, he made the list.

Everyone admires the strong, and he is no exception.

The young master of the Xu family was famous in the capital, and his descendants were more outstanding than each other, and almost all of his civil and military officials came from the Xu family.

He boasted that he was capable and understood the ways of the world. He tried to make friends with the Xu family several times, but the Xu family never even glanced at him.

The seeds of hatred were deeply planted in his heart at that moment.

Wei Chenyi did not finish recalling the story of the first half of his life.

Xuyuan interrupted him and asked, "He? Who is he?"

This "he" must be no simple person.

It is even possible that when she arrived in the capital, they immediately became suspicious of her identity.

Now that person is not moving, I guess he didn't notice anything unusual.

In other words, she is safe.

Hearing Xu Yuan's question, Wei Chenyi came back to his senses immediately, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he repeated what he had said before: "Someone will definitely rescue me."

"You really think I'm that stupid?"

It was funny to make a wish.

She sat on the chair and suddenly said, "You have taught me a lot before, and today I will tell you some truths."

"Those who hold high positions in the court usually have two characteristics. First, they have outstanding qualities and are the pillars of the court. Second, they are beneficial to those in power, and the emperor turns a blind eye and pretends not to see it. In Wei Yushi's opinion, are you one of these two types of people?"

Wei Chenyi chuckled, rather disdainfully: "When I was in the officialdom, you were not even born yet, so it is not your turn to educate me."

Xu Yuan ignored what Wei Chenyi said, and said to himself: "Wei Yushi has no outstanding qualities. Even if he has, it is easy to replace him. Besides, Wei Yushi has long been a discarded pawn to the emperor. You can't turn over. At this moment, just one more straw will become a heavy blow that crushes you, so you can't leave."

"Nonsense! Someone will definitely save me." Wei Chenyi was still very confident.

Xu Yuan raised his eyes slightly, looked at Wei Chenyi, and smiled faintly: "Oh, that's probably because the emperor doesn't know the cause of Princess Jialing yet."

Hearing the words Princess Jialing, Wei Chen's eyes suddenly changed. He looked at Xu Yuan and asked in disbelief: "You...how, how did you know?!"
