Chapter 267

Wei Kai, seeing Cai Yong, Yang Ci, and Yuan Huai like this, was also given a big fright.

He knew that this matter today probably wouldn't be easy to end.

Wei Kai calmed his heart and said: "Three lords, please forgive me. This matter was entirely decided by my elder brother alone."

"As a member of the Wei family, I should naturally listen to the master's orders."

"Why can aristocratic families be passed down for thousands of years?"

"Isn't it because of these rules?"

He didn't even think, pushing all the blame directly onto his elder brother.

As the head of the Wei family and Wei Zhongdao's father,

these decisions all came from his hands.

Wei Kai was just following orders.

He also incidentally brought out the word 'rules'.

This was also something that all aristocratic families in Great Han would follow.

The master's order was everything!

All aristocratic families in Great Han would follow this rule.

Therefore, Wei Kai said the last sentence to express his helplessness.

After saying these words, Wei Kai's heart relaxed.

At the same time, his heart began to marvel at Cai Wenji's wisdom and sharp insight.

A few simple sentences not only stated the fact that Wei Zhongdao was seriously ill but also helped him solve the immediate difficulty.

Wei Kai's heart was both afraid and admiring.

If this were a boy, the Cai family would definitely soar into the sky because of it.

"Fool!"

"Is this kind of thing something that can be hidden?"

"He actually had the nerve to invite the old man out to be a lobbyist."

"He doesn't want face, but the old man does!"

"If Niece Wenji's marriage was ruined because of this, what face would the old man have to see Brother Bo Jie in the future?"

"I will definitely settle this account with your elder brother!"

Yuan Huai said indignantly, the beard on his face starting to tremble.

Immediately after, he bowed to Cai Yong, "Brother Bo Jie, it was the old man who didn't consider things thoroughly and didn't investigate clearly."

"The old man apologizes to you here!"

Cai Yong hurriedly helped him up and said: "Ci Yang, don't be like this."

"Those who don't know are not guilty. You didn't know about this, so I naturally won't blame you."

The expression on Yuan Huai's face was very ashamed, and he said: "I will write a letter to the head of the Wei family and scold him severely."

"And I will announce what he has done to the world."

"I will take my leave first!"

Saying this, Yuan Huai left directly.

He glared fiercely at Wei Kai, snorted coldly, his eyes and tone full of disdain.

"Bo Jie, the old man will also take his leave."

"This matter was the old man's oversight, and I will definitely help you get an explanation."

Yang Ci didn't linger either.

After such a thing happened, how could he have the face to stay here?

Because of the Wei family, he had lost so much face today, so he definitely wouldn't let the Wei family off easily.

"Grand Marshal, walk slowly!"

Cai Yong bowed to see him off.

Wei Kai, seeing Yuan Huai and Yang Ci leave, felt even more bitter in his heart.

However, his decision was indeed the most appropriate one at the moment.

Given the Wei family's situation, they could only cut off their arm to survive, sacrificing his elder brother to preserve the entire Wei family; otherwise, once Yuan Huai, Yang Ci, and Cai Yong exerted their power,

even if the entire Wei family were added together, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

Even if his elder brother knew about this, he wouldn't blame him.

As a member of an aristocratic family, one should prioritize the survival of the family above all else, and for the sake of the family, one could make any sacrifice.

"Master Cai, I will take my leave!"

Wei Kai said with an embarrassed face.

Cai Yong snorted coldly and didn't speak.

Wei Kai left sneakily; he had to rush back to the Wei family immediately.

To explain today's events in detail to his elder brother.

To minimize the impact of this matter on the Wei family as much as possible.

After Wei Kai left, Cai Yong's face returned to normal, and not only that, he laughed happily.

"The Wei family actually fell because of my daughter."

"Truly gratifying."

"Wenji, how did you investigate the fact that Wei Zhongdao was suffering from a serious illness?"

"Come and tell your father."

Cai Yong asked impatiently, a strong gleam of light releasing from his eyes.

The two sisters, Cai Wenji and Cai Zhenji, seeing this, covered their mouths and laughed.

Afterward, Cai Wenji began to speak slowly.

…

The fact that the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect reached first place on the Sect List caused quite a sensation in the Nine Provinces.

The vast majority of people had never heard of this sect.

So they started guessing one after another.

The few who knew, seeing the strength of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect, were also given a big fright.

They only knew this sect was very powerful.

They didn't expect it to be powerful to this extent.

For a time, a wave of investigating the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect swept across the Nine Provinces.

At the same time, in the Xianyanggong of Great Qin.

Another intense collision was set off.

In Xianyang, all the officials already knew that the Ninth Prince, Ying Ziyu, had killed Zhao Gao in public.

At this time, the civil and military officials, the eldest Prince Fusu, the Ninth Prince Ying Ziyu, and the Eighteenth Prince Hu Hai were all standing in the Xianyanggong.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, your subordinate accuses the Ninth Prince, Ying Ziyu."

"He publicly killed my Master Zhao Gao. Your subordinate requests Your Majesty to deal with the murderer according to the Great Qin laws!"

Hu Hai stood out directly and knelt heavily on the ground.

According to Great Qin laws, there was no need to perform the kneeling ceremony; one only needed to bow.

It was just that Hu Hai, in order to show his determination and make people realize that this matter was very serious, knelt down.

The officials among the hundred officials who supported Hu Hai also stood out one after another.

"The Ninth Prince, Ying Ziyu, killed someone in public within the Xianyanggong. This is an act of having no regard for the law. Since the Shang Yang reforms, when has such a thing ever appeared in our Great Qin? Your Majesty, please punish the Ninth Prince according to the Great Qin laws!"

"Today, the Ninth Prince killed the Prefect of the Carriage Office; tomorrow, the one assassinated might be Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please act according to the Great Qin laws."

"Establishing the country by law is the foundation of our Great Qin's prosperity. Your Majesty, please act according to the law!"
