Chapter 923: Kidnapped Someone (1)
"Mr. Wen, I'm sorry to have made you worry." Fang Chen looked at the former right prime minister with a smile in his eyes.
"Mr. Wen, you are not dead yet?" Xu Feng looked at Mr. Wen and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Wen, I didn't expect you to be still alive. It really proves the saying, 'old people never die!'" Yang Hua also said to Mr. Wen.
"You old man, do you still remember me?" Tie Laosan also said to Wen Lao.
"I told you not to listen, look at yourself, why are you so miserable? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you dirty old man." Qin Wu also looked at Mr. Wen with a sarcastic tone.
"You are all fine! Everything is alright..." Old Wen had a stern face at first, but when he saw the familiar faces appear one after another, he couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up tremblingly and took two steps towards them.
Yang Hua and Tie Lao San immediately walked over to Wen Lao and supported him. "What's wrong? Have you not eaten well in the past few years? How come you are so skinny? It's really... you have become like this."
Old Wen looked at them, there was no anger in his eyes, only joy and tears.
Tears streamed down his cheeks. "You little bastards!!!"
She cried and yelled at the same time.
Fang Chen and the others helped Wen Lao to sit down. Fang Chen frowned and looked at Wen Lao. "Why are you in the Second Prince's barracks!?"
Elder Wen paused, wiped the tears from his eyes, and sighed heavily. "The Second Prince made a deal with the Prime Minister. He wants me to be his. He wants me to be under his nose. If he is satisfied to see me suffer, he will not touch my wife and children."
"How dare he?" Qin Wen said angrily.
"What is there for him to be afraid of? I made many memorials to the emperor at that time, and he lost a lot of face in front of the emperor. How could he, a person who holds grudges, let me go so easily?" Old Wen said indifferently.
"That's right. You, this old man, really made people angry to death back then." Yang Hua curled his lips. In the past, Old Man Wen was hated by everyone in the court.
He reported this and that to the emperor every day, and offended many people.
Back then, they let the enemy leader go for the sake of the people, but their superiors didn't know that they were trying to save the people at that time. They only knew that they didn't catch the enemy leader. So they were reported to the superiors and took the blame. Everyone said that they were rebels who let the enemy leader go and they should be executed to serve as a warning to others.
At that time, Old Wen glanced at them indifferently, but he did not express his agreement when he spoke. Instead, he told the emperor what he had investigated. They let the leader go for the sake of the people. Many people felt that the death of a few civilians was nothing. Old Wen immediately scolded them and taught them a lesson on how to behave.
Eventually they were acquitted and promoted to a higher rank, and Fang Chen also appeared in front of the emperor.
After that, Mr. Wen kept an eye on them, and reported whether they agreed or not. Instead, he recommended Fang Chen from a minor official to a general, who led a region and defended his country.
They were originally uncomfortable being stared at by Old Man Wen. The sixth and seventh brothers even wanted to sneak into his house and beat him up. But later they found that the more Old Man Wen reported to the emperor, the more the emperor valued Fang Chen.
Later, they gradually realized that Mr. Wen had actually been helping them all along. His repeated memorials and each testimony proved their loyalty and made the emperor value them more and more.
Originally, they all regarded Master Wen as their enemy, and cursed him as an old man every day. They even cursed him in the court, calling him "old man" and "bastard" in public.
