As Wei Ziyao spoke, she kicked the guard far away until he hit the threshold of the door.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and stopped moving.
The other guard was quite sensible and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Lord Wei, it's my fault that General Wei Yang was tortured. Please punish me, Lord Wei."
"Ha." Wei Ziyao sneered, "Tonight, you people really opened my eyes. Shengjing's soldiers can't kill the enemy, but no one can compare to you. When you saw that my Wei Family was about to fall, you dared to torture my brother. Now that you see that I'm not easy to deal with, you kneel down and admit your mistake. Where did you learn to take advantage of the situation? I want to learn it too. "
Although Wei Ziyao spoke harshly, she didn't intend to make things difficult for this person.
"Have you calculated the losses today?" Wei Ziyao asked the guard.
"Lord Wei, the entire granary has 30 million stones of grain. When I entered the palace, I didn't calculate the losses, but more than half of it has been burned. Now that it's autumn, the weather is dry, the Water Dragon Bureau has limited manpower. I'm afraid that even 10% of it will be …"
Even 10% of it will be difficult?
"Your Majesty." Wei Ziyao looked at the Northern Wen Emperor who was sitting high up. "Such a large-scale fire, it must be premeditated."
"Yes, it's premeditated. But what does your brother do? I told him to watch the granary so that he could be on guard against something that had been planned for a long time. But what about him? Isn't this a dereliction of duty? "
It's hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. It's impossible to guard against someone playing tricks behind the scenes, but this matter … won't end like this.
Wei Ziyao was about to say something when a very flirtatious voice came from the room.
"Why are you quarreling over this?"
As she spoke, Zi Yuan opened the curtain and walked out.
Because Wei Yang was an outsider, when Gui Fei came out in the middle of the night, he and the guard had been kneeling on the ground with their heads down, looking straight ahead.
"Why is it about the Wei family again? The destruction of the granary is not a small matter. Normally, such a big mistake should be executed. But today … I will help General Wei Yang plead for mercy. After all, the Wei Family has worked hard and contributed a lot. "
"Plead for mercy?" Obviously, the Northern Wen Emperor did not expect Zi Yuan to be willing to plead for mercy for the Wei Clan.
"That's right. I just heard you guys say that someone had been plotting this for a long time. Since that's the case, it's understandable that General Wei Yang didn't notice it. However, he did fail in his duty. Why don't … we let Ziyao make amends for her brother's mistake and give her time to gather the food. As long as she can gather enough food within the allotted time, we'll pardon Wei Yang for his crimes."
After all, Wei Yang had made a mistake, so they couldn't let him go out to gather food. Therefore, this matter could only fall to his sister, Wei Ziyao.
However … this matter seemed to be helping the Wei Clan, but it was obviously dragging Wei Ziyao into the water.
"Your Majesty, I'll take responsibility for what I did. It's my fault that the granary was burned. I'm willing to bear the consequences alone. My sister has no reason to take the blame for me."
Wei Yang also didn't want Wei Ziyao to be involved.
However, Wei Ziyao was definitely not the kind of person who would leave someone in the lurch.
She raised her head and looked straight at Zi Yuan. "Okay, I agree. Your Majesty, please give me a chance. If I can't gather enough food, I'm willing to bear the same punishment as Wei Yang."
How could he give her a chance without asking for anything?
Therefore, he could give her a chance, but he must say what would happen if she couldn't do it.
This was probably what Zi Yuan wanted to hear.
"Sister!" Wei Yang scolded loudly. He felt that she was too impulsive. "Sister, are you stupid? It's not enough for me to be punished alone. Do you want to be implicated? Don't be stupid! "
"Who said that we will definitely be punished? What if I really gather enough food? "
"Gather enough food? Do you know how much food there is? 30 million stones! How do you think you can gather enough food? "
Wei Yang was very angry. If his hands weren't tied, he would have beaten Wei Ziyao. However, Wei Ziyao still didn't feel anything.
