Jiang Wei

Jiang Wei was the second young master of the Yingtian estate.

History
As there were too many buyers for the book of the hermit shepherd, the bookstore owner, who was the middleman for works of the hermit shepherd held an auction on the eighth day of the twelfth month to sell it to the highest price.

Two people bid most fiercely. One was the youngest son of the minister who worked in the Court of Imperial Sacrifices: Lu Kuang, and the other was the second young master of the Yingtian estate: Jiang Wei. Lu Kuang took the script away with the whopping price of four hundred liangs.

This matter should have concluded here. However, the news of Lu Kuang’s death spread out the second day.

It turns out that: Lu Kuang spoke words of humiliation to Jiang Wei when he won the ink treasure. The house servants of both sides got into a huge fight, then Lu Kuang was hit on the head with a club amidst the chaos. He could not be saved.

Jiang Wei was detained by the Ministry of Penalty to be put on trial in the early spring. The hermit shepherd turned famous because of this too.
