Chapter 67 Absolutely impossible
On the 16th, Li Yuanhui and his second brother went to Jingzhao Prefecture again and rescued several family guards who were sent in yesterday.
This made Wei Huang, the Criminal Officer of Jingzhao Prefecture, very annoyed.
When it was delivered in yesterday, they said that your property was stolen. Did you find it today?
What the hell?
However, the two sons of the Li family called Wei Huang, who was from a branch family, "Brother" one after another, and Wei Huang soon lost all his anger.
See? He is the direct descendant of the Longxi Li family, the legitimate son of Duke Tang, and he calls me Brother. How can I not do this little thing for them?
"What's the problem? We are all family. The Imperial Concubine is my aunt, and His Highness Jinyang is my cousin. We are all family."
Wei Huang personally went out to send Li Er and Li Si out of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the haze caused by the two murders was also cleared.
Eight people were sent in from the Li family yesterday, and eight people died in Changxingfang last night. Could there be any connection?
After just thinking in this direction, Wei Huang shook the thought off. What does this have to do with him?
Even if there is, he doesn't want to know, let alone check.
The relationship between the Li family and the Wei family was not bad, as they were related by marriage. Li Huaipu, the eldest son of General Li Shenfu, married Wei Huang's cousin.
The daughter of Wei Kang, the governor of Jingzhou, and the wife of Li Zhu, the magistrate of Wannian County, were also from the Jingzhao Wei family. They were also Wei Huang's elders, so they had to call her aunt.
After Li Silang marries Princess Jinyang, he will become closer to Wei.
If we were to investigate whether the Li family was up to something at this time, the elders in the clan would have to suppress him first.
After leaving Jingzhao Prefecture, Li Er directly threw a bag of copper coins to the guards who were sent yesterday, told them to go and have a good time with the wine, and reminded them to keep their mouths shut and go home early.
In fact, these people didn’t know what Li Er and others were planning, they were just giving routine instructions.
After a few people left, he got on the horse and headed home with Li Si.
"Shiro, you are still a bit too soft-hearted. The Yoshira couple and that scoundrel Huo Qiu should not be left alive."
Li Er spoke to Silang very seriously.
Li Si nodded and said, "Second brother, you are right. If the Yoshira couple didn't say anything, then Huo Qiu would not be wronged if he was killed. If he is kept alive, he might be a disaster."
"You knew that and still let Zhang Jian arrange for them to leave?"
"Hehe, second brother, just think of me as being soft-hearted and soft-hearted. I'm not the type to do big things. If you hadn't helped me take care of things this time, I might have gotten into trouble. Thank you, second brother."
Li Er sneered, "Thank you for nothing. I'm your second brother. Why are you thanking me? Brothers fight together, fathers and sons fight together in battle. We are a family. Why are you being so polite?"
"Hehehe, second brother is right, I won't be polite with you then."
"Wait a minute, you still have to be polite where you should be polite. You still have to give me the horse you promised to give me."
"No, can the relationship between us brothers be measured by a horse?"
"Those are the Ferghana horses from Dayuan. A few years ago, the Turkic Khan Shibi gave the saint twenty of them. The saint kept four for himself and gave the rest to several princes and princesses. Your Highness Jinyang got the most. I heard that only her horses gave birth to foals. Have you promised to give me one after we get married?" "Don't worry, I won't forget you."
Li Si agreed with full confidence, but he actually had no idea in his mind. But a horse's face should be given to his future wife, right?
The main reason is that he is not sure. Apart from chatting a few times, they have never done anything together. If it really doesn't work, kneel down for her. Modern people have no psychological burden in this regard. There is no gold under a man's knees, only a washboard and a keyboard.
The two brothers bargained all the way and returned home. A boy who was running errands saw the two brothers coming back and immediately came forward and whispered something to Li Er.
"Okay, I know. Go ahead."
After that, Li Er gave the servant several dozen coins, then smiled and said to Li Si:
"As expected, King Liang sent Zhou Ling to Wannian County to deal with the aftermath. Don't worry about the rest. He is more afraid of the matter being leaked than we are. Not to mention that it is a good idea for you to keep Yoshira and his wife. If there is no news about them, King Liang will think that they are in our hands and will not dare to act rashly. After all, this couple is direct witnesses. If they fall into the hands of King Wu, he will be in big trouble."
Li Si also let out a long sigh: "Second brother, you take care of the aftermath this time. Next time I see something like this, I will stay away from it."
Li Er smiled when he heard this, then reached out and patted Si Lang on the shoulder: "Don't say such things, just be clear in your conscience. Well, you have been working hard these days, go back and rest."
"Ah."
Li Si nodded with relief, separated from his second brother in the courtyard and returned to his own west yard.
At this time, Liu Xuanji had already returned to the Jinyuan Xiaoguo military camp, the five people from Qi County had already left Chang'an and headed for Qingzhou, and Zhang Jian had already taken Yoshira and his wife and Huo Qiu out of the city and settled in the Li family's manor outside the city.
Only Monk Rujing had not left. He was originally going to return to Yanfu Temple, but Li Silang asked him to stay at the Li family for a while to avoid the limelight, and sent someone to Yanfu Temple to report his safety.
Li Yuanhui returned to his courtyard. It was time for dinner, so he had wine and meat served and called Monk Rujing.
Ru Jing saw the table full of food and wine and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Mr. Li, it's already troublesome for you to let me stay here to avoid the limelight. This is too expensive."
Li Yuanhui looked at the dishes on the table and smiled: "Monk, don't think too much, this is just a daily meal."
The monk slapped his head and said, "Hey, sorry to make you laugh, I forgot where I was."
Li Yuanhui saw this but had no intention of laughing at him. Instead, he pushed him to sit down and said, "Monk, you need to open up your mind. People's circumstances will change. It is not a shame to be born in a humble family. I see that you have a handsome appearance and a bearing that ordinary people do not have. You will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
Ru Jing said, "I am just a monk, how can I achieve success?"
"What's wrong with the monk? I know a monk. He... He later built a great foundation. He might be even worse off than you. He had to make ends meet and several people in his family starved to death." Li Yuanhui couldn't say anything more. After all, there was no sign of Monk Zhu's case yet, so he could only be vague.
After hearing this, Monk Rujing said, "You are talking about me, aren't you? My family was poor when I was young, and during the war, my parents and brothers all starved to death. Later, I also had to make a living, and when I had no other way out, I became a monk."
After hearing the monk's desolate words, Li Yuanhui had a bad feeling in his heart. It couldn't be such a coincidence.
"Monk, what is your family name?"
"My surname is Zhu, and I never had a proper name. Because I was born on August 8, people call me Zhu Chongba, which means two eights."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhui picked up the wine glass and drank it directly, and then a picture emerged in his mind.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
