Chapter 75: Can't Go Back
Chen Yingliang finally missed the secrets once, but it cannot be blamed for Chen Yingliang's carelessness. Chen Yingliang did not expect that the Chai family would start from Chen Laosan's injury and forgot to make up for this tiny but critical loophole in advance, and new branches emerged.
What's worse is that Wei Ziqi's kindness to Chen Yingliang also helped the Lao Chai family. In order to fulfill his grandfather's letter and instructions, he took care of and protected Chen Yingliang and others for Wei Xuan. Wei Ziqi loyally used a lot of money to invite Chen Laosan to the most famous ulcer doctor in Daxing City. As a result, Chen Laosan's injuries were carefully treated by the famous doctor in Daxing. Clues of Chen Yingliang's whereabouts were naturally inevitably exposed.
This is not over yet. As we all know, our Chai Shen, the Duke of Cheshiro is the right inner leader of the prince, and the commander is the guard of the imperial city. Naturally, in daily training, we must deal with ulcer doctors equivalent to surgeons, and their connections are naturally very wide. Chai Shao is also famous for being a hero. He usually fights with people bravely and fiercely, and naturally deals with the major famous ulcer doctors in Daxing City. Therefore, after Mr. Chai took the initiative, he found the first famous doctor of Daxing bone injury to Chai Shao and revealed and explained Chen Laosan's whereabouts, which made Chai Shao feel a little unbelievable.
Chai Shao was still behind even more incredible. When he learned that the old man with the broken leg who had a very imaginative appearance with Chen Laosan was hiding in Wei Xuan's mansion, Chai Shao almost stared out and exclaimed: "In the Wei Liuwang Mansion? How is that possible? How could that old man with broken leg be in the Wei Liuwang Mansion? Doctor Ultimate, have you remembered it wrong?"
"Absolutely," Daxing's most famous orthopedic doctor was confident in his attitude and replied: "It was the night before yesterday that Wei Ziqi, Prince Wei, sent someone to take Caomin to his mansion to treat a leg injury to an old man in his sixties. His appearance was exactly the same as what you described by Mr. Chai, and the one that broke was the right leg calves you said."
Chai Shao was even more dumbfounded and could not believe that Chen Yingliang's slave Chen Laosan, who could hide in Daxing City, could hide in Daxing City. Almost no one dared to mess with the stubborn old man Wei Xuan's house to treat his injuries. The ulcer doctor added, saying, "By the way, there is something strange. The old man's clothes were very ragged and dressed like an ordinary person. At that time, I was very surprised. How could Mr. Wei come forward for such an old man in the folk? However, the identity of the villain and Mr. Wei were too disparate, so I didn't dare to ask."
Chai Shao continued to talk. After a long time, Chai Shao suddenly remembered a big event and asked: "Doctor Ulcer, there was a 16 or 17-year-old man next to the old man with broken legs at that time. He was very thin, with a pointed face and chin, and his facial features were like a woman. How could he feel uncomfortable when he looked at it?"
"Yes." The ulcer doctor nodded quickly and replied, "There is a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen years old next to the old man who broke the legs. He has been serving the old man with his own hands. He also called the old man San Bo and Mr. Wei called him Mr. Chen. However, the appearance of that Mr. Chen is not annoying. He is polite and polite, but he is still a boy or a girl. He is a sign of wealth and honor."
Chai Shao was basically sure that the old man and young man in the Wei Mansion were Chen Laosan and Chen Yingliang, and it was completely unbelievable. He didn't know what to do for a moment. If it were another family, Chai Shao would definitely have brought his servants to the door to question the crime. However, if the Daxing emperor Wei Xuan's house was still on his way back to Daxing, Wei Ziqi is not a formal official now. But if Chai Shao dared to go to the Wei Mansion to cause trouble, if Wei Xuan went home and took revenge, even the Dai Wang Yang You who was currently staying in Daxing could chop Chai Shao and feed the dog when Emperor Yang of Sui left Daxing, he personally told his grandson Yang You to hold the disciples' courtesy to Wei Xuan.
At the end of his hand, Chai Shao had to hurry back to his home and report the matter to his father and wife. Then Chai Shen and Li Xiuning both doubted whether they were in a dream. They screamed in unison and asked, "At Wei Liuwang's home? How could it be? Did you make a mistake? Who is Wei Liuwang? How could he take in someone like Chen Yingliang?"
"I hope it's a mistake, but judging from the situation introduced by the ulcer doctor, this should be correct.
Chai Shao looked helpless and had to introduce the information he had obtained through the ulcer doctor. The more he listened, the bigger his mouth opened, and the more he listened, the more he became, the more confused he became. He could not believe that such a thing would happen in the world. The poor boy Chen Yingliang would run into the home of Emperor Wei Xuan of the Great Xing Dynasty, and was treated by Wei Xuan's only grandson Wei Ziqi? Even though Chai Shen and Li Xiuning broke their heads, they could not think of why Wei Ziqi did this. What qualifications are Chen Yingliang's master and servant who was so poor that he picked vegetables and leaves in the vegetable market to make porridge and drink it. What qualifications are there to be worth Wei Ziqi's respect?
"Did it be..." After thinking hard, Li Xiuning suddenly thought of a possibility, and her pink face changed color and said quickly: "My husband, send someone to my family and call Erlang and ask him to help us in the matter."
"Erlang? Is he okay?" Chai Shao hesitated.
"Don't underestimate Erlang. He is a genius. Although he is only fifteen years old, his wisdom and scheming are far above us. He will definitely help with this matter." Li Xiuning replied.
Considering that the doctor's investigation of Chen Yingliang's whereabouts was Li Er's idea, and the facts have proved that Li Er's suggestion was effective, Chai Shao nodded and asked quickly: "Do you want to call Dalang here and ask Dalang to help the staff? Dalang is also a smart person, with more experience than Erlang, and maybe he can help better."
Li Xiuning, who is already a member of the Chai family, must consider her husband, so she shook her head and said, "Darang cannot know about this. Dalang is smart, but he is too calm and sophisticated, and he has always been disgusted with you killing Chen Yingliang. Calling him will only backfire." Chai Shao has always obeyed his wife, so he did not insist. He immediately sent someone to contact Li Er and asked his brother-in-law to come to his house to discuss matters with his brother-in-law.
Li Er and Chai Shao had a deep relationship. After being summoned by Chai Shao, they naturally rushed to Taipingfang to meet with their sister's family. At the same time, Li Er guessed the reason why his brother-in-law was anxious to summon him on the way. So after meeting, before Chai Shao spoke, Li Er had already asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, call me up so anxiously. Is there any clue to Chen Yingliang's whereabouts?"
Li Er couldn't laugh soon. After learning from Chai Shao about the incident, Li Er was still a genius and couldn't help but exclaim. He couldn't believe that Chen Yingliang was hiding in Wei Xuan's mansion. After calming down quickly, Li Er thought carefully and soon changed his face like his sister. He hurriedly asked Li Xiuning: "Sister, what do you think about this?"
"Sister thought of a possibility, but I was not sure, so I could only ask your brother-in-law to discuss it with you."
Li Xiuning and his younger brother talked about a mystery, which made Chai Shen and Chai Shao and his son beside him hear it for no reason, but Li Er's next words made Chai Shen and his son jump up together - Li Er said so, "I think that this is the only possibility. The guard stayed at the house, intending to take advantage of Chen Yingliang's incident and attack his brother-in-law's family.
"Take us?" Chai Shen was so scared that he was scattered and exclaimed: "How is this possible? Wei Liushou and I have no grudges, why did he attack me?"
"Uncle Chai, this is the only explanation." Li Er said in a deep voice: "With Chen Yingliang's family background and identity, the powerful Wei Liushou grandchildren will never be able to take in and protect him for no reason. Since the Wei Liushou Mansion is doing this now, this is enough to prove that someone in the Wei Liushou Mansion wants to use Chen Yingliang's handle to completely defeat you, otherwise, why should the Wei Liushou Mansion take in Chen Yingliang? After you asked Daxing County to post a notice to want Chen Yingliang, why did the Wei Liushou Mansion not say anything and make any reaction?"
"Why?" Chai Shao asked quickly.
"Some people in the Wei Liuwang Mansion hope that the bigger the matter, the better." Li Er replied with a wry smile: "The bigger the matter, the more active the Wei Liuwang takes action. At least it can add a charge for Uncle Chai and his brother-in-law to avenge private revenge and frame innocent people. It is only a moral issue, and it does not violate the national law. This charge is a real violation of the national law."
Hearing Li Er's words, Chai Shen's body began to tremble, and Chai Shao's face was a little bit like a mortal. However, Li Xiuning was relatively calm and asked: "Who is the most likely targeting her father-in-law? Wei Liuzhao himself or his grandson Wei Ziqi?"
"I think Wei Ziqi's possibility is the greatest." Li Er analyzed: "First, Wei Liushou is still on the way back to Daxing at this moment, and has not returned to Daxing City. It is unlikely that he will personally make arrangements to deal with Uncle Chai.
"Second, Wei Liuzhao would never have expected that Uncle Chai, you will charge Chen Yingliang as a thief."
"Uncle Chai, you asked the Daxing government to arrest Chen Yingliang. This is just a sudden accident. If there were no such accident, the conflict between you and Chen Yingliang was just a break-up. Although the break-up and the broken-up of marriage was not good for fame, it did not violate the national law. With the character of being left behind in the guard, it was almost impossible to care about such a trivial matter, and it was even more impossible to make a big fuss about this trivial matter."
"The third is simpler. Wei Liushou has no reason to deal with Uncle Chai." Li Er added: "I am frank, although Uncle Chai is the fourth-rank prince, the right inner ruler, his real power is actually pitifully small. He is just in charge of the palace ban and military service. He has no independent military power, nor much oil and water to make money. It is not important in the Sui court. Among the confidants under Wei Liushou, it is unlikely that he will target such a half-empty position, which will prompt Wei Liushou to personally take action to overthrow your Uncle Chai and make room for his confidant. In this case, why should Wei Liushou forcefully stand up for that kid Chen Yingliang and deliberately arrange Uncle Chai?"
If it were other times, if Li Er pointed out in person that Chai Shen Duke of Cheshire was irrelevant in the Sui court, then even if Li Er was the daughter-in-law's younger brother, Duke of Cheshire would definitely be slapped with a big ear. But this time it was different. After Li Er pointed out that his position was irrelevant, Duke of Cheshire quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he was humble and was not worthy of Mr. Wei's stubbornness to deal with him personally.
"So, is Wei Ziqi's possible possibility behind this matter?" Li Xiuning said calmly: "The position of father-in-law is naturally not worth mentioning in the eyes of Wei Zuoguan. In the eyes of Wei Ziqi, who has no real job, it is a hot commodity. For himself or for his friends, it is worth his move to defeat his father-in-law."
"There is another possibility." Li Er said calmly: "Wei Ziqi is quite upright. Although he is not considered to be a vengeful person, he is reluctant to be righteous. He has a straight name in Daxing City. Such a person cannot be ruled out that he wants to suppress the strong and support the weak and uphold justice for Chen Yingliang. He not only exaggerates Chen Yingliang, but also makes his reputation in Daxing City more prosperous."
Chai Shao gritted his teeth, and hated Wei Ziqi's dogs and rats. He meddled with other people's business, but Chai Shen was frowning and said with a sad face: "What is Wei Ziqi's purpose? What should we do now? Wei Liushou is behind Wei Ziqi, and I can't afford to offend him either."
"Uncle Chai, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you are asking for trouble." Li Er said with a wry smile and bluntly: "If you don't let the government come forward to arrest Chen Yingliang, even if Wei Ziqi takes action, he can only use your break-up to make a fuss. Japanese reputation will be damaged. But now, you have forced Chen Yingliang to be a rebel and framed innocent people. Isn't this the knife you send to Wei Ziqi? When Wei Liuwang returns to Daxing, Wei Ziqi sends Chen Yingliang to Wei Liuwang, and then tells the story. What will Wei Liuwang react? Do you dare to imagine?"
Recalling the strength of the Emperor Wei Xuan of the Great Xingtu, Chai Shen and Chai Shao and his son's faces turned pale. After a moment, Chai Shen said with a frustration: "In fact, it is not entirely framed by innocent people. We asked Daxing County to arrest Chen Yingliang, the little thief, also... Alas, let's not talk about these things, the road is complete. Erlang, how do we think we should deal with it?"
Li Er opened his mouth to say something, but he swallowed it back and shut up again. Li Xiuning kept paying attention to his younger brother's expression and said, "Erlang, just say anything. Duke Cheshire is my father-in-law. For the sake of my sister, you can't stand by death and refuse to save me."
Li Er hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uncle Chai, brother-in-law, you only have two choices now. The first choice is to come to Wei's mansion to apologize, directly make the words clear to Wei Ziqi, and then apologize to Chen Yingliang's master and servant in person, give them some compensation in exchange for them to settle the matter. In this way, Wei Ziqi's character should also stop doing it."
"Impossible" Chai Shao was furious and said viciously: "The little thief named Chen made our Chai family like this, which ruined our Chai family's reputation and ruined Qianmei's life. If he didn't execute him to death, it would be difficult to eliminate my hatred in my heart. I want our Chai family to apologize to him and dream."
"Brother-in-law, don't you say angry words, okay?" Li Er sighed and said, "The Wei Liuguan behind Wei Ziqi is too strong. If you have a falling out with him, there will be no good results. It will also affect your future career. Instead of continuing to make trouble, both sides will suffer, it is better to take a step back and the sky will be wide."
"If it doesn't work, I would rather not have a career prospect than bow to that little thief." Chai Shao answered decisively and his attitude was extremely firm.
Li Er had no choice but to turn his eyes to Chai Shen, the head of the Chai family. Chai Shen was hesitant and said after a long time: "The little thief insults my daughter's reputation and ruins my daughter for life. I will not kill this thief. I want me to bow to him unless the sky collapses and the earth breaks, and the iron tree blooms."
Li Er shut up completely and knew that no matter how to persuade him, it would be useless. Chai Shaoze asked: "Erlang, you just said that there are two choices, what is the second choice?"
Li Er was even more silent, suddenly bowed to Chai Shaoyi and said, "Brother-in-law, I have something to do, so I'll say goodbye first."
After saying that, Li Er turned around and left. Chai Shen and Chai Shao and his son were speechless and quickly spoke to keep Li Er, but Li Er didn't listen at all. Li Xiuning hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and got up and chased after him. He first pulled Li Er, dragged Li Er back to the room, then drove away all the people present, and closed the door with his own hands, then asked Li Er in a low voice: "Erlang, in your opinion, what will Wei Xuan's grandson react after killing and silence?"
"Kill someone to silence?"
Chai Shen and Chai Shao changed their faces together, Li Er had a expressionless face, lowered his head slightly and refused to speak. Li Xiuning sighed softly, holding Li Er's hand and said sincerely: "Erlang, my sister knows that doing this is too cruel and hurts the world, but this matter is getting bigger and bigger, it has already concerns the future and destiny of your brother-in-law's family, and she can't turn back. Marry chickens and follow chickens and dogs and follow dogs. My sister is now a member of the Chai family and must consider them. So Erlang, I beg you to help us finish this matter once. Your brother-in-law is not an ungrateful person, and will definitely reward you in the future."
After all, Li Er was young and was a brother and brother with Li Xiuning. After hearing Li Xiuning's sincere words, he was inevitably a little shaken, but he still couldn't make up his mind for a moment. Li Xiuning saw his second brother's concern and said, "Erlang, that little thief Chen Yingliang is not an innocent and kind person. His father-in-law sent someone to break the engagement and almost forced Chen Yingliang to death. This is wrong. However, Chen Yingliang implicated innocent people, and also harmed your sister Qian'er's life. If he lets him make trouble, your sister Qian'er's life will be completely finished. For your sister Qian'er, even if this matter is unrighteous, we must do it."
"There are also our Li family." Li Xiuning whispered again: "The Chai-Li marriage and the Chai family is destroyed. Even if the Li family is not implicated, it will be greatly damaged in terms of reputation. Erlang, for yourself and for our father, you must help your sister this time."
After hesitating for a long time, Li Er was finally moved and lowered his head and whispered: "As long as you do it confidentially and leave no evidence, even if Wei's grandfather and grandson have suspicions and even secretly concluded that it was yours, he can only choose to suffer a loss in silence, because Daxing County is now in the war to arrest Chen Yingliang, and he also uses the reputation of a traitor and a party. Chen Yingliang, a traitor and a party, lives in Wei's mansion and suddenly dies inexplicably before the charges of whitewashing. Even if Wei's grandfather and grandson jump into the Yellow River, he cannot wash it in silence. Only by choosing to suffer a loss in silence is the smart choice."
Chai Shen and Chai Shao's eyes lit up together, and they whispered together. Chai Shao said happily: "The clever plan Chen Yingliang died suddenly and had no evidence of death. It is equivalent to confirming the crime of his remnants of the thief. The government found out that he had once lived in Wei's Mansion. Old Man Wei and Wei Ziqi could not explain clearly even if they had a hundred mouths. They could only suffer a loss in silence, otherwise, no matter how big the matter is, the unlucky one will be Old Man Wei and his grandson."
"But in this way, you will have a great grudge with the guards." Li Er reminded softly.
"The old man's grandson wants our Chai family to die. Isn't this a big revenge?" Chai Shao roared in a low voice and then asked, "Erlang, if Chen Yingliang's little thief has been hiding in the Wei Mansion and not coming out, and we can't directly find someone in the Wei Mansion, how can he keep silent forever?"
Li Er turned his face away and said softly after a long time, "It is best to send someone to secretly stare at the Wei Mansion. If there is no chance, Wei stayed behind and returned to Daxing, Wei Ziqi will definitely go out to welcome him. At that time, he will impersonate a restaurant clerk and pretend that it was the wine and food ordered by Wei Ziqi to reward Chen Yingliang's servant, and send some good wine and food to Chen Yingliang's servant. Chen Yingliang's servant has a deep relationship, so he will definitely be at the same table. All hidden dangers can be eliminated at that time."
Chai Shen and Chai Shao and his son showed ecstasy. After thinking for a while, Chai Shen immediately made up his mind and whispered to Chai Shao: "Just do it like this, make more detailed arrangements and calculate the distance. The team left by the guards will probably be able to return to Daxing the day after tomorrow, and move quickly."
Chai Shao nodded quickly, his handsome face was still full of ferociousness, and Li Er sighed softly, feeling extremely guilty. Li Xiuning saw his second brother's concern, so he took Li Er's hand and patted it gently, and said softly: "Second brother, it's embarrassing you. Sister promised you that if you have the chance in the future, my sister and your brother-in-law's family will definitely repay you for this kindness."
Li Er was speechless, just comforted himself in his heart: "Don't blame me for Chen Yingliang, who has never met before. The current situation is either you die, or Uncle Chai and his family die. Chai Shao is my brother-in-law after all, and I must help him in terms of feelings and reason. If you and I exchange situations, I believe you will also choose this way. Besides, you are too sorry to Sister Qian'er. I treat you like this, so you deserve it."
