Mrs. Li glared at him fiercely and reprimanded: "You evil thief, it turns out that all this is a good thing you did. Wang Er, do you know this?"
Li Ai lowered her head and remained silent.
Mrs. Li just thought he acquiesced and said sternly: "Why didn't you arrest this thief in the first place!"
Wu Chengsi suddenly said: "Mrs. Li, don't you understand yet?"
Mrs. Li turned her head and said coldly: "What do you mean by this?"
Wu Chengsi said: "Ouyang Chong is very skilled in martial arts. Since he came prepared, it is not so easy to catch him. If he escapes, your disease will never be cured."
Mrs. Li was stunned immediately.
Mrs. Wu was stunned and said, "Then is this the reason why my Wei'er disagrees?"
Wu Chengsi said: "Not only that, but also because of Ouyang Chong's request."
"any request?"
"Do you think he said testing the medicine is easy? That means testing the medicine with a living person's life!" Wu Chengsi said coldly.
The expressions of Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Li changed instantly, especially Mrs. Li's expression changed rapidly.
After a long time, Mrs. Li suddenly seemed to have made a decision. She grimaced and said coldly: "That's nonsense. It seems that my Wang'er is right. You are the one who killed Wei'er. Sister Wu, let's go back."
!”
"Sister, what are you..." Mrs. Wu was shocked.
Mrs. Li said sternly: "Chun'er, help Sister Wu get on the carriage!"
Even Li Ai was a little surprised by her sudden change, and stared at her mother blankly.
Little did they know that although Li was born in a humble family, after marrying into the palace, she maintained the dignity of the palace more than others.
She understood in an instant that if Li Ai just made a mistake, she would naturally make him correct it severely.
But the matter of using living people to test medicine is different. If word spreads, not only will Li Ai be in danger, but it will also implicate Prince Lu's palace in the capital.
She would never let this happen.
Mrs. Wu seemed to have figured it out, she lowered her head as if resigned to her fate and allowed the maid to help her out.
Ouyang Chong secretly snorted and said to their backs: "When I went to the palace, although Wu Wei refused to agree, Li Ai agreed immediately. Although I haven't developed a finished medicine yet, he has a semi-finished medicine.
A lot of credit.”
Mrs. Li kept walking and walked faster. Mrs. Wu seemed to want to turn around, but was forcibly pulled away by the maid.
In the inn hall, all the government servants and guards looked a little ugly. Everyone was thinking: "I know about King Fan Yang's scandal. I wonder if he will be killed and silenced."
Even Li Wen was a little uneasy and thought to himself: "This Li Ai is so soft and weak on the outside, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing. I don't have any guards around me to protect him. If he is so crazy, he might not even let me go."
He looked in the direction of the door, wondering whether he should pretend to leave as if nothing had happened.
Li Ai stared at Wu Chengsi coldly, with a dark cloud on his forehead, and said, "Do you think inviting my mother here will be useful?"
Wu Chengsi sighed and said: "I originally thought Mrs. Li would dissuade you, but it seems that I didn't think well. But there is one thing I still don't understand. Can you let me die happily?"
Li Ai said coldly: "Tell me about it?"
"Why did you want to kill Wu Wei?"
Li Ai was silent for a moment and sneered: "Brother Wu was obviously killed by you, but I would like to ask you why you did this. However, I am not in a hurry. I will wait until you arrive in prison before answering this question."
Not too late."
Wu Chengsi winked at Zhugenan.
Zhuge Nan understood immediately, took out a loud arrow and shot it out of the gate, startling the guards and government officials surrounding the gate.
In a teahouse near the door, Qian Niuwei, who was responsible for monitoring the movement, saw the sounding arrow and shot another one into the air.
After Li Ai heard this, he smiled coldly and said: "So you have made arrangements, but it's a pity that this is Linhai County and this is my king's territory. It will be useless for you to make any arrangements!"
Capt. Wang, who had just been thrown out of the door, walked in again and said fiercely: "Boy, you dare to go against the prince and beat the official. I think you are tired of living. To tell you the truth, this captivity has already been reported to the governor.
There will be hundreds of government officials coming to the government soon, and you can’t even fly with your wings!"
Wu Chengsi calmed down and said, "Really? Then we'll just wait and see."
Li Ai was about to speak when suddenly he felt the ground shaking slightly and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
The guard commander beside him turned pale and said, "Your Highness, it's the voice of the cavalry!"
Wang Baotou was stunned when he heard this, and whispered: "Your Highness, could it be that the sergeant from Zhechong Mansion who you assigned is here?"
Li Ai thought to herself: "Linhai Zhechong Mansion is full of infantry, where are the cavalry?" Ignoring him, he ran out of the inn and looked towards the street.
After a while, I saw a commotion coming from the front. I saw two cavalry driving the crowd in front, followed by a dark group of cavalry.
"This...this is..." Li Ai was speechless. These cavalrymen were wearing Qianniu Guard armor.
In an instant, these cavalrymen surrounded Li Ai's men. Li Duozuo turned over and dismounted, and Li Ai asked tremblingly: "This... this general, what are you Qianniu Guards doing here?"
Without saying a word, Li Duozuo walked straight past him with several sergeants. After entering the inn, he cupped his hands with Wu Chengsi and said, "General Li Duozuo and his five hundred sergeants have been ordered to come and are waiting for the prince's military order."
.”
Li Ai, who followed, was surprised again.
Prince? Impossible. He knows all the princes of the Li family. Although many of them have not been seen for many years, it is impossible not to know them at all.
How could this person be the prince?
Suddenly, he remembered something and exclaimed: "You...you are Wu Chengsi, the king of Changping County!"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Yes, I am Wu Chengsi."
Hearing this, Wang Captou immediately collapsed to the ground in fright. First he offended a prince, and now he offended a prince. What crime had he done?
The police officers behind him all looked at him with resentment. Following such a move, not only the future was hopeless, but also their lives were in danger. Some people were already quietly retreating out of the door.
Li Wen was even more frightened. He looked down at the table and shouted in his heart: "He is actually Wu Chengsi? What is going on? Isn't Wu Chengsi on his way to Yangzhou? Not good! He won't find us.
Have you made plans?"
Li Ai's face changed several times, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "He asked you to come, right?"
Wu Chengsi was stunned and said: "You mean Wu Wei?"
"Stop pretending!" Li Ai hissed:
"If he hadn't written a letter asking you to come, how could you have come to this place? He deceived me so hard. He said he just wrote you a few days ago. In fact, he had already told me about my affairs.
I told you everything, right?"
Wu Chengsi frowned and said, "You said Wu Wei wrote me a letter?"
Li Ai seemed to have lost control of his emotions and hissed: "Yes, since he learned that you were appointed as the Governor of Yangzhou, he began to threaten me to stop testing the medicine, and forced me to deal with those pirates with him!"
Wu Chengsi sighed in his heart. He originally found it strange that Wu Wei had turned a blind eye to Li Ai and the pirates' drug testing before, so why did he suddenly fall out with them.
Unexpectedly, it was because of myself.
Xu Wenqing mustered up his courage and said: "Li... Li Ai, Wu Wei's advice to you is obviously for your own good. Why didn't you listen to his advice and killed him?"
Li Ai sneered and said, "He said it just like you. He kept saying it was for my own good, and he also said he wouldn't hand me over."
"Isn't this great? Why don't you agree?" Xu Wenqing asked strangely.
Li Ai smiled miserably and said: "What a joke! If he doesn't confess me, won't those pirates confess him?"
He looked at Wu Chengsi and said, "I came to the inn to look for him that day, actually because I wanted him not to tell you about it. Later I chased him to his house and had a showdown with him, but he told me that he had already given it to you.
I wrote a letter and told all about the drug test!"
Wu Chengsi immediately remembered the conversation between Li Ai and Wu Wei when he came to the inn that day.
"Li Ai, what are you doing here?"
"Brother Wu, can you stop messing around?"
"Who is this nonsense?"
"Brother Wu, are you doing this right for your aunt?"
"You don't need to teach me a lesson! Mr. Wang, I order you to arrest them immediately!"
At that time, Wu Chengsi felt a little uncoordinated.
Looking back now, what the two people were talking about was not about Wu Wei trying to arrest Xu Wenqing at all, but about testing the medicine.
