After returning to the room, Dong Xiaowan became more and more angry as she thought about it. She lay on the bedside and cried bitterly.
"Dad, after you leave, everyone will come to bully our Dong family, especially Yang Jian, he is simply an ungrateful bastard..."
The more Dong Xiaowan cried, the sadder she became, and soon even the quilt was soaked.
"Dad, Wan'er really misses you. Please come back. Wan'er won't be naughty anymore..."
People always learn to cherish something after losing it.
After Dong Li died, Dong Zhuo knew what regret was, but no matter how good he was to his adopted son Li Yuanba, his biological son Dong Li could never come back.
It's the same now.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Dong Xiaowan truly understood what it meant to be unaware of blessings despite being blessed. When he thought back to the time when his father was still alive, compared with now, it was like a paradise and a hell.
"Xiaowan."
A cold voice came from behind, and Dong Xiaowan must have been stunned immediately. This voice was too familiar to her, but wasn't the owner of the voice dead?
"Brother-in-law, is that you?"
Dong Xiaowan raised his head tremblingly, and when he saw that extremely familiar face, he was frightened and turned pale, exclaiming: "Ghost..."
When Li Shimin saw Dong Xiaowan was about to scream, he quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.
"Don't scream, I'm not dead."
Hearing this, Dong Xiaowan stopped struggling, and Li Shimin slowly let go of his hand.
"Brother-in-law, are you really not dead?" Dong Xiaowan asked worriedly.
Li Shimin said angrily: "Have you ever seen a ghost with body temperature and shadow?"
Dong Xiaowan was stunned, touched Li Shimin's face, and found that there was indeed warmth, and saw that there were indeed shadows under the candlelight, and immediately hugged Li Shimin with tears of joy.
"Brother-in-law, I knew you wouldn't die..."
Li Shimin knew that Dong Xiaowan must have suffered a lot of grievances during this period. After all, his father-in-law died and he was away. Both the Dong and Li families had lost their backbone. The Li family was okay, with Li Keyong and Li Xiaogong here, but the Dong family only had women and children.
, those enemies will definitely come in droves.
Patting Dong Xiaowan's undulating jade back, Li Shimin said softly: "Brother-in-law is back, and he is back with the truth. From now on, no one can bully our family."
Dong Xiaowan, who was lying in Li Shimin's arms, felt unprecedentedly at ease at this moment. This man's chest was so warm.
"Brother-in-law, did you just say the 'truth'?"
Dong Xiaowan looked puzzled and asked: "What's the truth?"
A coldness flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you think your father-in-law really died in Jia Fu's hands?"
Dong Xiaowan's eyes widened and he asked eagerly: "What do you mean?"
"Since Jia Fu is ready to release him, he will never kill him. Besides, his father-in-law is also a martial arts practitioner and is very strong. How could he be beaten to death with one punch."
A strange look flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said unhurriedly: "Don't you think this is strange?"
Dong Xiaowan had a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Brother-in-law, are you saying that there is another hidden reason for my father's death?"
"That's right."
Li Shimin took a deep breath and asked: "Think about it, even if my father-in-law was seriously injured, there were so many military doctors here, and instead of getting better, my father-in-law's injury worsened and worsened overnight. This is completely against medical common sense."
.”
"It's true what you said, but who killed my father?"
Li Shimin did not answer, but instead asked: "Given the situation at that time, who would benefit the most once his father-in-law dies?"
Dong Xiaowan's pupils suddenly shrank and he said harshly: "Yang Jian."
"That's right. If I guessed correctly, after Yang Jian carried his father-in-law's coffin back to Guanzhong, he certainly didn't let anyone get close to his father-in-law's body, right?"
"Um."
Dong Xiaowan nodded heavily and said bitterly: "As soon as my father's body was brought back, I wanted to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. However, Yang Jian used the long journey, hot weather, and the reason that the body was already rotten, so he burned his father's body on the way.
.”
Li Shimin sneered and said: "He is destroying the corpse and eradicating traces!"
In fact, what Li Shimin said to Dong Xiaowan was just his own speculation without any evidence. However, he was certain that there was definitely something wrong with Yang Jian, otherwise he would never have been so anxious to cremate Dong Zhuo's body.
Li Shimin is about to have a complete confrontation with Yang Jian, so of course he will use any means. The best way to attack Yang Jian at present is undoubtedly to blame Dong Zhuo's death on Yang Jian.
Dong Zhuo's death itself is filled with too many doubts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the biggest mystery in the world.
Therefore, regardless of whether Dong Zhuo was murdered by Yang Jian or not, as long as he was related to the murder of Dong Zhuo, Yang Jian would not be able to explain it clearly even if he had ten mouths, and the Liang generals would be alienated from Yang Jian.
Li Shimin's plan was not innocuous. It was a desperate plan for Yang Jian, because Dong Zhuo was originally killed by himself. No matter how he investigated, at the end of the investigation, all doubts would point to him. Once he was convicted of murdering Dong Zhuo,
If so, then his previous efforts will be in vain.
"Damn it, how could Yang Jian, a thief like this, be like this? If dad hadn't promoted him, he would still be a petty official. Doesn't he have a dark heart? How can he be so ungrateful?"
Dong Xiaowan obviously couldn't accept it and kept cursing Yang Jian, but the more she scolded her, the angrier she became.
"Xiaowan, don't worry, brother-in-law, I will definitely avenge my father-in-law."
Li Shimin stared at Dong Xiaowan with burning eyes and said seriously: "When brother-in-law has laid out the plan, we will take back everything Yang Jian took away from his father-in-law. But before that, I hope Xiaowan you can help brother-in-law."
Dong Xiaowan didn't even think about it and said directly: "Brother-in-law, tell me, as long as Xiaowan can do it, he will definitely help. Xiaowan also wants to avenge his father."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Of the generals in the Liang faction who have military power and remain neutral, now only General Hua Xiong is left. I want you to convince General Hua Xiong to side with us, and then pretend to defect to Yang Jian."
Under his command."
Dong Xiaowan's eyes suddenly lit up, but then he frowned and said, "But when Yang Jian made things difficult for my Dong family, Uncle Hua didn't even stand up to help me. Will he listen to me?"
Li Shimin touched Dong Xiaowan's head and said: "Silly girl, General Hua Xiong is my father-in-law's most trusted general. He also watched you grow up. How could he ignore you? If it weren't for him and Li Jue and Guo Si
General, I'm afraid you would have been taken away by force a long time ago."
After that, Li Shimin told Hua Xiong about secretly protecting the Dong family, and Dong Xiaowan felt ashamed after hearing this.
"I didn't expect that all your uncles would do so much for Xiaowan. Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will definitely help you convince Uncle Hua."
A glint flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. With the enemy in the open and our own in the dark, he had obtained the favorable geographical location and harmony, but now he was only a moment away from the opportunity!
