Chapter 473 Chen Xiaobei wants to visit the prison
When he returned to his residence, Liu Kai put the jade pendant on the table. Even Liu Ce and Liu Tie were slightly surprised.
Liu Tie's proposal was originally to cooperate with Chen Xiaobei, but he didn't expect Liu Rumei to directly send the message and follow Chen Xiaobei's arrangement.
But since it was Liu Rumei who spoke, I believe she has her own reasons.
Early the next morning, Liu Kai took Liu Tie and Liu Ce to the inn to find Chen Xiaobei.
Chen Xiaobei had just gotten up and had not gone to eat noodles when he saw them coming. He still maintained considerable respect for the old housekeeper Liu Kai and politely asked them to his room, "Butler, what can I do?
, just give the order, why bother going there in person."
Liu Kai cupped his fist, took out Liu Rumei's jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it forward, "I went to visit my young lady in the prison last night."
"When the young lady learned that you came from Hetou Village, she told me to send you a message and ask Chief Chen to help rescue the old Marquis!"
Chen Xiaobei had a lot of contacts with Liu Rumei, so he naturally knew this jade pendant, and when he saw Liu Kai's sincere words, he couldn't help but feel inspired.
She is just a villager who came all the way from other places to the capital. To put it bluntly, she has no relatives or connections here, but Liu Rumei places her hope of rescuing his father on herself. There is only one possibility, and that is Liu Rumei.
Already desperate, there was no one else in the capital who could help, so Liu Rumei had to place her hope on herself.
If this was in Hetou Village, Chen Xiaobei would most likely refuse it.
The Lord Protector can be said to be a very human minister, even second only to the emperor. How could his daughter come to him for help in such a lowly manner? But today's situation is different.
Seeing the sad faces of Liu Kai and the others, Chen Xiaobei also sighed secretly in his heart. Liu Xiangnan's family is loyal. Liu Rumei has been stationed in Qingniu County all year round to protect the dragon vein.
Liu Yuanwu even died in Qingniu Mountain, but in the end he ended up like this. It corresponded to the dramas he often watched in his previous life, which said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Today, he had a perfect experience with Liu Xiangnan.
But now there is no point in saying this. The most important thing is to get Liu Xiangnan and Liu Rumei Liu out of prison.
Seeing that Chen Xiaobei was silent, Liu Tie thought that he didn't want to care about this matter, so he clasped his fists again and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xiaobei, if you can rescue my Marquis, I, Liu Tie, am willing to work hard to repay your kindness!"
When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he immediately realized that they had misunderstood what he meant. He hurriedly stood up and gave Liu Tie a gift in return, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Liu Tie, you misunderstood. I was just thinking about how to defeat the old Marquis."
Get rescued."
As soon as they heard this, everyone became energetic. They all stared at him with wide eyes, hoping that he would come up with some clever ideas right away.
Chen Xiaobei sighed and said slowly, "The reason why the old marquis was imprisoned was not just because of these rumors, but the emperor had a deeper plan. The prince will succeed to the throne immediately, whether it is the old marquis or the old prime minister."
, they are all extremely prestigious people in the court. If they are still in the capital and encounter something difficult to decide, civil and military officials will naturally come to them to discuss countermeasures. This is something that the emperor is very afraid of."
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Liu Kaixin secretly felt admiration. In fact, he thought of this. He didn't expect that Chen Xiaobei could see things so clearly at such a young age.
He clasped his fists at Chen Xiaobei again and said in a deep voice, "Since Chen Lichang thinks that the emperor did this intentionally, how should we respond?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly, "This is actually not difficult. All the emperor wants is people's hearts, so just give them back to him."
After listening to his words, Liu Kai said impatiently, "The last time I went to Tianlao, I also told the old Marquis that he wanted to report to the Emperor that he was willing to resign and return to his hometown, but I haven't had time to take out this memorial.
.”
After hearing his words, Chen Xiaobei shook his head slightly and said, "Prime Minister Fang is resigning and returning to his hometown, but that still doesn't relieve the emperor's doubts. What's more, Lord Liu has a very high prestige in the military, which is not comparable to that of Prime Minister Fang.
How can the emperor feel at ease in my hometown?"
After listening to his words, Liu Kai pondered for a while, "You mean to let the old Marquis retire from now on and not be involved in affairs."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "Retirement is not enough. I think it is better to convert to Buddhism, chant sutras and worship Buddha every day, and pray for the blessings of our Dacang country."
After hearing this, Liu Kai, Liu Tie and others looked at each other. It was obvious that even Liu Kai and the others could not accept such a sudden retreat, let alone Liu Xiangnan.
"Chen Lichang, what you said is a bit too much. The old Marquis worked hard all his life to earn the title of Protector of the Country. If he loses it all at once, then what is the purpose of the Marquis's hard work all his life?"
Seeing that he still didn't understand, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
"If you can save your life in this way, you are very lucky. Moreover, even if you say you want to convert to Buddhism now, the emperor thinks that you want to retreat in order to advance, and he may not agree, so we have to wait for the opportunity."
Having said this, Liu Kai's heart was full of disappointment. He didn't expect that he would discuss strategies with Chen Xiaoben and end up with this result.
They said they might be able to accept retiring from old age and returning home, but they didn't expect Chen Xiaobei to directly ask the old Marquis to become a monk. Not to mention Liu Xiangnan, even one of their servants couldn't accept it.
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Liu Kai exchanged greetings with Chen Xiaobei, clasped his fists and left.
Watching Liu Kai leave, Chen Xiaobei shook his head slightly. Fame and wealth can kill people, but Liu Kai and the others were still unwilling to give up the prosperity in front of them, fearing that they would kill Liu Xiangnan in the end.
However, he didn't care about Liu Xiangnan's life or death, but he did care about Liu Rumei's life or death. After all, this was his benefactor. Chen Xiaobei made up his mind that he had to visit the prison.
But his eyesight was darkened, and he had to clear up the relationship before visiting the prison, so he had no choice but to come to Lamu.
After hearing his thoughts, Lamu was startled, "Brother Xiaobei, let's just help make suggestions from behind. If we go directly to visit the prison, wouldn't it be clear that you want to be involved in this matter?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly, "Brother, don't worry about it. Just help me clear the relationship and let me see Liu Rumei tonight."
Lamu thought for a while and nodded, "If nothing else can help, I can still help you by sending you to the Green Mage's Law Department's prison."
It has to be said that Lamu still had some tricks up his sleeve. It had just turned dark and Chen Xiaobei hadn't finished his meal before he came.
Huang Ying still seemed a little worried when she heard that Chen Xiaobei was going to jail.
Chen Xiaobei smiled indifferently, "Remember, if anything happens to me, you will leave Wannian City immediately and go back to find your sister Hongyu."
After saying that, he followed Lamu without looking back.
Watching Chen Xiaobei walk away, Huang Ying shed helpless tears.
