Chen Yingliang finally neglected a hundred secrets once, but this can't be blamed on Chen Yingliang's carelessness, because Chen Yingliang never expected that the Chai family would look for Chen Laosan's traces from the aspect of Chen Laosan's injury, and forgot to make up for this little thing in advance. However, the critical loopholes resulted in new branches.
To make matters worse, Wei Ziqi's kindness to Chen Yingliang also helped Lao Chai's family a lot. In order to fulfill his grandfather's entrustment in letters and take care of and protect Chen Yingliang and others for Wei Xuan, Wei Ziqi generously gave Chen Yingliang a lot of money. The third brother invited the most famous ulcer doctor in Daxing City, but Chen Laosan's injuries were carefully treated by the famous doctor in Daxing City. The clues of Chen Yingliang's whereabouts were naturally exposed.
This is not over yet. As we all know, our Lord Chai Shen, Chaijun, is the prince's right inner leader, and he is in command of the imperial city guards. Naturally, in daily training, he has to deal with ulcer doctors who are equivalent to surgeons. Naturally, he has a very wide network of contacts in this regard; Mr. Chai Shao Chai is also famous for being a chivalrous man, and he often fights bravely and fiercely with others. Naturally, he has many dealings with famous ulcer doctors in Daxing City. That's why Mr. Chai, the first famous doctor of bone injuries in Daxing, found after he went out in person, confided and explained the whereabouts of Chen Laosan to Chai Shao, and it went so smoothly that Chai Shao felt a little unbelievable.
It made Chai Shao even more unbelievable that he was still behind. When he learned that the old man with a broken leg who looked very similar to Chen Laosan was hiding in Wei Xuan's mansion, Chai Shao almost popped his eyes out, and exclaimed: "In Wei Liushou's mansion? How is it possible? How could that old man with a broken leg be in Wei Liushou's mansion? Doctor, do you remember wrongly?"
"Absolutely." Daxing's most famous orthopedic doctor replied confidently, "Just the night before last, Mr. Wei Ziqi, Mr. Wei, sent someone to take the grass people to his mansion and give them to an old man in his sixties. Healing the leg injury, the appearance is exactly the same as what you described, Mr. Chai, and the broken right leg is also the lower leg that you said, Mr. Chai."
Chai Shao was even more dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that Chen Yingliang's old slave, Chen Laosan, could hide in the house of Wei Xuan, a stubborn old man who almost no one dared to provoke in Daxing City, to heal his injuries! And the ulcer doctor added another sentence, saying: "By the way, there is one thing that is very strange. The old man's clothes are very tattered, and he is dressed like an ordinary person. At that time, I was very surprised. Come forward, but the identities of the villain and Mr. Wei are too different, so I dare not ask."
Chai Shao continued to be tongue-tied, and after a long time, Chai Shao suddenly remembered an important matter, and hurriedly asked: "Doctor Ulcer, beside the old man with a broken leg, there was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old who was very thin. She has a melon-shaped face with a pointed chin, and facial features like a woman's, how can it make people uncomfortable?"
"Yes." The ulcer doctor nodded quickly, and replied: "Beside the old man with the broken leg, there is a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen, who seems to be a relative of the old man with the broken leg, who has been serving the old man with the broken leg with his own hands. , I still call the old man Sanbo, and Mr. Wei calls him Mr. Chen. But the appearance of Mr. Chen is not annoying, not to mention his polite words, he is still a man and a woman, that is a sign of great wealth."
Chai Shao was basically sure that the old man and young man in the Weifu were Chen Laosan and Chen Yingliang, and it was completely unbelievable to the extreme, and he didn't know what to do for a while—if it was someone else, Chai Shao would definitely He has already brought his family members to the door to inquire about the crime, but does Chai Shao dare to go to the home of Emperor Weixuan of Daxingtu? Even if Wei Xuan is still on his way back to Daxing, Wei Ziqi is not an official official now, but if Chai Shao dares to go to Weifu to make trouble, even Wei Xuan, who is currently staying in Daxing, can take revenge without Wei Xuan going home to take revenge. Chai Shao chopped it up and fed it to the dog! When Emperor Sui Yang left Daxing, he personally told his grandson Yang You to present Wei Xuan as his disciple!
With nothing to do, Chai Shao had no choice but to hurry back to his home, report the incident to his father and wife, and then Chai Shen and Li Xiuning wondered if he was in a dream, and asked in unison: "Is the guard staying behind?" Home? How is it possible, is there a mistake? What kind of person is Wei Liushou, how could he take in someone like Chen Yingliang?!"
"I also hope that I made a mistake, but judging from the situation introduced by the ulcer doctor, it should be correct."
Chai Shao looked a little helpless, so he had to introduce the information he had obtained through the ulcer doctor in detail. Chai Shen and Li Xiuning opened their mouths wider the more they listened, and the more they listened, the more confused they became. The poor boy Chen Yingliang would run into the house of Wei Xuan, the emperor of Daxingtu, and be treated courteously by Wei Xuan's only grandson, Wei Ziqi? Even if Chai Shen and Li Xiuning broke their heads, they couldn't figure out why Wei Ziqi would do this. Chen Yingliang's master and servant, who were so poor that they picked leaves to cook porridge in the vegetable market, had any qualifications to be worthy of Wei Ziqi's respect
"Could it be...?" While thinking hard, Li Xiuning suddenly thought of a possibility, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "Sir, please send someone to my house, call Erlang, and ask him to help us with this matter."
"Erlang? Can he do it?" Chai Shao hesitated.
"Don't underestimate Erlang, he is a genius. Although he is only fifteen years old, his resourcefulness and scheming are far superior to ours. He will definitely be able to help with this matter." Li Xiuning replied.
Considering that it was Li Er's idea to investigate Chen Yingliang's whereabouts through the doctor, and the facts have proved that Li Er's suggestion is effective, Chai Shao nodded and asked quickly: "Do you want to call Da Lang too, let Da Lang Also helping the staff? Dalang is also a smart person, with more experience than Erlang, maybe he can help more."
Marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog. Li Xiuning, who is already a member of the Chai family, has to consider her husband, so she shook her head and said, "Don't let Da Lang know about this. Da Lang is really smart, but he is too calm and sophisticated, and he always I hate you for killing Chen Yingliang, and calling him here will only backfire." Chai Shao always obeyed his wife, so he didn't insist, and immediately sent someone to contact Li Er, and asked his brother-in-law to come to discuss matters in his brother-in-law's honor.
Li Er and Chai Shao's couple have a very deep relationship. After being summoned by Chai Shao, they immediately rushed to Taipingfang to meet with his sister's family. Before Chai Shao could speak, Li Er had already asked with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you called me here in such a hurry, do you have any clues about Chen Yingliang's whereabouts?"
Li Er soon stopped laughing, after learning what had happened from Chai Shao, no matter how talented Li Er was, he couldn't help exclaiming, for a while he couldn't believe that Chen Yingliang was hiding in Weixuan's mansion. After quickly calming down, Li Er made careful calculations, and soon his face changed slightly like his sister's, and he hurriedly asked Li Xiuning: "Sister, what do you think about this matter?"
"Sister thinks of a possibility, but she's not sure, so she can only ask your brother-in-law to discuss it with you."
Li Xiuning talked riddles with his younger brother, which made Chai Shen and Chai Shao and his son next to him puzzled, but what Li Er said next made Chai Shen and his son jump up in shock—Li Er said, "My younger brother thinks that only It's possible that Wei stayed at the mansion because he planned to take advantage of Chen Yingliang's incident and attack his brother-in-law's family."
"Attack us?" Chai Shen was frightened out of his wits, and exclaimed, "How is this possible? Wei Liushou and I have never had any enmity, why did he attack me?"
"Uncle Chai, there is only this explanation." Li Er said in a deep voice: "With Chen Yingliang's family background and status, it is absolutely impossible for the powerful grandparents of Wei Liushou to take in and protect him for no reason. Since Wei Liushou's mansion is doing this now Yes, this is enough to prove that someone in Wei Liushou's mansion wants to take advantage of Chen Yingliang to bring you down, uncle! Otherwise, why would Wei Liushou's mansion take Chen Yingliang in? After you asked Daxing County to post a notice to arrest Chen Yingliang, Wei Liushou Why didn't the family say a word, didn't make any response?"
"Why?" Chai Shao asked quickly.
"Someone in Wei Liushou's mansion hopes that the bigger the trouble, the better." Li Er replied with a wry smile: "The bigger the trouble, the more Wei Liushou will take the initiative in doing it, at least it can help Uncle Chai and brother-in-law. The crime of avenging private revenge and framing the innocent, repenting and retiring the marriage is only a moral issue and does not violate the laws of the country, but this crime is a real violation of the laws of the country.”
Hearing Li Er's words, Chai Shen's body began to tremble, and Chai Shao's face turned pale, but Li Xiuning was calmer, and asked, "Who is most likely to target the father-in-law, Wei Liushou himself, or his grandson Wei Ziqi?" ?”
"My little brother thinks that Wei Ziqi is the most likely." Li Er analyzed: "First, Wei Liushou is still on his way back to Daxing at this moment, and has not returned to Daxing City. It is unlikely that he will personally take action against Uncle Chai."
"Secondly, Wei Liushou would never have expected that, Uncle Chai, you would accuse Chen Yingliang of being an accomplice to the bandit."
"Uncle Chai, you asked the Daxing government to arrest Chen Yingliang. It was just a sudden accident. If there was no such accident, the conflict between you and Chen Yingliang, Uncle, would just be the divorce. With such a personality, it is almost impossible to care about such a trivial matter, let alone make a big fuss about it."
"The third is even simpler. There is no reason for Wei Liushou to deal with Uncle Chai." Li Er added: "Forgive me, although Uncle Chai is the right inner rate of the fourth-rank crown prince, the real power in his hand is actually pitifully small. Palace bans and enshrined military battles are nothing but independent military power, and there is not much profit to be made. It is irrelevant in the court of the Sui Dynasty. It is unlikely that Wei's confidants who stay behind his command will take aim at such a half-empty position, thereby prompting Wei Liu Shou took down your Uncle Chai himself and made room for his henchmen. If so, why did Liu Shou Wei forcefully stand up for that kid Chen Yingliang and arrange Uncle Chai so carefully?"
In other cases, if Li Er pointed out to his face that Chai Shen and Duke Chaijun were not important in the Sui court, then even if Li Er was the younger brother of his daughter-in-law, Duke Chaijun would definitely slap him. , but this time was different. After being pointed out by Li Er that his position was irrelevant, Lord Chejun was quietly relieved, thankful that he was humble and insignificant, and it was not worthy of Old Wei's stubbornness to take care of him himself.
"So, the possibility that Wei Ziqi is behind this incident is the greatest?" Li Xiuning said calmly, "The father-in-law's position is naturally not worth mentioning in the eyes of Wei Liushou. In Ziqi's eyes, he is a sweet potato, whether for himself or for his friends, it is worth his effort to bring down the father-in-law."
"There is another possibility." Li Er calmly said: "Wei Ziqi is quite an upright person. Although he is not jealous of evil, he is still eager to do justice. He is quite famous in Daxing City. Such a person cannot be ruled out. He wants to restrain the strong and support the weak, and uphold justice for Chen Yingliang, not only to vent his anger on Chen Yingliang, but also to make him more famous in Daxing City."
Chai Shao gritted his teeth, hating Wei Ziqi's dog and mouse, meddling in his own business! Chai Shen, on the other hand, was frowning, and said with a mournful face, "Leaving aside what Wei Ziqi's purpose is, what should we do now? Behind Wei Ziqi is Wei Liushou, and I can't afford to offend him either."
"Uncle Chai, forgive my little nephew, it's your own fault." Li Er said with a wry smile, "If you don't let the government arrest Chen Yingliang, even if Wei Ziqi does it, he can only take advantage of your divorce. If you make a fuss about it, your reputation will be damaged today. But now, you have forced Chen Yingliang to be accused of being a traitor to the remnants of the party, and framed innocent people. Didn’t you send the knife to Wei Ziqi yourself? Wait until Wei stays behind and returns to Daxing , Wei Ziqi sends Chen Yingliang to Wei Liushou, and then tells the story, how Wei Liushou will react, do you dare to imagine?"
Reminiscent of the strength of Wei Xuan, the emperor of Daxing, the faces of Chai Shen and Chai Shao and his son suddenly turned pale. After a while, Chai Shen said with a dejected expression: "Actually, it's not entirely about framing innocent people. We asked Daxing County to arrest that little thief Chen Yingliang." , there is also..., alas, let’s not talk about this, the deal is done, Erlang, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Li Er opened his mouth to say something, but he swallowed the words and closed his mouth again. Li Xiuning kept paying attention to his younger brother's expression, and said, "Erlang, if you have anything to say, just say it. Mr. Chejun is me." Father-in-law, for my sister's sake, you can't just ignore death."
Li Er hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Chai, brother-in-law, you have only two choices now. The first choice is to go to Wei's mansion to make amends, directly speak to Wei Ziqi, and then face Chen Yingliang Master and servant apologize, give them some compensation, in exchange for them to calm down. In this way, Wei Ziqi should also stop his troubles."
"Impossible!" Chai Shao was furious, and said viciously: "The little thief surnamed Chen has ruined our Chai family like this, ruined our Chai family's reputation, and ruined Qianmei's life. If you don't put him to death , It’s hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart! I want our Chai family to apologize to him, dreaming!”
"Brother-in-law, please stop being angry, okay?" Li Er sighed and said, "Wei Liushou behind Wei Ziqi is too powerful. If you fall out with him, there will be no good fruit to eat, and it will affect your future. Instead of continuing to quarrel and hurt both sides, it is better to take a step back, and the sea and the sky will be brighter."
"No! I would rather not have an official career, and I will never bow to that little thief!" Chai Shao answered decisively, with an extremely firm attitude.
Li Er had no choice but to turn his attention to Chai Shen, the patriarch of the Chai family. Chai Shen was hesitant, and after a long time he gritted his teeth and said: "The little thief insulted my beloved daughter's name and ruined my beloved daughter's life. If you don't kill this thief, it will be too late." The old man is kind, I want the old man to bow his head to him, unless the sky falls apart and the iron tree blooms!"
Li Er shut up completely, knowing that no amount of persuasion would be of use, Chai Shao asked: "Erlang, you just said that there are two choices, what is the second choice?"
Li Er was even more silent, and suddenly bowed his hands to Chai Shao, saying: "Brother-in-law, I still have some things to do, so I will take my leave first."
After saying that, Li Er turned around and left. Chai Shen and Chai Shao and his son were tongue-tied, and hurriedly asked Li Er to stay, but Li Er didn't even look back and didn't listen at all. Li Xiuning hesitated again and again, and finally got up and chased after him. First, he grabbed Li Er and dragged him back into the room, then drove away all the people present, and closed the door with his own hands, and then asked Li Er in a low voice: "Erlang, in your opinion, after killing and silence , How will Wei Xuan's grandparents react?"
"Murder and silence?!"
Chai Shen and Chai Shao changed their faces together, while Li Er was expressionless, with his head slightly lowered and refused to speak, Li Xiuning sighed softly, took Li Er's hand and said sincerely: "Erlang, sister also knows that this is too much. Vicious and hurtful, but this matter is getting bigger and bigger, it has already related to the future and destiny of your brother-in-law's family, and there is no turning back. Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, my sister is now a member of the Chai family , must be considered for them. So Erlang, my sister begs you once to help us settle this matter. Your brother-in-law is not an ungrateful person, and he will definitely reward you generously in the future."
After all, Li Er was young, and he and Li Xiuning were siblings. Hearing Li Xiuning's sincere words, he was inevitably a little shaken, but he still couldn't make up his mind for the moment. Li Xiuning saw what was on his second brother's mind, so he said again: "Erlang, that little thief Chen Yingliang is not an innocent and kind person. Father-in-law sent someone to break off the engagement and almost forced Chen Yingliang to death. This is wrong. But Chen Yingliang got involved Innocent, it also killed your sister Qian'er for the rest of her life. If you let him continue to make trouble, your life will be completely over for your sister Qian'er. For your sister Qian'er, even if this is unjust, we have to do it .”
"There is also our Li family." Li Xiuning said in a low voice again: "Chai and Li are married, and the Chai family is destroyed. Even if the Li family is not implicated, their reputation will be greatly damaged. Erlang, for yourself and for ours Father, you have to help sister this time."
After hesitating for a long time, Li Er was finally moved. He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "As long as it is kept secret and no evidence is left, even if Wei Liushou's grandchildren have doubts, or even secretly conclude that you did it, they can only choose to suffer from being dumb." , because Daxing County is now looking for Chen Yingliang, and it is using the reputation of arresting the traitor's party. Chen Yingliang, the traitor's party, lived in the Wei Mansion, and died suddenly and suddenly without any reason. Even if Sun jumps into the Yellow River, he won't be able to clean himself up, and the only way to choose to be dumb is to choose wisely."
Chai Shen and Chai Shao's eyes lit up together, and they cheered together in a low voice. Chai Shao said joyfully, "A great plan! The little thief Chen Yingliang's sudden and unexplained death, with no proof of his death, means that he has been convicted of treason against the remnants of the party. Then it was found out that he used to live in the Wei Mansion, old man Wei and Mr. Wei couldn't speak clearly with a hundred mouths, so they could only suffer from being dumb! Otherwise, if things get worse, it will be old man Wei and his grandson who will be unlucky!"
"But in this way, you will have a big enmity with Wei Liushou." Li Er reminded softly.
"The old man's grandson wants our Chai family to die. Isn't this a great enmity?!" Chai Shao roared in a low voice, and then asked, "Erlang, if that little thief Chen Yingliang stays in the Wei manor and doesn't come out, how can we If you can't find someone directly in Weifu, how can you make him shut up forever?"
Li Er turned his face away, and said softly after a long time: "Send someone to secretly watch the Wei mansion. It is of course best to have a chance to do it outside. If there is no chance, Wei Ziqi will definitely go out of the city to greet you on the day Wei stays behind and returns to Daxing. From time to time, someone will be sent to pretend to be a waiter in the restaurant, pretending to be the food and drink ordered by Wei Ziqi to reward Chen Yingliang's master and servant, and send some good wine and food to Chen Yingliang's master and servant. All hazards."
Chai Shen and Chai Shao's father and son showed ecstasy together. After thinking for a while, Chai Shen immediately made up his mind, and whispered to Chai Shao: "Let's do it this way, make careful arrangements, calculate the distance, and the guard's team will probably You will be able to return to Daxing the day after tomorrow, so act quickly."
Chai Shao nodded quickly, his handsome face was still full of ferocity, while Li Er sighed lightly, feeling extremely guilty in his heart, Li Xiuning saw what was on his second brother's mind, so he took Li Er's hand and patted it lightly, and said softly : "Second brother, I've made it difficult for you. My sister promises you that if there is a chance in the future, my sister and your brother-in-law's family will definitely repay your kindness."
Li Er was silent, but comforted himself in his heart: "Chen Yingliang, who has never met, don't blame me. The current situation is either you or Uncle Chai and his family. After all, Chai Shao is my brother-in-law. I have to help him, if you and I exchanged situations, I believe you would choose the same way. Besides, you are too sorry for Sister Qian'er, and you deserve what I have done to you."
