No matter how difficult it is, there is no way out, and he agreed to inquire about the news for the eldest grandson siblings. Chen Yingliang had to give the eldest grandson an answer no matter what. The reason for the arrest was passed on to the eldest grandson siblings and Gao Shilian's relatives—just concealing the fact that his distant uncle Pei Yun was behind the scenes.
After waiting for a long time, but in the end, they waited for such a shocking news. Knowing that Gao Shilian was arrested for being involved in treason and treason, Gao Shilian's elderly mother fainted on the spot. The younger sister also burst into tears, and she had to rescue Gao's mother while crying bitterly. The scene was chaotic and miserable to the extreme. Although Chen Yingliang was just an outsider, because his conscience had not been eaten by dogs, he felt very uncomfortable beside him. Very sympathetic to the Gao family.
Sure enough, just like what Chen Yingliang was worried about, the incident was crying bitterly. Gao's wife Xianyu suddenly discovered Chen Yingliang's existence, trotted up to Chen Yingliang, saluted, and said in a crying voice: "Vice Chen, you are also an imperial court official, and you are also the one who calmed down Yang Xuangan." The great hero of the rebellion, please save my husband, he was wronged, it is true that he and Hu Sizheng have contacts, but they are just ordinary friends, there is no special friendship, my family is loyal to the court , even if he is killed, he would not dare to participate in the conspiracy. I beg you to explain this to the court and save my family."
Mrs. Xianyu took the lead, and Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gao also came to Chen Yingliang immediately, saluted and bowed, crying and begging Chen Yingliang to help him. Mrs. Changsun, it's not that the younger generation doesn't want to rescue her, it's because the younger generation has no choice. The younger generation is just a mere deputy of the crown prince, who speaks lightly in the court. "
"Brother, please think of a way." Changsun Wuji knelt down to Chen Yingliang, wept and said, "Both Wei Liushou and Fan Liushou value you very much. The last time you spoke, you were rescued from Daiwang Dao." Father and son of the Chai family, please be merciful and ask them to speak up for my uncle, so my uncle will be safe and sound."
Chen Yingliang made it even more difficult, and said dejectedly: "Brother Wuji, even if you didn't say that, I have already asked the guard to stay behind, but this case is an imperial case, and the emperor personally ordered the guard to stay behind and arrest your uncle. , Wei Liushou can't say anything, and going forward, Dali Temple and Yushitai have to participate in the investigation of this case, and it is even more difficult for Wei Liushou to speak, so Wei Liushou can't help you in your affairs."
The eldest grandson Wuji burst into tears, and the eldest grandson Wugou's little Luoli behind him also burst into tears, imitating his elder brother and knelt down to Chen Yingliang, crying: "Brother Chen, Wugou knows that you are a kind person and also knows about uncle It’s difficult for you, but I still beg you, please save my uncle. If there is no uncle, we as a family will not be able to live. Brother Chen, I beg you, I will definitely repay Yours, I will definitely repay you."
Chen Yingliang was even more in a dilemma, scolding himself and pointing his back, but he had encountered such a bad thing, he couldn't do anything to help, and he couldn't get over his conscience if he didn't help, so Chen Yingliang had no choice but to perfunctory: "Guanyin maidservant, don't cry, don't worry Crying, let me think of a way, I promise you, I will do my best."
Chen Yingliang thought about it for a while, and said: "Well, I'll go back and think of a way first, and then I'll find out some information about this case. You wait patiently for news from me. Go to the prison tomorrow and ask Mr. Gao what he has. Plan, and then we will come up to save Mr. Gao. Also, you must not touch the letters and documents in Mr. Gao's study. The court may come to search these things. Since Mr. Gao is innocent, let them do whatever they want It's fine, but if you mess around or destroy something privately, Mr. Gao won't be able to tell."
Everyone in the Gao family nodded with tears in their eyes, and thanked Chen Yingliang a thousand times. Chen Yingliang was also afraid of continuing to get involved in this matter, so he excused himself as it was getting late, and led Chai Qian, who had been silent by the side, out, and sat on the chair he had hired before. carriage home. As a result, just when the coachman was waving his whip to urge the horse, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli ran out of the door again, saluted Chen Yingliang and cried, "Brother Chen, you know the situation of our brothers and sisters, uncle, he is very important to Wugou Reborn father, I beg you again, Wugou, please have him, if uncle can come back safely, Wugou is willing to serve you as a slave and handmaiden, to repay your great kindness for the rest of his life."
"Guanyin maidservant, don't say that, big brother will find a way to help you if he promises you, and he won't ask you for anything in return. You go back quickly, your grandmother is too old, you have to take good care of her, don't let What happened to her."
To put it bluntly, Chen Yingliang finally sent his eldest grandson, Xiao Luoli, home, and hurriedly urged the coachman to drive the horse away, lest the Gao family ran out to stop the horse and begged. It was only when the carriage was far away that Chen Yingliang breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to curse at himself secretly. Back, it happened that such a bad thing happened. But the matter was not over yet, and a sour voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Congratulations, Lord Chen, you have another chance to gain fame and fortune. If you help me, someone will promise you with your body."
Hearing the voice of his former fiancée, Chen Yingliang immediately became furious, thinking that if you, a bitch like you, hadn't deliberately pestered her endlessly, I would have gotten involved in this shitty matter? Infuriated, Chen Yingliang simply sneered and said, "That's right, the little sister of Guanyin's servant girl is almost ready to marry. If she gets her wish, Miss Chai must come to drink the wedding wine."
Chai Qian stopped talking, and after a while, Chai Qian suddenly said: "Stop the car, I will walk back by myself."
"Stop." Contemporary Chen Shimei and Chen Yingliang immediately agreed, ordering the carriage to stop, but before the carriage was stable, Chai Qian blew over Chen Yingliang's back with a gust of fragrant wind, jumped off the carriage and walked to the side of the road, Chen Yingliang was heartbroken He felt a little regretful, but he didn't want to indulge Chai Qian's problem, so he immediately ordered the carriage to go straight to Yiyangfang, leaving Chai Qian crying silently by the roadside, feeling hesitant.
When leaving Longzheng Square, in front of the gate, Chen Yingliang happened to meet a group of officials who came straight to the square. Chen Yingliang guessed that this team of officials probably went to Gao Shilian's house to search for evidence, but he couldn't stop it. Neng said dejectedly in his heart: "Guanyin servant girl, don't blame me, I really can't do anything about it, this is done by my backstage, if I step forward, it will be my own death, so I can't do anything about this matter anyway. Intervene again."
…
As analyzed by Chen Yingliang, the team of officials was indeed sent by Dali Temple to search Gao Shilian's study. Fortunately, this team of officials only searched all the documents and letters in Gao Shilian's study, and did not search Gao's property, nor The arrest of Gao Shilian's family members was just a matter of registering the Gao family's property and family members. But even so, it still frightened the Gao family to death, and made the female family members of the Gao family cry again. , Hastily went to the Xuanzhengfang next door, and asked Li Shimin, who was a relative of the emperor, for help.
It was also Changsun Wuji's luck. Due to some reasons in the Yang Xuangan case, Li Shimin's father, Li Yuan, had not left Daxing, and he just returned home almost at the same time. The eldest grandson Wuji was overjoyed by Li Yuan, who was able to speak up in the movie, and quickly told the Li family and his sons about his uncle Gao Shilian, and begged the Li family and his sons to rescue his uncle Gao Shilian for him.
"Nephew, how did you know this news?" Li Yuan was a little surprised, and said, "You still know in such detail that you even know that your uncle defected to Goguryeo because of his involvement in the Husi government? The case has not yet been announced. The news, the Dali Temple officials who went to search your study room, it is impossible to know now, right?"
"It was Chen Yingliang and Chen Yousu who helped to inquire about it." Changsun Wuji replied truthfully: "When the news of my uncle's arrest came, Chen Neisui happened to be a guest at my nephew's house. He went to the Ministry of Punishment to help him, and found Wei Liushou to inquire about it. The news."
"Chen Yingliang?" Li Yuan was startled, and hurriedly asked, "He's a guest at your uncle's house? Does he know your uncle?"
"No, he was looking for a jade pendant." Changsun Wuji shook his head, and then roughly told the story of Chen Yingliang's arrival at his home.
"It turns out that Chen Fushao is really a warm-hearted person, and Wei Liushou really loves him." Li Yuan suddenly realized that he laughed, and after a little calculation, he suddenly asked: "Then Chen Yingliang has found out, is it true?" Who spoke in front of the emperor, saying that your uncle and Hu Sizheng are the most friendly, and suggested that the emperor order your uncle to be taken down for interrogation?"
"No." Changsun Wuji shook his head, and then hurriedly asked, "Uncle, who is this person?"
"Censor Pei Yun." Li Yuan said calmly.
"Doctor Pei?" Changsun Wuji's face immediately turned ashen - Changsun Wuji is still young, so he should not know the situation of high officials in the court, but Pei Yun's reputation in this area is really too great, he is famous The cruel and merciless smiling tiger is also recognized as the most cruel official in the dynasty. He is best at convicting crimes with words and creating unjust prisons. Countless court officials have died in his hands over the years. No matter how young the eldest grandson Wuji was, he also got help from many sources. After hearing these rumors, and now hearing that it was Pei Yun who took the initiative to punish Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji really had to be frightened.
In great shock, Changsun Wuji knelt down to Li Yuan with a plop, and begged with tears streaming down his face: "Uncle, please save my uncle, my uncle has a kindness to my nephew, even if my nephew is broken into pieces, it is difficult to repay him." It’s just in case of the great kindness of my father’s upbringing. The matter has come to this point, my nephew can only beg my uncle to save me, in the future my nephew will lead the horse into the stirrup and tie a grass ring, and I will definitely repay my uncle’s great kindness!"
"Erlang, help Wuji get up." Li Yuan waved his hand, first let his son help his eldest grandson Wuji, and then said: "Nephew, don't worry, I am a life-and-death friend with your deceased father, and I will take care of your business." I won’t sit idly by, but this fact is a bit difficult to deal with. Hu Sizheng’s treason colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the crime is unforgivable. Your uncle was involved in his case, and even I can’t intervene at will, and we must act cautiously.”
Changsun Wuji was in a hurry, and begged again: "Uncle, my nephew knows that you are in trouble, but I still ask you to save my uncle..."
"Don't worry, I'm trying to figure out a way." Li Yuan waved his hand to interrupt Changsun Wuji's pleading, and after thinking for a moment, Li Yuan said: "Nephew, you need to tie the bell to untie it. If you want to save your uncle First of all, you have to go through Pei Yun's way. Pei Yun is the person who persuaded the emperor to arrest your uncle, and is also the person who is responsible for investigating your uncle's involvement with Hu Sizheng. If you can go through his way, he said a word It can save your uncle's life, but if he insists on putting your uncle to death, even if I intercede in front of the emperor, I'm afraid I won't be able to save your uncle's life."
"Follow Dr. Pei's connections?" Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded, and wept, "Uncle, how could my nephew follow Dr. Pei's connections? My nephew has no official, no power, and doesn't know anyone in the Pei family, so how could he go?" Got his way?"
"Stupid boy, didn't God give you a good helper?" Li Yuan smiled and said, "Chen Yingliang, deputy leader Chen, who is going to help you inquire about the news today, is a distant relative of Li Guogong Pei Hongce, and he saved Pei Hongce's life twice. Li Guogong regards him as his nephew. Li Guogong and Pei Yun are brothers of the same clan. Logically speaking, Chen Yingliang is also Pei Yun's nephew. If you go to Chen Yingliang for help and ask him to take you to Pei Yun's way, it will be easy. ?”
"Chen Furui still has such a connection?" Changsun Wuji turned his surprise into joy, and quickly thanked Li Yuan, and said: "Thank you uncle for your guidance, my nephew will go to Chen Furui, and ask him to help Dr. Pei circling in front of you."
"That's right." Li Yuan nodded, and said with a smile: "Back then, Duke Chejun framed Chen Yingliang like that, and that kid still repaid his grievances with kindness, and came forward to save Lord Chejun and his son. Since you and Chen Yingliang are like brothers, go ask him for help. Definitely agree, as long as Chen Yingliang persuades Dr. Pei to be merciful, and I come forward to deal with your uncle, I will keep your uncle and save the day and return to his post."
The eldest grandson Wuji was overjoyed, and quickly nodded in agreement. Li Yuan then told Li Shimin next to him, "Erlang, go and get ten pearls and a pair of jade buckets for Wuji. Wuji's family is not very rich, and Chen Yingliang has just entered an official position. It's nothing." Savings, if you want to act in front of Dr. Pei, you can't do it without a gift, so let this gift come from our family."
"Uncle!" Changsun Wuji was so excited that he fell to his knees again, crying loudly, "Uncle is so kind, my nephew is broken into pieces, and it's hard to report what happened." Li Yuan smiled, and helped Changsun Wuji with his own hands to comfort him, He also urged Li Er to quickly fetch gifts and give them to Changsun Wuji, and sent Changsun Wuji away.
As Changsun Wuji's close friend, Li Er of course had to send Changsun Wuji out of the house, and when Li Er returned to Li Yuan, Li Yuan asked if Changsun Wuji had left, and after getting an affirmative answer, Li Yuan immediately said He burst out laughing loudly, and said with a smile: "God help me! God help me! I was worrying that I would not have a chance to separate Chen Yingliang from Wenxi Pei, and this good opportunity came to me. This time, Chen Yingliang just couldn't think of it." It won’t work for the old man.”
"Father, are you planning to use this opportunity to drive a wedge between Chen Yingliang and Wenxi Pei?" Li Er asked in shock.
"Of course, such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?" Li Yuan smiled and said, "I know the reason why Pei Yun punished Gao Shilian. No matter who came forward to act for Gao Shilian, Pei Yun would regard him as an enemy. If Chen Yingliang came forward to beg him, it would be his own death, which would definitely anger Pei Yun. Portal, cut off contact!"
"What is father going to do?" Li Er hurriedly asked again.
"Isn't that simple?" Li Yuan said with a smile, "I'll blow the air in front of Pei Yun tomorrow, and tell him directly that his distant nephew Chen Yingliang has already agreed to excuse Gao Shilian, so let's set him up first. Ji and Chen Yingliang sent gifts to Pei Yun, regardless of whether Pei Yun would accept it or not, the old man would arrange for an official to impeach Chen Yingliang for bribing court officials on Gao Shilian's behalf, and then Wenxi Pei could only expel Chen Yingliang."
"So cruel?!" Li Er gasped, admiring his father's ruthlessness.
"By the way, I will vent my anger on your sister's family." Li Yuan finally showed his ferocious fangs, and said with a sneer, "Your brother-in-law's family was demoted and confiscated. Although the cause is their own fault, that boy Chen Yingliang is not a good person either! Going back to Daxing to stir up troubles, and deliberately concealing his true identity all the time, luring your brother-in-law's family into tricks, dismissing him from office and demolishing his rank, and also causing the old man to lose face, being reprimanded by the emperor in public, not giving this kid a lesson, In the future, wouldn’t it be a young rookie who dares to ride in our Li family to shit and pee?!”
After solemnly agreeing with his father's point of view, Li Er was still a little worried, so he tentatively said, "Father, what about Uncle Gao? He is the uncle of Wuji and Guanyin's maid, so we can't just sit idly by?"
"What's the rush? I didn't say no to help." Li Yuan laughed and said, "First use this matter to drive a wedge between Chen Yingliang and Wenxi Pei, vent your anger on your brother-in-law's family, and then the old man will come forward to save Gao Shilian. "
Speaking of this, Li Yuan smiled again, and said: "Actually, the Gao family is also nervous. Gao Shilian will not die. It is true that Gao Shilian has a deep friendship with Hu Sizheng, but there is no evidence that he actually participated in Yang Xuangan's death. The rebellion and knowing beforehand that Hu Sizheng treasoned the country and turned to the enemy, and now there are so many important officials and dignitaries involved in Yang Xuangan's rebellion in the court, no matter how cruel Pei Yun is, he would not dare to punish Gao Shilian for this, and stimulate important court officials like Lai Hu'er and Zheng Shanguo , the old man probably exiled Gao Shilian at most, and it would be easy to save him."
"I see." Li Er heaved a sigh of relief, then hesitated for a while, then Li Er cupped his hands to Li Yuan and said, "Father, my son has a small request, please agree to it."
"Tell me, what's the matter." Li Yuan replied.
"After rescuing Gao Shilian, please ask my father to propose marriage to him by the way, and ask him to marry his niece, Guanyin, and maidservant to the boy." Li Er blushed and said, "Actually, Uncle Gao already had this idea not long ago, but the boy didn't ask for it." The father agreed, and did not make the decision without authorization. Taking this opportunity, the child wants to facilitate this matter."
"No wonder my son is like this, so there is another reason." Li Yuan laughed loudly, and said: "No problem, the Guanyin maidservant has seen it for my father, she is dignified and beautiful, and has a good background, and you are indeed a natural pair, and my father agrees to this. After this matter is over, my father will personally ask Gao Shilian for you."
"My son thanked father." Li Er was overjoyed, and quickly saluted Li Yuan, and the delicate face of the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli appeared in his heart, and he thought to himself: "Guanyin maidservant, we will be together soon."
