Wei Jie was drinking outside.
He has always been a man of few words and is the kindest one among all the young masters.
Others rode their horses on the streets, and some of the most powerful playboys didn't care whether there were people around or not, and just rode their horses on the streets. Although the imperial court had issued an order prohibiting horse racing on the streets, the rule was that as long as no one was killed, no one would intervene.
Some people played it even more seriously, and even rode their horses through Chang'an Avenue, and the winner would be determined by whoever hits the fewest people. This group of playboys, even the most kind-hearted ones, have played this game before, relying on their good riding skills and always thinking that nothing would go wrong.
I would laugh for a while when I saw people who were in such panic that even the vegetable stalls and shelves were overturned.
Here, there are only two people who have never played like this before.
One is Shen Chen and the other is Wei Jie.
He was not close to anyone, and he was dragged here this time by Yuan Hongwen. Yuan Hongwen liked to go out, and was very familiar with Peng Caiying and Peng Caichen from the Peng family. Recently, Peng Caiying became close to Wei Jie, so as a result, he also became close to Wei Jie in a daze.
Originally, I hadn't thought of inviting Wei Jie to join us in the fun, but I just happened to meet him on the way out. Since we had met, it would naturally be better for us to have fun together, so I simply recruited Wei Jie to come along as well.
He came over, but he still didn't drink any wine. He said that he had something to do at home and would leave after sitting for a while.
After a while, he really came over and told Yuan Hongwen that he was leaving.
Yuan Hongwen was playing rock-paper-scissors with someone in front of the campfire. His face turned red from yelling. He felt dizzy and didn't care much and just nodded randomly.
Li Shao, on the other hand, accompanied Wei Jie all the way out, smiling gently, "Hong Wen is just like that, don't blame him for being inconsiderate."
Although Wei Jie didn't like playing with them, he still said something to save face: "It's me who disturbed everyone's fun."
Li Shao nodded: "That's right, I still have to pay compensation, you should leave, otherwise, I should drink a few more glasses with you."
After seeing Wei Jie off, he saw him off and told the servant to follow him and report back when he found out.
The servant bowed and responded, then turned around and disappeared.
Li Shao waited in the room for a while.
It was late at night when the servant came back. He had already washed and dressed, but he did not sleep. He let the little girl wipe his freshly washed hair. When he saw someone coming back, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
The servant hung his hands, lowered his head and told everything he could get out of the man.
When he passed by, the farm of Marquis Dingbei was still in turmoil, so Wei Jie immediately dismounted and rushed in, fearing that the farmers would bump into Wei An in the back yard.
All these tenants were forced into a state of not being able to survive. The village head was a vampire who just tried to squeeze their money out of them every year. The rent kept rising year after year, and this year he finally forced people to death. The tenants started to make trouble when they heard that a boss had come from above.
As soon as the commotion broke out, the village head took the money and ran away with his family.
The accounts are correct - the village head reports to his superiors, but they are exploited at every level. Every year they say it is a difficult time, and the income has not increased much over the years. What is handed over is what is in the account.
The rent for this year has not been recorded in the account yet, but they have indeed been forced to pay it this year. Because the account did not match, the tenants became panicked, fearing that they would have to pay it again. Finally, they could not bear it any longer and started to make trouble.
Li Shao frowned, remained silent for a moment, and solemnly instructed the servant: "Don't go in person, find a reliable person and let him go.
He gave a detailed instruction and leaned back on the pillow.
The servant listened very carefully, not daring to miss a single word. When he finished giving the instructions, he retreated respectfully again.
Li Shao leaned against the pillow and closed his eyes. He had been playing all day, drinking some wine and being blown by a cold wind at night. His head was aching uncontrollably and he could not bear it any longer.
The moonlight outside was bright, and a breeze came in through the window, making the pages of the book on the table rustle. He moved his eyelids, but finally fell asleep.
When I woke up early the next morning, I saw it was raining outside.
Yuan Hongwen rushed into his room and frowned, "It's so boring. I was thinking of going further today and taking a boat to Baihezhuang, but it rained so hard that I can't do anything."
It's raining.
Li Shao's brows relaxed, and he smiled and offered a good-natured suggestion: "Why can't we have fun? You can find a few people to play and sing, and we can all play finger-guessing games and drink in the hall, isn't that the same? At worst, we can play something new and have some bets."
Yuan Hongwen thought about it and felt that it was a good idea. He smiled, clapped his hands and went out.
When he came back in, he was in a hurry: "I'm afraid we can't play anymore. Something happened in the village next door."
Li Shao was a little confused: "The village next door? Which one?"
Yuan Hongwen propped up his head and felt a headache. "Someone has died in Wei Jie's family. I heard that a woman crashed into the stone lion outside their villa and died that night. They found her dead in the morning. Now there is a big commotion there. There is a long line of people kneeling. I don't know what happened. Even people from the government office have gone there."
Li Shao was shocked: "How could such a thing happen in the villa of Dingbei Marquis's mansion?"
Yuan Hongwen stroked his chin and thought for a while before shaking his head: "How should I know? It's a mess over there, it's a mess, and they just keep saying that Wei Qi forced someone to death."
He thought about it for a while and was a little shocked: "But... .... considering Wei Qi's powerful appearance, if she really said that she forced someone to death, I believe it."
He watched plays outside all day long, and the more he watched, the more he began to think too much.
Maybe someone from the Wei family got into trouble outside, and Wei Anjing quietly captured that person, and then this incident happened
Otherwise, how could a woman die
Li Shao knew at a glance that this man was thinking about something he didn't want to do. He frowned and urged him twice: "Since it's Wei Jie's family that's in trouble, no matter what, we should go over and take a look. If there's really something wrong, we can also think of a way to see if we can help."
The more people who come to see it, the more excitement it will have, and the more people who come to see it, the more people will know about it.
Three people make a tiger. By then, even if Wei An had a hundred mouths, he would not be able to explain himself.
The person is already dead, there is no evidence, so even if Wei An didn't force him to death, then she really did, and there is nothing else to say. Besides, there are so many farmers making trouble now, which one should she take care of first
This is not something that girls in the boudoir would play with.
