524 Hidden in the Depths, Sword Unsheathed (2)
524 Hidden in the Depths, Sword Out of Sheath (2)
At present, the situation is urgent, and Liu Shenjiang deeply feels that the situation is serious.
He is not just a simple little old man, he knows that people's hearts are sinister, and he also knows that no matter what involves the royal family, it means endless turmoil.
Zhang Fengwu is an official in the court, and the second prince is now in power in the court, and he is the best candidate for the prince of Bian Guo, so he can't let them and his wife wade into this muddy water.
Moreover, Shangguan Wurong's identity is really sensitive, he is the daughter of General Shangguan, General Shangguan has worked hard and made great contributions, and has made countless contributions to Bian Guoguo, and has a high prestige in the eyes of the people. But since ancient times, military generals are the most susceptible to suspicion from those in higher positions.
If Mrs. Shangguan uses the power of her mother's family to help them at this time, if she angers the second prince at that time, it may not only be the couple who will be affected, but even General Shangguan will not be spared.
So according to Liu Shenjiang's meaning, the couple should not come forward for the time being in this matter, if they can, they will provide them with some information support behind their backs, and they can help them inquire about the current situation of Dongshan and Banxia, which is already the greatest help to them.
Zhang Fengwu and his wife understand the old man's kindness, but aren't they afraid of things, for the sake of friends, even if they don't want this black veil on their heads? But when it comes to the general, the couple has to be cautious.
It's okay not to come forward for the time being, but they will definitely protect their safety in secret, and come forward to help them when the couple is in trouble, and please don't refuse and oppose this point.
Shangguan Wurong had already passed on the news to his father in Kyoto to keep an eye on it for her. Li Banxia was far away in the capital, and he was unfamiliar with life there. Not even a friend. And they are far away in Jiangzhou. Even if you have a heart, I'm afraid that it will be beyond the reach of the whip. At that time, Li Banxia will really have something to do, but I'm afraid that it will not be able to solve the near fire.
It couldn't be better, Liu Shenjiang thanked the two again.
At this point, there was a brief silence. Liu Shenjiang lit the cigarette pouch and smoked slowly, gently exhaling the smoke from time to time, and the contemplative color in his eyes became more and more obvious.
Wu Rong and Zhang Fengwu also have angelica. They all stopped talking and looked at the old man.
Liu Shenjiang seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were extremely deep, and occasionally a touch of essence bloomed. Suddenly, he stopped smoking and slammed the pot on the table next to him, and his eyes became bright, and there was the light of wisdom that carried and shone in them.
"Grandpa-" Liu Angelica touched him, the grandfather he saw today was so unreal, until now he was not used to such a grandfather.
But such a grandfather. made him feel very relieved, and it also made the early fear in his heart disappear a lot. It's as if there's a grandfather there. They don't have to fear anything.
"Uncle-" Wu Rong and Zhang Fengwu couldn't help but ask what he meant.
The old man smiled at them, that smile had an indescribable kindness, this kind old man, even if the sky fell, could not change his peaceful appearance of being safe and uncontested with the world.
"Maybe we can go find someone-" That's right, just when Zhang Fengwu and Shangguan Wurong mentioned Kyoto, a person immediately popped out of Liu Shenjiang's mind, and after thinking about it again, he felt more and more that there was a way for this matter.
"Who?" Several people immediately asked.
"It's Lord Bao!" Liu Shenjiang slowly spit out these three words, accompanied by a deep breath, as if he had made some major decision. "Lord Bao is iron-faced and selfless, not afraid of the powerful, and is Bao Qingtian in the minds of the people. He has always been willing to stand up for the people, even if he offended the emperor and the queen mother in the past, he did not hesitate to give the people justice. If you can let Master Bao know about this Banxia incident, it will definitely usher in a new turn for the better. ”
Shangguan Wurong smiled, and then the old man's words said: "And this Lord Bao's status in the court is not as sensitive as my father's, everyone knows that Lord Bao is selfless, honest and honest, and everyone knows that he doesn't buy anyone's face in front of justice and justice, so there is no problem for targeting." What's more, Lord Bao is known for his integrity, and the emperor has to think carefully about it if he wants to condemn him, and he is unwilling to do anything that damages the people's hearts. Banxia encountered this incident this time, it was not the second prince, if Lord Bao knew, he would definitely be willing to stand up for Banxia and Brother Dongshan. ”
Zhang Fengwu also nodded, and said: "Master Bao is a fair and rigorous good official, if he wants to take over a case, he will definitely investigate thoroughly and clearly, and make sure that the truth of the matter is revealed and revealed." At that time, the cause and effect of Miss Li and Brother Dongshan's incident will be clear to him. With Lord Bao out of the horse, it is difficult for the second prince to not compromise. ”
When a few people said this, they all seemed to see hope again.
"Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy, the old man is really good, why didn't we think of this."
"It's not that you can't think of it, it's just a bystander." Shangguan Wurong and Zhang Feng were involved in this matter early in the morning, thinking about solving everything by themselves, and they didn't believe that others would dare to offend the second prince, so they didn't expect this to happen.
And Liu Shenjiang only came here today, and he only learned about it. Even though he was very worried about the situation of his two children, he thought about the problem from a completely different perspective than the two, and the results obtained were also different.
On the other hand, Zhang Fengwu and Shangguan Wurong were far away in Jiangzhou, and they did not have much contact with Lord Bao in Kyoto. Although the two have long heard of Lord Bao's honesty and integrity, it is still difficult to entrust this kind of important matter to others.
Liu Shenjiang is different, Lord Bao went to Mahui Village last time because of General Feng Yan's affairs, and stayed there for a few days. In addition, Banxia has a little friendship with this Lord Bao, as well as Mr. Gongsun, who is a wise and wise man beside him, and Zhan Yang, the imperial guard, and knows that they take care of Banxia a lot, if they ask for help in this matter, they will definitely help Banxia pay attention to it and think of a way for her.
And so, this is how things are gradually taking shape.
However, there is one more problem. "If the second prince doesn't buy Lord Bao's account at that time, and insists on being unfavorable to them and his wife, what should he do?"
No matter how clear and selfless Lord Bao is, no matter how clear he is in the hearts of the people, in the face of the royal people, it doesn't matter if the other party is a wise man, if he is protective. Or when the time comes, the decision made by the second prince, even the emperor is unwilling to interfere, not only Li Banxia and Liu Dongshan will not be able to save it, but it may also affect Lord Bao.
And that's what they don't want to see.
Liu Shenjiang thought about it and finally sighed.
Now, I can only beg him, and I don't know if he is willing to help. He finally cut off contact with that terrible place and lived his quiet life, and at this time, for the sake of the two children, he had to let him go out again, I am afraid that he would not want to.
Although that person has an unusual relationship with Dongshan, he treats Dongshan as a child. For the sake of Dongshan's child, he has done a lot of things, and there is no guarantee that he is willing to have any entanglements with the royal people for the sake of the two of them. It is precisely because he takes good care of Dongshan that he treats him as his own son, and it is even more difficult for Liu Shenjiang to invite him out for his son.
But the heart of a father is always so deep, even if there are many difficulties, even if you don't want to fight this old face, even if you feel guilty about bothering others, you still have to do it. He is willing to spend the rest of his life to repay the kindness of these people.
Liu Shenjiang made up his mind, it was getting late today, so he would stay in Jiangzhou for a day, and he would go back to the village early tomorrow morning. On this side, Lao Wurong and Zhang Fengwu have to worry about it.
In the evening, the two accompanied Liu Shenjiang to have a meal, the old man was old, and he had been on the road for another day, although his spirit was not bad, but it was difficult to hide the tiredness on his face. In addition, when people reach a certain age, the amount of food is not as good as that of young people. Wu Rong and Zhang Feng both picked up vegetables for the old man from time to time, and Liu Shenjiang ate as much as he could, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Before and after, the old man also ate a small bowl of rice, and the old man had tried his best.
The two also know that the elderly can't eat too much at night, and it is not a good thing to persuade others to eat too much, and they won't be able to sleep when the time comes.
After dinner, the couple sat down with Liu Shenjiang and returned to Zhizhou Mansion.
Leaving Liu Shenjiang and Liu Angelica's grandchildren behind, Liu Angelica is so old that he has long stopped sleeping with his grandparents, but tonight he uncharacteristically wants to sleep with his grandfather.
Liu Shen Jiang happily let his little grandson "serve" and wash his feet, praising him for being so well-behaved. After arriving in Jiangzhou today, I only cared about my son and daughter-in-law, and I didn't have time to care about my little grandson's study in Jiangzhou.
Liu Angelica listened to his grandfather's question, and his face was extremely ashamed. Looking at his appearance, Liu Shenjiang also guessed something. This child must be worried about his father's affairs, and his heart is full of worries about them, such a young child, alone in Jiangzhou, and his father and mother are not around, it is no wonder that there is such a thing, hey!
However, Liu Shenjiang can't let this kid go on like this.
Although he is worried about his father's affairs, he is still a child and can't help. It's enough for them to worry about these things, and they, the children, still have to do their part. The most important thing for him now is to study hard.
You must know that at that time, it was not easy for his mother and his father to send him to Jiangzhou to go to school. Just his grandmother's level, I don't know how much effort they put into it. Now that his father and mother have had an accident and are facing an unspeakable predicament alone, how can he not be obedient and let them worry about him again?
He's still young, and he doesn't know so much about it. It's just that a child will grow up one day, and as a good child, you must not only listen to your parents, but also be responsible for yourself and work hard to become a useful person in the future. Only in this way will he not worry his parents and make them proud of him.
Liu Shenjiang said these truths to Angelica, Liu Angelica had heard many people say these great truths before, but he didn't listen to every sentence in his heart like this time-
