After reading the letter, Li Yuanxiao immediately asked the steward to bring this Zhao Baoshan over.

Moments later, a young man entered the study.

"Junior Zhao Baoshan meets General Li! My three grandfathers asked me to say hello to you. The young man worshipped.

Li Yuanxiao stretched out his hand and gestured, "No need to be polite." Seeing your letter, I knew that you had come to Pengcheng, looking at your dress, this trip was not smooth, how is the situation of the Zhao family now? ”

Zhao Baoshan's eyes were slightly red, and he said: "Now the Zhao family is in a critical situation, and Sima Jian, the king of Qi, forged the evidence of my Zhao family's caravan and Xianbei trade, and then insisted that we colluded with foreign enemies, so he sent people to surround the Zhao family, and did not let us enter or leave, let alone leave the city." Although the grandfather and the others are working around to wash up the evidence of the crime, because of the matter of the uncle and Sima Yin's concubine, Sima Jian has a grudge against the Zhao family and will not let go of the Zhao family. I was able to leave Qingzhou because my Zhao family was kind to Yao Ziduan back then, he took the risk to take me out of the city, and I was able to come to Pengcheng by pretending to be an entourage..."

With Zhao Baoshan's eloquent story, Li Yuanxiao knew the details.

It turned out that this Zhao Baoshan was Zhao Baoyu's cousin.

Zhao Baoyu's grandfather is the head of the Zhao family and has only one son, that is, Zhao Baoshan's father, Zhao Xuefeng. Under Meng Xingchen's calculations, Zhao Xuefeng was confused, and rolled together with Sima Yin's concubine, and was caught red-handed by Sima Yin.

This started the process of Sima Jian's revenge on the Zhao family.

As for the collusion between the Zhao family caravan and Xianbei, in the troubled times, these business activities are too normal, foreigners have horses, and they sell them grain and iron ore in exchange for horses, in front of interests, no bullshit morality is important to money.

"This time I risked my life to come here to ask Uncle Li for help and save my Zhao family!" Zhao Baoshan looked sad, and then knelt on the ground.

Li Yuanxiao helped him up and said: "The Li and Zhao families are world friends, Zhao Baoyu and Qingkong have a marriage contract, if I can save it, I will do my best, you get up and speak." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lee. By the way, where is Baoyu? Zhao Baoshan asked.

Li Yuanxiao said: "In order to save the prince of the southeast, he was injured while fighting with the assassins, and he is recuperating in the mansion, so I will order someone to call him now." ”

"Saved the prince of the southeast? Still fighting assassins? Uncle Lee, is there something wrong with my ears? How is this possible! Zhao Baoshan looked surprised.

Li Yuanxiao was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Zhao Baoshan said: "Baoyu has been spoiled since he was a child, and he doesn't even bother to lift heavy objects, how can he fight with assassination." ”

Li Yuanxiao was stunned, and finally caught the clue where he had been puzzled, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you absolutely sure?" Could it be that he kept his head in obscurity and concealed his martial arts? ”

Zhao Baoyu said that his master was Xu Qisheng, and Xu Qisheng was a prisoner of the imperial court, so it was normal for Zhao Baoyu to conceal his martial arts.

"I have a close relationship with Baoyu, and I can't say anything wrong, and Baoyu is not a hard-working person." Zhao Baoyu replied, and asked curiously, "Uncle Li, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, call him and you'll know when you see him." Li Yuanxiao smiled and spoke, regaining his composure.

He called the steward and asked him to invite him personally, and instructed him not to mention the guest in the house.

The king's steward was immediately commanded to do it.

......

"General Li called me to come over? Did he say it was because of something? "When Shen Ning was drinking tea with Li Ru, he met with Steward Wang.

Steward Wang shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know, I should have heard that Gongzi was injured, so I wanted to see Gongzi." ”

Shen Ning had no doubt that he had been to the Li Mansion many times. was about to set off, but Li Ru gave Shen Ning a look.

Then Li Ru asked: "Knowing that Liu Shu is injured, he should be allowed to recuperate with peace of mind, with the character of your master, he will not see him now." Isn't there something big about it? ”

"The third master said with a smile, what big deal can be, the villain just acts according to orders." Steward Wang sneered.

Li Ru said again: "Since it's not a big deal, could it be that someone came?" ”

"The villain doesn't know, the master just asked me to invite Zhao Gongzi." Steward Wang hurriedly replied.

can be the steward of a big family, and he has long been trained to be pampered and not surprised, but although the kung fu of the king steward is good, he is not Li Ru's opponent.

Li Ru is such a character, extremely smart, and his eyes are like torches, and he immediately saw the weakness of the king's stewardship.

"You go out first." Li Ru said with a smile.

The king's steward respectfully withdrew.

Only Shen Ning and Li Ru were left in the house.

Shen Ning asked, "Sir, what do you see?" ”

Li Ru stroked his beard and said: "Father Qingtian must have a big deal looking for you, as I just said, it's not a big matter, he won't let you go to the Li Mansion if you are injured." You have no relatives and no reason in Pengcheng, what big things can find you? It can't be your marriage to Clear Sky, so what do you think? ”

"Could it be from Qingzhou, and it has something to do with the Zhao family?" Shen Ning immediately understood what Li Ru meant.

Li Ru nodded.

Shen Ning suddenly felt a little weak.

"If that's the case, then it's exposed. I should have listened to my husband and confessed my identity first, but now I have fallen into passivity. Shen Ning frowned.

Li Ru smiled: "It doesn't matter if you confess early or late, if you are cautious, Li Yuanxiao will not care about this matter." The question now is that Zhao Baoyu died at your hands, if it is really from the Zhao family, how should you deal with it, this is the main thing. The Zhao family and the Li family are also world friends, although they have no blood relatives, but their ancestors are connected. Unless..."

"Unless you can directly break off the relationship between the Zhao family and the Li family!" Shen Ning immediately understood what Li Ru meant, he showed surprise on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, did you already have a way?" ”

"Come here with your ears." Li Ru said softly.

......

Shen Ning was injured, so he came to the Li Mansion by car.

Under the leadership of Steward Wang, Shen Ning entered the study, and sure enough, he saw two people in the study, one was Li Yuanxiao, and the second person didn't know him.

Shen Ning secretly rejoiced, fortunately Li Ru was here, otherwise he would be in trouble today.

"Liushu is here, you are injured, sit down." Li Yuanxiao smiled.

Shen Ning bowed his hand and bowed, and then sat down.

Then, I saw Li Yuanxiao pointing at Zhao Baoshan and asked, "Liushu, do you recognize this person?" ”

Shen Ning shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Li Yuanxiao suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhao Baoshan again, and asked, "What about you?" Have you ever seen him? ”

Zhao Baoshan shook his head and wondered, "I've never seen it." ”

Li Yuanxiao laughed, spread his hands, and asked: "One of you is Zhao Baoyu and the other is Zhao Baoshan, but they are cousins, and they don't know each other, let's talk about it!" Who of you are lying! ”

Shen Ning already had leftovers, so he wasn't surprised, but Zhao Baoshan was surprised, hurriedly got up, and then pointed at Shen Ning and shouted: "You are definitely not Zhao Baoyu, who are you?" ”

Li Yuanxiao also looked at Shen Ning, but he didn't expect him to be so calm and relaxed.

Shen Ning had just sat down and had to get up, simply bullying the patient.

I saw that after he got up, he suddenly ran towards Zhao Baoshan with an arrow step, and under his shock, he slashed him unconscious with a knife.

Li Yuanxiao was furious and slapped the table.

He thought that Shen Ning was preparing to kill because the matter was revealed.

Behold...

Shen Ning's words made his movements freeze instantly.

"Uncle Li, I am Shen Ning, the son of Shen Lie, and I have officially visited you, please forgive me for any offense."
