Chapter 109: Under the Fierce Medicine
This meal was extremely silent, Su Ci missed his son very much, and wanted Li Xie to find out the news of his son as soon as possible. But Lu Xiaomei's current situation is really not suitable for such a thing, Su Ci has no face to mention it.
Li Xie was thinking about Lu Xiaomei, thinking about such a little girl who had suffered great changes one after another in the best days of her childhood, and even her mental state had changed pathologically, how could she save her.
Linghua's own daughter has become like this, she really wants to cry without tears, and she has watched her originally lively and lovely daughter become like this several times: she looks dull at night, and she can't help but want to cry.
Several people at the table had different thoughts, but they all had heavy hearts. After eating, Li Xie took the book he brought back, and I lit an oil lamp in the small pavilion and read it quietly.
Seeing that Su Ci also did it, Li Xie put down the book in his hand and felt that it was necessary to mention to Su Ci about his future plans.
"Brother Su, the two of us have experienced life and death, you are yourself, I am not afraid to tell you bluntly, I want to be an official, I want the right to live, I want him Li Baichuan to die."
Li Xie had mentioned the name Li Baichuan several times, and Su Ci knew that he was the Eternal Prince, so he was not surprised that Li Xie had such a decision.
It can even be said that it is expected, it can be seen from the fact that Li Xie will specially choose gifts for Lu Xiaomei in Dragon Canyon, it is not too troublesome or too hard to bring them back, and now he will keep vigil for Lu Xiaomei every day. Li Xie loves this goddaughter very much, and now that his goddaughter has become like this, to be honest, even he Su Ci is a little distressed, let alone him Li Xie.
So Li Xie had such a decision, and he was really not surprised at all. What made Su Ci feel incomprehensible was why Li Xie would say such a thing to himself.
As if seeing Su Ci's puzzlement, Li Xie continued to speak.
"The business matters are almost ready now, as long as Brother Wei agrees, things can start. I can probably guess who Brother Wei's boss is, he knows me, and he has an old age, so I think he will agree.
Once the other side agrees, things will begin, but our dynasty has a clear rule that officials cannot do business. So I've got someone to take care of it for me. Brother Su, I don't have many people to trust, and I don't even have many friends here, so ......"
Li Xie didn't seem to finish speaking, but he actually said everything. said earlier that he wanted to seek revenge on Li Baichuan, but he said that it would definitely be dangerous to follow him.
Later, he said that he wanted to do business but couldn't come forward, because he wanted Su Ci to help him manage the dock business. As for not finishing the words, it was to make Su Ci refuse, if he made it clear, with the friendship between the two of them, refusing would make Su Ci embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll help you." Su Ci was much simpler, and he didn't even think much about it, so he agreed. I'm afraid Su Ci didn't even understand the reason why Li Xie said so much, so he agreed regardless of the consequences.
But some things are like this, thinking may not be so moving, and only without thinking can you see the truth. For Su Ci, Li Xie's affairs are not brainless at all, it was like this when he was by the stream, when he went to Yongwang's Mansion together, and it is still like this.
is different from before, the previous two times just had the mentality that even if he helped Li Xie block the knife, he would also help. And now I know that I can really help.
Nothing was said all night.
When Li Xie went to Xicheng to check the next day, he announced that more than a dozen craftsmen had been sent to start the design and construction of the wharf. With more than 1,000 people assisting from the side, it is believed that the construction of this pier can be completed in a maximum of ten days.
It was still very early, and Li Xie took a detour to Wei Yi's house. Regardless of whether he can cooperate with Weiyi's organization or not, Li Xie hopes to get the news as soon as possible, because only when he gets the news as soon as possible can he make future arrangements.
After coming to his house and knocking on the door, it didn't take long for Weiyi's daughter-in-law to open the door. Look at the dress on her body: she is wearing a headscarf, the sleeves are folded high, and it is clear that she is also a diligent person, and she has already gotten up early to work.
"Brother Wei, do you have any news?" After Li Xie was invited into the room, he went straight to the point and asked.
Wei Yi is not a person who talks a lot, and at the same time he is not a procrastinator, and he likes Li Xie's straightforwardness very much. If Li Xie had to talk about family affairs first after he came in, he would have been even more impatient.
It's good in this way, as soon as you come in, you go straight to the point, you have something to say, you can't come and go if you have nothing to do, and the friendship is here, no more and no less.
"I've already asked, we can work with you, but it's not up to me. Someone will come to you at noon today, and he will talk to you about everything. ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for him, what about you, Brother Wei? Do you have any ideas for getting involved? Hearing that Wei Yi's organization had excluded him, Li Xie was not surprised at all.
After all, Wei Yi is a waste man without a hand or a foot, and it will be very inconvenient to act or do things. And the matter of cooperating with Li Xie does not say that he has to run outside all the year round, at least he has to check the supply of goods from time to time and travel around.
From this aspect alone, Weiyi is very unsuitable as a liaison between the two sides. And the reason why Li Xie thought of Wei Yi for the first time was that he didn't want to help Wei Yi.
For Li Xie, no matter what, Wei Yi's injury was also suffered for himself. And with Wei Yi's character, he will definitely not ask for direct compensation. But no matter how wealthy a family is, it will definitely not work.
And Wei Yi lost a hand and a foot, which cannot be said to completely cut off his possibility of making money, but at least it will make it very hard for him to make money.
Therefore, Li Xie also hopes to give him a relatively idle position, so that he can have a stable source of income.
"What else can I do to help an adult like this?" Although Wei Yi never regretted being injured like this, it is impossible to say that he did not have the slightest inferiority complex after suffering this injury.
A big man who was originally able-bodied and healthy suddenly lost a hand or a foot. The most basic self-care is very difficult to do, and the psychological blow to people who have not experienced such a thing is not something that people who have not experienced such things can imagine.
"Brother Wei, you know my character, I don't like to socialize with people on weekdays, although I have been here in Luotianfu for a long time, but I really haven't made a friend here who can help.
Some things that are not related to the core of the messy physical strength, of course, can be handed over to outsiders to do. But when it comes to the core aspects, I really can't trust others. Although Brother Su promised someone to help me, you also know that Brother Su came from a small place after all, and he is inferior in terms of consciousness and vision.
After all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is easy to make money and make a fortune, but it is very difficult to keep money. Brother Su may have enough ability to contact merchants and buy and sell goods, but it is definitely not possible to meet the big people on the official face who really need to be interacted with.
Brother Wei, you have also been an official, and in this regard, you must be much better at it than the two of us, so you have to help me with this favor. "It's not that Li Xie has no way to solve this matter, but this errand is definitely a fat gap, as the so-called fertilizer water does not flow into outsiders' fields.
If there is a friend of life and death who can do this, why should you give the money to someone else to earn? Besides, leaving this matter to someone else, Li Xie is indeed not at ease.
"Your Excellency...... Let me think about it. Li Xie said so much, and it does make sense. But Wei Yi also has his own considerations, he may be able to do these things because he is already incapacitated, but he has a better way:
Those who retired because of other things, there are still a lot of brothers in the organization they trust. These people are also absolutely reliable, and if you can, it's always better to recommend them than to go on your own. There are more people who can help Li Xie.
However, this consideration is not suitable, just say it now, Wei Yi feels that he might as well find those people he thinks are suitable, and then let Li Xie choose.
