Chapter 535: Something Must Be Done
Fang Lao Wu's words were muttered very lightly, as light as a dream, Li Su's ear strength has always been good, and he only heard a few words.
"My dad doesn't need you to protect him?" Li Suchai asked, "Uncle Fang, did you just say that?" ”
A trace of weakness and panic flashed on Fang Lao Wu's face, his eyes immediately looked away, pretending to look at the scenery, his acting skills were exaggerated, and he was not distracted.
There was silence in the room, and for a long time, Fang Lao Wu felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and when he turned around and found that Li Su was still staring at him, Fang Lao Wu couldn't help but look bitter.
"Uncle Fang, it's been a few days, you've been recuperating from your injuries these days, and I haven't ......asked about the situation that day," Li Su recalled, and muttered: "It's a little strange to say, the assassins assassinated my father that day, only Uncle Fang was with my father at that time, most of the assassins were killed by my order, and the rest were all killed by themselves, and then they cleaned the scene and found that many assassins were seriously injured, not only that, but more than a dozen horses' front legs were swept off by iron boring, and they were paralyzed on the ground and couldn't move, Uncle Fang's brothers said, this is an expert method, I asked my father, and my father said that it was all done by Uncle Fang alone......"
Saying that, Li Su looked at Fang Lao Wu and said with a respectful smile: "Uncle Fang is worthy of being in the army for many years, his shot is really extraordinary, and he is very tight, fortunately I have you by my father's side that day, otherwise my father will be in danger." ”
Fang Lao Wu's expression became more and more embarrassed, and he blushed and said a few times.
Praised and admired by the head of the family, Fang Lao Wu has a hard time, Li Daozheng has a word with him first, some secrets must be kept for him, Fang Lao Wu is a rough person, but it can also be seen that Li Dao is a person with secrets and stories, and obviously he does not intend to expose his secrets, and he doesn't even want to tell his own son.
Therefore, Fang Lao Wu had to keep his mouth shut. Even though the bottle is a bit leaky......
Looking at Fang Lao Wu's slightly nervous expression, Li Su blinked, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart.
The loyal servant will sweep away thousands of troops with one move and rescue the master of the family, although there is no need to make a big publicity, but ...... You can't be so nervous, can you? What is he doing in his heart?
…………
Full of questions. Li Su told Fang Lao Wu to recuperate from his injuries, and then walked out of his house.
There are a total of four large wings in the front yard of the Li family, usually the subordinates live in the front yard, Li Daozheng lives in the middle courtyard, and the backyard is lived by the head of the family, Li Su and his wife.
Passing through the front hall from the courtyard, Li Daozheng was sitting on the stone steps of the arch of the middle courtyard, squinting in the sun, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if enjoying the beautiful sunshine. It seems to be immersed in the memories of previous years.
Li Su looked at him quietly from afar.
Seem...... It's been a long time since I've seen Li Daozheng so carefully and seriously.
When the Li family was in dire straits, father and son were running for a living, busy earning food and money, and they were all trying to make this thin family continue.
I still remember that cold winter, when my father came back from outside in a wet and cold body, carrying a bag of millet in his hand. Laughing heartily at him while shivering, that image is recalled. It still stings Li Su's heart.
I still remember that the father and son sat on the threshold and sucked noodles, and the father sandwiched the only small piece of meat in his bowl into his bowl, staring at each other, and used the majesty of the father to stop the son's push.
The son was angry, and the situation of the Li family gradually improved, and the family had more and more fields. There are more and more farmers who farm for their own families, and before they know it, the Li family has changed from an ordinary farmer to the largest landlord in the village, not only rebuilding a large mansion, but also hiring housekeepers and maids. A workshop was built in the village, there was a trade in Chang'an City, and the travelers were all good ministers and famous generals of the dynasty, and even the trouble was an earth-shattering high-level disaster that shook the city, and the Li family suddenly became a powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, and the saints were prosperous, like the sky.
Rich, powerful, and powerful, the Li family has unstoppably become a new aristocrat of the Tang Dynasty, with a big family and a big business, and the officials are high, and the villagers are envious, and they always talk quietly behind their backs, saying that the Li family's baby must be the star of the world, and this life is extremely rich, and artificially created all kinds of visions when Li Su was born to prove the authenticity of the star statement.
The Li family is changing dramatically, but Li Daozheng is still Li Daozheng.
No matter how luxurious his house was, he still habitually sat on the threshold every day, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun.
seemed to feel Li Su's gaze, Li Daozheng opened his eyes and looked at Li Su, and then Li Daozheng grinned, as always, honest and simple, ordinary and peaceful.
Li Su also smiled, stepped forward and sat on the threshold like his father.
"Coward, what's going on today? I used to love cleanliness the most, but today I don't pay attention to it. Seeing his son sitting on the dirty threshold, Li Daozheng glanced at him obliquely, and there was a trace of imperceptible pampering hidden in his majestic gaze.
"It's okay, just go back and change your clothes." Li Su said with a smile.
Next, the father and son were silent, squinting their eyes together to bask in the sun, enjoying the same expression.
After a long time, Li Daozheng suddenly said: "I heard your mother-in-law say that the person behind the assassination of me the day before yesterday has been found?" ”
Li Su hesitated, nodded, and shook his head again: "I said I found it, but the child is not sure." ”
Li Daozheng said: "Isn't it the King of Qi?" ”
Li Su thought for a while and said, "At present, all kinds of evidence point to King Qi, it is said that it should be him, but it is just ...... The child still had doubts in his heart, and he was not sure that it was him. ”
"What do you mean?"
Li Su sighed and said: "It took a lot of effort to find out this person behind the scenes, not only did he use all his connections, but even the Changsun family and the Cheng family helped out, and then I found out that this matter was related to the King of Qi, and I also heard from the palace that the King of Qi was reprimanded and beaten by His Majesty because of me, the motive is there, the evidence is there, and everything seems to be clearly in front of me...... However, the child always felt that everything came too naturally, as if someone had hidden the evidence in a very conspicuous place and guided me to discover it step by step......"
Li Daozheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you have any signs of this idea?" ”
Li Su smiled bitterly: "No, it's all the child's own feelings, I feel that this kind of thing is too empty after all, and there is no factual support." Even the people of the Changsun family and the Cheng family thought that the matter had been investigated, but the child was still suspicious. ”
After a pause, Li Su sighed: "The assassination of my father is an enemy of the heavens, if the child does not have this doubt, it will be found out that it is Queen Qi who should have done it to him that day." But because there are still doubts about this matter, the child still delays the ......"
Li Daozheng frowned and said: "Su'er, in the past few years, our Li family has relied on you step by step, fame and wealth, and official titles, this is all your ability, you used your talent and life to win, and the Li family is also a glorious lintel, because of this." The hard-earned things must be cherished even more, no matter whether the person behind the scenes is the king of Qi or other powerful people, don't take risks and cause trouble, assassinate me, after all, I am not dead or injured, the other party did not succeed, just pretend to be confused and endure this breath, and continue to investigate. It doesn't end well for you or anyone else, it's a lose-lose situation. Su'er, there's no need for that, listen to Dad, just stop this matter, okay? ”
Li Su looked at his father and realized when he got closer. The wrinkles on Daddy's face seemed to be more than in previous years, and Li Su couldn't help but feel sad.
Smiling gently at Daddy, Li Su shook his head slowly but resolutely.
"Dad, the eldest husband was born in the world, and he didn't do anything. Something must be done, if the other party's assassination comes at me, it is easy to say that it is easy to forgive, but if you come to your father, this ...... Absolutely intolerable! Even if the other party is the king of heaven, this time I have to weigh his catties! ”
**************************************************************************
The cold wind howls, and everything is gloomy.
Chang'an ushered in the first snow of the year, the heavy snow fell for a day and a night, the snow had stopped in the early morning, and when I opened the door, I saw a white expanse, the heavy snow covered all the ugliness of the world, and the world seemed to be all clean.
Dongyang Taoist Temple, in the backyard side hall.
There are several pots of charcoal burning in the hall, which makes the hall warm and melting, Dongyang is wearing a sackcloth robe, the wide robe covers her Miaoman's body, and the charcoal fire will roast her cheeks red, revealing a bit of cuteness and beauty.
She held a scroll of scriptures in her hand, and she didn't know which page she read, but unconsciously, the hand holding the scriptures drooped, and her beautiful eyes glanced outside the hall, and in the courtyard outside the hall, more than a dozen palace maids were cleaning the snow in the courtyard.
Youyou sighed, Dongyang simply put down the scriptures, got up and walked to the front of the temple gate, leaning against the temple door, looking at the snow in the courtyard in a daze.
She can endure loneliness, but she can't calm down.
The case of assassinating Li Daozheng has happened for more than ten days, and Li Su has not seen her again in these ten days, and she knows that Li Su has been busy, busy finding out the real culprit behind the scenes.
To be honest, Dongyang really wanted to help, but she didn't know where to start, she only felt that there was nowhere to go, and this feeling of helplessness has always deeply affected her emotions.
This time she wanted to help, not for Li Su, but completely for Li Daozheng.
I still remember that after the incident, she temporarily transferred the guards of the Taoist temple to Li Su, and asked him to rush to the rescue, and she also hurriedly followed, fortunately the Li family had a loyal and righteous tribe, risking his life to save Li Daozheng, leaving enough time for the arrival of reinforcements, and Li Daozheng was unharmed.
The deepest impression was that Li Daozheng smiled at her at that time, she and Li Daozheng were far away at that time, and the most exciting thing was that when she subconsciously saluted Li Daozheng as a junior, Li Daozheng did not return the salute, but accepted her gift as an elder for the first time.
In the past few days, whenever Dongyang recalls the picture of Li Daozheng receiving a gift from her, he can't help but be excited.
This ceremony is exquisite, in this era of rejuvenating the country through etiquette, there are rules for etiquette, what kind of etiquette to do, what kind of etiquette to receive, not to be sloppy in the slightest, she and Li Su are known all over the world, Li Daozheng can not know, she has always been treated as a princess in the past, but on that day, Li Daozheng calmly accepted her ceremony, and the meaning of this is naturally self-evident.
Yes, it represents that the Li family acknowledges her existence as a person, admits that she is a member of the Li family, and in the eyes of others, she is still the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but in the eyes of the Li family, she is the daughter-in-law of the Li family.
After that day, Dongyang consciously regarded himself as a member of the Li family, and Li Daozheng was attacked, Dongyang naturally had the responsibility to do so, because she was the daughter-in-law of the Li family.
In fact, these days, not only Li Su is tracking down the real culprit behind the scenes, Dongyang has also sent the guards in the palace to investigate, but he has not found any valuable clues, after all, Dongyang was just a princess before, and she was a princess with an indifferent nature, she was not like other princes and princesses who intentionally or unintentionally cultivated and operated their own forces in Chang'an City, so when Dongyang wanted to do something this time, he found that he was at a loss and had nothing to do.
The deep helplessness and frustration made Dongyang uneasy and a little anxious for the past ten days.
In the courtyard outside the hall, the palace maids were still quietly cleaning the snow, Dongyang felt bored after being stunned for a while, sighed, turned around and planned to go back and recite the Qingjing Sutra again, so as to calm his emotions down, just turned around, but saw the personal palace maid Green Willow hurriedly walking towards her through the courtyard.
Walking in front of Dongyang, Lu Liu first bent down and saluted, and then said with a somewhat strange expression: "Your Highness...... There are guests visiting. ”
Dongyang's beautiful eyes lit up: "Yes...... He? ”
Midori Willow knew who this "him" was, shook his head, and said, "No." ”
Dongyang's eyes dimmed instantly, he snorted, stood up, and said: "Green Willow, you have been with me for many years, you know my rules, and if any guest refuses, it will be very good." ”
Green Willow hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But Your Highness...... This guest is different, she ...... It is the wife of Li Houye, Li Xu. ”
Dongyang was startled, his face suddenly changed, and there was a trace of inexplicable nervousness in the complexity.
"She, she's coming to me...... Green Willow, you invite her...... No, I'm going to greet it myself, oops, I, I'...... How can you see a guest like this, quick, ask someone to dress me up! ”
