Chapter 764: The Li Family Suspects

Li Guangrui hugged his fifteenth brother.

Although he still blames Li Guangjun in his heart for not knowing the general situation, he still runs out on such days; But after knowing that he was sent back alone, he realized that his younger brother must have encountered something unusual when he went out this time, most likely to be abducted by Pai Huazi, and he also had some concern for him in his heart. And he will not punish Li Guangjun in front of outsiders, all he shows is concern.

"What the hell is going on out there to you? What about the little guys who went out with you? Lee asked.

Li Guangjun still didn't speak in the face of his question, just nestled tightly in his arms.

At this time, Zhang Wuji spoke: "This son, we rescued him from the hands of two kidnappers. ……。 The two abductors should have fed him some medicine, which made Ling, the son of the mansion behave a little abnormal. Zhang Wuji, who disguised himself as a test hundred households of Guangzhou Zuowei, probably explained.

"Sure enough, I was abducted." Li Guangrui muttered softly, then raised his head and said to Zhang Wuji and the others: "Thank you to this Lord of the Hundred Households, the Lord of the Trial Hundred Households, and a few soldiers of the Ming Dynasty for saving my brother." ”

He thanked a few more words, asked in detail about the incident, asked the surnames of the hundred households and the 'trial hundred households', and then said: "Tomorrow is the seventieth birthday of the old lady of my Li family, so I didn't entertain a few today, please forgive me; Because my fifteenth brother has been abducted and has to hide it from the old lady, I can't entertain a few people tomorrow. ”

"But," he first turned his head and ordered his servant a few words, then turned back and said, "My Li family will definitely not treat anyone who has helped the Li family badly. ”

At this time, his servant took out six items similar to envelopes and handed them to Li Guangrui, who took them and said, "This is my Li family's name post." My Li family still has some reputation in Guangzhou City, even if several of them are elites of the health center, they may not be useless. ”

"In addition, I gave Master Kong Baihu and Master Zhang Xian Baihu two hundred taels of silver each, and several brothers one hundred taels of silver each, as a reward for the rescue of my brother."

Zhang Wuji stretched out his hand to take the name card and looked at it, and the name written on it was Li Guangrui. He already knew that the person in front of him was called Li Guangrui, the eldest grandson of the Li family and the future patriarch. This name alone is already a very heavy reward, not to mention that there are hundreds of taels of silver.

The ancient name card is not the same as the business card issued everywhere in later generations, but it really represents the person written on the name card, and the person who holds Lee Guangrui's name card can meet almost all the people that Lee Guangrui can meet, and those who can't provoke Lee Guangrui will also weigh it in the face of those who hold his name.

Zhang Wuji was thinking about it, Kong Baihu had already said a few kind words, but he never accepted these rewards. If Zhang Wuji was not around, he would definitely accept it immediately, this is two hundred taels of silver and a name card of the Li family's grandson! But Zhang Wuji, the guard next to the emperor, was there, and it was obviously not very proper to accept so many gifts from businessmen, so he didn't dare to accept it, but he just said kind words while secretly looking at Zhang Wuji.

Zhang Wuji reacted and said, "Master Li, you don't have to repay us like this. When we rescued the little prince of your mansion, we were guarding the outermost part of the emperor's travel, and it was the guards around the emperor who let us save the little prince of your mansion. ”

Li Guangrui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No matter what, it was a few brothers who saved me, I am grateful, you deserve these belongings, please accept them." ”

Zhang Wuji wanted to continue to shirk, but remembered that Yun Xi once said things like 'those who are righteous and brave should be rewarded' and the allusion of 'Zigong ransom', so he changed his words and said: "Then we will be disrespectful." Then he accepted the name tag and the money. Seeing that he accepted it, Kong Baihu and others were also busy accepting it.

Lee Guangrui greeted them for a while and sent them out of the mansion.

He immediately went to the courtyard of his father Li Jihu to report the incident. Li Guangjun couldn't find things that he could hide from the old man, but he couldn't hide them from his father.

After listening to Li Guangrui's report, Li Jihu didn't care about what happened to his youngest son, but asked, "Do you think there is anything wrong?" ”

"The fact that the fifteenth brother was abducted and rescued by them should be true, and it should indeed be saved when he was protecting the emperor. But first of all, the so-called trial hundred households are not at all like a trial hundred households, even if he is sent by a military general family in Guangzhou to accumulate qualifications underneath. Not only does he not speak like a trial hundred, although he still looks young, the momentum on his body is not even comparable to the magistrate of Nanhai County. ”

"Secondly, it is strange that they did not immediately accept what their son was going to give them. The people of these guards could not enter the city casually on weekdays, and their salaries were not high, and their eyes should be lit up when they saw one or two hundred taels of silver and treasure money, but they did not dare to accept it until the trial hundred households accepted it. ”

"Third, they even took the initiative to say that it was the guards around the emperor who asked them to save the fifteenth brother and send him back. It doesn't sound like a fake, but it's incredible. How can there be a reason to take the initiative to push the credit outward. Lee said. He said all three in one breath, which shows that he has been thinking about it for a long time.

"You're right." Li Jihu said: "There are indeed three things that are wrong. However, these three inaccuracies can actually be counted as a problem. That is the identity of the so-called trial hundred households surnamed Zhang. What do you think he is? ”

"If the son's expectations are good, he should be the emperor's guards, or the generals of the guards who followed the emperor all the way from the capital." Lee said.

Li Jihu nodded, but said: "But even if it's true, since the guard or the military general from the capital didn't reveal his identity, then our family shouldn't investigate it in detail, and this matter will end here." Go down and arrange your father's birthday tomorrow. ”

"Yes, Dad." Li Guangrui agreed and stepped back.

But after he stepped back, Li Jihu walked out of the back door of the house and went to another place. It wasn't long before he came to the door of a small courtyard. If Li Guangrui was here, he would be very surprised: this courtyard was the courtyard that his grandfather Li Xianming raised on weekdays.

Li Jihu said a few words to the subordinate guarding the door, walked into the courtyard, and soon saw Li Xianming.

Li Xianming was sitting on the bed at this time, eating fruit under the service of the maid. He heard footsteps walking into the house, looked up and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Dad, that's the kind of thing." Li Jihu then said about the suspected guard who sent his youngest son Li Guangjun back.

Li Xianming listened quietly, not surprised that his fifteenth grandson had almost gone missing. In fact, not to mention the things outside the mansion, no matter how big or small what happened in the mansion, Li Xianming will know immediately, as long as he is willing.

After Li Jihu finished talking about it, Li Xianming said: "You said that you want to ...... this matter."

"Dad, those tooth people who have lost their errands because of His Majesty's will have been uneasy recently, as if they are making ......, Guangjun was arrested, maybe it has nothing to do with them. Do we want to ......," Li Jihu said.

"Wait and see, don't make decisions too early." Li Xianming said.
