Chapter 532: Peel off the cocoon
"Quick, Miss is inside!"
About a quarter of an hour after Li Hongyu and his party left, a large group of officials came to the mountain temple out of breath, and the person who took the lead glanced at the temple and shouted loudly to the servants who followed behind. Tian Lai Xiao said. ⒉
Hearing this, the servants immediately rushed into the mountain temple and rescued Xu Fang, who was crying with pear blossoms, and those who were tied up.
"Miss, he'...... They didn't embarrass you, did they? ”
The leader of the people who came to the rescue this time was naturally the middle-aged errand who handed over Chen Asan to Chen Ada, seeing Xu Fang crying sadly, her heart suddenly chuckled, thinking that she was being bullied by those kidnappers, and hurriedly asked nervously.
"Quick, go and save Mr. and Sister Red Butterfly, that gang of gangsters took them away." Xu Fang shook his head when he heard this, and then said to the middle-aged messenger in tears.
She thought that she had harmed Li Hongyu and Youlan, and felt that the target of those kidnappers was her, so she implicated Li Hongyu and Youlan, not only that, but also because Xu Lun did not pay the ransom and was taken away by those gangsters, and her life and death are unknown.
"Hurry up and chase it, you must save Mr. and the Red Butterfly girl." The middle-aged errand officer realized that Li Hongyu and Red Butterfly were not at the scene, and hurriedly shouted at the errand officer beside him, no matter what, Xu Fang is safe and sound, he can finally give an account to Xu Lun.
When the officers heard this, they immediately rushed out and hurriedly pursued in the direction where Li Hongyu and the others left, but because Li Hongyu and Youlan were not big dealers in Fuzhou City, the progress of these officers gradually slowed down tacitly, and they didn't want to catch up with those fierce kidnappers.
As a result, the servants chased for more than ten miles and saw no trace of Li Hongyu and Youlan and others, so they went back to the middle-aged messenger to return to their lives, which made Xu Fang feel extremely lost after hearing this, and it became a knot in her heart that was difficult to untie.
The news that Xu Lun sent troops to rescue Xu Fang, Li Hongyu, Youlan and others who were kidnapped by the kidnappers soon spread in Fuzhou City, and people were shocked by this.
It was rumored in the market that the kidnappers extorted 100,000 taels of silver worth from the prefect, but the prefect couldn't take it out and was forced to transfer troops to suppress the bandits, which invisibly promoted Xu Lun's reputation for honesty.
The only regret in this incident is that Li Hongyu and Youlan, who were in the limelight in Fuzhou City, were kidnapped by those outlaws, and their whereabouts are unknown, and they do not know whether they live or die, which has become an unsolved mystery in Fuzhou City.
The Fujian Provincial Political Envoy has personally supervised the case, made every effort to pursue the kidnappers, and rewarded those who provided clues.
At the same time, the rank of the slain "Chen Asan" was hung on a wooden pole outside the gate of Nancheng to show the public, and no one would have thought that the real Chen Asan had regained his freedom.
The entrance to a small town.
"Third brother, when you return home, you must listen to your father's teachings and be careful in everything." Chen Adaa said solemnly to Chen Asan, Li Hongyu and Youlan stood aside.
Since the stand-in had already died on behalf of Chen Asan, in order to avoid trouble, and also to paralyze the enemies hiding in the shadows, Chen Adaa decided to let Chen Asan return to his hometown to avoid the limelight temporarily.
"Big brother, don't worry, after this incident, I will definitely change my mind and change my ways." Chen Asan bowed his hand to Chen A-Dayi and solemnly agreed.
"Mr. Li, I don't thank you for my great kindness, even if you can use Chen's place in the future, you will not hesitate to go to the soup and go to the fire."
Then, Chen Asan walked up to Li Hongyu, bowed to Li Hongyu and said in a deep voice, he already knew the ins and outs of the matter at this time, and knew that the biggest hero who rescued him was Li Hongyu, who had both the idea and the man himself, and he was very grateful.
"Brother Chen is polite, he just did his best." Li Hongyu smiled disappreciatively and behaved humbly and politely.
"Little sister, I'm relieved to have Mr. Li by your side, you have to decide how to go in the future, don't learn from the third brother to take some detours."
Chen Asan's eyes flashed with emotion when he heard this, and he knew that Li Hongyu didn't expect him to repay him, so he bowed to Li Hongyu again, looked at Youlan after bowing, and said to her with a look of relief.
From this rescue incident, Li Hongyu showed Fan's wisdom and courage, and has always firmly controlled the situation in his hands.
In Chen Asan's opinion, Li Hongyu is enough to protect Youlan, and Youlan also likes Li Hongyu, but there is an invisible barrier between the two, which makes the two have a sense of respect for each other and less intimacy between lovers.
Therefore, Chen Asan reminded Youlan to seize the opportunity, as a prodigal son in love, he knew how difficult it was to meet a wishful lover.
"Hmm!" Of course, Youlan heard the meaning of Chen Asan's words, her cheeks couldn't help but blush, and she bowed slightly, and said, "Third brother, be careful on the road, you must listen to your father when you go back, everything he does is for your good." ”
"The third brother wrote it down." Chen Asan smiled when he heard this, and said to everyone, "There will be a period later!" ”
"There will be a date later!" Li Hongyu and Chen Ah Da bowed their hands in return, and Chen Asan then got into the carriage parked on the side, and soon disappeared on the official road in the distance.
"Mr. Li, I found out from the yamen, and Governor Xu really received a secret report, knowing that we were going to rob the prison, and set up a lot of ambushes in the prison."
Chen Adaa made a gesture of invitation to Li Hongyu, and said to Li Hongyu with a frown as he walked, "It seems that someone is secretly dealing with us, but I don't know who it is, if we don't find out, I'm afraid he will still do it." ”
"Generally speaking, whoever benefits the most from the matter of the third prince is the one behind the scenes."
Li Hongyu groaned for a moment when he heard this, and said to Chen Ada, "I've figured it out these days, and I feel that there are not many people who are qualified to challenge you, and even fewer people have the motivation to do so. ”
"I recently received news that my third brother's affairs were done by Shi Hu, and Shi Hu wants to take advantage of our internal chaos to annex our territory in one fell swoop."
Chen Ah Da frowned when he heard this, and then told Li Hongyu a piece of news, and said expressionlessly, "Shi Hu is treacherous and murderous by nature, and it is really possible to do such a thing as a secret arrow to hurt people!" ”
"Having said that, Shi Hu's motive for doing this seems to be a bit far-fetched, Shi Hu is a smart person, he should know the truth of the same qi and branches, you five parties can be said to be both prosperous and lossy, if he does this, it will undoubtedly destroy the Great Wall!"
Li Hongyu had a different opinion on this matter, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Besides, none of you in the five parties has the strength of one of them now, so the best choice is to maintain the status quo." ”
"Mr. Li, do you mean that Shi Hu didn't do this?" Chen Ada's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, but he didn't expect Li Hongyu to have another opinion on Chen Asan's matter.
"If they want to annex you, then the other three forces also have this possibility."
Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said with a serious expression, "Shi Hu is scheming, this kind of person will definitely not make a loss-making business, his current territory is big enough, and once the balance of power on Xiaoliuqiu Island is broken, it will inevitably lead to a scuffle, which is not in the interests of Shi Hu." ”
Chen Ada's brows couldn't help frowning, and then he frowned slightly, he understood the meaning of Li Hongyu's words, as a vested interest on Xiaoliuqiu Island, Shi Hu's strength was not enough to swallow others, so he would not act rashly at this time.
"Mr. Li, who do you say is most likely to do this?" After a deep sigh, Chen Adaa looked at Li Hongyu with curiosity, wanting to hear Li Hongyu's opinion.
"Being able to know the whereabouts of the third prince and the robbery shows that the other party's power is not small, otherwise it would be impossible to know these **."
Li Hongyu thought about it when he heard this, then stopped and said to Chen Ada, "I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, with the current situation on the island, if you five forces want to annex the other party, they will definitely be checked and balanced by the other three parties, and now none of them can fight against the other three parties, so I'm afraid no one will do this." ”
"Therefore, I don't think this time it's like it's a competition for territory, maybe someone wants to take the opportunity to provoke you to merge with Shi Huhu, and then take advantage of the fisherman."
As he spoke, a sneer flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, "He thought he hid it tightly, but in fact, he had already revealed his flaws, and I think there is only one person who has this ability and can do this." ”
"Who?" Chen Ada's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he asked in a deep voice, wanting to know who the person Li Hongyu was talking about was sacred.
"Not long ago, there was a major event on the island, which caused a subtle change in the balance of power of your five parties." Li Hongyu pondered for a while, looked at Chen Ah Da and said in an orderly manner, "This is likely to cause someone to stir up disputes in order to protect themselves." ”
"You mean, this matter has something to do with the new Wang Ren?" Chen Ada's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask.
He had never thought of this before, after the previous infighting, Wang Ren's power was only about sixty percent of Wang Liangshi's, and he was in an out-and-out weak position, so in his opinion, Wang Ren was busy consolidating his territory, where did he have the heart to murder Chen Asan.
However, listening to Li Hongyu's reminder, Chen Adaa felt that Wang Ren could not be ruled out of suspicion, and sometimes the strongest defensive means on the battlefield was not passive defense but active attack.
"Since Wang Ren dared to take Wang Liang's position, it means that this person has a lot of ambitions, and he should know very well that once he fights in the life, his power will be greatly reduced, and he must want to have a backup move for this."
Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said to Chen Adaa in a deep voice, "Once Wang Ren's power is greatly reduced, he will not be able to sit on an equal footing with the four of you, and the four of you will naturally no longer value him, coupled with Wang Liang's old department, he will definitely find a way to protect himself, the best way is to provoke trouble and divert the attention of the outside world, and he will take advantage of the chaos to make profits." ”
"Once we start a war with Shi Hu, then Wang Ren can profit from both sides and secretly expand under the guise of taking refuge in us and Shi Hu!"
Chen Ada's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and then followed Li Hongyu's words, "If we fight with Shi Hu to lose both, he can swallow us at that time!" ”
"I'm afraid it should be."
Li Hongyu nodded, and then said in a deep voice, "There may be other possibilities, but judging from the current situation, it is most likely to be related to Wang Ren, and you should beware of Wang Ren getting in the way." ”
"This person even dared to kill his sworn brother who was kind to him, and he also took the lives of Wang Liang's whole family, he is a sinister and despicable person, and he must be well prepared."
Chen Ah Da nodded immediately when he heard this, and said with a solemn expression, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, if Chen Ah San's matter was really related to Wang Ren, he would never let Wang Ren go.
