Chapter 347: Helpless Reality (3rd Watch)

(Recommended reading: Seeing Yang Li'er crying and leaving, Aunt Mei and the village chief looked at each other and sighed helplessly, the two knew that she was uncomfortable, maybe crying could relieve the pressure and depression in her heart.

Li Hongyu originally didn't want to care about Yang Li'er's affairs, but when he thought of Yang Li'er being lonely, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Yang Li'er, after all, Yang Li'er's current experience was caused by him.

Therefore, after Li Honggao finished eating, he asked the village chief to find someone to make a new meal, and went to Yang Li'er with a food box, preparing to enlighten her, so that she would not be so depressed.

The sea led the two sturdy young offspring to follow far behind, preventing Li Hongyu from escaping, as long as Li Hongyu did not escape, he still had a lot of personal freedom, not to mention that Yang Li'er would ask him for help in the future, just because he was Yang Li'er's life-saving benefactor, Yang Li'er would treat him well.

Yang Li'er sat in the shade of a big tree on the bank, holding her knees with her hands and looking at the surging river in a daze, her face was full of tears, no matter how strong she was, she was just a girl, and it was very hard to bear such a lot of pressure alone.

"I don't want to persuade you anything, I just want to tell you that if your body collapses, then there will be no one to save Gang Leader Yang and Mrs. Yang." Li Hongyu sat down next to Yang Li'er, put the food box in front of her, looked at the writing and said to himself.

Yang Li'er bit her lip when she heard this, wiped the tears on her cheeks, and then opened the food box and took out the food and ate it, Li Hongyu was right, now all the hope of saving people fell on her shoulders.

"Actually, I saw Lord Qincha when I took the township exam in Wuchang the year before last, he is not the kind of arrogant person, this time he made a big fuss about the casino, and he came to the Cao Gang, and the Yang Gang Leader and Mrs. Lu just suffered from the unjustified disaster."

Seeing Yang Li'er start eating, a smile flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, and then he quietly opened his mouth to comfort, "In my opinion, the Yang Gang Leader will definitely turn evil into good fortune, after all, the Cao Gang shoulders the great cause of Cao Yun, and once there is a change, it will have a far-reaching impact." ”

"Li Gongzi, you are wrong, what the court wants is the stability of the Cao Gang, and no one cares whether my father lives or dies." Yang Li'er's mood had calmed down at this time, she knew that Li Hongyu was comforting her, shook her head and said lightly, her face was full of gloom.

Li Hongyu suddenly fell silent when he heard this, what Yang Li'er said was right, what he wanted was stability and obedience to the Cao Gang, as for who would be at the helm of the Cao Gang, he didn't care much, and now he chose Yang Xiaotian just because he felt that Yang Xiaotian's character was good and worth dating, and once there was a more suitable candidate than Yang Xiaotian, he would undoubtedly give up Yang Xiaotian, this is the cruel reality.

Yang Li'er silently pulled the food into her mouth, she couldn't imagine that the person who controlled the fate of Yang Xiaotian and the Lu family was beside her.

"Thank you." Unconsciously, Yang Li'er finished eating, thanked Li Hongyu after putting away the food box, and then continued to hug her knees and look at the river in a daze, her mind is very messed up now, and she is in a very bad mood.

"Miss Yang, the third prince of the Salt Merchants Association has many ways, why don't you let him help you, if he can find someone to mediate between them, maybe things will take a turn for the better."

Li Hongyu pondered for a moment, and then reminded that if someone could mediate from it, then he would have a reason to let Yang Xiaotian and the Lu family go.

In the final analysis, the human relationship on the market is very important, and various interpersonal networks are interlocking, so as long as the third prince is willing to put his mind to it, he can definitely find the right person to come and talk to Yang Xiaotian and the Lu couple.

"I don't want to drag him into the water." The look on Yang Li'er's face became even more lonely when she heard this, and it became quite complicated, and then she said quietly.

Li Hongyu couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he heard this, I'm afraid that things are not as simple as Yang Li'er said, judging from the close relationship between the two, the third prince is her only support, and now it is the life and death of Yang Xiaotian and the Lu family Yang Li'er The first rescuer Yang Li'er thought of was naturally the third son, but she chose to flee to this small fishing village, so there must be something hidden here.

From Yang Lier's complicated look, Li Hongyu couldn't help but think of one thing, the third prince was originally with Yang Li'er that night, but then he left for some reason, which led to Yang Li'er's attack, if the third prince didn't leave, Yang Li'er would definitely stay with the third prince in the casino.

Thinking of this, Li Hongyu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, although he couldn't conclude whether the sudden departure of the third prince was related to Yang Li'er's attack, but it was certain that the third prince left too abruptly, and there must be something unknown to the public.

Li Hongyu guessed correctly, Aunt Mei was well-informed, and suspected that Yang Li'er's attack was related to the third son, although the third son could not harm Yang Li'er, but the third son's father could not be sure.

Since the salt merchants' salt is mainly transported by Cao, so the salt merchants will have a good relationship with the Cao Gang, and now that the Cao Gang has undergone major changes, the people of the Salt Merchants Association will definitely make some trade-offs for the sake of future interests, Yang Li'er is likely to have been abandoned by the Salt Merchants Association, otherwise he will not be ambushed, obviously the other party has known Yang Li'er's whereabouts, this can only be the people around the third prince leaked out.

Because of this, Yang Li'er is now depressed and unhappy, she never imagined that the only man she could rely on would be unreliable, and her heart was extremely sad, after all, it was the father of the third prince who spoke effectively in the salt merchant association.

Just when Li Hongyu fell into deep thought, there was a sound of children playing not far away, it turned out that a group of children ran to the river to play in the water, and jumped into the water to play after stripping off one by one, laughing constantly.

Li Hongyu looked at the child who was carefree and playing in the water, with a look of envy on his face, if he wasn't preparing for the troubled times in the future, he would now be a boy who came to stretch out his hand and eat to open his mouth, and he lived a free life, without having to work so hard.

"Sister, I caught a big fish, will I give you a stew to drink at night." Just when Li Hongyu fell into emotion, a child holding a tender and fatty crucian carp in his hand ran in front of Yang Li'er and said with a smile.

Li Hongyu recognized it, this child was the grandson of the village chief, the son of the big brother of the sea, and knew that Yang Li'er had not eaten, so he ran over.

"Hmm." A hint of a smile appeared on Yang Li'er's pale cheeks when she heard this, and she reached out and touched the child's head affectionately.

Seeing this, the child raised the crucian carp in her hand and left happily, and the smile on Yang Li'er's cheeks disappeared immediately, and a lonely look resurfaced on her face.

"Alas!" Li Hongyu sighed secretly, he was a person who cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade, and he didn't want to see Yang Li'er so depressed, but he couldn't tell Yang Li'er the truth now, so he could only wait and see what happened.

At noon the next day, Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er sat around the dining table for lunch, and both of them were silent, which made the atmosphere of the scene a little solemn.

"Miss, no, the latest news is that the two sons have been escorted to Huai'an by people from the government." Suddenly, Aunt Mei hurried in and said to Yang Li'er in a coquettish voice, followed by the village chief with a gloomy face.

"What?" Yang Li'er was taken aback when she heard this, her hand shook, and her chopsticks fell to the ground.

Yang Li'er's two elder brothers, one in Hangzhou and the other in Jining, she originally thought that she could escape at least one, but she didn't expect to be caught by the government so quickly.

"It is rumored that it was Deputy Gang Leader Zhang who gave the order, arrested the two sons and handed them over to the local government, and were escorted to Huai'an by the local yamen." Aunt Mei gritted her teeth when she heard this, "Deputy Gang Leader Zhang has coveted the position of the gang leader for a long time, and this time it seems that he is going to take the opportunity to destroy the gang leader's people in the Cao Gang!" ”

Li Hongyu couldn't help but slow down the speed of pulling food into his mouth when he heard this, he knew that the deputy gang leader Zhang in Aunt Mei's mouth was referring to Tieshan, the deputy gang leader of the Cao Gang, who could be described as Yang Xiaotian's sworn enemy, and would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Yang Xiaotian's power in the Cao Gang.

"Damn!" Yang Li'er immediately bit her lip when she heard this, compared to the government, Zhang Tieshan now brings the greatest threat.

"However, there is also good news, I don't know which brother assassinated the dog officer in order to avenge the gang leader, but unfortunately the arrow missed, otherwise it would have killed the dog officer."

Seeing Yang Li'er's worried expression, Aunt Mei then told her a good news and said to her in a loud voice, "As long as that dog official dies, the matter of the helper will be much easier, and there will be a lot more room for maneuver." ”

"What's going on"? Yang Li'er was taken aback when she heard this, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"The day before yesterday, when the dog officer was out playing, a brother from the gang ambushed in the building on the road out of resentment, and shot an arrow at the window of the carriage where the dog officer was riding, but unfortunately he was too nervous to shoot it off, and the arrow shot past the side of the carriage and hit the door of a shop, and then the brother committed suicide with a knife and died well!"

Aunt Mei suddenly had a look of regret on her face when she heard this, in his opinion, as long as the young and vigorous Li Hongyu died, then the successor Qin Cha would definitely be more sophisticated than Li Hongyu, and he would definitely not want to make a big mess with the Cao Gang, so he would definitely make concessions on the matter of Yang Xiaotian and the Lu family.

"It's a pity, why didn't God open his eyes and kill that dog officer!" When Yang Li'er heard this, she immediately said in a hateful voice, feeling very disappointed that Li Hongyu was fine.

"Fortunately, Lord Qincha is fine, otherwise Gang Leader Yang and Mrs. Lu would have waited to bury Lord Qincha!"

Li Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he thought that something had happened to the stand-in, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, looked at Yang Li'er quietly, and said, "Lord Qincha is a popular person in front of the emperor, if something happens to Lord Qincha, the emperor will definitely be furious, and I am afraid that the entire Cao Gang will cease to exist at that time!" ”

"The emperor will make a big fight for that dog official, isn't he afraid of affecting Cao's luck?" Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and asked rhetorically.

"Lord Qincha is the face of the emperor sent to the place, once something happens, won't it be a ruined face?"

Li Hongyu shook his head, it seems that Aunt Mei underestimated Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli is actually very stubborn, once the decision is absolutely difficult to change, he will definitely avenge Li Hongyu, how can he sit back and watch the Cao Gang provoke the majesty of the imperial power.

There is a saying that the quick knife cuts the mess and the long pain is not as good as the short pain, although the elimination of the Cao Gang will affect the Cao luck within a year or two, but in the long run, it will be beneficial, there will definitely be new forces to lead the Cao Gang, submit to the imperial court, the Wanli Emperor to eliminate this may pose a threat to the imperial power of the hidden danger.

Aunt Mei's face suddenly became ugly when she heard this, although she was well versed in the exchange of interests in officialdom, and felt that Li Hongyu could save Yang Xiaotian and the Lu family through the exchange of interests after being assassinated, but she ignored the attitude of the Wanli Emperor, if the Wanli Emperor was provoked to kill Yang Xiaotian and the Lu family, then the situation would be bad.

Yang Li'er also came back to her senses at this time, thinking that Li Hongyu was reasonable, didn't this mean that the brother in the gang did something bad with good intentions?

"Are you really sure he wants to avenge Gang Leader Yang, not push Gang Leader Yang into the fire pit?"

Seeing Yang Li'er and Aunt Mei's grim expressions, Li Hongyu asked solemnly after a deep sigh, which made Yang Li'er and Aunt Mei look at him in amazement, and they didn't understand the meaning of his words for a while.
