Chapter 84: Unbearable (I)
After basically confirming that Chen Yingliang was hiding in the Weixuan Mansion and finalizing the plan to kill people and eliminate the mouth, Chai Shen and Chai Shao immediately sent out the family members who had seen Chen Yingliang at home, and divided them into two shifts to monitor the gate of the Wei Mansion day and night, just waiting for Chen Yingliang to leave the Wei Mansion, and at the first opportunity, they would take action to solve Chen Yingliang outside the Wei Mansion and get rid of Chen Yingliang, who had already threatened the glory, wealth, prestige and power of the old Chai family.
Lao Chai's family didn't have this opportunity, and after returning to Weifu from Taipingfang that day, Chen Yingliang was immediately scolded by Wei Ziqi, because when Chen Yingliang went out that day, he neither greeted Wei Ziqi nor brought a Weifu family member who could act as a talisman, so that Wei Ziqi, who had been instructed by his grandfather, was scared at home all day. Then, of course, Wei Ziqi strictly forbade Chen Yingliang to go out privately, and let Chen Yingliang stay at home honestly and wait for Wei Xuan to return to Daxing.
In fact, even if there is no scolding from Wei Ziqi, Chen Yingliang is too lazy to go out to Daxing City to swagger, first, because he can't see Yang Yuer again, and secondly, after listening to Chai Qian's crying in the rain, Chen Yingliang, whose conscience has not been eaten up by the dog, has already found that he is also at fault, and he is a little sorry for the innocent former fiancΓ©e, and with a little guilt, Chen Yingliang also changed his mind and decided not to continue to hurt Chai Qian, and decided that as long as the Chai family stopped, he would look at Chai Qian's face, and he was too lazy to continue to entangle with the old Chai family, and everyone settled the matter.
Because of this, Chen Yingliang also gave up his plan to deliberately expand the situation, and honestly stayed in the Wei Mansion to wait for Wei Lao's stubborn return, and by the way, he accompanied Chen Laosan, who had been dependent on him for many years, and personally served Chen Laosan with his own hands to repay Chen Laosan for taking care of him for many years, just for Chen Laosan's surprise, Chen Yingliang still did not tell Chen Laosan his true situation, only said that he found a messenger outside and was friends with the master of the Wei Mansion, but even if Chen Yingliang deliberately concealed it, It is enough to make Chen Laosan cry with joy, and keep talking about his son's anger, even if he dies, he will have the face to see Chen Yingliang's grandfather, grandmother and parents.
In this way, more than a few days passed quickly, and on the afternoon of the second day when the Chai family father and son decided to kill Chen Yingliang, Wei Lao stubbornly sent a fast horse to report to the imperial city of Daxing, saying that he would arrive in Daxing at about noon the next day. As Wei Xuan's only grandson, Wei Ziqi naturally had to go out of the city to greet him, and he had to greet Yang Yu together.
The order was issued, as one of the captains of the honor guard of the Daxing Imperial City, Chai Shen of course had to prepare in advance, and he had to enter the imperial city immediately to prepare the honor guard, and Chai Shao, who was one of the members of the honor guard, could not escape, and he also had to return to the imperial city immediately, accept the task arrangement of the superiors, and definitely have to follow the brigade the next day, and it was difficult to draw his own time to personally command Chen Yingliang's murderous and exterminating plan. Forced to be helpless, Chai Shen's father and son had no choice but to entrust this matter to Chai Shao's powerful wife Li Xiuning, fortunately, Li Xiuning knew that this matter was related to the future of her husband's family, and even the survival of the family, so she was obliged to agree.
By the way, Chai Shen's father and son actually wanted Li Er, who was a little ghost, to also participate in this matter and help Li Xiuning finish off Chen Yingliang, but unfortunately Li Er refused to agree no matter what, because Li Er's brother Li Jiancheng had already confessed, and asked Li Er and Li San and Li Xuanba to follow him to the city to meet Wei Xuan's team, one is to express his respect for Wei Xuan, the emperor of Daxingtu, and the other is to take the opportunity to approach the legendary little Chen Qingzhi and try to complete his father Li Yuan's explanation, and at the same time, Li Er himself doesn't want to fall too deep in this matter, So I refused my brother-in-law's request. Chai Shao had no choice but to pin all his hopes on his wife.
In fact, the people who want to meet Chen Yingliang are not only the Li family brothers? Thanks to Yang Xuangan's blessing, Xiao Chen Qingzhi, who captured Yang Xuangan and the famous general Li Zixiong, has long been famous in Daxing City, up to the acting king Yang Yu and Daxing hundred officials, down to the common people in the market, almost no one has never heard of Xiao Chen Qingzhi's prestige, and they are all full of curiosity about this legendary invincible Xiao Chen Qingzhi, and they all want to see with their own eyes how many arms and legs this little Chen Qingzhi with hundreds of troops dares to break into tens of thousands of enemy camps. It's definitely not just Li Yuan.
Chai Qian, whose condition has improved greatly, is also a little curious about Xiao Chen Qingzhi and the white-robed soldiers, but she is far from being curious enough to go out of the city to see the white-robed soldiers in person, and it stands to reason that Chai Qian, who has not recovered from her illness, will not be able to go out of the city to see the white-robed soldiers in person, but the plan has not changed quickly, when Chai Qian's best friend Yang Yuer sent her confidant eunuch Xie Mudong to visit her, she put forward an invitation to let Chai Qian go outside the city to meet the white-robed soldiers and Xiao Chen Qingzhi, and Xie Mudong also clearly told Chai Qian, said that Yang Yuer's move was with the consent of her mother, which was more upright and bright, Chai Qian also immediately changed her mind and agreed to go outside the city with Yang Yuer to watch the excitement.
"Take this opportunity to ask Yu'er carefully about that Liang Cheng's situation by the way, and see who he is, why he is so mean to me, and doesn't even give me any face." Chai Qian's real purpose is this.
Oh, by the way, by the way, the Daxing unmarried girl who decided to go outside the city to witness Xiao Chen Qingzhi's majesty the next day was definitely not only Chai Qian and Yang Yuer, almost at the same time that Chai Qian made up her mind, in the Longzheng Square of Daxing City, in the home of an official of Honglu Temple, a pair of young brothers and sisters also learned that Wei Xuan's team would return to Daxing on this day because their uncle was a ceremonial officer, and also knew that Xiao Chen Qingzhi and the white-robed soldiers would arrive together, and the sixteen-year-old brother was very interested in this, couldn't wait to say to the thirteen-year-old sister Li: "Guanyin, how about we go out of the city together tomorrow to see the excitement?" I want to see with my own eyes what kind of person the legendary little Chen Qingzhi is. β
"Okay." Sister Lu Li replied happily: "I have long heard my uncle say that little Chen Qingzhi is a young hero, only one or two years older than your brother, and I have long wanted to see him with my own eyes." β
"Xiao Chen Qingzhi, we are finally going to meet." In the Zhengfang adjacent to the Longzheng Fang, Li Jiancheng, who received the news, was also looking into the distance in the east, full of anticipation, "I want to see with my own eyes whether you are really as civil and military as the legend says, brave and invincible." If yes, I must make you use it for my Li family! β
At the same time, in the home of Emperor Wei Xuan, Chen Yingliang finally made up his mind after thinking about it, and said secretly: "Forget it, for the sake of Chai Qian's poor girl's face, let's do it tomorrow, I will quietly take the third uncle to the outside of the city to return to the team, and enter the city with the army to serve the country, give the third uncle a surprise, and let the old Chai family see what kind of situation I am now, as long as they don't make stupid mistakes and don't get into the water in their heads, the matter between me and them can be thoroughly understood." As for the third uncle's broken leg, I don't believe that his Chai family dares not to give me a satisfactory explanation! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The next morning, Wei Ziqi entered the imperial city early to see the acting king Yang Yu, and when he left, he told Chen Yingliang to go out of the city by himself, and met outside the city, Chen Yingliang agreed, and went back to the room to serve Chen Laosan with his own medicine, and then shared breakfast with Chen Laosan, Zhao Cheng and Yu Le and others, and it was also time to eat, Chen Yingliang said to Chen Laosan: "Third uncle, after eating, let's go out of the city together, today the guard stays behind to escort Yang Xuangan to return to the city in triumph, let's go to see the excitement together." β
"Childe, you can go." Chen Laosan, who had already looked much better, smiled with relief: "The old slave's legs are inconvenient, so I won't go to join in this fun, and I will cause you trouble, son, you go, the old slave will stay here and wait for you to come back." β
"Uncle San, I usually listen to you, but not today." Chen Yingliang shook his head and said with a smile: "You must go today, I want to surprise you." β
"Yes, third uncle, Brother Ying Liang wants to give you a big surprise." Zhao Cheng interjected and said, "At that time, we will keep the third uncle, you can't close your mouth with a smile, and you can't believe it in surprise." β
"Really? What kind of surprise is it? Chen Laosan became interested and asked curiously.
It's already the last step, Chen Yingliang naturally won't go to the bottom of the riddle, just smiled and said: "Third uncle, I'm telling you now, I'm afraid you can't believe it, anyway, you will know when the time comes, we will go out of the city after eating, you must go." β
"Childe, if you can come back safely, it will be the biggest surprise for the old slave, don't be an old slave." Chen Laosan's tone was a little emotional, and he said: "Okay, since you must go to the old slave, then the old slave will go with you." β
Chen Yingliang nodded with a smile, and at this time, a subordinate of the Wei Mansion suddenly came in outside the room, and also picked up a load of food boxes, and said to Chen Yingliang after putting it down: "Chen Gongzi, our young son sent someone to order a table of wine and food for you in Guangju Building, saying that he couldn't have breakfast with you today, and he will use this table of wine and food to make amends to you, the wine and food have been delivered, please feel free." β
"Thank you, Wei Gongzi is so polite and thoughtful, the food in your house is already very good, why bother ordering it from outside." Chen Yingliang was modest, and he also took out a little money to reward the next person.
"Haha, thank you Gongzi Wei!" Zhao Cheng, who was slanderous, was overjoyed, hurriedly went to move the food box, and greeted Yu Le again: "Yu Le, come and help, we can go out of the city to meet other brothers when we are full." β
Yu Le agreed, hurriedly came over to help carry the round food boxes with vermilion carvings on the table and opened them, took out plates of exquisite dishes, and then hurriedly greeted Chen Yingliang and Chen Laosan: "Third uncle, Brother Yingliang, you invite first." β
"Third uncle, please first."
Chen Yingliang politely asked the older Chen Laosan to lift the chopsticks first, Chen Laosan was modest again and again, and then he picked up the chopsticks and vegetables, and Zhao Cheng and Yu Le, the two hungry wolves, couldn't wait to pick up the wine and food, but at this time, Chen Yingliang's eyes suddenly glanced at the round food box on the table, and immediately blurted out: "Wait!" Don't eat it yet! β
"What's the matter?" Chen Laosan, Zhao Cheng and Yu Le stopped their chopsticks together and asked Chen Yingliang in surprise.
Chen Yingliang didn't answer, but also pointed to those vermilion round carved food boxes, and asked Zhao Cheng and Yu Le rhetorically: "Zhao Cheng, Yu Le, do you remember?" Three days ago, I went to Guangju Building with you to drink, when I almost knocked over the food box carried by the guy in Guangju Building, I vaguely remember that the food box in Guangju Building is rectangular, although it is vermilion but not carved, why is the food box sent by Guangju Building today completely different from three days ago? β
"Really? How come I don't remember? Zhao Cheng was a little puzzled.
"I remember, Brother Yingliang, you almost knocked over the food box at that time, but I grabbed you in time." Yu Le was more careful, and hurriedly said: "Yes, at that time, the guy from Guangjulou picked out the food box was indeed square, not round. β
"Square and round? What does it matter? Zhao Cheng asked in surprise.
"It's a big deal." Not long ago, Yang Xuangan was overshadowed by a wine and dish with special ingredients, Chen Yingliang was of course very sensitive to such a thing, and immediately ordered: "You go and bring a dog." β
Seeing Chen Yingliang's grim face, Zhao Cheng and Yu Le did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the order, and in a moment, a black dog was led to the room, Chen Yingliang took it personally, took some of the meals sent outside, mixed them into a plate to feed the dog, and patiently waited for the dog's reaction.
Outcome............
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After sending his henchmen to pretend to be a guy in the restaurant and send the wine and food boxes with special ingredients into the Wei Mansion, Li Xiuning did not leave in a hurry, and continued to stay near Chongwenfang to wait for news, and at the same time asked the family to closely monitor the movements of the Wei Mansion, and after half an hour, the Jia Ding who went to monitor the movements of the Wei Mansion rushed back and whispered next to Li Xiuning's carriage: "Young Lady Yu, a family member came out of the Wei Mansion and hurried to the direction of the imperial city. Also, the Wei Mansion suddenly closed its doors in broad daylight. β
"I must have gone to report to Wei Ziqi, and I got it." Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Let's go, withdraw all the family members and slaves, and let them go home separately by different paths." β
The family received the order and handed over Li Xiuning's order to the Chaifu family who disguised himself as a common man, and let more than a dozen Chaifu family members who had seen Chen Yingliang go home separately to avoid the limelight, while Li Xiuning ordered the carriage to go directly to the south, from the Qixia Gate out of the city and then to the main gate of Daxing, outside the Mingde Gate, and wait for the father-in-law and her husband to go out of the city to meet on the official road. But on the way, Li Xiuning did not have the slightest joy after killing people, and was still full of guilt in his heart, "Chen Yingliang, don't blame me, I know that our Chai family can't stand you, but you have hindered the future of my husband, and as my husband's wife, I must do so." β
"Also, the husband is also a good person, in addition to being a little too arrogant and powerful, he actually has a very good heart, he personally came to the door to withdraw from the marriage, because you are really not worthy of Qian'er's sister, according to the father-in-law's meaning, is to give you some money to drive you out of Daxing and it will be over, it is the husband who took the initiative to find an errand for you under my father's command, so that you will not freeze and starve to death outside, it is you who are too arrogant, so that you can lead the rest of the matter, and it is also you who go to others as a knife, which forces us to poison you. You ......, rest in peace, we will do things for you, so that you can be reincarnated into a good family in the next life. β
With extremely guilty thoughts, Li Xiuning's carriage went out of Qixiamen very smoothly, and also turned to the official road outside Mingde Gate, although there was still a period of time before noon, but both sides of the official road were already crowded with people, crowded with officials and people who came from all directions to see the excitement, Li Xiuning's carriage is close to the official road It is difficult, but Li Xiuning is not worried about not having a place, first asked the coachman to park the carriage, and then asked the family to find his brother who must have been here, and the result was not as Li Xiuning expected, The family quickly found the location of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin and others, and Li Xiuning got out of the car with the support of the maid and went to meet his brother.
What surprised Li Xiuning was that when she arrived at the scene by relying on her family, not only her three brothers were in a good position, but also Chai Qian, Yang Yuer and a pair of brothers and sisters known to Li Xiuning were also at the scene. β
"Sister Xiuning, you don't have to be so polite, just treat me as an ordinary person, just call me Yu'er." Yang Yu'er returned the salute very politely, replied in a low voice, and then asked with a smile: "Sister Xiuning, why are you only here now?" Come later, you won't be able to squeeze in here. β
"Some things are delayed, and I am a little late." Li Xiuning smiled and replied calmly, and asked curiously: "It's you, Yu'er, why are you interested in coming here today to see the excitement?" β
"I heard that the legendary Xiao Chen Qingzhi and the white-robed soldiers of the Eastern Capital are coming, so I want to come and see the excitement." Yang Yu'er smiled and replied truthfully, "I want to see what the legendary little Chen Qingzhi looks like, is it so heroic and extraordinary as in the legend, handsome and invincible?" β
"Heroic and extraordinary, born handsome and invincible?" Li Xiuning pretended to be surprised, and said with a smile: "How did I hear that little Chen Qingzhi was born with a blue face and fangs, three heads and six arms, and a height of eight feet, and he killed more than a dozen traitors with one slap?" β
Laughing, Li Xiuning turned to Li Er again, and said casually, seemingly unintentionally: "Erlang, that thing is done, it's very smooth, you don't have to worry." β
Li Er nodded quietly, and then quickly changed the topic and said: "Sister, about Xiao Chen Qingzhi, Sister Yu'er heard from a Liang Gongzi, that Liang Gongzi has seen Xiao Chen Qingzhi, and knows Sister Yu'er, we happened to meet three days ago, Liang Gongzi introduced Xiao Chen Qingzhi's situation to Sister Yu'er, and I was also present at the time, so I know." β
"Liang Gongzi?" Li Xiuning frowned slightly, and then said in surprise: "Could it be that Liang Gongzi who sent Qian'er back to Taipingfang two days ago." β
"Exactly." Li Er nodded, turned to Chai Qian and said with a smile: "Sister Qian'er, it's time to tell us, why did you happen to meet that Liang Gongzi that day, right?" β
"Sister Qian'er met with Liang Gongzi again?" Yang Yu'er, the only one who knew the truth, was a little stammering, and hurriedly asked Chai Qian: "Sister Qian'er, what's going on?" Tell me quickly...... Sister Qian'er, what are you looking at? Who are you looking for? β
"I ......, I ......, what's the matter?"
Yang Yu'er called several times, and Chai Qian, who was looking around, came back to her senses, and asked Yang Yu'er why she called herself? Yang Yu'er was a little confused, and asked again, "Qian'er, are you looking for someone?" Why are you so distracted? β
Hearing this question, Chai Qian, whose face was pale after recovering from her condition, suddenly turned slightly red, and quickly shook her head and said, "I didn't look for anyone, everyone I know is here, who else do I need to find?" I'm just still a little uncomfortable, so my mind wanders? β
"Really?" Yang Yu'er smiled slyly and asked, "Sister Qian'er, I heard that two days ago, it was Liang Gongzi who sent you home, and I honestly explained, how did you meet him?" β
Chai Qian's little face turned even redder, and she said a little shyly: "I happened to meet on the road, and it happened that I was sick by the cold rain, so he sent me home." β
"Really?" Yang Yu'er smiled like a little fox, and said in a weird manner: "It seems that I have to take the time to see Liang Gongzi again and ask him face to face what the situation was that day." β
Hearing Yang Yu'er's words, Chai Qian was suddenly very disappointed, and said in her heart: "You go and see you, he wants to see you too." β
"Okay, it seems that there is a chance to turn the conflict into a jade silk." Yang Yu'er applauded in her heart, and said with a smile: "I guessed who Sister Qian'er is looking for, it must be him, I'll help you find it." β
Saying that, Yang Yu'er really ran to the high place next to her, probing her brain to look for it, Chai Qian was ashamed, and hurriedly came up to pinch and pinch with her best friend, Yang Yu'er fought back, but during the fight, Yang Yu'er's cherry mouth suddenly opened up enough to stuff two eggs - because Yang Yu'er suddenly saw that Chen Yingliang, who was dressed like a dog, led two companions, and really appeared outside the crowd, and was looking around looking for someone!
"What's wrong with you?" Chai Qian found that her best friend's situation was wrong, and when she followed Yang Yuer's gaze, Chai Qian's small mouth also opened up all of a sudden, her face was feverish, her heart was beating wildly, and there was only one thought left in her mind, "How can it really be him?" What to do? What to do? β
At this time, Yang Yu'er had already come back to her senses, and seeing Chai Qian's shy appearance with a flushed face, Yang Yu'er couldn't help but smile, beckoned to a subordinate, and pointed to Chen Yingliang in the distance and ordered: "Go, call the boy who wears a cyan straight shirt and carries a horizontal knife, and says that the daughter of the Duke of Cheshire is here, and wants to see him, and invite him to come over to talk." β
Chai Qian pinched Yang Yu'er viciously, her pretty face was so red that she could fry eggs, but she didn't say anything against it.
On the other side, seeing Yang Yu'er and Chai Qian's small movements, a little girl who is only Xiao Lili at her age now, was a little inexplicable in her heart, and said secretly: "What are they doing?" β
