Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Li Family's Dilemma
"Childe, I think the Li family is probably out of trouble this time." In the guest room of the Li Mansion, Li Xin sat behind the desk, looking at the various books collected by the Li Mansion, although there was no military book strategy or anything like that, but the general Confucian and Taoist classics could still be seen, and Li Xin looked very relaxed. However, Duan Qi said hesitantly on the side.
"yes!" Li Xin nodded, put down the book in his hand, looked at Duan Qi and said: "Although Li Jiancheng is very natural on the surface, there is still a melancholy between his eyebrows, this time Tang Guogong encountered a lot of difficulties this time!" It's a little hard to get through. ”
"Childe, what should we do then?" Duan Qi said with some concern.
"Don't worry, Tang Guogong is only temporarily in crisis. If the Li family needs it, we will take action, if it is not necessary, we will wait. Li Xin thought for a while and said: "However, we can't wait here, we still have some money on us, and tomorrow we will go outside the city to find a house and barely settle down." ”
"Yes." Duan Qi nodded, he came to listen to Li Xin's dispatch on the order of Duan Kuan, his own brain, so he naturally listened to Li Xin's words.
And at this time, in Li Jiancheng's study, the brothers and sisters of the Li family were sad, even Li Shimin's face was also worried, in the past, Li Yuan was in charge of all the big and small things of the Li family, although Li Jiancheng was in charge of one side, but he had never encountered a big wind and rain, and now at this time, all of a sudden, something big happened to his own Lao Tzu and he was thrown into prison. Li Jiancheng suddenly found that everything around him had changed, and those Guanlong families who were originally good friends with his family had also become blurred, while other families such as Yuwen, Yin Shi, and Wei's were all attacking the Li family openly and secretly, and they couldn't wait for the opportunity to eat the Li family cleanly.
"Sanniang is very good this time, not only can she find evidence of the Yuwen family's collusion with the Turks, but she can also bring a fierce general like Li Xin. When my father is released from prison, I will definitely be happy in my heart. Li Jiancheng looked at his younger brothers and sisters, his face moved, and he said with a smile.
"Big brother, let's find a way to get my father out! Those guys from the Yin family and the Wei family are really hateful, but recently they have been bullied to our family, and many shops have lost a lot. As soon as Li Yuanji heard Li Xin's name, his face was gloomy, and he hurriedly urged.
"Yuanji, you can't say that. One more person always has more strength, not to mention that Li Xin's force can suppress Yuwen Chengdu, even if other families want to make any moves, they have to weigh it. Li Shimin said dissatisfied.
"That's for the future, what now?" Li Yuanji said disdainfully.
"It's a pity that the family doesn't have enough money." Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Xiuning, and sighed slightly: "Yu Shiji is the most hateful, and the asking price is too high. Although the Li family has some property, it cannot meet Yu Shiji's requirements. ”
Li Xiuning's face changed when he heard this, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and stopped talking. His eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he was thinking. However, Li Yuanji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Third sister, it's better to go to Brother Chai, the Chai family has countless assets, and they can definitely use a little silver to bribe Yu Shiji." Third sister, you won't let your father stay in prison, right? ”
"Is Yu Shiji really okay? Don't forget it, it's the emperor who offended my father, and it's the trap behind the back of the Yuwen family. Li Xiuning hesitated for a moment and said, "Big brother, can you think of another way, maybe you don't need to go to the Chai family, and you can save your father." If it really doesn't work, it's not too late to think about it. ”
"Third sister, why are you like this?" Li Yuanji was a little reluctant when he heard this.
"Yuanji, don't say it." Li Jiancheng frowned and glanced at Li Yuanji dissatisfied, Li Shimin also glanced at the other party, and Li Yuanji, who was frightened, could only lower his head and muttered for a while.
"Hey! So be it! If it really doesn't work, I will definitely go to Chai Shao. Li Xiuning also felt bad, so she could only sigh slightly, if she could, she really didn't want to see Chai Shao.
Li Jiancheng nodded, and did not force Li Xiuning, his father intended to marry Li Xiuning to Chai Shao, but Li Xiuning was not interested in Chai Shao, and even had a trace of dislike. In fact, getting rid of Li Yuanji, that is, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin did not have a good impression of Chai Shao. To put it thoroughly, it is because Chai Shao is a businessman. No matter how rich a businessman is, he is still a businessman.
Li Xiuning stood up, ignored the three brothers, walked out of the study, walked along the road, his eyes were stunned, he didn't even know the direction he was walking, and when he found out, he found that he had appeared in the guest room unconsciously. A candlelight was still shining in one of the windows, and a tall figure sat there.
"Brother Li!" Li Xiuning's eyes flickered, and Li Xin's calm face flashed in his mind, as if no matter what happened, the expression on Li Xin's face was the same.
"Miss Li." The door opened, but Duan Qi arched his hand towards Li Xiuning and said, "But you're looking for your son?" ”
"Brother Li hasn't rested yet?" Li Xiuning's face flushed, and she couldn't help but say, "I'm just walking around." I didn't expect to come here. Although he was a little shy, he still entered Li Xin's room, and Duan Qi cautiously retreated.
"Miss Li." Li Xin smiled and made a gesture of please, and said, "What? Tang Guogong's affairs are very difficult? ”
"Hmm!" Li Xiuning nodded and said, "The main thing is that His Majesty the Emperor personally decreed it, and the old thief Yuwen intervened in the back. Father was fooled this time. Some time ago, the emperor summoned the county orders of the world and the assassin history to come to the audience, but half of them did not come, the emperor was very angry, and his father said that the world was in chaos, so there were very few people who came, and the emperor was relieved to recuperate, and he did not take the opportunity to crusade against Goguryeo, but he did not expect Yuwenshu to take the opportunity to enter the slander, and the emperor was angry and put his father in prison. ”
Li Xin nodded, Li Yuan is no wonder about this matter, the situation in the world itself is like this, Yang Guang is a stubborn and self-serving character, he can't listen to the slightest opinion, in his opinion, his own hard work, the world should be peaceful, how can it be like this. Li Yuan's words were a slap in the face, and Yu Wenshu saw that it was clear, how could he not take the opportunity to calculate Li Yuan.
"I heard that the two favorite ministers around His Majesty the Emperor, Yu Wenshu and Yu Shiji, I don't know, but it's true?" Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Since Yuwenshu has already made a move, why not ask Yu Shiji to make a move?" Yu Shiji has good money, it's a big deal to send some. ”
"Yu Shiji has a great taste." Li Xiuning said with some sighs: "Although the Li family has some savings, it can't satisfy Yu Shiji, and other families are also eyeing each other, how can it make the Li family's affairs take a turn for the better?" ”
