Chapter 242: Counterattack
At this time, the tea and painting brought the meal, Li Zhuohang and his wife accompanied Murong Xing, and ate the meal silently, several girls removed the leftover soup and bowls, and even Jiang Yuzhen also withdrew, guarding outside, leaving his mother and son to talk alone.
The two fell silent again.
Li Zhuohang pondered for a long time before asking: "Layman...... Prepared? ”
Murong Xing nodded and said, "Yes." ”
She beckoned to Li Zhuohang.
This is to let Li Zhuohang pass.
Li Zhuohang hesitated, got up and stepped forward, and stood still in front of her.
Murong Xing motioned for him to bow his head again.
Li Zhuohang slowly lowered his head.
Murong Xing whispered something to him.
Li Zhuohang lowered his eyes first, uncomfortable, and didn't dare to look at her; As she spoke, he was surprised and couldn't help but raise his eyes to stare into her eyes.
It's a pair of warm eyes.
It seems that there are no waves in the ancient well, warm in winter and cool in summer.
Jiang Yuzhen said that when she saw Murong Xing for the first time, she felt that his eyebrows and eyes were very familiar, and later realized that it turned out to be like Li Zhuohang.
Now, the mother and son are close at hand, and suddenly those uncomforts have disappeared, and they are very close to each other, because they are connected by blood; It is very estranged, so alienated that only the blood is left to maintain, and it is indifferent and quiet.
Li Zhuohang said softly: "Thank you, layman." ”
Murong Xing said again: "Jian Fan, this person, the city is extremely deep. You have to be careful. ”
Li Zhuohang said: "Yes." ”
Murong Xing told him how the Murong family mastered Jian Fan's lifeline, as well as the handles and incriminating evidence of some other court officials.
Back then, Li Zhuoran made such a fuss, and Murong Xing's matter spread, causing Pan Meilin to be jealous. Murong Xing had a cousin who married in the Pan family, and when he heard some rumors, he told Murong Xing. Murong Xing knew Pan Meilin's temperament, and what he said was persistent and affectionate, and what he said badly was paranoid, so he became vigilant.
She was afraid that Pan Meilin would be unfavorable to the Li family.
How can you prepare for it?
Murong Xing met Mrs. Jian and Mrs. Jian at the Ningbo wharf, and was entrusted to sell a batch of porcelain and silk overseas for them.
The Jian family is an official eunuch and does not buy and sell, and the origin of these goods is unknown, so they dare not sell them in the Dajing market, and they are clearly stolen goods.
Murong Xing pretended not to know and agreed.
On the return trip the following year, he brought salt goods for Jane's family.
Later, Old Lady Jian introduced several orders to the Murong family, and the backs were all court officials, and Murong Xing controlled the evidence of these people's crimes.
With her friendship with Old Madam Jian, she didn't target Jian Fan, and she didn't want to harm anyone, but she was just to guard against Pan Meilin, thinking that she might be able to use it.
As a result, Pan Meilin attacked the Li family, but without waiting for Murong Xing to help, Li Hanyao fought back with thunder, forcing Pan Meilin and Chen Fei to commit suicide.
Murong Xing didn't show up, wanting Li Hanyao to have more experience.
Then there was the holy decree to recruit Li Hanyao into the palace and Li Hanyao disappeared...... A series of events overwhelmed Murong Xing, and he didn't know the inside story, so he didn't dare to interfere indiscriminately, but when he heard that Li Zhuohang was back, he hurriedly asked him to meet to see if he might be able to help.
Unfortunately, Li Zhuohang went to Huizhou Mansion.
Only then did I go into the mountains.
Li Zhuohang also told Murong Xing that Li Hanyao was fine.
Murong Xing's eyes moved slightly, and his heart was at ease.
She couldn't help but smile and said, "Go ahead." I'm going to sleep too. ”
As long as Li Zhuohang's father and daughter are safe, she will be at ease, and she doesn't need Li Zhuohang to be around. In this house, she always felt that Mrs. Li was still there, and she was looking at her. It is no longer appropriate for her to come here rashly, and it is even more inappropriate to be close to Li Zhuohang.
Li Zhuohang said: "Yes." ”
He already had insight into Murong Xing's thoughts, and he no longer bothered about how to treat Murong Xing, knowing that she didn't care about this, she just wanted peace of mind.
I was born without a hometown, and peace of mind is a place to belong.
Li Zhuohang walked out, stood in the patio and looked up at the starry sky, since Yan Ji's death, his depressed mood has been empty, as deep as the starry sky.
Early the next morning, Murong Xing left.
Jian Fan continued to track down Li Hanyao's news in Yuezhuang, but he did not allow the officers and soldiers to harass the people of Yuezhuang, and the things that were taken from Li's family were also ordered to be returned.
This is all for Li Zhuohang to see.
In his heart, he was planning all the time, how to knock out the sword hanging over Murong Xing's head, otherwise it would be difficult to sleep.
Did you kill Murong Xing and Li Zhuohang?
The killing machine was on the horizon in his heart.
He began to envision the possibility of implementation.
While deliberating on the details and consequences of the implementation, he noticed a problem and was terrified: the officers and soldiers sent into the mountain had no news and had lost contact!
He ordered someone to call Li Zhuohang to come, stared at him and asked sternly, "Mr. Hua, what about them?" What about those officers and soldiers? ”
Li Zhuohang replied: "In the mountains." ”
Jian Fan asked in surprise, "You killed them?" ”
Li Zhuohang said: "Adults think too much. As long as the Li family is safe and Yuezhuang is safe, those officers and soldiers will naturally be safe. "The implication is that if Jian Fan is not good for the Li family, then a thousand officers and soldiers and Commander Liao of Mr. Hua will not want to live.
This is an admission that he has done something to the officers and soldiers.
Jian Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Li Zhuohang, you are so bold, if you want to blackmail your own officials, how do you end up with the officers and soldiers?" ”
Li Zhuohang bowed and said: "This is going to bother adults." ”
Jian Fan tried his best to endure it so that his expression would not collapse-Li Zhuohang was blackmailing him to the end?! What makes him unbearable the most is that Li Zhuohang does not have the face of a villain at all, nor is he aggressive, in the face of him, he is calm and unhurried, and he looks like a Confucian businessman who makes money with his temperament and wealth, with the qi cultivation kung fu he has cultivated in the officialdom for 20 years, he can almost not maintain the official authority of the second-grade master.
No wonder Yan Ji and Li Zhuohang are close friends.
Jian Fan said: "What if the official doesn't agree? ”
Li Zhuohang said: "The adults will agree." ”
Simplified and Traditional: "......"
He couldn't help but clench his fists.
Li Zhuohang said again: "My lord is angry. The ants still spare their lives, and the small people are all for self-protection, not for adults. ”
Jian Fan gritted his teeth and said: "It's so threatening, and you still say that it's not targeted?" If you do this, you have trapped your own official in a catastrophe! ”
Li Zhuohang said: "Although the layman has saved the old lady, the lord is also kind to my Li family. Chen Fei framed the Li family, if it weren't for the impartiality of the adults, my Li family would have been doomed at that time. Why do small people want to harm adults? ”
Jian Fan said: "Do you really think so? ”
Li Zhuohang said: "There is no lie. ”
Jian Fan asked, "What about Yan Ji?" ”
Li Zhuohang said gloomily: "Lord Yan's death, if you say that there is no resentment in the hearts of the people, it is a lie, but calm down and think about it, the lord is a minister, how dare a minister disobey the holy decree?" If you want to complain, you shouldn't complain about adults. ”
Jian Fan said: "How can this official believe you?" ”
Li Zhuohang said: "The adult's disposal of Lord Yan is to act on orders, and the small people are rushing into the adult to protect themselves, so they have no choice but to do so." If Xiaomin retaliates against the Jian family, Bai Shu will not be a mortal enemy, and the Murong family will not be able to escape from it. How could the people do such stupid things that harm others and themselves? In the same way, adults should not do things absolutely that they will not benefit themselves. The world is like a chess game, changing rapidly, and adults should understand this truth. ”
Jian Fan's tone softened a little, and he scolded in a low voice: "Since you understand, why do you dare to attack the officers and soldiers?" How does this end? ”
Li Zhuohang said: "With the experience of an adult as an official, it is not difficult to get through. ”
Jian Fan naturally won't be so easily impressed by Li Zhuohang, but whether it is officialdom or shopping malls, there are no eternal enemies or permanent friends, and now he and Li Zhuohang are restraining each other, so they can only shake hands and make peace.
He said, "Then you have to listen to your own officials." ”
Li Zhuohang said: "What do you mean? ”
Jian Fan said: "This official will continue to investigate." Then ......" He whispered something to Li Zhuohang, and Li Zhuohang couldn't help but bow his head.
After that, Jian Fan still searched for Li Hanyao's whereabouts with great fanfare, and led people to send grain and grass into the mountain with his personal guards to the officers and soldiers who entered the mountain before, but the people of Yuezhuang privately spread the rumor: Li Hanyao is afraid that he is really dead.
Although Li Zhuoyuan felt that Jian Fan's behavior was strange, his knowledge was limited, and he only dared to do things because Jian Fan didn't find Li Hanyao. He and Jian Fan's interests are the same, and he vows to help Jian Mao find Li Hanyao.
Li Zhuohang watched coldly as Li Zhuoyuan was busy drilling the camp all day long, this is not a robbery, this is to kill his father and daughter, and to kill all the branches! He couldn't bear to do anything to his clansmen, and no matter how much he wanted to accumulate virtue and do good, his heart was cold.
Wang Yan and Zhang Jinyan also came to Yuezhuang.
