Chapter 197: Intercession (Part II)
Li Rong left Gu's house, boarded the ox cart, sat in the car, was annoyed all the way, and sighed helplessly from time to time, not long after the ox cart had stopped, Li Rong was thinking about countermeasures, but he didn't know that the car had stopped, or the little guy who drove the car opened the curtain and called: "Lord Lang, it's here." ”
Hearing this call, Fang pulled Li Ei's thoughts back, but Li Ei didn't get out of the car, but said to the little guy: "Go to the Hou Mansion, I'll go to my nephew for something." ”
"Eh, yes," the little guy lowered the curtain, then turned around and drove to the Hou Mansion.
When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, the porter recognized Li Ei, so naturally he didn't block the way, and saluted respectfully, Li Ei only asked, "Bo Yu can be in the mansion?" ”
"Yes, the county marquis is here to take care of Xie in Yazhuyuan...... Take care of the lord of Hengyang. ”
The porter was afraid that Li Rong didn't know who Xie Niangzi was, so he specially said that he was the "Lord of Hengyang".
And Li Rong heard that Huan Ling was taking care of Xie Zheng, and his heart could be described as a hundred feelings, his nephew Boyu had a great friendship with the lord of Hengyang, he knew this, so he went around, it turned out that the troublemakers and the people who had accidents could barely be regarded as their own family!
It's just that I don't know if now that his daughter Yuanniang is in danger, can the county lord of Hengyang look at Boyu's face and open up to the Gu family, he also knows that Gu Xun will definitely die this time, so he doesn't expect anyone to save his "virtuous son-in-law".
"It's inconvenient for the old man to go to Yazhuyuan to disturb the county lord, you call someone to inform him, call Boyu over, and the old man is waiting for him in the front yard."
The porter agreed, and then said: "Then you go to the guest hall to sit for a while, and the villain will go and invite the county marquis to come over." ”
Li Rong nodded, and then walked to the guest hall, and the porter also hurriedly ran to Yazhuyuan, and when he walked outside the courtyard, he happened to see Yuzhi about to enter, and he hurriedly called Yuzhi to stop: "Yuzhi lady!" ”
Yuzhi was holding the decoction, stopped when he heard it, saw that it was the porter, and asked, "Who is here again?" ”
The porter walked up to her and said, "The lord of the foreign family is here, sit in the guest hall, and ask the county marquis to come over." ”
Yuzhi was in a hurry to send the medicine in, and when he heard that Li Rong was here, he didn't think much about it, and then turned around and walked into the courtyard, at that time Huan Ling was sitting next to Xie Zheng's bed, looking at Xie Zheng's face and contemplating, Yuzhi informed as soon as he entered the house: "County Marquis, the lord of the foreign family is here, calling you to the guest hall." ”
Uncle? Huan Ling was stunned for a moment, at this time Li Rong came to find him, he couldn't help but be a little distracted, could it be that his uncle came here to intercede for his virtuous son-in-law?
"I know, you feed the medicine quickly, I'll come when I go," Huan Ling stood up on the edge of the bed, and then walked outside the house, and when he arrived in the front yard, he saw Li Rong sitting in the guest hall from a distance, but it seemed that his butt was not hot, so he got up and paced back and forth in the hall.
Huan Ling stood not far from the guest hall, stopped and took a deep breath, and then continued to walk, and when he entered, he called: "Uncle." ”
Li Rong listened to the call, immediately turned around, and when he saw Huan Ling walking in, he also greeted him and said, "Ha, Boyu." ”
While speaking, Li Rong walked up to Huan Ling, did not forget to raise his hand and pat him on the shoulder, and said, "Why haven't you seen him for a few days, it seems to be a lot haggard?" ”
Huan Ling smiled and only replied: "Something happened to the county lord of Hengyang, and I was busy taking care of her, so I couldn't help but feel a little tired." ”
As he spoke, he naturally walked past Li Rong and walked inside, and then walked to the guest seat and sat down, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the guest seat opposite, and said with a smile: "Uncle sit down." ”
When Li Rong had already walked and sat down, Huan Ling immediately asked, "Uncle came over today, but is there anything wrong?" ”
Li Rong didn't seem to be able to speak, so he picked up the teacup on the side first, took a sip, and put the teacup down before saying, "I'm here today for your cousin's business." ”
He really didn't guess wrong, Huan Ling was also frank, and said bluntly: "Are you here for your cousin, or are you here for your cousin-in-law?" ”
Seeing that Huan Ling had already guessed his intention, Li Rong simply stopped beating around the bush, he laughed, and then said: "Alas, Boyu, I won't tell you, your uncle and I are really here for your cousin today." ”
Huan Ling took a sip of tea, listened to Li Rong quietly, and only listened to Li Rong say: "You also know that now your cousin-in-law Gu Xun has an accident, he sent someone to assassinate the county lord of Hengyang, this crime is not small, if he is convicted after seven days, he is innocent of death, but the Gu family will definitely suffer, your cousin is the wife of the Gu family, and he will inevitably be implicated." ”
"Yuan Niang is Gu Xun's wife, so if Gu Xun has an accident, she will inevitably be implicated, in fact, this is very easy to solve, as long as Yuan Niang and Gu Xun are reconciled, and the two of them have no name as husband and wife, then the affairs of the Gu family will naturally have nothing to do with her," Huan Ling didn't even think about it now, and opened his mouth to say it.
In fact, it wasn't that he came out of his mouth, since he learned that it was Gu Xun who sent someone to assassinate Xie Zheng in the morning, Huan Ling had already thought that his cousin would be affected because of his identity as the wife of the Gu family, so he had already thought of a way back for Li Yuanniang, but he had been busy taking care of Xie Zheng and had no time to discuss this matter with Li Rong.
After all, it was his cousin, and he wouldn't watch Li Yuanniang being implicated for no reason!
Li Rong sighed and said: "I also thought of the method you said, I went to the Gu family to find her, I have already told her about it, but this child just didn't listen, he didn't say that he was born as a member of the Gu family, and died as a ghost of the Gu family, he just refused to go with me, and I have no way now, so I came to find you." ”
Huan Ling guessed that Li Rong would inevitably ask him to intercede with Xie Zheng on behalf of Gu Xun, but he was unwilling, he pretended not to know what Li Rong was going to say, and only said: "Uncle is Yuan Niang's father, and I can't say that I can't move her, and I'm just her cousin, if I am asked to persuade her, I'm afraid it's even more useless......"
If he said that he wanted to ask his nephew to intercede with the county lord of Hengyang, Li Rong was not easy to speak, but for the sake of Yuan Niang, he could only say it stubbornly, hesitated, and Li Rong said: "I know, now if you want to ask Yuan Niang to leave the Gu family and leave with Gu Xun, it is impossible, but there is another way now, that is, to ask the county lord of Hengyang and beg her to ......."
Li Rong finally said this, Huan Ling, as a junior, is always difficult to refuse the elders, but he really can't agree to this matter, whether it is because of Gu Xun or the entire Gu family, he will never let go of this matter!
So before Li Rong finished speaking, Huan Ling had already interrupted, and he said: "Uncle, Gu Xun harmed Deyin like that, how can you ask me to intercede for him!" ”
As he spoke, he had already stood up, deliberately turning his back on Li Ei, so Li Ei also stood up and explained: "No, no, Boyu, I didn't ask you to ask the county lord of Hengyang to spare Gu Xun, that Gu Xun, he committed such a big crime, naturally he is innocent of death, and it is not worth my hard work for him, I only ask the county lord of Hengyang to let go of the Gu family, that's all." ”
"I also know the truth of 'one person does things and one person is responsible', but uncle," Huan Ling said this, before he turned to look at Li Ei, but stretched out his hand to point outside the guest hall, he looked at Li Ei, and continued: "He Gu Xun dared to be ruthless to Deyin, is the Gu family innocent?" ”
Huan Ling has always respected his elders, and today he had such a big fire, which made Li Rong stunned, and then heard Huan Ling say: "Deyin was not the first time that he was assassinated by the Gu family last night!" Killed a Gu Xun, there are still dozens of people in the Gu family, will they easily let Deyin go? Deyin has almost lost half of her life this time, this time she survived, but what about next time? Will she survive next time! ”
Li Rong also felt deeply guilty when he heard this, he never thought that he would marry his daughter into the den of tigers and wolves!
"Even though the people of the Gu family are extremely evil, what is wrong with Yuan Niang? Yuan Niang is innocent! Li Rong's eyebrows were tightly pressed between his words, and he almost crouched into the word "Sichuan".
Huan Ling put down his hand and turned his back to Li Rong again, for this cousin, he didn't know what to do now......
Li Rong walked up to him and said, "Boyu, Yuan Niang is your cousin, she is still trapped in the Gu family now, you can't stand by and watch!" Do you want to watch her being denied slavery, or even ...... Or even beheaded for public display? ”
Huan Ling is still silent, it's not that he deliberately keeps silent, it's really that he has nothing to say, why doesn't he want to save his cousin from getting out, now the only way is to ask her to reconcile with Gu Xun, but she is unwilling, is it difficult to snatch her out of the Gu family?
But even if she is snatched out of the Gu family, there is no official seal and a letter of departure, her identity is still the wife of the Gu family, if something really happens to the Gu family, she will inevitably be implicated!
And Li Rong saw that he was sitting idly by, his heart was sour, he actually put down his identity as an elder and begged him to invite, he grabbed Huan Ling's arm with both hands, and begged: "Boyu, my uncle thinks that he has never begged anyone, but today for Yuan Niang, my uncle really begs you!" Please, you must save Yuan Niang! ”
After he said that, he wanted to bend his knees to kneel down for Huan Ling, but Huan Ling hurriedly supported him and did not allow him to kneel on the ground, only said: "Uncle, it's not that I refuse to save Yuan Niang, it's really ...... There's really nothing I can do to save her! Not to mention that Deyin is still in a coma now, even if she wakes up and I go to intercede with her, she may not agree, uncle must know that Deyin has always been happy to enmity and hatred, and the Gu family has harmed her like that, how can she not care? ”
Li Rong originally thought that as long as he could say that Huan Ling interceded with Xie Zheng, there would be hope for the Gu family's affairs, but he never thought that Huan Ling was not sure that he could impress Xie Zheng, but now there was no hope at all, he was in a hurry for a while, so he took two steps back and sat down on the guest seat next to him.
Huan Ling saw that he almost fell, and hurriedly approached to help, Li Rong was so anxious that he was covered with sweat, and then he shed tears again, and said distractedly: "What should I do with Yuan Niang...... She refused to leave the Gu family, and now she can't exempt the Gu family from punishment, do I want to watch my daughter suffer with their family...... My Yuan Niang is only 17 years old this year! It's a good age, she's still a child......"
"Uncle......" Huan Ling called him softly, hoping to give him some comfort, but he didn't want Li Rong to cry out again this time, hugged Huan Ling, buried his face in his shoulder, and said, "Yuan Niang...... My mother...... She's my sweetheart! How could a child marry the Gu family...... If she has something long and short, how can I be worthy of your dead aunt......"
Huan Ling gently patted Li Rong's back, and was a little overwhelmed for a while, so he had to comfort him first, so he said: "Uncle, Yuan Niang's matter, you can rest assured, I will try my best to help, and when Deyin wakes up, I will go to beg her, if she doesn't agree, then I will kneel down and beg her, and beg until she agrees." ”
At present, Li Yuanniang insists on refusing to reconcile with Gu Xun, she and the Gu family are grasshoppers on a rope, if you want to save her, you must also save all the Gu family, just to save Li Yuanniang alone, Huan Ling has no way, but he has no way, Xie Zheng may not have it, Huan Ling and first agreed to Li Rong, the rest of the things, if Xie Zheng is willing to help, naturally everyone is happy, if Xie Zheng is unwilling to help, then he can't help, but I don't know, when Xie Zheng will wake up......
Li Rong also hugged Huan Ling and cried loudly, as soon as he heard Huan Ling say this, the cry immediately stopped, he let go of Huan Ling, sat up straight, and asked, "Really?" Are you really willing to ask the county lord of Hengyang to save Yuan Niang? ”
"If you want to save the Gu family, although I can't do it, if you want to save Yuan Niang, I will do my best,"
After Huan Ling finished speaking, Li Rong cried like a child again and said, "I can't do my best...... You can't do your best......"
"Okay, okay, I'll do my best to save her, that's all right," Huan Ling also coaxed Li Rong like a child, and Li Rong immediately stopped crying, nodded with relief, and said, "Then ...... Excuse me,"
Huan Ling sneered: "It's all my own business, uncle doesn't have to be polite, I don't see that it's too early, or uncle will go back and wait for news first?" ”
Li Rong nodded again, and Huan Ling carried him to the gate of the mansion, sent him to the ox cart, and saw that the cart had gone away, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
When he turned back to the house, he hurried to Yazhuyuan, but before he could get there, he saw the maid running out in a hurry and shouting: "County Marquis! Xie Niangzi is awake! Xie Niangzi is awake! ”
Huan Ling was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and immediately ran to Yazhuyuan and rushed into Xie Zheng's house, and saw Tao Hongjing sitting on the edge of the bed to check Xie Zheng's pulse, while Yuzhi and another maid were holding tea and a spittoon, obviously Xie Zheng was rinsing his mouth.
"Deyin!"
Huan Ling's face was full of joy, and he walked to the bedside, and also heard Xie Zheng's weak call: "County marquis." ”
The voice was extremely soft, but Huan Ling listened to this call, but he didn't know how happy he was in his heart.
Looking down and suddenly seeing a pool of blood on the ground, Huan Ling knew why Xie Zheng was in a hurry to rinse his mouth as soon as he woke up, "What's wrong?" Yes? ”
Tao Hongjing stood up and replied: "The county lord received that palm, and there was a stasis on his chest, and now he spit out the blood stasis, naturally it will be fine, for now, he just needs to recuperate, and when the wound heals, he will recover." ”
Huan Ling was relieved when he heard this, and he hurriedly thanked Tao Hongjing: "There is an order from Doctor Lao." ”
"The county marquis is polite, although the county lord has woken up now, but the county lord's injury, the lower officials still need to observe for a few days......" Tao Hongjing was about to mention the matter of continuing to live in the Hou Mansion temporarily, but before he finished speaking, Huan Ling said happily: "It's okay, stay a few more days." ”
Tao Hongjing nodded in agreement with a smile, and then said, "That... The lower officials will report the happy event to His Majesty in the palace, so that His Majesty can rest assured. ”
"Okay," Huan Ling immediately looked at Yuzhi and ordered: "Yuzhi, tell them to prepare an ox cart and take the imperial doctor's order into the palace." ”
Yuzhi agreed, and led Tao Hongjing out, Tao Hongjing was not at ease when he left, and asked the accompanying medical woman to stay in the East Cross Courtyard and listen to Xie Zheng's orders at any time.
After everyone in the house had gone out, Huan Ling sat down peacefully, held Xie Zheng's hand tightly, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "You scared me to death!" ”
Unbeknownst to him, Xie Zheng frowned, and said in a very low voice: "It hurts ......"
Huan Ling was startled and hurriedly asked, "Where does it hurt?" ”
"Hand ...... hurt"
Huan Ling was stunned for a moment at first, thinking about how Xie Zheng's hand could be painful if he didn't have any injuries, and then he reacted, hurriedly let go of his hand, and explained: "I didn't mean to......"
Xie Zheng didn't bother to talk about him, just looked at him quietly, and said, "I seem to have seen it just now...... Black and white are impermanent, they want to fight for my life, but I ...... The revenge has not been avenged, and I dare not compare ...... I died before those people, so I'm back. ”
After hearing this, Huan Ling was silent at first, and suddenly asked for a long time: "Then, apart from the revenge, what else is there?" ”
Xie Zheng naturally knew what he was going to say, so he just smiled, then turned his head slightly to the inside of his face, and there seemed to be some blood on his pale cheeks, which turned out to be red.
