Chapter 59 This Idiot
Chapter 59
When Zhao Wenkuan arrived at Xie's Mansion, it was already close to Haishi, the second watch, and Xie Mingtang was ready to go to bed. He was surprised to receive a visit from Zhao Wenkuan late at night, but he still invited him in.
As soon as Zhao Wenkuan saw Xie Mingtang, he knelt down in tears and said, "Cousin Ming, you must make the decision for me this time."
Xie Mingtang was startled and quickly stretched out his hand to help him up, "Wen Kuan, if you have something to say, please say it properly. There is no need to be like this."
Xie Mingtang couldn't help him, so he knew that the matter was not trivial, but he still had to have the proper attitude, "Don't worry, our Xie and Zhao families are now in-laws, and I will definitely help if I can."
Zhao Wenkuan was helped up by him.
After the two parties sat down respectively, Xie Mingtang asked with concern, "What happened to make you so rude?"
"Cousin Ming, the Lu family has gone too far..."
More than half an hour later, Xie Mingtang sent away Zhao Wenkuan, who had calmed down.
He thought for a while and ordered his servants to call his eldest son Xie Zhan.
When Xie Mingtang's chief attendant came to Xie Zhan's yard, it was already midnight. He was very fond of reading at night and was ready to wash up and then go to bed.
When his father summoned him, Xie Zhan didn't waste any time. He put on his robe and tied it before heading to his father's study.
As soon as Xie Mingtang saw him, he said, "Azhan, something happened!"
"What happened?" Xie Zhan looked serious. His father called him over late at night. It must be something serious. His mind was spinning rapidly. Which person in the Xie family was responsible for which part of the Xie family and which link was most likely to go wrong? And then how to deal with it?
Xie Mingtang knew at a glance that he had misunderstood, and quickly said, "It's not that something happened to the Xie family, but something happened to the Zhao family."
"What happened to the Zhao family?"
Xie Mingtang's expression was a bit unusual, "Zhao Bin had one of his legs broken. He was brought back by an old farmer outside Chang'an City. The person who did it was too cruel. His leg was beaten to pieces. He has been to the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor said that his leg is considered useless, and even if he is treated, it will be difficult for him to walk. "
Zhao Bin? It was him who was in trouble. Zhao Bin will be his brother-in-law in the future. He has a general understanding of the basic situation. He is currently serving in the Three Thousand Battalion outside the city and is a sixth-grade Martial Cavalry Lieutenant. He is quite optimistic about the person and is very optimistic about his future. There is also a certain plan for the promotion direction. Unexpectedly, such a big thing happened to him, and he will be useless from now on. Some layouts have to be changed accordingly.
"Do you know who did it?" He had to know who ruined his plan.
Xie Mingtang looked at him with meaningful eyes.
Xie Zhan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, "Is it the Lu family who did it? Lu Songli?"
"And Qin Sheng."
Xie Zhan was shocked, it was really her!
Lu Songli is so brave. Now the Zhao family and the Lu family are fighting to the death.
"The Zhao family plans to sue the emperor?" Xie Zhan asked after pondering for a moment.
Xie Mingtang shook his head.
Xie Zhan was surprised. The Zhao family had suffered such a big loss, but they were willing to swallow it? Is there something else inside that he doesn't know about? After all, the Zhao family is willing to let go of such a good reason to deal with Lu Desheng?
He recalled the conversation between father and son, and suddenly asked, "When and where did Zhao Bin meet Lu Songli?" Why did the two of them have such a big conflict? Lu Songli didn't seem to be such a waiter. Brain people. After the banquet in the Queen Mother's Palace, Xie Zhan realized that his ex-fiancée Lu Songli was by no means as quiet and dull as he had previously thought. She would never provoke such a big conflict for no reason.
His father's next words confirmed his suspicion.
"Zhao Bin started this matter first. Lu Songli left the city early this morning and went to Ping'an Town. Zhao Bin set an ambush for her on the way back. She noticed it in advance. Then she joined forces with Qin Sheng to kill Zhao Bin with a backhand. ”
It was him who started it, Xie Zhan guessed it, but this reason was not enough, "Is there anything else?"
Xie Mingtang hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhao Bin was given three deadly drugs by them. In addition to him, the people he brought were also given the same drug, and then... that drug was brought by Zhao Bin "Because Zhao Bin's legs were broken and he had no mobility, he couldn't run away and was beaten by several servants. It is said that his back was cracked.
Killing is heartbreaking. This method is outrageous! At such an old age, he couldn't bear to hear this. Too bad.
Needless to say, he could already predict what would happen next. Xie Zhan closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, there was a coldness in his eyes, "This idiot has been plotted against someone."
This early in the morning, the principals of the Xie, Lu, and Zhao families were all busy with chores arising from the marriage granted by the Queen Mother. It turned out that Lu Songli had not come to the Xie family in person, so she might have prepared such a big gift for Zhao Bin, but Zhao Bin Bin thought he had a plan.
Xie Mingtang nodded, "Yes, I heard from Zhao Bin that the instigator of all this happened to him was not Qin Sheng, but Lu Songli. Tell me, how could she, a woman, be so cruel? She is also cruel." The woman is cruel. Get up, there is really nothing wrong with a man.
Xie Zhanxin said, guessed it.
"Zhao Bin hated them."
Xie Zhan thought to himself, so what if Zhao Bin hates him? It's too late for the Zhao family to cover up what happened to him, including himself, who probably means the same thing. If he got into trouble with the emperor, he wouldn't have to be a human being anymore, and his whole life would be ruined. Although it is said that because the leg is disabled, it is estimated that this life will be... but at least there is still some hope for now, what if one day I meet a miracle doctor?
Zhao Bin is really a fool. Why did he provoke Lu Songli at this time? Outsiders don't know the twists and turns here, but don't his own people know it? Xie Zhan felt sorry for him and thought he deserved it.
If Lu Songli knew Xie Zhan's thoughts at this time, she would definitely agree with him, so this person should not be so ungrateful. She didn't take his life, but just gave him a taste of his own medicine. By the way, she collected some interest, which was already very kind.
Xie Zhan was also very annoyed with Zhao Bin at this time. It didn't matter that he was abolished, but it also messed up his layout.
In the Great Li Dynasty, there was a natural gap between civil officials and military generals. The Zhao family was a family of civil officials. Zhao Bin was able to enter the three thousand camps outside the city at a young age and serve as a sixth-rank military cavalry captain, and there was no lack of support from the Qin family.
Zhao Bin occupied a very key position in his layout, but now? Zhao Bin has become a useless chess piece. If Zhao Bin could be used to abolish the Lu family, it would be a good deal, but the Lu family might not have no backup plan, which makes people in a dilemma.
"The problem we are facing now is how to help Zhao Wenkuan get back on his feet when he asks for help." In fact, when Xie Mingtang learned about the whole thing from Zhao Wenkuan just now, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He was shocked and had a faint regret. After experiencing the incident of breaking off the engagement and changing husbands, they could feel that Lu Songli had obviously transformed. Every time she made progress and transformation, it was because they pushed her actively or passively. Thinking about it this way, it felt like it was because of them that she became successful, and then everything was not good.
But this emotion was quickly suppressed by him. When a politician faces a choice, he should think twice before acting, but once he makes a choice, he should avoid being indecisive. What they need to do most now is to look forward.
