Chapter 155: Cousin-in-Law(1/2)
Korean government.
Front yard study.
"Found out?!"
Li Shanchang looked at his son who looked a little solemn and asked hesitantly.
In fact, although he hopes that his son can find out the villain who intends to murder him, he also hopes that everything Hu Fei said is not true, because the servants in the house have been following him for many years, and he does not hope that any of them will
He is the person with double intentions.
Furthermore, it would be a shame for his master to have a second mind among the people below.
"Found out."
Li Qi said, reaching out to pick up the book from his arms and placing it on the table in front of his father.
Li Shanchang hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly picked up the book and opened it slowly.
But soon, his face darkened and his brows furrowed. The more he looked, the darker his face became, and there was a trace of intolerable anger between his brows.
"It turns out it's really him!"
After a long time, Li Shanchang closed the book, threw it on the table, and said in a deep voice, with a face full of disappointment.
"It seems that he has abandoned his father a long time ago. I didn't expect that he hid so deeply. If it weren't for Hu Fei this time, we might never know that it was him who wanted to deal with you."
Li Qi also frowned and said angrily.
At the same time, he was also shocked by Hu Fei's fortune-telling skills. He originally thought that Hu Fei was being mysterious, but he didn't expect that he actually found someone with ulterior motives in the house.
"Where are the others?!"
Li Shanchang looked at his son and asked in a deep voice.
"I have already ordered someone to kidnap me, do you still want to see me?"
Li Qi hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.
"Now that things have happened, let's meet him. I would like to ask him why he did this!"
Li Shan took a long breath and said slowly.
Li Qi agreed, turned around and left the study.
Soon, Li Qi returned to the study with a man who was tied up and closed the door.
"Master, this slave realizes his mistake! Please spare my life for the sake of all these years!"
When the man saw the gloomy-looking Li Shanchang, he knelt on the ground with a look of remorse and panic.
This person is none other than the butler Lu Zhongqian!
"You still have the nerve to mention it after so many years?! I have thought that I have treated you well for so many years. Why do you want to make things out of thin air and list so many records that are unfavorable to me?!"
"Tell me, what do you want to do?! Who instigated you to do this?!"
Li Shanchang glared at Lu Zhongqian, asked angrily, and then threw the book on the table in front of Lu Zhongqian.
What is recorded in the book is about some words Li Shanchang said inadvertently over the years, as well as some details of his dealings with Hu Weiyong, but most of them are Lu Zhongqian's conjectures, with no real evidence.
However, once these things are obtained by someone who is interested, it will definitely be a serious crime for Li Shanchang, and it is likely to implicate the entire Li family.
"Master, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I hope you will be more generous and spare me this time. Don't worry, I will never appear in front of you again in this life!"
"I'll ruin it now!"
Lu Zhongqian said while crying, he bent down and started biting the book with his mouth, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"enough!"
"No matter whether someone instigated you to do this or not, what you did is unforgivable, but I can promise you that I will never implicate your family. As for you, I hope you will be a loyal person in your next life. Don't do it again.
Such ungratefulness and betrayal for glory!"
Li Shanchang scolded in a deep voice, waved his hand at Li Qi, and said weakly.
"Master, have mercy on me! Have mercy on me! Have mercy on..."
Lu Zhongqian wanted to continue begging for mercy, but before he could finish his words, Li Qi knocked him unconscious from behind.
Immediately afterwards, Li Qi opened the door and called two trustworthy servants in, picked up Lu Zhongqian, took out the black cloth bag that had been prepared long ago, and directly covered Lu Zhongqian's whole body.
"Sink in the river, don't let others see it."
Li Qi looked at the two people and said in a deep voice.
After listening to Li Qi's words, Li Shanchang frowned and hesitated to speak.
The matter has come to this, Lu Zhongqian must not stay, he is already kind enough.
The two servants nodded, holding Lu Zhongqian, who was wrapped in a black cloth bag, and quietly left the Korean government residence through the side door.
"Father, now that the matter has been resolved, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Li Qi looked at Li Shanchang who looked disappointed and said slowly.
"Go to the cashier's office and take some extra silver to give to his little girl. Think of a believable reason to convince his little girl."
Li Shanchang hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
"Yes, father."
Li Qi agreed and left slowly.
Li Shanchang sat on the chair, raised his head and sighed, then glanced at the book on the ground that Lu Zhongqian had bitten, slowly stood up, found a fire note, and burned the book directly.
After this incident, Li Shanchang felt beyond words his gratitude to Hu Fei. He finally truly regarded Hu Fei as his nephew and planned to repay this favor in the future.
...
Early the next morning.
Hu Mansion.
Linglong Court.
In the main hall, Hu Fei was having breakfast. Every night for the past two days, Xiao An would wake him up in the middle of the night and go out to torture him. The minimum time would be an hour, so that every time he came back, he would fall asleep. The next day, he would be tortured.
I felt very hungry just after dawn.
Just when Hu Fei was enjoying his meal, Pei Jie walked in quickly from outside.
"Master, Li Qi, the son of the Korean prince, is here. He asked to see the prince. He has prepared a generous gift and is waiting in the front yard."
Pei Jie cupped his hands and said respectfully.
Hearing Pei Jie's words, Hu Fei raised his eyebrows, and then a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
He knew that Li Qi's visit must be because he had found out the traitor in the house.
"Invite him to Linglong Garden."
Hu Fei smiled and said slowly.
Pei Jie agreed, turned and left.
"Li Qi, isn't that the consort?"
"Master, when did you get to know him? In addition to His Majesty, you have now gained the favor of the Crown Prince and King Yan, and now even the Prince Consort has come to visit in person."
Chundie, who was waiting for Hu Fei's meal, hesitated for a moment and said curiously.
"When did you talk so much? Don't imitate good things and imitate bad things."
Hu Fei glanced at Chundie and said pretending to be dissatisfied.
After hearing Hu Fei's accusation, Chundie stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Seeing Chundie's aggrieved look, Hu Fei couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
With Chundie like this, who can tell that she is a highly skilled warrior? This may be the reason why Hu Weiyong chose her to become a warrior.
Not long after, Pei Jie led someone from the front yard and came to the main hall.
This is the first time Hu Fei has met Li Qi, but he is not unfamiliar with this name. If he remembers correctly, this man is not only a good official, but also a man who dotes on his wife very much.
"Mr. Hu, I apologize for the intrusion. I didn't disturb your meal, right?"
As soon as Li Qi entered the main hall, he bowed his head slightly to Hu Fei with his hands raised, and said apologetically.
As a prince-in-law, not only did he not have the slightest airs, he also took the initiative to salute Hu Fei, an eighth-grade Tao Mo.
"Cousin, you are so polite. There is no need to be so polite between you and me. Besides, as my consort, how can I salute an eighth-grade Teruma like me?"
Hu Fei laughed, raised his hands and said.
"cousin?"
After hearing what Hu Fei said, Li Qi was stunned for a moment, with a confused look on his face.
"That's right, cousin, didn't you hear your father mention it? I have recognized my marriage to your father, and the Hu and Li families are considered related by marriage, so I call your father uncle. If this is the case, then I should call you cousin.
