Chapter 167 The Upright Boy
"Sister! I told you, I only want Qiluo! I don't like any other woman in the world."
Cui Liyan's voice sounded a little impatient.
Fortunately, this courtyard only belongs to Cui Wanwan. Otherwise, if the Cui family elders knew that Cui Liyan had such thoughts, they would not have broken his legs directly.
In fact, as the legitimate son of the Cui family, Cui Liyan has the right to choose his spouse, but there is a prerequisite: he must be a good match!
"Miss Qiluo is just a maid. I heard she is aggressive and aggressive. How could such a woman get into our Cui family?"
Standing in the elegant pavilion, Cui Wanwan casually threw some fish food into the pond, which attracted dozens of koi carp to fight for it. Cui Wanwan was quiet and graceful.
Aren’t they, the children of aristocratic families, the same as these koi?
You don’t have to worry about food, and your life is worry-free. But you are trapped in one pool and one place, and you cannot control your own destiny.
Cui Liyan snatched the fish food from Cui Wanwan's hand, threw it all into the pond, and shouted dissatisfied: "That's why I want your help, sister. If you have the leisure to feed the fish, you might as well come up with a solution for me!"
"
Cui Wanwan shook her head and said regretfully: "My grandfather and father will definitely not agree to this marriage. Even if your wife is not a girl from the Qiwang family of the fifth surname, she must at least be the legitimate daughter of a prince or an important minister in the court."
Cui Liyan said angrily: "Why! Why should those stubborn old men decide my marriage?"
"Being angry won't solve anything. Do you think these koi are happy?"
Cui Wanwan said thoughtfully.
Cui Liyan said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense! Each one is only fed to the size of its own body."
Cui Wanwan knelt down, grabbed one of them and threw it on the shore: "But this happiness is actually obtained in exchange for freedom. If you eat the fish food I feed, your life will be under my control."
Cui Liyan was not a stupid person and looked embarrassed.
Everything he had was given by the Cui family.
Without the backing of the Cui family, how could he have enough food and clothing and act as he pleased?
After eating the food of the Cui family, your life is no longer your own.
Cui Wanwan sighed: "Just because your surname is Cui, you have to make sacrifices for the Cui family. Stop making trouble, you should know the temper of your grandfather. If you continue to make trouble, you will be imprisoned at most, but that girl will be in danger."
"
This is not alarmist.
Rich families have many tricks to make some less important people disappear from the world.
The only way out for the children of aristocratic families is marriage. Unless...
Cui Liyan looked lonely, but he was a young man after all, so he still wanted to give it a try. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, are you willing?"
"This is fate."
Cui Wanwan sighed.
If she is a prostitute, what can she do?
What's more, there are lessons to be learned from the past.
Cui Liyan ignited his fighting spirit: "Is there really no way out? I don't believe it!"
"Unless you can become a [Third Grade] strong person."
Cui Wanwan smiled when she saw her brother's unwillingness to admit defeat.
Cui Liyan immediately wilted like a defeated rooster.
This is also a dead end.
Even if he has such talent, he must be given enough time. By the time he reaches the third level, he will probably be in his seventies or eighty, and the day lily will be cold.
Cui Liyan started cheating: "I don't care anyway, I will marry her in this life. Sister, please find a way for me. You are my biological sister, you can't see me living a depressed life, right?"
Cui Wanwan turned her eyes and asked, "Do you still remember our eldest aunt?"
Cui Liyan said blankly: "Auntie?"
Cui Wanwan nodded: "Aunt Cui Yunyun. It's normal if you don't remember. You and I were not even born when she died..."
"What happened to my eldest aunt back then, and why did the elders in the family keep silent about it?"
Cui Liyan became interested.
I heard that the eldest aunt's matter was a big deal back then, but the elders in the family were in tacit understanding and never mentioned it to the younger generation. This also caused him to almost forget that he had an eldest aunt, Cui Yunyun, who died young.
Cui Wanwan knew this secret, so she eloquently said: "She was just like you at the beginning. She disobeyed the family's arrangements and actually fell in love with an abandoned disciple of the Sword Sect... and ended up with a miserable end..."
Cui Yunyun fell in love with the impoverished Huang Jiujian and wanted to elope with him, but was naturally stopped by Cui Xiang.
In fact, when Cui Yunyun was so beautiful that he had many suitors in Chang'an City, the two most famous ones... are now great Confucians of the "Fourth Grade True Artistic Realm".
It's a pity that she fell in love with Huang Jiujian, who was kicked out of the mountain by Jian Zong. There was a huge gap in their identities, so naturally they were not blessed. In the end, they were beaten by Cui Xiangzong, which was embarrassing.
"At least my aunt got the happiness she wanted, although the duration of this happiness is a bit short. Whatever, sister, if you don't want to help, don't help. I will find a way myself!"
After hearing about his aunt's deeds, Cui Liyan became more determined, which Cui Wanwan did not expect.
Young people will not give in until they are beaten to death.
This is vitality.
"Where are you going!"
Seeing Cui Liyan turning to leave, Cui Wanwan hurriedly stopped her, fearing that her younger brother would do something stupid that would disgrace the family tradition.
"I'm going to find Zian. I want to confess to him. He must have a way!"
Cui Liyan said firmly.
Naturally, he had a very bad impression of Li Nuo at first, and wanted to kill Li Nuo immediately. But after a trip to Yuzhou and seeing Li Nuo's methods, he became Li Nuo's little fan.
"He has no time to care for himself, even if his life is at risk, why are you going to cause trouble for him?"
Cui Wanwan looked a little unnatural.
Cui Liyan was shocked: "What happened to him? Did he offend someone?"
"The governor of Chang'an moved the Xiangguo Temple case to the Ministry of Punishment and asked Li Zian to take over."
"Li Zian takes over? The governor of Chang'an is letting Zian take the blame! This is too cruel!"
This matter has been fermenting for several days, and the Chen family and the Sun family have long been reduced to laughing stock. Chen Shilang said that he had no way to teach his son, so he asked for the skeleton. Sun Changshi stayed behind closed doors and saw no one...
Of course Cui Liyan understood the dirty nature of this matter and was immediately stunned.
Cui Wanwan shook her head lightly: "You don't understand, this is a confrontation between the various forces above."
"How about a confrontation between forces, and then Li Zian can be sacrificed? No, I have to go find him and remind him not to take this case!"
Cui Liyan hated the evil and ran away immediately.
Cui Wanwan stretched out her hand and grabbed it, but it was empty. She was unable to stop Cui Liyan, but a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
Maybe he can really survive this disaster.
after all……
He can always create miracles!
…
However, Cui Liyan ran away in vain. By the time he arrived at the Criminal Department, Li Nuo was already gone.
He went to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War.
He has not forgotten the Ye Changqing case.
He could take this opportunity to check the name mentioned by Mr. Chen, the former Minister of Rites.
With this document issued by the Ministry of Punishment, officials from the three provinces and six ministries were naturally very cooperative and enthusiastic.
Why?
They were afraid that Li Nuo would say that they were not cooperating and would blame them.
This case has caused a stir in the city, and has even involved a national dispute.
However.
Li Nuo checked the roster for most of the day, but did not see the name "Ji Changye".
This person seemed to have disappeared.
The last result he found was the record from fifteen years ago, which recorded that he had been demoted three levels in a row. As for where he was transferred to, there was no further information.
Li Nuo was a little confused.
There shouldn’t be no records!
Unless he was transferred to the Imperial Guard.
Because the Royal Forest Army is the emperor's personal army, the roster is in the hands of King Xin of Tiance Mansion.
Bright fall and dark rise?
It's impossible when you think about it.
Moreover, Tiance Mansion is not something he can enter just because he wants to.
