Chapter 20 The Hu Peng Gou Friends Who Finally Debut
Lu Jingyao didn't sleep all night last night, but Wei Changtian was in high spirits.
A physical battle before going to bed, and a mental battle after going to bed.
Even after waking up like this, I still didn't feel sleepy and my mind was clear. I can only say that the "dream path" is indeed magical.
Lu Jingyao was not there during breakfast. According to Yuan'er, she was "unwell and had no appetite." As for the exact reason, only the devil knows.
After swallowing the big tonic soup that Qiu Yun specially asked the cook to make, Wei Changtian wiped his mouth and prepared to go to the Xuanjing Division to continue being beaten.
But at this moment, the doorman of the Wei Mansion suddenly came to report that Mr. Li was here.
"Master Li?"
Wei Changtian was stunned and asked: "Which Mr. Li?"
The doorman was a little surprised: "That's Mr. Li Yang from Li Mansion."
"Oh...let him in."
Wei Changtian nodded, already remembering who this Li Yang was.
Every villain has some followers.
Its main function is to highlight the arrogance and domineeringness of the villain so that the protagonist can better show off his coolness.
The former master had many followers like this, but the only one named in the book is Li Yang.
His father, Li Kan, was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, equivalent to the second-in-command of the Supreme Court in his previous life. His official position was neither high nor low, so he had to compete with others.
Thanks to his family's fortune, Li Yang also worked as an official in Dali Temple, but like Wei Changtian, he was a freeloader and could only do two things at most on weekdays.
1: Visit the kilns.
Two: Visit the brothel with Wei Changtian.
To sum up briefly, he is a second-generation official with no knowledge or skills.
The only advantage is that he is loyal enough to Wei Changtian. In the novel, he takes the lead to find trouble for Xiao Feng.
As for the ending...of course the family is broken up and everyone is destroyed.
…
"Brother Wei! Why are you in such good spirits after not seeing you for a few days?"
"Alas, I have been grounded by my father since the last time we made a big fuss in Tanchun Tower, and I was able to escape today."
"I heard that you have already married Lu Jingyao? I was still locked up at home at that time, so I came here specifically to make up for your congratulations today!"
"I know you are not short of money, so I specially stole a list of the female relatives of prisoners who will be escorted to Jiaofangsi in the near future from my father!"
"There are a lot of perfect bodies here. Let's study them carefully and we will definitely be able to come out on top..."
The rather wretched-looking man spitted and the paper in his hand made a squealing sound.
Wei Changtian was getting more and more upset the more he listened.
Unexpectedly, Li Yang is actually a talkative person, and he has been beeping like crazy since they met.
And what kind of magical operation is it to send a "lady's list" as a wedding gift?
After waiting for a long time, Li Yang didn't stop talking. He finally couldn't help but coughed and interrupted: "Ahem, Brother Li, I accept the list."
"But I'm going to the Xuanjing Department now..."
"I'll go with you!"
Li Yang said warmly: "I just have something serious to talk to Brother Wei on the way!"
Wei Changtian: "Okay..."
The carriage was quickly prepared, with Wang Er acting as the driver, and Wei Changtian and Li Yang sitting opposite each other in the carriage.
After the carriage ran for a while, Wei Changtian asked helplessly: "Brother Li, what's the business?"
"Oh, that's right!"
Li Yang came closer and lowered his voice: "Yesterday when I was looking for the list of women's family members, I happened to see a piece of complaint from my father. I sued Brother Wei for killing people in the street and robbing women.
There are seven or eight charges of seeking trouble and making trouble."
"Um?"
After Wei Changtian heard this, he instinctively tensed up for a moment, but then relaxed again.
Today is different from the past. With your current status, are you still afraid of being accused?
"Brother Wei, I'm afraid this time is different!"
Li Yang seemed to notice his indifference, and his tone was a little anxious: "Usually, this kind of matter should have been suppressed by the Yamen long ago, but this time it was handed over to Dali Temple, and I am afraid that it will be interrogated by the three departments of Zheng'er, Eight Classics and Three Divisions.
"
"Is it?"
Wei Changtian was stunned, and after pondering for a moment, he asked: "Who do you think, Brother Li, is targeting me?"
"It must be the Liu family!"
Li Yang slapped his thigh angrily and said firmly: "Brother Wei humiliated Liu Zongliang so badly last time. This turtle grandson will never be able to swallow this breath!"
"It's definitely the Liu family who wants to vent their anger on him this time!"
Liu Zongliang...
Although this name is very unfamiliar, Wei Changtian knows a thing or two about the situation of the Liu family.
There is a joke circulating among the people for each of the three major families in Daning - Liu, Wei and Xu.
If you want to invite the God of Wealth into your home, you should first ask the Xu family for permission.
Not afraid of ghosts, not afraid of gods, only afraid of the souls killed by the Wei family sword.
If you want to transform the birds into geese in official uniforms, use catkins to make cotton.
Although the rumors are exaggerated, they basically reflect the situation of the three companies.
One has money, one has a knife, and one has power.
From the perspective of overall strength, the Liu family, which has overwhelming power, is undoubtedly the strongest. The head of the family is the prime minister of the dynasty, and his power can be said to be inferior to that of one person.
However, the Liu family has always been at odds with the Wei family, and coupled with the lawless character of the former owner... Wei Changtian has roughly guessed the whole story.
It is estimated that the former owner had a conflict with the junior of the Liu family named Liu Zongliang at some point, and then the Liu family wanted to take revenge, so they instigated some people to sue him behind the scenes.
Anyway, the former owner has a lot of tricks like this, and two of them are enough to be sentenced to death.
Of course, it is definitely impossible to kill him, but it is enough to disgust the Wei family.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian's expression finally became more serious.
"Brother Li, thank you for informing me about this matter."
"Brother Wei, what are you talking about!"
Li Yang said boldly: "Your business is my business, naturally I will not stand idly by!"
"I will beg my father tonight. If there is really a trial between the three agencies, Dali Temple will definitely support the Wei family!"
"Don't rush this matter yet."
Wei Changtian shook his head, thought for a while and then said: "I want to pay a visit to your father in the next few days."
"Meet my dad?"
Li Yang was stunned: "If you have anything to do, just tell me!"
Wei Changtian smiled: "I can't explain it in one or two sentences, so let's talk about it together when the time comes."
"All right."
Li Yang nodded: "Then I will tell Brother Wei the time after I tell my father."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Wei Changtian patted Li Yang on the shoulder, and the carriage slowly stopped at this time.
Looking at the three characters "Xuanjing Division" written in flying phoenixes on the plaque, Li Yang finally remembered and asked: "By the way, Brother Wei, are you here to see Mr. Wei?"
"no."
"Then what are you doing here? Is it possible that you were forced by your family to come here?"
"well……"
Wei Changtian didn't explain, he sighed and jumped off the carriage and walked to the martial arts hall.
Li Yang scratched his head in confusion behind him, hesitated for a moment and then followed him.
Then he was soon stunned by the scene in front of him.
Why do these people dare to beat Brother Wei? Do they want their lives?
Why did Brother Wei let them fight? I always felt like something was wrong...
Looking back now, Wei Changtian's reaction seemed a little strange when we were in the car just now...
