Li Tongshi raised his head and carefully observed Wei Tu's reaction after hearing this.
The King of Mingzhou was not a prince conferred by the Zheng Kingdom, but one of the 32 rebels in Guangyuan Prefecture who rebelled against the king.
Her son Li Xingye defected to the King of Mingzhou and became an aide. This was a crime of rebellion. According to the laws of Zheng State, the nine tribes were to be executed.
When ordinary people hear this kind of thing, they will probably think it is a disaster. Not only will they not help, but they will send her to the government for punishment.
Involved in the crime of rebellion——
Even officials are inevitably guilty.
What surprised Li Tongshi was that when Wei Tu heard the news, he was neither shocked nor angry, but had a calm expression on his face.
"see a visitor out."
Wei Tu sipped his tea, looked at the maid aside, and spoke briefly.
——He had to clean up his kindness to the Li family in these thirty years.
If the Li family has a small favor this time, he can still help because of his old friendship, but it involves the crime of rebellion... Even if he has the ability, he doesn't want to get himself into trouble.
The voice fell.
Li Tongshi immediately made a plop, knelt down on the ground, and begged: "The old woman came to ask for help from the guards, not because she was lucky and hoped that the guards would rescue the old woman and her family..."
"I just ask the guards to help me and save one of the old woman's grandchildren."
"Don't let my Li family lose its incense."
As if thinking of something, Li Tong quickly added, "The old woman has two grandchildren, they are from the second family, and they have nothing to do with that evil beast Xingye!"
"A grandson?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not say any words of rejection immediately.
Li Tongshi was able to "escape" from the county jail not because of his great ability, but because of the help of his "old friends".
In other words, the situation is not so critical that it is difficult to help.
The crime of rebellion is serious.
But the officials who handle matters are still local officials after all, and they have the ability to show favoritism.
It's just that this favor is too big for the officials of Qingshan County to agree to. They must get his approval before they are willing to do this favor.
In other words.
There is a possibility of getting burned by helping the Li family, but this danger is still within a certain controllable range.
Otherwise, Li Tongshi would not be able to escape.
besides.
There is another possibility.
A certain official didn't like him and wanted to set up this trap to frame him.
"It's just a grandson. With my connections, I can rescue him, but it will inevitably fall into the hands of officials in Qingshan County..."
"This handle is not a small handle, but a handle for the crime of rebellion."
"Don't be careless!"
"If you use martial arts..."
Wei Tu thought secretly.
With his martial arts prowess, it shouldn't be difficult to secretly go to the county jail and rescue someone.
But he didn't want to go to the county jail and risk his life because of this incident.
…
The living room was quiet for several quarters of an hour.
Wei Tu shook his head and made up his mind. He first asked Xinghua to take two ingots of silver as a gift and gave them to Li Tongshi.
Then he said "Send off" to the maid.
Li Xingye didn't care about his wife, children, and children, so why should he, an outsider, care about the lives of the Li family.
A grandchild is easy to save.
But the subsequent handling and arrangements are all very risky. He also has a wife and children. How can he put his family in danger because of this matter.
"Wei Guards, Lord Wei..."
"Is it really impossible?"
At the back door of Wei's house, the gray-haired Li Tong stepped across the threshold. She didn't give up. She turned around and glanced at Wei Tu intently, pursing her lips a few times and asked.
In the nearly thirty years of their relationship, Wei Tu has always been "responsive" to the Li family's requests, which is why she regards Wei Tu as a life-saving straw.
Unexpectedly, Wei Tu refused so simply this time, leaving no room for redemption.
Listen to this.
Wei Tu was silent for a few breaths, and then he said, "If grandma had begged me more than twenty years ago, even though Wei was afraid of the relationship, he would still have helped the Li family get through this disaster."
"However, it's different now."
"Love will be exhausted."
Having said that, in fact, Wei Tu thought to himself that if the Li family had been in such trouble more than twenty years ago, he would not have been willing to help the Li family solve the problem.
To be a "benefactor" and hang one's head on one's waist, even a person who knows the meaning of friendship would find it difficult to do so.
What's more, his relationship with the Li family was not very pleasant.
At that time, if he had not redeemed his life in advance, he and the Li family would have become enemies long ago.
"The love...is exhausted..." Hearing this, Li Tongshi murmured to herself and sighed several times.
The Li family said they were grateful to Wei Tu for his life, but in reality they took advantage of the low cost of human life to buy and keep slaves during the famine years.
Three years ago, her son Li Xingye wrote an "anti-poetry" in a restaurant, and the whole family was imprisoned. Thanks to Wei Tu's connections, they survived without losing all their family wealth.
One life is worth one life.
To talk about debt, it should be that the Li family owes Wei Tu his life.
"The old woman resigned."
Mrs. Li Tong gave a half salute, turned around and left through the back door of Wei's house.
After a few breaths, she disappeared around the corner of the street.
…
After Li Tong left the Wei residence.
Wei Tu did not relax about this. After he ordered his servant to close the backyard door, he swayed up to the eaves and followed Li Tong from a distance.
Dou Mien, Sheng Miqiu.
He did not help Li Tongshi to help the Li family escape this time. If Li Tongshi had a grudge, she would report to the government office and say that he also had the intention of treason.
Then he would be in danger.
"Besides me, is there anyone else following the Li Tong family? Could it be someone from Qingshan County Government?"
After following Li Tongshi for a while, Wei Tu suddenly discovered that there was a thin middle-aged man secretly following Li Tongshi fifty steps away.
He concluded that this middle-aged man was most likely sent by officials from Qingshan County.
The Qingshan County officials' purpose in sending this middle-aged man was probably because they were worried that Li Tong would hold a grudge and bite him randomly after he failed to seek help.
Half an hour later.
Mrs. Li Tong walked near the entrance of the government office.
Seeing this, Wei Tu, who was standing on the eaves, suddenly showed a cold look in his eyes. He turned his hand and found a green leaf on his fingertips.
This green leaf was picked by him from an elm tree of another family just now with Li Tongshi.
——If Li Tongshi reports to the police next, he will definitely not hold back and take the first step to kill Li Tongshi.
Then, Wei Tu glanced at the middle-aged man following Li Tongshi.
Just like him, this middle-aged man had a fierce look in his eyes, a short blade in his hand, and he obviously had a murderous intention.
Li Tong stayed at the entrance of the government office for a short while. He climbed up the steps several times, but after climbing up, he went down again.
He didn't knock on the government office door.
After Li Tongshi left, Wei Tu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Killing Li Tong, an acquaintance, was a test for him.
Could this be the case?
It can also be considered a blessing.
Wei Tu continued to follow Li Tongshi and the middle-aged man. After seeing the scene of Li Tongshi leaving the government office and being arrested by the county government police - he immediately tried to take away the two ingots of silver given to Li Tongshi.
Then retreat and leave.
…
ps: It will be released this Wednesday at 12 noon.
