After wandering around, they came to the deserted ditch where they were abandoned. The servant jumped out of the carriage, picked up the iron rake on the carriage, pretended to be raking horse grass, looked around, and walked towards the edge of the ditch.
This desert ditch is not too deep, but it is overgrown with weeds, especially jujube thorns. It takes a lot of trouble to get down to the bottom of the ditch.
Looking up, he could vaguely see two "corpses" wearing similar clothes to his own through the dead grass at the bottom of the ditch.
"Well, seeing as they haven't moved away, they must have frozen to death a long time ago. Get some horse grass and go back to recover."
Muttering in his mouth, the servant picked up the iron rake in his hand and began to pick up horse grass.
After receiving the news from Xiao Chen that his wife and children were safe, Li An's despair disappeared and he walked into the Shangshu Mansion humming a little tune as if he were a different person.
Wang Wencheng came forward and said, "Sir, the food on the table is already cold. Do you want me to ask the kitchen to heat it up for you?"
"No, it's not the food cooked by Madam. I can't eat it." Although Xiao Chen told him to keep Wang Wencheng in check, Li An couldn't help but get angry when he saw him.
He immediately put on a straight face, said something angrily, and walked towards the living room.
Wang Wencheng was not angry either, and followed closely behind him, and they entered the living room together.
Sitting on the chair in the middle hall, looking at Wang Wencheng who was following him, Li An said: "Why, you have already sent my wife and children away, and you are still following me, are you afraid that I will betray you?"
Wang Wencheng was stunned. Li An went out for a trip and came back with a lot of confidence.
"My lord, you and the King of Han are both our own people. The word rebel is inappropriate. If the King of Han gains power in the future, my lord, you will be the hero. How can you ignore the great future and settle for mediocrity?" Wang Wencheng laughed.
Then, he started drawing big cakes for Li An to satisfy his hunger.
Li An wanted to explode, but when he thought of Xiao Chen's explanation, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
"I hope so. Man's plan is up to man, and God's plan is up to him. If the King of Han succeeds, I can drink some soup and be satisfied." Li An said.
Hearing what Li An said, Wang Wencheng felt a little more at ease, and asked tentatively: "Just now, did the captain in purple come to see you again?"
Li An wanted to get angry.
Xiao Chen and I went out, you must have seen me, why are you pretending to care here? Suddenly an idea came to my mind.
It is said that the people in Dongchang are as greedy as Jin Yiwei. Only the power of money can make Xiao Chen and I hook up. But don’t you, Wang Wencheng, know how much money I have? Apart from your banknote, where do I have it?
The money you got is given to Xiao Chen.
"No, I risked being killed by Dongchang to serve the King of Han. How could Xiao Chen let me go so easily? But even though he is a purple-robed captain, he did not block the charm of silver. Your five thousand taels of silver
I gave the ticket to Xiao Chen. Alas..."
Li An let out a long sigh, as if he was sighing that the bank note would become someone else's before it was warmed up.
Looking at Li An, Wang Wencheng was a little doubtful. He didn't believe that Li An could really get together with Xiao Chen, and he didn't believe that he could bribe Xiao Chen with 5,000 taels of silver notes.
"Sir, did you really give that bank note to Xiao Chen?"
"What should I do if I don't give it to you? My wife and the young master have been taken away by you and arranged properly, but I am the one who is angry with Xiao Chen. After being frightened by him that day, I never wanted to see him in my dreams. So above the court, I also
I dare not continue to target him. Today he came and praised me for what I have done in the past two days, but he is still worried about what happened to him that day. I want to do things for the King of Han, and I also want to use the King of Han to reward me.
Money, I can improve my life at home. But I have to live first, right?"
"Then Xiao Chen dared to kill Cang Cheng who collided with him, and he also dared to kill me. In order to save my life, I could only obediently offer the banknote. But Xiao Chen was a bit greedy. He collected the banknote and said, next
I will continue to come to my house as a guest this time. I am already penniless. Next time he comes, where will I have a banknote to give him."
Putting his arms on the table to support his head, Li An couldn't help but sigh, expressing his helplessness. From the corner of his eyes, he secretly observed the changes in Wang Wencheng's expression through the fingers of his right hand.
"My lord, what you said makes sense. If you want to serve the King of Han wholeheartedly, protecting your life is the first priority." Wang Wencheng hunched over and looked at his toes, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing Wang Wencheng thinking, Li An lost no time and said: "Steward Wang, why don't you talk to the King of Han and send me out too. It's too dangerous to stay in Shangshu Mansion. That devil Xiao Chen comes every now and then.
The emperor will come to the palace. I am so worried that I can't do anything for the King of Han. I asked the emperor for leave and went to the King of Han's palace to hide for a while."
"No, no, no, this is absolutely not possible." Wang Wencheng waved his hands hurriedly, "Sir, you are now the leading figure in the Han Dynasty, how can you ask for leave and leave. As for Xiao Chen, since he is greedy for money, we will just feed him.
Although his official position is low, he is just an ordinary school captain in Dongchang, but the unicorn purple clothes he is given by the emperor is enough to make him dominate the court. If you can win him to the side of the King of Han, it will be a great achievement for you, sir.
One piece."
"Feed him? I only get a small salary every month, how can I feed him? Besides, I gave him 5,000 taels of silver without even a splash. Who knows how big his appetite is?" Li An shook his head,
A grimace on his face.
"Don't worry, Sir. I will report it to the King of Han. As long as he is greedy, it will be easy to deal with. Money is not a big deal to the King of Han. I am afraid that if he does not do anything after taking the money, he may not be able to explain to the King of Han."
Staring at Li An, Wang Wencheng said calmly.
He also knew a little bit about Xiao Chen. He was thoughtful and capable, otherwise he wouldn't have been given the purple unicorn uniform. As for his greed for money, he had never heard of it.
Then again, how many people can refuse a large amount of snowflake silver?
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't do things. But he wears purple clothes and has great power. As long as he doesn't hinder us from doing things, he is helping us." Li An said hurriedly, deliberately looking at Wang Wencheng.
After thinking for a while, Wang Wencheng smiled faintly: "Master Li is right. As long as the threat to you by Captain Ziyi is eliminated, it means that he is helping us. Of course, it would be best if we could pull him over directly.
I will report it to the King of Han right away and divide some more silver notes for us."
"If this is really possible, that would be the best. I would like to thank King Han in advance." Li An looked happy.
Seeing Wang Wencheng hurriedly walk out of the living room, Li An couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"It seems that I was a little dull before. Xiao Chen is right. These banknotes are not in vain. You dare to do this to me. Although I can't take revenge, I can feel better if I pay more money."
