"Water, water..." A slight cry came from the earthen bed.
Wei Qi, who was sitting on the chair next to him, rushed over in a single step, holding Wei Liang's arms with both hands, staring closely at the other person's slowly opened eyes, and whispered, "Brother, are you awake?"
After staying up for three full days, Wei Liang finally regained consciousness.
Wei Qi, who was opposite him, looked at Wei Liang's slowly opening eyes and cried with joy. Shuan Yan couldn't help feeling wet: "Just wait, I'll bring you some water."
After saying that, he quickly rushed to the table, picked up the warm water that he had been preparing, walked to the bed, took a spoonful of it with the spoon in the bowl, and gently brought it to Wei Liang's mouth.
In the past few days, Wei Liang, who was unconscious, had not had a drop of water. His wife was afraid that he would become dehydrated, so they kept wiping his face, arms and legs with wet towels. Even so, Wei Liang's lips were still dry and cracked.
Kouzi.
Facing the warm water brought to his mouth, he couldn't wait to open his mouth.
But he was so weak that he could only open his mouth half-open. Wei Qi carefully poured the warm water into his mouth with a spoon.
"Put him up a little and feed him directly from a bowl." Looking at Wei Qi's clumsy look, Xiao Chen couldn't help but said.
"Oh. Okay." Wei Qi responded, put down the water bowl in his hand, walked to the head of the kang, put his hands on Wei Liang's body, and helped him up.
He pulled another quilt and stuffed it behind him, keeping him in a semi-sitting position. Then he picked up the water bowl and put it to Wei Liang's mouth.
After drinking most of the bowl of warm water, Wei Liang closed his eyes again, panted heavily, and leaned on the quilt to regain his strength.
"Brother, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Wei Qi asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, Wei Zhixian just woke up, let him recover for a while." Xiao Chen stopped him.
"Oh." Wei Didian nodded, sat next to Wei Liang, supported his body, and waited quietly.
After about half a quarter of an hour, Wei Liang opened his eyes again: "Did the Lord of Hell send me back again because he refused to accept me?"
"Well, the Lord of Hell said that your life was not yet up, so he didn't dare to take you in, so he put you back." Wei Qi answered hurriedly.
"Oh, there is no such thing as the Lord of Hell. I am destined to be lucky. If the people of Gu'an City have not solved the problem of eating, they will not be able to kill me." Wei Liang said with a slight grin on his lips.
"Yes. The people of Gu'an are holding you back. How dare they accept you?" Wei Qi raised his right hand, wiped his eyes with his palm, and said softly.
Seeing the two brothers comforting each other, Xiao Chen slowly exited the room.
It was already dark, except for the candles in the two broken lanterns at the gate of the county government office, which flickered a little light two feet away, the entire night sky was pitch black.
Xiao Chen slowly stood on the stone pier at the door.
What impressed him the most today was not power or wealth, but the deep affection between his family members.
In order to relieve his wife's pain of missing her father, shopkeeper Li spent all his money to build a courtyard for his father-in-law in Gu'an City according to his wife's wishes.
In order to find out the truth about his elder brother's attack from behind, Wei Qi ran to the capital and asked him to investigate the case.
They are all happy people. At least, they all have a head to pursue and something to worry about.
But myself, where is my goal? Where are my worries?
In order for the people of the Ming Dynasty to live a good life in the future, he worked hard to re-create a loyal and honest prince, just to win the emperor's appreciation and re-enter the East Palace.
But who knows, a group of mysterious men in black kidnap the prince and take him away.
If ordinary people lost their son, they would definitely try their best to search for it. But what about the emperor? He actually took this opportunity to take back the right to use firearms that he had given to Dongchang. He did not hesitate to delay the opportunity to find the prince and handed himself over to the Inspectorate for investigation.
.
Where is the emperor's pursuit? Where is the emperor's concern?
Li An, a man who once wanted to kill himself, reached out to help him when he needed help the most and took over the hot potato that was responsible for the prince's safety.
Where is his ambition and where is his concern?
Mr. Factory Lord, in order to prevent everyone in Dongchang from being implicated, he would not hesitate to trade his personal freedom in exchange for his own involvement in handling the case. He didn’t know that openly going to the Inspectorate to cause trouble would displease the emperor? He didn’t know that Jin Yiwei had long been dissatisfied with Dongchang.
Have you been watching with eager eyes, always wanting to suppress Dongchang, or simply push him into the water?
Under such circumstances, the factory owner did not hesitate to leave an excuse for Jin Yiwei and still put himself in danger.
Where is his goal? What are his concerns?
Looking at the dark night sky, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly.
If the whereabouts of the prince cannot be found, what will be the fate of these people?
The East Factory had a new factory manager, and the Ministry of Justice appointed a new minister. The world of the Ming Dynasty was still peaceful.
And those who were once loyal to the court and the emperor could only become lonely ghosts under the emperor's wrath.
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt a strong desire to quit.
After finishing the prince's affairs and resolving all crises, he left Dongchang and the court.
This kind of emperor who decides the life and death of the world by his own joy, anger, sorrow and joy, I will not play with him anymore.
In the distance, a melodious flute sound came from nowhere. The sad tune in the night sky made people feel depressed and had no fighting spirit.
For a moment, Xiao Chen remembered the second son of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Xiaoke, who was trapped in love and gave up on himself for love when he was tracking down Ouyang Qianhu in Yizhou.
"I wonder if Mr. Ouyang ever took over the few stores I left for him?" Xiao Chen chuckled.
Even if you love again, it is not a problem to always stay at the grave of the deceased.
If someone knew about the deceased, they would also blame him for abandoning himself.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen stood up suddenly, his heart became clear.
Doesn't my current state also count as giving up on myself?
The emperor wants to decide his life and death based on his happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, so he has to find a reason no matter what. Since you are more important to regaining the right to use firearms in Dongchang than the safety of the prince, then I will just recover the prince.
, and use the firearm you gave to destroy the opponent, so that you have no right to take back the firearm.
Li An was dragged into jail by himself. The factory boss did not hesitate to take personal risks in exchange for his freedom, and the brothers around him all worked tirelessly to follow him around, just to find the prince and relieve the crisis for Dongchang.
.How can I give up so easily?
After tying his hair tightly again, Xiao Chen turned around and walked into the room again.
After a few bowls of bone soup, Wei Liang's complexion improved a lot and he seemed to be energetic.
"Brother, this is the purple-clad captain of Dongchang, who came from the capital specifically to investigate your case." Seeing Xiao Chen come in, Wei Qi stood up quickly and introduced to Wei Liang.
"Lord Ziyi? I'm going to lower my rank..." Wei Liang was excited and was about to stand up and salute.
Wei Liang was very familiar with Xiao Chen's famous name.
Although Gu'an was poor and his reputation as a county magistrate did not carry much weight among his colleagues, this did not affect his understanding of recent events in the imperial court.
Regarding the establishment of Dongchang, the emperor issued an edict to determine the status and power of Dongchang. Wei Liang read it word for word to all the civil servants of the county government.
Later, as the school captain of Dongchang, Xiao Chen captured Liao Xianghe, the leader of Jinyiwei's imperial edict, and beheaded Cangcheng, the Minister of Rites, in public.
Later, a case in Jiangnan was solved and more than a hundred officials, big and small, involved in the case were taken back.
Wei Liang knew everything. Xiao Chen was simply his idol.
But today, Xiao Chen appeared in front of him alive. Wei Liang couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. Regardless of the injury on his head, he stood up and knelt down.
"Okay, okay, we are all our own people, not to mention that Wei Zhixian is seriously injured, so this salute is not necessary." Xiao Chen smiled, walked forward, put his hand on Wei Liang's shoulder, "Have a good rest, and will
Looking back on the situation at that time, helping me solve the case would have done more for me than paying a courtesy."
Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Wei Liang.
"Yeah." Wei Mingliang nodded and leaned back on the quilt behind him. "At that time, I was suddenly attacked from behind. I felt like my head was spinning and my body fell involuntarily. However, at the moment I fell to the ground,
I did not lose consciousness. I tried my best to look back at the man and remembered his appearance."
