At ten o'clock in the evening, Wei Changtian's carriage drove away from Li Mansion.
Different from when he came, this time Li Kan went all the way to the gate.
Li Yang was very surprised by his father's change, and even more curious about what the two said after he left.
But of course Li Can wouldn't tell him, he just looked at his son and sighed heavily.
As an official, the higher you go, the more dangerous you become.
He originally wanted to be alone in the cracks, but who would have thought that he would be manipulated by a junior in the end.
It's useless to think about it now. I can only hope that the notorious devil king of the Wei family can rely on his luck and not lead him into a ditch.
"well……"
Li Magazine was worried about his fate, while Wei Changtian in the carriage shook his head and sighed while looking at the two pieces of paper in his hand.
One is the list of witnesses, and the other is the "letter of treason" written by Li magazine just now.
With these two things, even if I have a grip on Li Can's seven inches, I am not afraid that he will be disobedient in the future.
Although this result was basically in line with the expectations before coming, Wei Changtian still felt that the process was not too smooth.
In fact, he did not intend to threaten Li Magazine at first. He originally wanted to save the "huge corruption" card for later.
But at that time, Li Quan was undecided and obviously couldn't trust himself, so in the end he had to play his cards in advance.
Putting the two pieces of paper into his chest and putting them away, he thought of Xiao Feng again.
I don’t know what he is doing now or what bad thoughts he is thinking.
If it had been Xiao Feng just now, it would have taken just a few words for Li Jian to switch sides and surrender.
What a halo of the protagonist!
Wei Changtian angrily opened the car curtain and looked around.
At this time, we were walking into a busy city, where pedestrians were walking shoulder to shoulder, and the colorful flags hanging in the shops on the roadside were trembling in the wind.
Since the country-wide war with Dafeng in the west two hundred years ago, Daning has never experienced a major war. Even the poisonous and cruel goblins have been almost killed by tens of thousands of "willow leaves" in recent years. .
In such a peaceful and prosperous time, most of the people naturally had a comfortable life, and they even forgot how long this peace lasted.
At the end of the line of sight, there was only the last gentle orange-red twilight left on the crab-green sky.
Looking at this beautiful and peaceful sunset, Wei Changtian suddenly whispered for no reason.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.
…
When Wei Changtian returned to Wei Mansion, it was just in time for dinner.
He never came back, and he didn't send anyone with a message. Naturally, Lu Jingyao and others didn't dare to eat first, so they all waited in the courtyard.
Then it was back to the card table.
"Madam, how many cards do you have left?" Yuan'er asked cautiously, frowning.
"Two pieces." Lu Jingyao held the piece of paper in her hand and answered with a smile.
"That……"
Yuan'er was delighted and gently placed a five on the table.
"Ma'am, I'll give you a five."
"ten!"
Lu Jingyao immediately threw away the only card in her hand and spread her hands happily: "I won!"
"ah?"
Yuan'er was stunned for a long time, and when she realized what she was doing, she immediately shouted dissatisfied: "Madam! You are lying!"
"I, I am a soldier who never tires of deceit."
Lu Jingyao's face was a little red, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth still revealed her inner joy.
"Young master always uses this trick to deceive me. I didn't expect that my wife has also learned it..."
Yuan'er pouted her little mouth and wanted to continue to accuse Lu Jingyao, but Qiu Yun suddenly hit her on the head.
"If you lose, you lose. Where do you come from so many words!"
When Yuan'er heard that even Qiu Yun was not on her side, she felt even more aggrieved: "Young Master says this every time! You, you bullies!"
"you……"
Qiu Yun felt a headache when he saw Yuan'er who was about to cry. Lu Jingyao felt even more guilty at this time and hurriedly took Yuan'er's hand to comfort her:
"It's my fault. I won't lie to you when I play cards in the future. Don't cry."
"Husband, madam, are you serious about what you said?"
"really!"
"...Hehe! I knew Madam would understand things best!"
Yuan'er instantly beamed with joy, but she didn't even look a little aggrieved.
Only then did Lu Jingyao realize that she had been deceived by this girl. She angrily and funny let go of her, put the cards together and then said:
"Hurry up, let's play again!"
"Okay ma'am!"
"..."
"Call the devil!"
"I'll grab it!"
"..."
The breeze blew through the pavilion, and under the slightly swaying black hair were three pretty faces that had their own characteristics, but were all charming.
Such an unusual master-servant relationship would be unthinkable in other wealthy families, but in Wei Changtian it is the norm.
Lu Jingyao was very happy to have successfully grabbed the "Devil" again, especially when she saw Yuan'er's little face wrinkled because of her bad cards, she almost laughed out loud.
And just as she pursed her lips and arranged the cards in her hands happily, a slightly sad thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
I haven't laughed like this for a long time...
"Madam, what are you thinking about? Play your cards now!"
"...Why are you urging me! I'm about to leave now!"
…
During dinner, Wei Changtian always felt that something was not right with Lu Jingyao.
She usually remained silent during meals, but this time she actually took the initiative to ask about her visit to Li Magazine, and even threatened to go shopping in the next few days to buy some fabric and sew a dress for herself.
I'm afraid it's not a shroud...
Wei Changtian was startled by his own idea and hurriedly refused this "good offer".
And he swallowed several big mouthfuls of rice to suppress his shock.
Lu Jingyao seemed a little disappointed by this, and returned to her normal state of eating silently.
Wei Changtian didn't bother to care about what she was thinking. He ate in a hurry, changed clothes and went to Wei Xianzhi to discuss today's affairs in the Li Mansion.
The whole process went smoothly, and Wei Xianzhi was naturally shocked.
However, Wei Changtian did not tell the whole story, but only selectively talked about Zhang Hongwen's feeding of demons and the joint trial of the three divisions.
As for Li Jian's "treason letter", it was never released.
This was not a sign of distrust of Wei Xianzhi.
But Wei Changtian felt that it was time to start forming a force that was only loyal to him.
"Wang Er."
On the way back, he suddenly asked Wang Er, who was holding a lantern: "How long have you been in the Wei family?"
"Back to the young master, I entered the Wei family at the age of five."
Wang Er answered truthfully: "It has been thirty years now."
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded and asked straightforwardly: "Then will you betray the Wei family one day?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Although this question was a bit nonsensical, Wang Er answered in a deep voice without even thinking about it:
"Sir, although I am not very capable, I am a member of the Wei family in life and a ghost of the Wei family in death! Even if you ask me to kill the emperor now, I will never frown!"
Wei Changtian nodded: "Well, I believe in your loyalty to the Wei family, but..."
"What if I want you to be loyal only to me from now on?"
"..."
Be loyal to the Wei family and the only son of the Wei family.
At first glance, it seems that there is no difference between the two.
But Wang Er understood the difference.
The fire in the lantern shuddered suddenly, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
I don’t know how long it took before a sentence suddenly sounded in the darkness.
"Yes, sir."
