Chapter 50 Where Did the Monkey Come From?
At that time, one of the brothers rode his horse to chase after them, but soon lost sight of the wolves.
Judging from the direction, it was probably going down the mountain. After passing through the forest halfway up the mountain, we arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain. And that village was exactly Beiguan Village.
This time, since there happened to be a clue pointing to this place, Li Gan planned to go over and take a look.
Li Gan had a vague guess in his mind.
He felt that the escaped wolves would either break into the village and harm the villagers' livestock or even hurt people, or they would fall into Xiao Lubuhua's hands.
It is basically impossible for Xiao Lubuhua to hide in Beiguan Village. But, what if he hides in the mountains?
When the crown prince and the grandson heard that Li Gan was going to take them to investigate the case, they became excited all of a sudden. Investigating the case! This was the most interesting thing they had encountered since they left the house!
The expressions of these two gods were too obvious. Li Gan couldn't pretend not to see them. He pulled off the black mask, revealing a face with fair skin, delicate features, picturesque eyebrows, and an androgynous face:
"Sir, it's best not to show your emotions like this. When you're out and about, keep things simple and relax the rules a little. But if you keep this expression, you won't be able to walk around outside."
Even though they had a basin of cold water poured over their heads, the Crown Prince and the Grandson's faces were still radiant and they couldn't hide their excitement.
The grandson smiled with curved eyebrows and raised mouth corners, and said in a childish voice:
"Uncle Li, I'm so happy! I want to keep a straight face, but I can't..."
The crown prince also smiled. He looked down at his son and felt soft in his heart:
"If you can't hold it in, then don't hold it in! Why don't we stay at home for a while and go out after we've laughed enough?"
"Yes, yes!"
The young grandson clapped his hands and said, "Daddy is still the smartest!"
Li Gan couldn't help but smile. The grandson was suddenly stunned. He stared at Li Gan's face in shock and confusion, and murmured, "Why are you so beautiful..."
Li Gan quickly covered his face with the black scarf again, revealing only a pair of deep eyes: "What now?"
The grandson recovered but was still a little confused. He turned around and asked the crown prince who was also dazzled by Li Gan's smile: "Dad, Uncle Li looks so good when he smiles, why doesn't he smile every day? Why do you always have a stern face and wear a veil to cover your face?"
The child's confusion was genuine, and the crown prince was speechless for a moment.
Everyone knows the reason for this problem, but it is very troublesome to explain it to children.
Li Gan saw that the crown prince was frowning and couldn't think of a proper answer for a moment, so he simply answered the question himself:
"Since I'm so good-looking, how can I just show it to others casually?"
"Oh..." The grandson suddenly realized: "I understand! Uncle Li's face is just like Aunt Dai's snacks! Aunt Dai's snacks are especially delicious, so I always keep them for myself to eat secretly..."
At this point, the prince suddenly realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and exposed the fact that he had secretly hidden the snacks, and he quickly glanced at his father's face.
But I found that my father seemed to have not noticed this at all.
The crown prince felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what Li Gan said, but the most important thing was to fool his son, so let it be for now!
He couldn't possibly tell his son that Li Gan had been in several fights with the sons of the powerful and wealthy in the capital just because of this face!
Why did the Annan Palace become enemies with Li Gan?
Isn’t it the youngest son of the Annan Palace who doesn’t care about meat or vegetables? He ran into Li Gan on the street and was mesmerized by his face. He lost his appetite and kept shouting that he had to “get close to him” and even chased Li Gan all over the street…
At the beginning, Li Gan, for the sake of the Annan Palace's face, tolerated him a few times and did not confront him head-on. Every time they met, he just rode away quickly.
Later, Li Gan visited the King of Annan and asked him to restrain the behavior of his youngest son.
Unexpectedly, the King of Annan disagreed with this and advised Li Gan not to be shy and get closer to his son. As long as he could make his son happy, he would get benefits from it!
Li Gan was so angry that he stormed out on the spot.
When they met the youngest son of King Annan again, they no longer gave face to the Annan Palace, but directly broke the guy's legs and threw him in front of the gate of the Annan Palace.
This time, Li Gan had completely offended the Annan Palace.
There are quite a few powerful and wealthy children like the youngest son of the King of Annan. The reason for this should actually be blamed on Li Gan’s father.
Li Gan's father also had a title, but since Li Gan's mother passed away and his father remarried and had several younger brothers and sisters, the relationship between father and son became increasingly worse.
When Li Gan was twelve years old, he went out to play with his classmates one day. However, his six-year-old sister Aqiao, who grew up with the same mother, drowned in the lotus pond at home.
Li Gan determined that his stepmother was the murderer, but he had no evidence.
When the accident happened, the stepmother beat several servants who were present to death with a stick, including Li Qiao's maid and wet nurse.
When Li Gan returned home, he found that his sister did not come out to greet him, so he felt something was wrong. When he saw his sister's body, he almost went crazy on the spot.
Li Gan asked his father to seek justice for his sister, but his father did not believe him. Instead, he determined that Li Gan had always been suspicious of his stepmother and was unfilial, so he punished him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall and repent and reflect.
Li Gan knelt in the ancestral hall for about an incense stick of time and then refused to kneel any longer.
He held his mother's tablet and forced his way out of the house.
This incident caused a huge uproar at the time, and almost the entire circle of powerful people in Beijing was shocked.
My father had not yet appointed a crown prince.
After hearing about the Li family's affairs, Li Gan and his father were summoned to the palace to have a chat with them. The result was very different from what everyone expected.
After listening to the story and Dongxiang Bo's explanation, the emperor did not punish Dongxiang Bo's second wife directly. He even turned a blind eye to the whole incident and did not say a word.
He only accepted Li Gan as a third-class imperial guard and awarded him a small house with two entrances in the inner city, allowing him to live separately and independently.
As for the tablet of Li Gan's mother, it will be temporarily handed over to Li Gan for safekeeping. But in the future, after a hundred years of Dongxiang Earl, the tablet of Li Gan's mother will still be returned to the Li Family Ancestral Hall.
Both parties were not satisfied with the result, but the emperor had spoken clearly and since the arrangement had been made, Dongxiang Bo and Li Gan could only express their gratitude.
Li Gan left home, completely out of the protection of the Li family. But he became his father's bodyguard again. But no one knew whether his father's love for him was just a temporary thing or he was still thinking about him.
So, at the beginning, everyone was just watching, and no one was so blind as to dare to bully him.
The impact of this incident quickly spread to every powerful family. The backyards of many powerful families became battlefields where arrows were fired at them.
A few days later, my father suddenly issued an edict to appoint a crown prince.
Replaced. The back of my head feels so blue... I'll make a promise to never stay up late again!
