Chapter 20: The Bad Friends Finally Appear
Lu Jingyao didn't sleep the whole night yesterday, but Wei Changtian was full of energy.
A physical battle before going to bed and a mental battle after going to bed.
Even so, after waking up, I still didn't feel sleepy and my mind was clear. I can only say that the "Dream Road" is truly magical.
Lu Jingyao was not there during breakfast. According to Yuan'er, she was "feeling unwell and had no appetite." As for the exact reason, only God knows.
After gulping down the nourishing soup that Qiuyun had specifically asked the chef to make, Wei Changtian wiped his mouth and prepared to set off to Xuan Jingsi to continue being beaten.
But at this moment, the doorman of the Wei Mansion suddenly ran over to report that a young master Li had arrived.
"Mr. Li?"
Wei Changtian was stunned and asked, "Which Mr. Li?"
The doorman was a little surprised: "It's Mr. Li Yang from the Li Mansion."
"Oh...let him in."
Wei Changtian nodded, having already remembered who this Li Yang was.
Every villain has some lackeys.
The main function is to highlight the arrogance and domineering nature of the villain so that the protagonist can better slap him in the face and show off.
The previous master had many followers like this, but the only one whose name was mentioned in the book was Li Yang.
His father Li Kan was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, which was equivalent to the second-in-command of the Supreme Court in his previous life. His official position was neither high nor low, it depended on who he was compared with.
Thanks to his family's connections, Li Yang also got a position in the Dali Temple. However, like Wei Changtian, he was a salary collector and only did two things at most on a daily basis.
1: Visit a brothel.
2: Go to a brothel with Wei Changtian.
To sum it up simply, he is an uneducated second-generation official.
His only advantage is that he is loyal enough to Wei Changtian. In the novel, he even takes the lead in causing trouble for Xiao Feng.
As for the ending...of course the family is broken up and everyone is dead.
…
"Brother Wei! How come you look so energetic after not seeing you for a few days?"
"Alas, ever since we caused such a commotion in Tanchun Tower last time, my father has confined me to my room. I was only able to escape today."
"I heard that you have married Lu Jingyao? I was still locked up at home at that time, so I came here specially today to give you a gift to celebrate!"
"I know you are not short of money, so I stole from my father a list of the wives of criminal officials who will be taken to the Jiaofangsi in the near future!"
"There are quite a few perfect bodies here. If we study them carefully, we will surely come out on top..."
The man with a rather vulgar appearance was spitting all over the place and waving the papers in his hands, making a whistling sound.
The more Wei Changtian listened, the more confused he became.
I didn't expect that Li Yang is such a chatterbox. He has been talking like crazy since we met.
And what kind of magical operation is it to give a "list of young ladies" as a wedding gift? After waiting for a long time, Li Yang still didn't stop talking, so he finally couldn't help but coughed and interrupted, "Hey, Brother Li, I accept the list."
"But I have to go to the Mirror Department now..."
"I'll go with you!"
Li Yang said warmly: "It just so happens that I have something important to discuss with Brother Wei on the way!"
Wei Changtian: "Okay..."
The carriage was quickly ready, with Wang Er acting as the coachman, while Wei Changtian and Li Yang sat opposite each other in the carriage.
After the carriage had been running for a while, Wei Changtian asked helplessly, "Brother Li, what's the matter?"
"Oh, that's it!"
Li Yang came closer and lowered his voice: "Yesterday when I went to look for the list of women, I happened to see a complaint from my father. It accused you, Brother Wei, of seven or eight crimes, including killing people in the street, robbing women, and causing trouble."
"Um?"
After hearing this, Wei Changtian instinctively tensed up for a moment, but soon relaxed.
The present is different from the past. With my current status, am I still afraid of being sued? "Brother Wei, I'm afraid this time is different!"
Li Yang seemed to see that he didn't care, and said anxiously: "Ordinarily, such a matter should have been suppressed by the government long ago, but this time it was handed over to the Dali Temple. I'm afraid it will be tried by the three courts."
"Really?"
Wei Changtian was stunned, and after a moment's silence, he asked, "Then who do you think is targeting me, Brother Li?"
"It must be the Liu family!"
Li Yang slapped his thigh angrily and said confidently: "Brother Wei humiliated Liu Zongliang so badly last time, this bastard will never swallow this humiliation!"
"This time the Liu family must be venting their anger for him!"
Yanagi Soryo...
Although he was unfamiliar with the name, Wei Changtian knew something about the Liu family.
Each of the three major families in Daning - Liu, Wei, and Xu - has a joke circulating among the people.
If you want to invite the God of Wealth into your home, ask the Xu family first if they allow it.
I am not afraid of ghosts or gods, I am only afraid of the souls under the knife of the Wei family.
If you want to transform yourself from a sparrow into a goose, you should use willow catkins to make cotton.
Although the rumors are exaggerated, they can basically reflect the situation of the three companies.
One has money, one has a knife, and one has power.
Judging from comprehensive strength, the powerful Liu family is undoubtedly the strongest. The head of the family is the prime minister of the dynasty, and his power is second only to that of the emperor.
However, the Liu family has always been at odds with the Wei family, and coupled with the previous owner's lawless character... Wei Changtian has roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter.
It is estimated that the previous owner had a conflict with a young member of the Liu family named Liu Zongliang at some point in time, and the Liu family wanted to retaliate, so they instigated some people behind the scenes to sue him.
Anyway, there are a lot of such evidences against the former master, and any two of them are enough to sentence him to immediate execution.
Of course, it is definitely impossible to behead them, but it is enough to disgust the Wei family.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian's expression finally became serious.
"Brother Li, thank you for telling me this."
"Brother Wei, what are you talking about!"
Li Yang said proudly: "Your business is my business, I will not stand idly by!"
"I will go and beg my father tonight. If there really is a joint trial by the three courts, the Dali Temple will definitely support the Wei family!"
"There's no rush for this."
Wei Changtian shook his head and thought for a while before saying, "I want to visit your father in the next few days."
"Meet my dad?"
Li Yang was stunned: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "It's hard to explain it in one or two sentences. Let's talk about it together when the time comes."
"All right."
Li Yang nodded: "Then I will inform Brother Wei of the time after I talk to my father."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Wei Changtian patted Li Yang on the shoulder, and the carriage slowly stopped at this time.
Looking at the three characters "Xuan Jing Si" written in a flamboyant style on the plaque, Li Yang suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, Brother Wei, are you here to see Lord Wei?"
"no."
"Then why are you here? Are you forced to come on duty by your family?"
"well……"
Wei Changtian didn't explain. He just sighed, jumped off the carriage and walked towards the martial arts hall.
Li Yang scratched his head in confusion behind him, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed happily.
Then soon he was stunned by the scene before him.
Why did these people dare to beat Brother Wei? Did they want to die? Why did Brother Wei let them beat him? I always felt something was wrong...
Now that I think about it, Wei Changtian's reaction in the car just now seemed a little strange...
Could it be that...
This is the married man??? (End of this chapter)
