Chapter 26 I am innocent
Xu Gai was frightened and frightened, and was at a loss. He stood there, bent his back and bent, with a desperate expression of being slaughtered.
Cui Jiu became more and more angry. The father and son of Xu were not good people. The young man was so mean and the old man was so sly. This time he was so bad that he even had no face to go back to see the head of the family. But the situation in the White Horse has developed to the present, and Cui has to come forward and mediate. Otherwise, the censor would lose his life. Not only did his whole life's reputation fall here, but even Cui would be innocently wronged and forge a grudge against the huge force behind the censor for no reason.
Xu Gai's fear was indeed pretending. Since Cui let him in, it means that Cui knew the situation of the White Horse in front of him. Cui is not only the top wealthy family in Zhongtu, but also the number one wealthy family in Shandong. The situation of the White Horse has endangered the interests of the Shandong aristocratic group, and the Cui family's children are in the White Horse again, so they naturally have to intervene. Therefore, the one who decides is definitely not the family general, but the twelve ladies he has never met.
The Twelve Lady made this decision, which had nothing to do with the Xu family of Lihu, and had nothing to do with whether Xu Dalang participated in these two major cases. Therefore, Cui Jiu's words sounded shocking at first, but after careful consideration, there was nothing meaningful, and it was just to scare people. Xu Gai knew his son and believed that his son would not do evil and would cause trouble to the family. Who knew that Xu Shiji, who was young and vigorous, had a passionate heart, had a fever and impulse, and he took it seriously to destroy the three tribes. However, the only one who knew about the matter was the Twelve Lady, and the Twelve Lady kept silent. Even though Cui Jiu had some doubts, he had no evidence, and could only vent his resentment on Xu Gai.
Xu Gai was not panicked after all. After all, he was a tycoon in Henan, and he dealt with various powerful people all day long. His emotional intelligence was high. After letting Cui Jiu scold him for a few words, Xu Gai mustered up the courage to repent himself according to Cui Jiu's words, and then burst into tears for the kindness of Cui's protection. After talking nonsense, he finally came to the point.
Xu Gai said that his rebellious son was not good at his good fortune and made friends with a group of scoundrels in the world. Unexpectedly, these scoundrels are now lawless. Not only did they burn the white horse to save their gangster Zhai Rang, but they were also brave enough to kidnap the Censor in broad daylight. The county magistrate of Dongjun was desperate and sent someone to threaten him and ask him to pay and help him save the people. Otherwise, they would accus their rebellious son of being a thief and wipe out the Xu family in Lihu in one fell swoop. He was forced to be desperate, so he could only come to ask for help with shamelessness.
Cui Jiu sneered, "Where is your nerd?"
Cui Jiu has been suspicious of Xu Shiji and has been secretly looking for Xu Shiji, for fear that the Twelve Lady will suffer another accident.
The Twelve Lady's status in the Cui Mansion is very special, especially after the marriage, her temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. Cui is worried that something happened to her and she is more spoiled, so she lets her make trouble, but her protection is more strict, and Cui Jiu is the general responsible for protecting her family. The Twelve Lady's resignation handed over to Xu Shiji, the son of the merchant, and Cui Jiu certainly attaches importance to it and investigates Xu Shiji thoroughly, including him, Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and others in private. Xu Shiji is a rich second generation, but a young man is a thief.
In Cui Jiu's opinion, it was mainly because of his careless friendship and too rebellious. It was precisely because of his rebellious personality that he won the appreciation of the Twelve Lady and the Fenixed Friends. However, those who were close to Zhu were red and those who were close to Mo were black. Cui Jiu gradually discovered that the Twelve Lady's words and deeds were not only becoming more and more rebellious, but also becoming more and more outrageous. So he became alert to Xu Shiji. However, after a little negligence, he still "falsely" and fell a big fuck. Not only did he say that his face was gray, he might also have to "break his bones and lose his reputation for his lifetime.
Cui Jiu was extremely depressed and determined to find out the truth. But at this time, the white-haired prisoner appeared again. He actually held the censor in broad daylight and once again pushed the innocent Cui to the forefront. Do you think Cui was made of mud? You can pinch it as much as you want? Cui Jiu was so angry that he would get angry, but if he wanted to get out of this anger, he would first find Xu Shiji. Cui Jiu concluded that Xu Shiji must have participated in these two major cases in Baima City, and he also used the Twelve Lady and Cui. Is it unbearable? Do you really think you are a character, and you dare to play with Cui and the Twelve Lady in your palms?
Cui Jiu did not dare to question Twelve Lady, nor did he want to secretly force Twelve Lady to ask the maids around Twelve Lady, so as not to intensify conflicts with Twelve Lady or even have direct conflicts. Twelve Lady is the little master, he is a servant, but he is a servant with a high status in the Cui Mansion and has been authorized by the head of the family. Basically, he is a guardian of the little master throughout the process. The little master is very rebellious and often does some extraordinary things and even endangers the interests of the Cui family. How could the two sides have no conflicts?
Fortunately, Cui Jiu saved the Twelve Lady this time, and the conflict between the two sides eased. In addition, protecting Cui's interests was the top priority. Both sides rarely reached an agreement on interfering in the situation of Baima. Only then can Cui Jiu let go without any constraints.
The first thing Cui Jiu had to do was to find Xu Shiji. Only by finding Xu Shiji could he know the truth. Only by knowing the truth could he interfere in the situation of Baima, try his best to take into account the interests of all parties, and then protect the interests of Cui. But to his surprise, the county magistrate of Dongjun and the Henan noble forces behind him did not directly ask for help from Cui. He was obviously very concerned about Cui, worried that he would be rejected by Cui, which would lead to a severance of the retreat, so he chose the Lihu Xu as the mediation pathfinder.
At present, in Baima, the Cui family has the greatest power. With the boss here, who dares to stand up? Whoever stands up will lose the boss's face. He deliberately damages the interests of Cui family and will inevitably bear serious consequences. Therefore, the younger brothers will invite the boss first, and the boss will come up with the final solution and take care of the boss's interests first. Whether the younger brothers' interests can be finally settled is decided by the boss.
This is also good, both sides left room for maneuver. Cui Jiu obtained the consent of the Twelve Lady and opened the door to invite Xu Gai in, which was a positive response to the request of the county magistrate of Dongjun and the Henan noble forces behind him. As for whether Cui came forward to mediate, it depends on whether Cui Jiu can find out the truth in the shortest time.
Cui Jiu has a firm attitude and wants Xu Shiji.
Xu Gai also wanted Xu Shiji, but he did not know where Xu Shiji was. However, out of the mentality of protecting the calf, Xu Gai opened his mouth and replied, "The rebellious son is in the old house of Lihu."
Cui Jiu sneered, "Tomorrow, I will see your nerd son here."
Xu Gai was stunned. Lihu was more than 200 miles away from the White Horse, and nearly 500 miles back and forth. Unless he had wings flying, even if Xu Shiji was really in Lihu's old house, it would be impossible for him to arrive at the White Horse before tomorrow dusk.
The meaning of Cui Jiu's words is very straightforward. Today, your rioter must be involved in the case of hijacking the Censorate. He must be near the white horse. You will find him immediately. The door of my Cui Mansion has been opened for you, and it is clear that you want to protect your Xu family. Even if Xu Shiji is a "thief", he is also a "thief" in my Cui Mansion. Not everyone can kill him or even dare to kill him.
Xu Gai walked out of Cui Mansion dizzyly, and then returned to Xu's house in a daze. Along the way, what he was most worried about was his son, and what he was most afraid of was facing his parents. He was worried that his son would be in the wilderness and that the disaster would affect his parents. Although he was prepared for the disaster that his family would be destroyed, although he knew that the road he was taking was full of risks, he was still caught off guard by the speed of disaster coming so quickly. Could it be that after the death of Zhai and Shan, it was really my Xu family?
At this moment, he saw Xu Shiji smiling and his son who was almost crying. He felt like a dream for a moment, and then woke up, rushed up and hugged his son, opened his mouth and shouted, "Thank God!"
He sincerely sighed that at the critical moment of life and death, no one is worth relying on or trusting, and his destiny must be controlled by himself. However, the reason is so simple, but it cannot be done. The world is so big, how can there be a place for a wealthy businessman like the Lihu Xu family? He worked hard to earn huge wealth, but not happiness, not peace, but burden, but danger. How unfair is this world? When will the heaven give the world a fair and just world?
Xu Shiji empathized with it, hugged his father tightly, his eyes were moist, and he secretly sweared in his heart that in this life, we must let Xu rise in Middle-earth and give Xu a happy and peaceful future.
"Sir, you've made you suffer."
Xu Gai suddenly woke up from the chaos, grabbed his son's hand, ignored the surprised gaze of his family and servant, and hurriedly ran into the study.
After closing the door of the study tightly, he listened for a while, and after confirming that there was no one outside the study, Xu Gai sat down with his son and asked in a low voice, "Dalang, tell me, are you involved in these two major cases in Baima?"
Xu Shiji shook his head, shook his head desperately, and denied it. He would never admit it. Not only would he not admit it in front of his father, but he would not admit it even in front of the Twelve Lady. At any time in the future, he would not admit it until one day he believed that he had not participated in the White Horse Case, and then he would successfully reach the highest level of fraud.
This is what the White-haired Criminal asked him to do, because the White-haired Criminal told him that kidnapping and holding the Censor-in-Chief could save the Shan family, but it pushed Xu into a desperate situation. Because if these two major cases were to be settled, a group of people would definitely be killed. Since the Shan family could not be killed, Cui was finally under pressure and was very likely to compromise and use Xu as a victim to protect his own interests. Therefore, Xu Shiji must appear in Baima City openly and tell all the powerful people of Baima that I, Xu Shiji, are innocent. This is to threaten Cui. If you take my Xu family as a victim, I will take a cushion before dying, and also expose the fact that the Twelve Lady was hostage and push you Cui family to the forefront: In order to save the Twelve Lady's life, Cui family surrendered to the threat of evil thieves and forced the officials of the East County to let them go, which resulted in the culprit being hostage, causing the situation in the White Horse to get out of control. In this way, Cui family is in a passive position, and Cui's political opponents will inevitably take this opportunity to "surround the world", and Cui's interests will inevitably be damaged.
So Xu Shiji went home openly and told Xu Gai openly, "I'm innocent!"
The next morning, Xu Shiji went to Cui Mansion alone, and in front of Cui Jiu, he also openly proclaimed himself, "I'm innocent!"
Cui Jiu was furious. Only then did he realize that Xu Shiji was not only mean, but also very sloppy, but also extremely despicable and shameless.
"Do you dare to confront a certain lady?"
Xu Shiji smiled slightly, calmly, "Why don't you dare?"
