Chapter 0005 Hidden Plot
On the way back, Li Weiguo sat in the car and was depressed, thinking about his thoughts.
John was also a person next to him. He knew that Li Weiguonian was worried about his wife, so he persuaded: "You don't have to worry too much. Those who can break into a place like Tianxiang Pavilion to save the invaded woman are not bad people. Your wife should be safe now. I will say hello to the prefect of Jiangning and ask him to send someone to help find it. You should meet your wife soon."
"Thank you John." Li Weiguo thanked him. Thinking of his father in prison, he was afraid that he would suffer these days when he was old, so he continued: "I would like to say hello when I saw the prefect of Jiangning and ask him to take care of his father in prison. Although I can't rescue my father for the time being, I don't want my father to suffer in prison."
"You are a filial son. I like to deal with such people. No problem, I will cover it with me." John said with a smile. This is just a favor and he is willing to do it.
But for Li Weiguo, this is a great kindness, so be grateful.
"Thank you!" Li Weiguo thanked again, and he felt a little more favorable to John.
In the next few days, Li Weiguo stayed in the church and did not go out, but he kept inquiring about the news outside, mainly about Fu Shanxiang's whereabouts and his father's lawsuit.
John was very trustworthy. He even went to the prefect's office in person to inform Li Weiguo about his relationship with him and the British Empire in person, and asked the prefect to send someone to find Fu Shanxiang's whereabouts, and Li Yanming, who was well-mannered in prison. When the prefect of Jiangning saw the British coming forward, he naturally did not dare to neglect it. He did not need to explain in detail.
Li Weiguo secretly sent someone to capture the turtle slave from Tianxiang Pavilion and came back to interrogate. He learned that two groups of people were fighting in Tianxiang Pavilion that night. One group wanted to kill Fu Shanxiang, and the other group rescued Fu Shanxiang.
According to the description of Guinu, Li Weiguo guessed that Fu Shanxiang should have been rescued by the Jianghu people. John did not have a relationship with the Jianghu people for the time being, so he was unable to provide help for the time being. However, John went to the prefect's office and helped to find out some inside information about Li Weiguo's father's imprisonment. The Jiangning prefect always savored the Li family's filial piety all year round, and there was no reason to treat the Li family like this. The mastermind behind the scenes came from a big figure in the capital. It was related to the family's family of Li Weiguo's wife Fu Shanxiang, which involved the power struggle between Emperor Daoguang and several princes. Fu Shanxiang's father stood in the wrong team and fought with the Xianfeng Emperor's Party. How could he not defeat and affect his family?
Li Weiguo had a premonition, but was still surprised. He knew it was difficult to rescue his father. Fortunately, he chose to take advantage of the British and had hope of success.
But Li Weiguo also knew in his heart that cooperating with the British was tantamount to seeking a skin to the tiger. He didn't know what conditions the British would offer to help, but no matter what, Li Weiguo was sure to save his father at any cost.
He was alone in his previous life, and God gave him mercy on this life, so he would never allow his relatives to be hurt again.
My mother has been living and ate and lived in the church these days, and she had someone to help take care of her, and her complexion has improved. Especially when she heard that her daughter-in-law Fu Shanxiang had been rescued, she was relieved. Her son was filial and asked for medical treatment for her mother. Now she has found a stable job. Because of her work, her husband in prison has also been taken care of, and everything is getting better, which naturally makes her mood improve.
Li Weiguo claimed that he had received baptism in the UK, so he had to participate in various church activities. Most of the British believers in China were missionaries and had no clergy, so genuine believers like Li Weiguo who were "baptized" were particularly important. Pastor Fidan and other believers invited him to discuss life together every day.
Li Weiguo knew that he had pain, so he could only make him fat. Fortunately, he had a memory of his whole life. He said that he was very serious and thoughtful, but it greatly benefited Pastor Fidan and other believers and became confidants.
On the road outside the church, Li Weiguo was quietly walking alone and thinking about things, planning in his mind how to re-engage the old business of his past lives. He wanted to continue writing the glory of the fake-money empire in this life and formulate money rules for dominating the world. He no longer wanted to survive in the cracks of the great powers, and to find a feasible way out for the great rejuvenation of China, so as to no longer be bullied by the great powers and no longer be slaves to others.
Li Weiguo had a great plan and had to plan carefully. At this moment, a sarcastic shout suddenly came from behind.
"Hey, that boy ahead, stop!"
Li Weiguo stopped hearing the sound, turned around and looked over, but saw a four-wheeled carriage that combines Chinese and Western styles stop beside him, with a middle-aged coachman and two women, one white and one green.
The woman in white was wearing a straw hat, with a long veil, and couldn't see her appearance clearly. She was dressed luxuriously, and looked like a lady from a big family. The woman in green next to her was dressed in an average dress, about twelve or twelve years old, with sharp eyes, and she looked like a maid, and it was her who made a sound.
"Miss? Is there anything wrong with me?" Li Weiguo frowned slightly, and naturally he would not have a good face when he was called out rudely.
The woman in white had no reaction. However, the woman in green had her eyes lit up when she saw Li Weiguo, and she smiled maliciously: "It's you!"
Li Weiguo wondered and asked, "Does the girl recognize me?"
"I will recognize your ashes after burning your skin!" The woman in green gave Li Weiguo a bad look and continued: "Aren't you the young master of the Li family, Li Weiguo!"
"Don't curse me like this, are we very familiar with each other? But why don't I recognize you?" Li Weiguo said with a wry smile. The other party actually recognized him, but why did he have no impression of her? Judging from the other party's fierce appearance, have he offended her?
"Xiaohe, don't be rude!" At this time, the woman in white with a veil suddenly spoke, and she heard her say, "I'm sorry, the little woman is blind and I don't know if she met Mr. Li. Xiaohe is a servant who is used to indulging in daily life. She just now said rude to Mr. Li and hope Mr. Li will not blame him."
Listening to the voice of the woman in white, Li Weiguo thought that the other party was a top beauty, but it turned out to be a blind man. No wonder he covered his face with a hat.
Since the other party apologized, he naturally wouldn't care, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, this lady is polite. I won't be as knowledgeable as her."
"As far as I know?" The woman in green named Xiaohe was unhappy. She looked up and down at Li Weiguo and sneered: "You thought you were still the eldest master of the Li family in the past. But a beggar who wandered on the street, even her own wife could be willing to sell her brothel and not be with you. You are worthy of being a human being, so just look for a tree lanyard to hang it!"
I'll circle you, when did I offend you? I want you to slander like this.
Li Weiguo's face suddenly sank, Long Younspark, furious, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter how you slander me. A man doesn't have the same knowledge as you, a little woman, but you can't slander my wife. She has a noble personality. Even if I am a beggar, she will never leave her. If I hadn't been sick and had no money to treat her, she sold herself in a brothel to save me. This is not her fault, but she has a deep friendship with me. If you dare to slander her again, beware that someone would put you in a sack in the river and feed the fish in the middle of the night."
"Who are you scaring? I thought I was afraid of you?" Xiao He was startled and immediately breathed, but she still stubbornly pushed her mouth.
"If you don't believe me, try it!" Li Weiguo shouted, his eyes full of murderous aura.
Facing Li Weiguo's murderous look, Xiaohe felt scared and had a cold sweat behind her back. She was used to being spoiled by the lady on weekdays and was a little snobbish. She thought that the down-and-out Li Weiguo was easy to bully.
"Xiaohe, you are arrogant! Don't be rude!" The woman in white immediately scolded loudly, and at the same time said to Li Weiguodao: "Xiaohe has offended Mr. Li without restraint. I hope Mr. Li will not be as knowledgeable as her. The little woman is blind and not blind. She can feel that what Mr. Li says is not false. If you are so protective of Sister Shanxiang, it is not in vain that she has given you. The little woman is ashamed of herself. If it were a little girl, she would probably only cry."
"Could this lady know my Shanxiang?" Li Weiguo was surprised and looked at the woman in white. He felt that the other party was talking very strangely. He called Sister Shanxiang, obviously knowing Fu Shanxiang, but he compared himself with Fu Shanxiang, which made people puzzled.
"I..." The woman in white wanted to speak but stopped.
Xiaohe next to him suddenly interrupted, "Miss, don't be fooled by his nonsense! He even dares to deceive Pastor Fidan now, pretending to be a foreigner fooling people. Others don't know, Miss, don't you know, where has he been to the UK? How could there be a truth?"
I...@#¥%...&**!!!
Li Weiguo grinded his teeth and resisted the urge to curse. He was so angry that he really wanted to slap this girl named Xiaohe. When did I become a fake foreigner again?
Seeing Li Weiguo staring at Xiaohe with fierce eyes, Xiaohe also glared back: "What, am I wrong? You said you are a fake foreigner and you are wronged? Don't tell me that you have been to the UK, sows will climb trees after hearing this!"
My day...
Li Weiguo collapsed and almost spit out an old blood. At the same time, he was shocked. It would be fine if the other party knew him, but he knew his background clearly. This was amazing.
The key is that people know his affairs well, but he doesn't know the other person at all, so how can he not let him collapse?
"Who are you? Why do you know so much about me?" Li Weiguo said sternly. If the other party was his enemy, wouldn't he have to stand upright and wait for someone to chop?
Hearing Li Weiguo's tone was not good, the woman in white thought he was angry and seemed a little nervous, so she hurriedly explained: "Young Master Li, don't be too careful. The little woman's name is Shen Ziyan. Her father has business dealings with Ling Zun, so we know something about the young master, and we have no malice."
Li Weiguo sneered: "Miss Shen is as clear as his business dealings, as if he had deliberately investigated it!"
"This..." The woman in white seemed very afraid of Li Weiguo's appearance. She always spoke hesitantly, wanting to speak but stopping.
But Xiaohe, the maid next to her, ran the train with her mouth full of words, and spoke sharply, saying whatever she wanted.
"What's wrong with investigating you? Your parents wanted to marry you into the Shen family back then, so the Shen family naturally had to investigate their future son-in-law. Isn't this possible?" Xiao He said in anger, with an astonishing sentence.
"Xiaohe, what are you talking about?" Chen Ziyan immediately said coquettishly, her delicate body trembled violently and her breathing was rapid. If she untied her veil, she would definitely see her blushing to the bottom of her neck. Even so, she would want to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
"Where am I talking nonsense?" Xiao He knew that he had missed his mouth, so he simply ignored it. She had such a personality and felt uncomfortable, so he blurted out: "Miss, you care about him, but he pretended not to know anything. Xiao He really couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to teach him a lesson!"
"Shut up!" Chen Ziyan was angry and shouted sternly. She stopped Xiaohe from continuing, but bowed slightly to Li Weiguo and said, "Young Master Li, it's all the past. At that time, our parents made a marriage for us..."
"Marriage? Are you saying that there is a engagement between us? How is this possible? Why don't I know at all?" Before Chen Ziyan could continue, Li Weiguo became anxious. This was a huge matter. He only knew that his wife was Fu Shanxiang and didn't want anything to be sorry for her, even if it was just a misunderstanding.
"Don't you know?" Chen Ziyan and Xiaohe were almost surprised in unison.
"I should know?" Li Weiguo asked back, with a dazed expression, of course he didn't know.
"Yes, they can't let you and Sister Shanxiang know about this. I should have guessed it long ago, that I have been misunderstanding." Chen Ziyan suddenly fell silent, and then sighed: "Uncle Zhang, let's go!"
"Miss, are we not going to church for worship?" asked the coachman named Uncle Zhang.
"I'm very tired, I won't go! Go back home!" Chen Ziyan said in a trembling voice. If she lifted the veil, she could see two lines of tears on her beautiful face.
Looking at the carriage leaving, Li Weiguo was dazed and was scolded by Xiaohe for no reason. He still was confused when he recalled Chen Ziyan's words.
