Chapter 146 Upheaval at home
The autumn rain was like silk, constantly falling from the sky covered with dark clouds, making the not-so-human official road more deserted, leaving only three or five carriages and pedestrians rushing towards Jiangcheng County.
This naturally includes the carriage where Li Ling is. In order to get on the road as soon as possible, Li Moyun, as the coachman, also whipped two whips on the horse's buttocks, which made the post horse continue to accelerate and caused a little shock to the carriage. However, this is much more stable than when Li Ling first went to the capital city.
Such a fast Mercedes finally made Li Ling and the others come to the familiar Jiangcheng County before they expected. Looking at the familiar city walls and gates, Li Ling's face showed a joyful smile: "I finally went home. Mo Yun, do you think I should go to the exam next year?"
"Well? Why did the young master ask this? You are already a juren, so isn't it natural to go to Beijing to take the exam?" Li Moyun slowed down his car and turned his head strangely and asked.
"I have thought a lot all the way, and I always feel that there is no need to go to Luoyang to take the imperial examination again. Because the first point is that with my current talent, I can only pass the imperial examination. Those candidates who take the imperial examination are better than me, why bother to spend this time?
"Second point, I think it's good to be just a juren. At least with this identity, I'll be in the world without any obstacles. It's enough to do any business in the future. I can already live a prosperous and peaceful life with my family. There's really no difference between being an official or not."
Looking at the walls of Jiangcheng County, Li Ling slowly expressed his thoughts. To be honest, no matter in his past and present, he is not a person with great ambitions. As long as he has his own warm home and live his life happily and peacefully, he will be satisfied with marrying a wife and having children. There is no need to get into the turbulent officialdom to fight...
Li Moyun fell into silence for a while and said, "Since the young master thinks this is right, then do it."
"The only thing that makes me feel guilty is my promise to Brother Xu. I'm afraid I'll lose the appointment this time." Li Ling exhaled a long breath and had a decision in his heart - in the future, he would do business and write books as a juren, and be his own rich man.
Thinking of this, he felt more relaxed, and he wanted to see his relatives immediately, tell his sister about his decision, and tell Yue'er that the family would not be separated from then on.
This kind of thought was not until they entered the city and came to the door of the new house that they suddenly retracted. Li Ling was surprised to find that there were two county corps servants guarding the left and right in front of his house. They even held sticks in their hands. Not far away, there was a familiar figure wandering there, which was Gu Gang!
Is something wrong at home? Li Lingxin was so nervous that he had no reason. Before the carriage could stop, he lifted the curtain and walked out. At the same time, the few people in front of the door also saw him. They were still a little alert and slowly relaxed, stepped forward and bowed with fists: "I have seen Li Dian... Master Li!"
"What's going on? Why are you guarding in front of my house? But is the lord inside?" Li Ling didn't bother to greet them at this time, and immediately asked.
"Of course, I am in the county government office. We are ordered to come here to protect the young master's family." One of them quickly said with a smile.
"Protect my family? What happened to my family?" Li Ling's heart skipped a beat and asked anxiously.
"This..." Just when the two officers were slightly embarrassed, the closed courtyard gate had been opened. Li Ling turned around and saw Yue'er standing in front of the door, looking at him with red eyes. After a while, the little girl cried and rushed over quickly. Li Ling was so scared that she hugged her with her hands, patted her back and comforted her: "Yue'er, don't cry, are you wronged? Now that my brother is back, I will definitely make the decision for you."
"Woooo..." Yue'er seemed to be about to pour out all the grievances in her heart. After crying for a while, she said thrustly: "Brother, you are finally back. Sister... My sister was taken away and Uncle Tong was also injured. I'm so scared... Woooooooooo..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Brother is back, I'm going to do everything." Li Ling's body trembled slightly because of these words, but he still comforted his sister softly and took her back into the house first.
Li Moyun, who had just jumped off the shaft of the car, was also stunned by this sudden remark. After a while, he hurriedly turned around and sent the things in the car into the house one by one. As for the sudden and hurrying away from the people next to him, he couldn't care about it.
A room in the front yard was Li Tong's bedroom. At this moment, he was injured by one leg and lay on the bed. He looked at Li Ling with shame on his face: "Young master, it's useless. I couldn't protect the lady. I actually let her be snatched back by the Wei family... I originally wanted to stop it, but more than ten of them suddenly attacked. I was no match for them at all..."
Li Ling half-wrugged her sister, who was still thrusting her, and even said something incomplete, her face became extremely ugly.
This time, the high school juren went home happily. He thought he would be able to reunite with his family and live the happy life he wanted. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the house, he heard such a shocking change, which left him in a trance.
Until he saw Li Tong struggling to turn over and kowtow, he shouted: "It's all my fault. Young Master, please punish me!" He hurriedly stepped forward and gently supported the other party: "Uncle Tong, don't say that. You are only one person and have never learned martial arts. You naturally cannot be your opponent. It's not your fault, but if you want to blame it, blame the Wei family..."
When talking about the Wei family, Li Ling's heart was irritated again. He thought of the way she forced her smile when she saw her sister, and the miserable situation when she learned about her later that she was beaten and scolded by Wei Cheng but had nowhere to hide, and had to take care of her daughter. He thought of her being still restless for a while after she was taken back, but still taking care of herself and her family... Why, such a gentle and beautiful woman would encounter such injustice? Why, as her younger brother, she could not really protect her from being hurt?
In the end, countless thoughts turned into one sentence: "Is it really the sister that the Wei family members came to snatch?"
"Yes, I recognize that one of the leaders is the manager of the Wei family..." Li Tong said with a sad expression, "It was also him who had some concerns at that time. Those people did not continue to attack me after breaking one of my legs."
"They didn't make things difficult for Yue'er, right?" Li Ling suddenly thought of something, and quickly straightened his sister who was throwing into his arms and looked at it carefully. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw that there were no scars on her face.
"No, Yue'er and Tangtang were not at home at that time..."
After Li Tong's closer explanation, Li Ling realized the incident before and after the incident. It was August 16th. On that day, the Gu family sent someone to invite Yue'er and the others to visit their homes. However, because Li Le'er still had some chores at home, he did not go there. He only asked Yue'er to take Tangtang over and walk around, and Li Tong also took the initiative to stay at home to help.
Then as dusk approached, more than 20 people rushed into the Li family like a ferocious spirit, and directly pulled the shocked Li Le'er out. Li Tong shouted and stepped forward to stop him, but was quickly knocked down by these guys. Finally, he was broken and his legs were hard to get up again...
The neighbors around them were also driven out after hearing the movement, but after seeing the fierce look of these people, they did not dare to step forward. Moreover, according to what they later said, there was an army of dozens of neatly-clad men guarding the entrance of the alley, which made them even less daring to act rashly.
"Fortunately, Yue'er and Tangtang were not at home at that time, otherwise... But even so, Yue'er has been frightened all day long for the past half month, and I can't get out of bed... Fortunately, the county master later sent someone to guard the door, so I felt a little relieved." Li Tong said, and blamed himself: "After all, I'm useless and I can't protect the lady..."
Li Ling's expression calmed down at this time and hurriedly comforted him: "Uncle Tong, you have done everything you should do. If you really want to say it, you should blame me. If I haven't gone to the provincial capital... you should be relieved first. I will definitely save my sister, I promise!"
After a few words finally comforted Li Tong, and Yue'er leaned in his arms and fell asleep. Looking at the little girl's face full of tears and her face was much thinner than before, Li Ling felt distressed again. It was obvious that Yue'er had indeed suffered from fear in the past half month. Until now, her brother came back, she could truly fall asleep with confidence.
"Young Master, what should I do next?" Li Moyun, who had just understood everything, was also burning with flames in his eyes, "Will we go to Jiangbei to grab Sister Le back?"
Li Le'er is so gentle. After coming to the house, she took good care of everyone. Even Li Moyun took care of him like a younger brother. At this moment, the clothes Li Moyun wore were still sewn by her. In this way, Li Moyun gradually developed a few sibling-like feelings for her, but she didn't think about it carefully before. But now, after knowing her experience, he just wanted to go to Jiangbei immediately and save the person.
Li Ling also wanted to save his sister immediately, but reason told him that this matter should not be reckless. A few months ago, although he was able to successfully rescue his sister from Jiangbei, it was because the Wei family had no preparations. In terms of power and ability, he was actually far from an opponent of such a big family.
And this time, they decisively demonstrated their strength. At this time, Li Ling ran to Jiangbei again and could only fall into the trap, and he could not even see his sister. But why was Li Ling willing to accept such a fact?
