Chapter 73: Love has an end (Please collect and read)

After finishing speaking.

Li Tongshi raised his head and carefully observed Wei Tu's reaction after hearing this.

The King of Mingzhou was not a prince conferred by the Zheng Kingdom, but one of the 32 rebels in Guangyuan Prefecture who rebelled against the king.

Her son Li Xingye defected to the King of Mingzhou and became an aide. This was a crime of treason. According to the laws of the State of Zheng, the nine tribes were to be punished.

When ordinary people hear this kind of thing, they will probably think it is a disaster. Not only will they not help, but they will send her to the government for punishment.

Involved in the crime of rebellion—

Even officials are not exempt from sin.

What surprised Li Tongshi a little was that when Wei Tu heard the news, he was not shocked or angry, but had a calm expression on his face.

“Send off guests.”

Wei Tu sipped his tea, looked at the maid aside, and spoke briefly.

He had to clean up his kindness to the Li family in the past thirty years.

If the Li family is doing a small favor this time and remembering their old friendship, he can still help, but it involves the crime of rebellion... Even if he has the ability, he doesn't want to get himself into trouble.

The voice fell.

Li Tongshi immediately made a plop, knelt down on the ground, and begged: "The old woman came to ask the guards for help, not because she was lucky and hoped that the guards would rescue the old woman and her family..."

“I just ask the guards to help me and save one of the old woman’s grandchildren.”

“Don’t let my Li family lose its incense.”

As if thinking of something, Li Tong quickly added, "The old woman has two grandchildren, they are from the second family, and they have nothing to do with that evil creature Xingye!"

“A grandson?” Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not say any words of rejection immediately.

Li Tongshi was able to "escape" from the county jail not because of his great ability, but because of the help of his "old friends".

In other words, the situation is not so critical that it is difficult to help.

The crime of rebellion is serious.

But the officials who work are still local officials after all, and they have the ability to show favoritism.

It’s just that the task is too big for the officials of Qingshan County to agree to. They must get his approval before they are willing to help.

In other words.

Helping the Li family may lead to personal injury, but this danger is still within a certain controllable range.

Otherwise, Li Tongshi would not be able to escape.

besides.

There is another possibility.

A certain official didn't like him and wanted to set up this situation to frame him.

“It’s just a grandson. With my connections, I can rescue him, but it will inevitably fall into the hands of officials in Qingshan County...”

"This handle is not a small handle, but a handle for treason."

“Don’t be careless!”

“If you use martial arts...”

Wei Tu thought secretly.

With his martial arts prowess, it shouldn't be difficult to secretly go to the county jail to rescue someone.

But he didn’t want to go to the county jail and risk himself because of this incident.

…

The living room was quiet for several quarters of an hour.

Wei Tu shook his head and made up his mind. He first asked Xinghua to take two ingots of silver as a package and gave them to Li Tong.

Then he said "see the guest off" to the maid.

Li Xingye doesn't care about his wife, children, and children, so why should he, an outsider, care about the lives of the Li family.

A grandchild is easy to save.

But the subsequent disposal and arrangements are all very risky. He also has a wife and children, how can he put his family in danger because of this matter.

“Be on guard, Lord Wei…”

“Is it really not possible?”

At the back door of Wei's house, the gray-haired Li Tong stepped over the threshold. She didn't give up. She turned around and looked at Wei Tu intently, pursed her lips a few times, and asked. In the nearly 30 years since they have been together, Wei Tu has always been "responsive" to the Li family's requests. This is why she regards Wei Tu as a life-saving straw.

Unexpectedly, Wei Tu refused so simply this time, leaving no room for redemption.

Listen to this.

Wei Tu was silent for a few breaths, and then he said, "If grandma had begged me more than twenty years ago, even though Wei was afraid of the relationship, he would still have helped the Li family get through this disaster."

“However, it’s different now.”

“Sentiment will be exhausted.”

Having said that, in fact, Wei Tu thought to himself that if the Li family had been in such trouble more than twenty years ago, he would not have been willing to help the Li family solve the problem.

Hang your head on your waist to be a "benefactor", even a person who knows the meaning of friendship would find it difficult to do so.

What's more, his relationship with the Li family was not very pleasant.

At that time, if he had not redeemed his life in advance, he and the Li family would have become enemies long ago.

“The affection...is exhausted...” Hearing this, Li Tongshi murmured to herself and sighed several times.

The Li family said they were grateful to Wei Tu for his life, but in fact they bought and kept slaves during the famine years when human lives were low.

Three years ago, her son Li Xingye wrote an "anti-poetry" in a restaurant, and the whole family was imprisoned. They relied on Wei Tu's connections to survive and not squander the family wealth.

One life is worth one life.

As for the debt, it should be that the Li family owes Wei Tu his life.

“The old woman resigned.”

Li Tongshi gave a half salute, turned around and left through the back door of Wei's house.

With a few breaths, she disappeared around the corner of the street.

…

After Li Tong left the Wei residence.

Wei Tu was not relaxed about this. After he ordered his servant to close the backyard door, he swayed up to the eaves and followed Li Tong from a distance.

Sheng Mien, fight with Mi Enqi.

He did not help Li Tongshi to help the Li family out of trouble this time. If Li Tongshi had a grudge, she would report to the government office and say that he also had the intention of treason.

Then he will be in danger.

“Besides me, is there anyone else following Li Tongshi? Could it be someone from Qingshan County Government?”

After following Li Tongshi for a while, Wei Tu suddenly discovered that there was a thin middle-aged man secretly following Li Tongshi fifty steps away.

He concluded that this middle-aged man was most likely sent by officials from Qingshan County.

The purpose of Qingshan County officials in sending this middle-aged man should be that they were worried about Li Tong's failure to seek help and would hold a grudge and bite him randomly.

Half an hour later.

Li Tongshi walked near the entrance of the government office.

Seeing this, Wei Tu, who was standing on the eaves, suddenly showed a cold look in his eyes. He turned his hand and found a green leaf on his fingertips.

This green leaf was picked by him just now from an elm tree in a house with Li Tongshi.

—If Li Tongshi reported to the official next, he would definitely not hold back and take the first step to kill Li Tongshi.

Then, Wei Tu glanced at the middle-aged man following Li Tongshi.

Like him, this middle-aged man had a fierce look in his eyes, a short blade in his hand, and he obviously had a murderous intention.

Li Tongshi stayed at the entrance of the government office for a short while. She climbed the steps several times, but after climbing up, she went down again.

Hand did not knock on the government office door.

After Li Tong left, Wei Tu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Killing Li Tong, an acquaintance, was a test for him.

 Could it be otherwise?

It is also a blessing.

Wei Tu continued to follow Li Tongshi and the middle-aged man. After seeing the scene of Li Tongshi leaving the government office and being arrested by the county government police - he immediately tried to take away the two ingots of silver given to Li Tongshi, and then Withdraw and leave.
