Chapter 11: Conspiracy (9)

Zeng Tai was shocked after hearing Di Renjie's narration. After a long time, he sighed: "Isn't this a tragic disaster?!" Di Renjie smiled sadly: "Who said it was not? I have experienced many tragedies in my life, but this is the only thing that is so painful that it happens to friends who are closely related to me." Zeng Tai was frightened and lowered his head without saying a word. After a long time, he heard Di Renjie saying to himself: "In fact, Li Wei is not dead."

"Ah?!" Zeng Tai opened his mouth wide and glared at Di Renjie, unable to speak. Di Renjie patted his arm and sighed softly, "You have met him several times." Zeng Tai stuttered: "Have you met...ah? Could it be?" Di Renjie nodded: "Yes, you guessed that Master Le Chen is Li Wei, the former Prince of Runan, the only survivor in the Li Yun case." "But hasn't Li Wei been executed?"

Di Renjie sighed deeply and said, "It was not Li Wei who was executed, but someone who was in his name and died for him." Zeng Tai was even more shocked and his eyes widened: "How is this possible? Who would die for others?" Di Renjie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yes, there is such a fool in this world. The fool who died for Li Wei is his good friend Xie Rucheng." It turned out that Xie Rucheng and Li Wei were about to be a member of Li Wei and looked a little similar. After the Li Yun case, Li Wei immediately took Xu Jingzhi to Bianzhou, where Xie Rucheng and Li Dezhuan were imprisoned. In order to seize the merits, the presiding official at that time had not even tried the trial, and he escorted Xie Rucheng, who was pretending to be Li Wei, to kill the head of the court.

Zeng Tai asked in confusion: "But why does Xie Rucheng want to die on behalf of others? Also, if he was killed on behalf of Li Wei, who would stay in the Xie family?" Di Renjie sighed: "Li Wei himself, who stayed in the Xie family. He ran away before the officers and soldiers broke in. As for what Xie Rucheng wanted to die on behalf of Li Wei, do you know the spirit of famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and valued friendship and neglected life and death. Xie Rucheng was the Xie family in Chen County, and was full of the character of famous scholars. He and Li Wei were friends of life and death, and he also knew that Li Wei was wronged, so he was willing to save him with his life. Of course... Xie Rucheng did this for other reasons." At this point, Di Renjie suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought again.

Zeng Tai looked at Di Renjie, and didn't even dare to show his anger, so he just waited quietly. After a long time, Di Renjie woke up from his memories and smiled calmly at Zeng Tai, "Li Wei was greedy for life, but he didn't expect that he would implicate Xie Rucheng's family and his wife and children. Although he survived, his family was destroyed. After a full year of fleeing abroad, he returned to the capital to surrender. At that time, the Li Yun case had been concluded. The late emperor saw that Li Yun's third son Li Wei was still alive and was happy to come out.

In addition, he immediately pardoned his crime of deceiving the king and planned to grant him a high-ranking official and generous salary. However, Li Wei was completely disappointed and saw through the world and only wanted to recitate in a secluded place to redeem his sins and save his life. Therefore, the late emperor allowed him to ordain him in Tianjue Temple, and his Dharma name was Lichen. His true identity, except for the current emperor, was only I known about his entire Great Zhou Dynasty. Zeng Tai seemed to have realized: "So that's it. Then, my teacher, what you want to do now..."

Di Renjie raised his head and stared at Zeng Tai: "Zeng Tai, have you ever asked you for personal matters?" Zeng Tai shook his head repeatedly: "No, no. Teacher, you..." Di Renjie said word by word: "Okay, today I would like to ask you to do a private matter for your teacher." "My teacher, you say that the student will serve!" Di Renjie nodded and said solemnly: "Okay, Zeng Tai, go and find two people for me. After Xie's house was burned, no newborn baby girl from Xie Rucheng's son Xie Lan and Li Wei were found at the scene. Later, someone said that he had seen the traces of Xie Lan and the baby girl nearby.

. Therefore, Le Chen and I always held hope, thinking that the two children might really escape from their lives. Zeng Tai, what I want you to look for is a man named Xie Lan and a woman... I don't know the name. They are very likely to live together, either as brothers and sisters, or have become husband and wife." Zeng Tai looked at Di Renjie in embarrassment: "This..." Di Renjie smiled sadly again: "I know it's difficult, even futile. But this is the biggest regret of Le Chen and I in this life. As long as they are not dead, I must find them."

At this moment, in the courtyard of the single-door courtyard, which was just a stone's throw from Di Mansion, Shen Huai and his sister were having a very difficult conversation. As soon as the two of them had dinner, Shen Jun got up to clean up the dishes and was stopped by Shen Huai: "Sit down and don't move!" Shen Jun sat back on the chair at a loss. Shen Huai shouted outside the door: "Auntie He, come and clean up the table." Auntie He agreed to run out of the west wing, hurriedly wiped the table, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

Shen Huai looked at her back and whispered: "A Jun, I have told you so many times. In the future, Aunt He will do such things. You are a lady with a status, not a low-class servant!" Shen Jun's face turned pale and red, and Qiqi said ai Ai: "The aunt is in her fifties and is older. I'm embarrassed to make her tired." Shen Huai sneered: "Then she is so embarrassed to eat and live here for free?" He looked at Shen Jun's cramped expression and slowed down and said: "A Jun, I know you are kind-hearted, but you know too little about the world. Aunt He is not close to us, we kindly take her in. She does some housework for us, and she lives on her own more at ease, right?"

As she was talking, Aunt He walked in with a tea tray, served incense tea, and said, "General Shen, Miss Ajun, you drink tea." "Yes." Shen Huai nodded, held the teacup and blew it in his mouth, and said casually, "Auntie He, you have lived in my house for so many days, are you used to living? You should worry about your daily housework, especially when you show up outside, try not to let Ajun do it." Aunt He nodded and said carefully, "General Shen is right, I understand. Miss Ajun is a daughter of a daughter and should not do those vulgar tasks. But she is so kind. Seeing that I am busy, I have to come to help, but I can't stop her." Shen Huai frowned impatiently and said, "Anyway, please worry more in the future."
