Just as Li Yuan and Li Yuanba exited the Gate of Heaven Influence, Madam Dou, who had been waiting for them, immediately went up to welcome them. Together with her was Chai Shao, who had just finished his report at the Ministry of War…
When Madam Dou and Chai Shao saw the thing in Li Yuanba's arms, their faces were startled, but their faces were filled with doubt…
After that, they saw Li Yuan, whose face was pale and his footsteps were weak. Madam Dou and Chai Shao hurriedly went forward to support him…
When Li Yuan saw Chai Shao, his eyes unconsciously showed gratitude. He grabbed Chai Shao's hands and said,"Sichang, you have done a great favor to my Li clan…"
As he spoke, Li Yuan was about to kneel down and bow to Si Chang…
It wasn't that it couldn't be done, but that it had to be done at the right time and to the person who was truly worthy of the gift…
As for Li Yuan, the current Chai Shao was worthy of him bowing to him…
Because Chai Shao had saved the entire Li family!
Li Yuanji had embezzled the wealth of the Xiliang remnants that he wanted to use as military pay, but Chai Shao had discovered it in time and secretly returned the wealth to him because he knew that the military pay was too heavy, especially for the troops resisting the Turks in the north…
This was also an action that saved the Li family…
Li Yuan couldn't imagine how furious the Emperor would be if Li Yuanji took all these military salaries into his pocket!
"Father-in-law, why do you say these words? Quickly get up. How can this little son-in-law bear the responsibility…" Seeing Li Yuan's actions, Chai Shao hurriedly supported him…
"If it weren't for you, the entire Li family would have been finished!”
Li Yuan looked at Chai Shao's sigh. There was joy in his tone, but there was also hatred…
Chai Shao was extremely intelligent. Li Yuan's words shocked him. He immediately knew that the matter had indeed been discovered, so he quickly said to Li Yuan,"Father-in-law, be careful with your words…"
"Get on the carriage first. We will talk about everything when we return…"
Madam Dou heard the conversation between Chai Shao and Li Yuan and looked at Li Yuan's expression. She knew that there was definitely something hidden that had happened. Moreover, the matter was very serious. She immediately opened her mouth…
After she finished speaking, Madam Dou turned her head to look at Li Yuanba. She saw that her youngest son was holding a golden dragon jade pillar in his arms. Although she was curious, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Yuanba was still full of vigor…
"Go back quickly. There are still important things to do.”
Li Yuan nodded. After which, he quickly walked towards the carriage with the support of Chai Shao and Madam Dou…
However, after taking a few steps, Li Yuan thought of the Golden Dragon Spitting Pearls in Li Yuan Ba's arms. He hurriedly instructed Chai Shao to rent a carriage and buy a brocade blanket. As for the rest, Li Yuan did not explain much. He only said,"Those two items are a gift from the Sage. We'll talk about the rest when we get back." Then, he got into the carriage…
When they heard Li Yuan say that the two items were bestowed by the Emperor, the two of them were shocked. They couldn't help but look at Li Yuanba, who was casually holding the two items…
In the next moment, Chai Shao immediately went to rent a carriage and purchase a brocade carpet according to Li Yuan's instructions…
As for Li Yuan, he boarded the carriage with Madam Dou…
Li Yuanba also heard what Chai Shao was going to do, so he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the small jade stones on Golden Dragon's body, thinking about breaking one off and selling it when he went back…
Not long after, Chai Shao returned. Together with him was a gorgeous carriage made of red wood. On the carriage were two large boxes made of heavy wood that were beautifully carved…
Chai Shao brought the carriage and walked directly to Li Yuanba's side. After which, he opened the two large chests. One could see that there was a carpet laid inside the chests…
Li Yuanba didn't say anything else. He placed the golden dragon and the jade pillar into each box. The box was about 1.5 meters wide, so it was enough to put the golden dragon and the jade pillar inside…
The moment the golden dragon and the jade pillar were placed into the box at the same time...
Creak…
The carriage immediately emitted a creaking sound. Be it the coachman or Chai Shao, both of them were shocked. This was because this carriage was a wooden carriage that Chai Shao had deliberately found to be able to withstand a weight of three hundred jin…
Now that these two things were placed on it, he did not expect that the solid wood would actually make such a sound…
One could imagine how heavy these two things were…
Li Yuanba, on the other hand, was holding these two items as if they were nothing. This was truly shocking!!
After carefully putting away these two gifts, Chai Shao went to the carriage where Li Yuan and Madam Dou were and said something. Then, the group of people walked towards the Tang Public House…
On the way, Chai Shao and Li Yuanba rode side by side on their horses, walking at the back of the convoy…
The carriage that Li Yuan and Madam Dou were riding on was in front, while the thing that contained the 'Golden Dragon Spitting Pearl' was following behind…
Looking at the two boxes in front of him and thinking about Li Yuan's appearance just now, Chai Shao wanted to ask Li Yuanba what had happened inside…
However, every time he wanted to speak, he would immediately stop…
Because Chai Shao knew that Li Yuanba was born with an incomplete mind, it was useless to ask him…
However, when he thought about how he had spent more than ten days with Li Yuanba, he felt that Li Yuanba was no different from an ordinary person. Moreover, he even joked with others. He felt that Li Yuanba would definitely be able to tell him the whole story…
Curiosity was something that couldn't be suppressed just like that…
Just as the convoy entered Wuben Square, Chai Shao couldn't hold it in any longer. He turned his head and asked Li Yuanba in a low voice,"Yuan Ba, what exactly happened…"
"It's not a big deal. I just beat up a general, then beat up a few guards and scolded a minister. Then, the emperor gave these two things to me…"
Li Yuanba was never long-winded, especially when it came to answering questions. He did what he was supposed to do and did not go into detail when others did not ask him. He had always been simple and direct…
"Hit a general? Beat up a few guards? Scolded a minister? And then he got these two things? In front of His Majesty? Be clearer…Also, what is His Majesty's punishment for the Li family…"
Chai Shao listened to Li Yuanba's reply and had a puzzled expression. He was already very confused, but now, he was even more confused…
Because Chai Shao was unable to connect Li Yuanba's matters, no matter how intelligent he was, he would never have thought that these few words would be connected.
Moreover, as far as he knew, if he really did this in front of the Emperor, let alone the fact that the Li family was guilty and not guilty, doing such a thing in front of the Emperor would be rude and disrespectful! Not to mention beating up a general and scolding a minister. Chai Shao did not even dare to think about it.
And if it really happened…
At that time, not to mention the reward, it would be a problem if the entire Li family could still live…
"We are almost there. When the time comes, old man Li Yuan will talk about this matter. Won't it be fine if you just listen…"
Looking at Chai Shao's curious face, Li Yuanba wanted to explain in detail. However, he thought about how many things had happened and how many questions there were. Chai Shao would definitely keep asking questions and it would be very troublesome, so he simply said these words…
Hearing Li Yuanba's words, Chai Shao had never wanted to beat Li Yuanba up so badly!
but...
He just didn't dare!
That was because…
He would definitely be beaten up by Li Yuanba!
