Snow covered the ground outside the gate of the Du Residence. It was the coldest day in December. The cold wind blew like knives, especially since Wang Youli's leg was broken. He was thrown out by Mordor. When he fell to the ground, his broken leg hit the ground first. He was in so much pain that he could not even stand properly.
"Quick, help me into the carriage!"
Wang Youli ordered loudly.
The coachman who accompanied the carriage also had a look of astonishment on his face. That was because Wang Youli came as a representative of the Wang Family, but he was thrown out with a broken leg. It was too shocking.
The coachman did not dare to delay. He quickly helped Wang Youli up and carried him into the carriage.
The coachman asked, "What's going on, Butler?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Drive the carriage and find a doctor to bandage my wound. Then, hurry back to Taiyuan."
Wang Youli gritted his teeth and endured the pain as he ordered in a low voice.
His heart was filled with anger.
When he met Du Qi, not only was he slapped twenty times in the face by Du Qi, but his leg was also broken. Wang Youli could not remain calm.
The coachman did not say anything else and hurried on.
When they arrived at a pharmacy, he got off the carriage with Wang Youli on his back and asked the doctor to set his bones, apply medicine, and bandage his wounds. Then, the group of people hurried on and headed north.
Although the December snowstorm was heavy, Wang Youli and the others traveled north quickly. In the middle of December, they finally returned to the Wang Family in Taiyuan Prefecture.
Wang Youli's injuries had recovered a little.
However, his recovery was limited.
After all, the journey was bumpy. Even though he was lying in the carriage, his injuries recovered very slowly in the cold weather.
At that moment, Wang Youli's legs could not support him directly. He needed a crutch to support him. Wang Youli walked into the Wang Family with the crutch and met Wang Zongzhou in the study.
"Patriarch!"
Wang Youli bowed.
Wang Zongzhou frowned and said in a deep voice, "Why did you come back with a crutch after a trip to Chang 'an?"
"Patriarch, this lowly one has been wronged!"
Wang Youli clenched his teeth, looking as if he was gnashing his teeth, and said, "After this lowly one arrived in Chang 'an, this lowly one gave Du Qi a letter from Clan Head. This Du Qi said that it would be impolite not to reciprocate. He had this lowly one's face be slapped twenty times, and then broke this lowly one's legs. During this period of time, the wound on his face had healed, but the wound on his leg had not. Patriarch, you have to uphold justice for me! "
After Wang Zongzhou heard this, he stood up and gritted his teeth. "Damn it, damn it!"
He never thought that the person he sent to deliver the message would be treated like this. Since ancient times, when two armies fought, there was a saying that envoys should not be killed. After thinking it through, Wang Zongzhou sent someone to deliver a message. Even if Du Qi was dissatisfied, he shouldn't have acted like this. He actually broke Wang Youli's leg. It was truly hateful.
Wang Zongzhou looked at Wang Youli and said, "You may leave. I have my own plans for this matter."
"Yes!"
Wang Youli replied respectfully, then turned and walked out.
When Wang Youli was about to reach the door, Wang Zongzhou suddenly said, "Wait!"
Wang Youli turned and said, "Patriarch."
Wang Zongzhou said, "You went to Chang 'an. Not only did you want to meet Du Qi, but you also wanted to meet the Princess of Zhao. What did she say?"
After hearing this, Wang Youli reacted immediately.
He had forgotten about this matter.
Wang Youli was also quite angry. He said, "Patriarch, this matter is also very infuriating. At that time, this lowly one met the Princess of Zhao. After handing over the letter, the Prince of Zhao, Li Xiaogong, entered and said that Wang Yue's matter should be handled by the Wang Family. He also said that the Wang Family could not interfere with the Princess's matters, so he directly expelled this lowly one. At that time, he directly scolded this lowly one to 'get lost'. "
"This is too much."
After hearing this, Wang Zongzhou was furious.
Back then, when Li Xiaogong asked for his daughter's hand in marriage, the Li Family had yet to prosper. Back then, the Li Family was even more cautious. They were not as arrogant as they were now.
Wang Zongzhou was also very angry.
"Ingrate, ingrate!"
Wang Zongzhou muttered to himself.
Wang Youli stood below and did not dare to say a word. He could only stand there obediently.
Wang Zongzhou waved his hand, and Wang Youli left.
Wang Zongzhou thought about the matter of Du Qi and Li Xiaogong, and his anger rose. However, after a while, he gradually calmed down. He sat cross-legged and thought about how to deal with it.
After a long while, Wang Zongzhou ordered, "Men, ask Mr. Liu to come here."
Mr. Liu's name was Liu Zhengxi.
He was Wang Zongzhou's aide.
For the patriarch of a large family like Wang Zongzhou, there would always be aides who would give him advice.
The attendant went to inform Mr. Liu. Not long after, a middle-aged man in his early forties, dressed in a sky-blue robe and a large cloak, strode in. That person was none other than Liu Zhengxi.
Although he was in his early forties, he looked extremely young, as if he was in his thirties.
Liu Zhengxi's appearance was very ordinary, especially because of his flat nose, which made his facial features very poor. In fact, Liu Zhengxi was quite talented, but his appearance made it impossible for him to become an official. In the end, he worked for Wang Zongzhou.
Liu Zhengxi bowed and said, "Lord Wang!"
Wang Zongzhou said, "Have a seat, Mr. Liu!"
After Liu Zhengxi lifted his robe and sat down, someone passed him a brazier to warm him up. Liu Zhengxi said, "Lord Wang, why have you called me here?"
Wang Zongzhou said, "There is one thing. I want to deal with Du Qi of Chang 'an now. Do you have a plan, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Zhengxi said, "You mean Du Qi, the county's founding hero?"
"Yes!"
Wang Zongzhou nodded.
Liu Zhengxi pondered for a moment, then said, "I've studied Du Qi before. Although he's a kid, he's actually very experienced, and his abilities aren't weak at all. It won't be easy to deal with Du Qi. Moreover, Du Qi is the Rank Five county's founding hero, which shows that he has the Emperor's heart. I'd like to know why you want to deal with Du Qi, Lord Wang. "
Wang Zongzhou said in a low voice, "Because Du Qi humiliated the Wang family, humiliated my son. I arranged for Wang Youli to go to Chang 'an and ask him for an explanation, but in the end, Du Qi slapped Wang Youli twenty times and broke one of Wang Youli's legs. "
"Don't you think Du Qi is too arrogant?"
"The Wang family of Taiyuan is a noble family, a real aristocratic family. Du Qi humiliated the Wang family, how can I, Wang Zongzhou, let it go? I must ask for an explanation. "
"Therefore, we must deal with Du Qi. We must let Du Qi see the power of the Wang family of Taiyuan."
Wang Zongzhou disliked Du Qi very much.
His face was full of anger.
After hearing that, Liu Zhengxi understood. However, he didn't ask about the conflict between Wang Yue and Du Qi, which led to Du Qi humiliating Wang Yue, because it was unnecessary.
Liu Zhengxi was thinking quickly in his mind.
He was thinking about the strategy to solve the problem.
Wang Zongzhou didn't interrupt him, but waited quietly. At the same time, Wang Zongzhou was also thinking about the solution. This matter must be done beautifully to protect the dignity of the Wang family.
After a long while, Liu Zhengxi opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang, when it comes to dealing with Du Qi, I think we can generally divide it into three aspects."
Hearing that, Wang Zongzhou was refreshed and smiled. He couldn't wait to ask, "What's the plan, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Zhengxi said, "The first part is to use the power of the Wang family to smear Du Qi's image. Du Qi went to the Turks to fight. Although it was Li Daen who mobilized the troops, in fact, it was Du Qi who came up with the strategy. Therefore, many people recognize Du Qi and think that Du Qi is a great hero. Under this premise, we can use the power of the Wang family to smear Du Qi, make Du Qi a playboy who is hated by everyone, and make everyone despise Du Qi. "
Wang Zongzhou said, "What about the second part?"
