Chapter 20 Elders

The storm in the capital was limited to a very small range, so that apart from Emperor Chengde and several parties involved, most people in the capital were not sure what was going on. However, as long as someone with a heart could see the big-character poster written by Li Xin, contacting the cancellation of the hunting, the royal monarch of Jingzhao Prefecture was demoted to two levels, and some outlines could be guessed.

However, this incident involves the emperor, and Li Xin's big-character poster is even more suspicious of slandering the emperor. Therefore, no one in the capital dares to put this matter on the surface, so the storm was covered up to the greatest extent. Even if he knew it, he pretended not to know it. Everyone just thought that nothing had happened.

The next day, the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion disappeared on the street, and the documents wanted by Li Xin were displaced. It was not until this time that Li Xin's uneasy thoughts finally settled down, because at this time, he completely believed what the seventh prince said.

No matter what, he and the Seventh Master had no friendship after all, and the two of them had a lot of plans and had only known each other for two or three days. It was normal for Li Xin to be a little prepared.

Fortunately, nothing of what the seventh young master said to Li Xin was wrong.

This storm was easily revealed as the seventh prince said. The officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion who were still on the street yesterday, like wolves and tigers, disappeared without a trace as if they had never existed before.

On that day, Li Xin walked on the street for a long time, but he did not find the people from the Inner Guards as mentioned by the Seventh Prince. However, it is not surprising that even if those people are ordered to protect themselves, they may not have to be in the open. If they hide, they will not be able to find them.

So, after buying some food, rice, oil and salt on the street, Li Xin set out to return to his small courtyard in Datongfang. When he returned to his residence, it was almost evening. Li Xin pushed open the gate and found that there were not only two charcoal sellers and charcoal girls in the yard, but also an old man in green with silver hair. The old man in green was sitting in front of the charcoal sellers' bed, asking one or two questions from time to time.

The charcoal seller smiled, and the two old men were obviously having a happy chat.

They were talking in the dialect of the capital, and they spoke very quickly. After hearing a few words, Li Xin found that he didn't understand very much, so he pulled the charcoal girl beside him and asked, "Girl, who is this old... who is he?"

According to the plot in the novel, it is probably the emperor who visited him in private, and the next plot should be that the emperor asked him about politics, and he passionately made a speech that shocked the world and the ghosts and gods, and then made the emperor fall off and accept him. He finally successfully entered the court and reached the peak of his life...

Unfortunately, this kind of plot will generally not happen easily. If the emperor goes out for a patrol in a condom and the white dragon fish suit, the surrounding area will inevitably be full of guards and will guard the enemy within a certain range.

But before Li Xin entered the door, there were still people coming and going on the street outside Datongfang, and there was no sign of being alert.

Moreover, the royal family has the temperament of a superior. Although this old man also has some temperament, he is slightly insufficient than the Seventh Prince, and it is even more unlikely to be an emperor.

The charcoal seller glanced into the room, then looked up at Li Xin, and said crisply: "Brother, this old man claims to be your elder. I have been waiting for almost an hour to see you here."

elder…?

Li Xin frowned. He had no elders in the capital. If he had to say anything, he would be a relative of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion. But he really didn't want to have any connection with the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

Thinking of this, Li Xin coughed, walked in from outside the room, and bowed slightly to the old man in green: "Is the old man looking for him?"

The old man in green was talking to the charcoal seller. When he heard Li Xin's voice, he turned around, looked up and down at the young man in front of him, and then said, "Are you Li Xin?"

Li Xin nodded slowly.

The old man groaned and said in a deep voice: "I should be your uncle by seniority. Why don't I have no etiquette at all? I can't respect you when I see you?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "Old man, I am in the capital without any relatives or father, and I don't know where the word "uncle" comes from?"

The old man in Qingyi stood up from the bed. Only then did Li Xin realize that the old man was quite tall and slightly taller than Li Xin. The old man looked at Li Xin seriously and said, "It's not convenient here. Let's go out and say something. I want to ask you."

Li Xin was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

Everyone came to the door, so it was useless to escape at this time. If it was really a relative from the Marquis of Pingnan, I would just send him away after a few words.

Li Xin took out a packet of sticky candy from the basket he brought back, handed it to the little girl, and laughed softly, "Take it for food, go and have a conversation with grandpa first, brother will make you a meal later."

Since Li Xin got an income, he often brought some snacks to the little girl every time he went out. However, their cabin was burned recently, and Li Xin was busy with other things, so he couldn't buy candy for the little girl. Today, Li Xin remembered and brought her a pack of candy back.

The little girl ended up holding candy in her arms and sat down with a charcoal seller in a regular manner.

Li Xin took a deep breath and turned around and walked out of the room.

At this time, it was still in the twelfth lunar month, and the yard was still quite cold. Li Xin set up a bonfire in the yard, and the two of them sat opposite each other around the bonfire.

The old man reached out and baked it on the fire, looking up at Li Xin.

"Do you know who I am?"

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "I guessed some."

The old man snorted: "Since I guessed it, I have to tell you something. Some of my thoughts are good, but before doing things, you always have to think about the consequences. If it weren't for the Lord protecting you this time, your best outcome would be to be in the Jingzhao Mansion prison!"

Speaking of this, the old man looked at Li Xin angrily and sneered: "I will return the emperor's sage virtue to the world. The old man froze to death in the northern mountain. The old man who sells charcoal is alive well at this time, and you will use it to slander the Holy Lord!"

Li Xin frowned slightly.

Although every word said by the old man is true, it would make him feel a little uncomfortable when he said these words from the people of the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion.

So Li Xin stood up and said, "This old man has no relatives in the capital, and there will be no uncle. You should have recognized the wrong person. As for what you do and don't do, you are doing your own thing and doing nothing to others."

"Nothing to do with others?"
