Chapter 43 I want to deal with the Wang family
Li Yi was startled, tilted his head, and stared at the boy in front of him in surprise - you have such ability, but you still want to come to worship me as your teacher?
But, tsk tsk, it’s quite good to have such a bodyguard apprentice!
Thinking of this, he gave a few instructions to the guard, then turned around and led the lame scholar into the door.
"Bang -" With a dull sound, the copper-nailed and red-lacquered door slowly closed, and the onlookers who had been quiet just now suddenly roared and started to make a noise. This sound was like - countless latrines on a hot summer day.
The flies were buzzing and flying, which was annoying.
Many talented people came to watch the second couplet written by Li Yi just now.
There were only a dozen or so lower couplets written on the rice paper, and everyone was immediately dissatisfied - you know, the front wall here was covered with first couplets before, but this kid got a dozen right, and he passed the test?
Before these passionate young people who were ready to fight for the glory of the literati could get angry, they heard a loud shout. The shout was rough and heroic, and the sound was so loud that it suddenly shocked the elegant scholars present on the spot.
.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was one of the two guards guarding the door of the Li family. He was thick-set and had a beard on his lips, which made him even more barbaric and ferocious. One look at him made people feel timid.
"You guys, my young master knows that you will definitely be dissatisfied!" Lao Tu said angrily, slapping his chest as if training new recruits.
"Then, what's the matter? There were thousands of couplets here before!" A scholar asked bravely. As he asked, he squeezed into the crowd behind him without leaving any trace - for fear of the barbaric man opposite him.
The guard came up and gave him two knives...
"My young master said, this is nothing, just a few couples..." Lao Tu promised, patting his chest, but his heart was full of impatience - if the young master hadn't ordered Haosheng to deal with these little scholars, according to him
Because of his temper, he had already stepped forward and kicked each of them, and kicked them all away.
"What did you say?" Everyone asked in unison, confused.
"The young master said..." Lao Tu scratched his head and suddenly couldn't remember. His face suddenly turned red. He thought for a long time, but still to no avail.
He scratched his head helplessly, turned to Lao Song who was standing at the door and asked: "Old Song, what did the young master just say?"
"Bah, you have such a bad memory, no wonder the general drove you back!" Lao Song sighed and began to mock.
"Let's talk about business first!" Lao Tu's face was already tanned, but now it started to turn dark and rosy. He frowned a little embarrassed, and his big feet in military boots felt uncomfortable on the ground.
Kicked twice.
"The young master said that he will only review fifteen couplets every week. Everyone who comes up with the first couplet must report their name, gender, birth date, and identity background..." Old Song recited proudly: "
Well, finally, write this information on a piece of paper and give it to the general's guard..."
Having said this, he patted his chest and said with a silly laugh: "That's me!"
"And me!" Lao Tu didn't want to make the other party so proud, so he immediately answered.
How could many literati have time to pay attention to these two guards who enjoyed bickering at this moment? After hearing this, they felt that it was not a good idea to keep putting dog skin plaster on each other's walls, since Li Yi accepted the move openly and honestly.
, then just line up, sooner or later one day you will be able to match your first couplet...
If someone in front of him gave him a hard time, it would be considered as venting his anger on the scholar and giving him a lesson for this ignorant guy...
The fifth young master of the Li family received fifteen couplets of news every month, which quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. Many businessmen and tourists who stopped in the capital gradually brought the news to the north and south of the country.
In this way, someone's reputation will become even greater - not to mention that the fifteen second couplets he answered today are all exquisite and undeniable; just this Li Yi, who dares to connect openly, is already in the hearts of everyone
, which subtly improved his status in the literary world.
No matter how much you scold someone, don't you still want to embarrass the other person? Why bother the other person? It's not because this Li Yi is arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't know the heights of heaven. More importantly, this kid has excellent writing skills!
In the evening, the furnishings in Li Yi's study were simple and exquisite. The green smoke on the incense burner curled up. With the breeze, the green smoke drifted into the nose of someone who was lazily leaning on the recliner. The stimulation of the smoke made him unable to help but open his mouth and hit him.
A sneeze.
"A sneeze -" This sneeze was so powerful that Li Yi burst into tears. Qing'er stood beside him, hurriedly picked up a sweat towel and carefully wiped away the tears on his face.
Li Yi slowly glanced at the door. Ever since Wu Xiaoming entered the study, he had been standing there, motionless, like a statue.
He had been standing for a long time now. Since he entered the room, a whole batch of spices had been burned in the incense burner.
"You mean, you want to deal with Wang Juxian?" Li Yi sighed and finally spoke.
Wu Xiaoming nodded first, then hurriedly shook his head and said, "No!"
"Huh?" Li Yi frowned - since he is not dealing with Wang Juxian, what is he doing to come to him?
Seeing the change in Li Yi's expression, Wu Xiaoming hurriedly explained: "The students want to deal with the entire Wang family!"
"The entire Wang family?" Li Yi was startled. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing of confiscating the entire family - and it seemed that this kid was even trying to encourage him to do it.
Li Yi suddenly sat up straight, raised his spirits, stared into Wu Xiaoming's eyes, and asked, "Why?"
Wu Xiaoming's calm expression just now suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Because that old dog Wang Qian killed more than seventy people in my family!"
"What!" Li Yi was stunned. Isn't the Wang Wei we are talking about the same person? It is said that Wang Juxian's father is a well-known upright official. He is worshiped as a royal censor and is highly admired by everyone. He has countless disciples and is called an evergreen tree in officialdom.
!
Seeing Li Yi's disbelief, Wu Xiaoming gritted his teeth and explained: "My father was originally the tea envoy of Qinzhou and was in charge of the entire tea and horse trade in Qinzhou. He accidentally discovered that Wang Wei, through his disciples, was involved in the transaction with the Turks.
Deliberately lowering the price of tea and making huge profits..."
Such an old-fashioned plot? Li Yi was stunned and said: "Then, this Wang Wei asked your father to cooperate, but your father is an honest and upright person, so he was framed and suppressed?"
"Mr. Ming Jian!" Wu Xiaoming immediately bowed to the ground, with tears already overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and opened his mouth: "After that, this Wang Wei planted a crime on my father... The emperor was so angry that he exiled our family three thousand miles away."
"But this king still refused to let my father go, and sent people to set up an ambush halfway. There were more than seventy people in the clan, and I was the only one who managed to escape..." When he said this, tears were streaming down his face, and his voice was choked with sobs.
The right leg was penetrated by the crossbow arrow of the person who was ambushed back then, and it is still difficult to recover."
"Huh?" Li Yi frowned and asked, "What about your kung fu?"
Wu Xiaoming sighed softly and said: "After I escaped, I wanted revenge. By chance, I became a servant of a strange man and practiced the art of killing for ten years."
"It didn't succeed?" After Li Yi asked this, he felt that what he was asking was nonsense. He didn't wait for Wu Xiaoming to explain, and continued: "Either Wang Wei lives in seclusion and you can't find a chance. Or, he has a few
Extremely powerful expert protection..."
Wu Xiaoming said no more, fell to his knees with a plop, raised his hands above his head and said respectfully: "Sir, you have already gained the attention of the emperor at a young age. What's more important is that you are upright and not afraid of power!"
