Chapter 107
In Jishan Hall, Li Mingde's voice was not slow and anxious: "... Zhang Liangshan has left Anqi and went to Yuanhe. He should have given up Anqi's investigation. I asked Ning County to prepare more than 200 hectares of land and give it to him as a gift. Wan Huaide of Suyuan County has collected the silver. This person is not worth worrying. Lao Huang from Xingguo County said that he had handled Ren Guoqiang and there were several more places, and all of them were going smoothly. Now, ten deputy envoys of Qingtian, Jiang Anyi, and Liu Yushan, have no contact. Xiang Dongrong from Linhe County has refused the silver sent at home. Lao Liu is thinking of another way."
Teacher Li slowly combed his beard and said, "These people are just scabies, which is not worth worrying. However, Yu Zhijie is coming to Anqi to show his determination to investigate the Li family. This person is now highly valued by the emperor. If he can successfully investigate the land of Renzhou, he is probably going to take away Liu Xinming and replace him with the position. Yu Zhijie will definitely do his best in this investigation. You must not be careless."
"Son understand." Li Mingde nodded and responded.
"Apart from Yu Zhijie, Jiang Anyi should not be underestimated. Mingshan fell into this hand. Although this son is only eighteen years old and has tricks, Yu Zhijie puts him in the dark and cannot be guarded. You ask Xuchanghua to pay attention to him and see if he can win him over. If not, you might as well teach him some lessons and kill chickens to show the monkeys, and let Yu Zhijie know that the Li family is not a soft man. If he wants to be promoted, he might as well come to the Li family to talk to me. Everyone has something to say, but if you want to be strong, my Li family is not afraid of him."
Master Li's words were like sword wind, with a bitter murderous aura. Li Mingde frowned secretly. He did not agree with the old man's words. Yu Zhijie was behind the emperor. Once he broke up with Yu Zhijie, he would inevitably anger the emperor. At that time, the storm was unpredictable, and the Li family might face a catastrophe. Alas, I would rather give up some land and end the matter successfully.
Seeing his son's thoughts, Master Li said coldly: "Mingde, you are thinking about ending up with harmony, but you are wrong. If you only check the fields, even if the Li family sends half of the fields, it will not hurt their vitality. You have also said that as long as people are there, everything will come back."
"But this time it's different. The emperor wanted to use the Qing Dynasty to make a sword to gradually weaken the power of the aristocratic families, clear out the illegal fields, and punish illegal officials. If Yu Zhijie beat him up, the number of people who entered the Li family would be reduced by at least half."
Being an official in the court was to support the branches of this big tree in the aristocratic family. If half of it was cut off would definitely be a serious injury to the vitality. Li Mingde was shocked.
Two rays of light were shot out from the deep-sleeping eye sockets of Master Li, and continued: "One of the aristocratic families, my Li family is the weakest. The Li family has many people living in the local area, but there is no support for the officials in the court. Mingxing served as the Minister of the Simin Temple for less than two years and did not speak enough. Although Mingyi was the Chief Censor, he was only a fifth-rank official and could not speak at critical moments."
Li Mingde became nervous and pondered: "Long live to take action against my Li family?"
"You don't have to worry too much. This time, the emperor chose Renzhou, Louzhou and Lingzhou as the pilot. The top ten aristocratic families suddenly touched three of them, and the action was quite large. The rabbit died and the fox was sad. Except for the royal family and the Wang family, other families may not be at peace. I have received a letter from Liu Xinming and Lin Tianwei. They pointed at my Li family and made a good plan." Master Li sneered: "I can't do this bird that comes out. Liu Xinming is more anxious than us. Let's drag it for a while and wait and see what changes."
A manager ran in panic and stood in the yard and did not dare to approach. Li Shicheng and his son were stunned. Everyone knew the rules of the family. The head of the family was discussing affairs, and no one was allowed to be there in Jishan Hall. If the manager came in, something must have happened, and it was a big deal.
Li Mingde got up and came to the yard and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Master Feng, Master Feng..." The manager whined and spoke hesitantly.
"What's wrong? Explain it clearly." Li Shicheng appeared at the door with a stick and shouted loudly.
"Young Master Feng and Dong'er in the front yard made a few words. Dong'er was not resolute and was seeking death. The front yard was full of trouble."
"A evil beast." Mingde knew his son's virtue and fortune clearly. There was no need to ask the beast to tease this woman named Dong'er again. Li Mingde roared: "Come on, tie the beast to the pillar of the study and whip him forty leather."
"Let's go." Li Shicheng cursed: "Feng'er is still young, and her whip is still broken by forty whips. Go, just say what I said, put this kid in the ancestral hall and be confined to three days, so that he can think about his mistakes."
When his father spoke, Li Mingde dared not refuse to obey, and stomped his legs hatefully without saying anything. The manager stood there and did not leave, asking, "What should Dong'er do?"
Li Mingde asked angrily: "Whose child is from?"
"It's Li Laihe's daughter."
When Li Mingde came to his mind, a timid shadow flashed in his mind. This person is the same clan as himself. The ancestors of seven or eight generations were probably brothers. This branch has fallen. Thinking of his son not studying well, Li Mingde became anxious and said, "Give his family twenty taels of silver, and let them move out of the village within three days. It will be a disaster sooner or later to stay in the village."
The fate of Li Laihe's family was changed. Leaving Li's villa means losing the family's work and the family's source of livelihood is gone. His arm can't twist his thighs, and Li Laihe took his wife and daughter to hire a car, moved out of the village with his family's property, and found a temporary residence in the village next to him.
Miss Dong'er was packing things with her mother with tears. Li Laihe squatted in the corner and sighed. Seeing her father feeling so uncomfortable, Dong'er cried, "It's all my fault for her daughter, who caused trouble for her father."
Li Lai and Qiang squeezed out a smile and said, "Silly girl, how can you blame you? If you blame me, you will blame your father for being incompetent. My parents have nothing, but the family has no money, so your brother's book is probably not able to read."
Grandpa Shitou and his parents sold the fields and houses. The whole family went to Xinqi County, and only Shitou followed Jiang Anyi. This time he went to Anqi County, Jiang Anyi bought a small donkey for Shitou, and walked together with each horse and donkey, watching the mountains and scenery along the way, feeling very uncomfortable.
Yu Zhijie's warning Jiang Anyi didn't care much. Countless successful experiences accumulated Jiang Anyi's confidence. The 18-year-old top scholar guided the country and slapped the world.
Anqi County, Linhe Inn, Jiang Anyi and Shi Tou packed a small courtyard. Before Shi Tou's luggage was placed, the news had already reached Ning Magistrate's ears. After a stick of incense, Li Mingde also knew about it.
Li Mingde is familiar with this top scholar, and he still admires it from the perspective of scholars. Sanyuan is the young immortal, and his literary talent is the dream of all scholars. Although Li Mingde is nearly fifty years old, he is essentially a scholar. If Jiang Anyi didn't come to check the land, Li Mingde really wanted to visit him in person. Unfortunately, he did not plan for each other.
The red lights in front of the Zuixian Tower in Anqi City are tall, illuminating the entire street with joy. Jiang Anyi stepped into the store with stones, and the guy warmly greeted him and said, "Customer, please come upstairs." The downstairs are full, with noisy noises and loud urges to drink. The upstairs is a private room, and the guy is sharp-eyed and he believes that Jiang Anyi is a rich man at first glance.
Come up to the second floor, and change to a woman with beautiful makeup to welcome guests. She swayed her waist and her fine steps, looked back with charming eyes, which was particularly charming outside the light. With Xin Fei in her heart, Jiang Anyi naturally didn't take these vulgar powder seriously. The stone was too young and kept covering her nose, and was itchy when she was choking on the fragrant powder.
The business of Zuixianlou is booming, with mutton, crab noodles, lion heads, and crab crabs that are unique. Jiang Anyi was also guided by the shopkeeper and came to feast on it. The dishes were placed on the table, Jiang Anyi and Shi Tou started moving, Jiang Anyi was gentle, Shi Tou started to take action, and he ate it with oil, holding the crab claws in his hand, which made him feel so delicious.
The sound of the flute from the downstairs was like an arrow piercing through the clouds and breaking through the sky. The noisy sound was quiet, and the sound of the flute was loud and loud, like a spring swallow flying in the rain, and like an angry wave slapping the embankment. Jiang Anyi was good at playing the flute, and he heard resentment, unyielding and fighting from the sound of the flute. The sound gradually fell down to the high place, and the heart turned like weeping and complaining. The wind sang softly on the branches, the close lover whispered by the pillow, the wind blew up the sorrow of parting, and the wanderer fared away from his hometown...
Jiang Anyi was attracted by the sound of the flute and walked out of the private room. He saw a man standing tall in the dance floor in the hall, playing the flute, and making a splendid appearance. The sound of the flute was dispersed and everyone cheered. Jiang Anyi couldn't help but applaud and invited him loudly: "This friend, Jiang also likes to play the flute. If you don't mind Jiang's presumptuousness, please go upstairs to talk."
The man raised his face, his sword eyebrows and tiger eyes were full of heroic spirit. Jiang Anyi secretly praised a hero. Seeing Jiang Anyi's sincere smile, the man smiled and walked up the steps to the second floor. Jiang Anyi stepped forward to salute, and the man bowed and said, "Xuchanghua has seen the young master."
With the flute in his hand, Xu Changhua smiled and said, "Just just now, I heard from the young master that he likes to play the flute, please play a song."
This person was straightforward, and Jiang Anyi's favorability deepened. He took the flute and tried the sound at his mouth. The yellow oriole sang again on the branches.
The sound of the flute is gloomy, and Xu Changhua praised: "Young Master's Miaoyin reappears the yellow oriole of spring, which is much better than Xu."
Unexpectedly, he could meet a soulmate in Anqi County. Jiang Anyi was very excited and said with a smile: "You are polite to me. Jiang has a reluctant request. Can you teach Jiang the song you just played with? Jiang is not talented, and I am willing to teach Brother Xu "The Singing of the Yellow Oriole" to me."
Drinking and drinking, life is happy. Jiang Anyi and Xu Changhua are becoming more and more speculative. Shi Tou is puzzled and he keeps the table full of good dishes. Why are Mr. Jiang and Mr. Xu just drinking?
When the wine was 70% drunk, Jiang Anyi called the clerk to pay the bill. Xu Changhua smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, I'm going to tell you that this restaurant is the property of Brother Yu. This meal is my treat. Today I'm happy, so I'll leave you here."
As he said that, he stood up staggeringly and left.
"The white horse is adorning the golden ban, and it is flying northwest. I want to ask who the family is, the You and the Ranger..."
The singing came, with unruly and heroic spirit. Jiang Anyi slapped and said, "Brother Xu is really a hero. Oh no, I forgot to ask where Brother Xu lives, how can I reply tomorrow?"
Shi Tou smiled and said, "Young Master, you are confused. Just now, Mr. Xu said that this restaurant belongs to him. You can tell if you ask the guy."
