There was a "Closed" sign at the entrance of Baishan Building, and four clerks stood at the entrance to prevent anyone from entering. There was already a mess of porridge in the hall, Guan Xiaokun collapsed on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, Zhang Hongyan and others were panting from exhaustion, and Kuai Peng kicked Guan Xiaokun hard, still puzzled.
"You guys are enough, you dare to do it in front of me!"
Xu Xiaogong let out a cold drink with a face as heavy as water. He was urgently invited by the people sent by Guan Xiaokun. As soon as Guan Xiaokun saw Ye Xiaotian and others broke into the Baishan Building, he immediately sent someone to invite Xu Qiyun. Of course he didn't dare to let his father know about this kind of thing. Only Xu Qiyun.
Xu Qiyun and Rui Qingxing were drinking with Li Xuancheng at the mansion at that time, Guan Xiaokun said he had something to do and didn't go, but unexpectedly such an accident happened, upon hearing the news, Xu Qiyun rushed over immediately, Li Xuancheng and Rui Qingxing also came with him, arrived Only here is the real situation.
Zhang Hongyan cast a sidelong glance at Xu Qiyun, and said coldly: "My lord, shouldn't Guan Xiaokun be beaten up?"
Xu Qiyun took a long breath, and said with an ugly face: "Killing people is nothing but nodding, what are you going to do?"
Kuai Peng raised his eyebrows and said, "Young Master, what do you mean, I should just let it go?"
Xu Qiyun was silent for a moment, and said: "Guan Xiaokun's move is... of course it is very wrong, but... I hope you can let him go."
Zhang Hongheng, Qiao Zhenhua and the others looked at each other without speaking. Mao Wen's wisdom rushed upwards, and he was about to interrupt, but was held down by Ye Xiaotian.
Li Xuancheng stepped forward slowly, cupped his hands to Zhang Hongyan and the others, and said, "Guan Xiaokun's actions are really despicable. It is true to say that he violated the law of the king. However, it is enough to teach him a lesson. You guys don't really think about it." Send him to jail?"
Hearing this, Zhang Hongyan hesitated. He looked at Qiao Zhenhua and Liu Junyang, and the impulsive look on their faces was gradually fading away.
Indeed, it was very easy to send Guan Xiaokun to prison. Now that the stolen goods have been taken together, and there are so many of them, including the Yue Siye of the Imperial College, as evidence, even if Guan Xiaokun is the son of Shangshu, no one can exonerate him. However, if Guan Xiaokun is really sent to prison, it will definitely turn Guan Shangshu into their sworn enemy.
Although their parents may not be afraid of Guan Shangshu, but because of this, they set up a political enemy, and they are always watching in the dark like a poisonous snake, waiting to find an excuse for them, and the situation must be very embarrassing. Although Zhang Hongyan and others are young and energetic, they are the children of officials and eunuchs after all. They have been influenced by their ears and eyes since childhood, and they know how to weigh the pros and cons.
Li Xuancheng smiled slightly, and said: "I believe that after this incident, Guan Xiaokun will learn a lesson. Moreover, it is impossible to hide this matter from Guan Shangshu. After Guan Shangshu learns about this matter, he will definitely strictly control his son. Mr. Zhang, Be forgiving and forgiving!"
Le Siye walked forward slowly, and said to Zhang Hongyan, "Hongyun!"
Zhang Hongyan was studying in the Imperial College, he hurriedly bowed to Le Siye, "Mr. Le."
Le Siye said: "Guan Xiaokun's morals are corrupt and his behavior is bad. Our country's Zijian cannot stay. I will not let anyone who helps him steal green bricks and frame the Guozijian. However, I hope that the Guan family will take the initiative to let him leave. Guozijian. You and Guan Xiaokun are both supervisors. Although this matter has nothing to do with the Guozijian, once it gets publicized, it will inevitably damage the reputation of the Guozijian. I hope you will consider it carefully."
"this… "
Zhang Hongyan hesitated, but Ye Xiaotian was the one who actually cracked the case, he just let it go, does Ye Xiaotian agree? Zhang Hongxuan looked at Ye Xiaotian inquiringly, Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Master Si Ye's words are reasonable, Brother Zhang, take a step back, the sea and the sky are brighter!"
"Okay! Bring the money, let's go!" Zhang Hongyan finally gave in, Le Siye took a deep look at Ye Xiaotian, and actually bowed to him: "I will remember the kindness of your step, Le Mou!"
When Tang Xianzu, Ye Xiaotian and others left the Baishan Building, Mao Wenzhi still felt aggrieved. As soon as he left the Baishan Building, he said to Ye Xiaotian: "Brother, is the Guan named so cheap?"
Ye Xiaotian looked at Zhang Hongyan's back, smiled and said: "As Guan Xiaokun, if he is sentenced, he may not be punished. But if he does such a thing, even if he is not sentenced, do you think he can forgive him lightly?"
Mao Wenzhi said: "But..."
Ye Xiaotian patted him on the shoulder, and said: "There is an old saying: toughness is easy to break! If you endure for a while, you can endure it forever. If you get more benefits from compromise, why hold on to it?"
In the hall of Baishan Building, Guan Xiaokun got up in embarrassment, leaned in front of Xu Qiyun, wiped his nosebleeds, and said embarrassingly: "Little Grandpa..."
Xu Qiyun's face darkened, and he said coldly: "I came here today to humbly plead for you, just because you and I are brothers. I never thought that you would do such a thing in order to win the bet, even I am ashamed to follow you!"
Guan Xiaokun's expression changed, and he said, "My lord, I'm afraid we'll lose..."
Xu Qiyun flicked his sleeves, and said in a cold voice: "Xu is ashamed to be with people like you, from now on we will have nothing to do with you!" Xu Qiyun turned around and left after saying that, Li Xuancheng took a deep look at Guan Xiaokun, and followed Xu Qiyun. go out.
Rui Qingxing hesitated for a moment, and said to Guan Xiaokun: "If you lose, you lose. Why... you... hey! You..."
President Rui Qing sighed, and chased after Xu Qiyun. Guan Xiaokun stood there blankly, looking at Xu Qiyun's back as he walked away, looking devastated. At this time, a steward of Baishan Building came to him and said in a low voice: "Young master, master already knows about you, master wants you to return home immediately!"
When Guan Xiaokun heard this, his expression changed immediately...
※※※
On the streets of Jinling, Mr. Xia looked left and right on his horse, and said worriedly, "Jinling City is so big, where do we go to find Yingying? I said fifth, are you sure Yingying will come to Jinling?"
His fifth son hurriedly rode his horse and approached, saying: "Father, I have inquired about it. Ye Xiaotian was taken to Jinling, and my younger sister must have come to look for him, that's right!"
Mr. Xia scratched his head and said, "This is a vast sea of people..."
Xia Lao Wu said: "Father, don't worry, my sister came to Jinling to find Ye Xiaotian, as long as we find Ye Xiaotian, are we afraid that we can't find my little sister?"
Old Man Xia said eagerly, "That's right! Go and find out, where is the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment?"
Just as he said this, Xu Qiyun, Li Xuancheng, and Rui Qingxing walked towards him. Xia Laowu immediately pointed at them with a horsewhip, and said in a rough voice: "Hi! I have a question, how can I get to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment?"
He was referring to Li Xuancheng. Li Xuancheng saw that they were all wearing the robes of the Yidibian tribe. They all looked rough and did not get off their horses when they asked for directions. Their words were too impolite. Li Xuancheng was very unhappy, his face sank slightly, and he didn't answer at all. .
Rui Qingxing's father is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Hearing that he was looking for the Ministry of Punishment, he couldn't help but look at them a little more, and said in a strange way: "Do any cat or dog in the Ministry of Punishment get in? If you want to file a complaint, go to the Jinling Mansion."
"Oh, I'm just asking for directions. Your nose is not your nose and your face is not your face. Are you foreigners who bully us?" The members of the Xia family are also used to being overbearing. As soon as he got up, he jumped off the horse, grabbed Rui Qingxing's collar in a "peng" manner, hit him on the head with the whip and said: "Boy, try pretending to be garlic for your fifth master!"
Xu Qiyun rushed from home in a hurry when he heard that Guan Xiaokun had an accident, and he didn't even bring any servants with him, but he was used to domineering in Jinling City, so how can others be so arrogant, Xu Qiyun's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Where are you barbarians?" Come on, you dare to be so arrogant in Jinling City!"
Yingying's six brothers all came. Seeing this posture, the other five people got off their horses one after another and rushed forward aggressively. These people were all aggressive, and at first glance they were not easy to get along with. Xu Qiyun panicked at the sight , wouldn't it be unfair to be beaten up by some ignorant barbarians
Xu Qiyun didn't know whether these Huawai barbarians knew the name of Duke Wei's mansion, but right now he could only reveal his identity, and just as he was about to reveal his identity, his uncle Li Xuancheng suddenly tore off his belt and took off with a "wow" He took off his outer robe, and said coldly: "How dare you wait for the law of the king?"
Xia Laowu kept his eyes fixed, and shouted involuntarily: "Wow! Dragon Robe!"
Uncle Li Guo's face turned dark when he heard it. Mr. Xia had traveled all over the world and was well-informed. He hit his son on the head with a horsewhip and cursed, "Nonsense! This is a boa robe!"
Xia Laowang suddenly said: "Oh! So he is a prince!"
Uncle Li Guo couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed his sleeves, showed them the gold silk embroidery on the robe, and said angrily: "Keep your dog eyes open to see clearly, this is neither a dragon nor a python, It's a flying fish!"
It's no wonder that the Xia family brothers don't know each other. In fact, apart from Nanjing and Beijing, where Jinyiwei often haunts, people and even officials in other places often mistake flying fish clothes for python robes or even dragon robes.
Emperor Wanli's grandfather, Emperor Jiajing, also mistook the Feiyu robe. It was the 16th year of Jiajing, and Emperor Jiajing had been emperor for 16 years. One day, Emperor Jiajing held a palace banquet, and Minister of War Zhang Zan came to the banquet happily wearing the flying fish suit that Emperor Jiajing gave him.
Emperor Jiajing was furious when he saw Zhang Zan's clothes, and asked, "You are the Minister of the Ministry of War, a second-rank official, why do you dare to overstep and wear a boa robe?"
Zhang Zan was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, what I'm wearing is not a boa robe, but a flying fish suit that your Majesty gave me."
Only then did Emperor Jiajing realize that he had made a mistake. The flying fish embroidered on the flying fish had two horns on its head and was shaped like a python. The only difference between it and the python was the addition of fins and tails, the difference was not obvious. Even the emperor can mistake the clothes of his courtiers, let alone the brothers of the Xia family.
The senior officials of Jinyiwei can wear the flying fish suit. At the same time, the emperor can also give it as a reward to some civil and military ministers and relatives of the emperor. It is because of the flying fish suit that Uncle Li was awarded.
Li Xuancheng wanted to show off the flying fish suit to scare these savages, but they didn't know the goods, and called out "Dragon Robe", Li Xuancheng had to explain it quickly, it's not good to be misunderstood.
The brothers of the Xia family looked at each other, they didn't understand that it was a python or a dragon, why they had to be called Feiyu, the old man Xia had already called out in amazement: "Are you Jinyiwei?"
Li Xuancheng lost his temper completely, and said disgruntledly: "You say yes, what is the matter with you looking for the Ministry of Punishment?"
Mr. Xia laughed loudly, and said: "I have heard for a long time that you Jinyiwei has great powers. I just need your help in this matter. The old man's beloved daughter was abducted by that bastard Ye Xiaotian and brought to Jinling City. Ye Xiaotian heard that he was detained in the Ministry of Punishment. You If you can help this old man find his beloved daughter, this old man will be very grateful!"
Mr. Xia gave his eldest son a wink, and Mr. Xia immediately took out an ingot of red gold from his bosom, and shook it in his palm. Li Xuancheng was stunned, and called out: "Ye Xiaotian? Excuse me... what's Ling Ai... Ling Ai's name?"
Mr. Xia stroked his beard and said loudly, "My surname is Xia, and my daughter's name is Yingying!"
Li Xuancheng's eyes lit up, he took a closer look at Mr. Xia, and said in his heart: "He is Miss Xia's father? It turns out that Miss Xia is a girl from the Yi tribe. No wonder her temperament and behavior are very different from my Central Plains girl. What did he say? Ye Xiaotian abducted him daughter?"
Li Xuancheng immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, bowed to Mr. Xia, and said respectfully: "It turns out that Mr. Xia was in person, and this junior, Li Xuancheng, happened to recognize your daughter. Don't worry, Mr. Xia, the matter of finding your wife is on this junior! "
