If Baihuang was here, he would probably have taken the lead in the charge by now and went to the lord's mansion to beat the Dengwen drum.
It's a pity that Li De is not Baihuang, he turned his head and continued to sleep after closing the window.
Of course, the most important thing is that from the description, Jiang Yuesheng should be old this year, at least in his seventies. Even if he is dug to Yunyang, it doesn't make any sense. We can't let the old man bow his waist to fight on the battlefield at his age. So Li De was not interested in dealing with such matters. The reason why he had a general understanding of the process of the Bloody Clothes Case was to see how the prince of Nan Chu, Xiao Hei, would deal with it. This would to some extent affect Yunyang's attitude towards Nan Chu in the future.
When the appointed time was approaching, Li De took Xiao Hei's invitation letter and went to Yunmeng City.
When entering the city, Lide suddenly understood why he had to be interrogated repeatedly along the way. Ordinary people from Nanchu are not eligible to enter such a large city, including businessmen who come to Nanchu are not eligible to enter this city. For the nobles living in the city, all food and clothing expenses are sent in by someone specially. This place is like a large palace, and outsiders are only eligible to visit outsiders if they are specially gracious.
The degree of prosperity inside is dazzling.
All kinds of large-scale buildings emerge in endlessly, and the exquisiteness of the carved beams and painted buildings is almost indescribable in words. A pillar may be carved with thousands of statues of gods, or it may be a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers; De saw extremely rare dragon scales inlaid in several places. If they were used as weapons, they would at least be of the lowest level, but now they are only used as decorations on the walls.
No one dares to question Nan Chu's desire for extravagance, because Nan Chu is not wasting rare resources on construction, but is really too rich, so rich that he has nowhere to spend it, so he can only consume the extra materials in the building. here.
Because of that invitation letter, Li De was brought to the most luxurious mansion in the city by the exclusive butler.
"My lord, Lord Yunyang has arrived..."
After entering the door, the butler bowed his waist and said respectfully to the young man sitting among the pile of documents.
"Lord Yunyang? What is he doing here..."
The young man behind the pile of documents hadn't finished speaking, but suddenly realized that a carp jumped up and said:
"Damn, I was not used to it at first. Lide, now I have to call you Lord Lord."
Xiao Hei strode up, took Lide's hand, and shook it vigorously; his face was full of hearty smiles, and he spoke the same as before, with a bit of chatteriness:
"Northbound originally wanted to come back with you. On the way, we happened to talk about the future. Who would have thought that you and the eldest sister disappeared together and couldn't be found anywhere. Xiaobai even went to the temple to help you burn it. Here are three incense sticks."
"Later I heard that you went back to Yunyang, and wanted to get you together, but there was another fight inside Yunyang. Although Xiaobai and I didn't think you would lose, it's not good to invite you here at this time, so we just Can wait any longer."
"Anyway, we finally met again... Come, come, come, I will hold a banquet for you tonight to cleanse the dust, have a few drinks, and talk about the past and future."
Lide glanced at the mountain of official documents behind Xiao Hei, and asked in a timely manner:
"recently, I am busy?"
Xiao Hei let out a breath, embraced his arms, and said with a wry smile:
"It's not about the bloody clothes case. You've come all the way, you must have heard about it. Some people accused the old general Jiang Yuesheng of killing people and breaking the law. The local government directly put the old general in jail and then put him on death row. The old general's wife is here There is a blood letter written on the shirt, and I brought my granddaughter to complain, such a big matter... It would be a lie to say that I am not busy."
Lide pointed to the outside of the room with a smile, and said:
"However, on my way to the aristocratic area, it seems that I rarely see people talking about these things, and it's very quiet."
Xiao Hei shook his head:
"It's nothing more than shutting the door to talk about their own family affairs. Every time it comes to the issue of standing in line, a large number of nobles will decline, even the first-class nobles will not be spared. Before they really make a decision, there will be no one. It came from the wind."
Xiao Hei patted the documents on the table, smiled and said:
"So when I asked their opinions, all the things they submitted were similar official words. What should be strictly investigated, a task force should be set up, and everyone should be given justice, but in fact? I don't know yet. Their tricks. Personal evidence and material evidence can be falsified. All the parties involved are talking about each other. The wind of public opinion turns eastward and westward for a while, and there are invisible hands fighting behind them. Hey, don’t look. They are standing on the dry bank one by one, with half of their legs sneaking in the muddy water."
Lide also laughed, and imitated Xiao Hei's appearance, patted on the document, and said:
"Then you still watch these things?"
Xiao Hei yawned and said:
"What am I doing watching these, to practice Mandarin skills with them? Am I not better than them? It's because people have been coming to check on me these two days, so I simply piled up the documents and hid behind them to sleep. Wait until the old man The housekeeper called me, and I got up again, pretending to be dealing with official documents, and sent them away."
Lide said with emotion:
"Procrastinate, just procrastinate."
Xiao Hei also sighed with him:
"Yeah, but what can I do? I can only paddle beside those old stubborn people until they surface. Li De, you just came to Nanchu, and you may not know many things well. Wait until today You will understand about the banquet at night. But don’t worry too much, Xiaobai will come tonight, so there shouldn’t be too much trouble this time. As for the matter of [Breaking the Sky] that I wanted to discuss with you, I should ask you again. It was postponed later... My father pushed me to investigate the bloody clothes case, and until this matter is over, my every move will be closely watched."
Lied patted him on the shoulder and asked:
"Why are you handling this matter? Shouldn't this matter depend on your father's attitude? I heard that this time is completely a struggle between the war faction and the peace faction nobles. The bloody coat case is just a knife in their hands .If you really want to cut through the mess quickly, let your father stand up and say a few words."
Xiao Hei shook his head:
"I don't know what my father's attitude is, or I'm afraid my father can't decide his own position. Li De, I don't know if you have heard that our Nanchu army is actually scattered among the nobles. In my hand. When it comes to the issue of standing in the team, not only the nobles have to participate in the breath-holding contest, but my father can't easily express his attitude, so he can only let me, who is a son, come out and be a grandson to everyone."
Xiao Hei looked at Li De and said with a sigh:
"That's why I envy you. You are already a lord at a young age. You can do whatever you want and play wherever you want. Over the years, Xiaobai and I also like to go outside, because the outside world is still Be more free. Returning to Nanchu is like returning to a cage, where all kinds of human relations make people unable to lift their feet. Alas... In short, every family has its own scriptures that are hard to recite."
