Hearing this voice, Lei Yan turned around and yelled at Jin Yuanbao: "Why are you so reckless! If I hadn't been here today, you would have been doomed, you know!"
Jin Yuanbao nodded and kept saying yes, yes, with an apologetic smile on his face.
Among the crowd, a voice suddenly rang out: "Didn't Mr. Li's position as Jingyuan Marquis Prince be reduced by the Emperor?"
Wen Qingzhu's eyes lit up, he was actually here too!
Following the voice, Zhang Ke was wearing a Confucian scholar's long shirt, and he was not conspicuous among the many people.
Hearing this, Lei Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, Li Du, who was pinned to the ground, struggled again, stared at Zhang Ke and shouted, "Who are you! This prince is the prince of Jingyuan Hou! How did he get cut!"
Zhang Ke walked out slowly, holding an official residence newspaper in his hand, and said calmly: "This residence newspaper is from last year. Baiweilou happened to have a copy, so I found it."
The people nearby gathered around and after confirming that it was issued by the government, they all marveled.
Lei Yan directly held his forehead, this matter was going to be a big deal again!
Li Du wanted to stand up, but Lei Yan stepped on him and refused to let go, so he could only struggle in vain.
On the Juren side, the situation exploded. You looked at me and told me about the undercutting of Jingyuan Hou Shizi.
"It turns out that he is no longer the heir to the throne. Doesn't that mean his status is lower than ours?"
"That doesn't count. He has military merit."
"What military exploits does he have! It was all General Fu who defeated him!"
"Then doesn't he serve in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing?"
"So what? A dandy like him only has a job, how can he be compared with us scholars?"
…
Everyone was talking in a hurry.
Suddenly someone said: "Then isn't he a idiot!?"
This sentence completely drove Li Du into a state of madness, and he yelled crazily: "How dare you underestimate me! This is just a temporary measure for my father! Sooner or later, the position of heir apparent will still be mine! When the time comes—"
Seeing that Li Du was really crazy, Lei Yan simply bent down and knocked Li Du unconscious.
After getting up, he stared at Li Du who fainted and cursed secretly: Stupid!
But Jin Yuanbao next to him heard this and immediately shouted to the rest of the people: "Li Du said just now that this is just a temporary measure. Sooner or later, the position of heir apparent will still be his. We will see how he gets it when the time comes." This is the position of the heir apparent."
Many people turned around and asked Jin Yuanbao if this incident was true.
Jin Yuanbao pointed at Lei Yan and said, "What Li Du said just now, this elder brother couldn't stand listening anymore and even knocked him out. Isn't that right?"
The rest of the people heard the sound and looked over, earnestly asking for confirmation.
Lei Yan just wanted to turn around and leave. He said yes or no to this kind of thing!
When Jin Yuanbao saw that he didn't speak, he didn't press him. Instead, he turned to his friend and said, "We have to report the matter to the Yamen today, by the way! I tell you, Mr. Lei, the imperial envoy, is the most just! If he knew, he would definitely I won’t let Li Du go!”
Upon hearing this, Lei Yan slipped and almost fell.
Just as I was upset, a person came down the stairs.
Someone from the capital recognized him and exclaimed: "It's Mr. Lei, the imperial censor!"
Everyone turned their heads to look over, only to see Lei Xiao walking up to Lei Yan.
He looked at the candidates, introduced Lei Yan and said: "He is a descendant of the Lei family. I sent you here to help you. For my sake, please spare Mr. Li for a while. After all, you still have to concentrate on preparing for the palace examination." , if something goes wrong along the way, the gains will outweigh the losses."
Everyone understood the meaning of Lei Xiao's words, and besides, they did not suffer any loss, and seeing that the important ministers of the imperial court were so gentle and polite, they were even more impressed, and they all nodded and were willing to settle the matter.
Jin Yuanbao was even more excited and couldn't control himself: "Lei Lei Lei Lei, Mr. Lei! I, I, I, I am Jin Jinjin..."
"Golden Yuanbao." Lei Xiao gave a rare smile.
Jin Yuanbao nodded crazily, Lei Xiao greeted him, and asked his people to take Li Du out of Baiwei Building.
Wen Qingzhu upstairs let go of Xi'er's hand.
Looking at the backs of Lei Xiao and the others as they left, he sighed with emotion: "Master Lei is indeed worthy of his reputation."
After some operations, not only these people were saved, but also Li Du was saved, and the face of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion was saved.
Looking back at Zhang Ke, he was already surrounded by all the officials.
Wen Qingzhu looked down and saw Jin Yuanbao running up to Zhang Ke.
"Hello, hello, my name is Jin Yuanbao. Thank you very much just now, otherwise we wouldn't know that Li Du is no longer the heir apparent."
"It's okay, but I really can't stand it. Mr. Li bullies Brother Jin like this." Zhang Ke cupped his hands in front of him and seemed to respect him.
Jin Yuanbao felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head naively: "Actually, I have something wrong too, and I shouldn't have forced myself to stand out."
While chatting below, Wen Qingzhu above wrote a letter and asked Xi'er to deliver it.
"Sorry, give way." Xi'er arrived below and walked towards Jin Yuanbao politely.
When they were in front of them, Xi'er handed the letter to Jin Yuanbao and said with a smile: "This is a letter written by my young lady to the young master. I hope to invite the young master to our house tomorrow."
Jin Yuanbao was stunned for a moment, then his hands trembled and his face flushed with excitement: "Really, really... is it really for me?"
"Yes, the young lady said that the young master is politically brave, and the young lady admires you very much." Xi'er became more and more respectful.
Jin Yuanbao was speechless.
On the contrary, Juren next to him shouted: "Brother Jin, hurry up and accept the letter! Why don't you accept the beauty's invitation quickly?"
Generally speaking, this kind of elegant event often happens in spring and autumn.
Those who have unmarried daughters at home or are appreciated by nobles will be more likely to stay in the capital than normal people in the future.
"Oh!" Jin Yuanbao realized it later and nodded quickly.
Just when he was about to take it, Zhang Ke suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Jin Yuanbao: "Wait!"
Xi'er received the young lady's instructions early and asked Zhang Ke with an unchanging smile: "Mr. Zhang, do you have any questions?"
Zhang Ke looked at Xi'er with squinted eyes and asked warily: "Who is your young lady? Where does she live? What do you want from Brother Jin?"
Xi'er smiled lightly, her expression became lively, and Xi'er became more and more beautiful.
This smile instantly made Jin Yuanbao's heart beat faster.
Xi'er said bluntly: "My young lady is on the second floor, opposite the Champion General's Mansion. Today Mr. Jin offended Mr. Li, and Mr. Li is a man who will retaliate for his anger. My young lady wants to show him a clear path."
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that Wen Qingzhu's identity must be extraordinary.
But when Zhang Ke heard that this young lady lived opposite Fu Lie's house, he knew that the person coming was Wen Qingzhu.
He glanced at Jin Yuanbao and said warily: "I will accompany Brother Jin to see your lady now. As for going to your house, there is no need!"
I heard that Zhang Ke actually wanted to go with him and refused to let Jin Yuanbao go to see the beauty alone!
Someone immediately stood up for him and said, "Brother Zhang! This is your fault! The lady invited Brother Jin, so you just went along without blinking, and you didn't let Brother Jin meet the lady alone! Could it be that you are jealous of him?" !”
"I think Brother Jin may look average in appearance, but he has real talents! It's not easy for him to be invited by a distinguished person, so you must be jealous!"
"I think so! He only showed up after Mr. Lei caught Li Du. Why didn't I see him standing up for Brother Jin before?"
Everyone said something to me, and they all turned against Zhang Ke, thinking that Zhang Ke had evil intentions.
Seeing that everyone was beginning to accuse Zhang Ke, Jin Yuanbao quickly came out to persuade him to make peace: "Brother Zhang should have his own considerations, right?"
Zhang Ke looked at the many people besieging him. Although his face was calm, he didn't care much in his heart.
He turned to look at Jin Yuanbao and asked: "If you believe me, go see her now. Brother Jin and I are destined. There are some things you don't know. I don't want Brother Jin to be taken advantage of, that's why I said this!"
Zhang Ke's attitude was sincere and his eyes were serious, waiting for Jin Yuanbao's answer.
"Forget it, Brother Jin can do whatever he wants!" The person who doubted Zhang Ke at first didn't say much anymore.
Xi'er stood aside and gently reminded Jin Yuanbao: "It's the same whether Mr. Jin goes now or later. The lady has been free recently."
After hearing Xi'er's words, Jin Yuanbao turned around and asked, "Is it okay to bring one more person?"
Xi'er smiled: "Of course it doesn't matter. We are strangers after all. It's just Miss Xi Jing. If Mr. Jin is worried, you can bring someone over. Miss Jin won't mind."
When the people present heard this, they felt moved in their hearts.
Several people who had a good relationship with Jin Yuanbao couldn't control their thoughts.
They have good knowledge, and their looks are much better than Jin Yuanbao!
just in case…
"That's troublesome girl, I'll take Brother Zhang with me." Jin Yuanbao breathed a sigh of relief.
Xi'er turned sideways and pointed forward: "You two gentlemen, please come this way."
As a result, the rest of the people watched them leave the first floor and go to the second floor with envy and jealousy.
After entering the door, Zhang Ke saw not only Wen Qingzhu, but also a girl who looked like she was from Jiangnan.
"Hello Mr. Jin, I'm Wen Qingzhu, please sit over here." Wen Qingzhu was dressed in white today, without any makeup.
But this kind of Wen Qingzhu is even more amazing.
Jin Yuanbao felt that he had never seen such a beautiful girl before. His eyes widened immediately and his mouth opened unconsciously!
Xi'er herself was a little unhappy, but she still coughed kindly on her face: "Ahem!"
But Jin Yuanbao seemed to have not heard anything, and was still stunned.
Seeing this, Zhang Ke took a step forward to block his sight, and only then did Jin Yuanbao come back to his senses.
Seeing Zhang Ke protecting Jin Yuanbao like this, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "Mr. Zhang, long time no see, your place is over here."
She pointed to the spot to her right.
"Thank you." Zhang Ke sat down with the gold ingot.
Wen Qingzhu poured tea for them personally and introduced Nan Xiao: "This is Miss Nan Xiao, a friend of General Fu Lie. She came here specially to accompany me out this time."
Zhang Ke and Jin Yuanbao immediately paid tribute to Nan Xiao.
Nan Xiao nodded and looked at Zhang Ke thoughtfully. He looked average, not as pleasing to the eye as Jin Yuanbao.
"I wonder what Miss Wen has to do with me and Brother Jin?" Zhang Ke looked away, looked at Wen Qingzhu and asked straight to the point.
Looking up, Zhang Ke still looked wary.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "Young master Zhang, you don't have to be like this. There are only a few weak women here, you will be fine."
Glancing at Nan Xiao, his gaze rested on Xi'er for a long time. Zhang Ke smiled but said: "If you are weak women, there will be no weak women in the world."
Listening to them testing each other here, Nan Xiao couldn't sit still.
She stood up directly and pointed at Jin Yuanbao and Xi'er: "Come with me, I need help with something."
Xi'er nodded, but Jin Yuanbao looked at Zhang Ke and Nan Xiao at a loss.
Something is not right!
Seeing that Jin Yuanbao didn't move, Xi'er smiled and said, "Master Jin, can I trouble you for a moment?"
Seeing Xi'er speaking, Jin Yuanbao immediately stood up, nodded and said: "Okay, okay! Brother Zhang, I'll be right back!"
Zhang Ke said nothing, but his expression became more and more serious.
Jin Yuanbao was afraid that he would be unhappy, and just as he was about to ask, Zhang Ke finally spoke: "Well, leave early and come back early."
After they left, there were only two people left in the house.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the tea in front of Zhang Ke: "This is specially brought from the south of the Yangtze River. Why not try it."
