9. Five Poisons: Peerless Warriors
As if a switch was pressed, Li Sijin's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, first of all, Meng Yan no longer accompanies him when he gets up early every day, and his subordinates' hands and feet begin to be scattered, making him almost miss the early dynasty.
Colleagues also changed their faces, no longer full of politeness, flattery, either treat him as nothing, or retreat, lest it be too late.
When Li Sijin walked in, his colleagues squeezed their eyebrows one by one, waiting to see Li Sijin's jokes, and his desk was piled up with official documents overnight, which can be described as a mountain.
When he saw Li Sijin's ugly face, the colleague on the side got up and came to Li Sijin, smiled and threw him a fold, and was not polite, "Why are you still stunned, work." โ
Hurriedly catching the fold, Li Sijin was angry, how dare he speak to himself like this, and a mere petty official dared to command, "Bold, I'm your boss." โ
I don't want the other party to laugh when I hear it, and his face is full of disdain, "What kind of thing are you?" โ
"I'm a squire of the Ministry of Rites." Li Sijin held his head high, looking arrogant, he pointed at the other party and said, "You dare to treat me like this as a little five-grade official, be careful that I am disrespectful to you." โ
When he said this, the whole room burst into laughter, and the man laughed even more, rubbing his stomach and groaning, "This is the best joke I've heard today." โ
"What do you mean?" Seeing that everyone regarded themselves as monkeys, Li Sijin finally panicked.
"What do you mean, that's what you mean when you're done playing." The other party despised Li Sijin, and felt that Li Sijin was really a great man, don't be a good backer, you have to provoke others, he has offended many people before, others thought that there was a Dingguo Gong behind him who gritted his teeth and endured it, which would make Dingguo Gong not protect him, now it's okay, the stone that should fall into the well and the stone should fall into the well, and the cold bystander who should be a cold bystander.
"What are you doing all the noise?" A middle-aged man with a thin face and a goatee came in outside, and when he saw the commotion in the house, he immediately disliked it.
"I've seen Lord Shangshu." Everyone hurriedly gathered their breath and said nothing.
"Lord Shangshu." Li Sijin walked quickly to the middle-aged man, he was still holding a fold in his hand, looking like an office worker, but the expression on his face was not, "This group of people committed a crime, provoking the superiors, and asking Lord Shangshu to investigate." โ
"Who did you provoke?" Shang Shu didn't look at Li Sijin at all, but crossed over to Li Sijin and asked another person, who was the person who had joked about Li Sijin before, "Tell me about it." โ
"There is no such thing." The man had a kind smile on his face, he had a blessed appearance, he was middle-aged, this smile only felt amiable, "We just joked a few words with Master Li, and we didn't want him to take it seriously." โ
"In that case, then each has its own role." Shang Shu glanced at it for a week, and naturally saw the mountain of official documents on Li Sijin's desk, so he didn't say anything, bypassed Li Sijin and walked directly inside.
"Lord Shangshu, Lord Shang Shu." Li Sijin didn't dare to stop Shang Shu, he only dared to call behind Shang Shu desperately, and watched Shang Shu enter inside.
Li Sijin turned his head, and the other party was standing behind Li Sijin, with a bright ridicule in his eyes, as if he was watching a big joke.
"Shameless villains!" Li Sijin didn't want to scold.
The man's face changed, and he didn't want Li Sijin to dare to scold in public, but after all, he had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and he was much more stable than Li Sijin, so he only sneered, "Grasshopper after autumn, see how many days you can still jump." โ
Li Sijin immediately smashed the fold in his hand at the other party, clenched his fist and smashed it into the opponent's eye socket.
**
When Li Sijin went home, Meng Yan was sitting in the flower hall, holding a cup of fine West Lake Longjing in her hand, and the rising water vapor filled her eyes, revealing ruthless sarcasm.
Without the Meng family, you are a lost dog.
Li Sijin, who was walking quickly, stopped, turned to look at Meng Yan, revealing a bruised face, today's matter was so big that even the saint knew about it, and he was directly ordered to be suspended.
Not to mention the loss of his official position, his face was also lost, and his reputation was discredited.
"I'm back." Meng Yan put down the tea Gu and lowered her hands to despise Li Sijin, behind her stood the loyal maids, compared to the wolf bรจi unbearable Li Sijin, they were all brightly dressed and radiant.
Li Sijin stood there and didn't speak, he remembered what Meng Yan said in the Water Pavilion that day, and then connected with it, he could somehow guess that it was the Meng family who was making trouble behind his back.
"Look at you, you're a wolf." Meng Yan got up and walked around Li Sijin, she had been very moisturized in the past few days, her face was radiant, and her eyes were shining brightly, which made Meng Yan even more beautiful and moving.
In comparison, Li Sijin's appearance is much worse, there is a dead air in his eyes, his body has suddenly lost weight in the past few days, and he has lost his previous vigor, plus today's fight, he is more like a rat crossing the street, which is incompatible with this magnificent mansion.
"You slut." Li Sijin hated it so much that he couldn't wait to strangle this woman to death in order to calm the anger in his heart.
"I already know what happened today." Meng Yan stood in front of Li Sijin, covered her sleeves and smiled, "You really make me funny, you can't even hold your tail and be a man." โ
"You did it." Li Sijin said fiercely, he suddenly moved, wanting to step forward and grab Meng Yan, but he didn't want the servants outside to be prepared, so he rushed up and took Li Sijin down.
"You are bold." Li Sijin couldn't believe that the subordinates who were submissive to him on weekdays dared to tie himself with a rope, he was their master. "I am the master of the Li Mansion."
"I hold the power of life and death in their hands." Meng Yan raised her hand, and a maid stepped forward with tea behind her, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes were pleasing to her eyes, ignoring what happened in front of her.
Meng Yan took a sip slowly, and glanced at Li Sijin with disdain, "The resplendor of this mansion is all thanks to me, I am their food and clothing parents, and the business is as I like, what can you do?" โ
"A dignified woman still dares to overstep her bounds." Li Sijin took a sip, intending to struggle, but was pressed to death.
Meng Yan held the tea Gu and stared at Li Sijin for a moment, and smiled slowly, "Of course, including you, I also control you." โ
"It's really hurtful." Looking at the injury on Li Sijin's face, Meng Yan sighed, "It depends on the owner to beat the dog, they are really bold." โ
"Husband is wife, Meng Yan, I am your husband." Li Sijin couldn't bear it, "If you don't follow the three obedience and four virtues, I will divorce you." โ
"First." Meng Yan's gaze was parallel to Li Sijin's, her eyes were clear and sober, "You are not qualified to say a word to me; Second. Meng Yan laughed, "Are you sure you want to divorce me." โ
Li Sijin quieted down suddenly, he has already suffered today, just like Meng Yan said, without the Meng family, he is a mourning dog, anyone can kick him, and anyone can look down on him.
"I'm scared." Meng Yan straightened up, casually playing with her fingers, and looked at Li Sijin, who was forced to kneel, "I can suspend you, and it is even easier to dismiss the official." โ
She smiled mysteriously again, "Guess how many people will impeach you tomorrow?" โ
Li Sijin was silent, what he was most worried about was this, and only now did he feel the power of the Meng family, knowing Meng Yan's methods, he was afraid, but he couldn't let go and begged Meng Yan for mercy.
"Let me guess." Meng Yan reported to the officials in the court one by one, "Doctor Li, Mei Shicheng, Yang Zhongcheng, it's really unfortunate that they are all from Yushitai." โ
Every time Meng Yan said one, Li Sijin was afraid of the last one, and when the three words of Yushitai came out, Li Sijin completely lost his confidence, and softened his body to ask Meng Yan.
"Yan'er help me." He lost the majesty of the water pavilion that day, as if the person who boasted about Haikou was not himself.
"You beg me." Meng Yan blinked, turned around elegantly, sat back in her position and propped up her head, and said to Li Sijin meaninglessly, "Then you need to show sincerity." โ
Holding his hand and taking it back, the servants stood up one by one and raised their heads to look at Li Sijin, they were waiting to see what Li Sijin could do.
Li Sijin slowly got up from the ground, his hands were tied behind his back, and it was a little difficult to get up, but he still stood up, walked to Meng Yan's side, bent down and said softly, "Yan'er, see if you can ......"
"Be sincere." Meng Yan didn't raise his eyes, he really thought that he was still the Meng Yan who loved him to death.
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Li Sijin, just like that night, he rushed into Meng Yan's room, hugged Liu Ziyan and yelled, they also looked at it like this, their eyes were jumping with gossip, shining, and the corners of their mouths curved in a strange arc, as if they were smiling but not smiling.
The candle burst out with a soft sound, shining on the people in the flower hall, Li Sijin was silent for a moment, his eyes were full of cruelty, he was going to clean up this unknown woman sooner or later, causing him to lose face, and outsiders couldn't raise their heads.
"Yan'er, you and I are husband and wife." Li Sijin thought he was smiling gracefully, but in fact, the way he was now, his smile was ridiculous.
Meng Yan hummed, lowered her head and drank tea, ignoring Li Sijin's courtesy.
The shadow on the ground shook, Li Sijin lowered his head, his hands behind his back clenched into fists, and everyone's eyes hit him, like a brand, hitting Li Sijin's heart, so that he could no longer raise his head.
"Yan'er." Li Sijin suddenly knelt at Meng Yan's feet, looking at Meng Yan with a flattering face, his face was full of regret and deep affection, which made Meng Yan laugh for no reason.
Li Sijin, have you ever thought that there is today?
