Chapter 19: Escape from the Overboard
Li Wei continued to talk about the thick black science of life, "However, the definition of a clean official in the people and the officialdom is different, in the eyes of the people, a clean official with a clean sleeve may be a corrupt official in the eyes of the officialdom, and the big corrupt official in the eyes of the people is likely to be a clever official trick, wearing the hat of a corrupt official to drive the righteousness of eliminating evil, of course, he must have a backer, he will have a lot of unbright means in the officialdom to peel off the cocoon, punish the traitor and eliminate the evil, this is the black eats the black, but this method works, Protect yourself and kill the enemy at the same time, wonderful! ”
After Li Wei finished speaking, she concluded again, "In the eyes of the younger brother, the way of being an official couldn't be simpler!" I can make a fortune for the sake of fame and profit, as long as I don't hurt the interests of innocent people, don't harm the stability of the people, don't disturb the rules of the monarch and the court, and don't violate the national righteousness, I can do whatever I have to do! ”
The vague darkness in Lu Xiao's heart, which was as vague as a reflection in the water, suddenly became brighter, and he looked sideways at the person who had been drawing his gaze to the person around him, and the old man lying on the ferry boat also sat up at some point, looking at the young man standing on the bow of the boat, showing off in the wind, although small but excellent, bursting out with a light that people could not ignore.
"......" Li Wei gave a speech, thinking that it was not perfect, but it was also loud! But why is it so quiet? The sound of the water on the river is still the same, but there is only the sound of the captain holding the boat.
"Papapa-" The applause finally came, but Li Wei listened to the distance from the sound source as if something was wrong! She turned around abruptly and saw that there was an extra ferry boat behind her, although the person on the boat had his back to her, Li Wei still recognized the figure of the person pulling the wind!
Regent! Although there is no purple and gold robe, this black and gold coat is even more domineering!
The guards did not salute, which shows that the regent has already told not to reveal his identity.
Although Li Wei really wanted to chat with Lu Xiao about the scenery again, but Guan Qianyi's aura was too strong, she shook her body and hurriedly said goodbye to Lu Xiao, saying that her family had found her and had to go home.
Lu Xiao is naturally not easy to keep. looked at Guan Qianyi slightly, her face was not clear, but her posture was outstanding, she was by no means extraordinary, it seemed that Xiaowei's family seemed to have a very bad temper, and she didn't know if she would be punished.
Li Wei first jumped back into the boat that had been following her, the guards stood straight, the captain hurriedly rushed the boat back, Li Wei saw that the regent's small ferry was still moving forward, and the people on the boat didn't look at her, she tried to signal for a long time, her eyes twitched, and she still couldn't get a look from him. Seeing the Regent's ship pass in front of her eyes, she said unhappily, "Eh, am I the only one going back?" I don't want to go back on my own! You all go to the flower boat to spend all day and wine, warm nephrite, let me think about it behind closed doors, I firmly oppose it! ”
Go on the loose? Guan Qianyi and Lu Xiao had black lines on their faces at the same time: How did the gold in this girl's head just turn into warm nephrite? Is this the same person?
The guards have always been careful in their duties, especially the regent's guards, who are simply ice cubes and puppeteers of the family. Li Wei made so many moves, and people didn't give them a look, if there were still a few young guards, they gave the emperor a few sympathetic glances.
Guan Qianyi was still silent, and Li Wei couldn't help yelling, "Hey! The boat ahead, say you! Stop! The big brother in the black and gold-rimmed robe, I know that you are long and jade, and the jade tree is in the wind! But you can talk to me! If you don't answer, I'll assume that I'm acquiescing! In less than three seconds, Li Wei immediately grabbed the pole of the ship, staggered and began to support the boat, and the guards around her changed their faces and hurriedly protected her from falling into the lake.
The captain didn't dare to compete with her little son, looking at this must be the son of a rich family, so he gave her the right to take the helm, not to mention, it really let her catch up, although the speed is slow, but the river is fog-free and has a clear vision, and he will not lose the boat in front of him.
"Brother Wei, why don't you come over, it's too dangerous for you to hold the boat alone." Lu Xiao shouted.
"I can do it myself! It's not far away, look, the flower boat is ahead! ”
Visually measuring the distance of twenty meters, Li Wei thought that she could still hold on, but why did she always feel that her ferry was a little shaky? The faces of the guards were also wrong, and they looked around vigilantly, Li Wei only felt a shock under his feet, and the boat suddenly turned upside down!
Wow, there's an assassin! Li Wei closed her eyes and sank into the water, vaguely saw several black figures under the water, and hurriedly swam away, a man in black chased after her, grabbed her ankle, Li Wei kicked hard, kicked someone's nose badly, the man in black was angry, swam over in a few steps, and caught up with Li Wei, a rookie in the water, fortunately, the guards arrived in time, and the result was the man in black!
"Brother Wei, here!" Lu Xiao stretched out the bamboo pole in front of her, Li Wei hadn't reached the bamboo pole yet, but saw that Lu Xiao's boat was also overturned and destroyed by someone with one palm, Li Wei's body sank, and swam to the periphery, hearing the voice behind, obviously Lu Xiao was coming to save herself, Li Wei surfaced and took a few breaths, and saw that the river was already in chaos.
There were people in black who threw ropes on the side of the flower boat and forcibly boarded the boat, Cui Lei took the guards to resist above the boat, the screams on the flower boat were one after another, Li Wei felt that she couldn't breathe, her head seemed to be a little dizzy, and there were guards in her ears to her side, "Master, there is smoke on the river, don't inhale." ”
The guard helped Li Wei, who was close to being unconscious, and swam towards the shore. There were many people in black in the water, although the two guards tried their best to protect Li Wei, they still couldn't resist, and some people in black sprinkled poisonous smoke, and the guards gradually lost their resistance and sank into the lake. Li Wei held the hand of one of the guards tightly, ordering herself not to faint, but her body gradually sank into the dark and cold lake.
The moment Guan Qianyi jumped into the water, the guards were shocked, and Cui Lei then gave an order: "Don't let anyone go!" Those who do not surrender will be killed! ”
Compared with the sound of fighting on the shore, the lake is extremely quiet, Li Wei grabbed the guard's hand and kept pushing up, but as the oxygen decreased, her head was also dizzy, and she had no strength left, she desperately lay down her body, even if she fell down, she had to slow down the sinking speed, but the guard was estimated to have completely fainted, so she could only sink with it, until a pair of hands held up her body, she felt that she was constantly rising, and then rushed out of the water.
"Majesty? 陛xià? The low figure sounded in her ears, Li Wei couldn't open her eyes, so she had to answer, afraid that he wouldn't hear it, so she kept responding, and heard him say what to let go? Let go? No, absolutely not! Instead, she held the lifesaver in front of her with both hands, feeling that who had been pulling her right hand, the right hand she had been holding tightly, was broken, she felt uneasy, and grabbed it with her other hand.
"Good, let go, you're all saved." Such a familiar voice, Li Wei knew that she was saved, and her body was completely relaxed, but she still grabbed the person in front of her, and did not let go tightly and firmly.
On the river where Guan Qianyi took Li Wei away, Lu Xiao was a step late, followed behind them, and the old man stopped his movements, "Young master, that little boy will be fine, let's go back first." ”
The fog on the river began to fill, and the people watching the flowers on the other side only knew that something had happened to the flower boat festival, but they could not see the specific details. The ferries are carrying tourists one after another.
The next day, an imperial list was posted, saying that water piracy was rampant, and the official family borrowed flower boats to sell illicit salt, which was served by the Praetorian Guards, and at the same time, martial law on waterways, and strict regulations on the date of the flower boat festival.
Li Wei woke up to her own dragon bed, her nose was a little stuffy, she was not afraid of a small cold, mainly because of the cold face of the regent, which made her afraid to look at it once, especially since he had been sitting on the edge of the bed without saying a word. Why don't she pretend to be pitiful?
She closed her eyes and looked weak, "Ahem, Regent, I know it's wrong." ”
He glanced at her, his dark eyes were dull, his ice face was ruthless, and the corners of his lips were not curvature.
"I knew I was wrong. Don't dare in the future. He coughed slightly.
He snorted coldly, "As an imperial daughter, when you use power for personal gain, you should be punished heavily." ”
“…… Penalize? "What is the punishment? Does the state still have a punishment law against me? Li Wei waited for him to continue.
