Chapter 342: The Beacon Smoke Rises in the Capital
For the onlookers, this is simply a big deal.
You must know that the old general Chu is a respected old general of Zhu Qiguo, there is only such a small county lord left under his knees, everyone knows that the old general is holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth, and now he is being said like this, how can he not be angry?
But Li Pin hugged the woman in his arms tightly, and said fearlessly: "Today, the grass people inadvertently passed through the suburbs of Beijing and found that a group of gangsters actually attacked the county lord...... In order to solve it, in order to save the county lord, the grass people can only ......"
Li Pin said ambiguously, but for the people who were watching, it was enough to know the truth.
Seeing the woman in Li Pin's arms, and then seeing that there were indeed blood stains on Li Pin's clothes, everyone couldn't help but believe most of them.
And General Chu's face at this moment was almost as black as the bottom of the pot.
Li Pin was secretly happy in his heart, kowtowed to the old general Chu again, and said with a crying voice: "If the old general cares about his face and refuses to recognize the county lord, then the grass people will take the county lord back to the Li Mansion now, from today on, the county lord is the wife of the grass people, and has nothing to do with the general's mansion!" ”
These words were really righteous and awe-inspiring, and for a while, the eyes of the people looking at Li Pin were a little unbearable.
"Wait!" The old general Chu, who was silent for a while, finally spoke.
Li Pin turned around to leave, but when he heard the old general Chu speak, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he said with a sad look on his face: "What else does the general command?" ”
"Since you said that you saved Chu Chu, then the woman in your arms is Chu Chu?" The words asked by the old general Chu were actually a little strange, but Li Pin now felt that the general trend had been achieved, where could he think so much?
"That's natural, doesn't the old general have to make the county lord lose face to be satisfied?"
"You let the old man take a look." Old General Chu opened his mouth expressionlessly, in Li Pin's opinion, that was the last struggle.
"You ......" Li Pin looked like he had been hit hard, shook his head and ripped off the veil of the woman in his arms, and said coldly: "Since the general has to destroy the county lord, then from today on, we will break off with the general's mansion!" ”
"You really have nothing to do with the General's Mansion!" Just when Li Pin thought that what he had done was seamless, a lazy female voice sounded, and when she looked up, it was undoubtedly Chu Chu!
Ignoring everyone's surprised reactions, Chu Chu tilted his head and looked at Old General Chu and said, "Grandpa, aren't you going out?" Who is this person? Why is the eldest lady of the Shen family holding in front of our door? ”
"The old man doesn't know, why did the third son of the Li family run to our door with the eldest lady of the Shen family who he saved, and keep saying that it was from our general's mansion!" The old general Chu already knew from just now why Chu Chu had to stay at home today, it turned out that there was a villain who wanted to come to the door!
Shen ...... Shen Ruo? Li Pin subconsciously looked at the person in his arms, and found that the person he had been holding turned out to be Shen Ruo!
"It can't be!" Perhaps it was the sudden blow that made Li Pin panic, so much so that he subconsciously threw Shen Ruo to the ground, causing the people to suddenly exclaim.
"Third brother!" Finally, Li Yan, the second brother who had been in the dark Li Pin, still appeared, glanced at Shen Ruo on the ground with a frown, and said to the old general Chu unhurriedly: "If the old general doesn't want to marry our Li family, why use such a means, the eldest lady of the Shen family has no grievances with the Chu Mansion, and the old general Chu threw her to Pin'er with a disguise technique, which is really a loss." ”
"The ability of the second son of the Li family to sue the wicked first is really eye-opening." Without waiting for the old general Chu to get angry, Ouyang Haoxuan's carriage had already stopped in front of the Chu Mansion.
As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Haoxuan had already stepped out of the carriage, and behind him, it was Yun Yuexi, who was supposed to save people.
Li Yan's eyes flashed, knowing that Ouyang Haoxuan was not easy to deal with, and said cautiously at the moment: "Caomin doesn't know what His Royal Highness King Xuan means, but his father brought his third brother to Chu Mansion to ask for marriage, but was rejected by the old general Chu, and the grass people knew that the old general Chu looked down on the merchants and wanted the Li family to die, but the old general could tell him directly, why implicate the innocent?" ”
"That's not what the king found." Ouyang Haoxuan said coldly: "Previously, the prospective princess of this king received a secret letter, which said that the third son of the Li family intended to do something wrong to the county lord, and asked Xi'er to go to the rescue quickly, and this letter has been verified by the king, and it is from the hand of Mother Cui next to the Li family of the Yun family, I don't know how the second son of Li should explain?" ”
"Your Highness, the grass people have nothing to say about this, after all, what is the trouble of wanting to add crimes?" Li Yan's meaning made it clear that Ouyang Haoxuan wanted to cover up this matter for the Chu family, so it was not very simple to imitate a person's handwriting?
And Yun Yuexi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said secretly in her heart: "No wonder the Li family in Yunzhou can stand out among so many merchants and become imperial merchants." ”
There is a rumor in Yunzhou, called: "The smoke rises, and the four seas rise and fall." ”
The beacon smoke in this refers to Li Feng, the eldest son of the Li family, and Li Yan, the second son.
When I saw it today, Yun Yuexi knew why there was such a rumor.
Not to mention that because of Chu Chu's unexpected appearance, Li Pin's mind has been disturbed, but Li Yan can immediately push the matter onto the Chu family, and now even if Hao Xuan takes out the evidence of the secret letter, he can deal with it without panic, which shows that Li Yan's heart is very strong and will never be easily influenced by the outside world.
And such people are indeed the most difficult to deal with.
Of course, Li Yan didn't know that because of his appearance on this day, he was immediately targeted by Yun Yuexi and listed as one of the first people to be solved.
"The second son of the Li family, is this suspicious of this king?" Ouyang Haoxuan said lightly: "Presumably, when the Li family first came to the capital, they still didn't know much about the reputation of this king, and only the case found out by this king in the capital was impartial, so the second son of the Li family planned to go to the emperor to talk about this matter, and then hand it over to this king to investigate?" ”
Li Yan was stunned, the people around him were not embarrassed by Ouyang Haoxuan's justice for so many years, and they would naturally stand on Ouyang Haoxuan's side, but if it really made trouble with the emperor, in case this matter was really handed over to King Xuan to investigate, I was afraid that it would not only be the Li family that would be involved, but it was very likely that the Li family would also be involved......
"It seems that this matter is an attempt to provoke the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Li family, since it is related to the Li family, then don't bother Your Highness, the Li family will naturally find out." Li Yan quickly analyzed the pros and cons in his heart, and immediately said to Ouyang Haoxuan: "Thank you Your Highness for mentioning something, if it weren't for Your Highness, I'm afraid we would really resent the old general." ”
"Our Chu Mansion really can't afford the resentment of the Li family, what crime should the Li family be guilty of hurting the reputation of the royal lord in front of everyone today?" Finally, Chu Chu, who had been suppressing the fire, spoke loudly, pointed at Li Pin and said: "This person not only speaks falsely, but also slanders the county lord in front of so many people, don't you Li family take the emperor in your eyes?" ”
"The county lord is serious!" Li Yan lowered his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "If the county lord is dissatisfied, he can be punished, and the grass people will never object." ”
Chu Chu is not stupid, if she follows Li Yan's words today, and even punishes Li Pin, then she will definitely fall into a reputation for bullying.
Because in the eyes of the people, the Li family was also framed, the Shen family was also framed, and although the Chu Mansion was also framed, fortunately, there was no big problem, and people would naturally sympathize with the weak, and if Chu Chu really punished Li Pin, it would make people feel that she had no sympathy at all, and she would have an arrogant reputation, and then it would affect the image of the old general Chu in front of the emperor because of the old general's lack of teaching.
Yun Yuexi really laughed now, but for Hongyu, the brighter the young lady smiled at the enemy, the more she was afraid that the other party would die.
And in Yun Yuexi's heart, she already has a strong interest in Li Yan.
Every word may be a pit, which is easy for Li Yan.
As Li Yan's opponent, if you don't pay attention to it, you may be killed, and you don't know why.
Ouyang Haoxuan naturally noticed this, and said indifferently: "The county lord is merciful and unwilling to punish Li Pin, but the majesty of the royal family is not allowed to be blasphemed. ”
……
Inside the imperial examination field.
Yun Mingsi has been restless since he entered the examination room, and when the examiner handed out the papers, looking at the questions on the papers, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, why are these exam questions exactly the same as those given to him by the mysterious person?
It turned out that he had already gone to bed last night, but a sharp arrow shot through the window, so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
It's just that when he saw that the Spring Quire test questions were written on it, he couldn't help but be ecstatic, but after the ecstasy, he was also skeptical.
After all, the Spring Festival is a big deal, how can anyone leak the question?
But if this is really a test question, then don't you make a lot of money?
Therefore, Yun Mingsi immediately took advantage of the night to drag up the scholar he had specially found to teach his homework, and asked him to do all the test questions.
Of course, he couldn't be stupid enough to tell the other party that this was a Chunqiu test question, but he felt that this scholar was not qualified to participate in the Chunqiu, so naturally he wouldn't know that he used his answer.
At this moment, Yun Mingsi was very happy as if he had won the champion in advance, completely forgetting that fortune and misfortune depended on each other, how could there be a pie in the sky?
Just after he confidently wrote down all the answers he had memorized last night, he was suddenly held down by someone, and then the whole person was set up by two people, gagged and walked out of the examination room quickly.
"What are you doing?" Yun Mingsi was taken outside the examination room, and when he saw that the person waiting outside turned out to be Wen Guanyu, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Lord Wen, the grass people are taking the exam, you are too much, right?" ”
"Yun Mingsi, someone reported that you spent a lot of money to buy the test questions, and now your answers are exactly the same as those written on the test questions in your room, how can you explain them?" Wen Guanyu shook off the test paper in his hand, and it was the one that Yun Mingsi had obviously burned last night!
