0281 Peony Flowers Die
Wu Youyi's confidence is not unreasonable, not long after Li Tong took his seat, there were Wu family slaves who came to report one after another, saying that the guests had entered the park.
Hearing the doorman's announcement, Wu Youyi's face was still gloomy and did not improve, so he only let those people wait in the vestibule, and he was not in a hurry to receive them, and only discussed with the young king the details of the transfer of family fortune later.
Of course, Li Tong was just foolish and perfunctory, and he nodded what Wu Youyi said. As long as it's not an instant luck, then everything is easy to say.
More than half an hour had passed, and many people had gathered in the front courtyard of the garden to see them off, and Wu Youyi felt that the heat was almost the same, so he ordered his family to bring those guests into the middle hall.
The guests came to the hall one after another, saluting the two kings, Wu Youyi still looked like he was ignoring, and when the seats were full, he handed the young king a meaningful look, and then suddenly slapped the case and roared angrily: "Wait for the Xijing disciples, why do you know why you are offended?" ”
Hearing Wu Youyi's angry words, everyone present couldn't help but look embarrassed and a little restless.
Wu Youyi was deprived of his position in Xijing this time, and these people more or less contributed to it.
But as Wu Youyi said, although Xijing is entangled in old feelings, it is still a part of the world after all, Wu Youyi is convicted alone, and it cannot change the general trend of the martial arts world now, no matter how small actions are made behind the scenes, the scene still does not dare to offend these new kings of the Wu family too much.
Not to mention the fierce Wei King Wu Chenghei in the Shendu City, even if it is Wu Youyi in front of him, although he is guilty and is about to return to the Shendu, no one can say when he will make a comeback.
Originally, Wu Youyi arranged the farewell place in Longqingfang, which was enough to arouse reverie, but now listening to his unkind question, the hall was full of silence for a while, and no one dared to speak out.
"The dignified king, guilty of embezzlement, you say, isn't this ridiculous? The world is dedicated to this family, and it is not as interesting as a small thing, and it is not compatible with people! ”
Wu Youyi continued to roar, and raised his hand to the back of the hall: "What I take is only the surplus of the wealthy room, but I have never been involved in the Magu where the small people rely for their lives, and I don't know how much mercy I have compared to the horizontal rooms in the Xiangzhan Tian cofferdam!" Human favor can tolerate these thieves in the fish and meat country, but it can't tolerate me! When a bandit enters the house, he must be the root of a bandit, and this matter will never be lost because I leave the country! The law forbids it, and the king is inevitable, not to mention the country thief! ”
Hearing Wu Youyi's anger, not to mention the reaction of the others at the table, Li Tong couldn't help but be a little impressed by Wu Youyi, regardless of crooked reasoning and righteousness, but had his own opinions.
After venting the depression in his heart after some angry words, Wu Youyi sneered again: "Xijing is a good person, could it be that those goods also know that I am out of power and refuse to meet with you?" Empty-handed, this is the number of gifts you send to the official? ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the people in the hall became strange, and no one could have imagined that Wu Youyi, a guy who was already guilty of embezzlement and was about to leave the country, would dare to openly ask for bribes.
"The king misunderstood, it was really, really a bad thing, his heart palpitated, and he was afraid that the ears and eyes in the market would be chaotic, so he avoided suspicion so much. Gifts to all goods, bring your own bag, after the king goes out of the city, you can bring it back. ”
Sitting at the head of the guest seat was the servant of Liu Hongji, the hero of Lingyan Pavilion and the Duke of Kuiguo, named Liu Renyi, seeing Wu Youyi's fierce expression, he could only reply stubbornly, so he could only send this plague god away first.
Hearing Liu Renyi's statement, the other guests also spoke out one after another, in short, they couldn't be guilty of being hated by Wu Youyi again. Although he was offended before, after all, the law does not blame the public, and it is difficult for this guy to take revenge on all of them. But if you have a new grudge, maybe this guy will have to bite hard after returning to the divine capital.
Seeing that everyone was so good at talking, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh that he was really hard and afraid of the horizontal, although Wu Youyi was no longer in a position at the moment, but he was clearly not stingy, which made people even more jealous.
After everyone made a statement, Wu Youyi sneered again: "Things are meaningless, but time and etiquette cannot be wasted." Since you are still respectful, you still prepare the number of gifts, and present the gift list first. It doesn't matter if you don't have it with you, although the thieves ransacked my home, there is still some pen and paper left, write it in the court! ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded for a while, they really didn't expect Wu Youyi to be so greedy, not only asking for bribes in court, but also letting people leave words as evidence, what is in this guy's brain?
But not to mention how they felt, after Wu Youyi said this, he ordered the house slaves to take paper and pens and distribute them in the hall, with a posture of vowing not to give up until the goal was achieved.
Li Tong watched everyone write the gift list silently, and he was also quite touched in his heart. Although Wu Youyi is not a good person, this unscrupulous style of acting really makes him quite envious, so that he suspects that this guy is the hero?
This kind of almost manic trait that explodes at the touch is really a lifelong act of martial arts, so why do you need to explain it to others!
When all the gift lists of the guests were collected, Wu Youyi carefully flipped through them, twisted out a few of them, and pushed the rest to Li Tongxi's case, and finally showed a little kindness on his face: "I am about to leave the country, and the gods have their own prosperity, and the goods in Xijing are limited." But the king of Hedong still wants to stay in the guest house for a short time, and the degree may not be continued, so he will give you this gift to help you grow without worry. ”
Seeing Wu Youyi coming like this, everyone present, including Li Tong, couldn't keep up with this guy's train of thought for a while.
Li Tong subconsciously raised his hand to refuse, but Wu Youyi held his hand and whispered in his ear: "Mutual trust of capital and industry, I know that the king of Hedong is embarrassed, and as a reward, you don't have to refuse." In the coming year, we will be in the same divine capital, and there will still be long-term affection to be treated, and the king will not have to complain about my empty words and unpaid work. ”
When Li Tong heard this, he just wanted to write a big word "service" for Wu Youyi for a while, you clever ghost, how many ghost ideas do you have?
However, he still pushed these gift slips back and smiled: "People are courteous, and they have their own dedication." Xijing is a courtesy, and he is the king of Jian'an. Not to mention that Xiao Wang has no clothes and food diseases, even if he has, he will not stand idly by if he wants to come to Xijing. If I accept this, how can I be embarrassed? I can really only thank Bumin. ”
After Liu Renyi, who was sitting in the guest seat, saw this, he also hurriedly said: "What the king of Hedong said is honest and skilled. Several families gathered this gift to send to the king of Jian'an, and when they came to Japan, they gathered the mansion of the king of Hedong, so they would naturally not be rude. ”
After Li Tong heard this, he smiled and nodded to the old man, and lowered his head to quickly glance at the content of the gift list.
Wu Youyi is not a very generous person after all, after hearing the words, he took back those gift lists, raised his hand and handed them to his family, and ordered to settle them with the servants of each family as soon as possible, so as not to delay the next trip.
With the goods in the bag, he also saw a smile on his face, so he ordered the house slave to bring some wine and vegetables as if he were receiving guests normally.
It's just that Wu Youyi made such a play, and the people in the hall really didn't have the mood to eat and drink, and after sitting for a while, someone got up and asked to leave.
"Don't be busy leaving, although I don't have much virtue to boast about in Xijing, but before I leave, I still have some words to tell you township people."
Wu Youyi raised his hand to stop the person who resigned, his face fell again, and his tone turned cold: "Previously, Qujiang was gathered and celebrated. Although things have come to an end now, they are not perfect. I don't need to say it myself, I am trapped by the traitors, and my position is not guaranteed. The king of Hedong was also not exempt from ......"
Speaking of this, he looked at the young king again and asked, "Does the king of Hedong want to tell this matter himself?" ”
Li Tong nodded after hearing this, Wu Youyi is gone, the successor Wei Yuanzhong will not come in a short time, this period of power vacuum in Xijing, he will naturally not miss it, it is indispensable to meet with the various families present, and he also needs to put on some postures.
Facing everyone's curious eyes, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and then said: "Or Feng Yue joked, peony flowers are dead, and ghosts are also romantic." I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, Xiao Wang was almost hit by this a few days ago, and a Pingkangfang servant entered the house to assassinate ......"
"Is that so?"
The Xijing families have been busy with the expulsion of Wu Youyi recently, and after reluctantly ending the Qujiang rally, they can't help but ignore the information about the king of Hedong.
Of course, after learning that the King of Hedong had won the favor of the Holy Emperor and served as the celebrant Shaoqing, he also attached importance to it in his heart, but he didn't have time to inquire in detail. Therefore, after hearing the king of Hedong say this verse, everyone was surprised for a while.
"Although things will go away at any time, the evil is still hidden. Before, I didn't say anything, worried that the crowd would be frightened and disturbed. Now I can say frankly, let you also be vigilant, do not be approached by evil spirits. This matter has entered the Shendu, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor has sent a special envoy to the Xiantai to enter Xijing in a few days. You have all lived in the countryside for a long time, and you are familiar with each other, so you will inevitably have to bother to talk about the details, so let you each have a preparation. ”
After saying this, Li Tong waved his hand and said: "Let's just say so much, today I intend to give a gift to King Jian'an, and if I say too much, it will inevitably lead to a lot of noise." If you want to know more, you may wish to ask for advice the next day. ”
Although his tone was flat, everyone present was uneasy, thinking that Xijing's biggest trouble now was only Wu Youyi, but he didn't expect that the king of Hedong would hide such a sensational event here!
Although the empress has killed countless Li clan relatives since her arrival in the dynasty, they are all pretentious and punished, and the assassination of a sect king is not a trivial matter. Not to mention that the king of Hedong is very different from those clans, he is close to the clan, and the empress's preference for him is obvious to all.
If this matter is used by someone with a heart, the turmoil that can be caused in Xijing may be far greater than the question of Wu Youyi's going!
Seeing that everyone was cold, Li Tong also smiled secretly in his heart, although he knew who did it, but he kept holding back, firstly, to avoid being used as a gun, and secondly, to blur the target.
Although he is favored again now, the official position of Si Li Shaoqing is not as good as Wu Youyi's Xijing stay. If you want to make people jealous, you have to have some other way, and now you are using this matter as a handle, you dare to stare at me? I think you sent someone to kill me!
