Chapter 253: Rumors Spread
Time flies, and soon it is the season of lush foliage and pomegranate blossoms.
This morning in Pingyin City, a few small traders had nothing to do, so they found a corner, squatted in the shadows to enjoy the coolness, a slightly chubby mustachioed middle-aged man suddenly said:
"Have you heard? According to Prime Minister He Ruobi and Qin Cha Li Mi's secret visit, it was determined that the one who robbed the dragon Yigong was Liu Wen, the king of the Song Dynasty. ”
"Who?!" The young man who sells bamboo mats asked.
"Liu Wen, King of Song."
"You're sick in the head! Longyi Gong is something given to the emperor, and King Song is the emperor's son-in-law, can he rob Longyi Gong? ”
"yes." The middle-aged man who sold rouge also said: "What is the identity of the king of Song, I heard that last year's gift to the emperor was more than ten times that of Longyi Gong." With a grab of this bit of something? Mr. Zhang, what do you think? ”
The Mr. Zhang he said was an old man who set up a stall to write letters and measure characters, and because he had read books, many things were also in his head.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the old man slowly spoke: "I have also heard about this matter. Some people say that the purpose of robbing this Longyi tribute is to frame Yang Xiu, the king of Qi......"
"Humph! Yang Xiu's dog thing is still going to be planted! ”
"yes, he's really messing us up!"
Everyone scolded indignantly, and even didn't forget to spit a few mouthfuls on the ground.
Mr. Zhang explained: "This is the mutual calculation between these princes and generals...... the old man told everyone in detail about the general guesses he had heard.
After listening to him, the young man who sold bamboo mats said: "According to Mr. Zhang's meaning, He Ruobi is still stained, why did he change hands and calculate King Song?" ”
"I can't see it!" At the beginning, the chubby middle-aged man said without waiting for the old man to speak: "He Ruobi is also one of the nine elders of Kai Sui, but his title is only a national duke, and the official is not as big as the Song Wang." Can he feel comfortable? ”
"What does the King of Song say is also the emperor's son-in-law, the royal nobles of the Southern Dynasty, what is he not used to."
"The bigger the official, the less satisfied he is......"
"I heard that the worst is Li Mi." The old man suddenly said: "Originally, the emperor and the king of Song were in the same group, and whoever wants to find out something about the situation must be unable to save his life." Therefore, the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee are reluctant to meddle in this case. ”
Li Mi thought well at that time. Since He Ruobi is calculating King Song, it will definitely not end well. Therefore, it is better to prove that King Song is innocent, which can not only please the emperor, but also earn the favor of King Song. ”
But the group of people under him had subordinates arranged by He Ruobi. When they found some evidence, they immediately spread the news. Now in the whole of Shandong, even hawkers like us know that Longyigong was robbed by the King of Song......"
While several vendors were talking, two young men were also drinking tea in a nearby tea shed and could hear their words clearly.
"Brother Bodang, what should we do next?"
Wang Bodang was stunned by Xie Yingdeng's question, he really didn't know what to do at this moment.
Now that this case is known to the world, it is directed at the emperor and Liu Wen, the king of the Song Dynasty, and Li Mi is also in the whirlpool, what can he do? How can I help?
"Let's go find Second Brother Qin first."
"Okay."
After lunch, the two continued on their way, and finally arrived in Licheng in the afternoon of the next day.
Qin Qiong invited them back to the house and entered the back hall together, and after the maids brought tea and pushed it out, Qin Qiong chatted about family life: "Two virtuous brothers, how are you doing lately?" ”
"Second brother, why aren't you in a hurry?" Wang Bodang said: "I heard the teacher talk about you, and I was about to die. ”
Qin Qiong is not a fool, on the contrary, she is very shrewd, and she is also very knowledgeable in her world, otherwise she would not have friends all over the world.
After listening to Wang Bodang's words, he said in his heart: I really let my cousin guess correctly, then Li Mi really wants to be my benefactor in vain.
Turning this thought, Qin Qiong laughed: "This matter has nothing to do with me in the first place. At the beginning, I thought that the case was strange, so I entered the capital in advance. The king of Changping and the king of the backer can prove my innocence, and he He Ruobi can't find me. ”
"As for my cousin. Even if this matter has something to do with him, who would dare to bother with this matter? If something is really found, it is estimated that Li Mi and He Ruobi will not have time to cover it up. Now it's the two of them who are anxious. ”
Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng were dumbfounded.
The two of them were originally anxious about Qin Qiong, but they didn't expect that they didn't take it seriously at all.
Qin Qiong knew that these two people had no bad intentions, but they were just being taken advantage of, so she smiled very hospitablely: "Since the two virtuous brothers are here, don't rush back first." It just so happened that Ziqiao also came to Shandong recently, and secretly dealt with this matter, and it is estimated that he will come back in a few days, so everyone will get together. ”
"Brother Ziqiao is also here? He is a prince, is it okay to leave the fief easily? Wang Bodang was a little worried.
"He's an idle man. Even if the law does not allow it, he still changed his name and surname and left, I persuaded my mother and I a few times, he agreed happily, but he still went his own way, what can I do? ”
After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he asked people to prepare a banquet and warmly entertain Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng.
In the afternoon of the next day, Liu Wen and Xu Mao rushed to hear the news. When Wang Bodang saw Xu Maogong, he seemed to understand everything.
"Okay, it turned out to be your old bad idea."
As soon as everyone heard this, they knew what Wang Bodang meant.
Liu Wen's strategy, although he helped Qin Qiong get out, filled in Li Mi.
Wang Bodang is a student of Li Mi, and naturally he is deep in his heart towards Li Mi. And Xu Maogong is one of his close friends, although this time he used a trick to save Qin Qiong, but he harmed his mentor, which made him very dissatisfied.
Xu Maogong smiled: "Bodang, you are wrong to blame me, this plan is not something I came up with." ”
"Not you? Except for you, Xu Laodao, who else in this world can come up with such a plan. ”
Xu Maogong waved his hand again and again: "Don't say that." This time, I really didn't come up with any brilliant ideas. Under the account of Ziqiao Xiandi, there are also many wise and resourceful people, and they came up with such a strategy. ”
Wang Bodang glanced at Liu Wen, saw him nodding, and made sure that it was not Xu Maogong who was doing ghosts.
He can blame Xu Maogong, but his friendship with Liu Wen has not gotten better yet, so naturally he can't find Liu Wen's account, so he no longer speaks.
Seeing Wang Bodang like this, Xu Maogong sighed in his heart.
Although this friend is righteous, he is a tendon, and he has long been dead to Li Mi in his heart. It seems that if there is any big thing in the future, it is better not to confide in him.
Qin Qiong was also slightly surprised.
If it was before, Xu Maogong and Wang Bodang would have been together and would have brainwashed themselves with the world's major events.
But now, the relationship between Xu Laodao and his cousin seems to be more intimate, and as for Wang Bodang, it seems to be invisibly estranged a lot.
Did they have some disagreement?
And his cousin, could it be that he also has the ambition of the world?
Qin Qiong thought about Liu Wen's performance and felt that there was really such a possibility.
