Chapter 61: Becoming a Villain (Part I)
The south of Fengjing City is a place where ordinary people gather and live, but this area is also the most lively and prosperous place in the whole Fengjing, Nanshi is located here, all the bulk business and trade are done here, and many foreign merchants can be seen here.
Qingfeng Restaurant is quite famous in the south of the city, it is said that its ancestors were born in the imperial kitchen of the imperial palace, and it is very famous that there are several specialties.
At a table by the window on the second floor, there are several diners, chatting and laughing.
"Brother Ting Xuan, I heard that you have been transferred to supervise the imperial history, it is really gratifying, I salute you."
Li Xun picked up his wine glass and toasted to He Tingxuan with a smile.
He Tingxuan suddenly came to the door today, saying that he was going to invite a guest for a drink, Li Xun was still quite surprised, but he didn't say anything, and happily went to the appointment.
"Thank you for what happened last time."
He Tingxuan picked up the wine glass and thanked him silently, He Haolin and He Tingxuan's father and son are both upright people, and they are very upright, but compared to his father He Haolin, He Tingxuan is slightly better, at least he knows how to be flexible, otherwise he would not have invited Li Xun to dinner today and thanked him for what happened last time.
In the last incident, although Li Xun interceded, Zhao Zhi let He Haolin and his son go, but afterwards, he still found a reason to order He Haolin to resign from the office, but for his son He Tingxuan, he did not settle accounts after the autumn, but was transferred to the Imperial History Observatory, sealed the official to supervise the imperial history, and the official rank was six grades.
The grade of the supervising imperial history is not high, and there is no qualification to enter and exit the main gate of the court, so he can only enter and exit through the side door, and he is not allowed to go to the palace unless he is doing anything. It was not until the third year of Chengping that the restrictions were lifted by Zhao Zhi's order, and from the original seven products to the six products, internal and external officials were subject to his supervision, and the authority was very wide, which was quite feared by hundreds of officials.
Li Xun smiled and asked, "Is Old Man He okay?" ”
He Tingxuan nodded, drinking silently, since his father resigned, he has been immersed in books and biography, but he is more busy than before.
He Tingxuan glanced at a big man sitting next to him, with a look of surprise on his face, this person doesn't drink either, from the beginning to the present, he has been eating there, and the dozen dishes and two large pots of rice on the table have been almost eaten.
"Hehe, Brother Tingxuan, my brother has a lot of food, don't be surprised."
Li Xun saw the look on He Tingxuan's face and smiled awkwardly.
"No wonder you order so many meals, but that's the reason, I'm afraid I don't have that much money to settle the bill."
He Tingxuan smiled bitterly, but he was also fair, took out his wallet, and put it on the table.
"It's okay, I've already paid for the meal, you don't have to worry."
This meal is estimated to cost three or five taels of silver, which is worth a month's worth of He Tingxuan, Li Xun knows the situation in his family, how can he let him pay this money.
He Tingxuan frowned, and said with a slight displeasure: "Since I have a treat, how can I let you pay?" I don't have enough money today, so I'll send it to your house in a few days. ”
"Gentlemen don't talk about profits, you invite me to dinner, I understand the intention, as for who gives the money, it's just a formality, it doesn't matter if you care, besides, three or five taels of silver, for me, I don't care, for you, I'm afraid it's a burden."
"Brother Li's words are wrong!"
He Tingxuan said: "A gentleman establishes the world with faith, and since I have spoken first, how can I regret it?" ”
Li Xun smiled bitterly twice, this person's temper is really stubborn.
At this time, there was a commotion on the street, and Li Xun turned his head to look, but it was a group of men who were beating up three young strong men, and the scene was quite hot.
He Tingxuan also frowned and looked at it, those strong men couldn't stand the beating, and begged for mercy, instead of letting those people stop, they were beaten more powerfully, and a son in a cyan brocade suit jumped there and shouted loudly.
Li Xun shook his head: "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid those people will be killed." ”
"In broad daylight, so rampant, is there any royal law?"
He Tingxuan stood up and was about to go downstairs, Li Xun hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him: "Brother Tingxuan, there are many of them, if you go down alone, I'm afraid you will have to ride in yourself, so let's wait for the people from the government to come." ”
"These people are rampant, I'm afraid that if the government soldiers don't arrive, those few people will be killed, how can I, as a court official, sit idly by?"
He Tingxuan didn't listen to the advice at all, waved his hand and shook off Li Xun's arm, and strode downstairs.
No matter what He Tingxuan said, he was also a court official, and those people were arrogant, and they didn't dare to do anything to him, so Li Xun didn't follow, and still sat there, drinking wine, and watching the excitement.
After He Ting announced it, it didn't play any role, but broke out a fierce quarrel with the boy in the blue brocade suit.
"Just a supervising imperial history, and daring to be an official, you are impatient."
After that, the boy in the cyan brocade suit punched He Tingxuan in the face, and then kicked him hard in the stomach, and in the scream, He Tingxuan fell to the ground.
Li Xun squirted out a sip of wine, slammed the cup on the table, stood up violently, and said angrily: "This group of bastards, even the court officials dare to fight, it's just evil." ”
"Big Bear, come with me."
Li Xun yelled and strode towards the stairs, Jiang Daxiong, who was eating, put down the rice bowl in his hand, took a few sips of the wine jug, wiped his mouth, and got up to follow.
"Big Bear, call me!"
He Tingxuan fell to the ground, the boy in the cyan brocade suit was punching and kicking him, seeing this scene, the anger in Li Xun's heart suddenly rose, and without saying a word, he stepped forward quickly and kicked at the man.
kicked the boy in the blue brocade to the ground, Li Xun rushed over, sat on top of him, and waved his fists left and right, slamming him in the face.
"Let go of my young master!"
Several subordinates rushed over when they saw the boy in the blue brocade suit being beaten.
At this time, Jiang Daxiong followed, punching one by one, clean and neat, but all those who were hit by him were muffled, their bodies flew down, and they passed out.
Li Xun glanced back, he knew how lethal Jiang Daxiong was, and he was worried about causing death, so he shouted loudly: "Da Xiong, be light, don't beat people to death." ”
"Got it."
Jiang Daxiong replied, no longer with his fists, but raised the person high, and then threw it out directly, his appearance, like a tiger falling into a flock of sheep, rivaled, more than 30 thugs of the boy in blue brocade clothes, just a moment of effort, they were all knocked down, lying on the ground rolling and wailing.
"My father is a prince, my mother is a princess, you dare to beat me."
The boy in the cyan brocade robe shouted loudly, revealing his origins.
Li Xun's raised fist paused in mid-air, and when the cyan brocade boy saw this, he said hatefully: "You dare to do it to me, the young master will definitely let you return it a hundred times." ”
Li Xun rolled his eyes, raised his fist, fell again, and shouted while fighting: "The princess is a fart, the emperor is still my uncle today!" Do it, do it, what can you do to me? ”
Seeing that he had already reported his identity, the other party was not afraid, and he still kept moving, and suddenly there was a look of fear in his heart, holding his head with both hands, and begging for mercy: "I was wrong, don't fight, if you fight again, you will die." ”
