Chapter 256: The Li Family's Old Mansion
"This, this is your old house, are you mistaken?"
Liu Ximing looked at the layers of buildings in front of him and was a little speechless.
The accompanying Dou Yuquan, Du Liangji and others also all looked alive.
Today is the second day after Liu Ximing and others arrived in Chengdu, and at around midnight, Liu Ximing and other candidates went to the Xuezheng Yamen to record and verify their identities.
After these were busy, the Liu family's horsemen divided into several routes, and Chen Yiding, Xu Wei took Wu Demeng and others from the personal guard camp to the city to find a tooth shop to see if there was a suitable yard for rent.
Today is only May 23, and there are still 22 days before the hospital exam, and it is not a matter for a large group of people like the Liu family to live in the inn all the time.
Liu Ximing, Dou Yuquan, Du Liangji and other five people took Li Biao and other 20 or so guards to Dou Yuquan's old house to have a look.
The old house of the Li family is in an alley on the edge of the Nanhe River in the east of the city, and there are several shops selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings at the entrance of the alley, which is relatively quiet on the whole.
However, Liu Ximing and the others walked to the door of the Li family's mansion only to find that the Li family's mansion was still there, but the owner of it had changed.
If it's just an ordinary person, forget it, the key is......
Liu Ximing looked at the plaque of the Jinyi Guard's Thousand Households hanging at the door and the few Jinyi Guards standing in green brocade robes and embroidered spring knives on their waists, and their scalps were numb, Dou Yuquan's matter was not related to Jinyiwei?
That's a fucking joke.
"What the hell!"
The brocade guards standing guard at the gate saw Liu Ximing and a group of people standing near the gate for a long time, and kept looking around at the door.
Looking at the group of people, except for a few who were dressed like scholars, the other dozens of people were all dressed in Tsing Yi, and immediately a few Jinyi guards shouted and walked over to this side.
"Oh no, let's go."
Liu Ximing knew that it was not good when he saw this formation, Dou Yuquan had a lot of secrets, if the disaster of the Li family's destruction was really done by Jinyiwei, wouldn't it be a self-defeating trap, he should even pull Dou Yuquan to run towards the alley.
However, his action stabbed the beecomb at once, and when the few brocade guards who chased after saw this battle, one of them immediately took out a Xun-shaped utensil and blew it.
A low whining sound sounded in the alley, and before the Liu family was halfway through, dozens of men dressed in black narrow-sleeved samurai uniforms rushed out of the shops at the mouth of the alley.
"噌", "噌", "噌"
Liu Ximing watched the entire alley blocked by these men who were drawing swords, so he had to pull Dou Yuquan to stop with a pause.
At the entrance of the alley, a six-foot-tall broad-eyed man stood up and roared angrily: "Where did the thief come from, dare to break ground on the head of our Jinyi guard, hurry up and arrest him, otherwise he will be killed." ”
"Kill", a group of brocade guards shouted in cooperation.
Liu Ximing hurriedly smiled and arched his hand towards the wide-eyed man, "You are a good man and slow to move, it is really a misunderstanding, we are the scholars who entered the city to catch the exam, because they took the wrong way and strayed into the precious land, there is no offense, please forgive me, we will go." ”
The wide-eyed man looked at the robes of the scholars on Liu Ximing's five people, and asked a little suspiciously: "Since you are an ordinary scholar, why do you want to turn around and run, it is obvious that there is a ghost in your heart." ”
After the man finished speaking, he opened his eyes and shouted to his subordinates behind him: "Take them down first, bring them in for interrogation, and then talk." ”
At this time, the rear of the Liu family was also blocked by the Jinyi guards who rushed over, and when they heard this man's greeting, everyone began to approach Liu Xi's side cautiously.
"Don't don't, don't", Liu Ximing kept waving his hand to show that he had no malicious intent, "It's really a misunderstanding, don't get excited, you have something to say." ”
But where would these brocade guards care what he said, seeing that they were about to approach, Li Biao looked at Liu Ximing a little anxiously, expecting him to give an order.
After all, this is in the city, and the big guys didn't have any weapons with them before they left.
However, you can't really just be tied up.
"Wait", at the moment of crisis, Liu Ximing finally reacted, he crossed his hands on his hips and yelled at the gang in front of him, "I am your friend of Hong Feijie and Hong Qianhu, by the way, and He Qianhu too." ”
As if there was magic in this sentence, the brocade guards who were approaching cautiously stopped suddenly, and straightened up one by one to look at the wide-eyed man.
The wide-eyed man stared at Liu Ximing with his eyes narrowed, "Don't you want to bluff me, where are Hong Qianhu and He Qianhu known to ordinary people." ”
"Hehe, do you think I look like a normal person?"
Liu Ximing smiled contemptuously, he also saw the hesitation in the eyes of these brocade guards, and he was relieved at this moment.
Lao Tzu is also someone above.
"You wait", the wide-eyed man looked at Liu Ximing's expression and did not seem to be fake, turned his head and commanded a few words, turned around and ran towards the Li family's mansion, leaving a group of Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi and Liu Ximing and others staring at each other.
After a while, Liu Ximing saw He Tianlei's sturdy figure walking out of the house, and the broad-eyed man who was originally a little arrogant followed him with some cringe.
"He Qianhu", Liu Ximing hurriedly smiled and waved his hand as he walked towards him.
The onlookers unconsciously made way for him.
"Why are you here?"
He Tianlei stepped out of the hospital with a look on his face that was not salty or light.
Liu Ximing knew that this was still annoyed with the idea he came up with in front of Liu Jianhou last time, but he didn't care about He Tianlei's attitude, which seemed that He Tianlei was not quite the same as ordinary people in officialdom.
At this time, he continued to take two steps forward and said with a smile: "Isn't this about to be tested in the hospital, thinking that the Thousand Households Institute is in Chengdu, I just wanted to come to visit, who knew that I was misunderstood by the brothers at the door." ”
"You're quite idle", He Tianlei waved his hand to the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi in the alley to let them retreat, and talked to Liu Ximing with a slight shameful smile, "What's the matter, could it be that the college test has already been completed?" This is not Shunqing Mansion, and Liu Yushi can't say hello. ”
You're very well-informed.
Liu Ximing remembered He Tianlei's identity as a Jinyiwei, and felt a little frightened in his heart, did the surname He include himself in the monitoring object?
"Hahaha, although Liu is not extremely smart, he is also full of poetry and books, and he will naturally go all out in the college exam, so he won't bother with thousands of households."
"I don't know if Hong Qianhu is here, so it's good to visit in the evening."
Liu Ximing said pretendly, originally the names of Hong Feijie and He Tianlei were just for emergencies, but now they have to go down.
He Tianlei grinned without smiling, "He's not here, even if he's here, you may not see it." ”
Ma Geji, Lao Tzu has fought side by side with you, He Tianlei's obviously disdainful attitude made Liu Ximing a little angry, but this also made him breathe a sigh of relief, if he really wanted to see it, it was just an embarrassing chat.
Thinking of the affairs of Dou Yuquan's family, Liu Ximing rolled his eyes and said: "It is also the first time to come to Chengdu Mansion, but I don't know that the majestic yamen of Jinyiwei is shrinking in such a small alley, Hong Qianhu is really low-key." ”
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about this, is there anything else, I'll go back first if there's nothing to do."
Liu Ximing's words seemed to hit He Tianlei in some sore spot, and he also saw that Liu Ximing had nothing to say, so he immediately issued an eviction order.
I have a sentence that MMP doesn't know whether to say or not.
He Tianlei's attitude of not advancing with oil and salt made Liu Ximing a little clueless, and the group had to leave the alley in a gloomy manner.
Du Liangji and Zhao Xiangyang breathed a long sigh of relief, although Jinyiwei had been dormant for a few years, outsiders were still terrified when they said it, after all, they had many years of prestige there.
Moreover, judging from the past history, maybe the son of heaven will think of these people, so it is better to deal less with less.
Du Liangji and Zhao Xiangyang also felt a little strange in their hearts, usually when they talked about Jinyiwei, everyone gritted their teeth and hated to eat his flesh, but today they were very calm except for some fear.
In the past, whether it was a teacher, a classmate, or an ordinary person, when talking about the chaos in the world and the disaster caused by God, they always liked to involve eunuchs and Jinyiwei.
But after seeing and hearing along the way, Du Liangji and others felt in their hearts that what Liu Ximing said seemed to be more reasonable.
In this world, where can you be defeated by castration alone?
