Chapter 54: A Feast at Night

Hearing this, the little official hurriedly retreated, and then went to Pei Tian's room, with the lesson of Fang Cai, the little official became much more cautious this time, after all, he took the benefits of Liu Kuo, if this matter is not successful, it will not be able to say anything. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Zheng Lin was also there, and his face looked a little embarrassed at the moment, but he still handed over the greeting post nervously, and said: "The two envoys, Liu Kuo, the son of Liu Changshi, ask to see you outside the door!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, Pei Tian took the post and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Heh, this Uncle Liu's son is also somewhat related to this case, it's good to see it, after all, it is a major matter of human life, and you can't be careless!" ”

"Yes, it has to be seen!" Zheng Lin immediately echoed.

When the little official heard this, his face suddenly burst into laughter, and he immediately responded: "The two envoys will wait for a while, and the little one will let him in!" ”

The two nodded slightly, a meaningful smile on their faces.

Leaned less, I saw the little official leading Liu Kuo to step forward, and without waiting for Pei Tian and the two to speak, the little official retreated by himself.

"Meet the two envoys! My uncle had a lot of advice in the letter, saying that he asked the little nephew to visit the two envoys, the father died unjustly, and the murderer was still in prison looking for joy every night, and I hope that the two envoys will return the father to justice! Liu Kuo stretched out his hand to wipe his tears and said, and then took out a gift slip from his bosom and gently placed it on top of the cases on the sides of the two.

"This is what my uncle meant, and it is also a little bit of my nephew's heart, and I hope that the two envoys will not refuse!"

After hearing this, Pei Tian got up and laughed: "Hahaha, Bai Xiang is out of sight!" Moreover, it is our duty to judge cases impartially, not to mention ......"

After saying that, Pei Tian glanced at Zheng Lin, and Zheng Lin smiled at him after reading the gift list, Pei Tian walked up to Liu Kuo and stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "What's more, I have been helped by Bai Xiang in the past, and it can be regarded as my own family, why should I be so polite!" ”

"Yes, I was shocked to hear that my uncle was wronged with hatred, and we were ordered by the imperial court to thoroughly investigate this case, and we should be the master of the virtuous nephew, and those who should be killed must be killed, and we will not tolerate such outlaws!" Zheng Lin said solemnly.

After hearing this, Liu Kuo thought about it and said, "The little nephew wants to visit Imperial Envoy Li, but ......."

Pei Tian didn't need to think about it to know that Liu Kuo must have touched a nose, and immediately snorted coldly: "Hmph, this person has never known how to lift, but the virtuous nephew can rest assured, the evidence in this case is conclusive, and there is no reason to overturn the case!" He can't say anything! ”

"Alas, speaking of which, I also feel sorry for Ling Zun, originally Bai Xiang had already recommended Ling Zun to His Majesty to serve as a household attendant, and His Majesty also responded to this matter, but he didn't expect ......" Zheng Lin sighed.

Liu Kuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he squeezed out a few tears, choked up and said: "That Xiao Zhongli and Li Zhen are a master and a servant, and they have always been rampant in Jiangling Mansion, so Aya proposed to Li Fuyin to restrain him, but Li Fuyin not only did not listen to the dissuasion, but instead counted Aya down, I never expected that these two people would have a grudge against Aya to death!" ”

"Don't be sad, nephew, I'll make decisions for you in this matter!" Pei Tian gently patted Liu Kuo's shoulder, with a look of righteous indignation.

......

That night, Li Deyu held a banquet in the mansion to welcome the three envoys, which was an attitude and an opportunity for Li Deyu; An attitude towards the court, an opportunity for oneself.

Different from the usual practice, only Li Chengye and Yan Shuo were the only two officials in Jiangling Mansion to accompany them at this night banquet, and Li Deyu was only six people.

The venue for the banquet was chosen in the "Freedom" Pavilion, and the hot flashes in Jiangling Mansion made Li Jingzhuang and the three of them feel extremely uncomfortable, but in this small pavilion, it was a cool breeze, which had a refreshing meaning.

When evening falls, the sky is getting dark, and there are two rows of red lanterns outside the pavilion, which are arranged along the path, covering the surrounding rockery with a layer of vermilion.

The six dwarf tables are placed opposite each other, the mellow aroma of dragon paste wine is overflowing, and although the food on the table is not a delicacy, it is a Jiangling specialty, which Li Jingzhuang and others have never seen or tasted in Chang'an.

Although Li Jingzhuang has a stubborn temper, he still retains some respect for Li Deyu, so the face that has been stiff has been softened a little, but it looks very awkward.

When the wine was full of food, Li Deyu raised his glass and smiled: "When the princes first arrived in Jiangling, if the old man had a place where he was not well entertained, he would still look at Haihan!" ”

After saying that, Li Deyu drank it all, and everyone raised their glasses after greetings.

"Hahaha, today I don't talk about business here in the old man, just about Fengyue! What do you think? Li Deyu put down his wine glass and looked around at everyone, and laughed.

"Everything is as the envoy commands!" Pei Tian replied.

The rest of the people also nodded yes, only Yan Shuo's face was displeased, and said: "I don't like to eat wine and drink with you sour and rotten scholars, what kind of wind and moon, if you talk about wind and moon, wouldn't it be a waste of this fine wine!" ”

After hearing this, Li Deyu was not angry, but pointed at Yan Shuo and scolded with a smile: "No wonder others call you Tian Shehan behind your back, now you are the second grade of the official residence, holding the soldiers and horses of Jingnan Bazhou, how can you still have this reckless temperament, I'm afraid I even forgot the ritual of dancing!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Yan Shuo grinned and said: "I have almost forgotten everything else, but I dare not forget this dance ceremony, I will definitely let you open your eyes when I meet Your Majesty next year!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but at this time, they only heard Li Deyu turn to Li Jingzhuang and asked: "Imperial Envoy Li, I don't know how Brother Ling has been recently, I haven't seen that fool for a few months, the old man's ears are a lot cleaner, but I guess Your Majesty should suffer again!" ”

Li Deyu is talking about Li Jingzhuang's eldest brother Li Jingrang, the word is later, the Li brothers have a total of three people, Jingrang, Jingwen, Jingzhuang, and Gu are officials in the same dynasty. And Li Jingrang said that he has also gone through the four dynasties of Mu, Jing, Wen and Wu, and now he is a regular attendant of the right scattered cavalry, as an official who is idle in the official position, but Li Jingrang has made himself miserable to make the emperors of the four dynasties miserable, and belongs to the kind of living Yama who dares to force each other to death on the Taiji Hall at every turn, and Wei Zheng of the Zhenguan Dynasty has to fight.

When Li Jingzhuang heard this, he hurriedly replied: "There is labor to make you worry, my brother's body is still tough, and since I made you go south, my brother often talks about the envoy." ”

"Hahaha, I'm afraid this fool doesn't have anything good to say! The old man has been an official in the same dynasty as him for more than ten years, and his stubborn donkey temper can be described as feared by everyone! Li Deyu laughed.

Li Jingzhuang smiled quite embarrassedly, and after thinking about it, he said: "My brother is upright, and he has offended many people for this, but my three brothers have been taught by their mother since they were children, and they must be upright and loyal as officials, so that Jun Zhicai's brother also feels ......."

Speaking of this, I saw Pei Tian and Zheng Lin looking at each other, with a tacit smile on their faces, but at this moment, they only heard Li Deyu wave his hand and interrupt Li Jingzhuang's words, and said: "Hey, if you want to say that this name is better than Li Houji, that sentence Zhu Yi entered the temple and was majestic, and the jade pendant ascended to the altar and returned to the martial arts." In the past and today, Xie Jun is not a talent, I don't know how much I have received from the heart of a Tang scholar! ”

After Li Chengye heard this, he couldn't help but secretly sweat for Li Jingzhuang, although this Li Jingzhuang is a stubborn donkey, but he is also a loyal and upright minister like his brother, if he is allowed to continue, the day he returns to the dynasty will be when his brother Li Jingrang is demoted.
