Chapter 236: People Want Faces and Trees Want Bark (2 more)
As the saying goes, people want faces, trees need bark. Trees without bark will surely die, and people will not be invincible in the world.
Li Yi was really stunned by Zheng Mingyang's "shamelessness".
Li Dejian, Li Dexian, and the two brothers, as well as Yue'er behind them, were also stunned when they heard it on the spot.
Even, even the onlookers on both sides of the street, as well as a group of martial marquis, were stunned on the spot.
They have seen extremely shameless people, but they have never seen anyone as shameless as Zheng Mingyang, not only talking nonsense with his eyes open, but also taking the lead in slapping and biting Li Yi upside down.
If it weren't for everyone present, they all knew the ins and outs of this matter, but I was afraid that they would really be misled by Zheng Mingyang, and they would even be deceived so much that they couldn't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.
Suddenly, the voices of disdain in the crowd on the street surged like a tide:
"Stain Stain...... I really never thought that this Zheng Shilang, as a dignified fourth-grade official of the imperial court, would be such a despicable and shameless villain! ”
"I really don't know, how can Concubine Zheng Xian have such a shameless brother, it simply tarnishes the dignity of the royal family!"
"Zheng Shilang's stinky and shameless, black-and-white kung fu can simply fight with Dongying bandits......"
"This is the man of the family? Hehe...... Today, I finally opened my eyes......"
"As far as these so-called people of the family are concerned, they are brazen one by one, and they are even more terrible than beasts!"
"No wonder the sage will issue an order to distribute the fables written by Li Gongzi to all parts of the country for people to read, and it is long overdue for the comrades of the whole country to see the faces of this group of shameless people!"
------
Almost at the same time, Zheng Mingyang's ears clearly heard people's discussions.
At first, the discussion was not loud.
But after seeing Zheng Mingyang's "reversing right and wrong in public" and his despicability and shamelessness, people's discussions at the moment no longer have the previous cover, and the sound is like a bell ringing, boiling in the crowd.
Zheng Mingyang's face instantly darkened, as embarrassing as a pot.
"Huhu ......" exhaled heavily, and then swept his eyebrows and glared at the crowd around him, Zheng Mingyang forcibly calmed himself.
After all, the tongue of these people grows on their own body, and even if he gets angry on the spot, or even orders someone to beat them up, he can't control these people and continues to "chew on right and wrong with his tongue."
Simply, Zheng Mingyang pretended to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear, and instead stared at Li Yi angrily.
"Zheng Shilang." At this time, Li Yi, who was wronged by Zheng Mingyang for some reason, suddenly sneered and shook his head, put his hands around his chest, and said with his head slightly tilted, "You just saw so-and-so, and you planted blame for so-and-so, and even reversed right and wrong for no reason, it should be said...... It's a certain admiration that you are! ”
As he spoke, Li Yi shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, turned to look at the people on the street, and asked with a smile: "Everyone, when did you see someone who deliberately arrested Zheng Shilang?" When and where, when and where, I saw someone deliberately sent someone to insult Zheng Shilang in public? ”
The crowd of onlookers on the street, even a group of martial marquis, immediately shook their heads in unison, and said in a resolute voice: "No! Someone can testify for his son, which is completely Zheng Shilang's slander! ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Seeing that everyone answered like this, Li Yi smiled and thanked him, then turned his head, looked at Zheng Shilang not far in front of him, and said, "Zheng Shilang, listen, who is it...... You're deliberately distorting the facts, reversing black and white, so you don't need to explain more, right? ”
"Y-you're spewing blood!" Zheng Shilang was so angry on the spot that he even became a little speechless, and he swallowed back the words he wanted to scold Li Yi.
He never thought about it but didn't expect that Li Yi's influence among this group of people would become so great!
This group of onlookers actually said in unison that they were willing to testify for Li Yi!
In this way, he has no reason to refute at all!
In Zheng Mingyang's heart, he was completely aware at this moment that today, if he insisted on bringing his servants back from the Drunken Immortal Tower, he was afraid that it would be impossible.
Unless he ordered someone to secretly enter the palace, go to his sister Concubine Zheng Xian, and secretly ask for someone back from Li Yi's hands.
If this matter becomes a big problem, or even in Li Shimin's ears, I am afraid that it will ...... Even if Concubine Zheng Xian interceded for him in Li Shimin's ear, he couldn't eat and walk around.
But if he doesn't get back the face he lost today, I'm afraid that he will become difficult in the future.
Thinking of this, Zheng Mingyang immediately waved his hand, whispered a few words in the ear of a servant beside him, and the servant immediately turned around and went into the palace.
"Li Bo'an, you are a lot of people, the rights and wrongs of this matter, I won't argue with you first." Zheng Mingyang took the initiative to give in, but then, he grinned and asked in a cold tone, "However, you ordered this martial marquis to insult this official in public, this matter...... How do you explain that? ”
Li Yi's face was slightly stunned, and while looking at Ni Ba, the leader of the martial arts, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zheng Mingyang, and asked with a calm face: "Did I order you to deliberately come to the street to insult him?" ”
"Nope." Ni Ba shook his head honestly and replied, and then with a serious look, he said with annoyance, "Li Gongzi, the lower official still doesn't understand when and where, when and where the lower official once insulted Zheng Shilang, and asked the prince to make the decision for the lower official!" ”
As soon as he heard Ni Ba's words with an innocent face, Zheng Mingyang was immediately furious, and he wanted to hit someone with a slap.
"What do you say? You kid has a kind, just say this again? ”
Zheng Mingyang glared at Ni Ba angrily, the fierce light in his eyes was even more hideous like a dormant beast, and he frowned and said angrily, "Don't think that with Li Bo'an here to support you, you can insult this official at will!" ”
"This official tells you that today, if you can't say that you are ugly, even if this matter reaches the ears of the saint, this official will not spare you!"
Zheng Mingyang whistled his sleeves and waved his hand, simply carrying it behind his back, and at the same time clenched his hands into fists, but he still gritted his teeth and glared at Ni Ba angrily.
That posture is completely like "Lao Tzu is in charge now, Lao Tzu is not afraid of heaven and earth", and he wants to swear to the death with you.
At this moment, Li Yi was also a little confused...... The truth of the matter is up.
Li Yi felt a little headache.
"What kind of is this......
However, when Li Yi saw Ni Ba and a group of martial artists around him, although they did not resolutely stand up to help before, at this moment, they took the initiative to intercept Zheng Shilang and the others outside the Drunken Immortal Tower.
Li Yi can't ignore their lives and deaths.
It's not that Li Yi is kind in his heart, but he doesn't want to have more troubles, because of such trivial things, it will ruin the overall situation that the "thigh father-in-law" has been carefully planning for a long time.
After "Huhu ......" let out a sigh, Li Yi looked at Zheng Mingyang and asked, "Zheng Shilang, what did you ask this Wuhou to say, which caused you to feel ...... Is he insulting you? ”
"What do you think ......? Hum! Zheng Mingyang smiled coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Li Yi's words, and while squinting his eyes and glaring at Ni Ba, Zheng Mingyang continued, "The official just asked him what his surname was, and he suddenly insulted the official. ”
Retracting his eyes from Ni Ba, Zheng Mingyang glared at Li Yi angrily, and said coldly: "Li Bo'an, what do you think of this matter...... Or is it still a trifle? ”
Seeing Zheng Mingyang like this, Li Yi no longer bothered with him, but turned his head to look at Ni Ba, and asked out loud, "Ni Wuhou, how did you answer him?" ”
Ni Ba did not hesitate, and according to the previous answer, he said honestly: "Zheng Shilang asked the name of the lower official, and the lower official replied that a certain --- is --- Ni --- Ba!" ”
In an instant, hearing the four words "A certain Ni Ba" coming out, Li Yi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and laughed directly.
"Haha!" And behind Li Yi, Li Dejian, the two brothers Li Dexian, and Yue'er, who had been silent, couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
They were all amused by the name Ni Ba on the spot.
But Zheng Mingyang saw that not only Li Yi was laughing like this, but even the two brothers and maidservants behind him were also laughing together, and the laughter was so loud and harsh, Zheng Mingyang's face immediately turned black again, as ugly as black briquettes.
"Ahem, I'm really sorry, Zheng Shilang, Bo'an didn't hold back for a while, he was rude." Li Yi came back to his senses, hugged his fist at Zheng Mingyang, and smiled at him.
"......" Zheng Mingyang suddenly had black lines on his head, and glared at Li Yi angrily.
However, the onlookers on the side, as well as the martial marquis, and even the servants brought by Zheng Mingyang, were vague and confused for a while, and they didn't know what they were laughing at, and Zheng Mingyang was angry.
"Ahem, Zheng Shilang, presumably before, it was you who made a mistake in your understanding." While looking at Zheng Mingyang, Li Yiqiang resisted the urge to laugh in his heart, and didn't let himself laugh, so he explained, "You also heard that this Wuhou leader, surnamed Ni Mingba, is not the explanation of "Dad, Father" in the ancient books of the late Han Dynasty, but the word hegemon among the overlords of Western Chu. ”
"I don't know if so-and-so's explanation is appropriate?" Li Yi turned his head to look at Ni Ba.
"Exactly, Childe!" Ni Ba nodded seriously and said, "The name of Xia Guan is the overlord of Western Chu. ”
At this moment, Ni Ba suddenly understood in his heart, why before this, when he said his name, Zheng Mingyang would slap him for no reason.
It turned out that it was the homonym of his own name, and there was an obvious similarity and ambiguity with the word "your father".
Thinking of this, Ni Ba couldn't help glaring at Zheng Mingyang angrily, and while taking out the paper and pen of the patrol record from his sleeve, he said to Zheng Shilang: "Zheng Shilang, if you don't believe it, write down your name today, Zheng Shilang can see it with your own eyes, lest you wronged your son for no reason and wronged your lower officials!" ”
As he spoke, Ni Ba began to wave his pen in the small notebook of the patrol record.
After a moment of effort, after writing his name, Ni Ba stretched out the small notebook in his hand in front of Zheng Mingyang, and at the same time gritted his teeth and reminded "kindly": "Zheng Shilang, if you still don't believe the words of the lower officials, you can open your eyes and take a serious look!" ”
Without waiting for Zheng Mingyang to refute, Ni Ba had already forced the small book into Zheng Mingyang's hands.
"......" Zheng Mingyang's face suddenly turned blue, and there was a flush.
