Not long after, Li Xiu endured the pain of his body and entered the Yongyu Palace.

Under the guidance of Ruyan, Li Xiu walked in the palace with a deep courtyard with many gates, and his heart was uneasy, a little nervous, and a little afraid and awe, in short, the mood was very complicated, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

In the past, he was the son of Li Linfu, and the official was the general of the prison. But now, it has been reduced to a grass surname that is bullied by others, and he has to rely on people everywhere to ask for shelter.

This huge contrast made him extremely ashamed.

Although the sister-in-law Li Tengkong married Zhang Xuān, everyone in the Li family knew that this was only a nominal matter, and they didn't dare to use Zhang Xuān's banner at all. And even if Li Tengkong really became Zhang Xuān's woman, she was also a concubine with a low status, and the Li family did not have the confidence to be a "fox and a fake tiger".

Moreover, Zhang Xuān has never taken very special care of the Li family.

Outside the door of Zhang Xuān's study, Li Xiu hesitated and did not dare to enter.

At this time, I heard Zhang Xuān say indifferently in the study: "Is my brother here?" Come in! ”

Zhang Xuān's "brother" made Li Xiu's heart beat violently, pinching his clothes, and walking in with courage.

In the study, Zhang Xiao stood there quietly, looking at Li Xiu calmly.

Li Xiu's heart tightened, and he subconsciously knelt on the ground with a puff, and said in a trembling voice, "Grass people Li Xiu, meet King Yongning!" The grass people are guilty, and please forgive the prince! ”

Zhang Xuān glanced at Li Xiu, and suddenly leaned down slowly to help him up, "Brother doesn't have to be like this, you and I are in-laws, you don't have to be polite in the mansion in the future, ≈ chief, please take a seat." ”

Where did Li Xiu dare to sit, he was humble again and again, and sat there with half his ass at Zhang Xuān's insistence, but it was like sitting on pins and needles.

Li Xiu didn't even dare to look up into Zhang Xuān's eyes, Zhang Xuān, who was just a yellow-haired boy in his eyes, is now the king of Yongning of the Tang Dynasty, a great hero who opened up territory for the imperial court, a very powerful minister, and more powerful than Li Linfu back then.

However, because Zhang Xuān's family is low-key and xìng is peaceful, it seems that today's Yongning palace is far less prosperous and powerful than the Li family when Li Linfu was alive.

"Brother, I know about Kong'er. I just want to ask my brother a few words, and ask him to confess and not to tell me any untruths. Zhang Xuān said indifferently.

Li Xiu's heart trembled, and he quickly got up and bowed down, and said in a panic, "Li Xiu is a bastard Li Xiu, drinking and gambling outside and falling into Zhang Qing's trap, causing Kong'er to get into trouble, and the ......Qianyongning Palace"

Bang! Zhang Xuān slapped the table hard.

Li Xiu's heart was shocked, and he hesitated to stand up straight, his face flushed.

"Brother owes Zhang Qing a loan shark, can there be a contract? Show me. Zhang Xuān softened his voice.

Li Xiu hurriedly took out the contract from his arms and handed it over respectfully.

Zhang Xuān took a look, glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Brother, you really make me speechless∨ Qing is clearly setting up a trap for you and going towards your concubine, and you even jumped straight in!" ”

Li Xiu was speechless and lowered her head.

"Who is this Gongsun Xiao?" Zhang Xuān pointed to the intermediary on the contract.

"It's the little son of Lord Sun Liang of the Ministry of War." Li Xiu replied.

"Bingbu shì Lang Gongsun Liang?" The corners of Zhang Xuān's mouth twitched, and he suddenly sneered, "Okay, I understand." ”

"In a while, the people from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion will come over, brother, you have to tell the truth and testify to Kong'er's case." Zhang Xuān waved his hand and slowly sat down behind his bookcase.

Li Xiu stood respectfully on the side and didn't dare to sit down again.

After a while, the young Yin Malu of Jingzhao Mansion came with the people from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

After Ma Lu heard the news of Zhang Xuān's entry into Beijing, he hurriedly ordered Li Tengkong to be ready to send Li Tengkong back to the palace at any time. Hearing Zhang Xuān pass on him, he personally escorted Li Tengkong back to his home.

"Lord Wang, Master Ma from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion has arrived, and he is asking to see him outside the door." Ruyu reported outside the door: "The little lady is also back home." ”

"Let Malu in. You come in too. Zhang Xuān's cold voice came from the study, Ma Lu gathered his mind in horror and walked in, while Li Tengkong silently followed and walked in.

"Xiaguan Ma Lu, meet His Royal Highness King Yongning." Ma Lu saw Zhang Xuān, and hurriedly bowed to the courtesy, "The lower official has sent the little lady back to the house, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive the prince!" ”

"Please, Lord Ma." Zhang Xuān smiled slightly, and then glanced at Li Tengkong again, and saw that Li Tengkong was silent, and his clothes were neat and dignified, so he really put his mind at ease.

Ma Lu used to be his subordinate, and Zhang Xuān expected that Ma Lu would not dare to be disrespectful to Li Tengkong.

Li Tengkong looked at Zhang Xuān with complicated eyes, and then caught a glimpse of his brother Li Xiu here, knowing that it was Zhang Xuān who was making a big move for himself and his mother's family, and couldn't help but be ashamed of himself.

"Grass people Li Xiu to meet Master Ma," Li Xiu stepped forward and bowed deeply to Ma Lu.

At this time, I heard Zhang Xuān shouting. You straighten my back! You used to be the son of a generation of Xiangguo, the general of the Tang Dynasty as a supervisor, although you have no official position now, you are still my Zhang Xuān's wife's uncle, how can you be so groveling, which makes people laugh! Stand up! Li Xiu shuddered for a moment, but it was tǐng straightened her waist, and Li Tengkong's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of brilliance, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, stared at Zhang Xuān deeply, and then drooped down, standing silently to the side.

"Lord Ma, this king will never interfere in the handling of the case of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. However, Lord Xiaoma enforced the law impartially and found out the facts ♀ of the case as soon as possible as soon as possible because Zhang Qing conspired with the military department to set up a contract to lure yòu Li Xiu into the bait. "It's very obvious.

Zhang Qing coveted Li Xiu's concubine Lin's beauty è, set a trap Zhang Qing came to force debts, Kong'er stepped forward to stop him, and was molested by Zhang Qing, which angered Kong'er and kicked Zhang Qing's ÷ After much so, I believe it is not difficult for Master Ma to find out. Zhang Xuān said slowly, his voice condensed.

"Xiaguan understands that what the truth is, Xiaguan has already found out, and what the prince said is true. It's just that under the order of Lord Zhang, the lower officials dare not disobey, and ask the prince for forgiveness. But the little lady is in Jingzhao Mansion, and the lower officials dare not slack off. Ma Lu sighed and bowed deeply, "Now that the prince has returned, even if the lower official doesn't want to let out the black gauze hat, he will return the little lady's innocence!" Zhang Xuān nodded, "So, thank you Master Ma." ”

"Where's the tension?"

Zhang Zhang hurriedly walked in, "The little one is here!" "Spread the clouds of Nan Jiyun."

Zhang Li hurriedly went out to summon Nan Jiyun, and Nan Jiyun and Zhang Xuān's guards were placed in the palace, and when they heard the words, they immediately rushed over.

"Commander, the last general will be polite!" Nan Jiyun was dressed in armor and hugged his fists.

"Nanba, you take someone to the military department shì Lang Gongsun Liang's mansion, and ask Gongsun Liang's son Gongsun Xiaoke a word, just say that this king asked him: You conspired with Zhang Qing, could it be that there is no one in the palace of Yongning to deceive me? Tell him again that this king will only give him one chance, and immediately go to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to surrender, otherwise, Hugh blames this king for turning his face and being ruthless! ”

Zhang Xuān smiled coldly, "It's over, you go to Zhang's Mansion again, and send thirty pieces of money, just say that this king will repay Zhang's money for his wife's uncle Li Xiu." ”

"Oh, the last general obeys!" Nan Jiyun clenched his fists and led his life.

"Master Ma, you go back to the government to try the case, and this king is waiting for your news in the mansion!" Zhang Xuān waved his hand suddenly.

Ma Lu's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he immediately went out and went with the people from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Kong'er, you and your brother go to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion together, and when the case is closed, I will send someone to send a carriage and horse to take you back to the mansion!"

Zhang Xuān turned his head to look at Li Tengkong, Li Tengkong's face turned red, he hesitated, but nodded slightly, left with Li Xiu, and followed Ma Lu's people back to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

In the mansion of Sun Liang, the two house slaves guarding the door suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves, and immediately a team of more soldiers appeared in the field of vision, extremely fierce, and rushed to the front of the mansion in an instant.

Nan Jiyun waved his hand suddenly on the horse, "Stop!" Yu Junjun ordered unity, stopped the horse, and immediately lined up outside the gate of Gongsun Liang's mansion.

The two housekeepers were taken aback, and looked at the ranks of soldiers in front of them with some fear, and their faces changed drastically.

Nan Liyun turned over and dismounted, strode forward, flipped the token in his hand, and said loudly, "This general is the king of Yongning, the governor of Longshuo, and the general of the four towns marching army Zhang Shuai, the general of the Shence Army, Nan Jiyun, the commander of the military department, and the commander of the military department, Shin Xiaoke, the son of Gongsun Liang, the commander of the military department. ”

"Wait for the report and let that Gongsun Xiaoke come out to see the general!"

The house slave in Gongsun Mansion trembled for a moment, his face turned white, and while turning back to the mansion to report, he secretly said when did his little young master provoke Zhang Dashuai, the king of Yongning, this is a big man that the head of the family, Gongsun Liang, can't provoke!

Gongsun Liang had already entered the palace to accompany the banquet, and Li Heng set up a celebration banquet for Zhang Xuān to receive the wind and wash the dust, but he was not in the house.

When Gongsun Liang's wife Sun heard this, she was taken aback, and hurriedly took her youngest son, Gongsun Xiaoke, out to see Nan Xiaoyun.

A large group of house slaves shì women accompanied the mother and son of the Sun family out of the mansion, and saw a group of soldiers marching in front of the mansion with murderous vigour, and a young general in bright clothes and armor stood majestically under the steps, and his face changed.

Gongsun Xiaoke had already vaguely guessed what was going on at this moment. Zhang Qing took a fancy to Li Xiu's concubine Lin, so he conspired with Gongsun Xiaoke to set a trap to lure Li Xiu into the bait, and then came to the door to force debts, trying to pay off debts with people, and seized Lin's go.

Later, Gongsun Xiaoke heard that Zhang Qing came to the door to force debts, but was seriously injured by Zhang Xuhan's little wife Li Tengkong, and he was a little panicked. But then seeing that there was no movement in the Yongning Palace, and Li Tengkong was still detained in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, he was relieved.
