Chapter Twenty-Three: My Eldest Sister Is a Big Guy
(XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) The group walked out of Quanzhou North Street and turned around to the official office of East Street. Among this group, there were not only sergeants in military uniforms, but also beautiful women in gorgeous clothes and soft couches, six or seven wilted men tied up behind them, and finally two soldiers were riding on half of the dead men in brocade clothes. This strange combination is naturally eye-catching, but it seems that the government is on an errand, and they dare not come closer, so they have to point and talk about it from a distance.
"Wait a minute, isn't this the Third Highness?" As he spoke, a thin middle-aged man squeezed out of the crowd next to him, dressed in dark blue brocade, with eyes in his eyes, and he knew that he was a shrewd person at first sight.
Director Huang frowned, greeted him and said, "Who are you?" What is it called? ”
The middle-aged man looked at Wang Chenggui in surprise at the back of the line, who was being carried by the sergeant like a sack. He hugged his fists and said to Huang: "In the lower Goryeo businessman, surnamed Li Mingcheng, dare to ask if this lord has caught the wrong person, there seems to be the third highness of the country, is there any misunderstanding among them?" ”
Director Huang listened and nodded. Li Cheng knew that when Wang Chenggui arrived in Quanzhou today, he said that he would first meet his future father-in-law, whose name was Li Cheng. Huang couldn't do anything, so he had to agree, and led people to follow him from afar, and Wang Chengzhu went to North Street to choose gifts for his future father-in-law and future wife, which caused later incidents.
"Shopkeeper Li, this official is the head of the Ministry of Rites and Guest Welcoming Division, and he was originally an envoy of the imperial court to greet the three highnesses, but the king of your country is cruel and lustful, not only molesting the maid of your palace, but also seriously injuring your king Chitose, which really makes the official indignant, so Tan Zi took the lead and took His Royal Highness the king of the county......"
Li Cheng was taken aback when he heard this. Lian, "This is a great disaster, although Goryeo does not border the Great Song Dynasty now, but is a vassal to the Liao State. However, the relationship between Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty has always been friendly. Maritime trade is even closer. What's more, because the Liao State has always been eyeing Goryeo, it had planned to attack Goryeo several times decades ago, and it seems that there has been an abnormal movement recently. It was because Goryeo urgently needed to make friends with the Great Song Dynasty and relieve the pressure on the Liao State. This is exactly what the Three Highnesses Song intended. Sending the prince as an envoy is quite sincere, who knew that Fang would cause such a big mess when he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty.
Li Cheng knows how famous the king is in the Great Song Dynasty, and he can be said to be a well-known figure. The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty seemed to be very fond of him, and just appointed your king as an observer, he revised the authority of the Observation Division. It can be seen how much he values this nominal brother. Why did His Royal Highness want to poke such a big hornet's nest!
Li Cheng complained again and again in his heart, and he had to persuade him, "My lord." After all, the Third Highness is an envoy, and this kind of treatment seems to be contrary to the hospitality of the Heavenly Empire, and I also ask the Lord to be kind and temporarily release the Third Highness, I guarantee that the Third Highness will not leave the Great Song Dynasty, and will definitely enter the capital with the Lord ......"
Director Huang interrupted him impatiently, "This matter will be explained by the official himself. Please ask the Holy Lord to decide, as for what to say about entering the capital to face the Holy and making such a fuss, who knows if the Holy Lord will be interested in seeing such a barbarian. ”
Li Cheng sweated on his head and said, "My lord, can you allow me to go and say a few words to His Highness." He saw that Wang Chenggui seemed to be in a coma, and said in his heart that he had better ask what was going on before he could think of a countermeasure.
Director Huang waved his hand and said: "This can't be done, before the Holy Lord's decree arrives, this official can't be the master." Please rest assured that the official will treat His Royal Highness well and will not wronged him. ”
Li Cheng glanced at Wang Chenggui, who was carried and carried by the sergeant, and smiled bitterly, is this called kindness? "Your Excellency, please think twice." As he spoke, Li Cheng took out a stack of handbags from his arms and handed them over. This is the only way for him to overcome obstacles in business over the years. Seven or eight times out of ten Song officials eat this set.
Huang's face changed color, and the princess next to him looked at it frequently. He has a few heads and dares to take bribes from him. said angrily: "Li Cheng! What are you doing! Take it back! ”
Jin Lian saw that the two of them were chattering endlessly, and then saw that although Wu Zhi was asleep, his eyebrows seemed to be very haggard. Hurry up and find a clean place and ask the doctor to treat the minister, why doesn't the green-robed official have any eyesight, and he is still there at this time rubbing with irrelevant people. Of course she didn't know that Director Huang knew that the king was faked injured, if he was really seriously injured, if Li Cheng dared to block the way, Director Huang wouldn't have hacked him.
Jin Lian looked at Wu Zhi's face, worried, and turned her head to see the merchant taking out money from his arms to bribe the official. The anger in his heart came up all of a sudden, and the auspicious and vicious ministers were uncertain, and these two people not only delayed the time, but also bribed on the street! Silver Fang bit and said, "Take down the two!" ”
Shi Xiu, who was standing on the side, was slightly stunned, but still waved his hand and said, "Take down Master Huang and the person who is blocking the way!" ”
The palace guards answered, and when they went up, they grabbed Director Huang and Li Cheng by their shoulders, took out the ropes and tied them up.
Jin Lian said: "Set off quickly." The team slowly moved at this time, Jin Lian took Wu Zhi's hand, and suddenly saw Wu Zhi's right shoulder move slightly, frowning, and seemed to be in great pain. Jin Zhi's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife, his eyes were red, and he almost fell into tears, remembering that there were many people around him, so he forcibly held back.
Zhu'er next to him saw Wu Zhi's painful expression, thinking of the knife that the master himself cut so hard, it must have hurt so much, and his heart was sour, but he was afraid that his wife would be too sad, so he could only smile and gently hold Jin Lian's left hand, and said, "Madam, the master must be fine, don't worry." ”
Zhu'er means that the master is fine, please rest assured. Who knew that hearing Jin Lian's ears would become ordinary people's words of relief, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, so he nodded silently and stopped talking.
Huang was tied up with five flowers, and as soon as he said "princess ......", he was gagged. This injustice in my heart, but I can only endure it, and when I return to the palace, your noble king Chitose will naturally be fine when he wakes up. But how did this rope tie so strongly, and after a while, his shoulders became numb. Looking at the guards who tied him, wasn't this person in the rouge shop? How can you know that it is your own people and still use a lot of effort. Then he turned his head and saw that Shi Xiu gave himself an apologetic look. The heart is slightly balanced.
Only then did Li Cheng know that the princess was in the team, and he was bitter in his heart, and when he saw that His Royal Highness was arrested, he was in a state of confusion. Usually shrewd, he did such a foolish thing. It seems that the princess is very angry, and she can't say that she wants to have a good lawsuit. If something really happens to your king. Then I and the Third Highness are afraid that they will have to be buried together. But if your king is fine, most of the three highnesses can excuse him. Guiwangfu naturally vented his anger on himself, and he, a Goryeo businessman, was like an ant in the eyes of others. If you want to pinch it, you can pinch it!
Could it be that I, Li Chengzhen, made a mistake and wanted to make a difference in the Great Song Dynasty? How can I get out of this predicament, first of all, I thought of my old friend Ye Yuanwai, but this thought was fleeting, I am afraid that Brother Ye does not have such a big land, and he can ask for someone from your palace. I've been busy with business for most of the year, and I haven't seen Brother Ye for a few days, so I don't know if I don't have a chance anymore. Li Cheng's mind is messed up. Thinking of his daughter Xuan Jing again, the most concerned is her daughter, alas, the lord of the country has not told his daughter about the marriage in the designated place, and he originally wanted to surprise his daughter. After marrying the Third Highness, her daughter is the princess of the county. In the future, I will no longer have to be looked down upon in the Li family, I think my daughter should be very happy. It's a pity that I can't see my daughter getting married.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you?" Just thinking about his daughter, Xuan Jing's voice sounded in his ears. Li Cheng turned his head to look, but no, his daughter and Miss Ye Qiqiao came out from the side and looked at him with a surprised expression.
Li Cheng's heart trembled, and he said urgently: "Xuan Jing, go quickly!" Find a chance to return to Goryeo! Hurry up, hurry up, go away! "He was afraid that the people of your king's palace would not relieve his hatred if they took him. Arrest my daughter again. That's really dead to death.
Who knew that Xuan Jing and Qiqiao began to look surprised, and gradually turned into a smile.
Li Cheng was in a hurry and roared angrily: "I offended your princess for my father!" You don't want to go quickly! Do you want to be angry with your father?! "Li Cheng is really anxious, why are these two girls so ignorant!
Hearing Li Cheng's angry shouting, Qiqiao couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, and laughed out loud: "Uncle, I said a long time ago, don't go to the street alone, you just don't listen!" Look at it, how can you be tied up by someone at a good point! How could there be such a thing if you want to take me and Xuan Jing with you! ”
Xuan Jing also saw her father's embarrassed appearance for the first time, and she couldn't help but laugh and came over to untie her father.
Li Cheng was so angry that his head was big, "You...... You two girls...... "Anxious and angry, they both stammered. Turning his head to look, it was not, as he expected, the princess and several guards rushed over, Li Cheng used all his strength to bump into Xuan Jing, and shouted: "Hurry up!" ”
Xuan Jing let out a "sigh" and sat down on the ground. When the Qiqiao next to him saw it, he held his stomach and laughed, laughing breathlessly.
Li Chengzheng was anxious, and suddenly heard the princess say: "It turned out to be an uncle, and my niece was rude!" Uncle don't blame! ”
Li Cheng looked left and right in surprise, is your uncle also here?
Over there, Qiqiao had already fallen to the ground laughing, Xuan Jing sat on the ground, his head buried between his legs, his shoulders trembled, and he couldn't stop laughing.
"Hurry up and untie your uncle!" Following the order of the princess, the guards came over to untie the rope for Li Cheng.
Li Cheng's mouth is open, such as, "Where is this!"
Qiqiao threw herself into Jin Lian's arms and withdrew with a smile: "Eldest sister, I'm going to laugh to death!" Look at my uncle......"
Jin Lian frowned, looking at Qiqiao with a body of dirt rubbing around on her body, Qiqiao saw it and said: "Eldest sister, you dislike me, just go back and help you wash it!" As he spoke, he writhed a few more times in Jin Lian's arms. Jin Lian smiled helplessly when she saw her coquettishly small. But when I thought of Xianggong, my heart became heavy again.
Xuan Jing got up from the ground, walked to her father's side and said, "Daddy, come, I'll introduce you to my sworn sister!" ”
Jin Lian walked up a few steps, slightly blessed, and said: "Uncle, niece and Qiqiao, Xuan Jing are sworn sisters, I really don't know the identity of my uncle, I am offended in a hurry, uncle is not strange!" ”
How dare Li Cheng speak, although Qiqiao and Xuan Jing seem to have a close relationship with the princess, and they dare to untie their ropes without waiting for orders, but they don't dare to put on any uncle's shelf. I was scared and still had palpitations. Seeing that the princess was saluting herself, she waved her hand again and again in a panic, and stammered: "Princess Niangniang...... Cannot...... No, you can't."
Li Cheng has always put on the shelf of his elders in front of Qiqiao and Xuan Jing, and he has never been smiling, and he is very majestic. Seeing Li Cheng's embarrassed appearance, Qiqiao and Xuan Jing couldn't help but laugh. At this time, I saw Li Cheng, who was teaching the second daughter with a face on weekdays, with a panicked look. Qiqiao couldn't help but laugh under his breath again. Xuan Jing pinched Qiqiao hard, but the corners of her mouth also smiled slightly.
How could Li Cheng have time to pay attention to the second daughter, and suddenly remembered that he had not yet seen the courtesy, and said: "Goryeo businessman Li Cheng has seen the princess!" As he spoke, he wanted to bow down.
Xuan Jing hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Daddy, Uncle Ye doesn't worship when he sees the eldest sister, the eldest sister doesn't like these false courtesies." ”
Jin Lian nodded and said, "I'll talk about it when I go home!" As he spoke, he gently pushed away the tangram and chased after the team that was still moving forward.
Qiqiao and Xuan Jing saw that Jin Lian seemed to have something on their mind, so they greeted their father and hurriedly chased after them.
Li Chengmu was half loud and hurriedly followed, after all, the safety of the Third Highness was the most important. Looking at the second daughter who was whispering to the princess in front of him, Li Cheng sighed, he thought that he would die for a lifetime, but who knew that suddenly becoming the uncle of the princess was really like being in a dream. My daughter can worship with the princess, I don't know which life is a blessing. It seems that it is true that his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and he thinks that the marriage he arranged for his daughter is decent enough. Who knew that her daughter had a huge backer!
The king of the Great Song Dynasty, the righteous brother of the Great Song Dynasty, is not comparable to the prince of a small country like Goryeo. What's more, your king's reputation is now in full swing, but his age is not good, and his future is immeasurable. The daughter and the princess are like sisters, so naturally they are half of the king's sisters. Li Cheng thought beautifully as he walked.
If the family knows this news, I don't know what kind of excitement they will become, I'm afraid it will be even more sensational than marrying with the Third Highness. After all, after marrying with the Third Highness, the Li family was tied to the chariot of the Third Highness, and if they were not able to ensure that the Third Highness ascended the throne, the Li family would probably come to an end. Although the lord of the country is very fond of the three highnesses, but until the last moment, who dares to say that he will win? And with the great aid of the king, if anyone in Goryeo wants to move the Li family, he really has to weigh it. However, there are pros and cons to it, and it is easy to be attacked by opponents as befriending foreign countries, but the pros always outweigh the disadvantages. His own side branch of the Li family can finally raise his eyebrows in the family. My father must have been very relieved to know the news. The deceased grandfather and the ancestors of the rank have knowledge underground, and they can also smile at Jiuquan. Like the marriage arranged by the patriarch for Xuan Jing this time, he didn't say hello to his own group in advance. Although I can't ask for this marriage, it's always heartwarming to think about. In the future, it will be interesting to see if they dare to make decisions on their own.
But how could the Third Highness hurt your king? This is a troublesome matter, and I have to find a way to solve it safely, and I can only find a way by relying on my daughter's relationship.
Over there, Li Cheng was thinking nonsense, but the three girls here were looking at Wu Zhi on the soft couch and frowned.
Qiqiao was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "Eldest sister, what's going on?" Why was my brother-in-law injured? ”
Jin Lian shook her head and said, "I don't know, I'll ask carefully when I enter the Quanzhou Yamen." ”
Qiqiao looked at the men tied up in the back, and said angrily: "Nineteen was done by those guys, I'll go and whip them a few times first!" ”
Xuan Jing grabbed her and said, "Don't make a mess, it's better to find a doctor for the teacher first." ”
As he spoke, several officials had already greeted him in front of him, followed by a large number of officials, and naturally the officials of Quanzhou learned the news and hurried over.
Li Tongju, who acted as the governor of the state, suddenly heard that the king was injured by gangsters in Quanzhou, and his life and death were unknown. I was so scared that I almost peed my pants, don't you want to die yourself? Just thought that he would be addicted to Zhizhou in a few days, such an earth-shattering event happened on the ground. I'm afraid that I will be swept to the end, if your king really has three longs and two shorts, whether he can save his life is also a question.
Urgently, he sent people to invite all the doctors in Quanzhou to come to the palace, and led a cadre of officials from Quanzhou to meet Wang Jia.
