Zhao entered the house, glanced at Zhang Wang, and said disdainfully: "For the sake of Yang Ming, you forced me to pay for wine (see Chapter 20), otherwise, I will definitely want you to look good!" ”

Li Qing saw that Yang Zhao was only a petty official and began to prepare to write a memoir, and he couldn't help sneering, so he smiled at Zhang Wang, who was angry: "Since Yang joined the army with a large number of adults, I don't care about your rudeness back then, and I will accompany him to pay a salute, even if it is past this festival." ”

Zhang Wang saw that the master had already ordered, he didn't dare not listen, and scolded Yang Zhao in his heart, so he had to give him a salute very reluctantly, and turned around to leave, but Li Qing stopped him.

"Wang Xiancheng asked me for help just now, you take a few people to do things for him, everything is the best, don't think about saving me money, you know?"

With Yang Zhao present, Li Qing didn't want him to know about it, but only said Wang Xiancheng, Zhang Wang knew that it was Wang Changling, so he hurriedly responded and left in a hurry.

Yang Zhao next to him heard it in a fog, and he didn't want to ask too much, so Li Qing called him Yang to join the army, which made him understand what Li Qing meant, his old face turned red, and he smiled awkwardly: "I actually didn't mean that, it's just that Zhang Wang's guy refused to bring me here, and he remembered the old account when he was angry, how could I not give Yang Ming noodles." ”

Li Qing smiled, "I hope that Brother Yang will always think about the past, and when he is developed in the future, don't forget to bring his brother along." ”

Yang Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "This should be what I said to you, Yangming Sheng's family is long, and he is red and purple in the court, which one is not red, you have to take the eldest brother with you." ”

Li Qing only smiled faintly, changed the topic, and asked with concern: "What about sister-in-law?" I brought it to Beijing this time, and I have a few nephews, I haven't seen them for a long time, so it's strange that I miss them. ”

Yang Zhao came today to try to set up old friendships, and secondly, he wanted to ask him to borrow some money, after coming to Beijing, he coaxed him to shoot it, and the money was spent like flowing water, and the little savings he saved for Li Qing's part-time job gradually bottomed out, and at this moment he saw that he was reluctant to mention the matter of officialdom, and he also knew that this topic was more sensitive, so he also followed his train of thought, and hinted with a smile: "I have the heart to let her come, but if she comes, our family will have to drink the northwest wind, I want to beg Yang Ming to give her more wages, I am so poor that I can't even afford to eat." ”

"People are husbands and noble women, you are good, you have to rely on your wife to support you when you become an official." Li Qing said, and handed him the five hundred yuan that Wang Changling didn't want just now, "Take it and use it first, if it's not enough, ask me again." ”

Yang Zhao took it with a smile, and when he glanced at it, his eyes were so shocked that his eyes were about to fall, 'Five hundred! He had never had such money in his life, and his heart was full of joy for a while, and his two pupils smiled squarely, and he quickly put the cabinet ticket into his arms, and then said: "Brother's good intentions, it seems hypocritical that the eldest brother does not take it, alas! When I entered Beijing, I learned that I was a young official, and I was also in my forties, so when would I be able to be as beautiful as my brother and make a head. ”

As he spoke, he squinted at Li Qing, hoping that he could point out one or two of himself and point out a clear path, but Li Qing ignored him, only hugged his shoulder and smiled: "Go!" We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's have a drink together. ”

Isn't it better to talk at this wine table? Yang Zhao said secretly, today he must force Li Qing to give himself an answer, his own brother, who will he help himself!

"Yes! It's the first time we've been drinking since we came to the capital, and today I'm in for a treat. ”

Li Qing walked to the courtyard, but saw Zhang Yiming whispering something to a guy in a corner, his eyes flickered, the guy nodded again and again, with a sinister smile on his face, Li Qing saw that the two of them had mysterious expressions, and couldn't help but shout, "Zhang Yiming!" ”

Zhang Yiming's two provocative ears were frightened, and he turned around slowly, blinking his eyes, looking at the owner innocently, but he gave the guy a kick and told him to leave quickly.

Li Qing was amused when he saw that he was still playing this kind of small action in front of him, but his face was flat: "What is so mysterious and secretive, as if it is unseemly." ”

Zhang Yiming glanced at Yang Zhao, lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, Li Qing understood, secretly praised this small progress, and stopped talking nonsense in front of outsiders, so he also changed his mouth and said: "If Zhang Wang comes to get money in the past two days, he will give as much as he wants, count it as my special approval, do you hear it." ”

Seeing that Li Qing no longer asked himself, Zhang Yiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly responded, and saw that they seemed to be going to drink, so he hesitated and said: "Proprietor, if you want to drink, I will introduce you to a good place, go out and turn right and walk about a hundred steps, you will see a wine shop, the store is called 'Black Skull', authentic Yizhou cuisine, and the wine is also very good!" ”

'Black Skull' Li Qing read it softly, suddenly understood, smiled at Zhang Yiming, and praised him for doing a good job.

Yang Zhao was still confused, and he didn't know why, but Li Qing snorted, "I, the shopkeeper, fell when I was a child, and my brain is often confused, but people are still loyal, don't say it, go drink!" ”

The two of them went out, and they were just about to go across the street, when they suddenly heard an angry roar from the store next to them: "Liu Ji dog thief, you give an explanation to the old man, where is the short 3,000 yuan in the account!" ”

And then 'Bang! There was a loud noise, like the sound of tables and chairs being knocked over, mixed with violent beatings and lamenting begs for mercy, and after a while, the sound did not disappear, but became more intense,

There were even people shouting 'Help!' ’

Li Qing and Yang Zhao looked at each other, and the two ran next door at the same time, Li Qing heard that this was Du Youlin's roar and scolding, presumably his eldest son-in-law took advantage of his greed for his money when he went to Nanzhao, plus the business was bleak, all the accumulated resentment broke out at this moment.

But Yang Zhao knows this Liu Ji (actually should be 勣), left

Cao participated in the military and often drank together, no wonder he suddenly made a generous move recently because of this, Yang Zhao gloated for a while, and wanted to rush to see his ugliness.

The two rushed into the courtyard, only to see Du Youlin bowing his back, his beard and hair standing up, like an angry cat, carrying a kitchen knife in his right hand, blood dripping from the edge of the knife, and his left hand clenching a thick account book, his face was bruised, his mouth and nose were twisted and deformed, and his eyes were about to burst out.

Opposite him was a man about thirty years old, slender and tall, with a large cut on his forehead, his face covered with blood, his clothes were torn, he was holding a chair in his hand, his eyes were staring at Du Youlin resentfully, moving left and right, resisting his pursuit at any time.

He is Du Youlin's eldest son-in-law, Su Ri is debauched and crazy, loves to make friends, and Yang Zhao is the same, he can't make ends meet, this time the father-in-law went to Nanzhao to make an envoy, and handed over the store to him to manage, he took the opportunity to make a few positions, adding up to three thousand, I thought it was hidden, but Du Youlin was dissatisfied with his performance, and wanted to check the purchase and sales in the past few months, but he found out these accounts, under the rage, people died for money, and Weng's son-in-law turned his face.

Li Qing saw that Du Youlin had lost his mind, and he was afraid of his life, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hug him and snatched his knife.

"You dog thief! If you don't pay back the old money, I'm not done with you! ”

Du Youlin was dragged into the house, he was still unwilling, and screamed while struggling: "I'm going to sue Tai and kill you dog thief!" ”

Liu Ji may be the most unfortunate son-in-law in the world, because he has a brother-in-law who is too much, needless to say, once he quarrels with his wife, Du Youlin jumped out and scolded him, how is the other son-in-law, how is he blind, he actually gave his swan-like eldest daughter to this toad to eat, otherwise at least he can marry a county king, and so on, after a long time, the resentment in his heart is growing day by day, this time he saw that his father-in-law cut him with a dead hand, and the resentment in his heart also accumulated to the extreme, he saw that his father-in-law had been controlled, and quickly ran out, while scolding in a low voice: "Raised by a son of a bitch, is it great to have a son-in-law?" Dream of being the ruler all day long, if you have the ability, you can rebel, and if you cut the emperor, you can be the ruler, phew! Something, I always want to sue you. ”

His original intention was to go to the ministry to tell Du Youlin to run out to do business, but the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and Yang Zhao, who had been suffering from not having the opportunity to show himself in front of Li Linfu, was stunned, 'rebellion, sue', he seemed to suddenly find a piece of land in the boundless sea, Du Youlin and Tai conspired to rebel. ”

didn't bother to say hello to Li Qing, turned around, and ran out with him.

Liu Ji tore off a piece of his shirt and covered his head, and hastily wiped the blood off his face, the anger on his face gradually disappeared, but the resentment in his heart deepened, and he said to himself: 'Divorce her, marry another one again!' ’

"Liu joins the army and stays!" Liu Ji turned around, but saw that it was Yang Zhao, the Jinwu guard Cao Shenjun, and then he remembered that he had seen him just now, and he was angry for a while, but he forgot to say hello.

He smiled bitterly, turned back to Yang Zhao and saluted: "It turned out that Yang joined the army, why are you also in the West Market?" ”

"I'm on a shift today, and I happen to have a brother who also has a store here, and I came to him today, which is the store next door to your father-in-law."

"Captain Li is your brother?"

Liu Ji looked at him incredulously, Li Qing, the Pingnan general who was famous in Chang'an, turned out to be his brother, and couldn't help but be a little in awe.

Yang Zhao was a little proud, but he was afraid that he would not believe it, so he took out the five hundred yuan cabinet ticket from his arms and shook it in front of him, "This is five hundred yuan, he heard that I had no money, so he forced it to me, and he couldn't push it off, alas!" ”

Liu Ji suddenly thought of his father-in-law, he just took a little money from him, he had to fight hard with himself, and he usually boasted that he regarded money as dung everywhere, but now it seems that he treats himself like dung, his face couldn't help but be gloomy for a while, and he said in a low voice: "What happened just now, I just hope that Brother Yang doesn't publicize it everywhere." ”

"How can I preach it, Brother Liu thinks of me as something."

Yang Zhao sneered in his heart, of course he would not publicize it, he wanted Liu Ji's hatred to take root quickly, he looked at him with pity, and said provocatively: "But it is the first time I have seen a father-in-law treat his son-in-law like this, not like a father-in-law, but like an enemy for several generations, and Brother Liu can still bear it, I admire it." ”

"What if you can't bear it, he will press me too much at every turn", thinking of his usual hatred, Liu Ji gritted his teeth and pulled his muscles, and the blood on his forehead that had just coagulated broke open again, and blood gushed out.

Yang Zhao hurriedly tied him tightly with a silk handkerchief, and said casually while tying it: "I think if you don't pay him back this time, even if you endure it again, he will never let you go." ”

Liu Ji was stunned, this was what he was most worried about, the money had been squandered, how could he pay it back, and he heard Yang Zhao say to himself: "This knife, no matter how deep it is, you will die, so ruthless, how can you be his son-in-law." ”

Yang Zhao's words were like a knife, piercing his heart, he was a freewheeling and crazy person, this kind of person did things only on a moment's pleasure, never thinking about the consequences, he remembered Du Youlin's ruthlessness when he waved the knife, and his eyes shot out two unforgettable hatreds.

"I always want to sue him and squat in prison, I think he dares to go again!"

Yang Zhao saw that the fire had arrived, so he smiled gloomily,

's shoulder said: "The big husband should be happy and revenge, go!" Let's drink and squat in the prison, the store is yours, no, I have to treat you today. ”

He looked around, a few steps ahead of him was a wine shop, a few hot orchids at the door were beckoning to welcome guests, 'people are not romantic, only for poverty', with five hundred as the bottom, Yang Zhao was naturally full of confidence, so he pulled Liu Ji, shy belly pushed the door in, he only had a big chest and buttocks in his eyes, but he didn't pay attention to the black background and red edge of the wine banner at the door embroidered a dazzling skull.

.

And said that Li Qing persuaded Du Youlin for a long time, and promised to let him give him a big business, so that he could make up for the loss, Du Youlin's anger was barely extinguished, he looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and couldn't help but regret that his subordinates were too heavy, although he looked down on his eldest son-in-law, but after all, his daughter was married to him, and he made too much trouble, and it was his daughter who suffered in the end.

It's just that he didn't admit it in front of outsiders, he just bowed his head and said nothing, Li Qing knew that he regretted it, and

discussed the details of the delivery with him again, and finally Du Youlin stood up with a smile, and his anger disappeared.

Li Qing pressed his shoulder, and walked out of his store with a smile, but he couldn't see any trace of Yang Zhao left and right, and he was a little surprised, "Could it be that he has already left after getting the money?" Probably not, this person has always been insatiable, and he didn't get the promise of his help, how could he be willing to leave? ”

According to Li Qing's original intention, he invested in Yang Zhao back then to wait for him to return to himself after he developed, but the world is like chess, as if he is playing the role of Yang Guozhong in history, but he has no strength, and it is really unwise to become Li Linfu's enemy too early.

After waiting for a while, there was still no trace of Yang Zhao, Li Qing had to go back to his store, he was just about to enter the door, but he saw a person walking on the street in front of him, looking skinny, as if a human skin was directly put on a skeleton, although the appearance was ugly, Li Qing's heart was filled with warmth, and the person who came was the skeleton who did secret things for himself.

Just now Zhang Yiming hinted to himself that they opened a wine shop, and the shopkeeper is a skeleton, which should be used to collect intelligence, no wonder their business has been booming in the past few months, and even making a few big orders seems to be related to this wine shop.

"Skeleton, what, didn't you see me?"

The skeleton was walking in a hurry with his head down, and suddenly he seemed to hear Li Qing's voice, and when he looked up, wasn't the person standing in front of him his own owner? Immediately surprised and delighted, "My lord, when did you come back?" I didn't know! ”

Li Qing smiled slightly, "I came back yesterday, seeing that you were in such a hurry, but I have information to discuss with Zhang Yiming." ”

The skeleton scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "It turns out that the adults know, there is not much information today, only a big food merchant wants to buy three hundred horses of Caijin, and I have already sent a brother to follow him." ”

Li Qing looked behind him again and said, "When you come over, you can see a man wearing a Jinwu guard uniform, about forty years old."

"Jin Wuwei uniform, four

"Yes! He was in my shop just now. ”

The skeleton took a step forward and whispered to Li Qing: "It's just two people, who have been plotting in the wine shop for a long time, not talking, only writing on the table with wine, ghostly and happy, one of them is wearing a Jinwu guard uniform, staring at the orchid in a daze as soon as he enters the door, and keeps showing off his five hundred counter tickets to them." ”

Needless to say, this must be Yang Zhao, he looked for him everywhere and couldn't see him, it turned out that he actually ran to drink, Li Qing's heart suddenly moved, and he asked urgently: "Is the other person covered with blood?" ”

"It should be!" It is also bandaged. ”

Sure enough, it was Yang Zhao and Liu Ji, Li Qing suddenly had a strong interest, what were they talking about? Thinking of this, he asked again, "Are they still there?" ”

"When I came, they had already gotten up to settle the bill, so they should have left by now."

Li Qing lowered his head and thought about it, and then hurriedly said, "You can take me to see the table they are sitting on." ”

Rushed to the wine store, the two had just left, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table where they were drinking had been taken away, but thankfully, the table had not been wiped yet.

"Don't rub it!"

Li Qing stretched out his hand to stop the guy who came to wipe the table, he lay on the table and checked carefully, although most of it had been dried, but the finger marks could still be seen from the reflection from the side, and it was indeed full of handwriting.

He chose a clearer place, and carefully exhaled the white breath with his mouth, and the finger marks were moistened, and gradually the handwriting was re-revealed.

It was difficult to read what they had written because of the overlapping handwriting, but there were four words that he could vaguely read, 'collusion, rebellion'

There are only a few words that can barely be seen clearly, but it seems to be a shock, which makes Li Qing stunned for a moment, "Who is colluding with, and who is rebelling with." ”

He paced around the room with his head down, he had already roughly guessed that Yang Zhao wanted to make trouble, but what was his motive? And who is the target? Suddenly, Li Qing found a few drops of blood in the cracks, and he was slightly stunned, but at this moment, he Huo Ran understood, 'Du Youlin, Tai'

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes slowly narrowed into a slit, "Not bad!" Not bad! I read you right, it's a bit of a wrist. ”
