Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Beating

"Huh? Anything else? After sighing for a while, Xiao Yu found that the shopkeeper did not leave after delivering the tea, and couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

"It's nothing." The shopkeeper's hands were a little cramped: "It's just that the villain has a question that he wants to ask the adult - this matter shouldn't have been asked by the villain, but ......"

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "Okay, whatever you want to ask, just ask, we are also old acquaintances, if it is not any secret, I will answer you." ”

"Then thank you Master Xiao, the villain's problem is...... It's ......" The shopkeeper lowered his voice: "Master Xiao, are you really in touch with foreign countries?" ”

"Of course not." Xiao Yu felt that he had been wronged to death: "I admit that I do oppose the imperial court's conquest of Goguryeo, but I really don't have access to foreign countries." ”

"Fart, if you don't have a foreign connection, why is your name in the newspaper?" Although the voices of the two of them are small, don't forget that since Xiao Yu came in, the voice of the entire teahouse has been much lower, and with the attention of people with a heart, it is still very simple to hear the content of their conversation clearly.

Therefore, when Xiao Yu denied it at this time, some people were angry at that time, holding a copy of "Datang Daily", and said angrily: "Do you dare not admit it, the newspaper is clearly written, and your Xiao Yu's name is ranked first, are you doubting the fairness of the newspaper?" ”

"I certainly don't doubt the impartiality of the newspaper." Xiao Yu said helplessly: "But look for yourself, the lists written in the newspaper are all people who raised objections in the court yesterday, and they are all traitors who are in contact with foreign countries." ”

"Che, do you think you can explain it like this?" Another person sneered: "It's not that the imperial court doesn't have evidence of your treason, so it can only expose you in this way?" ”

"I really didn't betray the country, I just opposed the country's conquest of Goguryeo." Xiao Yu defended, other crimes are enough, he really dare not carry the reputation of treason against the enemy, once he is infected with this reputation, let alone him, the entire Xiao family will be scolded for hundreds of years.

"Oh? You say you are against the national conquest of Goguryeo? A middle-aged man who looked like a Confucian student said, "Isn't it good to conquer Goguryeo?" Why are you objecting? ”

"That's right, when the Sui was in the past, Goguryeo killed how many of our comrades, and now we go to take revenge, shouldn't we?"

"Don't talk about back then, just over the years, Goguryeo has been picking quarrels and provoking trouble at the border every year, killing the people of my Tang Dynasty, this revenge, we should have avenged it a long time ago, why did you stop us from taking revenge?"

"I ......" Xiao Yu was speechless, he couldn't say anything about his selfishness, right? can only argue strongly: "Back then, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, labored the people and lost money, but lost three battles and lost three times, and suffered countless casualties, I am afraid that Your Majesty will also repeat the mistakes of the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, so I spoke out against it - is it wrong for me to do this?" ”

It stands to reason that it is okay to fool ordinary people with this excuse, but it is not that there are no people who do not understand in this world, I saw that the middle-aged Confucian just now sneered when he heard this: "And, it sounds good, isn't it just that I am afraid that Your Majesty will destroy Goguryeo, and my Tang Dynasty will have no foreign enemies, are you afraid that Your Majesty will turn back and clean up your families?" ”

"You...... You don't want to spew blood. Xiao Yu was shocked, he didn't expect that someone could see his inner thoughts, and he didn't expect this person to be so taboo-free, you must know that although the relationship between the court and the family is not good, the two sides have no intention of turning their faces for the time being, but the person in front of him actually said the collusion between the court and the family, which made Xiao Yu feel incredible.

"Who the hell are you?" Xiao Yu pointed at the middle-aged Confucian and said angrily: "If you arrange the court officials so arbitrarily and slander the important ministers of the court, are you not afraid of a bad future?" ”

"It's not talented, Wang Xuance." The middle-aged Confucian was not afraid at all: "How about me, I told you about your sore feet, and you are annoyed and angry?" As for the future, you don't have to worry about this, I will naturally earn the future by myself. ”

Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, everyone in the teahouse was in an uproar, how could they not understand that what the young man Wang Xuance said was true? is even more angry.

"I see, you don't have any good intentions."

"Eating the food of the country, but not for selfishness, is this the discipline of your scholars?"

"For your own selfishness and disregard for the interests of the country, what is the difference between your actions and traitors?"

"That's it, you traitor, I almost believed you just now."

"Hmph, if you eat people and don't do anything, I'll kill you."

"That's right, brothers, the big traitor is right in front of you, come if you want to relieve your hatred."

Then a group of people rushed up, and the first one person put Xiao Yu down with a fist.

"Ah...... "Poor Xiao Yu, a thin literati in his sixties, where can he recover the opponents of these young and strong rangers?" It just screamed, and then it was overwhelmed by the crowd.

When the city patrol Yushi arrived, there was only one Xiao Yu who was about to be killed on the ground, and as for the murderer, none of them were gone, only Wang Xuance was still sitting calmly on the tea table, drinking tea lightly.

inquired about the situation of the surrounding people, arranged for someone to take Xiao Yu to treat his injuries and notify his family, and the imperial history of the city patrol came to him: "Your name is Wang Xuance?" ”

"Not bad."

"Why did you fan the people and beat Song Guogong?"

"I fan the people? Where do you start? Wang Xuance chuckled and said, "I just asked Song Guogong a few questions, but I didn't beat Song Guogong." As for the beating of him, it was done by the people who were not used to seeing him as a female cousin and setting up a memorial arch, but not my business, I have been drinking tea here from beginning to end.

You don't want to think about it, I'm just a small seven-rank sesame official in Honglu Temple, I dare to beat Song Guogong? Isn't that a rebellion? Am I still in the mood for tea here? I've been running away a long time ago, right? ”

Seeing that Wang Xuance was so cunning, the city patrol Yushi couldn't help frowning: "Anyway, you are the relevant person in this matter, you must come with me." ”

"That's fine." Wang Xuance nodded and got up, and was about to leave with the Imperial History of the City Patrol.

Suddenly, the shopkeeper of the teahouse, who had disappeared since the fight just now, suddenly ran over sweating profusely, shouting as he ran: "Wait a minute, wait a minute." ”

"What?" The Imperial History of the City Patrol stopped, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "By the way, speaking of which, the incident happened in your restaurant, and you should also go back with me to be investigated." ”

"No problem, but I have one thing to do before I go." The shopkeeper was dressed roughly, pointed at Wang Xuance and said, "......"

I'm sorry, I said in the past few days that I would pay off my debts on the fourth watch, but there have always been things, and I can only keep the third watch.
