Chapter Seventy-Four: Anger
Not only the few unaware candidates from other counties, but Yang Renxiao's face also showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but stop, although he hated Li Hongyu, he was full of sympathy and even pity for Qin Yue, and he didn't think about hurting her at all.
"Bastard!" Li Hongyi was angered by the round-faced candidate's action, and after scolding in his mouth, he clenched his fists and rushed over, wanting to teach this guy who didn't hold his mouth a lesson.
It's a pity that he was a step too slow, and before Li Hongyi could take two steps, a figure had already rushed to the front of the round-faced candidate, picked up the exam basket he was carrying and smashed it heavily on the round-faced candidate's head, blood splashing everywhere.
The round-faced candidate did not have the slightest defense, and suddenly let out a sharp wail from his mouth, and fell to the ground holding his bleeding head.
"I'll let you talk nonsense, I'll let you talk nonsense!" Immediately after, the figure who smashed the round-faced candidate with the test basket threw the test basket in his hand, raised his foot and kicked the round-faced candidate's body, shouting angrily as he kicked it, causing the round-faced candidate to scream.
The people around were suddenly amazed by the scene in front of them, and they were stunned for a while, and looked at Li Hongyu who was kicking there with their mouths wide open, no one expected that Li Hongyu would actually do it and it looked quite heavy.
"Quick, pull him away." Li Hongyu, who was shocked, was the first to come back to his senses, and when he saw the screaming round-faced candidate bleeding all over his face, he knew that something was going wrong, so he hurriedly screamed and rushed forward to hug Li Hongyu.
Several candidates on the side also reacted, and rushed up to pull the emotional Li Hongyu away from the round-faced candidate, leaving only the round-faced candidate lying on the ground covering his head and wailing.
Every time the college exam, a lot of people gather outside the county school, some of them are the candidates' family members and friends, and some are the people who come to see the excitement.
Seeing that Li Hongyu and the round-faced examinee had a conflict, those people outside the county school surrounded one after another, pointing at the round-faced examinee and Li Hongyu and discussing each other, not knowing what was going on.
Qin Yue covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Li Hongyu who was panting in shock, no matter what, she didn't expect that the timid and cowardly Li Hongyu would stand up for her and teach a lesson to the round-faced candidates who insulted her in public, and she had mixed feelings for a while.
Rou'er, who was standing beside Qin Yue, looked anxiously at the round-faced candidate who fell to the ground and wailed, in case Li Hongyu suffered a lawsuit because of this matter, then it would be a big deal, and the talent and fame in hand would fly.
"What's going on?" The conflict in front of the Fuxue Gate naturally alarmed the Xiangyang guards on duty, and a hundred households led people over with expressionless faces, glanced at the round-faced candidates with blood and wailing faces, and Li Hongyu, who was emotional, and asked quietly.
"My friends are joking." Li Hongyi smiled at the hundred-faced candidate, then pointed at the round-faced candidate, and shouted at the Li family on the side, "Don't send someone to the hospital quickly." ”
The subordinates of the Li family immediately reacted, and hurriedly rushed forward to raise the round-faced candidate and left in a hurry, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
The candidates who followed Yang Renxiao originally wanted to stop the round-faced candidates from being taken away, but Yang Renxiao stretched out his hand to stop them, glanced at Li Hongyu with a complicated expression, turned around and left, and went to the hospital to visit the round-faced candidates.
"This is an important place for government and learning, don't make trouble, violators will be severely punished." The hundred-faced candidate saw that the round-faced candidate was taken away from the scene, so he admonished Li Hongyi with a serious expression, and then waved his hand at the people watching around, "Disperse, everyone disperse, there's nothing to see." ”
Saying that, the hundred households left with their subordinates, and they didn't mean to arrest Li Hongyu at all.
"Let's go." Li Hongyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, pulled Li Hongyu, and led everyone to leave this place of right and wrong in a hurry, he was really afraid that the hundred households would detain Li Hongyu just now, and then things would become a little troublesome.
However, that Baihu is more sophisticated and not a nosy person, so since no one has given the beaten round-faced candidate a head, he doesn't bother to pay attention to this matter and doesn't want to make trouble for himself.
After all, as long as this kind of private brawl does not result in human life, then the people in the yamen will uphold the principle of not prosecuting the people and not holding the officials accountable.
"These young people!"
The conflict at the gate of the school was quickly reported to Yan Yan and Liu Wenxu in the invigilator, and after learning that Li Hongyu beat the round-faced candidate because of Qin Yue, Liu Wenxu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, you must know that this is a critical moment for the two to gain fame, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get fame?
"Young and frivolous, we also came from that age." Yan Yan smiled disappreciatively, in his opinion, it is a good thing that young people are a little hot, it is always thousands of times better than those who only know that they only promise to end up with a corpse vegetarian meal.
After stepping into the official career, the unruly edges and corners of Li Hongyu and others will soon be smoothed out by officialdom, and they will gradually become mature and stable.
Besides, Yan Yan also felt that the round-faced candidate really deserved to be beaten, and he even insulted Qin Yue with vicious words in public, so it was reasonable for Li Hongyu, his fiancé, to do it.
To tell the truth, neither Liu Wenxu nor Yan Yan took Li Hongyu's lesson to the round-faced candidates to heart, the fault of this matter lies with both parties, if there is a lawsuit, no one will benefit, only lose.
After all, the judgment of the ancient magistrate did not only look at who was seriously injured, but also who provoked the incident first, etc., which were mixed with a lot of personal emotional factors, and it was obvious that Liu Wenxu appreciated Li Hongyu who had the opportunity to be promoted in the examination, so he would definitely favor Li Hongyu when trying the case.
This is also a reason why Yang Renxiao didn't give the round-faced candidate a head, if the matter really gets into trouble, the round-faced candidate will definitely not be able to escape the crime of slandering Qin Yue, this crime can be big or small, Liu Wenxu wants to play him to death is easy to do.
In addition, Yang Renxiao was also quite annoyed by the unwise stupidity of the round-faced candidate, and took the opportunity to let him learn a lesson to avoid future disasters.
After Zhao Guangfeng learned of this, he immediately asked Zhao Wenhan to take the tonics to see the round-faced candidate, and the round-faced candidate lived in Fucheng, so Zhao Wenhan brought an intermediary to mediate, and reached a settlement with the round-faced candidate's family on the matter very smoothly, and compensated for the medical expenses and nutrition expenses.
Although the round-faced candidate was beaten by Li Hongyu, because he was at fault first, his family didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and they couldn't afford to mess with Zhao Guangfeng.
"What? The head of the Li case beat someone in front of the Fuxue Gate! ”
Xiao Baimian was shooting arrows in Xiangyangwei's shooting range when he learned about this, and he couldn't help but show a surprised look after listening to the report of his subordinates, but he didn't expect Li Hongyu, who looked polite, to be so impulsive.
"Li's fiancée was involved in a weathering case last year, and some people publicly ridiculed her for being out of character in that case, which angered Li." The man explained methodically, and he didn't know the exact situation.
"So that's the case, then he really deserves to be beaten." Hearing this, Xiao Baimian nodded, then drew his bow with an arrow, and shot an arrow at the target in the distance, hitting the bull's-eye.
"That guy is really blind, now Li Hongyu is a celebrity in front of the prefect, the prefect must be waiting for Li Hongyu to make a splash in the township test, if the matter is really going to get bigger, it is he who suffers."
Sun Feng on the side smiled and shot the arrow in his hand, although he also shot at the arrow target, but unfortunately he failed to hit the bull's-eye.
"But he's also a man, I thought he would swallow his anger and swallow this evil breath for the sake of fame." After glancing at the target, Sun Feng smiled at the little white face.
"yes, I didn't expect him to be a little angry." Xiao Baimian also laughed, and said with a joke, "If you go to the battlefield, you shouldn't be scared to pee your pants." ”
"Alas, I really don't know what the first emperors thought, they actually wanted the literati to lead the troops, and they knew what the marching array was?"
Sun Feng couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, shook his head and said, with a depressed look on his face, he picked up an arrow and shot it, this time the arrow hit the bull's-eye.
Xiao Bai smiled and didn't answer, and shot arrows there by himself, since the first battle of Tumubao, the civilian group has gradually overwhelmed the Xungui group that should be evenly matched in the court, so under the influence of those literati, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was worried that the military generals would mess up the country, so naturally he would suppress the military with literature.
After all, Xiucai's rebellion failed for three years, and the rebellion of the generals would shake the foundation of the court, and the Jingjing Battle of Emperor Yongle was the best proof of this.
Like Sun Feng, many military attachés in the Ming Dynasty must have been dissatisfied with the civilian army, which would not only reduce the combat effectiveness of the army but also make the status of the military attaché low.
It is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the military, and it is impossible to change it when the civilian group is in power, so Sun Feng can only complain, helpless against reality.
In the evening, the Lee House.
Li Hongyu sent away Li Renbo and the others who were visiting him, pacing back and forth in the courtyard with their hands behind their backs, with a relaxed look on their faces, looking leisurely, as if they didn't take the matter of teaching round-faced candidates to heart.
Originally, with Li Hongyu's calm personality, he would not rashly clash with others, but the words of the round-faced candidate not only insulted Qin Yue but also humiliated him, he naturally couldn't be indifferent, how could he see Qin Yue being bullied, no matter how Qin Yue's current identity is his fiancée.
In addition, Li Hongyu originally felt guilty about Qin Yue in his heart, but now he couldn't bear it when he saw her being humiliated in public.
As for the consequences, Li Hongyu really didn't think about it at the time, after all, people have a bottom line in their hearts, and once they exceed this bottom line, they will lose their minds, and Li Hongyu is of course no exception.
After Li Hongyi pulled him away, Li Hongyu, who gradually calmed down his excited mood, realized that he seemed to be in trouble.
At first, he was a little worried about being punished, but then he realized that his beating didn't seem to be a big deal.
Aside from Zhao Guangfeng's relationship, Liu Wenxu will definitely protect him as the head of the government test, and if the prefect comes forward, he will naturally be able to settle everything.
However, Zhao Xin, Qin Yue, Rou'er, Li Hongyi and others were quite worried about this matter, after all, Li Hongyu broke the heads of the round-faced candidates, and Li Hongyu would get into trouble if the other party pursued them.
Because of Li Hongyu's matter, Zhao Xin, Li Hongyi and others' evening party was also disrupted, who still has the heart to drink and have fun at this time.
"Thank you for today's events." When Li Hongyu was strolling and pondering the whereabouts of the Bai family, a voice sounded from behind him, and Qin Yue, who was wearing a white dress, walked over with a smile.
"He slanders your name, and you should be beaten." Li Hongyu stopped and said seriously.
"You are a scholar, how can you be rude, wouldn't that be insulting to Sven and make others laugh." Qin Yue couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said, "Don't intervene in this kind of thing in the future, leave it to me, and I'll help you finish it." ”
"Okay." Li Hongyu nodded, vaguely feeling that Qin Yue seemed to be a little different from usual, but he didn't know what was different for a while.
With Li Hongyu's nod, the scene fell silent, Qin Yue really didn't know what to say to Li Hongyu next, and Li Hongyu naturally couldn't take the initiative to provoke Qin Yue.
"It's a nice night tonight, let's take a walk." Perhaps realizing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Qin Yue smiled at Li Hongyu and walked up, Li Hongyu didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, so he frowned slightly and followed quickly.
"Can you teach me to play the violin in the future?" After the two walked silently under the starlight for a while, Qin Yue broke the silence of the scene and looked at Li Hongyu beside him with a smile.
"Absolutely." Li Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, but he couldn't refuse, so he agreed hard.
"In addition to the violin, does Xiyi have any other musical instruments?" Qin Yue smiled when she heard this, and asked as she walked, she thought of a topic that she could chat with Li Hongyu, that is, those strange Xiyi musical instruments.
"There are many musical instruments in Xiyi, the most famous is that in addition to the violin, there is also a six-stringed instrument similar to the shape of the violin, which is called the guitar."
Li Hongyu nodded when he heard this, and after a little muttering, he said in an orderly manner, "Because the guitar has a speaker specially used for pronunciation, it can produce a unique resonance sound, and it sounds very gloomy." ”
"Can you make a guitar out?" Qin Yue's eyes lit up for a moment, and she said with a smile, "I think those Xiyi instruments are very peculiar, and I want to learn to play them, so that I can learn from our Ming instruments." ”
"Hmm." Li Hongyu nodded, he couldn't refuse this condition, after all, he had played the violin, so the guitar was naturally no problem.
"Tell me about the guitar amps,"
Seeing that Li Hongyu agreed, Qin Yue couldn't help but say with interest, she has liked musical instruments since she was a child, and the Xiyi musical instruments that Li Hongyu talked about aroused her strong interest, and if she can learn it, it will definitely be refreshing for everyone.
"The inside of the guitar is empty, and this is done for better resonance, and as for the resonance, it is ......"
Li Hongyu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then methodically introduced the structure and performance of the guitar to Qin Yue, explaining it in words that Qin Yue could understand as much as possible.
Qin Yue nodded from time to time, and asked Li Hongyu for advice when she encountered a question she didn't understand, and Li Hongyu patiently answered it.
As the atmosphere of the scene became relaxed, Li Hongyu and Qin Yue, who were originally more than a meter apart in the middle, got closer and closer, and then they were almost next to each other, but the two talked too much so that no one noticed this change.
"It's still Miss who is powerful, where is the third son who is Miss's opponent." Xiao Lan, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, couldn't help but smile when she saw this, turned around and left happily, so as not to disturb Qin Yue and Li Hongyu's solitude.
Although Li Hongyu's beating of the round-faced candidate spread all over Xiangyang City overnight, because the families of both parties wanted the matter to be private, they did not go to court, but turned the big thing into a small thing, and it was gradually forgotten by people.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Li Hongyu was concentrating on drawing illustrations of Western musical instruments such as violins and guitars in his room, and if conditions permitted, he would find time to make these instruments, which would definitely come in handy in the capital in the future.
"Young master, I found it." Just when Li Hongyu was able to draw energetically, Rou'er walked in excitedly, "I found the Bai family, she was really hiding in a town outside the city, the hostess of the family where she was hiding was her child's nurse three years ago, she helped the other party a lot at that time, and the two sides have been in contact in private." ”
"Privately?" Li Hongyu couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, then stretched out, and said to Rou'er with a smile, "It seems that Niu Feng is dead this time." ”
"Young Master, when are we going to move the Bai Clan?" Rou'er also laughed, she had been busy for so long and finally found the Bai family, so she could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
"Don't be in a hurry, let people stare at her, as a big gift to the Patrolman." Li Hongyu smiled and shook his head, his purpose was to find the Bai family, and the rest of the matter would be handed over to the government to solve, and judging from the current situation, he seemed to have another gain.
"Young master, tomorrow is the day of the academy test list, do you want to go to Fuxue to see the list?" Rou'er smiled slightly when she heard this, then remembered something and asked.
"There will definitely be a lot of people there in Fuxue tomorrow, so I won't go."
Li Hongyu stood up and lazily lazy, he was not interested in looking at the list, anyway, he had already been able to gain the fame of Xiucai, as for whether he could get the top spot in the exam, it was up to fate.
It's nothing if the horse misses and fails to get into the head of the case, his ultimate goal is Jinshi, as long as he can achieve this goal, nothing else is forced.
Rou'er smiled when she heard this, he found that Li Hongyu was a very open-minded person, although he ******** to take the imperial examination now, he was not fanatical about fame, and if he left it to others, he would definitely go to Fuxue to see the list early.
