"Strange thing, how did Young Master Li know that this official was here?"

After the initial stunned, Zhang Heng came back to his senses and looked at Governor Liu with some astonishment, it stands to reason that Li Hongyu shouldn't know that he came to Nanyang to greet him. Eight? A Chinese network? ? ≥＝≥．≥８≤１≤Ｚ≈≈．≥Ｃ≠ＯＭ

"Could it be a liar? Under the banner of Young Master Li, he swaggered and deceived. Governor Liu also felt that things were quite strange, so he said after a deep sigh, don't say that there are not many local officials, even those Beijing officials have seen Li Hongyu.

This is not only because Li Hongyu is running around all the year round, but also because Li Hongyu is in a high position and is a close minister of the emperor's side, and officials who are not at the right level cannot see him at all.

Taking the capital dynasty as an example, Li Hongyu was surrounded by high-ranking officials and magnates of the Ming Dynasty, which made other officials only watch from a distance, and they couldn't see his appearance clearly in the crowd at all.

Therefore, although Governor Liu was also in the capital before he came to Nanyang Mansion to take office, he had only seen Li Hongyu once from afar, and he had never seen Li Hongyu up close at all, otherwise he would not have recognized the young man in front of him as the famous young master of the Ming Dynasty.

"This official has had several encounters with Young Master Li, and the outside world doesn't know that Young Master Li has returned to his hometown and province, so he shouldn't be a liar."

Zhang Heng shook his head when he heard this, then stood up and tidied up the official robe on his body, and said to Governor Liu, "Let's go, let's go and meet the young master." ”

"Your Excellency, please." Governor Liu didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly stood up, bowed down and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Heng.

"Where is Young Master Li now?" Zhang Heng walked towards the door and asked as he walked.

"Listen to the people of Young Master Li, Young Master Li is in the juggling hall of the city market." The attendant who had come to report replied respectfully.

"Miscellaneous...... Juggling field? Hearing this, Governor Liu, who was following Zhang Heng, was slightly stunned at first, and then his face suddenly changed, and his whole body tensed.

"What's going on?" Zhang Heng noticed that Governor Liu's face had become ugly, so he looked at him with some puzzlement, not knowing what was going on.

"Lord Governor, how does Young Master Li look?" Hearing this, Governor Liu came back to his senses and asked with a bloodless face.

"Master Young Master is young and promising, dignified, and at first glance he is a personable Confucian scholar." Zhang Heng felt that Governor Liu's reaction at this time was too strange, so he asked, "Governor Liu, have you seen Lord Governor?" ”

"Is there a Mongolian girl by Young Master Li's side?"

Hearing this, Governor Liu's mind suddenly became blank, and the "gentleman" in the juggling field was not exactly a dignified and elegant person, and then looked at Zhang Heng and asked eagerly, ready to verify.

"That's the lord of Caixia, the little princess of the Khalkha Department of Mongolia."

Zhang Heng sensed something from Governor Liu's strange reaction, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Governor Liu, are you...... You won't offend Master Master, will you? ”

When Governor Liu heard this, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell, so panicked that the maid on the side hurriedly came up to help.

"Lord Governor, for the sake of us going out of Donglin together, you have to save the lower officials!"

Governor Liu pushed away the maid who came over, then bent his legs, knelt in front of Zhang Heng, and pleaded with a dismal face, he offended Li Hongyu in the juggling field just now, and once Li Hongyu made a move, he would die without a place to bury.

"What's going on?" Zhang Heng's face changed when he heard this, he never expected that Governor Liu would offend Li Hongyu, and hurriedly asked.

"Lord Governor, it was all the unfilial son of the lower official, and that brute actually provoked Young Master Li."

Hearing this, Governor Liu suddenly smiled bitterly, his smile was full of bitterness and annoyance, and he told the story of the incident one by one, no wonder that young man talked about the court and the government, it turned out that he was the young master of the Ming Dynasty.

"You, you, how could you be so careless, Young Master Li has just suffered a belly in the court now, didn't you hit the knife edge!" After learning what happened, Zhang Heng immediately became anxious, and couldn't help but shout at Governor Liu.

"Lord Governor, the lower officials really didn't know that Young Master Li would return to his hometown, and he thought she was the son of a powerful family of which family."

Hearing this, Governor Liu replied with a sad face, if he knew that the person in the juggling arena was Li Hongyu, then he would not dare to be rude to Li Hongyu if he was killed.

"The bell must be tied to the bell, and the disaster is caused by you, so naturally it is up to you to solve it."

Although he felt annoyed in his heart, Zhang Heng couldn't sit back and watch Governor Liu's bad luck, after all, they all belonged to the Donglin family, and if he didn't save him when he saw death, he would inevitably be criticized, so he said to Governor Liu after a deep sigh.

"Do you have to tie the bell to the bell?" Governor Liu is now in a state of confusion, where is the ability to think, Wen Yan looked at Zhang Heng blankly, not knowing what Zhang Heng meant.

"You immediately rush over to ask the young master for his guilt, only if the young master forgives you, you can have a chance of life."

Zhang Heng leaned over and stared at Governor Liu's mansion, and said solemnly, "Now that our Donglin is owing the favor of the young master, you are provoking the young master now, how can you let the assistant master protect you?" ”

"Yes, yes, the bell must be tied to the bell."

Hearing this, Governor Liu's cold sweat rolled down his cheeks, and he nodded repeatedly, it was obvious that the Donglin Party would not protect him in this matter now.

After all, Zhao Hongxian broke the rules of officialdom, so the Donglin Party owes Li Hongyu an explanation, how can it fight against Li Hongyu for the sake of Governor Liu?

Besides, the son of Governor Liu not only robbed the people's daughters in public, but also made frivolous remarks about Li Hongyu's women such as Qin Yue and Naren Toya, which is really deserved, and once the Donglin Party intervenes, it will be tantamount to declaring war on Li Hongyu, which is not something that the moderates and radicals of the Donglin Party want to see.

Juggling field.

Li Hongyu was slowly sipping tea there, waiting for Zhang Heng's arrival with a leisurely expression, and the people around him were buzzing and discussing there.

At this moment, the juggling arena was already full of people who had heard the news and rushed to see the excitement, and they stretched out their heads one by one to look inside, all wanting to see the embarrassed appearance of the fat boy at this time.

If it weren't for the errand officers in the yamen who came out to maintain order when they saw that something was wrong, I am afraid that the cloth used by the juggling class to circle the field would have been ripped by the people who watched the excitement, and Li Hongyu and the others had no intention of running anyway.

"The prefect is here." Just as people were talking about each other, a voice rang out, and the pale-faced Governor Liu hurried over and walked quickly into the juggling arena.

"Master Young Master, the lower official should be damned, I don't know Taishan and collided with the adult, I hope the young master will forgive me!"

The appearance of Governor Liu immediately attracted the attention of the people in the juggling field, and under the gaze of everyone at the scene, he walked quickly to Li Hongyu, knelt down with a plop, stretched out his hand to open the bow left and right, and slapped himself.

The sudden scene made the people present stunned, and they all looked at the scene in front of them with stunned expressions, who would have thought that the dignified prefect would slap himself in public, this is a strange news in the world.

"This eldest sister, you have been wronged by the previous incident, and it is the court inspector who is not strict that will cause today's matter, this is a little caution in the next place, it can be regarded as a compensation for you."

Li Hongyu knew that Governor Liu must have realized his identity, and he suddenly felt excited in his heart, so he had no interest in repairing Governor Liu, who had already raised his hand and surrendered, so he got up and walked to Xiuniang, who was surrounded by Qin Yue and Naren Tuoya and others, took off the jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it over.

"This ......"

Xiuniang was already stunned by the scene in front of her, and thought that Liu Zhifu would just leave and be condescending to Li Hongyu, as if she was extremely afraid of Li Hongyu, knowing that Li Hongyu's identity was not simple, so she didn't dare to pick up Li Hongyu's jade pendant.

"Xiuniang, this is a piece of Xianggong's heart, you can accept it." Seeing this, Naren Toya smiled and persuaded, with this jade pendant, the juggling class can retreat from Nanyang, which can be said to be Li Hongyu's talisman for Xiuniang and others.

"Gongzi Xie, Gongzi's great kindness and great virtue Xiuniang have nothing to repay, only to be a cow and a horse in the next life." Xiuniang didn't shirk anymore when she heard this, and knelt on the ground with the baby in her arms, her eyes were ruddy, and she choked up and said.

"Eldest sister, hurry up, it's the court that is sorry for you." Li Hongyu stretched out his hand to help Xiuniang up, then glanced at the sleeping baby in the swaddling clothes, and then put the jade pendant in his hand beside the baby.

"Eldest sister, there will be a period later." Then, Li Hongyu arched his hand to Xiuniang, and led Qin Yue and Naren Tuoya and others to leave, since Zhang Heng came, the aftermath was handed over to him to deal with.

waited for Li Hongyu and his party to leave, and Liu Zhifu, who was slapping himself, stopped his hand, because he hit very hard just now, his cheeks were already high and swollen at this time.

"Your Excellency." The servants on the side hurriedly came up to support Governor Liu, although they didn't know Li Hongyu's identity, but the person who could make Governor Liu do this must be not small, not ordinary sons of powerful people.

Seeing that Li Hongyu was leaving like this, Governor Liu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, which meant that Li Hongyu did not mean to intervene too much in today's affairs, and the matter would be dealt with by Zhang Heng, the governor, and his situation would not be so passive.

"Don't help him, let this brute kneel like this."

Seeing that there was an errand officer who went to help the fat boy kneeling there, Governor Liu hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him, and ordered with a look of chagrin that the fat boy is naturally going to suffer some hardships now.

Hearing this, the fat man who had already stood up hurriedly knelt down again, dejected, having already lost his previous arrogance, and was as honest as a quail.

Originally, he expected Governor Liu to support him, but since he saw Governor Liu kneeling in front of Li Hongyu and slapping himself, he understood that he had provoked people who should not be provoked, so now where do he dare to be arrogant.

"This old brother, I can't teach my son, I'm really sorry." Governor Liu ignored the fat boy, walked quickly to the head of the juggling class, and said with a look of shame after bowing his hand to him.

"The prefect is serious, Xiaomin, Xiaomin......" The master of the juggling class was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly returned the salute, and he didn't know what to say for a while, did he want him to admit that it was Xiuniang's fault?

"Brother, don't worry, this official will definitely give you justice."

Governor Liu stretched out his hand and patted the back of the hand of the juggling class leader, then gritted his teeth, stretched out his finger and pointed at the fat boy and several other boys, and said loudly to the surrounding officers, "Go, put these guys who bully men and women in prison for this official." ”

The servants couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, no one moved, everyone knew that Governor Liu doted on the eldest son very much, so no one dared to touch the fat son.

"What are you still stunned about, do you want to disobey?" Seeing this, Governor Liu's face sank, and he yelled at those errand officers, it is right that he dotes on the fat boy, but now he himself is unable to protect himself, where can he take care of the fat boy, if something happens to him, the whole family will be over.

Hearing this, the servants no longer hesitated, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the fat boy and the others and walked out, preparing to throw them into prison.

"Dad, you save me, help me." The fat boy was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly begged, he didn't want to stay in those dark, damp, dirty, and smelly cells.

Governor Liu's eyes flashed with a look of helplessness, he definitely didn't want the fat boy to suffer in prison, but now that the situation is urgent, he has no choice, the fat boy provokes no one to offend Li Hongyu, it is good enough to leave a small life.

"Who is that son, who can make the prefect so afraid?"

"The wicked have their own evil retribution, now it's okay, the eldest son will be retributed."

"Look, the prefect's face is bleeding, what a lot of strength!"

"That son is really good, if he can become our parent official, then our life will be better."

"Did you hear it just now, it seems that Scholar Li is here."

"No wonder I didn't know that Lord Fu would be like this, it turned out that I was afraid of Scholar Li!"

……

The people at the scene were talking about it, and at this moment, no one would have thought that the handsome boy they admired was the Li scholar of the imperial court.

Nanyang City, outside the city.

"Zhang Heng, the governor of Henan, meet the young master."

Li Hongyu's motorcade was stopped by Zhang Heng, who was already waiting outside the city, Zhang Heng stepped forward and bowed down to salute Li Hongyu, who was getting off the bus, he knew that Li Hongyu would definitely not stay in the city anymore, so he waited here.

"Governor Zhang, the matter of Nanyang will be handed over to you." Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Heng, "The official is in a hurry to return to his hometown, so he won't stay here for a long time, and Governor Zhang will definitely come to drink a glass of wine when the official gets married." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Zhang Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, it was not easy to get Li Hongyu's personal invitation, and then asked in a deep voice, "I don't know how to deal with the affairs of Nanyang, please show Master Young Fu." ”

"Just follow the law." Li Hongyu said in an orderly manner when he heard this, since he wanted to sell Zhang Heng's favor, he would definitely not be involved in this case too much, anyway, Zhang Heng would definitely not let go of the fat boy and others easily.

"Xia Guan understands." Zhang Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then bowed to Li Hongyu and said, "Congratulations to Master Young Master." ”

Li Hongyu immediately got into the car, and the convoy of the group drove towards Xiangyang Mansion under Zhang Heng's eyes, and the incident in Nanyang finally came to an end.

However, Li Hongyu would never have thought that his fate with Xiuniang's family had just begun.
