Chapter 111: The Restaurant Incident (Part II)
After drinking two more glasses of wine, Hong Dazhi patted Zhou Chun's back and smiled at Li Yanqing: "I heard Wenchang say that my brother is the top of the Tangyin County test, which is a coincidence!" We also have a top spot here, dude guess who? ”
Li Yanqing rolled his eyes and glanced at the three of them, "It won't be Brother Zhou!" ”
The three of them applauded and laughed, "Guess right!" ”
Zhou Chun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My top spot is just a fluke, not as high as Brother Li Xian's youth." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Brother Zhou is too modest."
Zhou Chun shook his head, "I'm not modest, I've read the test papers of the virtuous brother, the questions of the virtuous brother are really well written, the internal audit system has strong practical significance, my grandfather is full of praise, I know the ins and outs of the pavilion pottery grain case, so I got a high score by luck." ”
Hong Dazhi said with a smile: "Don't be modest, both of you are on the list this time." ”
"What's the Exam Billboard?" Li Yanqing was about to drink, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but stop his wine glass and asked curiously.
Zhou Chun explained with a smile: "Some boring people's boring works, they compiled some of the stronger scholars this year into a list, called the Exam Billboard, this year is the first time it has appeared. ”
"I wonder who's on the list?"
"Who else?"
Feng Sa snorted coldly and said: "Most of the students on the list are students from the capital and the students of the four major academies, there are only five local scholars in Xiangzhou, and the highest ranking is Yuan Ming, the top of the list in Anyang, ranking ninth, Brother Li ranking eleventh, Wenchang ranking eighteenth, and no one in Lin Xi County is on the list." ”
Hong Dazhi said with a smile: "Brother Feng actually said so many things in one breath, and he can also be on the list in my memory." ”
Feng Sa ignored him and continued to say to Li Yanqing: "Don't underestimate this list, I heard that the three Guan Pu shops in Anyang will issue odds according to this list, and the top three in this year's release test, the three people with the highest number of remarks are all three students from Anyang, Zhao Yushu, Yang Du and Wu Bangchang." ”
"Who's mentioning my name?"
As soon as the words fell, several scholars appeared at the door, all in their early twenties, and the middle one was wearing a white brocade robe, with a jade crown on his head, his face was handsome, his arms were crossed in front of his chest, and he looked at the four people in the room with an arrogant expression.
"This person is Zhao Yushu, known as the first genius in Xiangzhou."
Li Yanqing recognized several scholars standing behind Zhao Yushu, two of whom were Wang Wenhuan and Yang Yu who he met halfway to Anyang, these two people followed Zhao Yushu like dogs, pointing at Li Yanqing and whispering something?
Li Yanqing turned around, turned his back to the door, and ignored the group of uninvited guests.
Zhou Chun was the oldest, and he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, "We are talking about the test list, not deliberately mentioning Brother Zhao's name." ”
"Really? Look at a few benevolent brothers who are very good at having fun, you can not only listen to the little songs of the smoke, but also talk about the length behind the backs of others, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, what are you talking about? Let's talk about it! ”
The four of them all realized that these students were looking for fault for what happened to the courtesans just now.
At this time, Li Yanqing said lightly: "Your Excellency, come in and say if you have anything, don't stand in the corridor and block others." ”
"Yo! I didn't notice there was a kid here. ”
Zhao Yushu deliberately pretended to be surprised, he slowly stepped forward, looked Li Yanqing up and down, turned back and asked Wang Wenhuan and Yang Yu, "Who is he, is he also here to participate in the imperial examination?" ”
Wang Wenhuan pouted, "People are the top of Tangyin County, the first reader in Tangyin County." ”
Zhao Yushu hurriedly patted his chest, "I'm scared to death, the top of Tangyin County, hearing this title, I thought that there was no one in Tangyin County, and I actually let a teenage kid be at the top of the list, woohoo!" ”
"Your Excellency seems to be at the top of the list! Hearing this title, I thought there was no one in Xiangzhou, and I actually let a mere student get to the top of the list, woohoo! ”
Li Yanqing said a-for-tat to him, Zhao Yushu's face changed, stared at Li Yanqing and said, "You'd better make it clear!" ”
Li Yanqing smiled, "I've made it clear enough, do you want me to repeat it?" ”
At this time, Zhou Chun stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Zhao, if we have anything offended, I apologize to you, but if Brother Zhao has nothing else, please go back!" ”
Zhao Yushu invited the students of several other counties as the host of the banquet today, he lost his temper, he thought that the courtesan Yan'er would come over obediently to sing the song, but Yan'er ignored him, which really made him lose face in front of everyone, and he turned to the scholars next door with a bad breath in his heart.
These scholars who came back from Taixue were originally above the top, and they looked down on the local students in Xiangzhou in their bones, if Li Yanqing lowered his voice and apologized to him, it would be just that, but he went toe-for-tat with him, and he became more and more angry in his heart.
In addition, Zhao Yushu drank a few more glasses of wine today, and under the stimulation of alcohol, he lost the reason and demeanor that a scholar should have, and the dark side that usually lurked in his heart was exposed, extremely arrogant, he pointed at Zhou Chun and scolded: "What are you, or the grandson of the first Confucian in Hebei, your grandfather didn't even teach a jinshi, and he is also worthy of being called the first Confucian in Hebei?" ”
Zhou Chun and his companions were furious and glared at Zhao Yushu angrily, "You should clean up your mouth!" ”
Li Yanqing said coldly: "I'm too student!" What kind of virtue, it really disgraces Taixue. ”
Zhao Yushu turned around, grabbed Li Yanqing's neck, and shook it in front of his eyes with his fist, "Stinky boy, don't mess with me, if you know me, quickly apologize to me, if you dare to be rude again, see how I open your nose." ”
Li Yanqing pushed his hand away and said lightly: "I see that you have drunk too much!" ”
At this time, Wang Wenhuan whispered in Zhao Yushu's ear again, Li Yanqing only heard the words 'catch the knife', he frowned, and stared at Wang Wenhuan sharply.
Zhao Yushu opened his mouth wide, deliberately pretending to be full of surprise, pointing at Li Yanqing's nose and laughing hysterically, "It turns out.... It turns out that your father's name is Li Zhudao, and this name is wonderful! I'm going to burst with laughter in my belly......"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed a fist appear in front of him, 'Bang! With a bang, Li Yanqing smashed his nose with a solid punch, Zhao Yushu screamed, his body flew backwards in the air, his back hit the wooden wall hard, his face was covered with blood, covering his nose and screaming.
Li Yanqing's backhand was another slap in the face, slapping Wang Wenhuan in the face, beating Wang Wenhuan dizzy, he covered his face, his eyes showed a trace of fear, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
The sudden change frightened everyone, Li Yanqing took out a handful of money and threw it on the table, and said to Zhou Chun and the others: "This group of bedbugs is really disappointing, let's go elsewhere!" ”
Zhou Chun and the three of them didn't expect Li Yanqing to really do it, the three of them were a little nervous, and hurriedly got up to leave the private room, they had just walked to the staircase, and there was an angry roar from behind, "Block that bastard for me, don't let him run away." ”
I saw Zhao Yushu rushing over with blood on his face, and more than a dozen companions who were drinking with him came out of the room one after another, and surrounded Li Yanqing before and after, Li Yanqing saw that the matter was going to be big, so he said to Zhou Chun and the others: "You guys go first!" I'll reason with them. ”
Zhou Chun and the others were frightened and wanted to stay with Li Yanqing, but they didn't have the courage, so they had to say sorry and left in a hurry.
Li Yanqing stood at the top of the stairs, unscrewed a wooden pillar of the staircase casually, like peeling corn, pinched the wooden pillar with a thick calf and smashed it little by little, and the sawdust fell from his hand, and the eyes of more than a dozen students showed fear, and no one dared to step forward.
Li Yanqing smiled at more than a dozen Tai students and said: "Scholars should be reasonable, I suggest that you don't fight, it's not good for you, you rely on the strong and bully, fifteen people beat me a twelve-year-old boy, the government will investigate it, not only did you fail this imperial examination, Taixue can't tolerate you, I am thinking about your future, what do you say?" ”
More than a dozen scholars nodded incessantly, feeling that Li Yanqing was reasonable, and several people quietly put down the chairs in their hands again.
Li Yanqing glanced at Zhao Yushu again, it was necessary to warn this guy and let him shut his stinky mouth.
The smile on Li Yanqing's face disappeared, staring at Zhao Yushu and said coldly: "You dare to insult my father, according to my temper, I will cut off at least one of your ears today, but I think you are a first-time offender, and you have drunk too much wine, I will spare you this time, if you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be in the stinky ditch outside the city, I Li Yanqing can do it, if you don't believe it, you can try it!" ”
After speaking, he raised his hand, and a handful of chopsticks in his hand came out one by one, 'Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Nailed to the snow-white wall, Li Yanqing clapped his hands, turned around and walked away.
Everyone looked at the chopsticks on the wall, looking at each other one by one, stunned, the chopsticks on the wall actually spelled out the word 'kill', they were a group of weak scholars, where had they seen this kind of murderous formation, Zhao Yushu was even more shocked and trembled, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
