"Isn't it? So light! Oh, this is a silver ticket of five hundred taels, and from tomorrow I will also go to Yangzhou City to spread the news that this Wang steward peeked at the widow next door taking a bath. If it weren't for the fact that I was a little tight recently, I would have directly paid for Steward Wang. Seeing that Master Qin hadn't answered yet, Li Tianyu couldn't wait to shout.

"It's all up to the adults." Although Master Qin also felt that this sentence was a bit light, he didn't dare to offend the adult in front of him after all, so he had to pretend to be convinced and said.

"Can I be sentenced to 50 strokes of the cane?"

"Don't give private rewards to public discussions, and don't lynch to violate the laws of the country. If it is handed over to Li Gongzi for execution, it is equivalent to lynching. ”

"Well, don't read poetry, listen to the straight people have a headache. Then it's up to you, my lord. Li Tianyu sighed with some disappointment.

"You two, take this steward back to the government to execute the execution." Du Ruhui ordered the two officials who had been guarding the side.

"Yes, sir!" After that, the two officials took the depressed Steward Wang and left.

"Li Gongzi, you really opened the old man's eyes today. To tell you the truth, you are the second junior so far to let the old man take a straight look. After Lord Du saw that his officials had completely left, he immediately praised Li Tianyu.

"Oh, is it? It is a great honor to be so heavenly. Li Tianyu said politely.

"Why didn't Li Gongzi ask who the first person was?"

"What's there to ask about this, if you had met me earlier, maybe who would have been the first." Li Tianyu said angrily. What if you are the first, is it possible to give Lao Tzu a bonus of several million taels?

"Really? That first place is the Holy One today. Master Du said with a smile.

"Nani? You, you actually call the Holy One a junior. No, I have to write it down, and when I see the saint when I come back, I must report it truthfully. Oh, by the way, I'll take back what I just said. ”

"What about juniors? In the past, Gaozu led the troops in Taiyuan, and Weichen also followed, and later if it wasn't for the tens of thousands of elite soldiers rewarded by Gaozu for the old man, how could the old man assist the saint today. Although the saint was still young in the past, this strategy and insight were far superior to those of his brothers, so it was not impossible to say that he was better than Gao Zu and his old man. Master Du seemed to recall the eventful years of the past, and sighed with emotion on his face.

"Master Du, you really think that the sword is not old, you are old and strong, you are strong, and you have already won." Li Tianyu saw that Du Ruhui was talking about the old royal affairs as if he was drinking tea and chatting, and he couldn't help but succumb to flattery. It's noisy, it seems that this old guy is really an old seniority, but if he dares to make such remarks in the imperial city, he may be deposed with the title of "meritorious master" and he won't even receive a pension.

After listening to Li Tianyu's sycophants, Du Ruhui couldn't help laughing, and then said with a straight face: "That's it." Today's things are also negligent, even so, in order to make up for the fact that Master Qin was detained for a few hours for no reason, the old man also invited Master Qin to go to the Jinling Poetry Association to appreciate it. At that time, Master Qin only needs to report the name of the old man. ”

"In this way, Qin deeply feels the kindness of the adult." Old Master Qin bowed to Lord Du and thanked him.

Li Tianyu was a little disdainful when he saw this, what kind of compensation was it, it was nothing more than borrowing flowers to offer Buddha and using power for personal gain. If you really want to compensate, it would be more realistic to come with a few hundred thousand taels of silver.

In fact, what Li Tianyu didn't know was that the ancient imperial court had always emphasized literature over martial arts, and respected the basics and suppressed the last. In order to pursue profits, businessmen will inevitably make some tricks that go against the way of a gentleman. In this way, Confucianism, as the orthodoxy of the ruling class, naturally wants to despise and even reject those merchants who make their fortunes on ill-gotten gains. Although the Zhenguan Datang is no longer ruthless against businessmen not wearing silk, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to really let business people attend the cultural feast of the academic community.

"Lord Du, you see that the kid is busy with this matter, can you also bring dozens of people over to report your name?" Although Li Tianyu was a little disdainful, he still didn't forget to ask with such a cheeky face.

"Hehe, as long as Li Gongzi is willing, please do it, but please forgive the old man for not being able to help." Master Du stroked his beard and smiled incomprehensibly.

After that, Du Ruhui ordered someone to find a pen and paper, and personally wrote a letterhead similar to a letter of introduction, along with the one hundred taels of silver ingots, and handed it to Master Qin.

Master Qin originally wanted to excuse himself, but Li Tianyu took it and said, "Master Qin, since this is Lord Du's heart, how can you turn it away?" Give it to you. In this case, I will keep it for you, and then return it to you when I get off the ship, so as not to accidentally fall into the boat and make a hole. ”

Li Gongzi laughed. Today's incident is still thanks to Li Gongzi's generosity, and Qin Mou has also thanked Gongzi here. After that, Master Qin said to Du Ruhui again, "Master Du, since the matter has come to this, then Qin will not be stranded." At present, there are still some trivial matters to be dealt with in Qin's family, and I hope that the adults will make it convenient. ”

"Master Qin, please."

So Master Qin hugged Du Ruhui and turned around and walked out of the boat, Li Tianyu saw the situation and hurriedly shouted at Du Ruhui with a fist, "I have also said goodbye, Lord Du", and before he could say anything, he turned around and walked away.

"Li Gongzi is slow! The old man still has some words to talk about with Li Gongzi. But I saw that Master Du called Li Tianyu in time to stop Li Tianyu, who was about to leave. When Master Qin heard this, he was only slightly stunned and continued to walk away, while Li Tianyu turned around and looked at Master Du with a smile and couldn't help but sigh.

Half an hour later, Li Tianyu finally walked out of the cabin with slightly heavy steps. When he was about to reach the bow of the ship, he did not forget to look back at the cabin with emotion, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief and went down to the ship without hesitation.

As soon as Li Tianyu landed ashore, he saw that it was already early, so he wondered whether to take a taxi home before the sun went down.

"Brother Tian! This way! A voice came from behind him, and Li Tianyu turned to look, but saw that Qin Yulong next to a weeping willow was waving his arm at him.

It's noisy, I said, how can they not stay and wait for me one by one. It turned out that Li Tianyu had just gotten off the boat, and he couldn't wait to look around, but to his disappointment, there was no one around, and even the carriage that had been parked next to the willow tree had long since disappeared. Just as he was thinking about taking a taxi back to his house, he heard such a shout, and followed the sound to find that Qin Yulong was greeting him.

"Jade Dragon, you are very clever, you know how to secretly hide behind trees to reconnoiter the enemy. How many of them are there? Li Tianyu walked up to Qin Yulong and praised with a smile.

"Daddy has already arranged for a few brothers and sisters to go to the Hongyan Tower, and he doesn't want the people of the official family to see that everyone has a close relationship with my Qin family, so he only arranged for me to stay here and wait for Brother Tian to come out. By the way, Brother Tian, what is the origin of that official master? Did he embarrass you and our Qin family? Qin Yulong explained to Li Tianyu, and at the same time was full of curiosity about the person on the boat. In Yangzhou, even the governor and the governor can be greater, where will it be sacred? How could they come to embarrass the Qin family?

"It's a long story. Let's talk as we go. Hongyan Tower, right? I don't think it's that far away. As for that old guy, Yulong, you just have to remember that he is an out-and-out educated old revolutionary and an old hooligan. Cherish life and stay away from the man. Li Tianyu remembered what Du Ruhui said after he finally stopped him, and couldn't help gritting his teeth. is noisy, the older generation of hooligans Zhuo Ran is a one-man man, and he can't open it. It's no wonder that Li Shimin sent Du Ruhui to come over.

It turned out that Du Ruhui shouted that Li Tianyu stayed behind, but he actually exposed his tricks in person.

Half an hour ago.

"Li Gongzi, are you very proud of today's events?"

"What Master Du said, the kid doesn't understand."

"It's all now, is Li Gongzi still ready to continue pretending to be confused? Let me ask you, the Qin family's hometown was released safely, and Steward Wang was also punished for his crime and fined fifty boards for no reason. Isn't that enough for you to be proud of? ”

"What are you talking about, Master Du? That Master Qin was originally arrested unjustly, but now fortunately, thanks to your wisdom and martial arts, Master Qin was able to settle his grievances. If it were someone else, he might have believed the slander of the king's steward, mistakenly killed the virtuous, and became infamous through the ages. Maybe in the future, everyone will make fried fritters and eat them. ”

"Humph! Then I ask you, do you dare to make another military order with the king's steward at this moment? ”

"This, how can this be? Lord Du, you are the right-hand man of the saint, how can you make such a joke with the kid with yourself? If the Holy Sect learns about it, he will surely condemn me. This must not be done. ”

"Humph! Don't think you don't know what you've played. Otherwise, do you think that the old man will be so lenient as the king's steward? Let me ask you, if the steward of the king really made that military order with you, what do you think your boy will have a chance of winning? ”

"Ten percent!"

"Ten percent? Hum! I don't think you're a kid. It's also a shame that the king's steward knows an expedient way to bend and stretch, otherwise if he goes head-on, I'm afraid your little life will be lost here today. ”

"Oh? I don't know why Master Du said this? ”

"Why? Hum! You kid don't play stupid for me. Do you think that if you have deceived the people, even I can deceive them? If it weren't for the fact that Old Man Qin really didn't show a trace of panic, the old man would definitely have implemented the name of the Qin family's smuggler of salt. ”

"Master Du is really far-sighted. The kid admires it. But how do adults know that I will definitely lose? The clothes worn by the boatmen of the Qin family are all burlap, which originally had poor water absorption, and there is a limit to the salting in the water, just like a jar of water can only melt half a spoon of salt at most, and in turn, a jar of salt water can only boil out half a spoon of salt at most. At best, the twenty boatmen of the Qin family can carry only a lot of salt water, and it is even more difficult to boil more than two catties of salt than to ascend to the sky. ”

"I see, no wonder that Master Qin is so calm. It seems that the Qin family has tried it in advance. I said why it was clear that the method of salting it in water and then boiling it came from the Qin family, but they never used it. But I don't know if today's old decay gets rid of this Wang steward, will the Qin family become restless and do whatever they want. ”

"According to what the lord said, can the kid also think that those in the court who proposed to marry the princess of the saint and the princess to make peace with Tubo are also out of their own considerations, worried that if he really goes to war, he will be sent to the battlefield by the saint?" Although Li Tianyu said this, he was inevitably shocked in his heart.

"Well, the old man doesn't argue with you about this. One day, when you stand in this position as an old man, you will understand that many things are counterproductive. Even if you have such a mind and mind, it is in vain, and it is far from enough to rely on some scheming and means after all, so that today's old decay has never been followed by your words and deeds. And the reason why the old man will not delve into it today, in addition to some unavoidable reasons, the most important thing is that he doesn't want your kid to be in the matter. To be honest, the old decay is now very sorry for a talent like you. ”

"Slow down, slow down! Master Du, don't spare your talents. To tell you the truth, in fact, there is nothing more than a class of people who are waiting to die. For a celebrity model like Lord Du, who is "high in the temple, he is worried about him, and his person, who is far away from the rivers and lakes, is worried about his king" is beyond the reach of his life. Therefore, I hope that my lord will not learn from the saint who favored me. At present, if there is nothing else to do, please forgive the boy. "Troublesome, you old guy is naturally famous for his good judgment, and who in the world can sway your judgment with his incorruptible tongue?

"Really? If Li Gongzi is really inconvenient, then please do it. As soon as Du Ruhui said this, he saw that Li Tianyu just arched his hand towards him, and turned around and left without saying a word.

"Oh, by the way, Li Gongzi was born in Yangzhou, I don't know if you have ever heard of the 'Black Wind Village'?" Du Ruhui shouted at Li Tianyu's back.

"I've never heard of it." Li Tianyu didn't turn around, but continued to walk and waved his hand.

"The answer is so simple, but he doesn't ask what 'Black Wind Village' is. Hehe......" Du Ruhui looked at Li Tianyu's departing figure and muttered to himself.

And after Li Tianyu walked out of the cabin, he found that he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Although he seemed to have succeeded in bluffing the old guy just now, he had to be impressed by the old guy's meticulous thinking and super insight. I also asked, "Why did the old guy punish Steward Wang so lightly?" Dare to love him, he had already seen through Lao Tzu's psychological warfare before. Make a fuss, cherish life, and stay away from that goods.
