Chapter 18: Surname Li, Surname Xi (II)

Make up for the 1,000-word debt from the previous chapter, and add 557 monthly passes.

Looking forward to 577!

The name Li Xi is not loud in Chang'an City at the moment, but it is definitely not an unknown passerby.

Not to mention anything else, almost everyone in the streets and alleys knows about Li Xi's deeds in Jiannan Road, but if it's just these, Wang Shuyan doesn't care, what really makes him remember is actually a popular saying in the circle of sons and brothers in Chang'an City afterwards: The reason why Zhao Fengling of the Zhao family brought back to Chang'an was directly sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and even the concubine in the palace was difficult to save her face, and it was actually from this Li Xi's handwriting!

Although everyone in the circle had their own spread before, in fact, most people didn't believe it very much, just imagine, Li Xi is just a small nine-grade official, how could he have such courage to dare to kill Zhao Fengling directly?

But a few days ago, the steward Cheng was finally fished out of the prison by the Zhao family with all their might, and everyone learned from him that they were indeed planted in the hands of that little Li Xi, the master of the Jiupin book!

So then, all the news about him seemed to suddenly become sensitive.

What a fierce person this is, he is in the ninth grade, but he dares to directly attack Zhao Fengling and Steward Cheng, and he actually happens to pinch the shortcomings of the two, this attack is actually one death and one pass!

Even Concubine Li and the prince in the palace can't save it!

Even his own father even mentioned Li Xi's name several times at home, which shows how much shock he, a small official in Jiannan Province, thousands of miles away, brought to the capital Chang'an.

Therefore, when he heard this Luo Kedi directly tell himself that their master was Li Xi, who was as strong as Wang Shuyan, he couldn't help but feel abrupt in his heart.

At this time, he couldn't help frowning, if he wanted to say that Qiao Naihe, that bastard thing, didn't find out the details of this Jiannan Burning Spring in advance, or that he didn't know that this shop was actually opened by Li Xi, it was really a death that he wouldn't believe it. But when I told myself, the guy only said that this shop was a liquor store from Jiannan Road!

It's really damn that you don't report it like this!

In addition to the indignation in his heart, he frowned, and turned his head as if inadvertently to glance at the crowd behind him.

In the crowd, Butler Cheng coughed out of his mouth, and then looked at the things in the store absently.

Hearing this cough, Wang Shuyan suddenly felt distracted.

Then he thought about it, and his eyes immediately sharpened again.

Who are you? As the son of Wang Qiu, who is a dignified right-hand rider, and now he is also a seven-rank official, and he is a student of the country, is it possible that he will be afraid of a small sesame official thousands of miles away?

Besides, according to Steward Cheng, it seems that the news from Zhongshu Province that Li Xi has been transferred to Chang'an after being dismissed, and he must clean up this person in Chang'an. And now that he happened to hit his shop, wouldn't it be equivalent to charging for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

In this way, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not look down on himself?

Thinking of this, he couldn't take care of other things for the time being, he suddenly picked the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly, pushed away the Luo Kedi in front of him, snorted disdainfully, and said loudly: "Private? Does this son lack your money? You dare to sell fake wine to Ben Gongzi, that Ben Gongzi is going to smash your shop, no discussion! ”

Then he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Do it, smash!" ”

In the crowd, Steward Cheng smiled faintly.

However, just before Luo Kedi said those words, Li Xi had already beckoned to Gengxin, called him over, and whispered in his ear: "Did you see that person in the crowd?" Yes, it's the one who coughs, you immediately quietly greet the two of you, squeeze into the crowd, find an excuse, and beat him! ”

Geng Xin was dumbfounded, with a strange expression on his chubby face, and asked, "Beat him?" ”

Li Xi nodded, "Beat it hard!" Make it as loud as possible! ”

Seeing that a smashing was inevitable, Luo Kedi had no choice but to look at Li Xi and Li Yifeng, who were watching the excitement on the side, but at this moment, before the few tiger-backed family members picked up the guys, everyone suddenly heard someone in the crowd let out a loud "oops".

Wang Shuyan heard this voice familiarly, and quickly turned his head.

This movement also attracted the attention of most of the people at the scene, and even the Wang family members who were about to smash the store also turned their heads to look over.

But seeing the painful look on the face of the housekeeper in the crowd, a subordinate dressed as a housekeeper next to him was pulling his shirt by himself, and shouted and scolded: "You fucking ate the courage of an ambitious leopard, dare to steal the uncle's money!" ”

The steward Cheng suddenly took a punch, and in addition to the severe pain, he was also surprised inexplicably, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the basin that suddenly buckled his head. Rao is he has always been self-calculated, except for the time when Jiannan Dao was planted in Li Xi's hands, he almost had no last resort, but he never thought that one day someone would use this kind of indiscriminate trick on his head.

He was stunned and his eyes widened, "Which one stole your money, you don't spew blood!" ”

"Bloody mouth squirting people, does uncle need to spray you? Uncle said you stole it, you just stole it! As he spoke, the Gengxin kicked over again, and when everyone saw that someone was fighting, they just happened to make an uproar and suddenly vacate a vacant space, so the unsuspecting steward Cheng just kicked a long way away.

In other words, this Gengxin is a kind of learner, and this tone is almost the same as what Wang Shuyan said when he came in to smash the store just now, so as soon as he said this, many people at the scene laughed knowingly.

Wang Shuyan's face turned white when he heard this, he didn't say this, he also knew that the steward would never steal people's money and things, obviously, I don't know which idea it was, it seems that the intention is to use an emergency to disrupt the scene.

However, how did this person know that if he grabbed the housekeeper, he grabbed his sore feet?

There was no time to think about these at the moment, he hurriedly stepped over, grabbed Geng Xin, who was still about to continue to do it, and shouted: "Presumptuous, what kind of person are you, you dare to beat people easily!" How did he steal your money? ”

That Gengxin stopped him, knowing the identity of the other party, he couldn't help but be scared for a while, but thinking of Li Xi's advice just now, he still raised his eyebrows, and raised his neck and said: "He just stole my money, what makes sense about this!" ”

Then taking advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention to Li Xi, he said again: "Do you all have to casually mention half a jar of wine and say that people sell fake wine, and if you smash the store, you will smash the store, and you won't allow me to catch the thief?" ”

"You ......" Wang Shuyan suddenly choked him speechless.

Hearing his words at this time, everyone at the scene immediately laughed again, looking back, no!

casually brought half a jar of wine to the door, but he had to say that it was sold to him, and said that it was fake wine, and people said that it was not his own wine, and he couldn't help but say that he smashed the wine jar first, and then he had to smash the store, but it didn't make sense at all.

In such a comparison, even the onlookers could see the meaning of this thief.

Of course, everyone doesn't know that he is Li Xi's servant, and he should be a passer-by who has seen an uneven road, you know, the people of the Tang Dynasty worship the most is the first-class chivalrous man who travels far away with a sword, so at the moment, although he is not good-looking, he dares to shout at the son of the dignified right-hand horse who is always serving the Wang family, and he doesn't leave any face for the other party, and almost exposes the shortcomings of the other party's matter with one kick. ”

"Good man!"

At this time, when Geng Xin and Wang Shuyan were talking, there was already the Wang Fu family who was picky and picked up the steward Cheng in the past. After standing up, Steward Cheng just glanced at Geng Xin, and then turned his gaze to Li Xi, who was smiling in the middle of the crowd at this time.

At this moment, Li Xi raised his hand at him, gave him a thumbs up, and smiled mockingly, but this time he immediately made Cheng Steward so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

Good guy, when he was in Shuzhou, he had already eaten him and beaten him violently, I thought that this time I came to smash his shop, and I could take a small breath first, but I never thought that I would let him beat him again!

Although the punch and kick this time can't be compared to the last one, ...... This is Chang'an, my own territory, I originally came to look for others' bad luck, this is simply a great shame!

He is the steward of the prince's mansion, he has been in the prince's mansion for so many years, and everyone is respectful everywhere he goes, although because he smashed the errand of Jiannan Road, His Royal Highness the prince has already expelled himself from the palace in order to cover up his majesty, but in fact, everyone knows behind his back that he is still a very important figure in front of the prince, so among the sons and brothers in Chang'an City, he can still speak on behalf of the prince, and this status has not been weakened in the slightest.

In terms of his own identity, the matter of being beaten has almost never been considered before, even if he fights with others, the big deal is that he fights with his own hearts, and the great thing is that people participate in a fight, but he has always been drinking tea and watching the bleeding on the sidelines, but in the past month, he has been beaten twice in a row!

Last time, it was better, after all, he was out of the house, and he suffered a little loss in Jiannan Road, and no one had ever seen it, the only one he had seen, Zhao Fengling, who was beaten with him, was about to be beheaded, but this time, it was in full view, especially Wang Shuyan, the son of Wang Qiu, who was a regular attendant on the right side...... At this time, where is there anything calm and calm, where can I afford to put forward any foresight, Cheng Steward just feels that if he doesn't find this grievance today, he will have no face to walk in Chang'an City from now on!

At that moment, he didn't have time to slap the dirt on his body when he stood up, so he shook off the family, just looked at Li Xi with blazing eyes, and said, "Master Li, since you have already taken a photo, don't hide it, stand up!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was shocked.

Li Xi smiled and walked out of the crowd, walked to the center of the store, first looked the Cheng housekeeper up and down, and then shook his head and said with a smile: "Cheng housekeeper, I don't think you can be, just rely on your friendship with me, you are down, come to me directly, why can't you give you some living expenses?" How can you start such a business! Shame, shame! ”

Hearing this, the steward snorted coldly and said, "Li Xi, you can't ignore your tongue skills, let's smash your shop today!" ”

Li Xi smiled when he heard this, but he looked indifferent, and said disdainfully: "Smash the store? I'm afraid you won't be able to smash it! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to the crowd at the scene and arched his hand, and said: "Everything in the field, you all see it in your eyes, these people are greedy for the good business of Jiannan Burning Spring Shop, so they provoke for no reason, and insist on smashing the store if they can't make sense, under the rule of Tang Yanjing, how can there be such a thing without a king's law?" I can't say it, Li Xi has to be bold! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and arched his hand at Wang Shuyan, and said: "Wang Gongzi is invited, under the surname Li, the name Xi, Jiannan Dao Shuzhou Ren, I must have heard my name, today if everyone is good to say that it is good to disperse, if you have to be unreasonable to smash this store, you can't say that you will be offended." With a reason, you are the son of the right scattered cavalry Chang Shi Wang, there is no reason, I don't know who you are! ”

Hearing his words, the scene immediately applauded.

In other words, the Tang Dynasty has always been open to civil affairs, and everyone knows that the powerful can't be provoked, but if someone dares to provoke, everyone will still applaud in unison, which is just like Gengxin's words just now that he stalked his neck and caused a lot of color. What's more, at the moment, Li Xi is speaking reasonably, and everyone naturally has no reason not to applaud.

Of course, when the name Li Xi is mentioned, everyone is more or less familiar, after all, Li Yifeng's efforts to make Li Xi famous in Chang'an City a few days ago were not in vain, so that after everyone gradually associated the legendary famous man Li Xi with the Li Xi in front of him, who was not afraid of generosity and heroism, this was not just applause.

At that moment, there was a humane: "This is the famous man of Jiannan Dao, Mr. Li Xi and Li Ziyue?" ”

"No, look at how young you are, look at other people's style, look at other people's demeanor! It doesn't matter if you are a regular attendant on the right or a cavalry on the left, you have a reason, you are a regular attendant on the right, you are not a fart if you are unreasonable! ”

"yes, that's a good curse!"

Listening to the discussion in the crowd, Wang Shuyan, who had just recovered from the shock of "Li Xi was originally at the scene", couldn't help but turn his head to look at everyone, and the anger in his eyes was obvious. Helplessly, everyone in the crowd is talking about it, and there is really some pressure on the people's back, besides, not to mention that people are just commenting on the wind on the sidelines, there is nothing wrong with it, it is wrong, and the law does not blame the public, right?

Therefore, although Wang Shuyan was annoyed, he was really helpless to take this group of idlers who watched the excitement. And the most important thing is that as Li Xi's words landed, he was suddenly pushed into a dilemma.

If you continue to smash the store now, it will be a head-on conflict with Li Xi, with Cheng as a housekeeper, especially with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind him, he is not afraid of this Li Xi, but the problem is ...... Li Xi, this kid, dared to beat even Cheng as a housekeeper, and he didn't give any face to His Royal Highness the Prince, and almost killed Zhao Fengling directly!

Compared with His Royal Highness the Prince, the right scattered cavalry attendant on his father's top is naturally far away, I'm afraid it won't be able to control him, now he is in front of him, if he insists on smashing the store, he is a tough one, he has to fight against himself, if he is allowed to beat him at that time, what should I do?

With the example of becoming a housekeeper before and after, he is not afraid of anything else, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will clean up when things get up, if it doesn't work again, his own father won't watch his son suffer, right? He was just afraid that if Li Xi, a tough guy, beat himself up first in anger, it would hurt him, and no one could replace him!

Thinking of this, he remembered a half-grown child named "Ah Zao" in the mouth of the steward Cheng, it is said that although the kid is young, he is extremely ruthless, and it seems that he has kung fu on his body, just one punch can make people hurt to death, but he can't even speak, but I don't know if he is there today...... At this moment, Li Xi saw that Wang Shuyan's face was struggling, and he knew that he might not be willing to come out and smash his own shop, and from his own heart, of course, he was not willing to offend Wang Qiu's right-hand rider for no reason, so he thought about it at the moment, and said to Wang Shuyan: "Wang Gongzi, it hurts the harmony when everyone makes a fuss, it's better like this, since you said that fake wine is sold in this shop, then you and I just talk in court, how about it?" ”

When he said this, he gave Wang Shuyan a step, so that the other party can be regarded as having a way out, as for whether people will sue or not after that, whether the two sides still have to deal with Bo Gongtang, it depends on how far everyone communicates in private.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Steward Cheng suddenly coughed.

As soon as he coughed, Wang Shuyan's face suddenly flashed with fierceness, only to hear him grit his teeth and say: "No need, I will smash this store today!" ”

Hearing this, Qiao Naihe, who was hiding in the middle of the crowd, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although I didn't dare in person, I couldn't help but slander at this time: If you want to smash it, smash it, where is there so much nonsense, and after a while, the people from the Municipal Tax Department will come, and it's not so easy to smash if you want to. Although it is also a good idea to sue Bo Gongtang for him, where is the refreshment of smashing the store directly? It's a lot more powerful!

On the side of the city tax department, it is best to leave them to come and clean up the mess, and use their mouths to render things out. Besides, it's not bad to go to court against Bo Gong after smashing it!

At this time, he was just a little proud, but suddenly heard someone outside shouting loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”

Suddenly, he was nervous in his heart, thinking that someone from the Municipal Tax Department had already rushed over? That's too fast, right?

With doubts, he turned around, and where the crowd parted, he suddenly saw several unexpected faces walking over, and suddenly, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, thinking: I'm afraid it's not good now!

Who would have thought that it was the most critical time that this Li Xi would come to the rescue!
