"Master, what's wrong with you?" Li Qi saw that Xiao Quai's expression was wrong, and he wondered.

"I'm going to Chang'an." Xiao Qu came back to his senses, glanced at Li Qi, and then leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Your father and Li Jingzhong are here, you can help me ask why they came here suddenly." ”

Every winter, Li Longji took Yang Guifei and some close civil and military officials to the Huaqing Palace to soak in the hot springs for more than two months.

However, Li Heng also knew that Li Longji was very wary of him, and Li Linfu had always refused to let him go, the aftermath of Wei Jian's case a few years ago was still unresolved, and now there are still many people who have been greatly affected by Li Linfu, making the prison overcrowded. Therefore, Li Heng is also interested, and after coming to Huaqing Palace, he stayed in his dormitory honestly, and rarely went out unless he was called.

Li Qi's leg was broken, and Li Heng could only visit once the next day, and the sudden appearance at this time made Xiao Qubing feel quite wrong.

Li Qi felt that it was a good thing that Daddy came, why didn't the master stay and talk to Daddy more, and asked Daddy why he came here with a solemn face. Isn't it just a coincidence?

"Why?"

"Do as I say." Xiao Quzhi said with a serious face: "I'll tell you the reason tomorrow." ”

"Oh......"

Xiao Quzhi smiled and nodded, put away the things he brought, and walked out with them in his hands. Sure enough, when I came out of the second courtyard, I saw four people walking towards me, and the one in front was wearing a golden crown and a red yellow dragon robe.

Li Heng is just forty years old this year, which is the age of prime and strength, but Li Heng in front of him feels much older than Li Longji. His sideburns were all white, half of his hair had fallen out, and his face was pale and haggard, looking worried and tired, and he had been ill for a long time.

Beside him was a disgusting eunuch who was extremely ugly, holding a rosary in his hand and looking compassionate with his eyelids lowered. It was Li Heng's henchman eunuch Li Jingzhong, who also killed Li Qi in the time and space before Xiao Qu's illness, forced Li Longji and Gao Lishi to death, and the famous Li Fuguo, the first eunuch prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Quzhi resisted the urge to vomit and beat him, and waited on the side of the road very respectfully, waiting for Li Heng to approach before bowing and saluting: "Chen Xiao is sick to see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Heng also saw Xiao Qu sick from a distance, and Li Jingzhong next to him introduced him, and he also knew that the heroic young man Lang Jun in front of him was Xiao Quai, the first celebrity in front of the emperor recently. But he obviously didn't expect Xiao Quzhi to stand on the side of the road so respectfully and wait, and then salute so formally.

Slightly stunned, he nodded: "Hurry up and excuse me." ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is about to go to Chang'an, so I will leave first." Xiao Quai's face was still very respectful.

The first meeting between the two passed peacefully, and Li Heng's feeling at this moment was undoubtedly somewhat pleasant. He considered himself very lucky that his third son had met a very good teacher. Xiao Quzhi is so popular now, with this relationship, coupled with Xiao Quzhi's respect for himself, Li Linfu has another strong reinforcement when he persecutes himself again.

However, if he knew that this ordinary meeting could no longer be ordinary, and he would be used again to set off an uproar that hit him and Xiao Quai, I am afraid he would not think like this.

Chang'an City, Pingkangfang, is a gathering place of Qinlou Chu Pavilion, the first red light district in China, and at the same time a residential area for high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and it is the most lively place in Chang'an City at any time.

The time was about six o'clock in the afternoon, outside a courtyard in Pingkangfang, at this moment, there were many people on the third floor and the outer three floors, and a proud and arrogant voice came from the courtyard:

"Wang Qian, even you dare to bully me, ask your grandmother to come out and make fish for me with your own hands!"

A brocade-clad and evil-looking gentleman was sitting in the middle of the courtyard at the moment, and behind him was a group of evil young men and house slaves who were also imposing.

Opposite them was a young man in his twenties, also richly dressed and wearing a jade crown, with four or five domestic servants behind him. Compared with the arrogance of the evil young house slaves opposite, they seemed extremely humble and cowardly, because they were all kneeling on the ground at this moment.

The gorgeously dressed young man named Wang Qian looked terrified: "My mother has already become a Taoist priest and is cultivating, how can she still do this kind of thing after fasting for two years?" ”

The slingshot in the hand of the gorgeous man struck it, and the marble made of stone knocked off the opponent's jade crown, and it fell to the ground with a bang and cracked, and the man's hair was scattered all at once.

"Dare to talk back! What you did before can't be done now? I still like to eat the fish trays she makes, and it's really weird that I haven't eaten it for two years. Let me tell you the truth, Ye is very unhappy now, very unhappy, don't make Ye angry. You're not going, are you? The master personally went to pull her out of the back hall, and she personally greeted her at the door when the master came here before, what? Do you still have a temper when you become a Taoist priest? ”

The slingshot in his hand stood up and angrily led a group of followers to the back hall. Wang Qian, who was kneeling on the ground with a cloak and a disheveled head, hurriedly got up, and reached out to pull the man holding the slingshot, who was already in a pleading tone: "Thirteen Lang, my mother has become a Taoist priest, please don't disturb her cultivation for the sake of His Majesty's eldest princess (Li Longji's eldest daughter)!" Shall I let Uchiko do it for you? ”

Hearing Wang Qian's pleading, some people who didn't know the inside story of the crowd outside the courtyard immediately burst into exclamations.

"It's actually the ...... of His Majesty's eldest princess"

"Who is this man? The eldest princess who dared to insult His Majesty like this, isn't she afraid of His Majesty's wrath? ”

"How can there be such a person, it's so lawless!"

Then immediately, the neighbors who were familiar with the inside story explained to everyone in a whisper: "The name of this Lang Jun who was knocked off the jade crown and his hair was Wang Qian, and his mother was His Majesty's eldest daughter, Princess Yongmu, and his father was his father, the prince of Lang Yeyi. Although the husband and wife are royal relatives, they are both honest people, never cause trouble, but they are good and bullied, and for several years, their family has been bullied by the man with the slingshot.

That thirteen lang is called Wang Zhun, many people may not know who he is, but when it comes to his father, everyone knows it, it is Jingzhao Yin Yushi Dafu, the first celebrity of His Majesty today (this title was robbed by Xiao Quai's bird during this time) Wang Jie. ”

Hearing this, the people who didn't know the inside story before were frightened and took a deep breath at the moment, who wouldn't know Wang Jie, almost all the people here are under his own control, and the people in the entire Chang'an can't know who the emperor is, and they can't know who Wang Ji is!

The man explained even harder: "Before, every time Wang Zhun passed by Pingkangfang, he would bully Wang Xuan and his wife, hit Wang Xuan's hair crown with a slingshot, and let the princess cut fish for him with her own hands.

Two years ago, Wang Miao suddenly fell ill and died, perhaps in order to avoid Wang Zhun's bullying, Princess Yongmu therefore asked His Majesty to become a Taoist priest, so the two courtyards behind the house were converted into Taoist temples. In this way, Wang Zhun is not easy to persecute too much, every time he comes to Wang's house in the past two years, he only makes noise in the front yard, but he no longer harasses the princess, I don't know why this time he suddenly did this, deliberately looking for trouble? ”

While this side is explaining, the arguing and arguing over there continues.

The slingshot in Wang Zhun's hand was drawn on Wang Qian's hand, and it was immediately a blood mark, maybe he felt that the emperor's eldest princess was really not too troublesome, maybe it was some other reason He stopped, and said with a lewd look with a silver evil light in his eyes: "Who wants the one in your family to ask your brother-in-law Li to come and cut fish for the master to drink with the master." ”

Wang Qian has a half-brother named Wang Xun, and his wife is the third daughter of Li Xiancheng, the king of Ji, who is a county lord. Seeing Wang Zhun's expression, he came to find fault with anger today, how could Wang Qian not know that it would be okay if he called his brother-in-law out.

Wang Qian couldn't care about the severe pain in his hands, and said with a flattering face: "My younger brother is not at home at the moment, and it is inconvenient for my brother-in-law to come out. Which of the neighbors in the neighborhood doesn't know? ”

Wang Zhun is still unrelenting, he is very unhappy today, and the Wang family is his punching bag. Thinking that Li Longji's eldest daughter personally cooked for herself in the past, this kind of bullying people, especially those who bullied the emperor's family, felt really cool. But isn't it, even Li Longji may not have enjoyed such treatment.

Now that Princess Yongmu has become a Taoist priest, she is not very easy to bully for the time being, so it is better to retreat and bully the county lord next. Wang Qian's wife is nothing, she is just the wife of an official eunuch, how can she have any sense of accomplishment when she is bullied! If you want to bully, you will bully the people of the emperor's family, who told Gao Lishi's subordinates just now to make themselves deflated, who told the Wang family to be so close!

Wang Zhun hit Wang Qian's other hand with a slingshot again, and there was another red mark: "I said Wang Qian, don't be embarrassed, it's not as simple as drinking with your master if you make your grandfather angry, what's wrong with Lao Tzu going to eat the fish made by the surnamed Li?" ”

The crowd outside the courtyard let out an exclamation again, didn't the surname Li in his mouth refer to the emperor's family? Such a bullying of the royal family, such lawlessness makes many people outside dare not imagine. Some literati were angry at that time, and they wanted to rush in and have a good reason with him, but when they thought of Wang Jie's power, all of them dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing that Wang Zhun was so unrelenting, Princess Yongmu, who had been hiding in the backyard, had to come out at this time. She is already in her forties, and Wang Zhun, the eldest princess of His Majesty, still doesn't dare to do anything to him. If the little daughter-in-law goes out, she is not yet twenty years old, young and beautiful, and she is a county lord, maybe Wang Zhun will dare to do something, and the little daughter-in-law will have to suffer.

At the beginning, he chose to become a Taoist priest in order to escape the humiliation of Wang Zhun, but he didn't expect to be pure for two years, and in the end he still couldn't escape being humiliated by him. As soon as she thought of this, Princess Yongmu felt sad and indignant, maybe she died, and she didn't need to suffer such a shame again.

Just when Princess Yongmu made up her mind to prepare to cut fish for Wang Zhun again with her own hands, Xiao Qubing and his party also rode to the outside of the courtyard.

The restaurant that Xiao Quzhi opened in Pingkangfang is on the same street as Princess Yongmu's Mansion, less than 300 steps away diagonally, not strictly speaking, it can almost be regarded as a neighborhood. Princess Yongmu's Mansion is the only way for Xiao Qu to go to his own restaurant, and it is also curious, when he saw so many people when he passed here, Xiao Qu was sick and deliberately listened to it.

The information is very complicated, I only know that it is Wang Jie's son who is bullying people, and he is also bullying the princess's family. But the specific ins and outs are still unclear, and I saw two little eunuchs not far away looking over here, they were all sent by Gao Lishi to help him. Xiao Qu beckoned, and a little eunuch ran over.

Then Xiao Quzhi asked him if he knew what was going on inside, but he didn't expect that the little eunuch really knew it clearly, and it seemed to be related to him. Roughly like this: because Xiao Quai's restaurant was ready to open in two days, Xiao Quai's restaurant asked the chef of the restaurant to practice all kinds of stir-fried dishes every day, and deliberately opened half of the window to let out the aroma of stir-fried dishes, so as to attract customers.

Because the restaurant is not open, the finished products of the stir-fry are not sold for the time being, and sometimes they will be asked to invite some people to try for free at will, and then let them do publicity; Sometimes it will be sent to the Qinglou in Pingkangfang, because this is the gathering place of the Qinglou, it is legal and very fashionable and elegant for officials and students of the Tang Dynasty to visit the Qinglou (if you don't go around, you will be looked down upon, saying that it is from the countryside), and the aroma of sending the dishes to the Qinglou can naturally attract the attention of a large number of rich people, and it is also considered an advertisement, anyway, the fried dishes can't be thrown away.

I don't know if Wang Zhun met it in the Qinglou, or smelled it under the restaurant, in short, the fragrance immediately aroused his gluttony, so he came to the restaurant with a group of evil boys to eat. When he was told that the restaurant had not yet opened and was not accepted, he relied on his father to break in. Unexpectedly, it was kicked to the iron plate, the restaurant was opened by Xiao Quai, and there were several apprentices and grandchildren of Gaolishi in it. As soon as the little eunuchs lifted Gao Lishi out, they immediately drove Wang Zhun away, and in Wang Zhun's opinion, he was deflated.

Then Wang Zhun, who was deflated, was angry and had nowhere to release, and he saw Princess Yongmu's house in a glance, so he rushed into the courtyard to bully people with nothing to do.

"So we're the eldest princess? Liuyun, what do you say we should do? After asking about the situation, Xiao Quzhi smiled bitterly, Li Longji, you are really evil, you don't think about the government appointing traitors and ministers, but in the end you let these traitors and ministers and their sons and daughters and slaves bully your sons and daughters.

Liuyun smiled evilly, looking very happy: "Brother Xiao Dao, you know me, I'm not a troublemaker, I don't know what kind of temper you have, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it!" ”

"You're right, Lao Tzu is General Jin Wuwei, and Lao Tzu is in charge of this matter." Xiao Quzhi also smiled, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu had sharpened his sword for ten years, and he was full of chivalry, just waiting to encounter injustice!
