Chapter 24: Ruthless

As soon as Li Xi shouted this, not to mention Steward Cheng and Zhao Fengling, who were waiting for Li Xi's news in the room at the moment, and Pei Jun, who was waiting there outside the door, couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't know what was going on in the room.

At this time, the little fat man Li was waiting outside the courtyard and was bored, and when he heard Li Xi's shout, he didn't even hesitate, so he walked over quickly, pushed open the door, and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong?" ”

Li Xi looked at Steward Cheng and Zhao Fengling, who looked puzzled, and didn't look at Li Zao, so he directly shouted and asked: "I heard that during the Three Kingdoms, there were two generals of Dian Wei Xu, Cao Gong called it the evil of the ancients and the tiger idiot of the present, all of them have the courage of ten thousand people, and you also have the name of a tiger idiot in this Shuzhou City, but I don't know if you can be brave?" ”

The little fat man Li Zao was a little confused when he heard this, but at the moment he saw Li Xi staring at the two people with blazing eyes, and his tone was so powerful, he immediately tasted the taste of it, and even replied in a strong voice: "Although Li Zao is young, the second brother only needs an order, but he will never disappoint his brother, no matter who he is, Li Zao will kill him for the second brother!" ”

As early as when he heard Li Xi mention what Dian Wei Xu Zhu, Steward Cheng already had some taste, and at this time, he saw that a milky kid was actually as strong as a roar, although his voice was immature, but it was also extremely majestic and mighty, he couldn't help but immediately frown and shouted: "Li Xi, you are a little master bookkeeper, how dare you be so rude to Dr. Zhongsan!" ”

Li Xi looked at him with blazing eyes, and he was not afraid of each other at this time, but he didn't pay any attention to his words, and just continued to say to Li Zao: "Okay, this is my brother, this is my Li family's tiger idiot!" Then let me ask you, someone is actually coming to snatch your sister-in-law today, and wants to insult my Li family, you say, what should I do? ”

Li Zao's eyes widened when he heard this, this time he didn't need Li Xi to tell him anything, just this sentence immediately hooked out his anger, although he and Wu Lan had never met each other, but it was his brother's woman! The Li family, how can they allow others to be so humiliated!

Immediately, he also turned his head and glared at Steward Cheng and Zhao Fengling, and said loudly: "Second brother, don't worry, Ah Zao tore them for you!" As he spoke, he stepped forward.

It's okay that this is the housekeeper, but Zhao Fengling couldn't help but shudder with fright.

Don't look at Li Zao, who looks only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and his real age is even only twelve years old, but the name of the tiger idiot is not called in vain, this person who is brave and ruthless in his bones often has a unique temperament, whether it is born or acquired, he may not be able to see it usually, but when he gets angry, this temperament will burst out, and he has never really done it, but this momentum is enough to make people faintly afraid in their hearts.

At this time, Ah Zao's eyes were round and angry, and he looked at Steward Cheng and Zhao Fengling tightly, and the bones on his body were shutting down, and the inverted end was a little bit of the momentum of Zhang Sanye on the Yang Bridge who scared Xia Houde to death.

The housekeeper Cheng was used to seeing the scene and was calm, and he was not very afraid, but that Zhao Fengling was exaggerated, and he was the most lustful and inward-looking, and when he saw Li Xi, he was actually annoyed and angry and wanted to kill someone.

But after all, he is a court official, a dignified five-grade Zhongsan doctor, and the son of the uncle of the country, the cousin of the crown prince, this time he was ordered by the prince to do things, Li Xi is as bold as a fight, and he definitely doesn't dare to do anything to himself, so he was startled by Ah Zao at the moment, and he quickly came back to his senses, and couldn't help but shout and scold: "Li Xi, you ate the ambition leopard guts, dare to scare Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will peel off your skin when you turn around!" ”

When Li Xi heard the words at this time, he couldn't help but turn his head and smile at him, and said, "I believe it, but now, I'm going to skin you first!" ”

Then Huo Ran turned around, looked at Li Zao, pointed at Zhao Fengling and said to him: "Don't kill or cripple!" ”

Steward Cheng and Zhao Fengling were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Needless to say, Zhao Fengling was a conceited and scheming housekeeper who listened to Li Xi's words, and he couldn't help but suddenly feel that his mind was blank. He couldn't even think of it, he just opened his mouth to ask Li Xi to ask for a singer, not only carried out the secret order of His Royal Highness the Prince, but even promised a great future, what else could he disagree with?

Well, even if he doesn't agree, he still dares to do it against himself and others?

Want to hit someone? Want to fight the dignified five-grade Zhongsan doctor? Uncle Guo's son? The crown prince's own cousin?

Did he eat the gall of the ambitious leopard?

Before they came back to their senses, Li Zao had already rushed over with a loud shout, don't look at him fat, once he moved at this time, the movement was fast and abnormal, only one step in front of Zhao Fengling, and then he punched out hard!

Because he was born strong since he was a child, Li Qiu forced him to study at the same time, but he still obeyed his wishes, and asked him for martial arts guidance since he was a child, and because this kid made rapid progress, the martial artist was changed almost every year!

Although those martial artists are not outstanding teachers, but Ah Zao, this kid is willing to work hard, after this ** years of hard work, he can be regarded as the leader of many families, and this hand is unambiguously tight!

At present, Zhao Fengling, who has not come back to his senses, doesn't even feel pain, but he feels that the middle fist on his stomach suddenly numbs, and then, the heart-wrenching feeling suddenly hit, and even at that moment, he felt as if he was going to die, not only in pain, but also the strength in his body seemed to be drained all of a sudden!

At this time, he didn't even have the strength to scream in pain, but his facial features were twisted, and then he squatted on the ground with both hands on his stomach!

As soon as Li Zao moved, Steward Cheng suddenly woke up, but before he could say anything, he had already seen Zhao Fengling fall silently, Rao was as calm as him, and he couldn't help but shudder suddenly!

He actually did it! He really dared to do it!

Although there was only one punch, just looking at Zhao Fengling, who fell to the ground, his body shrunk into a ball with his stomach in his arms, and he was so painful that he couldn't speak, he knew how much power this punch that this little fat man who looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old contained in it!

If such a fist falls on oneself...... How much pain must it be to be so painful that you can't speak?

Just thinking about it so simply, he couldn't help but shudder again!

Not only did he dare to do it, but he actually made a ruthless move!

At that moment, the steward Cheng couldn't help but let Li Zao's punch stop, and he couldn't speak for a long time, but looked at Zhao Fengling who fell to the ground with a surprised face and writhed and moaned silently.

It wasn't until the little fat man Li Zao turned his head and looked at him fiercely that he suddenly came back to his senses, and then quickly looked at Li Xi, but his voice trembled, and he said inwardly: "Li Xi, Master Li, the old man has to tell you, don't say anything else, it's right now at your door, but there are people we brought from Chang'an, they are all tigers in the world, don't be confused!" ”

Li Xi smiled at him, "Don't worry, I, Li Xi, am an official of the imperial court, and I won't do anything that knows the law and violates the law." You can't die! ”

Steward Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to point at Li Xi, "You...... You ......"

At this time, Li Xi didn't look at him anymore, just turned his head to look at Li Zao, and said coldly: "Just like that, you are not allowed to be killed or disabled." ”

Li Zao nodded when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at Steward Cheng, with a cold light shining in his tiger eyes.

Steward Cheng turned his head to meet his gaze, and couldn't help but shudder again, and then, when he came back to his senses, he suddenly shouted loudly at the top of his voice, "Master Pei, save ......"

Li Zao walked over with an arrow, and with another punch, he also covered his stomach and slowly fell down, and the word "life" still couldn't be shouted after all.

And at this time, in fact, Pei Jun was already standing at the door.

The scene when Steward Cheng fell silently after being punched fell squarely in his eyes.

He was stunned at the moment, and after a long time, he raised his head, and he pointed at Li Xi, "You...... You ......" and pointed to Zhao Fengling and Steward Cheng, who were twitching on the ground, because they were too excited, his voice was a little fluttering, "You know who they are, you actually ...... How dare you hit someone? ”

He didn't know whether he was surprised or angry, but he repeated: "You dare to hit them!" ”

At this time, Zhao Laoan had already heard the sound, and when he saw this scene in the room, he was also dumbfounded.

At this time, Li Xi turned around, glanced at Pei Jun lightly, and said to Zhao Laoan: "Is Old Man Li Yifeng here?" Seeing that Zhao Laoan came back to his senses and nodded, he pointed to Pei Jun, who was at the door with an angry face, and said, "Send someone to send Master Pei to Li Yifeng, and say that I will ask him to chat with Master Pei on my behalf!" ”

Then he turned his head to look at Ah Zao again, and said, "I ordered someone to bring you wine and meat, and you can eat and drink here, and show me these two swaggering guys!" ”

Ah Zao just agreed loudly when he heard this. At this time, Pei Junzheng, who dared to put himself under house arrest outside of Li Xi's words, was about to be furious, but suddenly heard Li Xi's words again, after all, he was an old oilman for many years, and he grasped Li Xi's meaning almost immediately, and then he was stunned again......

Swindling?

He actually wanted to ...... This is also true, it is unknown what kind of goods that Cheng butler is, but Zhao Fengling is the five-rank Zhongsan doctor of the imperial court, although the Zhongsan doctor is only a loose official, but a dignified five-rank court member left Chang'an and walked thousands of miles to Shuzhou, Jiannan Province, regardless of the central and various places, but he actually knows nothing...... If Li Xi has to plant a swagger and deception on them, this is really difficult to explain!

Of course, Zhao Fengling can take out the official talisman seal to prove his identity, as long as there are those things, they can immediately clear the suspicion of swagger and deception. But the question is, do they dare?

Not to mention a five-grade official like Zhao Fengling, even if it is a small county master like Li Xi, a nine-rank official, and a county and eight-grade official like himself, if he wants to leave the county on business without being summoned by the superior yamen, he must report to the county and get the approval of the superiors, and then he is allowed to leave Jinyuan County.

Don't think that this set of household A is only for the common people, it is applicable to officials, and even the investigation is more stringent! Because if the officials want to do something that is not good for the court, then they will be more powerful than ordinary people, and of course they will be more destructive. Therefore, it is natural to be more strictly guarded!

Zhao Fengling, a five-grade official, did not get the order document from his superiors and did not report to any of the Yamen, so he took people out of Chang'an without authorization, and this departure was to go straight to Jiannan Road......

Where do you put the law and order of the court? What is the intention?

If this matter is poked out, after being escorted to Yousi for strict interrogation, fines and even reprimands are trivial matters, and if you make a bad scene, you may even be dismissed and taken away directly!

Even in this kind of matter, I'm afraid that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not dare to interfere!

Don't forget, since the succession to the throne, the Ten Kings Courtyard and the Hundred Sun Courtyard have been set up in Chang'an City. What are these places for? The reason for making it public is, of course, to give everyone a beautiful house so that all relatives can live in it and enjoy themselves, but what is the real purpose? To put it bluntly, I want to put my brothers, sons, grandsons, and all other blood relatives who may threaten his throne into custody!

Even because of the two evil examples of the harem of Emperor Zetian and Empress Wei of the previous dynasty, Jinshang only made his Linzi princess the queen when he first succeeded to the throne, and since then, although the queen was deposed and died of illness later, he is no longer willing to choose a queen. There are Concubine Zhao Li in the front, Concubine Wu Hui in the back, etc., no matter how much His Majesty loves them, even to the point where they are called "the queen in the palace", they still insist on refusing to make them queens!

This shows how strictly His Majesty the Emperor guards all those who may threaten his throne! It is precisely because of this that since his accession to the throne, the palace struggle that had spread for decades has been ended in one fell swoop, and the internal stability of the Tang Dynasty has never been seen before, so that it has now become prosperous.

For His Majesty the Emperor, if it is just a small five-rank loose official Zhongsan doctor, then it is naturally a trivial matter for him to go out of Beijing without telling him, and he only needs to be held accountable according to the existing procedures, and this matter may not even reach his ears, but on the contrary, Zhao Fengling, the Zhongsan doctor, is not an ordinary person, and his identity is really a little sensitive - he is the cousin of His Royal Highness the Prince!

Although no one will say some things, in fact, everyone knows it very well in their hearts - back then, how did he become the emperor today? It wasn't because of the crown prince's position that he got rid of Princess Taiping, so he forced His Majesty Xianruizong to abdicate and was able to ascend the throne as the emperor!

Just imagine, Your Majesty himself climbed up from this road, how could he not be afraid that the prince he set up would follow the path he had set up back then? How could they not be on guard against him?

A general who is good at cutting off people's food routes, he is always the best at taking care of his own food routes!

And at this time, your prince Li Hong's cousin actually left Beijing and went to Jiannan Road without saying a word, what are your intentions? Is there some conspiracy hidden in the stomach, intending to usurp the throne and stand on its own?

It can be said that as long as Zhao Fengling and Steward Cheng are not idiots to the point that they have no brains at all, they will never dare to take out the official talisman seal to prove their identity, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have a little scheming, and he will never come forward to explain it for Zhao Fengling, his cousin, but will directly and simply give a question that he doesn't know, and even to say seriously, once this matter is poked out, in order to show his innocence, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be the first to jump out and shout to catch the thief!

…… Things are such a bend, but just this bend, I was stunned to be able to entangle Zhao Fengling, the son of an arrogant and domineering uncle, and the five-grade master of the imperial court, and he could only be beaten with his head, but he was powerless to resist!

Thinking about this in a flash, Pei Jun couldn't help but shudder when he looked up at Li Xi again-did he dare to act so ruthlessly after he understood the bend in his head, or was it just out of a reckless heavenly surname?

When he thought of the word recklessness, he almost didn't have to think about it, Pei Jun himself subconsciously shook his head.

Anyway, I've been fighting with him for a few rounds, it's hard to say anything else, and I don't understand, but Li Xi is definitely not a reckless person, on the contrary, this kid is slippery!

But...... Is this kid really only eighteen years old?

An eighteen-year-old hairy boy, where did he come from such scheming?

It's just a blink of an eye, he can actually bypass such a big bend, and he can still make such a decisive determination? Don't hesitate to offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? And is it just for a woman?

Pei Jun subconsciously couldn't believe it, but the reality was in front of him, Zhao Fengling, the son of his uncle, and the housekeeper who didn't look simple, were all curled up on the ground like this, his facial features were twisted into a ball in pain, and his face was mixed with snot and tears, which was indescribably embarrassed...... How could he not believe it!

And since he can figure out this, he naturally understands that in the current situation, Li Xi will definitely detain himself first, and even if Zhao Fengling and Steward Cheng honestly admit it afterwards, if they have to make this matter stupid, there is no need for Li Xi to say that he also knows that when the time comes, he must keep his mouth shut, and he can't admit that he has accompanied Zhao Fengling and Steward Cheng here.

If you don't admit it, it's a big deal to dismiss the official quietly on the prince's side afterwards, but if you admit it...... Who knows if someone will take advantage of this incident to bite the prince out, and it will be a death case of trying to rebel and rebel? At that time, if you can't say it, you will be given a big sin of "rebellion"!

Five laws of adversity, punish the three clans!

Thinking about this, when Pei Jun looked at Li Xi again, there was a touch of awe in his eyes, although the other party was only eighteen years old, but this scheming, this courage and ruthlessness...... He's ashamed of himself!
