Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Storm Rises
"He talks about me in front of the champion?"
Huang Shouren shook it off coldly, and Li continued: "Cao Lao Er said that your fame was bought, relying on the fact that you are the son of the county commander...... Get away with murder! ”
No wonder Zhang Ze has such a big opinion of himself, and he dares to say bad things about Cao Yu! A wave of anger rose in Huang Shouren's heart, he looked at the thief eyebrows and rat-eyed Li Shi, and suddenly said, "You won't lie to me, right?" ”
Li Shi hurriedly shook his head, "How many dares do I dare to lie to you?" It was the old man who asked Cao Lao Er to show filial piety that day, and I overheard it. ”
"Tsk, this Cao Yu, stabbed me in the back."
"More than that!" Li continued to "break the news": "I also heard Cao Lao Er arrange the county order to Ling Xiu'er, saying that the county order was confused and incompetent. It's not like my brother who is loyal to the county commander and you. Cao Lao Er said that the county lord had no brains, and he asked the county lord to lock people up, so he put Li Feng in prison......"
"How can this be true? Cao Yu, a hypocrite with a human face and a beast's heart, turned out to be one thing on the surface and one behind the other. Huang Shouren slapped the teacup on the table fiercely.
Seeing this, Li was secretly proud in her heart, her plan was half successful. Now I have to talk to Huang Shouren and ask him to release Li Feng.
Huang Shouren was angry, he rolled his eyes, and remembered what he saw at the gate of the academy just now, the treacherous plan is up, Cao Yu is unkind, don't be unrighteous with her.
"Li, I want you to report Zhang Ze's traditional Cao Yu for cheating after the scientific examination, and as a condition, I will let Li Feng go."
"Really? Then I'll thank Huang Gongzi for Li Feng first. ”
Li kowtowed and said good things, and it took half an hour to come out of the teahouse.
Walking out of the door of the teahouse, Li was relaxed. Li Feng is saved, and Cao Yu will soon suffer, killing two birds with one stone. Lee's waist was straight and he swaggered back.
When passing by the academy, I happened to meet Ling Xiu'er who had finished delivering food to Cao Yu.
When Ling Xiu'er saw the Li family, she subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
Li Shi stopped her, "Yo, isn't this Ling Xiu'er, and she is sending food to Xianggong?" She glanced at Ling Xiu'er and continued to tease, "I worked hard to deliver food every day, if Cao Yu didn't win the first place, it would be a joke." ”
Ling Xiu'er is no longer surprised by the Li family's troubles. It's just that this time, Li's self-confidence without a reason, as well as the affirmation of the failure of his family's imperial examination, made Ling Xiuer feel inexplicable.
She didn't think much about it, thinking that maybe it was just a kind of sour talk, and deliberately couldn't get along with herself, "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, my father-in-law will definitely live up to expectations." ”
Seeing that Ling Xiu'er was neither humble nor arrogant, Li became angry in his heart, "Ling Xiu'er, I warn you not to be too arrogant, there will always be a time for you to cry in the future." ”
There were people coming and going on the street, and Ling Xiuer didn't want to be laughed at by everyone with the Li family, so she ignored the angry Li family and left first.
Li snorted at her back and walked in the other direction.
After walking for a while, Ling Xiu'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Li didn't follow. She is not afraid that the Li family will target her, but annoy her. I don't know what shit luck I had, but I have such a wonderful sister-in-law.
Spit and complain, Ling Xiuer sped up her pace, time is money, she wants to go home to do embroidery.
When she got home, Ling Xiu'er happened to see Mrs. Wang and Cao Li, who had just come back from the field, eating, one of them holding a cool sweet potato in her hand, which was estimated to be leftover from last night, obviously the Li family didn't cook.
Since he entered the door, he has done all the work at home, and now that he is separated, the Li family has become more and more lazy. Ling Xiu'er didn't need to care, and went straight back to the house, but after a while, she came out with two bowls of thin rice porridge.
Anyway, these two are also Cao Yu's relatives, and Ling Xiuer didn't want to hear people talk about Cao Yu's unfilial piety that day. She put two bowls of porridge on the table and said, "I'm afraid that I'll spoil too much rice porridge, mother-in-law, eldest brother, you eat." ”
"Why is there only porridge and no meat? Don't, don't. ”
Cao Liang wants to save face, but the fragrant rice porridge is much stronger than the overnight sweet potato in his hand, and the two of them have a bowl for each person, and they drink it straight.
After Ling Xiu'er gave the porridge, she didn't care about the two of them and went back to the house to embroider. She was full of thoughts about making money for Cao Yu to catch the exam, and she was extremely attentive to embroidering, not paying attention to the fact that it was getting dark outside.
Suddenly, a cry for help pierced the remnant sun in the west.
Li ran in in a panic, dragged Li Zhao who was knocking on the threshold and quickly closed the door and bolted. The two of them sat at the door, gasping for breath, as if they had been chased by a mad dog for ten miles.
"Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, what's the matter with you?" Mrs. Wang looked at the embarrassed two and was a little puzzled.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the door was slammed.
Li cried as he crawled to the feet of the old woman. Holding her calves and refusing to let go, "Mother-in-law, help!" My mother, in order to save my brother from prison, borrowed loan sharks. Now we don't want to borrow, but people have to use our house to cut off the head! We refused, and now they have to take off their arms and legs, and I finally ran out with my mother......"
Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and muttered: "This... Is there a royal law here? It's just that how can you lead them home, you should also go to the yamen to report the case. ”
"No!" Li shook his head while crying: "That Fan Si is very arrogant, and he is related to the county master." Even if you sue the yamen, you will not be punished. ”
Mrs. Wang blamed the Li family a little in her heart, since this is the case, she should run far away, do you expect her old woman to rush up and fight with Fan Si?
Seeing that it was useless to beg the king's wife, Li turned to ask Cao Li.
But Cao Liang was not afraid of the Li family now, and said impatiently: "You made a mess by yourself, wipe your ass by yourself." ”
Li didn't have time to be sad, the husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came. Now that Li Feng is still in prison, Li Zhao has experienced too many twists and turns during this time, and he is also haggard, and he slumps on the ground in resignation, and she still needs to think about it.
The Cao family was unreliable, and the Li family hit Ling Xiu'er with the idea, she crawled all the way to Ling Xiu'er's feet, and snot and tears rubbed her legs: "Xiu'er, you can save your sister-in-law!" ”
Ling Xiu'er wanted to pull her leg away in disgust, but Li grabbed it too tightly, and begged in her mouth: "Xiu'er, please, help my sister-in-law!" You are the most eloquent, and you will be able to convince him! And now that your father-in-law has climbed to the top of the throne, Fan Si must be afraid and dare not attack you. ”
Fan Si outside was still pounding on the door: "You stinky woman, don't think that I can't do anything to you if you hide inside, if you don't come out, I'll burn the house." ”
When Mrs. Wang heard that the house was going to be burned, she panicked, and hurriedly followed the Li family to persuade Ling Xiu'er: "Xiu'er, help your sister-in-law, in the end, these things are not all because you imprisoned Li Feng, you have to be responsible for this matter to the end." ”
Ling Xiu'er looked at the Li family who was begging her and the Li Zhao family, who had been hit all night, and she was still soft-hearted.
"Okay, I'll help you this time."
