Chapter 171: The Beginning of the Disaster of the Earth Movement (8)

She knew that if Li Ruiqing insisted on doing this, she would only persuade him in vain.

What Li Ruiqing wants to do has never been difficult to persuade.

Especially in the matter of Zuo Xiang, his obsession may be deeper than he imagined.

But the matter of the left phase is fermenting more and more.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and everything Li Ruiqing has done has been dug up and studied carefully.

Some people even directly sued him in a written complaint, saying that Li Ruiqing had slaughtered Zhongliang and framed the people.

Even the bandits from the city came to join in the fun. The leader who had one of his hands cut off by Zhao Xiangling was the one who wrote the paper.

He almost cried and told everyone that he was a lot of law-abiding people in Liancheng, fishing with his brothers all day long, and he had worked hard, but he met Li Ruiqing with a group of robbers who robbed their stockade and took away all their savings.

In the end, he even insidiously reported to the police and put him and his brother in prison.

Someone with a heart verified that the person who let the leader go to prison was indeed the Sword Shadow Pavilion. And now everyone knows that the Sword Shadow Pavilion is Li Ruiqing's world.

When one person stands up, more and more people stand up.

A woman took her child to court and said that Zuo Xiang insisted on dragging her husband out of the rubble despite persuasion, resulting in her husband dying on the spot, and she had no husband and no father for her children.

Almost in an instant, Zuo Xiang went from being a good prime minister praised by everyone to a murderous demon with a twisted mentality, a despicable villain who bewitched the monarch.

Zhao Xiangling is busy with these things every day, but Zuo Xiang seems to be very idle recently.

Above the court, some people gradually discovered that it was difficult to maintain the court without the left minister.

Among the ministers, there was only one sentence for something in the past: go to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and seek the advice of the Zuo Minister.

Every time you make up your mind, you also have one sentence: ask Prime Minister Zuo what he thinks of this matter.

But now that there is no left phase, it is like there is no hub, and it takes many more steps to act in a scattered manner.

Finally, they felt constrained, and felt that Zuo Xiang's prison should be enough.

In the early dynasty, someone whispered: "Your Majesty, when will the Zuo Prime Minister return to the court?" ”

Zhao Xiangling is serious: "If Dali Temple does not solve the case for a day, Zuo Xiang will not return for a day." ”

Those who complained that Li Ruiqing was promoted too quickly also closed their mouths.

Approaching the New Year's Festival, it was supposed to be an official assessment at this time, and then a personnel transfer, but the Ministry of Rites Shangshu suddenly found that they had not even prepared the test papers.

hurriedly prepared, but found that the head of the paper was not signed, and it was not determined who was selected to read the paper.

As a result, the assessment was delayed, and those newly promoted talents who were expected to make a move were left cold and had no positions.

As a result, some people are dissatisfied. Officials are not allowed to transfer, which means that they are missing at least a few taels of silver per month. Besides, the world is changing, and who knows what will happen in the future? Who knows what vacancies will be available in the future?

These are all in the hands of the right and the left. However, Sun Youxiang has just taken the position now, and he is far less skilled than Li Ruiqing, and he still has one thing to do, and the handover of the Ministry of Rites has not been completed, where is the time to take care of other things?

Delaying and delaying, it will inevitably make people feel impetuous.

This is still the case in the court, not to mention the people.

The people found that all the pharmacies around them had closed their doors overnight.

Pharmacies are the most obvious, and there are also some restaurants, jewelry stores, grocery stores, and rice grain stores that have also rolled up their curtains.

All the shopkeepers confessed in one voice, saying that their owners were in trouble and their stores could not be opened.

Zuo Xiang is in prison, there is no turnover of silver taels, there is no assembly line, the store is not a charity field, and it will be closed if it can't make money.

The doctors refused to treat any more, and their words were the same:

The proprietor Sword Shadow Pavilion selects them to sit in the hall, and gives them at least ten taels of silver every month, ten taels! You can't make so much money from anyone.

The doctors' parents are concerned, the patients are in difficulty, and most of them are the owners who are in the back, and sometimes the soup and medicine fees cannot be recovered. You must know that the pharmacy under their Sword Shadow Pavilion is the best medicinal herb and the lowest price.

The doctors refused to see a doctor, and the people were miserable. Although small injuries and illnesses are not in the way, who can afford to eat if it goes on like this for a long time? Who can guarantee that they will not get sick for the rest of their lives?

At this point, everyone remembers the good of Zuo Xiang.

Remember who worked tirelessly in the court to share the worries of the country, and remember who did not hesitate to anger the emperor to ask for the people's lives. Remember who personally cured the disease in the midst of the plague, and remember who always scattered food to cure life in times of disaster.

After losing these, suddenly everyone remembered his good comeback. began to consciously ask Zuo Xiang to be released from prison.

Even the bandit leader who accused Li Ruiqing of chopping off one of his hands before admitted that he had cheated with tears and snot.

He cried, "I am blind." My wife also treated a lot of money in the pharmacy, and I was blind to listen to other people's pleadings, and I went to Beijing to sue for this case. ”

The woman who lost her husband in the midst of the earth's turmoil also regretted it. She withdrew the complaint and left the capital crying, saying that she would burn incense every day in the future, and that the Buddha would forgive her for her act of revenge.

When all this happened outside, Li Ruiqing was peeling pears for Zhao Xiangling. He was unhurried, not even displeased.

Zhao Xiangling told him these things, and he only responded lightly with a 'hmm', without showing the slightest surprise or expectation.

Looking at his flat expression, Zhao Xiangling felt indignant: "I didn't have time to do anything about this matter, you will settle it yourself." ”

Li Ruiqing carved pears, and under the rotation, the pear flesh was sliced out, forming snow-colored petals.

It looks good when it is thrown in a silver dish.

"Isn't that normal?" Li Ruiqing said.

"Are you prepared?" Zhao Xiangling snorted. If he had really been prepared, he wouldn't have been worried for so long.

"Not prepared." Li Ruiqing replied, arranging the petals of the pear blossoms on the plate, "This kind of thing, I can't prepare." ”

"Then you're still so laid-back." Zhao Xiangzero picked up a piece of pear blossom, raised his head and swallowed it in his mouth, "I don't think you're worried at all." ”

Li Ruiqing smiled: "Because I know, he can't help me." ”

Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in prison so easily.

Although he needs to protect Zhao Xiangling, it is also on the premise that he is safe. He doesn't hurt himself unless he has to.

"Hmph." Zhao Xiangling lowered his head and bit the pear blossom, and said vaguely, "If I knew it, I wouldn't stay here with you." I thought you'd be upset. ”

"Nope." Li Ruiqing put down the knife in his hand, surrounded her, and sniffed the fragrance in her hair, "Xiang Zero, I'm very happy." ”

In this world, most of the things that make people happy are meaningless, and the value of their existence is to make people happy.
