CHAPTER XIV

"It turned out that it was the little brother who rescued the little boy from the gangsters, and the old man thanked him here. Someone's coming! Take twenty taels of silver and thank you for this little brother. When the old steward heard that it was this young man who came to his rescue, he immediately called for someone to fetch the money.

As soon as the man with the silver walked out of the door, he saw a white-faced scholar walking in with a folding fan in his hand. Lin Kewang hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "The eldest prince is here, the old man is so polite." ”

Hearing that this is Yuan Yingtai's eldest son, Li Xiao carefully looked at this second generation of Liaoyang's first official.

The thick eyebrows are slightly raised rebelly, and there is a pair of clear eyes like morning dew under the long, slightly curly eyelashes. The bridge of the nose pierces through the roots, the lips are as rosy as rose petals, and the skin is extraordinarily fair. is also a man, Li Xiao also has to admit that he is very handsome.

"Yuan Ang has seen Lord Futai, and Lord Futai has bothered about his brother's affairs. I would like to thank the Lord of Futai, and I will remember the kindness of Lord Futai. The great grace is not grateful, and in the future, the Lord of Futai will have a useful place to speak. Yuan Ang said to Lin Kewang with a smile.

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, don't look at the appearance of Yuan An, the eldest son of Yuan, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old. is really as smooth as a yo-yo, and when he speaks, he is Yuan An. Don't mention his Lao Tzu Yuan Yingtai at all, if you don't have a Lao Tzu who does the strategy. The prefect knows who you are!

But Yuan Ang just didn't mention it, even if the Yuan family didn't help in the future, it would be his Yuan Ang's business, and it had nothing to do with his son Yuan Yingtai.

Lin Kewang arched his hand at Yuan An: "The eldest prince laughed, this matter is the duty of this official." Liaoyang is not quiet on the ground, so such a thing happened. This official must make great efforts to appease Liaoyang Fucheng. In order to repay the trust of the imperial court and Lord Yuan, and to protect the peace of the people of Liaoyang. ”

Another guy who is more slippery than a loach, full of official words. People can't pick out the slightest mistake, this Lin Kewang is really an official.

If these two people continue to talk about it, they will have nothing to do with themselves.

"The villain has seen the eldest son!" Li Xiao raised his hand and arched his hand at Yuan An.

"This is ......!" Yuan Ang looked Li Xiao up and down, and saw that this person was dressed ordinary. It looks like he is fourteen or fifteen years old, but there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. Some people don't understand Li Xiao's identity!

The old steward who was holding the little boy hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Big boy, this is the righteous man who saved the little boy from the gangsters." The old slave was the master, and rewarded him with twenty taels of silver. ”

"Oh! I see, the twenty taels of silver to save my brother is too thin. Yuan Fu, you are also a little stingy, this son will add you twenty taels. Thanks a lot......! ”

"Grand Master Yuan, there is no need to say more polite words. The reward of forty taels of silver, the villain did not want to receive it. The villain has only one wish, and he hopes that the eldest son will be fulfilled. Li Xiao looked straight at Yuan Ang and said.

In Liaoyang Mansion, few people dared to look at him Yuan Ang with this kind of look. Yuan Ang couldn't help frowning, and also stared at Li Xiao. I was expecting money to settle this matter, but it didn't seem easy.

Li Xiao gambled on this, the big man has the rules of behavior of the big man. Generally speaking, things that can be settled with money are not a problem. Therefore, the superior likes to settle things with money. If you don't want money, they will be confused. At this time, they will all think about what the other party wants. and will not open his mouth to reprimand or refute!

"What a bold boy, do you want to blackmail Entu! The old man has long seen that you are a bad person, come and blast out! ”

Yuan Dagongzi, Lin Kewang didn't speak. Master Xing opened his mouth, walked over and almost clubbed his fingers on Li Xiao's face.

"Slow! This righteous man, you can say what you want. Yuan has clear grievances, since you saved your brother. As long as it's not excessive, Yuan can promise you. Yuan Ang stopped the errand officer who rushed over, looked into Li Xiao's eyes and said.

It's strange that he thinks this kid is very different.

Usually a young man from an ordinary family at this age is already frightened when he arrives at the yamen. What's more, the prefect is here, and he is the son of Lord Jingluo. Children from ordinary families have long been so frightened that they can't even say anything when they see such a scene.

And this kid not only speaks coherently but does not stutter. There was no trace of timidity in his eyes, and even when Master Xing's fingers were about to hit his face, he didn't have the slightest sense of fear. You know, in the eyes of ordinary people. People like Master Xing are also amazing existences. This kid can actually ignore it.

It's not easy! It's not easy!

Observing people and things is the basic skill of the children of the eunuchs, how to mix in the circle without these two moments. Don't look at Yuan An's age, but he is a master. Ordinary young people can see seven seven or eight by just looking at their eyes. The kid in front of him has a feeling that he can't see through.

Yuan Ang began to take this kid seriously in his heart.

"I don't know what the righteous are called?" Yuan Ang asked.

"Li Xiao!" Li Xiao returned the salute.

"It turned out to be Brother Li, just say something about it."

"This friend of mine, he has the latest military information of the Tartars, and he needs to meet Lord Jinglu to report." Li Xiao pointed to the Ge Ritu who followed behind him and said.

"Oh?" Yuan Ang looked at Ge Ritu, and this guy knew at a glance that he was a Mongol.

The Mongol tribes were now very mixed, and some tribes were allied with the Jurchens. The robbery comes together, and the spoils are shared. Everyone, your uncle married my third aunt, and my aunt married your fourth uncle. They all became relatives!

Some tribes were enemies of the Jurchens. There are a lot of deep grudges! The person in front of me is from which tribe, but I don't know yet.

"Childe, watch out for this tartar. If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different, in case they want to be unfavorable to the Lord ......! Don't be careful! Master Xing bowed down and said beside Yuan An.

"Hahaha! The so-called sea is tolerant of all rivers, and the ministers under the command of the master are like clouds and fierce generals. Are you still afraid that this friend of mine will not be able to assassinate him? Li Xiao laughed twice, looked at Yuan Ang and said.

"Good! It's a good place to be tolerant, I didn't expect you to have a book? Can you write? ”

"Yes!" Li Xiao replied affirmatively.

Just kidding, Lao Tzu graduated from the non-commissioned officer school. Since childhood, he has been a calligraphy lover, although he dare not say that he is proficient in ancient Chinese. But I still know a lot of traditional Chinese characters!

I heard that Li Xiao was literate, which surprised everyone, including Lin Kewang. Liaodong is a remote place since ancient times, and the ancestors of the Han people have advanced and retreated here a few times, that is, after Yongle, the Han people have more in Liaodong. They are all military households who are on duty, as well as peasants who have fled from Shandong and Hebei. How many are literate, which leads to Liaodong can be called a cultural desert, and 20% of the people are semi-literate.

Eighty percent ...... It's pure illiteracy!

Hearing that Li Xiao was literate, everyone looked at him differently.
