The crown prince Li Hong entered the palace of King Yong, found King Yongxian and drove all the eunuchs and Gong E out, and he began to beat Li Xian.

This time, he didn't choose to use his fists and feet, because he was worried that he would not be able to control his strength in a rage and accidentally beat Li Xian to death.

He used a bamboo whip.

The bamboos in Chang'an City were all planted by Yun Chu's order, and for the safety of the house, he did not ask people to plant tall bamboo, but chose to plant moso bamboo.

This thing is tough and almost solid, and has many uses, one of the most important functions is to make brooms, of course, it is also good for adults in the family to fold a small bamboo whip anytime and anywhere to teach disobedient children.

Before entering the Yongwang Mansion, the crown prince Li Hong deliberately chose a thick one, and after removing the bamboo leaves, he waved it twice, and the bamboo whip could make a sharp sound of breaking the air.

Li Xian was not afraid when he saw the prince's brother coming, and he didn't say a word in the face of the prince's reprimand, and wandered out of the world.

It wasn't until the bamboo whip in Li Hong's hand fell on the base of his thigh with the sound of breaking wind that he said in hindsight: "You hit me?" ”

Li Hong saw that Li Xian was actually questioning him, so he whipped him again.

As a result, when this whip went down, Li Xian immediately fell to the ground, rubbed the root of his thigh with his hand and screamed, and after screaming twice, he began to rub the second whip mark, but the first whip mark was still very painful, so his two hands were divided into two ways.

Seeing that Li Xian knew that it was painful, the bamboo whip in Li Hong's hand was whipped down like a torrential rain......

Li Xian supported his body with his back, and used his hands and feet to resist the bamboo whip drawn down by the prince, and the whole person was whipped and rotated by the prince's bamboo whip like a spinning top, and the miserable howl resounded throughout the Yongwang Mansion.

When the crown prince Li Hong came out of the house, Li Xian in the house stopped shouting, and just when everyone thought that the prince had killed King Yong, he heard the prince say to Xu Shuya, a bachelor from the north gate who had just been fished out of the prison by him, at the door: "Carry him to the Tai Hospital, ask the medical staff there to treat his injuries, remember not to go too fast, so that more people can see it." ”

Xu Shuya said expressionlessly: "The old man is old, and he is incompetent, I am afraid that he will not be able to continue to assist King Yong, please allow the old minister to beg for bones." ”

Li Hong said indifferently: "When King Yong was proud, you never gave up, but now that you are in trouble, you have to leave?" I'm afraid it's not a gentleman's doing. ”

Xu Shuya saluted: "The old minister has done his best. ”

Li Hong said angrily: "If you do your best, he won't make a big mistake!" ”

After saying that, he waved his sleeves angrily and left.

Xu Shuya sighed, walked into the main hall with a group of eunuchs Gong E, and saw Yong Wangxian, who was in tattered clothes and covered in blood, and the moso bamboo that was pumped out of flowers on the ground, he was shocked, and hurriedly tested Li Xian's snort, and found that the breath was like a gossamer, so he hurriedly asked people to carry him and sent Li Xian in a coma to the Tai Hospital on foot.

Li Xian's face was not injured, but it was very pale, Xu Shuya knew what the prince meant, so he deliberately exposed Li Xian's face outside, so that everyone in Chang'an would know that he had just been almost killed by his brother.

Xu Shuya knew that this was the prince saving his confused younger brother, but Li Xian, who was in a coma, was still weakly talking in his sleep-Li Hong, I will not rest with you.

Xu Shuya quickly thought about it, although he was scolded by the prince, he still decided to write a book to the emperor and beg for bones, and it was better to go home and farm than to follow King Yong's adventure.

There are a lot of idlers around Yongwang's Mansion, and they are all spies sent by Chang'an merchants to monitor when Yongwangfu will send money to the exchange.

Unexpectedly, I didn't see the money, I only saw a bloody gourd-like Yongwangxian who was beaten.

Hearing the spy talk about Yong Wangxian's beating, the businessmen immediately understood, the prince hoped that everyone's matter against Yong Wangxian would end here, after all, Yong Wangxian had already confessed to the beating, and as for the punishment, it was estimated that it would be a bubble.

Li Hong entered Jinchangfang non-stop.

In the past, there were only a few pedestrians in the market of Jinchangfang, and then look at the incense candles carried by pedestrians, most of these people went to the Great Ci'en Temple to offer incense.

There is no smoke in the big cafeteria...... Not even a single one of the men could be seen, only flocks of sparrows landed on the densely packed tables and chairs, looking for a little food scrap in the crevices.

A panda that was gnawing bamboo in the bamboo forest saw Li Hong coming, so he crawled out of the bamboo forest to beg for food from Li Hong, Li Hong took out a dry food from the horse bag and threw it to the panda, the panda picked up the dry food from the ground and put it in his mouth, his hands were still ...... In the past, this thing was not so down-and-out, even if it was begging for food, it was lying on the ground in a large shape, and it needed someone to stuff the food into its paws or mouth before eating.

Seeing this scene, even Li Hong himself wanted to say something - the world is not good.

When he came to the gate of the Yun family, he saw that Liu Yi and Steward Liu were already standing at the door to greet him, Li Hong threw the reins of the war horse to Liu Yi, and he strode into the gate of the Yun family.

The Yun clan is very lively now, and the courtyard is full of servants and servants, who are busy picking cotton seeds under the command of the Cui clan, and everyone has a large lump of cotton in front of them.

When Cui Shi saw the prince coming, he greeted him and said, "The slave has seen the prince." ”

Li Hong pointed to the cotton in the yard and said, "Why are you still doing this work in the winter?" ”

Cui Shi said: "Mrs. is going to finish the quilt ordered by others as soon as possible, and after the New Year, the family will not be able to make quilts and sell them." ”

Li Hong looked at the tears in Cui's eyes and said, "Keep selling, the lonely king wants to see who dares to stop it." ”

Cui Shi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "The Yun family is an honest family, and the head of the family is unwilling to be greedy for the money of his partners in the Western Regions when he is the most depressed, since the family has sold the secret recipe for the quilt, he will naturally not do anything that violates his reputation." ”

Li Hong's mood was extremely bad, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Where is the master?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Cui's answer, he strode towards the back house.

Passing by the flower hall, Ben had already walked out seven or eight steps, and walked back backwards, pointing to an empty wooden pier on the left hand of the flower hall and said to Cui Shi who followed him: "Where is this big spring festival?" ”

Cui Shi lowered his head and said, "It's sold." ”

"Sold? This is a pot of flowers that Master personally served, and you sold it? ”

Cui Shi still lowered his head and said, "Twenty times." ”

Li Hong gritted his teeth and snorted, and walked quickly through the moon gate and went straight to the back house.

Sure enough.

The flower road in the inner house, which used to be full of flowers, is now not only gone, but even the various exotic flowers and plants in the shed are gone.

Without waiting for Li Hong to ask, Cui Shi hurriedly said: "Madame said that it costs fifty yuan to burn the earth dragon to raise these flowers every year, which is too expensive, and with this fifty yuan, it is enough for poor and small families to eat for a few years, so they will simply sell all of them." ”

"What else is sold at home?" Li Hong felt that his voice was calm and terrifying.

"Except for the domestic servants, all the things that should be sold have been sold, if it weren't for the fact that this house still needs to be occupied, Madame would even have to sell this house."

Li Hong said weakly: "Why is this so......"

Cui Shi said: "Madam said that the head of the family has not failed anyone for decades, and it is really helpless to fail others this time, even if the Yun family can't fill this hole, at least, the Yun family will not dare to eat this bowl of rich rice again." ”

While the two were talking, they saw Yu Xiurong coming out of the house, and said to Li Hong with a smile: "The prince is here, come into the house to talk, there is no heating in the flower room today for you to enjoy." ”

Li Hong looked at Yu Xiurong, who was wearing a set of half-new plain dresses, with a green cloth handkerchief wrapped around his head, and a ball of cotton in his hand, his nose was blocked for a while, and all the words he wanted to say were swallowed alive.

It's just that with Yu Xiurong, he entered the hall of the back house.

The hall of the back house, like the front yard, is also overcrowded, and everyone is holding a large ball of cotton in their hands to pick seeds.

When the prince came in, the servants in the house also went out, Yu Xiurong looked Li Hong up and down and said with a smile: "I have grown a little taller, and I will be as tall as your master by one inch." ”

Li Hong knelt down on a futon and said to Yu Xiurong: "Master, why is this so?" ”

Yu Xiurong said with a straight face: "Didn't your master teach you what honesty is?" ”

Li Hong intervened and said, "I've taught." ”

Yu Xiurong slowly sat on a chair and said seriously: "Since you have taught, why do you still ask?" ”

Li Hong said: "This is not Master's fault. ”

Yu Xiurong said: "Isn't it his fault? The flowing water brand is set up by your father's hand, and the foundation is integrity-based, and now the integrity is not there, and the collapse of the flowing water brand is expected.

Such a large sum of money is piled up in the treasury without security, and anyone can take money from there.

The world says that this is Yongwangxian's fault, if there is no integrity, in my opinion, even if there is no Yongwangxian, there will be any Shu king, Wu Wang, Zhao Wang, and even you, the prince Honglai, to poke out this big hole.

Your master is not doing things well, and he is unlucky to all the merchants in the world, and this is his fault.

I am a useless woman, I can't make up for this big hole, I can only do my best to make up for a little bit, that's it, when I think of your master who has harmed so many people without food and clothing, I can't sleep at night and feel guilty.

You are his disciple, and now you still have the face to say that it is not his fault.

I ask you, it is not his fault, but whose fault is it? ”

Li Hong honestly knelt on the futon and listened to Yu Xiurong's teachings, just gritting his teeth and squeaking, at this moment, he really wanted to pinch Li Xian to death with his own hands.

Li Si walked in with a red lacquered wooden rice plate and placed it on a low table that Yun Jin had moved.

Yu Xiurong sighed and said, "You haven't eaten yet, eat first, and then go to your business." ”

Li Hong looked up at her girl who always liked to use her head as a display board for precious jewelry, and now, there was only a huge silk flower on her head, and there was nothing else, but this silk flower was too big, causing her head to look a lot bigger than usual.
