Chapter Eighty-Eight: Li Jing
Late at night, Zuo Xiangfu.
"Bang bang bang..."
A knock on the door suddenly sounded in the darkness of the night.
"Enter."
The visitor paused, and then entered.
……
It was late at night, but at this time, the outer study of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion was still brightly lit.
Li Chun waved his hand and waved away his subordinates who came back to pay their respects.
After the people went out, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Father's ......"
Li Chun's eldest son, who is also the eldest lord of the Zuo Xiangfu now, Li Jing hesitated.
Li Chun shook his head slightly: "Failed." ”
Hearing this, Li Jing was a little disappointed, rubbed his hands unwillingly, and looked out the window again, as if doing so could change the result.
"Father, or ......"
Li Jing hesitated and stepped forward, looking at Li Chun who was sitting on the top seat expectantly.
Yesterday, he also entered the palace with the Li family for a banquet.
Unexpectedly, I saw the four girls of the Shen family above the main hall.
I heard that the daughter of the Shen family was born with a vicious disease, her face was ruined, and her temperament was obedient, so she rarely went out.
He originally thought so, but who knew that the rumors were such nonsense.
This is obviously an unearthly little beauty.
Li Jing, as the eldest son of the Li family, is mediocre in ability and learning.
He knew that his talent was limited, and he never wanted to work it.
What's more, he still has a son who can satisfy his father, so he never cares about the affairs of the court.
He is a person, because of Li Chun's thousands of instructions, so he is usually not high-profile.
But there is one thing that makes Li Chun very worried.
That is, Li Jing suffers from the disease of widowhood, and he is very unrestrained in terms of women.
Over the years, Li Jing has relied on the power of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to secretly occupy countless girls and young ladies from good families.
Whether it is a female family member of an official family or a peasant girl, as long as he takes a fancy to it, he must snatch it back to the house no matter what.
There are also families with solid backgrounds who want to make trouble with the government and give their daughters an explanation.
But because of Li Jing's identity, the officials didn't dare to take over this hot potato even for Li Chun's sake, so they could only put it down lightly in the end.
Although those people were not angry, they were afraid of the power of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, so they could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
Gradually, Li Jing's appetite was raised, and he became more and more unscrupulous.
At first, it was only a merchant lady or a peasant girl inside and outside the capital.
Later, he would even send people to other states and counties to find candidates for him.
Even the ladies in the families of some middle- and low-ranking officials who were ordered to return to Beijing to report on their work, as long as they are a little good-looking, they will not be able to escape his poisonous hands.
And these local officials, naturally, do not follow.
But every time there is no need for Li Chun to come forward in person, there will be officials below who want to climb up to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and directly stop it.
Therefore, at first glance, when he saw Shen Qiaoshen wearing a jade-colored embroidered folded branch pile of flowers, Li Jing's eyes lit up at first, and then he began to think about repeating his old tricks.
……
Among the girls and ladies dressed up in the room, Shen Qiaoshen, who was only thirteen years old, seemed to stand out from the crowd.
Although she is still young now, according to Li Jingyue's countless experiences, this will definitely be a rare beauty in the future.
So, he ignored the fact that Shen Qiaoshen's current age can almost be his own daughter, and even a few years younger than his daughters.
looked at Shen Qiaoshen all night without blinking, wondering how to get this little beauty from under the noses of the Shen family.
The excessive smoothness over the years has made his eyes more and more blatant.
It wasn't until the greed in his eyes was noticed by the others present that Li Jing restrained himself a little in Li Chun's warning gaze.
But the evil fire in his heart was getting hotter and hotter, and when he saw Xiao Jue, the prince of Yongwangfu, heroically saving the beauty and holding Shen Qiao in his arms, Li Jing's eyes burned red.
He directly left Li Chun's warning behind, his scarlet eyes stared at Xiao Jue, who had always stood with Shen Qiaoshen, and a flame called jealousy surged in his heart.
Because of his inexplicable jealousy towards Xiao Jue, for Shen Qiaoshen, Li Jing also forgot his scruples about the Shen family, but looked like he was bound to win.
Therefore, Li Jing's plan tonight was particularly positive.
seems to have tied up Shen Qiaoshen, just like he Li Jing won him Xiao Jue.
His mind, Li Chun can guess without looking.
Although he was so old with Li Jing, he was puzzled by the fact that Xiao Jue, a young man who was not as good as a weak crown, was regarded as an imaginary enemy.
But Xiao Jue, as the son of the prince of real power, has outstanding ability and is handsome and unparalleled.
Each of these is enough to make any man in the world jealous of him.
Moreover, it is said that the girl of the Shen family is the pearl of Shen Yanyan's palm, and the entire Shen family is extremely fond of her.
If you succeed in catching Shen Qiaoshen, according to the character of the eldest son.
When Shen Yan came back from the border pass, he found that his daughter had already turned into a broken flower......
That scene, just thinking about it, Li Chun felt comfortable physically and mentally.
……
Ideas are beautiful, but they must be achievable.
The reality is that just now, the people sent out returned, and according to the news from the Shen Mansion, they had successfully tied up Shen Qiaoshen who was dressed as a man tonight, and threw her on the float according to the plan.
So far, everything has been going well.
Just wait for the float to reach the end point, and then in full view of everyone, just break Shen Qiaoshen's identity on the spot.
They just need to stay in the mansion and wait for the news that the reputation of the little girl of the Shen family has been ruined.
But to their surprise, the float had just reached the halfway point, and Shen Qiaoshen inside, right under everyone's noses, suddenly disappeared.
Li Chun also carefully inquired about the details at that time, and the people sent repeatedly assured that in order to be foolproof at that time, they also gave Shen Qiao Shen a psy~ drug.
And they followed the float all the time, never leaving a single step.
But the reality is that Shen Qiaoshen disappeared like that, right under their noses, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
What they couldn't figure out the most was that it would be just a few of them present.
But there are countless people watching lanterns on the street tonight, and the density of the crowd is simply difficult to walk.
In such an environment, not to mention Shen Qiao, who was fascinated by the incense and had no power to restrain the chicken, sank.
Even a big man like them, who is strong and has kung fu skills, can't do it without alarming anyone to leave the float in such a public eye.
"Father, that little beauty of the Shen family, can she still fly? It must be that the waste is useless, lost people, and is afraid of being punished so they make up a nonsense and come back to lie to you. ”
Seeing that Li Chun didn't reply for a long time, Li Jing said impatiently.
