Chapter 024 - The Li Family(1/2)

(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***) Concubine Wang frowned and said! "Your Majesty is talking about Ai's family?"

Wu Zhi smiled: "The Queen Mother said yes, even if it's right."

Concubine Wang said, "Don't the prince think your concubine is acting too much?"

Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "I think the Queen Mother is a little too demanding!"

"Ha" Concubine Wang sneered, "Ai family is demanding? I think you are too doting them! Is it the princess who should do such a thing as breaking the carriage of the censor in the court?"

Wu Zhi said: "How did the emperor's sister-in-law know that the carriage must be broken by my Qiqiao. Could it be that your censor is saying the truth? My Qiqiao is talking nonsense?" Wu Zhi changed his name and used family affairs to judge the reason so as not to suffer losses in the name.

Concubine Wang snorted: "What are your family and my family? Second brother's words are not concise!"

Wu Zhi said: "Why do I think I'll impeach Qi Qiao in the temple? Otherwise, how would the emperor's sister-in-law know about this?"

Concubine Wang was speechless and was a little angry: "The Ai family is also for the sake of the second brother, so she helped you to discipline the harem. If you ignore it, I am afraid that your concubines will cause trouble sooner or later!"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "It's better for me to cause trouble, but I won't have to worry about my sister-in-law."

Concubine Wang said with a deep face: "What are you saying? There have been relatives in the royal family, and the Ai family must be corrected!"

Wu Zhi said: "Then the emperor's sister-in-law would better manage your Li family first, don't ask the Li family to shame the royal family!"

Concubine Wang was so angry that she stood up and took a few steps: "Is the second brother teaching the Ai family a lesson?"

Wu Zhi said: "I dare not teach a lesson, but the emperor's sister-in-law is really unfair."

Concubine Wang looked at Wu Zhi coldly: "What's the injustice?"

Wu Zhi said: "The emperor's sister-in-law only saw Censor Li fall off the carriage, but she didn't see that it was my Qi Qiao's doing. She scolded Qi Qiao just based on her conjecture, and even blamed the noble concubine with letters. Don't the emperor's sister-in-law feel that it is a bit of a big deal? As for what your Li family did when she listened to the government, it is obvious to all, but she didn't see the emperor's sister-in-law say a word!"

Concubine Wang said angrily: "What's wrong with my Li family?" She naturally couldn't say anything about Wu Zhi, and she couldn't help but lose her words in anger. "My Li family" Sanyu said Wu Zhi shook his head and sighed: "Your Li family, your Li family, your royal sister-in-law, and my brother is very disappointed..."

Concubine Wang was so angry that she smoked her orifices. She pointed at Wu Zhi and said loudly: "Don't mess around here, tell me, what do you want?"

What do you think? Wu Zhi was also stunned. He was just angry for a moment. He came to "discuss" Concubine Wang or quarreled. As for what he thought? He really never thought about what he could do? He couldn't punish Concubine Wang, right?

"Go and apologize to Jinlian..." Wu Zhi blurted out, it was just an instinctive reaction from later generations. If he didn't have his brain, it was really shocking.

Concubine Wang was so angry that her face turned green and she screamed: "What did you say?"

Since Wu Zhi said it, he could only hold on. He sighed and said, "You don't have to go to my mansion. Just write a letter to apologize!" He quickly thought about how to get back to his words.

Concubine Wang's face turned from green to white. Then from white to green, she suddenly said "moan" and fell to the ground. Wu Zhi was startled and hurriedly reached out to catch it. Fortunately, Concubine Wang was next to Wu Zhi. Otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground. If her delicate forehead hit the stone floor, her head would have been bleeding.

Concubine Wang's face turned pale and her eyes were closed, but she fainted from anger.

Wu Zhi was amused, and most of the anger in his heart dissipated. It was interesting to think about it. He fainted from the empress dowager, who was the most powerful and respected in the royal family, and his eloquence was not ordinary.

I was a little proud, but immediately became in trouble. What should I do? The round stools next to the stone table have no backrests. I can't put Concubine Wang on the ground and call the eunuchs and palace maids. Look around the pavilion, it is already quiet, and there is a rockery blocking the view. The empress dowager also ordered me, and I thought the eunuchs and palace maids would not dare to come and disturb me.

Wu Zhi sighed, put Concubine Wang on his legs, held her soft waist with one hand, and sucked her with the other hand. After a few strokes, Concubine Wang did not respond. Wu Zhi smiled bitterly and gave up the idea of ​​helping her with "artificial respiration". Otherwise, he would have to wear the big hat of being a disciple. For the sake of the present, he had to wait for her to wake up.

Concubine Wang was wearing a purple-red long dress, with golden light on the long dress. Even the purple-red embroidered shoes were also inlaid with gold edges. In her dress, she was extremely elegant and elegant. She put such a graceful lady building in her arms, light, fragrant and soft, and it was really a unique feeling.

Wu Zhi held Concubine Wang, and saw Concubine Wang lying obediently in her arms. She was completely different from the arrogant empress dowager in the Golden Palace. Now she is more like a woman. While she is thinking about it, Wu Zhi couldn't help but think of the two confused situations. He was stunned for a moment, shook his head quickly, suppressed the evil fire, and tried to think about Jinlian, Qiqiao, thinking about it, but then he thought of Jinlian's cry when she was happy, Qiqiao begged with tears when she was under her, and Zhu'er's obedience when she pleased her...

Hugging the round shoulders of Concubine Wang, Wu Zhi was full of thoughts and was rational to prevent himself from thinking. His mind was dizzy and he unconsciously hugged Concubine Wang. At this time, Concubine Wang moved her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes. He suddenly found himself lying in Wu Zhi's arms. When he happened to wake up, Wu Zhi hugged her tightly. Concubine Wang immediately became angry. The noble king not only made him dizzy, but also was bold and became frivolous. He was about to scold him, but suddenly felt as if he was bathing in the spring breeze. He was never comfortable. After a moment of silence, he realized that it was the warm and comfortable embrace of Wu Zhi. He was lying in his arms, but he was lazy and unable to lift up a trace of strength. The anger just now suddenly disappeared. Concubine Wang was actually a little obsessed with Wu Zhi's arms. He wanted to close his eyes, but heard Wu Zhi's scream: "Mrs. Queen Mother, are you awake?"

Concubine Wang said "Ah" and hurriedly broke free from Wu Zhi's arms, both angry and ashamed. I don't know if it was because Wu Zhi got angry when he was upset or because he was actually obsessed with his arms, or both.

"You go back to your home!" Concubine Wang sat back in her seat and said coldly.

Wu Zhi scratched his head and stood up and said, "I'm leaving, I just said nothing, please don't blame me..."

Concubine Wang ignored him, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

Wu Zhi smiled and just took a step, but he almost fell down with a "ah" sound. No matter how light Concubine Wang was, she would sit on his legs for a while, and her qi and blood would be blocked. Her legs were actually a little numb.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Wang asked anxiously with concern.

Wu Zhi rubbed his legs and said with a bitter face: "The emperor's sister-in-law is too heavy..."

Concubine Wang's face turned red immediately, and she spat lightly and turned her head away.

After Wu Zhi said this, he knew that his joke had gone too far. He smiled awkwardly, turned around and limped outward. Concubine Wang turned her head and looked at Wu Zhi's funny posture, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled...

On the second day, Wu Zhi was looking through the information about the past few days in his study. There was a knock on the door outside the door. Wu Zhi felt a little surprised. He had already told him not to disturb others. Could something happened in the mansion?

"Enter..." Before Wu Zhi finished speaking, the door was pushed open and he stuck his smile into his little head. Who would it be if it weren't Qi Qiao?

"Honey, didn't you bother you?" Qiqiao pushed open the door and asked carefully.

"Don't disturb me, are you okay?" Wu Zhi asked strangely. Qi Qiao wouldn't come to the study if she had nothing to do.

"There is a little bit of a matter." Qi Qiao sat at Wu Zhi's desk and sat in a proper manner.

"Tell me!" Wu Zhi put down the paper in his hand, "What's the matter?"

Qi Qiao said: "I heard that my husband is going to build a city in the northwest?"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "It's not that I built the city in the northwest, it's that the court built the city in the northwest..."

"That's not the same. They are just building cities. My husband, why do you want to build cities there? I heard that there are not many people there..." Qi Qiao asked curiously.

It is rare for Qi Qiao to ask about his important matters, and the construction of the northwest city is Wu Zhi's most proudest recent Jie Zha, so he naturally wants to show off in front of Qi Qiao: "Little Buddian knows what, foreign races in the north are emerging one after another, and the construction of the northwest city is to eradicate this disaster to the greatest extent. It is said to be a mutual market, but in order to protect the city, it will inevitably have to garrison troops. At that time, it will affect the forces of tribes on the grassland. It will not allow a single standout. It can support some weak tribes and provoke their relationships, so that they will continue to fight in the internal struggle. This city will set up the Bolie Army Division, with 20,000 subordinate imperial guards. The first commander, I am quite optimistic about Tong Guan. Although this guy is a bit cunning, he does something to sow discord and harm others for self-interest, but he is easy to do things that harm others and benefit himself. This is also considered to be full of his talents!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zhi laughed a few times and said, "The Southern Dynasty could also build academies in the Bolie Army to teach Chinese language to the children of nobles from various departments, so that they could slowly understand benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, that is, assimilation of them, so that they would like to live a luxurious life and be proud of their life in the Southern Dynasty, rather than yearning for knives and guns on horseback..."

When Wu Zhi was talking, he turned his head and saw Qi Qiao owing a big shot. Seeing Wu Zhi turn his head, he wiped the corner of his mouth with his hands and smiled, "Ah, my husband is really amazing..."

Wu Zhi's high mood immediately cooled down. He glared at Qi Qiao, sat back on his seat, and said lightly: "What the hell is it to come to me, tell me!"

Qi Qiao smiled and rubbed into Wu Zhi's arms. She acted coquettishly for a while. Wu Zhi's expression was a little calmer, but she pushed Qi Qiao away, "If I don't say anything, I'll leave?"

Qi Qiao opened her arms and said with a smile: "What's the intimidation for my husband? Qi Qiao heard that the construction of the grassland city urgently needed funds, so that businessmen could participate, right?"

Wu Zhi nodded slightly. Building a city out of thin air was indeed expensive, and the Southern Dynasties' treasury was only a little surplus. If the people were not gathered, the city would not be built for ten or eight years.

"Ah, does your father-in-law want to participate, too?" Wu Zhi suddenly understood.

"Yes, my second brother happened to be in the capital. When I heard about this, I came to Qiqiao to discuss it. I said on fair that we sisters are not allowed to participate in political affairs. Qiqiao... Is Qiqiao wrong doing it?" Qiqiao, who is rare, careless, will feel uneasy.

Wu Zhi was so happy that he was very happy. Speaking of the businessmen who invested in the city, they would naturally receive strong support from the court. After the city was completed, there would be bad preferential treatment in the market. In the end, they would definitely make a fortune. However, after the first few years of learning, they would not see any reward. If they were not foresight, some mediocre businessmen would not participate, but they would not have thought that Qi Qiao's second brother was quite smart. If the Ye family was willing to contribute funds and participated in the name of Wujiazhuang, the remaining financial shortage would not be too big. If they were to find a few wealthy families, dozens of large households would become.

He was happy, but when he saw Qi Qiao's appearance, Wu Zhi sighed and looked embarrassed, saying, "Yes. You shouldn't participate in these things. Besides, if your father-in-law has this intention, he shouldn't come to me directly. It's just right to go to the Ministry of Revenue to file a record first."

Qi Qiao Men nodded aggrievedly: "Then Qi Qiao will talk to your second brother!"

"Forget it! Whoever asked our Princess Qiqiao to speak, I will let you do it for my husband. Leave the matter to me!" Wu Zhi gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.

"Ah!" Qi Qiao cheered and threw herself into Wu Zhi's arms. "Thank you, my husband. Thank you!" Xiaowu kissed Wu Zhi's face a few times.

Wu Zhi held the fragrant and soft Qiqiao, and felt very proud. He whispered a few times in Qiqiao's ear, thinking that he had remembered something again, Qiqiao's face turned red. He shook his head repeatedly. Wu Zhi said for a while, and Qiqiao nodded in grievance.

He hugged Qiqiao and intimate for a while, and then let her go back to the room. After Qiqiao left, Wu Zhi suddenly saw an earlobe falling from the table. He thought that he fell to the ground while playing with Qiqiao, so he hurriedly picked it up, left the study, and chased Qiqiao. Qiqiao was whipping the moss on the roadside with willow branches. Wu Zhi chased her for a few steps, but he heard Qiqiao mutter while walking, "Bad husband, bad husband, you know how to bully Qiqiao. When did you pass the fairness? You still want Qiqiao to beg you, bad guy!" As he said that, another willow branch, sucking the moss on the roadside.

Wu Zhi was secretly shocked and stopped secretly. It seemed that he would have to change some tricks to bully Qiqiao in the future. He would have done less to bully her. Otherwise, she would be anxious one day and use Liuzhi to slap herself hard. Judging from the strength, she would definitely be fragile.

"Prince, something happened!" Wu Zhi was about to walk back to the study quietly, but a palace maid ran over and shouted. Qi Qiao turned around in surprise. Seeing Wu Zhi not far behind him, she was panicked and threw away Liuzhi. After thinking about it, she still applied oil to the soles of her feet and disappeared.

Wu Zhi turned around helplessly, "What's the matter?"

"Uncle, uncle, uncle was beaten!" The palace maid said anxiously.

"What?" Wu Zhi raised his head suddenly. The uncle of the noble prince's mansion was naturally Boss Pan. Boss Pan also went back to the capital and sold all the restaurants in Hebei. The cashier money was bought in a big restaurant in a prosperous area in Tokyo. Now the Pan family restaurant is one of the few restaurants in Tokyo. Boss Pan has become more regular recently. I think he has his own money and I feel that he can be regarded as a person who can come to the stage. He is no longer as scoundrel as before, but he can't change his bragging problem. The guards who secretly followed him to report that Boss Pan has met many shopkeepers in the capital and often sits together to brag and spank.

"Who is doing the ground? How is my uncle's injury? Forget it, I'd better go and ask the guards!" Wu Zhi rushed to the front hall.

In Yin'an Hall, the cavalry guards knelt on the ground with a look of guilt. Wu Zhi was walking back and forth, but his face was very ugly. After hearing the incident, the guards said that there were several playboys who hit people. The guards were outside Pan's hug. When they heard the sound, they had already stopped. Boss Pan was not seriously injured, but his ribs were broken and he fainted at that time.

As for the incident, the guards didn't ask for it. The guy only knew that Boss Pan was called into the pavilion by those guests, but he didn't see what happened in the pavilion.

Wu Zhi sneered in his heart. Several guests had several playboys in the capital, one of whom was a child of the Li family. In addition to several playboys, there was also the censor Zhang Chang. Zhang Chang was very close to Cai Jing. Wu Zhi asked him for his past. He was quite upright when he first entered the Censorate. Unfortunately, he was sent to the famous prostitute Feng'er by Cai Jing. Now he is the perfect Cai party.

It seems that Cai Jing has investigated him in detail. I think he knows the relationship between Boss Pan and himself. Whether Zhang Chang is instructed by Cai Jing or his own decision, the account must be settled on Cai Jing's head.

"Get up, find a few thugs, except for the Li family, and break all those dandy one leg for me!" Wu Zhi ordered, but he was funny in his heart. Are you fighting with the underworld?

"Yes, I'll do it now!" The guard stood up.

"The rascal who arranged to do things left Beijing immediately, whether it was to Jiangnan or Wujiazhuang, don't be found."

The guard responded and hesitated, "What about the Li family and Zhang Chang?"

"Don't worry about this!" Wu Zhi sat back on the seat and waved his hand to signal the guard to withdraw. He thought silently that Cai Jing wanted to have a complete rupture with the Li family. He injured these people. Anyone with discerning eyes knew who was behind the scenes. If the Li family really hurt him, Cai Jing would be able to do it.

As for Zhang Chang, as a court official, if he really beat him up, it is a big deal and it is not easy to end. Second, the impact on the officialdom is too bad. I can only think of ways to enjoy him slowly.

Thinking about my behavior over the past few days, I thought less about it, and I said that I went to argue with Concubine Wang yesterday. Now I think about the benefits. I seemed to have become a little impetuous after several accidents with Concubine Wang. Now, it is time to think about how to face the Li family...

The Li family’s mansion is in an alley outside Zhuque Gate. This alley is also called "Lijia Lane" by the market because of the Li family.

On this day, the Li Mansion was decorated with lights and yellow earth sprinkled on the ground. Today is the day when the Empress Dowager Li’s Mansion visits relatives. Li Chongshan, also known as the head of the Li family, led the Li Mansion to the front of the mansion early.

Li Chongshan and others had ranks of good clothes and makeup. The dragon curtains in the palace were dancing in various places, and gold and silver were radiant, jewelry was competing for brilliance, and the fragrance of lilies was burned in the cauldron of Changchun was inserted quietly and no one coughed.

Li Chongshan and others were waiting anxiously. Suddenly, they heard the sound of horse hooves from afar. Then a pair of eunuchs in red came slowly, and went to the gate of West Street to get off the horse, drove the horse out of the siege. The detective stood there again. After a half day, they were another pair, and the same was true. When the detectives came, ten pairs came, and they could hear a faint sound of joy. A pair of pairs of dragon flags and phoenix baskets, Yayu Kui heads, and a gold-plated furnace burning the imperial incense; then a crank seven-phoenix golden umbrella came over, and the detectives were crowned, robe and shoes. There were eunuchs who were responsible for sticking incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, autumn bowls, whisks, etc. After a team, eight eunuchs were carrying a golden-topped golden-embellished phoenix sedan chair and slowly walked.

Li Chongshan and others quickly knelt down by the roadside, and ran over a few Kui and came to Cheng to help Li Tanshan get out of the sedan and carry it into the gate. Entering the Yimen Gate, he went east to a courtyard. "There are some rosy rosys who asked the stone sedan to destroy the clothes. So they carried the sedan and entered the gate. The eunuchs and others dispersed, and only Zhaorong and Caipin led Concubine Wang to get out of the sedan. They saw the various lanterns and smokes in the courtyard, all of which were tied up in yarns, which were very exquisite. There was a plaque with the words "Tiren Mude" written on it. Concubine Wang entered the room, returned after changing clothes, and entered the sedan and entered the garden. The garden was filled with cigarettes, colorful flowers, and lights reflected everywhere, and the music was loud at all times. Sure enough, a prominent clan aura was inspiration.

In the back garden, Concubine Wang asked Li Chongshan a few words and saw the ladies of the women of the Li family. As for the men of the Li family, they were not allowed to see them. In the end, Concubine Wang ordered Wang, who was the wife of Li Tuiguan, who had the best relationship with her.

Wang entered the garden pavilion and kowtowed to salute. Concubine Wang smiled and said, "Why should Huan'er be so polite?" Huan'er is Wang's nickname, and Concubine Wang used to calling him before entering the palace.
To be continued...
