Chapter 74: Old people are dull-minded and deceive themselves

As soon as Wang Qi spoke, the entire street fell silent.

The crowds of people disappeared, the shouts and hawking disappeared, the war horses neighed away, and even the colorful flags floating in the sky gradually fell, as if they were infected by the current atmosphere...

Throughout the eastern section of Chang'an Street, you can hear a needle drop.

The territory of Liaodong is a remote frontier. There are many people coming to the capital there, but most of them are fleeing the famine. A few are doing business. They are also selling Diao Rong ginseng and doing small business as second-rate dealers. Some are from Liaodong.

A wealthy family, one or two yamen, come to the capital together to have fun.

But in front of everyone, this young man obviously does not fall into the above categories. He is neither a member of a warlord family, nor a member of a Liaodong family, nor did he come here to escape famine.

Instead, he had accomplished a great feat and was urgently recruited to Beijing as a Saint by an imperial edict from the current emperor.

Martial arts descended from heaven, and the Ming Dynasty generals—Wang Qi of Liaodong!

Everyone heard the name given by this young and outrageous young man. There were only four words, but it was like a sledgehammer, which directly hit everyone's hearts and minds.

The head catcher Shang Jin opened his mouth wide and looked at Wang Qi who looked like Yue Linyuan. For a moment, he almost had the urge to draw his sword and kill Ye Longpu who was standing beside him. I just hoped that he would not encounter this matter today.

"Sir, you..." Shang Jin had a mournful face, and his expression was very wonderful: You are a fourth-ranked person in the current dynasty, a relative in the future, and a big shot who may be able to become a Duke and a Marquis. You go for a walk on the street.

Ma, only brought three or five followers?

"I can't help you." Wang Qi obviously didn't take Shang Jin seriously, but pointed at Ye Longpu who was standing there blankly with a folding fan in his hand: "But you, Mr. Ye family, please tell your Lord Ye family that tomorrow morning

Before, I was waiting for him at his new house in Renshoufang, but it was too late."

After saying this, Wang Qi, Qin Erbao and others led their horses and left.

That arrogant look made everyone in Chang'an Street think that Wang Qi was the real person in the domineering office.

In contrast, Ye Longpu is just a kid playing house and playing in the mud.

"That person is Wang Qi, who created a great reputation in Liaodong? He looks really young, younger than Ye Jiayanei, right?"

"I heard that he is only nineteen years old, not as good as a weakling!"

"At such an age, how can you compare to the champion Hou of that year?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this person is a dragon and a phoenix, and we can't match him."

"However, once Wang Wuqu arrives, the city of Beijing will become lively."

"What I said just now, I asked your family to go to the new house in Renshoufang to find me...Yi Qi ordered me, it's like a role reversal!"

On the street, the news that Wang Qi appeared in Beijing has spread at an extremely fast speed...

Not long after, the Yin Mansion of Shuntian Mansion.

Ma Shili, the current governor of Shuntian Prefecture, had just finished dinner in the back house. He caressed his round belly leisurely and wanted to go to the left compartment to talk to his second concubine about the affair.

"Sir, just now there was a young man on the street who claimed to be from Liaodong, and he brought three or two retinues with him, and he had a conflict with Ye Mansion Yamen. Shang Jin, the headman in front of the Yamen, went to deal with it." The news from Shuntian Mansion came quickly, and the streets

There was a riot, and the news immediately reached the ears of the governor.

"Ye Longpu?" Ma Shili waved his hand: "Why should he bother me when he goes to the Yaqian Chief Secretary for such a trivial matter?"

It's not like Ye Xianggao had a conflict with someone. A small government office couldn't afford to let Shuntian Prefecture Yin step in.

"But sir," the attendant added: "That young man is from Liaodong!"

"Liao..." Governor Ma Shili was stunned and muttered: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

"My name is Wang Qi," the follower continued.

"..."

Ma Shili turned to look at his honest entourage, and cursed: "You're going to play hard to get for me, with twists and turns, right? Get out of here, prepare your horses, and go to Wang Qi's house!"

Just as Fu Yin was about to turn around and change his clothes, he immediately stood up, pointed at his followers and said, "At the same time, tell Shang Jin to be proud of his thorns and run with me!"

In the city of Beijing, if something happens to Wang Qi, Shuntian Prefecture Yin will be the first to be unable to eat and walk around!

When Shuntian Mansion was in turmoil, the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Ye Xianggao, lived in his mansion.

The news that Ye Longpu used slaves to commit murder in the street and snatched Wang Qi was also spread back.

There was a bang, and there was another sound of the tea bowl breaking on the ground.

How many teacups have been cracked these days?

Everyone in Ye Mansion silently bowed their heads and stayed away from here. At this time, it is better not to get into trouble.

"That bastard kid is so confused that he is messing around outside with the name of the chief minister of the cabinet! Normally, my colleagues in the capital would give him three points for my sake. This time, he directly offended Wang Qi. That Wang Qi is

Who can he mess with?" Ye Xiang's beard flew high and his eyes almost wanted to tear his grandson into pieces: "Let him fend for himself!"

"Father, this is not a matter of indifference," Ye Chengxue said with a sad face, "It's Wang Qi who made a promise to the street and asked you to pay a visit to his house. If we don't go, then there will be a meeting at the court tomorrow..."

"What! What else can Wang Qi do?" Ye Xianggao blew his beard and stared:

"I just rejected his marriage to Liu'er. How can he still hold on to this? As for the rest, I don't owe him anything. To be fair, I, as the chief minister of the cabinet, always deal with matters! As for your house

Go to that grandson, what should you do? Go back to Fuzhou as soon as possible and guard the family temple. It is best not to come out for the rest of your life!"

"Father!" Ye Chengxue said helplessly: "You stick to the Donglin Party and want to leave a name behind you, but does the reality allow it?"

Ye Xianggao stopped tapping his fingers on the table and turned to look at his son, who had always been timid and fearful. There was a strange light in his eyes, and his tone was low and solemn: "Chengxue, what do you mean by your words? You might as well tell me.

Be clearer!"

"Father," Ye Chengxue seemed to be risking his life, and said directly: "Since Wang Qi rose to power in Liaodong, the power of Donglin in the entire court has declined sharply. The Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, etc. are all silent and have no action. The Chief of Ceremonies cannot fight.

Robbery, let alone unnecessary occupation, who will benefit the most? Is it Wang Qi? No, it is the emperor, it is His Majesty. Because of Wang Qi's military exploits, the Emperor's control over the court has become unprecedentedly strong."

Ye Xianggao seemed to have listened to his son's heartfelt words, and remained silent for a long time.

"With such a powerful emperor, my father has no intention of giving in and getting closer to Wang Qi?" Ye Chengxue's mouth went dry and he was anxious: "Leave a way out for yourself!"

Not only for his son, but also for the Ye family, Ye Chengxue has been anxious and agitated every day these days. With his insensitive political sense, he has also sensed the recent changes in the wind direction.

He didn't believe that his father didn't notice, but he was old and dull.

It’s just self-deception.

Now, today, while Ye Longpu committed a crime and had an encounter with Wang Qi, he happened to use this as an excuse to pay a visit...

By boarding Wang Qi's big ship, doesn't that mean we are getting closer to His Majesty the Emperor?

In the future, the Ye family may be able to escape disaster by relying on this, or even go one step further?

"Alas!" At the end, Ye Xianggao could only sigh, and then said: "I am a wise man in this life, and sooner or later I will be wiped out by you!"
