Chapter 058 Undercurrent
s
Zhang Xuan and the other two floated away.
Looking at Zhang Xuanying's elegant back, Xiao Shisanlang was silent for a long time before turning his head to look at Li Susu and said softly, "Su'er, is this person reliable? Let's wait quietly for a few days to see how the situation is."
"Zhisanlang, I can trust him. He was a famous slut in Chang'an City. He slept in the flowers and willows all day long, and this Yixin Garden has also come a lot. But not long ago, he heard that the Zhang family was in trouble. He suddenly changed his past style of playboys and publicly abused Li Linfu at the poem and wine banquet of Qujiangchi, showing his amazing talent and fame in Chang'an... In this way, since such a person made a promise, he would not speak in vain."
"This time, if my family can get rid of prostitution, it will be a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life..."
Xiao Shisanlang nodded silently, but his eyes swayed a little. He gave a gentle glance to Li Susu's delicate body, and then his body flashed and disappeared. His gentle and ethereal voice came from the air--
"Su'er, please rest, and come when you go."
On the way back, Cui Huan complained to Zhang Xuan, believing that he shouldn't have to meddle in other people's business on a whim. There are so many unfair things in the world, so how can you manage it? It's not harmful to help the people with just a hand, but how can you do this kind of thing to redeem the prostitute at will?
You know, Li Susu is a famous prostitute. Once someone redeems her, it will spread... But outsiders do not know that Zhang Xuan is a helpful person, so they can only think that Zhang Xuan is lustful and greedy for flowers and has made an old problem.
In fact, in this era of indulgence indulging in desire, I am afraid no one believes that Zhang Xuan’s redeem for Li Susu is “helping others”.
"Third brother, you have a good intention, but this kind of thing spreads very quickly. Once it spreads, it will be unfavorable to your reputation..." Cui Huan frowned and said, "Besides, Li Susu is extremely valuable. She may not be able to redeem herself without more than 100 cents of money. It is difficult for the Zhang family to take out such a large sum of money; and it is not easy to talk to the Jiaofangsi..."
"Second brother, it's just a perfect match for him. Why do you have to say so complicatedly? If you are clear, why should you be too concerned about others' words?"
"I will find a way to do money. If a mere hundred stake of money can be achieved, wouldn't it be a merit?"
"Besides, Li Yong is a senior who Zhang Xuan respects and admires. Since the descendants of the Li family have encountered this disaster, they must stand by and watch." Zhang Xuan sighed softly, "Zhang Xuan has a clear conscience. Even if thousands of people point it, he is still not afraid. But Ying Er needs his brother to help explain it to avoid Ying Er's misunderstanding."
Choi Huan smiled, "I don't care, you'll explain to Ying Er by yourself."
The three of them left by themselves while talking and laughing. Just as the three of them gradually disappeared from the corner of the street, a slender and tall figure flashed from the eaves of a shop. He looked ahead silently, with a look of sigh, and the red tassels of the sword attached to his waist fluttered in the wind.
The seemingly peaceful Chang'an City is actually undercurrents and storms are surging.
On the second day, murderous intent appeared even more.
First of all, Yang's family members, the son-in-law Yang Qi took the lead in the attack and impeached the Censor General Ji Wen to form a clique and commit corruption and abuse the law, and requested the emperor to punish him severely.
Immediately, many civil and military ministers controlled by Yang Guozhong agreed to respond, and countless people impeached Ji Wen for a while. They counted Ji Wen and several serious crimes, and were fierce.
The Yang family chose to attack Ji Wen at this time, so why did the meaning be self-evident? Not only did the civil and military ministers in the court know it well, but even the emperor Li Longji was also very insightful.
However, in Li Longji's view, this is the only way for Yang Guozhong to control power. If one Ji Wen or a few Li Linfu's former followers could be exchanged for stability in the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji would never be ruthless.
Seeing the crowd of feelings, the Yang family was arrogant and Ji Wen knew that his end was coming. As soon as Li Linfu died, Ji Wen had a premonition that his good life was over, but unexpectedly, Yang Guozhong was so quick that he had not completely thought of a way out.
He originally wanted to take the initiative to make a move - he took the initiative to resign from his post and go home to retire. Anyway, he had been making money over the years, and even if he was a wealthy farmer in the second half of his life, he would be more than enough to be a wealthy farmer who would last for the rest of his life.
But Yang Guozhong didn't give him this opportunity.
What Ji Wen didn't expect was that the emperor also had the attitude of sacrificing him. Before Ji Wen could react, Li Longji issued an edict to dismiss Ji Wen from his post as a Jiao Dali Temple to investigate and investigate the case, and Yang Guozhong, the right prime minister, had full power to supervise the case.
Not to mention that Ji Wen is a corrupt official and a slander. Even if he is a clean official, it would be very simple to find out the problem. Yang Guozhong promoted it with one hand and supervised it. How could Ji Wen have a way out?
In despair, Ji Wen fainted from the spot by vomiting blood on his back on the golden palace. Of course, this did not affect his imprisonment.
Ji Wen's fate shocked the whole court, and all Li Linfu was in a panic. I wonder if Yang Guozhong would attack him and when would he do it.
Zhang Xuan broke up with Cui Huan and Jiao Qing. As soon as he returned home, he heard from his servant Zhang Li that Xu Wenbin, the son of Dali Temple Minister Xu Qiao, came to visit him with a large gift, and had been waiting for him for a long time.
Zhang Xuan was stunned, and then sneered secretly: What is this shameless and ignorant idiot coming here? Could it be...
Zhang Xuan thought of it and immediately understood some of the joints. Thinking of this, he smiled indifferently, "Zhang Li, please step back, I'll meet this second young master Xu."
Zhang Linuoran, retreat.
Zhang Xuan floated into the hall and saw Xu Wenbin sitting alone in the hall, waiting a little impatiently. He came to the door today, on his father's order, which was related to the future and fate of the Xu family. He had to shamelessly ask for a meeting with Zhang Xuan.
When Xu Qiao saw Yang Guozhong coming in a fierce manner, he was anxious. In desperation, he remembered that his son seemed to have been close to Zhang Xuan in the Zhang family in the past, and that Zhang Xuan had close contacts with Lady Guo Guo and his son, so he ordered Xu Wenbin to come to the door with generous gifts, trying to take the initiative to show kindness to the Yang family through Zhang Xuan in exchange for a glimmer of hope for the Xu family.
"Isn't this Mr. Xu Er? What kind of wind blows Mr. Xu Er to my Zhang family today?" Zhang Xuan shook the corner of her mouth, and although she looked at Xu Wenbin with her hands in her back, she actually had a sense of being arrogant.
"Brother Zhang, you and I are old friends... All the things I have done before were Wenbin's villain's heart. Today Wenbin came to apologize, and I hope Brother Zhang will forgive me."
Xu Wenbin blushed and stood up with an awkward expression and bowed to salute.
"Oh? You and I are still old friends? Xiao Ke remembers clearly that a few days ago, he came downstairs to ask for a meeting. Mr. Xu's second son replied: I don't know Zhang Xuan of Zhang's Mansion in the south of the city. Why? Today, he has changed his mind to say that you and I are old friends?"
Xu Wenbin's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said softly, "Wenbin apologizes to Brother Zhang, please forgive me."
Zhang Xuan looked at Xu Wenbin coldly and smiled indifferently, "Young Master Xu apologized in person, but I really don't dare to take the gifts. I dare not accept them. Please bring them back. Come and see them off!"
Xu Wenbin was originally an impetuous playboy. Today, he was shameless and whispered to Zhang Xuan. He waited for a long time, and then listened to Zhang Xuan's arrogant "instructions", and felt anger in his heart.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was "aggressive" and did not leave any face for him, he became angry and forgot his father's instructions long ago and turned his back and said angrily, "Zhang Xuan, don't bully people too much!"
