Chapter 26 The Supervising Army Judge
When Li Xun learned that he had been appointed as the military judge and went out with the army, he was undoubtedly extremely excited. But when Li Mancang learned the news, he became furious and furious, chasing Li Xun all over the house to beat him.
.
It was natural for a father to beat his son. How could Li Xun dare to fight back? He could only flee from home with his head in his arms.
"As the old man gets older, his temper becomes more and more fierce, and his attacks are too ruthless. I really doubt whether I am his biological child."
Li Xun had a bruised nose and swollen face, and his clothes were messy. He was walking on the street, cursing and his face full of anger and aggrievedness.
"Brother Gou'er, you are also at fault. You didn't inform your adoptive father about such a big matter. No wonder your adoptive father is so angry."
Xiaolian tried to persuade and comfort Li Xun. Just now, Li Xun was chased all over the house by Li Mancang at home. She couldn't persuade him anymore. Finally, Li Xun escaped from the house. Xiaolian was worried about Li Xun, so she followed him out.
Li Xun reached out and touched the bruises on his face. He gritted his teeth in pain and cursed Li Mancang asshole again.
"The old man is my only son. If I tell him this matter, how can he agree?"
Xiaolian said with some worry: "Brother Gou'er, isn't our life very good now? Many people will definitely die in a war. Isn't it dangerous?"
Li Xun retorted: "I don't want to be a high official, and I don't have any ambitions. Now we don't have to worry about food and drink. It's actually quite good to live like this for the rest of our lives. It's just that! How can a man stay at home all day long?
It’s not that I’m too cowardly. I’m only eighteen years old now. If I don’t go out to see the world while I’m young, in a few years, when I get married and have children, I’ll have a lot of trivial matters at home. I’m afraid I won’t have such thoughts at that time.”
Xiaolian secretly glanced at Li Xun and couldn't help but think of what Li Mancang said last time. Her pretty face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head slightly.
When many passers-by saw Li Xun's bad appearance, they pointed, covered their mouths and snickered. Li Xun rolled his eyes and went shopping on his own without any shame.
Not far ahead, there were many people surrounding them. Li Xun was bored now, so he pulled Xiao Lian over.
When I pushed my way to the front of the crowd, I saw a naked man kneeling on the ground, kowtowing his head to the ground. His head was covered in blood and flesh. Behind him, lying on the ground, was an old woman.
He was motionless there, his whole face was very pale, without any blood, and he must have been dead for a long time.
Most of the people around turned a blind eye. Few people dropped money or objects. There were only dozens of copper coins on the ground in front of the kowtowing man. Li Xun shook his head. He didn't expect that everyone in the capital was so indifferent.
Li Xun felt in his arms and came out in a hurry, but he didn't bring any broken silver, only a few banknotes.
Seeing this man's bloody forehead and strong body, he was a manly man, but he was kowtowing and begging for money for his family. Li Xun felt compassion in his heart, sighed, took out a hundred taels of silver note, and threw it away.
On the ground in front of the man.
"One hundred taels, this man is so generous!"
The passers-by who were watching clearly saw the denomination of the bank note on the ground, and immediately exclaimed, looking at Li Xun in surprise.
The man glanced at the banknotes on the ground, and his whole body was shocked. He raised his head, and Li Xun saw his face clearly. He was actually quite handsome, and his brows showed a lot of heroism, but there was a cyan tattoo on the left side of his face.
After reading the text, Li Xun suddenly realized that this person had committed a crime and had been a prisoner. No wonder there were so many people watching, but few people reached out to help him.
"Thank you, Master, for your great kindness."
The man said with excitement on his face.
Li Xun stepped forward to help him up and said silently: "Take the money and bury your relatives!"
After saying that, Li Xun turned around and left.
"My benefactor, please stay."
The man stopped Li Xun, bowed his hands and said: "Ouyang Li, I would like to ask my benefactor to leave his address, and I will bury my mother here. I am willing to be a slave for the rest of my life to repay my great kindness."
Li Xun had seen too many such scenes. Most of them were impoverished and sold themselves into slavery on the streets in exchange for silver to bury their loved ones.
Li Xun shook his head and said with a faint smile: "A mere hundred taels of silver is nothing to me, and it's not worth your efforts."
After saying that, she pulled Xiaolian and turned around to leave.
Ouyang Li said loudly: "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water. I also ask my benefactor to leave his name. Ouyang Li is willing to serve the young master with a humble body."
"When your parents gave birth to you, they must have hoped that one day you would stand out, make contributions, and shine on your family. Who would want to see their children remain slaves for life and never get ahead? I think you are a dignified man.
But he was so humiliated that he only came to help and had no other thoughts."
Li Xun turned his head fiercely, looked directly at Ouyang Li, said these words in a deep voice, and then patted his shoulder: "Ouyang Li, after you bury your mother, take the remaining money and do something good to comfort you.
Mother’s spirit in heaven.”
Ouyang Li, a seven-foot-long man, couldn't help but shed tears after hearing Li Xun's words. He knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Li Xun several times, turned around, picked up his mother's body, and strode away.
Xiaolian held Li Xun's arm and said with admiration: "Brother Gou'er, you are so great."
Li Xun shook his head: "This is nothing."
After this incident, Li Xun felt much better. There were too many people in the world who were more unfortunate than him. He was just beaten by his father, so what did it matter?
Li Xun held Xiaolian's hand and said silently: "Let's go back! I'm having a good talk with the old man."
Xiaolian squeezed Li Xun's hand and nodded with a smile on her face.

"Zhao Lang, are you still angry with me?"
At noon, Zhao Zhi arrived at Changle Palace with a straight face. Li Yi was talking nearby, but he also ignored him.
Zhao Zhi said in a cold voice: "Yaya, you and I are husband and wife. If you have anything to say to me, why should you pretend to be a shepherd?"
When Zhao Zhi said these words, Duke Mu on the side immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the ancestral teaching of Taizu. How dare I propose a job for my nephew in front of His Majesty? I asked Duke Mu to mention this matter in front of Your Majesty. I didn't take it seriously at first. I just said it casually. How could I have thought of it?
It will make His Majesty angry and angry."
Li Yi's eyes were a little red, tears slowly flowed out, and she said with a sob: "My Li family is now very thin. There is only one dog in the younger generation. I don't ask him to be very successful or to be an official. I just want him to be a good official."
I hope he can have an official position, which can be regarded as shining a bright light on the lintel of my Li family."
Zhao Zhi sighed and put his arms around Li Yi: "You and I are husband and wife. If you have anything to say in the future, just say it bluntly. I won't blame you."
Li Yi leaned on Zhao Zhi, nodded slightly, but looked at Duke Mu, and said softly: "Gong Mu, why do you say everything to His Majesty?"
Duke Mu bent down and said humbly: "The Holy Lord is the master of this slave. How dare I hide anything?"
Li Yi quickly spoke to Zhao Zhi's ear and said to Duke Mu: "Zhao Lang, you see how loyal Duke Mu is to you. If everyone in the palace was so considerate, Zhao Lang wouldn't have so many worries."
Mu Gong kept bending over, but his eyes narrowed, a smile appeared on his face, and he finally felt relaxed.
Zhao Zhi glanced at Duke Mu and smiled faintly: "Gong Mu has been following me for many years, so my loyalty goes without words."
"I thank your Majesty for your compliments."
Duke Mu knew that the tone in Zhao Zhi's heart had passed. After following the emperor for so many years, Duke Mu knew what he was like. Zhao Zhi was very thoughtful, deep in the city, and very suspicious. But if you are loyal to him,
Tell him the truth and don't hide anything. Even if you do something wrong, it will be a big deal.
"Zhao Lang, if you feel embarrassed, just forget about the dog and let him live an ordinary life for the rest of his life."
Li Yi stroked Zhao Zhi's chest and said softly.
Zhao Zhi said quietly: "You and I are husband and wife, and Gou'er can be regarded as my nephew and relative. Yaya, don't worry, we have appointed Gou'er as the military judge and will go with the army. If he lives up to his expectations, I will definitely give Gou'er a chance."
