Chapter 146: The East Palace Case
Begins
Yang Zhao entered the house, glanced at Zhang Wang with a squinted look, and said disdainfully: "For Yangming, I will let you go of the grudge of forcing me to drink money, otherwise, I will definitely want you to look good!"
Seeing that Yang Zhao had only become a small official, Li Qing began to write a memoir. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and then smiled at Zhang Wang with anger and said, "Since Yang Zongjun has a large number of adults, he doesn't care about your rudeness back then, and he will give him a gift, even if this festival has passed."
Seeing that the master had already given the order, Zhang Wang didn't dare to disobey, and cursed Yang Zhao in his heart. He had to bow to him reluctantly and turn around to leave, but Li Qing called him.
"Justice Wang asked me for help just now. How many people did you take to do the work for him? You need the best of everything. Don't think about saving me money, do you know?"
With Yang Zhao present, Li Qing didn't want him to know about this. He only talked about Wang County Magistrate, and Zhang Wang knew it was Wang Changling. He quickly responded and left in a hurry.
Yang Zhao next to him was confused and didn't ask much. Just now, Li Qing called him Yang Zongjun, which made him understand Li Qing's intention. His old face turned red and he smiled awkwardly: "I actually didn't mean that. It was just that Zhang Wang, who was so angry, refused to bring me. He remembered the old account, how could I not give Yangming a face?"
Li Qing smiled, "I hope Brother Yang will always think about the past. If he becomes prosperous in the future, don't forget to bring his brothers."
Yang Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "This is what I said to you. Yangming Shengjun Zhenglong is very popular in the court. Who is not jealous? You should support your elder brother."
Li Qing only smiled faintly, changed the topic, and asked with concern: "Where is the eldest sister-in-law? I have brought it to Beijing this time, and there are still a few nephews. I haven't seen them for a long time, so I miss you."
Yang Zhao came today to have a condom of friendship, and to ask him to borrow some money. After coming to Beijing, he coaxed him to take pictures. The money was spent like a flowing water. The savings he saved for Li Qing back then gradually came to an end. Seeing that he was unwilling to mention officialdom, he also knew that this topic was more sensitive, so he followed his thoughts and smiled and said, "I want her to come, but if she comes, our family will have to drink the northwest wind. I want to ask Yangming to pay her a little more wage. I am so poor that I can't even afford to eat."
"He is a noble lady, but you are better. As soon as he becomes an official, he has to rely on his wife to support him." Li Qing said, and handed him the 500-ton coins that Wang Changling wanted just now, "Take it first, if it's not enough, then ask me if it's needed."
Yang Zhao took it with a smile, and his eyes were so shocked that his eyes almost fell off. 'Five hundred coins!' He had never had such money in his life. He was so happy that his pupils were laughing squarely. He quickly put the counter ticket in his arms and said, "Brother's kindness, it seems hypocritical if my brother doesn't take it. Alas! I only realized that I was a little Guan Xiao, and I am also in my forties. When will I be as glorious as my brother and make a fortune."
As he said that, he looked at Li Qing with a slant, hoping that he could point him one or two, pointing out a clear path, but Li Qing ignored him and put on his shoulder and smiled: "Let's go! Long time no see you brothers, let's have a drink together."
Isn't it better to speak at the table? Yang Zhao secretly said, today he must force Li Qing to give him an answer, brother, he will not help him, anyone!
"Yes! This is the first time we have been drinking since we came to Beijing. I'll treat you today."
Li Qing walked to the yard, but saw Zhang Yiming whispering something to a clerk in a corner. His eyes flashed. The clerk nodded repeatedly and smiled sinisterly. Seeing that the two of them had a mysterious expression, Li Qing couldn't help but shout, "Zhang Yiming!"
Zhang Yiming's two wind-catching ears were so scared that they shivered. He slowly turned around, blinked his eyes, looked at the boss innocently, but he kicked the guy below and told him to leave quickly.
Seeing that he was playing such small movements in front of him, Li Qing felt funny, but said with a stern face: "What's so weird and secret, and it's shameful."
Zhang Yiming glanced at Yang Zhao, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Li Qing understood and secretly praised the boy for his progress and no longer talking in front of outsiders. He also said, "If Zhang Wang comes to get money in the past two days, he will give as much as he wants. I have approved it. Have you heard it?"
Seeing that Li Qing stopped asking him, Zhang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief and responded quickly. He saw that they seemed to be going to drink, so he hesitated and said, "Master, if you want to drink, I will introduce you to a good place. Go out and take about a hundred steps, and you will see a wine shop called 'Black Skeleton', authentic Yizhou cuisine, and the wine is also very good!"
"Black Skeleton" Li Qing read it lightly twice, suddenly understood, smiled at Zhang Yiming, praising him for doing a good job.
Yang Zhao was still confused and didn't understand why, but Li Qing beat him up, "I fell off as a shopkeeper when I was a child, and I often have a confused mind, but I am still loyal. I won't talk about it anymore, so I'll go drink!"
The two of them came out and were about to go across the street when they suddenly heard a roar from the shop next to them: "Liu Jigou, tell me where the three thousand guan of money in the account went!"
Then there was a loud noise, as if the table and chair were knocked over, mixed with violent tearing and sad begging for mercy. After a while, the sound not only did not disappear, but became more intense.
Some people even shouted, "Help!"
Li Qing and Yang Zhao looked at each other, and they ran to the next door at the same time. Li Qing heard that this was Du Youlin's roar and scolding. He probably his eldest son-in-law took advantage of his visit to Nanzhao and greedy for his money. In addition, the business was bleak, and all the accumulated resentment broke out at this moment.
But Yang Zhao knew this Liu Ji (actually, it should be a ruthless person). Zuo Xiao Guard Cao participated in the military and often drank together. No wonder he suddenly made a fortune recently. It turned out that it was because of this. Yang Zhao was gloating and wanted to go and see his ugly appearance.
The two rushed into the yard and saw Du Youlin bent his back, beard and hair standing up, like an angry cat, holding a kitchen knife in his right hand, with blood dripping from the edge of the knife, and tightly holding a thick account book in his left hand. His face turned blue and purple, his mouth and nose were twisted and deformed, and his eyes were almost glaring.
Opposite him was a man in his thirties, with a tall and thin figure, a big hole on his forehead, a bloody face, a torn clothes, a chair in his hand, staring at Du Youlin with resentment, moving from side to side, resisting his pursuit at any time.
He was Du Youlin's eldest son-in-law. He was always unrestrained and loved making friends. Like Yang Zhao, he was unable to make ends meet every month. This time his father-in-law went to Nanzhao for an envoy, so he handed over the store to him to manage. He took the opportunity to make a few positions, which totaled 3,000 guan. He thought he was doing it in a hidden way, but Du Youlin was dissatisfied with his performance and wanted to check the purchase and sales over the past few months, but he found out these accounts. In a rage, the man and son-in-law died of money, and the father-in-law and son-in-law turned their faces.
Seeing that Du Youlin had lost his mind and was afraid of death, Li Qing hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him, snatched his knife, and several friends hiding under the back ladder of the cabinet hurried over to help, dragging Du Youlin into the house.
"You thief! If you don't pay back my money, I will never finish it with you!"
Du Youlin was dragged into the house, but he was still unwilling to give up. He struggled while shouting: "I want to sue the prince and kill you, the thief!"
Liu Ji may be the most unfortunate son-in-law in the world, because he has a brother-in-law who is the prince. Needless to say, the cowardly anger he suffers on weekdays. Once he quarrels with his wife, Du Youlin jumps out and scolds him. What about another son-in-law and how can he be blind. At the beginning, he gave his swan-like eldest daughter to his toad, otherwise he could at least marry a prince. And so on. Over time, his resentment in his heart grew. This time, when he saw his father-in-law chopping him with his death, his resentment accumulates to the extreme. Seeing that his father-in-law was controlled, he quickly ran out and cursed in a low voice: "Is it great to have a son-in-law who has the best son-in-law? I dream of being a father-in-law all day long. If you have the ability, you can rebel. If you go to chop the emperor, you can be a father-in-law. Bah! What's the matter? I'm going to sue you."
His original intention was to go to the Ministry of Personnel to sue Du Youling for the time to go to court to run for business, but the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Yang Zhao, who had been suffering from the opportunity to show himself in front of Li Linfu, was stunned, "Rebellion, sue". He seemed to suddenly find a piece of land in the vast sea, and a thought suddenly arose in his heart, and his whole body was trembling with excitement, "Yes! Let him go and sue Du Youling and the prince to plot rebellion together."
He didn't bother to say hello to Li Qing, and turned around and ran out.
Liu Ji tore off a piece of clothes and covered his head, and then wiped off the blood from his face. The anger on his face gradually disappeared, but the resentment in his heart became deeper, and he said to himself: "Don't leave her, I'll marry another one!"
"Liu joins the army and stay!" Liu Ji turned around and saw that it was the Jinwu Guard Cao joins the military officer Yang Zhao. Then he remembered what he had just seen him. He was angry for a moment, but forgot to say hello.
He smiled bitterly, turned around and bowed to Yang Zhao and said, "It turns out that it is Yang Zongjun. Why are you in the West Market?"
"I'm off today, and a brother happened to open a store here. Today I came to find him, the store next to your father-in-law."
"Is Li Duwei your brother?"
Liu Ji looked at him incredibly. General Li Qing, who was famous in Chang'an, turned out to be his brother, and he couldn't help but feel awe.
Yang Zhao felt a little proud, but fearing that he would not believe it. He took out the 500-ton box ticket from his arms and shook it in front of him, making a 'stop' sound, "This is 500-ton. When he heard that I had no money, he forced it to me, and he couldn't even push it off. Alas!"
Liu Ji suddenly thought of his father-in-law. He just took some money to fight with him. He also often boasted that he regarded money as dirt. Now it seems that he is almost the same as dirt. His face couldn't help but feel sad, and he whispered: "I just hope Brother Yang will not publicize everything."
"How could I go and promote it? Brother Liu regards me as someone."
Yang Zhao sneered in his heart. Of course he would not promote it. He wanted Liu Ji's hatred to take root and sprout quickly. He looked at him with pity and said, "But the first time I have seen a father-in-law treating his son-in-law like this. It is not like a father-in-law, but like an enemy of several lifetimes. Brother Liu can still bear it. I admire him."
"So what can I do if I can't bear it? He always put the prince in the face of me." Thinking of his usual hatred, Liu Ji gritted his teeth and pulled his muscles. The blood that had just solidified on his forehead broke again, and blood gushed out.
Yang Zhao quickly tied him tightly with a silk squid, and while tying, he said carelessly: "I think if you don't pay him back this time, even if you endure it, he will never let you go."
Liu Ji was stunned. This was what he was most worried about. The money had been squandered. Why did he pay it back? He heard Yang Zhao say to himself again: "This knife will make you die if you have a little deeper than the slightest bit. You will be so heartless. How can you think you are his son-in-law?"
Yang Zhao's words seemed to be a knife, piercing his heart. He was a person who was free and crazy. Such a person did things with a temporary pleasure and never considered the consequences. He remembered Du Youlin's indifference when he waved the knife, and two unforgettable hatred shot out in his eyes.
"I want to sue him and squat in prison. I think he dares to be more arrogant!"
Seeing that the fire had arrived, Yang Zhao smiled gloomyly and patted his shoulder and said, "A real man should be willing to avenge his enemies. Let's have a drink, he will squat in the prison, and that shop will be yours. No, you must treat him today."
He looked around and saw a few steps ahead. A few steps away was a wine shop. Several hot-bodied Hu Ji at the door were waving to welcome guests. "You are not romantic but only for poverty." With five hundred stagnants as your base, Yang Zhao was naturally confident, so he pulled Liu Ji and pushed the door in with his belly. He only had Hu Ji with big breasts and buttocks in his eyes, but he didn't notice that a dazzling skull was embroidered on the wine banner with a black bottom and red edge at the door.
Let’s talk about Li Qing advised Du Youlin for a long time and promised to give him a big business to make up for the losses. Du Youlin’s anger was barely eliminated. He looked at the blood on the ground and couldn’t help but regret that his subordinates were too heavy. Although he looked down on his eldest son-in-law, his daughter married him and made a big fuss, and the one who suffered the loss in the end was his daughter.
But he refused to admit it in front of outsiders, and just lowered his head and said nothing. Li Qing knew that he regretted it, so he
After discussing the delivery details with him, Du Youlin stood up with a smile and his anger disappeared.
Li Qing pressed his shoulder and walked out of his shop with a smile. Unexpectedly, he could not see Yang Zhao's signs, and he was surprised, "Did he have left after getting the money? It shouldn't be that this person has always been greedy and has not received his promise to help him, so why would he leave?"
According to Li Qing's original intention, he invested in Yang Zhao to wait for him to return him after he became successful. Unexpectedly, things in the world were like chess. It seemed that he was playing the role of Yang Guozhong in history. However, he had no strength, so it was really unwise to become Li Linfu's enemy too early. Since Yang Guozhong in history finally became a life-and-death enemy with Li Linfu, he simply pushed Yang Zhao as a shield and escaped from Li Linfu's gaze.
After waiting for a while, he still couldn't see Yang Zhao. Li Qing had to go back to his shop. Just as he was about to enter the door, he saw a person walking up from the street in front of him. He was as thin as a skeleton, as if there was a human skin on a skeleton. Although his appearance was ugly, Li Qing's heart felt a warm feeling. The person coming was a skeleton who was doing secret things for him.
Zhang Yiming just now hinted to himself that they opened a wine shop, and the shopkeeper was a skeleton, which should be used to collect information. No wonder they have been doing business in the past few months, and even making a few big tickets seems to be related to this wine shop.
"Skeleton, why, haven't you seen me?"
The skeleton was walking in a hurry, and suddenly he seemed to hear Li Qing's voice. When he looked up, wasn't the one standing in front of him his boss? He was surprised and happy, "Sir, when did you come back? I don't know!"
Li Qing smiled slightly, "I came back yesterday. You are so busy, but there is information to discuss with Zhang Yiming."
The skeleton scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "It turns out that all adults know that there is not much information today. There is only one big food merchant who wants to buy three hundred colorful brocades. I have sent my brothers to follow him."
Li Qing looked behind him again and said, "When you come over, you will see a man wearing a Jinwu Guard uniform, about forty years old."
"Jinwu Guard uniforms, four
"Yes! He was in my store just now."
The skeleton stepped forward and whispered to Li Qing: "It was just two people who were plotting in the wine shop for a long time, without saying anything, and just writing on the table with wine, sneaking. One of them was wearing Jinwu Guard uniforms. As soon as he entered the door, he stared at Hu Ji in a lust, and kept showing them the 500-tallele counter tickets in his hands to them."
Needless to say, this must be Yang Zhao. He looked for him everywhere and disappeared. It turned out that he had actually gone to drink. Li Qing suddenly moved his heart and asked anxiously: "Is the other person's face covered in blood?"
"It should be!" The skeleton nodded and said, "Although he is not covered in blood, the blood is still stained and his head is still bandaged."
It was indeed Yang Zhao and Liu Ji. Li Qing suddenly became very interested. What were they talking about? He actually used wine instead of talking and was shameful. Thinking of this, he asked again: "Are they still here?"
"When I came, they had already gotten up to check out, and they must have left now."
Li Qing lowered his head and thought for a while, then quickly said, "Take me to see the table they are sitting on."
When they arrived at the restaurant, the two of them had just left. The bowls and chopsticks on the table where they were drinking had been taken away, but thank God, the table had not been wiped yet.
"Don't wipe it!"
Li Qing reached out to stop the guy who came to wipe the table. He lay on the table and looked carefully. Although most of them had already been done, the fingerprints could still be seen from the side with reflections, and the words were indeed full of handwriting.
He chose a clearer place and carefully exhale white air with his mouth on it. His finger marks were wet, and gradually the handwriting was reappeared.
Because of the overlapping of handwriting, it was difficult to see clearly what they wrote, but there were four words that he vaguely saw clearly, ‘collusion, rebellion’
Only a few four words can be seen clearly, but it seems like a shocking moment, which made Li Qing stunned for a moment, "Who will he collude with, and who will he rebel with."
He lowered his head and paced around the room. He had probably guessed that Yang Zhao wanted to make trouble in the middle, but what was his motive? Who was the target? Suddenly, a few drops of blood were found in the crack of Li Qing's ground, and he was slightly stunned. But at this moment, he suddenly understood, 'Du Youlin, the prince'
