Deliberately linking the murder of his father and the seizure of his wife, Ma Zhou obviously wanted to make things worse.
Although Li Shan cast a warning look, Ma Zhou was unwilling to shut up and sneered: "Huairen doesn't need to be like this. It's commonplace for the Cui clan to kidnap their female relatives!"
In the past two days, Li Shan had made some insinuations. It was because of similar matters that Ma Zhou had a quarrel with Cui Xianshou and Cui Hao of the Cui family's Qinghe small house. They once made a big fuss and was humiliated.
At that time, Ma Zhou was studying in Weizhou and Xiangzhou. He met a woman by chance. Although she was Xiaojiabiyu, she was proficient in poetry and prose. The man and woman were in love with each other. However, Ma Zhou had not yet proposed marriage. The woman was forcibly married into the palace by Cui Xianshou, who was the Junyi Order at that time.
The fragrance of the moon disappears and the jade dies.
For this reason, Ma Zhou made a big fuss in Junyi County, and was eventually humiliated by Cui Xian and Cui Hao. In anger, he entered the country and wanted to serve as an official. He accidentally bumped into Cui Hao, who had just entered the capital as Crown Prince Qian Niu. By chance, he met Cui Hao.
We landed in Zhujiagou.
After finally finding an opportunity, Ma Zhou didn't add insult to injury?
I was beaten up just a few days ago...and now I'm still bruised and swollen!
How could Ma Zhou relieve his anger after just kicking Cui Hao?
It happened that Cui Hao's cousin was in trouble again, so Ma Zhou naturally wanted to add fuel to the fire.
Li Shan looked at Wei Zheng with a sullen face, "This is a bit too much. You promised to surrender and return home to reunite your family."
Wei Zheng stared at Cui Hao with a livid face, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Let him go."
Cui Hao also gritted his teeth and raised his voice: "But I don't know whether this guy's words are true or not... What's more, this person is attached to thieves and allowed thieves to enter the village..."
Li Shan's sneer interrupted Cui Hao's excuse, "Although I was ordered by the saint to inspect Shandong, both of them came from the East Palace. I wonder who the prince ordered to be the leader?"
Judging from the appointment in the East Palace, Wei Zheng was the prince Xima, which was much more important than Cui Hao, the prince Qianniu. The latter was able to receive the prince's trust mainly because of his identity as the Cui family of Qinghe.
"This matter involves Cui's Qinghe small house, Prince Qianniu should avoid it."
"How dare you talk nonsense?!" Cui Hao scolded with a red face: "Young-mouthed child..."
"Brother Cui, be careful!" Zhang Xuansu raised his head and said, "Although Li Huairen has not yet been crowned and has not served as an official, he has made great contributions to the war in Hebei. He will definitely be rewarded when he returns to Beijing!"
Cui Hao was startled, then turned around and saw Li Daoxuan, Wei Zheng all gave him unkind looks, and Xue Zhong, Liu Jun and other generals looked at him coldly.
They came out of the city to welcome him, but they had not yet entered the city, which had already caused quite a stir. At this time, the elders of Qinghe Dafang and Xiaofang, who had already gathered in the city, could not sit still and sent people out to investigate.
The visitor is Cui Xin from Qinghe Dafang. He is about forty years old, has a face as beautiful as a jade, and has a good demeanor. He has a gentle smile on his face, which eases the tense atmosphere as soon as he appears.
He met with Li Daoxuan and Wei Zheng, exchanged greetings with Zhang Xuansu and Ling Jing, Cui Xin obviously made friends with Guangji, and finally his eyes fell on Li Shan, who was still cold.
Su Dingfang whispered in his ear: "This man was born in Dafang, Qinghe. He is of rare talent and is good at classics and righteousness. He once served as a special commander in Qizhou in the former dynasty."
"Isn't it Li Huairen who planned to burn the camp, attack Wucheng, and plan a great victory in Wei County?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Li Shan returned the salute and raised his voice: "The Cui family of Qinghe is a famous family in the world. I have met many people in the past few months, but you are the only one who behaves like a gentleman."
Ma Zhou and Ling Jing both twitched at the corners of their mouths. This pole... was praised and criticized, and it knocked Cui Xianshou, Cui Xin, and Cui Hao all over.
Cui Hao's face... it's really hard to describe in words.
"You have given me too much credit." Cui Xin's expression remained unchanged and he said softly: "Just now, I heard about this, and Brother Xuancheng was ordered to appease Shandong, and Xu Jiang's soldiers returned home without hearing about his crime..."
Cui Xin's gaze shifted slightly. Qinghe asked Cui Qian to take two steps forward and said, "Uncle, please tell me."
"Go there in person and escort them into the city." Cui Xin explained very succinctly, and then looked at Li Shan and Wei Zheng, "The property has been put into the sacrificial field, and we need to discuss it with the elders of the clan. This matter must be handed over to Brother Xuancheng and Huairen.
An explanation.”
Cui Hao's face was red, his ears were red, and smoke was coming from his orifices... Cui Xin gave Wei Zheng an explanation, which was reasonable. He was an envoy to inspect Shandong under the orders of the saint and entrusted by the prince.
But why give Li Shan an explanation?
I am the envoy who visited Shandong with Wei Zheng!
"Uncle, the manor has been occupied by thieves..."
"Shut up!" Cui Xin changed his face and reprimanded sternly: "Is this the demeanor of a member of your family?!"
"Cui Bo is your cousin. We need to avoid suspicion in this matter."
Li Shan's expression finally softened, he nodded slightly and gave a salute... It has been passed down for thousands of years, and although there are many unfilial children, and although the family has grown into an existence that even the imperial power is afraid of, after all, there are many heroes, and not all of them are idiots.
If this matter is not handled properly, the Qinghe Cui family's reputation may not suffer a big blow, but if wars repeat... Even if the rebels don't attack the entire Qinghe Cui family, they are likely to find trouble with Cui Bo.
.
Cui Qian took people out of the city to pick up people. Wei Zheng and Cui Hao met with the elders of the two families as envoys to inspect Shandong. Li Daoxuan, Zhang Xuansu and others accompanied them. They also needed to exchange information with Wei Zheng.
And Li Shan, Ma Zhou, and Su Ding entered the city to settle down... Cui Xin took Li Shan and Ling Jing to the door before leaving.
Li Shan was very surprised, why was this Cui Xin so diligent?
In the previous dynasty, Qizhou Biejia, the so-called Biejia, was the most important deputy to the governor of a state. He could be counted among the best in the world, not to mention that he was a descendant of a powerful family and a famous figure in Shandong.
"Everything has been packed over at Guantao, and we will leave for Chang'an in the next few days." The first thing Li Shan said when he sat down was to leave quickly, "Wei Xuancheng appeases Shandong, let's not make do with it."
Ling Jing sneered and said: "Wei Xuancheng is not here yet, but he wants to force me to travel all over Shandong?!"
Li Shan was a little strange. The old man was in a wrong mood today. There were always reasons for quarrels in the past. He could only persuade him softly: "Uncle Ling misunderstood. My nephew needs to go back to Beijing to be evaluated by the county government and rush to work next year."
February scientific examination.”
Ling Jing rolled his eyes and said after a while: "It seems that the capital is not peaceful either."
This is really personal. Although I don’t know why Li Shan wanted to take part in the scientific examination, I immediately thought that Li Shan did not directly enter the Qin Palace... and the Qin Palace failed to take all the initiative to appease Shandong after the war.
.
"As long as you stay in Chang'an, Ling Bo can live a happy life every day..."
"That's natural. I will be useless in the future!"
Li Shan was speechless for a moment and turned to look at Su Dingfang. What was wrong with this old man?
He was saying that you have worked hard this time, Mr. Ling, and you won’t have to worry about those bad things in the future... But Ling Jing’s reaction was full of resentment.
Su Dingfang shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not sure.
After a while, Ling Jing sighed, "Cui Xin is a man of few talents, but he is the backbone of Qinghe House. Do you know why he is so diligent today?"
"Please let Uncle Ling make it clear..."
"You say you are diligent, but you are actually looking for opportunities to take a closer look." Ling Jing said coldly: "When choosing a quick son-in-law, you must be cautious!"
Li Shan huffed and was speechless for a long time... No wonder Cui Xin was so quick to cut through the mess and sent him all the way to the door. He kept asking about everything on the way. Was he emotionally trying to pick a son-in-law?!
Ma Zhou on the side looked strange. The young man in front of him had become so famous that he could attract the favor of Cui family of Qinghe... He was originally from Beizhou, so he didn't know the importance of Cui Xin!
