There must be a reason for enmity, there is no such thing as love and hatred without reason.
Especially for powerful figures like Li Youdao and Wu Minzhi, they would not easily offend others without reason.
Of course, there are allies and enemies in the circle of the powerful. Naturally, alliances are formed because of eternal interests, but when it comes to enmity, every powerful family is extremely cautious and thinks twice.
People who come from powerful families will rarely form inexplicable hatred. If they find any clues, they will do their best to eliminate the hatred before it breaks out.
This is why after Wu Minzhi ran out of Li's house with blood on his face, Li Youdao chased him desperately.
The elite children of aristocratic families are among the best in the world at weighing the pros and cons. The enemies they make must be related to interests and are decisions made after long consideration. They will never take the initiative to provoke others without any reason.
For example, Li Qinzai, Li Youdao's enmity with him was an instruction from the family, because Li Qinzai hindered the interests of the family, so he should either be removed from his position or get rid of him.
But now Li Youdao is extremely confused.
He didn't understand why Wu Minzhi was plotting against him as if he were his enemy.
"Have I ever offended you?" Li Youdao was still hanging on the tree, but his eyes had calmed down.
Wu Minzhi shook his head: "How could you offend me? We have never met each other a few times."
"Have any members of my clan, the Li family in Zhaojun, ever made enemies with you?" Li Youdao continued to ask, reminding him of his origin as an implicit warning.
Unexpectedly, Wu Minzhi ignored his origin and still smiled and said: "I have nothing to do with your Zhaojun Li family."
Li Youdao took a deep breath and said: "So, I would like to ask you, why are you plotting against me for no reason? There is a reason for enmity, right?"
Wu Minzhi blinked: "Didn't you tell me when I was a guest at your residence? I am Li Qinzai's disciple."
Li Youdao was stunned for a while, and then he understood, his expression full of disbelief.
There were rumors among the powerful circles in Chang'an City about Wu Minzhi's apprenticeship with Li Qinzai, and Li Youdao had naturally heard of it as well.
But like all the powerful people, no one took this rumor seriously, and I am afraid that the current queen will not take it seriously either. After all, many people in the court still know that Li Qinzai has deeply offended the queen on the issue of Taishan's enshrinement.
.
How could the children of the Wu family worship Li Qinzai as their master after they had become enemies with the queen?
Many people have heard about Wu Minzhi's apprenticeship, but few believe it.
Because Wu Minzhi's reputation in Chang'an City is that he is crazy, no one will take anything he does by a crazy person seriously.
But now, Li Youdao finally had to believe it.
Crazy criticizing and acting in a way that normal people can't guess is what he did.
"So, you are avenging Li Qinzai?" Li Youdao said with a desperate expression.
Wu Minzhi squatted on the ground, looked up at him and smiled: "Not entirely, the main reason is that I was too bored in my husband's farm, and you actually dared to kill a horse in front of your husband's house, tsk tsk, be honest.
Say, I admire you very much for daring to offend my husband with such arrogance..."
"Since something happened to my husband and I'm bored, of course I have to get involved and see what the people my husband regards as enemies are capable of..."
Li Youdao still stared at him in disbelief: "A person like you would enmity with me for such an inexplicable reason?"
Wu Minzhi raised his eyebrows: "What kind of person am I?"
"People who do things without distinguishing between right and wrong, good and evil."
Wu Minzhi made another weird laugh: "That's right, I don't distinguish between right and wrong, so I often do bad things, and occasionally do good things, and live by my heart, wouldn't it be fun! Are you plotting against you? Is it still a bad thing?
It’s a good thing, I’m too lazy to distinguish it, so I just do it and it’s over.”
Li Youdao's eyelids jumped: "What...are you going to do to me?"
Wu Minzhi blinked curiously: "I want to know, how do you plan to deal with my husband next?"
Li Youdao's acquaintance was under the eaves and said hurriedly: "I can't deal with it any more. Let's just let it go. I would like to come and apologize to the Marquis of Li County."
Wu Minzhi sighed: "When I lied to a woman, the oaths I swore were more sincere than yours. Do you think I believe it?"
Li Youdao's expression changed, and he shouted fiercely: "Wu Minzhi, I am a member of the Li family in Zhaojun, and I live as a young minister in Dali Temple. If you touch me today, think of the consequences!"
Wu Minzhi's face suddenly became horrified, he took two steps back, knelt down towards Li Youdao, and cried bitterly: "I'm sorry! When I plotted against you today, I actually forgot your identity. If I touch you, I will definitely suffer the consequences."
I can’t afford it, I deserve to die! I don’t deserve to live!”
After saying that, he took out a dagger from his arms, and after unsheathing it, the white sharp blade was pointed at his heart, and he was about to stab it in.
Li Youdao's eyelids twitched. He obviously hadn't learned how to deal with madmen yet.
He only knew that if Wu Minzhi really died in front of him, and he was tied up and couldn't move at this moment, and if someone found out, his feud with the queen would really be dead, and the life of the entire family would be at stake.
go.
Seeing that Wu Minzhi wanted to kill himself for no reason, Li Youdao quickly shouted: "Stop! Let this matter go, let it go! I won't pursue it anymore, and I won't mention it to anyone. Brother Wu Xian, don't belittle yourself!"
Wu Minzhi suddenly stopped his hand after hearing this. Seeing Li Youdao's frightened expression, he couldn't help but chuckle, and his laughter became more and more abnormal.
"Haha, Li Shaoqing is really very innocent, hahahaha!" Wu Minzhi laughed so hard that he couldn't stand upright.
Li Youdao looked stunned for a moment, then a look of shame and annoyance appeared on his face: "You lied to me?"
Wu Minzhi laughed for a long time, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed: "Chang'an City... is really fun. If it weren't for the smog, no one would be willing to live in that shabby village for so long..."
He took out a piece of paper from his arms and lit another fire stick. Wu Minzhi handed the fire stick to Li Youdao and used the dim light to let him see clearly.
The paper was filled with words, probably a confession. From the Zhao County Li family's bribery and lavish gifts in order to gain fame in the scientific examination, to sending people to kill horses in demonstration at the entrance of Ganjingzhuang Village, a series of events were written in detail and vividly.
, as if someone was watching with their own eyes.
Pointing to the end of the piece of paper, Wu Minzhi said calmly: "Sign, stamp, and fingerprint. I will let you go back today, and we will have nothing to do with you from now on."
Li Youdao had read the contents on this piece of paper and said angrily: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Even if I, Li Youdao, die today, even if I am strangled to death with a rope or stabbed to death with your dagger, I will never sign my signature!"
Unexpectedly, Wu Minzhi was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly put the piece of paper into his arms, rubbed his hands excitedly, licked his lips, and said with a smile: "You know, I was really afraid that you would agree quickly. If you agree
It’s so fun, what else should I play?”
"It's okay if you don't agree. A person must have backbone, especially a child from an aristocratic family. You must have backbone."
"Li Shaoqing, hee hee, Li Shaoqing, please bear with me, I'm going to hurt you... Hahahahahaha."
