When Li Youdao returned to his mansion, he was in a very embarrassed state.
He walked with a limp, stopped after taking a few steps, and showed a look of pain. He was only wearing his undershirt, and the white undershirt was dirty for some reason. He looked like a man who had been driven around.
beggar.
The Li Mansion was already in chaos, and Li Youdao had been lost. The housekeeper of the Li Mansion was standing outside the door, scolding his servants fiercely. Torches were lit everywhere in the mansion, and the sounds of cursing, barking, and dog barking could not be heard.
Seeing Li Youdao walking towards the door in embarrassment alone, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then turned pale with fright, and hurriedly came up to meet him.
"Why is Mr. Lang like this? Who dares to bring harm to Mr. Lang?"
Li Youdao's face was gloomy, but he said nothing. He glanced at the housekeeper coldly, and the housekeeper did not dare to ask any more questions.
The problem of the housekeeper is definitely the biggest taboo in his life. He can only bury it in his heart forever and cannot mention it to anyone.
Why did Wu Minzhi put him back safe and sound?
If he doesn't satisfy him, can Li Youdao come back intact?
Of course, he was forced to sign the confession, and he was also tortured by Wu Minzhi.
If you ask him what he has been through, all he can say is...fortunately his chastity is still there.
If you want to ask what Wu Minzhi did to him, you can only say...he is not a human! He is an animal!
Tonight's experience must be rotten in Li Youdao's stomach.
Stepping through the door with a gloomy face, Li Youdao saw people in the mansion. Countless servants were holding torches and shouting, searching everywhere. Li Youdao couldn't help but feel nervous, and said in a deep voice: "What happened in the mansion?"
The housekeeper didn't dare to talk nonsense and just led him to the front yard.
In the middle of the front yard, there were more than a dozen corpses lying neatly. The faces of the corpses were covered with a white cloth. Li Youdao uncovered the white cloth on one of the corpses, and a familiar face came into view. It was the story of his family.
one.
The housekeeper whispered next to him: "They are all members of our family. The incident happened at night. The members of the group handed in their errands and gathered in the room in the northeast corner to play money. I don't know when they were sneaked into the house, and there was no sound.
Xi killed them."
Li Youdao asked coldly: "Didn't you catch the assassin?"
The housekeeper looked guilty and said: "When the bodies were found, their blood had been shed all over the floor, and the assassins had long since disappeared."
Li Youdao gritted his teeth: "Trash! You haven't even touched the other party's shadow. What's the use of searching for someone now with a torch? Are you beating gongs and drums to let Quan Chang'an know that someone in my house is embarrassed?"
The steward was startled and hurriedly ordered the searching troops and servants to withdraw.
Li Youdao stared at the corpses in front of him, not bothering to count, and asked coldly: "How many people did the assassin kill?"
"Thirteen people."
Li Youdao's breathing became heavier and heavier, and a violent anger filled his chest.
It no longer mattered who the assassin was, he knew who was behind it.
Yesterday, he sent people to kill horses at the entrance of Ganjingzhuang Village, and there happened to be thirteen horses. Li Qinzai came back with revenge.
The difference is that Li Youdao killed horses, while Li Qinzai killed people directly in his house.
Coupled with the revenge of being plotted and humiliated by Wu Minzhi tonight, Li Youdao's emotions are on the verge of collapse.
The housekeeper asked eagerly: "Mr. Lang, do we want to report to the official position?"
Li Youdao glared at him angrily: "What kind of official should I report to? I am the official, the young minister of Dali Temple who specializes in punishment. What's the use of reporting to the official? Do you have the evidence? Who made the first move? Once the official is reported, the whole Zhao family will be affected." The entire Li family will be involved!"
"Send people back to the Li family's ancestral home quickly and tell the ancestor of the family to ask the ancestor to send people to Chang'an to help me. This hatred is irreconcilable!" Li Youdao finally roared violently.
…………
Li Qinzai led his troops to leave Ganjingzhuang and rush to Chang'an.
It was not his intention to leave this time. He originally planned to accompany Cui Jie at home to give birth, but with Li Ji's summons, Li Qinzai had no choice but to hit the road.
A group of people rode horses and rushed to Chang'an City. They dismounted outside the city and led the horses slowly into the city.
Turning from Yanpingmen to Zhuque Street, the way forward was blocked by a huge crowd.
Li Qinzai looked around and saw a sea of people on Zhuque Street, many of them young people, and more of them just ordinary people watching the excitement.
Li Qinzai was not in the mood to watch the excitement, and was about to tell the music to be diverted when he suddenly heard an excited shout from the crowd.
"How can a young man with a yellow mouth be allowed to take the imperial examination to take the imperial examination? At such a weak age, he holds the power of life and death for tens of thousands of candidates. How can he be so virtuous and occupy such a prominent position? We, the imperial supervisors, are not convinced!"
Countless young people echoed, raised their fists in the air and cheered.
Li Qinzai stopped and his expression became cold.
He could tell that this sentence was directed at him. In other words, the group of young people making trouble on Zhuque Street had gathered to protest against Li Zhi's appointment of him as the chief examiner of the calculation department.
Observing the clothing of these young people carefully, it turns out that most of them are in shabby clothes. They are obviously from poor families. I don't know who has been deceived by them, but they gathered together to cause trouble.
For a moment, Li Qinzai suddenly felt chilled. Not only was everything he did for them not understood, but he was scolded and boycotted.
So, what is the significance of what I have done these days?
Liu Asi next to him also sensed something was wrong. He raised his thick eyebrows and took two steps forward to scold him, but was stopped by Li Qinzai.
"Fifth Young Master, how can you condone such slander and contempt?" Liu Asi said dissatisfied.
Li Qinzai smiled faintly: "What should I do? Let these people line up, and I will slap them all the way with the soles of my shoes? Or should the reporting officer arrest them all?"
Liu Asi gritted his teeth and said: "Others don't know it, but the villain can see it clearly. In order to stand out for these poor people, the Fifth Young Master not only threatened himself and his family, but also was slandered and scolded by the court. He was also spread rumors and slander, and had his whole body dirty." Shui, Fifth Young Master, what are we trying to do?"
Li Qinzai was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "I am not doing it all for the children of poor families. What is important is that the scientific examination system must be implemented, fair and just, and start from oneself. Only then will the children of poor families for thousands of years have a chance to get ahead, and the country will not be ruined." Buried talent.”
"What do the current disputes and misunderstandings mean in the thousands of years of history? It is not even a wave."
Liu Asi didn't seem to understand, so he had to say: "Fifth Young Master, should we change the route?"
Li Qinzai was about to agree, but a voice suddenly came from the rioting crowd: "He is Li Qinzai, the Marquis of Weinan County!"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
Of course, what was even more embarrassing was the Imperial College students. They all knew what they were doing just now. Those slogans were still echoing on Zhuque Street. At this moment, the master appeared, but for some reason no one dared to say anything.
Since it had been discovered, there was no need to change the route. Li Qinzai was too lazy to take a detour, so he smiled politely at the supervisors: "Excuse me, please give way..."
The supervisors silently made way for a spacious and deserted avenue on Zhuque Street. The soldiers led their horses through the crowd, and Li Qinzai smiled and nodded to the supervisors frequently.
The prison guards lowered their heads with some guilt, avoided Li Qinzai's gaze, and unconsciously took a few steps back.
Passing through the crowd easily, Li Qinzai's eyes suddenly opened up.
Seeing that there was silence and no movement behind him, Li Qinzai turned around curiously and encouraged: "Go on, don't delay the meal. After finishing the work, go back to the Imperial College for dinner."
The supervisors nodded dumbly.
Someone in the crowd shouted again: "The country is unfair. How can people with no talent or virtue steal the position of examiner and control the future of thousands of my candidates? It's unfair, unfair!"
"unfair!"
"unfair!"
Someone took the lead, and all the supervisors suddenly became enthusiastic again, and they all raised their arms and echoed. The atmosphere that had been destroyed by Li Qinzai was instantly restored to its original state. The scene was filled with impassioned excitement, which made people excited.
Li Qinzai glanced at it, turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, he suddenly looked up to the sky and burst into laughter.
The laughter is so fierce that it can be heard in the sky.
