At the beginning, Xiao Han and Liu Hongji thought that those gangsters would soon come back with revenge.
For this reason, the two took Lao Niu with them and made a lot of preparations for this.
But what is unexpected is that after waiting for half a month, they did not wait for any stick to arrive.
Even at sea, the warning fleet temporarily formed by the old captain did not find even a single Goguryeo ship coming nearby!
This situation was so unexpected by Xiao Han and the others that they both thought that they had hurt Goguryeo and were afraid of the beating. In addition, they were already at a loss and felt embarrassed, so they did not dare
When looking for trouble.
Of course, Xiao Han was not sure about whether Bangzi had a face or not.
However, just when Xiao Han and the others were almost impatient with waiting, they did not know that Chang'an City, which was far away in Guanzhong, had suddenly exploded at this moment!
"Hey, have you heard? Xiao Hou of Sanyuan County turned out to be a robber! He secretly ran away to Goguryeo with his men, and not only killed everyone in his yard, but also took away his family heirlooms!"
"Nonsense! I've heard about it a long time ago! Hey, I didn't expect that this Sanyuan County Marquis had a bad reputation in Chang'an before, but now he went straight to become a bandit and slaughtered his entire family..."
"Shh, let's keep our voices down, and be careful not to be heard by others! I have heard that the Marquis of Sanyuan County is very popular among the military generals in the court! If those big bosses hear this, be careful to get beaten..."
"Tch! What are you afraid of? This is the study, a place for us scholars. How can those rough guys who only know how to play with sticks and guns come here!"
Chang'an Chengdong City, second floor of Jingya Study.
At this moment, there are several well-dressed young scholars sitting around a table, talking about the strange things that have been reported in Chang'an recently, especially when they talk about Xiao Han running away and becoming a robber, their faces are even more expressionless.
of excitement!
It is said that literati look down on each other. Although Xiao Han is not a literati, who told him to rise so quickly? And he is so young?
It's like a group of chickens in a henhouse, digging in the dirt and eating, living a peaceful and comfortable life!
Suddenly, a red-crowned crane wandered into the chicken coop, so it's not that it's hated by others... Ahem, it's weird that it's not hated by the chickens!
We are all of the same age, so why can you sit in a high official position and ride a horse, but we can't even pass the exam to become a scholar?
Even when they return home, their parents and elders often tug at their ears and teach them: Look at the Marquis of Sanyuan County! Look at yourself!
Therefore, when they see Xiao Han's misfortune, they are naturally filled with gloating!
Of course, these few scholars are not the only ones who are also gloating at this moment!
In Chang'an City, there are some people who have enemies with Xiao Han and Liu Hongji.
Including those who had been beaten before, or those who had not been beaten, were even more eager to try, always ready to stand on the moral high ground and criticize these two scum in human skin!
The reason why Xiao Han and Liu Hongji went to Goguryeo to plunder was spread so quickly in Chang'an City.
That's because two days ago, a group of Goguryeo envoys suddenly arrived in Chang'an City!
Moreover, he was different from other envoys from other countries who immediately clamped their tails between their legs after entering Chang'an City.
Since this group of Goguryeo envoys came to Chang'an, just like the troupe who set up a stage to sing, they began to denounce the atrocities committed by Xiao Han and others everywhere, and at the same time promote their own innocence and misery!
As a result, everyone in Chang'an City now knew that Xiao Han had become a bandit and went to Goguryeo to rob.
At the beginning, some upright people were still popular, so they went to these Goguryeo people for their theories:
Are you deliberately setting up a frame-up? Why do you think that those bandits are Xiao Han and Liu Hongji of our Tang Dynasty? Is it possible that they, the Goguryeo people, still recognize these two people?
If you can't explain why today, we, the people of Chang'an, have not allowed you to experience the rich culture of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties!
As a result, when they saw someone jumping out to confront them, these Goguryeo envoys not only restrained themselves, but became even more energetic!
Each one jumped up and down and debated with those people for a long time. After attracting countless people to watch, they took out the engraved rubbings Liu Hongji left outside Bisha City!
On this, the names of Liu Hongji and Xiao Han are clearly visible! And the sentence "I am here for a visit" also completely dumbfounded all the people watching!
Now it's better. Seeing that someone even produced such conclusive evidence, those Chang'an people who were confident one moment immediately ran away in shame!
At the same time, while running, they did not forget to curse at the two of them in their hearts!
How could there be such a fool in this world?
Since we went to someone else's house to do bad things, why should we be sneaky?
As long as we don't get caught and deny it until we come back, it will be a fool's errand and no one can do anything about it!
But what about you?
After the robbery, you even left your name proudly. Aren't you afraid that others wouldn't know it was you? Can't they catch your pigtails?
Therefore, after the Goguryeo envoys took out Liu Hongji's inscription rubbings, all those who spoke for Xiao Han and others in Chang'an City immediately disappeared.
On the contrary, there are more and more people who are helping the Goguryeo people accuse Xiao Han and the others!
However, it is strange to say so.
Those who criticized Xiao Han and Liu Hongji were all the scholars in Jingya's study, or the imperial censor Yan Guan of Sesame Mung Bean.
Ordinary people in Chang'an City rarely agree with such words and deeds.
Even if I complain occasionally, it's because Liu Hongji and Xiao Han didn't live up to expectations, things were not handled well, and people came looking for me.
"Your Majesty, would you like to meet those Goguryeo envoys as soon as possible? Recently I heard that they are making a lot of noise in Chang'an, and many scholars are already dissatisfied with Xiao Han and the others."
In the Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Palace.
Empress Changsun came to Li Shimin who was reviewing the memorial with a heavy heart, and said to him about committing suicide.
However, when Li Shimin heard this, he didn't take it seriously at all.
After carefully reading the memorial in my hand, I took up my pen and wrote the four bright red characters "Bullshit".
He then threw the memorial on the table, turned around and said with a smile to the worried Empress Changsun: "Guanyin, don't worry so much! Didn't Xiao Han and the others just go to Goguryeo to get something? What a big deal? This is a big deal.
If we talk about it seriously, we are treating others the same way they are treated! Since they can do the first grade of junior high school, why can't we do the fifteenth grade?"
