Gao Shiqi was stunned after hearing this: Li Guangdi had just stabbed himself in the morning, so why did he entrust his wife and children to him in the blink of an eye? What kind of medicine was he selling in this gourd? He thought that the woman and two children outside were here to defect.
My own, otherwise how can I find my own house?
Zhao Qiang didn't know what was going on and looked at Gao Shiqi without knowing why. Li Guangdi knew about it, but his wife and children came outside the house, but he didn't know what happened.【】
Several thoughts passed through Gao Shiqi's mind, but he couldn't figure out what Li Guangdi was doing. Seeing the concierge still standing there, he couldn't help scolding him: "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Hurry up and bring him here."
"yes."
The porter bowed and agreed, then hesitated and said: "But the three of them... I really don't look like official relatives. Sir, you haven't seen it. The woman's clothes are as torn as a beggar's, and her shoes are also blooming."
It seems that they don’t look like Mr. Li’s family members, so I’m wondering if they are a liar..."
"Huh? Really?" Gao Shiqi was stunned again. What kind of performance was this? Even Zhao Qiang was stunned, but he didn't know what happened, so he kept silent and just sat there holding a tea bowl and saying nothing.
.
"This is rare. In this case, you go and invite them in and let me see it. Let's find out whether it is true or false." After thinking for a moment, Gao Shiqi decided to bring the people here first, regardless of whether it is true or false. If it is false,
, and blasted him out with random sticks. If it was true, he would have to interrogate him. What did Li Guangdi, the bastard, want to do? He couldn't even care about helping Mi Qing appraise paintings.
When the concierge saw that the master wanted to see someone, he stopped talking and went back to fetch someone. After a short time, he brought a young woman in ragged clothes. Gao Shiqi looked her over and saw that she was nothing.
He was in his mid-twenties, with a slender figure, an oval face and two slender eyebrows. Although his face looked haggard, his eyes were twinkling and appeared to be very energetic.
The woman was still holding a child with one hand. Before Gao Shiqi could say anything, she squatted down for two Wanfu, then knelt down and said softly: "My concubine Li Xiuqin comes to see Master Gao..."
Gao Shiqi supported him slightly with his hand and said: "I don't think you should do this. Madam, please come up. Mr. Li Guangdi is the honored minister of this emperor, and Gao relies on him a lot. How can Madam be so polite?" In terms of rank, Li Guangdi
She is the minister of etiquette of the second rank, and Gao Shiqi is only the bachelor of the third rank, so if this woman is really Li Guangdi's wife, she is considered to have a royal title, and it is impossible to pay any tribute to him anyway.
Therefore, when Gao Shiqi saw this woman saluting him, he became suspicious.
He winked at the concierge and said, "I won't give Mrs. Li a seat!"
"Yes, sir." The concierge moved a stool and asked the woman to sit down.
Li Xiuqin sat down, took the tea from the servant, and said with a blushing face: "Speaking to your lord, this is of course etiquette. A humble concubine is not a good match for me..." As he said that, he handed the tea to the child on his left hand and trembled.
He said in a loud voice: "Guoxing, drink some and give it to your brother..." The child took the tea and only drank half a sip before passing it to the child on his right hand and said: "Guobang, drink..." Guobang was probably extremely thirsty.
, took it and drank it down.
Gao Shiqi noticed that the two brothers had the same height, the same attire, and the same appearance. They were about seven or eight years old. They turned out to be twin brothers. He then asked: "Excuse Gao, I dare to ask why Mrs. Li fell into this state."
So far? Why don’t you go see Mr. Li and come to my house?”
After hearing this, Li Xiuqin's eyes suddenly turned red and she choked up: "We, mother and son, sold all their belongings and traveled all the way north from Hangzhou to the capital. We didn't want to, but we were turned away by the Li Mansion, and we, mother and son, were not allowed to see the light of day.
The ground." As he said that, tears were already falling.
"Why, didn't you inform Mr. Li?" Gao Shiqi was very surprised. Since she was Li Guangdi's concubine, why was she in Hangzhou, and why didn't the people of the Li family let them see Li Guangdi?
However, Zhao Qiang could tell that Li Guangdi was also a Chen Shimei from the Qing Dynasty. Hehe, this guy has always been respected by future generations as a "gentleman" and "Mr. Taoism" in history. Unexpectedly, he had an affair with Zhu Xi.
It is also a fake Taoism, and it is also very dirty behind the scenes.
Li Xiuqin kept sobbing and her sleeves were wet with tears. She only kept her voice quiet. I don't know whether it was Guobang or Guoxing. Seeing her mother crying so hard, she actually coaxed her mother up like a little adult: "Mom, don't cry, mother."
, don’t cry.” Li Xiuqin couldn’t help it anymore and covered her face with tears and said, “Yes…but he…he refuses to recognize us…”
"What?!"
Gao Shiqi was shocked when he heard this and stood up without a sound. He looked at Li Xiuqin in disbelief and didn't know whether he should believe her words. You must know that Li Guangdi's family is a famous family in Fujian and he is an important minister in the court. How could he abandon his concubine and his son like this?
What happened? This sounds so fantastic that it makes people believe it at all. Although Gao Shiqi hates Li Guangdi to the core, he will not question his behavior as a human being, public or private, or malicious treatment of others.
He didn't even bother to do it.
After the shock, Gao Shiqi pondered for a moment. He didn't dare to believe what Li Xiuqin said, so he asked: "How old are the two young masters this year? How could they be born in Hangzhou?" The implication is that Li Guangdi is from Fuzhou, so you are his concubine.
Waiter, mother and son should not live in Hangzhou. This location is suspicious at first.
"Sir, it's okay not to ask. If you suspect that I pretended to be an official, please punish me; if you believe me, take me to the imperial court and ask the emperor to make the decision for our mother and son! If you are not willing to help my mother and son, then forget it.
I owe you this glass of water, and I will pay you back one day." After saying this, he stood up.
Li Xiuqin said these words in a gentle voice, but with deep resentment. Gao Shiqi was stunned when he heard this, but he really believed it, because since Li Xiuqin dared to ask him to take her to see the emperor, he must be afraid.
This identity should be true. Seeing that she was about to leave, how could Gao Shiqi let her go? He quickly explained: "No, no, no, please don't misunderstand. I have no intention of doubting you. If you really pretend to be an official, how can you let her go?"
Dare you come with me to the imperial court? However, this matter is related to Mr. Li's reputation, and I need to consider it carefully." After saying this, the porter glanced at him and ordered: "Madam and the two young gentlemen must be hungry, please ask the kitchen to prepare meals as soon as possible." After a pause.
After a pause, he said again: "You can ask someone to go to the street to buy some clothes."
"Thank you, sir!" Li Xiuqin could carry it on her own, but the two children were so hungry that they were "gurgling". Moreover, her only hope was to become a bachelor in this high school. She was not being pretentious at the moment and just followed the arrangements of the servants.
It was time to eat. As soon as the three people here left, Gao Shiqi let out a long breath and smiled at Zhao Qiang: "God help me! Haha, Li Guangdi, Li Guangdi, I have always said that you are a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be like this."
You have no regard for human relations, and you bully the emperor! How can you have the face to stand in court this time! Humph?"
"Sir, may I have the guts to ask, who is this Li Guangdi?" Zhao Qiang didn't know about Li Guangdi's impeachment of Gao Shiqi. When Gao Shiqi mentioned Li Guangdi's gritted teeth, as if he had some deep hatred, he couldn't help but be very curious. He didn't dare to ask directly.
Why did Gao Shiqi have such a big hatred against Li Guangdi? The only way is to ask who Li Guangdi is and get Gao Shiqi to tell him.
With Li Xiuqin and these two children, Gao Shiqi dared to say that Li Guangdi was definitely ugly this time, and would lose all face in the eyes of the emperor. He was afraid that he would be scolded in the future for abandoning his wife and children.
What credibility does the impeachment of this person have, and can he protect himself indirectly? With the help of Prime Minister Ming, it is impossible to say that today’s big trouble will disappear. In a happy mood, Zhao Qiang did not regard Zhao Qiang as an outsider, so he decided to go to court today
I told Zhao Qiang what happened.
"This little slander has been framed on me, leaving me speechless. I didn't expect it, but God helped me. I actually got Li Xiuqin and her son out of thin air. They knew about Li Guangdi's scandal. Haha, this time it's really exciting. When the three of them are finished
Food, I will take them into the palace right away!" Gao Shiqi became more and more excited as he spoke, and he did not notice that his spittle splashed into Zhao Qiang's face. Fortunately, Zhao Qiang did not react, otherwise he might have been a little embarrassed.
"Listen to what my lord says, this Li Guangdi is really not a good person. He dares to frame your lord, but he is still an important minister of the imperial court! Huh, if such a person had been born in our clan, I would have kidnapped him and put him in the river. Where?
Allow him to stay in this world and harm people!" After hearing this, Zhao Qiang also looked angry, showing his contempt and hatred for Li Guangdi. Gao Shiqi took it to his liking, and his words were a bit rough, but he just listened! However, Zhao Qiang changed the topic
He said: "But have you ever thought about it, sir? If Li Guangdi tried his best to deny the matter and said that he did not know that the mother and son came to Beijing beforehand, it was actually because the servants in the family did not know that they drove the mother and son away, so that Li Xiuqin mistakenly thought that she
He didn't recognize them, so he came to beg you to take them to the imperial court to ask the emperor to make a decision. In this case, how can your lord explain? Also, everyone knows that Li Guangdi just impeached your lord today, and in the blink of an eye, your lord brought the mother and son to the imperial court to sue him.
In the eyes of the emperor and outsiders, this might be a bit suspicious?"
"this"
After hearing Zhao Qiang's words, Gao Shiqi, who was in high spirits, suddenly became dumbfounded, like a basin of cold water being poured on him. Yes, if Li Guangdi denies it, I did not ask for it by rashly bringing the person to the emperor.
Is it hard to eat? If you don't do it well, it will make the sin worse.
Seeing Gao Shiqi like this, Zhao Qiang smiled softly and said, "My lord, you don't have to worry. If you want to secure Li Guangdi without damaging your lord at all, there are many ways."
Gao Shiqi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "What wonderful idea does the proprietor have? Please tell me quickly!"
