Chapter 36: An ambitious idea that has been suppressed for more than ten years
On the vermilion door that is 10 feet wide and 10 feet high, the bronze beast door knocker sways slightly in the breeze, and white flags hang above the door, indicating that there is a funeral in the house.
Wang Liu knocked on the door knocker, and the door opened a gap.
A middle-aged servant wearing a blue cotton coat and mourning jacket, with tiredness written all over his face, poked his head out.
When his bloodshot eyes saw Wang Liuyi dressed in the black clothes of a torture chamber official, he felt irritated and frowned.
"Isn't the case closed? Why are you still here?"
A small servant in the Li Mansion actually despises the government officials so much, and he is also a "notorious" torture chamber official.
In an instant, Ye Qing knew that the Li Mansion had a good foundation.
Wang Liu was not angry and said with a smile: "Isn't the case closed? I'll come over and ask Mr. Li if he has any other instructions."
The servant frowned and was about to speak.
Wang Liu stepped forward and whispered: "The former prison chief Liu Weikang has gone in to prevent any changes."
Suddenly, the servant's expression changed instantly, and without saying a word, he opened the door a little.
Wang Liuyi waved, and Ye Qing, who was standing on the side, quickly followed.
Only then did the servant see Ye Qing's figure. Seeing that he was wearing a gray cotton coat but had an extraordinary temperament, he immediately became vigilant.
He just raised his hand, ready to stop him.
Ye Qing took the opportunity and said, "Official Wang, I have never seen the world. What will you say when you see Mr. Li?"
Junxiu's face was full of anxiety, and he rubbed his hands nervously.
Wang Liu paused for a moment, then turned around and saw Ye Qing's appearance. He suddenly understood and immediately frowned and scolded:
"You kid, just treat Mr. Li with more respect when you see me, don't talk too much, and be careful to bump into Mr. Li."
"We are kind-hearted and brought you to see the world, so don't lose our people!"
As he said this, Wang Liu gave Ye Qing a kick on his calf, neither gently nor hard.
Ye Qing also stumbled a few steps, squeezed out a flattering smile in embarrassment and said: "Yes, yes, I remember it."
After standing firm, Ye Qing hurriedly stepped forward and stood behind Wang Liu, playing the role of follower with a low eyebrow.
The servant stopped blocking him, glanced at Ye Qing with disdain, and led the way.
After crossing the huge screen wall carved with blessings, auspicious clouds and ingots.
Ye Qing's eyes suddenly brightened.
Walking in the corridor, he looked at the spacious courtyard and couldn't help but slow down. His mouth opened slightly, his eyes widened, and his face was completely shocked.
The servant leading the way saw this scene from the corner of his eye, and his heart calmed down, while the contempt in his eyes became even stronger.
He warned arrogantly: "That boy, don't look around. Watch the road. Don't get lost. Otherwise, you may be bitten by the dog in the house."
dog?
Ye Qing, who was moved in his heart, pretended to be timid, lowered his head and said: "Yes, yes!"
After the servant snorted coldly and turned away, Ye Qing quickened his pace and followed Wang Liu closely. Using the cover of his figure, he continued to look around.
He sighed in his heart: "The roads are paved with cobblestones, dotted with rain flower stones. There are rockeries and rocks in the garden, and there are exotic flowers and plants everywhere. There is even a white marble pavilion built in the middle of the small lake in the front yard."
"This corridor is also beautifully carved and painted. Everything looks like the luxurious manor in the previous life."
"Li Mansion is really rich. No wonder the servants are so arrogant and don't even look at anyone."
Ye Qing, who has traveled through this world and lived for more than ten years, saw for the first time the houses where rich people live in this world.
If a merchant's house is like this, how luxurious should a wealthy man's house be?
So what is the existence of the imperial palace in Yuyang, Kyoto?
Ye Qing couldn't help but think of the Forbidden City modeling video he saw online in his previous life.
The use of technology to restore the original appearance of the palace is so majestic and beautiful.
If you want to come to the imperial city of Yuyang in Kyoto, you won’t have to give in too much.
Ye Qing couldn't help but be filled with yearning.
In this life, not to mention that he can enter the imperial city to take a look, maybe after working hard, there will be a house that is inferior to this Li Mansion.
He lives there, leisurely and contented, and takes care of himself until his old age.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing clenched his fists and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.
Before, I just wanted to earn more money so that my sister could live a good life and provide for Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang until the end of her life.
If possible, marry a virtuous wife, have a fat boy, and live a peaceful life.
But the previous thoughts disappeared like smoke at this moment.
When they first came through time travel, the thoughts that everyone in the time-traveling army would have had. The thoughts that had been suppressed for more than ten years, which could be called ambitions, broke out of their cocoons at this moment and were out of control.
Ye Qing said with determination: "This case must be solved."
…
In the main hall of Li Mansion.
In Huaiyang City, Li Yuanwai Li Jiaxu, known as Li Dashanren, was wearing white brocade silk and a white mourning jacket, sitting on the main seat.
He has black and white hair, a thin square face, thick wrinkled eyebrows, a hooked nose full of oil, and tight lips. The whole person looks haggard and sad.
"Master, the arrangements have been made."
A middle-aged man with shrewd eyes and a goatee bowed to Li Jiaxu with a heavy expression.
"Well, let's go down."
Li Jiaxu waved his hands and continued to sigh.
The butler Han Qi did not move, his brows furrowed even deeper. After two breaths, he tentatively asked: "Master, why don't you bury it as soon as possible? I'm always worried that something will happen."
Anger appeared on Li Jiaxu's face, and his originally pale face turned abnormally red.
He raised his finger and pointed at Han Qi, angrily yelling: "Go away, talk about this again, I don't mind letting you go down and be my son's housekeeper."
Han Qi, who was trembling all over, turned pale, hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Li Jiaxu, and begged for mercy: "Master, I made a mistake, please calm down."
"I told you to get out!"
Li Jiaxu stood up and kicked Han Qi to the ground.
Han Qi, who didn't dare to talk nonsense, rolled and crawled out of the main hall.
Li Jiaxu flicked his sleeves and sat back on the chair angrily.
He picked up the tea next to him and drank it all in one gulp, and then his face looked better.
Only ten breaths have passed.
Han Qi ran in quickly, with worry on his face.
Li Jiaxu, who was still angry, stared at him when he saw him like this, and growled: "What are you doing here again?"
"Sir, the prison officer came with a follower. He said it was about a case and that the jailer, Liu Weikang, was demoted to prison by Magistrate Chen for corruption and perverting the law."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiaxu's anger disappeared, he frowned, touched his half-century beard, thought for a few moments, and said:
"Bring the people in, and lock them up. Don't let anyone get close. Tell the whole government that if anyone dares to talk too much, I will chop him up and feed him to the dogs."
The harsh words that do not take human life seriously came from the mouth of Li Jiaxu, a man named Li Dashan, which made people shudder.
"Yes, sir!"
Han Qi looked at the expressionless Li Jiaxu in fear and quickly backed away.
After a few breaths.
The servant who opened the door led Wang Liu and Ye Qing into the gorgeously decorated main hall of Li Mansion.
Ye Qing stepped on the soft carpet embroidered with ingots and Ruyi, and carefully looked at Mr. Li who looked haggard.
"A certain person is Wang Liu, an official in the execution chamber. I have met Mr. Li."
After Wang Liu stood still, he smiled flatteringly and bowed towards Li Jiaxu with his fists clasped, his posture very low.
Ye Qing also followed suit and saluted him.
At the main seat, Li Jiaxu waved his hand and refused to let him sit down. He asked in a hoarse voice:
"Wang Liu, right? Why are you here with me?"
"This harassment is really a helpless act. I ask for Mr. Li's forgiveness. The prefect has said that there is a problem with this case. Let us check it out!"
Wang Liu still had a flattering smile, but he straightened his back.
The expression of the servant on the side changed greatly. He glanced at the master in panic and fear, then pointed at Wang Liu and trembled: "You, that's not what you said when you called the door!"
