Following Wang Yong, the recent rising star in the court, the Minister of Rites, also led his son away.
The conversation between the two people was not deliberately lowered, but the people in the restaurant could hear it clearly.
Ten thousand taels. Just because a few drops of wine were splashed on the girl's clothes, the Wei family had to pay ten thousand taels of silver to compensate. This price was really high and unbelievable.
Of course, those who can sit here and eat are not ordinary people at the bottom. They naturally have more political sense than ordinary people.
Officialdom has always been like a battlefield. The situation in the court changes day by day, let alone five months. Everyone knows that Li County Marquis and the Qin family have always been at odds with the Shu king's line. In fact, before he left Kyoto, the Shu king's line
There were many movements in the dark, and many people with a keen sense of smell noticed the depressing feeling that a storm was coming.
However, Li Xianhou left Kyoto at that moment, and the son of the Minister of Works rounded up and killed two women in the street. Then he and the Minister of Works were also investigated. Overnight, he changed from a high-ranking official to a subordinate.
Prisoner...
His Majesty was very angry about this. During that period, for fear of provoking the Holy Wrath again, the King of Shu naturally did not dare to do anything outrageous. However, as time passed, they began to get ready to take action again.
It happened that His Majesty was ill and the court was closed early. Except for major matters, all other matters were left to the Minister of Finance for decision-making. As a result, their various methods became more and more unscrupulous.
However, Marquis Li is back, so what happened today cannot be easily understood.
This is a response, a demonstration, and it can also be said that it is a declaration to those who hide behind it.
Thinking of what happened five months ago, some people were secretly shocked.
I'm afraid there's going to be another big turmoil in Kyoto...
After the Minister of Rites, several more powerful officials came one after another, of course they were all the dandy parents upstairs.
This meal was very unsettling, and Li Yi felt a little regretful. The good atmosphere was ruined by these blind guys.
He knew some of these people, and some had never even heard of their names. It seemed that a lot had happened in Kyoto in the past few months.
He didn't have much thought to greet the others. After all, except for Wei Junliang, most of the people were sitting peacefully on it. He was too embarrassed to blackmail them again - there was no suitable reason for asking them to compensate.
Can't it be done in the name of being displeased?
This is too much.
After a little exercise, I warmed up, and my mood improved a lot. I was too lazy to deal with those people anymore, so I left all the miscellaneous powerful officials to Magistrate Liu to deal with.
Seeing that both women stopped using their chopsticks, Li Yi also put down his chopsticks and asked, "Are you full? If so, let's go."
Wan Ruoqing and Zeng Zuimo looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Li Yi turned back to look at Magistrate Liu, "Mr. Liu, I'm going to trouble you here..."
"No trouble, no trouble..."
Magistrate Liu waved his hands repeatedly. If he was alone today, he would naturally not be able to control such a situation. However, with Magistrate Li standing behind him, the families of those above did not need to worry too much.
While the two were talking, several more people came in from outside.
Every time someone comes in, a small commotion breaks out.
"Who is this again?"
"I don't know. Is there such a number one person in the circle of officials and dignitaries in Kyoto?"
"I don't even know this person. Isn't this the fifth master of the Qin family..."
After being awakened by one person, everyone suddenly realized.
Ding Xingwang, a member of the Qin family, has five sons under the Qin Prime Minister's knees, three of whom are officials in the court. When the Qin family's power was at its peak, they held important positions in the Shangshu Province and were directly involved in government affairs. Although the Qin family's current power cannot be compared with that
Compared with the times, it should not be underestimated.
The fourth master of the Qin family is a low-key person. Although he does not participate in government affairs, he has considerable influence in the business world.
Only the fifth master of the Qin family has no talent, but in terms of fame, in the Qin family, he is probably second only to the biggest dandy in Kyoto, Young Master Qin.
There is no other reason. A scandal that broke out in the Qin family two years ago and shocked the entire Kyoto happened to Master Qin.
Young Master Qin, who had always had a special fetish for married women, suddenly turned his attention to his uncle.
While he was drunk, he raped the concubine whom the fifth master of the Qin family had adopted. After being bumped into by the fifth master of the Qin family, he even kicked him out of the house.
The concubine couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide on the spot. This incident was a big deal at first and caused an uproar throughout Kyoto. Later, for some unknown reason, it was ignored. After that, Young Master Qin was still Young Master Qin, the fifth master of the Qin family.
But he is no longer the fifth master of the Qin family.
His identity has become his shame. Because of his identity as the fifth master of the Qin family, everyone is flattering and flattering on the surface, but secretly they are ridiculing and disdain...
No matter how prosperous the Qin family becomes in the future, the fifth master of the Qin family will never be able to raise his head again.
Magistrate Liu came over. Li Yi's eyes briefly met with the strong man behind the middle-aged man and then quickly moved away. Zeng Zuimo and Wan Ruoqing stood up, but the latter's body swayed. If it hadn't been for Li
Yi Jianji held on, fearing he would fall to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Li Yi asked with concern.
Wan Ruoqing frowned slightly and said, "It seems like it was bumped just now."
When she was avoiding that person just now, her calf hit the table and chair. At that time, she was nervous and didn't feel anything. After she relaxed completely, she felt waves of pain...
Zeng Zuimo walked over to support her instead of Li Yi. Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Can you still go?"
"It's okay."
Wan Ruoqing shook his head. With Zeng Zuimo's support, although walking was a bit difficult, he was able to move slowly.
Qin Yu had no communication with the fifth master of the Qin family. When he came down the stairs, he walked straight out of the restaurant without looking at Li Yi.
Li Yi and the two girls walked out, and happened to see Zeng Shichun, the minister of household affairs, rushing over. He looked at Zeng Zuimo with extremely surprised eyes, and Zeng Zuimo lowered his head and said nothing.
On the street, seeing Wan Ruoqing frowning slightly every time she took a step, Li Yi felt that the asking price for the dress just now was still a little too low, and it was cheaper than the one named Wei.
However, after all, he is also a man of his word. It is difficult to take back what he says. It is not appropriate to raise the price now. If he cannot send the money before tomorrow, the compensation will be doubled. It is reasonable and reasonable. I want to come to the other party.
There is nothing to say.
"It hurts?"
The streets were bustling with people and carriages could not pass. Looking at Wan Ruoqing's frown, Li Yi finally stopped and asked.
Wan Ruoqing shook her head and said with a smile, "It's okay."
Without even relaxing his brows, the smile looked a little forced. Li Yi walked up to her, squatted down, and said, "Come up."
"ah?"
Wan Ruoqing was slightly startled, but when she understood what he meant, her pretty face turned red.
He is different from all the men she knows. Although she has tried hard to adapt to the way they get along, she still feels that sharing food with each other during meals is the limit of what she can do.
This was something she had only gotten used to after a long time, because when he said these words, his eyes were always as clear as water, without any evil thoughts.
Apart from him, if it were anyone else, she would probably regard him as a scoundrel and not look good on him.
However, getting used to it is getting used to it. If I was carried on his back like this, walking through the crowded streets, and being watched by so many people...
Just thinking about it made her cheeks feel a little hot.
Zeng Zuimo also looked at this scene in a daze. At this time, Li Yi had already spoken to urge him.
"It's getting dark when we walk back like this." Li Yi looked back and said, "Hurry up, it's not the first time anyway."
The first time he mentioned was naturally the time when she came out of Prince Ning's Mansion and fainted due to high fever when she was in Qing'an Mansion.
Zeng Zuimo turned his head with some difficulty: "No..., the first time?"
[ps: Considering the suggestions of book friends, I added a follow-up to "Yongning Chapter". I will sort it out and post it on the public account, so that the ending will be happy. ]
