Happy Little Scholar
Chapter 538: Borrowing a Knife
"I..." Zeng Zuimo looked at Li Yi with a worried look on his face, but hesitated to speak.
"What am I, I want to eat." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Are there any more melon seeds? I still want creamy ones."
Zeng Zuimo took out a small bag embroidered with flowers from his waist and said, "The creamy ones are gone, only the five-flavored ones are left."
"Forget it, I can eat whatever I need." Li Yi nodded, looked at the two brocade boxes she placed on the table, and asked, "What are these?"
"A gift for Bing Ning and Xin Yi." Perhaps because Li Yi's indifference infected her, Zeng Zuimo felt a little relaxed and said.
"What? What gift?" After hearing the gift, Tsundere Loli put down the drumstick and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said.
"It's not something expensive. Open it and see if you like it." Zeng Zuimo handed over the brocade box and said with a smile on his face.
"Wow, there's a gift!" Tsundere Loli still has a young girl's heart and couldn't wait to take the brocade box. Her and Yongning's names were written on the two brocade boxes respectively. She handed the other one to Yongning and gave her own The brocade box was quickly opened.
"So beautiful." When she saw what was lying in the brocade box, the arrogant Loli couldn't help but exclaimed.
Li Yi looked at it and found that it was a bracelet. This kind of accessory was very common in later generations, but naturally it does not exist now.
He once told Zeng Zuimo that he could open a jewelry store in the future and sell it together with ready-made clothes. Of course, it is naturally impossible to use gems, which are also very precious in this world. The premise is that he burns out the glass first, which can greatly Reduce the cost, but this idea may take a long time.
After all, crystal clear things are very expensive. Even if ordinary glass is sold for the price of gemstones, countless people will rush to buy it. The profit is unimaginably huge, even far exceeding that of perfume. It is not suitable to take out the strong liquor too early at this time.
The items on these two bracelets were naturally not glass, but they were still precious. With Zeng Zuimo's current net worth, he could easily buy these.
And this strange-looking bracelet should have been designed by her herself. Although the tsundere loli was in the palace and had seen countless jewelry, it was impossible for her to have seen anything like this.
"Thank you, Sister Zeng!" After the arrogant Loli came to her senses, she smiled sweetly at Zeng Zuimo. After thinking for a moment, she took the other chicken drumstick from her bowl to her.
"Thank you, sister." Yongning was not as excited as she was, but he looked very happy.
Zeng Zuimo looked at the two of them, then at the door, and said worriedly, "They..."
Li Yi put a piece of tofu in her bowl and said, "Don't worry, people who disturb others' eating usually have no good consequences. Eat it quickly, it will really cool down after a while."
Xiaocui was really about to burst into tears. Those people outside were vicious and looked like they were not good people. They were all going to call for official duties. How could the young lady and Mr. Li still eat?
With tears in her eyes, she picked up a piece of tofu.
"Oh, this tofu is so delicious. No wonder it only costs three taels of silver. You have to try it..."
…
…
"This person is so bold and arrogant, I don't believe you can endure it until now." In another room, Prince Duanyang looked at Qin Yu and said.
Qin Yu lowered his head to drink a glass of wine without saying a word.
With his temperament, it is naturally impossible for him to let off those who offend him so easily.
However, on the surface, he couldn't do anything at all. These days, his grandfather was very strict with him and spent most of his time at home or recuperating from his injuries. In fact, he did a lot of things secretly.
However, the person he sent to follow him the first time was beaten up and thrown into a deep alley. The second time, his legs were broken directly. After that, he sent out secretly recruited martial arts masters, and the result was the same. Likewise, the Qin Mansion now has many people who have lost their hands and feet.
After that, he gave up any thoughts of secret revenge.
No matter how proud he was, he had to admit that he was helpless against Li Yi.
After beating the King of Shu, he originally pinned the matter on the King of Shu, but he did not expect that after the King of Shu came out of the palace, he became a good boy, studying at home all day long, or visiting some people in the court. Official, until now, he has not been able to see the King of Shu again.
The humiliation he suffered on the streets last time made him the laughing stock of the whole Kyoto, and he will never forget it.
When he met these two women again in Zuiyue Tower this time, he would naturally not let them go, but with Li Yi's intervention, he had to be careful.
The best way is to borrow a knife.
The sword he borrowed was from the imperial court. As long as he confirmed that the two women were related to the thief, the next thing would naturally fall into place.
No matter how arrogant he is and dares to interfere with the court's handling of the case, no one will spare him.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and a servant of the Qin Mansion walked in and said, "Master, Mr. Liu is here."
Qin Yu stood up from his seat, walked out of the door, cupped his hands to the person who had just walked up the stairs, and said with a smile: "This time I have caused trouble for Mr. Liu."
Today's capital magistrate Liu Dayou does not belong to the line of Qin Prime Minister. He once worked under Dong Wenyun, the Jing Zhao Yin, and Dong Wenyun's father-in-law was Prime Minister Shen, who had the same status as his grandfather.
Therefore, although he looked down upon the capital magistrate, his attitude at the moment should not be too arrogant.
"Young Master Qin's words are serious." Magistrate Liu also cupped his hands and said with a smile: "This is my official responsibility. You don't have to be polite, Young Master."
Qin Yu smiled and pointed at the young man beside him, saying, "This is the Prince of Duanyang."
Liu County Magistrate was shocked. He didn't expect that this matter would involve the Prince of Duanyang. He was a person he couldn't afford to offend. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your subordinate greets the Prince of Duanyang."
The young man waved his hand and said, "Sir, please do your business first. The two are in the room behind you."
When Liu County Magistrate heard this, he immediately became alert.
There is the Prince of Duanyang here, and there is also the young master Qin and these Kyoto dandies. Which one of them doesn't have a background? But they specially invited the officials to come. If you say that there is no inside story in this matter, he will never believe it.
However, as a county magistrate, this is indeed his duty. At this time, he can only bite the bullet.
"Sir, do you want to knock on the door?" Seeing that Liu County Magistrate pointed to the door, a yamen runner immediately asked.
The more than ten yamen runners who followed him had some excitement on their faces. They were doing things for these big shots. If they did a good job, County Magistrate Liu would definitely benefit, and so would they.
"Knock on the door." County Magistrate Liu glared at him and said.
A bunch of brainless people, if there was really something good, would these people let them come? This clearly meant trouble.
Before the yamen runner had time to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside. Li Yi looked at County Magistrate Liu standing at the door and said in surprise, "Hey, County Magistrate Liu, why are you here? Long time no see!"
County Magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a happy expression on his face, saying, "Sir Li, why are you here? It's been a long time since we last met."
For the former Li County Lieutenant, County Magistrate Liu was full of gratitude. If it weren't for him, he would probably still be waiting for retirement in the position of Anxi County Magistrate, and how could he sit on the position of Beijing City Magistrate? His future was even brighter. He was afraid that after several years or decades, he would be able to reach those highest positions.
Seeing the two of them standing at the door and chatting, Duanyang County Prince was stunned. After Qin Yu was stunned, his face gradually became gloomy.
The rest of the people looked at County Magistrate Liu, and they were extremely surprised. He was asked to come here to arrest someone, but who would have thought that this County Magistrate Liu would actually chat with the other party?
