Happy Little Scholar

After Wang Yong, the rising star of the court, Wei Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, also left with his son.

The two did not deliberately lower their voices during their conversation, but the people in the restaurant heard it clearly.

Ten thousand taels, just because the girl's clothes were splashed with a few drops of wine, the Wei family had to pay ten thousand taels of silver as compensation. This price was really unbelievable.

Those who can sit here to eat are of course not ordinary people at the bottom. Compared with ordinary people, they naturally have more political sense.

The officialdom has always been like a battlefield. The situation in the court changes every 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 family. In fact, before he left Kyoto, the Shu King's family had made many secret moves. The sense of oppression that the storm was about to come was noticed by many people with a keen sense of smell.

However, Li Xianhou left the capital at that time, and it happened that the son of the Minister of Works killed two women in the street. Then, the Minister of Works was investigated. Overnight, he went from a senior official to a prisoner...

Your Majesty was furious about this. During that time, fearing that they would provoke the emperor's anger again, the Shu Wang family naturally did not dare to do anything out of line. However, as time went on, they began to stir again.

It happened that Your Majesty was ill and did not hold the morning court. Except for major events, all other matters were decided by the Shangshu Province. In this way, their various methods became more and more unscrupulous.

However, Li Xianhou came back, and today's events naturally could not be simply understood.

This was a response, a demonstration, or a declaration to those who were hiding behind.

Thinking of what happened five months ago, some people were secretly shocked.

This capital, I'm afraid there will be another big storm...

After the Minister of Rites, several more powerful officials came one after another, of course, they were all the parents of the dandy upstairs.

This meal was very uneasy, Li Yi felt a little regretful, the good atmosphere was ruined by these blind guys.

He knew some of these people, and some of them he had never heard of. It seems that a lot of things have happened in Kyoto in the past few months.

He didn't have the heart to greet the others. After all, except for Wei Junliang, most of them were sitting there peacefully. He was embarrassed to blackmail them again------and asked them to pay compensation without a suitable reason. It can't be in the name of dislike, right?

This is too much.

After a little exercise and warming up, I felt much better. I was too lazy to deal with those people, so those miscellaneous powerful officials were handed over to County Magistrate Liu to deal with.

Seeing that the two women stopped eating, 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 County Magistrate Liu, "Sir Liu, I'll trouble you here..."

"No trouble, no trouble..."

County Magistrate Liu waved his hands repeatedly. If he was alone today, he would naturally not be able to control such a scene. However, with County Marquis Li standing behind him, the families of those people above don't have to worry too much.

While the two were talking, several more people walked in from outside.

Every time someone came in, there would be a small noise in the room.

"Who is this?"

"I don't know him. Is there such a person in the circle of officials and dignitaries in Kyoto?"

"You 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.

The Qin family is prosperous. Prime Minister Qin has five sons, three of whom are officials in the court. When the Qin family was at its peak, the two held important positions in the Shangshu Province and were directly involved in the affairs of the court. Although the power of the Qin family cannot be compared with that time, it should not be underestimated.

The fourth master of the Qin family is a low-key person. Although he does not participate in the court, he has a considerable influence in the business world.

Only the fifth master of the Qin family has no talent, but in terms of fame, he is probably second only to the biggest playboy in Kyoto, the young master Qin.

The reason is simple. A scandal that shook the whole Kyoto two years ago broke out in the Qin family, which happened to the fifth master Qin.

The young master Qin, who has always had a special fetish for married women, actually set his sights on his uncles when he was in a good mood.

He took advantage of his drunkenness to force the new concubine of the fifth master of the Qin family. After being bumped by the fifth master Qin, he kicked him out of the house.

The concubine couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide on the spot. This incident caused a big uproar in the whole capital. Later, for some reason, it was left unresolved. After that, Young Master Qin was still Young Master Qin, the Fifth Master of the Qin Family, but he was no longer the Fifth Master of the Qin Family.

His identity had become his shame. Because of his identity as the Fifth Master of the Qin Family, people flattered him on the surface, but secretly mocked and disdained him...

No matter how prosperous the Qin family was in the future, the Fifth Master of the Qin Family would never be able to raise his head.

County Magistrate Liu went over, and Li Yi's eyes briefly met with a 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 Li Yi hadn't caught up with him, he would have fallen to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Li Yi asked with concern.

Wan Ruoqing frowned slightly and said, "It seems like I bumped into him just now."

When she was dodging that person just now, her calf hit the table and chair. She was nervous at the time and didn't feel anything. Now that she was completely relaxed, she felt waves of pain...

Zeng Zuimo walked over to help her instead of Li Yi. Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Can you still walk?"

"No problem."

Wan Ruoqing shook her head. With the help of Zeng Zuimo, although she walked a little hard, she could move slowly.

Qin Yu and the fifth master of the Qin family did not communicate much. When he walked down the stairs, he did not look at Li Yi and walked straight out of the restaurant.

Li Yi and the two women walked out and happened to see Zeng Shichun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, rushing over. He looked at Zeng Zuimo with extremely surprised eyes. Zeng Zuimo lowered his head and did not speak.

On the street, watching Wan Ruoqing frowning every step she took, Li Yi felt that the price of the dress just now was still a little too low, and it was cheap for the man surnamed Wei.

However, after all, he was also a man of his word, and it was not easy to take back what he said. It was not appropriate to raise the price now. If he could not send the money before tomorrow, it would be reasonable to double the compensation. I think the other party would have nothing to say.

"Does it hurt?"

The streets were crowded with people, and carriages could not pass. Seeing Wan Ruoqing's frown, Li Yi finally stopped and asked.

Wan Ruoqing shook her head and smiled, "It's okay."

Her eyebrows were not relaxed, and the smile looked a little forced. Li Yi walked in front of her, squatted down, and said, "Come up."

"Ah?"

Wan Ruoqing was slightly startled, and when she understood what he meant, her pretty face turned red.

He was different from all the men she knew. Although she had tried hard to adapt to their way of getting along, she still felt that picking up food for each other during meals was the limit of what she could do.

This was also something she had adapted to for a long time, because when he said these words, his eyes were always as clear as water, without a trace of evil thoughts.

Apart from him, if it was anyone else, she would probably regard him as a pervert and would not have a good face.

However, habit is habit. If she was carried by him like this, through the crowded streets, and watched by so many people...

Just thinking about it, she felt her cheeks getting hot.

Zeng Zuimo was also staring at this scene in a daze. At this time, Li Yi had already urged her.

"It will be dark if we walk back like this." Li Yi looked back and said, "Hurry up, it's not the first time anyway."

The first time he was talking about was naturally the time when she came out of the Ning Wang Mansion in Qing'an Prefecture and fainted due to a high fever.

Zeng Zuimo turned her head with some difficulty: "Not..., the first time?"
