Chapter 0066 The Wrath of the County Lord(1/2)
Li Zhen and Jiu Zhi left Di Renjie's mansion. The two discussed that if they went to find Gao Yanfu together, there was something hard to say, so it would be better for Li Zhen to go alone.
Jiuzhi first went to the inn they had booked before to settle down. Li Zhen immediately asked the doorman of Di Mansion about Gao Yanfu's residence, and rode his horse to Jishanfang.
The distribution of neighborhoods in the southern part of Luoyang has a characteristic: the closer the mansion is to the end gate of Tianjie, the greater the power.
Therefore, in the four yards close to Tianjie and near the Duanmen, they were basically filled with high-ranking officials and powerful people, Li royal family, Wu family upstarts, princesses, princesses and other royal relatives.
Jishanfang, where Gao Yanfu's mansion is located, is also one of the famous powerful houses. There are no ordinary houses in the house, all of which are over 100 acres of huge houses. There are dozens of houses in total. Gao Yanfu's mansion is located at the westmost point, close to Luoshui.
But just when he was heading to Gao Mansion, Li Zhen unexpectedly discovered that the house next to Gao Yanfu Mansion was the house of the King of Wei and Wu Chengsi.
It was so coincidental that the two mansions were close together, which made Li Zhen feel indescribable. Is Gao Yanfu really willing to help him?
"I'm sorry, my master is not in the mansion, please come back another day!"
On the steps, Gao Yanfu's housekeeper returned Li Zhen's visit to him. Although he was quite polite, Li Zhen still disappointed.
"May I ask, when will Gao Fujun come back? I have something to do to find him."
The housekeeper was about to enter the mansion. When he heard this, he couldn't help but stop and showed disgust on his face. Where did the country man come from? He actually said that he was an old acquaintance of Gao Fujun.
He had no choice but to turn around, and his face showed an unconcealed boredom, "It's hard to say. The emperor's birthday is coming soon. My master is particularly busy. I guess he won't come back in ten days or half a month!"
Li Zhen was stunned. Ten days and half a month later, the daylily was cold. He had thought about everything, but he did not expect that Gao Yanfu was not in the mansion.
Li Zhen was anxious and hurriedly said, "I have something urgent to ask the Duke, can I...?"
Before he could finish his words, the housekeeper waved his hand and interrupted him, "Everyone has urgent matters, but it doesn't mean that you have urgent matters. The Lord of the Mansion can put the matter of the Lord aside. Besides, we can't see the Lord of the Mansion. What can we do?"
The housekeeper waved impatiently, "Go back! Come back in a few days, maybe you will be lucky and will encounter it."
"Can I go to the palace to send a letter to the Duke? I have his jade, which can be used as proof!"
Li Zhen quickly took out the jade pendant that Gao Yanfu gave him and held it in his hand, "Is this OK?"
The housekeeper recognized the master's jade pendant, and he was secretly surprised. How could this young man have the master's jade pendant? He didn't dare to underestimate him, and his tone became polite.
"Let me do this! The young master will leave an address. If the husband comes back, I will send someone to inform the young master immediately. Is this good?"
Li Zhen secretly sighed that the power of the jade pendant was so great that if he didn't take it out, he would really have to hit a soft nail this time, but he really had no choice but to go back and wait patiently for a few days.
He quickly wrote the address of the inn on the post and gave it to the butler again. The butler looked at it. The inn was still relatively close and could consider sending someone to notify him.
The housekeeper then accepted the greeting and said to Li Zhen: "Please wait patiently!"
"Thank you, butler, farewell!"
Li Zhen bowed and turned around and walked down the steps. But as soon as he turned over, he heard someone calling him behind him, "Brother Li, please stay!"
When Li Zhen turned around, he saw an eleven or 2-year-old boy walking out of the mansion, who was very pretty. Li Zhen recognized at a glance that it was Gao Lishi, the little eunuch he had met in Dunhuang.
Gao Lishi is Gao Yanfu's adopted son, and is largely a future asset invested by Gao Yanfu. He likes Gao Lishi's intelligence, intelligence, and understanding.
As long as such a young eunuch is well trained, he will still be favored by the royal family when he grows up and safeguard the interests of the Gao Yanfu family.
Therefore, Gao Yanfu also trained him with all his heart and asked famous teachers to teach him how to read and learn literature, rather than serving his master early, and not reading a big word, and eventually falling into dust.
Today, Gao Lishi was studying in the mansion. He heard from the butler that a young man came to visit his adoptive father outside. It seemed to have an accent in Hexi. Gao Lishi immediately thought of Li Zhen and rushed to the mansion. It was Li Zhen who saved his life in Dunhuang.
"Brother Li, are you finally here?" Gao Lishi was extremely happy and hurriedly came forward.
The housekeeper next to him was a little stunned, but he reacted very quickly and quickly smiled and said, "This young master is looking for the master. It just so happened that the master was not here. I am going to wait for the master to come back and send someone to the inn to notify him."
"Brother Li is not only the master's guest, but also my guest. Why don't you go and lead the horse quickly!"
The housekeeper ran up to lead the horse for Li Zhen, and smiled and said, "I was a little rude just now, don't blame me!"
Li Zhen was used to this kind of transient and cold world. He smiled, "Thank you, butler!"
He handed the horse to the housekeeper, stepped forward and bowed to Gao Lishi and smiled, "Brother, it's been a long time since we saw you."
"Please come to the mansion first, have a little hot tea before talking slowly!" Gao Lishi was very enthusiastic and invited Li Zhen to the mansion.
Compared with the quietness of Di Renjie's mansion, Gao Yansi's mansion seems magnificent, with white jade as the base and giant wood as the pillars.
Huge buildings are hidden among tall and lush trees, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the pillars and beams, mostly painted with copper powder, showing their wealth.
"Brother Li, please sit down!"
Li Zhen sat down in the guest room. Although the furnishings in the guest room were relatively simple, everything he saw was a priceless treasure.
The two-meter-long Hetian jade screen is seated with red sandalwood. The original calligraphy works of Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang are hung on the wall. The pear wood bed inlaid with gold and jade. Even the cup where he drinks tea is the best Yuezhou celadon official kiln, which is warm and delicate, just like mutton fat green jade.
When Gao Lishi saw Li Zhen looking at the cup in his hand, he smiled and said, "If my brother likes it, I'll give it to my brother a pair!"
"No! No! I'm just curious, thank you."
Li Zhen put down the teacup and said slowly: "It's helpless to come to Lingzun this time. I was unfortunately involved in a whirlpool that was related to the power struggle of North Korea. I hope Lingzun can pull me out of the whirlpool."
Although Gao Lishi was young, he seemed to be mature. He thought for a while and said, "Can Brother Li tell me in detail or write a letter that I will go to the palace to present to my father at night."
Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "It's not complicated, it's better for me to dictate it."
He started from when he entered Beijing and explained the story of the relics case in detail.
Finally, Li Zhen said: "I have found out that the case has not been reported to the court and has not been finalized. It is a case that can still be cancelled. I am an innocent person, but I am afraid that the Chang'an government will be punished for fear of power. I can only rely on Lingzun."
Gao Lishi nodded silently. This matter actually involved Wu Chengsi. No wonder Brother Li couldn't get out. It seems that except for his father who could help him, everyone else could help him.
"I understand. This matter cannot be delayed. I will enter the palace now. I wonder where Brother Li lives?"
Li Zhen handed him a note, "You can find me according to the address above."
Gao Lishi stood up and said, "I will enter the palace now. If there is any news, I will notify Brother Li immediately."
.........
He has done everything he should do, and the next thing he wants to wait for the news. Of course, he has to take advantage of this time to find his eldest sister as soon as possible. The eldest sister's family has been in Luoyang for almost two months, and I don't know how they are doing recently?
Li Zhen walked out of Gao's mansion, turned over and urged the horse to go to the fangmen. When he passed by the Wei's mansion, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a cold voice from a woman behind him, "Stop!"
When Li Zhen turned around, he saw two young horse-riding women behind him, followed by a large group of guards and servants. The two women met Wu Furong and Wu Dingxiang at noon this day.
Wu Dingxiang's eyes were dull, but Wu Furong looked at him with cold eyes.
Li Zhen didn't expect to meet her here. Although he didn't want to pay attention, she was Wu Chengsi's daughter after all. He didn't want to make new enemies anymore, so he had to bite the bullet and go forward and said, "What's the matter with me, a girl?"
"What is your relationship with Di Yan?" Wu Furong asked with a look at him.
Seeing that she was rude and rude, Li Zhen was not very happy. What was her relationship with Di Yan and nothing to do with her, so he casually said: "What are you asking about this?"
Wu Furong remembered that it was this person who blocked the guards and made her bullied by Di Yan in the restaurant, and now she ignored her love.
The nameless anger in her heart suddenly ignited, and she pulled out her sword and said, "If you ask me to cut the three swords, you will give up this matter, otherwise you will not want to leave today!"
"Wait a minute!"
A hint of anger arose in Li Zhen's heart and asked her: "I have never met the girl before, and I have no grudges or grudges. Why did the girl cut me down on three swords?"
"No grievance or revenge?"
Wu Furong said viciously: "You know what you did in the restaurant. I will tell you, whoever dares to bully me Wu Furong will pay him one meter. If you let me meet you today, you deserve your luck!"
At this time, Li Zhen's face became awe-inspiring, and he bowed respectfully behind Wu Furong, "Small people will meet His Highness the King of Wei!"
Wu Furong was stunned and looked back. There was a father behind her. When she looked around, she didn't have any shadows. She immediately realized that she had been fooled.
Looking back at Li Zhen, he saw that he had already run for more than a hundred steps and rushed towards the gate. He heard him laughing from afar, "Miss Wu, say hello to your father on my behalf!"
Wu Furong was so angry that she was going crazy. She turned around and shouted at the guards: "You useless bastards, why don't you catch him!"
More than a dozen guards urged the horse to chase after him, but at this time, Wu Dingxiang shouted: "Who is not allowed to chase him!"
The guards strangled the horses one after another, and were confused and lost. Wu Furong was furious and turned around and glared at Wu Dingxiang fiercely, "Little sister, who are you helping?"
Wu Dingxiang said with a gloomy face: "I don't want to say some things, but you have become more and more excessive recently, which makes me have to say that you have caused enough trouble. Don't cause trouble for your uncle."
Wu Furong heard the implicit sound and couldn't help but ask coldly: "What do you mean?"
"Since this person is related to Di Yan, it is related to Di Renjie. What do you think?"
Wu Furong's face changed drastically. She snorted heavily, urged the horse to run out into the mansion. She didn't get off the horse and rushed into the mansion directly from the lane.
Just as she was about to enter the door, Lan Zhenyu happened to come out of the mansion worriedly and almost bumped into her horse. The war horse was frightened, and her front hooves were raised high, and a slight neighing sound was heard.
Wu Furong almost fell off the horse. When she saw clearly that it was another strange man, she couldn't help but be furious and raised her sword to point at him and asked, "Who are you?"
But Lan Zhenyu knew her, so he quickly stood aside and saluted respectfully, "Lan Zhenyu meets the county lord!"
Wu Furong was really upset today. She was humiliated by Di Yan in the restaurant, teased by Li Zhen at the door of her house, and then threatened by Wu Dingxiang. Now another strange man came to her and almost let her fall off her horse.
She could no longer bear it and focused all her anger on Lan Zhenyu.
Wu Furong shouted angrily and waved her hand and stabbed Lan Zhenyu with a sword.
Lan Zhenyu was shocked. He never expected that County Lord Wu would sway his sword to stab him. It was obviously a trivial matter, but he just blocked the horse. It was her supposed to apologize to him, but now she didn't say anything and stabbed him with one sword. What should I do?
With Lan Zhenyu's sword skills and martial arts, it should be easy for him to avoid Wu Furong's sword, but he did not dare to offend the big-tempered county lord and his body remained motionless.
Wu Furong was startled. She didn't expect that the other party would not move. She hurriedly took back the sword and asked in surprise: "Why don't you hide?"
Lan Zhenyu knelt down on one knee, "The county lord's sword, I dare not hide!"
