Chapter 91 Adding fuel to the fire
West Street is not far from Chuan Pavilion. Half an hour later, Zuo Qi and Wan Qi came back to report, and Liu Mingyi was also back with them. Liu Mingyi was in his early twenties, just like most scholars of this era, with a thin figure and a pretty face. Perhaps he was forced by life. His eyes were less determined and fanatic than the firmness and enthusiasm of Confucian scholars, but he brought some exhausted vicissitudes.
Xu You looked at Liu Mingyi's right arm, and the gray cotton cloth bandaged outside was oozing out of the bloody red blood, saying, "Are you injured?"
Zuo Qi and I arrived, "When Wanqi and I arrived, we happened to meet people from Tianshidao. They disguised themselves and took Liu Mingyi hostage first. Later, when we started, I was entangled by more than a dozen people. I was not prepared for a while, which made Liu Mingyi a stab in the arm. My subordinates were not good at doing things well, so please punish me."
Wan Qi next to him was confused when he heard Zuo Qi ask for punishment. In her single world of thinking, Xu You ordered to bring Liu Mingyi back, but he did not say he was not allowed to be injured. However, Zuo Qi stayed by Xu You for the longest time, and even he said so, so there must be something special, so he hesitated and said, "Please punish me!"
Xu You chuckled and said, "It is a great achievement to be able to snatch people back from the hands of Tianshidao. It is too late to reward you, so how can you be punished? Okay, let's go and rest first, and leave the rest to me and my wife."
After asking Liu Mingyi, he learned that the incident happened as Xu You guessed. When he received the task from the boat pavilion, he immediately promoted all the differences in the Tianshidao in private, and interpreted the profound meaning implicitly in the Legend of White Snake into straightforward language and widely publicized it. Because Liu Mingyi read and read, he was respected by the neighbors on West Street and said very much. He soon planted the seeds of doubt in the hearts of the people, which indirectly led to the two vendors being heard by Xi Yuanda during the chat, and ended up in a tragic ending of life and death without knowing what he had.
After asking, Feng Jiuniang arranged for Liu Mingyi to heal her wounds. Although the knife wound was not very serious, she was most afraid of infection. Once she ulcerated, she would have life worries. Xu You was thinking about her next plan. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Qian Qin sneaking out and snorted coldly and said, "Where is going?"
Qianqin's body was stiff on the spot, and it took a while to turn around, with embarrassment in her eyes. Although the bet stipulated that Xu Youyan should follow her advice in the future, she could not turn around for a while, and she was still stubborn and said, "You care where I go..."
"Oh, it seems that someone wants to lose money!"
Xu You raised his lips and said, "I remember you read Zuo Zhuan. There is a saying in it, "A gentleman has words, but he has strengths." I don't know what to explain it?"
Qianqin was able to pick up the allusions in "Zuo Zhuan" at will, so she naturally knew the meaning of this sentence, but she argued: "I am a little girl, not a gentleman..."
Xu You's face darkened and said, "You are in charge of the boat pavilion, and you have hundreds of troops under you. With a command, you can drive them to die. Are some of them despise and contempt because you are a woman? Are some of them slanderous and disobedient because you are a woman?"
"this……"
Qianqin stammered for a long time, her cheeks were getting hot. She wanted to refute, but she knew she was in the wrong and couldn't say a word.
"Making a covenant to make a bet is a promise. If you don't keep it, how can you convince the public? Isn't it a joke for those who cannot convince the public to hold such an important boat pavilion? If there is any mistake, there is a wife of the Lord above and a crew member below. Ask yourself, can you feel at ease when you dream back at midnight?"
Qianqin was criticized in person by him, and her lungs were about to explode. She held her slender hands tightly, and her knuckles turned white due to force, and her teeth were almost broken. Her eyes were staring at Xu You fiercely and said, "Stop talking! I'm willing to accept the loss! You can just say whatever you want to torture me!"
"Don't look down on yourself too much and torture you? I don't have that time and I don't have the mood!" Xu You said lightly: "Go down first, and when I'm in the mood, I will collect your bet!"
After Qian Qin left unstoppably, Zhan Wenjun, who had not spoken around, smiled and said, "This girl is actually not bad in character. She just likes to show off her verbal pleasure. Because of some reasons, she is disagreeing with me. Fortunately, the husband is good at planning and convinced her."
Xu You apologized: "Madam, forgive me! Qianqin is your maid after all. The more I discipline her like this, the more I am suspected of being a substitute. I hope I don't mind it!"
"You're very disciplined!"
Zhan Wenjun sighed, "I am actually a man who is in control of the poorest. I am the thickest in my heart, but Baihua has an affair with foreign enemies behind my back. Qianqin is closer to the concubine of the Goddess, and I don't have much heart to do since I came here. Although I am usually respectful in my rituals, I also have many slandering words behind my back. It's just that she is responsible for her in charge of the boat pavilion, and I am usually too lazy to care about her. As for Ten Books, you know her origin, so although she is a master and servant in terms of status, she never takes me seriously. Only Wanqi looks cold and hard to approach, but in fact she is simple and loyal. She follows me through life and death, and never takes a step back. Outsiders often say that I have tens of millions and millions of slaves around me, and all four servants are intimate. How many people can they really rely on them?"
"It is always difficult to know people and faces. This is a common thing in the world!" Xu You comforted: "My wife is kind-hearted and will not control her subordinates with power and skills, and will naturally be supported by her subordinates!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this!" Zhan Wenjun was valued by Guo Mian and took over such a huge foundation as Guo's. His mental strength was very comparable to that of a person. He would not easily reveal his heart. He just almost had trouble in the room a few days ago. Although he stopped and stopped in time, he had almost regarded him as a very close person psychologically, so he was weak for a moment and said this.
"Langjun, what should we do next?"
Xu You smiled and said, "Xi Yuanda is so impatient, so let's add more trouble to him!"
Qiantang County Government.
Two gatekeepers saw a group of ordinary people walking over from a distance. Seven or eight people in front were wearing white mourning clothes, holding white paper in their hands, with blood-red words "injustice" written on them. The crying sound was heard for ten miles, and they immediately knew that something big happened. One person stepped forward to ask the reason. When he learned about it, he was shocked and dizzy. He almost couldn't stand. He rushed into the county government and happened to meet Bao Xi and said hurriedly: "The chief clerk, a group of people came outside. He wanted to sue the Tianshidao Dao's disaster relief spirit officer Xi Yuanda for committing evil deeds and taking human lives..."
Bao Xi was also shocked, but he was so cunning and calm, and said, "Don't panic, go and lead everyone to the lobby and wait, I'll go and report to Mingfu."
When Gu Yun received the news, he was furious and put on his official uniform and went to the court to investigate the case. Seeing that the hall was crying, several women and the old woman were snot and speechless, unable to explain what was going on. Just as he had no choice but to kneel down, a Confucian scholar said, "Ming Mansion!"
"Who is in the hall?"
"I am Liu Mingyi, a native of Qiantang, lives in Hutao Lane, West Street for many years, and is a neighbor of these people. I know a little about their grievances, and the knife wound on my arm is also related to this case."
Gu Yun nodded and said, "If you say it carefully, don't have any omissions. If there is really grievance, there will be the laws of the court to decide for you!"
"What, the person was not caught?"
The two five hundred generals looked at each other and saw the other party's deep fear. At the same time, their knees softened and they knelt down. Xi Yuanda walked up to the two, his eyes were extremely terrifying, and said, "Two five hundred generals, who brought twenty people, could not even catch a weak scholar. I, Yangzhou Zhi, were thrown away by you!" He suddenly flew up, kicked one person in the air, hit the window lintel heavily, and then fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Say, what the hell is going on!"
The Five Hundred Lu, who was still kneeling, said frightenedly: "I...we brought people to Hutao Lane. We had already caught Liu Mingyi, but when we retreated, we met two people, one man and one woman, with extremely high cultivation. We were unable to fight, so we had to... we had to watch them rescue Liu Mingyi..."
"A man and a woman? Have you recognized your appearance?"
"They wear mulberry on their faces, their faces... they can't see clearly!"
Xi Yuanda narrowed his eyes. He could become the disaster relief officer in Yangzhou, so he would not be a stupid person. Although he didn't know what was going on, he instinctively felt the danger approaching.
"Are any brothers injured?"
"I injured eleven people, one of them was seriously injured and died on the way back!"
Xi Yuanda was angry again, and he died if he died. He didn't feel sorry for his subordinates, but felt that so many people had killed two people, one of them was so embarrassing that he even slapped the kneeling person and spit blood. His body tilted and fell to the ground.
"Get out and leave Zhibin Tower immediately with the injured. Also, take the two dead people in the secret room out and find a secluded place to deal with it, so don't leave any traces!"
"promise!"
After arranging all this, Xi Yuanda thought it was foolproof and took Zhan Yi to the house to Hu Tian and Emperor Hu. It was not until the entire Zhibin Tower was surrounded by the yamen in Qiantang County that Zhan Yi screamed in panic.
"Spiritual, Bao Xi is here, I'm going to see you!"
Xi Yuandaqi said: "What did he do when he sees me?"
Zhan Yi didn't know what to do and asked in confusion: "Is the governor's mansion putting pressure on Qiantang County, and Gu Yun finally decided to help us?"
He was busy counting his belongings in Binlou this day, and he didn't know about Xi Yuanda's killing of two vendors, and he didn't know that he had sent someone to arrest Liu Mingyi. When he saw Bao Xi coming forward, he thought the situation had turned around.
Xi Yuanda put on her clothes and said, "Let's go and meet him!"
Bao Xi actually did not agree with Gu Yun's approach. What kind of identity does Xi Yuanda affect her whole body. She is not sure of her. She must not act rashly. But Gu Yun insists on his own opinion and says that the people complain about the wrongs and complains. If they cannot make decisions for them, what is the difference between them? This is too heavy, and Bao Xi dares not persist too much, so he has to take one step at a time. The situation is confusing, and he has to take a look before talking about it.
"Bao Zhuan Zhu!"
"Officer Shiling!"
After saying hello, Bao Xi saw the mountain and said, "Mingfu asked the Lingguan to come to the yamen to talk!"
Xi Yuanda said: "I have something important to me and cannot leave. Please ask the chief clerk to avenge the crime on his behalf."
"Oh?" Bao Xi knew that he would not submit easily, so he suddenly asked, "I dare to ask Lingguan, have you been to the shore of Qiantang Lake at noon today?"
"No, I'll go to the lake to enjoy the scenery and go home with all my fun!"
"Have you ever met two men, one tall and fat, and the other thin and short?"
"No!"
"Have you ever met Liu Mingyi?"
"No!"
Bao Xi was in the public office and his interrogation skills were superb. He immediately knew that Xi Yuanda was lying. With the character and character of the disaster relief spirit officer, if he hadn't had a ghost in his heart, he would have left furiously, so how could he honestly answer these questions? Moreover, he didn't even ask who Liu Mingyi was, and insisted that he had never seen it before. There were obviously too many flaws.
After seeing through Xi Yuanda's lies, that is, what the complainant said was true. Bao Xi was not happy at all, but was full of worry. He turned to look at Zhan Qi and said, "Mr. Zhan, don't you mind if I have someone searched the various parts of the building?"
Zhan Yi was puzzled and didn't know what to do, but Xi Yuanda laughed and said, "The chief clerk came on order. How dare Mr. Zhan refuse to obey? Please!"
Bao Xi's eyes slammed Xi Yuanda's face, and he made another living in his heart. He smiled slightly and said, "No need! Trouble both of you, I'll go back and report now. Stay, stay!"
After seeing Bao Xi off, Zhan Qi wondered, and said, "What the hell is Bao Xi doing?"
