Chapter 201 Far-reaching influence
Master Chang smiled embarrassedly when Xiao Sa said: "I think he looks so embarrassed. The person who beat him seemed to be unable to get along with him, but he actually slapped them all in the face - without any affection..."
"Master Chang," Dai Gui interrupted him, "You said you saw Liang Jimin being beaten, and you don't know if you saw clearly who was the one who beat him?"
For some reason, as soon as Dai Gui finished speaking, Xia Zhiqing felt a tense atmosphere, especially the one named Xiao Sa, with bright eyes.
"I only saw Liang Jimin, who was beaten to the point of a bruised face," Master Chang smiled, "I didn't see who beat him. But fortunately, I didn't see it. Otherwise, it would be really hard to choose whether I would go to persuade him to fight or not!"
The tension in the room did not decrease due to Master Chang's words, but became stronger.
"Then, what have you heard?" Dai Gui glanced at Xiao Sa, "How do you guys talk about this?"
Master Chang also felt the atmosphere unusual and said confused: "What are you doing? Sometimes he said he knew that Liang Jimin was beaten? Sometimes he asked Liang Jimin who was beaten? Then he said this matter and then he said that Mr. Min came..."
"What's the matter waiting for me to come?" As he was speaking, Mr. Min pushed the door and entered, Changxing, who was following him, looked at Dai Gui with helpless expression on his face.
Everyone in the room came forward to salute.
Mr. Min returned the gift and everyone sat down accordingly.
The guy came in to serve tea, but when he walked to the door, he was stopped by Changxing. He took the tea tray to serve tea to everyone present.
Mr. Min reiterated the old saying: "What's the matter? I'll talk about it when I come?"
Everything we see and hear today is full of strange smell - Mr. Min was not even surprised when he saw himself... Xia Zhiqing decided to remain silent.
Chang Hui said quickly: "Liang Jimin was beaten in front of the Baihua Tower. I was having a lot of trouble when I came. I told Dai Gui and Xiao Sa about this, but they said they knew it a long time ago and were going to tell you as a joke when you came."
Mr. Min raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I also know that Liang Jimin was beaten..." As he said that, he looked around the people in the room, "Not only that, I also saw the person who beat him!"
Dai Gui looked at Xiao Sa with his eyes, but Xiao Sa sat upright and looked at Mr. Min with a smile.
"Really!" Chang Hui was a straightforward person and said to Mr. Min with a smile, "When I arrived, the hall of Baihua Restaurant was in chaos, and everyone was talking. I rushed over and saw that the guards of the restaurant were carrying Liang Jimin in... Haha, when they were beaten at their door, the people in Kyoto would probably say that it was last year and a half. Especially the place where Liang Jimin was beaten was just not far from the corner gate of the side courtyard... Hehehe, let's wait and see the show! He was still in the filial piety period... I'm afraid that there will be people who say anything at that time!"
Mr. Min glanced at Xiao Sa and smiled and said, "I was called by the emperor today to discuss the rehabilitation of King Zhen'an. It happened that my relative, Mr. Xia, had something important to invite me to Baihua Restaurant for a drink. When I arrived at Baihua Restaurant, I saw someone fighting not far from the corner gate of the side courtyard of Baihua Restaurant.
It was far away and it was dark. I thought the people who were drinking flower wine in Baihua Restaurant were jealous and didn't care.
When I arrived at the lobby on the first floor, I met my former colleagues. After chatting for a few words, I saw a man dressed in a guy running in anxiously. I thought of the group of people fighting outside the Baihua Restaurant, so I kept my mind. After a while, the shopkeeper of Baihua Restaurant followed the boy out and hurriedly told the guy to call the guards to the place where something was wrong.
At this moment, someone shouted outside, saying that the third son of the Dingyuan Hou family was beaten to talk to Shangbao Temple... Baihua Restaurant was in an uproar, and all the guests in the first floor of the elegant hall ran out... After a while, the guards of the Baihua Restaurant carried a coma in, and the second son of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion were following Liang Shuxin. His cheek was blue and purple, as if he was hit somewhere... You know the relationship between the Liang family and me. I went up and asked. Guess, what did the second son of the Liang family say?"
Xiao Sa smiled lightly, but Dai Gui's expression seemed a little unfathomable. Only Chang Hui asked anxiously: "What did the second son of the Liang family say?"
Mr. Min looked at Xiao Sa again and said with a smile: "The second son of the Liang family said that there was a problem with the accounts of Baihua Restaurant, and the shopkeeper asked him to check the accounts. It was late and he had not returned yet. My mother was a little worried, so she asked her younger brother to come to him. Who knew that on the way home, they encountered a masked robber."
After all, fighting near a restaurant is not a good thing. In order to prevent such a thing from happening, some large restaurants in Jiangnan usually send some guards to inspect the restaurant secretly. Once they find out that this situation, they will immediately come forward to persuade them to fight. If both parties in dispute do not listen to the advice, the guards of the restaurant will also leave their identities, hoping that the guests will be at peace with the restaurant or go to a place far away from the restaurant to solve the problem... Since Baihua Restaurant is known as the number one restaurant in Kyoto, they should also be prepared for this matter. How can they let their shareholders and guests be beaten at the door?
Xia Zhenqing's mouth twitched, thinking about what he saw and heard today was confusing, but in the end he still didn't make a sound.
Chang Hui exclaimed strangely: "Liang Jimin was obviously having a drink in Baihua Restaurant, but why did he become a younger brother who was worried that his brother would be late to return home?"
"Yes!" Mr. Min smiled, "According to the Second Master Liang, the robber was very skilled and brave. Not only did he knock down all his entourage, but he also knocked him out when he heard the movement and went out of the sedan chair to check... However, although the Second Master Liang fainted, the entourage beside him saw the entourage running into the side courtyard of Baihua Restaurant. Not only that, the Second Master Liang's entourage pulled off the entourage's purse in the fight with the robber. Now he is asking the people from the prefect of Shuntian to investigate this matter!"
Xiao Sa and Dai Gui sat there calmly, but Xia Zhiqing's eyes couldn't help but go to Xiao, Dai and Dai.
Dai Gui was wearing a royal blue plum, bamboo orchid straight, and a silver-inlaid elephant jade-wireeded belt, with four or five purses hanging on the waist, while Xiao Sa was wearing a black Lu silk Taoist robe, and he didn't even have to tie a palace belt...
Xia Zhiqing's eyes couldn't help but fall on Dai Gui.
"I didn't expect the robbers in Kyoto to be so unique?" Xiao Sa smiled and said, "Only hit people, not rob money."
Xia Zhiqing saw a little surprise when he saw Mr. Min's eyes flying away.
Dai Gui seemed to remember something, with an unprecedented expression of excitement and asked Mr. Min: "I don't know what the Liang brothers were robbed? At the foot of the emperor, robbers actually appeared in the important part of the capital, and they also robbed the important officials of the court. The prefect of Shuntian not only needs to investigate, but also should investigate it hard." He became more and more excited as he spoke, and shouted Changxing: "If you take my name, you go to the prefect of Shuntian in person, and ask what's going on?"
Changxing left in response.
Lord Min laughed.
Xiao Sa said quietly in the laughter of Lord Min: "Without an important position like Shang Baosi, isn't anyone in the court having some ideas about this position?"
Lord Min's smile froze on his face.
He looked at Xiao Sa with bright eyes, shouted "Okay", then stood up and shouted to the guy: "Come on, bring me some jars of the best wine in your Baihua Restaurant!"
*******
Xia Zhiqing helped Lord Min, who was eating a little staggeringly, get into the warm sedan chair.
Lord Min took Xia Zhiqing's hand: "You, you said there is something important to me, what's the matter? Today's matter is also very important, so forget your matter?"
Xia Zhiqing felt that Lord Min was a little irritating and didn't understand very well, but Lord Min heard clearly when he asked him what he had.
I thought about it several times, but when I practiced alone in the house, I suddenly became in my throat.
He hesitated for a while.
Lord Min was impatient: "A man is a real man, what can I say in a blunt way? Do you see General Dai and Lord Xiao today? They are about the same age as you. One is with his father at the age of fourteen, and the other is the top martial arts scholar at the age of seventeen, and escort the Supreme Emperor back to the capital with one riding alone... It is also your opportunity to meet these two young heroes today. If you have time, you should get closer to them."
When Xia Zhiqing saw Lord Min looking at him with great enthusiasm, his heart felt warm, and those dreams from childhood suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Mr. Min, I want to ask you to be a guarantee and recommend me to study at the Imperial College." He looked at Master Min sincerely, "I don't want to stay in Zhoushan anymore, I don't want to be a scholar, I am complacent as a scholar, and Yelang is arrogant. I want to be like you, get fame and fortune, be a superior person, be respected wherever I go, and no one dares to look down on me wherever I go..."
Lord Min was stunned.
In fact, when Xia Zhiqing invited him, his wife told him that Xia Zhiqing wanted to be an ice man to protect the media for him and Shen Muqing. He also repeatedly told him that Shen Zhen spoiled Shen Muqing too much and always thought that his daughter was unparalleled in the world. Not to mention that she had married men, even unmarried men with fame and fortune, I was afraid that he would look down on him at any time... If she was well managed, she would be not a human being inside or outside. He would definitely give up Xia Zhiqing's idea. If she really couldn't dispel her, she would also push others to Mr. Shen to talk about this matter. No matter what, she should not interfere in Shen Muqing's marriage.
Unexpectedly, when he asked Xia Zhiqing, he was completely different.
Seeing that Lord Min looked at him in surprise, Xia Zhiqing thought that his words would not be accepted by Lord Min.
He lowered his head: "I'm not trying to be an official, I, I don't want to live like this anymore... As you said, General Dai and Lord Xiao are about the same age as me..."
Lord Min understands it.
He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said, "You have a motivated heart, and I'm not too happy yet! I'll tell your sister tomorrow that you can stay in Kyoto to study, broaden your horizons, and make close friends..."
Xia Zhiqing bowed to Lord Min with gratitude.
