Chapter 485 Heroes Save Beauty
In the Honglu Pavilion, Zeng Qi and the Lu Envoy had been drinking for a day and a night, and the two were still chatting and laughing. They were coming and going, and the palace ladies were constantly delivering all kinds of fine wine.
The room was filled with strong smell of alcohol. After drinking ten jars of strong wine, Xu Hao and Li Jinglong couldn't help but look at each other in shock. Although they didn't keep drinking, they often talked and raised their glasses when they were in high spirits, but marathon-like time was really scary, right?
Zhu Yong stood up again and ran out to rush into the toilet, squatting and vomiting loudly, his face was scary. Li Jinglong said in shock: "He is the number one in drinking among our brothers, and he is far from his opponent. Are these two people still human?"
Xu Hao said convincedly: "It's time to drink for a day, but if you meet the opponent, you will meet the good talent. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a third huge number of people in the world."
Originally, the brothers proposed to win by tricks, such as secretly changing the wine to white water or drinking sober soup, but Xu Hao felt it was meaningless, and because he felt that drinking was not as good as humans, it was better to know that there was a reason outside of heaven.
I don’t expect Zeng Qi is really a strange person. After drinking so much wine, his face is neither white nor red, his expression is sober and at ease, and his words are exactly the same as when he is normal. He has a bit of the extraordinary temperament of a sword fairy who is so ecstatic.
The more Zhu Zhi's face drank, the more red they were, and he was sweating all over his body, and kept shouting that he could be relieved. This could probably expel alcohol from the body. Zhu Yong was a good man with a pale face the more he drank. He could pour a group of people in every party, but this time he obviously lost.
"If you have the chance, you must test Lord Zeng's massive amount." Li Jinglong said astonished.
Inconvenient to disturb them, Li Jinglong took Xu Hao to the most famous Eight Immortals Drunken House in the capital, which was an old sign for decades.
It was already dusk and the guests from all over the world came in a crowd of wine, and the seats downstairs were 80% full. The waiter shuttled between the tables, and the guests chatted and laughed, making a lot of lively.
The two went straight to the third floor, found a secluded elegant seat by the window, and suddenly a man came over and bowed, "I am the governor of Suzhou. I saw that the two masters were very arrogant and wanted to ask for something."
Li Jinglong's face turned dark, and the guards were all downstairs. He had said before that he would be more comfortable not to bring people, which would be great. As soon as he came up, someone disturbed him. What if he was a gangster?
"It's okay." Xu Hao didn't care. He lived a nervous life all day long. What's the fun of life? He asked directly: "Tell me."
The guest did not realize that he had almost caused a big disaster, and thanked him and said, "It's just a private matter in the mansion. My lady has recently heard of the grand event in the tribute court in the capital. She came to play secretly. She had no news for more than ten days. My master sent a young man to search everywhere, and was anxious. Her wife cried all day long, without food, and she missed her illness. She was helpless. She wanted to bother to help and search. Maybe there was an accident and it was also a miserable life. Or maybe she knew her whereabouts in the future. She would report to each other."
Li Jinglong frowned and said, "This is not difficult. Your lady is too willful. She is not afraid of meeting bad people or being seduced by bad people. Even if she finds her reputation, it will be gone."
Xu Hao said, "Maybe there is something hidden, otherwise why is a girl traveling alone? If you don't tell the truth, don't think we can help."
The guest saw that although he was not old, he saw that there were a group of servants downstairs, and his every move was obviously a noble in the capital, so he smiled bitterly: "I'm going to hide it from the two masters. When the lady was at home, my master once betrothed her to the son of the inspector Zheng, but the lady was unwilling to do so, so he clamored to withdraw from the marriage several times.
Later, my old lady's nephew came to visit her relatives, and the lady admired the romantic young man of the family. The famous scholar of the scholar in the family fell in love with her in private. The cousin went to Beijing to visit friends, and the next day the lady and the maid disappeared."
Li Jinglong smiled and said, "It turns out that he has made an appointment to elope. If it is not difficult to find in the capital, if he walks far away, he will be helpless."
After asking about the lady's appearance, age, name, etc., the guests were sent away. The two ordered wine and dishes while drinking. Suddenly, they heard melodious music playing downstairs, suppressing the guests' laughter, and it seemed that a woman was singing a song.
He got up and walked over and looked down. He saw a woman in her thirties, with her waist Xiaona, and there was some rippling in the dust between her eyebrows and eyes, singing a small song. Two timid girls beside her were holding musical instruments.
Although I couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly with my back, the graceful and beautiful back was enough to make people shine.
Many diners downstairs stopped their voices and looked at them straight. After the woman finished singing the song, the whole restaurant was filled with thunder.
The flirty boy clapped his hands hard and shouted strangely. The woman looked very natural. She raised her hand to put away her scattered hair, and smiled slightly and said, "I'm ugly. My sisters make a living by singing. Which old man is willing to help?"
Facing beautiful women with good sex and art, there is no shortage of passionate and generous men, they all take out scattered silver to reward them.
Several southern merchants said attentively: "Are you tired of singing? Please sit down and rest. The two girls should be singing below, so we can also enjoy our blessings."
The two girls did not refuse, and sang with each other in turn with the pipa. Xu Hao couldn't help but be fascinated by it. This was real singing skills, and his natural good voice, let alone the mouth of a young girl.
Many customers who had not paid could not help but use treasure money to reward them. The women thanked them one by one and were satisfied and prepared to lead the girls away.
Li Jinglong shouted loudly: "Please come upstairs, and a song of twenty taels of silver is offered."
People downstairs heard the sound from the upper floors, and knew that it was an extraordinary person, and they continued to talk and drink.
The woman looked up at the upstairs and smiled, and replied, "The master comes here to drink, so he should serve you."
Xu Hao frowned slightly, wondering if it was really such a coincidence. Judging from the situation just now, these three women were here for the first time in the Eight Immortals Tower. Did someone deliberately arrange it?
At this time, the woman twisted her waist and took the girl step by step, lifted the curtain and entered the elegant seat. Suddenly, the previous guest jumped over and knocked over the bowl on the table. She grabbed a girl's wrist completely and exclaimed: "Little bitch, you have caused us to be scolded, and you have broken your legs and feet, and you are here to be free and easy."
Xu Hao and Li Jinglong were surprised and heard someone outside the door yelling: "Bitch, please tell me, where is the lady?"
The woman was very calm and calmly stepped forward and smiled and advised: "I'm afraid that you have recognized the wrong person. I think we singers are all inferior people. This girl is my girl. Where did the lady come from?"
The girl said coldly: "I have recognized the wrong person when I am drunk, who can recognize your lady?"
After saying that, he was about to break free, and the guest said anxiously: "Please make the decision. This girl is Cuihe, the maid of my lady, and I can't let her go."
Li Jinglong lowered his face and shouted, "Who are you? Let's leave after it's clear."
The woman shouted, "We are just singing, it's true."
Li Jinglong glanced at Xu Hao, saw Xu Hao nodding slightly, and immediately sneered: "No matter who you are, go to the Bingmasi first."
The guest downstairs thought it was snatched home by a noble official. He looked at the beautiful girl who was forcibly taken away, and sighed indignation.
There were many people watching the fun around the street. Li Jinglong's family escorted three women in the middle, the guests followed closely behind with two families, and Xu Hao walked at the end.
Suddenly a handsome young man rushed over and knocked the onlookers to the point of being swayed. He shouted loudly: "Damn it, you dare to steal women in the sky and the sun."
The servant of the Li family shouted in anger: "You are so bold. My master is here, get out of here."
The young man smiled at the sky and said, "I said it's the emperor here. It turns out that he is a master. How can he not worship me when he sees me?"
Xu Hao suddenly narrowed his eyes and became angry. He thought to himself that he was such an arrogant person, aren’t he going to be a hero? OK!
This scene is like a powerful and powerful government official yamen runners who instructed them to be accomplices of tigers, bullying a few weak women, while the young men are heroes who see injustice.
The guest looked straight at the young man and shouted, "He is the old lady's relative. Now he and Cuihe are here, so the whereabouts of the lady are clear."
The yamen runners of the Wucheng Military Police who were patrolling nearby ran over, and Li Jinglong ordered: "Take this guy down and take it to the yamen for interrogation."
A group of yamen runners were excited and rushed up with their teeth and claws. Xu Hao saw that the young man was good at his good skills and moved his hands and feet casually, and beat everyone to the point of falling.
The people who didn't know the truth cheered, and Xu Hao sneered and signaled, and the guards around him walked up to the two of them. In an instant, they pressed the young man to the ground. The yamen runners rushed forward and took out iron ropes and tied them up.
The guest hurriedly said, "He is my cousin, please give me some advice."
Li Jinglong sneered: "It's too late! He is accused of being a big shot when he dares to beat a policeman in the capital."
Xu Hao frowned and asked, "I am the governor Xu Hao, report your name and family background."
The young man turned his head coldly and said, "Who am I? I don't do your business, I'm taking action for her."
Xu Hao suddenly raised his feet and kicked the young man hard in the face. After kicking the young man to the ground, he kicked him hard in the nose. Blood flowed and the bones on the bridge of the nose collapsed.
The three women ran over with a scream. Xu Hao had no mercy on his face and kicked him out.
The young man raised his head with distorted facial features, his eyes fiercely, treating Xu Hao as his father-killing enemy, and roared: "You are a foolish dog official, what does the dog slave say? You believe in one side and oppress the good."
Li Jinglong said angrily: "This is under the feet of the emperor, he is the dignified governor. Do you dare to be so presumptuous?"
The young man raised his hand and wiped the blood, laughed and said, "What a big tone, what a emperor's feet."
Li Jinglong was so angry that he scolded: "I have never seen such an arrogant person, a bitch."
The guest came forward and shouted angrily: "You are ungrateful and abducting the lady of the official family in the name of visiting relatives, oh!"
This scene was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Xu Hao punched the guest in the face again, squatting on the ground and screaming.
Xu Hao said calmly: "This is the capital, and you can't let the rats be rampant. If you are in my hands, you will be unlucky. You will be imprisoned in Shuntian Prefecture Prison."
The young man sneered: "Just you?"
Xu Hao was immediately amused by him and waved helplessly: "Take it away."
The young man sternly said: "My father is a loyal Boru, I see if you dare to touch me."
Xu Hao smiled and said, "I can see that Mr. Ru really gave birth to a good son."
Li Jinglong laughed and said, "So you are the third brother of Ru Yongru! I heard that you and your elder brother have been in the Qin Palace. No wonder even we brothers don't recognize us. We don't know the things that are so high that you are not good even if you come."
"Take it away!" Xu Hao waved his hand again, "Let him teach him a lesson this time so that he can avoid being arrogant. I will keep it closed for a month. By the way, send those three women to Ru's mansion."
The young man was taken away in amazement. He probably didn't believe that there were people in the capital who didn't care about his family.
Li Jinglong said disdainfully: "There are too many ministers who are arrogant and unruly recently, and four or five fights can occur every day."
Xu Hao had no choice. Could he send someone to teach a lesson? It can only be said that with nearly forty years of its founding, a new class of powerful people has almost formed. After another hundred and eighty years, sharp and irreconcilable class contradictions will also appear.
Xu Hao whispered: "You ask the woman he knows to visit the prison in the evening, record the conversation, and then find out the whereabouts of the lady through the maid as soon as possible."
Li Jinglongqi said: "Why is this?"
Xu Hao explained: "I have to understand the causes and consequences of this matter first. The maid cannot come out for no reason to sing. There must be other hidden information. Even if the lady shows up due to facial inconvenience, it is not safe to live alone in the capital now, so she will find the person immediately. If she vents her anger, she cannot harm the innocent because of this."
"I understand." Li Jinglong agreed on the surface, but he was quite dissatisfied. What's wrong with him? Just because of Ru Yong's arrogant and uninhibited virtue just now, his sweetheart would be reduced to the world.
Xu Hao glanced at him, then told his own people that it would be a day or two before Li Jinglong treated his life as a human life, otherwise he would not have been implicated by his younger brother Li Zengzhi, and he almost did not even have his life to protect. After all, this person is a real powerful man.
Previously, Ru Yong dared to stand up alone, and there were no rich slaves around him. It was obvious that he was a person who dared to act and took responsibility. Perhaps he was a chivalrous person, but he was too ignorant of the depth of the world at a young age and was arrogant because of his family background. Therefore, Xu Hao was not polite to him.
Back then, Ru Wei was the first to surrender with Li Jinglong. He didn't dare to breathe when he saw Zhu Di. He was an important official who was highly appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang. Although being humble is a derogatory term, when it is time to bow his head, he has to bow his head. Don't think that God, you are the second child, and you will regret it after suffering a great loss.
Ru Wei was later named Zhongsheng Bo and was appointed as the Prince of Prince Taibao. She served as the Minister of War for two years. Her eldest son Ru Jian was elected as the ritual guest of the Prince of Chang'an of Qin's Palace.
In this way, Ru Wei was ordered to go to Chang'an to build his daughter-in-law's house. It was a disguised traveling public funds and vacate the position of Minister of War. It seems that he has not returned to Beijing yet, and it will be time for retirement when he comes back.
If Ru Wei's resume is indeed very prominent, it is not a question of raising such a proud son. Zhu Yuanzhang personally called Ru Wei a wise man and rewarded the iron scrolls of "one person in China and abroad, the mainstay of the affairs", and exempted the taxes on the landscaping and gardens of his fields.
In other words, this guy can be exempted from crime even if he kills someone, and it is no wonder that he is so unscrupulous.
