Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 91
The grievances between Li Qinzai and Wu Yuanshuang are nothing in the past.

The grievance happened not long ago. Li Qinzai had just been appointed as a young supervisor of military weapons because of [-] catties of pig iron.

It is said that Li Qinzai was very particular about handling this matter, and politely sent a gift to Wu Yuanshuang's residence, and also handed over a name card according to the etiquette, with sincere words and sincere feelings.

Wu Yuanshuang was also very knowledgeable at the time. He understood that after Li Qinzai was appointed as the junior supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervisor, the [-] catties of low-quality pig iron allocated by the Shaofu to the Military Weapons Supervisor could no longer be concealed.

He has a family background, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor. The matter of [-] catties of low-quality pig iron is not a small matter. He has just taken office and has no friendship with him. Why should he be blamed for him?

So Wu Yuanshuang readily admitted his failure, and re-appropriated the pig iron. This matter was covered up, and Li Qinzai handled it in a very kind way, and neither of them hurt face.

But one size fits all.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. It is a sworn enemy.A small person like Wu Yuanshuang who made his fortune by relying on the queen's sister had no structure. No matter how beautifully Li Qinzai handled it, the feud would inevitably end.

There was no other way, Li Qinzai knew that he would have another enemy since the day he handed Wu Yuanshuang the name card.

At this very moment today, this enemy is sitting in the Accord next door and yelling, even Li Qinzai's grandfather, Li Ji, got into it.

Li Qinzai's face was a little ugly, so he just scolded himself, and it was too much to bring his grandfather.

Xue's family and Li's family are family friends, both parents are great generals of the Tang army, and Xue Na regards Li Ji as an idol in private, and Wu Yuan, who is next door, cursed Li Ji, Xue Na couldn't bear it long ago.

"That bastard surnamed Wu next door said behind his back that he should keep some morals, that his relatives dared to insult the Duke of the dynasty, and that Duke Ying had made great achievements in the war all his life. How can you wait for these jumping clowns to talk about it?" Xue Na cursed loudly.

There was a moment of silence in the private room next door, and then cursed like a frying pan.

"Which bastard is causing trouble? Don't you want to live? Come out for me, I will weigh the weight of the dog slave!"

Xue Na looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, kicked the door open, walked to the long corridor outside the Yage door, and shouted: "Your grandpa Xue is here, the bastards come out and die!"

The door of the private room next door was also opened, and a group of people came out yelling.

The two sides met on the promenade outside the Accord.

They were all drunk, and they were all angry, and the atmosphere was tense immediately after meeting each other.

Xue Na was the youngest, and had the most impulsive temper. After glancing around at the few people facing him, he sneered and said, "Which bastard said he wanted to weigh Grandpa Xue just now? Stand up, Grandpa Xue wants you to weigh him."

In the crowd on the opposite side, everyone faintly arched a middle-aged man in purple robe in the center. The standard C position, Li Qinzai knew with just a glance that the man in purple robe in the center was Wu Yuanshuang.

Xue Na roared in front, while Li Qinzai stood quietly behind, squinting at Wu Yuanshuang.

Wu Yuanshuang is the half-brother of Empress Wu.

Well, he is a small person, and wearing expensive purple robes can't hide the smell of a small person.

The silk purple robe was open, exposing the muscles of his chest. Because of drinking, his face was flushed and his eyes were slightly gloomy.

Before Empress Wu was enshrined, Wu Yuanshuang was just a household officer in a state city and joined the army. The person in charge of the local household registration and warehouses was a policeman and a warehouse keeper.

It wasn't until Empress Wu was canonized that Wu Yuanshuang ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs, and became a young mansion and prison in one fell swoop, holding great power in his hands.

A small person suddenly becomes a big person by relying on connections, but his heart is still the same as that of Sihu who joined the army back then.There is no need to hide the arrogance of the villain's success.

It is said that before Empress Wu made her fortune, this half-brother often abused her. I don't know why Empress Wu promoted this elder brother who had abused her to a high official after she was registered.

Perhaps, she urgently needs her natal family to help her stand in the court.

Xue Na started scolding with Wu Yuanshuang's followers at this moment, but Li Qinzai and Wu Yuanshuang remained silent.

While Li Qinzai was looking at Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Yuanshuang was also looking at him.

The eyes of the two met, without the legendary sparks flying, Li Qinzai's eyes remained calm, but Wu Yuanshuang's eyes dodged away.

He didn't expect that when he was speaking ill of Duke Ying, his grandson happened to be next door.

Whether in the court or in the army, the British Duke has the same prestige for a while, and even Empress Wu respects the British Duke three-thirds.

Wu Yuan was so arrogant that he uttered nonsense in front of his followers, but once he actually faced his grandson, the words he cursed Li Ji just now were like a dumb thunder in his mouth, and it was uncomfortable to swallow and spit out.

The more Xue Na scolded, the more angry he became. Seeing that he was about to roll up his sleeves, Li Qinzai grabbed him.

Xue Rengui has just made great achievements at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. Three arrows set Tianshan Mountain to create a legend through the ages. My son still wants to fight, so don't cause trouble for his father at this juncture.

Besides, Li Qinzai was the person involved.

Pulling Xue Na back, Li Qinzai stared at Wu Yuanshuang and smiled, and said, "But Young Supervisor Wu is in person?"

Wu Yuanshuang's face was stiff, and he tried to squeeze out a smile: "Wu has met Li Shaojian."

Li Qinzai said leisurely: "Mr. Li accidentally heard what Young Supervisor Wu said just now. Although my grandfather is almost 70 years old, he is still healthy and strong. If there is no accident, he should have several decades to live. Young Supervisor Wu may have miscalculated. "

Wu Yuan suddenly felt his cheeks burning hot, which was more uncomfortable than a slap in the face.

But he didn't dare to go back, because Li Ji's name was too famous, and when the incident became serious and spread, even his queen sister would not stand by him.

Wu Yuanshuang is a small person, but he is not a small person with no brains at all. He also knows how to weigh the pros and cons. At the beginning, he decisively compromised with Li Qinzai because of the [-] catties of pig iron, which was also the result of weighing the pros and cons.

But at this time today, after weighing the pros and cons, Wu Yuanshuang found that he was completely unreasonable, so he had no choice but to compromise again.

"Li Shaojian forgives the crime. Just now Wu was drunk and talked nonsense after drinking. Li Shaojian must not take it seriously. Wu has no intention of offending Mr. Li."

Speaking of this, Wu Yuanshuang bowed to Li Qinzai as an apology.

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "It's okay, a few words will not kill you, and you won't lose a piece of meat. It's just my grievances with Wu Shaojian, don't involve the old man in the family..."

"Li was born in a general family, and the whole family has a bad temper. If Wu Shaojian's words reach the ears of my parents, I'm afraid it will cause another disturbance."

Wu Yuanshuang's face was ashen, listening to the soft words, he actually smiled with a hidden knife, implying a threat, which was tantamount to warning him face to face that he had better keep his mouth clean in the future, don't wait for me to slap you.

Gritting his teeth and nodding, Wu Yuanshuang clasped his fists together again: "It's Wu Menglang, I must be virtuous when drinking in the future."

Li Qinzai said indifferently: "Forget it, today I have met Shaojian Wu, the future will be long, and I will see you again by fate."

After finishing speaking, Li Qinzai bowed his hands in a perfunctory manner, leading Xue Na and Gao Qi back to his Accord.

After returning to Ya Ge, Xue Na's face was filled with displeasure: "Brother Jing Chu, why didn't you beat him to death just now? It's not in your temper!"

Li Qinzai sighed: "We are all grown-ups, and we have to form some meaningful enmity, either killing the father and taking the wife, or fighting for power and profit. This is understandable. Enmity for the sake of verbal disputes is the most important thing." Childish, I'm not interested in doing such a thing."

Xue Na stared at him blankly, and said, "Brother Jingchu, you have changed so much..."

"A man has something to do, and something not to do. Brother Shen Yan, you still need to settle down more, so as not to cause some meaningless disasters in the future."

Xue Na didn't say a word, and took up the wine cup with an aggrieved expression and drank it down in one gulp.

Gao Qi next to him nodded thoughtfully. He found that he had learned a lot from Li Qinzai today.

After a small turmoil, the mood of the three people in Accord was affected. After drinking a few glasses of wine in a dull mood, they planned to go home separately.

The three of them walked out of the inner teaching workshop. Just as they crossed the threshold, they suddenly found that Wu Yuanshuang and a group of followers were also outside the door. Obviously, everyone was not in a good mood and decided to leave early.

When the two groups of people met again, Li Qinzai and Wu Yuanshuang were stunned for a moment, then nodded silently, as a greeting, but they didn't intend to go forward.

Waiting for the time when his coachman led the horse, Wu Yuanshuang and his followers got together and chatted in a low voice.

It was already dark, and a lame old man walked slowly not far away.

The old man was just passing by. He walked very hard, carrying an old bundle in his hand, and walked in a hurry while looking up at the direction of the city gate.

It was already dark, and it was evident that the old man intended to leave the city before the gates closed.

It is not convenient for the lame old man to walk, so he passed by Wu Yuanshuang.Seeing the gloomy expressions of this group of people, the old man seemed to be holding back his anger and reeked of alcohol.

The old man felt a little nervous at once, and subconsciously wanted to take a few steps away, but he didn't know that his lame leg didn't listen to him, and he staggered, and he fell towards Wu Yuanshuang, and his clumsy body bumped into Wu Yuanshuang.

He bumped into someone, and he looked like a group of nobles in his attire. The old man was frightened, and hurriedly bowed and apologized.

Wu Yuanshuang and this group of attendants were already full of anger in the Accord today. They didn't dare to vent their anger to Li Qinzai, but they were not at all polite to this disabled old man.

With some drunkenness and long-suppressed anger, Wu Yuanshuang vented his anger on the old man at this moment.

With a crisp slap, the old man was slapped hard by Wu Yuanshuang.

"Dog slave! Are you lame and blind?" Wu Yuan said angrily.

The crisp sound attracted Li Qinzai's attention. He turned his head and saw a disabled old man covering his face with one hand, and kept bowing to apologize.

Li Qinzai frowned.

This scene is difficult to calm down and choose to ignore.

Datang, it shouldn't be like this.

Wu Yuanshuang didn't care about other people's eyes at all, since the fight started, he kicked and scolded the old man without any scruples.

While apologizing, the old man was kicked by Wu Yuanshuang and staggered back.

Li Qinzai couldn't stand it anymore.

What he saw was not the rich and powerful bullying the weak, but what he saw was the peaceful world of the Tang Dynasty, a grain of rat droppings fell into the soup, completely destroying his original good impression of the Tang Dynasty.

This scene should never happen to his beloved Datang.
