Chapter 206 Provocation and revenge
There is no banquet that will last forever in the world. The Zheng family’s birthday banquet finally came to an end with a lot of toasts, and the guests began to leave the Alum Tower one after another and go home.
Li Yanqing got rid of Qin Hui's flattery and walked out of the alum building through a small door. Looking at the full moon in the night sky, he breathed a long breath, allowing the breeze of the night to wake up his drowsy mind.
"Li Shaojun, please take a step slowly."
Qin Hui chased after him like a shadow. Li Yanqing could no longer bear it. He drew his sword and glared at him, "Do you dare to follow me again, believe it or not, I will kill you with one sword!"
Qin Hui was startled and bowed five or six steps away from Li Yanqing and said, "The official just wanted to ask Shaojun to introduce Master Liang to me, and there was no intention of harassment!"
Although Li Yanqing knew that Qin Hui was just a representative of the interests of the traditional civil servants of the Song Dynasty. As long as there was a powerful civil servant, even if Qin Hui was killed, Zhang Hui and Wang Hui would still be there. But when he thought that Yue Fei died in Qin Hui in history, Li Yanqing couldn't help but have murderous intent in his heart.
He finally restrained his murderous intent and said coldly: "I will warn you at the end, if you don't want to die, the farther away from me, as possible. If you don't believe it, then I can't do anything."
After Li Yanqing finished speaking, he put his sword in the sheath, turned around and left with great strides. Qin Hui felt the utterness in Li Yanqing's tone. He did not dare to follow him again. He stood there for a moment, and had to sigh and turn back to the alum building.
The Alum Tower was stopped by officials, and private ox carts were not allowed to pass. Li Yanqing couldn't hire a ox cart for a while, so he simply walked outside the Zhuque Gate. The Taixue was not too far from the Alum Tower, only five miles away.
He walked leisurely with Gao Yanei's iron fan as if he was walking. After about a mile, Li Yanqing suddenly felt someone following him behind him. He quickly turned around and pretended to look at the moon. The few people behind him hurriedly dodged, and it turned out that they were following him.
Li Yanqing pinched the hilt of the sword, turned around and walked towards a lively street on the left. This street is called Yujiaozi Street, which is a famous street stall night market in Bianjing.
The streets are very lively, filled with various street stalls, with hawking sounds one after another, and all kinds of cheap gadgets are available.
After walking more than twenty steps, Li Yanqing swept back from the corner of his eyes. Those people were still following him from afar, as if there were still quite a few people. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Ten was the minions sent by Gao Yanei. He threw the fan and couldn't swallow this breath.
Li Yanqing's eyes swept to the street stalls on both sides. At this time, he found a street stall selling chess. He walked up to him and squatted down and asked, "Is there any chess made of stone?"
The chess piece sold was a couple in their thirties. The man wore a bull-haired and a short-clothed dress, and his wife wore a copper hairpin and a coarse cloth twig skirt.
Their business was not very good, and someone suddenly asked, and the couple said enthusiastically: "Of course there is! Our Go and chess are made of stones."
"Take a pair of chess and show me, it's a little bigger."
Li Yanqing said while looking at the person following him. He had already seen clearly that there were eight people in total. Recently, the people were dressed up by servants more than ten steps away, and they were all pretending to buy things.
At this time, the man found a pair of chess and handed it to Li Yanqing, "Is this OK?"
Li Yanqing glanced at him, he felt a little small, "Is it a little bigger?"
The man thought about it and found a pair of stone chess, each of which was the size of an orange. Li Yanqing picked up one and tried it. It felt very good, but unfortunately it was a little lighter.
"Is this what you grinded?"
"It was made by my wife's family. If a small official is interested, it will only cost twenty cents."
Li Yanqing had no copper coins on his body, so he took out a ingot of five taels of silver and handed it to them. The couple was startled and waved their hands in a hurry, "We can't find it!"
"You don't need to find it, but I want to buy fifty pairs of chess that are exactly the same as this one. The stone is a bit lighter. I want to grind it in granite and try to grind it rounder. Will you accept this business?"
"But I can't use so much money."
The street stall owner murmured: "At most two taels are enough."
"I will give you the extra money. I will ask you to come here in a few days."
The two were very grateful, and the man hurriedly said, "Thank you for your trust in the little official. The villain's surname is Wang, and he has been setting up a stall here to sell chess."
Li Yanqing poured a box of chess pieces into his arms, stood up and left quickly, and the person behind him quickly threw down his items and followed him.
Li Yanqing walked into another alley, but when he walked in, he found that it was a dead alley. He was about to withdraw, but seven or eight people had blocked the entrance of the alley, and each of them drew a short knife.
"Are you Taishi Liang's Mansion or Taiwei Gao's Mansion?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.
"Top the fan and we will only take one hand, otherwise this will be your place to die!"
"It seems that it's Gao Yanei's tyrant."
Li Yanqing spread the iron fan on the ground, put it on his chest and slapped it, and said with a smile: "Don't be a pity for such a good fan. I am a greedy person, afraid of death, and cherish my health. It's better to do this. I'll give each of you a silver ingot. You can go back and pay the job!"
These servants were all Gao Yanei's followers. They usually followed Gao Yanei as a hero and bullied the people. They were used to being rampant in Bianjing. If Gao Yanei hadn't repeatedly told them to take action in a secluded place, they would have besieged Li Yanqing long ago.
At this time, when they heard that Li Yanqing wanted to give the silver, they were immediately greedy and shouted to the first family: "Take out the silver and take a look!"
"Then I'll reward you with one ingot first!"
Li Yanqing waved his hand and a chess piece instantly hit him. Before he could react, he hit his forehead with a "bang!". The first Ding family fell into darkness and fainted.
The other servants were shocked and rushed towards Li Yanqing together. Li Yanqing took action like flying, and seven chess pieces hit the eyebrows of seven servants like rain. Li Yanqing took action only to end between the rise and fall of the rabbits, but the servants fell to the ground, and everyone was beaten to the coma.
At this time, Li Yanqing walked to the first clerk and kicked his temples lightly and seriously. The clerk slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and saw Li Yanqing squatting in front of him, playing with a sharp dagger in his hand. It was his dagger. From the corner of his eyes, he secretly swept to both sides, but saw his accomplices lying all over the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
At this time, Li Yanqing scratched his scalp and suddenly he was bleeding. Li Yanqing only heard him talking to himself, "If you peel it better, you can get a complete human skin."
The servant was so scared that he was out of his mind and begged: "The villain is wrong, grandpa spares the villain's life!"
Li Yanqing wiped the blood from the dagger on his face and said coldly: "I have always been polite and then soldiers when doing things. Go back and tell Gao Yanei that I killed Zhu Tao and Zhu Xie also killed him. If he also imagined Zhu Tao's death like that, I could help him!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and the dagger came out. He heard a vague scream of "Squeak!", and Li Yanqing stood up and left.
After a long time, he raised his head and found his dagger, but was so shocked that his tongue spit out his long hair. He saw his dagger nailing a bat to death on a big tree.
The first family member hurriedly pushed his companions to wake them up, and the eight people stumbled and fled.
Half an hour later, dozens of torches shone the alley like daytime. Gao Qiu and his son walked into the alley surrounded by more than a hundred servants. Gao Qiu waved his hand and the servants stood dozens of steps away. He walked forward with his hands behind his back, stared at the dagger on the tree for a moment, and turned around and asked his son: "How did this person offend you? You are not allowed to hide it, tell me honestly."
Gao Song thought of the death of his friend Zhu Tao. The dagger inserted into his forehead. Isn’t it the same as it is now? His legs trembled and did not dare to hide it at all, so he explained the incident in the Alum Tower in detail.
Gao Qiu became more and more popular as he heard it. Finally, he opened his eyes wide and glared at his son and said, "Since he can attend the Alum Tower Banquet, he must have a background. If he doesn't know what background he has, you dare to do it?"
"He doesn't have any background! It should be an invitation from Fatty Zheng."
"Fart! He would kill Zhu Tao without background? He would toast him without background? Did the Master Liang toast him? Did your brain be eaten by a dog?"
Gao Song was ashamed by his father's scolding, and lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Gao Qiu stared at the dagger and pondered for a long time, and whispered to himself: "It seems that Zhu Tao was really killed by this person. If I guess correctly, it should be the secret order issued by Zhao Kai. Could it be that the young scholar who followed Zhao Kai to Jiangnan was him?"
"What is my father talking about?" Gao Song was confused and confused.
Gao Qiu snorted heavily, "A wine bag, I don't even know the big things that happened in the court. What's the use of raising you? I might as well keep a dog!"
"The child knows his mistake, father, please calm down!"
Gao Qiu glared at Gao Song fiercely, and then reminded him: "This person is involved in the struggle for imperial power. The farther you are from him in the future, the better. You are not allowed to have any connection with him, do you hear it?"
"Boy remembered it."
"I'm not kidding. If I get involved in trouble by you, see how I peel your skin and suck your tendons!"
Gao Song was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word.
At this time, Gao Qiu said to a confidant next to him: "Investigate the details of this student, the more detailed the better!"
