Chapter 51 [Difficulties of someone hurting]
The little things in the house didn't take long, everyone washed and tidied up, Qi Yu casually ordered the steward to find someone to repair the roof.
Seeing that there was no time for breakfast, he was too lazy to go to the flower hall again, but when he passed the front yard, he saw that Wen Yanzhi and Gong Zhiyuan had also packed up, as if they were about to go out.
"Where are you going?" Qi Yu asked after a pause.
Wen Yanzhi turned his head when he heard the words, "Brother Gong and I want to go to the shipyard to see the shipbuilding."
Hearing this, Qi Yu beckoned and waved to his servants, "You should bring more people, otherwise something bad will happen to you." After a while, ten warriors who looked like servants ran over, all of them were tall and mighty look like.
Wen Yanzhi froze at the door for an instant, unable to step out: "...what's the matter?" It's not like going out to bully the market.
Qi Yu didn't have time to say more, so he just ordered people to follow Wen Yanzhi and the two of them closely, and finally took another look at Wen Yanzhi, sighed, and finally went out.Ten mighty servants immediately surrounded Wen Yanzhi and Gong Zhiyuan.
"...Brother Wen, do you still want to go?" Gong Zhiyuan looked around worriedly, "Will people think that we are going to mess things up if we take it to the shipyard like this?"
"...That's not true." Wen Yanzhi's face looked as if he had eaten bran, "Forget it, I don't want to go. The steward will find someone to repair the eaves. Let's just stay here."
Seeing his expression, Gong Zhiyuan couldn't laugh or cry.
——If someone really hurts, it has its own difficulties.
——Brother Wen, just accept it with a smile.
A day goes by in various ways, looking up at the morning glow, looking down at the setting sun.There were so many involved in the case of officials in Xuzhou, Qi Yu went on trial until the sky was gray and the cold evening was just beginning to come out of the censor prison.
He never thought that he would not be free to eat today, he sat in the hall all day long, and was so angry by those bastard officials, now standing on the street, he feels his eyes are blurry.Li Gengnian hurried to find a restaurant to arrange a meal for him, but Qi Yu waved his hands and said: "Let's go back, so as not to attract attention outside."
Li Gengnian turned back again, and smiled secretly: "Go back? Is the emperor afraid of attracting attention? Isn't he afraid of other things?"
Qi Yu rubbed his forehead with his hand, and slashed at him with smiling eyes: "Li Gengnian, you have a temper, and I can make jokes?" He raised his foot and wanted to kick Li Gengnian, but he couldn't Thinking of something again, I stopped, and just settled down and walked outside the Yushi prison.
"Hey hey, don't be angry, Your Majesty. I envy you. I have Wen Yuanwai." Li Gengnian followed behind and said with a smile, "When I first saw Yuan Wen, I thought I was exactly the same as those old scholars in the court. And a bold one."
"I'm not too courageous to take care of Qin Wenshu's case?" Qi Yu smiled angrily, thinking that Wen Yanzhi, who dared to criticize the former emperor's old case, fell unconscious by the side of the stone stream a few days ago. Muscles to the end, don't know what fear is, all day long in a daze, don't know how he got the number one in the exam, he owed a lot of hard work.
Li Gengnian clicked his tongue twice, and said with emotion: "There are not many people who are so daring in today's court."
—That's true.Besides, Qi Yu suddenly thought of what Wen Yanzhi said to Gong Zhiyuan that day in the house, since he was not afraid to tell the clan about the masculinity, but also felt that if there was no result, he would become a monk and become a Taoist. The appearance of going all out.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help smiling, but he heard Li Gengnian behind him mumble, "...it's really enviable."
Qi Yu stopped, turned around on the noisy street, and looked at Li Gengnian: "Who is enviable?"
Li Gengnian didn't pay attention to what he said, and was immediately embarrassed, scratched his head and smiled: "Haha, I think that the daring aura of Wen Yuanwai is very chic and enviable, hahaha."
Qi Yu snorted and lowered his voice: "You think he is too brave to dare to be with me."
Li Gengnian laughed loudly: "The emperor understands it, so don't say it."
Qi Yu just looked at Li Gengnian like this, looked at his innocent smile, frowned, and suddenly remembered a question Wen Yanzhi asked last night, and couldn't help asking: "Although many years have passed, but... Back then, with Qi Zheng, did you... have any...?"
The smile on Li Gengnian's face seemed to be frozen instantly, and he said stiffly, "Have...what happened?"
Qi Yu withdrew his gaze, thought for a while, felt a little embarrassed, then stopped speaking again, just turned around and continued walking forward.
When the two men talked about this kind of thing, it didn't look right. When Li Gengnian saw that Qi Yu didn't ask any more questions, he naturally fell silent. Afterwards, he also picked happy things to say, and didn't mention anything wrong.
——But, after all, has there been...?
He really wanted to say, yes.
Really, really want to.
When the two returned to the house, the steward reported to Qi Yu that the house in the back room had been repaired.Qi Yu went to the North Courtyard to change clothes, Li Gengnian jumped to the study room to have a look, and sure enough, he saw that the roof tiles had been repaired, not only that, but also the residual paint corners of the pillars, which was considered very elegant.
He was the one who lost his composure and broke the roof last night. He was always very sorry, and wanted to ask the steward how much money was spent, so he posted it himself to show his heart.
Just after jumping off the roof, he ran into Gong Zhiyuan who had finished eating in the corridor, and greeted him as he walked towards Wen Yanzhi's courtyard: "Hey, Guard Li is back! Craftsman, the craftsmanship is really good, Brother Wen and I watched it here all afternoon, it seemed like we were watching juggling, but it was interesting, his kung fu was exactly the same as the masters in the book."
"What?" Li Gengnian stopped, pointing to his nose: "The craftsman I'm looking for?"
Gong Zhiyuan blinked: "Yes, that man said that you came to him early in the morning, and Brother Wen asked for money when he left, but he said you had already paid. How, how much does it cost to repair that roof? It's so high Man, it must be quite expensive, right?"
Li Gengnian's expression became uglier the more he heard it, but this matter had nothing to do with Gong Zhiyuan, so he could only hold back his breath and let out a "huh".The next moment, he walked quickly to the backyard and asked a few hidden guards to take over his tasks, then he went out of the house and went straight to Shen's residence.
The Shen Mansion was completed in the alley facing the river mouth of the Shang City, it was considered a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.Pedestrians walked outside for a stick of incense, but they thought it was an ordinary street wall, and they needed to be told by someone to know that they hadn't walked all the way through the courtyard wall of Shen's residence.Shen's mansion can't see mountains and rivers from the outside, it looks like a residential area, but if it is transformed into a bird, it can be seen in mid-air, a few miles to the north of the river mouth, there are seven or eight large courtyards, and the moon gate is neatly screened , and spans more than ten places such as courtyards, corridors, and terraces, among which is very elegant.
Of course Li Gengnian didn't come to see the scenery, he only explained his purpose at the gatehouse, saying that he wanted to see Shen Youfang.
The concierge was quite embarrassed, and said: "It's the tenth day of the lunar new year. The master went out to check the accounts in the morning, but he hasn't returned yet. A follower came back in the afternoon and said that the master is still at the pier and will not come back for dinner. If we have dinner now , I guess it’s the Yueshan Tower on the other side of the pier.”
When Li Gengnian got this letter, he turned around and left without any delay.Not long after, people arrived at the wharf, and saw that the eighteen pier wharves at the mouth of the Inner Sea were full of complicated logistics. Although it was dusk, there were still a lot of people. Inner Sea, the word "Yueshan" is written on the plaque on the gate.
Li Gengnian opened the gate and went in, the hall student greeted him politely, he looked around but did not see Shen Youfang, so he asked: "Your boss, Mr. Shen, can you be here?"
The student was in a bit of a dilemma: "Yes, but you also know that the owner is the most taboo to disturb the meal, why don't you wait below, and I will pour you a glass of water later?"
Li Gengnian was angry, how could he wait, he just waved his hand: "Tell me where he is, I'll go find him myself."
Tang Sheng saw the person in the black robe with sword sleeves and held his sword, as if he couldn't provoke him, so he pointed at the second floor with trembling hands, and slowly stepped aside.Li Gengnian walked to the pointed private room, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, stepped in two steps: "Shen Youfang!"
The private room was very large, surrounded by colorful walls, and furnished in a simple and simple way. There was only Shen Youfang in it, with a table of dishes in front of him, and it was quiet.At this time Li Gengnian broke in suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, then put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the square scarf and nodded slightly: "What kind of wind has brought Guard Li here. After I was last night, will Guard Li not I would like to enter the door of my Shen residence."
Without further ado, Li Gengnian put the sword in his hand on the table and sat opposite him: "What do you mean?"
Shen Youfang smiled: "Shen doesn't know what Guard Li means."
"The craftsman, the house repairer." Li Gengnian felt very humiliated in his heart, and his face was a little red. Neither owes anything."
Shen Youfang was about to speak, but someone knocked on the door twice, and pushed in. It was the student from just now, who glanced at Li Gengnian, and tremblingly said: "Boss, little one—"
"It doesn't matter." Shen Youfang said indifferently, "You just add a pair of bowls and chopsticks. I don't think Li Shiwei looks like he has eaten, so it's better to make it together."
The student repeatedly agreed and ran down.
"Hey come back—hey," Li Gengnian said no to the student, and turned his head to look at Shen Youfang inexplicably, "I said Mr. Shen, who wants to eat with you! I just came to give you the craftsman's money!"
"Interesting," Shen Youfang smiled and pushed the steamer in front of him forward, and said earnestly: "The people who come to Shen's residence always ask for money, but only guard Li brought the money. Shen is very touched."
A smell of mixed noodles and meat wafted over, Li Gengnian stared down at the big steamed bun in the steamer in front of him, swallowed, and said calmly, "Mr. Shen, what do you mean by that?"
Shen Youfang thought he was talking about repairing the craftsman, so he laughed lightly, "The craftsman is just a family craftsman of Shen's residence, Shen is also responsible for what happened last night, how could it be Li guard who is responsible for it all."
"It's not just the craftsman, I mean last night!" Li Gengnian held the sword, his face turned cold, "I don't care when you found out about that, but if you dare to mention it again in the future, I will cut you off." head."
Shen Youfang raised his head to look at him, and raised the corners of his lips. At this time, someone knocked on the door again, and it was the student who just brought up a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then closed the door and went out.
The atmosphere was still a bit tense, but Shen Youfang looked at Li Gengnian, who was staring like an iceberg, but he picked up the bowl to scoop up the soup, and handed it to him: "There are quite a few people who want to cut my head off in recent years. There are no ones who have succeeded yet, and you are not one more at this time. Let’s drink the soup first, although the crude food is not as good as that in the palace, it is even worse if it is cold.”
Li Gengnian was stunned by his neither salty nor light gas, he pushed the bowl away and said, "Don't drink it! Tell me how much the craftsman paid first! I'll make it up for you!"
Shen Youfang smiled coolly, "Your salary is only so much a year, and you have helped many orphans in the suburbs of Beijing, and you like to do good deeds for Qi Zheng, so let's forget how much money you have now."
With a clanging sound, the sword in Li Gengnian's hand was unsheathed by three inches, "Are you courting death?"
This appearance made Shen Youfang laugh even more, "Shen likes to know the basics when doing business. Anyway, the people involved in the flood control case have been investigated, so it is not difficult for you to investigate. However," he pursed his mouth, "you don't know. It's also lackluster, I must have been trapped in the princess mansion for half my life, and it's exhausting just to please Qi Zheng."
Li Gengnian tried his best to hold down the sword in his hand, and sneered: "What? No one pleases you, are you jealous?"
"Jealous?" Shen Youfang looked at him quietly and said, "Most half of Xuzhou City is waiting for me to take care of it. I will seal everything on the eighteen pier wharves. Even the water transport under your emperor's control, I have to nod before I can let it go. Live. I can't take care of people's affairs, so I don't have the spare time to deal with the dead."
"Marquis Zhenjun is the royal family of the Tian family," Li Gengnian gritted his teeth, "Shen Youfang, show some respect!"
Shen Youfang smiled and leaned back: "Okay, okay, you respect him, respect him until he is dying, isn't he still alone."
These words were like a slap on Li Gengnian's face, completely blinded him, his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't even utter a word.
The smile on Shen Youfang's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes gradually turned cold: "Look, after all, Qi Zheng is not your pain point. Qi Zheng's death is your pain point."
Li Gengnian's face was frosty, his brows trembling, he put away his sword and stood up, "Don't think that I won't dare to touch you if you have some money because of the flood control case. I don't want to mess with you today, and tomorrow you will send the account of the craftsman to me." Going to Liu Shilang's residence is my business, and you don't need to intervene." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Now I'm acting like I'm daring, and I'm still going to leave." Shen Youfang still leaned on the back of his chair with that unbeatable look, as if he was watching a play, "Aren't you going to draw your sword and cut me? , Wasn’t it quite fierce just now? That person is gone, what’s the point of you making such a fuss? Who could have seen it? If I knew this, then when Qi Zheng liked you, why did you—”
"Shut up!" Li Gengnian turned around instantly and pulled out his sword. The sword pointed directly at Shen Youfang, his eyes seemed to seal the snow in the cold night, sad or angry: "I don't care how you found out, but you If you say one more word, I will kill you."
Shen Youfang looked at him for a long time: "Kill me, can you change the facts? Kill me, you are cowardly, and you are still so cowardly, you are useless, and you are still so useless. Qi Zheng is much better than you, people dare to act , the only son of the princess, spoiled by the Tian family, because of you, he has been sensual for 20 years, how much he likes you, what? Do you not like men, or do you not like him? Are you afraid to like him? Or are you afraid of liking him?"
When he said this, he leaned towards the tip of the sword even more aggressively, with a playful smile on his face: "Why don't you tell me what Qi Zheng said to you before he died? Are you questioning you? Why can't I like him until death?"
Li Gengnian put his sword up to his neck, the blade cut through Shen Youfang's shoulder, and said harshly, "Shen Youfang, take care of yourself first."
The next moment, the hall only heard the sound of Jin Ge coming from the second floor.
