"Boss, if you ask me, those kids would be satisfied if you gave them ten copper coins each. Why do you have to give them so much?"
In a small tavern in the East Market, a hooligan-looking young man said as he ate.
"Humph! What do you know! This time, the higher-ups gave us an extra five copper coins as a reward for our hard work. If we continue to embezzle and are discovered by the higher-ups, how can we get a share of such a good thing next time? "
The burly man opposite the young man happily took a sip of wine and said snappily.
This person was Biaozi, who led a group of children to Cui Shanyou's house to shit in the morning. Biaozi was a hooligan in the southern part of Chang 'an City. He had more than ten underlings under him. He was trustworthy and had no ambition, but he treated his own people very well. Therefore, his underlings were willing to follow him. If the rich had anything inconvenient to do, they liked to ask him to do it.
"Hehe, boss is wise! Boss is wise! "
The lackey hurriedly gave him a loud and clear flattery.
"Haha! You have good taste! "
"But boss, who do you think came to us this time? Why would they make such a strange request? And the reward is so high. Is there something wrong with this person's brain? "
Another follower asked with a grin.
"Slap!"
"There's something wrong with your brain! They have money, so they can do whatever they want. Why do you care so much? If they didn't give you money, you would still be begging on the streets! "
Biaozi was so angry that he slapped the underling's head.
"Ah! Boss is right, boss is right! "
.....
"Xuan 'er, why did His Majesty let you attend the morning court today? Did something happen? "
After bragging to Old Cheng in front of the palace gate for a while and sarcastically ridiculing Lu Yanyu and the others, Li Zexuan happily returned home and met his father, who was full of worry.
Li Zexuan's father did not know that Li Er had given Li Zexuan "special treatment" yesterday. In order to prevent his parents from worrying, Li Zexuan did not tell Li Jingmo about Cui Shanyou and the others' impeachment. He only said that Li Er had asked him to attend the morning court today, but did not elaborate on the reason.
However, Li Jingmo was a shrewd person. He more or less guessed it, but since his son did not say it, he did not ask.
"Father, it's nothing serious. It's just a few impeachments! I've already taken care of it! "
Li Zexuan laughed and said without care.
As it turned out, apart from Cui Shanyou, the rest of the eight professors from the Imperial College could not withstand a single blow. There was no need to worry his parents because of them.
"Impeachment? Who dares impeach my son? My Xuan 'er is conscientious in the Imperial College, working hard to cultivate talents for the Imperial Court. Why do they still want to impeach him? "
Madam Li, who had come with Father Li, said indignantly.
Li Zexuan's face turned red from the praise. "Conscientious" and "painstaking", were they talking about him?
"Ahem, Mother, it's okay. Those who can withstand the hardships of heaven are really men of iron. Those who are not envied are mediocre. I've done too well in the Imperial College, so it's inevitable that others will be jealous! Don't worry, His Majesty knows what I've done! He won't do anything to me because of those people! "
In order to reassure his parents, Li Zexuan threw caution to the wind and boasted of his own abilities.
"Eh! Brother, you're really thick-skinned! "
Lan 'er ran over and made a "shy" face as she giggled.
"Hey, little girl, you're really asking for a beating!"
"Ah! No! "
Li Zexuan pretended to hit her, and Lan 'er was so scared that she ran all over the courtyard.
Li Zexuan's parents looked at their children playing in the courtyard with a warm expression. They felt that it was really good to be together as a family.
.....
"Good friend, are you alright?"
Imperial Physician Department.
Lu Yanyu, Zheng Zhanli, and the others, who had just finished the morning court, came to the Imperial Physician Department to visit Cui Shanyou.
"Oh, it's nothing serious. Yanyu, how was the court today? Did His Majesty punish Li Zexuan severely? "
With Zheng Zhanli's help, Cui Shanyou sat up and leaned against the headboard as he asked weakly.
He was old, and his vitality was already weak. Cui Shanyou's vomiting of blood was really a big blow to his vitality.
"Uh … Brother Cui, His Majesty didn't discuss our impeachment of Li Zexuan during the morning court today?"
Lu Yanyu said submissively.
"What? How … Ahem … Ahem! "
"Brother Cui, calm down, calm down. His Majesty said that we'll discuss this matter separately after you recover. Your health is more important! You must take care! "
Cui Shanyou was so anxious that his blood rushed to his head, and he couldn't help but cough. Zheng Zhanli quickly patted his back and comforted him.
"Sigh, you guys don't understand! This time, we could've caught Li Zexuan off guard, but we didn't expect this to happen. I can only blame myself for not being able to keep my composure. Sigh, as the saying goes, the first drum builds the spirit, the second will weaken, and the third will be exhausted. After this incident, Li Zexuan will be prepared. Next time, even if I fight him personally, I'm afraid that I won't be his match! "
Cui Shanyou said with a worried face.
The others also understood that Cui Shanyou was telling the truth, and they couldn't help but feel frustrated. They secretly regretted not standing up for Cui Shanyou in the court. The room fell into silence.
"Fine, fine! Yanyu, tell me in detail what happened in the imperial court today. "
Cui Shanyou sighed and accepted his fate.
"Mm, okay! Then I'll tell you in detail. "
.....
"Hehe, Little Xuan, I heard that you made Cui Bo of the Imperial Academy vomit blood today! Haha, tell me about it. "
"Yes, yes! Sir, tell me quickly. Now many people in Chang 'an City are saying that a few doctors in the Imperial Academy ate sh * t. Is it true? "
In the afternoon, Cheng Chumo, who was bored at home, and Li Yu, who came out to "collect literature and find inspiration," came to the Li Mansion to look for Li Zexuan to play. In fact, they came to listen to Li Zexuan, the person involved, talk about the interesting incident that happened on Murky Lake in the morning.
In the morning, there were so many people present, and the news of "the doctors of the Imperial Academy ate sh * t" had spread like wildfire. However, listening to others say it was more interesting than hearing it from Li Zexuan, the person involved.
"Oh ~? This matter has spread like wildfire? "
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He really didn't know about this.
"Yes! It's been spreading for a long time! When I went to the workshop this morning, I heard people talking about it! "
Li Yu smiled sweetly.
"Hey, my father said that this matter must be caused by you, Little Xuan! Tell me honestly, how did you do it? I, Old Cheng, want to try it in the future? "
Cheng Chumo narrowed his eyes and smiled evilly.
"Get lost! How can you say something like that? This matter has nothing to do with me at all! "
Li Zexuan kicked Cheng Chumo and said.
"Okay, okay, okay! If you say it has nothing to do with you, then it has nothing to do with you! Hurry up and tell us! "
Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
"Okay! Since you want to hear it, then I'll tell you! Oh, right, Little Yu, you have to listen carefully! With a little editing, it can be good news material! "
Li Zexuan rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.
