Gong Shilin thought that he had gotten rid of that troublesome Li Cheng.
Who knew —
The Li family's carriage caught up from behind.
It went to his side.
Li Cheng lifted the curtain, half of his body sticking out of the window.
He said, "Hey, can you not be so petty? I was only locked up for a while. I didn't lose an arm or a leg. What's there to be unhappy about? You're a man, do you have to be like this? "
Do!
If word got out, it would be so embarrassing!
Gong Shilin ignored him.
He continued to walk forward, looking straight ahead.
The carriage had also been following him all this time.
The slower he was, the slower the carriage would be.
The faster he was, the faster the carriage would be.
The scene was harmonious and slightly comical at the same time. Half of Li Cheng's body was still hanging out of the window, and he kept saying, "Alright, this matter is over. You don't have to feel bad about it! Because I should be the one feeling the most uncomfortable. You know that I care about my sister the most, and I can't bear to see her being wronged. Who can stand her marrying someone like you?
？”
Gong Shilin's footsteps suddenly stopped.
The carriage also stopped.
What did he mean by "someone like you"?
Gong Shilin was speechless.
He then looked at Li Cheng.
He said very seriously, "Li Cheng, let me tell you for the last time. My marriage and your sister's marriage are not up to us to decide. Perhaps this is the helplessness of being born in the Li and Gong families. Perhaps one day, you won't be able to make your own decisions. "
He kept a straight face.
Li Cheng was stunned.
He had never seen Gong Shilin so serious before.
These words were also swirling in Li Cheng's mind.
Before he could digest them, Gong Shilin had already left.
Li Cheng jumped off the carriage and chased after him. He blocked Gong Shilin's way and said, "I've already said that today's matter will be treated as if it never happened. I won't care about the matter between you and my sister for now, but how do you intend to repay what you owe me?"
What?
Gong Shilin thought that he had heard wrongly.
Owe?
Where did this' owe 'come from?
Ever since he was young, it was always Li Cheng who chased after him, scolded him, and beat him up.
Everyone in Gaoding knew that they were incompatible like fire and water. They also knew that the young master of the Gong family couldn't defeat the heir of the Li family and was often bullied.
So if they owed something, it should be Li Cheng who owed him.
Why was it the other way around?
"When did I owe you anything?" Gong Shilin asked.
"When I was young!"
"What are you trying to say?"
"If it wasn't for you, would I have been laughed at back then? Also, if it wasn't for you complaining, I wouldn't have been beaten by my father. Do you know that I was almost beaten to death at that time? It was all because of you! "Li Cheng questioned.
His face was filled with resentment and anger.
Gong Shilin finally understood that this kid still had the same attitude as when he was young.
"Li Cheng, I didn't complain. I didn't say anything about what happened back then."
"Who else could it be if not you? Good boy, you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it! "
Gong Shilin couldn't be bothered to argue with him and said, "Whatever you think."
She walked around him and left.
Li Cheng reached out and grabbed Gong Shilin's clothes in time.
He pulled it in front of him.
"Get in the car with me!"
He then carried him into the carriage.
"What are you doing?" Gong Shilin shouted.
"It's snowing so heavily. Do you think you can walk back?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
"If you freeze to death on the way back, it has something to do with me," Li Cheng said.
Gong Shilin was speechless. Because he didn't have enough strength, he was dragged into the carriage and couldn't get out.
Li Cheng said to the coachman, "Let's go to Minister Gong's residence."
"Yes!"
The coachman answered.
Gong Shilin sat inside and tidied up his clothes. His face was full of discomfort.
He also felt helpless.
Li Cheng said, "Let's continue what we just said. It's time for you to pay me back for what you owe me."
Gong Shilin said, "Just say it."
"Okay!" Li Cheng approached him. "Aren't you working at Hanlin Academy?"
Huh?
Why was he suddenly talking about an official position?
Gong Shilin said, "So?"
He had a bad premonition!
He felt that there was something fishy about Li Cheng.
Li Cheng said, "Hanlin Academy is a civil servant. You must often need to check some information."
"So?"
"And you often go to the Ministry of Revenue, right?"
"So?"
"So … I want you to give me a written order!" Li Cheng said domineeringly.
Gong Shilin knew what he was thinking, but he was confused. "What do you want a written order for?" "You don't have to worry about that. Anyway, I want to go to the archives of the Ministry of Revenue, so I need a written order. The people of Hanlin Academy go in and out of the Ministry of Revenue the most, so it's the most convenient to get a written order from you. Moreover, only Hanlin Academy can issue an order directly without asking for permission.
You just have to write one for me. "His tone was irrefutable.
"Why should I write it for you!"
"Because you owe me."
"Li Cheng, I don't owe you. What happened back then had nothing to do with me. I didn't say it out loud."
"Alright, don't push the blame away. Who else could it be other than you?"
"Anyway, it wasn't me." Gong Shilin was angry.
"Don't change the topic. Written order, are you going to write it? Or not? "
Gong Shilin told him seriously, "Li Cheng, when will you grow up? Do you know what a written order is? What does it mean? "
Li Cheng crossed his arms and leaned against the wall of the carriage. "I don't care about that."
"You really can't be taught."
"Then are you going to give it to me? Or not? "
"I'm not giving it to you!"
"You …"
Gong Shilin would rather die than submit.
He didn't fall for Li Cheng's threat at all.
In the end, he could only change the battle line.
Li Cheng also softened.
"Gong Shilin, the grudges between us have been going on for so many years. Although I beat you and scolded you, we grew up together. Even if we don't have friendship, we still have friendship, right? You can't even help me with this small favor? "" This is not a small favor. " Gong Shilin explained the situation to him. "A written order can't be casually written, and it's not something you can get just because you want it. Every department has a close relationship. You're not a member of the Six Ministries, nor are you from Hanlin Academy. If you want to get a written order to go to the Ministry of Revenue, you need to ask for permission.
Besides, Hanlin Academy is not connected to the City Revenue. How can they give you a written order? "
He explained the situation clearly.
But Li Cheng didn't care so much.
"I believe you must have a way!"
"I can't help you." "You don't have to be so stubborn, do you? If it's because of the official business of the City Revenue, I can go at any time. But this is not official business, and I can't get a written order. The only person I can think of is you, and only your Hanlin Academy can directly write an order without asking for permission from the King.
I really don't have a way, so I thought of you. Otherwise, do you think I want to ask you for help? "
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Anyway, it's not illegal, and it won't affect your Hanlin Academy. I just want to go in and check something."
