Feeding his front teeth to pigs?
Only someone like Li Cheng would be able to think of something like this!
Gong Shilin frowned slightly. He felt that after listening to those words, his front teeth were shivering in the cold wind, as if they were about to freeze.
He took a breath and said seriously, "Li Cheng, I will try my best to help you, but you can't ask me to give you everything in one go. I am not a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. There are some things that I can't decide on. So, if you want me to help you, you have to wait."
What a sweet talk!
Li Cheng said, "Wait? Then give me an accurate time. "
"I don't have time."
"Are you kidding me?" "I have already said the reason that should be said. If you continue to be aggressive, I can't do anything. At worst, you can find someone else for help! If you want to remember the resentment between us in the past, just remember it. Anyway, we have been like this for many years. "Gong Shilin was not afraid of death.
As if boiling water was boiling.
He really talked until his mouth broke!
He said a lot of reasons to Li Cheng, but that person just refused to listen.
So, it was nonsense to say anything more.
He simply didn't want to help!
Seeing that this guy suddenly became tough, Li Cheng was really worried that he wouldn't help him.
After all, in the Hanlin Academy, the only person he knew was Gong Shilin.
And he couldn't threaten anyone else!
Then —
"Okay, okay, anyway, I won't force you. But you'd better keep this matter in mind and do it as soon as possible."
He made concessions.
Gong Shilin said calmly, "I will keep it in mind, but don't always drag me in the future."
"In any case, I've said it before. If you can help me with this matter, we'll write off all our past grievances. We don't owe each other anything."
"I mean it."
"I swear in the name of a man." Li Cheng looked sincere.
Gong Shilin nodded and tidied up his sleeves that had been pulled up earlier. "Alright."
He was about to return to the main hall.
But he was stopped by Li Cheng again.
Huh?
"What?" Gong Shilin was a little annoyed.
He just came out to pee!
Did he have to block him like this?
"I have one more thing to ask you."
"What?"
Li Cheng paused for a moment and said seriously, "Do you know Du Mubai?"
The sudden question made Gong Shilin's gaze tremble, but it was fleeting. He calmly replied, "Du Mubai! Yes, the Nan Shen scholar. Six years ago, he committed suicide by hanging himself in the study room. Aren't you investigating his case now? Why are you asking me? "
"I'm not referring to the things you've heard. I'm asking you, do you have any private dealings?"
"Why do you ask?" Gong Shilin's tone carried a hint of vigilance.
Li Cheng: "It doesn't matter why I'm suddenly asking this. Just tell me, do you guys have any private contact?"
Gong Shilin: "Yes!"
"Really?"
"Why? Is it strange?" Gong Shilin asked him back.
"My big brother said that you two know each other, but I didn't believe him." Li Cheng was astonished and said in disbelief, "But he never mentioned you, and you never mentioned him! What's your relationship? "
Gong Shilin's face was calm, and he said calmly, "Because there's nothing to talk about. I met him at a poetry meeting. At that time, I saw that he was talented, so we chatted a little more! We can be considered to know each other, but we didn't have much contact. If we really do, it should be because I recommended him. "
Li Cheng was confused, "What recommendation?"
"Why? Didn't Marquis Pingyang tell you that I was the one who recommended Du Mubai to him? "
Not at all!
All along, Li Cheng had thought that Du Mubai relied on his own knowledge to gain the appreciation of his father, so he was able to enter the residence as a disciple. He never thought that it was actually his sworn enemy who had been recommending him for many years.
He was instantly charred on the outside and tender on the inside! Gong Shilin saw the surprised look in his eyes, so he explained in detail, "Six years ago, I accidentally met Du Mubai at a poetry meeting. At that time, he wrote a poem. Because I thought the poem was good, I invited him to have a few cups of tea. We chatted for a while, and then I learned that he had a poor life.
But I didn't have any connections. Coincidentally, a few days later, my father brought me to visit your mansion. At that time, I mentioned it to Marquis Pingyang and also read Du Mubai's poem to your father. Marquis Pingyang praised it greatly, and then agreed to let Du Mubai enter your mansion as a disciple. "
"Six years ago? Why didn't I know? "
"You were not in Gao Ding those days! And I thought Marquis Pingyang had told you about it, so I never mentioned it to you. "
I see.
Li Cheng asked again, "What happened after that? You didn't contact each other again? "
"No."
"Did you see Du Mubai on the day he died?"
"No! I didn't know him very well. After I recommended him, he invited me for a drink. After that, we didn't contact each other again. "Gong Shilin spoke very sincerely, then asked again," But, why are you asking me this question? Why? Do you suspect that the person he met that day was me? "
Li Cheng deeply frowned, "I'm just asking you. If you don't, then forget it."
He didn't have the slightest doubt.
He was just wondering who Li Cheng went to meet that day.
Gong Shilin saw that he was stunned, so he asked again, "What are you thinking about?"
He regained his composure, "It's nothing, just letting my imagination run wild. Alright, I know what I want to know."
"Then let's hurry back to the banquet. Don't forget to make them wait."
Gong Shilin took the lead and left.
He just came out to pee, but he didn't expect to be blocked by Li Cheng at the toilet door and talked a lot of nonsense.
Li Cheng stood in the same place for a while, then hurriedly followed.
At this time, in the main hall.
Tuo Tuo sent away the dancing girls and then said to Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong, "Recently, your residence has acquired several warriors. Their martial arts are excellent, and not only that, they also know how to perform swordplay. How about we let them perform swordplay to liven things up?"
Ji Yunshu replied, "We will listen to your arrangements."
"Good!" Tuo Tuo was happy and shouted towards the door, "Someone, summon those warriors here. Let them perform swordplay. This Prince is in a good mood. If they perform well, I will heavily reward them."
"Yes!" The person outside answered.
Then, the four warriors arrived at the same time.
These four people were tall and strong. Their bulging muscles looked like they were about to burst open their clothes!
Each of them had a dark complexion and a fierce look in their eyes.
"Greetings, your Highness."
Tuo Tuo smiled, "The four of you, today this Prince has an honored guest. You will perform swordplay to liven things up. If you don't do your best, don't blame this Prince for being impolite. However, if you can make this Prince's guest happy, you will be heavily rewarded. Do you understand?"
