Being invited to a meal by Gyeong Of Silla, in the entire capital, there were only a few people who had this kind of qualification.
What these young people felt at this moment was naturally not that they were overwhelmed by the favor, but that they were terrified.
They were extremely regretful in their hearts. Why did they have to join in the fun today? At this moment, they were in a dilemma, but they did not dare to block the way, and they all retreated to the corner.
And the servants accompanying them hurriedly left.
As for the young scholar with a swollen face, his face was already ashen, paralyzed on the ground, and even his lips could not move.
Li Yi looked back at the fatty and said, "Do you want to sit down and eat together?"
"No need, no need …" Peng Er hurriedly shook his head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Gyeong Of Silla …"
Sitting at this table, one was Princess Shouning, and the other was His Highness Gyeong Of Silla. The matter of him selling fake test papers to His Highness Gyeong Of Silla was enough for him to brag for a lifetime. Eating at the same table with His Highness Gyeong Of Silla and Princess Shouning — what virtue or ability did he, Fatty Peng, have? Even the smoke on his ancestral grave did not dare to emit like this.
Li Yi no longer forced him. He looked at him and said, "You can be considered to have hands and feet. If you use your mouth to do business, you will definitely not lose money. In the future, it is better to do less of this kind of thing."
The woman next to Peng Er knelt in front of Li Yi and hurriedly said, "Brother Peng sold fake test papers just to treat my seriously ill mother. Please forgive him this time, Your Highness, we will definitely return the money in the future!"
"He was wrong to sell fake test papers, but those who intend to cheat are not righteous people …" Li Yi waved his hand and said, "In the future, it will be fine."
Peng Er nodded and said, "I will definitely remember Your Highness Gyeong Of Silla's teachings!"
Li Yi looked at him and suddenly asked, "Are you interested in working at Gyeong Of Silla's residence?"
He had had two brief encounters with Peng Er. Although his act of reselling fake exam papers seemed to be beneath him, the fact that he was able to stand out among all the fake exam dealers in the capital and successfully attract so much hatred showed that he still had a lot of redeeming qualities.
After all, there were so many unscrupulous dealers in the capital who sold fake test papers, but he was the only one who was beaten on the street.
This kind of person was born to do business. After they left this time, the Li family still needed a reliable person to take care of the business. This Peng Er would be of great use if he was properly trained.
Peng Er was stunned at first, but after he realized it, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Li family, of Li family, Your Highness, Gyeong Silla, Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Li Yi waved his hand and motioned for Peng Er to get up.
A middle-aged man in official robes walked in from the door. He tidied up his clothes and said respectfully, "This lowly official is the capital's Magistrate Lin Da. Greetings, Your Highness Gyeong Of Silla and Princess Shouning."
When Li Yi left, the capital's Magistrate was still Liu Dayou. Now that Liu Dayou had become the capital governor, this new Magistrate was a new face.
His face was a bit frightened as he said, "This lowly official was not strict enough and alarmed Your Highness. Please punish me!"
Li Yi looked at this Magistrate and asked, "Fighting in the street with no regard for human life, what about the law?"
The middle-aged man looked at the young man with a swollen face and immediately said, "Your Highness, rest assured, this lowly official will investigate this case and punish it according to the law!"
Li Yi looked at Shouning and asked, "Are you full?"
Shouning nodded and said, "I'm full."
Li Yi stood up and looked at the Magistrate and said, "I'll leave this to Magistrate Lin."
The Magistrate immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured!"
Li Yi waved at Qin He and said, "Let's go …"
"Send off Your Highness …"
The Magistrate immediately bowed and said, "Take care, Your Highness!"
Li Yi and Shouning walked out of the restaurant and parted ways with Peng Er and the woman. They walked towards the Gyeong Of Silla's residence.
In this big capital, there were not many people who could talk to him nicely.
Qin He was one of them. Although he lived like a beast, he was also free and easy. He immersed himself in his own world and didn't care about the outside world. He was a smart person who could see through the world.
At the entrance of the restaurant, Wu Er looked in the direction Li Yi disappeared in before looking away.
Wu Er scratched his head and murmured, "His Highness seems different from before, but I can't tell what's different …"
Qin He smiled and said, "In the past, His Highness Gyeong Of Silla was like a sharp sword, showing off its edge. The current His Highness is still a sword, just that he has hidden the edge of the sword …"
Wu Er scratched his head. Although he still didn't understand, he was used to Fifth Lord not speaking human language …
When they walked into the restaurant, the Magistrate walked up and said with a smile, "I'll get someone to compensate for the restaurant's loss …"
"There's no need for it to be doubled, just compensate at the original price." Qin He waved his hand and said, "Thank you in advance, Magistrate …"
The Magistrate's heart skipped a beat. This restaurant manager and Gyeong Of Silla seemed to be familiar with each other. His background should not be small. A smile appeared on his face again and he said, "Of course, of course …"
After walking out of the restaurant, most of the young masters heaved a sigh of relief.
They wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads and felt like they had survived a disaster.
One of them heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, we didn't offend Gyeong Of Silla …"
"It's said that a few years ago, when Gyeong Of Silla wasn't Gyeong Of Silla, many young masters of the top families in the Capital City were dragged to the palace gates to be flogged because they offended him. They couldn't get out of bed for a few months …"
"There was another time when more than ten important officials of the imperial court had to personally go to a restaurant to retrieve their juniors. It could be said that they were completely humiliated …"
…
As the crowd heaved a sigh of relief, they looked at one person in the crowd and said gratefully, "Thank you for reminding us just now, Brother Zheng. Otherwise, this would have led to a disaster!"
The young man they called "Brother Zheng" was still pale. He looked at them and said with a trembling voice, "You, you think, it's over?"
He wiped the sweat on his palms on his clothes. These people had not experienced some things, so how would they know the fear of the entire Capital City being dominated by Gyeong Of Silla …
This was not the end, but just the beginning.
Gyeong Of Silla had returned. This Capital City would probably experience another huge shock.
In a certain official's mansion.
An official who had just rushed home looked at his son and asked in horror, "Did you have a conflict with Gyeong Of Silla just now?"
"No conflict, no conflict!" The young man immediately said, "We just went to watch the show. We definitely didn't have a conflict with His Highness Gyeong Of Silla …"
"Watch the show?" The official picked up a bamboo stick and hit him. He said angrily, "Is His Highness Gyeong Of Silla's show something you can watch?"
The young man looked at him and said tentatively, "Father, Gyeong Of Silla … Gyeong Of Silla didn't say anything and just let us leave. Nothing big happened, right?"
"What do you know!" The middle-aged man glared at him again and immediately walked out of the room. He said loudly, "Someone, prepare a generous gift, the thicker the better …"
At the same time, many official residences in the Capital City had carriages full of gifts and were gathering in the same direction.
Xue Mansion.
Old General Xue drank the wine in his bowl and laughed. "Little brat, every time you come back, you cause such a big commotion. You don't even know to come to the Xue Mansion to take a look …"
An old woman poured him another bowl of wine and said, "His Highness Gyeong Of Silla's status is different now. When you see him, you can't act like this again …"
"What's wrong with Gyeong Of Silla again?" Old General Xue curled his lips and said, "I lent the pillar that Gyeong Of Silla slept on when he went to court!"
Zeng Mansion.
On this day, Ceng Shichun, who was already the Minister of Revenue, changed into casual clothes and walked out of the mansion.
Capital Governor's Mansion.
On this day, Capital Governor Liu Dayou did not bring any attendants with him and hurriedly left …
