Wei Liang and Chen Qing belonged to the military, so they couldn't directly intervene in political affairs.
According to the laws of the Wu Kingdom, the young master of the Zhang family should be sentenced to death. Of course, laws were laws. If they were actually implemented, they would only be punished with a considerable amount of silver.
This amount of silver was nothing to those large families, but the significance of this matter was not just a fine of silver. It was an act of not taking the Empress of Yangliuqing seriously.
In the Jing Kingdom, even the most powerful foppish young master of a family, even the prosperous Cui family, didn't dare to wantonly ride horses on the streets of the capital.
Chen Qing cupped his hands at Li Yi and said, "Gyeong Of Silla, don't worry. I will report this matter to His Majesty. We won't let this matter go!"
Li Yi nodded. The foppish young master who rode horses on the streets wasn't the main point. The main point was that the families behind him had nothing to fear.
If the Zhang family was just one of the many families in the capital, then it was very necessary for him to come this time.
Wei Liang looked at him and said, "Your Highness, let me take you to the palace. His Majesty should have been waiting for a long time."
Li Yi turned to look at Liu Xiaohu and asked, "Xiaohu, where do you live?"
Liu Xiaohu picked up the iron rod and said, "It's nearby."
Li Yi thought about it and said, "Then let's go to your house first."
"Ah?" Liu Xiaohu was startled. He seemed to think of something and couldn't help but blush.
Li Yi looked at Wei Liang and said, "Let's go take a look first. We won't delay anything."
Wei Liang nodded and said, "Then I'll send someone to inform His Majesty."
Chen Qing kicked Chen Jun and said angrily, "You are familiar with this place. Follow His Highness and lead the way!"
Chen Jun's heart was filled with fear. Now that he had finally heaved a sigh of relief, he obediently followed behind them.
In the county government office, the Zhou County Magistrates slumped on the ground, still in a daze. General Fan couldn't help but kick him and shouted, "Investigate this matter thoroughly, strictly!"
The Zhou County Magistrates shivered and immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and handle it impartially!"
Inside the county government, Mr. Zhang had quietly left without anyone noticing.
…
Along the way, Li Yi and Ruyi asked Liu Xiaohu a few more questions. Soon, they arrived at a shabby alley.
When they reached the entrance of the alley, they could hear noises of quarreling.
In the depths of the alley, in front of a dilapidated house, a green-clothed manservant looked at the young girl in coarse clothes and said with a smile, "I say, Xiao Niang, why do you have to do this? What's so good about following that tanghulu seller? Why don't you follow my young master? In the future, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth. Your sick mother will also be able to live a happy life with you …"
A young man pulled her sleeve and said, "What's so good about that tanghulu seller? He's just a poor man. How can I not be compared to him?"
The young girl looked flustered and quickly said, "You, you let go of me, I won't go with you …"
"I don't have much patience left …" The young man looked at her coldly and said, "Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
"Let go of her!"
Liu Xiaohu took a few steps forward and pushed the young man away.
"Brother Xiaohu." When the young girl saw him, her face lit up and she quickly hid behind him.
"How dare you push me!" The young man was pushed a few steps back and fell to the ground. He got up angrily and was about to say something when he saw a familiar figure in front of him. He said in surprise, "Young Master Chen, why are you …"
"Young my ass!"
Chen Jun was almost scared to death. He quickly ran out and kicked the young man away.
He was already unlucky enough today. He finally had the chance to sneak out for a drink, but he was scolded for no reason and was kicked by the uncle that he was most afraid of. Now that this guy was calling him, did he think that he had not died a horrible death?
Chen Jun was born in a family of generals and had a foundation in martial arts. When the young man was kicked away, he felt his stomach churning and his internal organs tangled together. He raised his head and said with difficulty, "Young Master Chen …"
"Stop calling me that!" Chen Jun was furious. He sat on the young man and slapped him left and right. He said angrily, "I don't even know you, why are you trying to get close to me …"
When no one was paying attention, he chopped the young man's neck with his hand.
The world was finally quiet.
The young man's servant was shivering in fear. Li Yi walked over and looked at Liu Xiaohu and the young girl. He asked, "Are you married?"
Liu Xiaohu hurriedly said, "Not, not yet …"
The young girl blushed and looked at Liu Xiaohu for help.
Liu Xiaohu immediately introduced, "Qiao Qiao, this is Sister Ruyi, and this is brother-in-law. I've mentioned them to you before …"
The young girl named Qiao Qiao immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, sister, brother-in-law …"
Li Yi finally understood why this guy stayed in Wu Kingdom and refused to go back.
It turned out that it was not because Wu Kingdom's tanghulu sold well, but because Wu Kingdom's wives were easy to find …
The young girl named Qiao Qiao was the one he met when he came to Wu Kingdom to deliver goods. At that time, he was not familiar with the people and the place in Wu Kingdom. He was cheated of money and had no place to eat. This young girl gave him a steamed bun, and then he stayed at her house and refused to leave …
Li Yi looked at the young man who was being ridden by Chen Jun. In the current Capital City, this kind of forceful kidnapping of a woman was not something that happened often anymore.
Of course, the capital a few years ago was not much different from here. There were also many trash like Qin Yu. But in recent years, the laws of the Jing Kingdom were becoming more and more perfect. The playboys were still playboys, but their bottom line had been greatly increased. At most, they would flirt with women verbally, but they did not dare to do anything more outrageous.
Shouning's Women's Union had dealt with countless playboys in the past few years.
But once human lives were involved, even if they were ordinary people or beggars, Liu Yiyi would teach them a good lesson.
On the first day he came here, in the first hour, he already knew that Yangliuqing, the Empress, had a lot of things to do. If the Wu Kingdom wanted to continue to develop and become stronger, there was still a long way to go …
Chen Qing's nephew was very perceptive. He arranged a new residence for the young girl at once and asked a doctor to come over. After settling them down, Li Yi looked at Wei Liang and said, "Let's go."
In the Zhang family.
The young man named Zhang Can told them what happened in the county government just now with a serious face.
"Gyeong Of Silla?" The master of the Zhang family looked puzzled and said, "How can there be a Gyeong Of Silla in the Wu Kingdom?"
"Father, although we don't know who this Gyeong Of Silla is, the three generals, Chen Qing, Fan Qiao, and Wei Liang, all show great respect to him, and they even mentioned His Majesty …" The young man was silent for a moment and then said again, "We have to be on guard."
"Yes, we have to make some preparations." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "But don't worry too much. What can a prince from another country do? Will His Majesty do something to our Zhang family because of such a small thing?"
The young man was slightly relieved. In the Imperial Capital, all the great clans were closely related to each other and shared honor and disgrace. Pulling one hair could affect the whole body. When Her Majesty had entered the Imperial Capital, she had been of great help to her. It was likely that she would not easily burn the bridge after crossing it.
The master of the Zhang family walked out of the room and raised his head again. He couldn't help but murmur, "Who on earth is this Gyeong Of Silla?"
…
"Martial Uncle, you're here …" At the gate of the palace, Yangliuqing came out to welcome them in person and bowed slightly to Li Yi and Ruyi.
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "You're the Empress now. You have to pay attention to what you do. You don't have to bow in the future."
Yangliuqing smiled and said, "Martial Uncle will always be martial uncle."
She was as stubborn as Ruyi. Li Yi didn't continue this topic with her. He looked at her and asked, "Where's Ruyi? Is she in the palace?"
Yangliuqing lowered his head and said, "Master left yesterday."
He didn't expect Ruyi to continue hiding. Li Yi shook his head and then looked at Yangliuqing. He said, "Go in first. There are still some things I need to discuss with you …"
