"It's really a coincidence."
Qin Yu said after a while, and the expression on his face had returned to indifference.
"Young, young master, this Beggar's Chicken … Shall we take it in?" A waiter of the Zuiyue Tower stood at the stairway, looked at the scene in front of him, and said in a trembling voice.
"Take it in, we have paid for it …" The proud Lolita had been thinking about the chicken for a long time, and immediately urged.
Xiaocui's face was full of fear, and she was about to cry. "Young lady, what time is it? Why are you still thinking about the Beggar's Chicken? They can't even leave!"
"Young Duke Qin, if there is no other urgent matter, we will go in." Li Yi pointed to the inside of the room and said, "The dishes will be cold later."
Qin Yu took a deep breath, glanced at the strange little girl, and said with a smile, "Uncle Li, please help yourself, but these two girls can't leave."
Li Yi looked at him in astonishment and asked, "Why is this so? In broad daylight, with the heaven and earth bright and clear, could it be that Young Duke Qin wants to put on a good show of forcefully snatching a girl from a good family?"
When Li Yi spoke, he deliberately emphasized the word "again".
The smile on Qin Yu's face froze, and then his chest began to rise and fall slightly.
The rest of the people looked at him. "Motherf * cker, it's just a slap in the face!"
Young Duke Qin was beaten and seriously injured by a passing Jianghu swordsman because he molested a good girl in the street, and he had to rest at home for several months. It could be said that he had lost his face completely. When people mentioned this matter, they would only say that he was injured by a villain, and no one dared to mention molesting a good girl. This Uncle Li was really good at slapping people's faces and cursing people's shortcomings …
Last time in the imperial palace, he slapped Young Duke Qin fiercely twice, and now this sentence was no less than a slap in the face, which was a double blow to his spirit and body. There were rumors among the people that this Uncle Li was worthy of being "the nemesis of Young Duke Qin".
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. County Uncle Li, be careful with your words …" When Qin Yu spoke again, he didn't hide the anger in his eyes. If it were someone else, he would have already sent out his guards to vent the anger that had accumulated in his heart for the past few months. However, at this moment, he was just angry.
After all, although he had the title of "Madman Qin", the person in front of him was a real madman. He didn't have to take responsibility for beating people, and he was a madman with the certificate of the Imperial Physician Bureau.
"Hey, Young Duke Qin, don't be modest …" Li Yi reached out and patted him on the shoulder. Then he turned to Ceng Zuimo and said, "Let's go. We've been out for a long time. The food is cold."
Zeng Zuimo bit his teeth and said, "You guys go in first. They won't do anything to us."
She knew what kind of impact the previous incident would have. The government defined it as an assassination. If the swordsman was caught, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, she and Xiao Cui were also victims. Even if they really went to the government, they could explain it clearly.
There was a Prime Minister in Qin's Mansion, who also had extraordinary power in the court. She didn't want to get Li Yi involved.
Li Yi didn't rush in this time. He looked at her and asked, "How do you know him?"
Xiao Cui said with some grievance, "Yes, last time when Miss and I just came to the capital, they, they insisted that Miss and I go with them. A passing swordsman couldn't stand it, so, so he beat him hard …"
"So those two women are you …" It was also the first time that Li Yi had heard of this matter, and his tone was a little surprised.
It was really true that people who were not a family would not enter the house. This Young Duke Qin and him were opposite of each other!
Seeing that Young Duke Qin was obviously no match for County Magistrate Li, a young man immediately stood out and said, "Li … Supervisor Li, these two women are involved in the case of the assassination of Young Duke Qin. We have sent someone to inform the government, and there will be an official coming soon. Is Supervisor Li going to protect them?"
"You are?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
The young man said, "I am Li Jianren."
"Oh, from the family of Assistant Minister Li of the Ministry of Works?" Li Yi still had some impression of this name. After all, there weren't many people who could come up with such a fresh and refined name. It was high-end and classy.
"Yes." Li Jianren cupped his hands, but he was depressed in his heart. In this kind of occasion, it was not suitable for him to stand out. After all, he still had to study at the Mathematics College in the future. If he offended the supervisor before he officially enrolled, would he have a good life in the future?
"Not bad, not bad, I will remember you." Li Yi nodded and said, "Then there is no hurry. Let's wait for the official to come first."
He looked back at Zeng Zuimo and said, "What are you waiting for? Go in and eat. It cost a lot of money."
When he was about to go in, he looked back at Qin Yu and asked seriously, "Is it necessary?"
"It is." Qin Yu said with a smile.
Li Yi nodded, turned around, and closed the door.
Watching them walk back into the room and close the door, Prince Duanyang was already full of anger.
"Arrogant, simply too arrogant!"
Although he was far away in Chuzhou and was not very familiar with the affairs of the capital, he did not expect that a small county uncle would dare to be so presumptuous in front of him and Young Duke Qin.
Li Jianren and Cui Xixin and the others shook their heads. This was arrogance?
Royal Prince Duanyang seemed to have underestimated County Uncle Li too much.
Beating up Young Duke Qin, beating up His Royal Highness King of Shu, forcing the officials and His Majesty to make concessions, everything he did could not be described as arrogant.
Prince Duanyang was angry and kicked the door of the private room, but was stopped by Qin Yu.
"Wait." Qin Yu only said this one word.
He had dealt with Li Yi more than once, so naturally, he would not look down on him. It was not suitable for him and Prince Duanyang to intervene in this matter. If the government directly intervened, it would be official business. Even if Li Yi was favored by the emperor, could he reach into the government of the capital?
But the Qin family could. Although Chen Yue of the Chen family was no longer the capital magistrate and some things did become troublesome, at least half of the people present did not care about a small capital magistrate.
The Jingdou Magistrate Liu Dayou also knew that in the eyes of those famous wastrels in Jingdou, he, the Jingdou Magistrate, was nothing and would be held back in every way. In his heart, he cursed the little Duke Qin.
What's the use of finding those two women? If you have the ability, go and find that hero who beat you up. You failed to flirt with an innocent woman and got beaten up instead. You've lost all your face, and you still dare to come out and make a fool of yourself. Now, you seem to want to do something to those two innocent women. Do you really think that you own the government?
However, he could not ignore this matter and even had to go in person. After all, he could not afford to offend any of those people.
"Hurry up!" County Magistrate Liu opened the curtain and urged the sedan bearers.
Drunken Moon Tower, Room No. 2.
Outside the door, there were several people watching vigilantly to prevent the people inside from slipping away. Inside the room, the arrogant Lolita ate without caring about her image. Li Yi had no interest in the Beggar's Chicken, but he had to say that the tea here was not bad. It was just a little expensive, ten taels of silver for a pot. He really felt sorry for the old emperor.
"Go get another pot of tea." He turned his head and ordered the waiter standing behind him.
The grey-robed old man next to him finally could not help frowning at him and asked, "Is it necessary?"
Li Yi looked at him and asked in surprise, "Isn't it just two pots of tea? Won't the palace reimburse it?"
After a moment, he sighed and said, "You just heard — he said it is necessary."
