Yi Song

Chapter 104: Revenge is of course leading to death

The first reaction of the people present was not to inquire or stop him, but to subconsciously look at Zhao Ji, who was sitting in the middle.

The official frowned and seemed a little unhappy.

Most people didn't know the reason and thought that Liu Guozhang and Li Bangyan were noisy and disturbed the official family and made him unhappy.

But Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and others who were familiar with his thoughts guessed that the word "death" in Li Bangyan's panic shouting violated official taboos.

Today is a family banquet hosted by the prince for the official family, to celebrate the birthday of his father as the eldest son. On such an occasion, Li Bangyan kept saying death. As a birthday boy, could Zhao Ji be happy?

This Li Bangyan must be beaten well.

Zhao Ji didn't make a sound, and everyone remained motionless, not listening to what was going on outside the window.

The sound continued to come in.

"Stop! Liu Erlang, you actually dare to commit murder in broad daylight!" The one who shouted to stop was Huang Qianshan, Zuosi Lang.

"Good guy, Li Bangyan still has accomplices!" Liu Guozhang put on a hat without saying a word.

Huang Qianshan asked angrily and anxiously: "What accomplices!"

"Liu Erlang, please stop adding charges. We have seen with our own eyes that you, Liu Erlang, acted wantonly, committed crimes and hurt people in broad daylight."

The speaker was Wu Min, a member of Zhongshushe.

Everyone looked at Cai Jing involuntarily.

Wu Min admired Cai Jing and wanted to marry his daughter to him a few years ago. It was precisely because of Cai Jing's support that he, who was only awarded Jinshi in the second year of Daguan (1108), was promoted rapidly.

Cai Jing remained calm, played a card and said softly: "West Wind."

"Xifeng doesn't want it!" Wang Fu said as he touched the cards, "Yaoji!"

Gao Qiu glanced at him and said in a slightly louder voice, "Yaoji, I don't want it!"

Zhao Ji, who was listening to the movement outside with his ears open, was startled and immediately responded: "Yaoji, I want it! Touch it! Hit the west wind."

The sound outside continued.

"I committed murder and hurt someone? Which eye did you see me commit murder and hurt? The left eye, the right eye, or the butthole!"

A chuckle echoed in the room.

"It's vulgar! It's an insult to elegance!" The person who spoke was Fu Baolang Mochou, the number one scholar in the second year of Zhenghe's reign.

These people were close to Li Bangyan and originally discussed poetry and poetry in Guanxia Tower. I don’t know why, but they all came here.

"Bang-bang-bang!"

"Oh, it hurts so much. I killed someone."

The sound of beating people with sticks could be heard downstairs, followed by Li Bangyan's screams.

"Liu Erlang, how dare you do this!" The one who scolded was the third prince, King Jia Zhao Kai.

He had close contacts with these intellectuals and claimed to be a scholar leader.

The people in the room also sighed inwardly, this Liu Erlang is really bold. In front of everyone, he dared to beat Li Bangyan violently.

"Three Kings, do you also favor Li Bangyan?"

"Partiality? I stand for justice and uphold justice! You are obviously the one who is cruel and brutal, humiliating Shimei in public. Lang Lang Qiankun, do you think we are all blind? Don't you care about the laws and regulations of the country?"

Zhao Kai's righteous and awe-inspiring words caused a burst of applause from the people around him.

"Three Great Kings, I am also upholding discipline and following the law."

"Fart! It's obviously you who committed the murder." Before Huang Qianshan could finish his words, he heard a burst of blows covering his head and face, which made Li Bangyan desperately beg for mercy.

"Grandpa, don't hit him. If you hit him again, he will be killed."

Liu Erlang is really too bold.

Zhao Kai said angrily: "Liu Erlang, stop it! What kind of discipline do you have and what laws do you obey! If you don't tell me one, two, three today, we will definitely go to the emperor and make you submit to the law!"

"Okay, three kings, let's make it clear." Liu Guozhang said loudly.

"Today is a family banquet organized by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of filial piety for the official family. The official family also sympathizes with the hard work of all ministers and ministers working on state affairs, so they have graciously agreed to bring their families to the banquet.

When entering the Ruishengyuan, someone handed out pieces of paper informing them of the instructions for attending the banquet. Next to the entrance gate, there is a large wooden sign on the tree, which also contains one, two, three, and four instructions for attending the banquet. The most important one is that today Ruisheng Garden is divided into east and west gardens, with a flower and tree fence in the middle as the boundary.

Xiyuan is a female guest house. Men are only allowed to play in Dongyuan and are strictly prohibited from entering Xiyuan. But this Li Bangyan was so bold that he bribed the guard of Xiaohuangmen, fled into Xiyuan, and wandered around. Especially wandering around the Xisi (Note 1) and locker room areas, behaving obscenely and having evil intentions.

He was caught by the patrolling chamberlain and escorted to me. As the chief organizer of the Ruishengyuan Banquet on His Highness’s personal committee, I naturally have to interrogate him carefully. As a result, the guy didn't take it seriously, kept quibbling, even injured Huang Men, and ran away. "

The more Liu Guozhang talked, the angrier he became.

"Your Highness's filial piety, and the good intentions of Liang Douzhi, Yang Douzhi, Huang Douzhi, Liang Yaban and other ministers, just want to make the official family happy, and don't want to be almost ruined by this guy. Nao Niang Thief, you have to thank me for wearing a scarlet robe and knowing the royal laws.

If it were before, you would have killed so many people like you, a treacherous and despicable person without a king or a father! ”    After hearing this, everyone immediately understood the whole story, and they all complained about Li Bangyan in their hearts.

You're a libertine, you just spend your days wandering around in the washhouse. On an occasion like today, you dare to be dissolute!

How dare you do such a thing by relying on your close acquaintance with the chamberlains, ministers, and palace chiefs?

Where is Xiyuan?

Inside are the concubines of officials and wives of powerful people. What do you, Li Bangyan, want to do? Do you want to change the color of the futou of the official family and which dignitary?

Everyone doesn't believe him when he peeks into the toilet, but when he seizes an opportunity to seduce a woman, everyone still believes him. Li Bangyan has this ability and a criminal record.

It was just for the sake of everyone's dignity that Liu Guozhang described Li Bangyan in such a vulgar and dirty manner.

He is not decent so that everyone can be decent!

Everyone else was silent, and Huang Qianshan argued to himself: "Li Zimei is not a reckless person, he must have a reason for going to Xiyuan. It's not a big deal, just scold him a few times, why bother to beat him?"

"Is this still a trivial matter?" Liu Guozhang asked with a sneer, "So in the eyes of Huang Guanren, this is all a trivial matter? Li Bangyan must be able to enter your house at will, day and night. You two are really crossing the house and asking for your wife. What a friendly person.

But I would like to advise Huang Guanren to go back quickly and see if your recently born children look like you. If you grow up and find out that you look like Li Bangyan, you will become a joke to both the government and the public. "

"Ah——!" Huang Qianshan screamed, and someone next to him shouted: "Huang Guanren fainted."

Zhao Kai said: "Liu Erlang, Li Shimei violated laws and regulations, and he has his own country's laws to punish him. Why did you beat him so cruelly?"

"He wants to run away. Of course I have to subdue him and bring him to justice."

"Liu Erlang, what are you doing?"

"Bang——" There was a muffled sound, followed by a heart-wrenching cry that was stuck in the throat and could only be hoarse.

"Liu Erlang, why did you break Li Shimei's teeth!" Wu Min said angrily.

"What, do you want to hear him explain in detail what he saw and heard just now while peeping in Xiyuan?" Liu Guozhang asked coldly, "You people, the officials have treated you so well that you have become so complacent that you have forgotten There is no distinction between the superiority and inferiority of the monarch and his ministers! There is a bastard like Li Bangyan who is shameless and does not abide by the rules of a minister!"

Silence, heart-stopping silence, after thirty or forty breaths, Zhao Kai said angrily: "Let's go!"

Liu Guozhang also said, "Come here, tie up Li Bangyan and Li Shichou and send them to the Imperial City Department first. After I finish my work later, I will find a gentleman who can write well to help write the memorial." , I need to play him well!"

After a while, Liu Guozhang walked into the second floor of Sacred Heart Pavilion. Zhao Ji saw him and asked, "Erlang, there was so much noise outside just now. What happened?"

"There was a fly that was disgusting. I was afraid of disturbing the official family, so I drove it away."

Just now, taking advantage of Li Bangyan's coveting of Xiang Zhuer, he deliberately asked a certain Xiaohuang sect to tell Li Bangyan that Xiang Zhuer was somewhere in Xiyuan. Li Bangyan, who has always claimed to be romantic and bold, will definitely go to Xiyuan quietly to find fragrance.

He has always had a good relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he can easily go to Xiyuan.

If he crosses the border of Xiyuan, he will be dead. He was led to the dressing room near Xisi, and was captured in one fell swoop by another group of servants who came after "hearing the news".

That was it.

Now is the final stage, just waiting for Zhao Ji's Jinkou Yuding.

Zhao Ji was neither happy nor angry and said: "Flies are indeed disgusting. Why don't you swat them to death?"

"Guan, I don't have a fly swatter, so I had to wave my hand and drive him away." Liu Guozhang replied with a smile.

"Fly swatter, Erlang's statement is interesting. White board!" Zhao Ji played a card.

Cai Jing was about to speak, but Wang Fu spoke first.

"Officials, I'll touch the whiteboard." Wang Fu continued while taking the cards, "A few days ago, there was a letter from the imperial secretary. During the impeachment, Li Bangyan, the secretary, behaved in a dissolute and frivolous manner, which was not in line with the etiquette of a court official. The imperial court selects officials based on virtue. He is the first to do so. He should be dismissed if he is so unethical and given a fine of 90,000 yuan."

"Ninety thousand, I'll touch it!" Zhao Ji took the card and said coldly: "Such an unscrupulous person who has no king, no father, and no sense of dignity should not only be deposed, but even the Jinshi should be pursued. Fight the North Wind. Master, do you want it?"

"Guan family, I don't want this old Beifeng anymore. If I don't want to leave it to Li Bangyan, let him return north to Huaizhou."

"Okay!" Zhao Ji agreed, "The Grand Master has drawn the card."

"Hongzhong, no."

Wang Fu smiled and pushed the card, "I want it, shit."

Zhao Ji laughed loudly: "Wang Qing, you are finally confused. If you were not confused, I would be worried for you."

After Cai Jing gave the chips, he stood up and said, "Guan, I am old and weak. I cannot accompany the Guan to the fullest. Please forgive me."

"The Grand Master is old and really needs to rest. Someone, come and help the Grand Master down to rest." Then Zhao Ji pointed at Liu Guozhang and said, "Erlang, come here, take the place of the Grand Master and accompany me for four more laps."

"Yes."

With the support of a young man, Cai Jing walked tremblingly to the stairs. He couldn't help turning around and saw Liu Guozhang sitting in his seat. In a daze, he killed everyone else on the table, including the officials. Not a single piece of armor is left, not a single chip is left.

Cai Jing was startled, his head shook slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, Cai Jing realized that it was his hallucination.

"Oh! My eyes are dim! Let's go, let's go."

Note 1: Dongsi, Xisi means the toilet on the east or west side. Changing rooms and toilets in ancient times used bamboo and wood toilet seats, so wealthy people generally needed to wash their hands or take a shower and change clothes after using the toilet.
