Late Tang

Chapter 66 Poisonous Wine

On the Wangxian Pavilion in Wangxian Tower, Yu Yu was very happy today. Perhaps it was the precipitation of Dengzhou Sima's frustration this year, which made him finally have the time of Nirvana today.Think about when Yu's family was demoted a year ago, he was demoted from Ziqing Jiedu to Dengzhou Sima. When he left office, he also held a banquet in Qingzhou.It's just that at the banquet, except for the officials' housekeepers and servants who brought a little gift, few officials were really present at all.When they left the gate of Qingzhou City, a carriage carried the family's wife and daughter, and he rode a green mule, leaving only two old house slaves.

Today is also the resignation banquet, but there are mountains and seas of people who come to see him off, and the gifts are piled up like mountains.Wangxianlou specially vacated the back yard for stacking gifts, one yard was full, and the gifts had not been collected yet.

Both acquaintances and strangers came to toast one by one. Yu Guan held the white porcelain wine glass to his lips, sucked up the wine in the glass with a sip, opened his lips and took a breath, and the wine came out of his nostrils and mouth. It was full of alcohol, but he uttered unquestionable words: "The old man has done it, come again!"

Li Jing saw that Yu Yu was a little drunk, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Men, let's have some food first."

Yu Guan supported Li Jing's hand and sat down, took Li Jing's hand and said: "I will leave today, but this time I will go alone for the sake of the teacher. Your teacher, mother and young lady will stay in Penglai for the time being, and wait for me in Fengzhou. Settling down, I will send someone to pick it up at that time. During this time, although King Zhao and Liu Shijun have been entrusted to take care of it, but as a teacher, I still feel a little worried about my young lady. This dead girl was spoiled by me since she was a child. Running around like a man all day long. Especially after arriving in Penglai and getting acquainted with the princess, the two of them became even more insane. This time you have caused a lot of trouble with the Feng family. When you're not here, I hope you can take care of the young lady."

"It's my job to take care of my junior sister, it's just..."

Yu Yu seemed to know what Li Jing was worried about. He glanced at Li Jing, shook his head and sighed, "It would be great if you came to Dengzhou a year earlier, and you were still single at that time. Hey, maybe this is fate, I I know what you are worried about. You are married, and your young mother is also engaged. This time I kept her mother and daughter in Dengzhou because I don’t want her to be associated with the Lu family for the time being. The Lu family is now being exiled, maybe This year, maybe next year, maybe the Lu family will propose to divorce themselves by then."

"Men, the Lu family was unrighteous in the past, why didn't the teacher take the initiative to withdraw such a relationship? Now that the Lu family has been completely overthrown, there is no chance of a comeback. Does the teacher really have to wait for the other party to withdraw first?" Okay? What if they refuse to withdraw their marriage, is the mentor going to watch the little junior sister jump into the fire pit?" Li Jing was a little puzzled about Yu Can's thoughts.

"Many things are not as simple as you think. Although my Yu family has made a comeback this time, how many people are actually watching. If I propose to withdraw from the marriage, although it is reasonable, but if someone with a heart makes a fuss about it, they will Trapping me is not good for my family. Yu’s family now looks beautiful on the outside, but in fact they are walking on the edge of a cliff, and if they take a wrong step, they may fall into the abyss, and if they fall again this time, they will never get up again.”

"Hey, if the Lu family doesn't take the initiative to withdraw the marriage, then the teacher will delay, but I'm sorry for that girl. There is something that the teacher didn't want to say, but let's say it today. I know that girl may have some feelings for you, You kid is still very good, but it's a pity that you have no fate."

There was a very strange feeling in Li Jing's heart. He seemed a little relieved after hearing this, but also a little angry and a little heavy.

After a while, he bit his lip and said, "Please rest assured, teacher, I will treat my junior sister like my own sister."

Yu Yu seemed a little surprised and relieved that Li Jing agreed so quickly. He patted Li Jing's hand and said, "I see that you are a person with great ambition. If you have an idea in your heart, you should work hard to do it. Good boy." You shouldn't be trapped in a small space, the world is troubled now, it's time for you to do something. Women and feelings should not be restrained. If you give up these, you can go further."

After talking about this with Li Jing, Yu Jin seemed to be a little tired. He talked to a few people who came to toast and drank a few glasses of wine, and then asked Li Jing to help him into a wing room at the back. rest.Back in the pavilion, I saw Feng Liang and several young people surrounding Cui Yunqing and the others.Li Jing hurried over, only to find that Feng Liang was kneeling in front of Cui Yunqing with a glass of wine and said, "Yesterday, my nephew was reckless and did something reckless. I really shouldn't be dragging Li Sanlang into a fight, let alone secret to him Shoot crossbow arrows. My uncle has seriously taught my nephew a lesson yesterday, and today I am pleading guilty to the envoy, and I have hurt the envoy's disciples, please forgive me."

The wine was raised in front of Cui Yunqing, Cui Yunqing took a look at Feng Liang, and finally took the wine in front of everyone.Seeing this scene from a distance, Li Jing always felt that something was wrong.Previously, Feng Yanqing acted very rampant and arrogant, he didn't take Cui Yunqing and Li Rui seriously at all.Now Feng Liang knelt down here to toast and plead guilty, what kind of game did these uncles and nephews play?

Suddenly a thought flashed into Li Jing's mind, and Li Jing was startled and angry. Could it be that the wine is poisonous?This is unlikely, is it true that Uncle Feng Liang has gone crazy?He sent a killer to assassinate him last night, but today he wants to poison Cui Yunqing?He really dare?

Although Li Jing tried to convince herself that Feng Liang couldn't do that, Li Jing was still worried.He squeezed through the crowd, strode in front of Feng Liang, and took the glass of wine from Cui Yunqing, "Master drank a lot today, why don't the students drink this glass instead."

Everyone was a little surprised to see Li Jing's sudden appearance.Seeing Li Jing's behavior like this, Cui Yunqing couldn't help being a little puzzled.Li Jing winked at him, indicating the wine in his hand.Cui Yunqing's face changed, he understood what Li Jing meant, but he couldn't believe it.

The person who was more surprised by Li Jing's appearance was Feng Liang.When he saw Li Jing, his pupils shrank suddenly.Li Jing had been quietly paying attention to Feng Liang, seeing all the subtle changes in his expression.

"Brother Feng, do you mind if I drink this glass of wine on behalf of my teacher? I just heard that your glass of wine is for you to hurt me. If so, then I think this glass of wine is for me to drink." It's more appropriate, don't you think?"

The expression on Feng Liang's face was wonderful. When he saw Li Jing, he was surprised, then seemed to be suppressed anger, and when Li Jing said he wanted to drink this glass of wine, his eyes were filled with ecstasy.

He suppressed his surprise, and said with a smile: "It was indeed my fault what happened yesterday. I shouldn't have stabbed people in the back, and I shouldn't have pulled you into a fight. What you taught me yesterday was that my uncle also taught me a lesson when I went back. Last night I After thinking about it carefully all night, I originally planned to go to the barracks to plead guilty to San Lang directly, but later I knew that San Lang would also come to see Yu Gong off, so I came here directly. San Lang, please drink this glass of wine, and forgive my previous recklessness."

Li Jing's face remained calm, and he raised the wine glass to his lips, pretending to drink, but carefully observed the subtle expressions on Feng Liang's face from the corner of his eyes.Sure enough, as Li Jing's hand approached his lips slowly, the corners of Feng Liang's mouth turned upwards, his eyes changed from surprise to ecstasy, and then to ridicule.

These changes made Li Jing more and more sure of her previous judgment.There is something wrong with this wine, it is very likely poisonous wine.

Thinking of this, Li Jing suddenly moved the wine glass away again, pretending to just remember, and said to Feng Liang: "Oh, I suddenly remembered something. At the time of o'clock this morning, Goro and the second team deputy Zhang Daxin They haven’t arrived yet. For the fact that Feng Wulang didn’t arrive, someone from Feng’s mansion asked for leave before. But Zhang Daxin didn’t ask for leave. where?"

When Zhang Daxin's name was mentioned, the corners of Feng Liang's mouth twitched, and a nervous look appeared on his face.

Zhang Daxin is his good friend, that's right, after he was defeated and humiliated by Li Jing in the competition field yesterday and shot with an arrow, Zhang Daxin has been by his side all the time.Seeing that he was very angry at that time, Zhang Daxin offered to kill Li Jing to avenge him very generously. Feng Liang was very angry at that time and ignored other things. The two discussed for a long time, and then Zhang Daxin proposed to assassinate Li Jing in the barracks at night.He also said that he used to have some very good brothers when he was in the second capital of the right, and he can use them this time.

After Zhang Daxin left, there was no news, Feng Liang waited at home all night.They sent people to the barracks early this morning, but they searched all over the barracks, but they couldn't find Zhang Daxin, nor was there a single person.After inquiring about the second capital on the right, it turned out that two people on the second from the right were also missing.

When the news came back, Feng Liang was startled and frightened. The first thing he thought of was that Zhang Daxin and the others had lost their hands and fell into the hands of Li Jing. Maybe they had already fallen into the hands of Cui Jieshi and others.It was only after waiting until noon that he didn't see any movement at all, which gradually made him feel at ease.He also specially sent someone to inquire about Li Jing's movements, and when he heard that Li Jing was in normal condition and there was no abnormality, he was confused and put the matter aside.

Who would have thought that when Li Jing suddenly mentioned Zhang Daxin at this moment, Feng Liang's face almost changed involuntarily.Feng Liang looked at Li Jing nervously, but he couldn't see anything on his face.He really didn't understand, did Li Jing really just ask casually when he mentioned Zhang Daxin, or was it something else?

"Zhang Daxin made a mistake for no reason?" Feng Liang pretended to be surprised, "What did this guy do? I saw him once yesterday, but I haven't seen him since then. Could it be that he was drunk in another brothel? Or, I'll send someone to look for it later."

Li Jing said casually: "Forget it, it's just a casual mention, anyway, no matter whether he is alive or dead, since he is missing for no reason, his head does not belong to him anymore. A dead man, what is he doing!"

"A dead man!" Feng Liang muttered to himself, but he looked at Li Jing with a little more surprise. "Yes, let's talk about what he did, brother Li, and please drink this glass of apology."

Li Jing raised his eyes and brought the wine glass to his lips again.Feng Liang stared straight at Li Jing's wine glass, wishing he could immediately pour the wine down Li Jing's throat.

But at this moment, Li Jing removed the wine glass again, stared at Feng Liang, and said jokingly: "Brother Feng hopes so much for me to drink this glass of wine, isn't this glass of wine a poisonous bar?"

Feng Liang's face suddenly changed, his whole body tensed up, his face became pale, his lips trembled but he couldn't speak.Seeing Feng Liang's expression, Li Jing understood, but she didn't mean to expose him.To expose this matter now would at most kill Feng Liang, but Feng Yanqing couldn't get it.That being the case, he simply pretended nothing happened, and later wiped out Feng Liang and his nephew as planned.

"Hahaha!" Li Jing laughed loudly, "Just kidding with Wulang, let's see how anxious you are. But this glass of wine doesn't seem to be sieved clean, how about another glass? Today I specially brought a jar of good wine , I heard it’s a fine wine from Persia.”

Feng Liang was completely lost at this time, and Li Jing led him away, and said in a somewhat dumb voice: "Okay, it's all up to San Lang to decide."
