Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 325 Keiko Visits
Hu Qian said: "Why, Zi Chang gave birth so soon?"

Du Jian knew: "Where, where..."

Guo Yu said: "Don't be nervous, Zizhang, this is not court."

Hu Qian said: "If we knew this, let's go find a restaurant."

Guo Yu said: "Since the emperor has this intention, why not go now."

The three of them didn't say any more, and went directly to Jintai Pavilion, the largest restaurant in the capital.

Hu Chengxi wanted to follow, but Hu Qian waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. By the way, the banquet prepared earlier will be delivered to..."

He originally wanted to send the things he prepared earlier to Shen Yuzhen and the others, but he thought it was not a good thing, so he said: "Give it to Princess Fengli, so as not to waste it."

When he arrived at the restaurant, Du Jianzhi really let go a lot. After a few glasses of wine, the conversation started.

"Jinggong, even in my wildest dreams, I never imagined that you would become the emperor."

Guo Yu was still sober, put down his glass and said, "Why are you talking so loudly?"

Du Jian knew: "Why, the emperor is my classmate friend, I can't show it off yet.

do you know?After people from my hometown in Jinling heard about this incident, they wrote to me one after another asking me, saying that they remembered that Hu Qian was my classmate and asked me to help them find a way out. "

When he said this, he suddenly drank a glass of wine slowly, and the wine glass fell heavily on the Lihuamu table.

"Thanks for what they said!

What kind of face was it when I was forced to become a monk? Now that I know that my classmate and friend have become the emperor, he begged me eagerly.

I bother!I……"

He said a few words, and suddenly choked up.

"I have been in the capital for so many years, and I don't even have a letter at home, not even one..."

Then he couldn't continue, so he poured himself another glass and drank it in one gulp.

Hu Qian said: "Leave that aside, how is the business at home now?"

Du Jianzhi paused, "Business is good."

Hu Qian saw that his words were insincere, and seeing that he didn't seem to want to say more, he didn't want to ask more, so as not to hurt his face.

The three of them chatted and laughed, talked about the past, and drank until late at night before going back.

When Hu Qian returned to the palace, he asked Hu Chengxi to inform Zuo Xiong (formerly Qianhu), the town governor, to investigate Du Jianzhi's affairs.

When Hu Chengxi left, he thought about agreeing to Chuchu, and went to Yongtai Palace again.

Chu Chu and Sister Feng had already fallen asleep, and when they saw him coming, they hurried over to greet him, and when they arrived, they were kissed by him, hugged in his arms, and put on the bed step by step.

During the day, Hu Qian and Chu Chu walked around the garden.

He bumped into Princess Fengli and the others again, recalling the meal, he stopped the three of them and asked: "It's been a long time in summer, are you still used to the food?"

Princess Fengli said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your concern, the diet of Daxia and Anxi is not much different, so there is no discomfort.

In addition, I would like to thank the emperor for the meal last night. "

Hu Qian nodded, said a few more words, and left with Chu Chu.

When they walked away, An Ximei said kindly: "Princess, the emperor doesn't seem to be what you said."

Princess Fengli snorted and said: "Last night, the emperor went out to drink with his friends, and he didn't come back almost all night, don't you understand?"

"Understand what?"

"If it's a normal man, how could he leave me and other delicate beauties alone, and go drink with a man and never return.

Moreover, he heard that none of the five beauties in Wuse Kingdom moved. "

"Maybe it's flower wine?"

"Those two are his classmates and friends, and one of them is a cabinet minister. Is there any emperor who goes to drink flower wine with cabinet ministers?"

The two beauties were silent, sighing and shaking their heads secretly.

"What shall we do?"

"No way, if the emperor is just an ordinary person, maybe we can escape quietly.

But the emperor has great powers, let's not say if he can escape, but if he really wants to investigate, Anxi Kingdom will definitely suffer revenge. "

"I can only accept my fate..."

When it was almost noon, Zuo Xiong came to return to his command.

As Hu Qian expected, Du Jianzhi's rouge business did have a problem.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that not only was there a problem with the business, but even the house was taken over.

"When the emperor was framed before, everyone related to the emperor suffered. Although Du Jianzhi was not found out, his relationship with the emperor was found out by a rouge businessman."

Hu Qian frowned and said, "How did he know?"

"The businessman said he accidentally saw the emperor visiting Du Jianzhi's house."

Hu Qian immediately thought that he might have been seen by that person when he was helping the Du family exorcise demons.

"The businessman threatened Du Jianzhi with this, and not only occupied his shop, but also occupied his house. Now Du Jianzhi is selling goods on the street."

"What's his name? Did you catch that man?"

"It's called Zhao Er, and now only his servant is arrested, but..."

"Speak straight."

"Zhao Er is the nephew of Dali Siqing..."

Hu Qian said: "So what, Du Jianzhi is still the emperor's classmate and good friend!"

But after thinking about it, I still plan to go and have a look first.

So both of them changed into their regular clothes and walked down the street together.

After shopping around, Du Jianzhi was not found.

Zuo Xiong said: "He usually sells goods here."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw two men with big arms and round waists grab the wooden sticks by the door and flash into the shop to close the door.

Hu Qian glanced at it and saw that it was a rouge shop, so he walked over in one step.

"Hey, what are you doing! No more business! Go, go!"

Hu Qian said: "It's closed in broad daylight?"

"It's none of your business, get out of here quickly! Otherwise, I'll let you try it out!"

Zuo Xiong stepped forward in two steps and knocked the two of them to the ground with two punches.

The two of them were sweating from the pain, got up and ran back, "Master, someone is making trouble!"

Seeing Hu Qian, he also walked into the yard.

Immediately in the back room, more than a dozen healthy servants came out with sticks.

After everyone, a short and fat man came out.

"Where did you come from, wild boy! You are looking for death! Hit me!"

More than a dozen people immediately beat up with sticks.

Before Hu Qian could make a move, Zuo Xiong had already leaped into the battle circle, took a high-handed block, and knocked down more than a dozen people to the ground in a short while.

The man was about to leave when Zuo Xiong stopped him.

"This person is Zhao Er."

Seeing that Zuo Xiong knew him, Zhao Er immediately said: "Since you know the master, you should know the background of the master, if..."

Hu Qian kicked him over and was about to speak when he heard humming in the room behind him. When he went in and took a look, he was immediately stunned.

There were two people tied to the chairs in the room, one of them was Du Jianzhi, and the other was his wife Su Xiaoyue.

At this moment, Du Jianzhi's face was red and swollen, presumably he had received a lot of beatings, Su Xiaoyue was not injured, but his eyes were dull, presumably he was frightened a lot.

Hu Qian quickly untied the two of them.

Du Jian knew: "Brother Jinggong, I'm really sorry for you."

Hu Qian said: "How do you say such things, why are you sorry for me?"

"At that time when your case came out and Guo Yu was arrested, he would rather die than frame you.

However, as a classmate and friend, I blindly hid and didn't dare to come forward to argue for you.

I am really ashamed of you..."

Hu Qian said: "I don't blame you for this. You are right not to come out. If you do come out, not only will it have no effect, but it will also be implicated."

Just as he was talking, Zhao Er yelled outside: "You thieves not only broke into the house, but also injured my servants, do you know that my uncle is the minister of Dali Temple!
This master must let you die without a place to bury you! "

"Really? Well, I'll let you send someone to report to see if your uncle will come to rescue you."

Then he winked at Zuo Xiong, and Zuo Xiong kicked a servant out.

Zhao Erdao: "Quickly report the letter!"

Hu Qian shook his head. If this minister of Dali Temple really brought people in regardless of innocence, then his official position would be over.

However, although he didn't want to, the ending still disappointed him.

After a while, dozens of yamen servants broke in, followed by a person who didn't know what official position he was in. Seeing Zhao Er who was being detained, he looked at Hu Qian and Zuo Xiong, and shouted: "Bold and crazy!" How dare you commit crimes in the daytime!"

Zuo Xiong said: "Who are you?"

"My master is Wu Junyan, the secretary of Dali Temple, who are you!"

Zuo Xiong looked at Hu Qian, saw that he didn't speak, so he threw the badge of Jin Yiwei on his waist.

When Wu Junyan saw it, his face immediately turned pale, and he said with a smile, "It turns out that it is the master of Beizhen Fusi, and the flood really rushed into the Dragon King Temple. It seems that there must be some misunderstanding."

Hu Qian didn't bother to ask any more, and said lightly: "Check carefully."

Then he left the yard with Du Jianzhi and his wife.

"What about the previous house?"

"Occupied by Zhao Er, he saw Xiaoyue's beauty..."

Hu Qian said, "Why didn't you tell me last night?"

"I'm really ashamed of you and Guo Yu, how dare I say anything."

"Okay, I'll take care of this for you.

Didn't you take the Jinshi exam before?Do you still want to develop your career?Still want to do something? "

Du Jianzhi shook his head and said, "I don't want to take the official career anymore..."

Just as he was about to say, Su Xiaoyue secretly tugged on his sleeve.

Du Jianzhi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood.

The rouge business was really good before, but it still couldn't match Zhao Er who had a government background.

What's more, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen can get a lot of money, but after all, they can't be worth the words "My uncle is the minister of Dali Temple".

If he was also an official in the imperial court, would Zhao Er still dare to be so lawless?I dare not think about it.

Seeing him hesitate, Hu Qian said, "Why don't you go back and think about it first."

"it is good."

When she got back to her home, Su Xiaoyue comforted her first, and then said: "Since the emperor has already said so, why don't you take this opportunity to seek an official position.

If it was like this, how could we be bullied so badly by Zhao Er. "

"I know this.

But when he was framed before, I didn't speak up for him, so I don't want any benefits now. "

"The reason why we were threatened by that Zhao Er is because you and him are classmates and friends?

Now the shop is gone, the house is gone, to be disrespectful, if it was because of your relationship with him, would we have ended up in this situation?
I know that he saved my life, and I should be grateful, but I don't want you to be a first-rank or second-rank official, even a ninth-rank petty official.

Let's live in peace and stability from now on, it's better than being frightened..."

She began to cry as she spoke.

At no time, the imperial decree arrived suddenly.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor

The edict said:

Du Jianzhi had a heart for the world and was unparalleled in talent and learning. He was awarded a Jinshi background and promoted to editor of the Imperial Academy. "

Du Jianzhi was in a daze, until Su Xiaoyue pulled him, and then he knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

After a while, there was another neighing of horses and horses outside the house, and then an old man in official clothes came in.

Seeing Du Jianzhi, "Plop" knelt on the ground, "Dare to ask Mr. Du face to face?"

Du Jianzhi asked doubtfully, "Your Excellency?"

"My official is Hande, Minister of Dali Temple, and I am here to make amends to Mr."

The eunuch on the side snorted and said, "It's not Mr. Du now. Mr. Du has just been granted a Jinshi background, and he was granted the title of editor of the Imperial Academy."

Han De was stunned, and kowtowed again and again: "My lord, Zhao Er's incident is indeed due to Han's lax discipline. I also ask my lord to give you a hand and spare his life."

Du Jian knew: "How can I spare him?"

Before he finished speaking, Zuo Xiong walked in with a group of Jinyi guards, "The emperor said that if the lord spares him, he will be spared the death penalty. If the lord refuses, then Zhao Erwen can be beheaded."

Du Jianzhi looked at Su Xiaoyue, saw that Han De was still kneeling on the ground at an old age, and asked, "If you don't ask about the death penalty, how should you punish him?"

"If you ask to be killed, you will be exiled to the Lingnan army."

Exiled to Lingnan...

In fact, it is almost the same as the death penalty.

It was so far from the capital to Lingnan, the exiles were usually handcuffed and fettered, not to mention not having enough food and clothing, getting sick in the wind and rain was a common occurrence, and often died before reaching the place.

The same is death. Many people would rather choose to be killed directly than suffer and die on the road.

Du Jian knew: "Then go into exile, whether he lives or dies depends on his own destiny."

Han De couldn't tell what it was like, so he kowtowed respectfully to express his thanks.

As soon as Zuo Xiong waved his hand, Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward and locked him up, and told Du Jian: "Zhao Erzhan's house and shop have been taken back, Lord Du can go there at any time."

Du Jianzhi quickly thanked Zuo Xiong.

Zuo Xiong didn't dare to push him too hard, after all, this is the emperor's classmate and good friend.

Comparing with Guo Yu again, I think that Lord Du will also be stationed in the cabinet after coming, so he is even more humble.

"Master Du, if you have anything to do, just say hello."

Du Jianzhi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir."

After exchanging pleasantries, Zuo Xiong escorted Han De and others away.

Du Jianzhi stood there in a daze.

Su Xiaoyue stepped forward and hugged him, "It's great, I finally made it through."

Not to mention how happy Du Jianzhi was when the two returned home, after a long time, the envoy from the Eastern Kingdom finally arrived.

What Hu Qian never expected was that the person who came was the empress Huizi herself.

As a show of solemnity, Hu Qian met her in Qianming Palace.

Huizi said: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your majesty's demeanor is still the same."

Hu Qian said: "Keiko is also young and beautiful."

Perhaps it was because he was used to being flattered in China, Keiko's complexion changed slightly when he suddenly heard Hu Qian's words, but he didn't dare to say anything more when he thought of Hu Qian's methods.

"How is Junko?"
