Plum Mansion.
Li Hongbi sent Mei Wanyan back in person.
Then, he saw Lord Mei Dahou standing at the door with a knife.
"Ahem, Uncle Shi, you look good!"
Li Hongbi smiled and took the initiative to say hello.
The result was unimaginable, Mei Yin actually raised his knife and struck!
"Fuck you!"
"Mei Boyin, are you crazy?"
"You really hit me with a knife, you!"
Li Hongbi was frightened and backed away crazily.
"father!"
Mei Wanyan was also shocked and rushed forward to block Mei Yin's hand.
Then, there was nothing more. Mei Yin's hand just stopped in mid-air, and the knife didn't move at all.
Li Hongbi froze on the spot, always feeling that something was wrong.
Mei Wanyan rolled her eyes at him angrily.
"Run quickly!"
"Hey, Uncle Shi, I'm leaving. Please go home and take some medicine!"
Li Hongbi roared viciously, then quickly got into the carriage and fled in a mad and hasty manner.
After he walked away, Mei Wanyan put down her hand.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Mei Yin's face was ashen, "You have the nerve to ask!"
"It's just holding hands on the street, but you still listened to that boy, and the girl went to a brothel. Do you want to make your father angry to death?"
Seeing what happened was revealed, Mei Wanyan couldn't stand up anymore, so she simply stamped her feet, turned around and ran back to the mansion.
Looking at her daughter's back, Mei Yin was so angry that she cursed and wanted to cut Li Hongbi into pieces with a thousand knives.
This bastard is nothing!
At the same time, Li Hongbi also yelled at Mei Yin in the carriage.
What does Lao Deng mean?
Are you really going to kill him with a knife?
It’s simply baffling!
Why the hell did you force me to marry your daughter? Now that I'm so in love with your daughter Qin Se and Ming, you're still going to chop me with a knife?
Not so unreasonable!
Cursing, Li Hongbi returned to the Duke's Mansion.
Sheng Yin did not follow back and ran to celebrate with Cheng Dieyi.
There is no doubt that "Chi Ling" swept the audience as soon as it came out.
Cheng Dieyi not only won the first prize, but she was also the first oiran king in the history of Piaoxiang Garden, the oiran among oirans!
In the past, this position was occupied by Baixiang Pavilion, but this time because of Li Hongbi's move, Cheng Dieyi also completed a legend.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the song "Red Ling", Cheng Dieyi will become an instant hit, famous throughout the Jinling Imperial Capital, and even the entire world!
Therefore, she, the king of courtesans, deserves the title!
After all, this matter has become an issue of political stance. How can those noble judges and the like dare to suppress people just because of some financial backers!
When the court investigates, they will be left with nothing to eat!
The result was pretty good, and Li Hongbi's hard work was not in vain.
Cheng Dieyi originally excitedly invited him to the banquet, but Li Hongbi refused.
Because there is an old dude in his family, and he has to come back to get together for the holidays anyway.
But after Li Hongbi returned home, he was immediately dumbfounded.
The old man traveled ten miles to Qinhuai and has not returned yet.
Uncle Quan went to celebrate the festival with his family and is not here today.
The huge Cao Guogong Mansion seemed empty, with no one talking.
Busy, everyone is busy, it’s better to be busy!
Li Hongbi was angry, turned around and prepared to go straight to Qinhuai, which is ten miles away.
But at this moment, three little ones hurried over.
"Teacher, there is something wrong with this Hu Shang!"
Qiu Song said excitedly: "We were going to send this guy to Yingtian Mansion Yamen according to the instructions of our mentor, but this Hu Shang kept shouting that he really has some treasure that can help my mentor get promoted to a noble position, and he will rise to great heights!"
"The three of us thought about it and thought that we wouldn't suffer anyway, so we might as well take the treasure first and then send him to the Yamen for punishment!"
Li Hongbi: "..."
Ah this?
Is this really good?
Shouldn’t the disciples taught by me, Li Hongbi, be aboveboard?
How could you have such an insidious and cunning idea?
"Ahem, whose idea was this?"
Zhu Yong and Qiu Song were stunned and looked at Gu Xingzu.
Gu Xingzu had no expression on his face and nodded directly.
Li Hongbi slapped his forehead when he saw this. It turned out to be this sinister person with a small face and paralysis.
"Okay, okay, leave the people to me and go back early for the reunion dinner."
The three little ones just nodded. Their family was still waiting for him to go back for dinner, so they left in a hurry.
Although Gu Xingzu and his grandfather Gu Cheng haven't come back yet, his family has already prepared the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so they have to go back for reunion.
Hu Shang was thrown to the ground, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the devil Li Hongbi again, which scared him so much that he almost cried.
Li Hongbi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. My prince, time is precious. This is your last chance."
"My lord, my lord, I know you have learned from me that I really have a treasure that can help you get promoted to a higher position, and help you rise to great heights..."
Hearing this, Li Hongbi shook his head disdainfully.
"First, do you have any misunderstandings about the official system of our Ming Dynasty? Or do you think our Ming Dynasty is very poor? A mere so-called treasure can still get people promoted to official positions and titles? Do you think that my official positions and titles in the Ming Dynasty are just cabbage? ?”
"Secondly, do you think that I am easy to deceive? Even if you really have some treasure, how can you be reduced to making a living by setting up a street stall and cheating people out of money? I'm afraid you would have used this treasure to exchange for wealth. Bar?"
"Thirdly, I am the eldest son of Cao Guogong, and Cao Guogong is the top Duke of the Ming Dynasty. He has power, status, and money. What treasures have I not seen before? You are so arrogant. How can you let this treasure of yours pass? Can this prince be the first king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty?"
Li Hongbi's three deadly attacks immediately defeated this Hu Shang.
How could he have imagined that the person he offended would be the Crown Prince of Cao Guogong!
Hu Shang has been in the Ming Dynasty for so long. Not only does he speak Chinese fluently, but he also has a good understanding of the official system of the Ming Dynasty. He also understands the status of the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. He is simply the group of people who stand at the core of power. !
"Your Majesty, this little treasure is not a treasure, but..."
When he said this, a flash of struggle flashed in Hu Shang's eyes.
"As long as the prince is willing to let me go and not pursue my faults later, I will be willing to dedicate this treasure to the prince!"
Hearing this, Li Hongbi waved his hand impatiently.
This Hu Shang doesn't know whether to call him smart or stupid.
Your life is now in the hands of others, and you still dare to talk about terms without shame.
Li Hongbi was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. He still wanted to rush to Qinhuai, ten miles away, to meet up with the old dude!
"Someone, drag this guy away and send him to Yingtian Mansion Yamen!"
Two guards walked in immediately and dragged Shang Hu out without any explanation.
Li Hongbi also got up and prepared to rush to Qinhuai, which is ten miles away.
As a result, after Hu Shang was restrained by the guards, he suddenly shouted: "Master! What I said is true. This treasure can save countless lives and save a large number of people!"
Li Hongbi didn't even look back when he heard this and walked out on his own.
Countless lives?
Save a large number of people?
Why is this thing of yours a magic medicine?
Seeing this situation, Hu Shang became even more panicked.
"Your Majesty, please stay!"
"This thing is a kind of grain, produced in foreign continents overseas. It is as big as a fist, has a scarlet skin, a crisp and juicy heart, and is edible both raw and cooked. The yield is extremely high..."
The two guards were a little impatient. Seeing that this guy was still struggling, they couldn't help but want to punch him and knock him out, so that everything would be quiet.
But just as the guard raised his fist, Li Hongbi's shout came from behind him.
"stop!"
Li Hongbi rushed forward, leaned over and looked directly at the Hu businessman, his sharp gaze making people feel chilled in their hearts.
"Is there any truth in what you just said?"
"If you dare to tell any lies, I will definitely skin you and light up a sky lantern!"
Hu Shang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and cried: "Master Ming Jian, everything I said is true!"
"When I got the grain, I immediately came to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for money and property. But who would have thought that no one in the Ming Dynasty knew the goods, so I had to rely on deception to make a living..."
After hearing this, Li Hongbi's doubts disappeared and his expression became rarely serious.
Damn it, how could that thing appear in Daming now?
This is unscientific!
