The guards who announced the decree came and went in a hurry.
As the saying goes, Eunuch Fu was full and Young Master Liu fell down. Although Eunuch Fu did not complete the errand assigned by the emperor, he collected so many banknotes for taking advantage of it. It must have been worth it to be taught a lesson. Without Young Master Liu, he would not be so good. Ended.
The two old guys, who originally had some grudges, now had surprisingly the same purpose, and started drinking and talking happily.
Governor Qi put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Liu Zhi'an who was sitting across from him. This was not the first time he met Liu Zhi'an. One was the parent official of Jinling, and the other was the famous richest man in Jiangnan. They usually had to deal with each other, but he was so peaceful. This is the first time we sit together and call each other in-laws.
Compared with his famous reputation, Qi Run still feels ashamed. Even though he is a Yizhou parent and has great power, in terms of influence, he is still not as influential as Liu Zhi'an. Liu Zhi'an's business covers too wide a range. The richest man in the south of the Yangtze River does not mean that Liu Zhi'an's business is only open in the south of the Yangtze River. Liu Zhi'an's business is all over the world. There are horse farms in the northwest, and there are several shops even in the capital. Although the income is not as strong as the business of the local snakes in the capital, the capital's The business is just a few branches, and the main base is still in Jiangnan.
However, no one can underestimate the influence of the Liu family. Jiangnan Liu is not just a name, it represents real power. Liu Zhian stamps his feet and the Jiangnan business world trembles.
Sometimes in other prefectures and counties, Liu Zhi'an's words are much better than the local officials. There is nothing that merchants can do if they disobey the officials' orders. At most, they can be punished, which will not hurt their bones at all. They represent the reputation of the court. Using nonsense to suppress others will only put yourself in trouble, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Liu Zhi'an is different. If your family is suppressed and your family is ruined, the government can't do anything about it. In a word, competition in business is natural. If you want to sue the official, I can sue the official. It's nothing more than this to see who has a greater status.
"In-laws, I didn't expect that after seeing each other for several months, nephew Liu Xian is now extraordinary. I never thought that he and Yun'er would be able to fall in love with each other. They are a match made in heaven. In this way, you and I can relax. "
Liu Zhi'an also nodded lightly. Although the marriage between Young Master Liu and Qi Yun was done by himself, and there was even a hint of coercion in it, Liu Zhi'an had also worried about how to deal with this local official in the future. Qi Run would be his son and daughter's in-laws. What he did was a bit dishonest. Yu Li relied on the power of his sworn brothers Song Yu and King Duan to oppress Qi Run. What he did was unfair. In addition, Qi Yun treated his dandy son in the first place. He was also dismissive, and he was also worried and his brain was broken. Now it is logical and couldn't be better.
"In-laws, the marriage between Quanzi and your daughter is now a matter of course. You understand one of my wishes. To be honest with you, my son is really giving me a headache. He has a stubborn temper and won't lead me away, and he will go backwards. , I won’t mention anything else. Just what happened today made me so angry that I couldn’t resist the decree and refused to say anything. What a wonderful thing it was for the prince to accompany him to study. The future was promising, but he actually gave up like this. , I have the heart to beat him to death!"
Qi Run also laughed bitterly when he heard this. As a parent, he can understand Liu Zhi'an's mood best. He didn't take it when there was a road to the sky, but chose to take some muddy path. Should he be said to be arrogant or should he say Where is he confused? It happened that such a guy was able to win the heart of his daughter. Qi Yun could not forget Qi Run's attitude when she heard Young Master Liu's name before. But now he is attracted to his concubine. It is really unpredictable in the world.
Liu Zhi'an was suddenly stunned, looked into the distance and shouted: "Liu Song, have you not eaten? Continue to smoke, if you can't beat this bastard to death, I will beat him to death, do you believe it?"
Liu Song shrank his neck: "Master, don't blame Xiao Song for being cruel. If you die as a Taoist friend or as a poor Taoist, there is nothing Xiao Song can do!"
Young Master Liu was hung in the air with his arms and legs spread out, his hands and feet bound by hemp ropes and tied to the tree. His half-dead look made Qi Yun and Ying'er, who were looking up under the tree, heartbroken, but there was nothing they could do. Liu Zhian came down No one dares to stop the order.
Mrs. Liu had been persuaded by Liu Zhi'an to get into the carriage a long time ago. Liu Zhi'an directly cut off Young Master Liu's path, which showed that she was really angry today.
"Ouch, Liu Song, you are so fucking slutty. I'm here to fight you all the time."
"Slap, slap hard, you little bastard, do you really want to go to heaven? How dare you use the Golden Dragon Order to order me and your future father-in-law. If I don't teach you a lesson, do you still know your last name? Liu Song, butt There's a lot of meat on it, so don't worry about breaking it. If your butt is bruised, I'll reward you with a thousand taels of silver. My dear, what do you think?"
The governor of Qi also nodded gently and said: "It is time to teach a lesson, no matter how serious it is. This means in front of you and me. If outsiders were present, using the Golden Dragon Order to issue such a confused order would have been dismissed by the Yushi Yanguan." It’s better to have a long memory after impeachment!”
"Oh, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Old man, father-in-law, don't your consciences hurt? Old man, don't forget, I am your biological son, dear! Father-in-law, Why, I am also half your son, how can I bear to hang you up and whip you! Mother! Help me, I am dying, the old man colluded with my father-in-law, government officials and businessmen to take human lives? Where is the person? Help me."
Liu Zhi'an became even more angry and said fiercely to Liu Song: "Liu Song, change to a thicker cane. When will you break it and when will you put it down?"
"My dear, don't let that bastard affect your mood. It's sunny today and the scenery is pleasant. It's rare to come out and relax. Let's have a drink. This is our own good wine. It's extremely rare outside. Please."
Qi Qishi smiled and nodded, and sat down again: "The Liu family's Thousand Miles of Fragrance is famous far and wide, but it is too expensive. I can only taste it with my salary for a year. I have brought down the blessing of my in-laws today, so I must drink it." Ichiban!"
The two old guys started pushing cups and changing cups as if no one else was watching. As for Young Master Liu's screams, in Liu Zhi'an's words, it was like listening to a different song of House of Flying Daggers. How could this little bastard be so young? Where is the soft voice and the loud voice?
Mrs. Liu was restless beside the carriage. Young Master Liu's screams really hurt Mrs. Liu's heart. It was true that the pain in her body hurt her mother's heart. But today, with Governor Qi present, Mrs. Liu couldn't. He refuted Liu Zhi'an's order and could only wait on the side, but his mood was burning with anxiety.
Liu Yuan stood next to the carriage and consoled him: "Madam, please rest assured. The child has grown up with the young master, so he will definitely be measured in his actions."
"But, look at Zhi'er's screams, it's obvious that he was hurt from the beating!"
"Xiao Song, the cotton pad is almost worn out. Change it quickly, otherwise the beating will really end up with you!"
Liu Song nodded hurriedly: "Master, keep calling, I will change the cotton pad for you right now, don't let the master find out about the accident!"
Liu Yi and Liu Si stood aside and looked at the sky, the ground, and the scenery for a while, pretending not to notice the little intrigue between the two.
After a while, Young Master Liu was dragged in front of Liu Zhi'an and Liu Zhi'an. When he saw the clothes on Young Master Liu's butt that were torn into strips, Liu Zhi'an nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Liu Song was working hard!
"Do you know you're wrong?"
Young Master Liu said feebly: "I know!" If it weren't for the sluggish look on Liu Song's face, he would have really thought that he had beaten the young master half to death. He quietly gave a thumbs up, and Liu Song then looked at his nose, nose and heart. .
"What's wrong?"
"Uh...that's all wrong!"
"Liu Song, take the four treasures from the study and ask your young master to write a letter of repentance to remind himself."
For less than half an hour, Mr. Liu scratched his head and touched his chin. He stopped writing with the pen in his hand. Liu Zhi'an and Qi Run couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that this man was serious about not giving him a beating. I can't be honest anymore.
Liu Zhi'an's face turned dark, and Qi Run's face also turned ugly. He looked at the contents of the confession letter on the paper. There was a black bump on top of a black bump, a cross on top of a cross, and only the last three words could still be recognized. I was wrong.
Is this what the confession letter that scratched my head and ears for half an hour was like?
"Liu Yi, Liu Si, hang them up and start whipping them!"
