Dong Qian hurried over and asked, "Brother Li, are you okay?"
Li Yong raised his eyes and saw the concerned look on the other party's face, and replied very calmly, "It's okay, it's just a false alarm."
Dong Qian looked relieved and said, "Fortunately, you're okay, otherwise, if the emperor doesn't blame him, the prince will also arrest us and we will launch an army to hold him accountable!"
His words were obviously meant to praise Li Yong, but they actually had bad intentions.
Li Yong smiled, "Brother Dong, you should quickly find a follower with good water skills to rescue people."
Dong Qian's eyes flickered and he looked towards the lake.
At this time, the strength of the woman's splash in the water was much weaker, and she was about to sink. He frowned, "After all, it is a human life."
Then he ordered a follower to go rescue people.
The attendant was very careful. He took the oar from the boatman's hand and threw it into the water. Then he jumped down, grabbed the woman by the back of her neck, and with the power of lightly stepping on the oar, jumped back onto the boat. The whole process was complete. No woman was encountered.
Xue Zhun laughed: "I heard that Commander Dong's rule was very strict. Now I see that it is indeed well-deserved. Even a follower next to me has such good skills. In this case, why didn't you save her earlier? This woman would have died." .”
Xue Zhun is carefree, but he gets to the point every time.
Li Yong and Xu Minzhi looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
Dong Qian looked around and said to her, "She's just a singer, why bother with her, let's just go back and drink."
Everyone cheered and entered the cabin again.
Xue Zhun looked back at the woman and whispered to Xu Minzhi, "Hey, I think this woman is the one Dong commanded."
Xu Minzhi patted him on the shoulder and said nothing.
But he secretly exchanged glances with Li Yong.
Xue Zhun's reminder is already obvious.
He could see that someone was plotting against Li Yong, so he said this deliberately.
Li Yong thought to himself, the disciples from the aristocratic family are really not simple-minded. They look careless, but they are so careful. I wonder if he saw who was pushing him from behind.
Back in the cabin, everyone quickly forgot about the little thing just now, and Le Ji picked up the pipa again and started playing it.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, everyone dispersed after enjoying themselves.
Li Yong and Xu Minzhi walked for a while and then returned to their mansions. Seeing the Xuandehou Mansion in front of them, the carriage was stopped by someone. new
Li Yong opened the car curtain and saw a man who looked like a boy, "Who are you?"
"Sir, Miss Li sent a servant back to Xuandehou's Mansion to report something important. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Li Yong's heart skipped a beat, "It's so late, what can I do?"
"Please sir, please lend me a moment to speak."
Li Yong looked up and down at the young man in front of him. He was handsome and young.
He knew that several of his niece's attendants were from Qin Zeng, but he didn't know if this boy was one.
Despite this speculation, he still cautiously asked his attendants to search the person's body. After seeing that there was no hidden weapon, he got out of the car and spoke to the person.
A few steps away is a dark alley.
The boy walked over and lowered his head, waiting for Li Yong to come over.
Li Yong followed him and asked, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me."
In the shadow of the alley, the boy raised his head, pulled his belt and hair bun with a very neat movement, and threw himself into Li Yong's arms!
Li Yong pushed in shock, but the person in his arms hugged him tightly and shouted: "Come here! Help!"
This voice is clearly that of a woman!
The sound of chaotic footsteps soon came. Li Yong's heart tightened and he looked at the person coming, "Dong Qian?"
"Brother Li? What are you doing?"
Li Yong had a cold face and didn't say anything. The woman's clothes were messy and she knelt down at Dong Qian's feet in panic!
"Master! This man is frivolous and molesting little girls. I beg you, sir, to make the decision for me!"
Li Yong looked at the two people standing and kneeling, as well as the men behind Dong Qian who were also wearing military uniforms in the barracks, and his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.
It seems that one plan failed and another plan was created.
Or maybe, it was just a small test before, but now it is serious.
What on earth does Dong Qian want to do?
Such a trap full of flaws can be found out with a little investigation.
The woman cried bitterly: "This little girl was just passing by, and she was dragged into an alley by this man. My lord, you must seek justice for this little girl!"
Dong Qian was polite and said, "Brother Li, I believe in your character, but with so many brothers in the camp watching, it's not good for me to be selfish. I would also like to ask Brother Li to come back to the Army and Horses Division with me. For example After thorough investigation, Dong personally sent Brother Li back, otherwise if he alerted the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he would probably hurt Brother Li's face, and now he would be offended."
The Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises all officials. If someone has bad moral character, the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be very good at making a fuss.
Li Yong was personally promoted by the emperor. If something like this happened to him, he would be the only one who would lose face.
However, he couldn't let Dong Qian lead him by the nose.
"Brother Dong just mentioned the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I think it's a good idea."
Dong Qian felt awe-struck in his heart, "Why, Brother Li is really going to alarm the Metropolitan Procuratorate over this trivial matter?"
"please."
Dong Qian paused on the spot.
Li Yong raised his lips, "It's understandable that Brother Dong wants to make the decision for this woman. Just ask the Yushi Yanguan. However, this kind of case probably won't get involved with the Military and Horse Department, and the origin of this woman is unknown. Even if she is from a good family. I am a woman who is also a public prosecutor. I will settle the matter first and then discuss it. I will not go anywhere except the government office in Gyeonggi Province. Brother Dong, please invite whoever you want to come."
Dong Qian's complexion gradually turned green.
Back then, he was always outclassed by Li Yong. After taking the path of martial arts, he climbed to where he is today through hard work. However, Li Yong retreated to Yangzhou with the Li family for so many years, and was promoted to the crown prince by the emperor as soon as he emerged. Young Master, this is enough to ignite Dong Qian's burning jealousy.
"Brother Li, you and I have been acquaintances for many years, but it's just a formality, why should we be so serious?"
Li Yong said: "The merits of right and wrong have their own conclusions. It is precisely because you and I are acquaintances that I cannot go with you. What if the incident spreads and I think you and I will protect each other? I will not be able to tell my story clearly at that time. If I have to involve you, I’ll feel really bad!”
Dong Qian couldn't stand up in front of so many subordinates, and his face looked a little ugly, so he glanced at the woman.
The woman's face turned a little pale when she heard Li Yong say that the people should be punished first when they sue the officials. At this time, when she saw Dong Qian looking over with a bad look, she gritted her teeth, tore up her clothes and rushed towards the gate of Xuandehou Mansion.
Li Yong's eyes turned cold and he wanted to stop him, but he couldn't reach out to catch the person himself, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tell clearly.
Dong Qian waved his hand and asked someone to "stop" the woman, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, why should such a simple matter be so complicated? If you don't listen to my good advice, then I won't care."
What he meant was that Li Yong insisted on going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Gyeonggi Yamen, so he took the people away directly. No matter how entangled the woman was, she would not do anything to him.
The woman kept struggling and seemed unwilling to give up.
But Li Yong couldn't really let her cause trouble in the palace. If she got involved in such a thing, people would inevitably talk about it behind their backs. Even if the time came to find out, the Xuandehou Palace would inevitably become a joke for others.
If this woman died in front of the house, it would be really hard to explain.
"Since Brother Dong is willing to bother with Li, that's troublesome."
Dong Qian smiled and said, "Please."
*****
The Wei Mansion is still investigating the matter of the cinnabar candles. Princess Yuanheng has taken stock of the sources of candles in the mansion this year. She has no time to pay attention to other things, and she has no idea that she has accidentally escaped a disaster.
Li Qingyi was actually assassinated. After that, Qin Zeng sent four guards over. Although they were not walking in the Wei mansion, as long as Li Qingyi shouted, he would be able to stand in front of her immediately.
She readily accepted Qin Zeng's protection and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But girls, this
The atmosphere has been a bit strange for the past few days.
I wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and I didn't dare to speak out in private, so I only made eye contact.
Seeing their flirting, Li Qingyi said amusedly: "If you have something to say, just say it directly, lest your eyeballs won't be able to bear it and fall out of their sockets that day."
The girls looked at each other and wanted to speak, but they didn't know how.
Silan took courage and was about to speak when a report from the guard came from outside, "Girl, someone is coming from the Xuandehou Mansion."
Li Qingyi frowned and left the room, "Why is there someone at home at this hour? What happened?"
The guard explained in detail what had just happened.
Li Qingyi had an ominous premonition in his heart, "It's full of flaws."
Changlan asked: "Who is that Dong Qian?"
Li Qingyi recalled, "Dong Qian should be someone whom my second uncle had known in his early years. I have some impression of him."
The guard said: "Dong Qian has ordered the military envoy of Beicheng."
"The Commander of the North City Army and Horses?"
Li Qingyi’s scalp went crazy in an instant!
Dong Qian, the envoy of the North City Army and Horses Division, married Zou’s sister!
Could it be that Lin, together with Zou and her brother-in-law, framed the second uncle?
*****
Peilan Courtyard.
Lin pinched her eyebrows with two fingers.
Mother Zhao brought hot tea over and said, "Madam, you have been very tired in Heyan Hall these past few days, so you should have a good rest tonight."
As Mrs. Wei's health improved, she no longer wanted Lin to take care of her. The two aunts took care of the old lady, and Mrs. Lin was proud to come back to rest.
Lin asked, "Has there been any news from Zou?"
Mother Zhao shook her head: "Not yet."
Mrs. Lin took a deep breath and remembered what she said when she went to see Mrs. Zou that day.
"So what if he is my man? How much money has he spent on me over the years? You want me to use money to fill his hole? That's a dream! It's good that I can still plan for him now!"
Lin's internal organs were trembling with anger when she heard what she said, "If he dies, you will be a widow. Are you willing to do that?"
"Huh, so what if I become a widow. There are so many women remarrying in Dajing. What should I be afraid of!"
Mrs. Lin was so angry that her head was smoking, so she could only compromise.
"People like Zou have no bottom line. If I had known what happened, I shouldn't have encouraged my mother to propose a marriage to the Zou family to Wen Ye."
