That night, Jiang Han and Zhongli Wuyou drank until the end of the day. Not only did they see Zhongli Wuyou's sword skills, but they also saw Zhongli Wuyou's drinking capacity.
This great Confucian had a very good capacity for drinking. He was only slightly drunk after four to five kilograms of wine, but Jiang Han was very drunk.
Although the alcohol content of Dayu's wine is not high, his predecessor rarely drank alcohol and got drunk after just a few drinks.
When he woke up, he found that he was sleeping in a side hall. After asking the servant what time it was in the morning, he fell back to sleep.
He slept until noon before getting up. After washing up, he learned that Zhongli was still sleeping and did not say goodbye, so he returned to Ningguo Mansion.
He had no intention of hiding the assassination from Qin Zhong, so when he came back, he showed an angry look and went directly to the housekeeper to tell him that he wanted to see his father-in-law.
Seeing his uncle's face full of shock and anger, Qin Fen didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly led him to Qin Zhong's study.
Qin Zhong was reading a book. When he saw Jiang Han coming, he raised his head and asked in a warm voice: "Han'er, what do you want from me?"
Jiang Han showed an angry look and said, "Father-in-law, someone wanted to kill me last night!"
Qin Zhong's expression suddenly changed and he glanced at Qin Fen, who turned around and closed the study door.
Qin Zhong's aura also changed, and he asked: "I was surprised when you didn't come back last night. Later, someone from Anxiang Academy came to report that you were in Zhongli, so I felt relieved. What happened?"
Jiang Han was about to tell the story of his assassination, and then talked about his speculation: "Yin Tingli showed great hostility to me that day. I suspect that he sent the murderer to kill me!"
His face was full of anger, but also slightly frightened, and he said: "If it weren't for Lord Zhongli, my son-in-law would have been killed by now!"
Qin Zhong's face suddenly darkened and he said: "That wolf cub of the Yin family is so brave! He dares to send people to kill my son-in-law of Ningguo Mansion! Do you think that my Ningguo Mansion is a soft persimmon!... Is there anyone left alive?"
"No." Jiang Han shook his head. Everyone was killed by Si Jian. How could there be any survivors? Moreover, even if there were survivors, it might not be possible to identify the real culprit.
"You are so brave! You are so brave! This Yin Tingli deserves to die!"
Qin Zhong was so angry that his lips trembled. If such a good son-in-law was killed, where would he find another?
Jiang Han said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is afraid that if he fails to assassinate him once, he will try again."
Qin Zhong paced in the room and said, "I will send two people to protect you personally. Qin Fen, you go and choose two warriors who are good at martial arts and loyal."
Qin Fen said: "Yes, sir."
Qin Zhong muttered: "Over there with the Yin family...the eldest brother of the Yin family also has a hereditary title in Kyoto. If we want to kill Yin Tinli, a wolf cub, we have to deal with the eldest brother of the Yin family. It will not be easy...but I will Write a letter to Kyoto and ask my eldest brother to deal with the Yin family! This matter must not be rushed, and you must not act rashly in anger."
"Yes, my father-in-law."
Jiang Han cupped his hands and exited the study.
After exiting the study, he put away his angry expression and looked calm.
He told Qin Zhong that he naturally did not expect Qin Zhong to avenge him immediately. The power of the Yin family was no worse than that of the Ningguo Mansion. It was difficult to convict Yin Tingli based on the four dead murderers alone.
What if I didn't send someone to bite someone to death?
The reason why he told Qin Zhong was, firstly, to stir up trouble and make the matter bigger so that Yin Tingli would not dare to do anything secretly again. Secondly, he wanted to achieve what Confucian Zhongli said, to be harmonious!
The several times he showed his talent in poetry were equivalent to setting up the persona of a talented man in front of everyone. When people mention him, they will think of his "The Story of Wu Song" and his "Moyuer".
Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't.
So how do you achieve harmony with light?
Jiang Han thought for a long time and finally thought of a way, which was to create another persona for himself.
A cowardly character who is afraid of death.
So as soon as he came back, he told Qin Zhong and asked Qin Zhong to send people to protect him and make a big fanfare about it. Then he would stay in the Ningguo Mansion for several days without going out, which made people think that although he was talented, he was timid and afraid of death. Extremely.
When people think of him, they think not only of a talented man, but also of a scholar who doesn't know martial arts and is timid by nature.
In this way, those who want to deal with him will take him lightly.
And after he kills Yin Tingli, others will not associate Yin Tingli's death with a cowardly son-in-law.
That's right, he is determined to kill Yin Tingli. No matter who is behind him, he almost killed himself. This revenge must be avenged!
…
Yin Mansion.
study.
Yin Xiangrong put his hands behind his back, his face gloomy. Yin Tingli stood behind him.
"Did you send someone to kill Jiang Han?"
"Yes, father."
"Nonsense! Didn't you say you wanted to subdue this man for your own use? How could you send someone to kill him?"
"Father, calm down. This man is so presumptuous that he not only sold the right to sell books to Qingqiutang, but also ridiculed me. If I don't kill him, it's hard to vent my hatred!" Yin Tingli said solemnly.
Just now, he learned that the four killers he sent not only failed, but were all killed. He also learned that Ningguo Mansion made a big fuss after learning about the incident and actually reported it to the government office and asked the prefect to thoroughly investigate the real culprit.
He was relieved at the government office. No matter how the officials checked, they could not find him.
However, the originally foolproof plan failed!
Is it so difficult to deal with a poor scholar with no power?
Yin Xiangrong said solemnly: "If you want to kill him, you don't have to rush now! It would be a good thing if you fail now, it will make Ningguo Mansion take precautions!"
Yin Tingli said: "Father, that kid Jiang Han survived the attack of four warriors all because Zhongli sent Sijian to invite Jiang Han to drink at Anxiang Academy, but she ran into him and the solution was resolved. He killed my man, otherwise he would never survive!"
Yin Xiangrong frowned and said, "This boy is lucky! He happened to meet Zhongli and sent someone to invite him!"
Yin Tingli said: "Actually, there is a reason why the boy sent someone to kill him. If the great scholar Zhongli wants to accept a closed disciple, this person will be my opponent... From what happened last night, it is obvious that the great scholar Zhongli values Jiang very much. Han, actually invited him to have a drink at night, I'm afraid... if Master Zhongli really wants to accept a disciple, it will be this Jiang Han!"
Yin Xiangrong slowly rolled a small gourd in his hand like a cattail leaf, and said in a deep voice: "The Ningguo Mansion has made such a big fuss about this matter that you can't take action against Jiang Han for the time being... But although that boy is talented in poetry, he may not be better than you in other aspects. , why do you have to worry and do such a stupid thing!"
"The child is reckless."
"Fortunately, the people you sent are all dead soldiers and will not testify against you. I heard that they have all been killed. This matter can be considered over..."
Yin Xiangrong muttered: "Well, the day after tomorrow is when the construction of the Phoenix Terrace is completed. At that time, the prefect Jia Wang will definitely invite the great scholar Zhongli and the talented scholar Yunmeng to come and compose poems. You should prepare well for me and show off your talents on the Phoenix Terrace. It’s best to win the favor of Master Zhongli and let him accept you as his disciple!”
"My child, go back and prepare now."
