Li Jian returned to his home in a daze.
Then, I saw the shocked eyes of my family.
Li Jian was a little uneasy: "What happened?"
The family members shook their heads.
Li Jian felt even more unsure.
What the hell are these people doing? Could it be that Master Fu Yao is back? Could it be that I can no longer hide my affairs?
It shouldn't be. If that were the case, I should have been arrested long ago.
Li Jian asked several family members, but they all hesitated.
Because these servants had received money from the general's tabloid, they did not dare to tell the truth to Li Jian.
In fact, they had even packed their bags and were just waiting to run away. Who knows... Li Jian is back again?
And he came back fine?
So...the Li family won't break up? If the Li family is still together, how can they run away? Then will the money he collected be discovered by Li Jian and confiscated?
For a moment, several servants wanted to simply run away.
Of course, it is impossible for such a large Li family to have no loyal ministers.
Of course, there are a few people who have always withstood the temptation of money and have not sold information to the general tabloid.
But the more loyal he is, the less he can bear to reveal Li Jian's scars.
They also asked a few indirect questions. Although Li Jian's words were vague, these family members corroborated the content reported in the general's tabloid, and they probably knew something.
At least, Li Jian was indeed suspected of child trafficking, and was indeed arrested by two old farmers.
Although he has escaped now and has not been punished, he probably found his colleagues to intercede.
Although the person is fine, his reputation is ruined.
The family looked at Li Jian with sympathy and didn't know what to say for a while.
But Li Jian didn't know why, and all he could think about was Li Dao's incident.
After much thought, he felt that he should still ask for help. What if a capable friend wanted to help? What if I can save my life?
Of course, it would be difficult to avoid death, but at least you could save your family, right?
Thinking of this, Li Jian prepared a large amount of money and went to his colleague's home.
As a result, Li Jian felt a strange atmosphere when he arrived at his home.
The family kept looking at him strangely and asking him some strange questions.
"Brother Li, are you really doing that kind of business? Are you making a lot of money?"
"Brother Li is a scholar, farmer, industry and merchant, and merchants are the last of the four peoples. Although we don't pay attention to this anymore, the concept of the people of Qin has not changed. If Brother Li is in this line of work, he will inevitably be despised by others."
"Brother Li, after all, this thing violates the law. Although we are in a high position, we can't be unscrupulous. Not all businesses can be done, and not all money can be made. If you do this kind of thing too much, you won't be afraid of having children without excrement in the future. The door?"
Others have even stranger questions.
"Brother Li, were you really charming when you were young?"
"Brother Li, we are all men, we can understand you."
"It's understandable to be sentimental when you're young, it's understandable. Who hasn't had their youth? Who hasn't done something wrong? But...it just needs to be corrected."
Li Jian didn't know what these people were doing. When he wanted to ask, these people refused to tell.
However, Li Jian also vaguely guessed that these had nothing to do with Master Fu Yao and were probably some insignificant rumors.
Thinking of this, Li Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it has nothing to do with Mr. Fu Yao. Besides that big thing, what else could he take to heart?
So, Li Jian took out the generous gift.
The colleague looked at Li Jian in surprise: "Brother Li, what are you doing? Don't worry, no matter what happens to you, we are all friends and we will not laugh at you."
These colleagues said to Li Jian with sympathetic faces.
Li Jian felt relieved after hearing this.
He said in a deep voice: "In the next few days, maybe something will happen to my lower body. What it is specifically, I am not in a position to say now. But when the time comes, I am sure you will have some kind words for me."
Colleagues all agreed.
They thought to themselves: Doesn’t everyone know about you? Why are you pretending to be confused even though you understand?
But...some things just need to be understood and pretended to be confused. Only in this way can I live up to my reputation.
Even if you know, even if you know that the other party knows, even if you know that the other party knows that you know.
You also have to pretend not to know.
Colleagues thought that Li Jian was also playing this trick, so they agreed.
Li Jian left with a heavy heart.
After he left, his colleagues opened the gift list and were surprised.
Is this... this gift too thick?
What jade, luminous pearl, gold, silver, fairy wine...
These things are not an exaggeration even if they cost lives, right?
Li Jian just abducted a few children. And it’s hard to say whether he was abducted or not.
Wasn't he put back? It can be seen that it is mostly a misunderstanding.
In the final analysis, he just lost some face.
For such a small amount of face, why give such a generous gift?
The colleague said with emotion: "Brother Li, you really cherish your reputation too much."
Li Jian visited many colleagues. These colleagues all looked at him with the same eyes, then agreed to his vague request and sent him out.
On the way home, Li Jian felt something was wrong the more he thought about it.
He found that not only his colleagues, but also passers-by looked at him strangely.
No, this isn't right.
Something must have happened to me.
It shouldn't be a fatal matter, it should be something rather embarrassing.
Otherwise, there would be no sympathy in the eyes of these people, and there would be no sympathy but also a hint of schadenfreude.
Li Jian, worthy of being a general who had been at the border for a long time, quickly made the correct judgment.
Then he began to wonder: What is so embarrassing about me?
I haven’t done much since I entered Xianyang City?
Except when Fusu and Fu Yao were fighting for the crown prince, I came up with some ideas, but I never did anything else, right?
If I don't do anything, how can I be embarrassed?
Just when Li Jian thought of this, he heard the sound of storytelling coming from the Exorcist Tower.
In fact, the storyteller's voice is not loud and would not be heard on the street.
But storytellers often raise their voices when talking about exciting points.
This is their technique. They deliberately make people outside listen to the book half-heartedly, and become extremely curious in their hearts, and then they can't help but listen to the book.
Just listen to the storyteller say: "It is said that Pan and the high officials of Ximen are inseparable and collude together. No one in the city knows it, except Wu Dalang. But there is a saying that is good, there is no airtight wall in the world, On this day, their adultery was exposed!"
When the storyteller said this, his voice became quieter.
And Li Jian knew what happened next. After all, he was a rich man. He had heard of the later books and even read the original version.
Wu Dalang caught Ximen Qing in bed and was kicked by Ximen Qing...
etc!
Li Jian's mind suddenly buzzed, could it be...
He suddenly became a little worried.
He is at the border, but his family members are all in Xianyang City.
If we don’t see each other a few times a year, will the wives and concubines at home have other ideas?
It's just a lady, she is a lady from a famous family after all. The key is that she is old and shouldn't do anything.
And what about those young concubines? In particular, several of them were originally dancing girls.
These people are young, beautiful, and lively, and they never know what shame is.
Although I love them shamelessly. But if they use these shamelessly on others.
Li Jian shuddered.
No way? No way?
But the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.
Are the dancers at home unwilling to be lonely and getting along with others?
So it caused a storm in the city? But you are the only one who doesn’t know?
When Li Jian thought of this, he immediately understood the way everyone looked at him. Yes, that was definitely the case.
Li Jian thought of this and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Poor me, I'm still walking around on the street. It turns out that I've lost all my face a long time ago." Li Jian covered his face with his sleeves and ran back all the way.
The people on the street looked at Li Jian in surprise, thinking: After General Li came back, he has been walking around in a swaggering way, looking like he doesn't care. Why are you suddenly ashamed now? How strange.
After Li Jian returned to the house, he immediately pulled out the sword and said sternly: "You little whores and women, get out of here."
He called out all three concubines at home.
The three concubines were trembling and looked at him in fear.
Li Jian asked coldly: "Are you recruiting people yourself, or do you want me to kill you and then confess?"
These concubines were trembling with fear, begging for mercy again and again, crying like rain: "General, we... we didn't do anything wrong."
Li Jian gritted his teeth and said, "You have entered the door of my Li family, but you don't care about women. You spend all day hooking up. Do you think I don't know?"
The faces of these concubines suddenly turned pale.
They fell to their knees one after another, trembling all over.
In addition to fear, these people were also deeply puzzled: How could the general know? We do it very covertly.
These three dancers fell in love with Li Jian's nephew, Li Qiang.
This nephew was born strong and handsome.
After he went in and out of the mansion several times, he gradually fell in love with these dancers.
Li Jian was not at home all year round, so Li Qiang helped Li Jian comfort them.
No one knew about this matter. Unexpectedly, there is no airtight wall in the world.
After Li Jian found out the truth, he became furious and immediately ordered people to arrest Li Qiang.
Li Jian originally wanted to kill Li Qiang to vent his anger, but then he thought about it and it was hard to say whether he could save his life.
And since he has no sons, he may have to rely on his nephew to offer sacrifices after his death.
In the end, Li Jian let out a long sigh and just ordered someone to give Li a hard shot.
As for the three dancing girls, they were imprisoned by Li Jian. They had not decided whether to kill or sell them.
It is true that there is no airtight wall in this world. The scandal between Li Jian and Wu Ji was quickly known by the general tabloid.
As a result, the sales of Jiangjun tabloid increased sharply.
The person who revealed the news was the servant of Li Jian's family.
These people have sold news before. Based on the principle of breaking the pot, let’s sell it again.
Anyway, one sheep is being driven, and two sheep are being herded.
Anyway... I plan to divide my luggage and run away.
…………
Ying Zheng's study.
Ying Zheng had just received Fu Yao's report and probably knew about Li Jian's secret funding of Sankunshan.
He sneered: "This Li Jian is really unwilling to be lonely. Why didn't I know that there were such talents in the court?"
Before Ying Zheng saw this memorial, he had already seen the general's tabloid.
It was precisely because he saw the General tabloid that he defined Li Jian as a very funny person.
This kind of person dares to choose the prince, which gives Ying Zheng a ridiculous impression.
If you had not read the general tabloid before and directly read the memorial, Ying Zheng might have been furious by now and wanted to cut Li Jian into pieces with a thousand knives.
I have to say that sometimes being weak and funny is really a protective umbrella for people.
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said to the young eunuch beside him: "Go and call Huaiguzi. Fu Yao is his apprentice. As for how Li Jian should be dealt with, I want to listen to his opinion."
The young eunuch agreed and hurried to Shangjun's courtyard.
…………
In Shangjun Courtyard, Li Shui was chatting with Weiyang.
The content of the chat is also a hot topic in Xianyang City today.
Li Jian.
Weiyang laughed loudly while reading the newspaper, and then said to Li Shui: "Husband, do you think this Li Jian is really a human trafficker?"
Li Shui smiled and shook his head.
Li Shui knew the whole story, so he analyzed it and said: "This Li Jian probably knew the news about Li Dao, and then wanted to escape, but when he escaped, he was misunderstood for some reason and was regarded as a human trafficker. Arrive at the government office."
"After he was released, he probably knew that there was no hope of escape, so he returned to Xianyang City."
"As for how he found out that the dancer in the mansion was having an affair with someone, I don't know. It's really unpredictable."
Weiyang looked at Li Shui for a while, then blinked and said, "Are you really an immortal?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said seriously: "Of course."
Weiyang rolled her eyes: "I'm not stupid. If you were really an immortal, how could you..."
Then she laughed.
Li Shui was a little depressed. They were husband and wife, and they lived together day and night. They couldn't pretend all the time, something would always leak out.
Weiyang came over and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter you are an immortal or not, I admire you very much. After all, the things you make are comparable to those of an immortal."
Li Shui breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Suddenly, he came back to his senses and said: "What are these words? I am an immortal."
Just as the two of them said this, a little maid hurried in.
She was holding a box in her hand, which contained a glass piece with some liquid on it.
The little maid said: "The results are out. Miss Zhu tested it herself. Let the servant come to announce the good news. Princess, you are pregnant with a fairy child."
Princess Weiyang's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she blushed with embarrassment.
