"Boss, let me tell you, if you give each of those children ten cents, they will be satisfied. Why do you have to give so much?"
In a small tavern in the East Market, a carefree young man said while eating wine and food.
"Hmph! You know nothing! This time, the superiors gave us an extra five guans as hard work. If we deduct it again, the superiors will find out. If such a good thing happens next time, where will we get it? Share?"
The burly man opposite the young man took a sip of wine happily and said angrily.
This person is Biaozi who led a group of children to Cui Shanyou's house in Shengyefang in the morning to defecate. Biaozi is a gangster from the south of Chang'an City. He has a dozen or so younger brothers. He is a man of trust and righteousness and has no ambitions. , but he treats his own people very well, so the people below him are willing to follow him. If there is anything inconvenient for rich people to come forward, they also like to come to him to deal with it.
"Hey, the boss is wise! The boss is wise!"
The little follower quickly gave him a loud flattery.
"Haha! You have great vision!"
"But, boss, who do you think is looking for us this time? Why did he make such a strange request? And the bounty is so high. Is there something wrong with this person's brain?"
Another follower asked with a smile.
"Snapped!"
"Your mother-in-law has a problem with her brain! If people have money, they can do whatever they want. Why do you care so much? Without them to give you money, you would still be begging for food on the street!"
Biaozi angrily slapped the follower on the head.
"Ah! What the boss said is true, what the boss said is true!"

"Xuan'er, why did His Majesty ask you to attend the morning court today? Did something happen?"
After bragging with Lao Cheng for a while in front of the palace gate and sarcastically mocking Lu Yanyu and others, Li Zexuan happily returned home and met a worried-looking Father Li.
Yesterday, Li Er did not know about Li Zexuan's "starting a small stove" and "advance exercises". In order to avoid the worries of the two elders, Li Zexuan did not tell Li Jingmo about the impeachment of Cui Shanyou and others. He only said that Li Er asked him to participate in today's meeting. The reason was not given in detail.
But Li Jingmo was such a shrewd person, he had more or less guessed it, but his son didn't tell him, and he didn't go to get to the bottom of it.
"Dad, it's nothing serious, just a few indifferent impeachments! The child has been solved!"
Li Zexuan laughed and said nonchalantly.
Facts have proved that among the eight Imperial Doctors, except for Cui Shanyou, who has some fighting ability, the rest are vulnerable. There is no need to worry about them.
"Impeach? Who dares to impeach my son? My Xuan'er is working hard in the Imperial College and training talents for the imperial court. Why do they want to impeach me?"
Mrs. Li, who came with Father Li, said angrily when she heard this.
Li Zexuan's face turned red when he was praised for being "conscientious" and "working hard". Is this talking about him?
"Ahem, mother, it doesn't matter. A man who can endure hardships is really a tough man, but a man who is not envied by others is a mediocre person. My child has done so well in the Imperial College, and it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of others! You don't have to worry, your majesty is deeply concerned about your child's efforts. That's right! His old man won't do anything to his children because of those people!"
In order to reassure his father and mother, Li Zexuan also risked his life, he boasted.
"Eh~~! Brother is so shameless!"
Lan'er ran over, made a "shy" face, and said with a smile.
"Hey, that little girl really wants to be beaten!"
"Ah~! No!"
Li Zexuan pretended to fight, but Lan'er was so frightened that she ran all over the yard.
Father Li and Mother Li looked at the children playing in the courtyard with warm faces, feeling that it was great for the family to be together.

"Brother Shanyou, are you okay?"
Imperial Medical Office.
Lu Yanyu, Zheng Zhanli and others, who had just finished their morning court, came to the Imperial Medical Office to visit Cui Shanyou.
"Well, it's nothing serious. Yan Yu, how was the situation in the court today? Did Your Majesty punish Li Zexuan severely?"
With the help of Zheng Zhanli, Cui Shanyou sat up, leaned on the bed and said weakly.
As people get older, their vitality is already low. Cui Shanyou's vomiting of blood really damaged his vitality.
"Uh...Brother Cui, Your Majesty did not discuss our impeachment of Li Zexuan this morning?"
Lu Yanyu said solemnly.
"What? How could...ahem...ahem!"
"Brother Cui, don't be excited, don't be excited. His Majesty said that we will discuss this matter again after you recover. Your health is important! Take care of yourself!"
When Cui Shanyou was in a hurry, his blood surged and he couldn't help coughing. Zheng Zhanli quickly came up and patted his back and comforted him.
"Oh, you don't understand! I could have caught Li Zexuan off guard this time, but I didn't expect that such a change would happen in the middle. It's also my fault that I can't calm down. Alas, as the saying goes, if you make a big effort, it will fail again, and then you will be exhausted. , after this incident, Li Zexuan is on guard. Even if I personally appear next time, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent!"
Cui Shanyou said with a sad look on his face.
The others also understood that what Cui Shanyou said was the truth, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. They secretly regretted not standing up bravely in the court just now, and the room fell into silence for a while.
"That's all! Yan Yu, tell me in detail what happened in the court today?"
Cui Shanyou sighed and accepted his fate.
"Well, okay! Then I'll talk to Brother Cui in detail."
.............
"Hey, Xiaoxuan, I heard that you made Dr. Cui from the Guozi Academy so angry that he vomited blood today! Haha, tell me, brother."
"Yes, that's right! Sir, please tell me quickly. Many people in Chang'an City are now spreading rumors that a few doctors from the Imperial College actually eat shit. Is it true?"
In the afternoon, Cheng Chumo, who was bored at home, and Li Yu, who came out to "gather for inspiration", came to Li's Mansion to play with Li Zexuan. In fact, they came to listen to Li Zexuan, the person involved, tell about the interesting incident that happened in Bashang in the morning.
With so many people present in the morning, the news that "Dr. Guozijian eats shit" had already been spread from one person to another, but from what others said, it was not as interesting as hearing it from the person involved, Li Zexuan.
"Oh~? Has this matter been spread to everyone?"
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He really didn't know about this.
"Yes! It has been spreading for a long time! As soon as I went to the workshop this morning, I heard someone talking about it!"
Li Yu smiled sweetly.
"Hey, my dad said it must have been Xiaoxuan who did this! Please tell me honestly, how did you do it? Will I, Old Cheng, try it in the future?"
Cheng Chumo narrowed his eyes and smiled evilly.
"Go away! Can you say such nonsense? This matter has nothing to do with me!"
Li Zexuan kicked Cheng Chumo and said.
"Okay, okay! If you say it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter! Just tell us!"
Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
"Okay! Since you want to listen, then I will tell you! By the way, Xiao Yu'er, you have to listen carefully~! With a little processing, this can be used as a good news material!"
Li Zexuan pinched his chin and said thoughtfully.
