But if there is a reconciliation, it will make Lu Wenrong owe him a favor, and that is enough.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Lu Wenrong immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your forgiveness! I will definitely come to apologize someday."
"Forget it if you come to apologize. You and I hate each other, so we should meet less often in the future." Li Qiao shook his head.
Lu Wenrong: "..."
He could only raise an embarrassed smile, and then looked at the Seventh Prince: "Seventh Prince, this..."
"Master Li doesn't want you to visit, so don't scare his family, but you'd better keep your tail between your legs and don't let me know that you are humiliating and threatening the imperial officials at will. Otherwise, Dali Temple will eventually fall. It’s on you.”
Sheng Ye said with a cold face.
"Yes, yes." Lu Wenrong could only continue to smile and nod, saying that he would abide by the law in the future.
"You have benefited from Li Qiao today, and you will definitely become famous in the capital in the future. When you enjoy the benefits of being famous, don't forget to be grateful to Li Qiao."
Sheng Ye said and waved his hand, telling Lu Wenrong to get out.
When Lu Wenrong heard this, his eyelids twitched, he lowered his head and trotted downstairs.
It’s really embarrassing today!
Enjoy the benefits of being famous?
Pooh!
"Thank you, Seventh Prince." Li Qiao saluted sincerely and thanked him.
As a small sixth-grade official, he was naturally at a disadvantage when facing Lu Wenrong. He could only use words to stimulate Lu Wenrong, so that Lu Wenrong, a white person, would be disrespectful to him, so that he could make sense from a legal perspective.
Now that the seventh prince is here, it saves him trouble.
"It's Lu Wenrong who deceives people too much. Even ordinary people can't stand his words, let alone the prince."
"The British government has been aloof for too long and doesn't know the sufferings of the world."
Sheng Ye said at the end with a sigh on his face.
Now it was Li Qiao's turn to laugh awkwardly. The seventh prince could say this, but he, a sixth-rank petty official, could not.
"You and Xin Zhi should have a meal. The chrysanthemum feast here is famous throughout Shengjing."
After leaving these words behind, Sheng Ye walked towards the stairs with his hands behind his back: "If Lu Wenrong wants to take revenge, you can go to the Criminal Department or the Seventh Prince's Mansion to find me at any time."
Li Qiao was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Seventh Prince!"
Tao Zhu opened his mouth, but when he saw Sheng Ye striding downstairs like a man, he finally said nothing.
He is the younger brother, so he has no right to speak.
Being disturbed by Lu Wenrong, Tao Zhu's thoughts about eating were mostly gone, so he randomly picked a private room and went in.
After sitting down for tea, he stared blankly at the chrysanthemums placed in the box, most of his thoughts still on the Seventh Prince.
And before the waiter brought the food and wine, Xin Zhi started to educate Li Qiao.
"Lu Wenrong is the eldest brother-in-law of the fifth prince, and he has raised a large group of literati. Peng Zhiye is the cousin of the third prince, and he has raised a large group of literati. If the third prince and the fifth prince do not deal with each other, these two will always quarrel with each other."
The third prince is a descendant of the current queen and serves in the Ministry of Personnel.
The fifth prince was born from Concubine Dong Guifei and served in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The two princes looked harmonious on the surface, but in fact they had already begun a secret war for the crown prince's position.
"I originally thought that since you are so capable, these two princes would definitely win over you, but who knew that not only has there been no movement so far, but Lu Wenrong even took the initiative to offend you today."
Xin Zhi was really surprised.
"But don't be afraid. The Seventh Prince just said that he would protect you, and the British government does not dare to do anything to you."
Li Qiao shook his head: "I'm not afraid. I believe in the Holy Spirit and Da Sheng's law."
"That's right, you are now the famous person in front of the Holy Emperor." Xin Zhi said with a smile.
"I'm not a famous person. Since I entered the Hanlin Academy, I haven't seen the Emperor even once."
When attending the Great Court Meeting, he had been standing in the square in front of Tai Chi Hall and had never seen Sheng Hong at all.
"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty, first make a good study of the history of the previous dynasties. With your talents, you will definitely not be buried." Xin Zhi patted him on the shoulder.
Li Qiao smiled when he heard this: "Yes, you must be worthy of the monthly salary."
The only one he can rely on is Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong used his own money to support officials, but obviously Sheng Hong's money was not enough now, otherwise he would not have asked the emperor for money-making methods regardless of his face.
He made a lot of money for Sheng Hong, and he was worthy of the salary given by Sheng Hong as an official. Sheng Hong should be on his side, right?
However, opposite is the British Government Palace.
Not only did he make military exploits, but he also made contributions to saving lives.
Today he and Lu Wenrong had a conflict. How would Sheng Hong react...

The author has something to say:
Chapter 117 The book editor is actually on his side, right?
The chrysanthemum feast in Juyuan was indeed a masterpiece. Even though Lu Wenrong disturbed their interest, when the dishes were served, Tao Zhu and Li Dashan couldn't help but feel full.
Li Qiao was also full of praise and bought some chrysanthemum tea and two small jars of chrysanthemum wine before leaving.
This chrysanthemum wine was made from glutinous rice. It had a low alcohol content and was slightly sweet. It also had the effect of strengthening the brain and improving eyesight. Even if he didn't like drinking, he couldn't help but spend money to buy two bottles.
After entering the city, the ox cart separated from Xin Zhi's carriage. Li Qiao turned around and asked Tao Zhu beside him: "Next time we take a break, how about we go there again?"
"Are you still going?" Li Dashan, who was sitting on the carriage shaft, opened his eyes wide: "Uncle, there are too many dandies in this capital!"
Li Qiao was amused by the word dandy: "Then we have to go out."
"Yes, we can't stay away from home all our lives. Juyuan is very nice. Next time we take a bath, let's take Brother Qian, Ershan and Brother Xia with us to play again." Tao Zhu said.
Moreover, the consumption is not very expensive. If the whole family goes there, as long as they don’t buy chrysanthemum wine and chrysanthemum tea, they can have a good time with only a few dozen taels of silver.
"Uncle Zhu, aren't you afraid? I was so scared today that I shrank my neck!" Li Dashan felt a little embarrassed after hearing Tao Zhu's words. Was he too timid...
"It's useless to be afraid. He's openly scolding us. Do we have to endure it? We didn't provoke him. Your brother-in-law is also an official! Why should you be angry?"
"He is a dandy who has accomplished nothing. He only relies on his grandfather's achievements to dominate. In terms of true talent and learning, your brother-in-law can crush him with one finger."
"Even if he only talks about force regardless of his true talent or knowledge, I, as a little brother, can beat him into a pig's head."
Tao Zhu said and grabbed Li Qiao's hand, he was not afraid.
Anyway, Li Qiao couldn't bear the anger of such a dandy.
The worst possible outcome is death, but before death, he must drag Lu Wenrong with him.
Li Qiao saw Tao Zhu's angry look in his eyes and felt warm in his heart. He smiled and praised, "Brother Zhu is the most powerful."
Li Dashan, who was originally a little afraid, heard the words, and the anger in his heart was aroused. He couldn't help clenching his fists: "That's right, why should I be angry with that dude? I finally won the first prize and came to the capital." , not just to be angry with that dude, we will take care of whatever happens!"
"The mountains are also powerful." Li Qiao also praised with a smile: "Anyway, we should do whatever we should do. However, in order to prevent them from coming, you should not go out casually these two days."
"Let's find Yapa and buy a few strong nursing homes. From now on, you can always take someone with you when you go out."
"You want to buy a nursing home?" Tao Zhu was surprised.
"There is no place to live even after buying it." Li Dashan also said.
"Buy a small yard near our house and let the nurse live in it. You have to take someone with you when you go out, otherwise I won't worry."
Li Qiao was very insistent.
"Okay." Tao Zhu nodded.
Don't let Li Qiao get distracted.
When they got home, Xu Ying and Chen Hua had returned. Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to find Xu Ying and wanted to know if Mr. Zhang had made things difficult for him.
By the way, Xu Yingtong should also be ventilated. Now that he has offended the British government, Xu Ying must have an idea.
Although Xu Ying and Shen Hua's house has three entrances, it is relatively small. The house is of a normal layout, so the yard is very narrow. When Li Qiao and Tao Zhu arrived, Xu Ying and Shen Hua were sitting in the yard having dinner.
The couple came back early. Master Zhang's goal was Li Qiao, who wanted to play with Xin Zhi. Master Zhang lost his goal and was not interested in playing. They came back after lunch.
I didn't have a good lunch, so dinner was a bit early.
Besides, after autumn, it gets dark earlier and the sun is almost setting now.
Xu Yingchenhua invited Li Qiao and Tao Zhu to sit down and eat together. Li Qiao waved his hand, and after sitting down with Tao Zhu, he briefly explained today's conflict.
Xu Yingchen Hua didn't expect that such a thing would happen while appreciating chrysanthemums today. After listening to Li Qiao's words, the couple frowned tightly.
But luckily the seventh prince is here.
"Okay, okay, the seventh prince has spoken. If the British government insists on retaliating, it will be a slap in the face of the seventh prince."
Xu Ying patted her heart and felt a little lucky.
"Well, we're not too worried, but you are so close to me. Please be more careful when doing things in the household department in the future, so as not to get involved by me."
Li Qiao warned him.
"I'm just a small seventh-grade official. No matter what happens, it won't be blamed on me. Don't worry." Xu Ying had a good attitude.
"Our official position is low, and if the British government casually suppresses us, we may not be able to get promoted."
Li Qiao is really worried about this matter.
Fortunately for him, he was the top scholar and was still in the Hanlin Academy.
But Xu Ying was in the Banking Department, a remote department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Sheng Hong could not be seen in this department, and she could not make great contributions. Even if the British government did not suppress her, it would be difficult for Xu Ying to be promoted.
Now that he has offended Lu Wenrong, if the British government wants to suppress Xu Ying, a little seventh-rank official, it is really just a matter of talking.
"Also, if you don't give Mr. Zhang face today, will he find trouble with you in the future?"
"I'm not afraid of finding faults. I won't be promoted if I don't get promoted. I'm pretty good now."
