Having passed the age of being brave and reckless, and having lived two lifetimes, Li Qinzai always felt a little uncomfortable every time he encountered a head-on conflict.
However, the fights that deserve to be fought still have to be fought, and the people that deserve to be beaten still have to be beaten.
If you can't persuade a damn ghost with good words, then use your fists to teach him how to behave.
The wall of the pavilion fell down, and Li Qinzai and three others slowly walked out of the dust, making a shining appearance.
Wu Yuanshuang's eyes were straight, and he stared blankly at his former enemy appearing in front of him. He was holding a wine cup in his hand, as if he had been restrained, and his movements were frozen for a long time.
"It's so lively," Li Qinzai smiled and said, "I was listening to everyone chatting nearby, and the voices sounded a bit familiar, so I planned to pay a visit and came over to take a look. Ha, it turned out to be an acquaintance, Mr. Wu. We haven't seen him for a long time."
Wu Yuanshuang is a young eunuch of the Shaofu, and his official position has not changed in the past two years.
He was said to be the queen's brother, but Empress Wu actually didn't like him very much. When Empress Wu was in decline, her brothers from her mother's family often bullied their orphans and widowed mothers.
Wu Yuanshuang looked at the knocked-down pavilion wall, his face flushed red either from drinking too much or from anger.
You call this a "visit"?
"Li Qinzai!" Wu Yuanshuang gritted his teeth and glared.
"Here he is." Li Qinzai said with a smile.
Dandan glanced around and saw that besides Wu Yuanshuang, there were several young men in the pavilion, most of whom he didn't recognize.
Xue Na was obviously more familiar with Li Qinzai, and whispered next to him: "The one in the moon white shirt is the son of the uncle of Ye County, the one in the purple shirt is the son of Wei Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and the one without any clothes is... huh? Your mother's maid Yes, there is actually a man without clothes, immoral and morally corrupt!"
Li Qinzai glanced at him: "I entered a brothel without any clothes. Is there anything wrong with me?"
Of course there's nothing wrong with it, I just came here without clothes, otherwise? Discuss quantum mechanics?
Shi Shiran walked up to Wu Yuanshuang, and Li Qinzai bent down slightly, looking down at him with murderous intent in his eyes.
"I just heard you criticizing me and my wife behind our backs, Mr. Wu, could you please say it again in person? My wife is stunningly beautiful, what are you going to do?"
Wu Yuanshuang's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
They often talk behind their backs, but this time the real owner caught them, which is not only embarrassing, but also dangerous.
Li Qinzai's temper was well-known in Chang'an at that time, and he was well-known for his violent temper. Wu Yuanshuang was lucky enough to be beaten by him.
Seeing the fierce look in Li Qinzai's eyes at this moment, Wu Yuanshuang couldn't help but feel timid despite the hatred in his heart, because Li Qinzai's eyes were so scary.
"Li, Marquis of Li County, you'd better calm down. You can't protect yourself anymore. Don't cause trouble again, otherwise you'll be doomed."
With everyone present, Wu Yuanshuang couldn't let go of his dignity. No matter how scary Li Qinzai's eyes were, he still had to be brave enough to say a few words in the scene, otherwise he would not be able to hold his head high in the future.
A burst of chaotic footsteps came from the attic, and more than a dozen Li family members appeared behind Li Qinzai. Liu Asi went upstairs and saw the tense scene in front of him. He immediately understood something, so he waved his hand, and the members entered the cabinet and brought them in. In the pavilion, Wu Yuanshuang and several others were surrounded.
Seeing that Li Qinzai actually mobilized his troops, Wu Yuanshuang and others became more and more frightened.
A young man in a purple shirt stood up and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything. Something happened at home suddenly. I..."
Before he finished speaking, Xue Ne raised his finger and pointed at him: "Sit down!"
The man sat down obediently, and no one dared to move.
Li Qinzai still had a smile on his face, stared at Wu Yuanshuang and said: "Repeat what you just said, say it in front of me, no matter how ugly it is, I still respect you as a man."
Of course Wu Yuanshuang didn't dare to say it. He knew very well how unpleasant those words were just now. He could just talk about others behind their backs. If he said it again in front of the real owner, no matter how noble his status was, he would probably never see tomorrow. The sun is up.
"Marquis Li Xian, you must not be strict in your conduct. Wu is a relative today. If you take action today, think about the consequences..." Wu Yuanshuang said with a serious expression.
Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound, and a red fingerprint suddenly appeared on Wu Yuanshuang's cheek. Li Qinzai slowly retracted his hand, still with a warm smile on his face.
"You still dare to threaten me? Mr. Wu, since you are a relative, do I dare not touch you? Try it."
After speaking, Li Qinzai took action again and slapped him on the other cheek. Wu Yuanshuang immediately had red fingerprints on both cheeks. They were symmetrical and very friendly to patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Li Qinzai, you are going too far!" Wu Yuanshuang was furious. Just as he was about to stand up, he felt a sharp pain in the crook of his knee.
Xue Ne, who was standing aside, kicked Wu Yuanshuang hard back onto the futon.
Snapped!
Li Qinzai slapped Wu Yuanshuang on the face again.
Shaking his palm, Li Qinzai smiled at Liu Asi: "My hand hurts from being beaten. Go ahead and teach him how to behave."
Liu Asi stepped forward without hesitation, first kicked Wu Yuanshuang down, and then the soldiers swarmed forward, raining fists and kicks on Wu Yuanshuang's head and body like a storm.
Wu Yuanshuang covered his head with his hands, curled up on the ground, and let out a shrill scream.
Several young men nearby looked frightened and hid in the corner, hugging each other for warmth and shivering.
Of course, Xue Ne and Gao Qi were among the people who attacked Wu Yuanshuang. Especially Xue Ne was beaten the most happily.
After an unknown amount of time, when Wu Yuanshuang's moans became weak, Li Qinzai coughed twice and everyone stopped.
Looking at the dying Wu Yuanshuang on the ground, Li Qinzai squatted in front of him, showing a contemptuous sneer.
"Wu Yuanshuang, are you worthy of talking about me behind my back?"
"No matter how miserable I am, I, Li Qinzai, am still an upright pillar of the country. I live and die for the country, and pray for the safety of the people. Even if the sacred scrolls are lost from now on, I am still a hero of the Tang Dynasty worthy of heaven and earth. Who do you think you are? How dare you go behind your back?" Are you clamoring for revenge on me?"
"Without talent or ability, you will just be a relative for the rest of your life. A relative should have the consciousness of a relative. Don't you know how much you weigh? Even if some people are in trouble, you can't afford to offend them!"
After speaking, Li Qinzai stood up, straightened his somewhat messy clothes, and stared at Wu Yuanshuang, who was curled up on the ground, with a look of contempt flashing in his eyes again.
"I really dirty my hands by beating you. I shouldn't have done it myself just now..." Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Wu Yuanshuang, I live in Ganjing Village, Weinan County. After the emperor has despised me, you are welcome to come to Ganjing." Zhuang Xunqiu, I will accompany you all the time."
Glancing coldly at the trembling men, Li Qinzai, Xue Nagaoqi and others turned and walked out of the brothel.
The night breeze was slightly cool. Li Qinzai stood in front of the carriage outside the brothel and sighed deeply.
Chang'an is a prosperous city, but there are also entanglements that cannot be avoided.
I'm so fed up, it's better to go back.
