When Li Youdao returned to his mansion, he was in a very embarrassed state.
He was limping and stopped after taking a few steps, showing a look of pain. He was only wearing undershirt, and the white undershirt was dirty for some reason. He looked like a man who had been driven around. beggar.
The Li Mansion was already in chaos, and Li Youdao had been lost. The housekeeper of the Li Mansion was standing outside the door, scolding his servants fiercely. Torches were lit everywhere in the mansion, and the sounds of scoldings, barking, and dog barking could not be heard.
Seeing Li Youdao walking towards the door in embarrassment alone, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then turned pale with fright, and hurriedly came up to meet him.
"Why is Mr. Lang like this? Who dares to bring harm to Mr. Lang?"
Li Youdao's face was gloomy, but he said nothing. He glanced at the housekeeper coldly, and the housekeeper did not dare to ask any more questions.
The problem of the housekeeper is definitely the biggest taboo in his life. He can only keep it buried in his heart forever and cannot mention it to anyone.
Why did Wu Minzhi put him back safe and sound?
If he doesn't satisfy him, can Li Youdao come back intact?
Of course, he was forced to sign the confession and was tortured by Wu Minzhi.
If you ask him what he has been through, all he can say is...fortunately his chastity is still there.
If you want to ask what Wu Minzhi did to him, you can only say...he is not a human being! It's a beast!
Tonight's experience must be rotten in Li Youdao's stomach.
Stepping through the door with a gloomy face, Li Youdao saw many people in the mansion. Countless servants were holding torches and shouting, searching everywhere. Li Youdao couldn't help but feel nervous, and said in a deep voice: "What happened in the mansion?"
The housekeeper didn't dare to talk nonsense and just led him to the front yard.
In the middle of the front yard, there were more than a dozen corpses lying neatly. The faces of the corpses were covered with a piece of white cloth. Li Youdao uncovered the white cloth on one of the corpses, and a familiar face came into view. It was the story of his family. one.
The housekeeper whispered next to him: "They are all members of our family. The incident happened at night. The members of the group paid their errands and gathered in the northeast corner of the house to play money. I don't know when they were sneaked into the house, and there was no sound. Xi killed them."
Li Youdao asked coldly: "Didn't you catch the assassin?"
The housekeeper looked guilty and said: "When the bodies were found, their blood had been shed all over the floor, and the assassins had long since disappeared."
Li Youdao gritted his teeth: "Trash! You haven't even touched the other party's shadow. What's the use of searching for someone now with a torch? Are you beating gongs and drums to let Quan Chang'an know that my house is embarrassing?"
The housekeeper was startled and hurriedly ordered the searching troops and servants to withdraw.
Li Youdao stared at the corpses in front of him, not bothering to count, and asked coldly: "How many people did the assassin kill?"
"Thirteen people."
Li Youdao's breathing became heavier and heavier, and a violent anger filled his chest.
It no longer mattered who the assassin was, he knew who was behind it.
Yesterday, he sent people to kill horses at the entrance of Ganjingzhuang Village, and there happened to be thirteen horses. Li Qinzai came back with revenge.
The difference is that Li Youdao killed horses, while Li Qinzai killed people directly in his house.
Coupled with the revenge of being plotted and humiliated by Wu Minzhi tonight, Li Youdao's emotions are on the verge of collapse.
The housekeeper asked eagerly: "Mr. Lang, do we want to report to the official position?"
Li Youdao glared at him angrily: "What kind of official should I report to? I am the official, the young minister of Dali Temple who specializes in punishment. What's the use of reporting to the official? Do you have the evidence? Who made the move first? Once the official is reported, the whole Zhao Dynasty will be affected." The entire Li family will be involved!"
"Send people back to the Li family's ancestral home quickly and tell the head of the family to ask the ancestors to send people to Chang'an to help me. This hatred is irreconcilable!" Li Youdao finally roared violently.
…………
Li Qinzai led his troops to leave Ganjingzhuang and rush to Chang'an.
It was not his intention to leave this time. He originally planned to accompany Cui Jie at home to give birth, but with a call from Li Ji, Li Qinzai had to hit the road.
A group of people rushed to Chang'an City on horseback. They dismounted outside the city and led the horses slowly into the city.
Turning from Yanpingmen to Zhuque Street, the way ahead was blocked by a huge crowd.
Li Qinzai looked around and saw a sea of people on Zhuque Street, many of them young people, and more of them just ordinary people watching the excitement.
Li Qinzai was not in the mood to watch the excitement, and was about to tell his troops to change the route when he suddenly heard an excited shout from the crowd.
"How can a young man with a yellow mouth be the chief examiner when selecting scholars for the imperial examination? How can he be so virtuous and occupy such a prominent position when he is so weak and holds the power of life and death for thousands of candidates? We, the imperial supervisors, are dissatisfied!"
Countless young people echoed, raised their fists and cheered.
Li Qinzai stopped and his expression became cold.
He could tell that this sentence was directed at him. In other words, the group of young people making trouble on Zhuque Street had gathered to protest against Li Zhi's appointment of him as the chief examiner of the calculation department.
Observing the clothing of these young people carefully, it turns out that most of them are in shabby clothes. They are obviously from poor families. I don't know who has been deceived by them, but they gathered together to cause trouble.
For a moment, Li Qinzai suddenly felt chilled. Not only was everything he did for them not understood, but he was scolded and boycotted.
So, what is the meaning of what I have been doing these days?
Liu Asi next to him also sensed something was wrong. He raised his thick eyebrows and took two steps forward to scold him, but was stopped by Li Qinzai.

"Fifth Young Master, how can you condone such slander and contempt?" Liu Asi said dissatisfied.
Li Qinzai smiled faintly: "What should I do? Let these people line up and I'll slap them all with the soles of my shoes? Or should the reporting officer arrest them all?"
Liu Asi gritted his teeth and said: "Others don't know it, but the villain can see it clearly. In order to stand out for these poor people, the Fifth Young Master not only threatened himself and his family, was slandered and scolded by the court, but was also spread rumors and slander, and was splashed all over his body. Dirty water, Fifth Young Master, what are we planning?"
Li Qinzai was silent for a long time and said slowly: "I am not doing it all for the children of poor families. What is important is that the scientific examination system must be implemented, fair and just, and start from oneself. Only children from poor families for thousands of years will have a chance to get ahead, and the country will not be ruined." Buried talent.”
"What do the current disputes and misunderstandings mean in the thousands of years of history? It is not even a wave."
Liu Asi didn't seem to understand, so he had to say: "Fifth Young Master, should we change the route?"
Li Qinzai was about to agree, but a voice suddenly came from the rioting crowd: "He is Li Qinzai, the Marquis of Weinan County!"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
Of course, what was even more embarrassing were the Imperial College students. They all knew what they were doing just now. Those slogans were still echoing on Zhuque Street. At this moment, the master appeared, but for some reason no one dared to say anything.
Since it had been discovered, there was no need to change the route. Li Qinzai was too lazy to take a detour, so he smiled politely at the supervisors and said, "Excuse me, please give way..."
The supervisors silently made way for a spacious and deserted avenue on Zhuque Street. The soldiers led their horses through the crowd, and Li Qinzai smiled and nodded to the supervisors frequently.
The prison guards lowered their heads with some guilt, avoided Li Qinzai's gaze, and took a few steps back unconsciously.
Passing through the crowd easily, Li Qinzai's eyes suddenly opened up.
Seeing that there was silence and no movement behind him, Li Qinzai turned around curiously and encouraged: "Go on, don't delay the meal. After finishing the work, go back to the Imperial College for dinner."
The supervisors nodded numbly.
Someone in the crowd shouted again: "The country is unfair. How can people with no talent or virtue steal the position of examiner and control the future of thousands of my candidates? It's unfair, it's unfair!"
"unfair!"
"unfair!"
Someone took the lead, and all the supervisors suddenly became enthusiastic again, and they all raised their arms and echoed. The atmosphere that had been destroyed by Li Qinzai instantly returned to its original state. The scene was full of excitement and excitement, which made people excited.
Li Qinzai glanced at it, turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed freely.
The laughter is so fierce that it can be heard in the sky.
