There are many traitors in Chang'an City. Basically, the children of powerful families have done some bad things.
Including Li Qinzai, he was also a rebellious son who was famous in Chang'an. In terms of the degree of badness back then, Zhang Daan was probably slightly worse than him.
We are all colleagues in the treacherous world, and have made great achievements in the field of causing trouble. It stands to reason that we should be attracted to each other, and we will feel like old friends at the first sight.
It just so happens that people who work in the same industry are enemies, and villains also dislike each other.
The expression of Zhang Da'an in front of him was cold, and there was a sinister look in his eyes. He didn't know if he was born this way or if he was acquired. This kind of person's true nature was revealed as soon as he looked at his eyes. If he hadn't been named after the hero of Lingyan Pavilion, I don’t know how many beatings I will receive.
"The hero of Lingyan Pavilion?" Li Qinzai curled his lips and smiled.
Who the hell is your ancestor not a hero of Lingyan Pavilion?
My grandfather is the same. Zhang Gongjin Lingyan Pavilion is ranked 18th. My grandfather...
Li Qinzai was stunned, turned to look at Bu Qu beside him, and whispered: "Where does my grandfather rank among the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion?"
Bu Qu's expression was a bit awkward: "...My husband is ranked twenty-third."
Li Qinzai was stunned again. There were a total of twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, and my old man ranked second to last?
With these grades, he is a real scumbag. If he had been in Ganjingzhuang Academy, he would have been whipped many times.
But you can understand it if you think about it.
There is an unspoken criterion for ranking the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, which is whether he has participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
As for Li Ji, he surrendered to Li Yuan halfway. He was a newly surrendered general and acted cautiously. He did not participate in Li Shimin's Xuanwumen rebellion.
Li Qinzai rubbed his face. When arranging backgrounds, he suddenly found that his background ranking was lagging behind. What should he do?
It's very simple, let's put aside rankings.
"It turns out that she is the queen of Tan Guogong," Li Qinzai twitched the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "Brother Zhang stopped my carriage today for no reason. He started provocation. Did I offend you?"
Zhang Daan said coldly: "Mr. Li, you are serious. You allowed your evil servant to maim my coachman and kill my horse. You were ruthless and left no room for mercy. You are worthy of being your Majesty's favorite. You are indeed arrogant."
Li Qinzai was very happy. It turned out that such a thing as knocking someone down with a rake actually existed, and it happened right in front of him.
When a traffic accident occurs, you might as well argue with the person involved to determine who is responsible, but in this case, it was clear that it was intentional, so it would be meaningless to argue. Of course, Li Qinzai was too lazy to waste words.
"We all know the truth. Let's be honest. What are your plans?" Li Qinzai impatiently stretched out his little finger to pick out his ears and said, "I've never had a good temper. I can't bear it any longer. You'd better say a few words." You have to explain the matter, otherwise you will only see blood."
Zhang Daan was furious: "When you see blood, you see blood. Am I afraid of you?"
As he spoke, Zhang Daan stretched his neck like a bastard in the temple's wishing well, and handed his head to Li Qinzai: "Kill me if you dare."
Li Qinzai stared at him for a while, smacked his mouth, and suddenly felt that the taste was not right.
This guy doesn't seem to be provocative today, but rather a bit of a quarrel. What does he want to do?
He stopped his carriage for no reason, and then the coachman whipped Feng Su. After the incident broke out, he didn't come out for a long time, allowing the Li family to kill horses and conflict with his entourage. Now he takes the initiative to stick his head out, and it seems that he is not violent. He won't give up until he's beaten...
Thinking about it together, isn't this a typical case of porcelain?
If you really beat him, what happens next?
Li Qinzai, the Duke of Liaodong County, was arrogant and arrogant about his merits. After beating up the hero of Lingyan Pavilion in the street...
Li Qinzai felt a little confused. For him, beating up people in the street was just a common thing, just the normal behavior of a simple bastard. He had beaten people many times in recent years. Why couldn't he beat people up when he became a county official? Already?
The consequences after doing this are nothing more than being impeached by the imperial censor for a few books, or the bad reputation of the Li family's playboy bastard once again spread in Chang'an City. Does Li Qinzai care about this?
So what is the purpose of Zhang Daan's affair? What effect does he want to achieve?
Looking at Zhang Daan who looked like he was not stingy, Li Qinzai suddenly asked: "You are not the eldest son in the family, right? Did your brother inherit the title of Duke Tan?"
Zhang Daan was stunned. He didn't know why Li Qinzai suddenly talked about this.
Li Qinzai didn't know much about the Zhang family, but he could tell at a glance that there was no way that Zhang Da'an would inherit the title of Duke of Tan. For no other reason than a bastard meeting a bastard, he could tell just from the other person's temperament.
The true heir to the throne can never look like this.
"How are you doing?" Zhang Daan asked without answering.
Li Qinzai smiled: "I won't touch you today, but today this truth must be explained clearly."
"Since you are such a bastard, obviously I can't reason with you. It doesn't matter. I'll reason with your brother."
As he said this, Li Qinzai turned to his subordinates and said: "Put me on the carriage and divert it to Duke Tan's mansion. Give Duke Tan my name card and tell him that Duke Liaodong is paying his respects."
Zhang Daan was taken aback, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Even if he was beaten to death, he never expected that Li Qinzai would deal with this situation in this way.
Aren't we pushing down the tower? Is it too much for you to steal someone's house when you don't agree with me?
Li Qinzai looked calm and said that this was a normal operation.
We are not on the same level. If something happens, I will only talk to your parents. You are not worthy of me trying to reason with you.
Hearing that he was going to the Duke of Tan's Mansion, Zhang Daan finally became anxious.
The tutors in the Duke's Mansion are very strict. Zhang Gongjin is no longer here, and his eldest son has inherited the title. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. His elder brother is also very strict with Zhang Daan. If Li Qinzai comes to visit today, his elder brother may not be spared. Can't reach him.
"Li Qinzai, why bother involving others in your matter and mine? Let's discuss it clearly here!" Zhang Daan said angrily.
Li Qinzai shook his head: "You are not worthy of your level or my status."
After being carried into the carriage by his troops, the coachman whipped his whip and the carriage turned around and drove away.
Zhang Daan stayed where he was, looking down at the coachman whose hands and feet were broken, and the dead horse with blood all over the ground. Zhang Daan's expression changed several times, and he finally gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Let's go, follow Li Qinzai!"
…………
The Duke's Palace of Tan is also on Zhuque Street, not far from the British Palace.
The carriage soon arrived in front of the Duke of Tan's house. At this time, the side door of the Duke's mansion opened, and a middle-aged butler-looking man stood waiting outside the door with a smile. Apparently, Li Qinzai's name card had already been handed over to Tan Guo. The steward of the palace greeted Li Qinzai here.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of the mansion. Li Qinzai was carried out of the carriage and then into a wheelchair. Feng Su pushed the wheelchair into the side door.
After walking around the screen wall and coming to the front yard, a middle-aged man in his forties was standing in the yard. When he saw Li Qinzai arriving, the middle-aged man took the initiative to greet him.
"Haha, it's rare for Duke Li to come to this humble residence. It's really a distinguished guest's visit that makes the plum blossoms shine."
Li Qinzai looked at this man and blinked. The middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile: "I am Zhang Xiangxiang, who holds the title of Duke of Tan and is appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs."
Li Qinzai wanted to laugh, but he unreliably recalled an old ballad from his past life, "Elephant, elephant, why is your trunk so long..."
Li Qinzai sat in a wheelchair and cupped his hands towards Zhang Xiangxiang. In fact, according to seniority, Li Qinzai should call him uncle, but... if it doesn't involve giving gifts and money, usually Li Qinzai's mouth is not so sweet.
