The two carriages arrived at the door of Tang Yanju. Aunt Li got off the car and looked up. Her heart felt cold. The plaque on the Duke's Palace had disappeared and was replaced by the name of Tang Yanju in the old days.
Just as he was about to go forward to find someone, he saw Tang Tianli standing at the door with an angry look on his face, glaring at Aunt Li with both hands. He pulled out the Ziwu Yuanyang Yue with both hands. The silver blade shone with a cold light, just like the anger in Tang Tianli's eyes. Aunt Li couldn't help but I had a cold war, feeling as if Tang Tianli was going to kill me at any time!
"Is there anything wrong with you coming here?" Tang Tianli asked through gritted teeth.
Aunt Li has also seen the world and smiled slightly, "Please see your fourth wife. I heard that she will get married in three days. I will give you a congratulatory gift!"
"Wait a minute!" Tang Tianli said with his eyes widened.
Zhao Xuanyi was drinking tea in the front hall. After Zhu Yuejun's guidance, Zhao Xuanyi had now looked away. Tang Rou was sitting aside, looking at the items she was preparing for her wedding. There was still a lot missing!
Of course, Li Hanyan, Zi Yuan and Du Xinyu are not interested in helping with these matters. Zhao Xuanyi is basically a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't care about anything! So only Tang Rou can take care of it!
After what happened last time, Zhao Xuanyi also demoted Tang Tianli and Sun Yan. He had already been demoted. He couldn't let these two bastards feel comfortable. One hundred and one thousand households were demoted to After getting the big soldiers, one was thrown to the military camp for training, and the other stayed at home to guard the house!
Shen Wei walked in from outside, "Young Master, Fourth Madam! Aunt Li is here. She is at the door of the house. She said she is here to give the Fourth Madam a wedding gift!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, his eyes immediately showed murderous intent, "How dare she come? Dig a hole in the backyard and bury her alive. Her life is my best wedding gift!"
Tang Rou covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't hit the smiling person. She dares to come here. She must have her own reasons. Brother Shen, please invite her in first! Let's talk about it later!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei turned around and left!
After a cup of tea, Shen Wei, Tang Tianli and Aunt Li walked in. Behind Aunt Li were ten Qilin Guards carrying five boxes. After entering the hall, they placed them on the ground and the Qilin Guards left!
Zhao Xuanyi tilted his head and looked at this woman, thinking, is this Aunt Li? I have been to Baihualou before, but I didn't pay much attention to her. "Are you Aunt Li?"
Aunt Li immediately smiled and said, "Greetings to General Zhao!"
"Excuse me! Without you, I would be the Protector of the Country now!" Zhao Xuanyi cursed directly, showing no signs of indifference!
Aunt Li didn't dare to get angry, and her face was full of embarrassing smiles: "General Zhao, please don't embarrass me. You are all big shots. I can't afford to offend anyone. I can only promise him if he comes, and I promise you if you come." , I really don’t want to do anything to be sorry for you, I just want to live!”
"Aren't you alive now? I heard that your Baihualou business has been good recently! You must be very happy!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a sneer, then picked up the tea cup and drank the tea slowly.
"General Zhao, I am here to admit my mistake today! I know that no matter how I admit my mistake, you will never forgive me, but we are talking about business! Miss Tang, I brought a total of 50,000 taels of silver to you as a gift today. I hope General Zhao can allow my Baihualou business to continue as usual!"
"Your gift is quite large, I dare not accept it!" Tang Rou said with a smile.
"Miss Tang, you don't need to order me. I know what you are thinking now, so I came here today to risk my request. If I tell General Zhao who is responsible for this matter, can you let your people drive mine?" Brothel?" Aunt Li said with a smile.
"Hmph! You think I can't find out?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a sneer.
"If you could find out, you wouldn't be able to sit here so calmly now. I can guarantee that without me providing the name, you might not be able to find out who is behind this incident!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he couldn't help but frown. This woman was really right about this! Even Yue Wei didn't find out who was behind this incident, otherwise Zhu Yuejun would definitely tell him, but this woman actually knew about it, which made Zhao Xuanyi a little difficult to make a decision!
Tang Rou also saw something was wrong in Zhao Xuanyi's eyes, and immediately asked, "Why should we believe you? If you just name a person, do we have to believe it?"
"I have letters here, as well as the 10,000 taels of silver notes that person asked me to do something for. I brought them all today!" After finishing speaking, Aunt Li took out the letters and a pack of silver notes from her arms. "If Zhao If the general is willing to let go of my Baihualou, I will give these things to you immediately!"
"Of course, you don't have to doubt the authenticity. If I give you a fake one, you can settle the score later. I'm not that bold to deceive you with such a thing!"
After Zhao Xuanyi thought about it again and again, he felt a little moved. Zhao Xuanyi really couldn't guess who it was. There were two people in his mind, one was his nemesis Liang Yun, and the other was the man in black! But I have no evidence or clues!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the letter in the woman's hand. After much hesitation, he breathed out, "Give me the thing!"
Shen Wei came to the woman, took everything over, and put it directly in Zhao Xuanyi's hands. Zhao Xuanyi didn't care about the banknote, but took the letter directly. The moment he opened it and saw the letter, Zhao Xuanyi looked in disbelief!
Shen Wei was standing aside. He only glanced at it and was stunned with fright: "Young Master, this...?"
Zhao Xuanyi raised his hand to signal Shen Wei not to speak, but Shen Wei immediately shut his mouth!
Aunt Li saw Zhao Xuanyi's surprised look without any surprise, "I wonder if General Zhao can evacuate all your people?"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei and said, "Let all brothers return to the military camp!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei nodded and said!
"Thank you, General Zhao!" After finishing speaking, Aunt Li let out a long breath! Then he turned around and left very wisely!
Tang Rou saw the puzzled expression on Zhao Xuanyi's face and was not very clear. "What's wrong? Who wrote that letter?" Tang Rou asked.
Zhao Xuanyi shook his head, slowly folded the letter, and put it in his arms, "Don't worry about this, I'll go out for a while!"
"Hey?" Why did Tang Rou feel that something was wrong with Zhao Xuanyi's expression?
Shen Wei drove directly to Zhao Mingqing's house. After Zhao Xuanyi got out of the carriage, he came to the door and patted it gently. After Coyotito opened the door, he saw that Zhao Xuanyi was back, but the smile of the past was gone on his face. "Young Master, Are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Zhao Xuanyi said simply and walked into the house!
After arriving in the hall, he saw his father drinking tea. Zhao Mingqing saw Zhao Xuanyi coming and smiled slightly, "Here he comes!"
"Here we come!" Zhao Xuanyi sat down.
"Drink some water!" Zhao Mingqing poured a cup of tea for his son!
When Zhao Xuanyi took it over and took a look, he couldn't help frowning. He really drank water. It was boiled white water and there was no tea at all!
"What? I'm used to drinking your Longjing Maojian, but I'm not used to drinking the well water at home?" Zhao Mingqing asked with a smile.
"No!" Zhao Xuanyi drank the water in one gulp and put the teacup on the table!
"Remember, even if it costs tens of millions of taels of gold to buy one tael of tea, you still need this free water! Even if it's a plate of a hundred taels of silver, you still need these dozens of taels of salt per catty! " Zhao Mingqing said.
"Yes, my father taught me right!"
"How are you these days?" Zhao Mingqing asked softly.
"It's okay!"
"Yeah! I heard that you are going to marry Tang Rou in three days?"
"Yes! I'll invite my parents to have a wedding drink then!"
"Of course I want to go! But you're not here today to deliver a message to me and ask me to have a wedding banquet, right?"
"My son encountered something and didn't know how to deal with it. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to come to his father!"
Zhao Mingqing nodded lightly, "Speak!"
Zhao Xuanyi put the letter in his hand on the table, "Father, let him read it himself!"
Zhao Mingqing didn't know what the envelope was. He slowly picked it up, opened it and took a closer look. He couldn't help but be surprised. However, the surprise in his eyes was fleeting, and then he smiled slightly, "That's it!"
I see? "Father, from the moment the Duke was fucked to the end, you just ignored me with just four words?"
"Otherwise, what do you want?" Zhao Mingqing asked.
"Me?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at his smiling father and was speechless for a moment!
"I know that you sat on the position of Duke at a young age, and naturally you have a great future in your heart! But now that you have been framed and framed, you have turned back into the most ordinary general. This can only prove one point!"
"What?"
"Your ability is not enough, your experience is not enough, you are not qualified for the position of Duke!" Zhao Mingqing said slowly.
Just as Zhao Xuanyi was about to refute, Zhao Mingqing continued, "You don't have to refute! My father recognizes your ability to lead troops in war, and he also believes that you are very smart, but you don't know how to be an official or the art of balancing between the government and the opposition at all!" I don’t understand the twists and turns here!”
Zhao Xuanyi listened quietly on the side without saying a word. Maybe his father was right, and he really didn't understand the way of being an official! I don’t even understand the darkness in officialdom!
"Although this incident is a painful lesson, it is also a wake-up call in your life! It is telling you that ordinary people are not guilty, but they are guilty of carrying a treasure. You don't know how to weigh it, so don't step into the government and the public! As for the This letter...?" Zhao Mingqing looked at the letter paper carefully!
Then he smiled slightly, "He is still your eldest brother no matter what. You are the same mother. You have grown up and lived together for so many years. You are not brothers who are not related by blood!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, thinking that his father still paid attention to blood relationship, there was nothing he could do about it, after all, it was in ancient times!
"So... be gentle!"
"..." Zhao Xuanyi raised his head and looked at Zhao Mingqing.
Zhao Mingqing's face was full of anger, "Although I also guessed that the prince did this, I never thought that your eldest brother would ignore the fraternal relationship and attack you! Who the hell gave birth to this bastard? "Zhao Mingqing yelled!
"Ahem!" Shen Wei came over, "Master, you gave birth to me!"
"roll!"
"Okay!" Shen Wei stepped aside!
"Don't beat him to death, save your breath!" Zhao Mingqing said through gritted teeth.
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled!
At this time, Zhao Xuanli is playing with the birds in his cage at home. Zhao Xuanli doesn't like flowers or potted plants, he only likes all kinds of birds. There are no less than twenty birdcages in the yard, and each cage has something different inside. little bird!
Cuckoos, magpies, larks, sparrows, orioles, cardinals...etc., listening to the songs of these birds every day, it seems that your soul can gain freedom beyond the world!
Holding millet in his left hand and straw in his right hand, he teased the bird and whistled, as if he could talk to the bird in this language! Looking at the colorful little creatures, Zhao Xuanli was very happy!
There was a loud noise, and the door of the courtyard was knocked open. Then two people flew into the courtyard and fell heavily to the ground. Zhao Xuanli was frightened, and the little creatures in more than twenty birdcages were also frightened. Chirps were flying around inside the cage!
Zhao Xuanli was about to start a fight when he saw Zhao Xuanyi and a group of Qilin Guards coming in from the gate with great momentum. Zhao Xuanli felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, and the expression on his face was forgotten!
"Hey, brother, are you playing with birds?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a sneer?
"Hey, brother, why are you so idle today?" Zhao Xuanli greeted in a somewhat unknown way!
Zhao Xuanyi saw more than 20 birdcages in the yard, as well as various strange birds inside. He could see that these birds were carefully cultivated. "Speaking of which, this is my first time coming to my eldest brother's mansion." , there are so many beautiful birds!”
"Yes, um... stop standing, go into the hall and sit down. Someone, come and make tea for my brother!"
"No need!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted angrily, turning to glare at Zhao Xuanli coldly, "Brother, do you know why I came today?"
"You haven't said it yet!"
Zhao Xuanyi pulled out the Tang Hengdao from his waist, and with a slash, the birdcage containing the sparrows in front of him was split open instantly. The sparrow inside was trampled to death by Zhao Xuanyi before he could react!
After Zhao Xuanli saw it, his eyes widened, and the anger in his eyes could not be suppressed. "Brother, what are you doing? They are innocent!"
Zhao Xuanyi didn't seem to hear Zhao Xuanli's nonsense. He reached out and took down a cage containing a cardinal and placed it on the ground. "Brother doesn't seem to have guessed what I'm here to do!"
"No, no, no...!" Zhao Xuanli was about to tell Zhao Xuanyi to stop, but it was too late. Zhao Xuanyi smashed the cage into pieces with a knife, and trampled the little bird with red feathers to death!
Zhao Xuanli looked regretful. If he hadn't been unable to do martial arts, he would have fought Zhao Xuanyi to the death!
"Brother, have you remembered?" Zhao Xuanyi took down the cage containing a white bird and placed it on the ground!
"That's very rare...?" After a scream of a bird, the third innocent creature also died!
"Wow... you actually have a foreign macaw here. Look at the blue feathers. It's so beautiful! I can't bear to kill it. Brother Shen, should you roast it or stew it in soup?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smile. .
Seeing Zhao Xuanyi slowly taking down the cage, Zhao Xuanli's spirit had collapsed. "Okay! Okay! I'm trying to persuade you to put it down for me!"
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Zhao Xuanli, "Brother, have you remembered?"
"Yes, I remembered!" Zhao Xuanli rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, it's useless for you to look for me. This matter was all instructed by the prince. I am also a working person. If I don't do it, others will have the same result!"
"It's different, you are my brother!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted!
