"Xiao Qinyan..." Zhao Pan'er murmured, remembering the name.
Li Yong added: "This is what I want to tell you alone, because it is not suitable to be recorded here. This Xiao Qinyan is a close official of the official family..."
After all, this is the world of "Menghualu", not history, so the characters and events cannot be completely consistent.
What's more, even in history, there are many doubts caused by deficiencies and contradictions, such as when and how the Empress Dowager Liu who later came to the dynasty entered Zhao Heng's house.
According to Song historical records, she entered Zhao Heng's mansion at the age of fifteen. Zhao Heng was not the crown prince at that time, but it is also said that she entered the prince's mansion when Zhao Heng became the crown prince and served as the governor of Kaifeng, including Song Dynasty. Taizong's attitude towards this and Zhao Heng's placement of her were also very different.
Therefore, although Li Yong searched a lot of historical materials before coming here, except for those historical events, power structure, character relationships, etc. that should not have changed much in fact, he would not blindly believe in the records in the history books.
After all, this is a new world created by itself after the chaos, and if Xiao Qinyan had to find a historical prototype, he might be called the "Five Ghosts of the Northern Song Dynasty" One of them is Wang Qinruo.
Of course, the theory of the five ghosts may be based on speculation, and whether Wang Qinruo is a loyal or treacherous minister cannot be generalized.
Just like Xiao Qinyan, although he is the leader of Zhuoliu in the court in the play, he is an indispensable right-hand man to the emperor. For Zhao Paner, because of the revenge of killing his father, he is more or less carrying a A bit of a villain.
Zhao Pan'er's heart suddenly tightened when she heard this. She turned to look at Li Yong, her slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said worriedly: "Young Master is asking about this matter, will he discover it?"
She was ignored while playing today. She was in a bad mood, so she couldn't sleep at night and came out to look at the moon.
As she looked at it, she missed her family again and didn't know how they were doing in reincarnation now. In an instant, Li Yong came over and told her the news about her enemy. It turned out that he had kept her things in mind for a long time. Doing it silently couldn't help but move her.
Although family feud is very important, she does not want Li Yong to be implicated in it.
After all, it's none of his business.
Li Yong smiled and said: "You are worrying too much. Not to mention that I was just making insidious inquiries about this matter. So what if I let him know? Then Xiao Qinyan is just a magistrate of Suzhou now, and he is not as bad as you think. Easy to deal with.”
At that time, the imperial edict in his hand was a talisman. Before Zhao Heng met him and made a conclusion, no one outside would rashly decide on his attitude towards him at this time.
With the size of Xiao Qinyan's city, it was even more impossible for him to act rashly at this time.
After all, what if Li Yong and the others find out the truth of the matter now? He is not the only one involved in this matter. It was the emperor who ordered the house to be confiscated in the first place.
What's more, although Xin Yan is not very courageous, he is still reliable when it comes to getting things done, and he has learned a lot from Li Yong. Otherwise, how could Li Yong let a real waste follow him all the time.
And the reason why Xiao Qinyan was able to kill Zhao Paner's father was because he happened to get his fault and had been watching him all the time. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to take action?
After all, this matter is not considered a frame-up by him, but it happened in fact. It's just that Father Zhao did an inappropriate thing at an inappropriate time and gave others a reason.
Xiao Qinyan may not have any personal enmity with Zhao's father, and he may not even have much interaction with him. He just attacked him because of a struggle for interests.
Perhaps in this matter, both Zhao Pan'er's father and Xiao Qinyan were actually more like chess pieces, a result of the warring faction, the peace faction, or the conflict between civil and military forces in the court.
Of course, Xiao Qinyan was the person directly responsible after all, so it was okay for Zhao Paner to regard him as the enemy who killed his father.
As for Gu Qianfan, he should be about the same age as Li Yong at this time. He is probably still preparing for the exam and has not yet passed the Jinshi exam, so naturally he has not yet entered the Imperial City Division.
The father and son are not yet prosperous, at least in Li Yong's view, they are not yet in a position where they cannot afford to offend.
Don't look at it. Li Yong is just a common man now, with no official or position, but he is famous. Even the emperor is alarmed and wants to see him. Even if other dignitaries want to touch him, they have to weigh it first. Is it worth it? .
To be honest, for those political animals, the value of wooing people like Li Yong is definitely higher than being enemies.
Seeing that Zhao Pan'er was silent again, quietly looking at the record on the paper in his hand, Li Yong sighed and said: "If Pan'er has any emotions that he wants to vent, don't hide them. It's not good for your health."
Zhao Pan'er only put on a sad face and smiled, saying: "Young Master has troubled me, Pan and Ling'er are very grateful."
She was really confused, and she really didn't expect that Li Yong had secretly inquired about her life experience, and also investigated these things. Now it seemed that he was planning to help her father's case.
Originally, she was still thinking about this matter, hesitating whether to tell Li Yong, worried that speaking out about it would drag him down, or that he wouldn't care at all.
After all, he seemed to completely ignore himself when playing during the day.
But looking at Li Yong now, she had mixed feelings but didn't know what to say.
In the end, he couldn't help but asked: "Why does the young master treat Ling'er so well?"
At this time, it seemed inappropriate to persuade Li Yong to stop or to continue, so Zhao Paner simply avoided this embarrassing question.
Of course, this question was the answer she was looking forward to.
Li Yong smiled and said, "Can you please help me with the investigation? I ignored you like that during the day. Are you not angry with me?"
"Ah?" Zhao Pan'er was startled for a moment, and suddenly looked away in panic. For some reason, she felt like her thoughts had been seen through, making her inexplicably shy.
Thinking about it again, Li Yongruo came to her just for this reason, and he obviously cared about her, which made it a little sweeter.
Two red clouds flew up on her pink cheeks, making her look even more delicate and charming.
However, Li Yong looked at the age of the girl in front of him. Although he felt very guilty, he still had to restrain himself and secretly blamed himself.
After all, Song Qijun can still explain that Zhao Paner is indeed too young now, and he must control himself.
Harmony is always watching...
"Master, I'm going to talk to Sister Qijun about this. She has been worried about me."
Song Qijun may have coaxed Yinzhang to sleep at this time, but he was probably not asleep yet, waiting for her to go back.
Song Qijun often keeps his worries in his heart and does not speak them out, but only does things silently.
Li Yong also thought of this, frowned but did not stop, and then smiled and said: "Then you go ahead and tell her not to worry. If I am not sure, I will not act rashly. I will still accumulate strength first and figure it out slowly. .”
This is not only to persuade Song Qijun, but also to persuade Zhao Paner.
Zhao Pan'er nodded and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly he thought of something. He turned back and glanced at Li Yong secretly and blurted out: "Young Master, if I can help the Zhao family avenge this, Ling'er really has no way to repay it, so I can only give it to the Young Master." Be a cow or a horse..."
Li Yong almost asked "Why didn't I promise you with my body?", but she dared to say that she didn't dare to respond to this question now. She could only shake her head and said: "You are talking about being a cow and a horse. Is it because I am lacking in your skills?" A slave? In fact, if I hadn't seen you in a bad mood at this time, I wouldn't have wanted to tell you about it at this time."
"Then... where is Sister Qijun..." This made Zhao Pan'er hesitate again and stared blankly at the paper in his hand.
Li Yong said: "Qi Jun, it's okay to let her know. Besides, you should have someone to share this with you. If you keep everything in your heart, what should you do?"
Zhao Pan'er nodded, feeling excited again. Looking at Li Yong's face, he felt very pleasing to the eye, even a little shy and impulsive for no reason, but thinking about it in his heart, it was okay, but he was worried that it would make Li Yong unhappy if he wanted to express it. , so instead he frowned and went away with deep thoughts.
Li Yong stood there for a while, and for some reason, he seemed to be suddenly angry.
Song Qijun was not suitable. After all, Zhao Paner went to find her, and she also had to take care of Xiao Yinzhang, so Li Yong didn't want to bother.
But on the other side, there happens to be one waiting for him to pick.
