Chapter 227 Song Cao's Acting Skills
"When Mr. Weng was in the Ministry of Punishment, he was busy with official duties all day long. After resigning, he just rested at home. I'm afraid he didn't know the name of the younger generation."
"Junior, please introduce yourself. My surname is Si and my name is Jian."
"I won the first prize at the Dengke Poetry Association, and the Emperor granted me special permission to enter the Hanlin Academy."
"I am a country boy, and I have never thought about becoming an official before."
"Writing poetry is okay, but my knowledge is really limited."
"When I first entered the Hanlin Academy, I was very frightened. I was afraid that I would make people laugh. I had to ask everything properly and make sure that I would not make any mistakes before I dared to do it."
"I don't know how I caught the emperor's attention. He first set up an official position for me and asked me to accompany him. Then, against all opinions, he placed me in the position of Minister of Justice."
"To be honest, Mr. Weng, my heart is really unsettled. The Emperor values me highly, but I know that I don't have the corresponding talents."
"The Department of Punishment is so important. When it comes to human life, there can be no mistakes."
"But I really don't know how to do it, so I would like to ask Mr. Weng to teach me something."
"We won't let Sijian harm the country and the people." Li Yi accepted the disciple ceremony with a sincere look on his face.
Weng Jing looked at him, a little surprised. Although he rarely paid attention to the affairs of these young people, Sijian's reputation had spread from Chu State.
No matter how hard he blocked his ears and eyes, he still heard a few words.
Being young, being in the limelight, and being favored by the emperor, not to mention being domineering, there must be a certain amount of arrogance.
But this Sijian is very different. Not only is he not arrogant, but he is very humble and honest.
"Come back at this time tomorrow."
After looking at Li Yi for a while, Weng Jing stood up from his seat, passed him, and went out.
Li Yi raised his eyebrows. This was the first step.
"Happy."
Li Yi called out.
"Third Master, I am already the Minister of Justice. The most important thing is that the Emperor is very fond of him. Please think twice!"
Not far from Weng's Mansion, Song Cao's attendant looked at Li Yi's coming out and turned to the man beside him to persuade him earnestly.
The third master of the past was obviously very smart, so why did he tie stones to the body of the eldest daughter of the Sheng family and sink herself to death?
Sex makes your mind faint!!
"If you keep chirping, go and join them." Song Cao crossed his arms and stared at Li Yi's carriage.
"Third Master, why don't you sell me out before you start?"
The attendant came over and made a suggestion, and Song Cao hit him on the head with a fan.
"Coward!"
"I'm just the Minister of Justice, but I'm the Emperor's brother-in-law."
"Third Master, don't be too generous. Concubine Xian is just a cousin of ours, and she was at odds with her two years ago." The attendant rubbed his head to let Song Cao recognize the truth.
Song Cao's face was full of black lines, "I want to sell you out, and there is not a single word in his mouth that people would like to hear."
"Third Master, you just praised my sweet mouth yesterday."
The attendant who received the second blow honestly shut up.
On the way to the Ministry of Justice, Li Yi was stopped by someone.
A group of local ruffians pulled the coachman out with sticks and rushed into the carriage.
Huanji wanted to protect Li Yi, but was carried away like a chicken.
"Do you know whose carriage it is?"
Falling into the hands of others, Li Yi did not panic, but asked, staring at the face of the leader.
"You kid is seducing my lover, why don't I know whose carriage this carriage belongs to?" the gangster leader said with a fierce look on his face and a rough voice.
"A cripple with a broken face can still be so dishonest."
"Bring him back to me. I'm going to break his spine to see if he can still seduce a girl."
Being grabbed by the collar, Li Yi frowned. Whether it was an accident or planned by others, he could not expose his strength.
After being dragged off the carriage, Li Yi glanced around. The location they chose was excellent. It was a corner. Because of the obstruction of the carriage, people outside knew that something had happened, but could not see the specific situation.
"open!"
"You can't touch me, the Minister of Justice!"
"Don't you want to live under the emperor's feet?" Li Yi shouted angrily.
"Hurry up and shut your mouth!" The gangster leader looked outside, and sure enough, many people's eyes were attracted.
"Walk!"
Pulling Li Yi, they were about to leave.
"Master Si, what a coincidence, we have met again, what are you doing?"
Song Cao ran into Li Yi and his party, opened the folding fan, raised his brows and spoke.
"How come you don't have a good eye?" The ruffian leader was disgusted by the rich kid who loved to show off, so he grabbed Song Cao's collar with his big hand and threw it away.
The peacock's leisurely demeanor disappeared immediately, and he fell into a big butt.
This made Li Yi frown secretly. He thought the play would be clear, but looking at it, it didn't look like it.
The look in the gangster leader's eyes didn't look like he was hooking up with Song Cao at all.
"Third Master!"
Song Cao's attendants quickly went to help him.
"Leave me alone and call someone. I didn't realize that Mr. Si was being held hostage. Call someone quickly!"
"If I can't save him, I can at least let him have a good time."
Li Yi, who was being dragged forward, twitched his eyes when he heard Song Cao's shouts behind him.
What follows should be his true words.
"Come quickly!"
"Secretary General was captured by the gangsters!!"
Song Cao's attendants shouted very hard to summon the strength of the masses.
When the crowd saw that there were only seven or eight ruffians, they picked up the gangsters and rushed forward.
Faced with the surging crowd, the gangsters would definitely run away if they didn't have any idea.
Leaving Li Yi behind, they hugged their heads and disappeared.
"Master Si, are you injured?"
Song Cao limped to Li Yi and asked with concern on his face.
Just by the look on his face, no one could tell that these two people had a close personal relationship, so they ignored their own injuries and cared about others first.
Li Yi took off the cloth that was stuffed into his mouth, took a sip, and turned to look at Song Cao, "The Third Young Master Song is interested. I will note this matter."
Li Yi's eyes were warm, as if he was moved.
"Between you and me, why do you need to be so open-minded?" Song Cao chuckled, looking casual and free.
"Uncle!"
Huanji untied the rope and rushed to Li Yi.
"I have nothing to do. I went to the Ministry of Punishment and hijacked court officials in broad daylight. I have no royal laws and must be arrested and brought to justice!" Li Yi said with a bit of coldness, looking at Song Cao from the corner of his eye.
Song Cao's expression did not change, and he agreed: "He is indeed bold and reckless, and we can't let him get away with it anymore."
"I will ask the major shops down there to pay more attention and do their best for Mr. Si." Song Cao looked at Li Yi and said with some affection.
If I were to change to someone with less experience, I don’t know how moved I would be.
Li Yi lowered his eyes, was it really not him?
After looking at Song Cao for the last time, Li Yi thanked the people for their help, and when the crowd dispersed, he got on the carriage.
Obviously, Song Cao just "encountered" him again by chance, and had nothing to do with the gangsters robbing him in the same place.
But Li Yi always felt that it wouldn't be that simple.
