Chapter 322 Identity Exposure

Chapter 322 Identity exposure

Chang'an Yonghefang is a yard where the poor people live in Chang'an. Most of the people living in the yard are refugees from all over the country who stay in Chang'an and do not go to Chang'an. The population is also large. Fighting incidents occur one after another on weekdays, and even the yamen runners are reluctant to go to this yard. In the dense low houses, countless people of unknown origin live. They have not been asked about them, nor have anyone come to ask them for taxes. Only when the headless murder occurs, will the yamen runners appear nearby.

In a small alley in this residential area, there was a small yard of three or four houses. The original owner of the yard was from Fengxiang. When the owner returned to his hometown, he rented out the yard and moved a new family a month ago. They rarely went out. Only one little maid often came out to buy vegetables and rice. Almost no one saw the owner of this family. However, in the past few days, there seemed to be some conflict in this family. I often heard the roar of a young man and the begging of two women. However, the yard was hidden in the alley, and it was difficult for passers-by to hear their noisy sounds.

This family is the family of Mrs. Luo who escaped from Sui Ye, Li Qing'an's nominal brother. One of the two women is Mrs. Luo, and the other is Princess Heyi who escaped from Ningyuan Kingdom and unwilling to return to the country. Her name is Ning Qingyi, and there is also a little maid. A total of four people live in this hidden yard.

We need to explain their experience here. It should be last year. After they escaped from Suoye, they hid in Anding County, Jingzhou, Guanzhong. They brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, which was enough for their rest of their lives. Mrs. Luo just liked the name of this county, so she went there. In Anding County, they bought a house. In order not to live in vain, they also bought two hundred acres of land and rented it to the tenant for rent. Shortly after they settled down, under the auspices of Mrs. Luo, Li Yan married Ning Qingyi as his wife. One thing needs to be explained, they are both the same clan of the Li family and cannot get married, but because Ning Qingyi has always concealed her identity as a princess, and she is a partial clan of the Li family. In order to keep each other's secrets, they got married. After marriage, Li Yan was still ambitious and read and wrote all day long. She was kind and loved with her beautiful wife. She lived a very harmonious life. Mrs. Luo also hoped that her daughter-in-law would give birth to a grandson as soon as possible.

But no matter how beautiful the poppy is, its essence is also sinful. As time goes by, Li Yan gradually became tired of his wife, Ning Qingyi could no longer control her husband, Li Yan's nature began to be exposed day by day, he stopped reading books, and hanged with a group of county gossip all day long, learned to gambling, learn to go to prostitutes and drink wine, he spent a lot of money, and in less than a year, he squandered all the money brought by his mother, and still owed a lot of money.

The creditor took away their house and land and drove them out of the house. At this time, Li Xian cried bitterly to his mother and wife, and promised that he would refresh himself and become a new person. The kind mother and his wife finally forgave him, but they had no property and no support. They had no choice but to leave Anding and come to Chang'an to make a living. Fortunately, Ning Qingyi had a few good jewelry pieces, and after selling them, he got a little money and rented them in Yonghefang.

They have been in Chang'an for a month. Seeing that their wife's money for selling jewelry was almost spent, the family's difficulties and future survival problems caused the family to have conflicts and noise, mainly because of the conflict between Li Yan and his wife. He asked Ning Qingyi to go to his parents' home for help, but Ning Qingyi refused. The conflict finally broke out the day before yesterday. The cause was that the local guard in the yard was visiting. He heard that Li Yan could read and write, so he enthusiastically introduced him to a job of teaching in the school. This was also a decent job. Mrs. Luo and Ning Qingyi both tried their best to persuade him, but Li Yan didn't want to go. He wanted to go to the Han and Tang Dynasties to seek funding, but he was beaten by his mother

Li Yan insisted on going, but Mrs. Luo finally hesitated to tell the truth about the escape. Now the owner of the Yinlong Society, Li Yan's brother, was Li Qing'an, the governor of Anxi. Li Yan was furious when he learned the truth. He was like a child who had been stolen from his favorite toys and began to have a hysterical attack. He scolded his mother and his wife for hiding him, causing him to lose his happy life. For several days, he was furious. Although his mother repeatedly advised him that for the sake of life safety, he could no longer fight to be the young master of the Yinlong Society. He had already left that organization and could never go to the trap.

But Li Yan was reluctant to let go. When he thought of the past, the piles of women in the past, the carved beams and painted pillars of the past, and now they can only live in a dilapidated house, counting the stars until dawn, the strong gap made him hysterical and scolded his mother all day long. At this moment, he had completely forgotten his playboy and his family. It seemed that all the responsibility was because his mother recognized the so-called "big brother". His miserable life today was caused by his mother. The anger in his heart made him angry with his wife, which was her who dragged him down.

Early in the morning, he saw another bowl of porridge for breakfast that was hard to swallow. He had another attack. With a "bang!", he smashed the bowl of porridge to the ground. The bowl was smashed to pieces. He pointed to his frightened mother and wife, who were frightened, cursed: "Are you feeding pigs? I am a human being. After the prince is upright, I actually asked me to eat pig food. You two women ruined my life. Do you still use pig food to insult me?"

Mrs. Luo was trembling all over. She suddenly burst into tears and ran into the house with her face covering her face. Ning Qingyi was also in great pain. She stepped forward and knelt in front of her husband and cried, "There is only four hundred cents at home. You can still eat rice at night, but my mother and I have been drinking porridge every meal. It has been a month since my husband, husband, you really refuse to be a teacher, and we won't force it. My mother and I have already discussed it and are going to wash clothes for the human powder, save some money and set up a stall to do small business. Life will get better soon. Husband, just bear it! Mother is already hard enough."

"This is her worthy! Who told her to escape from the Thunder Leaf? Who told her to be rich and prosperous? Your stupidity has dragged me down. Do you want me to continue to suffer as much as you? What about the money? Where is the money!"

Li Qi shouted hysterically, and suddenly rushed to a broken cabinet and reached out to dig it in. His wife was shocked, got up from the ground and hugged his arm, crying, "Mr., you can't! This four hundred cents are our rice money, and there is no rice at home."

"roll!"

Li Qi kicked his wife over, took out a cloth bag from the cabinet, stuffed it into his arms, and ran out. In the blink of an eye, he ran away without a trace. Ning Qingyi stared blankly at her husband's back and disappeared. She suddenly felt sad and lay on the ground and burst into tears. She began to miss the husband on the grassland who would rather not have his life than protect her escape. She began to miss the simple people on the grassland, even though she had hated her.

Since Li Qing'an left Chang'an, Rehaiju has become calm again. Its business has never been lukewarm. It is located in the alley. Only some old customers often come here to drink. Even on the most lively festivals, there is no crowd. The restaurant is always quiet all day long. At noon, a carriage was parked in front of Rehaiju. Li Huichun walked out of the carriage, with a little worried look in his eyes, and asked the guy who came up to him, "Where are you, Master Chang?"

"Brother, what gust of wind blows you?"

Chang Jin walked out with a big laugh. When he saw Li Huichun's face full of worry, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Brother, what happened?"

"Come here, I'll tell you something important."

Li Huichun pulled Chang Jin to the wall and whispered to him. Chang Jin was shocked, "Oh my God! Are they in Chang'an?"

"Yes! I guess they have a hard time. You can go to Baimiaolou for me, redeem the boy, give him some money, and ask him to take his mother out of Chang'an immediately."

"Does my brother worry that the lord will kill them?"

"Not only that, the situation in the court is complicated now. I am afraid that his identity will be exposed and affect our plan of returning Hidden Dragon, so I will let him leave Chang'an as soon as possible."

"He is so shallow and impetuous, and something will happen sooner or later. It's better to take him..."

Chang Jin couldn't say the word "kill". He gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't the lord say it? He immediately escorted the thunder leaves when he saw him."

Li Huichun sighed and said, "I know he is dangerous, but he is the old master's flesh and blood. After all, he treats us well. If you send him back to Saiye, he will definitely be dead. Forget it, let's send him away quickly and can't stay in Chang'an anymore. And only the two of us know about this. We can't disclose it to the third person, let alone tell the lord that he will not let Yan'er go. Do you understand?"

Chang Jin pondered for a long time and said, "Okay! I'll go now. Only the two of us know about this. I won't tell anyone."

"Remember, give him a generous sum of money and ask him to take his mother out of Chang'an immediately."

Baimiaolou is one of the most famous brothels in Pingkangfang. At this moment, in a small house in the inner hall, Li Yan, who was naked and pale, was firmly tied to the big pillar. He lowered his head weakly, with blood marks on his face and body, and was obviously not beaten clearly.

At a small table not far away, two tough men were sitting and drinking with each other. They glanced at Li Yun from time to time and whispered: "What's the matter? It's only 400 cents, but you dare to come to Baimiaolou. I'm really tired of living. I dare to order the Lotus Miao girl who has 40 cents of money. I deserve it."

Another man also interjected and scolded: "It's a bargain to beat him to death. He can't afford to pay forty stakes. Not only can he have ten stakes of wine and rewards. If he can't afford fifty stakes, he will peel him off."

Li Qi lowered his head and said nothing. At this time, the door opened, and a madam walked into the outside and laughed and said, "Young Master Li! You're wronged."

She winked at the two big men, "Unlock him!"

Li Yan's head suddenly raised and said in a trembling voice: "My... is my uncle here?"

"I didn't expect that your uncle is Li Dongzhu of Huichun Tea House. He was disrespectful, but it was not Li Dongzhu, but another person who came."

The two big men untied the rope on Li Xiang's body, and the madam personally put on a new outfit for him, and said with a flattering smile: "Miss Lianhua Miao said, please give me aside this for her serving you, so let it go. Mr. Li, give Miss Lianhua Miao a face!"

Li Yan swallowed and said, "Let her stay with me for another night, I'll forget it."

"No problem, I can spend three nights with you. Master Li said that he will pay the difference."

At this time, a heavy cough came from the door. Chang Jin walked in with a gloomy face. He had heard it at the door just now. This bastard actually wanted to stay for another night, which made him extremely dissatisfied. Chang Jin was a generous and righteous man. He never liked this little dandy master. He regarded the career of the Yinlong Society as more important than anything else, but Li Yan brought him only deep disappointment and hurt. The 18 families of the four generations of people who have been struggling with for nearly a hundred years of dreams and beliefs, and they actually wanted to maintain this stupid and ignorant playboy. Thinking about it will make him feel endless sorrow. This is also the reason why Chang Jin resolutely supports Li Qing'an. Whether Li Qing'an is true or false, it is important whether he can realize the dream that the Yinlong Society has been waiting for for a hundred years.

He walked into the room, Leng Bingbing glanced at him and said, "Follow me!"

Li Qi was most afraid of two people in the Hidden Dragon Society, one was his grandfather Luo Pinfang, and the other was Chang Jin. Although he should be happy to see his relatives who had been away for a long time today, Chang Jin's cold tone made him feel timid.

The four words "Uncle Chang Si" were not called out after all. He stammered his lips and lowered his head to follow Chang Jin. Chang Jin took him away from Baimiaolou without saying a word. He led his horse and continued to walk forward. Li Qi lowered his head and followed him. Chang Jin walked behind an inn. It was very quiet and there was no one.

Chang Jin took off a heavy big leather bag from his horse and threw it at his feet, with a clang.

"This is five hundred taels of gold. Take your mother away from Chang'an immediately, and the further you go, the better!"

Li Qi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help swallowing. Five hundred taels of gold, which would be five thousand jin of coins, which would be enough to make him happy for two years.

Chang Jin seemed to know what he was thinking, but still said coldly: "I warn you that this money is the last living expenses we give you. Being more thrifty will be enough for you to live a comfortable life. From now on, will the Han and Tang dynasties ask you again? Whether you die or live has nothing to do with us. If you dare to come and look for it again, you will be dead."

Chang Jin's indifference aroused Li Yan's dissatisfaction. He slowly stepped on the golden bag with his feet and raised his head and said, "The Yinlong will be created by my great-grandfather and the ancestral property of my family. You are just a descendant of a slave. How dare you say such words of killing the master? Are you not afraid of being punished by God?"

"The Hidden Dragon Society no longer belongs to you!"

Chang Jin glanced at his feet disdainfully and snorted: "If you have 10% of the eldest son's mind and courage, you will not be so down and out. You are not enterprising and are nostalgic for brothels. Even I feel ashamed of you. You are so embarrassed to mention Yinlong. Are you worthy?"

"Don't insult me!"

Li Xiang's face was flushed by Chang Jin's contempt. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "You snobs, thieves who are carrying the Lord, I curse you, and I have no shame to see your ancestors after death!"

Chang Jin heard his scolding so fiercely that his face changed, and he clenched his fists and rushed forward, scaring Li Yan to the ground. He hurriedly grabbed the gold bag, crawled back a few steps, and said timidly: "What are you... what are you going to do?"

Chang Jin opened his eyes wide open and pointed at him word by word: "I originally wanted to kill you, but Brother Li didn't allow me to kill you. Because your father was my master and your mother's hard work to raise you, I spared you today. I don't know if it would be the stupidest thing I Chang Jin did, but people cannot be without righteousness. I let you go for righteousness, get out!"

Li Qi didn't dare to say another word, and stumbled and fled with his heavy skin. When Chang Jin saw him running away, he sighed and said, "The same one was born to the same mother, why is it so different?"

He shook his head, turned over and left. When Chang walked away, Li Qi slowly leaned out from behind a wall and said in a vagina: "You want me to die, hum! I want to see who died!"

There is a house in Kaimingfang, Chang'an, covering an area of ​​30 acres and a high wall courtyard. It can be seen that it is an official family, but the door is cold, the gaps are covered with grass, the door is mottled paint, large areas fall off, and two lifeless lanterns are beaten by the wind and rain, turning into old white, and appear a little dilapidated. This is the house of the former Anxi Jiedushi Fu Meng Lingcha.

At noon the next day, Li Yan, dressed in bright clothes, appeared in front of Fu Meng Lingcha's mansion. The door was closed tightly. He walked up the steps and patted the door with great force, "Is anyone here?"

No one agreed for a long time, and he patted again. At this time, the door creaked a crack, revealing a white-haired old man, "Who are you looking for?"

"Brother-in-law, is Mr. Meng at home?"

"Master Fu Meng is not here, but Fu Meng Lingcha is there."

"Oh! My father-in-law is really good at joking, so I'll look for Fu Meng... Which one! I'll look for him."

"Who are you!"

Li Qi quickly took out a famous post and handed it on it and said, "I have met Magistrate Fu Meng before, so just say that Mr. Xun of the Shattered Leaf is asking for a meeting."

"Okay! You're waiting."

The old man took the famous post and closed the door. His heavy steps gradually walked away. Li Qian rubbed his hands and stood outside the door waiting.

In Chang'an, Li Xiang knew no one except Li Huichun and Chang Jin. He only knew Huichun Tea House in Dongcheng City, where he lived when he entered Beijing. He thought about it all night last night and finally remembered Fu Meng Lingcha. He had seen him twice. Fu Meng Lingcha liked him very much. He once said that if he had any difficulties, he could come to him for help.

Although many years have passed, Li Ying still clearly remembers that he asked someone for information early in the morning and was very lucky. The shopkeeper of a restaurant knew where Fu Meng Lingcha lived, and also knew that Fu Meng Lingcha was in the capital and had seen him a few days ago.

Since the Battle of Xiaobolu, Fumeng Lingcha was replaced by Gao Xianzhi, and he was renamed the Deputy Protector of Andong. The Protectorate is part of today's Liaodong Peninsula and western Liaoning. Two years later, the Protectorate was stationed in today's Jinzhou. The areas under the jurisdiction of the Anton Protectorate and the Pinglu Jiedushi were basically overlapping. This made the Anton Protectorate have no real power and more of a symbolic meaning. Under the power of the powerful An Lushan, Fumeng Lingcha was a completely decorative decoration. After staying there for several years, Fumeng Lingcha was depressed and fell seriously ill. He returned to the capital on the excuse of recuperation and never went back. Of course, he was still the Deputy Protector of Andu, but there was no difference between him or not in office.

Fu Meng Lingcha no longer wanted to go back. In two years, he would beg the emperor to retire from the officialdom. Fu Meng Lingcha liked fishing, so he dug a fish pond in the backyard and raised hundreds of fish. He had nothing to do to fish and relieve boredom.

When he woke up early in the morning, he fished in the fish pond. Although the sun was shining, he still wore a straw raincoat, a straw hat, and a style of fishing alone in the snow in the cold river. Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful and there was no thin layer of snow, which gave him some artistic conception.

At this time, his old housekeeper walked slowly and reported: "Master, there is a young man looking for you at the door, what is the name of Mr. Broken Leaf's Bell."

Hu Meng Lingcha frowned. He had never heard of the bell master. When he saw a prayer letter in his hand, he reached out to take it.

The name 'Li Yan!' He looked familiar. He looked up for a long time before he suddenly remembered that it was about six or seven years ago that the rich man from Thunder Ye Li Huichun once brought him to find him, wanting him to arrange a position for this young man in the Anxi Army. At that time, it seemed that the young man was too weak and not smart enough. He looked down on him a little, so he politely refused. What is he doing now for him?

Meng Lingcha was about to refuse, but then he thought again and said that it was okay to see him. He had no guests in his house for a long time.

"Take him to my small guest room, I'll come right away!"

He caught fish for a while, then he put away the fishing rod, took off his straw raincoat and hat, and walked slowly towards the small guest room with his hands behind his back.

Li Qi had been waiting for a long time and was sitting and drinking tea. When he saw Hu Meng Lingcha coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted: "After the younger generation, Li Qi, please see Hu Meng's general!"

Fu Meng Lingcha waved his hand and said, "Don't mention the commander, that's a thing of the past. Just call me a senior."

"Yes! Senior Fu Meng."

"Sit down!"

Hu Meng Lingcha smiled slightly and asked Li Xiang to sit down. He also sat down, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Master, no! Senior, I have something big about Anxi, I want to report it to Senior."

Fu Meng Lingcha raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said lightly: "You should go to Li Qing'an for Anxi, and only Andong for Anxi should come to me."

Speaking of the three words Li Qing'an, Fu Meng Lingcha slightly emphasized his tone, which was a name he was reluctant to mention. The little captain of the past was now the governor of Anxi, and he was also the prime minister of the government affairs hall, the prince of Anxi, and the previous governor of Anxi, did not reach this level. Even Gao Xianzhi became the prince of Annan in Jiannan, and the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the former waves. Of course, this sentence was said when talking to others, but his heart was full of jealousy.

"But Senior Fu Meng, what I'm talking about is Li Qing'an."

Humeng Lingcha was stunned. He glanced at Li Hua again, his eyes shining like lightning, and his old and drowsy look just now was wiped out, "What's the matter?"

Li Xiang leaned forward and lowered his voice, "Does Senior Fu Meng want to know Li Qing'an's true life experience?"

"Isn't he from Luoyang? I'm hiding with my grandfather and it seems like this is how it is."

"No!" Li Qi gritted his teeth and said, "That was just a matter of his concealment. He was actually a descendant of the Prince Jiancheng during the Xuanwu Gate Incident."

"ah!"
