Chapter 62: Becoming a Villain (Part 2)
"stop!"
Hundreds of soldiers who came to hear the news ran over from not far away. The head lieutenant officer saw Li Xun riding on the young man in blue-clothed clothes and beating him. He immediately pulled out his weapon and roared.
"Woooo, help, you're beaten to death."
The young man in Qingyi was beaten so hard that he couldn't stand it, so he hugged his head and cried.
Li Xun clapped his hands and stood up.
The lieutenant went up and pushed Li Xun away. After seeing the face of the young master in Qingyi's clothes, his face changed suddenly. He quickly helped him up and said with concern: "Little Prince, are you okay?"
The young man in the blue-clothed clothes had a bruised face, a handful of snot and tears. He pulled the captain officer, pointed at Li Xun, and shouted loudly: "Catch this kid for me, I want to kill him."
"Big Bear, help Lord He up."
Li Xun gave an order to Jiang Daxiong, then hugged his shoulders with both hands, looked at the young master of Qingyi and Jinfu with a sneer, without any fear on his face.
The lieutenant looked at Li Xun and saw that he was dressed in extraordinary clothes and was still calm in such a scene. It was obviously because of his origin, so he said, "Do you know, who is the person you beat?"
"Speak up and listen."
"This person is Li Xiao, the son of King An Li Zhong."
Li Xun rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Who am I thinking of it? Isn't it the son of a prince? I'll beat you and you'll beat you. What's the big deal?"
When the captain saw Li Xun's posture, he felt that this person's origin was not simple, so he asked in a low voice: "I don't know if you are..."
"My name is Li Xun, and I am on duty in the palace now."
The captain frowned and searched carefully in his mind. Li Xun? He was on duty in the palace again. After thinking hard for a while, the captain finally remembered someone. Isn’t Concubine Li’s nephew named Li Xun? When Li Xun and his son recognized each other, this incident had a great influence in Fengjing City. Some people even wrote this incident into an opera and were widely circulated.
"Marrior Li Mancang, Zhaoyang County, I don't know if it's yours..."
Li Xun nodded: "It's the father of the lower class."
Li Mancang was just named the title of Zhaoyang County last month, with a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, 500 hectares of land, three official uniforms, and several other items. The reward was extremely generous. At that time, some ministers opposed it, but Zhao Zhi had convinced the prime ministers and some other major ministers of the Zhengshi Hall, so Li Mancang's confiscation was finally completed smoothly.
However, it still caused criticism from many people. Finally, at Fan Zhongyun's suggestion, Li Xun took out the 10,000 taels of silver and distributed it to the soldiers who died in the Battle of Jiangnan for pension, which was able to calm down the negative discussion.
After knowing Li Xun's identity, the captain suddenly smiled bitterly. One was the son of King An Li Zhong, and the other was the nephew of the emperor's favorite concubine. No one was worse than anyone else. He was a small captain, and he couldn't afford to offend anyone. He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have come here to join in the fun.
Li Xun glanced at the captain and saw him he was hesitating there. He knew his thoughts and was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. He turned around and walked to the people lying on the ground. Two of them had already fainted, and the other one was covered in blood and looked miserable.
"Sir, these people are seriously injured. I think it's better to send them for treatment first. What do you think?"
The captain nodded, waved his hand, and several soldiers came forward to carry the people and left the scene.
"What are you two still trying to do? That kid hit me, why didn't he arrest him?"
Li Xiao came to the lieutenant at this time, pointed at Li Xun and shouted loudly.
Li Xun stretched out his fist and looked at him coldly. The latter suddenly felt awe on his face. He took two steps back, hid behind the lieutenant, and shouted: "The officers and soldiers are here, can you still dare to act violently?"
The captain looked back at Li Xiao, then smiled bitterly at Li Xun, "Mr. Li, I am a low-ranking official. I can't control the affairs of you two, and I dare not care about them. I just pretend that what happened today has never happened. You will go home alone, okay?"
After saying that, the lieutenant pulled Li Xiao to the side, told Li Xun's identity, and then persuaded him. Li Xiao looked at Li Xun in surprise, and finally gritted his teeth and remained silent. He thought that after he knew Li Xun's identity, he did not want to make a big deal.
Li Xun smiled coldly. Since the last long talk with Fan Zhongyun, Li Xun's mind has changed. In recent times, he has never found any opportunity or excuse to advise Zhao Zhi. Today's opportunity comes, how can Li Xun let go?
"Boss, what happened just now? Tell me."
The proprietress is a young woman of good looks. When she saw Li Xun asking, she glanced at Li Xiao in the distance, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Li Xun frowned, and did not force himself. He bowed to the people around him and said loudly: "Who knows the details? Please come out and say a few more words."
Everyone around was silent. It seemed that they were afraid of Li Xiao's identity and did not dare to come out to testify.
Li Xiao looked at Li Xun proudly, then glanced at the crowd around him with his eyes, and some timid people began to leave.
"I know one or two of the reasons."
At this moment, an old man with a hunched back and full of pale hair walked out.
"Old man, if you dare to talk nonsense, I can't avoid you."
Li Xiao shouted loudly.
The old man didn't even look at Li Xiao, walked up to Li Xun, and chuckled, "You really have to worry about this matter?"
Li Xun said seriously: "No matter what his identity is, if he breaks the law, I, as an official of the court, cannot sit idly by."
After saying that, he looked at the old man and his eyes finally stopped at his waist. There was a gold-jewelled fish bag hanging there. Officials from the Jin Dynasty, officials of the fifth rank and above were decorated with gold and silver, and contained fish talismans. They must be inspected when entering and leaving the palace to prevent fraud.
Those who wear gold ornaments fish bags, and those who wear frivolous clothes above the fifth grade use silver fish bags, which is the "Secretary and Suit System."
In the ninth year of Guangyuan, Zhao Zhi made some changes to this and no longer used fish talismans, but directly used gold and silver jewelry on the bag to form a fish shape.
The prince was given a jade fish. The purple garment of goldfish bags is called "gold purple", and the scarlet garment of silverfish bags is called "gold purple". Once given, it will be very glorious.
When an official leaves Beijing to do business or serves as an envoy, he can also "borrow purple" and "borrow purple", that is, borrow a seal that is one level higher than the original one.
The old man was still wearing a fish bag around his waist. He should have been an official of the court before, and his grade was not low. Now he may have retired.
The old man glanced at Li Xun with appreciation, and then told him what happened.
