Zui Ke Ju, a famous restaurant in Beijing, would be similar to a high-end club in later generations. Anyone who doesn’t have a daily interest of 180 yuan on Yu’e Bao can’t get into it.
There were more than 20 officers, soldiers, and several palace guards. Yin Ma Rui of Jingzhao Prefecture personally led the team, and Chu Qing was half a step behind.
Chu Qing is a young man, a cool young man. Young people don't like to be a supporting role, but today, he wants to be a supporting role and he is willing to be a supporting role.
Jiang Yuesheng said that this is Ma Rui's battle alone. After today, Mr. Yin Ma of Jingzhao Mansion cannot retreat. Even if he retreats, he will retire and return to his hometown. Without his official status, how will he face the blow from the Li family?
revenge?
The son of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was arrested almost without any evidence, and the consequences can be imagined.
It's not that there is no reason, it's just that it's not sufficient and can't be counted as evidence. By doing this, Ma Rui offended not only the Li family, but a "rule", a rule set by a group of people who regarded sucking the flesh and blood of the common people as normal.
When Ma Rui challenges this rule, he is challenging the group of people who set the rules.
The third-rank Jingzhao Prefecture Yin is qualified to challenge this rule, but not qualified to escape unscathed.
There were several gorgeous sedan chairs outside the three-story building, which had an antique feel. Ma Rui took the lead and walked in quickly.
Ma Rui had never been to this place where intellectuals gathered, but the purple official robe on his body made the shopkeeper recognize him immediately. When he was about to come up to him, Ma Rui pushed him away and went straight to the stairs to the third floor.
, and everyone followed closely behind.
On the third floor, the screen was removed, and Li Lin was sitting at the mahogany table in the middle with several young people wearing Chinese clothes or Confucian robes.
The entire floor was occupied by Li Lin, and the people accompanying him were either rich or noble, and were all of similar age.
Ma Rui's appearance made the faces of the young people joking froze.
"Master Ma?" Li Lin stood up and suddenly noticed Chu Qing and others behind Ma Rui, and his pupils suddenly shrank like needlepoints.
Chu Qing smiled slightly: "Hello, little plum."
A look of anger flashed across Li Lin's face, and he immediately recalled the scene when he was severely humiliated by Chu Qing, but this look of anger disappeared in an instant.
"Mr. Chu." Li Lin cupped his hands and bowed in salute, his posture slightly humble.
If Chu Qing's identity was "revealed", the people who were most shocked must be the Li family, and among the Li family, the most shocked person must be Li Lin.
As the only person who had ever interacted with Chu Qing, Li Lin was dumbfounded at first, and then in a daze after learning about Chu Qing's "new identity". He stood there for the duration of a stick of incense.
He "brought" the deputy commander of Qianqiying into the prison of Jingzhao Mansion and threatened to kill him sooner or later. Not to mention Li Xiaoer, even his father Li Wenli had to slap himself in remorse.
You must know that Qianqiying is the emperor's personal army. If you want to kill the emperor's personal army, then just carve the four words "I want to rebel" on your forehead.
But after everything has been done, you can't apologize with death. Moreover, Li Lin kept comforting himself. It's not to blame for those who don't know. The devil knows that you are the deputy commander of Qianqiying. If you had said it earlier, it would be too late for anyone to provoke you and curry favor with you.
Woolen cloth.
Li Lin glanced at Ma Rui and others, his face uncertain.
Even a fool could see that the person was evil. The soldiers and officers all came carrying water and fire sticks, and mainly the imperial guards came.
Ma Rui looked expressionless and looked at Li Lin calmly, his chest rising and falling slightly.
"noodle."
Ma Rui said one word, and the soldier behind him took the flour bag in Fu San's hand and threw it on the ground. There was a big "Li" character on the flour bag, which was very conspicuous.
Chu Qing was very envious. He looked at the soldier and knew what to do with just one look. Looking at Fu San again, if he had given him a look, this guy would have already stabbed Li Lin with a knife.
Li Lin looked at the dough bag with confusion on his face.
Tao Ruolin not only put big stones inside, but also wrote the character "李" on it.
Pointing to the flour bag, Ma Rui said: "This flour comes from your Li family's grain shop."
Li Lin was confused, and the several noble sons beside him also looked at each other and looked confused.
"The flour is mixed with gravel and gravel, the grains are not seasoned, and the fruits are not ripe. It is not porridge in the market and it is not given to the people."
There was no emotion in Ma Rui's voice: "Li Lin, do you know your guilt?"
Li Lin understood, but after he understood, he was confused again, with a strange look on his face: "Master Ma is looking for students just because there is sand and gravel in the flour sold in my Li family grain shop?"
Until now, Li Lin has not realized the seriousness of the problem. He is not stupid, but very smart. Even if Ma Rui came to his door, he did not quibble or find excuses to deny that the flour was sold by the shop under the Li family's name.
But it was strange, strange that Ma Rui came to the door because of such a "trivial matter".
He took two steps forward, looked down at the flour, and kicked his feet twice. Li Lin couldn't even laugh or cry: "Master Ma, I'm afraid I'm not joking. The students thought it was something. It was just the shopkeeper's negligence. I will pay ten times, no, a hundred times.
how."
Ma Rui smiled and put his hands on the jade belt around his waist. Li Lin laughed so hard that he didn't know why.
Patting the general's belly, Ma Rui stopped laughing, but not his smile.
"It is recorded in Chang's Law that if you sell something, you will get sick, and you will be flogged fifteen times; if you sell something, you will die, and you will be punished!"
Li Lin's expression changed drastically: "Master Ma, what do you mean?"
Before Ma Rui could speak, a young man with an oily head and a pink face cupped his hand and said with a smile: "Master Ma, student Chen Huiqi, my father Chen Xun, General Fu'an of the Ministry of War, Lizhou Tunbingwei..."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Rui stroked his forehead: "Chen Xun...Chen Xun, oh, I remembered it, there is a friendship, there is a friendship."
The young man's smile grew stronger: "Master Ma..."
With a "pop" sound, a big mouth shouted directly on the young man's face.
There was a sound of gasping air in the room. Ma Rui pointed at the stairs and yelled: "A son of Qiu Ba, who is only a fourth-grade minister from the Ministry of War, dares to beg for mercy in front of me, get out!"
The young man covering his face was dumbfounded, ashamed and angry.
Ma Rui didn't look down on him. With a stern look on his face, he turned his head and glanced at the people behind Li Lin, naming them one by one.
"Zhang Huan, the son of the magistrate of Youzhou. During the Anlong year, there was a flood. Your father Zhang Ju seized thousands of acres of fertile land. The people of Youzhou came to the capital to complain. Your father also wanted to send his generals to rob people. Thirteen people in Youzhou
The common people are living in the capital now. Yes, those common people are protected by me. If your father still wants this official position, you should get out of here!"
"Huang Bincai, the son of a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, has been arrogant and arrogant in the capital since he was a child. There are no less than thirty complaints from the people, second only to Chu... Those complaints were accidentally lost last night. Maybe they will be in front of the supervisors of Yushitai in an hour.
, I don’t want your Huang family to be the target of so many people, so get out!”
"Qiu Yuanshan, the concubine of the Qiu family, the Qiu family sells official salt privately. I know exactly where the salt is sold, get out!"
"Xiong Zhannian, the grandson of General Yunhui of the Beijing Camp, your Xiong family... I want to impeach your Xiong family. I won't be able to finish it in a day. I will destroy your Xiong family in an instant. Get out!"
"Lan Zhong, Lan Liang, you slaves are flying eagles and horses. If I want to put your two brothers in jail, I don't even bother to find a reason, so get out!"
After shouting "get out", all the friends around Li Lin ran away in an instant, and they were in an extremely embarrassed state.
Ma Rui put down his arms, inserted his hands into the jade belt around his waist again, raised his chubby face slightly, and looked at Li Lin again.
"If the noodles are mixed with stones, you will be guilty!"
