MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-Chapter 20 elder

   Chapter 20 Elders

This turmoil in the capital was limited to a very small scope, so that, except for the Chengde Emperor and a few parties, most people in the capital had no idea what was going on, but as long as those who were interested could see it. The big-character poster written by Li Xin was related to the cancellation of the hunt, and that the ruler of Jingzhao Mansion was demoted by two ranks.

However, this matter involved the emperor, and Li Xin's big-character poster was suspected of slandering the emperor. Therefore, no one in the capital dared to put this matter in plain sight. Therefore, this turmoil was covered up to the greatest extent. Even if you know, pretend you don't know, everyone just thinks that nothing happened.

On the second day, the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion disappeared from the street, and the documents for the wanted Li Xin disappeared. It was not until this time that Li Xin's uneasy mind finally settled down, because at this time, he didn't know what to do. I completely believed what the Seventh Young Master said.

  No matter what, he and Seventh Young Master have no friendship after all, and the two of them have only known each other for two or three days. It is normal for Li Xin to have some precautions.

   Fortunately, nothing this Seventh Young Master said to Li Xin was wrong.

This turmoil was really just as the Seventh Young Master said, and it was easily uncovered. Those officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion who were still on the street yesterday, like wolves like tigers, disappeared as if they never existed at this time. of disappearance.

On this day, Li Xin walked on the street for a long time, and he didn't find the person from the inner guard that the seventh son said, but it's not surprising that even if those people were ordered to protect themselves, they didn't necessarily have to be in the light. , if they hide, they won't be able to find it.

So, after buying some firewood, rice, oil and salt on the street, Li Xin set off to return to his small yard in Datongfang. When he returned to his residence, it was almost evening. Li Xin pushed open the courtyard door and found that there were more than There were two charcoal sellers, the charcoal seller and the charcoal girl, grandparents and grandchildren, and there was an old man in green clothes with silver hair.

   The charcoal seller was all smiles, and the two old men were obviously chatting happily.

They spoke the dialect of the capital, and they spoke very quickly. After listening to a couple of sentences, Li Xin found that he didn't understand something, so he pulled the charcoal girl beside him and asked, "Girl, this old...he is Who?"

According to the plot in the novel, at this time, it should be the emperor's private visit, and then the next plot should be that the emperor asks himself for political affairs, and he expresses an impassioned speech that makes the emperor drop his jaw and worship him. Incessantly, finally successfully entered the court and reached the pinnacle of life...

  Unfortunately, this kind of plot usually doesn't happen easily. If the emperor goes out on patrol in micro-clothing, in the case of white dragon fish clothing, he will be surrounded by guards, and he will warn the enemy within a certain range.

  But before Li Xin entered the door just now, there were still people coming and going on the street outside Datongfang, and there was no sign of being alerted at all.

   Moreover, the royal family has the temperament of a superior. Although this old man also has some temperament, it is slightly less than the seventh son, and it is even less likely to be an emperor.

The charcoal girl glanced in the room, then looked up at Li Xin, and said crisply: "Brother, this old man claims to be your elder, and he has been waiting here for almost an hour to see you. "

   Elder...?

Li Xin frowned. He didn't have any elders in the capital. If he had to say anything, he would be relatives from the Pingnanhou Mansion, but he really didn't want to talk to the Pingnanhou Mansion. any association.

  Thinking of this, Li Xin coughed, walked in from outside the room, and bowed his hands slightly to the old man in Tsing Yi: "Where are you looking for the old man?"

  The old man in green clothes was talking to the charcoal seller. He turned around when he heard Li Xin's voice, looked up and down at the young man in front of him, and said, "Are you Li Xin?"

  Li Xin nodded slowly.

   The old man snorted and said solemnly, "This old man should be your uncle according to his seniority. Why is he not polite at all, nor is he polite when he sees his uncle?"

  Li Xin squinted his eyes and said, "Old man, I have no relatives and no reason in the capital, let alone a father. I don't know where the word uncle came from?"

The old man in Tsing Yi stood up from the bed. Only then did Li Xin realize that the old man was quite tall, slightly taller than Li Xin. The old man took a serious look at Li Xin and said, "It's not convenient here, let's go out. Say, the old man has something to ask you."

  Li Xin was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

  Everyone has come to the door, and it is useless to escape at this time. If it is really a relative from the Pingnanhou Mansion, it is enough to deal with it and send it away.

  Li Xin took out a packet of sticky candy from the vegetable basket he brought back, handed it to the little girl, and laughed softly: "Take it and talk to grandpa first, and my brother will get you some food in a while."

Since Li Xin has income, he often brings some snacks to the little girl every time he goes out, but their cabin has been burnt down recently, and Li Xin is busy with other things, so he has not been able to buy candy for the little girl. Eat, Li Xin just remembered today and brought her a packet of candy.

   The little girl found candy, hugged her in her arms, and sat down beside the charcoal seller.

   Li Xin took a deep breath, turned and walked out of the room.

   At this time, it was still in the twelfth lunar month, and it was still quite cold in the courtyard. Li Xin built a bonfire in the yard, and the two of them sat opposite each other around the bonfire.

  The old man stretched out his hand to bake on the fire, and looked up at Li Xin.

   "Do you know who the old man is?"

  Li Xin bowed his head and said, "I guessed some."

The old man snorted: "Since I guessed it, the old man has to tell you something. It is good for young people to have some ideas, but before doing things, always think about the consequences. With you, your best end at this time is to eat in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion!"

Having said that, the old man gave Li Xin an angry look, and sneered: "The emperor's sanctification is still in the world, the old man froze to death in the North Mountain, the old man who sold charcoal, who was living well at this time, was used by you to slander the holy man. Sir!"

  Li Xin frowned slightly.

  Although the old man's words are true, but when these words are spoken in the mouth of the Pingnan Houfu, they will make him somewhat uncomfortable.

So Li Xin stood up and said, "This old man has no relatives in the capital, let alone an uncle. You must have admitted the wrong person. As for what you do or don't do, it's your own business. Nothing to do with others."

   "Have nothing to do with others?"

The old man in Tsing Yi was so angry at Li Xin's words that he stood up suddenly, blowing his beard and staring at Li Xin, and said loudly to Li Xin, "Old man Li Ye, who is the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, I would like to thank you this time. As a result, the old man was directly demoted by two levels, and you actually said that this matter has nothing to do with me?!"
