To say that Steward Zheng changed into a beggar's costume is indeed a bit over the top, and he even pretended to find a servant, pretending that he was a down-and-out beggar who came to Zheng's house to beg and was thrown out. Afterwards, he slipped out through the back door. He wandered along the road begging for food all the way to Chu's house. Even he himself did not expect that the people in Lingxi Town were so kind. Two silvers is about the same as my monthly money.
It stands to reason that the Chu family would give some money, rice and other things to beggars, but Lao Zheng didn't want anything, and even gave all the money he had just asked for to the Chu family's concierge, and asked Li Tang to come out if he said anything, so he didn't ask for help. With the previous scene, Li Tang was holding an old beggar in his arms.
After Li Tang inquired about what had just happened in the Zheng family, he learned that Pei Yuanying was in the Zheng family at this time, and it was precisely Pei Yuanying who visited the Zheng family this time. This file cannot be taken out. The Zheng family¡¯s attitude towards Pei Yuanying has always been that they are afraid of his official authority and try their best to meet his "reasonable" demands. However, these demands have gone beyond the reasonable concept, and Zheng Yaozu followed suit. Facing a difficult situation, Lao Zheng had no choice but to advise his young master to ask Li Tang for help.
Along the way, Old Zheng was confiding to Li Tang about Zheng Yaozu's helplessness and kindness, and he told Li Tang the root cause of his rampage in the countryside and his crimes for more than ten years. Li Tang was skeptical, and his impression of Zheng Yaozu was not good. That's great, he tried to slap himself during the Xinglin Shuhui, no matter how he thought about such a dude, he couldn't think of any advantages. I just heard that he didn't go out very much recently and concentrated on studying the business of the Escort Bureau at home. This made Li Tang feel a little better. It is really not easy for an impetuous slutty man to keep his own place now.
"Mr. Li, to be honest, I asked you to help my young master this time because of helplessness. I know you have always had a prejudice against my young master, but in fact the young master's heart is not bad. I watched him grow up. I also watched him change step by step. Some things, as a servant of the Zheng family, I have no way to directly participate in them, but since I was beaten by the young master of the Chu family that day, my young master decided to change his mind and change his mind. You have done a good job, and I hope Mr. Li will get closer to my young master in the future, and if there is anything wrong with me before, please forgive me."
Old Zheng had a helpless face, and endless worries were written on his bitter face. Li Tang sighed slightly. No one in this world has an easy life, including this old Zheng who looks like the second in command of the Zheng family. It's the same, what Zheng Yaozu did before is really disgusting, but to Li Tang, it's nothing more than simply having such a type of person, whether he likes it or hates it, he really exists, and you take He had no choice but to accept it.
"Butler Zheng, you go first, I have something to deal with."
"Ah? Mr. Li, this" Lao Zheng was at a loss for words for a while. He had heard too many such words. Usually, when others evade a matter, they would use such seemingly important words, but in fact they would use some catchy words to prevaricate others. , making the begging man speechless.
"Don't worry, Steward Zheng. I, Li Tang, promise to do what I said. Since I have decided to help your Zheng family get rid of the difficulties in front of me, I will definitely do what I say. It's just a detour. Second brother's cleverness, it's easy to see that I was deliberately invited by your Zheng family to check and balance him."
"Okay, Mr. Li, you must come, my young master's life is in your hands."
"Um."
Looking at the back of Steward Zheng going away, Li Tang couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart. If Zheng Yaozu came here in person today, he would definitely refuse without hesitation. I have never seen Zheng Yaozu who has reformed himself. Still staying on the previous arrogant and domineering Zheng Yaozu, but today is Guanshi Zheng, looking at the furrowed wrinkles on his face, it can be seen that he really has his heart broken for the Zheng family, and he is also a hard-working person.
After parting with Steward Zheng on the spot, Li Tang first came to Pei's mansion in the south of the town, and first asked about Pei Yuanying's whereabouts, but was told by his servants that he had already left the house. If there is anything to do, please come back another day. Li Tang took out a few coins from his pocket. Passed it to the concierge, and the concierge told Li Tang the news that Pei Yuanying had gone all the way north. After hearing the news, Li Tang smiled slightly and took his leave. I bought a bottle and jar, and found a piece of square cloth to wear behind my back.
As soon as he entered the gate of Zheng's house, he saw Guanshi Zheng, who had changed his clothes, hovering near the screen wall at the entrance. When he saw Li Tang coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and then shouted into the courtyard: "Master, Li Tang is here!"
At this time, Pei Yuanying and Zheng Yaozu were sitting opposite each other in the main hall, and the two guards stood beside Pei Yuanying, with a strong feeling.The sense of oppression made Zheng Yaozu dare not raise his head. As soon as they heard that Li Tang was coming, the two stood up to greet him. Zheng Yaozu suppressed a smile and pretended to be unhappy. How could Tang come to Zheng's house.
"Second Brother Pei, let me search for my younger brother. I just went to your house, and the concierge said that you came to the north, so I found out that you came to Zheng's house after asking all the way, alas."
"Li Tang, why are you here?"
Zheng Yaozu took the lead in answering the conversation, pretending to reject Li Tang with a tough attitude, Pei Yuanying saw that it was the same thing, let Li Tang into the main hall of Zheng's house, as if he was at his own home. Just when Li Tang was about to walk in, Zheng Yaozu pulled Li Tang's sleeve, Li Tang turned around and looked, Zheng Yaozu gave Li Tang a wink, expressing his helplessness and sadness, Li Tang understood, and immediately swaggered away After entering, Zheng Yaozu straightened his clothes, and walked in with a particularly disgusted face.
"Brother Li, why are you looking for me?"
"Second brother, sixth brother died yesterday, did you know?"
"What! Brother Six is ??dead? I don't know anything about what happened."
"Hey, Sixth Brother is really an iron-blooded man. To tell you the truth, after I left your house yesterday, I encountered an assassin along the way. It happened that Sixth Brother broke out halfway and repelled the assassin. However, he was also seriously injured. Send him to the hospital, but halfway through the people are already out of breath, I thought to send the body of the sixth brother to your house, let you bury it, but the dead is the big one, so I buried it."
"Ah? What happened last night? Weizhen envoy Liu Tong, what is he doing? Is the security in the town so bad? How long has it been? Two groups of assassins have come to assassinate you. Fortunately, last time Sixth Brother and Chu Tianwen are both here, this time Sixth Brother lost his life, next time oh, I have pity on my Sixth Brother's martial arts world, where is the grave? I can also pay homage to him."
"I burned Sixth Brother's body to ashes and brought it to you today."
As he said that, Li Tang untied the jar that he had just bought in the town from behind and handed it over. Pei Yuanying held the jar in doubt, the sealing mud on it was still wet. stop.
"Second brother, rest in peace for the deceased, such an older person lives in such a small house now, let sixth brother rest in peace."
"That's right, Brother Li, don't be too sad, matters of life and death, human nature, are all uncertain things, not to mention Sixth Brother died because of saving you, don't forget Sixth Brother's kindness. "
"Well, I will never forget Brother Six's life-saving grace."
Two "liars" who came and went in front of the bewildered Zheng Yaozu, both of them knew how Pei Liu died, but they just didn't say that Pei Liu committed suicide. If Pei Yuanying knew about it I'm afraid it will be difficult. Li Tang wants to use this excuse to make the favor of this matter into that he owes Pei Liu instead of Pei Yuanying. Pei Yuanying borrows the slope to go down the donkey. It was owed to me, Pei Yuanying. The two of them couldn't stop arguing, and entered into a stalemate with each other.
Just at this time, the steward Zheng from outside came in and said that lunch was ready, and Zheng Yaozu immediately ordered his servants to pass the dishes.
"Lieutenant Pei, let's have lunch here today. I have prepared some meager drinks and food here. I hope Captain Pei will not dislike you."
Pei Yuanying rubbed her stomach, feeling a little hungry, and said to Li Tang: "Brother Li, let's stay and eat together. Let's drink for a while at noon to pay homage to the spirit of Sixth Brother, and hope our friendship will last forever."
Li Tang looked at Zheng Yaozu. Zheng Yaozu had lost his previous disgusted expression. He lowered his head and smiled secretly, but suddenly became expressionless again. Li Tang smiled slightly and said to Pei Yuanying: "Very good, very good, I hope Zheng Da Young master, don't dislike me, a commoner, for dirtying your bowls and chopsticks."
"Hey, how could Yaozu be such a person? He has been studying his own business for the past few days, so why would he be disgusted by the people? If Yaozu ever felt sorry for your brother Li, it would be for my sake, Pei Yuanying. Now, just forgive him, I also hope that the two of you can get back together and stop having conflicts," Pei Yuanying turned to look at Zheng Yaozu, "Isn't it, Yaozu?"
"Yes, yes, what Lieutenant Pei said is true, I also hope that Li Tang will be magnanimous, and don't worry about some small things. It was all my fault before."
"Hey, it's no big deal, what's the matter, I don't remember why, come, come, drink and drink."
Li Tang took the lead to pick up the wine glass, and drank it by himself regardless of the other two, Pei Yuanying laughed and said: "It must be my brother Li, who is broad-minded and accepts all rivers, we have to learn how to order, haha. "
Zheng Yaozu immediately echoed: "What Lieutenant Pei said is that Li Tang has a big heart, and it's me who has a small belly."
During the banquet, the three of them drank and ate vegetables. Pei Yuanying poured wine on the ground to pay homage to Pei Liu, and Li Tang, who had no sense of restraint, also poured a glass. Already sweating.?He echoed: "What Lieutenant Pei said is that Li Tang has a big heart, and it's me who has a small belly."
