Chapter 930 Comparison in the Tavern
In the palace, Zhu Yeer reported to Li Fengniang about what happened in the Xin'an County Prince's Mansion today. Although the specific inside story was not clear, if you touch this kind of thing, you will know what Ye Qing, Han Tuozhou and Shi Miyuan appeared in the Xin'an County Prince's Mansion for?
Li Fengniang had a smug and satisfied smile on her cheek. Concubine Huang's death seemed to have caused her a big heart. She also knew very well that among all the opportunities over the years, there was no more suitable opportunity than to get rid of Concubine Huang last night.
No matter what Ye Qing went to the Prince of Xin'an, Li Fengniang believed that Ye Qing would have to help him clean up the mess after getting rid of Concubine Huang.
"Dietly died of Concubine Huang's violent illness, the court meeting was held ten days later, early October. Since there is still some time now... I will send an order to Ye Qing, and I will have time to summon him to the palace in the next two days." Li Fengniang admired the nails that the phoenix flower had just dyed, and said lightly.
Zhu Yeer nodded silently and then withdrew from the inner hall.
"Since you have me in your heart, I will not take advantage of you Ye Qing. I will just let you meet the British Duke once." Li Fengniang still admired her newly dyed nails and said to herself.
On the other hand, Ye Qing, who had not reached any agreement with Shi Miyuan, would not start to seriously think about how to completely get rid of the constraints of the court or Shi Miyuan after leaving Yongjin Tower.
Zhong Can was already waiting for Ye Qing under Yongjin Tower, and Zhong Cheng had already returned to his third aunt's tavern.
After saying goodbye to the proud Shi Miyuan, and then watching Shi Miyuan's carriage leave, Ye Qing still had a thoughtful smile on his lips. Until now, he has not figured out what the purpose of Shi Miyuan's banquet was tonight.
He believed that Shi Miyuan was not trying to retreat to the point of being in trouble. The latter was showing off his power in front of him, so that he could understand that even on Huainan Road, Ye Qing had no way to deal with Shi Miyuan now.
"We still underestimate Shi Miyuan." Ye Qing got on the carriage, watched Zhong Can turn around and sighed.
"Some days ago, my wife was worried about the issue of Guanshan, so the city of Lin'an would naturally relax a little." Zhong Jian, holding a long whip, responded to Ye Qing's words.
"This makes sense, but it's enough to see that Shi Miyuan's scheming is becoming more and more unfathomable. After drinking all night, I still couldn't catch even a little bit of it that could counter him. This is not a good sign." Ye Qing leaned against the carriage and began to think about what to do next.
It was already dark, and the Yu Street tonight was naturally much more lively than last night. However, if it were the hustle and bustle a few days ago, the Yu Street tonight still seemed to be a bit sparse and deserted.
The shops on both sides are basically open, but from the lazy guys, you can see that most shops on the Imperial Street tonight may not have a very good business, so there are naturally few customers.
A slightly familiar figure stopped at the entrance of a tavern, looking like he was waiting for someone.
Ye Qing looked at Tang Wan, and Tang Wan also looked at Ye Qing with a smile. The big stone in her heart finally dropped it. She was somewhat lucky. It seemed that she had bet right today and could "meet Ye Qing unexpectedly" here.
The carriage finally stopped after walking some distance. Tang Wan was still standing at the door of the tavern. She watched Ye Qing jump off the shaft, and the corner of her mouth was still carrying that easy-going smile that was unforgettable since the first meeting.
"Such coincidence?" Ye Qing said with a casual smile.
Tang Wan saluted again and said gentlely: "Master Ye is laughing. I am really shameless and went to the adult's mansion to pay my respects late at night, so I had to... try this stupid method to see if I can meet you again."
Tang Wan's words are neither humble nor arrogant, and even have the meaning of hiding needles in the cotton.
When she first met Ye Qing, it seemed that Ye Qing met Tang Wan who broke the door and bought wine all morning when she passed by. But these few years have passed, and Tang Wan had already learned from Zhao Shicheng that it was Zhao Shicheng who asked Ye Qing to find her whereabouts.
So their first encounter was not considered a coincidence. This time, they met again at the entrance of this tavern, but from Ye Qing, who was intent to Tang Wanwei, who had the intention, let the two meet here again.
Ye Qing naturally understood the five words "Meet again" that Tang Wan had bitten heavily, and smiled distractedly and said, "Okay, since that's the case, what if we are even, please give you a drink?"
"Then thank you Lord Ye." Tang Wan smiled and looked back at the tavern where there were not many guests.
The lanterns on both sides of the tavern entrance were a little dim. The shopkeeper and the clerk in the tavern naturally couldn't see the faces of a man and a woman. However, after Ye Qing and Tang Wan stepped into the tavern one after another, the shopkeeper and the clerk instantly opened their mouths.
Looking at the tall young man in front of me, with a faint sense of uneven power, and then looking at the graceful and petite, gentle and beautiful woman next to me, the shopkeeper and his friend seemed to be in the morning with snowflakes floating a few years ago.
"What, are you going to close?" Ye Qing asked, looking at the shopkeeper and the clerk who were slapped with wide mouth.
"Ah, no... sir, please come here." The shopkeeper with a big mouth responded hurriedly.
Ye Qing only remembers this tavern, but his appearances of the shopkeeper and the clerk were already unclear, while Tang Wan always remembers the faces of the shopkeeper and the clerk of the tavern.
"Sir, Madam..." Ye Qing was about to walk to the wine table not far away, and stopped again when he heard the shopkeeper's name.
.
However, Tang Wan didn't mind as much as Ye Qing. When she saw Ye Qing turn her head and look at the shopkeeper again, the scene of Ye Qing beating Han Tuozhou's servant in front of the county prince's mansion appeared in her mind today.
I was afraid that Ye Qing, the wolf, would be a difficult person in the shopkeeper of the tavern because of his name, so I directly recognized the shopkeeper's name to them. Before Ye Qing asked back, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, the shopkeeper, bring you the good wine."
The shopkeeper looked at Ye Qing and asked with a frown slightly, and his heart suddenly became uneasy. He didn't know whether he said the wrong thing or his attitude was not respectful enough, and he offended the young court official again.
Fortunately, the beautiful lady's rescue made the shopkeeper dare not look at Ye Qing anymore, and hurriedly turned around and went to the back to get the wine himself.
"Mrs. Zhao is so kind. This makes Ye take advantage of you in the shopkeeper's mouth." Ye Qing sat down at the table and said with a smile.
"It should be because I am tall, let alone how can I get into the eyes of the adults with the posture of Pu Liu?" Tang Wan didn't feel embarrassed, not to mention that with her experience and talent, she could have been able to deal with such things as verbal things for a long time.
A few plates of regular side dishes, a pot of wine with a strong aroma was brought over by the shopkeeper. After putting it on, he said softly again: "Sir, please use it slowly. If you need anything, just say hello to the smaller ones."
"Thank you then." Ye Qing said with a smile. Tang Wan opposite him was also smiling implicitly, and no one took this opportunity to explain the shopkeeper's misunderstanding about them.
The few tables of guests in the tavern would occasionally look at Ye Qing and Tang Wan, but compared to the soft conversation between Ye Qing and Tang Wan, the voices of other drinkers were no less than the loud voices of drinkers in the San Aunt Tavern.
This also makes the tavern with few guests seem quite lively. From time to time, you can hear some drunken guests, loudly slashing their fists, and then the loser will regret it, and even tremble your hands and blame yourself for being careless, or cause a kind laugh from others.
"Mr. Ye is afraid he rarely comes to such a tavern to drink?" Tang Wan asked first.
"Not the case, I drank wine in such a tavern at noon today." Ye Qing picked up the wine glass and said with a casual smile.
The sound of the two people talking was only heard by each other. The noise of the drinker next to him seemed to be isolated from the world of the two. A man and a woman sat quietly in the corner drinking and talking leisurely.
At this time, the guests in the tavern, in addition to playing tricks and drinking, were talking about the incident that happened at Donghuamen and Jiahuimen last night.
Obviously gossip is human nature. No matter where you are, no matter who you are, you have a curiosity of gossip, or you are full of interest in government affairs.
So when Tang Wan handed Ye Qing the paper like a death talisman in her and Zhao Shicheng's eyes, the tavern was now filled with various "revealings" about what happened last night.
In the mouths of these drinkers, it seemed as if they had seen it with their own eyes last night. While they were spitting everywhere, they were all talking about the eloquence and vividness.
"When Ye Qing first returned to Lin'an, I expected that something that happened last night would happen. But then again, I didn't expect that the noise was so loud last night. Not only was it a knife, but even life had happened several times." A drunkard drank a glass of wine and immediately spoke loudly at the other drunkards.
Ye Qing, who took Tang Wan's paper, shook his hand inexplicably, and then, under Tang Wan's somewhat nervous gaze, looked at the table of drinkers who were talking about last night with a relaxed smile.
"Who is Ye Qing? He is a master who never suffers losses. It can be seen from his fierce and evil appearance. Otherwise, how could he have left a reputation for being cruel and ruthless to both his own people and Jin people? Everyone, it's not that I am a bragging person. I have seen Ye Qing several times. This time I returned to Lin'an, and I happened to meet him the next day. At that time, surrounded by a large group of soldiers, I always had a gloomy face, and it looked like I was coming back to kill someone. I guessed that there was another murder in Lin'an City. As expected, what? The teahouse that night suffered a disaster last night, but it was no accident."
"Now, there are only two soldiers under the entire Lin'an City, plus a Ministry of War. But let's forget about the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the imperial guards. Even the gangsters entrenched in the big wazi are not afraid of them. So I don't need to say, you can guess who Ye Qing had a conflict with last night, right? Yes...yes, it's Han Tuozhou."
"Who won yesterday and who lost?" the drinker who had a good deal began to ask.
"Is that too much?" Another drinker seemed a little disdainful: "Of course Ye Qing lost. You don't think about it. Ye Qing could compare with Han Tuozhou? How many years have the Han family been in the court? Ye Qing has only made his name in the court for a few years? The Han family is a noble family and has a huge power. After so many years, the Han family is like a hundred-year-old tree in the court. Ye Qing is said to be a kind-hearted tree, but in the reign of Emperor Emperor, Ye Qing was no different from a poor family. And don't forget that Ye Qing was just a small imperial guard. I have seen him patrol several times in the yard where I lived. But he is not good at being a good person. He didn't expect that Ye Qing didn't know what kind of luck he had left, and he actually had his current status."
Almost all the topics are centered around Ye Qing and Han Tuozhou. Of course, from their origins to now, who has more power and whose official positions are mostly compared by the drinkers. Even though they have several wives and concubines, they are compared by these good-for-gotten drinkers.
Who will win or lose?
Of course, after all, in everyone's mouth, although Ye Qing has made his mark in recent years and has a very fast rise, Han Tuozhou, who has a huge influence and complex network of relations in the court, still has a lot of notice.
Even if most of the drinkers in the tavern are ordinary people, it does not mean that they will stand on Ye Qing's side. Instead, they almost agreed that Ye Qing and Han Tuozhou would end up ruining sooner or later.
Overestimating their abilities, mayflies shaking trees, arrogance and other labels were also placed on Ye Qing from their mouths. In their opinion, Ye Qing was obviously blinded by power, and after winning several victories with the Jin people, recovering some lost ground, he began to become a little arrogant.
Tang Wan looked at Ye Qing with some concern and began to regret why she met Ye Qing here. The drinkers here didn't know the true story, but Tang Wan knew it clearly.
If Ye Qing really doesn't have the strength to fight Han Tuozhou, how could he dare to punch and kick other people's servants in front of Han Tuozhou?
The so-called beating of dogs depends on the owner, and Ye Qing dares to be so unscrupulous, is he really arrogant? Tang Wan is absolutely vetoed. In her opinion, even if Han Tuozhou is indeed background and has a strong power in the court, Ye Qing, who is now vaguely in power, may not lose to Han Tuozhou.
"So Mrs. Zhao, do you still think you are looking for the right person to find me?" Ye Qing held the paper in his hand and shook it, and continued, "If you regret it now, it's still time, and I promise that nothing will happen today."
Tang Wan looked at Ye Qing, shook her head firmly, and said lightly: "I am not gambled, but my husband and I have always been on Lord Ye's side, so there is no question of regret or not. I also believe that with my wisdom, I will never lose to Lord Han in the court."
"Do you know what Madam said?" Ye Qing looked at the paper, then looked at Tang Wan and asked.
From the time Tang Wan appeared to take out this piece of paper, Ye Qing knew what the couple had had, so he didn't believe it at all. On his side, Ye Qing, it was Tang Wan and his wife who had made a decision long ago. After all, if this were the case, Tang Wan would not have chosen to meet him in this meaningful place.
"The prince doesn't know for the time being, but I and the prince, are there any other way to go now?" Tang Wan asked helplessly with a smile.
"Of course, there is such a place in the court where you fight and form a clique for personal gain, so naturally there are more backers to the wife and the prince, and it doesn't have to stand with Ye." Ye Qing pointed to the roof, meaning that there is still a royal supporter for the royal family.
Tang Wan shook her head and smiled, saying, "We couple just want to live a peaceful life. Husband does his best to do his job. It is enough to take care of the Prince's Mansion in an orderly manner. As for the rest, we are powerless, so we hope that Lord Ye can do it."
"Do you know this matter is very difficult?" Ye Qing sighed. He understood what Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng thought, but Shi Miyuan has always liked to kill people with a soft knife. For example, this simple piece of paper is also a big problem for Ye Qing.
If Zhao Shicheng does not allow him to report this matter to the royal family, it is equivalent to hindering Shi Miyuan from being the British Duke and the future considerations of the royal family. It is very likely that Shi Miyuan will take advantage of the situation and seize the opportunity to attack himself.
What's more, at this subtle moment when the dragon body of the Saint is not at peace, Shi Miyuan's actions, no matter how they look at it, are from the perspective of completely considering the royal family.
And if Ye Qing wants to take this matter down, he will probably be charged with disturbing the royal family.
"Mr. Ye directly recognized this piece of paper?" Tang Wan frowned. She could not have imagined that there was a murderous intent in it that she could not see.
"Shi Miyuan is extremely cunning, and his methods are extremely clever. He never does things that are unsure. Even if I want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I will not get any benefits, and it may cause trouble." Looking at Tang Wan who was not sure, Ye Qing sighed and continued: "Since Shi Miyuan has dared to show the four people above, it means that these four people have been pulled by him by him. Now they are probably all grateful to him. So even if I take it for myself, I am just making wedding dresses for him. Of course, if Mrs. Zhao doesn't believe it, she can ask the prince to test Han Xiangzhou, the head of Zongzheng Temple, tomorrow to know whether what Ye said is true or false."
Tang Wan's expression became solemn, and she no longer had the ease that she thought things would be easy to solve when she met Ye Qing just now.
"Mr. Ye, is there really no way? I and my husband really don't want to be implicated in the court for this..." Wang Wan asked helplessly.
"I have been involved. I want to escape unstoppable. It is obviously impossible to go back to these days when nothing happened. However..." Ye Qing paused and said, "If Shi Miyuan's situation is broken, there is no way."
"I would like to ask Lord Ye to give me advice." Tang Wan asked hurriedly.
"Along with the list of four people on this piece of paper, and the report of the royal family making the Duke of England the crown prince, it can be reported to the royal family together." Ye Qing's words were like a thunderclap, and a thunderclap sounded in Tang Wan's heart.
