In the sixth year of Yonghui (655 AD), the ninth day of the ninth month, at three o'clock in the morning.

In the southwest of the east city of Chang'an City, opposite the walls of Chang'an County, is a street of Chang'an City Restaurant. The wine is fragrant, the wine flags sway, and the guests are greeted and shouted endlessly. In the middle of the wine street, Lulin Restaurant, three-story Red Building, is decorated atmospheric and stands out from the crowd. The signature wine is red sorghum, the signature dish is chicken mushroom, and the signature fruit is Wuzhou Da Ya Pear.

There is a white-faced man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, national face, and a bit energetic. He placed a wine jar on the table, held a wine bowl with his left hand, and took a few sips from time to time. He held a strange object in his right hand, with round mahogany like the mouth of the bowl, and a famous carving pattern, high-end, atmospheric and high-end.

After drinking all the wine in the bowl, touch your left cheek first, then your nose and mouth. Touch your facial features, smile at the disc, sometimes wink and sometimes grin. Put your fingernails into your mouth, pick out the leaves between your teeth, and apply them on the table, making you look like a mentally ill.

Suddenly, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his left thumb and middle finger flicked back and forth. He pulled down suddenly, pulled off a strand of hair, and pulled three times in a row, pulling off a piece of white hair. He stretched out his tongue and licked the ends of his hair, and gently stuck to his chin, as if he was a white beard. He stroked it seriously and giggled again. He was indeed a mentally ill patient.

The boy said to himself: What a clear mirror, it is a hundred times better than a bronze mirror. The material is crystal, the back is specially treated and the precious mahogany carved frame is really valuable. The two fangs are so stupid that they only sell for five stanzas. They either don’t know the goods or the mirror is unknown.

The more I think about it, the more I feel more and more happy. I carefully wrap it up and put it in my arms. I have red sorghum in my left hand and big duck pear in my right hand, and I have a big feast on my left and feast. Tomorrow, my grandmother will use a gift with a treasure mirror, and I will definitely like it. She is blowing the wind beside her pillow and asking her grandfather for an errand. It should be no problem.

After half a pound of wine, my stomach was gluttonous and I had the desire to go to the cottage. The boy frowned, red sorghum and duck pears, which had always been eaten like this. His abdomen became more and more swelling and painful. He didn't have time to think about it, so he covered his stomach and went out. He ran to the end of the corridor, closed the wooden door of the cottage, and squatted in the clean toilet.

After about half a quarter of an hour, I opened the door of the thatched room, covered my abdomen and had a bitter face, and went to the doctor to ask for medicine. I passed by the private room of Tianzi, and vaguely heard the name of my grandfather, and couldn't help but stop. I listened carefully and said that Li Jie was indeed aware of his handsome face as dark as the bottom of the pot, and his anger rushed to the cover of the sky. The slaves in the field were so bold, did they think they had a long life?

This person should be angry, and his gossip is annoying, not to mention that his grandfather is his grandfather. His name is Li Jingye, 19 years old this year, his ancestral home is Lihu County, Caozhou, namely Dongming County, Heze City, Shandong Province; his father's name is Li Zhen, and he was appointed as the governor of Zezhou (Jincheng City, Shanxi Province); his grandfather's name is Li Jie, Sikong, Shangzhuguo, Duke of England, and a well-deserved boss.

Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there are definitely no more than five people who dare to name Li Ji. When they think of this, they are furious and see no one on the left and right, they tiptoed toward each other. They gently stretched their heads, put their ears on the window frames, and listened to the dialogue in the private room.

Voice A: Everyone says that the British Duke has expanded his territory, made outstanding achievements, and has become generals and ministers, and has been deeply trusted by the court. In fact, in my opinion, he is just a thief, with all his thief in his bones. At the age of twelve or thirteen, he is a barbarian thief, and he is indiscriminate, and he will kill everyone; at the age of 14 or 5, he is a thief, and he is in a bad mood, so he will kill people.

Voice B: Brother Changsun, you are drunk too much, don’t talk nonsense, don’t talk badly behind your back. We should respect Mr. Li, and give him enough respect. Mr. Li’s military achievements are brilliant, and it is the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty and the standard for our generation to learn.

This sounds comfortable, Li Jingye is full of pride, and soon he is shady again. He hates his voice very familiar, and is his mortal enemy Changsun Yan... It seems that it is not right. Changsun Yan is a reckless man and can't speak in a genius. Could it be that the person in the private room is his son Changsun Chong, and the father and son have a similar voice.

Voice A: The Governor Wu doesn't know that Li Ji was originally named Xu Maogong. He was young and wealthy, and Jili was thousands of minutes old. At the end of Emperor Yang of Sui, Li Ji, who was seventeen years old, turned to Zhai Rang when he saw the world was in chaos. Ordinary people were desperate. Li Ji was born in a wealthy family, but he was willing to be a thief, which was due to his thief nature.

Li Jingye thought about it and confirmed that the voice B was Wukang. Jiangnan had a strong accent, and he was appointed as the governor of Yuezhou and also served as the governor of Wuzhou. My favorite red sorghum was said to have invented it and given it to his sister Wu Zhaoyi. It is said that he came to the capital recently and ran for the deposed king and Li Wu, and went through the Changsun family's path. It is reasonable.

The voice of hatred continued: Li Ji joined the thief army and gave Zhai Rang advice, saying that the nearby place was your hometown and it was not suitable to invade the villagers. Go to Songzhou and Zhengzhou, the two states were close to the canal, and there were many business trips in the past, which was convenient for plundering official and private money and property. Governor Wu, listen, is this human word? The robbers of official and private money and property are fully exposed.

Li Jingye, who eavesdropped on the eavesdropping, gradually gritted his teeth and listened to Wu Kang's persuasion: Brother Jingming eats more and drinks less, and he will get drunk. The robbery of public and private property is to prepare for the great cause, and people's lives are as cheap as dogs in troubled times. In my opinion, don't blame Mr. Li, who is loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, we are not qualified to blame him.

Li Jingye's face was ferocious, Jingming was the word Changsun Chong. You are a slave in the field. It's outrageous that you drink a few more glasses of peeing and slander my grandfather. However, Governor Wu, who speaks for his grandfather, is a gentleman. Changsun Chong waits for me and reports it when I go back and leave it to my grandfather to decide.

Before he moved, Changsun Chong continued to fart: Li Gong was loyal, filial, kind and righteous, and laughed at me, that farmer slave was not worthy! Let’s talk about the word “loyal” first, and he first defected to Zhai Rang. Seeing that Li Mi was powerful, he advised Zhai Rang to join Li Mi. The farmer slave had some skills and repelled the Sui army several times and was named Donghai County Duke.

More than a year later, in Jiangdu, Yu Wen and killed Emperor Yang of Sui, and Yang Tongdong of Yue ascended the throne. They pardoned Li Mi and appointed Li Mi as Duke of Wei, and appointed Li Ji as the general of the Right Marquis of Wu, and ordered them to attack Yu Wenji. They were originally a hero of anti-Sui, but turned into a general of the Sui Dynasty. It was ridiculous... Governor Wu, don't be anxious, listen to me to continue.

Li Mi defeated Yu Wenji and was defeated by Wang Shichong, so he gathered up his troops and surrendered to our Tang Dynasty. His original territory was occupied by Li Ji. The cunning old thief recorded the prefectures and counties in the jurisdiction and counted the military and civilian household registrations. He pretended to report to Li Mi, but in fact he told our dynasty that I, Li Ji, were going to surrender again.

Emperor Gaozu valued him very much and gave him the Li family, and he also changed his name to Li Shiji. Later, he said that Dou Jiande captured Yu Wenji alive and marched to attack Li Ji, and the old thief fell into a desperate situation. Emperor Gaozu treated him well. Anyone with righteousness should rather be broken than a complete set of treasury.

But he didn't think so, what morality and integrity, what court and emperor are like, compared to their capital and life, are all dung. So the old thief defected to Dou Jiande. How dare he ask the Governor Wu, is he worthy of "loyalty" if he is so confronted and so capricious?

The atmosphere was very depressing, the corridor was very quiet, and the sudden bang seemed particularly harsh. Li Jingye turned around and ran away, cursing that he couldn't stop his feet. As soon as his head left the door, he heard Wu Kang say: It was probably Xiao Xu who made trouble. He was Lu San's pet cat, a very naughty little guy. Brother Changsun, don't care, let's continue drinking, I'll toast you.

With the crisp sound of clinking cups, Li Jingye breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and continued to eavesdrop on Changsun's fart: Dou Jiande arrested Xu Gai, the father of the old thief, and took him as a hostage in the army, allowing the old thief to guard Li Yang. Later, Dou Jiande fought with our court and gradually showed a decline. Seeing that the situation was not good, the old thief fled to Chang'an alone and surrendered to Emperor Gaozu again...

Governor Wu, look, is this a person doing? He ignores his past promises, ignores his father's life and death, only cares about his own life and life, and only serves the strong, and is a mother with milk. Such an old thief is capricious, so how can he be called loyal? How can he be called filial? How can he be considered a biological father and abandon his biological mother?

After a brief quiet, Wu Kang did not respond and kept urging him to drink. When the wine glasses were met, Changsun Chong sneered: loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. If we talk about benevolence, he is even less worthy. As the saying goes, one son-in-law has half a son. But in his opinion, there is only one daughter, and there are many son-in-laws.

His second daughter, Li, married the Hongnong Du family, and was considered a match. In November of the 18th year of Zhenguan, Taizong appointed Zhang Liang as the chief marching chief of the Pyongyang Road. Li Ji, the chief marching chief of the Liaodong Road, led 60,000 troops to attack Liaodong, and worked together with Zhang Liang.

Li Ji recruited his son-in-law and asked him to go to war with the army, which was called earning military merits. You also know that the general took over the army and first rectified military affairs, and secondly established majesty. How to establish authority is the simplest way to kill people and sacrifice flags. Those who are sacrificed must carefully choose and must have enough identities to shock the entire army.

His son-in-law went to the war for the first time and made some mistakes. He beheaded and sacrificed the flag. The weight was large enough and the effect was very good. The military power was successfully established. In fact, in my opinion, summoning his son-in-law to follow the army was not to let him gild him, but to plan to borrow the flag from his son-in-law's head... Don't rush to defend yourself, let's have another two drinks and listen to me continue to say.

The wine glasses clinked and the farts sounded: In the first month of the 20th year of Zhenguan, Xueyantuo's tribe was in turmoil; in June, Taizong attacked Xueyantuo. Xueyantuo fled westward, supported the new Khan, and sent envoys to write to the court to request a house in Yu Governor Mountain; Taizong sent Li Ji to appease him, but Xue Yantuo was unstable, and Li Ji decided to start the war again.

It was time for the flag sacrifice again, and Niangzi Li's new husband failed to get up in time and was pushed out of the gate to behead. This poor worm was exactly the same as his predecessor and was also deceived into the military camp. From then on, it seemed that the death of the two sons-in-law was not a coincidence at all, but a deliberate murder.

In March last year, Mrs. Li remarried Du Huaigong, and the two seniors were in front of me. They hoped that the poor Xiao Du would not become the third unlucky guy. Li Ji was cruel and ruthless and specialized in attacking his family. How could he be called benevolent? So I said, a British husband, an old thief, unfaithful, unkind and unrighteous, and a complete hypocrite...

"Don't let your mother's stinky farts", the roar was like thunder, and the door slammed open. Li Jingye's facial features were ferocious, and he rushed over with his fists. Wu Kang suddenly stood up, spread his arms and stopped him, and his voice and expression were harsh: Who are you, what do you want to do?

Li Jingye screamed strangely, and the two hugged each other and tangled for more than five minutes. Wu Kang let out a whine and was thrown far away, and his back hit the pillar. The table was full of delicious food, someone buried his face with his arms, and he lies silently on the table.

It looks quite like it. Xiao Li is so murderous. He strode to the edge of the table. He grabs his hair with his left hand and picks up his head to see that it is indeed Changsun Chong. The damn field slave, who slanders Naiweng's grandfather, do you think he will let you go when he pretends to be drunk?

He swung his palm-pin fan with his right hand, and his arched left and right, and his bloody handprints quickly spread to his face. Changsun was unconscious, and Li Jingye was furious, so you turtle, then pretended to me. He slapped a few more times, his cheeks quickly raised, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

"Hey, why are you doing? He is the legitimate son of Secretary-General Sun Chong, Changsun Wuji." Wu Kang hugged his waist and pulled him back. Li Jingye did not let go, pulled Changsun Chong's hair bun and turned over the entire dining table. This time it became more lively, with the wine, dishes, dishes, and dishes all hit Changsun Chong.

Li Jingye screamed strangely, knowing that he was Changsun Chong, and he was the one who hit him. He shook Wu Kang again, gritted his teeth and raised his feet, and kicked Changsun Chong in the back. Wu Kang fell down again, got up with a roar, blocked Xiao Li, and screamed in a loud voice: Kill someone, kill someone, come quickly...

The person who came here, we have been cleared by us. You are too bad. Erxian, who was hiding under the bed, bit his lips tightly, and covered his mouth with his hands. His eyes were full of smiles, and his donkey face was distorted because the picture was too funny.

The unlucky Li Jingye is not smart when he goes out. The boss is extremely powerful and is the number one strong player in Wuzhou. With your small body, you can't break free. He will pick you up with one hand, which is similar to carrying a chicken. But the boss is even more coquettish. Can't you persuade the fight well? Don't step on your face.

Changsun Chong is smart and dares to eat Wuyan's things, which makes your mouth bleed. In fact, when you invite you to the meeting, you are not going to go into the back door, but to ask you to be beaten. Since entering the private room, the boss has only talked nonsense and never mentioned deposed Wang Liwu, but just kept urging you to drink.

After a few glasses of wine, I found the right time to secretly apply a sweating pill. This medicine is amazing. It is matched by Li Chunfeng, and the size of his nails can make the bullock dizzy. When Zhuji fought against plague, the boss was poured by the princess medicine, and the whip and wax took turns, which almost killed the person.

The boss met the princess’ love girl under the wife’s nose just to get sweating pills. After designing Changsun Chong, he designed Li Jingye, and he was also brainless. The crystal treasure mirror was ground into a whole piece of crystal, which took more than half a year to be a gift for Zhaoyi. All fools know that the priceless treasure mirror could only be sold for five silos?

You have laxatives in your wine, and after you get rid of your stomach, you leave the cottage and deliberately let you hear it. Of course, it is not Changsun Chong who says those words, but my second son. I have unique skills. As long as it is a sound, you can imitate it and make it real.

The room was crackling, Erxing smiled and his heart was filled with haze. The purpose of this situation was to create conflicts for Changsun Wuji and Li Ji and make them stand against each other. Brother Wuji opposed the deposed Wang Liwu, Li Ji was a turtle with his head shrunk, and the boss wanted to pull him into the water.

Is it really worth offending two important officials to help Wu Zhaoyi? If the matter is exposed, neither Changsun Wuji nor the old fox Li Ji will let him go. Erxian was confused for a moment and felt that it would not be exposed. Pinglang would deal with the person selling mirrors.

Seeing that it was almost the same, Li Jingye was taken away, and the sound source quickly went downstairs. Erxian immediately crawled out, glanced at Changsun Chong, and spit out thick phlegm on his face. He walked around carefully, took off his shoes and took them in his hand, went downstairs to the backyard, and ran away from the back door.

Along the way, I met the Wuhou of the brigade, and sarcastically sarcastically, and quickly returned to the Xiuzhenfang. When I saw Qian Shun and Pinglang, I made an OK gesture, and the two of them replied with the like gesture. I walked into the backyard room, inserted the door and started whispering.

They waited until dusk, but the boss still did not come back. The three of them were anxious. Finally, they reached an agreement to tell their wife about what happened today. They asked her to find Mr. Cui and Yang to inquire about the situation in the palace, so that they would not cause any problems.

Their worries did not happen. At this moment, the west inner palace of the palace was nervous and funny. Li Jiu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Li Ji and Changsun Wuji all closed their eyes and refused to speak. If you observe carefully, Brother Wuji's goatee was trembling slightly. General Hou Wei looked at the sky, Yu Zhining looked at the ground, and Wu Kang knelt down and said nothing.

Changsun Chong was wrapped in bandages, his head swollen into a pig's head, and his eyes were full of tears. Li Jingye was very sad and told the situation at that time, adding fuel to the fire, and burst into tears. Halfway through, Li Ji's beard also trembled slightly. Li Jiu immediately stopped him, let Wu Kang get up, and asked lightly: "Wu Aiqing, why did you look for Changsun Chong?"

Wu Kang replied respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, I am looking for Changsun Jian for Wu Zhaoyi. My aunt visited the Taiwei several times, but was rejected harshly and was depressed all day long. I asked Changsun Jian and asked him to speak a few good words for Zhaoyi in front of the Taiwei."

After the words finished, he snorted coldly, and Changsun Wuji came from Changsun Wuji. Li Jiu's face looked slightly better, and his eyes flashed with praise, and he looked at Changsun Chong: "Is what Wukang said true? Is what Li Jingye said true? Are you going to Lulin Restaurant, do you plan to accept Wukang?"

After several questions, Changsun Chong was confused and endured the pain all over his body, crying: "Report to Your Majesty, what Wu Kang said is true. But I went to the appointment and had no promise. I just wanted to see the "Duck Head Pill Tie". After we met, we chatted for a few words, but couldn't get used to drinking red sorghum, and we soon got drunk."

Li Jiu looked at General Hou Wei, who quickly clasped his fists: "After investigation, I asked Changsun Jian's housekeeper, what the two said was true. Governor Wu looked for Xu Shangshu, bought Wang Xianzhi's motto treasures, and sent someone to give them to Changsun Jian. He lied that there were motto treasures, so he asked Changsun Jian to meet, and Changsun Jian also agreed."

Motivating General Hou Wei to retreat, Li Jiu asked Changsun Quan again: "What did you talk about after meeting, how much wine did you drink, and when did you get drunk? Do you remember what happened after you get drunk, and have you insulted Sikong?"

Changsun Chong thought hard and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, after we meet, we drink two cups of etiquette. When we learn that there is no "Duck Head Ball Tie", it is not easy to leave immediately. If you drink another five or six cups, you will be unconscious. I can guarantee that I did not speak rudely. Li Jingye slandered me and asked Your Majesty to make the decision!"

Li Jingye was dissatisfied, and Li Ji stopped him. Brother Wuji turned around and looked at Li Jingye: "Cheng'er has always been humble and will not hurt others. This matter is too coincidental, and there must be something strange about it. The so-called seeing is true and hearing is false. Since it is eavesdropping, it is not enough to be evidence."

Li Jiu summoned General Hou Wei again, and the latter told the truth: "Hou Wei carefully inspected the room, and there was no third person in the dark, nor did he secretly tell the secret room. The bad men in Dali Temple carefully compared the footprints, but no third person was found. The person who sold the mirror had been found. After being interrogated by Dali Temple, the mirror was picked up."

Wu Kang felt uncomfortable when he heard this. That brother had suffered a lot. He didn't listen to Pinglang's advice and did not kill anyone to silence him, just because he trusted his brother. Thinking of this, he secretly said sorry and reported respectfully: "That treasure mirror is for my sister. I lost it yesterday. I have reported the case to Hou Wei. Now it has been bought by Brother Li, and that is Brother Li's. I'll go back to cancel the case."

At this point, everyone also believed that Changsun Chong made a mistake after drinking and was knocked out by Li Jingye, which led to the tragedy that followed. Li Jiu had a headache, looked up at Yu Zhining, and said lightly: "Yu Aiqing thought, what should he do?"
Chapter completed!
