The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 319 Secret Discussion

Li Ying sighed deeply, "I was also taken care of by her when I was young, how could I have thought that things would come to this point!" There was endless loss and melancholy in his words.

"Second brother has always been resolute and decisive. This is very similar to the father, but sometimes he feels soft-hearted. What is the relationship with that treacherous concubine?" Li Yao chuckled a few times, disapproving of the second brother's words.

Li Ying frowned and didn't answer, feeling very sad in his heart.Eighteenth younger brother Shou Wang Li Mao has always been respectful and respectful to his elder brother, the crown prince. He has never underestimated his position as crown prince by relying on his father's favor, and he loves this younger brother very much. What happened to his biological mother Concubine Li back then, maybe I will treat him like a younger brother, and Concubine Hui may also regard me as her own son!With emotion, he thumped the wooden table heavily with his fist.

"Let's not talk so much, the most urgent thing is to prevent the emperor from deposing Zhang Jiuling!" Li Ying said one last sentence, then drank the sake on the case, turned and left.

Li Yao and Li Ju looked at each other for a while, and Li Ju said regretfully: "Second brother must be upright in everything he does. If you ask me, let's find someone to plot against Li Linfu. Isn't the matter over? Now we have to persuade father Your Majesty, what a hassle!"

Li Ju muttered a few words, and ironed the wine on the small stove.Li Yao looked at the bright flames and remained silent.

Li Ying came out of the wine shop, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt refreshed, and the haze was gone.At this time, around the time of the Shangsi Festival, the streets are bustling with pedestrians. Both sides of the road are full of hawkers. The stalls are filled with rare treasures from various countries, such as Japanese knives from Japan, agates from the Western Regions, and red carpets from Persia. , Dashi's decorations... There are many foreigners with deep eyes and high noses among the people passing through.

Chang'an is now a veritable international metropolis. Goods from many countries are transferred here. The people in Chang'an have long been familiar with all kinds of people. There are a few clever people who have learned a little bit in order to sell more goods. Foreign words.

Li Ying was walking along this long street. Since he hadn't returned to Chang'an for a long time, he needed to check out the local customs and customs.Secondly, you should also appreciate the excitement of the Great Tang Wanfang coming to the court and the prosperity and peace.Unexpectedly, within a few steps, he was squeezed to the side of the road by a crowd of people. A group of men in different clothes were smiling and talking.In this pushing and shoving, more and more people flocked.

Li Ying frowned, thinking to himself: Could it be that someone was fighting in the street?Immediately followed behind the group of people, ready to step forward to find out.

After walking a few hundred meters, I saw a huge circle surrounded by the street corner, and there was a sea of ​​people inside and outside the circle. Those outside couldn't see what was going on. Li Ying divided the crowd with his hands, wondering what happened inside. What, why are there always frequent male laughter.

Those spectators are on the rise!He was very dissatisfied with Li Ying's pushing in. He cursed and wanted to show him some color, so he put his arms in front of him and wanted to throw Li Ying out, but before he got on Li Ying's wrist, he was caught by him. The brat in his eyes dislocated his wrists calmly, and those ruffians suffered a secret loss, knowing that they had encountered an expert, they didn't dare to make mistakes, and they all gave way to a small path.Li Ying followed the path and squeezed to the front.

"I gave you the money, why don't you go with me?" A man standing eight feet tall, with a big arm and a round waist, was naked on the upper body, only wearing a pair of long trousers, with his arms folded, and a straw stick in his mouth. Smiling and talking to a woman kneeling by the wall.

At first glance, this man was the restless ruffian in Chang'an City. Every time he said a word, the flesh on his face trembled, and the group of followers behind him let out a loud roar, smirking and whistling. Looking at the woman intently, Li Ying frowned.

The woman kneeling at the foot of the wall was dressed in white filial piety, and her long black hair hung behind her. She should be an unmarried girl. She lowered her head and couldn't see her expression, but her hands resting on the ground trembled uncontrollably, whether it was sadness or fear.In front of the girl was a broken straw mat, on which lay a person covered with a crumpled white cloth.It is expected to be the woman's father.

Sell ​​yourself to bury your father? !The situation is already clear.

Li Ying glanced at the straw mat again, the person lying inside was covered by a white cloth, and his face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of feet were exposed outside.The soles of the feet were thick and white, but they were already dry, presumably they had been dead for a long time.Seeing this, a casual sneer appeared on the corner of Li Ying's mouth.

The girl said in a trembling voice: "The money you gave is not enough to bury my father!"

"Not enough?" The ruffian spit out the straw, blew his nose and threw it on the ground, the disgusted people took a step back, "These silvers are enough to buy three or four thin-skinned coffins! How many times have you died?" Dad!"

"Haha!" The group of ruffians let out a roar of laughter.

The girl picked up the money with her hands, and said anxiously: "I... didn't lie, the money is really not enough! I... I will pay you back!"

"Return it to me?" The ruffian snorted, "I don't want money, I want people!" After saying that, he rubbed his hands on his trousers, grabbed the woman's wrist, and was about to force her away.

The crowd watching the excitement behind shouted: "You didn't pay enough money, don't take that girl away!"

"That's right! You have to be ashamed!"

"Bullying a weak woman in the street is not a good man's behavior!"

Everyone chattered and talked, cutting off the retreat of the ruffians.

It turned out that this girl had been selling her body to bury her father in this street early in the morning. Judging by her appearance, she was considered a sign. Someone had already wanted to buy it back to make a small child, but the price of this girl was too high, even asking for 300 taels of silver! 300 taels, you can buy a popular dancer when you go to the Diecui Pavilion, why buy a girl who sells herself to bury her father here?There are also a few old bustards from brothels who also came out to walk around a few times, saying that this girl is a beauty and a ruffian, and she will definitely become popular in Chang'an after going back to train her. They all became famous and the girl agreed, but it was all because she couldn't give 300 taels. rejected.In short, this girl just said, "As long as you give me 300 taels to bury my father, I can buy her and do whatever I want! From then on, I will be a slave and handmaiden, regardless of life or death." But the price of 300 taels is indeed too high, so this girl Kneeling for a long time, no one paid any attention to him, until just now, he was targeted by this group of ruffians, who threw out three taels of silver and clamored to take him away.

You must know that whoever sells his body to bury his father has been the principle since ancient times. No matter whether the person is a high-ranking official, a trafficker, or a robber or thief, no one can control him.But if you don’t give enough money, and you still want to force people to go back, you will be outraged!Selling one's body to bury one's father is something that can only be done when cornered. Otherwise, why would such a good young girl humiliate herself like this? She is already so miserable, and she still comes to add insult to injury. The onlookers said that she would not agree to death.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, those gangsters knew that if they wanted to grab this girl out at this time, they would definitely be beaten to death by everyone. Take the money, 300 taels is too much, but if you want to stop here, look at this cute little girl The appearance is reluctant to give up, scratching his head for a while, not knowing how to choose.

"Hurry up and give the silver!"

"If you don't give up, leave quickly!"

"That's right! Don't just stand around in the latrine!"

The people onlookers burst out laughing, hoping that this ruffian would get out of here quickly, and don't harm this girl here, maybe a son of a big family would pass by and buy her, which is considered a good result!With such thoughts in mind, the surrounding boos became even louder.

The ruffian touched his bare head, and was about to say a few words before slipping away, but at this moment, a young gentleman walked in with a fan, and said loudly: "This girl, I bought it." !"

"Okay!" There was a loud applause from outside the circle, and the applause continued one after another.

It turned out that the young man who had just approached was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a fair face, eyebrows like black ink, eyes as clear as autumn water, and rouge on his mouth, he was even more handsome than that woman.He was wearing a very elegant white satin robe, with a belt embroidered with gold thread tied around his waist, and a few jade pendants were tied on it. It seemed that he was either rich or expensive.

The girl who sold her body to bury her father heard the young man's words and raised her head slightly, only then did everyone see her face clearly.

I saw her oval face, delicate and fair skin, a pair of almond eyes filled with tears, long eyelashes hanging down her face, she was indescribably soft, and this white filial dress made her softer, From the looks of this young man, they really are a pair of lovers.

"My lord is willing to buy me?" The girl clasped her hands in front of her chest with expectation in her tone.Today she made this decision with great determination. Although life and death have long been ignored, if she followed someone like the ruffian just now, she might be worse than death!
"En!" The young man nodded and threw a bag of gold on the ground.There was a loud bang, and dust was scattered everywhere. It seemed that it was pure gold. This generous move increased the admiration of the onlookers.

Li Ying saw that the matter had basically been settled, and that the girl followed this young man who looked like a dude. It was not bad. She was about to turn around and go back to the palace, but the ruffian yelled: "I want to buy it first. Do you understand, Mr. Rabbit?" First come, first served?!"

The ruffian had already planned to leave, but seeing this scene, he was very dissatisfied, didn't this little boy look better than himself, why did he want to buy this girl just now and everyone looked like this, and they applauded frequently?That's why he stood up angrily at the end.

Seeing the twists and turns, Li Ying stopped and watched the development of the situation quietly.

The young man who wants to buy someone sees the ruffian standing up, logically, it is true that the ruffian wants to buy first, since he hasn't said no to buying, he really wants to be ranked behind him, but the matter is now, how can he give in?Then he blushed, stretched his neck, and shouted bravely: "Just you? Can you get 300 taels of silver!"

"Yes! Yes! Can you get it out!" Although the onlookers knew that the girls would come first, they all hoped that the girl would be bought by the young master, so they stepped forward to help the young master.

Under the siege of the crowd, the ruffian seemed to have been greatly insulted, stomped his feet, and said bitterly: "I'm fighting with you today! Little lame, go to Diecuilou and get 300 taels of silver from Mother Xu!"

After he said this with red eyes, the onlookers fell silent.
