Chapter 477

"The two children in the family are getting older, and Changle wants to find a wife for them." Seeing that everyone looked at him because of that name, Chen Qiao continued, "I thought that since Changle and I are also counting on Brother Han went to take the No. [-] Scholar exam, so he didn’t have to look for any great Confucian scholars of the time, and Changle just heard that there is such a talented person in the capital, but he failed in the imperial examination in the spring, so he told me about it.”

"Lord Luo Bin..."

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Zhi hadn't spoken yet, but Li Tai spoke first.

"Although he is talented, he has always been a bit arrogant." Li Tai glanced at Chen Qiao and continued, "Before starting the course, most of the candidates would bring their articles or poems to the dignitaries or celebrities in the court first. In order to become famous in one fell swoop, so that I can win the first place in the imperial examination. There are also some candidates who will directly find ways to build connections with their poems and send them to the examiners in the field, hoping to leave a good impression on the examiners."

As he said that, Li Tai turned his head and saw Chen Qiao's frown, he knew in his heart that with his temperament, he must not like these things, so he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

"Although this is not a good thing, but it is also an unwritten rule for a long time before the start of the course." Li Tai said slowly: "However, this King Luo Bin is really interesting. When he first came to the capital, many officials heard about it. Knowing his talent and fame, some people who love talent sent people to ask for poems and essays, but King Luo Bin ignored them completely, and he didn't know how many people he offended, so naturally he will lose his name after the imperial examination."

"Although I haven't sent anyone to inquire about it, I have also heard of the name of King Luo Bin. It is said that he does not have a good relationship with his fellow countrymen, and he walks alone every day." Li Ke also said: "But Later, by chance, I also read an article by him before, and it is indeed quite talented, but it is a pity..." Li Ke said this, with a bit of regret in his tone.

After listening to what they said, Chen Qiao nodded thoughtfully, and said: "What you hear can never be true, regardless of others, since King Wu has said so, then he is indeed very talented. "

Seeing what Chen Qiao said, Li Tai turned his head and looked at the hidden guard standing aside.

"What is the master's order?" The man in black understood, stepped forward to Li Tai's side, and asked while kneeling on the ground.

"Send someone to investigate this King Luo Bin, to see what kind of person he is, and whether he is still in Chang'an right now." Li Tai said.

"Yes."

The man in black responded, then got up and left.

"Thank you King Wei." Chen Qiao nodded at Li Tai with a smile.

The few people stayed under the flower stand until sunset, and then moved into the flower hall together.The two servants carried Li Tai in lightly but steadily, and then left the flower hall without saying a word.

Because of his poor health these past few years, Li Tai was still covered with a thick blanket even though it was already May.

"Let's go after dinner." Li Tai said to everyone, with anticipation in his eyes.

Chen Qiao nodded first, and said, "Of course I want to stay. After all, the person who went out to inquire about the news hasn't come back yet, so how can I go first?"

Hearing what Chen Qiao said, the rest of the people also agreed.

Sitting in the flower hall, occasionally a faint fragrance of flowers would be carried by the breeze and float into the hall. Everyone drank tea and talked about some trivial things that happened over the years, and it was considered peaceful for a while.

Not long after returning to the flower hall, two masked men in black walked in.

"How's the investigation going?" Li Tai asked.

The two men in black knelt on the ground on one knee. The man in black came into the hall from behind them, and knelt on the ground when he walked in front of and behind the two of them. "To master, King Luo Bin is still in Chang'an City."

"Well," Li Tai responded, and asked again: "Then how is he?"

"The subordinates sent someone to ask the neighbors, and they all said that he doesn't like to talk to others on weekdays, and he walks alone every day. After the imperial examination, he became depressed a lot, and he is currently working in a restaurant. The man in black replied: "I followed him for half a day today, and found that apart from being a bit withdrawn, this man is not a bad-tempered person, and he is mostly calm when getting along with others."

"From this point of view, it's not bad." Li Tai said, turning his head to look at Chen Qiao, "If General Chen wants to see him, I'll ask someone to bring him to Wei Palace."

"I think you still have something to say." Chen Qiao was about to agree, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught the expression of the man in black who hesitated to speak.

"What else is there?" Li Tai asked with a frown.

The man in black knelt down on his knees and said, "Since the imperial examination, this man has been drinking heavily until late at night, and most of his monthly salary is used to buy alcohol."

Hearing what the man in black said, Li Lizhi was unavoidably worried for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Chen Qiao.Sensing Li Lizhi's gaze, Chen Qiao patted her hand lightly, and comforted her, "Don't worry."

Then, Chen Qiao said to Li Tai: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, and I have to ask King Wei to bring that King Luo Bin to my husband and wife."

"Okay." Li Tai nodded, and then went to tell the man in black, "Have you heard what General Chen said? Bring that King Luo Bin to the mansion immediately."

"Yes." After responding, the man in black left the flower hall with the two hidden guards following him.

"There have been a lot of rumors and rumors about King Luo Bin in Chang'an City, but most of them just say that he is proud of his talents and has no dust in his eyes, and the others didn't say anything." Li Chengqian touched his chin and said: "Since ancient times, literati love to be romantic, he is so talented. There is no rumor about hanging around in the Qinlou and Chu Pavilion, and it is just a few words that go around the tongue, I really think he has something interesting."

"Brother is very polite." Li Zhi also nodded and said: "I have also seen the article written by King Luo Bin in the imperial examination, and I can see that there is indeed a gap in his chest."

After listening to Li Chengqian and Li Zhi's words, Chen Qiao and Li Lizhi inevitably looked at each other.

In fact, Chen Qiao knew about King Luo Bin, so he was not very worried. However, Li Lizhi had only heard some rumors about King Luo Bin so far, so he naturally doubted and trusted him more.

She was afraid that King Luo Bin would be hard to live up to under his prestigious name, and she was also afraid that his clumsy temper would ruin brother Han and girl Xi.While waiting for King Luo Bin to be brought to the Wei Palace, Li Lizhi's delicate eyebrows were tightly knit together, looking very disturbed.

Not long after, the man in black came back again, and the two hidden guards behind him escorted a young man who looked like a scholar, followed closely behind the man in black before, and escorted him into the prison. flower hall.

Until now, King Luo Bin still hasn't figured out what happened.I only knew that I was just about to pour myself a drink in front of Gu Yue, but suddenly three men in black jumped in from the fence, and before he could ask clearly, he was brought here forcibly without knowing it. place.

"Even if you are princes and grandchildren, it's not good to act like this!"

King Luo Bin was dressed in gray and looked at the people sitting in front of him with some dissatisfaction on his face. He was standing alone in the hall, but he didn't seem to be in the slightest panic. Chin, no groveling was seen.

"You are King Luo Bin?"

Although King Luo Bin didn't look like a talkative person, there are many people in the hall who are more talkative than him.

Li Chengqian looked at King Luo Bin playfully, picked up a teacup casually, and looked at King Luo Bin with half-raised eyelids.

"It's right here." King Luo Bin was holding a folding fan, and he looked like a romantic and talented man.

"As far as I know, you don't have the capital to talk to me like this right now." Li Chengqian took a sip of tea, then put the quilt on the table, and looked at King Luo Bin with a slightly cold look.
