Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 464

With Liu Shanwang's arrival, the remaining guests Xue Na impatiently greeted him, so he returned to the hall to announce the beginning of the birthday banquet.

The silk, bamboo, shengxiao played, and the maikos came on stage and danced on the huge stage in the hall.

The dandies stood up and saluted Xue Na one after another, whether they were sincere or not, they all congratulated Xue Na on his birthday.

Although the birthday sounds a bit strange, but the behavior style of playboys has always been unique, maybe they just like the atmosphere of celebrating birthdays.

Xue Na laughed out loud, and complacently accepted the blessings of the dandies, and casually hugged the two girls from the brothel, not to mention sweetening one of their cheeks, which caused the girls to scream and coquettishly.

The dandyish and dissolute nature won the approval of everyone, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be stirred up by huge waves, and everyone immediately became excited.

Xue Na casually glanced at Liu Shan who was sitting in the corner while socializing with the dudes.

Seeing Liu Shanwang dancing around among the dandies, Xue Na couldn't help but smile, but his eyes seemed to be a wolf staring at its prey.

After answering with everyone, Xue Na entered the pavilion, sat down cross-legged, and sighed: "It turns out that living a life is so hard, I don't want to live a life in this life."

Gao Qi sneered and said, "Really think you've passed your birthday? Today is the plan arranged by brother Jingchu. The so-called birthday celebration is just a cover. Looking at the smoky atmosphere outside, it's clearly a group of demons dancing wildly, like entering a den of thieves. If the life span is like this, it's better to hit him head-on to death."

Xue Na lowered his face and said, "Your surname is Gao, you really want to make things difficult for me, right?"

Li Qinzai waved his hand and said, "Okay, today's matter is important, so don't look at the time when you quarrel."

The two immediately shut up. Although they disagreed with each other, Li Qinzai's words still carried great weight to them.

"Brother Jingchu, what should we do next?" Xue Na leaned over and asked.

"Is Liu Shanwang acting normal?" Li Qinzai asked.

"Naturally, this is the kind of virtue that we get together on weekdays. He goes around flirting with a shy face. His father, Liu Xingzhou, is said to be an upright supervisory censor. With his appearance, Xiongzi is not afraid to lose his father." Xue Na sneered.

Li Qinzai took a sip of his wine and said, "Stop a bit and arrange things before someone gets him drunk. Put some medicine in the wine, and the amount is right. I want him to wake up when he should wake up."

Xue Na smirked and said: "Brother Jing Chu, don't worry, yesterday I invited a doctor to study and analyze Brother Jing Chu's Mongolian sweat medicine until midnight, and determined the dose. It only takes a little rubbing to ensure that he is only unconscious for two sticks." Wake up immediately when the incense burns, we just need to make arrangements within two incense sticks."

Li Qinzai looked at Gao Qi again, and Gao Qi hurriedly said: "The officers of Yongzhou Governor's Mansion also happen to be patrolling nearby, and I promise you that if you shout loudly, they will arrive at the scene."

Li Qinzai clicked his tongue, and said: "I have to praise you, both of you are quite talented when it comes to committing crimes."

Xue Na and Gao Qi jumped up immediately.

Gao Qi blushed and said, "Brother Jingchu's words are wrong, but the foolish brother did everything according to brother Jingchu's orders. He committed adultery and crimes, and the foolish brother was born upright and never did anything."

Li Qinzai lazily said: "Okay, okay, you guys are prostitutes, drink, fight, cheat, but I know you are all good boys..."

Xue Na's face flushed, and he said, "It's... not so perfect."

Li Qinzai yawned, and said, "It's almost time, you both go to work, I'll lie here for a while, call me when things are done."

…………

Under Xue Na's intentional or unintentional arrangement, half an hour later, Liu Shanwang unknowingly drank too much.

He didn't know how he drank too much. He vaguely remembered that a few dudes came over and offered him a few drinks, and a few beautiful brothel girls came over and offered a few drinks to him. I also came over to have a few drinks with him...

In short, Liu Shanwang was drunk, but he was very happy.

He suddenly discovered that today the dandies in Chang'an City seem to be much more friendly to him than usual.Not only did they drink together, but they also hooked up shoulder to shoulder as brothers, this kind of treatment has never been done before.

Feeling happy, Liu Shanwang became more and more excited. He felt that he already had contacts in half the city of Chang'an. Even if he could not become an official in the future, he would have a great chance of being recommended by the powerful to become an official. His future would definitely be brighter than his father's.

Stepping from a poor family to a wealthy family is as simple as making friends.

Before passing out of drunkenness, Liu Shan looked at the heroic and laughing dudes around him in a daze, and couldn't help but have a happy thought in his heart.

There is a cloud of high friends and good friends, and everyone in the seat is a confidant. Life is like this, how happy it is.

Then Liu Shanwang fell completely drunk and collapsed under the table.

The dandies were still making noise, they were immersed in their own happiness, and no one noticed that the son of a seventh-rank censor was drunk.

Two well-behaved maids supported Liu Shanwang, one on the left and the other on the right, and took him to the quiet backyard of the brothel.

…………

After noon, a big news suddenly broke out in Chang'an City.

Liu Shanwang, the son of Liu Xingzhou, the supervisory censor, committed a serious crime. Taking advantage of his drunken courage, he sneaked into the backyard of the brothel and stole a gift from Shen Guogong's Gao family to Xue Na for his birthday.

Not only that, when Liu Shanwang was stealing, he happened to be discovered by Gao Qi who was passing by the backyard. Liu Shanwang was so courageous that he stabbed Gao Qi. Gao Qi was injured in the abdomen and was bleeding profusely. He was rushed to the hospital immediately. So far, life and death are unknown.

As for Liu Shanwang, he was captured by the guards of Yongzhou Prefecture who happened to pass by the brothel, and he was thrown into a prison awaiting trial.

The silence of the afternoon was broken by this news, and the government and people in Chang'an City were shocked.

The son of an official stole and committed murder, and the son of the Duke was injured. This is a serious case.

After the incident, Shen Guogong's Gao family was furious. Gao Zhenxing entered the palace to see Li Zhi himself, knelt in front of Li Zhi and wept, berating the gangster for his arrogance, and begging Li Zhi to deal with the law strictly and give his son justice.

Li Zhi was also furious, and immediately stated that he must deal with it, and he must not encourage the villain's flame.

Half an hour later, Liu Xingzhou, the censor who came over after hearing the news, knelt in front of the gate of Taiji Palace and pleaded guilty, but Li Zhi refused to see him.

In the evening, a decree came out from the palace ordering Weinan County Bo Li Qinzai to hear the case.

Liu Xingzhou, who was still kneeling in front of the palace gate and didn't dare to leave, heard this decree, sweating profusely, and limp on the ground weakly.

The eunuch delivering the decree had just left the palace to go to the British government, Liu Xingzhou also hurriedly got up, and followed the eunuch fearfully.

After delivering the decree, the eunuch left the British government, and Liu Xingzhou dared to approach Li Qinzai to see Li Qinzai, but he was refused by the tribunes on duty outside the mansion.

According to the rules of the British government, no outsiders will be seen after dark.

Liu Xingzhou was so anxious that he stood outside the gate of the mansion and paced anxiously. After a long while, he finally stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and rushed towards Yongzhou governor's mansion.

However, this case has alarmed the emperor, and the governor of Yongzhou did not dare to neglect, let alone let Liu Xingzhou and his son meet each other in prison.

Surprised by the great changes, Liu Xingzhou missed several times in a day and returned home exhausted.
