Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 278 "The poisonous killing of the governor's son... Hey, it didn't happen!
After the suona was played, the atmosphere became completely heated.

Excited scribes followed suit one after another, holding the instruments they were good at, came to the venue one by one to sing a long song, and then began to dance.

Even Gong Siguang was ready to move, wanting to go up and dance.

But Li Yan always sat upright, being a quiet and handsome man, and his painting style was incompatible with the scene.

But he was so calm that no one dared to come and disturb him, and he was a latecomer. Everyone was so happy that he didn't participate. They just drank happily and sang loudly.

Normally, this would be the climax of the reception, but tonight was obviously different.

Zheng Hui returned to the table, and Yan Duzhi looked at each other from a distance. The two nodded slightly, and made a certain decision.

Zheng Hui got up and said loudly, "Everyone, I have something to announce."

Everyone smiled and looked over: "Brother Wen Wen, please tell me."

Zheng Hui said: "I want to marry Yan Niang to start."

The smile froze, and the crowd was full of laughter.

Just like pouring a pot of cold water, the venue instantly changed from extremely lively to extremely quiet.

The one who raised his glass and recited poetry got stuck halfway through.

The dancers on the field rushed back to the seats in a hurry.

Even Legie, who played and sang on the sidelines, became hoarse, and the fake mother changed color.

Gong Siguang was shocked, his brows were full of surprise: "Is he crazy? Go back and not be beaten to death by Governor Zheng?"

Li Yan was the most calm, and said: "Although the word "marriage" is used, there are no six rituals, and it is still a concubine. Is there any big problem?"

Gong Siguang said in a low voice: "The problem is serious. He is from the Zheng family in Xingyang. He has a serious family style and rank is the most important thing. The key is that Zheng Wenming hasn't officially married yet, so how can he take a prostitute as his concubine?"

The Zheng family in Xingyang is one of the five surnames and seven Wangs. Although these Shandong gentry are still in a marginalized position in the central government, all the prime ministers in the history of the Zheng family in Xingyang came after the Anshi Rebellion. The big families that come down are extremely important in terms of family style.

And we all know that ladies are usually sought after by high-ranking officials and dignitaries, literati and refined scholars, but those who are really willing to marry them have a much lower grade.

It was known in the Tang Dynasty that the wife married the best. It is said that she married Guo Ziyi's son Guo Duan, but unfortunately, Guo Ziyi didn't have that son at all, either he was a relative in the clan, or it was a non-existent folk fabrication.

In reality, it is known that most of the ladies marry wealthy businessmen as concubines. People in the officialdom who marry known ladies are basically at the level of county captains.

Li Yan is also aware of these things, but Zheng Hui is not an official after all. In terms of status alone, the biggest obstacle is that this person does not have a regular wife: "This Zheng Langjun is not young, why hasn't he married yet?"

Gong Siguang's tone was full of gloating: "He should have married a long time ago. He fell in love with Dou's daughter two years ago. Later, Dou's family committed a major crime, and many people retired. A year ago, he fell in love with Wei's daughter, and Webster's misfortune happened again. , Hasn’t this dragged on until now? Do you think this person has bad luck? "

Li Yan: "..."

It's very unlucky~
The Dou family was severely injured because of the Yundan case, and the Wei family was abused by Empress Wu because of the disaster in the pass. These two gentry families are the two most frequent marriages in the pass.

Because of their accidents one after another, Zheng Hui's marriage has been delayed again and again, and now he actually has the idea of ​​Mrs. Naduzhi.

After the son of the governor said it, he seemed to heave a long sigh of relief, with a feeling of relief, and Yan Duzhi's eyes were full of joy, bright as Qiushui.

Seeing the silence in the hall, the masked woman who was beside Zheng Hui stood up and raised her glass to invite a drink: "Today, I am honored to be the Qin Jinhui, and I taught Luanfeng to go to the make-up building early. Congratulations to my brother's happy event, and my wife is blessed!"

Yan Duzhi hurriedly saluted, and Zheng Hui also raised his glass with a smile: "Thank you, little sister."

Everyone was stunned: "This is actually the little lady of Zheng Shi's family?"

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open. In the early Zhenguan period, women had to wear a fence when they went out to cover most of their bodies to prevent passers-by from peeping. In this period, the fence has become a veiled hat, and sometimes a scarf can also be used. Thirty years later, he simply showed his face in public, dressed in fancy clothes and heavy makeup, and galloped on horseback.

As for women disguised as men to go out, it is commonplace, just a fig leaf will do.

But even so, when a noble lady comes to this kind of place and personally celebrates her elder brother Na Duzhi as a concubine, it is still astonishing.

Gong Siguang grinned happily: "I have heard for a long time that Governor Zheng's daughter is a maverick, but I didn't expect her son to be like this today. I really want to see the old man's reaction after he gets the news."

This is completely because it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and the other people in the venue are a little restless.

Have a good drink, how did you come across this kind of thing?
After receiving the blessing from his own sister, Zheng Hui and Yan Duzhi walked side by side to the other seats.

When they came to the first seat, Yan Duzhi raised the jug with his slender hand and poured wine down, Zheng Hui picked up the cup full of wine: "Brother Lu, I was so abrupt today, I offer you a toast, and hope Haihan!"

The scholar surnamed Lu got up and sighed: "Civilization, where is this matter from Mr. Zheng... Sigh! Forget it!"

He drank it all in one gulp, but didn't say "Wanfu, my wife", obviously unwilling to admit Yan Duzhi's identity.

When they arrived at the second table, the scribes also drank the wine with an uneasy face, without any words of blessing.

The next people, facing Zheng Hui's toast, drank it even if they hesitated a little, but kept their mouths shut and remained silent.

This is actually interesting enough, there is really a bit of friendship.

After all, this move was to offend Governor Zheng, who was the highest official in Luoyang.

However, when it came to Gong Taoguang's table, he raised his wine glass with both hands, first touched Zheng Hui, and then paid respects to Yan Duzhi: "I respect you both, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

Faced with the indifference of the scribes before, Yan Duzhi's expression also calmed down. After hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Gong Taoguang in surprise.

Zheng Hui was even more overjoyed.

He didn't blame other friends, after all, he dragged others into the water this time, but he was overjoyed to receive such a blessing, and said repeatedly: "Thank you! Thank you, Brother Fengzheng!"

Li Yandao: "You seventh brother are quite courageous!"

There was some disdain in Gong Siguang's tone, and he quickly separated the relationship: "He is not my seventh brother, he came from a different background..."

But watching Gong Taoguang and Zheng Hui drink several glasses of wine again and again, he couldn't help being surprised in his eyes, full of puzzlement: "What is this for?"

Zheng Hui is white and doesn't have any official position, so to curry favor with him is naturally to curry favor with his father, Governor Zheng.

But Zheng Hui's actions now greatly offended Inspector Zheng. After tonight, in the eyes of the old man, this group of people would definitely be classified as the ranks of cronies. What Gong Taoguang said was even more hateful.

Just thinking about it, Zheng Hui and Yan Duzhi came to the banquet, Gong Siguang didn't move, and said directly: "I don't want to drink this glass of wine, I would like to advise you, Mr. Zheng, don't worry about being happy, you should think about it carefully. How do you deal with Zheng Gong's fury when you go back!"

Zheng Hui's body froze, and he couldn't help but staggered a little. Yan Duzhi even lowered his head and pursed his lips tightly.

Everyone looked sideways at him.

Gong Taoguang even said: "Fifth Brother, even if you don't speak nice words, you don't have to!"

Gong Siguang folded his arms, looking tired and lazy: "It's just telling the truth, if you can't even stand up to this little talk, what's the talk of a century-old relationship, you can't make it through a year..."

The words are the truth, but the truth hurts the most, and everyone glared at him.

Gong Siguang firmly wanted to draw a clear line with this group of people, and he wanted to say more, but Li Yan stood up.

Zheng Hui hurried over with Yan Duzhi: "Li Langjun, we respect you."

Li Yan didn't raise his glass, and asked, "Do you usually have bad breath?"

Zheng Hui was stunned, and smiled wryly: "Li Langjun, I didn't offend you, why did this..."

"It seems not!"

It was actually common for ancient people to have bad breath. After all, it was difficult to pay attention to oral hygiene and periodontal disease was inevitable, but there were relatively few nobles. However, Li Yan looked at the thin powder on the face of the son of the governor, and the meticulous grooming all over his body. With the answer, he stretched out his hand and squeezed Zheng Hui's wrist.

After checking the situation in the person's body, Li Yan was even more certain. With a flick of his fingers, Zheng Hui turned half a circle involuntarily, and felt a palm slap on the back, his stomach was overwhelmed, and a stream of wine spurted out from his mouth .

This scene happened too fast, everyone didn't react until Zheng Hui sprayed alcohol, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing!"

Even Gong Siguang is stupid, you don't know how to recite poems to fight against, and you don't want to do it directly, beating the son of the governor, it's a lively night!

"Zheng Lang! Zheng Lang!"

Yan Duzhi, who was the closest, turned pale, and quickly supported Zheng Hui, but saw his face change and his body trembled.

The people who rushed over noticed something was wrong: "What's the matter?"

Li Yan said coldly: "He was poisoned, and there was a strange taste in his mouth, but it was covered by the smell of alcohol."

He reached out and pressed Zheng Hui's back, frowning: "Go and pass me that plate of vinegar, hurry up!"

The fastest responder was Miss Zheng who rushed over, and immediately threw herself on the seat next to her, and handed over the vinegar tray.

Li Yan took the chopsticks in one hand and stirred them at Zheng Hui's throat, and poured the whole plate of vinegar into his mouth with the other hand, looking sour.

Zheng Hui couldn't resist, he was gulped down, and then he felt the palm pressing on his chest.

After a while, he prostrated himself on the ground and vomited wildly.

Vomiting in the dark, the hall soon filled with a smell, and there was an indescribable smell in the vomit.

Only then did everyone confirm what had happened: "Poisoned! Is there poison in the wine?"

Miss Zheng's face suddenly changed, she looked at the jug in Yan Duzhi's hand, and gritted her teeth: "You actually poisoned my elder brother?"

Yan Duzhi's expression was dumbfounded: "I don't have a concubine... ah!"

She was kicked to the ground, then her hair was grabbed, and she was beaten by Mrs. Zheng.

Others thought that this was the governor's only son, and they didn't even bother to watch the women fight. There was chaos, and some people got up and rushed outside: "I'll go find the doctor!"

Until a majestic voice sounded: "Everyone sit down and return to the original position just now, and no one is allowed to move!"

Li Yan said: "Mr. Gong, you go and invite the doctor. Everyone in the hall is suspicious. Only you are a latecomer. You have been in my sight all the time, and there is no chance of poisoning."

Gong Siguang stood up obediently: "Yes! I'll go right away!"

Someone was dissatisfied and asked, "Why do you give orders?"

Li Yan was still checking Zheng Hui's situation and ignored it, while Gong Siguang seized the opportunity and scolded loudly: "How dare you be presumptuous? Originally, none of you can escape tonight. It was my Tang Dynasty detective Li Yuanfang who was here , let you escape, now all shut up and sit down!!"
