Raid

Chapter 103
Seeing that Zhan Qirui had left, Li Shengxi seemed to be relieved. She collected the money and asked someone to pick up the broken porcelain.

Rong Zhi looked at Li Shengxi slightly apologetically, his expression was complicated and unknown, "Today, thank you Mrs. Qu, and ask Mrs. Qu to bring me some wound medicine."

Zhan Qirui's fist was not light.

Li Shengxi nodded, and still went to get the medicine. She looked at Rong Zhi with the same expression, but she was a little more alienated than the previous gentleness.

Rong Zhi knew the reason, it was nothing more than what he said to Zhan Qirui just now, it was really a sycophant's words.

This Mrs. Qu didn't drive him out because of this, and she was willing to do his business, which shows the benevolence of the doctor.What's more, she was the one who stopped Zhan Qirui just now.

No matter what her purpose is, he should thank her.

Li Shengxi helped Rong Zhi pack the medicine, and handed it over indifferently.

"Thank you Mrs. Qu." Rong Zhi thanked again.

Li Shengxi nodded, and said with a deep meaning: "You don't have to be polite, but Rong Yushi should cherish himself in the future."

This is a nicer way of saying it for yourself.This Mrs. Qu was as usual neither arrogant nor flattering, neither humble nor overbearing.

Rong Zhi didn't care about it, and left with the medicinal materials.

As soon as he left, Li Shengxi lowered his eyes.Rong Zhi is not a person who can't hold his breath, he will not show off that he has gained authority for no reason.What's more, what he got is a powerful power in the eyes of others, but it may not be so in his own eyes.

His honey, your arsenic.

He was provoking Zhan Qirui.

But why did he provoke Zhan Qirui?In his current situation, it would do him no good to anger Zhan Qirui.

In the days that followed, to Li Shengxi's surprise, Rong Zhi showed no mercy to the group of deputy examiners. He acted vigorously and quickly caught the person who leaked the test questions. Under torture, He sent as many people as possible to prison.

All of this was within the expectation of the Qing officials in the court, after all, this matter was handed over to the management party to handle it, and it could only be punished widely.

He is also very ruthless in the prison, and many people have been tortured beyond recognition.

At the beginning, he only arrested those who sold the test questions. Later, he even arrested the students and tortured them. Many of them were Zhan Qirui's classmates.

"Mr. Zhan, please save my husband!" A young woman in coarse linen knelt down in front of Zhan Qirui, crying uncontrollably.

"Sister-in-law of the Xu family, what are you doing? Get up soon?" Zhan Qirui panicked, he glanced at his wife, and Mrs. Meng hurried to help Mrs. Yan up.

Yan is the wife of his classmates Xu Yi and Xu Jiashan.Unlike Zhan Qirui's status as a noble son, Xu Yi was born as a commoner, his parents were shoe weavers and sold shoes, and his family was poor.

But Xu Yi's talent is not inferior to him in the slightest, and some opinions are even higher than his, and he admires him very much.

They both knew each other in Xiaqiu, and they had known each other since they were studying. They shared similar knowledge and interests, and they became confidantes of each other.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about what happened. If something really happens to Mr. Xu Lang, my husband and I will definitely not just ignore it." Mrs. Meng helped Mrs. Yan up and sat down, and she handed Mrs. Yan a handkerchief , Comforting softly.

After a while, Yan could barely hold back her grief, but her voice was still sad, "Early this morning, officers and soldiers broke into the house and took my husband away. Mr. Zhan Lang, you know the character of your husband best." But, how could he commit such a serious crime of beheading. Besides, our family is empty and the exam questions are worth thousands of dollars, so how can we afford the exam questions?"

Zhan Qirui's face darkened, and he asked in disbelief: "Brother Jiashan was also captured by them?"

Yan nodded, and said sadly: "It's a shame that those officers and soldiers didn't listen to our discernment, and took him away without mercy. If your husband resists even a little, they will beat you severely. If you go to prison, It’s not just about suffering.”

"The city of panic, under the feet of the emperor, there are such things as the destruction of the yellow bell and the thunder of the kettle. It is really disgusting!" Meng said angrily. , she couldn't help cursing angrily: "Rong Zhi is a minion for a tiger, once he succeeds, he becomes so arrogant, he will get retribution!"

When Yan heard this, she burst into tears, "Rong Zhi has been so arrogant that he only hates his concubine for being nothing more than a commoner, and it's hard to compare with him. He even gave a helping hand to Zhan Lang, don't ask your husband to die in prison."

After finishing speaking, she wanted to worship again, and Meng quickly stopped her. She said with a worried face: "Sister-in-law... Husband and Mr. Xu Lang are bosom friends, and it is their duty to lend a helping hand. You don't have to do this."

Meng understood her husband's character, and Zhan Qirui was jealous of evil, so how could he see his classmate and confidant in trouble.

Zhan Qirui also nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry, Zhan will never sit idly by."

Only with Zhan Qirui's promise did Yan feel a little relieved.Meng Shi said a few more words of relief, and then sent him away.

After sending Yan away, Meng couldn't help sighing, "Nowadays, the villain is in power, deceiving the emperor, so that the power is sidelined, and the loyal ministers are wronged. Although the husband agreed to Xu's sister-in-law, I know that the husband is eager to be righteous, but the husband only It's just a little boy, even though he has royal blood, how can he save someone?"

After all, even the Taifu was forced to resign.

Zhan Qirui pursed his lips, "Take a few steps, make some arrangements, use some yellow and white things, maybe you can still rescue brother Jiashan, Madam, don't worry."

Meng shi hesitated to speak, and there was worry that could not be concealed between the gentle brows.

"Wan Niang, what's the matter with you?" Zhan Qirui asked with some doubts.

"The leak of the test questions involved a wide range of issues. Many students bought the test questions. They were arrested, but they were not innocent. They only blamed their own greed for causing trouble. They can't blame others. They should be dealt with by the national law. It's just that now the treacherous people are in power. Xu Jiashan is not the only one who has been accused of crimes and has been wronged. There are probably tens of thousands of Xu Jiashans in this prison. My husband has great ambitions. He was not afraid of treachery in the past and dared to report the crimes of eunuchs. Now Can we only use yellow and white things to save our best friends?"

Zhan Qirui grabbed the corner of the table. He looked at his virtuous and wise wife, "What does Mrs. Yi mean?"

Only to hear his wife continue to say: "Xunzi said: 'Common people, water is also. Water carries the boat, and water capsizes the boat.' What my husband was good at in the past, now I just let it go."

As soon as Zhan Qirui's eyes lit up, he immediately understood what Meng Wan meant.
