Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 78: Rich family background
Earl Ying said softly to Pan Yangji and others: "Don't make too much noise. It's quiet in the dead of night. It's not good to disturb the neighbors."

Pan Yangming said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, our brothers don't need your instructions to do things."

Earl Ying nodded, and reached out to support the box that Pan Yangming was carrying.

He patted Pan Yangming on the shoulder and signaled Pan Yangming to carry the box in quickly.

Ming Yun walked over quickly and said to the earl: "Sir Ying, in my opinion, you must not leak the news about what happened tonight."

"That Hua Zixu originally came to our Qinghe County from Bianliang City with his uncle. It seems that he has a good background."

"If something happens in the east window, it will definitely be difficult for you to deal with, and it will definitely be a disaster."

Just now when Ming Yun followed Earl Ying to Hua Zixu's house, Ming Yun felt extremely anxious.

I still remember that when Old Eunuch Hua was still alive, Li Gongji specially prepared generous gifts and made a special trip to visit him when he first settled in Qinghe County.

As the magistrate of Qinghe County, Li Gongji's rank is really not high, he is only the seventh rank.

The old eunuch Hua was so wealthy that he immediately rewarded Li Gongji with a large brocade box of gold ingots.

At that time, Ming Yun stood aside and witnessed it with his own eyes, and it can't be said that he was shocked in his heart.

During the brief conversation between Li Gongji and the old eunuch Hua, Ming Yun heard that the people mentioned by the old eunuch Hua were all famous court officials in Bianliang City.

Basically, if I open my mouth, there will be no unknown person.

I would like to think that the relationship between Earl Ying and Li Ping'er, the niece of Eunuch Hua, is so ambiguous.

If Hua Zixu learns about this matter, then for Earl Ying, it will definitely set him on fire, and he may even be doomed.

Although Ming Yun and Count Ying have not known each other for a long time, they have known each other since Count Ying took office as the head of Qinghe County.

Basically, he would be invited by Li Gongji to sit at his home every now and then, so Ming Yun and Earl Ying had a solid friendship.

Earl Ying didn't seem to take Ming Yun's words seriously at all.

He just patted Ming Yun's shoulder gently and said softly: "Brother, I have worked hard tonight. I'm afraid I will have to work hard for you even more in the future." "

"Your brother, I will definitely prepare generous gifts and give you and your brothers a good meal later."

Everyone below Mingyun was ecstatic when they heard what Earl Ying said.

Everyone knows that Earl Ying's family is extremely wealthy. If Earl Ying prepares a generous gift for them, then the specific amount of the gift must be quite considerable.

Ming Yun first thanked him, and then hurriedly said to Earl Ying: "Sir Ying, thank you for not despising the villain. Speaking of which, there is still a lot of affection between the two of us."

"To be honest, Mingyun is really worried about you, Mr. Ying, regarding this matter. I hope you will be more careful, Mr. Ying."

Earl Ying smiled and was about to speak when he saw Pan Yangzhi walking out of the courtyard quickly.

Breathlessly, he responded to the earl and said, "Master, everything has been arranged neatly. Now we can set off."

Earl Ying raised his head to look at the sky, and found that it was close to midnight.

In order to make the transfer of property more efficient on the last trip tonight, the Earl Ying ordered Pan Yangji, Pan Yangzhi, and Pan Yangming to go together before leaving.

The group of people got on the carriages and horses one after another, and headed east in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, just after taking a few steps, the horse driven by Ming Yun suddenly got angry and hit a low wall hard with its head.

That wall was already crumbling due to its age and disrepair.

Now the horse hit the top so hard that a large piece of the wall fell down.Large chunks of stone fell to the ground like mountains collapsing.

For a while, the dust was flying, and the yellow sand filled the sky.

The group of people were stunned. Mingyun quickly ran down from the carriage, frowning, and bent down to look at the mess on the ground.

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard from inside the wall: "You brave little thief, stop right now!"

Earl Ying frowned and looked back and forth. Only then did he realize that this place was actually the home of his neighbor Li Shanchang.

Speaking of which, this Li Shanchang has quite some influence in Qinghe County.

Although he is not an official in the court, and he is not a rich man who is good at doing business.

However, not many people in Qinghe County dared not to give him some face.

Of course, Count Ying had also heard from others that Li Shanchang's ancestor was Pingxi General Li Yuanliang who followed Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi and participated in important battles.

At that time, General Li Yuanliang was famous and powerful, and he was powerful in half the country.

Although his qualifications are mediocre, he has not won a few beautiful battles in his career.

But after all, he made outstanding contributions in the three years in Chunhua, Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty, in that last-ditch battle with the Liao Kingdom.

He also personally led the three armies to defeat the thirteen cities of the Liao Kingdom, establishing his status as a high-ranking military attache in Taizong's dynasty.

This Li Shanchang is the seventh generation grandson of General Li Yuanliang.

Three generations of Li Shan's ancestors originally lived in Bianliang City.

Later, because he was given a heavy responsibility by the Empress Dowager when Huizong was establishing the Jingguo, he finally settled in Qinghe County after some twists and turns.

Counting on the fingers, a full 25 years have passed.

Earl Ying recognized the elder Li Shan, and Ming Yun also recognized the elder Li Shan. At that moment, both of them felt nervous and looked at each other anxiously.

After the man inside the wall came out, he looked at Earl Ying and was shocked. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the mess and asked: "Ying... Ying Sir! This... was this done by you?"

Earl Ying nodded in shame, and said softly: "First of all, I apologize to Yuanwai Li here."

"There is really something urgent to do now. I will come back to the house later to properly apologize to Mr. Li!"

As Earl Ying said this, he got on his horse and left as soon as possible.

But who would have expected that this young boy actually grabbed Earl Ying's thigh and said urgently: "Sir Ying, this matter is not trivial. You should stay here and wait for my master to come."

"It is up to our master to decide how he should resign."

Earl Ying was only thinking about transporting the second piece of property as quickly as possible, so why was he thinking about waiting for Li Shanchang to make his fortune?

But there was really nothing he could do and he couldn't afford to offend Li Shanchang, so he bit the bullet and got off his horse.

Seeing this, Ming Yun said to the boy: "Brother, we have important things to do as soon as possible. Let us go first. We will definitely go to the house to apologize later."

But I don't know whether this young man did it intentionally or unintentionally. He made sure that Earl Ying waited for Li Shan to grow up and refused to let him go, even if he died.

Earl Ying simply said, "That's fine!"Just wait. Besides, it's not like Li Shanchang doesn't know my position in Qinghe County, Count Ying, and he probably won't make things difficult for me.

While thinking this, a group of boys walked out of the courtyard with the fat Li Shanchang.
