defend the truth

"That's the way it is, you two, please go back!"

Li Sheng covered the half of Zhongde's face that looked like a pig's head, and looked at Li Weizhen with great resentment.

Li Weizhen said with embarrassment and guilt: "Patriarch Li is in retreat to recuperate his wounds, I will definitely keep it secret. But I am really sorry that I have caused my little brother to offend the steward of the house and be punished!"

"Here is a bottle of elixir, which has the effects of relieving pain and calming the mind, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening the foundation and strengthening the vitality. I hope you will accept it and make amends!"

After all, Li Weizhen used a secret method to take out a bottle of high-grade wound medicine suitable for monks in the foundation establishment period from the storage bag.He only brought two bottles of this kind of medicine, originally because Ye Tong was with him, so it was in case of emergency.Although it can't be said to be expensive, it is definitely not a cheap product that can be given away at will.

Li Sheng took the medicine bottle unceremoniously, poured two ochre-red pills into the palm of his hand, looked at it, sniffed it, and took the medicine on the spot.

Afterwards, Li Sheng commented nonchalantly: "Red Ginseng Chaoyang Pill, the ginseng taste is too strong, and it tastes bitter and does not return to sweetness for a long time. The level of this alchemist is too ordinary! If you add some honeydew, it will be fine! As soon as I ate it, I knew it was definitely not the first-class product produced by the Huo Family Medical Center, if I hadn't seen your sincerity, I wouldn't have just eaten it!"

Even with Li Weizhen's approachable temper, he couldn't help feeling as if he had been kicked in the chest when he heard such ignorant words.

If the original words were relayed to Wen Renyu who made the medicine by himself, I don't know how this "average" guy would feel!

However, due to the full amount of ingredients used in this medicine, the effect of the medicine was soon manifested, and the redness and swelling on Li Sheng's face faded away without a trace.

Seeing this, Li Weizhen's conscience was at ease, so he didn't plan to stay here for a long time, he slightly bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "It's getting late, the two of us still have to find a place to stay, so I won't bother you any more. If we come to visit again in the future, Li must prepare the gift first, and then express his apologies to the little brother!"

Most people would reply with a polite word at this time, but Li Sheng's personality is obviously different, he directly threw the medicine bottle back to Li Weizhen, curled his lips, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Take this thing Take it back, according to the rules of the house, it is strictly forbidden for servants to accept bribes from foreign guests, don't hurt me again!"

After speaking, he turned around and stepped over the threshold, closing the door tightly, as if rejecting the plague god.

Li Weizhen had no choice but to put the pill back into his pocket, he didn't feel too embarrassed, on the contrary, he thought that the door boy just now was quite interesting, and his behavior was quite funny.

Maybe it's because I've been with Ye Tong for too long, and I'm used to being cautious and calm. It's rare to meet a young man today, and he will show his anger and anger without any fuss.

This is the fun of going out and traveling, seeing the appearance of all living beings.

Looking back at Ye Tong's expression, he was still so calm. When he observed carefully, he seemed to be a little unhappy, and he should be trying his best to restrain himself.

Perhaps in the eyes of some seniors, Ye Tong now has a very good quality.

But Li Wei really didn't like to see it, the age of thirteen or fourteen was supposed to be a carefree time for young people.At this age, Ye Tong has to cultivate a forbearing character due to the pressure from the outside world.The big reason is that his husband, his guide, failed to give him a good growth environment.

The children of the poor have to be in charge early, so they are afraid of making mistakes!

Li Weizhen, who could see some of Ye Tong's concerns, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said with a free and easy smile: "Don't take it too seriously, that's what begging for help is like! The future is long, we don't care about the gains and losses at this moment. Let's go, take you to a good place." place!"

The two came to the most prestigious Yanyu Avenue in Nancheng District, known as "Never Night".

On this long street full of colorful lights shining like a river of stars, the two of them saw the patrolmen maintaining the road security for the first time since they entered the city. Fortunately, they had a temporary pass, which could come in handy.

In addition to the patrol in charge of the road, after walking a third of the long street, I also saw the more well-armed and imposing special guards of the Perak Camp.

All the special guards of the Thunderbolt Camp are skilled in swordsmanship and Taoism, which is equivalent to the members of the Discipline Hall of the Taiyi Sect in the past, and they are an armed force that cannot be ignored in Funan City.However, because they wore blue military uniforms under the half-length armor, they were often called the "Blue Shirt Army" by the common people.

The Thunderbolt Camp is camped at Leijiu Mountain in the north of the city. The North City guard Gao Bin whom Li Weizhen knew before belongs to the Thunderbolt Camp, and his designation is the Gatekeeper of the Thunderbolt Camp.Although they are both part of the Suwei City team, the special service guards are obviously much more elite, which can be easily distinguished just by looking at the vigor of the soldiers.

Now about ten feet away in front of Li Weizhen, there are four special service guards standing in front of a singing and dancing workshop called "Taofangyuan".Only four people blocked the countless pedestrians who passed by, leaving a large open space in front of the door. All pedestrians automatically walked to the other side of the road, and no one dared to stop and wait and see.

These four secret service guards were like the big characters "Keep away from strangers" engraved on their foreheads.Although all officials have the power to intimidate civilians, but only a few people can suppress the existence of the scene like this, it must have been known for its prestigious deeds on weekdays, so that it can be so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Li Weizhen had already warned Ye Tong to act as low-key as possible after entering the city and abide by the city rules, and he himself intends to pass through this right and wrong place as soon as possible.Although he considers himself to be upright, but after all, his status is different now than in the past, and once it is official, there will be many things that cannot be explained clearly.

Meeting these high-ranking officials, I still couldn't help thinking in my heart: bad luck!

However, just when Li Weizhen was about to pass through the gate of Taofangyuan smoothly, he suddenly frowned and felt a very astonishing aura.

Li Weizhen quickly reminded Ye Tong: "Control the rein carefully, don't let the horse's hooves trample!"

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, a man flew out from the gate of Taofangyuan, and fell heavily on the open space outside the gate.Then look at the bruised nose, swollen face, and disheveled appearance, they were blown out by someone.

At the same time, the two bay red horses under Li Weizhen and Ye Tong seemed to be frightened, roaring and raising their front hooves.This was because the two tightened the reins in advance and turned the horse's head sideways, which prevented the horse from galloping forward in the first place and crashing into the crowd in front of it.

At the time of danger, Li Weizhen even released his breath to forcibly frighten the horse under him, which made the horse completely lose its mind and stop because of its numbness.

This sudden scene that frightened the passing horses was not caused by the unlucky guy who was beaten out of Taofangyuan, that kind of guy is not capable of this.

To investigate the instigator, it must be a secret service guard who came out of Taofangyuan next.

This person is obviously dressed as a leader. Although the half-length armor and blue military uniform he is wearing are the same as those of ordinary special service guards, there is an extra cape on the left shoulder, which is embroidered with a falcon pattern with silver silk thread, which is quite gorgeous!

Li Weizhen was very impressed with this kind of cloak that only covered half of his shoulders, because in the places he has been to so far, only the leaders of the fifth battalion in Funan City would wear cloaks like this.

In the hand of the special service commander, he also held a mild steel long whip, which was lingering with lightning.As soon as he made a move, the thunder and lightning twitched around the neck of the unlucky man just now, making the man painful but unable to scream.

This move has the meaning of establishing prestige, but it is unavoidably too ostentatious to display such prestige in front of the people all over the street.After a while, it will definitely cause a lot of discussion.

At least Li Wei really remembered that the law enforcers who belonged to the monk class in the city also had a set of rules to abide by.Such an unscrupulous method of using magic to torture suspects should be an illegal act.

This inevitably made people wonder whether the commander-in-chief had a feud with the suspect and deliberately humiliated him in public.

And because of this scene, the already slow flow of people on the street stagnated. Amidst the uproar, someone with sharp eyes shouted: "Look! The arrested person seems to be an adult!"

Then, someone quickly responded, "Yes, yes, it is Cao Siwu from the Metropolitan Government, Mr. Cao Yuankai!"

"The Metropolitan Council is in charge of construction and construction, and supervises all civil repairs in the city. I don't know what this Cao Siwu has committed?"

Someone pointedly said: "Haven't you heard? A few days ago, the Baixian Building in the east of the city collapsed, and many guests were killed! They said that they cut corners during the construction, but I don't know who is responsible for it from the Metropolitan Council." A seal given by the adults."

After inadvertently capturing these conversations, Li Weizhen already has a clear understanding of the current scene, because the city does not prohibit officials from entering and leaving the Fengyue place for pleasure, and there must be another reason for arresting people here.

Corruption is something that cannot be eradicated at all, it depends on how much it can be controlled.Not to mention that those in power in the dynasty and city-state are hard to resist the temptation under the many opportunities. As the former fairy family, the Taiyimen also raised a large group of moths who are rich in their own pockets?

Therefore, at this moment, Li Weizhen has been paying attention to that majestic special service commander, a female hero!

That's right, this unknown leader is a nun.Although he also wears a crown, a hairpin, and a military armor like a man, his exquisite figure is hard to ignore.

Perhaps it's because women's intuition is quite sensitive, the female leader and Li Weizhen soon looked into each other's eyes and looked at each other.

Li Weizhen just waited and watched with the idea of ​​admiring the other party's demeanor. Anyway, the road is impassable now, and he is idle when he is idle.

But the idea of ​​the female commander was to test. Out of her duty and habit, she wanted to rely on her confidence in her own consciousness to get to the bottom of Li Weizhen.

Suddenly, Li Weizhen felt as if an invisible needle had pricked his forehead.But they came and went quickly, and the other party couldn't even push the door open.

Li Weizhen subconsciously touched the brows that were neither painful nor itchy with his fingers, and responded with a smile to the cold eyes of the caring person.

It's hard to tell who's right and who's wrong in this kind of collision, just like when two men with swords on their waists passed by on the road, their sword hilts happened to collide with each other.Only narrow-minded people would consider it provocative.

The female commander also knew that her behavior just now was not very polite, and because she couldn't see Li Weizhen's details, she was already very jealous, so she took the initiative to avoid this awkward staring, pretending that nothing happened.

Not long after, a prison van drove up and took away the suspect. There was no more excitement to watch, and the crowd began to evacuate in an orderly manner. Li Weizhen also continued to ride forward.

In fact, I didn't go much further, just half a mile, or in other words, a distance of 75 feet.The two of them got off their horses, Li Weizhen winked, and a sensible young man stepped forward to receive them, led the horses to the alley, and brought them to the stables in the backyard.

Then there was a rather pretty client who approached enthusiastically, wanting to welcome the two of them into the door.

To receive such considerate service, how far have these two people come?It is on this Misty Rain Avenue, the leading song and dance studio, Fengyi Pavilion known as "the first wind and moon field in Tiannan"!

The Taofang Courtyard that I passed by just now is well-known enough. It is backed by the Jiaofang Secretary and only accepts officials big and small in the city. It is a place where ordinary people in the city and tourists with money cannot enter.

However, compared with the Fengyi Pavilion, which is completely owned by the Tan family, Taofangyuan, which has an official background, is like a tit and a phoenix. The gap is obvious.

After being shut down in the west of the city, this Fengyi Pavilion took it for granted and became the most ideal place to stay in Li Weizhen's eyes.The Tan family still firmly controls the position of city lord, presumably no one would dare to make trouble here.

This place has attracted much attention, but it is also dark under the lights, the safest!
