Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 9 Exoneration



Chapter 9 Exoneration
On the road from Chang'an to Jinzhou, Li Qinzai was so tired that he was about to die.

Walking, whether it is a stroll or a brisk walk, was a form of exercise respected by the world in previous lives, but Li Qinzai felt that this way was even more painful than Ling Chi.

It had only been half a day since he left Chang'an City, and he had only walked more than a dozen miles under the escort of two officials. Li Qinzai felt that his legs no longer belonged to him.

It was sore and numb, and there might be blisters on the feet, and it was painful to walk a few steps.

Looking back, the three of them didn't walk very far at all, and even the outline of Chang'an City was clearly in sight.But Li Qinzai was like a dead fish out of water, rolling his eyes and hurting all over his body.

After walking one or two hundred steps, he fell to the ground and asked for a rest. This rest lasted at least half an hour. After the two officials begged, he lazily got up and walked a few hundred more steps like a leisurely stroll...

"Buy three horses, can't we ride all the way to Lingnan? I bought the money for the horses, and when I get to Lingnan, I can treat you to lychees and sleeping mother monkeys." Li Qinzai is as generous as a high-ranking guest.

The official's face was ugly, probably because the field of sleeping monkeys was too curious to accept.

"Forgive me, Wu Shaolang, this... really won't work."

Another officer also laughed: "You are a large number of Wu Shaolang, don't embarrass the villain. According to the law, you must walk on foot. If you are exposed by the officials along the way, Wu Shaolang will inevitably be impeached by the court officials again." , the two of us will also be questioned."

Li Qinzai sighed, at this moment he finally understood the feelings of the Tang monk in Journey to the West.

Tang Seng rode a white dragon horse for hundreds of thousands of miles, which could be done with a somersault on the neck of a monkey. He is the most honest monk in all ages.

Now Li Qinzai understands, it's not that Tang Seng didn't want to, but because he was afraid that the Bodhisattva in the sky would find out that he was cheating. I have been.

Therefore, life is like a game, which can be resurrected infinitely, but it is best not to bring cheats.

"If I really walked over with two feet, I might have died on the road before I got out of Guanzhong. The two of you can only take my body to Lingnan to find a geomantic treasure and bury it..."

"In a place I'm not familiar with, I have no chance to invite relatives and friends to dinner. It's all because you don't let me buy horses." Li Qinzai persuaded without giving up.

The officer's face was ugly, but he still firmly refused.

Li Qinzai sighed, through constant persuasion and testing, he understood the bottom line of the two officials.

It seems that buying a horse is really not enough. In their eyes, the horse is their sister-in-law, and they cannot ride it themselves, let alone outsiders.

He is very dedicated to his duties, respectful to the children of the powerful and powerful, but still able to stick to his principles.

It made Li Qinzai have to pretend that he was a man of high morals, and he was ashamed to bribe them with silver cakes.

Looking up at the sky, it was already evening.

Li Qinzai was a little uneasy.

He didn't intend to really go to Lingnan at all, and dawdled all the way after leaving Chang'an, just waiting for a news, and a damn craftsman who seemed to have released his pigeons.

It was getting later and later, and Li Qinzai was getting more and more restless.

If there is no good news from Chang'an City today, is it necessary to sleep in the wilderness tonight?

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the wild in summer, and there should be a lot of wild animals in this era, and there is no place to take a bath for those who are covered in dust and sweat...

No matter how difficult the environment is, Li Qinzai's quality of life must not be low. In a small room with four walls, a flower must be placed, which is an attitude that lives up to life.

"It's getting dark, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today, so I decided to camp on the spot." Li Qinzai announced his decision in an unquestionable tone.

The two officials looked at each other and answered with a bitter face.

If you follow this path, you will probably spend most of your life in the south of the Five Ridges. When you are dying, your children and grandchildren will ask you what you have done in this life, and how will you answer?

I just sent a prisoner to Lingnan, and his life passed by, oh~~
Li Qinzai sat cross-legged on the spot, and naturally began to assign tasks.

"You, go hunting nearby and get some game. You, go gather firewood and make a fire to build a tent, and boil some hot water. I'll soak my feet first."

The two officials sighed, did not dare to resist, and acted honestly according to Li Qinzai's instructions.

As soon as they moved, the three of them heard the faint sound of horseshoes in the distance at the same time.

The two officials looked at each other inexplicably, but Li Qinzai's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and soon appeared in the sight of the three of them.

Immediately, a knight dressed in iron armor and dressed as the imperial army came at a fast speed. During the speeding, he saw the three Li Qinzai in front of him, and looked at their clothes again. The knight rejoiced and immediately reined in his horse.

"Is the British grandson Li Qinzai in front of you?" the knight asked loudly.

Li Qinzai smiled, stood up and dusted off his clothes: "Exactly."

The knight shouted: "By decree, Li Qinzai is exonerated, and he can be released and returned to Beijing!"

Li Qinzai's expression was calm, as if he was not surprised by the sudden news.

The two officials were shocked. They were stunned for a long time, and then they were overjoyed.

Is it not the same torture for the officials escorted to travel thousands of miles?At this time, he was released as soon as he left Chang'an City, and the official servant was naturally spared a lot of hard work.

"Congratulations to Wu Shaolang!" The official hurriedly bowed to Li Qinzai to congratulate him.

Li Qinzai stretched his waist, and said leisurely: "I announce that today's half-day tour in the suburbs of Chang'an has come to a successful conclusion, let's go home!"

…………

Returning to Chang'an City from the suburbs of Beijing is very fast.

Li Qinzai refused to walk again even after being beaten to death. After discussing with the knight delivering the decree for a long time, the last handful of copper coins were stuffed into the knight's arms, and the knight pulled Li Qinzai onto the horse with a helpless expression.

A horse carried two people and hurried back to Chang'an City. It was just dark when they entered the city.

As for the two hard-fated officials, forgive Li Qinzai for not being able to take care of them, so let's go back to the city by ourselves.

In the British residence, the servants were using long poles to carry two dim lanterns, and hung them under the eaves of the main entrance.

As night fell, when the lights were on, outside the dimly lit Duke's Mansion, a slightly lonely figure stood outside the open space not far away, staring at the plaque with gold letters on a black background on the lintel of the Duke's Mansion with fascination.

The figure is solitary and independent, blending into the dim and dark light and shadow, unique but seems out of place in this world.

The tribal team on duty outside the mansion tonight is still Liu Ah Si.

Someone outside the mansion stood still for a long time, which caught Liu Ahsi's attention, and after a closer look, he found that figure looked familiar.

After looking at it again and again, Liu Ah Si suddenly blurted out in surprise, "Fifth Shaolang has returned home!"

The Buqus looked over one after another, and immediately someone ran into the mansion to report, and Liu Ahsi and a group of Buqus surrounded him.

"Fifth Shaolang, you..." Liu Ah Si hesitated to speak.

The decree of returning to Li Qinzai was sent from the palace to the suburban road of Beijing, but it was not known to Huiguo's mansion, and no one in the mansion knew that Li Qinzai had been exonerated.

Li Qinzai smiled: "Si, tell the family that I'm back, and ask the butler to choose a maid who is pleasing to the eye, and I want to come for a little health care."
