Chapter 3228: Slightly worse by three points(2/2)
Young Master Liu turned around and glanced at his float. He lit up a pot of dry smoke again out of boredom. He looked at Liu Zhi'an and asked curiously: "Old man, you just said that many people spend a lot of money just to see her.
Sometimes, they even get into fights.
In this way, that's why old man you took people to beat up my father-in-law.
No, it’s not because of her, right?”
Liu Zhi'an looked at Young Master Liu's curious expression and nodded generously without even thinking about it.
"That's right, the reason why I took people to beat up your father-in-law Li Zheng was because of her Ouyang Xiyue."
Although Mr. Liu had already guessed that it might be because of this, he was not really sure.
Now, when I see my old man, I admit it openly without hesitation.
Young Master Liu suddenly couldn't take a breath and started coughing repeatedly due to the smoke.
"Pfft, hum, cough cough cough... cough cough cough...
I went, actually, it was really because of her."
Liu Zhi'an glanced at Mr. Liu's strange expression, grabbed the fishing rod in front of him and lifted it hard. After seeing that the bait on the hook was fine, he immediately threw the hook into the water.
"It's so normal. Do you have such an expression?
There are two reasons why men fight.
One reason is due to interest conflicts, and the other reason is nothing more than women.
Back then, there was no conflict of interest between me and him, Li Zheng, so the source of the conflict between us was naturally because of the beautiful woman."
Young Master Liu thought for a moment and gave Liu Zhi'an a thumbs up.
"Old man, it's transparent."
"It's a small thing."
"Then you, why did you lead people to beat up my father-in-law?"
"At that time, during the debate between Dangyang Academy and the Imperial College, the scholar on the Imperial Academy's side missed a move and was defeated by the Dangyang Academy.
Your father-in-law Li Zheng, as the leader of the Imperial College, naturally felt unhappy.
So, after they left Dangyang Academy, your father-in-law Li Zheng took a few of his entourage to Nichang Pavilion to drink and soothe their sorrows.
After a man gets drunk, he meets a beautiful woman who is alluring to the country. What kind of moral character will he have in the future?
Even if I don’t tell you, you know what’s going on.”
Young Master Liu nodded with an expression of resentment, picked up the wine glass and put it in his mouth.
"Hehehe, I understand, I understand."
"After Dangyang Academy defeated the Imperial College, we students from Dangyang Academy naturally wanted to go down the mountain to celebrate.
Coincidentally, the place we went to was naturally the most popular Nichang Pavilion at that time.
Then, then, I, we, the students from Dangyang Academy, and your father-in-law Li Zheng are all because of this great beauty Ouyang Xiyue.
Just that, that’s all.
At that time, your father-in-law Li Zheng was accompanied by his entourage, all of whom were top-notch masters.
A group of people on our side also suffered a lot.
Fortunately, the old mother of Nishangge saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly sent people to the street to call for patrol troops.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say who will beat whom in the end.”
When Liu Mingzhi saw Liu Zhi'an put down his wine glass, he quickly picked up the pot and filled him with another glass.
"Then what? Your fight just ended like this?"
"How could it be so simple? Later, we were all taken to the Governor's Yamen by the soldiers patrolling the streets.
Then, it was at this time that we learned the true identity of your father-in-law, Li Zheng, in the Yamen.
I'm not afraid of embarrassment, to be honest, but I was so scared that my legs were shaking.
However, your father and I are not too embarrassed. At least I was just so scared that my legs were shaking.
The other people were so frightened that they sat in the lobby of the Yamen.
A few of those who were still standing were doing so by force.
Of course, that includes me."
"What happened next? My father-in-law, didn't he care about you?"
Liu Zhi'an drank a glass of wine and took a puff of cigarette with a sad expression.
"He does want to argue with us, but the key is that he must dare to continue arguing with us, right?
What is his identity? What is our group’s identity?
You must know that at that time, we had a drunken fight with each other in full view of the public.
Given his status, he is more afraid of this kind of thing being publicized than we are.
At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and a group of students from Jiangnan got into a fight over an oiran in a brothel.
If this kind of thing spreads out, and his brothers, His Royal Highnesses, and the imperial censors know about it, you should know what the consequences will be, right?"
"Understood."
"However, it's not like we paid nothing at all. We still lost a lot of money for soup and medicine."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Oh, it turns out that the cost of soup and medicine was also compensated. How much was the compensation?"
Liu Zhi'an touched the tip of his nose with an embarrassed look, then stretched out his hand to Young Master Liu and stretched out two fingers.
"Oh, twenty thousand taels of silver, that's really a lot.
But, then again, as an old man, buying a life with twenty thousand taels of silver is really not too much."
"Bullshit, what's 20,000 taels? It's 200,000 taels of silver."
Liu Dashao's tiger body trembled, and his eyes widened in shock.
"How much? Two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Liu Zhi'an saw the shocked expression on Young Master Liu's face, took a few deep breaths, directly lifted the wine on the low table and drank several large sips of the wine.
"Look, look, you also think that two hundred thousand taels of silver is too much for soup and medicine.
It was just a small bruise on his face, but he opened his mouth and asked us for 200,000 taels of silver for the decoction and medicine.
What decoction and medicine are worth so much money?
Taking Thousand-Year Ginseng to replenish the body and take it for three months in a row will not cost 200,000 taels of silver.
Bastard, tell me, tell me, your father-in-law Li Zheng, this old guy, has such a dark heart.
Besides, if he hadn't lost his moral character after drinking, would I have taken someone to beat him up?
It's obvious that he was at fault in the first place, I'm here to take advantage of the hero's righteousness to save the beauty.
As a result, I ended up spending more than 200,000 taels of silver with me.
