Neighboring school old enemy bows to me

You are in good health... This sentence seems to be an extremely subtle hint, every time I think of it, it makes my heart itch.

Qiao Yue recalled the love letter that He Zhiyang had given him in the past few months. Combining the two, he became more and more sure that someone still had some evil thoughts about him.

Otherwise, with his arrogance, how could he personally write a love letter to a man, and write it sincerely?

Moreover, He Zhiyang has been in brothels, met the young man, and knows about the affairs between men, maybe... some of his actions have moved him?

Qiao Yue held his chin to ponder, and after thinking about it deeply, he felt that this was not the case. On weekdays, He Zhiyang always stared hard like a fighting cock, never blushing at all, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't want to have evil thoughts...

Maybe... I can test him out myself?

Thoughts flashed across Qiao Yue's eyes.

He Zhiyang didn't know Qiao Yue's secret thoughts at all, and he was taking advantage of the morning class to catch up on sleep.

"Why have you been downcast for the past two days?" He Zhiyang woke up and saw Xu Yiqing drooping his head obviously in a bad mood, and stepped forward to pat Xu Yiqing's head: "Why don't you skip class and go for a walk outside?"

Xu Yiqing shook his head and said: "Brother Yang, my mother is not in good health recently, I want to move out of the Imperial College to take care of her in the future."

He Zhiyang paused: "What did the doctor say?"

"It's because I'm overthinking, I want to rest." Xu Yiqing hesitated to say: "My mother is inconvenient to come to the Imperial College for business, brother Yang, you paid for me for a year, right? Can I get it back after that?"

He Zhiyang was shocked when he heard the words: "Aunt Xu's condition is very difficult? She was fine a few days ago, why didn't she come again all of a sudden?"

The business at the gate of Guozijian has always been flocked to by the people in the capital, and he spent money to fight for that small stall. He can earn five or six taels of silver in a morning, which is more impressive than the salary of a small official in the yamen.

He knew that Xu's family was struggling. How could Aunt Xu turn away such a good business when she was ill?

If they give up now, how will they survive in the future?

Under He Zhiyang's repeated questioning, Xu Yiqing hesitated to tell the truth.

He Zhiyang's face became colder the more he heard it, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "You said that Jin Yiwei defended himself in front of him, but turned his back and refused to recognize anyone, and instead collected double the money?"

Not to mention, this tyranny really looks like they did it.

Xu Yiqing lowered his eyes and said: "The Jin Yiwei came to collect the money, and many people have seen it."

In the past few days, Xu Yiqing's relationship with Jin Yiwei has become increasingly harmonious, and he even helped them copy a lot of books.

But when I got home, I only found out the faces behind them from my mother, and my hands were shaking with anger.

He endured and endured, he wanted to get through it calmly, but right now he has to make it clear to He Zhiyang, so that he can retreat completely.

He Zhiyang didn't talk too much, he was so aggressive that he wanted to come to the door and make a move.

"Brother Yang, don't get angry with them." Xu Yiqing stopped him, and said helplessly: "It's not a big deal, I let my mother avoid the limelight, they are powerful, why should we provoke them?"

He had already made a private agreement with Jijiu and agreed to the transfer.

In the spring of next year, he will take the Chunwei examination, and in three or four months at most, he will be able to pass the examination to select officials.

With his ability, he can easily pick a Beijing official, and it won't be too late to take care of his mother when the time comes.

His biological father passed away early, the capital worships high and low, and no one has ever helped their mother and son. After entering school, he met He Zhiyang. Brother Yang had a conflict with the Li family in order to help him. I heard... was even tied up once.

Xu Yiqing didn't know the instigator behind it, but he vaguely sensed that it had something to do with the Cuju incident

Jin Yiwei attacked fiercely, how could he let He Zhiyang take risks for him again?

He Zhiyang was in a hurry, and walked towards the school gate and said: "Aren't they playing tricks on the surface? Qiao Yue was so attentive when he made the move, but he actually made such a hookup behind his back. I have to ask him to find out!"

If it was someone else, He Zhiyang probably only had anger and injustice in his heart.

But Qiao Yue actually did this? !

Qiao Yue seemed to be alone with him that day, and he praised his loyalty so much, but he went to pay the cashier secretly! ?

Thinking of being tricked by Qiao Yue, He Zhiyang felt sore and wronged, and suddenly remembered that Qiao Yue came out to look for him last time, and asked his brother for Zhuangzi!

It really is Jinyiwei!

I can't get rid of my nature, even petty profits will bite me hard, so why do I still make superficial things to befriend him? !

"Qiao Qianhu?" Xu Yiqing pondered, "I guess Qiao Qianhu probably doesn't know about this."

He Zhiyang was startled, stopped and looked at him.

"My mother said that Qiao Qianhu helped him many times, so I thought he wouldn't be so cruel. My mother said that he had never seen this person before, and that he was extremely arrogant. He also criticized the Imperial College in his words."

Xu Yiqing said: "I guess it might be someone who has a grudge against the Imperial College."

He Zhiyang smiled coldly, it turned out that Li Xiao was dishonest again.

He remembered the price increase that his classmates were talking about, guessed about it, called Xu Yiqing to the stall together, and said straight to the vendor: "You have been increasing prices in recent days? Is there an accident?"

The vendors didn't know why he asked this question, they looked around in horror and shook their heads.

"Don't worry if you have something to say." He Zhiyang said without changing his expression, "Is it related to Jinyiwei next door? I also have people in Jinyiwei, and Qiao Qianhu who is in charge of them is me...friend, don't lie to me!"

"Young master... are you really friends with Jin Yiwei who is in charge?" Those people looked at each other, and finally couldn't help pouring out their bitterness: "You don't know, we don't want to raise the price, it is Jin Yiwei who raised our price for us, and asked Let's pay another monthly silver, which is about the same as our monthly profit... If this continues, we might as well hand over the silver to Wucheng Bingmasi!"

"The Jin Yiwei only brought three people here. There are few people. It looks like it may not be the intention of the superior. You can't help us find out. If it is not the intention of the superior, your friend can help you with this matter. After all, we don’t need eggs to touch stones..."

He Zhiyang already understood what happened, he roughly described Li Xiao's appearance, and asked: "I asked you to collect the silver taels, but this person?"

Everyone nodded hurriedly, yes!

He Zhiyang sneered, as expected, Li Xiao did it secretly.

As for why he suddenly reached out to the street vendor, it is probably related to the Cuju fiasco and public humiliation.

He Zhiyang calmed down for a moment, called Huo Yao and Feng Jing, and blocked Li Xiao in the back street of Jixian after school.

"Li Xiao, I really think highly of you!" He Zhiyang folded his arms coldly, and said condescendingly: "I only knew that you couldn't win before, but I didn't expect you to be so fucking loser!?"

Li Xiao had just been taught a lesson by Qiao Yue, and when he saw that He Zhiyang was somewhat frightened, he snorted coldly and said, "What is the meaning of Brother Yang's words? Brother, I didn't understand!"

"Our grievances, find someone else to vent our anger?" He Zhiyang chuckled, but there was a chill in his eyes: "Not too open, right? En?"

Li Xiao has always only been interrogating people, so why was he ever forced to interrogate him!He clenched his fists tightly, choking back the words he wanted to scold, and said coldly, "Why the hell are you everywhere!? Jin Yiwei is on business, so why should he listen to your orders?"

"Small street vendors can make a living in Jinyiwei?" He Zhiyang squinted his eyes and said, "Competing with the handyman in the capital? Do all of you know that you are so successful?"

Li Xiao snorted coldly, unwilling to explain to He Zhiyang: "It's not up to you to give me advice on what my lord is doing! Also! I kindly advise you about our Jinyiwei's affairs! Stop meddling in the future!"

Don't push him, He Zhiyang's family is nothing more than an earl after all, in this capital where nobles walk everywhere, it's really not enough for his Li family!

"If Zongqi Li really has the heart, why don't you make things difficult for the common people?" He Zhiyang stretched out three fingers and said coldly: "Three days is the limit. After three days, if you don't return the money you confiscated, then Yang Brother has no choice but to let you pay it back with something else!"

The young man stared at him coldly with his arrogant eyes, and after saying these harsh words, he led Xu Yiqing and the others to turn around and leave.

Provoked by He Zhiyang's attitude of looking down, Li Xiao let out a sneer, his eyes full of hostility.

He Zhiyang's bullshit pretending to be Huwei, but he really takes himself seriously?

He said with certainty that he should pay it back with other things?Who gave him the courage to dare to say these words to himself? !

A creepy and cold smile slowly emerged from the corner of Li Xiao's mouth.

Well, for Qiao Yue's sake, he endured He Zhiyang for the last time!

But he has plenty of ways to rule the Xu family!

Two days later in the evening, He Zhiyang was preparing to have dinner with his family in the flower hall, when the housekeeper came in and reported that the Xu family was looking for him, claiming to be He Zhiyang's classmate.

He Zhiyang went out to welcome him: "Yiqing, why are you here at this time?"

Under the moonlight, Xu Yiqing's face was pale, and his hands were trembling: "Brother Yang, my mother was arrested by Jin Yiwei and sent to jail!"

As soon as the words fell, the He family all changed their colors.

The imperial prison is the prison set up by the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town.

He Zhiji stepped forward, pressed Xu Yiqing's shoulder and said, "Don't panic, even Jin Yiwei has a reason to arrest someone, what did they say?"

Xu Yiqing has been diligently studying and preparing for exams since he was a child. He never thought of such unexpected disasters. He suppressed his sobs and said, "They said...they said that my house is owned by the government. , they took my mother away without saying a word... Brother Yang, this house is my ancestral house, it was left by my father, so there must be no problem!"

The Xu family's mother and son's house is completely desolate, and only the house left by their father has shelter in the capital. If the house is confiscated, they will have no place to stand in the capital.

He Zhiyang's heart trembled when he was blown by the cold wind, this matter must have been done by Li Xiao behind his back...

Jin Yiwei... Jin Yiwei... how far will they go when they arrest people and send them to prison?

He has always judged others by himself, but now he realizes that Jinyiwei is as deep as a cold pool, and he cannot use his own experience to measure what kind of terrible things these people will do...

"Wandering people's property and robbing people's property is nothing for Jin Yiwei." He Zhiji sighed: "Of course there is no problem with your house, but as long as you are targeted by these tigers and wolves, of course you will make random excuses. With one hand covering the sky, how can you reason?"

A little Jinyiwei captain, even going out is frightening.

They bullied others and ran amok. Many things were just done at will, but it was tantamount to a catastrophe for the people in the capital.

Xu Yiqing and He Zhiyang froze in place, without saying a word for a long time, they were both teenagers and had never experienced anything in the world, but now they felt that they were being entangled by the ghosts of hell for a moment, and their breathing was tight.

Ren Anbo didn't think deeply about it, he stepped forward and said, "Yiqing, don't be too hard on yourself, next year's spring will be important, at worst, you will move to Bo's mansion and live and eat with Zhiyang."

These words were intended to be comforting, but hearing Xu Yiqing's ears meant that his mother would never return.

He could no longer restrain his emotions, cried and knelt down and said: "Uncle, please, please save my mother! Today is a great kindness, and I will repay it in the future if I will be smashed to pieces."

After all, he knelt down and kowtowed.

The He family hurriedly stopped him, and He Zhiyang said angrily: "Father, what do you mean by that? If I hadn't gone to find Li Xiao, Aunt Xu would not have been imprisoned. I can't stay out of this matter. I will definitely go to rescue Xu Auntie, you can figure it out!"

Ren Anbo was so annoyed by his son's attitude, could it be that He Fu said that he could reach out with his hand?

He Zhiji sighed from the bottom of his heart, comforted Xu Yiqing and said, "Don't panic, I was in the capital a few years ago, and I also know a lot of people from Fusi in Beizhen. I'll go check it out for you tomorrow."

The He family asked Xu Yiqing to stay with He Zhiyang, and planned to think of a solution tomorrow.

"Yiqing, I'm sorry." Seeing that the tears on Xu Yiqing's face were still wet, He Zhiyang's heart was in a ball: "I shouldn't have looked for Li Xiao, I shouldn't have been impulsive, I..."

"No, Brother Yang!" Xu Yiqing looked at him, with tears in his eyes, but his voice was firm: "I remember you said before the Cuju match that we swallowed our anger and tacitly allowed them to do evil. Do we have to just rely on patience to escape?" One calamity after another? When is the end!?"

"Besides, this matter will definitely not be avoided. With Jin Yiwei's temperament, it is only a matter of time before he finds my home. Even if he doesn't look for them, they will provoke them in every possible way, and we will just struggle to survive!"

Xu Yiqing smiled sadly and said: "Your Majesty trusts the factory guards and allows the hawks and dogs to run rampant. It's the fault of the current situation. Brother Yang, you haven't done anything wrong, why blame yourself?"

He reads well, has a clear mind, and has a thorough understanding of the current situation, including the so-called friendship between the two schools, He Zhiyang, Huo Yao, Li Ji, etc. are all young masters from official families, and they take it as fun every day, but he From the beginning to the end, he knew to keep a distance from Jin Yiwei, and never got too close.

He Zhiyang paced in the room, gritted his teeth and said: "Why! That's your house, why Jin Yiwei can take it as he pleases, and even arrest people and put them in prison! They are officials of the imperial court, what's the difference between being a hooligan? ?!"

"I must try to clarify this matter." Xu Yiqing said slowly: "There are naturally righteous and upright people in Jinyiwei, but it is not a day or two for them to poison the people and humiliate the scholars. I can't bear what happened today. The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there is the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple, and it is not the Jin Yiwei that covers the sky with one hand! The big deal is that there is a Dengwen drum outside the yamen of the General Administration Department in the capital! Can't I seek justice?"

The Dengwen Drum was established by the founding emperor of the Daming Dynasty for judicial fairness. According to the law, anyone can beat the drum to state grievances and report officials.

It's just a display, and I've never heard of anyone actually going up to hit it.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, He Zhiyang also began to think carefully: "Yiqing, apart from the land deed, do you have evidence to prove that the house is the inheritance of the Xu family's ancestors? Or other documents, we will carry them with us."

He traveled through modern times, and when he heard Xu Yiqing's words about going to court, his first reaction was to collect evidence and hold it tightly.

Xu Yiqing was stunned: "It seems to be there... I only know that there is a land deed. This house seems to be awarded to the ancestors of the Xu family by the dignitaries. There should be documents..."

"Let's go, collect all these and bring them with you."

Naturally, Xu Yiqing's awareness of evidence cannot be compared with that of He Zhiyang from modern times: "Now...the night ban is about to come."

"Go right away." He Zhiyang glanced at the night outside the window: "You have to bring all the paperwork with you, otherwise no one will believe us when we say nothing, it's the proof of our theory with Jin Yiwei, let's go ! So as not to be preempted.”

The two of them didn't go through the gate of the uncle's mansion, but went out through the corner gate, braved the cold wind and went straight to Xu Yiqing's house to look for the land deed.

The Xu family has studied and been an official for generations, and the ancestral residence in the capital is not bad, but after Xu's father passed away due to illness, the Xu family could not make ends meet, and their status plummeted.

The title deed and some documents were placed in a sandalwood box on the cabinet, He Zhiyang took them out on tiptoe, opened the box and checked the documents one by one.

He opened a piece of paper, and what caught his eyes was dense mottled handwriting.

He Zhiyang glanced at it twice and frowned slightly. This seemed to be a suicide note.

"Yiqing, did your father die of illness?" He Zhiyang called Xu Yiqing who was searching elsewhere: "But look at this letter...is...is it written by your father?"
