"Li Yi visited the brothel for a whole day. In the end, he drank in the Hero's Pavilion and was carried back.”
"Is that so? Could it be that Li Yi likes men? Hehe, I really couldn't tell! That should be a fake Ying Niang, right? Quite a few words."
"He looks a little feminine, but I didn't expect him to be so bold as to bring so many people to the Hall of Heroes.”
"Who are you looking for?"
"It's a new parrot. I've been there once, and that parrot doesn't usually receive guests. He pretended to be aloof and did not sleep with her. Just talking to her cost fifty taels of silver, which was extremely expensive.”
"Li Yi is going to Taihe Prefecture today. Why didn't he send 10,000 Miles?”
"Don't you know?" The novel network didn't jump.
"What?"
"Lord Wan is sick. It turns out that his cross-eyed eyes are about to merge into one. She seemed to be in a daze.”
"Is that so? I have some matters to attend to these few days, so I don't know about this news. Is there anything special?”The novel network didn't jump.
"Haha, and the Gu family grain store caught fire yesterday. Boss Gu suffered heavy losses and almost died. Ever since Li Yi went to the Hero's Pavilion, Parrot had mysteriously disappeared, and the Hero's Pavilion had also closed its doors.”
The lords of Pingjin gathered at the north gate of Pingjin, gossiping about the news. Currently, the most eye-catching person in Pingjin was Pingjin Prefecture Overseer Li Yi. Whether it was the streets, the old, the young, women, or children, he was the one who was talked about the most.
Later, it was rumored that Li Yi had been beaten crazy and fell ill for a moment, so he released food to relieve the disaster.
After a while, someone said that Li Yi had visited all the brothels in Ping Jin in a day and slept with 20 little girls. Each of them was less than 28 years old and was as beautiful as a fairy.
Immediately after, someone began to publicize that Li Yi was actually a manly man. Every one of the 5,000 soldiers under him had an affair with him.
Rumors spread everywhere, and they became more and more evil. Regardless of whether they were groundless rumors or groundless rumors, they were spread like gods. They talked to their heart's content and listened to it for fun. As for whether these things could withstand scrutiny, few people would care.
Ma Xuhai's face was as dark as water. This time, he had suffered a loss in silence when Li Yi released the food relief. Old Eagle's eyes had been pecked by a sparrow, that was an unspeakable anger. For three whole days, he couldn't sleep or eat well. No matter how he pondered, he couldn't figure out how the food of the City Treasury Division was gone. Could it be that Li Yi knew some spells?
Ma Zhiyao also frowned. He was not interested in Li Yi's rumors, but he was very curious about the fire of the Gu family's grain store. Boss Gu had always been meticulous and cautious. How could the Gu family be on fire? Could it be Li Yi? There were quite a few words. Otherwise, where did the seeds he ordered to be sent to him come from? This Li Yi was really daring! Since he was so daring, she had to go to his house and hit the wall a few more times. At that time, not to mention seeds, even silver and farming tools would be available. Not bad! Not bad!
Ma Zhiyao was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh out loud, causing everyone to roll their eyes.
Hu He, with his big belly, laughed out loud. This Li Yi was really interesting. He had used the imperial court's official grain to distribute food to the disaster relief, and he even dared to swagger into Taihe Prefecture. The Inspectorate and the City Treasury had probably secretly sent the news out. Wouldn't he be like a sheep entering a tiger's den if he went? It would be best if he didn't come back. By then, the Li family would be left with a room full of women. If he went to express his condolences and promised to help them rescue Li Yi, he would be afraid that they would not obediently hand over 5,000 troops. As long as they got their hands on the troops, it would be up to the heavens to save Li Yi! Let's do our best and leave it to fate. No one can blame anyone!
Li Yi rode on his horse and saw his colleagues who came to send him off from afar. All of them had strange expressions and looked at him with evil eyes.
"Uncle Li, what are these people up to? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Mu coughed awkwardly as he tried to think of a way to phrase his words.
Nighthawk, who had accompanied Li Yi to Taihe Prefecture, said unhappily,"Not to mention you, even all the Li family's personal guards are like this on the streets. Haven't you heard?”The novel network didn't jump.
"What?" Li Yi asked curiously.
Li Mu nervously winked at Nighthawk, afraid that he would say something unpleasant.
Nighthawk ignored him and said bluntly,""Ever since you went to the Hero Pavilion last time, the news has spread that you're very masculine and that all the Li family's personal guards are having an affair with you.”
"What?" Li Yi exclaimed. What the hell is this? He was not that desperate to have an affair with 5,000 soldiers!
"Which bastard spread this?”Li Yi cursed angrily. He looked at Ouyang Bo, Li Mu, Nighthawk, and the four bodyguards beside him.
Li Mu coughed lightly and said in a low voice,""If I'm not mistaken, these words were intentionally spread by some officials in Ping Jin. The young master's distribution of food to the people was very popular, which was not a good thing for the other officials.
However, they couldn't find any other evidence against Young Master, so they made an issue out of it. You want to slander Young Master's reputation."
"Then who does Uncle Li think it should be?" Li Yi asked in a low voice.”
"It should be someone from the Inspectorate." Now, they would spread the news so that they could make a fuss in the future. They would find an opportunity for Young Master Shen to be an official and not be able to keep himself clean.”
Li Yi looked in Ma Xuhai's direction and saw the cloak on his body. He smiled slyly.
Li Mu suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion,""Young Master, I wonder what Young Master said to the Matriarch that day. This morning, the Matriarch took out the soft armor that she had not used for many years. She even took out her Green Dragon Halberd. This…"
"Nothing. I just told her that I stole someone else's food. Maybe someone will take advantage of me not to have any ideas about the Li family and ask her to protect the Li family." Don't worry, the Matriarch used to be a famous hag in the martial world. It's already good enough that she doesn't go out and bully others. You won't hurt yourself."
"Young Master, if the Matriarch really goes out…" Li Mu said worriedly while breaking out in cold sweat.
"Aren't you at home? I'll leave the family matters to you. I want to say goodbye to Lord Ma.”
Both sides of the bluestone street at the north gate were filled with people who had come to watch the show. Looking at Li Yi, the most popular person in Pingjin, they were all pointing and whispering. The power of gossip was so powerful. The people who were originally grateful to Li Yi naturally stood in the crowd to watch the show after hearing a few rumors about Li Yi. Naturally, gossiping was the best way to pass the time and entertain the body and mind.
Li Yi came in front of the Pingjin official and quickly got off his horse, giving a bow. He walked in front of Ma Xuhai and whispered,""Lord Ma, can we talk in private?”
Ma Xuhai was stunned. He followed Li Yi to the city wall and asked,"Does Lord Prefecture Overseer have any instructions?”
Li Yi's face was bitter as he said with tears in his eyes,"Lord Ma, ever since I inherited the position of Prefecture Overseer, I have been restless every day. I know I'm young and can't achieve great things. It was all thanks to Uncle's help that we were able to pacify Jin An Ning. Now that my nephew has privately distributed food to the disaster relief, it will be difficult to escape death. The Li family is thin and has no one to stand upright. I'm afraid the womenfolk in the family will also be implicated by me.
The reason he went to Taihe Prefecture this time was firstly to inquire about the date of lifting the city seal. Secondly, he wanted to move around in secret. No matter what, he had to ensure the safety of the women in the family.
Li Yi's life and death are unknown. I hope uncle will take care of my family's matters on account of the many years of being an official with my father. Li Yi thanks uncle here."
Ma Xuhai's eyes flashed. He thought that Li Yi had deliberately asked him to hide his theft of food. He was unhappy, but he did not show it on his face. He held Li Yi, who was about to kneel, with both hands.
He consoled her,"Lord Prefecture Overseer is young and promising. He will definitely achieve something in the future. Why belittle yourself?" As for the distribution of food and disaster relief, it is really a helpless move, Daren need not worry too much.”
Li Yi lowered his head and smiled miserably. He looked a little weak. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed very badly.
Ma Xuhai took the opportunity to change the topic." Your Excellency, you must take care of your body. The cold is still very strong in the morning and evening. You must put on more clothes."”
Li Yi raised his head and looked at Ma Xuhai gratefully. His eyes were a little reluctant to part with Ma Xuhai. It was as if he was a hero who would never return. Ma Xuhai was also moved. Thinking of the ups and downs of officialdom and the uncertainty of life, he felt some sadness of parting.
"Daren, you must take care of yourself when you go to the Taihe Prefecture!”
Li Yi's face turned red. He blew on the heater and said unnaturally,"Uncle, I came out in a hurry because I was troubled. Can I borrow Uncle's cloak?”
Ma Xuhai hesitated slightly. Every time an official retired and returned home, his colleagues would give him a cloak. However, that was because of their deep friendship. Like-minded people would put on a deep expression and personally put their own cloak on each other to express their longing. Later, this "parting cloak" became a way to praise the achievements of the transferred officials. It was similar to the Myriad People Umbrella and the Merit Praise Table. Although Li Yi did not leave his post in Taihe Prefecture, with so many commoners watching, he wanted to give himself a "parting cloak" to show his public morality!
Ma Xuhai understood and smiled lightly." Alright, alright. Let this old man's thin clothes block the wind and cold for you!"”
As he spoke, he quickly took off his cloak and personally draped it over Li Yi's shoulders.
Li Yi had a sincere expression on his face as he smiled gratefully and said,"Thank you, Uncle!"
Not far away, all the officials were dumbfounded. Even the other officials of the Inspectorate expressed doubts about their relationship.
From their point of view, Li Yi and Ma Xuhai were pulling each other. Li Yi was petite to begin with, so when he swayed his body, he looked like a little bird. What surprised them the most was that Ma Xuhai actually took off his cloak and personally put it on Li Yi. Not simple, not simple at all!
Li Yi's concept of being a good man had already been preconceived in everyone's minds. Such an ambiguous action was naturally not a parting gift like a parting cloak in the eyes of these people who liked to gossip. Instead, it had a deeper meaning.
Could it be that the two of them had that kind of relationship? This caused all the officials to start speculating.
The commoners who came to watch the show seemed to have found evidence of Li Yi's good manliness. They discussed animatedly and snickered.
Nighthawk pursed his lips and said,"What is Li Yi doing?" Why are you acting like a girl?"
"I've never seen him as a man." Ouyang Bo said with a straight face.”
Nighthawk smiled evilly and leaned to Ouyang Bo's side, asking,""Li Yi has been visiting brothels for the whole day, but he really hasn't slept with a single woman?”
"No!"
"Have you slept with a man before?" The novel network didn't jump.
"No!"
"Hehe, then why are you jealous? His face was dark. I thought you had an affair with him too. It seemed that Li Yi was still too young. The Matriarch was right. I should give him some pointers and let him know the benefits of knowing women.”
