Chapter 102 Quarrel
After drinking too much but not drunk, Lu Kun ended the meal at a critical point. It was obvious that he was a person with great self-control.
Of course, Huang Feng didn't have anything wrong at all. The two of them strolled out. As soon as they stepped out of the threshold of Tianshui Building, they met a group of people on the street.
I thought they were just passing by, but they didn't expect the other party to see them and block them directly in front of Lu Kun.
The young man walking in the middle sneered: "Let's see who this is. Isn't this the second young master of the Lu family? He actually came to Tingshui Tower for dinner leisurely and elegantly. I was about to go find you."
Huang Feng saw that this group of people were dressed in casual clothes, but they didn't have much arrogance and domineering energy. From this, Huang Feng judged that they probably had a personal grudge with Lu Kun, so he stayed silent beside them.
Lu Kun squinted his eyes and said, "Hey, Pan Yaozong, I didn't expect to meet you here. What do you want from me?"
"What do I want to do with you?" Pan Yaozong, who was half a head shorter than Lu Kun, took another step forward aggressively, "I heard that you were framed today and someone put cornflower seeds under your car?"
Lu Kun smiled and said, "There is such a thing, and you are quite well-informed."
"Am I well-informed? You asked people to go to the Ministry of Punishment to take the person away. How could I not know?" Pan Yaozong shouted, "Lu Kun, have you forgotten your identity? Your father is the minister of Dali Temple, and you are nothing." , what qualifications do you have to remove people from the Ministry of Punishment."
When Pan Yaozong yelled, he found that Lu Kun ignored him at all and was explaining to the people next to him.
Lu Kun said slowly: "Brother Huang, this man is the son of Pan Jianxiong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. Although he is a colleague of the Third Division, our two families don't get along well. Of course, my father and his father often have different political opinions. He and I, It's a personal grudge.
We took part in the imperial examination at the same time and bet on a good horse. I came in second place. Did he... Brother Huang, guess what? "
"Tannhua?"
Huang Feng thought that Pan Yaozong had just been beaten by Lu Kun, who had no intention of going to court, and he was dissatisfied. Unexpectedly, Lu Kun laughed loudly after hearing this: "There were a total of twenty-four candidates on the gold list back then. He was the last one. I didn't even think about it." I don’t know where he got the courage to bet with me. His horse is pulling my cart now, the same one Brother Huang saw today.”
Speaking of the latter part, Lu Kun laughed so hard that he was out of breath, and Pan Yaozong's expression became much uglier: "Lu Kun, you are still bringing up old things, shut up!"
Unexpectedly, Lu Kun said again: "Your last place cannot be..."
Pan Yaozong knew what Lu Kun was going to say. There were rumors among the public that he was given the last place because of his father's face and because he was afraid that it would be too embarrassing for him to fail.
He could tolerate losing his love for his horse to Lu Kun for pulling the cart, but he couldn't tolerate slandering his imperial examination results, even if he was selected last.
Pan Yaozong shouted: "Lu Kun, you are a commoner now, slandering my official and slandering the fairness of the imperial examination. What crime should you be guilty of!"
Lu Kun also felt that he was too drunk and said a bit too much: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."
Pan Yaozong snorted: "Also, send the people and evidence back to me. That's the Ministry of Punishment's business."
Lu Kun was puzzled: "I said that you, a small chief of the Ministry of Punishment and the Punishment Treasury, have such lenient control. Could it be that you have fallen in love with that bag of rice seeds, right?"
Pan Yaozong was furious: "You fart!"
Lu Kun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then you should understand the seriousness of this matter."
"Then why don't you send the person directly to Dali Temple, first to the Ministry of Punishment..." Pan Yaozong said, and suddenly realized, "You asked the Ministry of Punishment to register the people and the evidence in the book, which is actually to be a witness for you, so that no one can Criticize.”
"You're not stupid." Lu Kun said with a smile, "This matter is no longer something you and I can interfere with. It's useless for you to be unhappy. If your father is unhappy, he will naturally go to my father to ask for someone.
So, hurry up, go for a walk, and have fun wherever you and your friends should go, and don't be an eyesore in front of me. "
Pan Yaozong gritted his teeth: "Please show some respect to me."
Lu Kun waved his hand impatiently: "Don't do this with me. I will become an official tomorrow and I can overwhelm you immediately. Believe it or not?"
Pan Yaozong refused to give in: "Do you believe that I will take you back to the Ministry of Justice and give you a beating for insulting an official of the imperial court?"
"After you beat me, your father will beat you. Do you believe it?"
"Do not believe."
"Then you try?"
Pan Yaozong was very moved, but he just thought about it. After the quarrel was over, he turned to look at Huang Feng.
In fact, he had noticed Huang Feng for a long time, but the feeling of being crushed by his appearance while standing together was particularly unpleasant, so he ignored it on purpose.
However, seeing Lu Kun explaining his identity to Huang Feng just now, he felt that he attached great importance to the person in front of him, which made him curiously ask: "Who is this pretty boy?"
Pan Yaozong recognized all the officials in the capital, big and small, and the sons of the princes and ministers. There was absolutely no one like Huang Feng, that's why he spoke so arrogantly.
Lu Kun looked at Huang Feng and asked him if he wanted to introduce him.
Huang Feng shook his head. He didn't need Lu Kun to speak before he took the initiative and said, "Little black face, I don't want to get to know you. Come on, your mother has called you home for dinner."
Pan Yaozong was stunned: "You..."
"What am I?" Huang Feng asked.
Lu Kun said from the side: "Pan Yaozong, don't offend people everywhere, you have to change your bad mouth."
Huang Feng added: "Why don't you cheat on me sooner or later?"
Pan Yaozong was speechless for a moment. He and Lu Kun could not quarrel alone, but now a pretty boy showed up, and the two of them sang and harmonized, and he was unable to resist.
As for the few friends behind him, they either didn't dare to interrupt or were unwilling to wade into this muddy water. No one helped him.
"I am the meanest? I can compare with you, and your friend..." Pan Yaozong thought about the words, "Birds of a feather, birds of a feather, let's go!"
After Pan Yaozong finished speaking, he led his people away.
After standing at the door and arguing with people for a while, and blowing the wind, Lu Kun sobered up a lot.
Huang Feng said beside him: "It shouldn't be him who framed you, he is..."
Lu Kun took over the conversation: "Well, he and I have been arguing since childhood. We don't like each other, but we can't be called enemies. How can I describe him? He is a little stupid, but not bad."
"Very pertinent evaluation." Huang Feng nodded.
Lu Kun asked: "You came to Zhaoyang, didn't you contact Princess Changning? She is in the palace. If you don't know how to contact her, I can help you."
Huang Feng quickly refused: "No, no, don't rush to find her."
Just kidding, he still wants to be quiet for a few more days.
"I see that Brother Huang is staying at an inn outside the city. If you don't mind, you can come to my house." Lu Kun vaguely guessed his thoughts and said with a smile, "There are many fun places inside and outside the capital. Brother Huang, if you look for them alone according to the "Yuzhuanpu", it will not only be troublesome, but you will also miss some good places that are not recorded in it. If Brother Huang doesn't mind, stay at my house and I will take you around the capital. How about it? I am so cordially inviting you, Brother Huang, don't refuse." Huang Feng thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I will bother you for a few days."
