Chapter 455： If one kick doesn't work, just kick him a few more times!

Chapter 455 If one kick doesn’t work, just kick him a few more times!

The person who came was a man in his forties, tall and handsome, wearing the uniform of a third-rank official.

Although this man has a smile on his face and seems to be very easy-going, it makes people subconsciously not dare to look down upon him.

Li Laoer felt vaguely that this person looked familiar, but he really didn't recognize him. Although Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng were both smiling, their expressions were somewhat guarded.

An idea flashed through Li Laoer's mind, and he finally woke up. This person was probably Wang Zechen, the eldest son of the Wang family who was an official outside.

Sure enough, the man stepped forward, smiled and held his hands, "Master Yushi, Master Liu, it's early for the court today, and it's boring to go home. I want to have a drink of tea with Uncle Zhongshan. I wonder if you two can be accommodating?"

Mr. Wen frowned, but Liu Zhiheng smiled more and more "kindly" and said: "Oh, it's Mr. Wang Zechen, I haven't seen him for several years.

"What Mr. Wang said, although we are on good terms with Mr. Li, we cannot make decisions for Mr. Li. If others heard what Mr. Wang said, they would think that we were keeping Mr. Li as his own slave to discipline him."

Wang Zechen raised his eyebrows, raised his hands and apologized: "I was not careful with my words. Mr. Liu, please don't be offended. I have been away for many years and suddenly returned to Kyoto, so I am still a little uncomfortable."

His posture was so low, and there were so many people watching around him. Even if Liu Zhiheng still wanted to stop him, there was no good reason.

Li Laoer took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, Mr. Liu, I happen to be a little thirsty. How about having a cup of tea with Mr. Wang. You two go to the Yamen to be busy first. I have nothing to do as an idle person, as long as I Mr. Wang is not afraid of wasting time, I can afford to accompany him no matter what."

Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen looked at each other. Although they were still a little worried, they could only nod.

Mr. Wen said, "Okay, didn't I say that Cyclamen has launched a new dish? Let's go have a meal at noon?"

“Okay, I guess I’ll go back early and wait for you first.” Li Laoer responded, and Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng left.

Left Li Laoer walked with Wang Zechen with a smile on his face.

Li Laoer was not nervous at all and asked casually: "When did you come back, sir? I heard that you have been away from home?"

Wang Zechen smiled and said, "Yes, I have been out in the field for seven or eight years. I received a letter from home a few years ago saying that my father was ill and my ineffective younger brother was even crazy. I was worried about it, so I quickly wrote a letter to beg the emperor to transfer me back. "

"The emperor's kindness is so great," Li Laoer turned around and bowed his hands to the palace, "The emperor is the most kind and considerate of his ministers. He is not like us, a small family, who are petty and can't get through anything..."

The two were talking and laughing while walking. People who didn't understand thought they were good friends for many years.

But who would have known that every word they spoke was quarrelsome and they wanted to make each other more than a dozen **** holes!

He walked out of the palace gate and got into the royal family's carriage.

Wang Zechen saw Li Laoer looking at the interior of the carriage with great interest, and he thought highly of this uncle with a mud-legged background.

"Uncle Li, you are getting on my carriage. Aren't you afraid that I will be disadvantageous to you?" "Unfavorable?" Li Laoer was very surprised and said with a smile, "How could it be? I don't think Mr. Wang has any reason to be disadvantageous to me." Ah? I’m even waiting for Mr. Wang to apologize to me! After all, Mr. Wang, a smart man, wouldn’t know anything about the previous conflicts between our families...

“At the very least, speaking of my eldest brother, Wang Qiusheng, the son-in-law who was snatched back by your Wang family, you should say sorry on behalf of your father and your brother, right?”

Li Laoer said this unceremoniously, and his face turned cold, "Mr. Wang is a merchant, he has little education, and it is understandable that he is arrogant. Mrs. Wang is old, and it is understandable that he is confused.

“But Mr. Wang is an important minister of the third rank, an official outside the country, and the parent of a common people. If you don’t distinguish right from wrong, then there is no need for us to drink tea today.”

Wang Zechen was silent for a moment, and finally smiled, "Uncle Li said something serious, Mr. Wang was just joking."

Li Laoer raised his eyebrows and did not respond. The eldest son of the Wang family is very cunning. He was the first to show his sword, but unfortunately it was like piercing cotton, without any effect...

Soon, the carriage arrived in front of a teahouse. Both of them wore official uniforms. As soon as they got off the carriage, they were warmly welcomed upstairs by the shopkeeper, who opened the best box.

Li Laoer frowned slightly, which made Wang Zechen curious and asked: "Uncle Li thinks this teahouse is not good, then let's find another one?"

Li Laoer shook his head and asked: "Master Wang, does he know how much money it costs to open this box, including tea and snacks?"

Wang Zechen thought he couldn't afford the money, so he replied: "One tael or eighty tael is enough. Uncle, just order the tea and snacks you like. I agreed to treat you today."

Li Laoer waved his hand, "Master Wang, does he know how much a pound of japonica rice costs in Xindu today? It's fifty cents! This is already the highest price in the past twenty years, and when we drink tea, we have to drink two hundred cents." A pound of japonica rice!

"These two hundred kilograms of japonica rice, mixed with coarse grains and wild vegetables, are enough for a family of five to live for half a year. Mr. Wang was born into a wealthy family, so maybe he doesn't think so, but our family is an ordinary farmer, and now my mother is a noble man. I still have to weed the vegetable garden.”

Wang Zechen was unhappy when he heard this, and finally turned cold, "Uncle Li, are you saying that I made the mistake of inviting you to tea today?"

Mr. Li shook his head and refused to give in at all, "It's true, I don't know, I just feel that I can't afford it. The Wang family has this money, so why not build a porridge shed and do good deeds? There is really no need to waste it on me, because we both have money." Family matters cannot be solved with a sip of tea.”

"Uncle Li has made up his mind to become an enemy of our Wang family?" Wang Zechen straightened his back, with a bit of arrogance on his face, "It's not my fault, but even the ten Li families may not be our opponents. We The Wang family has accumulated hundreds of years of experience, and there is no way they are afraid of a bunch of idiots!"

Li Laoer sneered and responded: "Whether we are afraid or not, we can't say. But, you said that our Li family is mud-legged? Yes, we are indeed mud-legged, but there is nothing wrong with being born in mud-legged family.

"Master Wang is back from Sichuan, so he should know that there are moso bamboos in Sichuan, right?! Standing in the mountains, he has been silent for four years and lowered his head to take root. When the spring breeze of the fifth year rises, he will be there every moment. The skyrocketing price may have reached the sky in just a few days.

"Our Li family is like this. Aren't you also afraid of the speed of our Li family's rise, so you invited me to tea so politely? Otherwise, with the way your Wang family behaves, you can trample us to death. It's absolutely impossible." It will be a waste of time!”

Li Laoer's eyes were bright and frightening. He knocked on the table and continued with a mocking look on his face: "Your Wang family has accumulated hundreds of years, just like that tall building. It is indeed majestic, but no one has seen that the foundation of the tall building is rotten, right? It is difficult to build a tall building. But to fall down, maybe just a kick from an outsider!

"Of course, it may not fall down with just one kick, but it doesn't matter. Our Li family has many children and grandchildren! With one kick per person, we guarantee that it will get what it wants and it will be broken into pieces!"
