What's wrong with being a salted fish?

"Everyone, why are you staring at me like this?"

Li Hongrui was confused and looked at the angry eyes of everyone and said with confusion.

I just wanted to meet Lin Yuhe by chance. Could it be that I was disturbing them?

"Master Li, do you have any special hobbies?" Master Liu folded his fan to cover his mouth and stared at him with disdain.

"Why did Young Master Liu say this?" Li Hongrui thought that he had never offended Liu Xiangshu and didn't understand why he showed such an expression.

"Why else would you steal my trousers?" Liu Xiangshu roared angrily. God knows how panicked he was when he discovered that his clothes were missing!

Liu Xiangshu remembered how anxious he was and saw Li Hongrui pretending to be dumbfounded, and became very angry.

Li Hongrui was stunned at first, and then retorted anxiously: "What are you talking about? I will steal from you sometime, that kind of thing!"

"What is it? Please tell me clearly what it is. How come my master's obscene pants are like that?"

Liu Xiangshu could understand that Li Hongrui had special hobbies, but he just pretended to be innocent when he was caught stealing, which really pissed him off!

Besides, his underwear was made of fine cloud satin after all, so why did it turn into something shameful when Li Hongrui said it!

"I haven't done it before, so don't slander me!"

Li Hongrui didn't understand why Liu Xiangshu wanted to slander him. In normal times, he might have taken action directly. Anyway, Liu Xiangshu's father did not have a high official position and he did not dare to challenge his father.

But now Lin Yuhe is watching, he can't leave a bad impression on her, he needs Lin Yuhe! He doesn't want to die!

"You!" Liu Xiang's cheeks turned red in a bookish manner, and he pointed at Li Hongrui with trembling hands. He didn't understand how he could be so shameless.

At this time, Li Hongrui also noticed the scattered things lying on the ground.

"these are?"

There are everything on the ground, but judging from the style and shape, they should all be items used by men.

"Don't you know Mr. Li?" Zhao Jingming raised the corner of his mouth, "These are all found in your house."

As soon as he said these words, Li Hongrui froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

From his house? impossible!

"Master Li has some special preferences. The objects he collects are all of relatively slender figures. You can't really tell that at ordinary times."

Zhao Jingming's words were so shocking that not only Li Hongrui but also the others were stunned.

Then they showed expressions of disbelief. They were a little thinner, so Li Hongrui wouldn't be so interested in them!

The saliva in Lin Zhuo's mouth almost spurted out. Zhao Jingming's words were implying that Li Hongrui wanted to suppress them. Is this allowed to be said?

"I...I want to report this to the emperor! There is obviously a place for you to vent your thoughts! Why do you have to attack me!" The man who had quarreled with Liu Xiangshu before had tears in his eyes. Although his father's official position was not as good as that of Li Shangshu, he could not Suffer this humiliation!

What he just said was that Li Hongrui could go find a waiter to satisfy his fetish.

With one person taking the lead, the remaining people also expressed their intention to tell the emperor and let the emperor decide.

Before Li Hongrui could refute Zhao Jingming's words, he heard these people making noisy remarks, all of which suggested that he had done dirty things.

Li Hongrui couldn't tolerate a few people slandering him like this, so he immediately started a quarrel with them.

"Is Li Hongrui really the male protagonist? Why is he so easily led by others?"

Lin Yuhe gave Lin Zhuo a handful of melon seeds, and Lin Zhuo started eating them too.

A few of them did not participate and only enjoyed the scene of a few people pulling their hair.

"Oh, host, now is just the development period of the male protagonist. He will become truly powerful after he completes his destiny." 0617 was also clicking the mechanical melon seeds in Lin Zhuo's mind.

"Okay, I can only wish him success."

Of course, success is unlikely to make him successful.

"Wow! Mr. Li pulled Mr. Liu's hair down!" Lin Yuhe squeaked. After seeing a few people fighting, she stopped and couldn't help but sigh.

It turns out that men will pull each other’s hair out when they fight!

Lin Zhuo and Lin Yuhe were sitting side by side, sipping melon seeds, looking like two hamsters.

Zhao Jingming watched Lin Zhuo go from being careless before to his eyes shining, and he immediately grasped his mood.

He deliberately kept silent and watched several people fighting without stopping them.

But Zhao Jingming couldn't let Li Hongrui really beat Liu Xiangshu and the others, so his hand hidden under his wide sleeves threw a few inconspicuous pebbles at Li Hongrui from time to time.

Li Hongrui only felt as if someone had taken advantage of the situation and pinched him twice, completely unaware that he was being beaten all the time.

"Enough! What it looks like!"

Zhao Jingming saw that several people were done venting, so he stopped them.

Several people also realized that their behavior was inappropriate, lowered their heads and stood aside, revealing Li Hongrui who had been beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face.

"You are slandering me! I have never done it at all! You have joined forces to throw dirty water on me. I want to tell my father! Let the Holy Spirit clear my name!"

Li Hongrui covered his face, which was bruised and bruised, and yelled with his tongue hanging out.

"What do you want to tell me?" Zhao Jinchao, who was accompanied by his ministers, heard someone mention him as soon as he arrived.

"Kowtow to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

"Get up, what's going on?"

But no one answered. Even Li Hongrui, who was beaten, lowered his head and shut his mouth.

"No one said it? Then let King Jing say it and let me listen." Zhao Jinchao took advantage of the fact that the minister could not see his expression and secretly winked at Zhao Jingming, signaling him to speak quickly so that he could listen.

"These young masters lost some personal belongings today." Zhao Jingming nodded to the few standing nearby, and Liu Xiangshu and the others nodded.

"Then the secret guards searched Mr. Li's house. Mr. Li said that he was innocent and it was these people who slandered him, and then they started fighting."

"Your Majesty, this villain is really innocent! He has never done anything like this!" Li Hongrui said while showing his miserable face.

"Your face?"

"They are the ones who beat me! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for the villain!"

Li Hongrui cried and knelt on the ground unable to get up.

He has never done such a thing! Who likes a tough man?

"Your Majesty, I believe that my son has never done such a thing. Someone must have slandered him!" Li Shangshu said and knelt down with Li Hongrui, and gave a vicious look at the young masters who beat Li Hongrui.

"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!" Li Shangshu kowtowed.

Zhao Jinchao looked at Zhao Jingming, whose expression remained unchanged, and knew in his heart that his brother must have been involved. He didn't say anything, and just nodded: "Of course, I will not wrong anyone. Come and investigate thoroughly!"

The eunuch behind him took the order and left.

During this waiting time, Zhao Jinchao sat next to Zhao Jingming, full of questions and wanted to ask Zhao Jingming. He wanted to know the whole story so much that it felt like a cat's claws were scratching his heart.

But the old man Zhao Jingming was there and didn't even look at his brother, so Zhao Jinchao had no choice but to hold back the conversation.

He originally thought that after hearing this, he would go back and tell the story to the queen to make her happy, but now it seems that he still has to ask in private.

Before Zhao Jinchao gave no other instructions, everyone was active in this courtyard.

Lin Zhuo was thankful in his heart that he had found a seat with Lin Yuhe and the others just now, otherwise he would have been exhausted from standing for such a long time.

Lin Zhuo looked at the table in front of him and yawned.

The yard was very quiet, but the victims could be heard telling their relatives about the incident. The expressions of several officials changed and they were somewhat unhappy.

This kind of thing is simply immoral! I don’t know how Li Shangshu raised his son!

Lin Zhuo's eyelids were heavy and he wanted to put his head on the table. These people didn't speak and only communicated with their eyes. He had nothing to do and felt sleepy.

"Report!"

The eunuch beside Zhao Jinchao ran over and whispered something in Zhao Jinchao's ear.

Zhao Jinchao's expression changed again and again, and finally he looked at Li Hongrui, who looked aggrieved, with strange eyes.

After the eunuch finished reporting, he signaled to the people behind him that they could come in under Zhao Jinchao's order.

The few people who came in were all dressed in black. There seemed to be embroidery on the right collar extending to the left hem of the clothes, but they were all dark colors, so Lin Zhuo did not see clearly what the pattern was.

They all seemed to be Zhao Jingming's secret guards, because their clothes were exactly the same as those of the secret guards who appeared behind Zhao Jingming before.

Each of them held a box. After saluting Zhao Jinchao, they opened the box and placed the contents on the ground one by one.

Inside, Lin Zhuo saw his own belt that he had thrown into Li Hongrui's house.

But why on earth are there so many others? He really didn't do anything!

"Xiao Qi, isn't Li Hongrui really gay?"

If you didn't do it yourself, then there is only one answer.

Judging from the things he collected, it seemed like he really had some quirks.

"Ah this? Host, you have to believe the general direction of the plot. Li Hongrui really only likes women!"

"But look, there's a Dragon Yang picture on that corner!" Lin Zhuo was a little curious, and even wanted to step forward and open it to take a look.

"It's not that it comes from someone else, it's definitely not from him!"

"But why would he collect such pictures?"

"?" 0617's CPU wants to stop running.

That's right, why did Li Hongrui collect Longyang pictures when he didn't have that kind of interest? This is not lost by the host!

Keep it hidden, hero!

"Master Li." Zhao Jinchao smiled at Li Shangshu. He had been unhappy with this bitch for a long time, but he didn't expect that his son was not a good person either.

"The minister is here."

"Take a look at these good things your son has hidden for yourself!" Zhao Jinchao motioned to Li Shangshu to come forward and take a look at the pile of things found in Li Hongrui's house.

Li Shangshu looked strange, a little unbelievable. He looked back at Li Hongrui, who looked innocent, and took a deep breath. He believed in his son!

But as he squatted down and rummaged through the pile of objects, and even found a silver chain whose purpose he didn't know, his face turned completely dark.

"Your Majesty, these?" Li Shangshu still wanted to struggle to his death.

Zhao Jinchao raised his eyebrows: "They were all found in Mr. Li's house. Some even have his inscriptions. Didn't Aiqing see them?"

Of course Li Shangshu saw it, and the words he used were so licentious that he blushed and felt ashamed.

He could tell at a glance that it was Li Hongrui's handwriting, so his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Evil son!" Li Shangshu rushed up and grabbed Li Hongrui's ears: "What have you done behind my back?"

Li Shangshu never expected that his son, whom he had raised for more than ten years, would be as good as Long Yang. He would secretly hide other men's belongings and even get under the eyes of the emperor. This scoundrel disliked him for sitting too high in the position of minister. Are you safe?

"Dad? Dad! I was wronged! I really didn't do this! I really don't know what happened!"

"Stop talking! When you get back, go to the ancestral hall and confess what you did!" This meant that Li Hongrui would be punished with confinement.

However, Li Shangshu's act of making his own decisions aroused the dissatisfaction of other princes, who thought that the matter should not be left alone! Relying on their own reasons, they still asked the Holy One for judgment.

Zhao Jinchao ordered Li Hongrui to return the lost property to the original owner, and Li's family was responsible for compensating the original owner's losses. However, Li Shangshu was not strict in discipline and was fined a year's salary. Li Hongrui followed Li Shangshu's words and closed the ancestral hall in confinement for three years. He was not allowed to leave Li's house for a month.

Although Liu Xiangshu and others were still dissatisfied, they no longer had any fits. Instead, they took the initiative to return the items. They said they must let everyone in the villa know what Li Hongrui had done.

When the familiar belt was returned to Lin Zhuo, Lin Zhuo smiled reluctantly. Although, he really didn't like this belt. The strange earthy color always reminded him of bad things.

"Master Lin, remember to ask for compensation from Master Li!" It was Liu Xiangshu who returned Lin Zhuo's belt. He also specifically reminded Lin Zhuo not to forget to ask for money. Lin Zhuo could only nod and said he understood.

"Qingping, why didn't you tell dad that this happened?" If Liu Xiangshu hadn't come to return the belt, Lin Shangshu, who was already standing beside his children, wouldn't have known that his son was also one of the victims.

Qingping was Lin Zhuo's name. After listening to his father's words, Lin Zhuo could only sigh and reply: "I don't like it very much, so I just threw it away."

"Be more careful next time and stay away from Young Master Li, both of you!" Lin Shangshu patted the hands of the brother and sister worriedly and warned.

Taikang is open-minded, and it is not uncommon to like people of the same sex. Basically, he will not be discriminated against. However, what Lin Shangshu despises is that Li Hongrui clearly has such preferences. He not only hides it, but also does such sneaky things. , I can’t stand it at first glance.

Li Hongrui: Are you going to scold me again? !

Lin Zhuo and Lin Yuhe looked at each other, then nodded towards Lin Shangshu.

The farce ended and everyone left the scene.

As Liu Xiangshu and the others went to return other people's belongings, they made a fuss about it. Word of mouth spread, and everyone in the villa knew that Li Hongrui, the young master of the Li family, had a special hobby. Looted it.

Li Hongrui was stabbed in the spine no matter where he passed, but he could only be helpless and furious.

Li Hongrui hasn't returned to Li Mansion yet, and Li Hongrui hasn't started to be punished yet, so he can still move around freely in the villa.

Veins popped out on his forehead, and he wanted to run away in a certain direction.

what happened? ! He obviously didn't do it, so why would those things appear in his house? Who is harming him?

At this time, Li Hongrui wanted to use evil ways to suck everyone present today dry, but he couldn't.

First, he is still very weak, and he can only arrange this formation to absorb other people's luck at fixed points, and cannot do whatever he wants. Secondly, his incomplete destiny prevents him from exerting the full effect of the formation, which means that he may only be able to absorb half of the opponent's luck, or even less than half.

Li Hongrui walked quickly and finally saw the figure he was looking for behind the courtyard gate.

"My lord, please stay!"

Li Hongrui's voice caused Zhao Jingming and Laifu in front to stop.

Zhao Jingming turned sideways and glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Li?"

"My lord, did you know something today?" The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He always felt that King Jing was hinting at others when he spoke before.

Li Hongrui was furious and spoke in a very aggressive tone, which sounded very much like he was questioning Zhao Jingming, which made Laifu frown.

Impolite stuff!

Laifu was about to scold Li Hongrui, but was stopped by Zhao Jingming.

Zhao Jingming stopped Laifu, and then asked Li Hongrui with his hands behind his back: "I don't understand Mr. Li's words. Is there something I should know?"

Just as Li Hongrui was about to continue speaking, he saw Zhao Jingming take out a small thing from his sleeve that made his blood run cold.

Zhao Jingming held the small blue-white porcelain bottle with dark eyes but a smile on his face: "Why don't Mr. Li first explain to me what Chunxiao Powder is?"
