Chapter 173 Killing Ouyang Zui
Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he put on a smile on his face.
Zhao Yan glanced at him and sat down at the table. "How could I, Zhao, deserve to be invited to the banquet hosted by the uncle of the emperor?"
There was a hint of disdain in his tone, and it was clear that he was still a bit angry. However, Ouyang Zui despised him in his heart, thinking that he was still holding on to a divorced woman.
Thinking about the beauty he couldn't touch, he felt a little itchy. Fortunately, he apologized with a smile and said, "Brother Qibi, you are too polite." After that, he immediately poured him a glass of wine, "Come, Brother Qibi, try it quickly. This is the imperial wine I brought from the palace early this morning."
Zhao Yan didn't speak or drink.
Ouyang Zui knew that he was still angry. The young lady was so beautiful. He had been thinking about her for several years and had seen her again recently. He couldn't let her go. Even so, he had to express his feelings today.
He was still thinking about the land, and finally said with a smile, "What happened that day was really a misunderstanding. I just thought Miss Yu and Brother Qibi had divorced, but I didn't expect that she was someone Brother Qibi cared about. I was shortsighted. Today I will make it clear that I will never appear in front of Miss Yu again. I hope Brother Qibi will be magnanimous and not be angry."
Zhao Yan asked, "What did you do to my wife on Yuanxiang Street seven years ago?"
Ouyang Zui was stunned. He thought that Yu had already told him about the incident on Yuanxiang Street, which was why he was so angry. Even though he didn't want to, he bowed and apologized, "Brother Qibi, please don't blame me. I was in the carriage at that time and suddenly saw a woman like Madam with such a unique temperament. I got off and said hello... I didn't expect Madam to be so timid and ran away immediately."
Zhao Yan sneered, "You just talked, but didn't do anything?"
Ouyang Zui was stunned. Seeing his gloomy face, he felt a little unhappy, but also a little nervous. He didn't know why he asked this.
Zhao Yan continued, "Did he touch her hand, or do anything frivolous?"
Ouyang Zui was a little surprised, "This..."
"Answer me!" Zhao Yan said.
Ouyang Zui's remaining patience was exhausted. He invited Zhao Yan to drink today to apologize, but this man not only did not give him face, but also kept asking about the abandoned woman before. What did he want to do!
He said angrily, "I held her hand and said something flirtatious to her. What's wrong?! That happened so many years ago. Why are you still so stubborn? Besides, aren't you divorced now?"
Before he could finish, Zhao Yan punched him. Ouyang Zui didn't notice and fell to the ground. When he came to his senses, Zhao Yan had already stood up and kicked him twice.
Ouyang was trembling with drunkenness. He had been a playboy for so many years, and no one in the entire capital had ever dared to hit him.
He immediately got up and swung his fist towards Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan twisted it tightly and twisted it back. Ouyang Zui screamed in pain like a pig, "Ah! ... Zhao Yan, what are you doing!"
Zhao Yan ignored his screams and instead grabbed his collar, saying darkly, "I should have returned this to you years ago. Remember, if you have any thoughts about her again, I won't let you go!"
Ouyang Zui was already fuming with rage. He was fearless and no longer held back. He opened his mouth and said, "If you have the guts, just keep her at home and keep an eye on her. To tell you the truth, I've been thinking about her for years. Sooner or later, she'll be mine. When I break her, I'll throw her back to you. So, you want to hit me..."
Ouyang Zui climbed up and said frantically, "Come on, hit me, I'll see if you dare. To be honest, your wife looks inexperienced, I'm afraid she's very naive..."
Zhao Yan immediately rushed over, kicking him again, followed by another punch. Ouyang Zui was knocked to the ground, becoming more and more angry, but still refusing to beg for mercy, "Either you kill me, do you dare?" Seeing Zhao Yan was a little stunned, he became more and more proud and shouted wildly, "There is no one I can't get who I want. I'm telling you, sooner or later I will sleep with her, what can you do to me!"
Zhao Yan looked at him with bloodshot eyes and punched him again, breaking two of Ouyang Zui's teeth. He shouted, "Someone come...murder!"
He kept shouting while Zhao Yan kept hitting him. Finally, he stood up, picked up a stool and was about to hit him on the head. At this time, someone came from outside and several servants rushed in. An Yuan and An Fu hugged Zhao Yan tightly and pulled him back, "Master, calm down, let's take a long-term view."
Ouyang Zui was helped up, wiping the blood off his face with his sleeve. He stared at him grimly and said, "I'm telling you, this isn't over yet. I won't let her go. I'll get back at her for the beating you gave me today!"
Zhao Yan struggled hard and was about to hit him again, but fortunately An Fu and An Yuan held him back and pulled him back. "Master, don't be impulsive. Let's... let's go back and talk about it."
Both sides knew their respective weights, one was the son of the left prime minister, and the other was the cousin of the imperial concubine.
No one could kill the other directly. Later, many people came. The owner of the restaurant also said all kinds of good things. The thugs also protected one on each side. Zhao Yan also knew that this matter could not be made too big. He took a deep breath, held the hands of Fo Kai Anfu and others, and went straight down the stairs.
Ouyang Zui's words were so firm that he didn't dare to relax. As soon as he got back, he wanted to find Huatang and tell her about it, but then he thought of her fear that day and was afraid that she would not be able to sleep well again after knowing it.
Ouyang Zui was a vengeful person. He either disappeared immediately or became paralyzed and unable to move, otherwise Hua Tang would still be in danger. When he arrived at the mansion, he immediately ordered people to find several traveling doctors and Taoist priests to ask if there was any way to make a person's death look like he had committed murder.
One of the alchemists said that there was a kind of aphrodisiac incense that could make people die suddenly in their dreams without anyone being able to see it.
Having read the books of sages for so many years, he naturally didn't believe this, but there was no other way now, so he asked the man to leave a fragrance, and then asked many people, but still no one could do it.
The weather is cold now, and large snowflakes are falling from the sky. Yu Huatang has returned a long time ago, but he doesn't dare to go to see her.
He was afraid that he would lose control and kill Ouyang Zui immediately.
No, he told himself, he had to be absolutely sure.
Later that evening he went to his mother's room and talked to her for a while. Mrs. Zhao saw that he looked haggard and thought that he had not slept well all day.
He gave him the Buddhist beads he had obtained from the Buddhist temple, and asked someone to prepare incense for him, and told him to have a good sleep.
That night, he forced himself to go to bed, thinking he wouldn't sleep well, but the opposite happened. He fell into a deep sleep, and in a trance, he saw a light. He followed it and saw someone walking in front of him. He shouted, "Wait, wait."
