Chapter 144: The Emperor's Mandate Is Difficult
The three who intend to open another inn will then turn to the ceramic shop. Of course, before they bought the house, the three of them only asked for www.biquge.info the price.
"There, catch them!"
After turning around, the three people who were about to return to the inn where they were staying were attracted by a panting sound and some messy footsteps.
"Let go of me, let go!" Then there was a sound of struggle.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Then two delicate voices sounded: "You bad guys, let go of your mother!" ”
"Little miscellaneous pieces, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you!"
The three of them followed the sound and stood in the corner and saw two thug-looking people in the lively alley, grabbing a woman in her twenties and quite beautiful.
From the woman's heroic posture, the three of them could see at a glance that this woman was armed with martial arts, and the person who came to arrest her was not her opponent at all.
The reason why I didn't dare to make a move was because I was afraid to break the hands of the two thugs who grabbed her, two dragon and phoenix twins about three or four years old.
At this time, standing with the other thugs, several officers and soldiers who took the lead were raising the short whip in their hands and pumping it towards the boy.
The woman saw the short whip raised high and struggled to protect the boy.
Ye Zicheng quietly picked up a small pebble and was about to attack the officers and soldiers who were raising the whip, when a woman in her forties who was dressed fancifully and still had charm stepped forward and grabbed the hands of the officers and soldiers who raised the whip and said: "Official, official, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger!" ”
How could the officers and soldiers let go of the boy because of this. Just as I wanted to break away from the woman, I heard the woman say:
"Mom knew that the two little criminals were the five princes with good hearts, so she pleaded with the emperor that she didn't have to follow Dongfang General, and Dongfang Zhongcheng went to the barren land to suffer. These three Qin prisoners were handed over to my mother by the fifth prince, in case they have something, my mother is not easy to explain to the fifth prince, isn't it? ”
If it weren't for the dress, I really wouldn't have seen that the woman who still had the charm was the old bustard.
The old bustard's words finally made the officers and soldiers put down the short whip in their hands, and said viciously to the boy: "Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, so I won't worry about you like a little rabbit." ”
As soon as the officers and soldiers put down the short whip, the old bustard immediately let go of the hand holding him, and did not forget to slap the horse: "The official is doing great things at a glance!" ”
After speaking, he glanced at the people around him, and said to the officers and soldiers: "The people have been caught, do you want to send the official back to Lixiangyuan together?" ”
"No, I have other things." The officers and soldiers who had just been told by the old bustard that he was a person who did great things, how could he go to the Lixiang Courtyard with the old bustard in front of everyone, even if it seemed to be for official business.
Before leaving, the officers and soldiers did not forget to threaten: "If you let the Qin prisoner run away again, you don't have to open the Lixiang Courtyard." ”
"Yes, yes, the official is easy to go!"
Seeing off the officers and soldiers, the old bustard glanced at the woman and the two babies with pity, and said to the people who came with her: "Go back!" ”
"I'll go by myself!" The woman struggled.
The two thugs silently looked at the bustard and asked, and when they saw the bustard nodding, the two let go of the woman.
may be because of the bustard's action of saving the boy just now, the woman has no intention of running away, and follows the person with a child in one hand.
As soon as she arrived at Lixiangyuan, the woman knelt down to the bustard, but was stopped by the bustard: "Miss Dongfang, I can't help it!" ”
The woman said to the old bustard: "If my mother can let go of my mother and son, Mingzhu is grateful!" ”
The old bustard was embarrassed: "I don't want Miss Dongfang to fall in this kind of place, and I also believe that General Dongfang was wronged, but the emperor's order is difficult, and I hope Miss Dongfang will understand!" ”
Thinking of what the officers and soldiers said, the Oriental Pearl knew that it was he who was embarrassed by the bustard.
Seeing that the Oriental Pearl was no longer speechless, the old bustard looked down at his two children. Make a decision: "I can't give Miss Dongfang a place to live, but I promise that if Lixiangyuan is in my hands for a day, I will ensure that Miss Dongfang and Master are not humiliated." ”
Oriental Pearl reluctantly showed a smile and said, "Thank you, mother!" ”
The old bustard also showed a similar smile: "I can only help so much." ”
"Since my mother has the heart to help, why don't you help to the end?"
A clear voice startled the people in the room.
"Who's the girl?" The old bustard knew that the person who spoke was not malicious, and he spoke quite politely.
"Help my mother make Lixiangyuan, the hottest person in Changli Qinglou."
At the same time as the voice was heard, the three figures walked into the room where several people were. Needless to say, these three people are Ye Ziqi, Ye Zicheng and Ye Zijuan.
originally thought that she had a conscience, but she didn't want to be a person with other thoughts, and the old bustard didn't believe that the three people in front of her would help her for no reason.
"Girl, many of the people who come here are forced women to do so. is also a woman, is the girl too unsympathetic? ”
Ye Ziqi said with a smile: "Mom said that I have no sympathy, so as the mother of Lixiangyuan, is it too kind?" ”
Ye Ziqi and the three of them came because they saw the old bustard of this Lixiang Courtyard, unlike other old bustards in Qinglou who only cared about the interests of Qinglou and had no conscience.
The old bustard didn't look like the three of them were here to make trouble, and the Oriental Pearl didn't look like he knew the three of them, and it was impossible for him to save their mother and son, so he frowned and looked at the three of them.
"Well, I'm not going to laugh with my mom anymore. I knew that my mother wanted to help Miss Dongfang, but I couldn't let her go because of the emperor's order. But I know that those who are implicated in the crime and are sent to the Qinglou do not necessarily have to pick up customers. ”
has always been implicated by the clansmen or the owner who sold himself, and there are many people who enter the Qinglou, but there are not many who know the inside story. Ye Ziqi doesn't look like an official lady and a member of the royal family, and the old bustard is very curious about the identities of the three people in front of him.
Although the details of the laws vary from city to city, they are the same in the major festivals. Ye Ziqi, who owns a Chunxiang Courtyard, how could he not know this.
Ye Ziqi deliberately ignored the curiosity in the old bustard's eyes and asked, "I don't know if what I said is right?" ”
"Yes, does the girl really have a way to keep Miss Dongfang's reputation?"
Ye Ziqi did not answer the bustard directly: "Is there a place in Lixiangyuan that specializes in playing the piano, singing, and dancing?" ”
"Yes."
"Take me to see it."
A few people followed the bustard to the place where the color was alive, and I don't know if it was a psychological factor, even if it was not yet the time for nightlife, they could still smell the erosive breath here.
There is a carved fence and a round platform similar to a stage, which is basically in line with the scene in Ye Ziqi's mind: "Yes, there is no need to change it."
The old bustard didn't know what Ye Ziqi's idea was, so he could only wait for her to give an answer.
"Mom, did she have a girl who played the piano and sang music before?"
The old bustard smiled awkwardly: "This is not a stage, how can there be a girl who only plays the piano and sings?" ”
"Then mom might as well try it in the future, and make this a place where you can only play the piano and sing songs." Ye Ziqi doesn't believe that modern culture won't work here: "Of course, the main thing here is to have fun. This piano can't be sung for too long, and it has to be the time of Shen Shi. ”
Shen Shi is really close to the time when some people come to have fun. It's okay to have someone else having fun earlier, just right
"I still don't understand, what does this have to do with saving Miss Dongfang."
