Chapter Twenty-Eight: Two Portraits
This night Narcissus made do with a night in the woods. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was still more energetic in the first half of the night, roasting his hands in front of the bonfire, while looking up at the night sky, the stars were shining. He said to himself, "If only I had two more sips of wine." ”
Rubbing his hands, he glanced around, and there were dry branches. suddenly remembered what Li Zhutou had said, "You don't always want to be alone." Thinking about it, he smirked.
As soon as the city gate opened, he walked back in a hurry, thinking: If the people in the stockade guessed correctly, then the prime minister was really calm enough. So far, there has been no news, whether it is to arrest An Cheng or to encircle and suppress the village, at least something has to be done.
Thinking about walking to a breakfast stall, I asked for two fritters, a bowl of soy milk, and a tea egg. Looking at the hot soy milk, it is rare to eat a real breakfast like now, and the breakfast you eat after waking up every day is someone else's lunch. But there is no way, I stay up late for many years, and my body collapses if I don't sleep during the day.
After drinking the soy milk, Narcissus looked at the tea eggs and felt dry, and suddenly called out to the boss: "Boss, a pot of wine." "Boss"? "Another bowl of soy milk?" Narcissus shook her head, pursed her lips and slowly uttered a "wine" sound.
The boss scratched his head, "Childe, are you kidding me?" The child at the table next to him kept covering his mouth and laughing, he turned his head to look, glanced around again, and found that this was just a temporary breakfast stall, it should not sell wine, swallowed his saliva, and had to say another bowl of soy milk.
Before the soy milk was served, the boss suddenly panicked and was busy closing the stall, "The official is here, I'm sorry everyone, I don't want any money if I don't eat anything." Narcissus subconsciously let go of his chopsticks and stood up, looking at the two officials who came over in the distance, and saw that the clothes did not look like people from Jingzhao Mansion.
After the boss cleaned up, he was dragged by Narcissus as soon as he pushed the car up, and was about to ask, when two officials walked over and didn't look at this side at all. The boss patted his chest and let out a sigh, "A few days ago, a few officials in purple clothes also came, saying that my small stall was in the way, and directly lifted the tables and chairs. ”
Narcissus looked at the two officials, who were pasting things on the board, and muttered, "It should be from the Criminal Department." The boss pushed the car, "Zhou Zhutou often comes here for breakfast, and it is definitely not from Jingzhao Mansion." After saying that, he ran away.
After the official left, Narcissus walked to the board and stared at it with a smile for a long time, thinking that this picture should really be brought to Ping'er to take a look. There is a portrait of An Cheng on the left, which is not particularly similar. On the right side is a portrait of himself, similar even though he only has two eyes. The two most important people for Ping'er are on this wanted list.
He subconsciously touched his face and looked around again. There was no one around, and he laughed and said to himself: "I still want to arrest people without a reward, dreaming." He tore off An Cheng's portrait and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Narcissus didn't return to Narcissus Residence, he went directly to Jingzhao Mansion, he had already thought of a way to solve Ancheng's matter, but he needed the help of his stepfather. In terms of time, I couldn't wait for dark, so I had to go to meet Jingzhao Mansion Yin as the owner of Narcissus Residence.
After the guards reported, a person led him to the hall, and happened to run into Li Zhutou and Zhang Zhutou walking out. When Narcissus saw Li Zhutou, his heartbeat accelerated a little, and he deliberately moved in the direction behind the guard, bowing his head slightly.
"Yo, Narcissus." Zhang Zhutou shouted, and Narcissus saluted and didn't speak, "Is there something wrong with Lord Shui?" Narcissus nodded but didn't speak. Childe is coming to the government for the first time, and he looks a little nervous. Narcissus smiled and nodded. Zhang Zhutou patted him, "Go ahead, there's nothing to be nervous about." ”
After Narcissus left, Li Zhutou glanced back and asked, "Who was that person just now, have I seen it?" Zhang Zhutou coughed and walked forward, "The boss of the Narcissus Residence that you don't like the most." - Huh? You must not say that you have seen it in your dreams, then you are the same kind of person as Grandson Zhao. ”
Li Zhutou patted him, held back a smile and said: "The two of them are also the sons of the two young Yin, and this nickname is over." Zhang Zhutou turned his head: "It's over?" After Li Zhutou finished speaking, "It's over," the two of them laughed.
When Narcissus walked into the hall, Yiyun was there, and when he saw Narcissus, he was first surprised, and then smiled. After saluting each other, Lord Shui took him away and took Narcissus into the inner hall.
"Why did you come here directly, what's the emergency?" Lord Shui hurriedly asked, "Does it have anything to do with the person the criminal department wants to arrest?" Narcissus nodded, "Father-in-law already knows?" ”
After Lord Shui sat down, he continued: "The fourth young master saw a wanted notice on the way to the mansion, what kind of person is this An Cheng, who makes you so anxious?" ”
Narcissus sighed and sat down, "It's Ping'er's childhood sweetheart, who became a bandit two years ago, and is also a habitual thief on weekdays." When Lord Shui heard the word habitual stealing, he immediately watched Narcissus's expression change, "That's why you want to help him?" Narcissus nodded, "Apple's business is mine." ”
Master Shui picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly, looking thoughtful, maybe because An Cheng was a little like him in the past, so he helped as if he was redeeming himself. Narcissus called out to his father, and the lord raised his head and said:
"Xian'er, since it is the prime minister's birthday gift, then the relationship with the prime minister must be very close, are you sure you want to help him? Last time, you took it upon yourself to contact the Fourth Young Master and expose Master Yang, you must have angered him, and the old fox would definitely remember this account. This time, let the people from the criminal department toss it themselves, and the crime of robbery is not very serious. ”
"Although the crime of robbery is not serious, but robbing the prime minister of 1,000 taels of gold, if the prime minister is caught, he will definitely die." After Narcissus finished speaking, he stared at the adult, he almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, and looked at Narcissus incredulously.
Narcissus told him what he had learned, and the adults felt that the bandits were right, that Master Meng was the prime minister's brother-in-law, and it was normal to help him cast a Buddha statue of 1,000 taels of gold, and then transport it into the capital in the name of birthday gifts.
"What do you want to do?" The adult asked, and Narcissus walked over and whispered a few words to him, and the adult nodded slightly, "This is easy to do." ”
Narcissus went straight into Ping'er's room after she went back, Ancheng's body was not good and she was still sitting on the bed, and Ping'er was sitting on the stool, turning her head to look at him together, looking very anxious. After listening to the reason for framing An Cheng, An Cheng pinched the corner of the quilt vigorously and gritted his teeth, "I treat them as good brothers, and they treat me like this." ”
Ping'er looked at Narcissus without speaking, thinking that he must have figured out what to do next, waiting for him to continue. Narcissus didn't say anything more, and slowly walked to An Cheng's side, "Brother An Cheng is having a fever." Suddenly said this, he reached out to touch An Cheng's forehead, Ping'er didn't react and looked at him, and An Cheng also subconsciously dodged back.
He touched his forehead and looked back at Ping'er, "I have a little fever, let's go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine in a while, let Brother An Cheng sleep well for a while, this matter is not in a hurry." ”
