Chapter 14: A Misunderstanding

Narcissus's consciousness was still immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't seem to feel that his mouth was covered at all, and he lay quietly for a while, staring at the top of the bed in a daze. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing his condition, Ping'er became worried, and pushed him twice to ask what was wrong. He slowly sat up and smiled, "It's okay, I'm just thinking, I didn't go out of my way to deal with the imperial court officials before, but this time I happened to run into it, and it's not my style to sit idly by." ”

As she spoke, she squeezed her eyes twice, as if she had a good idea. He walked over to the table and began to sharpen the ink, and said with a smile: "I will write a letter as Guanyin to report the adulteration of the military jacket," looking up at Ping'er, "Guanyin's identity is credible enough." ”

Ping'er asked him what about it, "Then sneak to the Wei Mansion and sneak into Yiyun's room." Uncle Guo and the prime minister have never dealt with each other, and they will definitely use the topic to play a part, even if they can't participate in the prime minister, they can make Uncle Guo angry, and from then on, Uncle Guo will be closer to Yiyun and trust. Narcissus nodded twice confidently after speaking.

With a "snap", Ping'er slapped on the paper, looked at him with a serious expression, he was so frightened that he covered his chest, closed his eyes and swallowed saliva and said: "I'm scared to death, you have to change this problem, and you can't marry because you are not gentle enough." ”

Ping'er was anxious, "As soon as you entered the house, you talked a lot, and made such a big detour, in fact, you just want to say, you want to help Wei Gongzi stabilize his position as the head catcher, right?" Narcissus blinked and was about to speak, but Ping'er didn't give him a chance to continue: "The matter has come to this, you only have two ways to go, either give up the identity of Guanyin and you can recognize Wei Gongzi, or continue to be your Guanyin, but the farther away from him the better." ”

Narcissus lowered her head and didn't want to think about it, Ping'er looked at him and gritted her teeth, and said ruthlessly: "Of course, if you want to play with fire and self-immolation, I can't care about it, stealing favors for me, I have paid it off all these years, you choose your own path." After saying that, he slammed the door and went out.

Narcissus was stunned there, he did think that if he could help Yiyun, he would try his best to help, but this matter was not entirely for Yiyun, and on the way back, he kept thinking that since he was called the thief Guanyin by the people, he should not be afraid of power, and watch the corruption in the court spread in order to save his life.

Ping'er did misunderstand him, but he didn't get angry, and he understood that Ping'er said that because he cared about himself, he looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and thought for a long time, and finally put it away.

There were still two hours before the sky was light, but the candles in the rooms of the two men were burning, and neither of them could sleep.

Early in the morning, the people sent out by Master Yang rushed back and reported to them that the caravan had received a false letter and that he had been stopped at the South City Gate. Master Yang thought for a while and asked him to wait in the hall, and after a while, everyone arrived to confirm one thing.

After two quarters of an hour, two men came in carrying a sack, threw them on the ground and went out. When the butler opened the sack, he was surprised for a moment, and muttered, "It's really ruthless." The head of the guard at the south gate had a blue nose and swollen face, his feet and hands were tied, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth, and he snorted vigorously, and the butler kicked him to calm him down.

Master Yang stared at him in front of him, all this can be traced back to the source caused by the head of the guard, the bandit's background made him not afraid of heaven and earth, and he didn't know how to take care of some things, and finally lost a thousand taels to himself. If his identity is exposed, Jingzhao Mansion shields the bandits and uses them improperly, this crime may hit them, but they are still angry.

Master Yang looked at the team leader and asked, "I heard that there were prisoners in Jingzhao Mansion who escaped from prison yesterday morning, so you received the task of searching for people out of the city?"

"You prisoners of Jingzhao Mansion, don't you know what they look like, why do you detain a person on a horse when you see it?" The team leader's mind quickly turned, thinking that this question could be answered, and began to whine, the butler pulled out the rag and asked him to say, "I don't know the specifics, I am only in charge of the south city gate, and when the head catcher in charge of the security in the south of the city rushed over, he said that the government had not checked the list of fugitives, so he had to detain all the suspects." ”

Old Man Yang sneered, "Should I say that your Jingzhao Mansion has a problem with your ability, and you can't check the name and appearance of the fugitive for a day, or do you mean that you did it on purpose, and the fugitive must ride a horse when he goes out of the city." The team leader didn't understand too much and shook his head, he was just listening to Li Zhutou at that time, and he didn't think too much about it at all.

Master Yang looked at the person who was sent out and asked him to tell him about the process at that time. After he was stopped by the guards, he heard that he was a fugitive, so he deliberately revealed his identity, saying that he was a family member in the mansion of Lord Zhu, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and he had something important to hurry out of the city, so he asked the guards to be accommodating.

At this time, a catcher came from the side, directly pulled out a knife and asked him to stand aside and talk less nonsense, if he was wronged, he would naturally let him go when he caught the real fugitive. He also mentioned that since he was a fugitive, there must be a portrait, but the head catcher said that after confirming the portrait, he would naturally send it over, and stay honest until then.

He waited until the gate was lowered, and no portrait was delivered, but he heard the head of the captor say that the fugitive had been caught. He apologized for giving him two pieces of silver, and let him out of the city.

Old Man Yang pondered for a while and then looked at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper said: "The people sent out early in the morning inquired that there were indeed prisoners in Jingzhao Mansion who escaped from prison yesterday, but the time of arrest is not very clear. ”

Master Yang wandered around the hall a few times, thought about everything in his mind, and suddenly walked up to the head of the guard, pulled his chin and asked: "What is the name of the head catcher in charge of security in the south of the city? What is his origin? ”

The team leader opened his mouth and thought about it, feeling that this question could not be answered, so he lowered his head without speaking, and the housekeeper kicked him, and he fell down and got up again and still didn't speak. Master Yang laughed: "Don't say anything, your attitude is acquiescence, there are no fugitives at all, this is the conspiracy of your water lord." The team leader didn't understand what was going on, and looked up at him with a puzzled look.

The family member who sent out the city suddenly said: "The head catcher in charge of the security in the south of the city is the eldest grandson of General Li, and he is also the son-in-law chosen by the master, but he is ......." He didn't finish speaking when he was interrupted by Master Yang, "This doesn't matter." ”

At this time, Master Yang was 100% sure that the person pretending to be Guanyin was sent by Lord Shui. He felt that Jingzhao Mansion was not necessarily going against the prime minister or his cousin, but was waiting for his bribe. But he didn't make any statement, and used the power of the prime minister to let them obediently release people and return the goods, which made them lose face.

Although he didn't know Lord Shui, with his understanding of the imperial court officials, for an official eunuch from the third grade, this kind of thing would definitely be grudged, so he cheated away a thousand taels to retaliate against him. Thinking about it, he turned his head to look at the head of the guard, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, gritted his teeth and called the housekeeper to his side, and whispered: "This person is useless, a thousand taels buy him a life, it's really lifting him." The butler nodded, and went out with another man carrying the head of the guard.

As soon as the Narcissus House opened, Zhao Gongzi and Sun Gongzi, two idle people, walked in, and when they saw Wu Da, they asked him to call Narcissus to come over and drink. Wu Da shook his head for a moment, and after he came, he didn't seem to see Narcissus and Ping'er from the beginning of his preparation, he thought about walking to the backyard, and when he saw Ping'er coming down the stairs, he asked him if his son was up.

Ping'er glanced back at the direction of the room and said that she didn't know, Wu Da immediately felt that they were quarreling, and said anxiously: "My aunt, you have to be measured in your quarrel, if you don't wake up your son, he can sleep until dark." Zhao Gongzi and Sun Gongzi are waiting for Gongzi to go to drink in the private room. ”

Ping'er muttered, "I'll never leave him alone again." So he reassured the housekeeper that she was going to accompany the wine, and the housekeeper sighed and went to the kitchen. As soon as Ping'er entered the house, "Yo, Miss Ping'er", Zhao Gongzi said and looked outside the door, "Brother Narcissus, isn't your health okay?"

Ping'er poured a full glass of wine without speaking, and the two sons looked at each other, "Drink, can't I accompany the wine?" Ping'er said in a questioning tone. "Yes...... Can you ......" The two sons said and drank a drink, both shocked by her aura.

The three of them chatted for half an hour, and the door was suddenly pushed open, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Narcissus is too late to punish myself." After drinking, he looked at Apple's eyes and motioned for her to go out. Ping'er didn't refute and just took two steps outside, and the guy came to report that Mr. Wei was looking for a son, but he was stopped at the gate because he was wearing an official uniform.

Narcissus put down her glass and walked out, and when she walked up to Apple, she suddenly grabbed her arm and whispered, "You'd better not see him, I'll send him away." With that, he went out and closed the door.

Narcissus was stunned, Sun Gongzi laughed twice, and said to Zhao Gongzi: "Brother Zhao, Miss Ping'er is good to you, just pulling her face, and she is willing to let Brother Narcissus come to drink with you." Look at this Mr. Wei catching his head, I don't know what he did wrong, Miss Ping'er doesn't want to see him so much. After speaking, he looked at Narcissus, who looked at them and smiled without saying anything, and slowly walked to the window and looked downstairs.

Ping'er walked to the gate and asked Yiyun directly what was the matter, Yiyun subconsciously looked inside, and said, "When I came to pay the wine money a few days ago, the guy said that your son-in-law is out of the city and will be back in two or three days, hasn't he come back yet?" ”
