Chapter 20: Who Can't Help
The next day, there was a strange news in the Ministry of Rites. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said that Manraka was only detained in a single room, and was infiltrated by a man in black in the middle of the night, but the person who came did not come to rescue him, but quickly and violently punched him twice.
The sound of the fist was so loud that the little guy hurried to check, but there were still any "uninvited guests", only Manrakha, who was holding his face and shouting, and a bloody tooth that he fell to the ground.
…………
Manrakha was released only on the third day. And as soon as I came back, I packed my things and prepared to set off for a turnaround.
Zhu Youzhu warned him that if he committed another crime, he would be punished.
But Li Mu'er knew that although he had been taught a lesson, he didn't dare to ask for any more rewards, but he must have a grudge against her.
Fortunately, "he", the Meno Maca, is going to disappear after all.
Sure enough, before the news of returning to the guild hall was hot, he rushed to Li Mu'er's room in a hurry.
Li Mu'er was prepared, and when she heard the footsteps approaching, she pulled the door out with a bag.
It just happened that he only met with Manrakha.
The strange thing is that Manraha only has a color on his face, is it that he was tortured?
didn't have time to think too much, she couldn't give him a chance to scold her, so she seized the opportunity to count down, "The adult is back?" It's a blessing for adults to beat the small ones like this, and they only stayed in the Ministry of Rites for two days. The little ones don't have as good a life as you. When our patriarch came back from his illness, he heard that such had happened, and instead of comforting me, he removed me from his official position and expelled me from Limas. He also scolded me for provoking first, and the reward for harming Masi was halved! Adults are in such a hurry to come, is it a joke to see the following? ”
Li Mu'er was thin and weak, and her body shape was completely different from the strange person who attacked him that night, and Manraka didn't dare to wronged her again. Seeing that she was wearing a Hanfu cloth dress, and her face was swollen and embarrassed, she looked much uglier than him, and most of the anger in her heart disappeared, and she only said sarcastically in a cold voice: "Hmph, count your patriarch to know current affairs!" You caused me to run this trip to the capital in vain, and you also caused me to be closed by the Ministry of Rites, I would not have calculated this account easily. But look at your virtue, hum, you also deserve it, you deserve it! ”
Who deserves it, and who deserves it? Li Mu'er scolded secretly in her heart, but she endured it and said: "I know, if it is in our territory, don't say that you won't let me go of this matter, we are not vegetarians in Masi, how can we be beaten in vain?" But today is in the territory of the Son of Heaven, and it is fortunate that he did not lose his head, so hurry up and burn incense and worship the Buddha! My lord has borrowed it, let's stop here, goodbye to you! ”
As he spoke, he threw the burden over his shoulders and leaned over to the side of Manrakha. At the moment when the clothes were rubbing, Li Mu'er still nervously put her hand on her waist, where there was a dagger sent to her by Zhu Youji, just for self-defense at this moment.
Man Raha only didn't speak, nor did he move, probably thinking about whether he should really just forget it, and a retinue following him took advantage of the situation to persuade: "Oh, grandpa, don't let it go anymore!" What he said is not rough, this matter is over, don't annoy the emperor again! This capital is really also a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, in case there is another night of the Ministry of Rites......"
"Get out, don't give Lao Tzu nonsense!" is as strong as him and loves face like him, so he naturally doesn't want anyone to mention the fact that he was punched twice and had no power to fight back.
Li Mu'er heard it clearly, turned around and added a few words: "Adult, the little one still has a few words to advise you to be old." Under the whole world, it is not the imperial land. You should be restrained, today the emperor has let you go in the face of Yongchang Mansion, and if you make a mistake again in the future, you won't have this opportunity if you can't keep it! ”
As soon as the words fell, he walked away quickly, leaving the two of them to stay in place for a few more moments.
Finally, Manraha waved his big hand and whispered, "Let's go, go home."
Li Mu'er went out of the guild hall, afraid that someone would follow her, so she didn't go back to the palace directly, and wandered the street alone.
It was rare and free to swing outside, she was in a very happy mood, and she walked briskly all the way, and unconsciously walked to a tavern.
The tavern was not very attractive, but it was her brother Qian Fu who had just met sitting in it.
Li Mu'er suddenly felt interesting, and ran in three steps and two steps.
Qian Fu didn't see her, or recognize her, until she tapped him on the shoulder, sat down at the table and called "brother" that he reacted.
"Yingzhong? Why are you here? You're ......."
"Shhhhh......h ”
Qian Fu called for another jar of wine, watched her drink several glasses in a row, and after being addicted, he asked again: "Where did the wound on the face come from?" Being beaten like this, how can you still have the heart to drink? ”
was beaten like this, why didn't you say a word?
Li Mu'er suddenly thought of Zhu Youji's words.
How can it not hurt? The pain of being whipped in the Criminal Department, the pain of being kicked and beaten by Deyan in Yongxiang, and the pain of being boxed in the same hall now, which time didn't hurt?
But what about the pain, what about the silence?
The people in the world who will feel sorry for her have already died, how can they still be qualified to cry out in front of others?
Li Mu'er held her breath and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, brother, I have rough skin and thick meat, and I have been beaten a lot, I am used to it, hehe." Why does my brother drink here alone? But is there anything unpleasant? ”
"It's not a troublesome thing," Qian Fu drank a glass of wine and said helplessly, "Since I have ascended to the top, there is no day for those who beg for questions on the paper page from far and near." For my brother, I stole half a day of leisure today, and I didn't want to go home so early. ”
It turned out to be the distress of fame.
Li Mu'er thought it was funny, but looking at his wanton appearance, she knew that he was not a person who liked to socialize, so she comforted: "If my brother doesn't like it, he refuses." You can't let these floating names restrict life, life must be happy, come, let's drink! ”
"Good," Qian Fu stroked his palm, "Well said!" Confidants and friends, one or two are enough, Yingzhong is a good confidant for his brother! ”
Li Mu'er was overjoyed, and after finishing the glass of wine, she asked again: "My brother is now far away in the capital, do you have any children at home who need to take care of him?"
Qian Fu shook his head, "Both parents have passed away, and I am free for my brother." ”
"Me too." Li Mu'er added wine to him, "But brother, we will be a family in the future, if there are any festivals, let's travel together." If there is anything difficult, let's do it together. Luckily? ”
"Yes, that's great!"
The two drank a few more glasses, and the strength of the wine began to rise, and Qian Fu couldn't help but read the poem:
"If the tides come and go, the sex is tranquil and forgetful. There are many horses, cars, and dusty passengers, who can solve the waves. ”
Li Mu'er held her head and watched and listened blankly, and suddenly missed the one in the palace.
Obviously you should be happy when you leave the palace.
I should have run away from it.
But why was he reluctant to leave, and even wanted to go back to see him earlier?
Li Mu'er laughed at herself, raised her eyes and saw the door of the tavern, the "Cao Cao" she was thinking about walked towards her with a warm face.
She couldn't believe it, so she rubbed her eyes vigorously, and when she opened her eyes again, Zhu Youji's face was already close at hand.
His voice gasped slightly, "I forgot to tell you not to run around." Also, don't get drunk all the time. When you're drunk, the wine isn't very good, and you talk nonsense. ”
Li Mu'er tilted her head and asked a little vaguely: "I saved you a lot of money, how do you reward me?"
Zhu Youzhu straightened up, seeing that her eyes had been following her, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, pretending to be embarrassed, "Well, the private room is empty, I can only condescend to the dignity and personally carry you back as a drunkard." ”
He wrapped his hands around his chest, and Li Mu'er noticed that the five knuckles of one of his hands were glowing strangely red for some reason.
Xiao Jing, who was following behind him, was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed forward to stop him: "Childe, don't do it!"
Even Qian Fu, who had been standing respectfully on the side, couldn't stand it, and dissuaded him together, "Childe, this move is inappropriate, right?" ”
Zhu Youzhu turned his back to himself, beckoned to her, and said, "Come up!" ”
Li Mu'er was willing to let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, jumped up at the right time, shook his legs and said, "If the son says that he can carry it, he can carry it." Whoever dares to have any more objections will knock out a tooth! ”
Zhu Youzhu smiled loudly and took a brisk step, "Okay, who dares to have any objections, knock out a tooth to accompany you!" Let's go home. ”
Sweat gradually spread on his head, but he held Li Mu'er as steady as Mount Tai, ignoring the discussion of the people around him.
She lay comfortably on his shoulder, neither noisy nor noisy, except for the subtle angle of her mouth. Until suddenly, her elbow hit the dagger on her waist.
There was a moment of clarity in her head, and she jerked her head up.
But it was only for a moment, and the feeling of dizziness hit again, and Li Mu'er smirked and fell back to his shoulder.
Zhu Youzhu sighed softly.
His steps slowed down, and it was not until he came to the side of the carriage that was parked far away that he turned the man on his back and turned his head and said, "Okay, get into the carriage." I can't carry you into the palace like this. ”
Li Mu'er's consciousness was hazy, and she only knew that the man was about to put her down, so she hurriedly wrapped her hands around his shoulders, rubbed his back with half of her face, and reluctantly said, "I don't want to go back to the palace...... I'm not going to kill you anymore...... I...... Reluctant to ......"
Zhu Youji's back stiffened, but his eyes couldn't hide his joy.
He finally pulled her hand away, and finally carried her into the carriage, and finally let her lie down on his lap, and she was already snoring.
Half of his face was still swollen, and he was facing him a little hideously.
The wound should be counted on his head.
He frowned distressedly. I was surprised that how could she be the daughter of the selfish and greedy Li Zi Province?
is obviously a heroine who understands righteousness and does not hesitate to sacrifice herself.
Obviously, there was a perfect opportunity to kill him just now......
Sure enough, I didn't misread her, I didn't leave her wrong.
Helping her remove the dagger from his waist, his heart suddenly cleared, and he replied in a low voice:
"You can't afford to kill me. However, I am reluctant to let you go. ”
