"What happened?" Glancing at the thugs who had fallen to the ground and were still screaming, I asked the third prince, "Why did you start doing it?" "This is my Dawu border, even if the road is uneven, it will not be the turn of this envoy from a foreign country.

Moreover, I seem to have heard one of the thugs say the word "Ling Wang", and I don't know if I heard it.

If she really has something to do with my house, I'm afraid this black cauldron will fall on my head again...... Then, I can't solve this matter in front of everyone, let alone expose it to the people--in addition to lowering Kwong Xihan's reputation, it is just adding another thing to talk about after dinner.

"Oh, it's not because these two people can't escape anywhere, they just want to escape to my side, squeeze out the mask I just bought, and then a few of them chased after me on a rampage, trampling my mask and breaking it, not only did they not pay compensation, but they also scolded and scolded me to push me, so I asked the guards to teach them a lesson~" The third prince shook the bell in his hand unhappily, raised his chin and nodded at the two people who were snuggling together, and pointed to the group of thugs, still angry, as if he disliked that his guards were not heavy enough.

"You are so unreasonable, obviously you deliberately obstructed us from chasing people, and now you have to beat us up, accusing us of being at fault first, it's too deceitful! Do you know what kind of place we are? How can you afford to provoke such a foreign race? The woman who was beaten and dislocated both arms should have been the leader of the group of thugs, and she was threatened through gritted teeth in a cold sweat that hurt.

- Even if she has a little knowledge, she knows the difference between the Lintoe people and the Dawu people from their appearance and clothing.

It's just that since she can understand this, why can't she see that her group of subordinates is definitely not the opponent of the three guards?

"What do I care about you Caiyun Pavilion Caifeng Pavilion, if you dare to kidnap people on the street in broad daylight, you must be a traitor, how can you tolerate it? Heaven is clear, sin is unforgivable, see me do the right thing for heaven and eliminate harm for the people! The more he spoke, the more energetic he became, and at last he almost came out of the song—I can't hear it, and the few words spoken by the three princes were not the same lines from the few excerpts we had listened to in the Lixiang Courtyard not long ago?

…… It's really going to be learned and sold.

"Nonsense! Xiao Lian is the top brother of our Caiyun Pavilion, taught this poor scholar to deceive with clever words, the two of them escaped, and the bustard ordered me to chase them back, how can we all be on the side of reason, in the mouth of your thief, how can we become a traitor? What a vexatious mess! Although the woman was in a terrible pain, she spoke in a clear manner, and judging by her position, there seemed to be some truth.

"Oh? Is that true? I followed her gaze to the man who was called Little Pity, but I saw him trembling in the arms of the other, and when I looked over, my eyes were already red before I could speak—if it were not for my different aesthetic habits from here, I would have felt a little more sympathy for his pitiful gesture.

"Will I go back with you and be beaten again?" The woman dressed as a scholar glared at the woman who spoke angrily, and carefully opened the sleeves of the little pity, revealing a few bruises and purple whipping scars, winding deep into the skin of the arm covered by the sleeves, it can be seen that there is more than what can be seen on the surface, "If I don't escape with Xiao Pity, I'm afraid he will be beaten to death by the ruthless bustard!" ”

――Well, it sounds like both sides have a last resort.

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, and seeing that the two sides were no longer moving, and the incident center was safer, these people became more and more emboldened, and slowly gathered towards us...... If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out.

After thinking only for a moment, I made a decision: "In this case, you lead the way, let's go to Caiyun Pavilion and explain things clearly." ”

I suddenly remembered that this Caiyun Pavilion seemed to be the property in my name, and as the boss behind the scenes, I had an obligation to deal with this dispute - besides, I was a little concerned about the whip marks on the man named Xiao Lian.

If it is really as this scholar said, it is the bustard who abused the lynching and injured Xiao Pian like this, then I can't ignore it.

"You go to Caiyun Pavilion to report the news, just say that someone is coming to smash the field, ask the bustard to come out and pick up!" Seeing that I was deliberately intervening, the third prince immediately became excited, clapped his hands and asked the guards to pick up the thugs who had been unjointed, and sent them back to report the news.

I didn't bother to talk to him, I just motioned to the scholar and Xiao Lian to lead the way in front and lead us to Caiyun Pavilion.

At first, the scholar was unhappy, but only after I repeatedly promised that I would seek justice for them, did I compromise.

Seeing her nervously holding her little lover, distressed and powerless, I shook my head, somewhat contemptuous of her: they all say that they are useless scholars, and after reading so many sage books, can they learn the word "responsibility"?

Caiyun Pavilion is not far from this street, just because Xiao Lian is injured, and the two of them don't have time to hire a carriage, they just rely on two legs to escape, they can't escape this group of strong thugs, if it weren't for the nosy third prince at the critical moment, I'm afraid they would have been arrested a long time ago, and I don't know what kind of miserable fate awaits them for the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks?

Probably those thugs had already informed the bustard and knew that someone was going to smash the field, so the street where Caiyun Pavilion was located had already taught people to be clean, and the vendors who were doing small business had long since disappeared, and the large and small stores were also closed, only the officers and soldiers with standard steel knives lined up in a row blocked the door menacingly, as if waiting for our arrival.

This Caiyun Pavilion was able to send people from the government to mediate, which shows that the forces behind it are not small, and it also confirms the possibility that it is an industry under the name of King Ling...... I'm afraid I'll come to find trouble in my own store, and I'm the only one in this big turnout.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head amusedly, and saw the middle-aged man in the lead, dressed in dust, looking at me dumbfounded, and then immediately beckoned the group of officers and soldiers to leave, and scolded his subordinates who kept shouting at us, and he twisted his waist and trotted over, saluted with sincere fear, and whispered: "I didn't know that Your Highness arrived, and I missed the welcome, please forgive Your Highness." ”

"Let's go inside." It seems that this bustard man knows me, and he knows me, but he lowered his voice and quietly greeted me, and he didn't make everyone know, so it would be easier to deal with the next thing.

"Yes, please." He bowed down and led us inside, while he was busy directing the thugs to clear the lively people inside and outside the Caiyun Pavilion and vacate the best private room on the second floor.

Although the third prince and the scholar Xiao Lian frequently cast puzzled glances, as if they were curious about why this bustard was so respectful to me, only Jiang Zhuo's face did not change to protect me, and intentionally or unintentionally separated the distance between the bustard and me, so as not to be harmed by the choking smell of fat powder on his body.

As a matter of course, I sat down on the main seat of the private room, and the third prince sat down under me, and the bustard consciously stood not far in front of me, and the scholar and Xiao Lian, who came in at last, taught this formation so intimidating that they could only stand in the center of the hall, clutching each other's hands tightly, as if grasping the last driftwood, and waiting powerlessly for the verdict to be pronounced.

The scholar was quite calm, but the little mercy in her arms was already pale, shaky, and full of panic, which showed that this Caiyun Pavilion did not leave a good memory for him.

After taking a sip of the prepared fragrant tea, I looked at the two people who were hugging each other, and then at the bustard who was pretending to be calm with his head down, and opened his mouth leisurely: "Tell me, the two of them, what's going on?" Is the deed torn? How much money was ransom? ”

"Dian......" As soon as he spoke, Jiang Zhuo flew a cold eye knife over, and saw that he shuddered almost inaudibly, and quickly changed his words, "Distinguished guest Mingjian, where did this poor ghost get the money to redeem people?" I don't know what kind of rhetoric she used, deceived my little mercy and secretly tore up the deed, and she was desperate to elope with her! ”

"Nonsense! Obviously, you took the money and turned your face and didn't recognize people! The scholar was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, and he sneered at each other, "You black-hearted and capricious villain, I and Xiao Pian are in love, where is the coaxing?" Besides, I also scraped together enough of the two hundred taels of ransom money you said, and handed it over to you with your own hands, but I didn't expect you to go back on your word and beat Xiao Pian severely! You ask yourself, is there still a royal law in your eyes? ”

"Oh, Wang Fa! Open your dog's eyes and see, this ...... in the hall "The bustard duke still wanted to point out my identity, but he received Jiang Zhuo's warning eyes, so he had to swallow it back and change his words, "My master of Caiyun Pavilion, but a character who can make the entire Dawu tremble three times by stomping his feet, what is the royal law?" That lord is the king's law! ”

He complimented me with a flutter of eyebrows, and when he had finished speaking, he glanced at me in what thought he was stealth, as if to invite merit--I only felt my temples jump suddenly for such an appearance: I really don't know how he became the steward of Caiyun Pavilion with his character and ability.

Could it be that the properties under Kuang Xihan's name are all handed over to such a person to take care of? Then it's no wonder that King Ling's reputation has fallen to the dust.

"Are you done?" Taking a sip of tea noncommittally, I signaled the third prince who was eager to speak to calm down, and seeing the bustard nodded, I glanced at the indignant scholar again, and smiled at her, "You can tell me about the cause and effect of the matter, you don't need to go into too much detail, just explain it clearly." ”

She should also see that I am the person in charge, and even the bustard has to look at me, so she saluted me with interest and said respectfully: "Chen Jingyan, a person from Zechang, who is famous, met Xiao Lian by chance and fell in love at first sight. However, the family had thin assets and was short of money, so it took a few months to raise the two hundred taels that the bustard said to redeem Xiao Lian. The body contract has been torn up, Xiao Lian is already free, who knew that this bustard openly broke the contract, not only to detain Xiao Lian, force him to pick up guests, Xiao Lian did not comply, but also imprisoned him and beat him, and there was really no way to do it in his later life, so he made this decision and left with Xiao Lian. What the late student said is true, and please make it clear to the adults. ”

"Oh? Is she serious? The deed has been torn? I pondered for a while, then turned my head to look at the bustard with a weak face, and asked in a cold voice.

"This, this, then He Yuanwai is willing to pay five hundred taels of silver to buy Xiao Lian, I see that Xiao Lian has no good future with this poor scholar, so I ...... I'm doing this for his good! Seeing that I was silent, the bustard was anxious and defended himself in a loud voice.

When he said this, he refuted his previous confession, admitting that he had embezzled the ransom money against the water, and unreasonably seized it.

"You don't have to say more, I have my own decision." After listening to the explanations of the two parties, I already knew in my heart, so I intercepted his words, so that he would not be noisy again.

But when he saw that the scholar's face was relaxed, the bustard was trembling like chaff, and he was as silent as a cicada.

“…… Miss Chen, do you know what is wrong? After a pause for a while, I had done enough foreshadowing, and just when everyone thought that I was going to administer justice for this scholar and Xiao Lian, I smiled faintly, but I unexpectedly asked about the scholar.

-- What this bustard did was certainly despicable, but isn't there anything wrong with this scholar Chen Jingyan?
