Chapter 370: Shivering
Facing Leng Yixiu's inquiry, Zhao Dakai regretted it to death, he glanced at the family members standing on the side, and the anger in his heart was not in one place, these family members were too, so could he not remind himself, is this Ning Wang's Mansion?
Always let himself be noisy, now that he is heard, how can he be good now?
The cold sweat on Zhao Dakai's forehead rolled down and fell onto the bluestone brick surface, leaving a shallow mark, "Lord Wang...... Villain...... The villain doesn't know that this is King Ning......"
"This has nothing to do with whether or not this is Ning Wangfu," Leng Yixiu interrupted him, and a cold voice came from above his head.
He paused, Zhao Dakai felt that his throat was tight, and the wind around him seemed to be quiet, and several family members in the courtyard stood with their heads down, their eyes lowered, and none of them dared to pant loudly.
"You did something wrong, you don't know?" Finally, Leng Yixiu's voice came again, but the blame in it was self-evident.
Zhao Dakai shook and thought about all his life affairs, and even remembered that he peed his pants when he was six years old.
Truth be told, there are not many bad things done, such as...... got involved with Wei'er of Cuixianglou, hiding from his mother-in-law, such as deducting the wages of those guys, such as peeking at the daughter-in-law of the bodyguard Huzi taking a bath, such as telling Mr. Bookkeeper, oh, it is the brother-in-law's daughter-in-law who told the secret once, so that he was beaten by his wife once, and other ......
His heart sank, could it be that the rumors of his usury leaked out? It shouldn't be, it's done very secretly......
However, when he thought of the person who appeared in his gambling house and looked exactly like himself, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, even this kind of person could be found, what else could Ning Wangfu not do?
He gritted his teeth, stretched out his head is a knife, and shrunk his head is also a knife, it is better to say it happily, maybe King Ning will open the net, thinking of this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Back to the prince, that ...... The loan shark ...... before the villain put it"
"Huh?" Leng Yixiu's voice was a little sneering, "Let's talk about the usury matter later, now this king is not talking about this matter." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Dakai was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't think of anything else worthy of King Ning's action even if he thought about it, "Please...... The prince made it clear. ”
"This king is here to ask you, do you know that the gambling game you opened has a very heavy impact on the matter of Dabi?"
As soon as Leng Yixiu's words came out, Zhao Dakai was even more stunned, the gambling game opened? The one now? Isn't it just that the interest rate of the loss is a little bigger? Isn't it just a little more exciting? What does this have to do with Ning Wangfu?
Dabi ...... Zhao Dakai's brain seemed to be knocked open by this sentence, but he couldn't figure out what it was for a while.
"Set up this gamble to attract more people, have you noticed that among that gambler, there are many people with martial arts, and even some gang members?"
"This ...... Yes. Zhao Dakai said with some embarrassment: "However, villains can't check other people's net worth backgrounds when they open gambling games......"
"Hmph," Leng Yixiu sneered, "You're right, but, have you ever thought that it is these people who make this gamble more uneasy than ever, if...... By the time Dabi is nearing the end and they find themselves about to lose, guess what? ”
"Ahh Zhao Dakai exclaimed, Leng Yixiu's words made him completely understand the conspiracy behind this gamble, and understood why the mysterious person said that he would pay for whether he won or lost!
I didn't understand it at the time, but at this time, I figured out everything!
And he indirectly became an accomplice of the mysterious man! Almost ......
He was shocked into a cold sweat, looked up at Leng Yixiu, Leng Yixiu's expression was cold, and the iron-blooded temperament of the god of war rushed to his face, he hurriedly lowered his head again, touched the ground with his forehead and said: "The villain is guilty!" The villain is guilty! The villain should not be carried away at the moment, and he almost ruined Dabi! ”
The cold color on Leng Yixiu's face receded slightly, "You are a smart person, so I will leave you, but you have to stay here for a few days, and when the time comes, it will naturally be useful to you, as for whether you can survive in the end, ...... you"
He groaned for a while, and a cloud floated across the sky, gently covering the dazzling sunlight, Zhao Dakai felt that it was dark in front of him, and it became difficult to even breathe.
"Depends on your own table." Finally, Leng Yixiu spoke again, his tone was light, but like the hand of fate, he gently choked Zhao Dakai's throat, waiting for an order, it was time to harvest his life.
Zhao Dakai hurriedly bowed, "Villain...... I must obey the orders of His Royal Highness King Ning, and atone for my sins. ”
Leng Yixiu stopped talking, the slightly cool corners of his robe seemed to slide across Zhao Dakai's forehead, and he turned around and walked out.
That piece was as cold as a snowflake in winter, falling lightly, but the coolness seeped into the bones and blood.
Unlike here, the conversation in the Red Sleeves Garden, while calm, is no less frightening.
Lan Shuyu has already heard the news, and her father has jumped from the position of the county governor of Anxian County to the prefect of Jeju Prefecture! Jeju Prefecture is the largest prefecture near Kyoto, and it is also a place where grain and grass gather.
There are not many granaries in Kyoto, and if the city is closed, there is only enough grain for the whole city for three months, and the larger granaries are in Jeju.
In such a rich state, how many people dot the door of Kyoto, sharpen their heads and want to drill into it, so they almost beat their heads and bleed, jumping to scold each other's mothers.
Where did you think of it, under a holy decree, everyone's thoughts were extinguished, and it fell on Lan Mingwu's head.
That's it, Lan Mingwu turned out to be just a county magistrate, so he was promoted to the top of the ranks, the reason for this is ......
Hugh said that others, even Lan Shuyu herself, also thought of herself, but she knew in her heart that a big match victory was far from enough for the emperor to promise such a generous reward, not to mention, this big match was just the beginning, she just won the first game, if you ask the champion, Lan Shuyu asked herself, and she was not completely sure.
The doubts in Lan Shuyu's heart made her uneasy, and she remembered that Xiao'er tried her best to persuade her to let her stay in King Ning's Mansion, which was ......
She looked at Rong Xi, Rong Xi sat on a chair, quietly drinking milk tea, the aroma was strong, and her posture was peaceful and graceful.
Lan Shuyu thought for a while, and saluted Rong Xi and said, "Princess, Shuyu heard a piece of news today, I don't know if the prince has mentioned it to the princess?" ”
"What's the news? Let's hear it. Rong Xi put down the teacup, which was a fine white bone china, and the blue patterns on it were like a pure sky, exuding a low-key and warm light.
Lan Shuyu pursed her lips, "Shuyu heard that the Holy Decree was issued today, and it was the order of my father, which said that the emperor transferred my father from the post of county governor of Anxian County and promoted him to the prefect of Jeju Prefecture, I don't know...... Is there such a thing? ”
Facing his burning gaze, Rong Xi smiled faintly in her heart, and finally knew, but it was still faster than she imagined, she nodded and said, "Yes, this princess has heard about it, to be exact...... I heard it before the decree was given. ”
Lan Shuyu's face changed slightly, if the thoughts in her heart before were just guessing out of thin air and scaring herself, then now Rong Xi's words are undoubtedly suing her, she thinks ...... There's nothing wrong with that at all.
Rong Xi looked at her quietly, she believed that with Lan Shuyu's intelligence, she must have thought of what kind of deep meaning the emperor had behind this holy decree, his drunkard's intention was not in wine, and a big victory was far from being worthy of such a rich reward.
The ruddy on Lan Shuyu's face receded, and the original red color was like a tide, layer by layer, disappearing, revealing a little paleness, like sand under the waves, and a faint dampness appeared in the paleness.
Rong Xi's gaze was unmoving, as bright as a star, as if it wanted to penetrate Lan Shuyu's muscles and bones and see through what she was thinking.
Rong Xi had to know what Lan Shuyu really thought in her heart, this was her mind she had made up her mind early on, although she felt that Lan Shuyu was proud and calm in her heart, and she was not the kind of person who coveted the glory and status in front of her, but the matter was important, she had to figure out whether her judgment was wrong or not.
She can't afford to take the risk of offending the emperor for an insignificant person, of course, she also has a reason for Leng Yixiu to do this, but just like Leng Yixiu said, without Lan Shuyu, there will be other women, Rong Xi initially moved this idea, and it was only because of Lan Shuyu himself.
"Figured it out?" Rong Xi finally spoke, looking at Lan Shuyu's pale face, she asked indifferently and calmly.
Only calmness can make people see more clearly.
"Figured it out," Lan Shuyu's tone was also very calm, only there was a faint tremor that she tried her best to suppress, but for Rong Xi, she was already very satisfied.
"So, what do you mean?" Rong Xi's gaze swept over a cloud in the sky, the clouds were rolling and soothing, all by himself, so free, even if he was blown away by the wind in the next second, it was scattered in the sky, endless, vast and high.
"The meaning of the little girl is very simple," Lan Shuyu took a step back, lifted her robe and knelt down in front of Rong Xi, her waist was straight, like a bamboo swaying in the wind without losing her bones, "The little girl is willing to follow the princess, now and in the future, as long as the princess does not dislike it for a day, the little girl will not stay away for a day." ”
She paused for a moment, and then continued: "The news of my father's promotion, as if the little girl had never heard of it, I only hope that the princess will ...... While taking in the little girl, protect the father well, and don't let Long Wei be angry and affect the innocent. ”
Her voice is not high, but it is crisp and powerful, word by word, like cutting gold and breaking jade, gently echoing in the room, she raised her head, raised her chin, a proud air lingered between her eyebrows, and her eyes were shining, like blue water, swinging into Rong Xi's eyes.
