Chapter 20: The Master's Play
Before you see him, you hear his voice first.
Although the sound came from afar, it was as if a person was beside him, and it was not easy for someone to come.
When Tao Muqing was thinking secretly, Zhu Rongguang lowered his voice and suddenly said: "Don't panic, these people are not coming at you, raise your head and hold your chest, don't want three hundred taels of silver here, but make people suspicious." ”
What does he know!
Tao Muqing was stunned, looked up and saw him with a reassuring smile, there was no malice, but it was warm and relieved, and the nervous heart was slowly put down, and he smiled back.
At this time, two middle-aged men, one in front of one and one in the back, walked into the door one after another.
The former is full of peaceful color, a plain and elegant, with a jade pendant tied around his waist, this jade pendant is as black as ink, the color is heavy and greasy, the texture is fine, and the purple tassel is matched below, and there is an elegant and warm state between the noble and gorgeous.
The latter followed behind the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile on his face, dressed in brocade clothes, short and thin, with splayed eyebrows hooked nose and thin lips, and two pairs of eyes purring.
The official's face turned pale, his shoulders trembled, and his voice trembled: "Master Wei, City Lord Zhang, ......" looked at City Lord Zhang eagerly, but he gave City Lord Zhang a gaze and glared back, suddenly feeling isolated and helpless.
According to the title of the official and the previous mention of the master, the former is needless to say that he is the eighth-order Emperor Jade Master Master Wei, and the latter with a smile on his face is naturally the Zhang City Lord of Beiyun City.
Although the most feared by the people in Beiyun City are the four great jade refiners, not him Zhang City Lord, but no matter what, he is also the lord of a city, as the lord of a city, no matter in terms of bearing, demeanor and behavior, he is not like the leader of a city, maybe it is his state that makes it difficult for the people to believe him.
Shicai's deep voice must have come from Old Man Wei's mouth.
Tao Muqing's gaze didn't dare to linger on the two of them, but he just looked at it for a moment and then hid his body behind Zhu Rongguang.
"Master Zhu, why did you get angry with a little soldier? It's my subordinates who don't know how to be funny and ruined your good thing?"
When the officer and soldier heard him say this, they felt a chill on their backs and beads of sweat on their foreheads.
When the officers and soldiers heard him say this, their backs were cold, but their foreheads were sweating profusely, and they wanted to cry without tears.
Zhu Rongguang snorted disdainfully, shook the jade fan in his hand, and ignored his sycophancy.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Cheng thought that he had guessed correctly, and glared at the officer and soldier angrily again, and reprimanded himself with self-righteousness: "Bastard guy! It has ruined Master Zhu's interest! Someone! Drag him out and beat him with a cane and fifty boards!"
The more Zhu Rongguang listened, the more ugly his face became, and his gloomy face did not interrupt City Lord Zhang's self-righteousness, and Tao Muqing suddenly felt puzzled behind him.
His master pressed the anger, which play did he want to play?
"Ask the city lord to spare his life, the little one is not bad for Master Zhu...... No, no, no, it was the little one who had eyes and didn't know Taishan who mistook Master Zhu's apprentice as a suspect, and offended this girl with no concealment...... "The more the official said, the more he wanted to cry, and what he said was worse than the city lord's mistake, so he could only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy."
"Ask the city lord to flee for his life, and beg Master Zhu to spare his life......"
This Chunhualou is a Qinglou, a place for men to have fun, it is naturally a man who comes, and the woman here is naturally a Qinglou woman, but what is the matter with this apprentice of Master Zhu?
City Lord Zhang crossed behind Master Zhu while begging for mercy from the official, but Master Zhu covered her tightly, and she could only see the dress, but look at this dress is indeed a Qinglou woman......
What kind of medicine is sold in this old man Zhu's gourd!
Although City Lord Zhang was full of questions, he didn't dare to ask more, but when he heard him say this, he remembered Fang Cai's own self-righteousness, his face was slightly stunned for a moment, and he shouted angrily at the officer and soldier: "Bastard guy!
"Spare your life...... The city lord spares his life, and Master Zhu spares his life......"
Tao Muqing couldn't help but sigh when he heard the sound being dragged farther and farther away, until there was no sound.
"Why is the little apprentice sighing? Aren't you angry?" Zhu Rongguang's body didn't move as he spoke, but he just looked at City Lord Zhang.
Zhang Cheng is a person in the officialdom, observing words and emotions is a basic skill, listening to what Master Zhu said, how could he not understand the meaning.
He bowed slightly, and after slapping himself twice, he smiled and apologized: "Fang is the one I pretended to be smart, talking nonsense, ruining the reputation of Master Zhu and your apprentice, and I hope that the girl will not care, Zhang Mou, I am here to compensate the girl, if there is something in the future, Zhang will solve the girl's worries." ”
When Tao Muqing heard this, he remembered something, but he didn't dare to mention it, and after thinking about it left and right, Zhu Rongguang took out the silk handkerchief from his arms and handed it back to her.
"Thank you, master. Tao Muqing was very grateful when he took the handkerchief, and after covering his face, he was still a little timid at first, but after thinking of the master's words of encouragement before, he moved his body to the right and walked out of Zhu Rongguang's back.
"My apprentice is shy by nature, and he is born in a captivating city, I am afraid that it is not suitable to show his face, so that others will think about it, and at that time I love the disciple and I can't help but be angry and want to cut off someone's hands and feet to seal his mouth. ”
"......" The people present, everyone looked at each other, who dared to say no.
"Nature is, nature is so. City Lord Zhang nodded frequently, not daring to peep more.
Anyone who is so cheeky to say such a thing is only his master.
Tao Muqing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard the handkerchief, and he was full of emotion while being funny.
The master's play is for her!
In order to stop being bullied by others in the future, warn others that she is his backing!
Zhu Rongguang reminded: "Since City Lord Zhang has taken the initiative to ask for help, apprentice, you don't have to brush off the kindness of others, and talk about any difficulties, such as how you unfortunately fell here." ”
How did he know that he couldn't help himself, Tao Muqing was slightly surprised, but he only glanced at him. After nodding slightly, he said, "The little woman happened to have something to ask for, but I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
During the conversation, he glanced at Master Wei, who had been watching quietly, and didn't know whether to say this in front of him.
Master Wei still didn't make any response, and when he saw her looking at him with a little embarrassment, he only smiled slightly.
After City Lord Zhang followed her line of sight and glanced at Master Wei, he took over with a smile and said, "It's okay for the girl to be straightforward. ”
"Just because not long ago, the little woman and her brother first came to Beiyun City, unfortunately in the mountains outside the city encountered a fierce beast attack and panicked when fleeing rolled down the cliff, fainted and woke up alone was rescued here, the little woman is very grateful to the bustard mother for saving her life, but the brother is still alive and dead, how can I sit here, I want to thank him after he finds his brother and then solemnly thanks for saving his life, but the bustard mother has put me under house arrest here, not to follow is a beating, I and my brother are just rural villagers, since we don't understand the outside world, in order to find my brother, I can only agree to the bustard's mother to ask for her to do things for life......”
Seeing her, Lord Zhang choked up and paused, followed her words, and continued: "I didn't expect this Chen Jinhua to be so vicious, don't worry, Master Wei and I came here this time because I heard that she pretended to use the name of Master Wei to make a fortune." As for your brother, you can rest assured that tomorrow I will send someone to get your portrait and search for it. ”
