Chapter 18 Dogs

In the past few days, Yuanxin took Menghan to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and went in and out of pairs, turning around the huge capital, and Cheng Zheng couldn't find anyone when he wanted to see him. In ancient times, it was such a happy thing to be an idle young master of a powerful family, Menghan sighed.

However, only three days passed for them to be free, because on the third night, when Yuanxin and Menghan returned, they brought a dog with them. This dog is snow-white, stupid and cute, very cute, Menghan calls it Derpy. When I see Derpy on the side of the road, he is being led by a young man. When the man was choosing a folding fan, Menghan secretly teased it twice, but he didn't expect Derpy not only not to be angry, but also wagging his tail to Menghan to show goodwill. Menghan was happy all of a sudden, pestering Yuanxin to ask for the dog, where could Yuanxin be able to resist Menghan's crying and trouble, so he had to agree. Menghan accosted the man, Yuanxin secretly cut the rope in the man's hand, picked up Derpy and ran for a while, and when the man noticed, the dog had already disappeared for half a minute, and Menghan slipped away when the man looked around. Such a dirty deed, only Menghan and Yuanxin are happy.

In the evening, Cheng Zhengyuanxin and Menghan had dinner at the same table, and of course, Derpy. What made Cheng Zheng completely speechless was that Yuanxin moved a chair over, "Come, Derpy sit on it, Derpy is so good." ”

"Derpy, do you want to eat chicken legs, it's fragrant." Menghan took a chicken leg and handed it to Derpy, who happily took a bite of it, as if he was part of the family.

Seeing Cheng Zheng's green face, Yuanxin handed the chicken leg that was about to enter Derpy's mouth and handed it to Cheng Zheng, and stammered: "Brother, do you want it?" ”

The angry light in Cheng Zheng's eyes at this moment was eager to kill Yuanxin.

"Don't forget it," Seeing that Cheng Zheng didn't mean to eat, Yuanxin took a bite and handed the rest to Derpy, "Derpy, is it delicious?" ”

Cheng Zheng put down the dishes and chopsticks with a snap, "You guys eat." ”

"Hey, you really don't eat, why are you, it's yourself who doesn't eat and starve, don't blame me for your stomach in the middle of the night." Without waiting for Yuanxin to finish speaking, Cheng Zheng had already gone out.

The next day, Cheng Zheng talked with the guests in the front hall, and after finishing, Cheng Zheng put the letters left by the guests on the table and sent the guests out, but the letters disappeared when he returned.

"Chen Li!" Cheng Zheng called the palace housekeeper.

Chen Li came running, "What do you want from the eldest young master?" ”

"Did someone clean up the house just now?"

"The front yard has always been cleaned by Ah Hong, and I will call her." Chen Li went to call Ah Hong and came back soon.

Cheng Zheng asked her, "Did you put away a letter I put on the table?" ”

Ah Hong shook her head: "No, the slave has been cleaning in the yard." ”

"Who was in the antechamber just now?"

"No, the slave didn't see anyone in the yard." Ah Hong said affirmatively.

"Didn't see that?" Hell not? Cheng Zheng glanced around, but saw that the hateful white dog in the corner was biting something Dongzi. Chen Li trotted over and picked it up and handed it to Cheng Zheng, Cheng Zheng looked at the letter he was looking for, and immediately became angry, "Chen Li!" Got this dog done! Ah Hong kicked me out of the house! ”

At noon, Yuanxin came in with a rabbit in the door, "Derpy, Derpy, come out, I'll find you something to play." Yuanxin couldn't find Derpy, and when he saw Qinghan passing by with a teacup, he hurriedly stopped and asked, "Qinghan, have you seen my Derpy?" ”

"Second Young Master, this ......"

"Tell me, I caught a rabbit for Derpy." Yuanxin slipped the rabbit to show Qinghan.

Qinghan said cautiously, "The eldest young master asked Derpy to be cut down and thrown out." ”

Yuanxin couldn't believe it, "What! Why did he kill my Derpy!? ”

"This, the slave and maid don't know, the slave and maid saw Steward Chen leading someone with a knife in the courtyard......" Qing Han saw that Yuanxin's eyes became as cold as a knife, and he didn't dare to continue. Yuanxin left with an angry face. Derpy actually hurt me, I'll give you some color to see.

When Cheng Zheng entered the study, everything was out of reach, the desk was empty to the touch, and the pen and ink couldn't be grasped. If this is the case again and again, Cheng Zheng began to suspect that according to legend, there is a phantom array on the rivers and lakes, which seems to be mysterious, but it has long been lost, and he has only heard of it, could it be, this is?

"Yuanxin!" Cheng Zheng must be him. Yuanxin has traveled all over the world, traveled all over the country, and it is normal to see strange things, and it is also expected that he can learn some thaumaturgical abilities, and he is the only one in this mansion who can go into battle.

Coming to Yuanxin's room, Cheng Zheng knocked on the door twice impatiently.

"Come in." Yuanxin was lying on the rocking chair lazily reading a book, smiling proudly, uncle, I'm waiting for you.

Cheng Zheng got straight to the point, "You set up the array in my study?" ”

"Yes." Yuanxin replied briskly, still calm.

"I'll give you two choices, first, break the formation for me now, and second,"

"I'll pick two." Without waiting for Cheng Zheng's words to finish, Yuanxin made a decisive choice, threw the book in his hand and bravely looked at Cheng Zheng angrily, with a look of arrogance What can you do with me.

"Okay, come on, put Yuanxin in prison for me!"

The DPRK and China allowed the residences of officials of the third rank and above to set up government jails to temporarily detain suspects who had not reported to the police. Yuanxin walked out with a smug smile, you still have to come to beg me sooner or later, close me, who will break the formation for you.

When Menghan learns about Derpy and Yuanxin, she goes straight to Cheng Zheng's study in a rage.

The subordinate who was guarding outside stretched out his arm and stopped in front of Meng Han, "Girl, you can't go in. ”

"Get out of the way!" Menghan shook off his hand, the next person thought that Menghan was a girl, and he didn't dare to pull hard, Menghan kicked open the door, and the mighty momentum was the same as that of a man, "Cheng Zheng!" Why did you kill my Derpy, and why did you close the far letter? ”

Cheng Zheng and Jin Feng were studying the wonderful phantom array in the room, and when they saw her breaking in so rudely, they looked at the trembling subordinate with angry eyes, and the subordinate hurriedly knelt down, "The eldest young master forgives the sin, the girl insists on coming in, and the little one can't stop her." ”

"Pull it down, and the rod will be twenty!" Cheng Zheng threw out a sentence indifferently, and Jin Feng went outside the door and recruited two subordinates.

"Wait!" Meng Han stopped him, "I broke in by force, it's none of the business, why are you beating him?" ”

"The palace has the rules of the palace, he should be bad, and he should be punished."

"I said it's okay for you to be reasonable, it's not that he didn't report to you, I broke in by force, he didn't have time to report to you, the fault is me, not him."

Nishikaze turned his gaze

"Say it."

Seeing Cheng Zheng's ruthlessness, Menghan lost his previous confidence, and turned a question into a declarative sentence, "Why did you kill Derpy." ”

Cheng Zheng said coldly: "I killed it because it deserves to die." ”

"Didn't it rob you of a chicken leg last night?"

"You ......" Cheng Zheng was really speechless about Menghan's understanding, "It tore up a letter from me." ”

Menghan questioned him, "Why don't you put your letter away, don't you know that Derpy is lively and active?" ”

Cheng Zheng saw that Menghan not only did not apologize, but also used strong words and said angrily, "Do you still think it is reasonable?" ”

"I didn't say that." Menghan knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to be tough and lose this battle, so Menghan asked again, "Then why did you lock up Yuanxin?" ”

Cheng Zheng's eyes swept coldly, "Do I need to explain to you when I lock up my brother?" ”

Menghan replied as a matter of course, "Of course you need to explain to me, you know that the two of us are together all day, who is playing with me when you lock him up?" When did you release him? ”

"When I'm happy."

"You have a cold face all day long, and Ma Yue will be happy in the Year of the Monkey, you take me to see him."

Cheng Zheng snorted coldly, "You have the ability to go in first." ”

Meng Han said arrogantly, "I don't care, you either let him out today or let me go to see him, I won't leave if you don't give me an explanation!" I'll be here to see what you can do with yourself. Menghan sat on the chair, but unexpectedly fell to the ground and hurt. I reached out and touched the chair, but I couldn't catch it like air, "Why is it empty?" What's going on? Projection? ”

Cheng Zheng saw Menghan's wolf appearance, and forced him to laugh, Menghan struggled to get up, counting the two people who saw the joke, "You, you know that this is empty and don't remind me, two big men bullied me a girl, and you are embarrassed to laugh." Oh, I said, how did I see you standing and talking as soon as I entered the door. ”

"Excuse me, girl, we didn't mean to tease you." Cheng Zheng apologized.

Meng Han glanced at him, "I'll tease myself." ”

Jin Feng caught Menghan's words, "I don't know what the projection the girl just said?" ”

"That's ......" Menghan was about to explain, she has always been happy to explain modern advanced technology, although it was a little difficult for the ancients to understand, but that was when Menghan had the most sense of accomplishment. Now, Menghan has to think about it, "Want to know? Let your master let go of the letter and I'll sue you. ”

"You love to talk about it or not." Cheng Zheng was not half interested.

"Do you like to ask, huh!" Menghan helped his fast-flashing waist and went out.

Jin Feng felt that Cheng Zheng was a little reckless in driving away Menghan, "Young Master doesn't think that maybe a solution can be found from Miss Yao?" ”

Cheng Zheng shook his head, "Yao Menghan is still investigating, don't rush to move her." ”

In the cell, Yuanxin was lying bored on the small and hard bed, a straw in his hand knocked on his other hand without a moment, "It's boring...... Alas, you are guilty of your own iniquity, and you shall not live. Yuanxin looked at the window high up, it was already dark, and his stomach was croaking.

"Someone's coming!" Yuanxin shouted at the door.

The subordinate ran diligently, "What does the second young master command?" ”

"Don't you have food in your cell? Is it any wonder that the prisoners are starved to death in such a quiet silence? ”

"Back to the second young master, the eldest young master has ordered, and you are not allowed to send you food."

"Damn!" Yuanxin was so angry that he scolded, "Call your eldest young master!" Tell Cheng Zheng to roll over for me, I want to see him! ”

As soon as the words fell, Yuanxin looked up and saw Cheng Zheng walking slowly, and suddenly wilted. It's miserable, I'm still eating, I can't eat and walk around, and I hope that what I said just now didn't provoke you. Far from being beating the drum in confidence, but on the surface, it can't be too embarrassing, right?

Cheng Zheng waved his hand to signal his subordinates to step back, and glanced at Yuanxin with cold eyes, "Say." ”

Soft? No, you can't be so spineless. Hard bump? I'm in such a situation now, and I'm still hard, I think I'm tired of it. Yuanxin whispered, "Even if I violate the law of the country and am locked up in the cell of the Dazhao Criminal Department, I must have prison food." You imprisoned me privately, but you still abused me like this, you are too narrow-minded. ”

"Could it be that I still have three sticks of incense a day for you?"

"Three incense sticks a day are for the dead, not for your uncle and me!"

"Looks like you're still quite energetic, I should come back in three days." Cheng Zheng snorted disdainfully, turned around and left.

"Stop!" Yuanxin saw that he was leaving, and panicked.

Cheng Zheng stopped and waited for him to speak.

If you don't give in, you'll starve to death here, "How are you going to give me something to eat?" "Yuanxin is obviously not as strong as it was just now.

Cheng Zheng asked rhetorically, "I can't enter the study now, what do you say?" ”

"The inkstone on your desk, that one can be touched, and the phantom disappears when you turn it three times to the right." Yuanxin's tone had softened.

Cheng Zheng walked out after listening.

"Where's my food?" Yuanxin asked later, your memory is not so bad, right?

Cheng Zheng turned around, "I didn't say that I would give you food if the formation was broken, your joke delayed my military affairs, you yourself are here to reflect on it." ”

"Cheng Zheng! Your uncle's! Yuanxin called Cheng Zheng's name in the cell and scolded. You'd better starve me to death here, otherwise when Uncle Ben goes out, set up a formation that you can't break in your life. Despicable villain, untrustworthy. An hour later, Yuanxin stopped all kinds of abuse of Cheng Zheng and turned to fantasizing about food. Looking at the moon outside through the high window, I counted it weakly, "The round moon is like a big cake, white and delicious." Cheng Zheng's head is like a big cake, white and delicious......"

After noon the next day, boredom and hunger, Yuanxin lay listless in bed, and even had no interest in entertaining himself. "Brother, you won't be so ruthless, but I teased you, and you won't kill your relatives in righteousness." Yuanxin got up from the bed, and suddenly felt dizzy, a Venus in front of him was spinning around, and he barely stood firm by holding on to the wooden fence next to him, "My body is so weak, if you don't come again, I will really starve to death here." ”

At this time, the subordinate was leading Jin Feng over, "Second young master, young master, please come over." ”

The savior is here, Yuanxin is a great joy, cough cough, it can't be too embarrassing, right, Yuanxin pretended to be calm and said leisurely: "It's rare, your young master still remembers me." ”

The subordinate opened the prison door, and Jin Feng left with Yuanxin.

Yuanxin complained bitterly along the way, "Jinfeng, to the right is the kitchen, can you let me go in and eat something again?" ”

Jin Feng reminded, "The young master is waiting for you." ”

"Oh, let him wait a while, I'll go in and eat whatever you want, soon." Yuanxin patted Jinfeng on the shoulder and trotted away.

Jin Feng helplessly waited for him in the same place, he came out excitedly with all the pastries in both hands, and handed them to Jin Feng Dao, "Do you want to?" ”

Jin Feng said in disgust, "Have you washed your hands?" ”

"It's not dry, it's not clean, and it's not sick if you eat it." Yuanxin laughed, stuffed pastries into his mouth, and the two walked towards Cheng Zheng's study.

Jin Feng sent Yuanxin to Cheng Zheng's study and left, Cheng Zheng looked up and saw Yuanxin and couldn't help frowning, "Can you wipe your mouth clean?" ”

Yuanxin wiped his mouth with his hand, sat lazily on the chair, leaning on the armrest behind him, it seemed that if it was a bed, he would like to lie down.

"Why don't you speak?" Cheng Zheng spoke.

"No, strength, strength, are you satisfied?" Yuanxin replied, "The position of the duanhou is not stable, but he has learned a lot of torture techniques. ”

"I'm already very polite to you."

"Then you're kind to let me see and understand?" Yuanxin looked up and found that the treasure generally stood up and walked towards Cheng Zheng, picking up the tea on his table.

Cheng Zheng stretched out his hand to stop, "Drinking strong tea is not good for your health." ”

"Thirteen hours without a drop of water is good for the body?" Yuanxin drank it in one go, put down the teacup, and sat down again, "Say, you can't wait for me to eat." ”

"I'm afraid you'll fall asleep when you're full." When he was a child, he was basically in a half-asleep state every afternoon, and if he ate too much at noon, he couldn't expect him to learn anything in the afternoon.

Cheng Zheng took out a book from the drawer and threw it at Yuanxin, who reached out and caught it, and threw it aside without looking at it.

Cheng Zheng instructed, "Memorize this book." ”

"I said I would not enter the court, nor would I participate in the clan fighting."

"You can see first."

Yuanxin glanced at it and almost jumped up from his chair, "The ancient precepts above? Why? ”

Cheng Zheng sneered, "Grandpa will be back in a few days, you should study hard to restrain your temperament." ”

"Then there's no need to memorize a book, right? Wouldn't you be exaggerating? "Yuanxin complained bitterly.

"I'll give you two days, come and recite this word by word to me, and I'll whip you ten times if you make a mistake." Cheng Zheng smiled proudly, "You made me unable to enter the study all day, this is the price you pay for playing with me." ”

Yuanxin said tentatively, "You, you can't be serious, right? ”

"What do you say?" Cheng Zheng picked up the tea, picked up the tea lid and habitually dialed it twice, only to find that the water in the teacup had already been drunk by Yuanxin, and he dropped the teacup very shamelessly.

It's rare to see Cheng Zheng make a fool of himself, Yuanxin couldn't stop laughing, Cheng Zheng said angrily, "If you laugh again, I'll add a book to you and try it." ”

Yuanxin immediately covered his mouth, grabbed the book and went out obediently, and when he got to the door, he didn't forget to turn back and say proudly, "Your tea is indeed strong enough, and it is very bitter, I said do you have masochistic tendencies?" ”

Cheng Zheng grabbed a book and was about to smash it at Yuanxin, but Yuanxin had already dodged and ran out of the door.
