Chapter 260: Exploited

"How can you be here, and still know him?" Xia Houyan, who had changed her clothes, touched her chin and said to herself, I haven't seen this little girl for a long time, and she seems to be a lot more beautiful.

Xia Houyan was brought back to Beijing by the emperor's people, and since then he and Emperor Wenjing have been separated from each other by inexplicable things, and they no longer trust each other as much as before.

Xia Houtian is the only son of Lao Hongwang, so he naturally wants to inherit the title, but unfortunately Emperor Wenjing does not trust King Hong, and must wait until he dies before making a holy decree, and let Xia Houtian inherit the title and immediately return to Shangjing to thank him.

Then, Xia Houtian was temporarily placed under house arrest in Shangjing, and he could go anywhere in the city, but he couldn't leave the city. And he can only live in the post house, which is enough to show that Emperor Wen Jing has doubted Xia Houtian.

The most unfavorable thing is that Emperor Wen Jing actually sent him to monitor this new King Hong, can it be said that he is also under the suspicion of Emperor Wen Jing?

Xia Houyan knew best what he had done. Seeing Mu Jinrou's smiling face, and then looking at Xia Houtian's innocent appearance, he suddenly felt a little irritable, this cousin he had never understood, and he had been wondering since the first time they met in Qingliangguan.

Why would Hongwang help himself? He didn't know, but his mother had to make him believe in the Hongwang lineage, saying that believing in Xia Houtian was like trusting his own brother.

But Xia Houyan knew that he didn't have a brother, and he really didn't want to know what kind of story there was. I was tired of this road to winning the heir, but I had to send it when I was ready to fly, so I had to harden my heart and do things.

Outside the window, Mu Jinrou had already walked to Xia Houtian's side and met the queen of the ceremony. Asked: "His Royal Highness King Hong, I don't know if the little Turkic prince is available?" ”

Xia Houtian smiled: "Here, county lord, please!" ”

Mu Jinrou also smiled and said, "Lord Wang, please!" ”

The two men are handsome and the women are pretty. Looking at Xia Houyan, it was very uncomfortable. always felt that Mu Jinrou was very dangerous to be with that person, since he agreed to marry Mu Jinshang as a side concubine, he had abandoned the kindness of the woman, what reason did he have to persuade her now?

Not long after Mu Jinrou and the others entered the post house, suddenly a person dressed in black appeared in Xia Houyan's sight. The man drove a pickup truck to stop at the door of the post house, took out an object from his arms and showed it to the guard at the door, and then entered the post house.

Xia Houyan felt that there was a big problem with this person, so he waved his hand and called a few people and ordered: "Go and check this person." ”

"Yes!" His subordinates are also disguised. Go downstairs now.

This car is very broken, and a cart of leather goods has been pulled, and the condition is good at a cursory glance. There was also a person sitting in the car. The man was lean and lean. Xia Houyan's subordinates stepped forward to get close to him.

The scenery in the post house also has a sense of depression, the former lush green is no longer there, and several people are familiar with the courtyard where Ashinatu is located.

Mu Jinrou never spoke much, and followed behind King Hong like a stuffy gourd, just bowing her head.

Xia Houtian kept talking in front of him. "Lord Jinrou. I don't know what I do on weekdays? ”

Mu Jinrou frowned, this is so familiar, I remember when those who had nothing to say asked like this.

"The prince can call the little girl Jinrou, but the county lord really doesn't dare to be anything." She laughed and said, just sloppy.

Xia Houtian immediately changed his words, "So this king is disrespectful, Miss Jinrou." ”

"Huh." Mu Jinrou could only hehe again. She had nothing more to say. At this time, I really want to see Ashinatu as soon as possible, and then ask for silver and leave.

That's when it happened. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of black, and she turned her head to see that there was a dark shadow not far away, which was so familiar.

"Boss Jia?" Mu Jinrou whispered to herself, that back, that dress is really similar. However, how could this person be in Shangjing and come to the post house, the people living here are not ordinary people.

"What?" Xia Houtian frowned lightly and looked at Mu Jinrou with a smile.

"Ah, nothing." Mu Jinrou saw Xia Houtian's handsome face and became entangled again, could it be that her suspicions were wrong?

It didn't take long for Xia Houtian to say: "We have arrived." ”

In front of him was the courtyard where Ashinatu was, Mu Jinrou didn't know how she came over, and glanced at the elegant and handsome Xia Houtian again, and the veil in front of her was really uncomfortable.

Ashinatu was asked not to go out by Princess Ruyu early in the morning, and she had important matters to discuss in the afternoon. From after breakfast, he felt that something was wrong, as if something big was going to happen.

For Princess Ruyu said that he could only stay in Shangjing in the future, Emperor Wenjing set out to build the princess's mansion for her after the year, and he Ashinatu was the concubine of the princess's mansion.

But I got to know Princess Ruyu more and gradually liked her, and I didn't want to refute her intentions, so I struggled for a long time. It's just that his eldest brother thinks this is very good, saying that his temperament is not suitable for the grassland of the weak and the strong, and he can stay here in order for the Great Xia Emperor to rest assured of their Turks, so as to help their Ashina clan.

To be honest, Ashinatu is not stupid, but he grew up under the protection of his mother, and he is a little naΓ―ve. Hearing the eldest brother say this, he also rested and returned to the grassland to show his ambition, it is not good to have two heirs in the royal family, what is he afraid of making some sacrifices for the stability of the Turks, not to mention, he really likes the hearty temperament of Princess Ruyu, like a woman in the grassland, but she is much more knowledgeable and educated than a woman in the grassland.

It's just that when he heard his subordinates report that the county lord of Jinrou was coming, Ashinatu's face suddenly turned green, and he gritted his teeth hatefully, "The Crescent Moon Pit is not shallow!" ”

Before returning to the Turks, Xinyue wrote to him, confessing everything she had done, and finally swore that she would never do it again, and that this time the debt would be paid for her cousin first.

Ashnatu didn't want to go back to the grassland, although it was good, it was really hateful to have a bunch of relatives who were looking for trouble for him. But how can this debt be repaid? He only had a thousand taels left to him by his eldest brother.

As the saying goes, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and Ashinatu was stumped by the IOU in Mu Jinrou's hand.

As soon as his subordinates finished reporting, Xia Houtian came in with Mu Jinrou.

The three of them all knew each other, and after each of them met the ceremony, when the maid in the post house served hot tea, Mu Jinrou took out the IOU straight to the point, "Take a look." ”

Lotus came to Ashnatu with a large IOU. The big characters on the IOU can be seen clearly by everyone, and the repayer is Ashinatu. The content is that Mu Jinrou is owed 10,000 taels of silver. The person who wrote the IOU was a crescent moon and stamped with a handprint.

Ashinatu grabbed the IOU with a dark face, and the lotus immediately retreated. It embarrassed him. The hand is withdrawn, it is not not not receiving, it is not receiving.

Mu Jinrou didn't care about that, and said bluntly: "If you don't give the silver, you can't let you see the IOU, what if you tear it up?" Here are the originals. ”

Xia Houtian said: "The little prince should not be difficult for you as a Turkic royal family with only 10,000 taels of silver, but the Jinrou girl is different, you also know that she has a stepmother, and life is really difficult." ”

"I ......." Ashnatu didn't know what to say, he didn't have any money.

Mu Jinrou had no idea of speaking. This man knows so much.

At the time of the stalemate, Princess Ruyu appeared in glory, and as soon as she came, she smiled and took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels and gave it to Mu Jinrou.

This extra-large IOU naturally went into the hands of Princess Ruyu. Ashinatu is even more uncomfortable, this is eating soft rice.

Mu Jinrou is also a discerning person, and immediately said two good words and left, leaving time for this pair.

Out of the yard, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's finally over."

Xia Houtian was still by her side. smiled: "Miss Jinrou has worked hard, I think Ruyu will definitely be able to achieve her wish." ”

"Yes." Mu Jinrou also smiled, and when she raised her head, she saw a black-clothed back out of the corner of her eye.

At this time, a small man dressed up came to Xia Houtian's side and said a few words, "Lord Wang, the leather you wanted, the leather goods are high." ”

"Oh? So much better. Xia Houtian looked happy, and smiled at Mu Jinrou: "Miss Jinrou likes skins? Why don't you go with this king and pick a few. ”

Mu Jinrou shook her head and said, "No, the elders in the family are still waiting for me to reply." Thank you for your help. Jinrou took her leave. ”

She didn't want to guess who was who, and she was anxious to go home as soon as the matter was over. Brother's marriage, how can she, as a sister, have to do something.

The two said goodbye, and Xia Houtian sent the messenger just now to lead the way for her.

Mu Jinrou also followed this little guy with peace of mind, just because she had something in her heart and didn't know that the way back was led a lot away by this little guy, so she took a lot of wrongful roads.

After about a quarter of an hour, I left the inn, which was not very large, and when I stepped out of the gate, I saw a leather wagon parked outside the door, carrying leather back and forth.

This car Mu Jinrou is too familiar, and the people in the car are also familiar, isn't that the thin man who met Boss Jia's entourage in Tianjia Village? Could it be that the person I saw just now was really Boss Jia?

Mu Jinrou originally thought that Boss Jia was pretending to be King Xinhong, although this was her guess, because the voices of the two were really too similar, but the temperament and appearance were really two people.

Looking back at the post house again, I just saw King Hong talking to the black-clothed man who was suspected of being Boss Jia.

Mu Jinrou was suddenly confused, it turned out that they were not alone, so good. If it were the same person, how insidious and cunning this King Hong must have been, it would be a big trouble for a small person like her.

After the suspicion was confirmed, Mu Jinrou's mood also relaxed, and she walked unhurriedly to her carriage.

The thin man on the leather wagon recognized her and said hello to her casually, not treating her as a big man at all, Mu Jinrou also liked this kind of ordinary life, and waved his hand to say hello.

When she got into the carriage, Boss Jia finally officially appeared in front of her, trotted two steps forward and saluted her, "The little one asks for peace to the county lord of Jinrou, the little one used to have eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, and I also ask the county lord to forgive me." ”

Mu Jinrou raised her eyes and looked, isn't this person Boss Jia? Who else but him with that scruffy beard and philistine smile? He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Who told you that I am the county lord?" Are you apologizing for what happened in Tianjia Village? ”

Jia Lao Dadao: "Naturally, His Royal Highness King Hong, who just bought a small half-car of leather goods." Oh, the little one still has a few good skins in his hand, so why don't you send them to the county lord to apologize. ”

Mu Jinrou snorted coldly, "Excuse me." You cross your single-plank bridge, I will take my Yangguan Road, and I will say goodbye, and there will be no time in the future. ”

She doesn't lack good skins, and Li Yi can't wear them anymore. Oh, by the way, I also promised to get Ren Susu a good fox skin, and I don't know if this girl's legs are better.

In an instant, Mu Jinrou's mind deserted, how Boss Jia was, how King Hong was suddenly thrown out of the clouds.

"Lotus, let's go to the foodie's house." She wanted to leave the 10,000 taels of silver tickets there, and wanted to take a few more snacks for her aunt to taste.

Walking out of the post house street, Lotus said: "County Lord, that Boss Jia has been following us." ”

Mu Jinrou frowned, and said hatefully: "Don't pay attention to him, this person is a dog skin plaster." ”

It's just that she is very curious, where was that fat girl Ye Cuihua sold by them, and I heard her brother say that Ye Fu's family didn't even dare to mention this daughter.

On the other side, Xia Houyan listened to the report of his subordinates, thought for a moment and said: "Keep an eye on that leather merchant for a few days, is King Hong still in the mansion?" ”

"Back to the master, in the house."

It stands to reason that it is a bit unreliable for a prince to come forward to buy skins, but Xia Houyan didn't think so. The people brought by King Hong are only ten fingers, and he will come forward to buy some good skins in person, and there should be no good objects in Nanling except for saving some silver.

"How did that furrier get acquainted with Lord Jinrou?" Xia Houyan asked again.

The subordinate said: "I heard that I met in Tianjia Village, and some unpleasant things happened to them. ”

"Tianjia Village?" Xia Houyan tapped on the table with his fingers, he still knew what was going on there. Then he waved his hand and said, "Go down and continue to stare at King Hong." ”

Subconsciously, he didn't want Mu Jinrou to be involved in the battle for succession, this war seemed to be peaceful, but in fact, it was a hidden murder, and a bad one would be a monstrous disaster.

Mu Jinrou came to the foodie and gave the silver ticket to Qingzhu, and asked her to find a chance to give it to Xiao Dengzi, and she completely completed the task of Princess Ruyu. The next step was to pack all kinds of snacks, and while she was packing, she drank tea in the lounge.

Boss Jia really followed, and Mu Jinrou deliberately served a series of weird snacks such as weird peanuts to see his reaction.

I saw that Boss Jia ate the dim sum sprinkled with mustard, his eyes did not blink, and his heart did not beat, and he looked at Mu Jinrou and frowned again and again. I think I've seen this scene somewhere.

Mu Jinrou couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid of spicy?" ”

Boss Jia threw a strange peanut and said: "Spicy is enough to taste, but this taste is really weird!" ”

"Weird?" Mu Jinrou's brows furrowed even deeper, and this answer was similar.

She doesn't think it's a person who likes mustard-flavored dim sum, this is ancient, and she thinks that this kind of dim sum is only available in foodies. So who is the person in front of you?

Maybe her eyes were staring too much, Boss Jia raised his head and said, "What's wrong?" The taste of this snack is really weird. ”

Mu Jinrou intuitively felt that her brain was sweating, and there would be no big beads of sweat dripping on the side.

But she knew that the people in front of her were in danger, but she still said to her, "I don't entertain people who eat white food here, so you have enough silver." ”

Boss Jia raised his head and laughed: "I will pay the silver according to the price, Lord County, don't be so stingy, isn't it just a few pieces of dim sum to get acquainted?" You have a fortune. ”

Mu Jinrou pouted and said, "The county lord also wants to eat, what can he eat without silver?" Hum! ”

After speaking, he got up and left, and did not forget to take the packed snacks with him before leaving.

Boss Jia threw a peanut into his mouth again and said to himself, "What a smart girl!" (To be continued.) )
