Chapter 4 Blessings and Misfortunes --- Disgrace
That night, Mu Chenfeng carried the unconscious man to a secluded place, threw it on the ground, and kicked it a few times.
The people on the ground woke up from their slumber, and when they opened their eyes, they saw a white-clothed boy standing in front of him, and he couldn't help but secretly cry out in his heart, "I have fallen on the road, I thought that there was silver to hold and a beautiful woman to hug, who ever knew that if I did too much injustice, I would kill myself." This man also knew the current affairs, got up, kowtowed again and again, and cried: "The son spares his life, and the villain is also open-minded when he sees money, and is instigated by others." ”
Mu Chenfeng snorted coldly, "To tell the truth, otherwise .........." The rest of the sentence was not finished, but his right hand reached out into his sleeve.
The people on the ground were already kowtowing like pounding garlic, and when they saw it, they burst into tears, and hurriedly replied: "The villain says everything, the villain is the subordinate of the ruffian king Siliu in the capital, and he is called Rat San." On weekdays, I like to drink a flower wine, gamble and gamble for money. This day, someone came to me and said that it was beneficial, and asked me to sleep with a big girl with yellow flowers, and I would have a hundred taels of silver to get after sleeping. The villain was glad to hear that such a good thing had happened, so he went with the man. But who knew that since it was the Prime Minister's Mansion, the villain originally planned not to take this job, but he was reluctant to accept the one hundred taels of silver, so he followed in a daze. But Childe also saw that the villain didn't do anything, and the villain didn't want the one hundred taels of silver, so I begged Childe to spare the villain, and the villain will definitely repay Childe for not killing him if he is a cow and a horse in the future. ”
Mu Chenfeng couldn't help but be suspicious after hearing this, and asked again, "Do you know who that woman is?"
Rat San replied: "The villain doesn't know which woman it is, but the tone of the person looking for me should be the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Mu Chenfeng couldn't help frowning, "Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, apart from the second miss who has no mother, that is, the granddaughter of the old prime minister, who else can be so painstakingly calculated?" Look at this act, it will not cost her life, but it will ruin her reputation. But if something happens tonight, what is the difference between taking the life of the second young lady, it is really vicious. Thinking that the old man Bai was diligent for the country, he didn't expect that the descendants would suffer so much, and he couldn't help but choke. ”
After thinking about it, Mu Chenfeng said with a straight face, "Tonight's matter will be said to the person who hired you according to your original arrangement, if there is a half-point difference, my Xunyinlou will also kill your dog." ”
Rat Sanyi couldn't help but gasp when he heard it, everyone in Xunyinlou knew about it in the entire Great Zhou, and it had a guard team-red-clothed guests, all of whom were devils who killed people without blinking. Collecting espionage news from all over the world, the ears and eyes are even lower than the peddlers' pawns, up to the dignitaries, even if they lose ten lives, they can't afford to offend, and the one in front of him must be Mu Chenfeng, the young master of Tianyinlou.
Rat San immediately kowtowed and agreed: "The villain must act according to the son's orders, please rest assured." ”
Mu Chenfeng shouted: "Get out."
Rat San immediately crawled and stumbled, and looked back from time to time, fearing that Mu Chenfeng would change his mind for a while.
If you don't do this, I'm afraid that the second lady will escape from the first year of junior high school, and she won't be able to escape from the fifteenth. As for the impact of this afterwards, it depends on the creation of the second young lady. Mu Chenfeng looked at the morning light rising in the sky and turned to leave.
Let's say that in order to save his life, the three rats went to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately after leaving Mu Chenfeng. Of course, the Prime Minister's Mansion can't afford to offend, but this Xunyin Building is even more life-threatening. When they arrived at the second gate, the person who answered was already waiting.
Rat San pretended to be a scoundrel, stared at the triangular eyes, touched a goat's whisker, and said, "The matter is done, what about the silver?" ”
The man looked at the rat carefully, took out a hundred taels of silver tickets, and admonished, "Take care of your mouth." ”
The three rats are worth a small body, and the small triangular eyes are even more round, patting his chest and guaranteeing: "Take people's money, **, you can rest assured, I know what to do, and I must be tight-lipped." I have never been here, nor have I seen your old man. Then he casually drew the silver ticket and turned around and slipped away, went back to pack his things, and fled for his life.
Let's say that on this day, the teahouses and theaters in the entire capital, and everyone in the streets and alleys are talking about how the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion had an affair with someone last night, and how she looked for death and life after being discovered.
And in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Lingxi Courtyard, which is usually deserted and can no longer be deserted, has servants hiding outside the door from time to time to peek at the miserable appearance of the second lady, and secretly have fun from time to time. The real personal heart is sinister, the wall is down, everyone pushes it, and the drum is beaten by thousands of people.
The two people in the Lingxi courtyard did not know that although they were frightened a little early in the morning, but today Ling'er can remove the veil, and they are already full of eagerness to see the dignity of Allah, and the master and servant are very happy.
Just thinking about what happened early in the morning for a moment, Ling'er eagerly instructed Qingxi: "Hurry up and bring me warm water." ”
Where does Qingxi need to be ordered, there is already a full amount of water, Ling'er can't help but wonder, "Only Qingxi, this girl in this world, is the best for me." ”
Ling'er removed the veil, washed her face with water, and washed it six times before she removed the ointment. Qingxi raised the bronze mirror, Ling'er hurriedly looked at the mirror carefully, the skin of the person in the mirror was better than snow, the moth eyebrows were constricted, the eyes were dark, very smart, really a pretty woman. Intoxicated with a spirit, although this appearance has a bit of the feeling of his previous life, it is much more vivid than his previous life.
As soon as Ling'er's appearance recovered, the woman's love for beauty suddenly rose, and she came to the closet, rummaged through the many clothes, and finally took a fancy to a set of goose-yellow arrow-sleeved gowns. With Qingxi's skillfully combed hair, it adds three points of beauty and beauty.
Qingxi looked at her young lady and felt more beautiful than before, and couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful! ”
Ling'er turned around to see Qingxi's intoxicated appearance, and deliberately asked her, "How beautiful, wasn't I beautiful before?" ”
Qingxi is also a straightforward character, and replied: "The previous young lady was also beautiful, as delicate as a flower; Today's young lady is more like the morning sun sprinkled on bright flowers, and her intuition is full of brilliance, making people dare not look directly.
Ling'er was so unhappy when she heard this, but she was unforgiving, and quipped: "You will coax people, when will you find a little son-in-law, and your clever mouth will definitely coax people to bow down to their ears, and obey." “
Qingxi's face was flushed, her head twisted, and she said, "Slave maid to tell the truth, Miss is used to making fun of people." ”
After that, he turned around and went out to prepare breakfast for the two of them.
Ling'er couldn't help but giggle when she saw the result of her prank...... laughed out loud, and laughter floated out of the room like silver bells.
The laughter floating from the Lingxi courtyard heard the ears of the peeping people outside the courtyard, and they all secretly exclaimed: "Could it be that the second miss is crazy?" Also, when a girl's family encounters such a thing, can there be someone who is not crazy. Although it is a pity, most of the people who are not right-minded are snickering. It was as if this kind of thing happened to others, and it was as if they had begged for a bargain, and there were also henchmen of the Liu family's mother and daughter who had already gone to report the news and ask for money.
In Liu's room, dressed in a silver silk auspicious cloud brocade dress today, with low sideburns and oblique jasper and phoenix hairpins, Liu's family was obviously in a good mood today, and asked in a deep voice: "The news has spread?" ”
Liu's mother, who was dressed in a dark brocade dress, immediately said: "Mrs. Hui, as soon as the matter is done, the old slave arranged for people to spread rumors, and now everyone in the capital knows about the dirty things of the second lady, I think that the Rui Wangfu should get the news at this time, please rest assured." ”
Liu nodded slightly in satisfaction, and said: "Just don't let that girl die, it's not good to tell the master, after all, I am the head of the prime minister's mansion." ”
Liu's mother smiled: "She doesn't have the courage to look for a short-term view, according to the inspection, she must be crazy." ”
Liu said: "This is the best. ”
As they spoke, someone had already come to report, "Xiangye is back." ”
Liu Shi was surprised, went out of the door, and asked with concern on his face: "Why did the master come back so early, but where is it uncomfortable?" ”
Ji Qian's face was full of anger, he sat on the side, and threw the carved jasper teacup out casually: "You still ask me what's wrong, I'm going to ask you, a good daughter, let you discipline like this, now the civil and military officials in Beijing already know about it, how can this prime minister deal with himself in that court in the future, how can this prime minister's mansion be based in the capital?" ”
It is said that Ji Qian went to the early dynasty today as before, and after An Benhuai, the chief eunuch in charge of the court, whispered in the emperor's ear for a while, Emperor Xuanwen swept away himself. Even Na An Benhuai looked at himself meaningfully. Ji Qian was panicked for a while, only to feel that the people around him were all looking at him differently from before, and his back couldn't help but feel really cold.
After going down to the court, as in the past, he made an appointment with his colleagues to discuss political affairs, but he didn't expect everyone to snicker and say nothing, only saying that he had something to talk about another day.
made Ji Qian in a fog, and invited his cronies to inquire quickly, only then did he know that the inner house was on fire, so he hurried back.
Seeing that Ji Qian was angry, the Liu family had already calculated, so the tears that had been brewing for a long time flowed out, and cried: "The old man is angry, everything is the fault of the concubine." It's just that the second lady was arranged in the backyard and the lord agreed, and the concubine has always been cautious and cautious, and she didn't lose anything about what she should eat. The concubine only thinks about her mother's sorrow, and she prays for her mother every day, how do she know that there will be ...... last night. ”
After a cry, what he said was reasonable, and Ji Qian, who listened to it, also felt that he was wrong to blame her, and couldn't help but blame himself for the recklessness just now, but he couldn't save face, and said coldly: "Now is not the time to cry, let's think about how to deal with the aftermath." ”
Ji Qianfang remembered the changes in Emperor Xuanwen this morning, presumably the Rui Wangfu had been sued into the emperor early, and he could only wait for the various reproaches that the Rui Wangfu might make. The incident happened suddenly, and since I didn't have time to do any remedy. I hated the two girls for doing such a humiliating thing, and I had the heart to punish him heavily, and the smile of the Bai family and the sincerity and kindness of my old father-in-law in the past appeared in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.
Seeing that Ji Qian was speechless, the Liu family said: "Rui Wangfu is afraid that he will come over immediately to withdraw from the marriage, and this can only be answered, but what arrangements will this Ling'er make in the future?" ”
Ji Qian pondered for a long time, and said lightly: "I still live in the backyard, and I will not make other arrangements for the time being." He got up and walked away.
The Liu family knew that he was thinking about the Bai family's affection, but that Ling'er was now okay with his mother and daughter, so he had no objections, but was busy arranging other matters, and left this Ling'er behind.
On the side of King Rui's Mansion, early in the morning, King Rui Ning Qirui got the news that the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion had an affair with someone. This King Rui has always been arrogant, where can he tolerate an unfavored Miss Xiangfu like this, the first Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.
But after all, he grew up in the royal family, and as the prince of today's Great Zhou Kingdom, he has the kind of cultivation that is not chaotic in the face of danger and does not be shocked by changes. It's just that this relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion must be retreated, and although the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the granddaughter of the former Bai Lao Xiangye whom she admires, she has never seen this woman herself, and her virtue is really disgusting. So he personally went to the palace to say that he was with Queen Yan, and Queen Yan was also angry, but the matter had come to this, and she could only withdraw from the marriage. Just think about it, this matter doesn't want to happen to both families, it's better to sell that Ji Qian's favor.
It was the Rui Wangfu who simply sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to retrieve the letter of appointment, and did not do anything else to make it difficult, which made Ji Qian and the Liu family very surprised, especially Ji Qian couldn't help but be even more embarrassed.
Don't talk about this matter, in the palace of Ning Yihengning, the second prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Mu Chenfeng is reclining on the soft couch like a free and uninhibited prodigal man. And the person sitting on the bookcase asked with an inquiring face: "Brother Mu does not seek to be famous for all generations, I only wish that the world will be fragrant, don't say that you didn't interfere in the affairs of the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, you might as well talk about it." ”
Mu Chenfeng lazily responded: "Do you want to hear the location of the secret room of the Xiangfu, or are you interested in the second lady of the Xiangfu and want to meet her beauty?" ”
"Brother Mu has already found out where the secret room is?" Ning Yiheng was shocked.
Mu Chenfeng said squarely: "I'm not sure yet, but I guessed roughly, it's not appropriate to startle the snake now, and you have to wait for the time to be ripe before you can act." ”
Ning Yiheng bowed slightly, if he wanted to hurry, he would not be able to reach it, and this matter had to be taken care of slowly.
Without waiting for King Ning to ask again, Mu Chenfeng said: "The granddaughter of the old man Bai, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is suspected of being framed, if she hadn't been met by me, I am afraid that she would have been innocent." ”
King Ning couldn't help frowning, "What about the rumors outside?" ”
Mu Chenfeng smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It's just to cover people's eyes and ears, if you can save her, you can't solve the problem after all." ”
King Ning glanced at Mu Chenfeng speechlessly: "There is also this method of saving people?" "But when I think about it, there's really nothing better right now.
More than 100 years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the current Emperor Xuanwen has been on the throne for 22 years, but he has not been able to establish a prince. There are quite a lot of episodes in this, but the overall situation is that Emperor Xuanwen himself is undecided about his eldest prince and second prince.
The eldest prince Ning Qirui is resourceful, civil and martial arts, and his talent is enough to be qualified for the position of monarch, but he is ruthless and unscrupulous, which is what Emperor Xuanwen, who has always been gentle and elegant, does not like.
The second prince, Ning Yiheng, is not inferior to the royal brother in terms of talent and martial arts, but his mind is pure, elegant and uninhibited, and he may not be able to stand the constraints of being the king of a country. And he is young, if he crosses the eldest brother and establishes him as the prince, I am afraid that there will be another uproar.
As for the rest of the princes, although they are also quite outstanding, Da Zhou Xiang adheres to the rules of appointing the queen's son as the prince, and he does not take it into account.
Therefore, the battle between the eldest prince Ning Qirui and the second prince Ning Yiheng, Emperor Xuanwen knew it in his heart, but he was undecided.
