Chapter 65: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince
A group of men dressed in purple brocade hurried over, looking panicked and uneasy.
"What happened?" The leader of the leader, a man in his forties and fifties with a ruddy complexion and delicate skin, hunched over his waist and hanging his head, asked softly and respectfully.
The noble boy laughed, "It's okay now." Then he ordered the people on the side, "Bring this person to the criminal department for trial." ”
The middle-aged man who was pointed at raised his head sharply and resisted, "Who are you?" Why arrest me? ”
In the distance, horses galloped in the distance, dusty, and bypassed the crowd, and the leader was the first to get out of the carriage.
It was General Liu who returned with his cavalry battalion.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" General Liu took the lead, and all the generals knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison.
Everyone else knelt down one after another, and even the onlookers knelt down and saluted.
Hu Acai and the middle-aged man had even more shocked expressions.
Especially the middle-aged man, he actually wronged the prince for stealing his money bag, he must have gone out today without looking at the yellow calendar, and he hit the evil. At this moment, the middle-aged man's eyes rolled and he fell over. A plainclothes guard stepped forward and dragged him down.
Hu Acai was already frightened, although he also knew that this capital was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it was very likely that he would meet a big official, but he never thought that he could meet a figure like the prince.
was both happy and frightened, he seemed to have helped the prince, Hu Acai recalled what happened in his heart again and again, and confirmed it again and again.
"Why did the prince come here?" It's not the first time that the prince has gone on patrol. General Liu was just puzzled why so many people gathered next to the General's Mansion, "What the hell happened?" How did you serve the Prince? ”
He scolded the eunuchs on the side.
The man who was in the lead, his voice was a little feminine, and his sharp voice was still shocked: "The minions of Fang Cai were not careful, and they actually lost the prince. After speaking, he knelt on the ground, "The slave should die, the slave should die." ”
This person is Wang Da, the personal eunuch next to the prince, and he is also the chief manager of the prince's mansion.
The crown prince Lu Yi didn't think so, but recalled what had just happened, and felt a little fresh and exciting, "Don't blame them." ”
Seeing the prince's happy face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
General Liu said solemnly: "The prince asks the advanced general's mansion to rest for a while, and Weichen will send a carriage and horse to send you back to the palace." ”
It's been out for a while, and it's really time to go back to the palace, the prince nodded. When he turned around, he pointed to Hu Acai, who was stunned on the side, "You also come in with you." ”
Only then did General Liu see Hu Acai in the crowd, and saw that he was wearing the armor of his cavalry battalion, and his face seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
The general's mansion suddenly became lively, and when the prince arrived, naturally all rooms had to come out to greet him.
The general's wife recognized Hu Acai at a glance, and thought to herself that he must have mixed into the mansion with the crowd.
After the group finished paying homage, Mrs. Liu was overjoyed, and hurriedly instructed her subordinates, "Quick, fetch some water for the prince to freshen up, and prepare some snacks to make this year's new tea ......"
The prince smiled happily and sat down on the main seat, "I was just afraid that your old man would be busy with work, so I didn't dare to come." ”
"Look at what the prince said, it is an honor for me to come to our house." Old Madam Liu stood at the bottom and said with a smile.
The maids brought the golden basin and waited for the prince to wipe his face and clean his hands. Old Madam Liu also stepped forward affectionately and tidied up the prince's hair bun and clothes. The prince looked at her with a smile, and the relationship seemed to be between the grandfather and grandson.
Back then, General Liu was the prince's old archer, so Mrs. Liu grew up watching the prince. Every time the prince leaves the mansion, he will come to General Liu's mansion to sit and talk.
After freshening up, General Liu asked about what happened outside Fang Cai's mansion.
Only then did the prince think of Hu Acai again, looked at Hu Acai with a pleasant expression, and praised: "Your cavalry camp is really capable!" Look at him, he's just an ordinary soldier, and he's so capable. ”
After praising it, he asked, "How did you find out?" ”
Hu Acai pursed his lips, looking pensive, that's how he saw it! When the prince asked, how should he answer?
Hu Acai, who was kneeling on the ground, hung his head, and replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, that kid is also weak-hearted, I ...... "No, you can't call yourself me," the grass people, indeed carefully checked the money bag, and found that there were finger prints on the money bag, so I thought that maybe there was one on the body, and I was really guessed correctly by the grass people. It's just that he felt that these were not enough to prove him, so he deliberately blamed him, never thinking that he was weak-hearted, and actually acquiesced. ”
After hearing this, the prince laughed, "You are really smart and bold, and this prince likes it." Ha ha! ”
The prince was wronged and accused of being a thief, or was he outside his Liu Mansion, General Liu was furious, "Tell me to go down, that guy who doesn't have long eyes, ask clearly if there is a comrade?" Is there anyone behind it? ”
"No!" A man with a long beard and dressed as an lieutenant, after answering the promise, retreated with a few people.
The ladies in the room were in an uproar.
"If this kind of thing happens, it must be a good student to find out." Old Madam Liu frowned, covered her chest and recited "Amitabha", and carefully looked at the prince before she was relieved.
Then he expressed his gratitude to Hu Acai, "It's really thanks to you." ”
This is the old lady Liu who arrested his family? Mrs. Anqinghou's own aunt?
"What reward do you want?" The crown prince felt that Hu Acai had a great appetite for him.
"The grass people don't dare." He wanted to, but he didn't dare.
"It's okay, it's a great achievement for you to save the prince. Not only the prince will reward you, but the general will also reward you. Although the prince was out in Liufu, after all, he was also saved by his soldiers, and the guilt in General Liu's heart subsided a little.
In the whole house, everyone still didn't know that he was Magu's husband, and even Mrs. Liu still had an approving expression at present.
Only the general's wife knew that at this moment, her palms were full of sweat, and she was worried and at a loss.
Sure enough, something scared her.
"If you really want to appreciate the grass people, please ask the old lady to release the grass people's families." It was they who made it, so ...... And he said.
Not only Mrs. Liu, but even General Liu, including the crown prince, are unknown.
Old Madam Liu smiled calmly, "Your family, how can I recognize it?" After speaking, he seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law who was stunned, and knew it in his heart.
"The family of the grass people, you ......" Hu Acai was reckless, and he also knew that this was a great opportunity to rescue his family, "I was invited into the mansion by you." ”
Even if the teeth of hatred in my heart are itching, I have to take care of the old lady's face. He also understands the principle that everything is easy to discuss when people go down the stairs.
