Chapter 27: Wrath of the King

In the Red Plum Garden, there is a small but very elegant Xuanlou, called Yixue Xuan, the status of the six princes is noble, and it is a male guest, so he was naturally invited here by Xiao Heng, and the officials of Yiying also sat on the side.

Zhou Xianqi, the sixth prince, greeted these officials with a smile on his face, in fact, he enjoyed this feeling, because when he was in Changping, he was quite an inconspicuous one among the princes.

The crown prince whose background is not comparable to the prince's dignity, the second prince Prince Tai, whose family background is not as good as the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his prestige is not as good as the upright fifth prince King Rui, and the ** love of the wheel father, he is even more incomparable to the seventh brother Zhou Xianyu and the ninth brother Zhou Xianchen.

Surrounded by officials and stars like this, the six princes are really experiencing it for the first time, and he will be a little fluttering and forgetful.

But before he could enjoy the party more, suddenly a maid ran in from outside, and as soon as she came in, she shouted: "Master, master, it's not good, the back house where the young ladies live has entered the villain." ”

As soon as Xiao Heng heard this, his face immediately became very ugly, he looked at the anxious Yahuan, and secretly annoyed that she was too unruly.

This time, not only the big and small officials in Yangzhou are here, but even the prince is here, but this girl Huan said that there is a thief in the house, this is not to tell others clearly, he Xiao Hengzhi's family is fine, let Xiaoxiao break in, and it is also the back house of the female dependent, if this is true, where should he put the face of the envoy of this festival.

But in front of everyone's eyes, Xiao Heng couldn't get this girl out of the ring, so he had to suppress his anger and said: "Don't talk nonsense, maybe there are many guests today, you are dazzled for a while, where did the thief come from." ”

Xiao Heng is a military general, so most of the people in this mansion will also have some punches, not to mention that he doesn't believe it at all, someone will break in, even if it is true, this will be in front of everyone, he must not investigate, so many bureaucrats are watching, if he wants to make a slight mistake, he must be caught by political enemies.

But the little girl who came in didn't care about Xiao Heng's secret eyes at her, but took out a purple sachet.

continued: "What I said is true, the man's behavior is very suspicious, the slave maid followed him, and saw him into the rockery by the lotus pond, and nearby, the maid also picked up this sachet, which was embroidered with the name of the fourth lady, sir, you should go and see, the maid is really worried that something happened to the fourth lady." ”

Xiao Heng really couldn't sit still now, he took the sachet in his hand at once, looked down, and saw that on it, a clear and graceful Xuan character was embroidered in the right, and his heart sank.

But Xiao Heng is a battle-hardened general in the end, and he is anxious, but he said without leaking a little on his face: "These four girls, maybe they were accidentally dropped by play, you can go back and send it to her, it's just a trivial matter, don't make a fuss." ”

After saying that, he handed the sachet to the girl ring and motioned for her to leave immediately.

However, at this moment, the sixth prince, who was sitting firmly at the top, stopped the girl ring and said with a concerned face: "Lord Xiao, it seems inappropriate for you to do this, since there are suspicious people haunting, and the personal belongings of the lady in the house happened to fall nearby, if you don't go to take a look, this prince will feel uneasy." ”

A touch of anger flashed on Xiao Heng's face, the identity of these six princes is noble, after all, they are here as guests, and now they are still the lord of his house, but he still can't do it, just when he didn't know how to answer, suddenly a lazy laugh came from outside the door.

"I said Sixth Brother, when did you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade so much, but this is the Xiao family, your heart is too wide, and it is really a capable person who works hard, and this is much more than what others say."

As the voice fell, I saw Zhou Xianrui and Zhou Xianyu, one after the other, walked in, although everyone had already heard that Yangzhou came to several princes, but in addition to the six princes, this Rui Wang and the king, all the officials also saw it for the first time, and they hurried to salute.

And Zhou Xianqi, the sixth prince, who was originally calm and relaxed, will be full of embarrassment.

How could he not hear it, Zhou Xianyu was secretly mocking him for being nosy and talking a lot, but he couldn't afford to offend this seventh brother, so he could only pretend not to listen and sit there without squeaking.

Ji Lingfeng, who was sitting on the side, looked at the six princes, and a look of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, but he still stood up, smiled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness is not good at this, and His Royal Highness the Sixth is also very kind, but whether or not to go and take a look, it is naturally Lord Xiao who makes his own decisions." ”

Who knew that Zhou Xianyu listened to it, smiled evilly, and after glancing at Ji Lingfeng a few times, he said leisurely: "The affairs of the Xiao Mansion are naturally decided by Lord Xiao, but how can I look at it, now the master of my sixth brother is replaced by you, the master has not spoken, you are really noisy." ”

The corners of Ji Lingfeng's eyes twitched twice, he had long heard that the mouth of the Seventh Prince was as sharp as a knife, and he had always recognized himself as a lotus flower, but compared with this royal king who didn't scold people and didn't spit out dirty words, he really sighed to himself, and wanted to refute it, the identity of the other person was there, this feeling was really depressing.

At this time, Zhou Xianrui, who was as calm as a mountain, also said: "I heard that the Xiao Mansion held a plum blossom banquet today, and this king came uninvited, and Lord Xiao went out to enjoy the plum blossoms with him." ”

He is naturally helping Xiao Heng take the opportunity to leave, since he knows that the six princes and others are coming for Xiao Heng this time, he naturally can't let the other party succeed, Yangzhou officials collude up and down, this Jiedu envoy is the only person he can rely on, otherwise he would not have come here to protect each other.

Xiao Heng naturally knew that it was best to leave, but in order not to save the face of the six princes, he still said politely: "Thank you for your concern for my fourth daughter, but my Xiao Mansion has always been safe, and today is that girl who is so happy, let's go and enjoy the plum." ”

In fact, Xiao Heng is not worried about Xiao Jinxuan, but he must not move now, otherwise once something happens, his majesty, where will the face of the Xiao family go.

Xiao Heng is in this position now, and sometimes he has to make corresponding sacrifices, if Xiao Jinxuan really has an accident, he can only sigh that the other party is blessed.

Seeing everything, it seemed that it had just passed, Ji Lingfeng and the six princes even looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and secretly sighed that it was a pity for this layout.

Zhou Xianyu, who had been speaking out against the six princes, violently pushed away the officials surrounding him, came to the maid ring who reported the news in a few steps, and asked with a cold expression: "You said that the person who had the accident was Miss Xiao Si?" ”

This girl, looking at the handsome Zhou Xianyu, didn't care about pleasing to the eye, the other party's face was full of anger, it was really terrible, she could only nod her head in horror, and she was even frightened to say that it was not good.

Damn it! Zhou Xianyu was very annoyed in his heart, because he came late and didn't see Xiao Jinxuan's sachet, he only thought that it was Xiao Jinlian who was set up, after all, the other party was a concubine, and the effect was definitely the best.

That's why he was so calm and calm, but now that he heard it, it was Xiao Jinxuan who he thought about at night, so why didn't he stay.

With a gloomy face, Zhou Xianyu raised his leg and kicked the door directly, he was about to go out, he had to hurry over, otherwise that woman really had three longs and two shorts, and he couldn't forgive himself.

But before he stepped out of the door, he was dragged by Zhou Xianrui from behind, and saw the other party say in a low voice: "Seventh brother, what are you going to do, this is Xiao Mansion, don't mess around." ”

A touch of irritability flashed in Zhou Xianyu's eyes, he knew that Zhou Xianrui was reminding him not to act rashly, and he knew better that he would naturally weigh the intentions of Ji Lingfeng and the others.

But what if he knows, let him ignore Xiao Jinxuan for the sake of the overall situation, Zhou Xianyu can't do that, let alone do that!

didn't turn around, Zhou Xianyu directly waved away Zhou Xianrui's hand holding him, and said in an indifferent voice: "Fifth brother, what the sixth brother said is right, don't take a look, how can people feel at ease, Xianyu will go and see, if there is a thief, I will let him die without a whole body." ”

That's right, if that woman misses the slightest, not only will he tear up the person who dares to hurt her, but he will not let go of Ji Lingfeng and Zhou Xianqi, who set up the bureau.

His people, these guys, also dare to make up their minds, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead!

Zhou Xianrui didn't speak, just watched Zhou Xianyu rush out, he looked down, because he was shocked by the other party's internal force, and his right hand was still shaking lightly, and his brows furrowed.

This is the first time Zhou Xianyu has shot at him, although it is subconscious, it shows how angry the other party was just now.

What kind of person is this fourth lady of the Xiao family, who makes Zhou Xianyu care so much, and even loses his temper in public, Zhou Xianrui feels that he needs to check the details of the other party.

The happiest at this time were naturally the Sixth Prince and Ji Lingfeng, and as soon as Zhou Xianyu went out, the two of them hurriedly followed, and when the other officials saw this posture, they naturally had to follow.

After a while, only Zhou Xianrui and Xiao Heng were left in this room.

Zhou Xianrui smiled helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Lord Xiao, it seems that this king can't help you out of the siege today, but my sixth brother is not good, you have to be careful." ”

Zhou Xianyu reminded him that Xiao Heng also saw that something was wrong, but he snorted and said: "His Royal Highness King Rui, let's go over too, I want to see what kind of wind and waves these six highnesses want to set off in my Xiao family."

The prince took the lead, and all the officials followed, and as soon as this group of people appeared in the red plum garden, they didn't need to speak, which naturally attracted the surprise of those ladies and ladies.

And Ning, who knew the inside story, and Qian Yingluo naturally hoped that things would get bigger and bigger, so under the deliberate rendering of the two, many ladies and ladies also followed everyone and walked towards the lotus pond. The lively plum garden in an instant turned out to be deserted.

Until now, who cares that they are here to go to the banquet, the Xiao family looks at it as an accident, and it is definitely a big deal, everyone is curious, so they naturally have to join in the excitement.

Zhou Xianyu took the lead and walked in the front, and when he finally arrived in front of the rockery, he was going to go in immediately, but suddenly stopped.

His eyes flashed with astonishment, and then turned to anger, and the hands in his robe were clenched into fists, although he didn't go in, but he faintly heard some movement from inside.

The sound of soft gasps, the violent crash, and the man's grunt of satisfaction, all stimulated his head to buzz, because he knew too well what these sounds meant.

For the first time, he hated himself, why did the six senses have to be so sharp, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to breathe in pain.

And the six princes who followed Zhou Xianyu closely, seeing that the other party was just standing there and not moving, he was in a hurry, so he had to walk in first.

And urged: "Seventh brother, go in quickly, if the fourth lady is really inside, let's go in earlier, and she will be safe earlier." ”

"Get out!" A burst of shouting mixed with a thick murderous aura and anger came out of Zhou Xianyu's mouth.

Seeing that he was still standing there, he suddenly stretched out his left arm, and was about to cross his sixth prince, when he stopped his chest, his whole arm was even more violent, and he hit the opponent's chest horizontally and directly.

saw the sixth prince "wow", spit out a mouthful of blood, and then the whole person flew out upside down, and in the exclamation of everyone, he fell to the ground, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.
