Volume 1 Chapter 26 Murder in the Street
In Linzi South City, Qingzhu Street, three men dressed in cyan servant costumes swaggered down the street.
Tsing Chuk Street is adjacent to Pozi Street, but unlike Pozi Street, which is deserted, this street is relatively bustling, with a constant stream of passers-by and hawkers.
An old man with gray hair, the skin on his face was dry and dark, accumulated by years of labor under the scorching sun.
He carried a load of grain, which had been deformed by the weight of the flat burden on his shoulders, and beads of sweat the size of beans were on his forehead, which showed that the weight of the grain he picked was somewhat beyond his capacity.
At this moment, his right foot suddenly crooked, as if he had stepped on a stone, and his whole center of gravity was unstable for a while, and his body fell to the right, and he happened to fall in front of the three men in blue clothes, and the load of grain fell to the ground and scattered all over the ground.
The man at the head kicked the old man away, and scolded viciously: "Get out!" Old stuff! ”
The old man let out a cry of pain, and his already thin body seemed to be about to fall apart, but the man in green clothes turned a deaf ear and patted the grain that had splashed on his body.
Immediately, there were a lot of people around and they began to point fingers. When the man in Tsing Yi saw so many people around, he shouted, "What are you going to do? ”
"What? Do? The two men behind him also glared at the onlookers.
"This old man just accidentally bumped into you, and you actually did such a ruthless attack! Isn't that too vicious? A burly man with a simple face spoke.
"That's right! That's right! ”
"You little servant, you are so arrogant!"
"Apologize quickly!"
When the onlookers saw someone coming out to speak, they spoke one after another.
The man in Tsing Yi sneered, "What? Are you going to stand up for this old thing? ”
"You untouchables! Have they all eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall? ”
"Do you know who this master is? This is Uncle Wang Xiaoyi, the close attendant of the eldest prince of Nangong in the Hou Mansion! The two men who followed him also looked at the crowd around them proudly, and helped them.
As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but retreat a little, the reputation of Suihou Mansion in Nancheng was really not small, and Nangong Que's murderous reputation also made everyone very afraid.
"What's the matter? Scared, right? If you're afraid, get out of here! Wang Xiaoyi looked at the crowd that was a little flinching and said with a sneer.
In an instant, everyone quickly dispersed, for fear that trouble would find their bodies. Only the simple man Xu was a little slow to react, and he was still in place.
"Big man, why aren't you leaving? Looking for death? ”
"You have to apologize to this old man!" The simple man looked directly at Wang Xiaoyi's gaze and did not flinch in the slightest.
"Yo! Apologize? What is this old thing? Do you also deserve to apologize to our Uncle Wang? Wang Xiaoyi's attendant said mockingly, walked up to the old man again, and grabbed him by the back of the neck, "Old thing, even if you apologize, do you dare to accept it?" ”
"Let go of the old man!" There was a hint of anger on the face of the humble man.
After the old man learned Wang Xiaoyi's identity, he was very panicked, and now he was grabbed by the back of his neck, his breathing was a little uneven, and he could only plead in a hoarse voice: "It's the villain who is not good, he collided with the uncle!" Please spare your life! ”
"Humph! Old thing, count yourself as acquaintances! As soon as the attendant's hand was scattered, the old man's face hit the ground directly.
"You ...... You ......"
Seeing that the simple man was still entangled, Wang Xiaoyi was upset for a while, and said to his two followers: "This kid is not long-sighted, teach me a good lesson!" ”
"Come on!" The two attendants smiled wickedly and rushed towards the simple man, and immediately punched and kicked him.
Although this simple man is burly, Wang Xiaoyi's two followers are acquired martial artists and know some martial arts moves.
Soon, the man was beaten and his nose and face were swollen.
Looking at the Han who was beaten and had no power to fight back, the arrogance of the two followers became more and more intense.
"It's uneven, isn't it?"
"Against me, huh?"
"Today, you have to beat your parents so that they don't know you!"
Wang Xiaoyi stepped forward, slapped Han Han on the back of the head, and then pressed his face to the ground.
Although the people who had gathered around before had dispersed, they did not go far, and when they saw this scene, no one stood up, but a few people were secretly happy in their hearts.
"Luckily, I was fast! Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it for this lord of the Hou Mansion to sprinkle his anger on me! ”
"It's good that it's not the same as that stupid big one!"
Wang Xiaoyi pressed Han Han's neck and asked, "Have you taken it?"
"I ...... No...... No...... Help! Han Han was a little slurred, but there was clearly no compromise.
"Not convinced? Keep calling me! He stood up and handed the man over to two of his henchmen.
As if he had discovered something more interesting, he did not pay any further attention to the old man and the good man, but walked down the street to the south, and where he passed, everyone retreated, for fear that he would provoke the master.
Wang Xiaoyi walked to a stall and stopped, the seller was a woman, she was bowing her head and dough, and did not notice Wang Xiaoyi's arrival.
"Let's have a pancake." Wang Xiaoyi said.
"Okay! Uncle, what kind of flavor do you want, we have chopped green onions, salt, green sugar, ......" The woman stopped what she was doing, and began to prepare as she responded, but the moment she raised her head, the whole person froze.
"Long time no see...... Mrs. Lu. A gloomy smile appeared at the corner of Wang Xiaoyi's mouth.
It was getting late, the spring night came early, and the Lu family's hut had already lit an oil lamp.
Xu Xiang stretched his waist, feeling hungry in his stomach, Qianqian was already asleep on the bed, and Lu Tianyao needed more rest and fell asleep.
Regardless of Lu Tianyao's scurvy, whether it can be cured by supplementing more vitamin C can be done, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
Although Yang Dianfeng bought the things back, Xu Xiang had no intention of leaving, so he could only wait on the sidelines.
Xu Xiang thought that after buying these things, he naturally had to tell Mrs. Lu to let Lu Tianyao eat these foods every day, so as to supplement vitamin C, and not fall short because he was reluctant to eat them.
However, at this time, Mrs. Lu must have come back, but now she hasn't come back, maybe something happened!
Dinner was naturally made after Mrs. Lu came back, and he planned to find a way to get rid of the spies in the East China Sea and go to Ningzhou after dinner.
"Xu Yi."
"Your Highness! What do you command? Xu Yi hurriedly stepped forward.
"You go to the place where Mrs. Lu came out of the stall to find it, she hasn't gone home at this time, if you meet her, you can also help collect the stall and push the car."
Xu Yi left in response.
After a long time, the stomach was already growling, and there was still no trace of Mrs. Lu and Xu Yi.
"It's been a long time since I've cooked!" Xu Xiang is already very hungry, can't he keep waiting, right?
"Lao Yang, you go pick up some firewood, get ready, I'll cook!" I'm so hungry! ”
Hearing that Xu Xiang was going to cook, Yang Dianfeng was shocked and hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, don't do it!"
Let His Royal Highness the Prince go down to cook, how dare he, a subordinate, "Since His Highness is hungry, then I'll go and get food!" ”
"You're going to get it?" Xu Xiang gave him a blank look, Yang Dianfeng had never cooked, and when he was in Proton Mansion before, he was specially made by a cooking maid.
These days, when I'm in Proton Mansion, it's all about food made with the finest ingredients. However, no matter how good the ingredients are, the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the eyes of others are nothing more than Erer for Xu Xiang.
So, he plans to do it himself.
Yang Dianfeng was speechless, he really didn't know how to cook, but he couldn't let His Highness cook, so he said: "Your Highness, why don't I go to the shop to buy some food, you wait a while." ”
"You don't have to go!" Xu Xiang refused, the food in the market must not be good, and the time to walk from Pozi Street to the food selling place was enough for him to cook the meal.
"......"
"Old Yang, there's nothing to do. If I still think of myself as a prince, stretch out my hands and open my mouth, and let you do everything, then how can I recover my great Chu rivers and mountains? Xu Xiang looked at him and said seriously.
"Your Highness......" Yang Dianfeng's eyes were a little moist, he felt that since his master woke up, he was completely different from the previous Highness, no longer so weak, he was also methodical, and he was becoming more and more wise.
"Ahem......" Lu Tianyao woke up at this time, and his weak body let out a few coughs to interrupt the conversation between the master and servant.
"Are you awake?"
"Your Highness...... The villain is really rude, talking to His Highness and actually falling asleep! Lu Tianyao slammed his head against the bed board in panic.
"It doesn't matter." Xu Xiang waved his hand indifferently.
"Madame!" Lu Tianyao didn't see Mrs. Lu in the house, thinking that she was cooking outside, thinking that His Highness would come to his house and ask Mrs. to cook some delicious food, so he raised his head and shouted outside the house.
"Brother Lu, Mrs. Lu hasn't returned yet." Yang Dianfeng said to him.
A look of confusion appeared on Lu Tianyao's face, he looked a little anxious, struggling to get up, but his legs couldn't move anymore and failed.
"Hey, don't move! Don't worry yet, I've already asked Xu Yi to find her. Xu Xiang hurriedly stopped him and motioned for him to lie down.
Lu Tianyao felt a little relieved, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”
