Ning Nan lowered his eyes, stood for a while, and then strode out of the front of Cao's house and went to the wing where Ji Xianzhi lived. At that time, Biyun had already taken Xiao Jique to freshen up, and was about to send her to her husband to study, when she saw the little master standing outside their yard, waiting for someone.

Bi Yun knew that he was here to find Ji Xianzhi, so she called into the house and said, "Bo Yuan! The lord is here. ”

There was a hurried response from the house, and I saw Ji Xianzhi stacking a stack of quilts, pushed open the door, and put it into the small jar in front of the door, "Why did the lord come so early?" ”

"Lord Princess, I thought I wouldn't see you today!" When the little boy saw Ning Nan's worries, he also turned his head with joy and said with a smile.

Bi Yun frowned and said sternly, "Nonsense, it's getting bigger and smaller." ”

The little boy shrank his neck, hid in Biyun's arms, and whispered, "My mother has murdered me every time, it's really terrible." ”

"I'm afraid I'm still hiding in your mother's arms?" Ji Xianzhi walked down the steps with a smile, rubbed Ji Que's fluffy little head, and said dotingly.

Then, he turned around and saluted Ning Nan worriedly, "The finch is used to playing, it is the slave who has not disciplined it well, and I hope that the lord Haihan will be good." ”

Ning Nan didn't care, waved his hand, his face that had been cold in the past, but today he raised the corners of his mouth slightly for some reason, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Ji Xianzhi was surprised at first, and then quickly calmed down the surprise in his heart and became accustomed to it. Since the Jiang girl married into the Hou Mansion, the lord is no longer the same as before, he will smile for a long time, and he will no longer be gloomy every day. He is really happy for him, but sometimes he is worried, if this Jiang girl is not a good person, if she does anything to the lord because of her brother in the future, then the lord...

"Uncle Ji, I couldn't go to Chengtaishou Mansion yesterday, and today Zhao Fuyin is waiting in Dongyun Lane to go together, see that the time is almost the agreed time, we need to hurry." Ning Nan looked up at the sky, his face became serious, and said with Ji Xianzhi.

Ji Xianzhi nodded, patted the dust on his body, Bi Yun brought him a robe at this time, tied it for him, and gently instructed, "Be careful, protect the lord, protect yourself." ”

Ji Xianzhi smiled at her tenderly, "Got it, madam,"

Aunt Biyun's old face flushed, patted him on the shoulder, and snorted, "you." When the words fell, she turned around and left the small courtyard with Ji Que.

Ning Nan looked at the two of them with a little envy, and only after Ji Xianzhi straightened out his robe and walked out of the courtyard did he retract his gaze and return to his usual unsmiling appearance.

Ji Xianzhi followed behind and asked with concern, "The lord came so early, the slave never ordered anyone to cook, and the lord didn't eat breakfast, but he felt uncomfortable in his spleen and stomach?" ”

"Don't worry, presumably Zhao Fu also came out of the house before dawn, waiting in the streets, I can eat a bowl of noodles on the street with him." Ning Nan replied casually.

Ji Xianzhi frowned slightly, knowing that Ning Nan wanted to use Zhao Fu for his own use, but he was still worried about what was wrong with this, so he advised, "The lord must not relax his vigilance, then Zhao Fu may be inappropriate, yesterday Qiancheng, the head of the Wuling Jing Governor's Guard, rescued Zhao Fu's wife and children, and he didn't make any effort, and he could be rescued so easily, so there must be something strange about it." ”

Ning Nan condensed in his worried eyes and said, "I know, but I'm afraid that Zhao Fu doesn't know about it, if it wasn't for Madame to find him from the crowd yesterday, I'm afraid he won't stop." Looking at his eagerness, it didn't seem like it was pretending. Besides, without my command to Jing Duwei, his wife and children would indeed not be able to be rescued. Unless, on purpose, someone would do so, and lead me to find out the truth. ”

"Deliberately?" Ji Xianzhi was suspicious, and suddenly realized, "The lord is saying that someone is using Zhao Fu and wants the lord to check Zuo Feng Yi Dou's family?" ”

"Not really." Ning Nan said lightly. The pace of his feet quickened, and he walked towards the outside of the post house.

And in Dongyun Lane, Zhao Fu was indeed waiting there for a long time as Ning Nan said and Ji Xian came on horse, he immediately bent down and saluted and said respectfully, "Meet the Marquis of Huaiyin." ”

Ning Nan sat on top of the high horse, looked at him condescendingly, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao doesn't need to be polite. ”

Zhao Fu didn't say much, stepped on the horse mat, turned over, grabbed the reins and said, "Master Hou first, please." ”

Ning Nan nodded in favor, turned the horse's head, and ran towards the Taishou Mansion with Zhao Fu.

"Brother Zhao must have waited for a long time, can you eat breakfast? Why don't you go to the alley with me and have a bowl of pasta first? Ning Nan worriedly faced the path, facing the wind, raised his voice slightly and asked Zhao Fu.

"Is Hou Ye willing to eat noodles on the street?" Zhao Fu was a little surprised, turned his head sideways and glanced at Ning Nan, then continued to hold the reins, looked in the direction and rushed forward.

"Brother Zhao's words, Ning didn't understand it a little." Ning Nan hooked his lips and smiled, "Isn't it possible that princes and generals can't eat the food of folk alleys?" Ning knew what Brother Zhao meant, but questioned how I was willing to succumb to the breakfast with you as a child of the royal family. Ning invites guests, does not look at his identity, if he has similar interests, he is a person who can be friends, or if he has the same interests, he will not take into account others, and he can intersect. In life, why should you think so much? ”

Zhao Fu choked at his words, his face was ashamed, knowing that Ning Nan could see through his mind at a glance. knew that he was tempting, testing whether Ning Nanwei was using him.

Ning Nan Wei also did not hide it, and pointed out that the two of them got together because of their respective interests, and the reason why Ning Nan was willing to deign to be with him was just because he felt that during this time period, he was a person who could be friends.

Ning Nan believed him, believed that he had no bad intentions, believed what he said, and at the same time warned him not to lie to him, otherwise no one could predict what the end would be.

Zhao Fu thought about the stakes clearly, and he no longer doubted anything. At least he was sure that in this rumor, the cruel and cunning Marquis of Huaiyin was not necessarily true, and he was also a righteous gentleman.

Again, the rumors stop at the wise.

If he continues to be suspicious, then he is stupid and has killed himself.

Ning Nan is worried that Zhao Fu is not suspicious, and indeed the words of the imperial power and nobles are not credible.

"Since Master Hou has graciously invited, how can Zhao refuse it?" Zhao Fu answered, raised his whip and struck at the horse, and laughed lightly.

The two had a meal together, which was considered an official alliance.

At the end of the hour, the gate of the Taishou Mansion was opened, and outside the courtyard, there were two fierce and vicious soldiers, holding swords to guard the door of the mansion.

Ning Nan got off the horse, glanced at the empty mansion, carried the hem of his clothes, and walked up the stone steps paved with white stone in a straight manner. picked up the drumstick placed on the drum stand in front of the house, and struck the drum surface vigorously, with a grim face. Ji Xianzhi and Zhao Fu stood behind him together, also with serious faces.

"Bold! Who's drumming?! The government newspaper hall screamed, came out from the inside, and looked out of the door with his head held high and squinted eyes. Seeing that there was a man standing outside in a gorgeous dress, a white jade crown, and a majestic son holding a drumstick and beating the drum hard, the newspaper hall saw the person's face clearly, and immediately remembered the scene where Taishou came to greet this person in person a few days ago, so he was so frightened that his legs trembled, his face was pale and he knelt down, and shouted, "Huaiyin Hou Ankang!" Slave to meet the Marquis of Huaiyin! ”

Ning Nanwei ignored this person and continued to beat the drum, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

"How did Master Hou beat this drum of injustice? But what's the matter? If you have something to tell my family directly, you can do it..."The newspaper hall Xiaoyanei knelt on the ground for a long time, and saw that Ning Nanwei was still beating the drum, and he had no intention of stopping, so he hurriedly put on a smile and asked.

"What? Do you need me to find it myself? Ning Nanwu continued to beat the drum, staring at him with a pair of eyes like falling ice, and his tone gradually became unkind.

Before the newspaper hall could say anything, an angry roar came from inside the palace, "Who is so presumptuous and making noise outside? Chen Er, you don't want to die, let him beat? Taishou is approving the official document at the moment, if you disturb him, your scolding is indispensable! ”

Zhao Fu heard it, and the roar was from Zhang Heng, the most relied on master by Sun Chi's side.

I saw a middle-aged man with a fat intestine and a greasy face shaking his fat body and stepping out of the threshold and looking at the drum outside the house. The first thing Zhang Heng saw at first sight was Zhao Fu holding a sharp sword and his face full of anger, so he was annoyed, and he no longer looked carefully at who was standing next to him, so he said angrily at Zhao Fu, "Zhao Fu? What are you beating the drum of injustice when you come here early in the morning? Don't want to die? ”

"Master Zhang misunderstood Zhao, and it wasn't the one who beat the drum to voice grievances." Zhao Fu wrapped his arms, his eyes were sarcastic, and with a glance of his eyes, he drew Zhang Heng's gaze towards Ning Nan.

Zhang Heng was stunned, thinking about who gave Zhao Fu such a big courage, and when he looked in the corner, he saw the Marquis of Huaiyin wearing a dark robe and brocade robe, standing in front of the mansion with his hands in his hands, and looking at him with frosty eyes. The chill almost froze him instantly.

"Master Hou? You..."Zhang Heng subconsciously shouted, his eyes widened, and then he thought of his words, and when he climbed behind him, he knelt down with an ordinary sound, and bowed down, "The lower official has seen the Marquis of Huaiyin." ”

"In addition to the newspaper hall in your Taishou Mansion, your master, there is a third person who came to ask Sun Chi who is beating the drum and complaining about grievances?" Ji Xianzhi didn't wait for Ning Nan to speak up, so he stepped forward and said sarcastically to Zhang Heng unceremoniously.

Zhang Heng's heart trembled, he kowtowed to the ground twice, and said with an embarrassed but polite smile, "Master Hou forgives the sin, but the lower official doesn't know it, and the lower official will report to the Taishou." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Heng was about to get up and retreat, but he heard Ji Xianzhi snort coldly, "Kneel, who allows you to get up?" ”

That Zhang Heng was immediately frightened and lay on the ground, and he didn't dare to move at will, "Master Hou forgives you!" ”

"You, come to knock for Ben Hou, Ben Hou wants to take a look, how big is the county guard of Wuling? Yesterday, the official government visited, the private government visited and refused to see, and today the drum of grievances sounded for a long time and there was no one to see. The people in the house are not allowed to report that the person waiting outside the door is Ben Hou, and let Ben Hou see when he will be promoted to the court for interrogation? Ning Nan slowly paced to the door, pointed to the newspaper hall and whispered, the cold tone obviously reached the peak.

Na Yanai shuddered at first, and then hurriedly kowtowed, "No." ”
