CHAPTER II. 5

Maybe the prince in the barracks today is fake, so really, he should have entered the city a long time ago, so the Beixuan army entered the city at this time to save the king of Beixuan. "It's broken." Qian Wanqing hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out, and his shoes ran off without realizing it.

Li Si is monk of the second battle was confused, and he also ran hurriedly behind, shouting: "Lord Qian, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Shoes, shoes fell off. ”

Qian Wanqing turned back, picked up his shoes and put them on, and said to the servant: "Prepare the horse, also, tell the kitchen to make a table of good dishes and send it to the prison, immediately, immediately, what are you doing standing there?" "He was so anxious that he almost kicked the servant's ass." Lord Li, the more troops you mobilize in the city, the better. ”

"What are you doing with the transfer of troops so late?" Li Si asked suspiciously. "Don't ask anything, if you want to live, do as I say." Qian Wanqing looked at him and said earnestly, "Yes." Li Si didn't ask anymore and took the order.

In the prison, Shangguan Beitang and Hu Shang sat on the ground and had no sleep all night. Shangguan Beitang said with a smile: "Brother Hu, I didn't expect you and I to be in such prison!" What a world of impermanence! It's this king who has troubled you. ”

"Why did the prince say that if I hadn't stopped you from revealing your identity, you wouldn't have spent the night in this prison. If you say that it is burdensome, it should be that I am burdened by you. Hu Shang also said with a smile.

"No, after all, this king should thank you, if you hadn't stopped him, this king probably would never have known what he Qian Wanqing did while eating the court money. Do you know what this king heard in this prison tonight? ”

Hu Shang thought about it and said: "I don't know. "Thirteen thousand two hundred and eighty-five shouts." Shangguan Beitang closed his eyes and sighed.

The two were silent.

After a long time, there was a panicked footstep in the corridor of the prison. A fat body swayed and ran over. Stopped at the door of the cell and didn't have time to catch his breath, and when he saw Shangguan Beitang, he knelt down and said: "Xiaguan Qian Wanqing greets the king of Beixuan, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

"What are you doing here, Lord Qian? I'm not the king of the North Spin. Shangguan Beitang pretended to be confused and said. Qian Wanqing thought that he was angry, and said: "Xia Guan has eyes and ignores Mount Tai and collided with the prince, and asks the prince to forgive him." He kowtowed again.

"What are you doing, sir? The little one is really not a prince, I just passed by the precious land, and I just heard that the king of Beixuan will come to suppress the bandits recently, so I pretended to be to save face, the villain knows that it is wrong, you can punish it however you want, and the small one will compensate the adult. Shangguan Beitang's acting skills are superb, and he is about to kneel down when he speaks.

"No, no, no, the prince can't kneel! It's really a pain in the run. Quick, open the door. Qian Wanqing hurriedly instructed the jailer. After the jailer opened the door, he hurriedly ran in to help Shangguan Beitang, who was about to kneel on the ground, and said in horror: "This can't be helped, it can't be helped!" ”

"Lord Wang, this place is damp and dark, it's not a place for you to stay, let's go outside, I've already asked someone to prepare the house." Qian Wanqing invited.

"No, no, the villain disturbed the grain collection, and pretended to be the king of the north, everything is a felony, how can you get out. The villain had already written to his family asking them to come and deliver the silver. After the adult received the silver, he paid off the villain's crime, and the villain will naturally be released from prison, Lord Qian rest assured, although I am a little debauched on weekdays, I still understand the principle of one person doing things and one person being the one. Shangguan Beitang said earnestly that he was willing to be punished.

Qian Wanqing smiled awkwardly: "Where is the prince, how dare the lower officials accept the prince's silver." How can it be said that the lower official is also the prefect of a state, and the parents of the people are officials, how can they indiscriminately collect cashiers. ”

"Lord Qian, didn't the villain say it, the villain is not the king of Beixuan, the villain's surname is Bai Mingxiang, and he is from Huaiyang. You have to say that I am the king of Beixuan, it seems that I have to have a villain's head. Hey, please spare my life, my family has three generations of single inheritance, and I am such a lone seedling. How can my parents live! Master Qian, you can be merciful and merciful to spare my life, you can rest assured, as long as you let me go, I am willing to give all my family property to you. Shangguan Beitang also begged bitterly.

Qian Wanqing saw that this person didn't recognize whether he was alive or dead, and he was confused at the moment. He wasn't sure if this person was the King of Beixuan, and he didn't dare to dispose of them. At this time, someone reported that the meal was ready. What to do, now it is better to believe it than to believe it!

So Qian Wanqing hurriedly called and brought it up and said, "Lord Wang, you're hungry, I'll ask someone to prepare something to eat, hurry up and eat some!" "Lord Qian, this is for the prince, and the villain doesn't dare to eat it."

"No, no, no, whether you are the king of Beixuan or not, this meal is prepared for the two of you." Qian Wanqing said with a smile. "Really?" Shangguan Beitang will be skeptical. "Really, you two can eat with confidence!"

Seeing Qian Wanqing say this. Shangguan Beitang also felt a little hungry, stepped forward to look at it and said, "It's so rich, it seems that Lord Qian is still going to send the two of me on the road, Brother Hu!" Or are you right, money is not everything, even if you have a lot of money, you can't buy back the lives of you and me. ”

"That's true, but it's better for us to be a hungry ghost than a hungry ghost on the road!" Hu Shang also said. "That's that, King Beixuan, I'm sorry, today I pretended to be your identity and didn't say that I would eat your meal now, and you took this meal as a charity for my two brothers." Shangguan Beitang made another drama.

After that, Shangguan Beitang and Hu Shang sat down at the table and ate. Shangguan Beitang looked at Qian Wanqing, who was standing respectfully, and said, "My lord, why don't you eat together." "The lower officials don't dare." Qian Wanqing accompanied him with a smile. "Lord Qian, you really misunderstood, I'm really not the king of Beixuan."

"Forget it, believe it or not, anyway, the two of us will die soon, and we will not be charged with this crime of playing with the court officials." Hu Shang said after taking a bite of meat. "Yes, then let's eat more, so as not to starve on the way. Come, Brother Hu, drink and drink. Shangguan Beitang raised his glass.

Just as they were eating deliciously, a soldier hurriedly ran in: "My lord, Lord Qian, it's not good." "What's the matter, panic?" Qian Wanqing asked. "A distinguished guest came to the palace and said he wanted to see you." The soldier hurriedly said. "What a distinguished guest." "He claims to be the King of the North Spin." "What?" Qian Wanqing almost fainted when he heard this. Fortunately, the soldier next to him helped quickly.

Shangguan Beitang smiled and said, "Brother Hu, the main lord is here, it seems that we should be on our way." ”

"You, you, are you the king of the North Vortex after all?" Qian Wanqing asked after stabilizing his mood. "My lord, I said I am, you say I'm fake, I say I'm not you and I have to say I am, and now I don't even know if I'm not. True and false false and true, you say yes, you say no, you don't! Shangguan Beitang pretended to be drunk and said.

"Okay, since you're not, then the official won't keep you." Qian Wanqing's face changed and said, "I dare to tease this official and deal with the two of them cleanly, so as to save it from being an eyesore." "No, Lord Qian, as long as you spare my life, I am willing to give away all the tens of thousands of wealth." Shangguan Beitang Six Gods pleaded. "Hmph, keep your money and give it to Lord Yama!" Qian Wanqing was also angry.

Qian Wanqing can be regarded as busy enough, he ran all the way to the prison and found nothing, and now he is running all the way to the mansion. Before you know it, the sun rises obliquely from the east, and red clouds shine out.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw hundreds of silver-armored spear soldiers, passing through these people before he arrived at the king of Beixuan, and he didn't have time to look at it and bowed his head: "Qian Wanqing, the prefect of Dongchuan, visited the king of Beixuan, and the prince is a thousand years old. ”

"Well, get up!" King Beixuan replied. Qian Wanqing felt that this voice was a little familiar, and when he raised his eyes, he was eight feet tall and majestic. No matter how you look at it, the person who looks like a scholar looks like the king of the North Circle. Sure enough, that bastard kid was playing tricks on him.

King Beixuan looked at him and said, "I heard that Lord Qian has a good way of governing Dongchuan, so this official has come to take a look." The tax and grain depot will not be checked by the king, and the main reason for the governance of a place is whether the people live comfortably and peacefully, and have no worries about food and clothing, does Lord Qian think I am right? ”

"The prince is reasonable, as the parent official of the Dongchuan prefect, he always cares about the peace of the people! It's just that in recent years, natural disasters have continued, and the harvest has been poor year after year, and the people of Dongchuan are miserable! This official is ashamed of the court and the people! Qian Wanqing looked guilty.

As soon as Qian Wanqing's words fell, he heard a sneer. Seeing that it was Zheng Yi behind the Beixuan Dynasty, he asked, "Lord Qian cares about the people, does Lord Zheng have any objections?" ”

"The lower officials have no objections, and the lower officials deeply admire Lord Qian for loving the people." Zheng Yi replied. "Well, this king has heard that Lord Qian has also made great achievements in the management of prisons, why don't we go to the prison to inspect it?" The King of the North Swirl nodded and said.

"Lord Wang, the prison is a filthy and dark place, how can the prince's daughter go?" Qian Wanqing hurriedly stopped, and then said: "The lower officials and others have prepared a banquet for the prince, why don't you go to eat first?" ”

"You can eat at any time, could it be that Lord Qian manages the prison too well and is afraid that this king will not be able to learn from it, don't worry, this king is just going to take a look, Lord Zheng, please lead the way!" The King of the North Swirl said and walked away.

"Yes, Lord Wang, please." Zheng Yi stepped forward and said. Qian Wanqing had to follow behind with fear.

Entering the prison, Zheng Yi brought the king of Beixuan directly to the cell of Shangguan Beitang, and when everyone was puzzled, Zheng Yi asked someone to open the prison door and bowed with An Hai.

Qian Wanqing was completely panicked, standing in place and not knowing whether to kneel or not.

Shangguan Beitang looked at everyone and said, "Get up!" He looked at Qian Wanqing again and teased: "Lord Qian, Lord Qian? The villain tied up these two people who were going to kill me, you have no objection, right? Qian Wanqing looked at the two tied soldiers in the cell, and knew that he could not escape the blame, "Hey" knelt down and said: "The prince forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin!" ”

At this moment, Li Si ran in to look at Qian Wanqing, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Lord Qian, everyone has been transferred, what are we going to do?" ”

"Bold Li Si, don't you kneel when you see the King of Beixuan?" Zheng Yi let out a snort. Li Si looked at Shangguan Beitang, lay on the ground with weak legs and said, "Xiaguan see the prince!" ”
