Volume 3 Bao Ling Prefecture Chapter 26 The Old City Lord Quan Yuren
Mu Chen took Guo Erniu and Qi Luna out of the council, and the three of them returned to the Garden Building in the carriage they came, along the way Guo Erniu always wanted to try to ask what was going on, but Mu Chen and Qi Luna were silent, so he didn't dare to speak.
After entering the garden building, Mu Chen instructed the chief manager not to see anyone and took them back to his room.
"Erniu, I know that you are dissatisfied and resentful, but you live in a human society, you must choose human methods to deal with disputes, and you can't solve problems on impulse. It's me who underestimated Village Chief Zhao, he actually had the courage to retract his confession, we can't prove that the officials who took away the wings were appointed by Han Keen, and if they continue to stay there, they can only watch him clear his name, and there is nothing he can do. But don't worry, I'll help you get justice. ”
"Lord Mu Chen, I believe in you, thank you. ”
"Go back to your room, I still have some things to think about. Qi Luna went back to the room, and Guo Erniu went to the courtyard to be alone in a daze.
In the evening, Mo Cheng took the two sisters back to the garden building, and after the three of them left the council, they walked around the nearby storefronts and bought a lot of things, and as soon as they entered the gate, they saw Guo Erniu sitting in the courtyard, and Chunyue ran over happily with the new clothes he bought for him, but as soon as he arrived, he found that he looked lonely, and his eyes lacked the vitality of his daily life.
"Erniu, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister Satsuki, we... We lost..."Guo Erniu hugged Chunyue and cried aggrievedly.
Mo Cheng and Jia Yue dropped the items in their hands and hurriedly walked over to them, comforting them and asking about the situation.
Guo Erniu told them about Zhao Hong's confession, Jia Yue suppressed her anger and pretended to be calm and said, "Don't worry, Mu Chen must have a way to help you avenge." After finishing speaking, he stopped Chunyue, who was about to go upstairs, and asked her not to disturb Mu Chen, which would only increase his troubles.
Wei Gonglu left the council and ran to the garden building, and met the attendant who delivered the news halfway, and learned that Mu Chen had turned back to the house when he didn't see the guests, and in the face of the discord plan that was about to succeed, the unwillingness in his heart was not inferior to Guo Erniu.
The full name De returned to the study in a daze, he knew in his heart that the scene in the inquisition hall must have been done by Lao Chen, if it weren't for Qi Luna, he wouldn't have helped Han Cohen, so even if his heart was tormented, in the face of justice and love, he still chose the latter.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, except for Han Cohen, who deserves it, the other three parties are all unable to sleep, in order to seek the truth too lightly against the enemy, in order to seek profit in a chess move, in order to protect the lover's betrayal of faith, each has a plan but all of them have nothing.
At dawn in the next day, the sky was just slightly bright, and the city was peaceful, except for the occasional rooster and dog barking, everyone was still asleep in the quiet streets, and the coming busyness followed by the gradually brighter sunlight was stepping up to wake up the city.
The morning sun gradually rose, and five large goshawks flew in the northeast sky, and they rushed towards the square of the noble council, and when they reached the sky, they kept circling, and the guards below shouted warnings, and a large number of soldiers poured out of the council, lined up to meet the enemy.
The centurion in charge of the patrol squinted his eyes against the light and observed, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be someone riding on the goshawk, so he ordered to give way to the open space, raised his head and shouted: "It is forbidden to ride demonic beasts in the sky above the Homeland City, land immediately for interrogation, otherwise you will use crossbow arrows to attack." As soon as the words fell, the ballista was in place, and the arrows were rotating with the target.
The goshawk descended slowly, landing in the open space surrounded by guards, and several sergeants in the same clothes as the centurion came down from above, they were all dressed in red clothes and trousers, and their upper bodies were covered with blue steel armor wrapped in fur, and the wolf's head pattern was embroidered with gold thread on their chests.
The old man, with gray hair and white beard, and his magnificence was magnificent, and he simply straightened his clothes and strode towards the council, and several sergeants followed behind him with sabers in hand, ignoring the guards present.
"Old... Old city lord, why are you here, give way, give way. When the centurion saw Quan Yuren, he was shocked and hurried to catch up and lead the way.
"Go and get me Chen You. Quan Yuren said.
The commotion in the square caused concern in the chamber, and the officers and men and attendants stationed there got up one after another, the men took up their weapons and prepared to defend themselves against the invasion, and the women gathered together and moved to the basement of the inner courtyard.
Everyone saw Quan Yuren walking towards them in a panic, the tense atmosphere froze immediately, the panicked expression gradually calmed down, the helplessness turned into a stop to salute, the temporary chaos also became orderly, everyone returned to their posts, and everything returned to normal.
Quan Yuren didn't enter the inner courtyard, he went to the living room with his men, and after sitting down, he picked up the teacup and drank a few sips, he received the news from Chen You, and after arranging the affairs of the Emperor Yang Capital, he brought a few mercenaries with riding mounts in the royal guard to come here, and the starry night never stopped.
The centurion brought Chen You according to the order, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and crawled towards Quan Yuren, with old tears in his eyes, and kept muttering that he did not take care of the young master and betrayed the trust of the old city lord.
Quan Yuren ordered everyone to leave, closed the door tightly, and no one was allowed to enter, and then he stepped forward to pick up Chen You, and couldn't wait to ask: "What happened, where is Mu Chen now?"
Chen You wiped away his tears, calmed his emotions, told him everything that had happened recently, and kept sobbing when he talked about what happened to Quan Mingde in Hongshou Hotel, taking the fault on himself, and telling Wei Gonglu's actions and confessions, gritting his teeth, resenting himself for not being able to stop it.
"I don't blame you, I don't blame you. How's Mingde going?"
"Back to the master, the young master locked himself in the study all day long, and his will was depressed, if it weren't for the patriarch, he wouldn't have participated in Han Keen's case, the old slave really couldn't make the young master regain his strength, and I hope that the master will come forward in person..."
"What about Mu Chen, what about them, they didn't do anything after you designed it?" Quan Yuren interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"The old slave arranged in the garden building to be reciprocated, and there was no action. ”
"Where's Wei Gonglu?"
Wei Gonglu is cunning, he can't put eyeliner around him, and the spies on the periphery can only wander around his mansion, but he hasn't gone out since he returned to his mansion. ”
"Go to the market to collect three or four sides, do it secretly, don't let people find traces. Find a poor man, give more money, give them the wings, pretend to be an official who forcibly confiscated him, and then let him be captured by the garrison department, and lead the matter to Han Cohen. ”
"Master, what do you mean by this, you can't protect Han Cohen?"
"Do you think you can keep it? I have been dealing with Mu Chen for nearly thirty years, and I have never seen anyone take anything away from him, and Han Cohen is the same, he can't keep it, so make a reason and return it to him. ”
"How do you explain to Prince Keli?
"Needless to say, what should be discarded. ”
"Yes, are you going to see the young master?"
"I don't have time to see him, you go and prepare for the car first, bring my official uniform, I want to go to the garden building to see Mu Chen." Then inform all the nobles in the state to greet Mu Chen in the lobby of the council tonight and invite them to dress up to attend. There is also a clean courtyard in the city for Mu Chen's use, and we can't let him continue to live in the garden building, which is not good for us. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Wait, call Mingde, come with me to pick up Mu Chen. ”
"It's... The old slave is afraid..."
"Someone. The royal guards at the gate entered in response, and Quan Yuren ordered: "You go with him to bring the young city lord, and if there is resistance, you are allowed to use force." ”
After ordering this, Quan Yuren walked out of the living room, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he met Wei Rou, who rushed to hear the news, so his fierce face instantly became kind and kind, and asked kindly: "Wei Rou, you got up so early, were you disturbed by me?"
"Father, when did you arrive, why did you bother me, I didn't come to see me at the first time, and I hope my father will forgive me. Wei Rou saluted as she spoke.
"As soon as I arrived, I was stopped by this old fellow, who was talking about things. Chen You, you don't need to serve this, go down. Chen You left with a few employees.
"Father, I haven't seen you for three years, you are in good health, I heard that you came on a flying mount?"
"Ahem... That Chen You said that there was a big incident in the city, and asked me to come back quickly to preside over the overall situation, and I told him that there would be no accident if there was an imperial assistant eunuch, but he didn't listen, and urged me one after another, so I didn't rush here. ”
"Father, my uncle..."
"I also want to thank you and your uncle for keeping Mu Chen for me, although there are some misunderstandings between him and Mingde, but they are all trivial things, it just so happens that you are here, send someone to invite your uncle to the Garden Building, I am about to go, I and Lord Wei together, I will be able to solve these misunderstandings." ”
"Okay, then I won't disturb my father, and immediately arrange for someone to invite my uncle. ”
As soon as Wei Rou left, Quanmingde was brought over by the guards, although his expression was reluctant, he still knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and after getting up, he asked, "Father, why are you here?"
"Go change into the silver thread eagle official robe, and follow me to the garden building to ask Mu Chen for his guilt. ”
"I... I'm not going, he's one..."
"Someone came, tied him up, removed him from the position of acting city lord, and was no longer allowed to participate in the political affairs of Baoling Prefecture, and sent back to Diyang Capital tomorrow. ”
"Father, I..."
"Master, master, the young master doesn't mean that, the old slave will wait for you to change your clothes first, and the young master will go to change his official robe immediately. Chen You hurriedly explained, taking advantage of the gap when Quan Yuren shook his hand and left, he whispered to Quan Mingde: "Think about the Patriarch." ”
"Let go, let go, I'm going back to change my clothes. In desperation, the full name of De shouted loudly.
Quan Yuren raised his hand and signaled, the guards let go of him, and the father and son went in two directions, changing their clothes.
Wei Gonglu received the news at the same time that Quan Yuren entered the meeting room, and wave after wave of internal responses reported to him what was happening in the council from time to time, and it was not until the attendants sent by Wei Rou that he hurriedly got up to change his official robe, and wanted to reach the garden building before Quan Yuren, talk to Mu Chen first, and make sure that everything went according to his plan.
