Chapter 623: Asking to see the city lord, tempting him from the outside
In the inner hall of the city lord's mansion, the city lord Xu Tianjiao was still wearing a grimace mask, he was reclining on a rattan chair to watch Huang Ting, eating green peaches, and there was a maid on the left and right sides shaking a fan and holding soup. Looking at the posture, this person is comfortable and comfortable, and he lives a very chic life, and he is more emperor than the emperor.
After a while, his master came to him and whispered: "Lord Qiyu, just now my subordinates found that the two unreasonable women seemed to have a little conflict with a man, and the specific contradiction was not clear to the subordinates, and then they ran away crying.
The man was anxious and kept explaining. Judging by the situation, they should have reconciled at this time. Also, according to the investigation of his subordinates, these two women are not from our Hara Tan City, and they seem to be from outside. ”
"Of course they are not locals, and the official has also discovered this, we can't have such beautiful women here, I still don't know the situation, they should happen to be passing by here. If it weren't for the fact that they seemed to have a good heart, if they wanted to stand up for those so-called unjust, false and wrongful cases, the official would have cleared them a long time ago.
These two women are really big-chested and brainless, they look so good-looking in vain, and they run out to accuse them without understanding anything. According to this official, they are only suitable for staying at home and serving men, and they are not suitable for going out to do errands, hum. Okay, I know about this, you go down first. The lord waved his hand and let the master book retreat.
It turned out that Wang Jingyan and her two daughters suddenly pretended to be the complainants, and after Xu Tianjiao found some clues, she specially sent people to secretly follow up and investigate the situation.
Listening to the words of the city lord, the lord's face twitched for a while, and he seemed to have an extreme headache with the way this city lord spoke.
But it was said that Wang Mang was the three of them, and after Wang Mang persuaded Wang Jingyan and the two daughters, the three of them turned around and returned to the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Wang Mang handed the worship note he had written earlier to a guard at the door, and said: "This eldest brother, the three of me have been instructed to come to meet Xu Tianjiao, Lord Xu Tianjiao, this is my worship sticker, and I also ask the eldest brother to give me one or two." ”
The guard casually glanced at the sticker in his hand and asked lightly; "Mentored? Who's the guide? What is the origin. ”
Wang Mang replied: "I didn't tell me the origin of that person's name, I only said that the three of us would come here to see the city lord, and said that the city lord must know who he is." ”
"Hmph, gibberish." The guard threw the sticker to Wang Mang, and said coldly: "Boy, if you want to see the city lord, just say that you want to see the city lord, why do you deceive?" In the past two years, there have been many people like you who have deceived your superiors and deceived your subordinates and tried to fool them out. The city lord has a lot of opportunities, if everyone is like you, can the city lord still be able to see it? Get out of here, or the cane will serve. ”
"Well, is there such a thing?" Wang Mang was a little surprised, but not discouraged, and continued: "Brother Guard, I was really instructed to come to meet the City Lord. If the eldest brother doesn't go through, wouldn't it be troublesome if he really missed something? ”
"If you miss it, you miss it, is it possible that the city lord will still punish me?" The guard smiled and said, "There were many people who really came to see the city lord before, so I didn't just blow it away." ”
"Xianggong, Xianggong, this city lord has a strange temper and is not easy to speak. His subordinates are influenced by him, and they should not be very talkative. Wang Jingyan said in a low voice: "Why don't you try some money?" Maybe for the sake of money, he will help us get it through? ”
"Well, you have a point." Wang Mang nodded, and suddenly took out a silver ticket from his arms, which was a thousand taels.
But it was he who took out his blood money and vowed to see the city lord. At the same time, he thought that this city lord was not ordinary, and he would definitely not be able to bribe his subordinates if he had less money.
Wang Mang handed the silver ticket to the guards and said again; "Brother Guard, please be accommodating, the three of us have come all the way, it's not easy."
"Hmph, bribe me? Who do you think of me? The guard's face became even colder, threw the silver ticket on the ground, and said viciously: "Hurry up and get out of me, otherwise I will take you down without mercy." ”
"That's not okay either?"
Wang Mang was dumbfounded, a thousand taels, a thousand taels. Wang Mang didn't expect that he would come out with so much money, but he still couldn't do it.
In his opinion, for just this thousand taels, let alone bribing a city lord's guards, even bribing the guards of the border princes can succeed.
Shangguan Ningxuan's face was a little unsightly, and there was a faint anger rising, and she couldn't see this person saying threatening words to Wang Mang.
She gritted her teeth, thinking that if she hadn't asked for someone, she would have killed this guard and ran away, which would be an eyesore.
"This can't work, Xianggong has worked hard to run, how can he return empty-handed? I have to help Xianggong meet the city lord today, otherwise I will really be a vase with big breasts and no brains. Shangguan Ningxuan secretly thought about countermeasures.
After thinking for a long time, she gritted her teeth again, pulled Wang Mang to the back, stepped forward by herself, and said with a smile: "Brother guard, the little girl is polite." This little girl really wants to meet the city lord for something, and she also asks the eldest brother of the guard to give a face.
If she doesn't see the city lord today, the little woman is afraid that she will be punished when she returns. I don't think the eldest brother can bear the punishment of the little girl, right? I beg my eldest brother to help me..."As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she seemed to be very aggrieved, afraid of not being able to see the scene behind the city lord.
When the guards heard Shangguan Ning Xuanjiao's tone and looked at her pitiful appearance, they chuckled in their hearts.
"This girl is so devastated, if you don't help her, it will be a great sin. Besides, the city lord has always liked to make friends with beautiful women, maybe..."The guard thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, for your sake, I'll pass on one or two for you." But if the lord doesn't see you, don't blame me. ”
"No blame, no blame. As long as the eldest brother is willing to pass it on. Shangguan Ningxuan saw that the temptation was useful, so she took the sticker from Wang Mang's hand and handed it over, and said;" Brother Guard, thank you. If the little girl fulfills her wish, the little girl will thank her afterwards. ”
"It's easy to say, it's my blessing to be able to serve the girl." The guard took the sticker and turned to the door to summon the message.
Shangguan Ningxuan smiled proudly, came to stand next to Wang Mang, and waited for the city lord to summon him.
Wang Mang didn't feel good in his heart, and felt that he had lost face.
However, this is Shangguan Ningxuan's intention, and if she rashly accuses, it is not appropriate.
Shangguan Ningxuan saw that Wang Mang's face was a little unsightly, and immediately guessed Wang Mang's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, don't be angry, I have nothing to lose anyway." After all, if we ask someone to do something, how can we not keep our voices down? ”
Wang Mang said: "Seeing you do this, how can I bear it." If it weren't for me, why would you be pretending to be a color to a guard? ”
