Chapter Forty-Eight: The Edge Emerges
At this time, it is early summer in May, the backyard of Yuejing Mansion is rockery, small bridges and flowing water, all kinds of precious flowers compete for beauty, permeated with the fragrance of refreshing flowers, occasionally there are butterflies and swallows dancing, swallow song of warbler, it is really a good scenery of spring in the garden.
However, Qian Buxiu couldn't raise the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the garden, and at this moment he was sitting in the study with a bitter face, tapping the abacus with one hand and keeping the account book. Yesterday's battle really caused him to lose a lot, a full 100,000 taels of silver!
One hundred thousand taels! That's the wealth that has been accumulated with great difficulty over the past few years, and it has been lost like this... Qian Buxiu felt a pain in his heart, his eyes were full of resentment, and he blamed Zhao Gongzi for letting people take the lead in betting on the leopard's head, otherwise he would not have lost so much.
When I think of the leopard's head, I grit my teeth even more, and I can't wait to dismantle it! Just as he was thinking about going to the prison after keeping the accounts, and lynching Jiang Xiaobai to get rid of the hatred in his heart, he saw a messenger running in.
"Lord Qiyu, someone has come to visit and ask to see you"
"Nope! Let's just say I'm not available" Qian Buxiu flicked his sleeves and said angrily, seeing that Yacha was stunned in place with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, he asked impatiently, "What?" Don't go yet! ”
Yacha looked sad and snorted, "I... I can't stop it, and now the people are in the backyard..."
"You!" Qian Bu glared at the yacha fiercely, and was about to get angry, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, the young man with extraordinary aura had already walked into the study, first raised his hand and gave a salute, and then smiled: "Gu Feng, I have seen Lord Qian." ”
Qian Buxiu suddenly got up, pointed at Gu Feng and said, "You are so bold, do you know that this is the backyard of Yuejing Mansion?!" ”
"Of course Gu knows," Gu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Gu was ordered by his master to come to buy the leopard's head from Lord Qian." ”
"Leopard head?!" Qian Buxiu smiled coldly, flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Don't sell!" ”
Gu Feng's expression was calm, and he still kept a smile: "Money and silver are not a problem, Lord Qian just needs to make a price."
"Don't have long ears? The official said that it would not be sold! Qian kept slapping and shouted coldly, "I won't sell any amount of silver!" ”
Gu Feng was stunned, he didn't expect Qian Buxiu to react like this, and his face sank and said, "It's okay to say this?" ”
"Huh! Not only is it not light, but the official will also hold you accountable! Qian Buxiu smiled coldly, waved his hand and shouted out, "Someone!" Put this bandit who trespassed into the yamen into prison."
Just hearing the sound of "Qiang Qiang", Qian Bu shouted endlessly, and five or six officials ran in and pulled out their big knives to surround Gu Feng.
"Presumptuous!" Gu Feng suddenly changed color, and shouted in a deep voice, "Money is endless, open your dog's eyes and see what this is!" With that, he took out a token from his bosom and lit it up in front of Qian Nong's eyes.
When Qian heard the words, he was even more angry, this Gu Feng actually called him by his name and scolded him for being a dog, he was really bold! Just as he was about to have a seizure, he saw the token in Gu Feng's hand clearly, and at this look, he suddenly felt that his legs and feet were weak, and he almost fell off the chair.
Seeing that Qian Buxiu's expression changed greatly, he walked down from behind the bookcase and fell to the ground with a puff: "The lower official should be damned!" The lower official has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and he has offended adults, no wonder! ”
The faces of the officials were all inexplicable, but they looked at Gu Feng in fear, thinking to themselves what was the origin of this young man?! Even Lord Qian fell to his knees, and immediately put away his knives and retreated to the side.
Gu Feng sneered, glanced at the money on the ground, and said lightly: "See clearly?" ”
"Look... See clearly" Qian Buxiu said tremblingly, cold sweat had come out of his forehead, and his voice was extremely respectful.
"Why don't you release them quickly?!"
"It's... It's "Qian Buxiu nodded again and again, glared at the yacha fiercely, and shouted angrily, "Why are you stunned?" Go to jail and ask for someone! ”
....
Under the respectful eyes of the prison chief and several officials, Jiang Xiaobai walked out of the door of the prison indifferently, and Gu Feng, who was waiting not far away, greeted him, raised his hand and said, "Gu Feng, come to greet you on the orders of the master." ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, seeing that Gu Feng's eyes were as extraordinary as stars, thinking that his master should also be an extremely noble person, he opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Gu, take the liberty of asking... Who is your master? ”
"Third Prince" Gu Feng said lightly, his face was full of solemnity and respect.
Rajah?! Jiang Xiaobai's eyes widened, I heard Bai Qi say that many royal relatives would also go to the fighting arena for recreation, and I thought it was just some horses, princes, or county lords or the like... I didn't expect it to be the third prince who bought him from the money!
This third prince is not an ordinary prince and noble, Jiang Xiaobai once heard the rumor say that before the death of the first emperor, the nine princes who were eligible to inherit all participated in the competition for the throne, and finally the fourth prince Yue Jin won in this fierce competition, that is, the current Shengshang Jingde Emperor.
After Yue Jin succeeded to the throne, he suppressed those princes who had participated in the seizure of the heir, some of them were placed under house arrest in the palace, and some of them were away from the court and politics. It is only these three princes Yue Qi who are favored, not only staying in Yuejing City, but also holding important positions and power.
The three princes also lived up to the trust of the saints, and for several years they have wholeheartedly assisted the foundation of the saints.
I don't know what the purpose of such a big man is to buy himself? This time, Rao is Jiang Xiaobai's psychological quality is strong, and he can't help but be a little apprehensive at this moment.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Feng had already brought the carriage from the side, and after the two got into the carriage, they went all the way south, and after walking for more than half an hour, they came to a beautiful and quiet elegant garden.
There were already people waiting in front of the Yayuan Gate, and when they saw the carriage stop, they immediately stepped forward, said goodbye, and after Gu Feng and Jiang Xiaobai got off the car, they said respectfully: "Lord Gu, the prince is already waiting in the side hall."
Gu Feng bowed slightly, didn't say much, and led Jiang Xiaobai into the elegant garden.
The garden is extremely elegant and beautiful, the garden, the rockery, the pool pavilion, the water pavilion, the piano room and the tea pavilion are all available, every corner of the corridor is placed with all kinds of potted plants, and every short walk can see the officers and soldiers standing guard.
After Gu Feng walked through several corridors, when he arrived at the side hall of Yayuan, he saw a person sitting high in the hall, dressed in a python robe, with a dignified appearance, square and majestic, it was the third prince.
Gu Feng led the person and retreated respectfully. Although Jiang Xiaobai is a traverser, he does not have the concept of the supremacy of imperial power in his mind, but he also understands that some rules must be followed, so he stepped forward and knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Grass people Jiang Xiaobai, knock to see the third prince!" ”
"Get up, no need to be polite" The third prince waved his hand, with a hint of a smile on his face, and his voice was very flat.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Jiang Xiaobai got up and quietly glanced at the third prince, seeing that the third prince seemed to be no different from ordinary people except for his innate nobility, the rest seemed to be no different from ordinary people, and he was also slightly taken aback in his heart, which was very different from the image he imagined.
The third prince picked up the fragrant tea on the table, blew the tea warm, and said lightly: "This king heard that you are a big prison before you hit someone else's family" The tone of the words was very peaceful, Jiang Xiaobai knew that this was the opening words of the third prince, and he didn't need him to answer, and sure enough, he didn't wait for him to speak, the third prince took a sip of tea and said, "Jealousy is like hatred, extraordinary skills, you are a good young man, but you are interested in entering the court to do things and serve the court?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai was startled, and his eyes narrowed slightly... That's the purpose of buying yourself!
