Chapter 234: The Lord of Guining and the Prince
Many people don't understand why Guan Chengren changed his face, but it is not difficult to understand.
Li Mi was sent by the Suzhou Prefecture to investigate, if this mess was reported back, where would he put his face in Jiangxia County?
Because of the matter of the national prince, the saint and the civil and military officials were angry, and they had begun to gradually ignore the government and politics.
Whoever can excel in martial arts will naturally be able to win attention in the court, and it is not impossible to go to the next level with martial arts.
He Guan Chengren had long wanted to jump out of Jiangxia's circle, so as not to suffer here, and martial arts was his best opportunity.
But if the martial arts scholars make such a thing in the guild hall and let the people of Suzhou know about it, although they will not report it, but the bureaucratic circle is not large, you say a word to me, and after it spreads quickly, who will still play happily with him Guan Chengren?
Earlier, Jiading Zhixian lost a child for the almshouse, and finally made a joke and had to withdraw from the officialdom, which is a lesson of blood and tears!
It's just that he didn't know that the ugly magistrate had been reinstated with the help of Li Mi, and now he had gone to Xiangyang Mansion to take up his post.
Thinking of this, Guan Chengren had to come to the old lady of the Kang family and say to the old lady.
"Laojun, look at this......"
The old gentleman of the Kang family can control and pull the huge Kang family, how can he not understand the rules of officialdom, and naturally know that Guan Chengren is going to pick a son.
However, she couldn't swallow this breath, so she said angrily to Guan Chengren: "Since Lord Guan can't take measures, the old body will look for the prefect, if the prefect doesn't ask, the old body will look for the governor, find the prince, I don't believe that the huge Wuchang has scared a small official of Suzhou Mansion who came out of nowhere!" ”
"Old lady...... Why ...... this" Guan Chengren heard this, and he was also in a cold sweat, he knew that this old woman was a violent temper, and he knew that he should be a shrinking turtle, and he would just show up, but who would have thought that this Li Mi was still from Suzhou Mansion!
The old gentleman of the Kang family glared at Li Mi viciously, and was about to brush his sleeves away, but at this time, there was a hearty laughter outside, but he saw two men and three women walking into the courtyard of the guild hall surrounded by many palace guards.
"Grandma Kang doesn't have to look for it, it's a big deal, why bother going to the Governor's Palace."
When the old gentleman of the Kang family heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look, but he saw that although the young man was less than twenty, he was in high spirits, and he bowed down after recognizing his face.
"The old man has seen His Royal Highness the Prince! I've seen the Lord of Guining! ”
Guan Chengren was also shocked, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty will meet His Royal Highness!" Meet the Lord of Guining! ”
All the people in the hall also walked quickly to the courtyard, and at once they fell to their knees and bowed to the young man.
This Wuchang is the realm of the king of Chu, and His Royal Highness, the prince in the mouth of everyone, should be the son of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chuding.
However, Zhu Huakui is the last king of Chu, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, thieves were everywhere, when Zhang Xianzhong hit Wuchang, the local officials asked the king of Chu for help, and wanted him to pay for recruiting troops and horses to fund the army, but Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, was a miser, pointing to the golden chair of the throne given by the emperor in the Hongwu Dynasty, and said to those local officials, this king only has this thing left to support the army, and the other is not a dime, so you can take it.
How dare the magistrate take his throne, curse in his heart and leave.
As a result, after Zhang Xianzhong came in, he scavenged a mountain of treasures in the Chu Palace, drove all the royal clans of the Chu Palace, and forced them to throw themselves into the river, and the King of Chu was almost dead.
After the death of King Chu Gong, Zhu Huakui was still young, and he was replaced by Zongli as the regent.
Now I haven't heard of any hereditary titles for his son, so how did he come out of here?
Li Mi squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at it, among the three women, the leader was Zheng Duofu, and the young man in front of him was about twenty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a beautiful mole on the left side of his face.
And beside her, there was a five or six-year-old child, with worried eyes, thinking that she was sleepy, pulling the skirt of the county lord of Guining, and said coquettishly in a milky voice.
"Auntie, Duo'er is sleepy, these people are so noisy, let's go home......"
It turned out that this child was Zhu Yunduo, the son of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chuding, and the woman dressed as a man was Zhu Huakui's sister Zhu Wanrao, the lord of Guining County!
Although Zhu Yunduo is still young and has not inherited the title, it is not wrong to be honored as His Royal Highness, after all, the entire Wuchang is the feudal state of the King of Chu!
No matter how bullish the Kang family is, it is also a declining general, where can it compare to the Chu Palace, Shicai is just shouting, so that Li Mi and others will retreat in difficulty, who would have thought that Zhu Wanrao, the lord of Guining County, would come over as a man!
Zhu Wanrao touched her nephew's little brain, lowered her head and smiled: "Auntie knows, Duo'er can bear with me, let's go back in a while." ”
Where did the kid know anything, he just drilled into Zheng Duofu's arms, and muttered: "Aunt Duofu hugs ......"
The two women behind him thought that they were also county lords and county lords, and teased the little prince: "There are so many aunts here, how can Duo'er like Aunt Duofu to hug?" ”
The child grinned, and had already climbed onto Zheng Duofu's body, but his mouth explained proudly: "Because Aunt Duofu's body is fragrant!" ”
Everyone couldn't cry or laugh, after all, they were all women, and the atmosphere became a little weird, but the old gentleman of the Kang family was a little embarrassed.
Although she is also a woman, she is already old, and she is dancing with guns and sticks, and she is not very close to these female relatives of the Chu Palace, so she apologized to Zhu Wanrao at this time.
"It's the old body who is too reckless, and he has disturbed His Royal Highness the county lord, and he is really frightened......"
Zhu Wanrao only glanced at it lightly, and then her eyes focused on Li Mi's body, looked up and down, and stayed on Zhang Huangting for a long time, and looked at Zheng Duofu meaningfully, and then said to Kang Laojun.
"Where is the grandmother of the Kang family, the affairs of pure chivalry, the palace can't ignore it, but grandma has washed the Dragon King Temple this time, and her family doesn't know her own family."
Kang Laojun was also stunned, and said to Zhu Wanrao: "What do you mean by what the county lord said? ”
Zhu Wanrao pointed at Zhang Huangting and said: "These are all the best friends of Sister Duofu, I came to play with my granddaughter this time, but I just came to find a friend first, so I didn't live in the palace, I didn't expect so many things to happen, but my granddaughter didn't do well......
Kang Laojun and Guan Chengren were also in a cold sweat when they heard this, who would have thought that Li Mi and his party would still have such a relationship with the Chu Palace, and this time they were kicked to the iron plate!
"It turned out to be a friend of the county lord, but he was old and dizzy, and he misunderstood......"
Zhu Wanrao also waved her hand and said to Kang Laojun: "Where did grandma say, they didn't report their own door, and they bumped into grandma, and the juniors were abrupt......"
Although she, the county lord, came forward, Zhu Wanrao obviously knew the temper of the grandmother of the Kang family, and secretly took Zhu Yunduo out to play this time, and she was afraid that her brother would blame her.
Zhu Wanrao thought of this, so she asked Zheng Duofu: "Sister Duofu, how do you say this matter should be handled?" ”
After all, Li Mi and Zhang Huangting were brought by Zheng Duofu, and if Zheng Duofu opened his mouth, the matter would be solved.
Zheng Duofu thought about it, then pointed at Li Mi and said: "This Li Mi didn't serve as the governor of Suzhou Mansion before he served as the governor of Suzhou Mansion, but he is a well-known detective in Suzhou Mansion, why don't you let him help grandma investigate, figure out the matter of the Kang family's brother, find out the person who played the trick, and save the Kang family's brother, wouldn't everyone be happy?" ”
Li Mixin said, this girl still has prejudices against herself, and specially gave him Li Mi to take care of things, although Li Mi is also very interested in the matter of Gu, but this time I came here to investigate Zhu Huakui, the king of Chuding, not the Kang family!
However, at this time, Zhu Wanrao, the lord of Guining, had already spoken.
"Or Sister Duofu has a lot of ideas, I look good, what do the Kang family's grandmothers and this Li Mi friend think?"
His Royal Highness the county lord has already spoken, and the old gentleman of the Kang family is not easy to refuse, objectively speaking, such a plan is really good, let Li Mi investigate the case for the Kang family, and it also has the meaning of atonement, and he does not rely on him to investigate the case, but it is just a big face for the old monarch of the Kang family.
Both sides also have steps to go down, and I have to say that Zheng Duofu's method has indeed made everyone happy, and the old gentleman of the Kang family will also go down the donkey road.
"The county lord's arrangement is good."
Seeing the Kang family's grandmother nodding, the county lord of Guining also smiled with satisfaction, and turned his eyes to Li Mi.
Li Misheng was afraid that Xiong Tingbi would jump out again to pull hatred, so he hurriedly said to Zhu Wanrao: "Everything is subject to the orders of the county lord." ”
Zhu Wanrao also clapped her hands and said to everyone: "This is the best, grandma and good life take care of Chunxia, Sister Duofu has always had a good eye, I think this Li Mi friend has the ability, I believe that the truth will be found out in a few days." ”
"It's night now, why don't you go to the palace for a banquet together, and talk about business tomorrow?"
Zhu Wanrao also wanted to capture the old man, and proposed such a stubble, just to remind the old gentleman of the Kang family not to go to the king of Chu to complain, after all, Kang Chunxia is still lying down, how can the old gentleman have a banquet in the palace.
The old gentleman of the Kang family naturally could hear the sound outside the strings, so he said to Zhu Wanrao: "The old body still has to take care of his grandson, so he won't bother in the past few days, and when things are done, the old body is going to thank His Royal Highness the county lord." ”
When Zhu Wanrao heard this, she was also very satisfied, so she said to Li Mi and the others: "It's time to go to the palace now, right?" ”
Zheng Duofu also rejoiced, walked over with Zhu Yunduo in his arms, and said to Zhang Huangting affectionately: "Brother Huangting, let's go!" ”
Zhang Huangting was also a little embarrassed, but Zheng Duofu asked the child in his arms: "Duo'er, I call him brother, what should you call him?" ”
Although the child was already sleepy, it could be seen that he was awake, he smelled the fragrance on Zhang Huangting's body, so he laughed, clapped his hands and said, "I call him sister!" ”
Zhang Huangting's face suddenly turned a little pale, but Zheng Duofu poked the child's head and said to him.
"What sister is called, uncle is right!"
The kid didn't recognize this, but felt that Zhang Huangting's body was fragrant, so he insisted: "It's my sister!" It's my sister! ”
Zhu Wanrao looked at Zhang Huangting meaningfully, her eyes swept over his Adam's apple, and then she was relieved and smiled at them.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble, this hall is smoky, let's go back to the palace first."
When Guan Chengren and the people in the hall heard this, they were also frightened and covered in cold sweat, but Zhang Huangting was anxious to end this embarrassing scene, so he said to Li Mi: "Brother Li, Brother Shibaoka, let's go together." ”
Li Mi and Xiong Tingbi glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
