Text 72 Xu Jingzong's purpose

The carriage galloped along the empty streets of Chang'an City, unimpeded along the way, and did not encounter the interrogation and obstruction of the city guards.

The place of the accident is a restaurant in Pingkangfang, although the entire Chang'an City has begun a curfew, but no one will take care of the activities in the workshop, so this Pingkangfang has always been a good place for the night pastime of the three religions and nine streams, dignitaries and nobles, etc., and it is very lively.

There were more than a dozen city guards standing at the gate of the fang, looking vigilantly at the galloping carriage from time to time, and when the carriage approached, one of the guards drew the horizontal knife at his waist and shouted: "What person? Stop the carriage! ”

The carriage slowly stopped not far in front of Wu Wei, and without waiting for Li Hong in the car to speak, Xu Jingzong stepped off the carriage from the wheel with his old legs, took out his waist card and handed it to Cheng Wuwei, who walked to him.

After checking it and making sure that it was correct, he handed him back, and after waving his hand to a few guards behind him, the carriage drove into the workshop.

Li Hong sat up from Xia Zhi's arms, looked at the Wuwei outside to check the waist card, and when the carriage was marching, Li Hong spoke: "Taifu, now this curfew is not as good as before, it seems to be much looser." I'm afraid that an official of your level has no problem entering and exiting the city gate at night, right? ”

"The prince laughed, although it has been a lot more relaxed over the years, but it is only limited to a limited number of squares, the city gate is absolutely indispensable, without a warrant in the palace, no matter how big an official is, it is impossible to enter and exit Chang'an City at night." Xu Jingzong was talking while looking for the restaurant.

The speed of the carriage became even slower, and Li Hong in the carriage poked his head out of the curtain, only to see the door of a restaurant, brightly lit, with many torches, shining as bright as day, and there were already many people around to watch the excitement.

Li Hong looked up again at the brightly lit second floor of this restaurant, there were many people by several windows, and from time to time someone poked his head out to look down.

"Prince......." Xu Jingzong saw that the carriage could no longer drive inside, and said in a low voice to the carriage.

"Wait a minute." Li Hong was about to get out of the carriage, when he suddenly heard neat footsteps from far and near, and said loudly.

At this moment, a squad of the city guards hurried over to this side, and the neat footsteps attracted the crowd of onlookers, and they involuntarily hurriedly made way for the city guards.

"Keep up with them and drive closer." Li Hong said in the carriage.

Xu Jingzong hurriedly signaled the coachman to follow behind the city guard, and took advantage of the gap between the crowd to drive the carriage into the empty space, which immediately caused a burst of dissatisfaction among the surrounding people.

But looking at the style of the carriage, he knew which official it must be, so he hummed a few words in his heart with dissatisfaction, and continued to concentrate on watching the excitement.

"Boy, don't think that if you are here, I can't do anything about you! I tell you, even if the king of heaven is here today, it is impossible to take you away from me! He Lanminzhi panted and looked at the figure lying on the ground like mud, and said viciously.

A man about fifty years old next to him, who seemed to be Xu Ang, the son of Xu Jingzong, hurriedly helped his son to sit on the ground, raised his head and said to Helan Minzhi: "Prince Helan, you have a lot of adults, and I hope that for the sake of the dog's young and ignorant dogs, please raise your noble hand ......." ”

"Ignorant?" Helan Minzhi sneered, arrogantly and disdainfully raised his foot and kicked, Xu Yanbo, who was held in Xu Ang's arms, kicked and sneered: "It's already seventeen years old, and you are still ignorant?" Are all the people in your Xu family so late in maturity? Ha ha....... ”

"Minzhi, today they are disrespectful first, it is a bad scenery, just hand it over to the criminal department after the lesson is over, don't spoil our taste because of such a brute." Wu Yuanshuang stood aside and said lightly.

"That's not good, that's not good, his dead ghost grandfather in the Criminal Department still has a way to save people, I see, put it in Dali Temple or Zongzheng Temple, in this way, even his dead ghost grandfather, I guess there is no way to save it." Wu Yuanqing also said lightly on the side.

When Wu Yuanshuang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Yes, I will be locked up in the Zongzheng Temple where you are the Shaoqing, and I will see who else can save him!" Ha ha....... ”

The two of them didn't care about the people who were surrounding and talking about each other, and said with an arrogant expression.

"Xiaguan Jiang has seen all the adults." The city martial guard team just now is Jiangdu, and respectfully saluted the three of them.

The place where the carriage is parked now is just right to see what is happening at the scene. Looking at the arrogant and arrogant appearance of Helan Minzhi, Wu Yuanqing, and Wu Yuanshuang, Li Hong couldn't help but look at Xu Jingzong, who was standing in front of the carriage and also staring at the scene.

An old face looked a lot ruddy under the light of the torches, but some blue and trembling lips still betrayed Xu Jingzong's inner anger. A pair of cloudy eyes, mixed with the reflection of torches, but they seem calm and deep.

"Your Highness, please be the master of the old minister." Xu Jingzong sighed deeply, turned his head and said to the carriage.

Li Hong lifted the curtain and glanced at Xu Jingzong, this guy has now regained his former calm and composure, although his expression is still a little anxious, but it is much calmer than just now.

Li Hong ignored him, but searched in the crowd, and after about a dozen breaths, Li Hong stared at Xu Ang Not far behind, a lively person showed a thoughtful look.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Hong took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Xia Zhi behind him, and then said, "Do you see that person, take this over and let him come over." ”

Xia Zhi hurriedly took the jade pendant, and after following the direction of Li Hong's finger, it was determined that it was the person the prince was looking for, and under Xu Jingzong's puzzled expression, Xia Zhi didn't ask why the prince wanted to see a person, and he also took a piece of jade pendant over, and immediately jumped out of the carriage through the crowd and walked towards that person.

"Your Highness, this is ......." Xu Jingzong approached the carriage, fearing that the appearance of the prince would alarm the people around him, and if the prince made a mistake, he would be really ruined.

"Don't worry, depending on the situation, they won't be embarrassed by Xu Shi and Yanbo now." Li Hong looked at He Lanminzhi's arrogant appearance, and a little cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Yes...... Your Highness, look at it, Uncle Yan is now injured like that, and his unconscious appearance makes the old minister really distressed....... Xu Jingzong stood under the carriage, stomped his feet slightly, and said anxiously.

Li Hong ignored him, watched Xia Zhi say a few words to the man, and after the man saw the jade pendant clearly, he hurriedly followed Xia Zhi to the carriage.

The person who followed the Xia Solstice to the carriage, after glancing at Li Hong, immediately saluted and said, "The little one has seen the master." ”

"What the hell is going on? Who are the people of the official family here, and where are they now? Who transferred the city's military guards? Li Hong's face was full of lightness, and he took back the jade pendant in Xia Zhiyu's hand and asked.

Under Xu Jingzong's surprise, the person who came said respectfully: "If you return to your master's words, the reason for the incident is very simple, Helan Minzhi made things difficult for Xu Yanbo in the restaurant for no reason, and then there was a quarrel, and then there was a fight. The people of the official family were all called by Helan Minzhi, Wu Yuanqing, and Wu Yuanshuang, and there were Ning Daoming, the squire of the Ministry of War, Feng Xuan, the squire of the Criminal Department, and Gao Junya of Dali Temple, and now, the Zhengjiang Capital of the Chengwu Guards who are over there. These were mobilized by Ning Daoming. ”

Li Hong nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "Taifu, Ning Daoming should have been recommended by you at the beginning, right?" ”

Xu Jingzong's anxious expression flashed a trace of panic, but he quickly regained his calm complexion and said: "Yes, Ning Daoming was recommended by the old minister back then, but now the old minister has not been in the court for many years, I'm afraid it will ......." ”

Li Hong caught the flash of panic on Xu Jingzong's face, interrupted him and asked, "You went directly to my East Palace from home, right?" ”

"Uh...... Your Royal Highness, the old minister is the ...... of the East Palace who went to the East Palace after separating from here with the dog Xu Ang. Xu Jingzong spread his hands, as if to prove that he was not lying.

"Master, Xu Jingzong didn't come here, and when Xu Ang came, he didn't see Xu Jingzong coming with him." Someone suddenly interjected.

This person's words not only startled Xu Jingzong, but also Xia Zhi, what is the origin of this person, how dare he debunk it in front of Xu Jingzong, and call him by his name.

Li Hong's pupils were shrinking, exuding a chill, but instead of looking at Xu Jingzong, he looked at He Lanmin's place, at this moment, Helan Minzhi was like a bull in estrus, after Xu Ang was pulled away, he punched and kicked Xu Yanbo again.

"Your Highness, the old minister is guilty, it is the old minister who is too anxious, so he dares to deceive His Highness, it is the old minister who is too concerned about the safety of his grandson, and I ask His Royal Highness to punish the old minister." Xu Jingzong ignored the crowd around him who suddenly looked sideways, and made a gesture to kneel down again.

After Xia Zhi saw Li Hong's eyes, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to block Xu Jingzong, who was about to kneel.

Li Hong couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and sigh, he almost fell for Xu Jingzong, an old yin man. couldn't help muttering: "Xu Jingzong, you won." ”

"Your Highness......." Xu Jingzong was really frightened this time, he didn't expect the prince to be so smart, in such a short period of time, could he have realized his true purpose?

Li Hong ignored him, looked up to the sky and sighed, and was about to bow his head, his eyes swept to the window on the second floor of the restaurant, only to see a female head poking out of the opened window, and he happened to look over to his side at this time.

"Auntie?" Li Hong's heart was shocked, how could she be here?

Wu Shun casually looked down, and after seeing clearly that it was the prince sitting in the carriage in the crowd, a trace of panic flashed on his face, and when he was about to close the window in a hurry, Dutch Minyue's face suddenly poked out.

Helan Minyue looked down at Wu Shun's line of sight, and her face was also stunned, and the three of them didn't expect to meet here.

Wushun's mother and daughter were a little at a loss, looking at Li Hong's gaze towards them, one holding a window in his hand, not knowing whether to close it immediately.
