Chapter 240: No Rabbit or Eagle (2)
That's true, "Little prince, you ......"
Mu Ning patronized the excitement, and after chattering a lot, he found that Hongqing's face was a little wrong, his heart sank, and he faintly noticed that something was wrong, and the eagerness in his eyes immediately dimmed, and he hesitated to ask a question, but he was afraid of touching Hongqing's brows, and he was speechless halfway through the words.
"No, well, let's put it this way, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for a few more days, well, three days at most, and Ben Belle will come and pick you up from now."
The current situation is really too delicate, it really can't be explained clearly in a few words, besides, with Mu Ning's identity, he is not qualified to understand the overall situation, Hongqing will not talk to him in detail, so he groaned a little and gave a promise.
"Ah, alas, ......, then there is Lao Xiaowangye."
Mu Ning originally thought that as soon as Hongqing arrived, things would be solved, but he didn't expect that the promise given by Hongqing would be three days, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, but how could he dare to complain indiscriminately in front of Hongqing, so he could only sigh and reluctantly accept such an unsatisfactory result.
"Well, it's said that you have a few friends who are also detained here, but is that so?"
Mu Ning's dissatisfaction is really too obvious, Hongqing won't be able to see it, but he doesn't mind it very much, after all, this kind of grievance is indeed too difficult for the son who has always been pampered, and if it is Hongqing himself, I am afraid that it will be very unbearable for a day, of course, I don't mind, but Hongqing doesn't want to explain more about this matter, so he raised his eyebrows and changed the topic.
"Brothers, hurry, they've all come to see the little prince."
Although he was a little disappointed that he could not be released from prison immediately, Mu Ning was still a person who knew the general situation, and when he heard Hongqing ask about his companion, Mu Ning hurriedly gathered his thoughts and shouted loudly into the prison next door.
"I've seen the little prince in Xia Sun Zhengtao!"
"I've seen the little prince in Xia Wang Cunmiao!"
"I've seen the little prince in Xia Dong Chengbin!"
……
When Hongqing was about to come in, the people on the left and right of the prison had already been alarmed, and they were all gathered at the fence, but no one dared to talk nonsense in front of Hongqing.
"You have all suffered, and Ben Baylor already knows it, and in three days, Ben Baylor will be shocked by the wine, and then he will make a plan."
For Mu Ning's companions, Hongqing has actually sent someone to explore the bottom, and he knows that they are all the children of some big salt merchants, and the good and bad are mixed, but everyone who comes is a guest, and Hongqing will not do favoritism, so he smiled and returned the salute, and politely greeted him.
"Thank you, little prince, Longen!"
"The little prince is polite, I'll talk to myself."
"Little prince is proud, I'll take it."
……
Although everyone said that it was the first time to see Hongqing himself, they had heard all kinds of rumors about Hongqing, and they all knew that the young man in front of them was a great man in the court.
"San'er, go back and bring some wine, food, and bedding to the big guy, don't make a mistake."
The prison is really not a good place to greet each other, the people who should be seen on the left and right have been seen, and the oral messages that should be conveyed have been transmitted, Hongqing didn't want to stay in such a dirty place any longer, and he didn't care about the expression of Wang Yanhe who came to his side, and after turning back to Liu San'er who was following him, he didn't say any more, and as soon as he turned around, he strode towards the way he came.
"Little prince, look at this search ......, hehe."
As soon as Hongqing left like this, the palace guards who pretended to search for it had also called it a day, but they did not give Wang Yanhe an explanation, which made Wang Yanhe a little anxious, and he was really afraid that Hongqing would come to such a hand from time to time, so he had to be shy, came to Hongqing's side, and asked half of the words with a smile.
"Then check yourself, go back and give Ben Baylor a report, and that's it!"
For Wang Yanhe, a servant of the ninth master, Hongqing would not have the slightest good impression at all, and he didn't bother to give him a good face, so he just glanced at him coldly, dropped a noncommittal word, and led a group of guards to walk away in the snow.
"Phew, bad luck!"
With a hot face and a cold buttocks, Wang Yanhe's mood was not much better, but how could he really think clearly with Hongqing face to face, gong to gong, drum to drum, and he could only be 120,000 helplessly stupid on the spot, until Hongqing and the others were gone, then he spat heavily and cursed in a low voice, and led a group of prisoners back to the prison with their heads down......
"The subordinates have seen the little prince!"
Hongqing got out of the prison of the Criminal Department, did not return home, but went to Xiaokuanzi Hutong, just got out of the sedan chair, Chen Ize and Cao Yanshan, who had already received the news, hurriedly led a group of "Sharp Knife Gang" people to greet them, and they all bowed and paid respects.
"Excuse me, just talk inside."
Today, I can see the tragic situation of Mu Ning and others, although Hongqing has never said anything, but there is a fire in his heart, because of the guilt is of course Mu Ning and others, but it is his Hongqing's face, like this kind of shame, Hongqing has no intention of swallowing his anger, no matter what, he has to give the eighth master a little color to see, of course, this kind of thing still has to be considered in the long run, Hongqing will not be shallow to the point of indiscriminate madness, facing the great gifts of Chen, Cao and others, Hongqing is also a lot of words, just called out in a slightly cold voice, and then, regardless of everyone's reaction, he walked slowly into the courtyard gate, and walked speechlessly all the way to the study in the inner courtyard, where his subordinates served freshly brewed fragrant tea.
"Is there any movement on Sun Miao's side?"
In the study, Hongqing did not hurry to speak, but took a sip of tea slowly, and then asked quietly.
"Back to the little prince's words, that guy has always been cowering in the residence, never seen him go out, his subordinates have been strictly monitored, and there will be no mistakes."
Although he didn't understand why Hongqing asked about this at this time, Cao Yanshan didn't dare to ask more, so he just honestly reported it.
"Well, then close the net, Min Xing, you bring some brothers to cooperate with Ming Tao, and bring Sun Miao to Ben Beile here, and then try it first!"
Hongqing originally didn't plan to start it so quickly, because the fourth master has not been forced into a desperate situation, and the eighth master also has a fluke mentality, if he moves at this time, it will be difficult to seek the maximum benefits, but Hongqing is not good to sit back and watch Mu Ning suffer more, after all, his father Rongzhu can now be regarded as Hongqing's firm ally, so it is reasonable, Hongqing must reach out to pull Mu Ning, as for the loss of interests, it can only take a back seat.
"Wow!"
Hongqing's words were death orders for everyone, and no one dared to say anything, so everyone bowed down and answered the promise, and then hurriedly left the study and rushed to Sun Miao's hiding place without mentioning it.
"Fourteenth master, fourteenth master!"
It was getting late, gloomy and gloomy, and it was a boom when the snow was about to fall, and the old fourteen, who was finally busy with the affairs of the military department, walked out of the yamen of the military department with a tired face, and was surrounded by a group of guards in the palace, dragging his feet to the sedan car parking place outside Tiananmen Square, and when he was about to enter the sedan chair, he heard someone shouting outside, and the voice sounded very familiar.
"Yo, it's San'er, let him come."
Lao Fourteen looked back and saw that the person who was stopped outside the cordon by his own guards was Liu San'er, Hongqing's personal follower, and his heart immediately moved, and an ominous premonition surged up in his heart for no reason, but a kind smile instantly appeared on his face, waved his hand, and ordered kindly.
"The little one is saying hello to the Fourteenth Master."
Liu San'er always followed Hongqing's side, and he was already familiar with the old fourteen, and when he met him, he didn't say anything inhibited, and made a big gift with a hippie smile.
"Come on, don't behave in front of the master, your kid has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's talk about it, what's the matter with the master?"
Lao Fourteen has always been a bold person, and he is familiar with Liu San'er, so he will not be very polite with Liu San'er, and after laughing and scolding, he didn't talk nonsense, and asked Liu San'er directly.
"Hey, look at what you said, the little one, how dare you spread wild in front of you, no, it's all my little master's instructions, let the little one give you a letter, saying that you will know the root of it when you read it."
Liu San'er grinned, but his tone was very tight, and he didn't mention what was going on at all, but just took out a letter from his wide sleeves, held it in both hands, and handed it to the old fourteen.
"Hmm."
The fourteenth didn't seem to be surprised by Liu San'er's laughter, he said noncommittally, stretched out his hand to take the letter, opened it, and there were four words inside-Sun Miao, tonight!
"The master knows, there is Lao San'er, come here, and give a reward of ten taels of silver!"
Although the letter has no beginning or end, and there is not even a payment, but the old fourteen understands it, his heart jumps suddenly, and his face is instantly snow-white, and after a long period of wood, he came back to his senses, but he didn't say much, just said noncommittally, and ordered Liu San'er to be rewarded, and then, regardless of Liu San'er's expression, he was already on the eight-lift sedan chair with a waist, and hurriedly went along the South Street in the direction of the Eighth Master's Mansion under the support of a group of guards.
"Hey, silver is a good thing, can't you appreciate more, knock on the door!"
Liu San'er was purely a cheap and well-behaved master, and he didn't care about the whereabouts of the old fourteen and the others, he threw up a piece of snowflake silver in his hand, pocketed it with his sleeve in a chic manner, and put it in it steadily, shrugged his shoulders, muttered a sentence to the old fourteen nonchalantly, and then walked to Prince Cheng's mansion.
