Volume 1 A Son of Heaven and a Courtier 097 Everyone has arrived
The county lord Yiran didn't care with a face, glanced at Qiu Yi, and swept Wen Lingjiao with his afterglow, and said lightly: "Didn't I say it clearly enough?" Two people followed us and didn't get rid of it for a long time. I looked upset, so I told some of my men to beat them up and throw them into the pit. ”
Qiu Yizhi was relieved when she heard her say this, and said with a long sigh of relief: "You scared me!" But it doesn't matter now, but you're being targeted after all. It seems that you can't go back to Siyi Pavilion right now, so let's stay here first, and don't move around easily if you have nothing to do. ”
Yiran was full of reluctance and said, "You don't have to worry about my affairs, it's good if they want to come." How many come, how many people I hit out! ”
Qiu Yizhi raised his face and reprimanded: "This is not Guangyang, nor Bohai, it is the capital Luoyang!" It's not a place where you can just hang out! ”
Since I came to Guangyang from Bohai a few years ago and got acquainted with Qiu Yizhi, I had never been reprimanded so harshly by him, and my face suddenly felt a little unbearable, and my nose was sour, and I was about to cry.
Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi was also panicked, lest this lawless county lord of Yiran would not be able to clean up, so he hurriedly reassured a few words and said: "You remember the county lord's ability, I know, how can a few spies who persuade the good division to help you?" But my father-in-law has always treated you as if you were his own, and now his old man's life depends on a few of us, and he can't be careless, don't you say? ”
Yiran still has a grudge, but after listening to Qiu Yizhi's reasonable explanation, he can no longer lose his temper, and he stands alone in place, but a circle of red has floated around his two eyes as blue as the sky.
Wen Lingjiao gently walked to Yiran's side, handed over a Su embroidered handkerchief, and said, "It's not tight." Although it is a little simple, it is still comfortable to live in. As for the change of clothes, the little woman still has a few brand new sets here, and the county lord can take them for himself. If the county lord dislikes it, it is very convenient for me to send someone to buy it. ”
Yiran didn't appreciate it, reached out and knocked the delicate handkerchief off Wen Lingjiao's hand, stared at her with two eyes and said, "Just a few clothes, don't I have the money to buy them?" Is it your turn to be a good person here? After that, he didn't dare to go out, but as soon as he turned around, he pushed open a room and slammed the door, never to come out again.
Qiu Yizhi saw that Yiran entered her own room, knowing that although she was willful, she was not an ignorant person, so she shook her head, picked up a handkerchief from the ground, handed it back to Wen Lingjiao and said: "Yiran County Lord is like this, in fact, there is no malice. It's good to let her vent, and please don't take it to heart. ”
Wen Lingjiao's fingers made contact with Qiu Yizhi intentionally or unintentionally, and then put the handkerchief back into her sleeve and said: "What the little woman envies is the character of the county lord, what she likes and hates, there is nothing that cannot be said, so that she will not live in vain in the world!" ”
Qiu Yizhi listened, deliberately raised his voice and said, "Miss Wen is right. If you live for a lifetime, you have to be like the lord of Yiran, who doesn't hide anything and is happy to be revenge. There is a name for the righteous son of the king of Youyan, which is really unbearable and yearns for it! ”
Yiran was a child's temperament, and when he heard Qiu Yizhi's deliberate flattery, his mood changed slightly, and he "hummed" and said: "Don't think that if you praise me casually, I won't remember this grudge, and when this thing is done, see how I settle accounts with you!" ”
Qiu Yizhi knew Yiran's personality best, and just by listening to the tone, she knew that her temper had calmed down for the most part, so she breathed a sigh of relief. He was just about to speak, but when he saw Yelu pushing the door in, he asked, "Brother Yelu, how are things going?" ”
Yelu nodded vigorously and said, "It's done!" Childe is really auspicious, there is a family who bought a new house here, I want to say, five hundred taels of silver, one thousand taels of silver, so that they can give me this house. Although it is a few steps away from the prison of the Criminal Department, fortunately there are no residents inside, and I can move in now. It's just that the money that His Highness Yi gave me has been almost spent by me. ”
Qiu Yizhi stretched out his hand and patted Yelu's shoulder, and said, "What is this money, as long as you can get things done, it will be worth spending ten times more!" He added, "I have a reluctant request right now, and I hope Brother Ye Lu can help." ”
"Childe, please speak."
"Can you ask Brother Ye Lu to accompany the county lord Yiran to stay here? There is a master of tunneling who is now packing up his tools and coming here, and Brother Lu will help take care of it then. There are still some things to do with Miss Wen and Zhao Chengxiao. Qiu Yizhi replied.
Before Yelu could agree, Yiran came out of the room and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Qiu Yizhi said, "I'm going to see Mr. Zhongli, do you want to go with me?" ”
The essence of this person is just a hostage given to Youyan by Dali Khan, the king of loyalty, but after all, she has the name of learning the teachings of the Han people, and the teacher who taught her is none other than Zhong Li Kuang. This Zhong Li Kuang is tricky and mean, and he has always had an unsmiling expression, and it doesn't matter if you are a child of the Han Dynasty or the prince of Bohai, you will be treated equally, and as long as you make a mistake, you will inevitably be punished. Therefore, when it comes to who Yiran is afraid of in this Central Plains land, this person is none other than Zhong Li Kuang.
Therefore, as soon as I heard that Qiu Yizhi was going to see this Zhongli master, I immediately lost interest, and said: "If you want to go, you can go, if you come back late, don't blame me for not saying goodbye!" ”
Qiu Yizhi agreed twice, and then asked Wen Lingjiao and He'er to sit in the canopy of the carriage, while he and Zhao Chengxiao walked and drove alone, and walked in the direction of Dongyang Gate when they left the courtyard gate.
This carriage was borrowed by Zhao Chengxiao from Zhou Cijing of the Guangyang Guild Hall to transport saltpeter, and its appearance looks very old and simple. Qiu Yizhi and Zhao Chengxiao also ran around for a day without a good rest and freshened up, and they were covered in gray faces. Therefore, the two of them drove this broken car, just like the coolies transporting fruits, vegetables or other sundries in the capital, but they were not at all inconspicuous.
It's just that this Dongyang Gate is far away from the mansion of the Tianzun Sect, and after walking for a long time, I haven't seen the towering city tower of Dongyang Gate. At this time, the carriage passed by a tea stall, and the stall owner steamed a few baskets of pork-stuffed buns and placed them at the corner of the street, and the aroma of the steamed was wafting everywhere, and it was running into the nostrils of Qiu Yi.
Qiu Yizhi smelled this delicacy, and his stomach muttered uncontrollably, which reminded him that he came out in a hurry and didn't even eat lunch. He walked outside the canopy and asked, "Miss Wen, I have a treat, but do you want to buy a few buns to satisfy your hunger?" ”
Wen Lingjiao also didn't eat, and she was also very hungry in her belly, and said softly: "Then there is Lao Gongzi." ”
He'er on the side said: "Childe is really good-looking, when has my young lady ever eaten such crude food?" ”
Qiu Yizhi didn't pay attention to He'er, walked straight to the tea stall, asked the stall owner to pick out fifteen or sixteen meat-stuffed buns, wrapped them in paper, and was just about to reach out and take out the money from his sleeve to pay the bill, when he suddenly remembered that he only had a handful of gold bars by his side, and it was absolutely inappropriate to buy a few buns.
Qiu Yizhi was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask Zhao Chengxiao if he could bring copper plates or scattered silver with him, but a person approached him, handed the stall owner a stack of copper plates, and said, "This son's bun is ready to be paid below." ”
Qiu Yizhi hurriedly turned his head to look, and it was Chi Lianghong, the elder brother of the righteous brother, standing beside him with a smile. Qiu Yizhi was really surprised and delighted to see this number one master in the martial arts, and said: "Brother is really fast, the younger brother only sent someone to find his brother yesterday, but he didn't expect to arrive today." ”
"Oh, so my brother was looking for me." Yu Chi Lianghong said, "However, the foolish brother was not summoned by his brother, but ......."
Halfway through Yu Chi Lianghong's words, Qiu Yizhi raised his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture, and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk, you and my brother have talked while walking." After that, he sent a bag of meat buns into the canopy, and pulled Yu Chi Lianghong side by side.
It turned out that after leaving the palace that day, Wei Chi Lianghong went back to his hometown, but he didn't expect that the news of Wang Zhonghai's death came in just a few days, and the emperor died a few days later. Wei Chi Lianghong felt that this matter was very strange, so he left home and rushed to the capital to ask Gu Erniang, who was traveling with him that night, to understand.
Hearing this, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly asked: "That night, my brother was also there, have you ever seen this Gu Erniang commit murder?" ”
Yu Chi Lianghong frowned, thought about it, and replied, "Brother Fool didn't see it with his own eyes. I remember that not long after the brother entered the house with Gu Erniang and the maid of the saint, this Gu Erniang came out alone. The foolish brother asked her what she was doing at the time, but she said that she was going to Xiaojie. The foolish brother was inconvenient to follow the surveillance, and he wanted to protect his brother's safety, so he ignored her. After half a bowl of tea, Gu Erniang came back, so the foolish brother didn't take it to heart at that time. But now that I think about it, if it was really her killing the king, it should have been done at this time. ”
Qiu Yizhi savored it carefully and said, "Brother's analysis is really meticulous. However, finding the killer is not the most urgent thing at the moment. The younger brother's father-in-law, Prince Youyan was framed by a traitor and is now trapped in the prison of the Criminal Department, my brother must know about this, right? ”
Yu Chi Lianghong nodded and said, "Brother Fool already knew last night. The people in the rivers and lakes inside and outside Luoyang all said that the prince of Youyan was wronged, and he couldn't let the traitorous ministers run rampant, and he was planning to rob the law field together to save the prince. The foolish brother thought that this matter was very important, so he suppressed this group of high-rollers. I also thought that with my brother's loyalty, if such a big event happened, my brother would be in the capital, so I rushed here, not wanting to meet next to this tea stall......" Speaking of this, Yu Chi Lianghong smiled, "How many times has my brother said that I want to invite my foolish brother to dinner, but even this time, my foolish brother has invited you twice!" ”
Qiu Yizhi smiled when he heard this, but after all, he was full of worries, and said with a tense face: "The younger brother is having a way to save my father-in-law, and now that my brother is by my side to help, the odds of winning have increased by a few points, God really helps me!" ”
Yu Chi Lianghong said: "The name of the prince of Youyan is all over the world, even if the brother doesn't say it, the foolish brother always has to find a way to save the prince." Since there is now a brother's mastermind, then this matter is half of the success, what does the brother command, the foolish brother does not have half a 'no' word! ”
Wei Chi Lianghong's words made Qiu Yizhi slightly relieved, and said: "Now is not the time for Brother Labor. But my younger brother is just going to meet my father-in-law's chief strategist, would my brother be interested in meeting him for a while? ”
