72, the mastermind behind the scenes, the eccentric old man

The two men, after splashing the contents of the bucket, clapped their hands, threw the bucket, stood in front of the proposing procession, and said,

"The girl in this family has been abducted and trafficked, and she is not an innocent good girl at all, and she is still a fateful person, our brothers risked their lives to remind you, otherwise it will be too late after the marriage."

The two men were dressed in short beatings, and they looked either street helpers or migrant laborers working as coolies on the docks.

They deliberately made trouble in this way in order to disgrace the woman who was proposed.

On both sides of the road were crowds of onlookers, countless pairs of eyes staring at the nobles who came to propose marriage in the Jin Palace, and the ice medium at the head was the first time to see such a thing.

Because there is a marriage, these are just going through the motions, so that the woman looks better, so that everyone knows that the man values the woman very much.

In the crowd, Gu Ci saw someone splashing dog blood on the gate of Marquis Anyuan's mansion, and a wave of happiness surged in her heart.

It has been half a year since she withdrew from the circle of nobles in the capital, and almost no one asked, and after the accident in the house, those people stopped communicating directly.

Now, no one pays attention to her at all, and the family still lives in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion.

She has now figured out that without a noble identity, no matter how smart she is, it is useless to be exquisite.

There was no weight in the hearts of those noble girls.

As for Gu Nian, no matter how bad her reputation is, she can still have the emperor's marriage, and the man actually went through the marriage procedure in order to make her face.

Gu Ci pursed her lips, and she didn't feel pain when her fingernails were pinched into her flesh.

Why?

She is more beautiful and gentle than Gu Nian, although the Gu family has fallen now, she has done a good job.

Gu Ci bit her lip, why, why is this happening?

Gu Nian, how could such a person get a husband like His Royal Highness King Jin. And her, her mother said that in the future, she may not even be able to marry the son of a petty official.

Gu Ci's eyes seemed to be moving, and his heart seemed to be roasted on the fire, so tormented.

Before the ice media could make any moves, the British Duke stepped forward and said, "Who is so bold?" You don't know if you are slandering, and if you treat the Hou Mansion like this, you will be guilty of the following crimes, and you can be arrested and put in prison. ”

The eyes of the two flickered, hiding and hiding, "Since we dare to do it, we dare to bear it." The more he spoke, the lower he became.

The two of them knew very well what His Royal Highness King Jin was, and no one provoked them at all, but the silver was too tempting, and the two of them really couldn't resist the temptation of money and took over the business.

However, this is not at all different from what the man said, the other party said that there were no big people coming, and let them splash two buckets of dog blood and run away.

It's just that why are there so many royal relatives?

The two of them trembled involuntarily.

Today is a good day for everything, and the day before, Concubine Ji came over with a post, saying that she would come to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion the next day to propose marriage.

The Jin Palace's Mansion has to make face, and the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion naturally has to cooperate, Gu Shi'an has not returned, and the Marquis of An Yuan simply asked for leave and did not go to the court, waiting for the arrival of the matchmaker at home.

The house was also cleaned up and down, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this juncture.

After An Yuanhou heard this, he came out of the side door with the housekeeper, looking at everything in front of him, with an angry face.

On the vermilion gate, as well as on the stone lion at the door, there was dog blood, and the onlookers pointed and pointed, and his heart swelled up, blocking there, he hated to beat those two villains.

The Marquis of Anyuan Mansion was given by the founding ancestor, until now, the family has always been kind to others, and he is a low-key duty, who is so vicious that he actually instructed these gangsters to make trouble.

If today's affairs are not handled well, it will be a shame for the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, and it will also make Gu Nian be ridiculed forever.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and the onlookers looked in the direction of the horses' hooves.

I saw the owner of the horse jump down from the horse, and in front of the two gangsters who splashed the blood of the dog, his face was covered with frost, his chin was high, and he looked at the two of them, and said,

Who gave you the courage to make trouble at the king's propose? ”

The two men's faces stiffened slightly, their feet began to tremble, they swallowed, and said, "No one instructs, we ...... We just can't stand it, and we don't want you to be in the dark. ”

Xiao Yue smiled lightly, his voice was like ice, "Oh? No one? Very good. ”

He said to the dark behind him, "Let these two clean the door." ”

Dark One stepped forward, one in each hand, and pushed the two men to the door. The fishy smell on the door made the two of them cover their noses and retreat.

The actions of the two made Dark One very displeased, and he shouted, "Hurry up and clean it up." ”

One of the two men stumbled and said, "You guys...... Even the people of the royal palace should not bully others. The man, holding his neck, shouted.

Xiao Yue said impatiently on the side, "It's a bastard if you have power, you reason with this king?" This king has three things not to talk about, not to reason with the dead, not to reason with beasts, you are the beasts, so save your saliva. ”

After speaking, he looked at the dark one and said, "What are you rubbing?" They didn't want to get it clean, so they let them lick it clean. ”

When he heard this, he forced the heads of the two to stick to the door, so that they could clean up the dog blood that had been spilled.

Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, the two men began to clean up, forced to wipe the blood clean with their clothes, and if they couldn't, they had to use their lips to clean it.

The British Duke and several concubines immediately stepped forward to dissuade him, "Lord Wang, is it too much for you to do this in front of everyone?" ”

Xiao Yue glanced coldly at the colt who spoke, it was the husband of the eldest princess of Taining in the British Mansion, "Why don't I know?" ”

He didn't care about a good reputation or anything like that, and he didn't need to maintain it, all his glory was won by his own hands.

It was exchanged for a sword in the hands of Emperor Yongping.

He didn't have to reason with those who wanted to ruin his wife's reputation.

He rushed darkly, "Don't think about leaving here half a step if you don't clean it up." ”

Dark one grabbed the hands of the two of them and forced, and the two troublesome men suddenly screamed, and the onlookers on the side were also frightened.

British justice, "I can understand that you want to avenge the five girls, but you will definitely have the imperial history to impeach you tomorrow for bullying people and the common people......"

Xiao Yue suddenly laughed and looked at the British Duke defiantly, "Then let's see what the hell is, Grandpa Guo, it's very interesting to deceive yourself?" They could have tried to impeach me, and what would have happened. ”

"What can they do to me?" Xiao Yue said lightly.

Half an hour later, the two men collapsed to the ground with earthy faces, vomiting repeatedly.

"Get out." Dark one kicked one by one, kicking the two of them twice, "Do you still want to send you to prison?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the two men ran away like frightened rabbits.

The two men left, and Dark One did not return to Xiao Yue's side, but followed in the direction where the two left.

When the two of them left just now, Xiao Yue gave him a look and asked him to follow the two of them, trying to pry open their mouths, who instructed them.

The crowd of onlookers saw that the two of them had run away, and there was no good show to watch, so they dispersed one after another.

Over there, Marquis An Yuan quietly watched Xiao Yue's treatment of the two of them, and after the crowd dispersed, he said to Xiao Yue, "Lord Wang, let's go into the house and drink tea." ”

It seems that this prince is still good to his niece, and he can come in time to deal with this matter.

An Yuanhou is still complicated about Gu Nian, but now that she can have a good home, he is still very relieved.

At the beginning, her mother asked her to look for it in the petty officials, but now, the dust has finally settled.

After everyone sat down, everyone looked at each other, Xiao Yue just came to relieve the siege, he didn't want to leave at all, but it was the first time to bring a matchmaker to propose marriage.

However, Xiao Yue thought about it, and still said to An Yuanhou, "If this is not in accordance with the rules, this king will leave first." After saying goodbye to everyone, he turned over his horse and galloped away.

After the British fathers and sons, as well as other horses, sat down in the hall of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, the eldest princess of the protector also came, and everyone inevitably saluted according to their seniority.

After they sat down, the master of ceremonies read the bride price booklet, and after it was over, the British princess was not polite, and solemnly said to the princess of the country,

"The girl of your mansion, Li Lan Yuanzhi, virtuous Shuhui, and Hui Zhilanxin, is really a good match, I was personally asked by the emperor and Concubine Ji to come to the door for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to propose to the girl of your mansion ......"

Although it is just a process, it is really difficult to make the process so formal.

Among the people who came to propose today, in addition to the British prince, there are two marquis and three horse masters, which are also very large.

Everyone knew that the emperor loved His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but they didn't expect it to hurt so much that they even interfered in the marriage of the King of Jin, and specially sent so many people to propose marriage.

If it weren't for the previous holy decree, those who don't know would still think that they are oppressive with force.

At least, this kind of battle is unprecedented.

After the British Duke finished speaking, he took out a big red and gold-sprinkled paper fold from his sleeve, handed it to the princess of the protector with both hands, and then said, "If the princess and the marquis do not dislike the meagre grass of the Jin Wangfu, I will ask for a Geng post for Gu Wu on behalf of His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

The eldest princess of the protector took the Geng post, opened it and took a brief look, with a look of satisfaction on her face, and said, "What do you dislike or not, speaking of which, our family is still high, and everyone knows what her father is like now." ”

"Everyone is their own people, and they don't hide it, although she is also of royal blood, but now her identity is unknown, it is an embarrassing time, thanks to the emperor's fancie, the Jin Wangfu is such a fanfare, speaking of which, Nian Nian is still not worthy of His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

Actually, the princess of the protector is a kind word, but it's not okay to say a kind word, anyway, it's a fact that everyone knows, so I don't bother to hide it.

When the British princess heard the eldest princess of the protector mention Gu Shi'an, his heart was gloomy, "It's a pity that the virtuous nephew can't see today's scene, and I only look forward to his daughter getting married in the future, and he can return to Beijing." ”

The eldest princess of the protector was also hot, she looked at the British prince without moving, and when he mentioned Gu Shi'an, he was full of love.

And his eyes, because of some age, and a little cloudy, are not as sharp as the old lady said, only peaceful.

She was suspicious in her heart, and said that the British Duke was the most likely, but it didn't look right at all now.

And the person sent to keep an eye on the British Duke has always said that his routine is very normal, and he rarely sees outsiders.

After Xiao Yue left from the gate of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, he went straight to the private house in Liyu Hutong.

"Lord Wang, those two thugs have been subdued and arrested, and the dark thirteen have finished interrogating, and they don't know about the people behind them."

"Don't know?" Xiao Yue narrowed his eyes slightly.

He thought of his mother, Concubine Ji, who gritted her teeth and said that she would make her unforgettable for life.

In this way, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

"They said that the other party never revealed their identities and only gave them a sum of silver."

The wealth is moving, and Xiao Yue is not surprised at all.

The other party is looking for two street gangsters to make trouble, isn't it just an calculation that he won't stick to after the fact?

It's very rare to get something useful out of the mouths of two thugs.

However, the matter is man-made, he said lightly, "Since the other party has not revealed his identity, there is always a connector." Draw a portrait of this connector. ”

"There is no impermeable wall in this world, the key is to spend enough thoughts, while painting a portrait, to investigate."

"Make sure you get this guy out."

Since he wants to marry her, he must not be able to hurt her at all.

This time, he wants to find people first, kill them as an example, and if he wants to bully Gu Nian, then he will pass his own level first.

*

In less than half a day, the news that the British Duke went to the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion to propose marriage for His Royal Highness the King of Jin spread throughout the capital, and of course there was the section of pouring dog blood all over the capital.

The British Duchess, the British Duchess knew about the British Duchess going to propose, and at that time, it was Concubine Ji who found her and asked her to talk to the British Duke, originally, she thought that the British Guild would refuse.

After all, after so many years, many people wanted to ask him to be a matchmaker, but he refused all of them.

Unexpectedly, she just casually forwarded Concubine Ji's words to him, and he didn't hesitate without any hesitation, and agreed in one bite.

It's just that after going to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion to propose, the British duke did not return home directly, but stayed in a tavern for a long time, until the night was dark, he rode a horse alone, went out of the city gate, and went in the direction of the suburbs, and his figure quickly disappeared into the thick night.

Every day at Izumo Temple, there is a ritual to be done, and late at night, the abbot of Izumoji does not fall asleep, but waits until an elderly man enters a secret meditation room in Izumo Temple alone.

After the door was closed, the figure of the old man disappeared behind the door, and in today's capital, although there were a little twists and turns in the happy event, the result was good.

Deeper at night, the old tree was dim, and the figure of the old man stood there, for a long time, for a long time, before he finally moved.

He pushed open the door to the ashram, and with a slight 'squeak', a puff of dust drifted into his nostrils and into his heart.

"I'm back."

"His children are about to get married, and time flies so fast."

"I don't know my old self anymore, but I can't go to see you."

"It's just that I'm afraid to see you, I don't have face."

In the darkness, he stood there, as if muttering to himself, and finally, exhaling heavily from his chest.

Regarding what happened on the day when the Jin Wangfu went to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion to propose marriage, it has been discussed endlessly in the capital, and everyone is concerned about the two gangsters, who are so bold that they dare to destroy the marriage proposal of His Royal Highness the Killing God.

It's just that after such a thing was discussed for a few days, the two gangsters appeared on the street one day and pointed out the people behind the scenes who let them go to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion to pour dog blood, and the capital was in an uproar, although they knew that there were cats inside, but they didn't expect the truth to be like this.
