Chapter 104: Road Encounter
Yuan Zheng watched Yiqiu and Shen Chi and his party go away, until the people turned and disappeared, and still felt that there was a figure of Mulan Qing in front of him, whirling around on the misty winter streets, which made him greedy.
Cheng Ye stood not far behind him, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if he remembered for a moment that a person led the Qinghu Lion and took a handkerchief embroidered with extremely thick benzene, as if he remembered the worry in his uncle's eyes when he mentioned Cousin Qiu, for her, whether it was the emperor or Zu Yong, which one was excellent and which one was not good.
"Zhang Ping, prepare two horses, I want to ride them."
The emperor turned his head and shouted to Zhang Ping, with a residual warmth and joy in his eyes.
The emperor, like Cheng Ye, came in a carriage, and at this time, in the remote area of Kyoto, how could there be a ready-made horse to ride.
Zhang Ping was so embarrassed that he had to bring two horses for the guards with his mouth flat, wanting to persuade him to say a few words about the dangers of horseback riding.
Unexpectedly, the emperor immediately turned over and got on his horse, and said to Zhang Ping and the guards:
"Master Wei walks with me, he will protect me, you go back to the palace first."
Zhang Ping stretched his neck in fright, and said loudly to the two people who had already blown away in the dust:
"The emperor, the emperor, the queen mother, her old man is to blame......"
For a while, he realized that the emperor could not hear it, so he shouted angrily to the guards who gathered around:
"Hurry, hurry, keep up from afar, if something happens, you can't afford these two heavy bones!"
The emperor was wearing civilian clothes, which were not conspicuous on the streets with more and more carriages and horses, and the two of them galloped through the streets and alleys several times, and had already thrown off the guards who followed behind them.
The emperor felt as if he had never been so unrestrained for a moment, so he and Cheng Ye stopped by the side of the street and couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Ye sighed angrily and whispered:
"The minister felt that he was a lot older when he went to the outside of the country, and the emperor was getting more and more childish."
The emperor also gave him a blank look, but he was not angry at all.
At this time, it was almost noon, the thin white fog gradually faded, and the signboards of the shops on both sides of the street became clearer.
"Do you remember eating like that? The bone-in abalone snail of Dechang Kee. ”
Cheng Ye sneered and nodded, "Remember." ”
One of them is the proton of the vassal king in the capital, and the other is the little young master who is taken care of by Mrs. Wei in every way in the hairpin mansion, and no one is free.
That year, when the Tuxilu rebellion was put down, Wei Chengxuan stayed in Beijing for a whole month, and was so entangled by the two of them that he secretly took them out to eat Dechang Ji's dim sum.
The reason why I still remember the sweet taste is because after returning home, the two of them were punished by Mrs. Wei for copying books all night, and Brother Chengxuan knelt in the courtyard all night.
The Wei family took special care of the proton of King Li, in fact, Cheng Ye was taken out of the house by Cheng Xuan more than once in the past, but only this time, they took the emperor who was still the king of Zhengjun out of the house, and was severely punished, and never dared to commit it again.
"It's a pity that the store of Dechang Kee is not near here."
Cheng Ye's words were a little gloomy, and the emperor knew that he thought of Cheng Xuan, so he stretched out his hand and shook his shoulder.
"Stand back!"
The Emperor suddenly shouted.
When Cheng Ye looked up, he found a group of officers and soldiers on horseback galloping from afar on the street, and the pedestrians and vendors on both sides of the street were so frightened that they fled in all directions, screaming again and again.
Cheng Ye instinctively hid the emperor and his mount behind him, only to see the officers and soldiers passing by, and an elderly woman with a bamboo basket dodged slowly, and was almost kicked in the back by the flying horses' hooves.
He swept across his horse, leaned forward on the horse's back, and with a force of his arm, pulled the old woman aside to avoid the trampling of the horse's hooves.
Cheng Ye's horse and the soldier crossed by the neck, and the opponent's horse neighed loudly in fright and soared into the air, and the soldier was instantly thrown off the horse.
"Little Wang's eight cubs, do you dare to hit the official's horse?"
The soldier seemed to have fallen hard, and sat on the ground and opened his mouth to curse.
His companions also gathered around, just because they saw that although the two young men in front of him were young, they were dressed luxuriously and magnificently, and they were obviously either rich or expensive. For fear of offending people by being reckless, he started beating people immediately before he was talented.
If it had been an ordinary person, he would have been whipped down with a horsewhip a long time ago.
To their surprise, the young man who stopped him was even more arrogant, and his face did not move, but he whipped the soldier who was sitting on the ground.
"Shut up!"
The other young man behind him had a gloomy face at this time, and he took two steps forward and asked:
"Which yamen are you from?"
"Yo he......"
The soldier sitting on the ground had a sinister smile on his face and was about to open his mouth to curse, but a man in uniform raised his hand on his horse to stop him.
He could see that the two teenagers in front of him had an extraordinary temperament, and the horses under the seat were also good horses, but he couldn't guess where they came.
But no matter which dignitary and nobleman's son is, his status is much higher than that of these errands, how dare he let this fool with no long brains scold on the street.
"The two sons, who are sent by the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, are about to detain a key criminal at the moment, but they are in a hurry, and they collide with the two sons and this mother-in-law, and they have made amends to a few of them here."
So saying, the leader jumped off his horse, bowed to them both, and then went up to the frightened old woman, stooped down, and asked:
"Mother-in-law, what injuries have you suffered? Do I need to see a doctor and prescribe medication? ”
The old woman trembled all over, and kept waving her hands and replied, "Don't dare, don't dare...... Didn't hurt. ”
The leader turned around and smiled apologetically at Cheng Ye and Yuan Zheng, not realizing that the old woman behind him had been so frightened that her legs were weak and tears flowed.
The leader looked around and said:
"Not only this old woman, but everyone on the road today, if you are injured by a horse, you can go to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to find it, and my grandson Lao Dao will be responsible for it to the end."
The surrounding people instinctively shook their heads and waved their hands, and there was a bit of fear in their eyes.
"Hmph", Cheng Ye sneered and jumped off the horse, "They are ordinary people, even if they are really injured, who dares to go to the yamen to find someone to ask for guilt, you don't have to scare them." ”
Sun Laodao also looked solemn, he had already made such a concession, he got off the horse and made compensation, promised to be responsible to the end, and these two little sons had to be unforgiving.
"The two sons, there is indeed something important to do today, the adults are waiting in the yamen, if the two of them are also impacted, they can also go to the yamen at any time in the future to find them."
Sun Laodao said the same thing.
It's not wrong today, it's these two teenagers who deliberately provoke.
Even if it really gets into trouble in the yamen in the future, there is nothing wrong with him.
What's more, the elders of the two of them may not be willing to make a big deal out of it, who would go to the yamen because of the young man's nonsense.
Although the capital is large and there are many powerful and wealthy families, their Shuntianfu Yamen is not vegetarian.
"Shuntianfu Yamen, then let's go to the yamen today to sit down."
The leader followed the voice, and saw the young man still on horseback, with a beautiful and pale face, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and his heart trembled inexplicably.
These two teenagers give him a very strange feeling, and their behavior is obviously very domineering, but they seem to be full of rules and regulations, which makes people very unpredictable, but they are not like the second ancestor of ordinary powerful families.
Hearing this, Cheng Ye's eyes flashed suddenly, and he stretched out his hand viciously at Sun Laodao:
"Didn't you say to get people? Let me check the arrest papers. ”
Sun Laodao wanted to ignore the two of them and leave, but when he heard the young man's request, he couldn't help but feel a vicious anger overflowing in his chest, thinking that it would be better to scare them with this document, so as not to mess around on this street, but delay the master's business.
He took out the paperwork from his bosom and deliberately shook the paper in front of everyone, and then handed it over condescendingly.
Cheng Ye glanced at the paperwork but couldn't help pursing his lips and said:
"Then don't go, I'm the one you're looking for, let's go."
The emperor took the document handed by Cheng Ye and glanced at it hurriedly, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he glared at Cheng Ye with interest and said:
"Second master, the villain is your personal guard, I must follow you to protect you today."
