At the gate of the capital, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the city under the setting sun, facing the last glow, and crushed into a mottled light wave that fell to the ground.

"It's time to the capital, prince, please invite yourself." As soon as the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing the beautiful face of Fox Xiaoqi, she pointed to the east end of the city, pursed her lips and smirked: "I am really wronged that the prince has succumbed to our little carriage, oh, the road of the palace is at that end." "Not by the way!

Mu Yuanche lay crookedly in the carriage, without the slightest consciousness of getting up, and said with wide eyes: "Xiao Qi, are you going to throw it away when you run out?" ”

Hu Xiaoqi's face was full of shock, how could there be such a brazen person in the world, "You say it clearly." ”

Mu Yuanche smiled ruffianly: "Hey! That's it. ”

"Didn't you just help us block it, don't say it so ambiguously." Fox Xiaoqi kicked over, and the action became more and more smooth.

Mu Yuanche also cultivated a tacit understanding, immediately dodged, and silently stretched out two fingers, and shook it with a hippie smile: "It's twice." ”

Hu Xiaoqi was depressed, shook the door curtain and sat in the corner of the carriage without speaking.

"Eh......" Mu Yuan saw that the fox Xiaoqi was angry, leaned over and tilted his head and said, "Xiaoqi? Little daughter-in-law? Little Seventh Daughter-in-law—"

"Get out!" In one go, someone who kicked screamed.

Mu Yuanche rubbed his thighs and made a bitter face: "Your habit is not good, if you kick in a place where you shouldn't kick, what will you do?" ”

"What should I do?" Fox Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Do you want to treat you now?" The silver light flashed, and there was an extra silver needle between his fingers, shining with a sharp edge.

Mu Yuanche's heart jumped, and he shook his head insensitively: "No need...... Finish...... bar. ”

Fox Xiaoqi snorted, turned his head away, and did not forget to threaten: "Talk nonsense in the future, see how I clean you up." ”

Mu Yuanche touched his chest, suddenly laughed, and turned his head inexplicably, with a face written on whether this person was stupid or not.

"Xiao Qi, don't you think you have such a ...... tone" Mu Yuanche blinked, leaned over with a shy face and said, "It's not like a little daughter-in-law." ”

Fox Xiaoqi choked for a moment, and after thinking about it, he felt that it did have a little taste, and his face turned red after a bang, this and this...... This man is too much of a disciple to know what to do!

Hu Xiaoqi regretted it a little, he knew that it was better for her to go to the yamen with her, and it was better than being in the same carriage with Mu Yuanche, and giving a cheap meal in vain.

After the robbery in the countryside, they sent the people to the Yamen, but at noon the Yamen came back with a message that the prisoner hanged himself in prison, and Jiang Cheng decided to leave for Beijing immediately.

However, on the way, I actually encountered a group of mountain bandits who robbed with knives.

Fortunately, one of the officials who went out to patrol also passed this road, and with a large number of guards, half of the mountain bandits were killed, and the rest fled in the desert and hid in the mountains and forests.

Because this incident alarmed the county government of that county, Jiang Cheng stayed to explain the development of the matter, and did not go with Hu Xiaoqi and them.

"Count it out three times, Xiao Qi, are your brothers and sisters not good for the past few years?" Mu Yuanche rubbed a little past, and then rubbed a little more.

Hu Xiaoqi lowered her head and thought about it for a while, she also felt that this matter was strange, she was robbed three times in a row, is this probability a little low, as soon as she looked up and wanted to say something, her nose almost hit Mu Yuanche's chin, and her eyes glared: "What are you doing?" ”

Mu Yuanche said with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to hear you when I'm far away." ”

The fox Xiaoqi was messy in the wind, and the carriage sat at two ends, and she still felt that it was good to squeeze it, "Get rough!" ”

"Master Pudu of Yan Chong Temple has profound Buddhism, specializing in driving away evil spirits and demons, how about I accompany you to incense the day after tomorrow?" Mu Yuanche said with a flattering face.

Fox Xiaoqi frowned slightly: "I don't ......"

"That's it." Mu Yuanche got up and walked out of the carriage, and when the hand that opened the carriage curtain was released, he turned around again and said, "By the way, there is something I forgot." ”

Hu Xiaoqi pursed his lips, and said in his heart Who told you to decide, you go by yourself, the old lady has no time to serve you, a shameless disciple.

"Here's for you." Fox Xiaoqi's eyes flickered, and a yellow silk thread dangled from Mu Yuanche's fingers and hung down, and on top was a small triangular purse.

Hu Xiaoqi's heart was resistant, and he couldn't stand Mu Yuanche stuffing it into her hand, and she couldn't refuse at all, in Hu Xiaoqi's stunned kung fu, Mu Yuanche jumped directly from the carriage, and a grinning voice came from outside: "This is my talisman, I will protect you in the future." ”

Fox Xiaoqi grabbed the small amulet and made a throwing motion, but the hand was thrown out, and the small thing in her palm was not thrown away, she took it back and spread it out in front of her eyes, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled-hacker

This disciple said what he was protecting her, thinking who he was.

After Mu Yuanche jumped down from the carriage, he was in a very good mood and hummed a little song back to the palace, just entered the door, habitually teased the maids of the palace all the way, came to the front hall and sat down, shook Erlang's legs and drank tea, and the old manager of the palace ran over tremblingly.

"Yo, Uncle Qin, you don't have to be so excited to see the master come back." Mu Yuanche looked at the old boss Uncle Qin's fingers trembling, and teased with a smile.

The old manager sighed helplessly, this little prince is good at everything, but he is immature, there are always some hangers, he is so old and he doesn't know how to marry a wife, and he is messing with a few gentlemen in Beijing all day long, he is sorry for the deceased mother......

If Mu Yuanche heard the voice of the old manager, he would definitely refute it, his brother has not married a wife and had children, and it will not be his turn to inherit the lineage.

Mu Yuanche blew the tea leaves: "Uncle Qin, if the palace is fine in the past two days, I will ...... the day after tomorrow."

"Something! Event! The old manager did not wait for him to finish speaking, and emphasized in a serious tone.

Mu Yuanche took a sip of tea on the tip of his tongue and swallowed it slowly, tilted his head up, and said unhappily: "What's the matter?" ”

The old manager glanced out, walked closer, and covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Lord Wang, something is wrong." ”

Mu Yuanche thought that the boss was in charge of everything, so he made a little fuss, and the slightest triviality could be regarded as the sky falling, and said in a nonchalant tone: "The old man is sick, or has the palace been struck by lightning?" ”

The old manager's brows jumped fiercely, and he said in shock: "Ouch, lord, don't talk nonsense, if it gets out, it will be amazing!" ”

"I can't speak in my own palace, so it's okay, I'll kill you if you suffocate me." Mu Yuanche smashed his mouth and spread his hands.

The old manager waved his hand, and now he didn't say this, so he suppressed his voice and said, "It's the prince who has an accident!" ”

"Prince?" Mu Yuanche clasped the teacup with his fingers, supported his chin with one hand, and said with a flash of urgency in his eyes: "Whose girl slept with this time was caught by the old man?" ”

Originally, Mu Yuanche was joking, but after he finished speaking, he saw the boss's indescribable expression, and said with wide eyes: "No, really?" ”

The old manager nodded with an old face, "Last night, King Duan gave Princess Duan a birthday banquet, and most people in Beijing went." ”

Mu Yuanche knew about this matter, King Duan gave a post to the honorable families in the capital, and the Chunwang Mansion was both affectionate and reasonable, but Mu Yuanche did not attend because "my brother had an accident and was upset", and finally the old manager prepared a decent gift to send over.

Mu Yuanche's eyes rolled, touched his chin and smiled, "This time, did Mu Jingyu get drunk and break into the lady's changing room, or did he have an affair with someone?" ”

"Neither." The old manager's face was a little strange, and he hesitated: "The prince broke into the courtyard drunk. ”

"Oh~ Hanlian Courtyard......" Mu Yuanche realized it later, and shouted when he reacted: "Hanlian Yuan? "Wocao, isn't that the old man's harem?

The expression on the old manager's face was a little subtle: "It was discovered by the palace maid of Hanlian Courtyard early in the morning, which alarmed the harem guards...... Later, the palace maids and eunuchs of the entire Hanlian Courtyard saw the prince and the nobles in the room......"

Mu Yuanche slapped it on the table: "Damn, it's so exciting, Lao Tzu didn't even watch it." ”

The old manager clenched his fist against his lips and coughed a few times, and there was no place to put his old face, "Lord Wang, the old slave thinks this matter is strange. ”

"That must be strange, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the prince actually fell in love with the old man's woman, hahaha...... Brave enough. Mu Yuanche sighed twice, and there was still regret in his tone.

The old manager shook his head, swallowed back the words in his mouth, Prince Chun didn't have so many eyes, he just reminded him and didn't say a few words, I really don't know how to develop his temperament, it's not like a prince raised in the deep palace, but a son who doesn't know the world from an ordinary person outside.

"Lao Tzu has been gone for more than a day, and such a big news has been exposed in the capital...... Alas...... If it weren't for 'the royal brother hasn't been found yet', I really want to go to the East Palace to see what Mu Jingyu looks like now, it must be very interesting haha. Mu Yuanche declared that he was closed to the outside world and did not accept outsiders, the reason was that he was not in the mood at first, and the ghost knew that he went out of the back door every day and walked around the street.

The old manager said secretively: "Lord Wang, you can't, the East Palace can't be touched now." ”

Mu Yuanche asked differently when he heard it, and said strangely: "Huh? What's going on here? ”

"This was supposed to be suppressed in the morning, but after noon, another incident happened." The old manager raised his chin and pointed in a certain direction, "The wall of the west courtyard of Cheng Shangshu's house suddenly collapsed, and when the guards passed, they accidentally found a pit, dragged a corpse out of the pit, and then reported to ......Lord Chao of Dali Temple."

"What a coincidence." Mu Jingyu is also unlucky, you must know that Cheng Zhong, the secretary of the ministry, is his own uncle.

The old manager frowned: "Not only that, Lord Chao sent people to investigate the next level, and found a total of more than a dozen corpses, all of which were girls who were not in time......"

Mu Yuanche opened his mouth wide and didn't ease his mind for a long time, and finally understood, the tea bowl on the table smashed with a fist, and he said: "Grass, this is not a person!" ”
