Chapter Seventy-One: Leaving home for many years is a spy
The tavern owner stood in the corner and kept greeting Xiao Er, who couldn't swallow his saliva and answered truthfully by Xiao Huai'an's side.
"But after drinking a jar, His Highness was obviously a little drunk, and the little ones wanted to persuade her not to drink anymore, so they scolded him,"
"After I came back, it was these people, who happened to sit at the table near His Highness, as if to say that a spicy woman is not as easy to control as a gentle woman, and also mentioned some new young nuns in the Lotus Temple,"
"Actually, it's just some rambling between the market, but somehow, the third prince took it and picked up the wine glass and knocked it on that person's head." As he spoke, Xiao Ershun pointed to the few thugs in the store who were waiting for the doctor to bandage their injuries.
A total of four people were injured by Xu Rulie, three of them accidentally hit the table, but the person Xiao Er was referring to had blood oozing from his forehead, presumably he was injured by Xu Rulie with a cup.
"I see." Su Lian had just punished the queen mother to the Lotus Temple to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and these people were talking like this here, no wonder Xu Rulie would get angry with the wine.
The person pointed out by Xiao Er was sturdy, but he looked shorter than the others, his skin was a little dark, and the whites of his eyes were very obvious.
It's just that the arrangement of these facial features is not quite the same as that of Daze people, Xiao Huai'an only glanced at it, and found that this person has many differences with the other three gangsters.
The man was busy waiting for the doctor to come over to bandage it, but when he looked up, he suddenly saw Xiao Huai'an's sight, and he lowered his head weakly. Xiao Huai'an looked more and more strange, and walked up to ask a condescending question.
"You are the one who had a quarrel with the Third Highness this afternoon?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, the little ones are just unintentionally bumping and bruising, and they have nothing to do with the Third Highness." The man hurriedly shook his head and denied what he said, so that the three brothers next to him were stunned. And noticing his gaze, those people also echoed.
"You don't have to be nervous, this official and Lord Taiwei don't want to pursue you for the sake of His Royal Highness, but they just need you to give real testimony, so that we can mediate in the future."
Seeing his obvious weakness of heart, Xiao Huai'an couldn't help but narrow his eyes and walked closer and closer to the man, but at this moment, Lord Taiwei, who was standing aside and waiting, came over and successfully interrupted.
"Master Xiao, you don't have to continue to ask, the main reason why they say this is that they don't want to pursue it any further, so we might as well just push the boat with the flow, turn big things into small things, and turn small things into nothing."
"What this adult said is very true, we didn't speak properly, and we inadvertently offended the three princes, the little ones don't dare to pursue it, and ask the adults to take care of the drunk Three Princes First, the small ones have also healed their injuries, I don't know if the little ones can go first."
Xiao Huai'an heard Lord Taiwei's words and was about to refute it, but the suspicious person saw the help of the stitches. The Captain nodded in satisfaction, and the man left the tavern under the escort of the official.
"It's the captain, isn't it too hasty to let them go so easily?" Xiao Huai'an didn't even have time to stop it, and chased the satisfied Lord Taiwei out of the tavern, but behind him, Liang Xin was already gone.
"Although these people are gangsters in the market, they are also victims of this incident, is it possible that we still chase the victims and check non-stop?" It was the captain who waved his hand, and even a little disgusted that he was so calculating.
The tavern owner watched the thugs run away, and didn't dare to ask Xu Rulie, who was still asleep, to ask for compensation, holding the broken wine jar, and pitifully came to the side of the captain.
"Lord Taiwei is kind-hearted, but the small shop is originally a small business, what can I do with these smashed things, please ask Lord Taiwei to be the master of the small one."
"You," it was the Tai Wei who turned around with his eyebrows, pointing at the tavern owner but it was difficult to say anything, and then he turned his head and happened to be face to face with Xiao Huai'an.
Lord Taiwei rolled his eyes, put his hands into his sleeves, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not such an unreasonable person, and when he wakes up, you will write down the price of the broken things and send them to His Highness's mansion, and His Highness will naturally calculate it for you." ”
"What? But ......" the tavernkeeper's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was about to say anything more after him, when the captain had already got into the carriage and shouted.
"Even if the case is mediated privately, Master Lao Xiao will go back to make a record, and the official will leave first."
Thinking about how heroic the doctor was at the beginning, although he had never seen it with his own eyes, but when he mentioned him at the beginning, no one did not give a thumbs up, who would have thought that he would be so afraid of things today.
Xiao Huai'an looked at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, and only felt mixed in his heart, "That's it, how many things are broken in your store, this official will pay for His Royal Highness first." ”
"Xiao Huai'an?" Just as Xiao Huai'an was stretching out his hand to pay the money, Xu Rulie's voice suddenly came from behind.
In the end, it was the sobering soup in the tavern, the effect was good, Xiao Huai'an heard the sound and saw that Xu Rulie could already stand up with his groggy head on his own.
"What did you say to pay for His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is not the one who waited to eat the overlord's meal, can't His Highness pay it clearly?" Standing up suddenly, he was still a little dizzy, and Xu Rulie hurriedly grabbed the edge of the table with one hand, so as not to sit back down.
Seeing this, since Xu Rulie refused to appreciate it, Xiao Huai'an, who originally wanted to take out the money bag, took his hand back again, and asked the tavern owner next to him to look at the pain in his flesh, and his facial features were wrinkled together.
"Naturally, the matter of His Royal Highness injuring people has been settled by Lord Taiwei and this official, so please ask Your Highness to solve the loss in this tavern by himself."
"Hmph, they deserved those people just now, and they don't need you to come here to pretend to be good." Xu Rulie shook his head, Xiao Erlian hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, a cup of cold water on his stomach, and his mind was a little sober.
Xiao Huai'an put one hand behind his back, straightened his chest, and looked at Xu Rulie with slightly lowered eyes, "Your Highness, do you need this official to send someone to send you back?" ”
"No, His Highness himself can." Xu Rulie raised his head and met his gaze directly. Anyway, Xiao Huai'an was just politely greeting, and when he heard this, he just pushed the boat down.
"In that case, the official will retire first." Xiao Huai'an politely signaled to him, and if he really lifted his cloak, he led everyone in the Yushitai to retreat.
The tavern owner rubbed his hands behind him, looking embarrassed, but he didn't know who to speak, so bitter that he wanted to cry without tears, and hesitated for a long time before holding the account book and walking to Xu Rulie, who was still dizzy, with a smile on his face.
"The Third Highness is kind-hearted, so these things ......"
Xu Rulie was angrily looking at Xiao Huai'an's distant back, a sip of tea was still in his mouth, and when he heard the boss's words, he almost vomited out in fright.
On the other side, Xiao Huai'an took away, and after returning to the Yushitai, he was not in a hurry to go home, he stood at the intersection and waited for a while, and Liang Xin, who had just left to check on people, was late.
"How's it going?" Xiao Huaian said, he got into the carriage first, and Liang Xin was responsible for driving the horse outside the carriage.
"My lord's forgiveness, my subordinates followed the man all the way to a dense alley according to my lord's orders, but this person was afraid that he had discovered his subordinates' whereabouts, so his subordinates only turned a corner, and he disappeared into the night."
"Being able to quietly lose your whereabouts under your nose is either because your martial arts are not below you and me, or you have been familiar with this place for a long time." Xiao Huai'an groaned, and Liang Xin used the sound of horses' hooves as a cover and echoed in a low voice.
"Yes, and what the adults suspect is completely correct, in addition to the appearance of this person is not the same as my Daze people, even his walking habits are also deviated, and his subordinates have specially checked it, and in recent years, there have gradually been many people from small countries in the capital, especially the largest number of people from their Japanese countries."
"Moreover, the country of Wa is the closest to our dynasty, and many customs and habits are very similar, if this person is really special, otherwise it will be difficult to identify him as a foreigner."
"Obviously, the Wa Kingdom only agreed to completely surrender to our dynasty this year, why have so many people secretly come to the capital a few years ago, and only when the envoys of the Wa State are about to come to Beijing, there is chaos, I am afraid that this matter is still good to say."
Xiao Huai'an closed his eyes, his face was calm, but his heart was turbulent. Liang Xin watched the road carefully and let the carriage turn slowly, "Then according to the meaning of the adults, what should we do next?" Someone infiltrated so early, and it was obvious that the Japanese country was not a good person. ”
"Don't startle the snake first, send our people to investigate in secret, first of all, find out how many people from the Japanese country are in the capital, and how many people are not from our dynasty, and try to investigate their appearance and residence. After that, after the mission enters Beijing, we will consider it in the long run. ”
Xiao Huai'an's eyes rolled, and he calmly carried out the first round of simple arrangements, but his subordinates were a little nervous and gently tapped on the seat.
The next morning, it was a good time for spring, Su Jiao had dinner yesterday, and when Xiao Huai'an came back to learn the news, she waited until midnight, and it was really not easy to get up so early today.
"Ha, it's such a simple case, and you have to send someone to deal with it with such fanfare. People who were born in the royal family are really different, and the few people who were beaten were also in vain," Su Jiao washed her face, sat in front of the dresser, couldn't help yawning, and let Mu Rong and Diecui comb her hair for her.
"If it were me, at least I should have asked for some silver words to come back as a mental damage fee."
"Those people are just street gangsters, who knows if they do any petty theft on weekdays, if they really plan to continue to track down, it will definitely not do them any good."
Mu Rong carefully arranged the shape of Su Jiao's hair while saying casually, and Diecui, who was combing her long hair next to her, was a little stunned.
