Chapter 70 Indifferent Mingzhi is a captain
"You've worked hard today, and I'm here to reward you with the biggest chicken leg. If you hadn't stayed in front of Your Majesty for a long time and knew how to speak, I'm afraid that Yuge's justice wouldn't have been able to escape, so I'll go in through that side door tomorrow to see Yuge. ”
Su Jiao hurriedly washed her hands, picked up the chopsticks and was the first to add food to Xiao Huai'an, and she didn't even have time to put the hibiscus who was in charge of the cloth next to her, so she had to slowly put the chopsticks back again.
"Miss Zhang is out of the palace, how can she live in that small courtyard again, the third prince is not such a disproportionate person." Seeing Su Jiao say so elatedly, Xiao Huaian felt funny and helpless.
"Huh? Then it's not that I can't get in, there are three princes in the mansion, and he will definitely not let me see her. "What's more, I don't want to see Xu Rulie.
Su Jiao bit the head of her chopsticks, very embarrassed, and Xiao Huai'an took a sip of the wine glass, pretending to be casual and casually. "But it's not necessarily the case, the third prince must be thinking about how to save Su Lian back now."
"Then I'll go to see her when Xu Rulie is away, maybe he is worried that Su Lian will misunderstand when he comes back, and he doesn't even plan to live in his own prince's mansion."
With just one sentence, Su Jiao instantly enlightened, and slapped her palm excitedly. Xiao Huai'an quietly lowered his head, and couldn't bear to tell her that she could take advantage of the countess's swaggering past.
"Then now Yuge can leave the palace and see her father and mother, presumably she shouldn't think about suicide anymore." Su Jiao smiled happily at Xiao Huai'an, but her expression dimmed unconsciously.
What Zhang Yuge said before was not complete, so Su Jiao didn't know that the queen had forced her to have a second contact with Xu Rulie, but Su Jiao knew how scary it was after the wedding, and she could guess some reasons.
Xiao Huai'an couldn't bear to look at her, and just wanted to say something to comfort her, but saw the little maid at the door carrying the hem of his clothes and hurriedly ran in.
"Great, sir, something is wrong!"
The little guy ran into the distance with his clothes in a hurry, and he was not paying attention, and he almost tripped over the threshold of the front door. When he staggered to him, Xiao Huai'an looked away with some disappointment, and Mu Hibiscus stood up and scolded angrily.
"What's wrong, didn't you see the adults and Mrs. eating, if there is anything you can't choose a good time to come over and say, it's a person from the Xiao Mansion, at least be more stable, otherwise you won't lose the face of the adult."
It is rare for Mu Hibiscus to say so seriously, mainly because she doesn't want Su Jiao to be in too much of a mood, Su Jiao sighed and waved her hand gently. "Forget it, it's nothing, she must have something important to say, Mu Hibiscus, you come over first, don't affect Huai'an's case."
"Yes." Hibiscus agreed to take two steps back, and the dazed little guy who was scolded by her came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed to the two people on the table.
"Lord Huiyu, Mrs. Huiyu, the people from the Imperial Observatory are here, saying that there was a brawl on Suzaku Street, and I hope your lord can go over and take a look as soon as possible."
"It's just an ordinary brawl, if ordinary people have their own Yushitai in charge, if an official commits a crime, he will be sent to the Criminal Department, why did he still run to my house?"
I didn't expect such a simple case to come in, Xiao Huaian looked at the little guy with some displeasure, the little guy gave him a cold sweat, nodded and hurriedly replied.
"This, the people of the Imperial Observatory have passed, but it is not easy to send them on either side. It was the third prince, and after the third prince left the palace, he drank in the tavern and accidentally injured someone, so the official came to our house to ask for the adult's instructions. ”
"The Three Princes." Su Jiao read these three words lightly, then turned her head and couldn't help but let out a sneer.
Could it be that because he did something wrong, he was scolded by the emperor, and as a result, he borrowed wine to buy drunk, and beat people while he was drunk, the so-called male protagonist of the original book is too fragile.
Xiao Huai'an noticed the mocking expression on Su Jiao's face, waved his hand to let the little guy go down first, stood up, and Mu Hibiscus helped him tidy up his clothes and put on his cloak.
"It's the royal face, I'll go over and take a look, you can eat by yourself first, you don't have to wait for me."
"It's also hard for you, you have to run so far for his affairs at such a big night, if you want me to say just send it to the Criminal Department, he is ......"
Su Jiao sighed lightly, supported her chin with one hand, and blurted out coldly, so that Diecui and Mu Rong behind her were terrified, and Xiao Huai'an hurriedly snatched her words.
"Suzaku Street is mixed, it is inevitable that some people speak inappropriately, and it is normal to have some quarrels, as long as there are no casualties, this matter should be handled easily, I will go back."
"You're so careful," Su Jiao couldn't help but mutter, "Okay, goodbye." ”
Xiao Huai'an couldn't help Su Jiao, so he glanced at her more intentionally, and then passed instructions to Mu Hibiscus with his eyes, and then went out with his sleeves. In the lobby outside, in addition to the officials who came over from the Yushitai, Liang Xin had already prepared a carriage and waited there for a long time.
Sitting in the carriage, under the leadership of the official, Xiao Huai'an soon came to the most lively side street on Suzaku Street, where a simple tavern was opened near the intersection.
The bistro is not large, so the open space in front of the store is supported by a cloth shed, and there are more tables than in the store. Recently, the weather is hot, and most people are panicked by the boredom in the house, so they go outside to enjoy a good drink.
But because Xu Rulie was drunk and had a physical conflict with people, most of the guests in this tavern had been driven away, and the remaining part had to be barely retained by the people of Yushitai in time.
Xiao Huai'an frowned and stared at Xu Rulie, who was drunk like mud on the table, his face was solemn, and he was about to find someone to ask about the situation, but who knew that the people from the Yushitai next to him had even invited the captain.
It was the captain who covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in one hand, and waved his hand to let the doctor in, and let the injured person take a look at the injury first, and when he saw that Xiao Huai'an also rushed over, he stepped forward to say hello.
"Lord Xiao came at the right time, otherwise this official really doesn't know how to report to His Majesty. Lord Xiao figured out what His Majesty meant, otherwise we would settle this matter in private, and it would save the people from having a lot of beaks about the royal family. ”
Seeing this, Xiao Huai'an also bowed his hand, "It's the Taiwei who is polite, you are the elder of my dynasty, born and died with His Majesty, and has the skill of protecting the dragon, how did the younger generation do the Lord Taiwei." Lord Taiwei was resolute at first, why was he so hesitant today. ”
"That's just when I was young, I don't know what to do, and now that I'm old, who doesn't cherish myself." It was the captain who stroked his beard, which showed that he was completely joining in the fun today, and he didn't plan to take over.
Taiwei is a doctor, when he was a teenager, he studied with the emperor in the upper study, he can be regarded as an old friend of the same class, and he escaped death in the imperial expedition and saved the emperor's life, so even if he is now old and has difficulty moving, the emperor also gave him a position of taishu.
As a lieutenant, he is in charge of the army, but the lieutenant himself cannot fight on horseback, and it is better for the emperor to control.
Perhaps because of this, Taiwei looked down on the world when he was old, and he was unwilling to accept almost anything, and today I am afraid that it is also because the royal family is involved, and there is nowhere to take care of it, so he reluctantly came to take a look.
But since Xiao Huai'an is here, there is no need for him to do anything.
Xiao Huai'an saw that he couldn't convince the captain, so he didn't bother to continue persuading, and walked to Xu Rulie, who was drunk on the table, in a few steps. Xu Rulie's cheeks were flushed, and he still muttered that he didn't know what he was talking about, and the officials didn't dare to touch him, but it was always difficult for him to lie here alone.
Xiao Huai'an glanced at it, then grabbed the collar of his back coat with one hand, and held his arm with the other, and picked the person up. "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, can you hear what this official is saying. Come on, bring the decanting soup. ”
When the words landed, the tavern junior who was in charge of boiling the soup hurriedly brought the things. But drunk people are not easy to control, Xiao Huai'an frowned, pulled Xu Rulie with one hand, and prepared to pour the soup to him with the other hand, who knew that Xu Rulie's feet were soft, and he actually leaned on Xiao Huai'an's shoulder.
"Li'er, Li'er, you wait for me, I'll save you soon."
Xiao Huai'an was almost angry, put the bowl on the table, and scolded angrily, "Don't hurry up and someone to support the third prince." ”
The officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory who were in a circle on the side were all frightened by this scene, and then they came back to their senses and remembered to get closer.
"Bastard, do you know who His Highness is, he dared to touch me, believe it or not, His Highness has cleaned you all up."
The official cautiously tried to get closer, but although he was unconscious and his eyes narrowed a slit, he could see clearly who was approaching, and with a wave of his hand, he drove them all back.
Fortunately, Liang Xin came in time, and approached from behind, and while Xiao Huai'an let go, he helped the person up. Xiao Huai snorted angrily, grabbed Xu Rulie's chin and poured the hangover soup into it personally.
Xu Rulie vaguely regarded the hangover soup as a good wine, but there was not a drop left after drinking, which made Liang Xin breathe a sigh of relief and put the person back on the table.
Xiao Huai'an walked away with disgust, took the handkerchief from his subordinates, wiped his fingertips clean, and looked at the tavern junior.
"What is the situation of Fang Cai's matter, and why the Third Highness has a dispute with someone here, you should all see it."
"Yes, if you go back to your lordship, this afternoon, when the business of our store was the most lively, the third prince came over and ordered several jars of wine, "Anyway, today's business can't be done, Xu Rulie broke a lot of bottles and cans when he was drunk, and if he answered truthfully, maybe he could ask for some compensation."
