Chapter 382: Evil Dragon
As soon as this sound came out, everyone was in an uproar, first retreated, then woke up, and knelt on the ground again, most people did not dare to raise their heads, and a few bold people flew out of their eyes from the cracks in their arms, and secretly glanced at the legendary prince who was "unruly, intelligent, the son of the demon concubine, favored by the emperor, and had an ambiguous story with the first female assassin in the history of Dongtang".
Yan Sui only looked at Yan Jue, and when he heard his voice, the jade stick in his hand seemed to be knocked out lightly, "Huh? Old five? ”
Yan Jue saw the stick knocked down, where to hide, Bang Di made a muffled sound, and the other side of the lonely crutch was hit again, and screamed again, and knelt on the ground with a poof, he supported the ground with one hand, and was furious, but when he raised his head and looked at Yan Sui's emotionless eyes, he choked suddenly, and could only say angrily and hatefully: "...... Third brother! ”
Yan Sui took the jade stick, looked him up and down, and said: "The prince is patrolling the sky on behalf of the sky, paying attention to the solemnity of the body, how can you look like this, get up and speak quickly." ”
He beat his younger brother with two sticks to the knees and couldn't get up, and he was still in a strange house, and the officials and people all over the ground were dumbfounded, and the royal children were always high in the clouds, and everyone imagined that getting along must be strict and strict, all of them are fairy characters, and they are fragrant like orchids and musks when they eat and talk, but they didn't expect it to be beaten at this start, and it is no different from the eldest brother in his own village who taught his younger brother.
The corners of Yan Jue's mouth twitched, he didn't dare to scold, his fingers pressed on the handle of his knife, but he knew that his knife was definitely not as fast as Yan Sui's stick, not to mention that Yan Sui beat him with a stick and he took a knife out of the same sense, and then looked at his guard, he had already been separated by Yan Sui's guards thousands of miles away, so he had to grit his teeth and struggle, and took three steps back before he sneered: "Didn't the third brother return to Beijing?" How did you suddenly appear in Huzhou? Shouldn't it be ......" He glanced at Wen Zhen with ill will out of the corner of his eyes, and was about to involve some gossip, Yan Sui had already cut off his words, stroked the jade stick in his hand, and said lightly: "What, I'll come to see you, can't I?" ”
Yan Jue said coldly: "Naturally." It's just that I am also the prince of the prince, and now that I am patrolling, seeing me as if I was seeing my father and the emperor in person, but you dare to insult and beat me in public, are you going to rebel? ”
The officials and people of Huzhou looked shocked and quietly rubbed back - the two princes and brothers are said to be at odds, but they are really at odds to this point? This meeting is so bitten in public, how dare they, the petty officials of several grades, and the small people of the promotion fight?
Looking around, but there is nowhere to escape, and then look at Lord Thorn Shi, who is smiling and watching the battle.
Everyone suddenly felt relieved, so stay there, the sky is falling, and Lord Shi will be on top of it.
Yan Sui's jade stick gently tapped his palm, and he smiled slightly in the rhythmic snapping sound: "Hunting on behalf of the sky, such as I come in person?" Did you know? Then the fifth child, are you sure you really want me to count with you in front of the officials and people of Huzhou, how you patrol the hunt on behalf of the heavens and earn the dignity of the emperor for your father? ”
Yan Jue raised his head and stared at Yan Sui, Yan Sui still had that faint smile, his pupils were bigger than ordinary people, and they were brighter and colder, the deep pool was full of stars, and the abyss reflected the moon, but the deep pool and abyss reflected the clouds in the sky, and the aurora reflected the cold glow, not reflecting the thousands of people coming and going.
Before such a glimmer, Yan Jue couldn't even have the courage to fight.
After all, whether it is means or ruthlessness, Yan Sui is crushing everyone.
Wen Zhen was right, as long as Yan Sui came, he wouldn't even have the courage to try it.
The snapping sound of the jade stick hitting the palm was slight, but the cold sweat on his back was heard, the jade stick suddenly stretched out, Yan Jue trembled in shock, and went to grab the handle of the knife again, but the jade stick gently pushed him back, and Yan Sui's voice was also lowered on the side of his ear: "Old Five." Finally, I warn you once, settle down in Huzhou, don't have any boring thoughts, otherwise next time, it won't be you who knock alone. ”
Yan Jue gritted his teeth and sneered in a low voice: "What, are you afraid?" Your own woman can't hold it, afraid of flying? You are infatuated, chasing after me to warn me, and I don't want to think about it, as soon as this woman is promoted, she is busy drawing a line with you, and how sincere is she to you? ”
As soon as Yan Sui's jade stick was raised, Yan Jue subconsciously shrank, but Yan Sui's jade stick only nodded his cheek, and the corners of his lips hooked: "Although your vain attempt to sow discord is ridiculous, but your bad breath will still make me angry, if you say more, my stick will be stuffed in your mouth and smash your teeth, my father asked, I said to punish you for the prostitute on the road, I think he will deeply agree." ”
Yan never dared to speak, bowed his head and gritted his teeth, Wen Zhen couldn't help but smile and took the Huzhou officials forward to pay a visit, and another well-behaved official came over with a chair and asked His Royal Highness King Yi and His Royal Highness King Ding to sit, Yan Jue motioned with his eyes to the official to put his chair away from Yan Sui.
Yan Sui also sat down, and said very gently to the officials and people below: "This king passed by Huzhou, and I heard that the Spring Festival was grand, so I just came to have a look, and I don't want to disturb you Yaxing." ”
Everyone hurriedly laughed and said with a smile His Royal Highness's words, this is the luck of Huzhou.
Yan Sui said again: "Today, I have seen and heard all kinds of interesting amusements during the Spring Festival, and I will see all the heroes in Huzhou again." ”
This is also the meaning of the question, and at the moment, according to the rules, the respected villagers, the gentry with heads and faces, and the scholars with outstanding talents will come to see His Highness in batches.
Yan Sui didn't say anything when the old man kowtowed, and when the gentry kowtowed to Li Lian, Yan Sui raised his hand and said: "Brother Li lost his mind at the age of three, lost his trust at the age of five, his uncle was like a wolf, and his aunt was like a tiger. ”
His words are full of praise, but the words are extremely vicious. Everyone didn't dare to raise their heads, Li Liancheng's forehead was hot sweat rolling down, this articulate Huzhou rich man could only kowtow at the moment, his head was knocked on the cold ground, and he didn't dare to say a word, Yan Sui didn't look at him much after speaking, and said to the second gentry: "Mr. Fang Ling's sister-in-law is good?" ”
In just one sentence, the face of the rich man with a happy face on the dough dough was like opening a paint shop, and the legs of the third person behind him had begun to tremble, Yan Sui glanced at him and said: "Mrs. Ling's family is rich and the woman is heroic, and this king has been famous for a long time." Your Excellency is quite a bit of a thing, you are this age, and you are still adding incense outside, this king is very worried about your Zhang family, if you continue to give birth like this, will your Zhang family's property still be enough? ”
The gentleman surnamed Zhang shook his hands and looked like a ghost, and the corner of his eyes glanced at the lady whose face suddenly turned blue outside the crowd, and he could only kowtow desperately like Li Liancheng, hoping that this terrible highness would not have any more terrible words coming out of his mouth.
Everyone behind them trembled like chaff, but no matter how much they trembled, they couldn't help but worship and listen, the fourth person lay at Yan Sui's feet, half raised his head, his eyes were full of pleading, Yan Sui suddenly turned his head and smiled at Wen Zhen, and said, "Lord Assassin Shi." ”
Wen Zhen smiled: "Your Highness." ”
"Huzhou gentry, what do you think?"
Wen Zhen glanced at the gentry kneeling below, the group of giant businessmen who had always hidden three points of alienation and arrogance in their previous respects, all looked at her at the moment, their eyes full of pleading.
Yan Sui's hand rested on the arm of the chair, holding the jade stick and knocking it again and again, and his fingers were whiter and more transparent than the jade in the sunlight.
With each knock, the crowd shuddered.
Her heart was slightly hot, both moved and a little wanted to laugh, and a faint sadness and apology rose in the smile that was about to bloom, and finally hooked the corners of her lips: "The Huzhou gentry are enthusiastic and sincere, and have always had a good relationship with the government. have already made a package ticket with the lower officials, and in the future, all kinds of affairs, money and efforts, are duty-bound, and they will never shirk it. ”
Yan Sui's eyes drifted over lightly, and before he could ask, everyone had already hurriedly said, "This is nature!" ”
"We are willing to be the pawns of the adults, but if there is any need, the adults should call!"
Yan Sui nodded at this time and said: "The gentry merchants are the economic support of a place, and the gentry of Huzhou are so sensible, which is really the luck of the imperial court, the luck of Huzhou, and the Lord Wen remembers to report to the imperial court for reward." ”
"Yes."
"Let's all go down."
A group of people were pardoned, and Wen Zhen saw that when someone went down, his robe was wet.
When it was the turn of the scholars to visit, the group of scholars who had always been arrogant were obviously wilting a lot.
Wen Zhen recognized a young man in the lead, who was one of the leaders of the previous disturbance in the square, and was also a participant in today's Keju, and was obviously an activist against her.
When the scholar kowtowed, Yan Sui said: "Ling Zun ......"
The scholar seemed to be startled, hurriedly kowtowed to Yan Sui, and said loudly: "Your Highness, see you in the whole period of grass people!" ”
Yan Sui stopped, and said leisurely: "Lingtang ......"
Shen Quanqi was even more nervous, and his face turned red: "Your Highness! ”
Yan Sui smiled: "What? Don't let this king speak? ”
"The grass people don't dare!"
"Don't dare what? Don't dare to listen? ”
"Your Highness......"
"Who in the world has no bad intentions, and who in the world is not afraid to ridicule?" Yan Sui said slowly, "Your Excellency is so morally perfect, you want to blame everything, Lord Assassin Shi is worthless in your mouth, this king still thinks that Your Excellency is sitting upright, open-minded, and fearless." ”
"Grass Folk ......"
"I heard that you literati have always paid attention to style and bones, and you are willing to be a minister. Even the emperor also dares to speak, not only dare to speak, but also speak out, if the emperor does not accept it, it will be better, and a death can become a reputation for eternity. I think that the virtue of the sages must also be admired by you and others, otherwise there would not have been a boycott in the square a few days ago. The students made a generous statement on the square of the state school that day, and it is said that they also mentioned the king, and now that the king has come, the opportunity to scold the king for his reputation through the ages is naturally for you, and you are not willing to miss it. Yan Sui leaned back comfortably on the chair and pointed at the jade stick, "Come on, what you said and did that day, and when you bowed today, it's here, come again." ”
Students: "......"
No, you're a dignified son, why are you still digging through old accounts?
Naturally, I don't dare to say it again, those bastards really have to say it in front of the parties, they will be ashamed to death first, and on the day when Lord Assassin Shi first came and today, everyone has already seen that it is a smiling tiger, and this one in front of him is an evil dragon, a prince of the dynasty, a boss of Huzhou, who really wants to live with his life?
"If you don't dare to say it, then it means that you know for yourselves that it is some bastard nonsense...... What is the crime of arranging the prince and the second-class members with market slang and rumors? ”
The scholars were all shocked, Shen Quanqi's face turned pale, and he fell to the ground and said loudly: "Your Highness! It's all grass people who are ignorant, inciting classmates, slandering Lord Shi, and the grass people are willing to take all the blame! ”
Yan Sui said indifferently: "It sounds very righteous. Are you doing this in the city? It's no wonder that it can lead the student trend. ”
Shen Quanqi was taken aback, and only then did he know that this highness was so powerful that he even kowtowed, and he didn't even dare to say anything this time.
Yan Sui said: "Lord Assassin Shi, the imperial court will open a test this autumn. The students of the state school are the elite of the cultural administration of a place, and the responsibility of education cannot be slackened, this king looks, he doesn't know how to learn, his temperament is too indulgent, and he makes a note in the school file, whether he can participate in the imperial examination, and watch the after-effects. ”
The two looked at each other, Wen Zhen comprehended, and pretended to persuade: "This year's autumn is the first time to open a department, and it is really a big deal, please think twice about this file......
A smile bloomed at the corner of Yan Sui's lips: "Lord Thorn Shi is a woman after all, and it is inevitable that he will be soft-hearted." This is the case that the people arranged you, and you spoke for them, that's the case," he turned to Shen Quanqi and the others, "Since the assassin Shi pleaded, I won't remember the file, but I am cautious in my words and deeds, and I don't need to teach you to wait again." ”
Shen Quanqi's face was white, and he took the scholars to kowtow to Wen Zhen: "Thank you, Lord Shi, Kuanren!" ”
Huzhou officials and gentry all hung their heads, except for the ignorant people, who couldn't see this pair of tigers and wolves singing together, but what could they do? These two don't have to oppress people with power, they are obviously trying to blackmail people, and they can also do a grand and bright appearance, and every sentence is reasonable, so that the gentry and scholars bow their heads and don't dare to say no.
But just don't dare to say a word of no, it can't be done, what Your Highness wants is not even a little unconvinced in your heart.
The jade stick pointed at Shen Weiqi, who didn't dare to raise his head, "This king heard that the text on your state school square said that the female chef of the palace of the Lord of the Assassin Shi was born, and she was talentless and virtuous, and she was not worthy of a high position?" ”
"The students are ignorant and ignorant, talking nonsense, and talking about the members of the imperial court, please forgive Your Highness and Lord Assassin Shi!"
"Lord Wen." Yan Sui took out a scroll and handed it to Wen Zhen, "The day before yesterday, I happened to meet a drunken cicada, he said that he hadn't seen you for a long time, and he missed you a lot, so he gave me a scroll of calligraphy and paintings, and asked me to bring it." ”
Wen Zhen bowed down with a smile and took it, and all the scholars subconsciously looked up when they heard Shang Zui's name.
Shang drunken cicada is the most prestigious talent in Dongtang, a romantic figure, calligraphy, painting and seal carving can be praised, although the past two years have been burdened by fame, gradually faded out, but in the literary world status can still be bull's ear, who has not heard his name, who is not eager to see his Mobao? Who doesn't know that he has a lot of money, and it is difficult to make a move, and how many people can't get it with a lot of money? Now I heard His Royal Highness say that Shang Drunken Cicada gave the Lord Wen with calligraphy and paintings, and I didn't believe it for a while, but some people vaguely remembered some previous legends and couldn't help whispering.
There are also people who show disapproval, although Shang Zuicicada is known as everyone and does not bend his waist for the powerful, but what is the identity of His Royal Highness King Yi, if it is to open his eyes for Lord Wen, he insists that Shang Zuicia write a few words and paint a picture, and everyone dare not disobey if he wants to come to business.
Wen Zhen had already unfolded the painting at this time, and the moment she saw the picture clearly, she couldn't help but puff.
But everyone shouted "ah".
This painting is of the rough sea, the blue-gray sea surface shows the head of a blue-gray shark, the head is coming, slightly open the blood-red white mouth, the head sits on a young girl, the feet of the black wood on both sides of the shark, both hands pick the shark's gills, the long hair is blown away by the stirring sea breeze, and the blue-gray sky above the head is pressed down heavily.
And the clothes were stirring, and the water foam was surging, as if it was about to make a noise in the next moment, splashing people's faces.
The people standing all subconsciously took two steps back, their hearts shaking, and they always felt that the girl was about to ride a shark out of the sea and crash into herself.
And Wen Zhen was surprised by this, this painting is the scene of himself riding a shark on the Wuhai Sea, but the angle has changed, the original Golden Palace Shang drunk cicada with the painting as a witness, the painting is on the side, and the back is still dragging Tang Xianzhi Yan Sui, this time only the front of her, and what's more, he doesn't know when, he learned his own 3D painting method, although not proficient enough, but there is already a three-dimensional sense, so this positive angle, giving people a more intuitive and sassy feeling, the sea is in front of you, turbulent and low, and she rides the wind and waves to ride the shark, The next second is about to rush in front of everyone's eyes.
Wen Zhen stared at the painting, his heart swelled slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the shark riding on the wind and rain that day, and he didn't feel good at the time, but he only felt happy when he thought about it at the moment, because since then he has been involved in the turmoil, and he can't get it if he wants to rush into the storm and shout and struggle.
Suddenly, I saw Yan Sui turn her head and smile at her, her eyes were deep, as if she had entered the bottom of her heart at a glance, seeing that moment the sea and sky were wide, the clouds and the wind were high, her heart was warm, and the surging rain gradually stopped and turned into a warm harbor.
It's easy to meet, it's hard to travel, no matter the rain and wind or the murderous motives are hidden, but it doesn't hurt to smile when you smile.
There are still words on the painting, which is not an ordinary payment, and it is a large paragraph, and some students can't help but read it.
"Miss Wen, how is this painting? I pondered for many days on your paintings, and finally succeeded in stealing the teacher, and I was very happy to get your three essences. I would like to use this painting as a gift to congratulate Gao Sheng, and I don't care about you when you steal the painting in front of you on the Golden Palace. How is it? In addition, I heard that your new store is about to be completed, and I will be given a Tian Huang seal, which can be like a fish in the rivers and lakes, and I will be a permanent free diner? ”
There is also a Tian Huangshi seal tied to the bottom of the painting, the color is bright and buttery, the material is extraordinary, the seal carving is needless to say, the gold and stone seal carving of the Shang drunken cicada is more valuable than his calligraphy and painting.
Everyone didn't know for a moment whether to be envious and jealous or surprised and sigh.
At this time, the idea of "presumably being forced to deal with a few words by power" has long disappeared, and the tone of Shang Zui's painting is intimate and natural, which is by no means coercive, obviously very familiar with Wen Zhen, not only very familiar, but also implied a bit of respect in the random words, and what surprised everyone even more was that he also faintly pointed out that Wen Zhen can paint, and his skills are superb, and his vivid painting style is actually under Wen Zhen.
The half-division that Shang Zuicia openly admits is enough to be proud of the world.
Wen Zhen smiled, put away the painting and seal, and instructed: "Pass the order, after the new store opens, we will create a diamond membership card for the merchants, and it will be free forever." ”
Cai Sang smiled and groaned. Her eyes turned over the heads of the group of students, and none of them dared to meet her gaze, and they all lowered their heads.
Yan Sui refused to let them go like this, and said idly: "How are the students of the state school doing their homework now?" ”
Xuezheng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Now the students are very hardworking, studying all night, and there are three strategies and three poems every day. "On the one hand, I was glad that Master Thorn Shi had increased his schoolwork, so that he could prevaricate this difficult highness.
"Since you work hard in your studies, you must be rich and rich in five cars, otherwise you can't guide the country and promote the text to despise the marquis of Wanhu. This king will test you, filthy, where do you come from, what is your understanding? ”
Everyone: "......"
Zhang Yue, who had been standing on the side, had a bright look in his eyes, coughed, and gently pulled Wen Zhen's sleeve, and as soon as Wen Zhen turned his head, he saw a bright expression on his face, "I know I'll help you cheat".
But at this moment, how to cheat in front of everyone's eyes, Wen Zhen couldn't help but laugh, and before the smile of the eight teeth unfolded, he saw Yan Sui tilt his head slightly, and he didn't seem to care about Zhang Yue.
Then he raised his hand slightly, as if he had sorted out the clothes on his shoulder, and a small bamboo card reached the back of his shoulder and was picked up by Wen Zhen in his hand.
Zhang Yue watched the two of them blatantly cheat and quietly took a step back.
Yan Sui turned his head to look at the students, his long eyebrows gradually raised, and he looked surprised: "I don't know this?" ”
