Chapter 114: The Way (I)
Not long ago, Kong Xiuzhi, who had just moved to Shangshu Province, sent someone to deliver a message, inviting Huan Ling and Xie Zheng to go to the teahouse for a small gathering, and the two of them went by ox cart, Huan Rang stayed in the mansion, and every time he saw a dignitary and dignitary come to the mansion to visit Huan Ling and Xie Zheng, or someone invited them out, he was always depressed and depressed in his heart.
Today, I saw that Huan Ling and Xie Zheng went out again, and he secretly followed.
Huan Ling and Xie Zheng took the ox cart on the house, walking in front, Huan Rang went out and called a carriage, followed behind, and the distance between the two cars was about ten zhang.
The ox cart was walking north along the west bank of the Qinhuai River, and suddenly heard a noise outside the car, and the ox cart also shook a little, thinking that the green cow was startled, and the two people in the car shook with this time, and hurriedly helped each other, almost not sitting firmly.
There was a commotion outside the car, and as soon as the ox cart stopped, Huan Ling walked to the front to open the door curtain, poked his head out of the car to investigate the situation, and saw that about a zhang away from the green cow, a man with messy clothes and fat head and big ears was lying on the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, and his whole body was convulsed, as if he was half-dead.
There were people around who quickly came to watch, pointing and pointing, Huan Ling was uneasy when he saw the situation, lest the ox cart hit this person, and hurriedly asked Zeng Qionglin, who was driving: "What's wrong?" ”
Zeng Qionglin replied: "Being beaten down from above almost startled the green cow." ”
Huan Ling raised his head and saw that in the attic of the fireworks land in front of him, there were two bare-chested big men, who were looking at the man on the ground with their fists in their fists, with a fierce and evil look.
"Look at what! What to see! Look at it again, and it will end up like him! ”
After such intimidation and threats by the two big men, the onlookers ran away in groups.
At that time, Xie Zheng was sitting in the car, heard the movement outside, and also lifted the corner of the curtain, and secretly peeked out, she followed the sound to look at the attic, and saw a brightly dressed, but thief-eyed villain slowly walked to the fence, Xie Zheng was stunned when he saw his face, isn't that the master book rate in Xiao Ying's mansion?
Cheng Shu crossed his waist with one hand, picked his teeth with a bamboo stick in the other, raised his eyebrows, and said to the people below: "Dare to spread wild on Lao Tzu's territory, and don't look at who Lao Tzu is!" ”
As he spoke, he dropped the bamboo stick that had been cleaned and turned around and walked inside.
Huan Ling put down the curtain and sat back in the car, he saw that Xie Zheng also saw what was going on outside, so he said, "The person in the attic looks familiar." ”
Xie Zheng glanced at the signboard of this Qinglou twice, and then withdrew her hand, she looked sideways at Huan Ling, and said, "The master book of the Linchuan Palace." ”
Huan Ling saw the process rate, so he naturally had some impressions, he was surprised, and said: "People who eat public salaries blatantly open the Qinlou Chu Pavilion? ”
"The people of the King of Linchuan have always been bold," Xie Zheng said, lifted the curtain and glanced at the signboard of the green building, and said with a smile: "However, who opened this restaurant, it is not certain." ”
Cheng rate was born in a poor family, not even a Shu clan, the ancestors of several generations are dependent on the Lanling Xiao family tenants, even if there is some talent, fortunately become the master of the Linchuan Palace, eat the public salary, he has always been a subordinate household, is a cheap mouth.
And the main book is to put it bluntly, he is a minister, and his monthly salary is only eight hundreds, if he wants to rent a shop in such a prosperous area as Yujie, heh, it is better to reincarnate to a rich and noble family.
"What do you mean......" Huan Ling didn't continue, but Xie Zheng's meaning, he had already understood, this Cheng master was Xiao Ying's henchman, so who this restaurant belonged to, needless to say.
The ox cart continued to move forward, and it didn't take long for it to stop steadily, Zeng Qionglin turned around, and said through the door curtain: "County marquis, it's here." ”
Huan Ling opened the curtain and got out of the car with Xie Zheng successively, Kong Xiuzhi greeted him, and the two sides gave their own salutes, Kong Xiuzhi led the two upstairs to sit in the private room, Zeng Qionglin parked the ox cart and hurriedly followed.
Not long after, Huan Rang also rushed here, but due to the blockage of the royal street, he failed to follow the ox cart here, but he knew that Huan Ling and Xie Zheng had come to the Confucian Teahouse, so he also asked the coachman to stop here.
He got out of the carriage and saw an ox cart stopped in front of the teahouse, so he went to look and see, and made sure that it was the ox cart of the Hou Mansion, and then he looked around and entered the teahouse.
Coming to this teahouse, has always been either rich or expensive, in the long run, they have become regular customers, the little guy is busy, see Huan let in, although he saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, he was also a nobleman, but he also looked at the eyes, so he went to greet him, and asked: "This Lang Jun came back for the first time?" Can I make a reservation? ”
Huan Rang was stunned, "Need a reservation to come here?" ”
The little guy laughed and didn't answer, so he acquiesced.
Huan Rang was deeply embarrassed, and said, "Oh...... I, I'm ........."
He was worried about whether to admit that he was the younger brother of the Marquis of Yongxiu County, and a person outside the door behind him smiled: "He is invited by this king to drink tea." ”
Huan Rang was stunned for a moment, then looked back, and saw that it was an elegant Langjun wearing an indigo Confucian robe and a crane outside, and there were three people behind him, one was also born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the other two, although one was brightly dressed, his appearance was very ordinary, as for the one who walked behind the Lang Jun with clear eyebrows, wrapped in a coarse cotton coat, thinking that he was a slave in his family.
When the little guy saw the visitor, he hurriedly greeted the passer, saluted the visitor in turn, and said with a flattering smile: "The villain has seen His Royal Highness the King of Wuling, Shen Shilang, and Master Liu. ”
It turned out to be King Wuling, Huan Rang reacted, and also hurriedly bowed to Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye waved his hand casually, and only said, "Get up." ”
Huan Rang thought to himself that this King of Wuling had never known him, and he would help like this!
Xiao Ye took a group of people upstairs, Huan Rang saw the situation, and also followed behind, and the group also asked for a private room, which happened to be next door to Huanling.
After entering the private room, Huan Rang immediately saluted Xiao Ye and thanked him, saying: "In Xia Huan Zhongxuan, thank His Royal Highness King Wuling for helping him relieve the siege." "Thanks to King Wuling for lifting the siege for him, otherwise, he would have been turned away, and losing face is not a trivial matter.
This is the king of Wuling, I heard that the king of Wuling is powerful, and he is the most favored by His Majesty, and it is very likely that he will be the prince in the future.
And Xiao Ye heard that his name was Huan Zhongxuan, and he was secretly thinking about it, so he came here by car, and when he got out of the car, he saw this person hovering beside the ox cart of the Hou Mansion in Yongxiu County, guessing that he was from the Hou Mansion, so he wanted to get closer, so he helped him once.
Seeing that he is dressed decently, and his surname happens to be Huan, could it be Huanling's brother?
Xiao Ye stepped forward to help him up, and said with a hypocritical smile: "No need to thank you, this king has always been warm-hearted and helps you, but I don't want you to be grateful to Dade." ”
Shen Wenhe asked casually: "I heard you say, your surname is Huan?" ”
"Exactly," Huan bowed his head, and Shen Wenhe asked again: "But the Huan clan of Qianjun?" ”
Huan Rang thought for a while and replied: "Yes, it is the second brother of the Marquis of Yongxiu County, Huan Rang." ”
Xiao Ye was especially happy when he heard this, he didn't expect that this was Huanling's younger brother, but he could use it, if he could use it for him to contain Huanling, it would naturally be better.
The two of them have their own ghosts, and it is not impossible to use each other.
