Chapter 84: Search
"Lord Wang... The people we left outside are gone, and even the doors of the other wings are gone. The housekeeper was uneasy, and King Qi's face was not good-looking, so he was confused all of a sudden, and he sat in the room and didn't know what to do.
He was able to leave the palace and come here, all because he changed his clothes with the guards, and arranged for someone to answer outside, and now that he is nowhere to be found, he dare not go out to show his face easily, so he can only wait for the end of this matter when everyone relaxes their vigilance and then find an excuse to go out, so as not to attract attention. The people who are a pint of incense are all from the emperor's side, as long as one person sees him, he just can't eat and walk around.
Someone downstairs said that the woman came down from the wing room on the second floor, and suddenly pushed the nobles on the second floor to the forefront. Everyone knows that this is true, what is a good fireworks woman to do in a pint of incense, how do the people of Pingming find such a beautiful person, even if they find it, the neighbors and friends are all in it and can't bring it over, only those noble young masters and old men are good at this, all the banquets and dinners have to write a few posts to call the people to have fun, and the second floor is a wing room, and it is easy to cover up the past.
Ruan Mianmian and Mu Ruqing glanced at each other, and both remembered the information sent this morning, but there was an enemy of theirs in the east wing room on the second floor, so coincidentally, when Yizhong Hou came, he brought a fireworks woman wearing flowers and branches to swagger through the market, it seems that the woman's way is determined, the fishing rod has not yet entered the water, and the fish jumped up and bit the hook by itself, such a stupid opponent has saved a lot of trouble.
"Hey, Mianmian knows that he is not likable, I don't know which nobleman I offended, I want to use such a ruthless method to make Mianmian ruined, Mianmian is really... If you can't live, it's better to die here and apologize. Ruan Mianmian said, and struggled to get up and hit the wall, but her legs and feet seemed to be weak, and as soon as she fell to the ground, Liu Xin'er hurriedly hugged her, and helped her up for a while, which slowly calmed her emotions.
At this moment, the people of the Terracotta Division also came, and an adult with an official hat had heard what had happened clearly, and was feeling a little tricky, on one side the victim was a county lord with a fiefdom, and on the other hand, the second floor wing room did not know which nobles it was, neither side was easy to offend, and the officials had some ability to see the eyes, so they had to fight sloppy first: "The county lord is frightened, today is a good day, and the chef competition has not been held, in my opinion, it is better to take this woman back to the Terracotta Division prison first, After careful interrogation is clear, I will give you a return and I will not delay the game, right? ”
Ruan Mianmian ignored him, just blindly leaned on Liu Xin'er's arms and cried, her eyes were half red, and she looked very pitiful. Mu Ruqingfeng walked over and affectionately helped the official's sleeve, and said in a voice in his ear that only two people could hear: "In the middle box upstairs is Your Majesty, what he means, investigate thoroughly, the east box is the culprit, my lord, what to do, you understand better than me." ”
The official's ears buzzed, and he didn't realize the meaning of these words for a while, and he was stunned for a moment before he immediately raised his voice: "Check!" Thorough investigation! Investigate and deal with it clearly on the spot, and never let the lord of Ruliang County, who has golden branches and jade leaves, suffer the slightest grievance. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and called a group of soldiers, and ordered: "You people, go to the second floor to ask all the nobles to be accommodating, we have to search the rooms one by one, and if there is any offense, the lower official will personally come to the door to make amends." He stroked his beard, but nodded imperceptibly towards the middle, giving him a look of understanding.
The noise below was loud enough, and the mood in each box was also different, there was nothing in the chamber of Anyang Marquis and the other two nobles, just sitting calmly and drinking tea, even if it was a search, it would not let ordinary people in, and a team of officers and soldiers would not let themselves lose face, but it was an opportunity to show favor to the hot lord of Ruliang.
Although the emperor is reluctant to be seen, he is wearing regular clothes today, and these soldiers patrolling the capital have no chance to recognize his face, just for people to take a look, and they will not leak their identity. However, Concubine Lan and Princess Fangyan took the light pink veil handed over by Jiang Xinyue at the right time, and hung it behind their ears to cover half of their faces, after all, they were concubines and noble princesses, even if they didn't show their identities, they couldn't let people outside the palace look at them.
The atmosphere of the east wing room is like falling into an ice cellar, King Qi is pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, the brocade boots on his feet are creaking on the floor, the housekeeper is also gloomy, he can't walk outside the window, so many people's eyes are staring at it, but the door can't get out, the team of soldiers has stepped on the stairs and came up, and they are at the door, neither advancing nor retreating, which is really forcing people to a dead end.
"Forget it, if this king goes out like this, the province will be reported by someone at that time, trouble!"
"Prince, by all means, these guards may not recognize you, it is better to plan the plan, bother the Yizhong Marquis to prevaricate the past, and then say that the prince is a distant relative of the Yizhong Marquis Mansion, and then cover his face with a handkerchief, saying that the face is allergic and should not blow the wind, and he can block it." The housekeeper hurriedly pulled out his handkerchief, and King Qi had no choice but to be indignant, resulting in the handkerchief wrapping around the back of his head and tying a knot and covering his face.
As soon as this side was done, there was a knock on the door outside: "Hello distinguished guest, please forgive your offense, the slave who was killed by the county lord of Ruliang was ordered to investigate, please open the door." ”
The housekeeper opened the door with a dodge in his eyes and let the soldiers in, and when the soldiers looked, there were only two men in the room, and there was no one else, so they were about to exit to check the other rooms, Qi Wangzheng pretended to be calm and relieved, but he didn't want to walk in front The soldier suddenly paused, walked in and pointed to the wine and food on the table and said, "Wait, what is this?" ”
The table was covered with satin embroidered tablecloths, six or seven delicate dishes were placed in a staggered manner, most of them had been eaten, a white jade amphora, three delicate translucent white jade cups were placed on the edge of the table, and a small gold fan was randomly thrown on the empty chair, and a girl who was looking forward to life was embroidered on the fan, who was half-leaning on the railing to drink herself, like a place for fireworks, not something that ordinary women dared to take.
This soldier was also a sloppy man, and without waiting for the Marquis of Yizhong and the King of Qi to make a move, he immediately went to the window and shouted down: "My lord, please come and take a look, there is a discovery." ”
The official glanced at Mu Ruqing, he had already taken a step to take Ruan Mianmian, Liu Xin'er and Ruan Bai, this hard-working master went up the stairs, and shouted in his mouth: "I want to see who is behind her mouth, dare to move the royal county lord." The official wiped his sweat and only felt that the errand was difficult, so he followed behind.
The door of the wing room was already wide open, King Qi still turned his face away, he couldn't see any expression, Mu Ruqing knew him, even if he covered his face, it was difficult to ensure that he would not be recognized, he was already thinking about what to do after being discovered.
A group of people came in hula, and the small room was crowded at once, and Yizhonghou had no choice but to stand up, and arched his hand to Mu Ruqing as a courtesy: "Boss Mu, we have heard everything below, but I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, right?" ”
Mu Ruqing looked as if he hadn't seen King Qi, with a smile on his face, looking gentle and polite: "In the next abruptness, everything must be said after seeing the evidence." ”
When the officer came up, he immediately asked the soldier, "What's the matter?" What is there to be shouted at? ”
The soldier clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "There is a woman's fan on the chair in this room, so ask the adults to come up and take a look." ”
The official immediately looked over, and sure enough, there was a woman's fan, and when he picked it up and smelled it, there was still some beautiful aroma, just smelling it made people think about it, so he asked: "This lord, is the woman in the county lord's room out of your room?" ”
Yizhong Hou snorted coldly, and his face was not good: "With just a group fan, you say that it is the person brought by this Hou Ye?" I'm afraid you're tired of doing it. ”
Mu Ruqing interjected at the right time: "It's just that now there is this thing pointing at you, if you didn't bring a woman, how could there be a fan inexplicably appearing in your room, isn't this a strange thing?" ”
Yizhong Hou saw that there was a little speechless, and King Qi immediately glared: "I brought the fan, can't you?" My son likes to use a fan, can't he? ”
This time not only Mu Ruqing and them, but the housekeeper of King Qi was also startled, complaining in his heart that this idiot is also every doorman, this kind of words come out, and it will not be washed when the time comes, but so many people are present and can't take it back, so I just can't wait to find a crack in the ground and get into it immediately.
Ruan Mianmian and Liu Xin'er are girls after all, they are lively, they still have tears in their eyes, they can't help but laugh on their mouths, and they have to endure it as hard as they can, and their lips are almost bitten.
King Qi felt that it was inappropriate as soon as he said it, but now there is no other way to support him, so his face is so heavy that he looks like he is about to drip water, but it is not good to say it again, just don't go over it.
Mu Ruqing had to hold back a smile, pointed to the fan and said, "I didn't expect this brother to have such a hobby... It reminds me of another guy who has a special hobby. With that, he glanced at Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian took over the conversation, nodded and said: "Yes, you don't have to be inferior if you have different hobbies, just like our noble His Royal Highness King Qi, the half-brother who is on the pilgrimage, isn't he also a person who likes to pick up people who don't want it, that Liu Xi'er didn't abide by the woman's way and broke before getting married, and he was not taken into the house to be named a wife, who in the whole city doesn't know this good word." Ruan Mianmian raised her eyebrows, deliberately speaking more heavily, and looked at King Qi's eyes with a smile that became more and more angry.
King Qi's hand had already tightly grasped the tablecloth, but now he didn't show his face, and his identity couldn't be disclosed, otherwise he would be passed on again, so the housekeeper touched him sideways, so that he wouldn't lose his mind and do something irreparable after being provoked.
