Chapter 40: Hengcheng Mansion
Some distant fragments flashed in Huai Zui's mind, and he took the talisman in Li Liang's hand and looked at it carefully.
It was a square mahogany with the word "peace" written on it, a very ordinary style, because it was worn all year round, and the corners had been polished a little rounded.
Huai Zui looked at the peace charm, looked at Li Liang's face carefully, and thoughtfully put the peace charm on Li Liang's hand.
"Young Master Huai, this ......"
"It's nothing, I'll see if it's worth it." Huai Zui turned around, blew his nose, and sighed with his palm, "It's a little cold this day." ”
"You know the money." Li Liang didn't notice Huai Zui's reddened eyes, and lowered his head to put the talisman back in the pocket of his underwear.
"General Li, it's hard to move an inch without money, you don't understand." Huai Zui patted him on the shoulder and waved his hand, "Have a good rest...... Also, take care of yourself. ”
"What do you want to do all of a sudden?" Li Lianghu stared at him suspiciously, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Huai drunk his eyes whitened, and walked away with his hands in his hands.

In the dead of night, the study room in the Hengcheng Mansion was still lit.
The little man guarding the door shivered with cold, and he shivered even more when he heard the roar and the sound of falling things coming from the house.
He Ruokun, the Duke of Hengcheng, walked anxiously around the study, broken teacups, damaged books, and broken ring rulers...... It can be seen everywhere in the house.
And the one kneeling there was actually Shang Yue, the imperial historian.
"Master Yue, you must help me, how many years has my son-in-law not listened to you?" Shang Yue cried.
He Ruokun was upset when he heard this, and roared angrily: "A big man, crying and crying all day long!" I really don't know what my unsuccessful daughter likes about you! ”
Shang Yue lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "Don't forget, what happened back then was your idea. ”
"You!" He Ruokun was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath, he pointed at Shang Yue's nose and said, "Bastard, are you threatening me?" ”
"How dare I dare, I just thought that I would lose my official position and ruin my reputation, but I would affect my family......" Shang Yue said while glancing at He Ruokun from time to time to observe his complexion.
He Ruokun's face became more and more ugly, and the ring ruler in his hand was folded in half with a click. He snorted coldly, sat in his chair with a calm face and did not speak.
Shang Yue knelt down and crawled to his feet in a flattering manner.
Seeing Shang Yue's soft-boned appearance, He Ruokun was even more angry, he took a sip of tea to suppress the anger in his heart, and said: "Okay, I'll help you one last time, in the future, if you dare to go outside and owe so many taels of silver, I will let them break your legs." ”
"Ah Chuan, bring the silver ticket."
He Ruokun greeted the outside world, and Ah Chuan, the little guy who was shrinking in the corner, hurriedly ran away.
Shang Yue smiled flatteringly and said, "Lord Yue, how long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time?" ”
"Don't worry, there is Ming'er in Hengzhou, wait until I solve the mess here."
"Hehe, with Lord Yue's father-in-law, it's not easy to clean up this group of people." Shang Yue ignored He Ruokun's white eyes and grinned and said, "After the matter is completed, is that one ......?"
He Ruokun snorted coldly again: "Mind your mouth, that person came to Yunyao in person." ”
He thought for a while and said, "By the way, let Lan'er go home another day, I have something to say to her." ”
"Who are you?"
Outside the door, Ah Chuan suddenly exclaimed, He Ruokun pushed the door open, only to see a black shadow jump up the roof and disappear into the vast night.
The black shadow didn't stop for anything, and went straight to the prince's mansion.
The people in the mansion recognized him without doing anything to stop him, Huai drunk directly broke into Xiao Yongqing's room, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Bai Chen, you know what I just heard in the Hengcheng Mansion!" ”
Xiao Yongqing put down the pen in his hand, got up and closed the door before saying, "What are you doing in Hengcheng Mansion?" ”
Huai Zui skipped this topic with a haha, and he said: "Shang Yushi's wife turned out to be the daughter of Hengcheng Gong. ”
"Hmm, so what?"
"That's not the point, Hengcheng Gong seems to be looking for trouble, and there should be someone behind him, but I was discovered before I heard it." Huai Zui scratched his head and said, "Last time I heard you say the news that Li Liang brought back, I think that Hengcheng Gong's visit this time is likely to be related." ”
Xiao Yongqing sighed, pressed his forehead and said, "Beili is really unwilling." ”
"Speaking of Beili, where did Princess Shunhe go? I haven't seen her for a few days. Huai asked drunk.
"What? Got a crush on someone? Xiao Yongqing said with a smile.
Huai Zui rubbed his nose and muttered in a low voice: "How can there be ......?"
"I'm still hiding it, and your little caution is written on your face." Xiao Yongqing said jokingly, "I heard that you asked Ruoya for a copy of the book I wrote." ”
"Ruoya's big mouth." Huai Zui complained, "I know I can't hide it from you." ”
"Actually, you don't have to go to such trouble."
"What?"
"If you really want to marry Princess Shunhe, you tell me that is, why bother with such twists and turns."
"I ......," Huai drunken muttered, "I always feel weird with you, like ...... It's the same as you robbing your daughter-in-law. Besides, it's my business that I like her, and if she doesn't want to, what does it matter to me. At that time, I just thought that she was sad all day in the house, so she might as well be happy to leave. ”
"It's not like I didn't want to let her go." Xiao Yongqing handed a book to Huai Zui, "It's just that you have thought about it, why didn't Beili trouble her after she broke up with Bei Li?" ”
"I don't know how to know these fancy intestines." Huai drunk flipped through the book, which was full of topics and articles from the scientific examinations of the past dynasties.
"Because she is now in the name of a crown princess, Beili doesn't dare to touch her easily."
"No, Bai Chen, when did you become so proficient in the affairs of the inner court?"
"It's Nian'er."
"I'll just say it......"
"But strictly speaking, this really can't be said to be a matter of the inner court, and I am indeed negligent in this regard."
"Say." Huai drunk raised the book in his hand, "What are you doing with this for me?" ”
"Huai drunk, should you really live like this?" Xiao Yongqing said seriously, "If you really want to be a wife and a son, take the test as soon as possible, and come out with an official and a half-job." ”
Huai Zui put the book back on the table, pouted, and said, "Forget it, with my brain, I can't remember these things." ”
"Then there is also the martial arts examination, your kung fu is too wasteful to use just to steal chickens and dogs. Or, you can go to His Highness and ask for a shadow seal......"
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Huai drunk interrupted Xiao Yongqing's words, and lowered his face, "Are you poking my sore spot in a different way?" The last reward cost my mother's life, and if I ask for it again, I don't know who will suffer. ”
His voice was soft but resolute: "In my life, I will never compete for an official position again." ”
