Xiao Tian looked at Han Xing's thoughtful appearance, and didn't say more, just continued to eat, and after sweeping all the snacks on the table, he was finally satisfied.

Heck, pushing people is hard work, and of course the spent effort has to be replenished with food.

He took two sips of tea and wiped his mouth, instructed one of the maids in Luhua Pavilion to bring the packed snacks, and then waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving." Thanks to you for letting me watch a good show for no money today, I'll go to play with you next time! ”

Duanmu Fei also waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao, if someone comes to you for 'trouble', you will report the name of the Shoufu Mansion." ”

She looked like "I'll be your backer", which made the young man laugh out loud, waved his hand again, and walked out of the lobby door without looking back.

The maid looked at Xiao Tian's back and stopped talking, this Xiao Gongzi ate and took it, and he didn't give the silver yet! But he looked at the old acquaintances with the four girls and the four princesses of Duanmu, and they were quite close......

Duanmu Fei didn't notice the delicate eyes of the maid, and looked at the back of the young man leaving in a daze, he went out of the gate, turned right, and after a while, he disappeared.

Duanmufei's mind was a little trance-like, speaking of which, she and Xiao Tian just met in Pingshui, Mashi, Daqing Town, and this time in Luhua Pavilion, they only met three times in total, and each time they came and went in a hurry, in fact, they didn't say a few words.

Obviously, she knew that his origin was very problematic nine times out of ten.

But his smiling look can always easily dismantle her guard......

Duanmu Fei retracted his gaze and looked at the oiled paper bag wrapped in sugar balls on the table.

"Cousin Scarlet," Han Xing put his hand in front of Duanmu Fei's dull eyes and shook it, "What did you mean by that sentence just now?" ”

Duanmu Fei came back to her senses at this time, and she didn't shy away from others, and said frankly: "I'm afraid that the Xie family will find trouble with him." ”

Xu is Duanmu Fei really has a bit of the ability to be straightforward, and Xiao Tian is indeed in trouble.

He had just left Luwah Court and came to Sheung South Street, which was adjacent to Chung Shing Street, when he realized that he was being targeted.

He runs, and the other party chases.

Running and chasing, the six tall and sturdy men in Tsing Yi blocked him in a narrow and uninhabited alley, until Xiao Tian could not retreat, and only a mottled high wall was left behind him.

Xiao Tian thought that he was not short, but compared with these northern men who were half a head taller than him, he was stiffly lined like a little sheep in a wolf pile.

"Where do you think you're going to run?" The bearded beard at the head let out a disdainful sneer, and approached Xiao Tian half a step closer.

Several other big men behind him also drew out the long knives on their waists, sneering one after another, fierce and vicious.

The two sides are less than a foot apart.

"You're looking for me?" Xiao Tian carried a snack box in one hand, pointed to himself with the other and asked with a smile, standing or not, as if he was unconscious of his situation.

Qiu Hu felt that the young man was pretending to be stupid, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said sharply: "You are the one who is looking for you!" You offended our girl, and you still want to get out of it?! ”

They are all from the Cheng'en Mansion.

Xie Xiangling suffered a big loss in Luhua Pavilion, of course she refused to give up, since she couldn't take the bright road from Jingzhao Mansion, she simply took the dark road and ordered people to keep an eye on Luhua Pavilion.

She couldn't clean up Duanmufei for a while, and she didn't believe that she couldn't even clean up a few outsiders.

It turned out that he was really looking for him. Xiao Tianle was happy. He looked at these people with a smile, hey, just a few people, looking at the flower fist embroidered legs, it was nothing, but he still had a box of expensive snacks on him, don't let them break it.

That's right!

If the dim sum is broken, let them pay three for one, no, pay ten.

After figuring it out, Xiao Tian was relieved, yawned and asked, "Do you want to go up one by one, or together?" ”

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he said to himself: "Forget it, let's go together, hurry up, I have to rush back to the inn to sleep." ”

Xiao Tian's words seemed to add fuel to the fire, which made Qiu Hu and the others completely out of control!

"Brothers, come on!"

With a wave of the bearded beard's big arm holding the knife, several big men rushed forward, and Xiao Tian quietly touched his waist......

At this moment, a man's shout came from the mouth of the alley: "Who is there to make trouble!" ”

The man's voice was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and the bearded Hu and the others stopped in an instant as if frozen, and they all looked back at the mouth of the alley.

Four tall and sturdy young men strode towards this side, these four walked with the wind, described as majestic, that is, they did not speak, and walked like this, with a taste of not being angry and arrogant.

Xiao Tian's fingers gently rubbed twice on the brocade belt around his waist, the corners of his mouth were still curved, and his dark pupils were full of light.

His intuition told him that these four people were not simple, but they were much more powerful than the Xie family.

The four young men stopped two or three feet away, led by a wheat-skinned mustache, and glanced coldly at Xiao Tian and Qiu Hu's group.

He took out a waist card from his arms that was not as big as a palm, shook it and put it away, and said in a deep voice: "Jinyiwei." ”

The faces of Qiu Hu and the others changed in an instant, and their faces were as white as paper.

"You are so bold, dare to hold a weapon in the capital! Do you know that this is the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble?! The mustache snorted coldly, his voice was cold, his eyes were like lightning, and he waved his hand and ordered, "Catch all the few who hold the knife!" ”

Although the mustache four did not wear the flying fish suit of the brocade guard or the embroidered spring knife, they wore soap boots on their feet.

Besides, this capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to pretend to be a Jinyi guard!!

The bearded beard cleared his throat, took a step forward, and smiled at the mustache: "This lord, we are the ......."

He wanted to say that they were from the Cheng'en Mansion, and hoped that the other party could see the face of the Cheng'en Mansion to turn big things into small things and small things into nothing, anyway, they haven't done it yet.

However, the mustache didn't want to hear him say more at all, and directly interrupted him in a cold voice: "I don't care which family you belong to, the Son of Heaven is guilty of breaking the law and sharing the common people!" If you have anything to say, come back with us! ”

"Or ...... Are you going to resist arrest? The mustache deliberately slowed down his tone, word by word, and the threat was overflowing.

Who doesn't know that the Jinyi Guard is arrogant and domineering, if they kill him, it will be a vain death!

The bearded beard stammered, "No...... Can't. ”

The few big men he brought with him all handed over their weapons in a gloomy manner and followed the mustache four.

After a while, Xiao Tian was the only one left in this narrow alley.

As soon as the wind blew, a fallen leaf flew from the high wall on the side of the alley, and fell in a circle, round and round......

Xiao Tian blinked, blinked again, and there was a sense of unreality in a dream.

He couldn't help but squeeze his thigh, and the pain told him that it wasn't a dream.

He just got out of danger?

The security in the capital is so good?

As soon as someone provoked, Jinyiwei immediately arrived?

Xiao Tian was still floating at his feet, and walked slowly towards the mouth of the alley, and there was inevitably a trace of regret in his heart: Hey, he was still thinking about eating black and eating black, and he had some dim sum.

When he walked to the mouth of the alley, Xiao Tian habitually looked left and right first, and his eyes paused for a moment when he saw the intersection of Shangnan Street and Zhongsheng Street.

At the intersection, two familiar little girls are looking around.

He was at least seven or eight feet away from them, and he couldn't hear their voices, so he could only roughly judge from Duanmufei's mouth shape, and she seemed to have said the word "Xiao Tian......

"Scarlet cousin, that Xiao Tian walked really fast, he ran away so quickly. Seeing that he is quite clever, he shouldn't be arrested by the Xie family, right? ”

"Otherwise, let's go over there and see ......"

Seeing the two girls looking towards him, Xiao Tian hurriedly took half a step back and hid his figure through the alley.

Are they looking for him?!

Xiao Tianying's sword eyebrows were raised obliquely, and he glanced in the direction where the group of brocade guards left, the corners of his lips curled, and he could guess if the two girls were worried that someone would trouble him.

Xiao Tian turned around and left in the other direction, the snack box hooked between his fingers swaying behind him.

It's time to go back to the inn, otherwise Ling Bai should be in a hurry.

He wandered around the street and walked around twice before returning to the Cloud Guest Inn.

Behind him, a young man dressed in blue followed him not far away, the young man was ordinary in appearance, but agile, hiding in the crowd, and he was unnoticed.

On the streets of the capital, there was an endless stream of noise and shouting, and no one cared about the squalor in the alley just now.

Mustache and his party escorted the Xie family back to the edict, but it was not Jinyiwei's edict, but Dongchang's edict, and after that, Mustache went to see Cen Yin alone.

"Overseer."

Cen Yin sat behind the bookcase, and his desk was stacked with stacks of official documents and folds as before, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance of ink, books and tea.

If you don't say that this is the East Factory, ordinary people are afraid that this is the study of a scholarly family.

Cen Yin raised his head from the fold on the desk, and while holding the teacup, he asked, "How did you investigate?" ”

The mustache maintained a fist-clenching posture, and immediately replied, "That Xiao Gongzi's guide is fake. ”

"That day, he and his companion entered Beijing with the four girls, so the city gate guards did not check his road guide, but when he lived in the cloud guest inn, the shopkeeper wrote down the official document on the road guide. The subordinates saw it, and it was a forgery. ”

"They did come from Jinju, brought horses, and disguised themselves as horse merchants. Some of Xiao Gongzi's companions are in Songhe Town, near Daqing Town, and Xiao Gongzi should have come to the capital to inquire about the news. ”

"Also, the subordinates suspect that they may be mountain bandits from Jinju, and they have already sent people to Jinju to continue the investigation."

The mustache said that it was possible, but in fact, he was at least seven or eight points sure in his heart.

Originally, it was very easy to investigate a person, and no one could withstand the interrogation of Dongchang, but the overseer had an order, so they could only use this roundabout method to go to Jinju.

Cen Yin drank the tea slowly, and the mustache continued: "Overseer, Xiao Gongzi has been inquiring around in the capital recently, and today he went to Luhua Pavilion, and met the fourth girl and the fourth princess by chance, and inquired with them. ”

Hearing Duanmu Fei, Cen Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The mustache is very good at observing words and feelings, so he told the story of what happened in Luhua Pavilion today, from Xiao Tian to find out the news and then Xie Xiangling fell into the water, all of them.

Cen Yin's thin lips curled, and his narrow eyes softened by two points. This little girl is really familiar with the way of bullying.

The mustache continued to bow down, and told all the things that the Xie family sent to block Xiao Tian later: "...... The subordinates have brought the Xie family's group of house slaves back to the East Factory, I don't know what to do? ”

They were ordered to "star" at Xiao Tian and Ling Bai, and they didn't have to worry about other things, but the mustache looked at Xiao Tian and Duanmu Fei in Luhua Pavilion just now, and they were obviously on good terms, so seeing that Xiao Tian was blocked by the Xie family, he simply stepped in to help. No matter what Xiao Tian's identity is, and how the Overseer plans to deal with it in the future, it will be a matter for the future.

"Hit." Cen Yin put down the teacup and instructed lightly, "Then...... Throw it to the Cheng'en Mansion. ”

"Yes, Overseer."

The mustache immediately clenched his fists and took the order, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that the overseer was in the early four girls.

The Overseer really loves his sister as much as his life!

The mustache quickly stepped back and went to work.

So an hour later, six people, including the bearded beard, were thrown to the door of the Cheng'en Mansion as if they were sacks, with blue noses and swollen faces, and their breath was dying.

A Dongchang fan rudely kicked the bearded beard in the stomach and said arrogantly: "You'd better learn to be obedient, and then provoke the four girls, then it's not a beating!" ”

"That's it!" Another Dongchang fan also kicked casually, and echoed in his voice, "Who are our four girls, do you think any cat or dog can bark at her twice?!" ”

"Spare your dog's life this time, and wipe the tricks off in the future!"

Several Dongchang fans scolded Sang and scolded Huaidi, and made a lot of trouble before riding their horses away.

Such a big movement naturally attracted a lot of pedestrians on the street and other nearby mansions, and they all gathered around to see the excitement, and surrounded the gate of the Cheng'en Mansion three layers inside and three layers outside, until the subordinates of the Cheng'en Mansion came out and carried Qiu Hu and others in, and these onlookers did not disperse.

When the housekeeper told the matter to the house, Cheng'en Gong was so angry that he almost had palpitations, and his face was pale.

Duchess Cheng'en was also there, sitting on an arhat bed with Cheng'en Gong, and her face was also not very good-looking.

When Xie Xiangling just returned home today, the second lady went to complain to Duchess Chengen and told her what happened in Luhua Pavilion today.

Duchess Chengen came to tell Chengen Gong again, and before she finished speaking, Mama came to her.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! Duchess Chengen slapped her palm heavily on Fang Ji, and the teacup jumped too, "Grandpa Guo, Cen Yin, this eunuch is so bright and supportive of the cheap girl of the Duanmu family, and he doesn't take us seriously!" ”

The more Cheng Engong listened, the more annoyed he became, and his head throbbed for a while, gloomy as ink.

During these days, he planned to come and go, but nothing could be done except to get the eldest prince back from the south.

Cen Yin stepped on the soles of their Cheng'en Mansion again and again, and bullied the girls of their Xie family again and again with Duanmufei, obviously deliberately breaking the face of their Xie family and giving them a disgrace!

As Duchess Chengen spoke, her eyes gradually reddened, and some tears appeared, and she said, "Grandpa Guo, you have been punished, beaten, and kneeled...... I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince come forward to intercede for you......"

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her voice choked slightly.

"Grandpa Guo, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is really true! Like today, he was obviously in Luhua Pavilion, but he still let Duanmu Fei bully our sister Ling! ”

"If it weren't for our Xie family, if it weren't for the queen's mother, there were nine princes under the emperor's knees, and he was just a fourth prince, neither the eldest son, nor a famous name, how could he be on the throne!"

"Grandpa Guo, he is so ruthless now, and when he ascends the throne in the future, he will even turn his face and deny people!!"

The more Duchess Cheng'en spoke, the more excited she became, the more indignant she became, and her chest rose and fell violently.

The housekeeper had already withdrawn with amusement, and only the two of them were left in the house.

"Smack!"

Cheng Engong slapped his palm heavily on the square table, and the tea cup on the square table also jumped.

His face was even more ugly, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and the green tendons in his neck appeared from time to time.

This time, he was even more angry with the four princes.

The fourth prince is the future son-in-law of the Xie family, and it was the Xie family who chose him that gave him the opportunity to win the supreme position......

Cheng Engong's right hand turned into a fist, his eyes flickered brightly and secretly, and he said hardly: "Anyway, the fourth prince is not born to the queen's mother, if he doesn't know how to lift, let's just let the queen mother go and hug a little prince to his knees!" ”

Cheng Engong originally just said it casually, but after he really said it, he thought it was a good idea.

The four princes are all so old, and they have more thoughts, which is difficult to control, if it is a young prince, it is easier to control.

Duchess Chengen saw that Chengen Gong was very angry, and hurriedly leaned over to ease him, and then said, "Grandpa Guo, what is it...... What now? ”

Cheng Engong drank two sips of tea, began to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "You ask Sister Ling not to provoke the fourth girl of the Duanmu family, that is a bullying and arrogant girl, and we will be able to take revenge one day in the future." ”

When the backer of the Duanmu family falls, she naturally won't be able to make any waves!

Duchess Chengen thinks about it, Duanmu Fei is actually not worth mentioning, the trouble is Cen Yin behind her, and when Cen Yin loses power, Duanmu Fei is naturally a water dog.

"As for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince...... "Cheng Engong's right hand was held for a while, and then let go, squinting, "It depends on whether he will come to the door tomorrow." ”

Cheng Engong's voice became lower and lower, and the end of his words disappeared into the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves.

Duchess Chengen asked tentatively, "Grandpa Guo, what if His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince doesn't come?" ”

"If you don't come," Cheng Engong's face sank like water, "you go to the palace ......"

Duke Chengen didn't say anything further, but Duchess Chengen already understood what he meant, and naturally entered the palace to see the queen......

Then the room fell silent, only the autumn wind outside the window, and the weather was getting colder and colder.

At some point, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

As soon as the autumn rain started, it never stopped, and it rained all night, and it was still raining the next day, and the sky was gray and hazy.

The rain was continuous, like smoke, and it rained for another whole day.

Until nightfall, the four princes did not come to the Chengen Mansion.

From morning to night, the entire Guogong Mansion was shrouded in a gloomy and depressing atmosphere, Xie Xiangling was even more angry that she hadn't eaten all day, and was said by Wan Guiran's crow's mouth, she started to have a fever last night, and the low-grade fever didn't go away all day.

At dawn the next day, the rain finally stopped, and early in the morning, Duchess Chengen left the house directly in a carriage, intending to enter the palace to complain to the queen.

Result –

She had just gotten out of the carriage when she was stopped in front of the palace gate.

The spears of the forbidden soldiers on both sides of the palace gate crossed in front of her, blocking her way.

Duchess Chengen, who was wearing a lot of makeup, had a dark face, and she almost couldn't maintain her demeanor.

The old woman beside her stepped forward half a step forward and scolded the forbidden army blocking the road at the palace gate: "What are you doing? Our Duchess wants to enter the palace to see the queen! You still don't get out of the way! ”

Ordinary women who want to enter the palace have to go to the palace to hand over the sign, and then they can enter the palace, but Duchess Chengen is the queen's eldest sister-in-law, and she has the grace of the queen, and as long as she wants to enter the palace on weekdays, she can enter the palace at any time.

"Duchess of the Kingdom, please go back." One of the square-faced Praetorian guards said lukewarmly, as if he were facing nothing more than an ordinary person.

Duchess Chengen's face turned blue, this time, she couldn't care about the posture of the Duchess of Guo anymore, and said coldly: "You are so bold! Aren't you afraid that I'll tell the queen?! ”

The two Praetorian guards who blocked the way didn't even raise their eyebrows.

The square-faced guard of the forbidden army said coldly: "This is the palace gate, if the Duchess continues to stay here, don't blame us for being 'welcome'!" ”

He increased the volume of the words "you're welcome", and the threat was overflowing.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, in the past 18 years, Duchess Chengen has always said that she will enter the palace when she enters the palace, and she has never been blocked and expelled like this.

Duchess Chengen's body was as stiff as a stone carving, and her face was even more blue and white.

Since Xie Xiangling was pushed into the water in Luhua Pavilion the day before yesterday, the evil fire in her heart has been burning for two days, and the more it burns, the more it burns, the more it burns, the more it should be settled, but she didn't expect that before she entered the palace, she was poured a bucket of cold water on her head like this.

"You...... What do you want! Duchess Chengen said angrily, unwilling to leave like this.

The two Praetorian guards snorted disdainfully, and the spears in their hands tilted down a little more, the silver spear head shining sharply in the sunlight.

There was a faint spark in the air.

"Madame......" The old lady swallowed her saliva and shouted in a low voice, wanting to say that a good man does not suffer immediate losses, and wanted to persuade Duchess Chengen to go back to the house first to find Grandpa Guo to discuss the long term.

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sound of horses' hooves and wheels from behind, and it was getting closer and closer.

Duchess Cheng'en and the old lady followed the prestige, and saw a vermilion wheel coming in the direction of the palace gate and stopped two feet away.

Immediately afterwards, two girls walked down from the car, one delicate and the other pretty, talking with a smile.

"It's not ......"

The old lady recognized the two girls at once, and looked at the face of Duchess Chengen with some trepidation.

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, Fourth Girl."

A waiter in Tsing Yi hurriedly greeted Hanxing and Duanmu Fei with a whisk of dust, bowing and saluting, courteous and thoughtful.

Not only Duchess Chengen saw Hanxing and Duanmufei, but Hanxing and Duanmufei also saw Duchess Chengen at the gate of the palace.

Han Xing has been living in Duanmu Mansion for more than half a month, and she is worried about Duanmu Guifei, so she went back to the palace with Duanmu Fei today.

Is this considered a narrow road? Han Xing threw a look at Duanmu Fei.

Duanmu raised his eyebrows silently: You can't even call yourself an enemy, right?

Also. Han Xing nodded, it was she who looked too highly at the Xie family.

The Tsing Yi waiter walked ahead with a smile on his face, nodding and leading the way for the two.

The Praetorian guards who stood in the way automatically moved out of the way, and the other continued to block the Duchess Cheng'en with his spear.

Han Xing took Duanmu Fei's hand and walked beside Duchess Chengen unhurriedly, just glanced at her casually, and did not stop.

Duchess Cheng'en glared at the two of them fiercely, her burning gaze almost burning through their clothes.

Looking at the other party's face as if someone else owed her millions of taels of silver, Han Xing knew what she was here for.

"Scarlet cousin, look at her like this, this is here to sue again, right?" Han Xing wrinkled his little face and said unceremoniously, "She doesn't look at her identity either!" ”

Han Xing didn't care if the Duchess Chengen in the rear would hear it, and snorted coquettishly.

------Off topic------

Good morning!
