Chapter 62: Rewarding and Increasing
Yan Qi took a sip of ginseng chicken soup, and asked King Xin unintentionally, "How is Mu Rang doing?" ”
Mu Rang is the younger brother of Princess Xianxin, and since Princess Xin married into the capital, this Mu Rang has also lived in Beijing for a long time.
With the eldest sister here, he doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
After Princess Xin was gone, King Xin took over the eating, drinking, and Lazar of this wife and brother.
Because of this, everyone believed in the king's deep affection.
This is the first serious question Yan Qi has asked since he entered the house! Shinoh's half-drooping eyelashes shone slightly.
Swallowing the soup in his mouth, he raised his eyes to look at Yan Qi, and said with a smile: "After the princess is gone, he is lonely in Beijing, and his family has written several times to ask him to go back, and I have persuaded him, but he is thinking about me and refuses to leave Beijing." ”
"You also know his temperament, in the past, there was always no right way, so I didn't dare to indulge him to go out of Beijing to play."
"I'm quite obedient these days, and I'm learning from my master."
King Shin lived like a loving father in the matter of Murang.
Also, Mu Rang entered Beijing at the age of twelve, looking thin and white, looking two years younger than people of the same age, very cute.
In the past three or four years, King Shin said that he was taking care of his wife and brother, but in fact it was no different from raising a son.
"Why did you ask about him?" King Xin took Yan Qi's bowl and added soup, and asked jokingly, "Did you hear that he was messing around again?" ”
Yan Qi took the soup bowl with both hands and said, "It's not in my hands." ”
When King Xin heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said nervously: "What's wrong with him?" ”
Yan Qi said: "He opened a black gambling house, does the fourth brother know?" ”
King Xin exclaimed, "When! ”
Yan Qi said in his heart: King Xin really doesn't know.
Mu Rang this kid used to rely on the princess of Xin, and then he relied on the king of Xin, and he was a little more arrogant than the gentleman in the capital, and he didn't have the cuteness of his childhood.
Now he dared to open a black gambling house without telling King Xin.
Yan Qi didn't know about it, but now that he knows, for the sake of King Xin's reputation and to avoid the situation from worsening, he has to tell it.
Otherwise, Mu let that bastard temperament, maybe he will poke the sky into a hole that day.
When the time comes, won't you still believe in the king?
Yan Qi said: "I didn't ask about the specifics, but it's been a few days." ”
said suspiciously: "Fourth brother, haven't you heard of it at all?" ”
Although Kirang set up his own mansion, his every move in the past was under the nose of King Shin.
How did he hide such a big thing from the king?
King Xin's expression was solemn, and he shook his head and said: "He has an idea, and his little servant always picks up good things when he talks back and forth." ”
The more he talked, the more gloomy his face became: "I think he has been too obedient recently, and it turns out that he started this kind of business without me!" ”
"There's something I want to ask the fourth brother for help." After talking about Mu Rang, Yan Qi turned the conversation to his own intention.
King Xin's face was surprised, and he immediately retracted his expression, and said, "What are you busy?" ”
In his memory, Yan Qi seemed to be entrusting him with an errand for the first time.
However, what even Yan Qi couldn't do, King Xin was very curious about.
Yan Qi said: "There is a person locked up in Mu Rang's gambling house, and I want the fourth brother to lead people out." ”
If it weren't for King Xin's face, Yan Qi would have spent so much effort and demolished the gambling house long ago.
said it was helping, but in fact it was just giving him a round face! If it weren't for Yan Qi's temperament, where would he do so much? King Shin knew it in his heart.
For a moment, his face was gloomy, as if he was about to drip.
The corners of his forehead twitched, and he said angrily: "Don't you go and bring people back to this king!" ”
Immediately, a servant from outside took the order.
Thinking of Mu Rang's angry appearance, and then looking at King Xin's angry face, Yan Qi naturally took up the style of an elder and persuaded: "The child is not sensible, the fourth brother teaches him to be, don't be angry." ”
King Xin nodded, his anger subsided slightly, and sighed: "The princess was too doting when she was here, and after the princess was gone, I saw that he was alone, so I couldn't discipline him too much..." Saying that, he sighed again, and said ashamedly: "But I don't want to hurt him!" ”
Yan Qi, as a bystander, felt that King Xin had done well enough, and he had long lost patience in the face of Mu Rang's untalented appearance.
King Xin told about his sufferings, and when he saw Yan Qi's face showing compassion, he said sincerely: "Thank you Zi'an for coming to tell me, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark." ”
Yan Qi waved his hand and said no: "Don't say thank you between the two of us." ”
Hearing this, King Xin's eyes showed a look of relief, and he said, "It's just, can you keep this matter a secret?" ”
Yan Qi smiled: "This is nature. ”
King Xin knew that once Yan Qi agreed to something, he would not regret it, and his heart relaxed.
As if he had just remembered, he wondered, "Who did he arrest?" ”
Before Yan Qi came, he guessed that King Xin would ask.
Besides, Uncle Wen's identity will be known as soon as he checks it, and he can't hide it from King Xin.
He said calmly: "It's a steward by Jiang Si's side." ”
Jiang Si?! King Xin was stunned and said in amazement: "Is that Jiang Lingran of the Jiang family?" ”
Yan Qi nodded.
King Xin was surprised: "When did you have a friendship with their family?" ”
Yan Qi smiled: "I can't talk about having a relationship with the Jiang family, it's just that I owe Jiang Si a favor." ”
Saying what he remembered, he said, "Fourth brother, you keep this matter secret for me." ”
King Xin frowned, how much favor does it take to let Yan Qi come to him with such fanfare?
And then there's the matter of An Lubo's Mansion ahead... King Xin naturally had a different kind of suspicion in his heart.
Yan Qi knew his thoughts when he saw his expression, and solemnly explained the words of buying Zhuangzi.
King Xin laughed: "You had a dispute with An Lubo's Mansion two days ago, wasn't it also for Jiang Si?" ”
Just a small hot spring Zhuangzi, worthy of his repeated favors?
Even if he is generous and has to return one to two, he is too eager for Jiang Si at the moment.
Yan Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were shocked.
How did this matter reach the ears of King Shin?
Seeing him like this, King Xin suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, and his heart sank, and he hurriedly explained: "When I went to greet my father, I overheard the conversation between Wan Yu and my father. ”
Yan Qi nodded quietly.
But I was even more puzzled in my heart: how did Wan Yu know?
Didn't the emperor order An Lubo to shut up and not mention Jiang Lingran? Was it tried?
However, according to the friendship between Wan Jia's mother and daughter and Jiang Lingran, even if the trial is out, they will definitely try their best to hide it!
Worry flashed in his heart, and he said, "That's what I told An Lubo." ”
"Their father and son have done a lot of evil, I can't see it for a long time, this time it's just to take Jiang Si's matter as an excuse and clean them up!"
King Xin looked at Yan Qi's subtle expression carefully, and said, "Is this really the case?" ”
Yan Qi smiled and asked, "Otherwise, what else?" ”
King Xin's heart turned.
He said earnestly: "You've been raising that prostitute for some days, it's time to take care of it." Don't be too close to people who don't fit your status, so as not to worry your father. ”
