243: Suspicious
"Ziyu." Zhongli Boqian was dejected when he saw Wei Ziyu mention his brother, and he himself sighed.
"It's fine." Wei Ziyu pursed her lips, even if she pretended, she couldn't laugh. Turning his head to look at the black moon: "Is there any news from Zhao Linhuai?" ”
"Young Master, not yet."
"It needs to be done as soon as possible, time waits for no one."
"Yes." The Black Moon responded.
"Tell the old man that this young master is out, and there is no need to look for me if there is nothing to do." Wei Ziyu's gaze fell on Zhongli Boqian: "What about Sima Gongzi?" ”
"He, I didn't go to Xiang Ling's predecessor early in the morning, I ate the dishes of the drunken life last night, and he was completely conquered by the delicious taste of the drunken life." Zhongli Boqian smiled wryly.
"Then His Royal Highness the Seventh will accompany me out for a walk, this Weiyang City is the second most prosperous place in the Great Qi Dynasty."
"Okay!" Zhongli Boqian immediately agreed to her proposal.
After following Wei Ziyu out of the drunken life, Zhongli Boqian walked around the Chen Mansion a few times, and only then did he understand Wei Ziyu's intentions, this Chen Mansion was originally Li Tangsheng's mansion, but after the new prefect Chen Lu took office, he changed this place to Chen Mansion.
In this way, this Chen Lu is a thrifty person, and there is no extravagance and waste.
Zhongli Boqian and Wei Ziyu wandered around the mansion for a while, but they didn't find anything unusual. It took a lot of effort to find out that Chen Lu was not in the house, but what was the use of this news?
"Didn't you say take Boqian for a tour of Weiyang City?"
"Let's go!" Wei Ziyu knew that wandering outside the mansion would not help, and staying for a long time would lead to suspicion.
Wei Ziyu originally wanted to probe the bottom of this Chen Lu and see which side he belonged to, he was the prefect personally assigned by the emperor to take up his post in Weiyang City, and he had never heard of such a person before.
"Your Highness the Seventh, do you know this person Chen Lu?"
"Chen Lu?" Zhongli Boqian thought about it in his mind for a moment: "He seems to have been born in a poor family, he is the champion of this year's scientific examination, he can be literate and martial, he has never seen a real person, but he has heard that the noble sons have discussed him." When they mentioned this Chen Lu, they were all resentful. I think they are jealous, and as for his temperament, Bo Qian doesn't know. He came to Weiyang because his father was exceptionally promoted. ”
"No wonder." Yu Ziyu nodded.
The two walked to the market, Zhong Libo looked around, I don't know who ran behind him, suddenly felt that something was wrong, he came back to his senses, only to find that the jade pendant on his waist was missing.
"Thief, stop." Zhongli Boqian hurriedly caught up, he ran awkwardly, looking weak. Wei Ziyu looked at him like this and shook his head helplessly.
Wei Ziyu followed him slowly, watching him chase the thief all over the street, until he disappeared from her sight, she raised her foot to catch up.
"Thief, still running?" Zhongli Boqian chased after him breathlessly, neither showing his abilities too much, but also making it impossible for the thief to escape his sight.
The man ran as hard as he could, looking back at him as if he was afraid that he would be lost.
"Thieves." Zhongli Boqian ran after the thief all the way, attracting the attention of the people in the market.
In the distance, a carriage drove slowly and met Zhongli Boqian's eyes. The next moment, I saw that the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a dark blue figure jumped out, grabbed the back of the thief's neck in three or two steps, and dragged him hard, and threw him in front of Zhongli Boqian.
Zhongli Boqian immediately rushed forward to snatch back the jade pendant on his waist, and when he saw that the thief wanted to get up and run away, he stepped on the thief's body, Zhongli Boqian looked at it fixedly, and always felt that this thief was a little familiar.
"Is this boy okay?" The dark blue figure walked up to Zhongli Boqian and smiled politely.
"Thank you Childe, dare to ask what Childe is called?"
"Are you blind? Don't recognize this as Lord Chen, the prefect of Weiyang? The plainclothes official next to Chen Lu stepped forward and shouted, what kind of person, he doesn't know the prefect of Weiyang, do you want to stay in Weiyang?
"Alas~" Chen Lu turned back to stop the official behind him: "Don't be rude." ”
"I can't recognize the prefect." Zhong Libo was humble.
They were looking for Chen Lu just now, but they didn't expect that because a thief stole their jade pendant, they got Chen Lu's help by mistake, if this is a coincidence, his fate with Chen Lu is really not shallow. If it weren't for the coincidence, could someone lead him to Chen Lu?
Between thoughts, Wei Ziyu ran from a distance, looking at the so-called thief lying on the ground and being trampled under the feet of Zhongli Boqian, Wei Ziyu frowned, and sighed: "When are you going to step on it?" ”
"Huh?" Zhongli Boqian didn't know why Wei Ziyu was suddenly angry, he stepped on the thief and didn't let him escape, this is also wrong? Although he thought so, when he heard Wei Ziyu's voice, he also moved his foot.
Wei Ziyu squatted down and helped the thief up, patted the ashes on his body for him, and smiled gently at him: "I saw you yesterday, what is your name?" ”
"I—my name is Bian Zhibai." He shrunk his neck, it was rumored that the young master was cold-blooded and ruthless, he didn't expect her to be so gentle, and he didn't go to great lengths to help them find the prefect.
"Who is this?" Only then did Wei Ziyu notice an unfamiliar sight beside him.
"In Xia Chenlu."
"Chen Lu." Wei Ziyu smiled, turned his head to look at Bian Zhibai beside him, and nodded with satisfaction. Reaching out and stroking the back of his head, he said gently: "Go back quickly, I'll solve it here." ”
"Hmm~" Bian Zhibai turned to leave, looking back at Yu Ziyu's figure step by step.
Zhongli Boqian rarely saw such a gentle Wei Ziyu, and he was very surprised that what happened to her today, was it because of that Bian Zhibai?
"This son, isn't it okay to let go of that thief?" Chen Lu saw Bian Zhibai leaving and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Wei Ziyu.
"Chen Gongzi, that person is Xia's younger brother, and this person next to him is Xia's friend, they have always been at odds, and the two are playing!" Wei Ziyu raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that Gongzi Chen even has to take care of housework?" ”
"As long as it's not a thief who endangers the order of Weiyang, I naturally won't investigate it deeply."
"Oh!" When Wei Ziyu saw him like this, he must have been a fledgling and full of enthusiasm. After studying hard in the cold window, how many people can understand the world?
"Thank you, Lord Chen, for your help." Zhongli Boqian thanked him again, and complied with Wei Ziyu's intentions, acknowledging that Fang Cai was her younger brother, and also apologized to Chen Lu.
"Say goodbye below." Wei Ziyu turned to leave, and Zhongli Boqian said goodbye to Chen Lu and followed.
Away from Chen Lu, Zhongli Boqian opened his mouth to ask about Bian Zhibai, and Wei Ziyu glanced at him, as if he was still angry about him stepping on that person.
"He's just kind enough to help you find Chen Lu, it's better for you to trample him under your feet and trample him to death." Wei Ziyu glared at him and continued: "He doesn't look very good at martial arts, and he's not very old. The old man has not yet informed me of his identity, and it seems that he is still in the assessment period. ”
"Appraisal period?" Zhongli Boqian looked dazed.
"It's nature."
"Na Boqian apologizes to you." Wei Ziyu glared at him several times for a fool. Well, he can't deal with that man, can he?
"It's fine, you don't know anyway."
"And you're glaring at me?"
After Zhongli Boqian said this, he received several eye knives from Wei Ziyu. He simply shut his mouth and followed Wei Ziyu back to his drunken life.
Zhongli Boqian, who returned to the drunken world, saw the long queue in front of the building, and couldn't help but drop his jaw in shock: "What are they doing here?" ”
"Wait to get drunk and eat in this life." Wei Ziyu explained lightly.
"But it's still early at noon, how can they ......?"
"If you're late, there's no place." Wei Ziyu turned his head and said with a wicked smile: "And they can't have lunch until noon, they should wait until the end of the day." ”
"Isn't it? Are they crazy? ”
"You're crazy."
"Don't you know that this is a drunken life?"
When people heard Zhongli Boqian's words, they refuted him one after another.
Seeing this, Wei Ziyu hurriedly pulled him away: "If there is any problem, you go and ask the old man yourself." ”
Zhongli Boqian and Wei Ziyu came to the backyard, and there were many wooden tables in the yard at some point, and the wooden tables were full of all kinds of fresh vegetables. Xiang Ling was busy in the courtyard with Sima Wanqin, Heiyue was sitting on the side picking vegetables, and the shopkeeper and Bian Zhibai were also helping.
When Zhongli Boqian saw Bian Zhibai, he suddenly realized and walked up to him: "Why are you ...... here?"
"I've seen the Seventh Highness." Bian Zhibai naturally saluted him, neither humble nor arrogant. continued to work with everyone and didn't pay attention to him.
When Bian Zhibai saw Wei Ziyu, his eyes lit up in an instant, he walked to Wei Ziyu with a smile, and pulled Wei Ziyu to Xiang Ling's side: "Young master, today Zhibai has passed the assessment and officially become a delusion, so I am here to report to the young master." ”
"Old man, you have a good eye."
Bian Zhibai heard Wei Ziyu praise him, and he was already happy, and he was happy in an instant.
"This kid is really good."
Fang Cai Bian Zhibai hurriedly ran to get drunk and told Xiang Ling what he had done in this life, Xiang Ling was very satisfied, but he still had to follow him for a while to do it.
"Ahh Wei Ziyu saw Xiang Ling's concerns, and said: "This young master doesn't mind that there are twenty-one fools and a leader in Weiyang City, so he will have a good experience. ”
"But......" Bian Zhibai was a little unhappy: "Zhibai wants to ......"
"Don't even think about it." Xiang Ling interrupted him, and smiled at Wei Ziyu and the stunned Zhongli Boqian, and the two of them sat aside.
"Got it." Bian Zhibai glanced at Wei Ziyu and saw her staring at the Seven Highnesses, so he lowered his head. He originally thought that there was one more delusional person in Weiyang City,
Then he had the opportunity to follow the young master, but he didn't expect the young master to leave him in Weiyang City and face the chief uncle all day long.
The people in the courtyard were busy working, Zhongli Boqian followed behind Xiang Ling, asking this and that, while Wei Ziyu walked to the swing under the old banyan tree by the wall and sat down, quietly thinking about something.
This swing was specially prepared for her by Xiang Ling, and the swing next to the Qing Pond of the Afterlife Pavilion was also made for him by Xiang Ling. When he came to Weiyang City, he didn't get one in the courtyard, and that thing was indeed more comfortable to sit on than a chair.
I don't know why the young master has a soft spot for swings, maybe it is closely related to leisure and elegance, or maybe the young master doesn't like to stay in peace. She has led the Delusional Gate to where it is today, at the cost of losing those pleasures.
