“… You don't meddle! I'm here to find Ah Mei! The young man who spoke outside the courtyard was richly dressed, his chin was slightly raised, and his face was full of arrogance except for some bruises.

In front of him stood five or six men dressed as domestic servants, confronting the troupe.

Ah Mei stepped forward with a calm face and said, "Gongzi Xie, I have made it very clear to you, please respect yourself." ”

"Miss Mei." Gongzi Xie hurriedly squeezed out a smile, pulled away the servant, and approached: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to invite the girl to have a light meal." ”

Ah Mei coped impatiently: "You can also see, I still have a bunch of things here-"

He suddenly grabbed Ah Mei's wrist, shook his head and laughed, "Your little hand... You shouldn't do this menial work. ”

A crisp slap sounded, and there were five more red marks on Gongzi Xie's face.

"You!" He covered his face and shouted at the servants: "You guys! Smash this for me first! ”

Ah Mei withdrew her hand and took a few steps back, and the people of the troupe followed and stepped forward to block the domestic servants who tried to do it.

At this imminent moment-

"Where did you find all that?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile leaning on the door frame with wine and meat in one hand.

The familiar voice made Gongzi Xie stiffen, and he blurted out and asked, "Why are you a dead cripple again?!" ”

"This king is also pondering, why can you let this king bump into you when you do something lacking in virtue?"

This Gongzi Xie is Xie Yizhang, the grandson of Xie Duan, the imperial history of Zuodu.

Some time ago, because she was molesting a woman from a good family, she was being bumped into by Zhao Chen, who was lounging, so she instructed the guards to beat him up, and further back, there are countless similar things.

And the first time was when the other party took the lead in laughing at Zhu Li when he was a child.

Seeing Zhao Chen coming, Xie Yizhang hurriedly hid behind his servants, and shouted fiercely: "You'd better not think crookedly!" These are the masters who protect me! ”

Looking at those Lian Jiazi with shiny eyes and bulging arms, Zhao Chen smiled even brighter.

She patted the chest of the servant in front of her, and said, "Don't say it, it's really strong." After a few clicks, her voice changed: "The key is that he dares to beat this king?" ”

Her provocative voice sounded very begging, but the servants still kept silent as if they were dumb.

Seeing this, Xie Yizhang suddenly felt a little bottomless, and shouted boldly: "Anyway, my mother said, if you dare to beat me again, they will be able to fight back, and the queen's aunt will call the shots!" ”

Although he didn't dare to raise his head, Zhao Chen still believed this.

Not to mention the generations of the Xie family, after five dynasties and outstanding achievements, the queen of the current dynasty came from the Xie family's room, not only had a prince, but also had many years of holy favor, she was much stronger than her, an empty shell prince.

But she has never cared about this, she is causing trouble left and right, as long as the sky does not fall.

"Don't be afraid, this king won't beat you today." She dragged her feet for a few steps, and suddenly sat down on the snow, sighing, "However, these masters are too hindering our brothers from greetings." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the guards of the Wuwang Mansion rushed out of the alley next to her, and it was Han Feng who led the team.

"Don't hurt them, they're just doing their job." Zhao Chen casually instructed, turned to Xie Yizhang, and beckoned with a smile: "You come, let's discuss something." ”

Without protection all around, Xie Yizhang was as uneasy as being stripped naked: "You, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Chen beckoned again, smiling extremely amiably.

He lowered his head and struggled for a while before he stepped forward resignedly, subconsciously closing his eyes.

Zhao Chen shook his head amusedly, turned around and said, "You all go and get busy!" I'll talk to Brother Xie. ”

The people of the troupe looked at each other, and it was not until Meng Yongdang entered the courtyard that they all dispersed.

Ah Mei stopped in front of the door, awkwardly for a while, quickly saluted Zhao Chen, and then closed the door tightly.

Zhao Chen retracted his gaze with a smile, pulled Xie Yizhang to stand up, patted the floating snow on his body, and whispered: "Last night, an assassin went to this king's mansion——"

"It's not me! Definitely not me! He hurriedly waved his hand: "Even if I want you to die, I won't be stupid enough to use a killer, no, no, I mean, the killer is really not what I was looking for!" ”

"Alright, this king knows it's not you." Without waiting for the other party to breathe a sigh of relief, she said again: "It's a pity that others don't know, after all, the person who has been grudging with this king recently is your grandfather except you." ”

"What do you mean?" Xie Yizhang was anxious, and he didn't care about being afraid, so he shouted with his neck: "His old man can't get used to those things the most!" How could it be him! ”

"It means that your Xie family has the most motive to harm this king." She sighed helplessly: "No way, seeing that someone is worried about this king's life, if it is not reported to His Majesty for strict investigation, how can this king be at ease?" ”

"But you also know that there is nothing in this world that is not afraid of investigation? What's more, Lao Xie's straight temper, in the past few decades, he has offended everything he can offend, it's easy to say that there is no reason for this, but it involves the assassination of the prince of the dynasty——"

The principle that the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing is applicable at all times.

She looked at Xie Yizhang with a smile: "Even if you know that it wasn't done by your family, those political enemies of Lao Xie Chao will probably take the opportunity to find out about your family, right?" ”

After all, Xie Yizhang was born in a big family, although he messed around all day long and didn't do anything serious, but things like power and people's hearts were poured into his head since he was a child.

At this time, he thought much more than Zhao Chen said, so much so that his face turned pale with fright.

It was also at this time that the so-called masters were all caught and pushed into the alley.

Xie Yizhang asked calmly: "Say it!" What exactly do you want? ”

"This king just wants to know who sent someone to disturb his dream last night." She patted the other party on the shoulder, "If I'm not mistaken, your fifth uncle seems to be quite close to this kind of person, how about asking him to help investigate this matter?" ”

Zhao Chen couldn't help but smile.

Last night's killers all had drugs in their mouths, and their moves were varied, and the most reasonable guess she could think of was those who traveled around Beijing and specialized in collecting money to do secret work.

It's just that those people have always been tightly hidden, and they don't easily come into contact with strangers, and she was thinking about where to find a way to check, and Xie Yizhang sent them to the door.

didn't hear the expected lion open his mouth, Xie Yizhang couldn't help but be stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Nothing else?" ”

"By the way, there's something else." Zhao Chen seemed to have just remembered something.

Xie Yizhang secretly said that it was really not so simple, and his heart was a little more suspenseful.

"Take out all the value you have." Zhao Chen looked him up and down, and said disgustedly: "Forget about the clothes, it looks like a feather duster." ”

"Huh? You're going to—"

Zhao Chen pursed his lips impatiently, and without waiting for him to finish his ramblings, he searched it himself.

In the end, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't know if it's

Although she is a prince, after all, there are still people in the house to support, and she has to give small gifts to the palace people from time to time, plus the land she gave to the theater troupe before-

If you don't make some windfalls, how can you live? But fortunately, Xie Yizhang really has the goods.

Silver tickets, jade ornaments, emerald green wrenches... In the end, he also removed the jade crown from his head.

It wasn't until she shaved the other party clean that she nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, let's go, you can get it in the alley yourself, just take care of their mouths." ”

Xie Yizhang hadn't recovered from being robbed, so he only answered blankly and walked towards the alley.

Seeing Zhao Chen's satisfied face, Meng Yong, who was standing quietly in the dark, couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
