Chapter 397

Hey, maybe they're going to serve people. There was a middle-aged man with a white face and a slight beard and black bags under his eyes when he heard this, rubbed his hands on one side and made a rather dirty hey sound, and whispered, "I heard that when Lord Xu is investigating the case, he often travels in the same car with the prince."

As he spoke, he touched his chin in a daze, and his eyes lit up and said, "I just don't know how it is better than the Oiran girl in Qiuyue Tower, I heard that the Oiran also happened to encounter the frame of the prince's car, but it was directly thrown sideways to the side of the road."

The matter of the girl in Qiuyuelou in his mouth was no stranger to those present. There are too many people who use that kind of trick, but in the end, without exception, it has become a joke.

At the beginning, the young girl of Qiuyue Lou was only a performer and not a woman, with a good appearance and high talent, and was deeply sought after by many noble sons. What's more, they want to redeem her with a hundred buckets of pearls. She is a temperamental, and whenever she meets a courtship, she compares herself to Liu Ru.

Originally, this could be regarded as a self-defeating future, after all, the son of a rich and noble family who rejects it every day, no matter what, it has to make people angry and no longer pursue her.

But in fact, it is precisely because of her temperament that there are more and more people who go to Qiuyue Building and ask to see her. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is rushing.

Then one day, when she went out to offer incense, she was frightened on the road and threw her out of the carriage and was injured. At that time, it happened that King Jing'an also returned to Beijing from the temple to investigate the case, and he happened to meet her who was weak and beautiful for help.

According to normal speaking, even if Xiao Qinglang is no longer close to women, he should be kind enough to bring people back to the capital.

Partially, Xiao Qinglang only lifted his clothes and glanced at the horses that were controlled by the guards, and then frowned and waved impatiently to let the woman who was in the way aside. As for pity and cherishing jade, I didn't think about it at all. Even, he didn't even look at Qiu Yue.

Later, after Qiuyue returned to Beijing to recover from her injuries, in order to thank King Jing'an for sending someone to treat the frightened horses, she specially prepared a heavy gift and asked to see her.

The porter saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, so he reported it, and as a result, Xiao Qinglang directly sent the guards who controlled the horses that day to send her.

Later, she came to the door to ask for a meeting to express her gratitude, but she didn't expect to annoy Xiao Qinglang, who directly asked the three law divisions to inspect the frightened horse. It was found that there was also an obvious wound on the horse's body, and the marks and size of the wound were not unusual from the hairpin she was wearing that day.

In the end, this matter has become a joke among people in the capital after dinner. And the girl Qiuyue, who has always been talented and elegant, and who is not stained by the mud, was gradually knocked down from the high altar and became a member of the wind and dust.

The man who had some doubts just now heard the person next to him say this, and hurriedly whispered and persuaded him, "Marquis Changning, you can restrain yourself, you dare to blaspheme the prospective princess of Jing'an Palace, it's really dead!" ”

"Well, so what, he can't hear it left or right. Even if he hears it, is it possible that he will become a dignified King of Jing'an, and he will turn his face with the Marquis of Changning for a woman who shows up and has no female virtues? Changning Hou said, his narrow eyes glanced disdainfully at the man who was talking to him. Then, he touched his chin and swept to Xiao Qinglang, who was still eating, "But even if there is some work to serve people, it is not on the stage after all, can it be compared to those well-bred fair ladies in famous families?" ”

He was muttering energetically, but he suddenly met Xiao Qinglang's eyes. Xiao Qinglang, who was kind and pleasant just now, looked at him with an unusually gloomy look at him at this time.

Xiao Qinglang glanced at Changning Hou meaningfully, and said lightly, "I haven't heard the news of Changning Hou for many days, isn't it that he was beaten badly by the old Hou Ye and hurt the roots?" ”

Changninghou was numb by him, and inexplicably felt that what he had just muttered was listened to by him. But how is that possible? Mo said that he was several people away from him, but King Jing'an, who was not far away and had been entertaining and drinking, how could he notice this?

Thinking of this, his heart gradually calmed down, and he pretended to be calm and said, "The prince said that he was laughing." ”

"Huh. This king never laughs. Xiao Qinglang chuckled, squinted slightly and said indifferently, "Changning Hou has been adulterous with his brother and daughter-in-law for several years, wasn't he being bumped into by the old marquis a few days ago?" If the news of this king is correct, at that time, you almost made the old marquis angry for your own personal affairs, and it was also a loss that Imperial Doctor Zhao's mansion was near the Changning Marquis Mansion."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded. What's more, he looked at Changninghou in disbelief, and a few people sitting near Changninghou subconsciously flashed back.

It's not that they don't believe in the character of the Marquis of Changning, but they believe too much in the words of Xiao Qinglang, the king of Jing'an. After all, what the prince has in his hands is the three law divisions, not to mention the pickled dirty things in the small noble family, even if it is a big and important case, the prince does not know how much he has solved.

What's more, in terms of character, Changning Hou, a well-known person, is really not worthy of belief.

Changning Hou stiffened, his face was blue and purple, angry and annoyed, and his expression was very complicated. It wasn't until the sharp eyes of others looked at him like pins and needles that he turned pale and gasped and said angrily, "When did Ben Hou do that kind of thing, don't talk drunk." ”

Xiao Qinglang raised his eyebrows, and said coldly, "I started ten years ago, several times a month, for this reason, Changning Hou took great pains, and even secretly purchased a lot of Zhuangzi to hang under the name of Changsui I think, among those Zhuangzi, there should be a lot of traces of your concubine, and personal affairs." ”

Changning Hou was shocked in his heart, and suddenly glared angrily at Xiao Qinglang, "Lord Wang, this Hou and Lord Wang have never had a grudge. And a few years earlier, when the prince investigated the case and found the Hou Mansion, Ben Hou was still convenient. Now, is it too unsentimental for the prince to do this. ”

Xiao Qinglang looked at him with a little disgust and murderous intent, and sneered, "I don't have any old grudges, it's just that I have some pity for Mrs. Hou of the Hou Mansion in Changning." I think that at the beginning, she was also a talented woman who moved the capital, and even the Empress Dowager praised her back then, and even her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were the true inheritance of her father, Mr. Lu Shanmu, but she didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing one day. ”

As soon as these words came out, Changning Hou was completely stunned in place, and he didn't dare to say anything for a long time.

Now he has a thought in his heart, it's over. The words he just said were really listened to by Xiao Qinglang. Because he was too panicked in his heart, he even wondered how Xiao Qinglang had heard what he hadn't talked about.

Not only him, but even the man who had just talked to him next to him was not a good face now, and he was in a cold sweat, and he couldn't wait to find a place to hide, so as not to be targeted by King Jing'an. The man really regretted it, how could he not control his mouth and impulsively ponder something that he shouldn't have pondered?

However, others didn't know how the two of them provoked Xiao Qinglang, and they only thought that the reason was really as the prince said.

However, adultery in the Great Zhou Dynasty is a big crime, and it is adultery with his brother and daughter-in-law, which is chaotic and unreasonable, even if it is the position of the marquis, it is difficult to escape heavy responsibility. Partial birth, Changning Hou still disregarded the old marquis's body for that incident, which can be regarded as a big unfilial piety.

The two are punished together, but I am afraid that Changning Hou will not be able to get better.

This Chang Ning Hou was full of panic, and there were officials from the Yushi Observatory secretly thinking about the matter of going to participate in Ning Hou's book tomorrow.

Before everyone could think back to anything, Xiao Qinglang continued, "This king has always thought that women don't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they can't understand women's popularity, but they have a better vision. After all, in the house of everyone, which one lacks the pianist Xixi and the embroiderer? ”

As he spoke, he tightened his cuffs and said casually, "This king just caught a glimpse of Changning Hou chatting with Lord Wang, and it happened that this king knew a little lip language, so he looked at it twice. Seeing that the prospective princess who talked about this king was not skilled and gentle enough, and did not know how to play the piano and ink, but this king thought it was so good. After all, this king is not a person who likes to fiddle with literature and ink, if he likes it, he still prefers to conduct autopsies and investigate cases, such as investigating the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the house of Marquis Changning and Lord Wang! ”

Xiao Qinglang said softly, but every word was extremely clear, which made the faces of Changning Hou and Lord Wang more and more pale.

As for the others, their hearts also turned around very quickly, and it turned out that the prince was justifying Lord Xu's name, but the appearance of protecting the calf like this was something they had only seen in their lives.

In the past, who had ever seen King Jing'an be so interested in a woman? also poked others in the face in public, which of those words did not show his love for Lord Xu?

It's just that in a few breaths, the big guy has a new understanding of the relationship between Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu, and at the same time, he also has a consensus in his heart, it seems that Lord Xu is really unprovoked.

If it's someone else who cares about her, it probably doesn't matter. But the one who cares about her is King Jing'an, who is in charge of the world's prisons, so who dares to mess with her! In case he really provokes someone, the prince will be angry and check out their family, who can guarantee that there is nothing dirty in the family. Even if they themselves stand up straight, it will be difficult to protect their children, nephews, relatives and friends from committing trouble.

King Qi is happy to see Xiao Qinglang's performance today. Although he also felt that his third brother had a bit of a sense of grabbing the home field today, but after hearing the faint threat to Changning Hou and Lord Wang in his words, he instantly figured out the joints inside.

So, as his own brother, King Qi directly lowered his face and instructed the guards outside the door, "Come here, invite the Marquis of Changning and Lord Wang out of the mansion." ”

Changning Hou and Lord Wang still want to say something, after all, if they leave the table halfway, they are afraid that they will not have face in the capital in the future. As a result, the two who were originally worried about whether the dynasty would be impeached tomorrow morning and then punished, they couldn't take care of it much at this time, so they just sued King Qi.
