Chapter 493: Old Fox
Lord Yue was stopping, raising his eyes to see Master Gou who was smiling, and suddenly an inexplicable annoyance rose in his heart, but remembering the terrifying words that Chu Nian's red lips spit out last night, he was a little flustered, so he hurriedly stopped in front of Master Gou and said, "My face is really so ugly?" β
Lord Gou was stunned by his question, and after a while, he stroked his beard and looked at Lord Yue's face closely, and at the end, he frowned and said, "Well, it's really not good-looking, what kind of illness did Lord Yue have?" Why is the spirit so bad today? β
These words made Lord Yue almost collapse, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, his eyes were stunned, as if muttering something, Lord Gou listened closely, and said over and over again, "I was really poisoned, I was really poisoned......"
At this stall, Lu Cheng was coming slowly, and when he saw two people standing at the door, he said in surprise: "Lord Gou, Lord Yue, what are you doing here?" β
Master Gou stroked his beard and seemed to shake his head a little helplessly: "The old man doesn't know what happened to Lord Yue today, but it is indeed not good to see that he is in a bad state." Fastest updateββ"
Seeing that Lord Gou was serious, Lu Cheng couldn't help but be curious, and saw that the middle-aged man also bent over, for some reason, that face looked inexplicably a little gloating, "Lord Yue, what are you doing?" If you don't feel well, go in and sit down early, and if it's not good, it's good to say goodbye to Lord Wang and go back to rest early. β
Who knows, these words somehow stimulated Lord Yue, and I saw Lord Yue Huo Ran get up, his face was pale, and he looked at Lu Cheng with gloomy eyes and said, "I'm worried about Lord Lu, and it's okay to go down." β
His appearance startled the other two, and Lu Cheng glared at Lord Yue with some annoyance, and muttered in a low voice, "My brain is in water." β
As he spoke, he decided not to care about this offspring who had committed madness, turned around and walked into the hall, and Lord Gou on the side glanced at Lord Yue meaningfully, and at the end, he sighed helplessly, and turned to leave.
Lord Yue stood at the door for a while, and when he saw Wang Dazhu's figure from far and near, he suddenly remembered what was going on, and hurriedly chased in.
At this moment, everything has already been arranged in the hall, and a few maids on the side are honestly standing in place waiting for the adults to take their seats, the three of them are seated, Wang Dazhu is in a hurry, his eyes swept over Lord Yue, who was still pale, and coughed lightly, Fang said: "I'm afraid Lord Zhizhou Wang will not be able to preside over the banquet today." β
Lu Cheng's face suddenly turned pale, "Why?" β
Wang Dazhu swallowed his saliva, "I drank too much wine last night and contracted the cold, but he told Ning Ning everything he wanted to explain, and Ning Ning presided over it on his behalf today." β
As soon as these words fell, he saw that the curtain leading to the study was liftedβWang Bimeng liked to sleep in the study, so he simply opened the wall between the main hall and the study, which was often used for gatherings, and there was a tulle in between, and every time he drank too much wine, he simply opened the curtain and slept in the study.
Seeing Wang Ning, the other two adults all looked suspicious, and saw Lu Cheng speak: "I know that Lord Wang loves Ning Ning, but it won't be ...... Adult's business, a little child's family, and a little girl? β
Wang Dazhu looked up at Wang Ning, and saw that Wang Ning was smiling calmly, as if he had long been accustomed to such a scene, and there was no trace of strangeness on his face, "Daddy has no heirs, and the most favored person is only the little girl, and your lord's house is not without important matters, so Daddy asked me to preside over the banquet on his behalf, so I can discuss important matters as soon as possible, and ask you to go back early, where does Lord Lu think it is not feasible?" β
Lu Cheng was speechless, probably at this moment, the girl in front of him seemed to be inexplicably a little more aggressive, so that he didn't dare to refute, and honestly stopped talking, only to see Wang Ning turn around and walk towards the place where Wang Bimeng was originally sitting.
After Wang Ning sat down, he turned his eyes to look at the hall, picked up the tea cup in his hand and said: "In the end, the little girl is a junior, and now she has the opportunity to see the world, and several adults don't mind, my father said, if you adults really don't want to talk to me, then I will be my father's microphone, and the rest will be determined by my uncle Wang." β
The first few people looked at each other, and this party eased a little, and then saw Master Gou stroked his beard and continued: "This is very good, the woman does not let the eyebrows-"
His old eyes were shining with a bit of fine light and observed the complexion of Lord Yue on the other side, and at this moment, Lord Yue was looking at Wang Ning in disbelief, seeing Wang Ning drinking tea calmly, and there seemed to be a bit of threat in his eyes in the blink of an eye.
Lord Yue hurriedly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look at him again.
At this time, I saw Lu Cheng looking at Wang Ning, "What opinions did Lord Wang put forward now?" β
Wang Ning seemed to recall for a while, and then said with a smile: "The important question that Daddy wants to talk about has probably been said yesterday, but today Daddy still wants to know about the situation of your lords' territories." β
Lu Cheng rubbed the corners of his forehead, "It's okay, it's still like that, my Lucheng's income this year is no different from last year, compared to it, maybe Lord Wang's income is more." β
As soon as these words came out, Master Gou on the side hurriedly echoed: "But this is the case, the old man is old, and he hasn't been to see it in person for a long time, and now most of the officials below are looking at it, but in the end, it is a young man, and the means are not enough, compared to other territories, the salt farmers in the old man's place are afraid that it is the most relaxed." β
Speaking, he turned his eyes to Lord Yue, everyone is used to it, usually the old man leans on the old and sells the old, and the favorite bully is the young Lord Yue, and he often speaks at the banquet, Lord Yue is not a vegetarian, others are used to the old man's stinky problem, he is not used to it, usually the old man's voice fell and immediately went back, but today this Lord Yue did not open his mouth for the first time, until he noticed that the eyes of the whole room were focused on him, he was stunned for a moment, and turned his eyes to look at Lord Gou.
His face was very uncomfortable, "That's what I have there, you know, my place is the farthest from the sea, and the production is naturally the least." β
Master Gou raised his eyebrows slightly, a pair of old eyes narrowed slightly, turned his eyes to look at Wang Ning who was above him, and said with a smile: "Yuan Niang, Lord Wang, what else do you have to ask?" β
Wang Ning frowned, she didn't know how to observe words, Master Gou's face and expression had already fallen into her eyes, and she had been by Wang Bimeng's side since she was a child, and she was also clear about how many years the old man in front of her was an old fox.
I'm afraid that the old fox is already suspicious.
But in an instant, Wang Ning's face soothed a little, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, my father undoubtedly wants to ask a few adults, whether there are still some troops on the ground to ensure safety, last night some desperate salt farmers broke into the backyard, fortunately, my father's deployment of the Wang family earlier was also extremely thorough, so I captured those bold people, and now I am afraid that those salt farmers will be ruined, and I am afraid that it will be troublesome when the time comes." β
Lu Cheng took the lead in nodding his head to show his understanding, "I naturally have been prepared a long time ago, and my family has only a few thousand troops, but if it really comes to the day when those salt farmers have the courage to get it, it will be enough to suppress tens of thousands of civilians." β
Wang Ning carefully observed his complexion, and saw that his complexion did not seem to be fake, a moment of darkness flashed in her eyes, and at this point, Wang Dazhu seemed to be about to play an exemplary role and said: "There are also about 5,000 elite guards on my side, please don't worry about your father." β
Lord Gou watched the two of them finish reporting the numbers, but they just drank tea calmly, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that Lord Yue on the side was staring at him intently, and he smiled and said, "Lord Yue, isn't he waiting for the old man to report the number?" But the old man's territory is only managed by a few petty officials, if the mob is also looking for trouble, they are also looking for them, what does it have to do with the old man? β
Hearing this, Wang Ning, who was at the top, raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw the young and vigorous person below gritting his teeth and saying, "Five thousand." β
Master Gou turned his head nonchalantly, facing Wang Ning's inquiring eyes, and saw him smile and said, "What, didn't Yuan Niang think that the old man was deceiving?" The old man never lied, if you don't believe it, you will know if you ask Lord Wang. β
Wang Ning knew that he couldn't pry anything out of the old fox's mouth today, so he was afraid of revealing flaws, so he didn't force it anymore, but just picked up the teacup and said: "How could it be, it's Lord Gou who thinks too much, I'm just a messenger for my father, how can I question what you adults say?" β
Seeing Wang Ning's calm appearance, Lord Fang Gou just smiled meaningfully and did not speak.
β¦β¦
At night, Wang Ning came to Chu Nian and Ming Xiu's wing room with a body of wine, originally she only brought wine with tea, but who knew that the old fox took the rhythm, and the last little girl had to accompany them to drink.
Fortunately, this party can still maintain his sanity to tell Chu Nian and Ming Xiu about the situation at the banquet earlier, Chu Nian frowned when he heard this, and Ming Xiu's eyes on the side also seemed to have a slight puzzled light.
"This old guy is so old and just a prefect, just a prefect, even the face of the governor is not given, there must be some backstage behind it, if His Royal Highness the Prince is not busy, just call someone to find out what is going on, I see, the old fox still has a lot of hole cards in his hand, let's not act rashly."
After these words, Wang Ning nested in the chair beside Chu Nian tiredly, and did not forget to stretch out his arms and wrap around Chu Nian's waist in Ming Xiu's almost murderous gaze, "County Lord, lend me to lean on for a while, I am dizzy." β
Chu Nian smiled, and when he saw Wang Ning's slightly drunken face, he let her lean on, and turned his eyes to look at Ming Xiu, "Did Wang Bimeng say anything?" β
At this moment, the "sick" Lord Wang was locked in the dungeon that Chu Nian had probed from Wang Si's mouth a few days ago, no one went to this dungeon all the year round, and now Wang Bimeng is locked up, this Wang Si is also a commodity who recognizes money and does not recognize people, they knocked Wang Bimeng unconscious, covered his head, and gave Wang Si a few taels of silver and said that he was an assassin caught earlier, so Wang Si smiled and believed it.
Now no one knows that the owner of this great king's family is being locked in a dungeon set up by himself.
Seeing Chu Nian mention Wang Bimeng, Ming Xiu shook his head slightly and said, "He won't say anything." β
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that he has to take the next dose of fierce medicine? Thinking about it, she turned her eyes to look at Ming Xiu, "Your Highness is bothered to take a trip, bring a message to Lord Wang for me, and ......"
