Chapter 130: Never Leave
Borrowing the name of the Holy Kingdom Mansion, Li Cha easily blended into the Liwang Mansion.
"When did my Huo family's cousins have this handsome little boy?" On the way, Second Master Huo couldn't help but look at Huo Xiaoting and asked.
"Second uncle, don't worry, this is a friend I invited." Huo Xiaoting could only explain this for the time being.
Li Cha took the opportunity to quietly hug his fist at Second Master Huo and saluted.
This little boy behaves and dresses very decently, just looking at the fine skin and tender meat, the fat powder is a little thicker.
Second Master Huo bowed slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Qia.
The look was skeptical, and the meaning was clear: My nephew has always been a reliable one, how can there be such an unreliable friend as you.
Li Cha could only shake off the folding fan and enjoy the scenery of King Li's mansion.
It's just that before he had a chance to appreciate it, he was taken to the outer courtyard.
It turned out that Huo Xiaofeng was locked up in the firewood room in the outer courtyard.
This made Li Qia a little surprised, she had to be a guest room anyway, but she could completely figure it out.
It stands to reason that Huo Xiaofeng is the founding general, and with the prestige of the Huo family in Da Zhou, he is not a thief and should not be treated like this.
But the second prince, as the only son of Emperor Jingming who was crowned king, and his son-in-law, has always regarded himself as a prince, so he naturally has a little more tough and no one in his eyes on this matter.
There's no way, who let that prostitute be favored by the second prince now.
A few people came for Huo Xiaofeng, and naturally they didn't receive any good hospitality, let alone tea, and they didn't even have well water.
The one who came forward to receive a few people was a eunuch, presumably following the second prince from the palace, and the style was naturally incomparable to that of ordinary servants.
He led a few people to the firewood room of the kitchen, raised his head and said sharply: "The prince means to give the Huo family a face, and people can see it, but the crime committed by the second son of Huo is unforgivable." ”
After speaking, he didn't give anyone room to speak, so he threw up his sleeves and twisted his body and left.
Angry, Second Master Huo snorted, and took them directly to the firewood room.
The door of the firewood room has been locked, and the door is guarded by the guards of the palace, which makes people feel like they are visiting the prison.
When the guard saw someone coming, he took out the key and opened the lock, and pulled the door open.
There was no light in the room, it was dark, the wooden door creaked, and the smell of dead firewood came to the nostrils.
But all this is muffled by a shrill and somewhat miserable and frightening scream.
Li Cha was very familiar with this kind of voice, which she had heard countless times in the pet hospital in her previous life.
If it weren't for the fact that the little ink monkey was in extreme pain, how could it make such a heart-rending and almost pleading sound?
I don't know what kind of persecution this little ink monkey has received, and her heart is tightly pinched.
Huo Xiaoting borrowed a lantern from the guards guarding the door and carried it into the firewood room, and Li Qia followed behind.
The first thing that caught my eye was Huo Xiaofeng, who was tied up by the firewood, and when he was so illuminated by the lantern, he didn't have time to put away the panic on his face.
When he saw that it was Second Master Huo and Huo Xiaoting, his face showed surprise, "Second uncle, eldest brother, you are here to take me home." ”
It's hard to say whether I can take it home today.
After all, it was the ink monkey he gave to the second prince that injured people.
This hurt the prostitute and provoked the second prince to be angry, what if this hurt the second prince?
The people who are afraid of being angry at this time should be Emperor Jingming and Empress Wei.
Second Master Huo was silent and stepped forward to approach him, "Brother Feng, what's going on?" "Only by carefully understanding what happened can we solve this misunderstanding.
Taking advantage of the fact that Second Master Huo took this step forward and gave way to the door, Li Qia was able to follow him into the firewood room.
However, the sudden influx of so many people obviously scared the little ink monkey tied to the wooden pillar.
It squeaked and screamed, trying to escape from the restraints on its body, but the rope on its body tightened tighter, and its slender neck seemed to be broken. Li Qia was distressed when he saw it.
"Is that what it's to blame?" Second Master Huo obviously couldn't ignore the existence of the little ink monkey, because he was so noisy that people couldn't calm down and speak.
"Now it's also the key to solving the question." Huo Xiaoting's eyes looked at the little ink monkey, and then at Li Qia, whose face was full of worry.
She's always like that, and she's more interested in animals than about people.
Li Cha slowly approached the little ink monkey.
"Watch out for it going berserk." Huo Xiaofeng reminded her behind him, and asked, "Are you the girl by the window of the restaurant today?" ”
"Girl?" Second Master Huo also suddenly looked at Li Qia.
"The way you look at that ink monkey is exactly the same as when you were by the window of the restaurant today." Huo Xiaofeng added.
I didn't expect Huo Xiaofeng to be so careful, and he recognized her at a glance.
"Little girl, the ninth girl of the Li family in Xicheng." Li Cha knew that he couldn't hide it, so he reported to his family.
Second Master Huo looked at Huo Xiaoting with a sudden realization, and it was written on his face.
What turned out to be like this, as if he couldn't leave Li Jiu for a moment.
Huo Xiaoting hurriedly shifted the focus of everyone's attention, and turned to look at Huo Xiaofeng, "Second brother, tell me about the origin of this ink monkey." ”
Li Qia also wanted to know this question, but it was still very painful to look at the little ink monkey.
She pricked up her ears to listen to Huo Xiaofeng's words, and took out a pink peanut from her purse, and carefully fed it in front of the little guy to eliminate its sense of vigilance.
Li Cha remembered that this kind of little guy liked peanuts the most, but now he saw that his front paws kept grabbing his little head, and he didn't look at the peanuts.
Humans and animals, alike, have a good appetite only when they are healthy. Li Qia's hand that wanted to pinch a peanut again paused.
I don't even want to eat, and there is indeed a problem.
I heard Huo Xiaofeng already say: "I bought this ink monkey from a dealer, I was very well-behaved when I bought it, and I can help you polish and lick the ink, and I also raised it by my side for four or five days before I dared to give it to the second prince." ”
"Could it be that this ink monkey was drugged by something, and only you were well-behaved for a few days, and then your ferocity was exposed?" Second Master Huo asked again.
"No, this animal itself is not ferocious. What's more, it's only a little bigger, and the drug is not easy to control at all. Moreover, the dealer who sold it to Huo Ergongzi didn't know that he would stay by his side for a few days, and there was no way to give this medicine. ”
Second Master Huo glanced at Li Qia, and wanted to say how could she, a girl, know this?
Suddenly, I remembered that the lady of the family seemed to have mentioned to him that the ninth girl of the Li family, who was married to his eldest nephew, seemed to be a person who liked to attract cats and dogs.
He usually lives in the barracks, where has he heard anything about other people's little ladies, and at that time he only said that his wife was hearsay, and he choked her not to talk about his wife's tongue.
Now it seems that this nine girls of the Li family are really a person who is difficult to explain.
He shifted his gaze from Li Cha's body to his eldest nephew......
