Just when the two people upstairs were chatting one sentence at a time, there was a sudden commotion downstairs, mixed with loud cursing and the sound of a few things breaking, Gu Xuan and Lao Huo, who was from the Eastern Continent, both knew that something was wrong, so they quickly stood up and hurriedly ran down, while Gu Xuan deliberately rushed in front of Lao Huo and ran down.

As soon as I arrived in the lobby downstairs, I found that two people dressed as subordinates were beating the guys in the store, although these two people looked at wearing only the clothes of the family, but the material was not bad Jiangzhou silk, who could make this kind of clothes for the subordinates, there were such financial mansions, and there were few in the capital, obviously they were all domestic servants from wealthy families, and ordinary officials did not have the financial resources and courage.

"What's going on?"

Gu Xuan directly stepped forward and pulled away the two subordinates, since he was five years old, after taking the elixir of the shark clan, his strength is much greater than that of his peers, and he has followed Jinglong to practice martial arts every day for more than ten years, although these two subordinates have also practiced a body of muscles and muscles because of their perennial work, but they were pressed on his shoulders as if they were caught by a pair of iron tongs, and they couldn't break free, so they could only be thrown aside obediently.

And the guy on the ground was also helped up by Lao Huo at this time, this kid just came to the capital not long ago, he has no backing and no job, and he can't find a livelihood, so he can only work as a handyman in Lao Huo's restaurant, after all, if the people in the capital will not conflict with these two families, they can't learn simple words and looks, and they are naturally some young people who have just entered the rivers and lakes.

The conspicuous three-color begonia pattern on the clothes of the two is the family crest of the famous He family, that is, the family of Concubine He Wangshu, the He family is a great family that has been truly inherited for hundreds of years, even if it is Concubine De, who is one of the four noble concubines today, the status within the family will not be too high, after all, although the Liang country is strong, but the history of this country has not yet had a long history of the He family, and the change of imperial power, and their deep-rooted family, it is no different from the flowers blooming outside the courtyard, this kind of family is really powerful.

These two He family's family members are not stupid, how can there be people in the capital who don't know which house they come from, the He family's family crest Sansetang is a thunderous reputation, I don't know how many people want to stutter, there are very few ignorant people like this restaurant guy, but although the person in front of him is dressed ordinary, he feels that his temperament is extraordinary at a glance, and the nobility on his body will be revealed inadvertently, such a person is definitely not an ordinary person.

Since he is not an ordinary person, he should know the family crest of the He family, and if he knows the family crest of the He family, he dares to grab them and throw them away, then he is not an ordinary person.

The one who had a tentative thought said cautiously, "Who are you? Don't you know who we are working for?"

Gu Xuan didn't laugh angrily, and said, "Whoever is doing things for, it's also your master, why are you two beating people?"

The two glanced at each other, and both saw the caution in each other's eyes, and finally the one spoke: "This restaurant is unpalatable, I'm just telling the truth, this little two actually came up to insult the two of us, we are just angry and quarrel with him, why do you want to beat people." ”

The guy who was carefully helped up by Lao Huo covered the wound on his face with one hand, and when he heard that these two family members actually slandered themselves, they cried out angrily, pointed at each other and said loudly: "He talked nonsense, he scolded the food for being unpalatable, and insulted my shopkeeper, I was angry and reasoned with them, so they pushed me to the ground and punched and kicked me。。。。。。 ”

He wanted to say something more, but Lao Huo kicked the guy on the leg from behind, his natural strength as an earth clan was great, this time he kicked the porcelain, so painful that the guy screamed and almost fell to the ground, just turned around in confusion to meet Lao Huo's fierce eyes, and his whole body was excited, and his face was suddenly full of grievances.

"Get out of the back kitchen for me!" Lao Huo crossed his waist and roared, watching the guy leave with a resentful face, and then smiled at the two people dressed as family members, "I'm sorry for the two, the guy who just came, the young man was angry, and he collided with the two, I'll compensate the two of you here, just ask the two of you to raise your hand, just spare him, no, I'll invite the two of you to have a meal, it will be regarded as an apology, how about it?"

One of the family members opened his mouth with disdain, and wanted to say something ridiculous, but was gently ripped by the other person, and then carefully pointed at Gu Xuan over there with his chin, and then hugged his fist towards Lao Huo and said: "It's okay, the two of us are not unreasonable villains, this time I will spare that kid and go." ”

After the two of them finished speaking, they arched their hands casually, broke the things on the ground and didn't say anything about compensation, they turned around and retreated directly, seeing that the people who were watching the excitement outside were also dispersed, Gu Xuan was pulled back to the private room above by Lao Huo, and he didn't even have time to ask the two to stay and lose money.

"Lao Huo, why bother, I came down to you first, just to help you deal with this matter without affecting you, don't you see how wronged that kid is?"

Gu Xuan couldn't help but ask as soon as he came up, although he also understood the sophistication of human feelings, and at the same time knew Lao Huo's concerns, but in the end, the matter ended hastily like this, which made him still uncomfortable.

He remembered that the second brother Gu Cang said something that he felt was very reasonable after listening to it, Gu Cang said, 'Truth is truth, its beauty is that it will not change due to any external reasons, as long as you can stand up to reason, don't be afraid of things'.

After Lao Huo heard this, he just shook his head helplessly: "My prince, you and I have different identities, even if you know my thoughts, you won't understand." ”

After taking a sip of wine, Lao Huo Cai then explained: "Those two are the family members of the He family, they can't afford to be provoked, what can you do? Beat them up or make them apologize? No, people can't afford to offend you, can't they afford to offend me? Even if you don't offend me, it's not easy to buy that kid's life?" I'm here for everyone's good, you don't have to offend the He family, I also have to offend the He family, that kid is an outsider like me and I don't have to ask for this justice, unless he doesn't want to die, the world is a big cage, everyone lives in the rules and regulations, it's not that you can do what you want, you can't afford to mess with others, then you have to be beaten and have to pay for the smile, do you understand, my prince?"

Lao Huo drank the rest of the wine, burped, and his voice was a little lower: "Of course, I also have my selfish intentions, just when I am sorry for that kid, but instead of letting him be killed by others and thrown in the moat into an unsolved case, it is better for me to wait and give him a few taels of silver so that he can subsidize his family." ”

Gu Xuan slowly drank the liquor in the bowl in small sips, and then chewed these words carefully, only to feel that the taste in his mouth was the same as chewing wax, and it was disgusting and difficult to swallow, how could he say this?

But he couldn't say anything to refute it, because it was indeed the same as what Lao Huo said, seeking justice, and in the end it was only himself who was happy, and Lao Huo and that guy were going to suffer afterwards, and there were some things that could not be done rashly, because you don't know if this is a good thing for the parties.

"Don't think about it, I heard that your father's birthday is approaching, do you have any gifts for you?" Lao Huo saw that Gu Xuan's brows were tightly locked, knowing that children of this age might not be able to understand such a truth, so he quickly diverted the topic.

In another month, it will be the forty-third birthday of Emperor Liang Gu Yi.

Gu Xuan shook his head violently, as if he wanted to forget what Lao Huo said just now, and when he heard the other party's question at this moment, he didn't continue to pursue the question just now, some things, if you think clearly, you can think clearly, if you don't understand, just continue to do what you think, and replied helplessly at the moment: "No, you also know the dilemma of my five princes, where is there a way to prepare any decent gifts." ”

The other princes are not like him, the down-and-out fifth prince, the mother clan is at least a county guard, even if they don't vigorously scrape the people's fat and people's ointment, but it's not difficult to find some rare treasures, even if it's vulgar, it's also a sincerity, isn't it?

However, he doesn't even have a person who can use it now, where to find treasures, he has not been a minor in the past ten years, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about this annoying problem, but now that he has reached the age of eighteen, how can he not be distressed, this is on behalf of the sincerity and face of the entire Yongle Palace.

As Lao Huo said, this is the rule, he has to accept these things that he brings from birth, unless he dies.

Gu Xuan asked, "Do you have any good things in your earth clan?"

Lao Huo shrugged his shoulders and shook his head gently: "The earth clan is the most boring, our earth clan is divided into hundreds of tribes, every day is either hunting or fighting, where is there any good thing, the only good thing is wine, but if you want to take my wine to offer, then you are too much to promote my old Huo, but I know that there is an underground market in the capital, maybe there will be good things, I can accompany you to see, anyway, there is still a month, don't rush this time." ”
