285. The eldest prince of the Ji family
285. The Great Prince Ji Chang
When the people around him were talking about it, no one thought that the eldest prince Ji Chang would actually stop at an ordinary person who was a small condenser.
"Wait!" Ji Chang changed his original route, turned around and came to the street where Qiao Er was and said lightly.
The eldest prince Ji Chang, who looks about thirty years old, is nearly one meter eight tall, the purple and gold crown binds up the green silk, lying silkworm eyebrows, Danfeng eyes, if his face is a little redder, he is a living second brother Guan, plus that military uniform, crimson cloak, it looks really mighty.
Seeing Ji Chang coming, the onlookers consciously lined up on both sides to make way for Ji Chang and his guards.
"My subordinates meet His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"
"Meet His Royal Highness!"
The city guards all bent down and bowed to Ji Chang!
It is an unwritten rule that people who are in the army do not need to bow on ordinary occasions.
"Get up, what did this person do?" Ji Chang asked flatly.
"Tell Your Highness that this person stole and was caught by his subordinates, but this person refused to admit it, and insisted that the thing was his own. The leader of the city guard replied.
"What did he steal, and how did you find out?" Ji Chang continued.
"It's these spirit crystals, he is sneaky at the gate of Cangyu Pavilion, I suspect that he is acting badly, so I want to search him, but as soon as he hears that he is going to search, he will run away, isn't this a thief?" said the leader of the city guard.
"It's normal for ordinary people to run away when they hear that your city guards are going to search their bodies, not necessarily because they are thieves, since he refuses to admit it, how can you convict him?" Ji Chang asked.
"This ...... Great Prince, you see, his cultivation is only two levels of condensation, and his clothes are all in tatters, how can there be ten spirit crystals, this spirit crystal is also a rare thing for us, let alone him!" said the leader.
"Does he have any arguments?" asked Ji Chang.
"He said that it was a son who rewarded him, but how could such a generous son reward an ordinary person who only had the double of condensation?!" The leader mentioned that Qiao Er only had the double of condensation.
Zhao Yi had already arrived here, and when he found out that Ji Chang had already come here, he did not rush to relieve Qiao Er, but watched from the side like everyone else how the prince of Great Xia decided the case.
"Let me ask you, which prince gave you these ten spirit crystals, where is that prince at the moment, can anyone testify for you? Tell the truth quickly, if you say half a lie, you will not be forgiven!" Ji Chang observed Qiao Er for a long time, and finally decided to try the first trial, so he asked very majestically.
Hearing Ji Chang's question, Qiao Er also trembled, as Qiao Er, who was almost an ordinary person, shouted bravely at the moment when he was close to death, hoping that Ji Chang could become his savior, but it didn't mean that he was not afraid.
Qiao Er got up from the ground, scratched his head, and looked at Ji Chang timidly with his eyes, I don't know if he was stupid or stunned, and he didn't know where to start.
"If the eldest prince asks you, if you don't say anything, you will really be condemned!" the leader scolded.
"Say, speak, the little ones all say. That, the son who rewarded me with spirit crystals was Nian Gongzi of Wuzhou Qianzhuang, and when he rewarded him, he also said, you can't give me more, you can only give me ten spirit crystals, otherwise it will bring disaster to me!" Qiao Er was reprimanded by the leader of the city guards, and immediately replied.
"Wuzhou Qianzhuang, when will Wuzhou Qianzhuang have one more Nian Gongzi, where is he at the moment?" Ji Chang thought for a moment and then asked.
"Nian Gongzi said that he had something to do in Cangyu Pavilion, and I couldn't get in, so I waited for him outside the door, I saw that Cangyu Pavilion was full of big people, and I was a little scared, at this time, these officials and masters came, and they insisted on searching my body, I was afraid, so I ran away, and then I was arrested!" Qiao Er replied.
Although Qiao Er's cultivation talent is not very good, he is still quite clever, and his answers before and after are flawless, methodical, and hierarchical, so that the other party can't find any mistakes.
"You said that the son of Nian from Wuzhou Qianzhuang went to see Cangyu Pavilion on business?" Ji Chang asked strangely.
"That's right, the guards of Cangyu Pavilion are still very respectful when they see Nian Gongzi!" Qiao Er told all the things that the guards he saw were courteous to Zhao Yi.
These words sound a little strange to others, though.
Although Wuzhou Qianzhuang has not been open for a long time, the Ji family still knows a little about the fact that Wuzhou Qianzhuang and Cangyu Pavilion do not deal with it, and it may be possible to say that the people of Wuzhou Qianzhuang go to Cangyu Pavilion to do business, but it is very impossible to say that the guards of Cangyu Pavilion respect the people of Wuzhou Qianzhuang.
Ji Chang thoughtfully walked up to the leader, picked up a spirit crystal from the leader's hand, and looked at it carefully.
"Let him go, this spirit crystal is his, he didn't lie!" Ji Chang said to the leader after inspecting the spirit crystal.
"Great Prince, why? Just rely on this spirit crystal...... the leader is still a little unwilling.
Qiao Er saw that he had hope of regaining his freedom, and his eyes showed a glint of joy.
"This spirit crystal is not our Zhongzhou, although the spirit crystals in each region are similar, but my Zhongzhou has been in war recently, the people have been displaced, and even the monks have fled for their lives.
The spirit crystal on the body of the people in Zhongzhou will more or less have some wind and dust breath, and there are only three people's breath on this spirit crystal, one is his, one is yours, and the other should be the Nian Gongzi in his mouth.
So, this spirit crystal was given by that person, right!" Ji Chang explained.
"The eldest prince is aware of everything, and he is like watching the fire, and the little one is grateful to the eldest prince for clearing up my grievances!" Qiao Er kowtowed while saying words of gratitude.
"Don't thank me, we wronged you in the first place, but, listening to the tone of your voice, it seems that you have also read a few days of books, do you want to do something for the country?" Ji Chang asked Qiao Er.
Qiao Er listened to Ji Chang's words, and was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't heard half of it.
The dignified prince of the Great Xia Empire, who is likely to inherit the Great Unification in the future, actually invited an ordinary person who only had the double condensation to do things for him, not to mention Qiao Er, even the people around him couldn't believe it.
"This Ji Chang drunkard doesn't mean to drink!" Zhao Yi thought in his heart.
Zhao Yi hid in the crowd, and had been observing Ji Chang's handling of things, and Zhao Yi was very satisfied with Ji Chang's ways and methods of handling things, as well as the final result.
It was just that after hearing Ji Chang's final proposal to Qiao Er, Zhao Yi had to take another look at the great prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"He must have guessed that my identity is not ordinary, while cooperating with Wuzhou Qianzhuang, he can also get the respect of the guards of Cangyu Pavilion, and he has a generous shot, and he is ten spirit crystals for an ordinary person, he wants to find me through Qiao Er!" Zhao Yi thought in his heart.
And the leader of the city guards on the side heard Ji Chang's words, and he was not calm for a while.
"Great Prince, how can this be, he only has two levels of condensation, what can he do?" the leader wanted to block Ji Chang's thoughts.
"What do you know, although this person's cultivation is not high, but he is much more organized than you, go, apologize to others, and return the spirit crystal to him!" Ji Chang not only did not follow his advice, but also asked him to apologize to Qiao Er.
At this time, Qiao Er had just woken up from his stunned state, and after hearing Ji Chang's words, he said: "That, thank you for the kindness of the eldest prince, there is no need to apologize, no matter what, it is not easy for the city guards to manage the security of Longyang City every day, and it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes in the process."
Besides, they didn't arbitrarily correct the Fa on the spot, which is already very good, and the spirit crystal will be fine for me, so there is no need to apologize!"
"This ......" The leader of the city guard, who was about to return the spirit crystal according to Ji Chang's order and apologized, stopped there with some embarrassment.
"Qiao Er, how can this kid talk completely different from before?!" Zhao Yi was also surprised when he heard Qiao Er's words.
In Zhao Yi's opinion, Qiao Er is a disciple who only drinks the market, and Qiao Er's performance before is indeed in line with the image of a market gangster, but at this moment, Qiao Er feels like a child of a big family, polite and extraordinary.
"What's your name, where is your home, and why did you end up in such a situation?" Ji Chang also guessed something from Qiao Er's conversation, so he asked with concern.
"Vulgar people, no matter what their background, the little ones still have to go to Cangyu Pavilion to wait for Nian Gongzi, and thank Your Highness again for your great kindness. Qiao Er bowed, took the spirit crystal from the leader of the city guard, and walked in the direction of Cangyu Pavilion without looking back.
"Bold, you ......" Qiao Er had already gone far away, and the leader reacted and wanted to catch up.
"Stop, this person is not moved by wealth and nobility, are you trying to discredit Great Xia in the past?" Ji Chang scolded.
"But the eldest prince, he is too ignorant of lifting. I actually refused your invitation!" the leader said in an airy voice.
"Judging from his performance, I'm more interested in the Nian Gongzi in his mouth!" Ji Chang said, a flash of inspiration in his eyes.
"Hey...... Don't want to keep a low profile anywhere!" Zhao Yi thought leisurely in his heart.
Zhao Yi saw Qiao Er go back to Cangyu Pavilion, and he also left from here, he wanted to pretend not to know to test whether Qiao Er would hide this matter.
When Qiao Er came to the gate of Cangyu Pavilion, he happened to see Zhao Yi walking out of the gate of Cangyu Pavilion.
"Childe, you're out?!" Qiao Er said when he saw Zhao Yi hurriedly saluting.
"Well, have you been waiting for me here?" Zhao Yi asked as blandly as before.
"This ...... Childe, just now I was taken away by the city guards of Longyang City, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Great Prince saw everything clearly, gained insight into the truth, and said that I let it go?!" Qiao Er told the truth.
"Hahahaha, I already knew this, I was in the crowd when Ji Chang dealt with things just now, I just wanted to see if you would tell me the truth.
In this way, you are still quite honest, let's say, your life experience?" Zhao Yi didn't go around the bush and asked directly.
"Background...... Childe, I'm ......," Qiao Er said with some reluctance.
"Don't you want to say, okay, I won't be strong, so let's do it, just because I'm going to stay in Longyang City for a few more days, you can continue to be my guide!" Zhao Yi saw that Qiao Er was very reluctant, and he didn't force it, and said flatly.
"Thank you Childe for observing the difficulties of the little one, the little one must serve the child well!" Qiao Er was about to kneel down when he spoke.
"Stop!" Zhao Yi lifted Qiao Er up with a burst of spiritual power and said, "I am neither an official nor your elder, you don't need to make such a big gift to me." ”
"It seems that the charm of this Nian Gongzi is stronger than the charm of my Great Xia Dynasty! I wonder if this prince is lucky enough to get acquainted with Your Excellency?!" A voice came from not far away.
"The Great Prince?!" Zhao Yi didn't reply immediately, but Qiao Er shouted.
