Chapter 395: Reverse Bargaining

An Guifei's movements faltered, and the sharp stubble stopped only one centimeter away from the nose of Cheng Laosan.

"Just scare and scare him, what are you anxious about." Concubine An glanced at Xia Qingyang with disgust.

Then, together with Xia Qingyang, she turned her head to look in the other direction where the voice came from.

I saw a tall figure in a cloak walk out of the stunned crowd.

This man has long hands and legs, and it can be seen from the pace and gait of his walking, and he is also a person who has been practicing martial arts all year round. And while walking, the scabbard of the sword was exposed from the side of this person's cloak, at least in the environment of Dachun Kingdom, it can be said that this is definitely a rare good sword.

Of course, what surprised Xia Qingyang the most was that although this person's face was not lacking in heroism, he was clearly a woman.

An Guifei was stunned for a moment, and immediately recognized the identity of the person: "Yi ......"

"Childe." The woman in the cloak strode over, and before An Guifei spit out her name, she pressed An Guifei's wrist, "Your righteous action is obvious to everyone present." But now that the winner has been decided, if you continue to hurt people, then the things that take advantage of reason will also become unreasonable, am I right? ”

An Guifei seemed to restrain her momentum at the moment she saw the woman, and became even a little obedient: "But didn't you hear, he was still threatening me until just now." I don't think the winner is yet to be decided, and he clearly doesn't want to be reasonable, and he wants to continue to bully others. ”

The woman in the cloak turned around and looked at Cheng Laosan for a long time, looking at Cheng Laosan with a hairy heart.

Cheng Laosan: "You, who are you......"

"I'm just like these two sons, just a chivalrous and righteous man who sees uneven roads." The cloaked woman said, pacing to the table in the corner that had not been overturned, and looked at the motionless crickets on the table, "Is this the source of your dispute?" I listened to it there for a long time just now, and I seem to have heard you say that this cricket is from Xideng Kingdom, and it is very valuable? ”

Cheng Laosan: "Then there is still a fake?!" Oh, okay, don't meddle with irrelevant people, today's matter, the discussion can't be resolved, I'm going to report to the official next. ”

Cheng Lao Sanyi recalled what happened just now, and he was a lot more confident, and hugged his fist towards the onlookers: "Everything that just happened, the big guys have seen it." We didn't move the people on the other side at all, they were the ones who did it first and wounded my brother. Therefore, after I report to the official, I will help me make a personal testimony to prove that the son of the Xia family not only killed my cricket without losing money, but also called a few people to beat my brothers. Thank you very much. ”

The crowd of onlookers looked at each other, feeling as if this was the case.

An Guifei gritted her teeth, her fists gradually clenched, and her voice squeezed out from between her teeth: "Qingyang, I'm real now, I really want to insert this piece of wood into his head." ”

"I know you want to, but calm down and don't be impulsive." Xia Qingyang seemed to be determined instead, patting Concubine An on the shoulder.

An Guifei was puzzled: "He is going to report to the official, aren't you in a hurry?" ”

"There's no hurry. Originally, my plan was to give him a good beating first, and then use his [hypnosis] talent to brainwash him. ”

An Guifei: ...... Sure enough, it was dark.

"And now?"

"It doesn't seem to be needed anymore." Xia Qingyang leaned on Concubine An Guifei's side and asked her softly, "If I guessed correctly, this woman should be the emperor's own sister, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Dachun Kingdom." ”

An Guifei's surprised expression confirmed Xia Qingyang's guess: "How do you know? Have you seen her? ”

"No, for the first time today. But I've heard before that there is an eldest princess in Dachun who doesn't let her eyebrows go, who once led troops to fight when the whole country was in danger, and also stationed on the frontier. Although she is a woman, she has an influence in the army that is not inferior to that of a general. Xia Qingyang sighed, "When I see it today, I really have an extraordinary bearing." ”

Concubine An: "That's. Sister Yi is handsome and powerful, and she has been the object of my admiration since she was a child. ”

Ren Yi's identity as the eldest princess was personally sealed by the first emperor.

Although there is no precedent for women to be officials in Dachun Kingdom, because of the special status of the "eldest princess", she does not lose to the general princes and kings, and Ren Yi's Wen Taowu is not inferior to men, and after joining the army, she has accumulated great military exploits, so in Dachun Kingdom, everyone agrees with Ren Yi's status and ability, and there are many small biographies about Ren Yi among the people.

"Therefore, since the eldest princess is here, it is impossible for you, the noble concubine, to be escorted to the yamen. I don't want that royal face. Xia Qingyang's gaze fell on Ren Yi's calm expression, "She should have already thought of a way, let's just watch from the side." ”

Sure enough, Ren Yi only looked at the cricket that fell to the ground for a while, and then raised his eyebrows to look at Cheng Laosan: "Forgive me for saying more, are you sure you want to report to the official at this time?" ”

"What time is it?" Cheng Laosan subconsciously asked, and then came back to his senses.

Today is the day when the emperor returns to Beijing. There was a lot of commotion outside just now, probably escorting the emperor's team into the city.

Ren Yi saw Cheng Laosan's hesitation, so he stood up: "Since you said that you are the nephew of Zhongshu Shilang, and this incident involves the eldest grandson of Zuo Cheng of Dali Temple, then this is not a trivial matter, maybe it will be so big that Fu Yin can't solve it." ”

"How so. It's just a fight, and a matter of compensating me for this cricket, how can it get to the top of Fu Yin-"

Ren Yi shook his head: "This is not accurate, if this little prince Xia insists on saying that you have wronged him, this matter will not be easy to solve." ”

At this time, Xia Qingyang suddenly spoke: "I remember that last month, there seemed to be a case where the sons of nobles could not compete with each other, and finally it came to Your Majesty. Since then, His Majesty has decreed that neither the royal relatives nor the sons of eunuchs are allowed to deceive and dominate the market anymore and lose my face. ”

Onlookers whispered.

Apparently everyone remembers it too. After all, that time the emperor Ren Fu was quite angry, and directly posted a document on the display board in the capital.

"For us, it was so long ago, but you still remember." Concubine An whispered in Xia Qingyang's ear.

Ren Yi turned his head to look at Xia Qingyang. Xia Qingyang gave her a friendly smile, and Ren Yi's face softened slightly, and he nodded at her.

After hearing this, Cheng Laosan hesitated. He unconsciously glanced at the crickets on the table, a little worried that if this matter really made a big fuss, his trick would not be exposed-

"Then you say, my cricket is dead, and people are beaten, what can I do if I don't report to the official?" Cheng Laosan asked Ren Yi angrily.

Ren Yi glanced at Concubine An and Xia Qingyang: "Let them pay you money." ”

Cheng Laosan's face was relieved, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

To be honest, he was still worried that Ren Yi really saw something, so he stood up and spoke. Now it seems that she is purely here to make trouble.

"That's easy to say, let's pay according to the price."

Cheng Laosan was proud, but Concubine An was unhappy.

Speaking of which, you still have to lose money, so what's the difference between that and before you didn't beat someone. It's chivalrous, it's useless at all.

Concubine An quietly dragged Xia Qingyang and asked her to hypnotize Cheng Laosan.

Xia Qingyang smiled: "Listen to this woman, lose money." ”

"Huh?" An Guifei was a little unhappy, but Xia Qingyang had spoken, and she could only ask, "How much does it cost?" ”

"The cost of hurting people is calculated separately, and the crickets will be compensated first." Xia Qingyang looked at Ren Yi, and after exchanging a look with Ren Yi, she became more determined, and slightly hooked the corners of her lips, "This big brother said before that he would pay fifty taels." But I don't think so. ”

"Hey, I want to bargain, let me tell you that I specially invited someone from Xideng Kingdom to catch this cricket, and I ...... a cent."

Cheng Laosan didn't finish speaking, but listened to Xia Qingyang say: "Fifty taels is not enough." The crickets are specially transported from the West Deng Kingdom, so the manpower costs, the carriage and horse expenses, and the money for the eldest brother to eat and drink to support the crickets are also costs. So fifty taels is not enough, at least one hundred taels. ”
