Chapter 56: A Talented Man in the Cottage
With Chen Mu's current martial arts, it is okay to fight any of them alone, but as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and one against five, it is really a bit difficult for Chen Mu.
Now that he had a sword around his neck, Chen Mu didn't move, but waited for what the other party said.
The older man just now said, "Then say a few words to him", Chen Mu didn't understand what kind of black words it was.
At this time, Li Biao, the commander of the guards of the Prince's Mansion, and the guards arrived.
I don't blame them, but there were too many people around just now, some running around, and some standing onlookers. And Li Biao and they are not like the other party who can work lightly, and they can jump in from the crowd.
Until now, the man's sword was on Chen Mu's neck, and some of the onlookers were afraid of their lives, so they turned around and ran away. This gave Li Biao a gap for them.
Li Biao almost went crazy when he saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was being restrained. I just wanted to call the prince, but I remembered that His Royal Highness the prince had told him before going out that no matter what the situation was, his identity should not be revealed.
This makes sense, if it is a general situation, exposing his identity will only make it impossible for the surrounding people to continue living, and Chen Mu himself will not be able to go shopping.
In this situation now, it is even more impossible to reveal his identity, if it is just a street quarrel, the other party may not treat Chen Mu well.
If the other party knew that Chen Mu was the crown prince, he might be afraid of being punished, and maybe he would kidnap Chen Mu and use it as a threat.
So Li Biao changed his words again.
"Too, bah!"
"Let go of my son-in-law!"
The older man glanced at Li Biao and them, "Hehe, he's nosy, let go of that dog official, I don't kill him, it's for my brother's sake, let him go?" Why? ”
Li Biao said hurriedly: "If you let my son-in-law go now, you will not be guilty of the past." ”
The man known as Brother Wang looked around, and the dog officer had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
He walked up to the older man and said, "Big brother, let's go first, this place is not suitable for a long time." ”
The big brother nodded, "Okay." ”
As he spoke, he shouted to Li Biao again: "I took your son-in-law away, and if I want him to go back, I will bring that dog official to change!" ”
There were two people next to him, one left and one right, who grabbed Chen Mu's arm, and wanted to take Chen Mu away.
Chen Mu also wanted to see what was going on, whether there was a dog official or a Diao Min.
"Li Biao, you go back first, I'll go with them to have a look."
"Yes." Li Biao had no choice but to agree.
At this time, Liu Susu and Mei Linger also came over.
Liu Susu shouted: "Husband! ”
Chen Mu gave her a smile, "It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”
As he was talking, the two people next to him pulled Chen Mu and walked in the other direction.
Liu Susu wanted to chase again, but was stopped by Mei Ling'er.
"Sister, it's useless to chase after it now, hurry up and call someone to report to the emperor and let the emperor send someone to save him. I believe that with the wisdom of the husband, it will be fine. ”
Liu Susu bit her lip and nodded.
Li Biao led people to escort the two back to the prince's mansion, and then hurried into the palace to meet Chen Xingtian.
"What? There are such bold thieves! Chen Xingtian said angrily.
He thought for a moment and said, "Order, ask Zhang Zhong to bring a hundred people, take the prince back first, and leave those thieves to the army to exterminate." ”
Li Biao agreed and left.
Chen Xingtian stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.
"Mu'er, you must not be fine."
……
The five of them took Chen Mu all the way to a hill outside the city.
The mountain has no name, just the remnants of a large mountain next to it. The hill is not high, the place is not big, and from a distance, you can see a house on the mountainside, which seems to be the nest of these five people.
Chen Mu asked lightly, "Are you thieves?" ”
The older man said, "Humph! According to your government, they are bandits. It's just that we are not like your government, we never bully the common people, what we do is to rob the rich and help the poor. ”
Chen Mu smiled: "What's wrong with the rich? Because you have money, do you deserve to be robbed? ”
The man wanted to say more, but was pulled by Brother Wang.
Brother Wang asked Chen Mu: "You are the son of the old man's family, right?" ”
Chen Mu thought for a moment, "Well, it is indeed the son of the official family." ”
Brother Wang: "Don't worry, as long as your family brings that dog official, they can replace you back." ”
He could see that Chen Mu was the son of a big official, at least bigger than the official position of that dog official, otherwise that dog official would not have that attitude.
But he couldn't imagine that Chen Mu was the prince, because he had seen the prince, and he didn't look like this. He also couldn't believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would dress up in disguise and accompany the woman out shopping.
After going up the mountain, Chen Mu found that this was indeed a cottage, with walls, gates, and guards.
A few people were walking inside, and one of them came over and asked, "Big brother, who is this person?" ”
Brother Wang said: "I'm going to kill that dog official today, and this person stopped me from killing." ”
The man was surprised: "Brother Wang, you really went to kill him, oops!" ”
Chen Mu looked at this person, and it didn't look like he knew martial arts.
"This brother, did he kill the official for you?"
The man clenched his fists and said: "It's Brother Wang who fights for me, that dog official is corrupt and perverts the law, but it should be dealt with by the government, and Brother Wang is also guilty of killing people." ”
Brother Wang hurriedly said: "The government disposes of it? Haven't you heard of officials protecting each other? Only if we do it ourselves! ”
Chen Mu smiled slightly, "How do you know that the government will not deal with it, this brother, don't worry, if I Chen Mu encounters this matter today, I will definitely make the decision for you." ”
Several people were shocked.
"Chen Mu? Are you the crown prince Chen Mu? ”
Chen Mu stretched out his sleeves and wiped his face twice, and everyone saw that he was really a prince.
The man who came to speak immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The grass people don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The few people next to him were the same, and they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Chen Mu saw that these people had a good impression of themselves.
"Get up, tell me what the official did?"
Several people were embarrassed, they all knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been on an expedition to Fanbang these days, raising the prestige of the summer, and giving relief to the victims and distributing cotton clothes.
A lot of useful things were also invented, which brought convenience to their lives.
Especially the person who came to speak, he thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the bottom of his heart for promoting the imperial examination system.
Pity.
He sighed and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, villain Feng Zhong, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promoted books, I was fortunate enough to buy one and then study it every day. ”
"Recently, I heard that a scientific examination was going to be held to select talents, and the villain was ecstatic and immediately went to sign up. It's a pity that the dog officer actually asked for money, but I couldn't take it out, so I begged him to ignore it, and asked someone to beat me out. ”
