Chapter 16 Meet the Beauty
Although I didn't get enough sleep last night, I woke up in the morning and was still refreshed, and I rarely stretched my waist and went to the backyard to continue practicing.
After breakfast, Xiao Zheng took Xiao Chunzi to walk to the yamen of the Criminal Department. A night has passed, and I don't know if Guan Shirong has found any useful news.
Now there is no need to report it, and everyone in the Criminal Department knows the appearance of His Royal Highness the Prince.
When he came to Guan Shirong's official office, he was not inside. The official reported that Guan had been interrogating prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department and should be back immediately.
didn't let Xiao Zheng wait for a long time, Guan Shirong hurried over, with two dark circles under his eyes, and knew that he had been busy all night.
Seeing that the prince was already sitting on the seat, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Weichen greeted His Royal Highness the Prince, His Highness came down very early~"
"Well, how about having a case in mind? Is there any progress on the merits? Xiao Zheng didn't beat around the bush, and directly asked him if he had any eyebrows about yesterday's incident.
"Your Royal Highness, Weichen is incompetent, I tried it all night, and only confessed that it was Yangzhou Longhumen, they belonged to the Xuzhou rudder, and they were ordered by their helmsman Xu Yingxia to ambush in front of the four gates of the capital, saying that it was to intercept and kill a young man about twenty years old." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Zheng slightly, wanting to see if he had any reaction, "There is no portrait, it is said that he has an extraordinary temperament and is noble... Just kill~"
"Extravagant? Hehe~" Xiao Zheng looked at Guan Shirong with a smile, "Then do you think this king is noble?" ”
"Your Royal Highness is naturally extravagant," of course Guan Shirong knew what Xiao Zheng meant, "Weichen has already ordered to arrest Xu Yingxia with all his might!" Digging deep into this line, Weichen also informed Zhuang Xing, the deputy master of Longhumen, and asked him to rush to the capital! ”
"Aren't you afraid of startling snakes?" Xiao Zheng felt a little interesting about Guan Shirong's arrangement. "What if he doesn't come, or if he sends a message to Xu Yingxia and runs away?"
"As the saying goes, if you run away, the monk can't run to the temple, Weichen is really not afraid that he won't come, hehe~" Guan Shirong smiled slyly, "If something goes wrong, it's really a dragon and tiger door, and Weichen is giving them a chance." ”
"Hmm~ Makes sense. Be prepared, don't get into trouble if you can't catch the fox when the time comes. Xiao Zheng was a little uneasy, after all, the forces in the rivers and lakes of Longhumen were huge, and there might be some chaos.
"Your Highness, rest assured, Wechen has made careful arrangements, and there are many good players in the criminal department, and he will not disappoint His Highness!" Guan Shirong is a package ticket to Xiao Zheng.
"Okay, then the king will wait and see!" Xiao Zheng also felt that Guan Shirong seemed to be quite confident, and remembered his skills yesterday, "What is the teacher of Guan Daren?" I think Guan Daren's martial arts are extraordinary~"
"Back to Your Highness, Wechen's mentor is the first head of the Taiyue faction, and the current head Nie Xuankong is Wechen's senior brother."
"No wonder Master Guan is extraordinary, it turns out that he is from a great faction, and he was taught by a famous teacher." Xiao Zheng received Guan Shirong's puzzle and nodded appreciatively.
"His Royal Highness has won the award, and the micro-ministers have worked hard, which is not enough to worry about. It's not as good as this little Chunzi brother, hehe~" Guan Shirong is a martial artist, and he naturally knows how powerful Xiao Chunzi is when he looks at his skills.
"Haha~ Xiao Chunzi is the righteous son of Father-in-law Fu, and he has obtained the true biography of Father-in-law Fu, do you think he should be powerful?" Xiao Zheng smiled and told Guan Shirong the identity of Xiao Chunzi.
Guan Shirong was in awe, and hurriedly raised his hand, "It turned out to be a high-ranking disciple of Gonggong Fu, and he was clumsy and disrespectful to redeem Guan!" ”
"Lord Guan is polite, and I will take care of Lord Guan in the future~" Xiao Chunzi is also a modest arch.
"Don't dare, don't dare, I have to take care of Father-in-law Chun."
"Okay, you don't have to be humble to each other, if you do this well, there will be this king to take care of you" Xiao Zheng gave Guan Shirong a reassurance. He is from a big faction, whether it is the court or the martial arts, it is Xiao Zheng's rare help, and this sweet date must be given.
Guan Shirong also heard the meaning of Xiao Zheng's words, and immediately bowed to the ground, "Weichen must live up to his mission, and go to the soup for His Royal Highness, and he will not hesitate!" ”
Xiao Zheng stepped forward and helped him up with both hands, "Assist this king well, and this king will definitely not treat you badly." You go to rest first after a busy night, and this king will look elsewhere. ”
Guan Shirong agreed, but he didn't go to rest, watching Xiao Zhengyuan go, his spirit was even more full, he left Taiyue to join the officialdom in order to be able to glorify the ancestors, wealth and glory, is there anything greater than the wealth exchanged for from the dragon's work?
Xiao Zheng slowly walked through the bustling streets of the capital, seeing that it was still early, and listened to the news of the rivers and lakes in the teahouse for an hour.
After having lunch in the restaurant, I slowly walked towards Ruyuxuan.
Seeing Xiao Zheng walking in, the little guy immediately recognized him, "The owner is here, the owner is upstairs, please, I'll call the shopkeeper~"
As soon as Xiao Zheng sat down on the third floor, Lao Li walked in, "The owner is here, what do you command~"
"It's nothing, I'll rest here for a while now, and when I see the young lady from the Qingguo Mansion coming, just come up and tell me." Xiao Zheng looked out of the upstairs window, wanting to see if the people who were thinking about it would come early.
Lao Li was startled when he heard this, and remembered the look of the owner who picked out jewelry and wanted to give the girl yesterday, "The owner, the young lady from the Qingguo Mansion is coming?" That's... That's the young lady of the Qingguo Mansion, and after that... That's..."Lao Li wanted to tell the owner in a hurry, this young lady can't talk casually, then if you can't say it, Ruyuxuan will have to be copied in the future, and no matter how hard the backstage is, it will be bigger than the sky?
"Okay, the owner has his own measure, arrange what you do, you just have to do it! You go down first," Xiao Chunzi instructed Lao Li to go down.
Lao Li left the room tremblingly, wanting to persuade again but afraid of offending the owner, left and right, thinking ruthlessly about whether to wait for the young lady of Qingguo Gong to come, and quietly told her to let her go quickly, so that the owner does not know, the two must not be offended, the more I think about it, the more reliable I feel, and clap my hands, "Okay, just do it." Then he went downstairs.
The wait was the longest, and seeing that Shen Shi had not seen Cui Yi yet, Xiao Zheng was a little anxious, got up and walked around the room slowly.
"Didn't he hear that? Impossible, I must have heard it. Don't you want to come? Or are you embarrassed to come? What can I do? Do you want Xiao Chunzi to go to the Qingguo Mansion to inform me again? Definitely not, it's not polite. ”
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was a little anxious, Xiao Chunzi understood, "Your Highness, do you want the servants to go down to greet you and see where the princess is?" ”
Xiao Zheng had the heart to agree, but he was afraid that Cui would still lose face if he didn't come, so he didn't know whether to let Xiao Chunzi go for a while.
At this time, Xiao Chunzi pointed out the window, "Your Highness, look, the crown princess has arrived." ”
Xiao Zheng walked to the window in one step, and sure enough, Cui was still coming out of the sedan chair, the maid gently supported her, looked at Ru Yuxuan shyly, and hurriedly lowered her head and walked in slowly.
Xiao Zheng hurriedly turned around, straightened his clothes, and slowly walked downstairs.
The shopkeeper has also been looking on the first floor, and saw a sedan chair at the door, and then the maid helped a young lady in, and looked at it, it was really the young lady of the Qingguo Mansion.
Lao Li immediately greeted him with a slightly stiff smile, "It turned out that Miss Cui was here, and there were no new products in the store recently, why don't you come back another day?" ”
"Huh?" The first time I saw such hospitality, it was still in Ruyuxuan, in the past, this old man couldn't wait to fool them into buying more, Xiaoling looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously, feeling a little surprised.
"Ah~No~" Lao Li also felt that he shouldn't say so, "Today, the small shop is taking inventory of the goods, why don't you come back tomorrow?" ”
This is coaxing people outside, Cui still felt a little surprised, but Xiao Zheng asked her to meet in Ruyuxuan when she was Shen, and she hadn't seen it yet, and now she is gone, which is not good.
Xiao Ling snorted even more coldly, and was about to pull the young lady away, when she saw Xiao Zheng walking out with Xiao Chunzi behind.
Xiao Zheng looked at Lao Li suspiciously, as if asking him, "Is that what Lao Tzu told you?" Lao Li was a little overwhelmed, thinking that the good things of the owner were caught, and he stood there trembling with his head down and didn't know what to say.
Now is not the time to worry about him, Xiao Zheng immediately looked at him with a smile, and made a gesture of please, "You are here, please come inside~"
Cui still lowered his head shyly and slowly walked upstairs. Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Zheng with a smile, and instantly understood, Miss is here for a date with Ruyuxuan, no wonder she went out to dress up for a long time today.
Cui still walked to the steps, saw that Xiaoling didn't follow, and gently woke her up, "Xiaoling~"
"Oh~" Realizing that she was a little out of shape, Xiaoling hurriedly lowered her head and ran to Miss.
Xiao Zheng slowly followed behind and walked upstairs. Lao Li was even more scared when he saw it, "This is Lang's wife's intention, and it has been agreed a long time ago, how is this good?" ”
Just thinking about it, Xiao Chunzi turned to glare at him, "Old Li Tou, your brain is broken, and you almost ruined the good things of the owner!" ”
Lao Li Tou also hurriedly ran to Xiao Chunzi's side and grabbed his arm, "You... You have to persuade the owner, this is unacceptable, this is the young lady of the Qingguo Mansion, not something that ordinary people can touch! ”
"Okay, okay, I know what you mean, if I don't kill you sooner" Xiao Chunzi shook off Lao Li's hand and stayed down there, nothing would happen. After saying that, he also went up.
Without thinking about Lao Li's worries, Xiao Zheng took Cui Yi to the private room on the third floor and shouted to Xiao Chunzi for tea.
Then the two of them sat on their chairs, gently covered their faces and drank tea, and only the sound of tea was left in the room. Xiao Chunzi looked at Xiao Ling with her eyes, "Your Highness, why don't we go out first?" ”
Before Xiao Zheng returned, Cui still hurriedly put down the teacup and pulled Xiaoling's arm, "No, Xiaoling is here to accompany me." ”
Xiaoling was also a little overwhelmed, and looked at Xiao Zheng with a tense body and didn't dare to move.
Xiao Zheng also realized that he couldn't keep talking, which would be even more embarrassing, "You don't have to go out, I'm just sending you something~"
As he spoke, he took out the small box containing the jade Buddha from his arms, "I saw that you went to Canaan Temple yesterday, and I happened to have a jade Buddha pendant here, I don't know if you like it or not?" After speaking, he gently handed it to Cui Yi.
Cui still pulled Xiaoling's sleeve, Xiaoling immediately went over to take it, and then handed it to her.
Cui still held it in his hand, hesitated, looked at Xiao Zheng's expectant eyes, and slowly opened the box. The crystal clear jade Buddha feels very comfortable in her hand, and she is a person who believes in Buddhism, so she really likes it very much.
Nodding slightly, he put it back in the box, and then held it tightly in his hand.
Seeing that Cui still really liked this Jade Buddha, Xiao Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved. Then he beckoned to Xiao Chunzi, who immediately took out a rectangular box from his arms, which was the one given to him by Su Guifei.
Xiao Zheng took the box and opened it slowly, there were several house deeds inside, "This is Ru Yuxuan's house deed, and I will hand it over to you for safekeeping in the future~"
Cui still looked at the deed in surprise, then at Xiao Zheng, and quickly turned around, his face was flushed, and he didn't know whether to accept it for a while.
Xiao Zheng saw her shyness, picked up the box and stuffed it into Xiaoling's hand. Xiaoling's mouth opened slightly, staring at the deed in the box, and found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had stuffed things into her hands, and she was at a loss for a while, so she secretly looked at Miss, and saw that Miss had no objection, so she quietly took it in her hand.
When Xiao Zheng saw this scene, he immediately smiled and asked Xiao Chunzi to take the jade pendant, a token like Yuxuan, to Xiao Ling, "Xiao Chunzi, give the token to Xiao Ling"
Xiao Chunzi also immediately took out the jade pendant with the word 'Ru' from his arms and handed it to Xiao Ling. Xiaoling didn't hesitate this time, and slowly took it.
Xiao Zheng watched Xiaoling accept the token, "Several Ruyuxuan in the capital are our industry, and I don't have time to manage it, so you can often go to see it when you have time, and keep it for yourself if you have any good things." ”
Cui still looked at Xiao Zheng shyly, and when he saw that he just smiled and didn't say anything, he stood up gently.
"That's... Then I'll go first~" After speaking, he lowered his head and walked downstairs.
Xiao Zheng hurriedly followed behind, and only after watching her get into the sedan chair and leave, did he slowly return to Ruyuxuan.
Lao Li watched Miss Cui run away shyly, and he was even more worried in his heart, thinking that the owner would not do anything to Miss Cui, this would be troublesome.
Xiao Zheng looked at his unchanging old face and knew that he had misunderstood, but he didn't explain anything, only said, "From today on, I won't be your owner." ”
Then he turned around and left Ru Yuxuan, ignoring Lao Li's shocked expression.
