A group of arrogant ironclad sergeants broke into the restaurant and demanded that the store clear everyone out in an irrefutable tone, and of course Su Bottle's plum dye was also within the scope of being cleaned up.

Then the shopkeeper begged everyone to leave with an apologetic look, and said, "You don't need to give the money for the meal, the military master has already chartered the venue."

A person like Mei Ran, who just happened to have a full meal, was secretly happy in his heart and urged Su Bottle to leave quickly. Su Bottle stood up slowly and walked out of the restaurant leisurely.

As soon as he went out, he saw a luxury carriage coming, the coachman pulled the reins, and the four horses neighed and stood still. There were also black-robed ironclad cavalry in front of and behind the carriage, standing collectively and kicking up a cloud of dust. When the dust fell, the curtain opened, and a slender young man stepped out of it.

Emperor Wanlong's second brother "and king" Zhao Lin.

The reason why I can know his name is because his guards hold the "Lin" character Wang Banner, and he is wearing the prince's nine python big black robes and the prince's crown.

The so-called "python" is actually very similar to a dragon, that is, each dragon has one finger less on its claws. The requirements for clothing in various dynasties are different, even in different countries in the same era, for example, the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty also wears dragon robes, but there are seven dragons, two less than the emperor.

"Why is the prince so thin?"

Many people gathered around, gathered in a semicircle, to pay homage to the prince, Su Bottle Mei Ran was also among them, seeing Zhao Lin's face and a dog tongue, Mei Ran couldn't help but sigh.

Su Bottle said in a low voice: "Do you think that the princes should be big fat people?" ”

Mei Ran said: "They are usually lazy to eat, they should be fat." ”

Su Bottle said: "Some people are born not to eat fat. Besides, princes may not all be lazy. Some princes study and practice martial arts, and they are also very hard. ”

Emperor Tiande has worked hard over the years, and has a total of seventeen sons and sixteen daughters, but the death rate of the princes and princesses of the Liang Dynasty is very high, just like the Qing Dynasty. Among the 146 princes and princesses of the Qing Dynasty, as many as 74 died before the age of 15.

Why the premature mortality rate is so high, I will not repeat it, but only say that there are still nine princes left. Emperor Zhao Tian of Wanlong, Zhao Lin, Zhao Xuan, Zhao Xuan, Zhao Meng, Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian, Rui Zhaoman, Zhao Teng, Zhao Sheng, and Zhao Di, Kang.

King Kang was only three years old, and Emperor Wanlong didn't let him go, and he still lived in the palace. has no father or mother, no one cares, and runs around like a little wild child all day long. I can often hear the voice of the palace maid and eunuch calling him, for fear that he will run away.

And Zhao Changchun, the king of Qi, Zhao Gong, the king of Teng, and Zhao Zhenhu, the king of Xiang, were the princes of the previous generation. After Emperor Wanlong ascended the throne, the first person to be killed was King Xiang. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other old princes gave up their military power and left Luoyang. Only King Qi and King Teng, the two former main princelings, remained.

Seeing Zhao Lin walking into the tavern, the ironclad guards guarding the doors and windows, Su Bottle Meiran was about to leave, and suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Hey, the one who wears the clothes of the superintendent, come here, our prince has something to ask you." ”

A group of soldiers came over and searched Su Bottle irrefutably. The waist knife and the short knife in his arms were taken away, and after the body search, Su Bottle was almost pushed into the tavern.

and Wang Zhaolin are anxious, and as soon as they met, they asked: "What cases are the criminal departments investigating now?" ”

Su Bottle told Zhao Lin what he knew, and finally said: "The minister came to Shou'an to purge the business thieves." ”

"A thief? What is the Lord's cause? ”

"A matter of the land."

Zhao Lin asked loudly: "This land of Shou'an belongs to the King of Qi, do you dare to check?" ”

Su Bei said: "The case of purging business thieves is approved by the emperor, as long as the emperor wants to investigate, the minister will dare to investigate, no matter who the other party is." ”

"When you are the emperor's uncle, do you dare to check? What a big breath! Zhao Lin glared and said, "What's your name!" ”

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Lin was not really angry, but tested Su Bottle. Of course, he was not interested in Su Bottle, but just wanted to see what Emperor Wanlong was doing through Su Bottle. And through the attitude of a low-grade official like Su Bottle, the emperor's determination to do things can be reflected.

Just now, when Zhao Lin just walked out of the carriage, the eunuch found that there were more people around, and the eunuch wanted to let the people watching the excitement kneel, but Zhao Lin didn't let him. Zhao Lin whispered to the eunuch that in the future, there should be less useless pomp and circumstance, especially near Kyoto, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Lin had already gone to live in the fiefdom, but this time he was summoned to Beijing by Emperor Wanlong, and Zhao Lin was uneasy. He didn't know why Emperor Wanlong summoned him to Beijing. Before leaving home, he even explained the aftermath to the princess.

Zhao Lin did not embarrass Su Bottle, seeing that Su Bottle was neither humble nor arrogant, he also praised two sentences. He also heard that Su Bottle was from Qinghuafang and had a marriage contract with Tang Mei, so he took a closer look at Su Bottle. Found the whitebait bag around Su Bottle's waist and asked where it came from? What credit has you made?

Su Bottle said that he solved the "Qi Yu Case", and Long Yan was happy, so he was rewarded. Zhao Lin frowned and said, solve a small case, can the emperor reward you with a silver fish bag? Su Bottle didn't know how to answer. Zhao Lin seemed to think of something, smiled, and let the bottle go.

Zhao Lin believed that the emperor was taking care of Tang Mei and rewarding her fiancé with a silver fish bag. And not because of Su Bottle's case. After all, there are many people who solve the case, but there are very few whitebait bags.

In fact, even Su Bei himself couldn't figure out why the emperor would give the silverfish bag. I even thought that the emperor might have drunk too much that day. Wearing this thing around the waist makes it extremely convenient to walk around. Even paperwork is waived by passing normal levels. Of course, if you come across an important level that is strictly guarded, you can't wear this thing.

A small episode, after leaving the tavern, Su Bottle took Mei Ran through the streets and alleys to a landlord's house. The head of the family is squatting in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion at this time.

Seeing that the official from the capital was coming, the family was very nervous. But they found that the official was very easy-going, and he didn't say anything important, but asked some questions. Then he took a very delicate knife officer with him. Some people also whispered that the swordman might be a eunuch. Mei Ran heard this, and she didn't know how to feel.

……

"Where did he go? Why haven't you come back at such a time? ”

Because of the trial marriage, the lord of Loulan was not in a good mood, and he was planning to wait for Su Bei to come back and discuss it.

Lord Mei didn't plan to let Su Bottle try to marry, she just wanted Su Bottle to cooperate with her and deceive the inspection of the Inner Servant Province.

And today the county lord made a decision to move out of the Guogong Mansion. Move everything that can be moved in Qinxiang Xiaozhu and move it to the governor's mansion. The plaque of the Governor's Mansion has also been removed and replaced with a four-character plaque of "Lord of Loulan County".

Because the Tang family was short of money, the lord of Meijun did not hold a grand ceremony when he moved to his new house, but just put two firecrackers in front of the mansion, and then went to the mansions to notify him, and it was over.

At the time of the lamp, Su Bottle finally came back, looking dusty, and I don't know how far I had traveled.

As soon as he jumped off the horse, he was reprimanded by his father Su Mantang. Speaking of today's big day, what are you still running around? What does it matter if the eight-grade petty official is inappropriate? This is the key from the second-grade county horse. Su Bottle persuaded the father to return to the backyard, and then one came to see the county lord.

Tang Mei sat on the couch with a serious face and said, "I have reported the name of the test girl, which is the eight maids in the family. ”

Zhen Ping'er, Wang Jin'er, Tang Wan, Tang Ting, Zhu Tao, Feng Die, Wu Xiaoxiao, Yang Liu'er, just eight handsome girls. In addition, there is also an ugly-looking old lady in the county lord's mansion, Wang Rong.

Of course, Wang Rong is not a test girl, otherwise it will be a terrifying thing to think about.

Although Wang Rong is the ugliest, she is the most powerful among the slaves, and now she doesn't have to work, just discipline these little maids at home.

Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er are already big girls in brocade, don't worry about it, Mama Wang only cares about the small ones. For example, today, Mama Wang grabbed Wu Xiaoxiao's ears and went to the back to clean up the toilet again; and cursed a few words because Yang Liu'er dropped three grains of rice while eating.

This old lady is a villain in the eyes of the maid and a good helper in the eyes of the county lord.

Due to moving away from Qinxiang Xiaozhu, the thin and small Tang Ting also came to the county lord's mansion and was still in charge of the gatehouse. At the same time, the county lord also made other adjustments, selected some people, and replaced several maids who were scattered in the warehouse.

In the future, only Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er will go down to check, and Tang Wan, Tang Ting, Zhu Tao, Feng Die, Wu Xiaoxiao, and Yang Liu'er will stay at home. It's fun for a bunch of little things to get together and chatter.

But such a big county lord's mansion is enough for these little maids to be busy, in addition to the daily work of washing, sweeping, and plastering, they also have to raise three horses. Two horses for the county lord and one horse for Su bottles. The appearance of a group of little maids walking towards the stable with a large haystack is quite funny.

“…… I warn you, don't think wrong about them. After only two months, it was reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was said that one of them was pregnant. Did you hear me clearly? ”

Su Bottle lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers and nodded perfunctorily.

The county lord raised his eyebrows: "In addition, I have to warn you to keep your distance from the one surnamed Mei." If there is anything between you, I will not spare you. ”

"Don't worry, she's a nun."

"Don't fool me, there are many sisters-in-law who don't abide by the rules and precepts. If she gives you wild seed outside, I will strangle the child. ”

Su Bottle raised his head sharply and looked at Tang Mei. At that time, Tang Mei looked out of the window coldly and did not look at Su Bottle. It seems that she is saying cruel words to scare people, but she can't be careless, she still has the right to mobilize the Tang family swordsman or secretly arrest to do this.

The so-called "secret capture" is a group of killer-like guys raised by the Tang family. They usually do some unsightly things for the masters of the Tang Mansion.

The leader of the assassination is Tang Mei's distant relative, Tang Jin. That is, a few days ago, when Ximen Zaipei came to ask for Han Fei, the "little gold" in Tang Ning's mouth.

"You tell me the truth, are you really okay with the guy surnamed Mei?"

"I, Su Baoyu, am a decent person! Can't you see that? ”
