Like ink at night.

In Xunyang City, some places are dark and the lights are out, but some places are brightly lit.

Especially the long street located in Xunyang Fang on the bank of the Xunyang River, there are many restaurants and song shops, and the red lanterns along the street are like long dragons.

If you look down from the sky, it seems to be a red ribbon inlaid with brilliant gems tied by immortals on the bank of the Xunyang River.

Xunyang Tower is one of the most dazzling pearls.

The area between Xunyangdu and Xunyang Tower is dark, with only sporadic lights.

On a street leading to Xunyang Tower, a certain luxury convoy was moving forward, guarded by a team of Xianbei guards on horseback.

The convoy had just said goodbye to Rong Zhen and Ouyang Rong and traveled a distance, and in the most central luxury carriage, Wei Shaoqi, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly asked:

"That kid is Ouyang Lianghan? The upright gentleman who was once called the pearl of the southeast by his aunt and grandmother is not afraid of death? ”

His face was calm, and the look he had just ignored was gone.

"That's right."

Wang Lengran frowned and said:

"But if you want to say that you are a righteous gentleman, you don't have to, this kid is cunning, not the kind of pedantic elm head, the so-called outspoken and daring to admonish, it can't be said to be a bully and a traitor. The third son knows a little bit about it, and he can know. ”

"My son doesn't care if he is a bully or not."

Wei Shaoqi closed his eyes and asked:

"Did this Ouyang Lianghan serve as the commander of Longcheng County?"

"Yes, this son was still in office last year, and then he was promoted by luck, and he also resigned as an official of the imperial history in the middle."

"Last year, the sixth brother and Mr. Qiu went to Dragon City, and he was also in Dragon City, right?"

Wang Lengran glanced at Wei Shaoqi's expression with some surprise, the carriage was driving on the street, and the surrounding lights fell into the car, hitting him in the face, a little uncertain.

"Yes." Wang Lengran nodded honestly.

"Does he have any intersection with the sixth brother?"

"I don't know...... However, the sixth prince should have seen him, I heard Boss Li mention it once before, this son seems to have been caught and played by the sixth prince, but then he was let go by the third young man of the Liu family, who was not successful enough to lose things......"

Wei Shaoqi listened quietly.

Wang Lengran sighed:

"It would be nice if the sixth prince slaughtered this son at that time, and now this son has hooked up with the Xunyang Wangfu and has become the dog-legged minions of the Xunyang King, which is very hateful, and has repeatedly damaged our good deeds."

He whispered, a little sadly:

"Third son, you also have to be careful with this son. Don't underestimate the enemy. ”

Wei Shaoqi chuckled:

"Wang Lengran, my father sent you, you have also been a thorn for so long, why can't you even play a little long history of him? Do you want to let Ben Gongzi deal with it? ”

Wang Lengran immediately bowed his head:

"It's useless to be humble, to live up to the expectations of the prince and the son, and it's hard to shirk the blame for the humiliation! I also hope that the prince and the prince will be punished heavily! ”

Obviously it was just a five-grade Hongzhou, but the brocade-robed young man who calmly accepted the history of the assassin of Yizhou and begged for mercy sneered and said:

"Okay, don't sell badly.

"Ben Gongzi came over this time, and he didn't clean up such a small role, and he hasn't been so idle."

Wang Lengran looked forward to it and said:

"Could it be...... It's Luo Jing's side, the two princes have already decided to do it? ”

As he spoke, his gaze was tilted towards the Xunyang Palace, which was repairing the water in the distance, and his palm made a cross-cutting gesture at his neck.

"It's not."

Wei Shaoqi shook his head, and said lightly:

"Everything is as usual in Xunyang Palace, don't startle the snake for the time being, what happened last time has already made them take precautions......"

"I understand the humble position, but what is the matter with the third son......

Wang Lengran was puzzled and muttered to himself, suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice:

"The prince had previously entrusted the lowly post to send a letter to General Qin...... Could it be that it is the matter on the front line of Hongzhou......"

Wei Shaoqi opened his eyes, looked at Wang Lengran, and did not speak.

But the slightly narrowed eyes made Wang coldly shudder, and he bowed his head deeply and didn't dare to ask again.

"Third brother!"

At this moment, the carriage next to the noble lady dressed up suddenly came out of a woman's gentle voice.

"What's wrong, Qi Niang?"

Wei Shaoqi immediately turned his head, revealing a kind smiling face and a gentle tone.

Wang Lengran, who was still trembling a second ago, was stunned.

The woman who didn't show up in the car asked with concern:

"The weather in Jiangzhou is cooler than Yangzhou, do you want to add some clothes, I prepared some for you when I was in Yangzhou."

Wei Shaoqi shook his head, and his tone was kind:

"No need Qi Niang, but if it's cold, go to the residence first to put your things and dress warmly, our residence, Wang Tingshi has already prepared."

was turned to a gentle inquiring look by Wei Shaoqi's smiling face, Wang Lengran nodded like a chicken pecking rice and led the way:

"Yes, yes, county lord, childe, please go with the lowly position, turn left in front."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wang, if it is a cold autumn night, you can say that I have prepared more men's clothes."

"It's not cold, it's not cold, the son is gentle, and the humble job is like a spring breeze."

"That's good."

There was a woman in the carriage smiling lightly.

Wei Shaoqi also smiled at each other, kept a smile, and squinted at the Xunyang night outside the car......

An hour later.

In Xunyang Building, the brightly lit hall has lost the hustle and bustle of the past, and there are only two tables of wine and food, and the others are empty tables.

These two tables are rich in wine and food to the point of luxury, all of which are rare ingredients transported from Yangzhou and Qiantang, as well as some anti-seasonal and anti-regional delicacies.

Last time, Xie Xue'e entertained Qin Jingqin's Xie Qin's family banquet, which is estimated to be not so rich.

There are two tables of food and drink, the first table is for men and the second table is for women.

Sitting around the first table, in addition to Wei Shaoqi, who was the main guest tonight, there were also Wang Lengran and his close subordinates, as well as some foreign officials who had taken refuge in Wei's family, and they also came to the banquet tonight.

The second table is the female dependents of the former's family, and the female dependents of the warblers and birds in the past are all honest and quiet at the moment, and I don't know if they were sternly admonished by the male hosts before coming to the banquet.

Wei Shaoqi was sitting at the top of the first table.

At the top of the second table, there is a vacancy.

"I'm sorry, Qi Niang may be late for a change of clothes, everyone can eat first if they are hungry."

Wei Shaoqi looked left and right, and said in an embarrassed tone.

Everyone laughed, but no one moved their chopsticks.

Wang turned his head coldly and looked out of the door from time to time.

Shao Lean, a green-clothed official who often followed Wang Lengran hurriedly walked into the building, holding a small wooden box in his arms, and there was a team of Xianbei guards next to her, close to him.

"It's been delivered, Childe, look, it's here."

Wang Lengran took the small wooden box and carefully handed it to Wei Shaoqi.

Wei Shaoqi picked open the wooden box with two fingers and glanced at it.

I saw a jade jade ring lying inside.

On the jade ring, there was a dried blood spot remaining, and for some reason, no one wiped it.

Wei Shaoqi asked:

"Is this the thing?"

"That's right, Third Prince."

Wang Lengran said solemnly:

"These days, our people are walking around in Hongzhou, fortunately with the face of the prince, the generals such as the general manager of Qin on the front line acquiesced, let us investigate, and found Zhu Yuheng's body at the beginning, this ring was found near his corpse, and it was hidden by the people guarding the corpse, fortunately, our people were smart enough to find it......"

Wei Shaoqi glanced at the dried blood stains on the jade ring and nodded:

"What a terrible death."

He turned his head and nodded with a bright smile:

"You deserve it. This Zhu Lingxu's father and son did not surrender to the enemy sooner or later, but at that juncture, doing such a beastly thing was in vain for my father's trust! ”

Wang sighed coldly, and stopped talking.

Wei Shaoqi suddenly pointed to the jade ring and asked everyone:

"However, you say, this person is so good, why did he lead the vanguard soldiers and horses to join the Hongzhou rebels?"

The crowd was silent.

"Could it be that you are guilty of cheap skin itching, lighting the light in the toilet, and you can't find death?"

Wei Shaoqi smiled again and said:

"If you collude with the thieves, it's just that, the funniest thing is that you were beheaded in public by the rebels of Cai Qin, who defected, which is really ridiculous."

The people around listened and listened, and found that there was something wrong with the tone of the third prince of the Wei Palace.

Wang Lengran asked cautiously:

"What does Childe mean, there's something strange in it? By the way, I remembered that this jade ring, I seem to have seen it from Zhu Lingxu before, and I don't know when it was handed over to Zhu Yuheng. ”

Wei Shaoqi lowered his eyes, stared coldly at the jade jade ring for a while, and chuckled.

He suddenly turned his head and asked:

"Why hasn't Qi Niang come yet?"

Wang Lengran immediately beckoned the green-clothed official next to him and asked him to go and check.

The green-clothed officer trotted out the door, but the figure did not disappear for a while, ran into the door again, returned to the table, and said with a strange face:

"Third prince, Lord Wang, the county lord's carriage is on the street not far from the building."

"Why don't you come?" Wang Lengran asked curiously.

"It seems that a group of beggars stopped the carriage and begged for food, and the county lord was distributing food and clothes, and she also let ...... Also let ......"

"What else?"

Wei Shaoqi nodded and asked, looking at his face as if he was not surprised.

"She asked the lower officials to come over and call the third son, can you let the back kitchen of Xunyang Building prepare more food and send it over to those poor people."

"Yes, of course, it's a good thing, why not?"

Wei Shaoqi shook his head with a smile, stood up, and sighed to everyone and explained:

"My cousin's character, who has always followed her biological mother, Princess Zhao of Liang Wangfu, is gentle and amiable, and has a good nature, and His Royal Highness King Liang also loves her very much.

"Hey, Qi Niang is really my Wei's pearl, in line with the family style of our good family, I really don't know, which stinky boy is lucky to marry my cousin in the future, I am really envious."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"What the third prince said is extremely true."

"I have heard for a long time that the lord of Anhui County is pure and good-natured, and treats the poor well, and there are poor people in the market in Luojing who burn incense for her, which is really a beautiful ......."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I can't help her."

Wei Shaoqi smiled and shook his head, and took Wang Lengran and the others out with a good mood and came to the street.

Immediately I saw a luxurious carriage surrounded by beggars, and a young lady wearing a purple veil was half-squatting on the carriage, and together with the maids, she distributed cakes and clothes to the beggars around the carriage.

At this moment, a gust of night wind blew the veil away, and everyone immediately saw the face of this gentle and amiable Wei girl.

I saw her with a round face, smiling and revealing dimples, with a gentle temperament, ordinary appearance, about twenty years old, although it is not stunning, but it is also very kind.

The beggars who were swallowing dates around knelt on the ground and shouted "Living Bodhisattva".

"Third brother."

Seeing Wei Shaoqi approaching with someone, Wei Anhui asked with concern:

"Can you get some more food from the restaurant, the pastries are almost finished."

"Let them prepare, I'll send it later, cousin, you go in first, it's cold outside, I'll wait here, help you distribute it, you have a daughter's house, it's not convenient here."

"Okay, third brother, remember to give them more hot rice, they have been hungry for a long time, and they can't suddenly eat greasy big fish and meat, they are easy to spoil their stomachs."

"Okay, Qi Niang, go in."

Some nagging and admonishing Wei women walked into Xunyang Building surrounded by maids.

Seeing her enter the building, Wei Shaoqi turned around.

While handing out food and clothing to the beggars, he sighed:

"It's really a blessing for you to meet my cousin, my cousin is embarrassed to mention it, but I'm a brother, I have to say it, these can't be given away in vain, you still have to repay her."

"Nobleman, what do you want to repay the Bodhisattva?"

A beggar asked cautiously.

Wei Shaoqi turned his head with a smile and greeted the cold-faced guards on the side:

"Gouge out all their eyes and throw them into the river, and those who picked up and touched the veil of Qi Niang cut off their heads and threw them into the river."

"Yes."

"By the way, stay away, don't make a noise to Qi Niang." He didn't forget to advise.

"Yes, Childe!"

The Xianbei guards pulled out all the beggars who were crying wolf, and their clothes and food fell to the ground.

One of the beggars struggled and ran away, and after three breaths, he was trampled under the feet of a Xianbei Qi practitioner who came out of the guards, and his breastbone clattered and shattered, and he vomited blood.

Wei Shaoqi walked over, pulled out a gem scimitar from the waist of the Xianbei Qi Practitioner, and cut off a head.

He casually threw it into the arms of Wang Lengran, who was sweating profusely next to him, and asked curiously:

"Wang Tingshi, I didn't break the law, did I?"

"I didn't ...... No, these unsightly things offended the nobles of the clan, and they deserve to die according to the law. ”

"That's good, you have to be impartial, don't open the back door."

"Third son, please rest assured ......"

Wei Shaoqi smiled, took a red satin inlaid gold silk handkerchief, wiped his hands, walked to Xunyang Tower, and said casually:

"The daughter of the Wei family, the noble girl who has not left the cabinet, is it the dog eyes of you people who are blessed to see, hey, this son has found out, you these things are all bright when you give a little sunshine."

Wei Shaoqi threw away the blood-stained handkerchief, his face was emotional, leaned less, and returned to the seat in the hall on the first floor.

He smiled and turned his head to his cousin, who had re-veiled him, and said in concern:

"Qi Niang, the food is getting cold, eat it quickly, I'll wait for you."

"Trouble the third brother has been waiting for a long time, what's wrong with the third brother's hand? Why is it bleeding? ”

"Oh, someone else's blood."

"Who's?"

"It must be the blood on this ring, I just touched it."

"I thought the third brother was injured, by the way, how could there be blood in this ring?"

"It's the owner of the ring, a pair of waste."

"The third brother is not allowed to scold."

"I'm sorry, I didn't hold back, but the owner of this ring is really stupid, hey, Qi Niang, you said that their father and son were stupid, why did the blood still splash on our family?"

"What is the third brother talking about...... What splashes on us......"

"Now we have to figure out something."

"What then?"

"What else can I do, wipe it."
