Chapter 102: A Boulder Falls from the Sky
Not long after, the family of the princess's mansion brought out an old man.
Leng Lanzhi hooked his lips and asked lightly, "Do you remember this person?" β
The old man's back was slightly bent, his hair was full of luxury, his right leg was lame, and he was on crutches at this time.
Seeing the old man, Shen Yizhi's expression was a little dazed.
Without waiting for Shen Yizhi to remember the identity of the person, the person knelt down with a puff: "I've seen the horse, my name is Cheng San'er, and I used to work as a long-term worker in the Zhuangzi of the Pingnan Hou Mansion!" β
He looked up at Shen Yizhi, his eyes full of hatred: "The concubine may not remember me, but the attendant named Abei in your mansion and the steward in your mansion Zhuangzi must still remember me." β
Shen Yizhi's face changed.
Zhuangzi!
Seeing that his face changed, Leng Lanzhi smiled with satisfaction: "You go on." β
So Cheng San'er told the story.
About seven years ago, when these long-term laborers were working in the Zhuangzi, the steward suddenly led a little brother in to pick people, saying that they had a good job to share with them.
At that time, four long-term workers in the Zhuangzi who had signed long-term deeds for 20 years were selected to do the so-called "good errand"βworking on the cliff of a canyon not far from Zhuangzi.
Cheng San'er is one of them.
These long-term workers arranged a boulder - if the ground shook too much, or if it touched a mechanism, the boulder could easily roll down.
and cleaned up all the man-made traces at the scene.
The long-term workers did not know the significance of these arrangements, and the attendant named Abei did not tell them.
However, these long-term workers don't care, they don't care about the owner's foresight, they only care about how much they can get paid for this "good errand".
After the deed was completed, they went to a dense forest under Abei's arrangement, prepared to eat some dry food to replenish their strength, and then returned to Zhuangzi after a short rest.
Bei was very considerate and prepared delicious meat buns and roast chicken for them.
Cheng San'er has seven children at home, and he is reluctant to eat those hot and fragrant buns, and even more reluctant to eat the oily, slippery and burnt roast chicken, so he wants to take it back to give the children a tooth sacrifice, so he wrapped up the things given by Abei and only ate the coarse grain cakes he brought.
In the middle of eating, he suddenly had a stomachache and went to solve the physiological problem.
When he returned to the eating place, he found that his three companions were lying on the ground, and the young man named Ah Bei was wiping the neck of one of his companions!
Cheng San'er was immediately frightened, and he turned around and ran away without thinking about it.
Abei heard the movement and chased after him.
In the end, Cheng San'er fell off the cliff, but luckily did not die, only one leg was broken.
After waking up, he didn't dare to go home, and wandered outside for several years, until he felt that the big man of the year should have forgotten himself, so he dared to drag his broken body back.
However, he was told by his family that the people from the Pingnan Hou Mansion had come to look for him several times, and their explanation for his disappearance was that there were thieves in Zhuangzi, and he was taken away by the thieves, his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown.
He also told his family and the people in the village that once their traces were discovered, they must notify the Pingnan Hou Mansion as soon as possible, so that the Hou Mansion could give a reward in time.
Fortunately, Cheng San'er was very vigilant and went home in the dark, otherwise he would be seen by the people in the village, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
It's just that he completely lost the opportunity to appear in front of people openly, and from that day on, he only dared to hide in the mountains near the village, and did not dare to let the people in the village discover him at all.
Later, his sons secretly inquired about the situation of the other three long-term workers, and learned that all three of them were buried in a grand manner in the name of "protecting the lord's house and bravely serving righteousness", and the family was also compensated with a large sum of money.
After Cheng San'er finished speaking, tears flowed down her eyes, and her eyes were full of hatred when she looked at Shen Yizhi: "I heard the attendant named Ah Bei say with my own ears, 'Don't blame me for being ruthless, if you want to blame it, you will know the secret that you shouldn't know, and it will become a stumbling block on the road of the young master'!"
The young master in Abei's mouth is only the prince of the Pingnan Hou Mansion at that time, and you are alone today! β
The crowd was in an uproar!
No one expected that the beautiful, talented and worried about the country and the people would be such a sanctimonious executioner.
It's just that some people are puzzled: "But, what does this matter have to do with the princess?" The colt is a scumbag, and it doesn't conflict with the princess who destroys other people's feelings. β
This sound was also very abrupt in the noisy crowd, Leng Lanzhi glanced in the direction where the sound came from, and quickly retracted his gaze, the crisp and pleasant sound was like the sound of a piano, and the crowd unconsciously quieted down and listened to her.
"Seven years ago, when I was out on a hike, I saw a wounded rabbit lying on the side of the road, and I relented for a while, so I stopped the chariot and got out of the car to check on the rabbit.
At that moment, a boulder rolled down from the cliff. β
She paused.
The crowd fell silent with her voice, and their hearts rose high.
Everyone seemed to see the scene - a graceful and kind girl who wanted to rescue a wounded rabbit on the side of the road.
Unexpectedly, a boulder fell from the sky, casting a huge haze on the girl's life.
The crowd was eager to hear the results.
The result was obvious - the girl was fine, and now she was standing here with dignity.
Leng Lanzhi didn't sell it: "At the critical moment, the horse that was just the prince of the Pingnan Houfu jumped out of the path on the side and rescued me from under the boulder. β
The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar again.
It turns out that the colt is waiting here!
Who can withstand this well-designed hero to save beauty?
At least, Leng Lanzhi didn't hold it at that time.
She said slowly: "Hongu already has a good impression of the horse, and with the blessing of life-saving grace, this good feeling is even more profound than words. β
Shen Yi's eyes were dark: "First of all, I have never calculated anything about the princess!" β
"Secondly, this matter has nothing to do with my repeated rejection of the princess, but the princess insists on marrying me and asks the Holy Majesty to grant her marriage!"
Leng Lanzhi's eyes sneered: "Is it really irrelevant?" β
Shen Yizhi still wanted to quibble, but Leng Lanzhi clapped his hands: "Come on, let the horse die." β
After the words fell, the door of the princess's mansion opened again, and two more family members led one person out.
Seeing that person, the crowd of onlookers looked dazed, and couldn't help but put their heads together in twos and threes to discuss.
Shen Yizhi's face completely changed.
Obviously, although he has no impression of Cheng San'er, he has an impression of the people who came out later.
Leng Lanzhi's smile was faint.
It's good to have an impression.
Can't he pick everything clean and leave the stigma to others, right?
