Chapter 469: For the sake of the eldest lady's name
On the other side, when Wei Tingshi learned that the king of Hejian County invited him to the play, his face was overjoyed.
"Finally, the county king remembered me! It's really true that I've been sending people to the county king's mansion to ask for gifts these days. Now that we have contact, we will deepen our relationship in the future and create enough good impressions for him. When the time comes, as long as he says a few good words in front of the saint, I will be able to go back to Chang'an!"
So, he hurriedly ordered someone to dress himself up, put on a new clothes, and then combed his hair to be smooth and smooth, and went with the people sent by the king of Hejian County.
Pei Jingluo is not.
As soon as he heard the words of the people in the county king's mansion, his eyebrows tightened: "Hasn't the county king of Hejian never interacted with others very much? How could he invite me today? This matter is too strange!"
The king of Hejian County has been meeting him since he called Guangzhou. On this side, when the king of Hejian County moved into the palace of the county king, Pei Jingluo personally came to visit him, and the king of Hejian County came forward to receive him. The two of them just met and had a cup of tea, and he was sent out. Later, on festivals, he would also send people to send some gifts to the Hejian County Palace, and the County King's Mansion would also order the housekeeper to give back something of the same value. But everything is a butler, and the king of Hejian will never participate.
He knew that the king of Hejian County had such a temper, so he didn't care too much. On the contrary, I think it's good. The king of Hejian made it clear that he was here to recuperate, and he didn't even have much contact with Cui Pu, so he didn't plan to intervene in their officialdom struggle.
But this time, he gathered them and Wei Tingshi together for no reason, which means that there is a problem!
When the chief butler heard this, his face was a little ugly.
Pei Jingluo's envoy found out and immediately asked, "What the hell is going on?"
The chief housekeeper said: "A few days ago, my family San Lang came to tell me that the fifth master has been in contact with Wu Langjun of the Wei Assassin Mansion recently. ”
"Why didn't you tell me about this?"
After his subordinates learned about this, they kept ordering people to closely monitor the fifth master. found that he and Wei Golangjun didn't meet much often, and the two of them got together to drink at most, and then left. In the past two days, the old man has stayed in the house honestly and has not gone anywhere. The subordinates thought that maybe it was just Wei Wulangjun who wanted to pull the fifth master into the water, but the fifth master ignored him. ”
"But now, since even the King of Hejian County has been alarmed, it means that things are definitely not as simple as we thought!" Pei Jingluo said coldly, "Now, you tie up the fifth master for me!" "Yes!" The chief butler also knew that the current situation was very strange, so he didn't dare to delay more, so he hurriedly went down.
Soon, Master Pei Wu was mentioned to Pei Jingluo.
"Daddy, what are you doing? Why did you tie me up?"
"Less nonsense!" Pei Jing drank coldly, then flicked his sleeves, "Go, carry him, see the king of Hejian Go!"
"Yes!"
Compared with Wei Tingshi, Pei Jing's dress is much more low-key. He was dressed in a half-worn regular robe, and his gray hair was only loose, and he hurried out.
When he arrived at the king of Dehejian, he knelt down with his son: "The lower official is guilty, please punish the king of the county!"
"What are you talking about? This time the king invited you to go to the theater with Wei Tingshi. But why haven't you seen the play yet, but you just played a play for this king first?" The king of Hejian County smiled lightly, his eyes were clear and bright, as if he was not involved in personnel.
Wei Tingshi came earlier than him, and when he saw this, he felt a little proud in his heart.
This Pei Jing is a slight envoy, and he can put on the official shelf in front of himself. Look at now, when he comes to the king of Hejian, isn't he as soft as a dog?
This strengthened his heart to come together with the King of Hejian.
Looking coldly at Pei Jingluo, who was cautious for some reason, he said happily: "What are Pei Jingluo asking you to do here? The king of the county kindly invited us to watch the play, you just have to go to the banquet with peace of mind." But looking at your performance now, why do you seem to be trying to find fault with the county king?"
That's why you still think you're really attached to the king of the county, and you're still having a foolish time here.
Pei Jingluo gritted his teeth secretly. But the king of Hejian County clearly deliberately diverted the topic and did not give him room to continue. He was full of helplessness, so he could only shut up first.
Seeing that the two of them had arrived, the king of Hejian said, "Okay, let's go!"
Then he turned around and got into the sedan chair.
Wei Tingshi and Pei Jingluo's envoy also came in a sedan chair in accordance with his request. Now that the king of Hejian County has entered the sedan chair, they naturally follow up obediently. Then, their palanquins followed the king of Hejian to the outskirts of the city.
The more he walked, the more remote the scenery outside became, and Wei Tingshi also found that something was wrong - where did the stage come from in this place?
It's just that there is no news from the king of Hejian County in front of him, and he doesn't dare to ask, so he can only ask someone to follow.
The group walked for about an hour before the sedan chair of the king of Hejian County stopped at the door of a seemingly ordinary portal.
Pei Jingluo got off the sedan chair, and when he saw this situation, he already understood in his heart. Wei Tingshi's face was also slightly pale, but he still had some expectations in his heart after all. He hurriedly approached the King of Hejian County: "King County, what is the drama in this place?"
"Wouldn't you know if you went in and had a look?" The King of Hejian smiled slightly, and took the initiative to raise his feet and walk inside.
Pei Jingluo and Wei Tingshi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly raised their heels.
As a dilapidated gate slowly opened, the guards lined the ground with two people in sight.
Pei Jingluo had been prepared for a long time, so his face was as gloomy as ever. Wei Tingshi exclaimed: "You guys...... Why are you here?"
It was only now that the feeling of apprehension in his heart was finally confirmed, and his heart couldn't help but pound.
"The ...... of the King"
He hurriedly whispered, but the king of Hejian County seemed to have not heard it, bypassed the group of people under his feet, and continued to walk forward.
Pei Jingluo and Wei Tingshi didn't dare to delay, so they could only obediently continue to follow.
Passing through the pendulum gate, they heard a burst of cries in their ears. Without listening carefully, they already knew that the person who was crying and shouting was their family's Lang Jun!
Pei Jing was slightly unable to close his eyes, and he had nothing to say.
Wei Tingshi's face changed, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward, and saw Wei Wulangjun and Pei Jiulangjun being hung upside down on the beams of the house, both of them were flushed, begging for mercy in a low voice, not to mention how cheap their faces were.
But the eldest lady and brother sat cross-legged on the ground, smiling at the two people crying and begging for mercy, and there were many snacks and fruits in front of them. Eat and drink, live and be happy!
Wei Tingshi was immediately furious, pointed at the nose of the eldest lady and scolded: "Okay, you little cubs, you have bullied my son several times, and now you have directly tied him here?
The eldest lady hurriedly got up, but ignored them, but smiled sweetly at the king of Hejian County.
"Grandpa Junwang, why did you come, we are almost finished eating everything here!"
"It's okay, I'm not hungry yet. The King of Hejian smiled softly at her.
Wei Tingshi chuckled again in his heart!
What's going on?
"The ...... of the King"
"Unfilial sons and unfilial grandsons disregard the law and discipline, and dare to kidnap the children of the Cui prefect to vent their personal anger, it is the lower officials who have no way to teach, and the lower officials implore the county king to punish him!"
Master Pei Wu was also pushed to his knees.
Look at the scene in front of you, who tied up whom, and who was venting their anger on whom!
Wei Tingshi shouted in his heart. But think about the situation out there...... Well, maybe it was his son who kidnapped someone in the first place. But now, isn't it the other way around?
Hey, if they had worked together, they would still have a chance to win. But who knows what kind of medicine Pei Jingluo took the wrong medicine, and he actually took the initiative to ask for guilt as soon as he came up! He couldn't say anything with a stomach full of people, so he could only kneel down and ask for guilt.
The king of Hejian still smiled lightly: "Pei Jingluo, Wei Tingshi, do you think this scene is good? Two dignified and upright men, who are angry with people but dare not speak, can only tie up a few weak and helpless children to be angry, are these two people brave and fearless enough?"
Weak and helpless children?
Look at the few big ladies who are still eating and drinking, smiling heartlessly, not to mention Wei Tingshi, even Pei Jingluo's envoy looks like he was kissed by thunder.
The king of Hejian County covered his chest with his hands, and was heartbroken, "This king never knew that Xiao Langjun, who was born in a big family, was actually a bully of the weak!"
With that, he coughed heavily.
As a weak lady, the eldest lady suddenly changed her face as if she was in Sichuan Opera, and the smile on her little face disappeared immediately, replaced by a little face that wanted to cry.
"Grandpa Junwang~" I only heard her choke and scream, and tears flashed in her eyes.
If they didn't have that scene in their minds, they really wanted to take this poor little lady into their arms and hurt it.
Da Lang Jun and Er Lang Jun also followed suit, and they both put on a pitiful little appearance.
The acting skills of the three sisters and brothers are invincible, and with the blessing of a king of Hejian County, Pei Jingluo and Wei Tingshi both understand that they have fallen into the pit.
Fortunately, Pei Jingluo had already accepted his fate, so he planned to continue to plead guilty. Who knew that Wei Tingshi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said loudly: "It's indeed his fault that the little dog did this! It's just that since everything has happened, he has been in the same room with Lady Cui for so long, after all, Lady Cui's reputation is damaged." That's good, let's ask the king of the county to call the shots, invite the Cui Governor's Mansion here, and set the good things for the little dog and the big lady Cui!"
