Chapter 35: Fighting with the King
"This king didn't let you check. Xiao Rongzhan fiddled with his slender fingers.
Lan Chengjie is cunning and cunning, it is not difficult to guess what Xiao Rongzhan means, and he took advantage of the situation to make a servile appearance: "Lao Chen understands, in fact, the container is the size of a palm, and he has already found out." ”
"Oh," Xiao Rongzhan still had a cold face, and asked lightly, "Is there anyone hidden?"
"No, no, no......" Lan Chengjie's sergeant shook his head violently like a rattle.
"So, are you hiding something?" Rong Zhan raised his eyes and looked at Lan Chengjie's soldiers.
Lan Chengjie frowned, with his dominance in the court for so many years, he didn't have to be taboo. It's just that in recent years, this Duanjun King has risen to the limelight, and he has a great tendency to slaughter the heroes, and even the emperor's eldest son, Xiao Rongshen, has to concede three points, not to mention that he is a Jing Zhaoyin? Therefore, even if Xiao Rongzhan sarcastically mocks himself to his face as a thief who is taking the sheep by the hand, he can only listen obediently.
Lan Chengjie smiled and said: "Second master, there are already stored goods in the pawnshop, and it is not unusual to hide them." ”
"That's right, that's right," Xiao Rongzhan saw that the old fox was pretending to be stupid, and said with a sneer: "It's naturally not unusual for pawnshops to hide things, but it's very strange for your soldiers to hide things, my lord." ”
Lan Chengjie's face changed suddenly, but he didn't expect Xiao Rongzhan to be pressing step by step, and he didn't want to save face for himself at all. Lan Chengjie dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he could only turn around and scold sharply, saying, "You stole something, and you won't let it back for me! The dignified sergeant of the Great Chu State actually did such a deed." ”
A few soldiers took out a few strings of gems and beads from their sleeves in their arms, and there were snuff bottles and the like, and they were stuffed into Wang He and Ruan second-hand angrily.
Seeing that Lan Chengjie's face became more and more embarrassed, Yuan Xi beat a small drum in his heart, Xiao Rongzhan's move was indeed to help him keep the pawnshop's goods, but it made Lan Chengjie fall a little. Xiao Rongzhan is the king of the county, and Lan Chengjie naturally doesn't dare to retaliate against him, but it's hard to say it himself. Lan Chengjie's tricks against Li Er back then, even if he only used half a point, were enough for himself to drink a pot.
Yuan Xi quietly glanced at Ruan Er, and Ruan Er deliberately took out a wooden box from the cabinet, which contained a string of Dongzhu given by Boss Zhao when it opened.
For Li Lin's escape, Lan Chengjie probably hated himself in his heart. At this moment, there is only a desperate bet to let Lan Chengjie know that it is still useful for him to keep himself, even if he is tyrannical against himself in the future, it is better than being kicked out by him. Even if this string of eastern pearls is priceless, it has to be given up, and self-protection is important!
Yuan Xi knelt down in front of Lan Chengjie: "Godfather, it's all to blame for his daughter's confusion, Li Lin didn't see it when he sent it to his eyes, godfather rest assured, the guys in the family are running around the country, and my daughter will ask someone to inquire about Li Lin's whereabouts, if she gets the news, she will immediately twist it and send it to her godfather's house." ”
Lan Chengjie didn't want to listen to her explanation, Li Lin had already run away, and everything was pale and weak. The old eyes glanced at Ruan Er: "What is this?"
"This is a box of good silk that my daughter just received, thinking that my godmother likes it, and I want to ask my godfather to bring it back to my godmother. ”
Lan Chengjie stroked his beard, straightened his face and said: "You kid, Lord Duan is here today, you are like this, the old man's name has been ruined by you foolish children." I don't know, I think this official is corrupt and perverts the law. ”
Rong Zhan sneered in his heart for a while, there are all kinds of people in this world, and what he says is true or false
"Eh, Lord Lan is too worried, this king sees that your father and daughter are filial, but they are very harmonious. Xiao Rongzhan didn't say anything more, as for what was in the box, he also knew it. If we continue to dismantle the stage, I am afraid that it will be difficult for everyone to end.
As soon as Lan Chengjie stretched out his hand to take the box, he found that the box was not light, and he knew that there were good things inside, and his face softened. Yuan Xi sent Lan Chengjie to the street entrance before turning back, and the three guys in the store were busy cleaning and cleaning up the list.
Xiao Rongzhan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yuan Xi's relieved look on his face: "Miss Wei, I can't see it, you are quite good at acting, I don't think the frosty girls in the upper pavilion are as good as you." ”
Yuan Xi choked for a while, it was true that he was acting in front of Lan Chengjie, but it was too mean to compare a good person to a ninth-rate actor and make fun of it. Yuan Xi swept away the displeasure on his face in an instant, and replaced it with a smile: "What the prince said is true, but compared to some people who are outside and inside and move the sky and the sun, the people's daughter is still stupid." ”
Who is this sarcastic, Rong Zhan naturally understands it. It's just that this little girl is crazy? Even the prince dares to be sarcastic, and he says it unscrupulously in front of him. Rong Zhan's face did not change, and when these words came into his ears, he could only suffer a dumb loss, otherwise wouldn't he become angry and ruined? Rong Zhan nodded stiffly, which could be regarded as admitting.
"Ling'er, serve tea to the prince. Yuan Xi greeted casually, and he was busy with his abacus.
Xiao Rongzhan was stunned and took the tea that Ling Er held, feeling a little embarrassed. From the owner to the guy in this shop, except for the tea girl in front of him, no one cares about him at all. In the past 25 years, he has been coaxed and held by people all the time, the queen is favored, the emperor is biased, and he has never tasted a trace of embarrassment. But since I met Wei Yuanxi, everything has changed. It's good now, and I make up for all the embarrassments I've never eaten in my life.
Rong Zhan held the bowl and looked at the guys coming and going in the store, only the sound of crackling abacus colliding in his ears.
"Ling'er, give the prince a snack, I really don't have the eyesight to see it. Yuan Xi held the pen in one hand, fiddled with the abacus in the other, and commanded without raising his head.
Who is even more eyesighted? Ling'er glanced at Xiao Rongzhan, only to see that his face was full of iron.
I don't know how my own young lady can have such boldness, and she doesn't even pay attention to the prince. Ling'er let out an aggrieved "oh", and when she went to the back hall to take a look, she found that the snacks sent by the family had been eaten up by the soldiers of the two military patrol courtyards, not to mention the dim sum, not even decent fruits. Ling'er lifted the curtain, probed, and whispered, "Miss, the snacks are gone." ”
"Yo, that's a problem. Yuan Xi put down his pen and took out five taels of silver from his purse: "Go and buy some from the noodle shop opposite." ”
Although the noodle restaurant is in full swing, after all, it is still a big car and horse shop, where to buy dim sum for the prince?
Rong Zhan glanced out of the window angrily, got up to leave, and stopped with a smile: "Lord Wang, sit for a while, the sixth master sent Li Lin out of the city and will come back soon, don't you still wait to listen to the letter?" Rong Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, turned around and sat down again.
Rong Zhan sat with an unchanged face, and said in his heart that this girl was deliberately embarrassed by herself, if it weren't for his father who taught him to be steady as a prince since he was a child, he would have been annoyed. But if you don't give some color, this little girl is always on the verge of anger, which is really annoying.
Rong Zhan gritted his teeth secretly and smirked.
Ling Er bought dim sum from the noodle shop opposite, and Rong Zhan didn't want to move a piece. I don't like to eat those finely made noodles and fruits in the palace, let alone things that are not particular about the materials in ordinary teahouses? But Ling'er doesn't care about three seven twenty-one, seven plates and eight plates are full of tables. Anyway, it looks like it's a bit pompous.
I don't know how long the stalemate lasted, but the sixth master Rong Run ran into the store happily, and when he saw Yuan Xi, he smiled and said: "Haha, you don't know that the people guarding the city gate are all elm heads!" Turning his head to catch a glimpse of Xiao Rongzhan with a smirk on his face, he asked roughly, "The second brother is also there?"
In, in, if you don't come, you'll be embarrassed to death.
"Yo, Miss Wei, you're not fair, why is my second brother here, you put so many snacks, why did I have a plate when I came?" Rong Run had already sent Li Lin out of the city, and was overjoyed by his crime against the wind, not aware of the strange atmosphere in the store at all, only noticing the large and small plates of refreshments on the table.
"Thank you so much, Miss Wei. ”
Rong Zhan's word of thanks was a little more gritted teeth, but Yuan Xi smiled and listened to it as a compliment: "Lord Wang, you have won the award, but it is just a small door in our store, so I am afraid that the hospitality will not be good." If you neglect the prince, don't be surprised. ”
Rong Zhan was amused by Yuan Xi's unrelenting salute: "Miss Wei is polite when she says this, you treat this king honestly, and this king naturally understands in his heart." ”
Rong Run stood aside and listened confused: "Second brother, why are you two suddenly so polite?"
Rong Zhan snorted lightly and said, "It should be, come and not be rude!"
Rong Run didn't care, and pulled Yuan Xi to show off the battle situation he had just now: "You don't know, the guards at the city gate are only bold." I stuffed Li Lin under the seat, and they didn't even dare to search for it, so they let it go when they saw the token. ”
"Then after Li Lin leaves the city......" Yuan Xi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to ask.
Rong Zhan interjected coldly: "At this point, Miss Wei doesn't have to worry, Li Lin, as the last witness in Li Er's case, is naturally strictly protected by the king's people." ”
Yuan Xi saw that he didn't reveal the meaning of Li Lin's whereabouts, and he also knew that he couldn't ask again, although King Duan was cold, at least he was loyal to the monarch and loved the people, and he would never harm Li Lin like Lan Chengjie. If you hand it over to him, you can rest assured.
Rong Run rubbed his tired shoulders and said, "Second brother, you just think too much, if you change it, I will directly bring Li Lin to my father, and I don't believe that Lan Chengjie dares to deny it in front of his father." should raid his home, otherwise he will not be able to stop this unhealthy trend in the court. ”
Rong Run didn't pay attention to what he said, it was too late for Rong Zhan to stop him, Rong Zhan glanced at him lightly, signaling that he had said the wrong thing. Rong Run also suddenly realized that there was still Wei Yuanxi beside him, and he shouldn't reveal his determination to bring down Lan Chengjie in front of outsiders, but it would be difficult to take back what he said.
Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Don't worry, the two masters, the folk girl didn't hear anything." ”
Rong Zhan glanced at Rong Run, and said, "The sixth master just discussed the chess game with this king just now, even if the girl hears it, it doesn't matter." ”
"Yes, everything is like chess. However, the sixth master, the folk girl thinks that those deadly moves are used at critical moments, so as to show that the chess player is smart. Yuan Xi said casually.
Rong Zhan's face changed: "Miss Wei, what did you say?"
