Chapter 33: Another Temptation
"This damn dog official, deceived the upper and lower to the head of this king. Rong Run was furious and ordered Yuan Xi to tell what had happened, but when Yuan Xi finished speaking, he was silent again.
This matter is not big or small, but it is not small. Once Lan Chengjie knew Li Lin's identity, it would be inconvenient for him to intervene, otherwise he would be oppressive with royal power. This kind of thing is not good to say, but it is to sit down and speak without authority. Rong Run also understood in his heart that at this moment, Lan Chengjie couldn't wait to find him by himself, as long as he told Lan Chengjie to do something that used his power, he would never want to get rid of Lan Chengjie again in this life.
"Lord ......"
"You might as well wait here, and wait for this king to go to the Duanjun Mansion to discuss. Xiao Rongrun beckoned, and the maids in the palace of Baojun served a plate of candied fruit and snacks, and Rong Run said with a smile: "Miss Wei, you might as well try the dim sum in this palace." ”
Without Yuanxi responding, Xiao Rongrun took the big sword and saber from Qin Shun's hand and rushed out of the door.
Rong Run was anxious, if what Yuanxi said was true, it would be tantamount to letting himself catch Lan Chengjie's big handle. In this way, whether Lan Chengjie is on his side or submits to the emperor's eldest son, it is beneficial and harmless.
With a quick whip, when he rushed to the Duanjun Palace, Rong Run's cheeks were already red from the cold.
"Second brother, second brother!" Rong Run threw the horsewhip to the subordinates of Duanwang's mansion, and strode into Rong Zhan's study.
"What are you shouting?" Rong Zhan slowly turned out from behind the agarwood Bogu frame, still holding half of the unfinished book in his hand: "When can I change your fault?"
Rong Run ignored Rong Zhan's complaints, sat down in his seat, and put the jade pendant returned by Yuan Xi on the table.
Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows and put the scroll down: "Why did you get it back?"
Rong Runqi snorted and scolded: "Lan Chengjie, this bastard thing!"
Rong Zhan smiled: "What's the matter, unfortunately I said it? This Lan Chengjie really sent Miss Wei to you?"
"What a mess," Rong Run picked up Rong Zhan's cup and took a sip of tea: "It was sent by Miss Wei herself, if she hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that Lan Chengjie had done such a bastard thing, it's crazy!"
"What do you mean by that?" Rong Zhan twisted a lotus seed from the plate and ate it.
"Second brother, can you lend me the token of Duanwangfu?" Rong Run also ate lotus seeds, and said bitterly: "It's bitter, why don't you eat yellow lotus?"
Approaching the New Year, the capital garrison has added a few more sentry posts, and the inventory of going out of the city and entering the city is more careful. The Duanjun King and the Emperor's eldest son were ordered to purchase a product for the Queen Mother's birthday, so the token of the Duanwang Mansion could be unimpeded.
"What do you want to do out of the city?" Rong Zhan flashed his inspiration and waved his hand: "No, no, is it that Miss Wei wants to go out of the city?"
"It's not Miss Wei, it's that we want to send someone out of the city. Second brother, have you ever heard of a big case of a tomb robber that Lan Chengjie solved many years ago? The prisoner is named Li Er. ”
Rong Zhan looked away casually: "Li Er, that dead tomb robber, what's wrong with him?"
Li Er's case is clear to him, but he can't overturn the case because he has no evidence. Besides, Lan Chengjie hugged the thigh of the emperor's eldest son, and dealing with Lan Chengjie is tantamount to declaring war on the emperor's eldest son, but now is not the time. Therefore, after he took Li Er's file from the Criminal Department, he kept it at the bottom of the box and never mentioned it again.
"Second brother, you don't believe it, Li Er was unjustly killed! He is not a tomb robber at all, he was framed. Rong Run was filled with righteous indignation, but when he saw Rong Zhan's light gaze, he was stunned again.
"This is all what Miss Wei told you?" Rong Zhan smiled disapprovingly: "There is no evidence, you believe what she said?"
Having said that, Rong Zhan wondered again in his heart. Wei Yuanxi is just a businessman's daughter, what evidence can he have? A businessman's daughter dares to openly report a high-ranking member of the imperial court without evidence, is there any other reason besides the courage of the newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers?
"I believe, I believe. Second brother, Miss Wei said that the dealers in the antique shop knew about it, but they were all afraid of Lan Chengjie and didn't dare to say it. Moreover, Miss Wei has a key witness in her hand, and if you meet him, you will believe it. ”
Witness?!Rong Zhan's eyebrows frowned, but he covered it up in an instant: "What witness?"
"Li Er's only son - Li Lin. Rong Run was a little proud.
Wasn't Li Er's only son caught by the government and sentenced to death? Could it be that Lan Chengjie ...... Rong Zhan suddenly felt that he needed to talk to this Wei girl, who was quite deep in the city.
Rong Zhan casually tapped the token on his waist: "Sixth brother, the token can be given, but you have to explain it, how did Miss Wei get involved with Li Lin? Also, why does Miss Wei ignore her godfather and have to save Li Lin? As long as you say it clearly, don't say a token, let me personally send Li Lin out of the city." ”
"Good second brother, I knew that you were righteous and would definitely help, let's talk on the way. Rong Run jumped up from the chair and grabbed Rong Zhan's wrist and pulled him out.
Last night, there was a freezing rain, and the trees were full of ice crystals, wrapped in flowers and leaves that had not yet fallen, which was very beautiful.
King Baojun is dim sum Yuan Xi didn't move a bite, he was upset and couldn't eat anything. I wanted to stand outside and look at the scenery, but the maids and servants in the county king's mansion were very idle, so they grabbed Yuanxi and asked about the west.
"What are you doing? more and more presumptuous!"
I don't know how long I was interrogated, but I heard a scolding from King Baojun, and the maids ran away one after another. Behind Xiao Rongrun was Xiao Rongzhan, the king of Duanjun with a straight face.
He really lived up to his title and kept holding the shelf. Won-hee muttered to himself in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Bow to the courtesy: "The folk girl participates in the king of Duanjun, the king of Baojun." ”
Xiao Rongzhan followed Yuan Xi's gaze and glanced at the crystal clear tree hanging. sneered: "Miss Wei is really good, and she is still in the mood to see the scenery." ”
Rong Run quietly pulled Rong Zhan: "Second brother, she is already panicking, don't scare her anymore." ”
Rong Zhan turned his back on his hand, looked Yuan Xi up and down, and said to Rong Run: "Sixth brother, you avoid it first, I have a few words to ask Miss Wei." ”
Rong Run wanted to stay, but Rong Zhan was very determined and had to leave.
Rong Zhan stepped on a thin layer of snow and walked slowly to Yuan Xi's side, so close that he could even smell Yuan Xi's neckline with a burst of sweet fragrance. Rong Zhan said in a low voice: "Miss Wei, I really can't see through you, what do you want to do?"
"Folk Girl...... The folk girl didn't understand what the prince meant. ”
"Pretending to be stupid, doing what you do, pretending to know nothing?" Rong Zhan stared at Yuan Xi with cold eyes: "Who asked you to come? Who taught you those words?"
This is Xiao Rongzhan, with a cold face and a cold heart, and cold words.
Yuan Xi bowed: "What the people want to say by themselves, do you still need to be taught by others?"
"Oh, do you want to say it yourself, is Li Lin your relative, or is that Li Lin your sweetheart?" Rong Zhan's words were so cold that there was almost no trace of emotion.
"Lord, you ......"
Yuan Xi clenched his fists tightly, if he wasn't the king of Duanjun, he would definitely not be able to help but swing it up. But he is a prince, and no matter how big his anger is, he can only suppress it by himself.
"Lord Wang, have you heard that 'those who do good are not profitable', I only helped him to do a good deed, not to reciprocate, and not to have a close relationship with him to save him. ”
Rong Zhan still appreciated the words of the benevolent person Buyunli in his heart, and there was a little smile on the corner of his lips for a moment, but he immediately covered it up with a faint 'oh' word. It can be seen that she is telling the truth.
"Actually, on the way here, the sixth brother has already told the king. Xiao Rongzhan turned his back on his hand, his eyes revealing a hint of judgment.
Did you say it?!Yuan Xi couldn't help but burn a breath of anger in his heart, and he was anxious to frown up, he was still interrogating himself endlessly when he knew it?
Yuan Xi was angry and didn't care about his face, and replied coldly: "The people's daughter understands that a good official must first test the case before he can draw a conclusion!"
Xiao Rongzhan was stunned, his body was a little uncomfortable, he had grown so big, no one had ever dared to contradict him in front of him like this. With a wave of his sleeves, he grabbed Yuan Xi with his backhand and pressed it on the cold stone pillar of the pavilion in an instant. Yuan Xi was startled, only to realize that he was trapped in the small area of his arm, and a pair of slender beautiful eyes were staring at him fiercely.
There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the air.
"Miss Wei, this king is happy to help you, but you have to believe in you. Rong Zhan shook his hand and let go of Yuan Xi.
"Second brother!" Rong Run hurriedly ran over: "What's the matter?"
Rong Zhan held on his belt with one hand, untied the ink-colored and gold-painted Duanwangfu token with the other, and threw it to Rong Run: "Put on your car and send people out of the city overnight." ”
After saying that, he threw his sleeves away without looking back.
Yuan Xi was still clinging to the stone pillar, her body was cold, Rong Run supported her, and asked gently, "Miss Wei, are you okay?"
Won-hee shook his head.
Rong Run accepted the token and asked, "What did my second brother tell you just now?"
Yuan Xi still couldn't suppress his flustered breathing, and reluctantly smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I suspect the people's daughter." ”
"Don't worry, my second brother has always been a little suspicious. He doesn't believe what others say, but he doesn't believe it until he sees and hears it. When we go back, we sent Li Lin away, and I will explain it to her again. Rong Run patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder indifferently: "Okay, let's go to Xiyin Hall quickly." ”
Boarding the car of King Baojun, Yuan Xi also repeatedly recalled Xiao Rongzhan's words. Temptation, temptation, endless temptation! Yuan Xi raised his head and looked at Xiao Rongrun, and couldn't help but sigh, there is no wonder in the world, and two completely opposite people were born in the belly of a mother. One is suspicious and cold, and the other is hot.
Rong Run saw that Yuan Xi looked preoccupied, so he smiled and said, "Miss Wei, you won't still be angry with my second brother, right?"
