Chapter 52 - The Man Who Sings with a White Face
"Imperial City Division?" Li Haoran looked at Meng Ran with an incredulous expression.
Meng Ran bowed slightly, and explained: "Have you forgotten before, as I told you before, when I was arrested, the general flag of the Imperial City Division appeared, and at that time he asked me if I wanted to live, but unfortunately I had time to say more in the future, and I was kidnapped by the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion." ”
Li Haoran thought for a while and said, "The people of the Imperial City Division want to save you, and they are knowing your identity and background, why is this?"
Meng Ran sighed, "I want to know too." ”
The two thought about it for a while, but they didn't come up with a reason.
Li Haoran was free and easy, and said: "What do you want to do, it's better to practice the knife well if you have that time, and if you encounter conspiracies and tricks in the future, you can break them with force, which is much stronger than you think of those twists and turns." ”
Meng Ran echoed: "The senior has a point, when we go out, you can guide me by the side when I practice the knife." ”
Li Haoran stretched and responded, "Okay, I'll take a look at your three-legged cat's kung fu then." ”
"Then it's settled. Meng Ran sat on the straw mat with a smile on his face.
......
I don't know how long it has been, but the sound of footsteps slowly reaching the innermost layer of the prison.
Meng Ran slowly sat up straight, looked at the passage steadily, and waited for the master of his footsteps to appear.
Li Haoran lay comfortably on the ground, squinting at Meng Ran's reaction.
The footsteps grew louder and louder, and in a few moments, a figure had passed through the passage and appeared in the light.
The person who came didn't go to Meng Ran first, but came to the outside of Li Haoran's cell, and said very politely: "I never thought that there was a martial arts master here, it's really disrespectful." What is the name of the seniors?"
Li Haoran didn't answer the question, but asked, "Who are you?"
The man gave a salute and said, "Ma Shun, the chief banner of the Imperial City Division, has seen his predecessors. ”
Li Haoran asked a plausible question, "Fifth grade?"
Ma Shun smiled slightly and praised: "The seniors are really like torches, and the juniors admire them." ”
Li Haoran scratched his hair full of dirt, and said angrily: "Don't pat yourself on the back, do what you should do." ”
Ma Shun was not angry, and walked to the door of Meng Ran's cell quite obediently, and after a burst of unlocking, he pushed the door in.
Ma Shun sat on the ground very ungracefully, and said, "Master Meng, we meet again." ”
Meng Ran stared at Ma Shun for a while, and then asked slowly: "Mr. Ma is coming, and he is not welcome." ”
Ma Shun's brows furrowed without a trace, his tone was no longer as gentle as before, and he said in a cold tone: "Do you know that you are about to be in trouble?"
Meng Ran nodded, looking as a matter of course, and replied, "I know, it's an anti-thief!"
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Ma Shun's brows furrowed.
"Of course I'm afraid, it's just that I can't run anywhere if I kill the sergeant of Zhichong Mansion on the street, even if my father-in-law is a household servant, even if I ......" Speaking of this, Meng Ran paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "So it's useless to say this." Are you right? ”
Meng Ran's snow-white teeth made the cell light up, and it was like a knife that cut a small hole in the barrier in Ma Shun's heart.
The corners of Ma Shun's eyes jumped a few times, and he said coldly: "Then is Meng Gongzi ready?"
"There's nothing to prepare for, it's just a stab in the head, and there's no pain. Meng Ran still looked like he didn't care.
Looking at Meng Ran, who was like hob meat, Ma Shun sighed slightly, and said softly: "As long as Meng Gongzi has the will to survive, Ma is willing to work hard for Gongzi." ”
Meng Ran smiled and asked, "Really? What even my father-in-law can't handle, Ma Zongqi can do?"
Ma Shun chuckled in his heart, but his face did not change, and he asked tentatively, "Has the elder of the son been here?"
Meng Ran replied with a smile, "Of course not." ”
Ma Shun's face was very ugly, so he changed the subject and asked, "Is Childe still used to living here?"
"I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, but it's also good, I know a lot of interesting things about last night, but unfortunately I can't see it with my own eyes." Meng Ran showed a look of regret.
Ma Shun's green turned greener, and he asked cautiously, "What happened last night?"
"Oh, doesn't Mr. Ma know?" Meng Ran asked rhetorically.
"I went to bed early last night, so I don't know much. Ma Shun casually lied.
Meng Ran nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you what I heard." I heard that the people of Ochong Prefecture deliberately released a prisoner, and then went to great lengths to surround and suppress him......;
Before Meng Ran's words were finished, Ma Shun, who was sitting on the ground, couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked, "How did Meng Gongzi know?"
Meng Ran showed a mysterious smile and said softly: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”
Ma Shun turned slightly to look at the cell next door, staring at Li Haoran tightly.
Li Haoran turned over, ignoring Ma Shun's burning gaze.
Ma Shun was shocked in his heart, quietly withdrew his eyes, stared at Meng Ran again, showed a qualified smile, and asked, "Where will Meng Gongzi go after he prepares?"
Meng Ran smiled and said, "My husband means to let me go to the Dao Sect to cultivate. ”
"Daozong..."Ma Shun muttered in disappointment, and then two extremely brilliant brilliance shot out of his eyes, and asked softly: "Does Gongzi have any thoughts of joining the Imperial City Division?" If he is willing to join, the minimum is the position of the chief banner, and within a few years, it will be a hundred households. ”
Meng Ran shook his head and smiled helplessly: "I went to the Dao Sect only to cultivate the Tao wholeheartedly, and I don't want to involve the mortal world." ”
Ma Shun smiled bitterly and said: "Since this is the case, I will not force Meng Gongzi, if you change your mind, please find me before leaving Jiaxing." ”
Meng Ran bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you Ma Zongqi for your kindness, Meng Ran is grateful." ”
Ma Shun sat on the ground for a while, hugged his fists at Meng Ran, and left.
After that, no jailer came in and locked the door, and Meng Ran's cell door was always wide open.
Li Haoran sat up slowly, looked at Meng Ran with a playful expression, and said softly: "Okay, you Meng boy, you will really take advantage of the situation, if you enter the officialdom, you will only be like a fish in water." ”
Meng Ran smiled awkwardly and said, "It's all the seniors who are so powerful that they scared this white-faced person away." ”
Li Haoran smiled and said, "Your sycophant skills are much worse." ”
The laughter of the old and the young resounded throughout the cell, and there was no need to say or ask extra words, everything was in laughter.
......
Ma Shun, who walked out of the cell, was in a bad mood, with an expression of eating dead flies, which made the cell boss more and more cautious, and sent Ma Shun to the door of the cell very respectfully.
There was a majestic figure standing on the street, which was Chu Changcun, who came out earlier.
Ma Shun took a few steps forward, stood side by side with Chu Changcun, and asked softly, "When you talked to that Meng Gongzi, did you find anything abnormal?"
Chu Changcun frowned lightly and said, "Except for that master, nothing else has been discovered." ”
"Really?" Ma Shun asked again.
Chu Changcun's expression was a little ugly, and he said in a low tone: "It's that Meng Ran is very arrogant, and he looks like he is not afraid of death. ”
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Ma Shunnian chattered, then smiled lightly, and said: "Forget it, this matter will end here, let Zhou Zhixian clean it up, let's stand far away, don't eat the fish, it will cause a muddy smell." ”
Chu Changcun smiled reluctantly and complimented: "What Master Ma said is reasonable. ”
Ma Shun glanced at Chu Changcun a few times, and then said, "You go and get busy with you, just contact more in the future." If there's something you can't solve, let me know and I might be able to help. ”
"Thank you, Lady Ma. Chu Changcun hugged his fists, and then strode away.
Ma Shun turned around and glanced at the prison, and then walked in the opposite direction of Chu Changcun.
Time passed in a breath, when the sun was about to rise to the middle of the sky, a group of three people appeared on the street where the prison was located, led by a boy in white clothes, beautiful and rich, holding a folding fan in his hand, a young beauty was painted on the fan surface, the fan bone of the folding fan was made of white jade, and the side bones were carved with exquisite moire.
There are two middle-aged servants standing beside the arrogant son, one of them is tall and strong with a big waist and a round waist, with a fierce face of Chinese characters, and a beard under his chin, this big man carries a slender knife around his waist, which is completely different from the saber of ordinary charlatans.
The other has thief eyebrows and rat eyes, dressed as a Taoist priest, and has two thin beards on his lips, giving people a treacherous and weird feeling.
At the door of the prison, the son-in-law in the center folded the fan and said softly: "Lao Lin, you wait for me here, just Chunxue will accompany me in." ”
The big man with the knife nodded slightly, and stood in place like a small mountain.
Brother Gongzi took the Taoist priest whose name was very elegant but his appearance was really not flattering into the prison, and the leader in front of him was the head of the prison who was hunched and sycophant.
At the innermost level of the prison, Meng Ran stared at the boy through the open prison door, his eyes were full of hatred, he slowly stood up, and walked out of the cell with a sinking face, the handcuffs and shackles on his body clanged.
The white-clothed boy smiled slightly, put on an approachable appearance, and said in a gentle tone: "Lao Zhang, quickly take off the things on Meng Gongzi's body, don't hurt Gongzi's body." ”
Zhang Prison Boss answered, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and stood between Meng Ran and the white-clothed boy, he picked up a bunch of keys from his waist, and was about to unlock Meng Ran.
Meng Ran took a step back slightly, dodged the key in Zhang Cell'er's hand, stared at the white-clothed man behind him, and said with contempt: "Do you still dare to come?"
The white-clothed boy used the folding fan in his hand to pull away the figure in front of him, looked straight at Meng Ran, and then showed a flattering smile, "If Meng Gongzi wants to kill me, he will naturally be able to capture him, but as the old saying goes, it is better to settle a grievance than to settle it." ”
Meng Ran didn't answer, just rushed over.
