The rebirth of the first daughter to chase after the husband

Chapter 37 The King of Zhenbei catches the thief
"Why is the king of Zhenbei free to come to such a remote place as our Gu mansion today? I'm afraid our humble house can't afford to entertain your big Buddha!" ​​Gu Shaoyu heard that Meng Xuan had come to the mansion, and immediately rushed over.

Meng Xuan was sitting upright at the moment, drinking tea, when he saw Gu Shaoyu walking in swaggeringly with his hands on his back, lowered his brows, and continued to drink tea.

Seeing that Meng Xuan ignored him, Gu Shaoyu walked up to him, snatched the teacup from his hand and put it on the table, and asked loudly, "Why are you here at the General's Mansion?"

"This king came to visit Master, and still need to report to the little general?" Meng Xuan shook his clothes and looked up at him suspiciously.

As a prince, he really doesn't need to report to himself, but not everyone can enter the General's Mansion. Just as he was about to reason with Meng Xuan, he saw the butler of the General's Mansion walk in.

The butler who walked in with his head down greeted Meng Xuan, "The general learned that the prince is coming, so he specially prepared some food and wine in the backyard, and asked the prince to move."

Seeing that Gu Rong did not come out, Meng Xuan might not be at the residence: "Isn't the general at the residence?"

"Go back to your lord, the general was called into the palace by Eunuch Gui on the way back, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while."

Today, civil servants and military generals don't have to go to court, so Gu Rong went to the barracks to watch the soldiers being trained, but on the way back, he was called into the palace by Eunuch Gui who was next to the emperor.

Gu Rong knew that Meng Xuan was looking for him, so he sent someone to notify the housekeeper, and entertained Meng Xuan well at the house.

Meng Xuan just came to Gu Rong to discuss the situation in the court, now that he is not at the mansion, this Gu Shaoyu treats him coldly, so he is naturally unwilling to wait longer: "Forget it, since the general is not here, the king will stop nagging. "

After speaking, he got up and left.

Seeing him go, Gu Shaoyu felt that he was quite sensible, knowing that he didn't like him, so he hid away.

When Meng Xuan came out of the general's mansion, he was almost knocked down by the thief who was fleeing in a hurry. The thief looked nervous, his face was flushed, his veins were bulging, and he was sweating profusely. Behind him was a fat man, leading a group of men to chase the thief. .

The thief stole the wrong person, was chased and beaten, and ran for his life.

Meng Xuan jumped and landed directly in front of the thief, knocking him flying into the wall with his palm.

The thief looked pained, clutching his chest, vomited blood, and looked at Meng Xuan with tears in his eyes.

The pitiful eyes seemed to be blaming Meng Xuan for what he meant, and also seemed to be asking Meng Xuan for help.

Meng Xuan didn't understand.

"Thank you, son, for your help! Otherwise, the thief will run away again!"

again?
Poor people must have something to hate. They don't know how to repent.

"Where are you going today?! Hit me! Hit me hard!"

The fat man was ordering someone to kill the thief, but Meng Xuan stopped him.

"stop."

The fat man looked back at Meng Xuan puzzledly, with anger in his eyes, as if he was telling Meng Xuan not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise he would be rewarded!

"Young master, although you helped us catch the thief, if you meddle in other people's business, be careful that the young master is rude to you!"

"Oh? The general wants to see how you will be rude to King Zhenbei?" Gu Shaoyu, who came over after hearing the sound, happened to hear the fat man's words, and couldn't help laughing.

Fatty saw that he was the major general of Gu's mansion, appointed by the current emperor himself, and he said that the man in front of him was the King of Zhenbei, so wouldn't he be beheaded if he spoke so rudely just now?

The fat man was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground, and kowtowed to admit his mistake: "The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai. I don't know if he is the King of Zhenbei, so please ask the King of Zhenbei to make amends! Let the little one be spared! There are old and young, and there are young ones. Small feed..."

Before the fat man finished speaking, Gu Shaoyu lost the patience to continue listening, and kicked him: "Before King Zhenbei has no intention of blaming you, hurry up and get out!"

"Okay, okay!! Get lost, little one!" The fat man looked at Gu Shaoyu gratefully, and fled away in a hurry with his people.

"This thief, what is the lord going to do with it?" The one who stole was money, but Gu Shaoyu felt that the crime was not worthy of death, and besides, the thief had suffered such serious injuries without making a sound. He was indeed a man of integrity.

"Leave it to the yamen." Meng Xuan could tell that the thief was dumb, so he might not be able to get any useful clues, let alone such a trivial matter, why should he, as a prince, take action?

"That's it!" Handing it over to the yamen is easy, at least he can survive, and he ordered the people around him: "Take him to the yamen, so that he can be interrogated!"

"Yes, Major General!" Two soldiers dragged the seriously injured thief to the Yamen.

"Miss, it's King Zhenbei!" Shu Yue caught a glimpse of Meng Xuan in the crowd, and excitedly pulled Wen Jingyao over who was looking at the bracelet.

Wen Jingyao was so frightened that she almost dropped the bracelet in her hand on the ground, she angrily shook off Shu Yue's hand, and accused her: "When did you become so ignorant?"

Saying that, she returned the bracelet to the peddler, and Shu Yue angrily turned and left.

Shu Yue was very helpless, reluctantly looked at Meng Xuan for a few more times, and quickly followed Wen Jingyao.

In the small courtyard of the Shen residence, Shen Lili was leaning on the big tree carefree with a fruit in one hand and a letter in the other.

Watching and watching, her crisp laughter came from time to time.

"Miss, what did Lord Hou write?"

Xiang Toon watched Shen Lili read the envelope on the tree for almost half a day, and laughed for almost a whole morning. She didn't know what Lu Chaoyan wrote to Shen Lili to make her so happy.

"It's nothing." Only then did Shen Lili realize that he seemed to have stayed in the tree for too long, and jumped off.

Seeing her coming down, Xiang Toon wanted to snatch the envelope from her hand, but as soon as she stood up, she saw that Shen Lili's hands were empty, and the envelope was nowhere to be found.

"Where's the letter?" Xiang Toon raised Shen Lili's arms curiously, but saw nothing.

Shen Lili looked at her arrogantly, and said: "Master Hou said, this is a secret! Don't tell anyone else!"

Knowing that Xiang Toon is very curious, Shen Lili deliberately teased her.

While wrestling with Xiang Toon, Shen Lili caught a glimpse of Cui Ying who was hiding in the corner with sharp eyes. She was staring at him like a hungry wolf in the abyss.

"Chun'er, I'm hungry, go make some delicious food and deliver it to my room."

"Slaves don't go!"

"I'll show you the letter when you go!"

"Slave, go here!"

Unable to resist the temptation, Xiang Toon ran to the kitchen without saying a word.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Lili lowered his face, and said to the people in the corner: "Come out."

Cui Ying walked out slowly, the man had already explained to herself what happened yesterday, and she came here this time to explain clearly to Shen Lili.

"Miss..." Cui Ying was afraid that Shen Lili would get angry, so she changed her previous image and talked to Shen Lili with a low profile.

"Since you're here, let's explain everything clearly." Shen Lili didn't want to embarrass her mother, so she hoped that Cui Ying could explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly by herself, so as not to embarrass everyone.
