Chapter 407 The Boy Who Escaped from the Capital

The journey was peaceful, and their family arrived in the capital amidst the gazes of the people along the way and everyone's discussions.

At noon that day, the carriage arrived at the gate of the city.

Brother Zhuang and sister Xiao are trapped in the car every day. At first they thought it was novel and fun, but now, sister Xiao only knows how to curl up in Li Er's arms and sleep late.Brother Bian sat beside Su Ran, with his small body leaning against his mother, and his small face was full of lifelessness.

As the big brother, Brother Zhuang still chose to sit on the side alone in an upright manner.

When their carriage gradually approached the city gate, looking at the simple and majestic capital city wall not far ahead, Brother Zhuang suddenly straightened his back and his eyes became bright.

"Mother, what does the capital look like? Have you been here before?" The child asked Su Ran with a strange expression.

Su Ran shook her head. "Mother has lived in the village all her life, and the furthest place she has traveled is the provincial capital. The capital is so far away, how could Mother come here? It is your father, who has been here before."

"Really?" When Sister Xiao heard this, she immediately became interested, and quickly shook Li Er, "Father, tell me quickly, where is the most fun place in the capital?"

There was a wry smile on the corner of Li Er's mouth. "I came to the capital more than ten years ago. At that time, I was only a few years older than your elder brother, and I was brought by the elders of the family. When we arrived in the capital, we would visit everywhere all day long. A chance to go out and play?"

"Ah? So dad, you don't know either!" Sister Xiao immediately pouted her little mouth high.

Li Er immediately felt distressed again.He quickly said: "But it's okay, aren't we here again now? Later, Dad will find someone to inquire about it, and then we will go play with the whole family!"

Sister Xiao laughed again. "Sister Zao! Let's take her with me!" she said crisply.

"Okay." How can a father beat his daughter's gorgeous smile like a flower?Facing Li Er's smiling face, the corners of Li Er's mouth involuntarily curved upwards, almost behind his ears!

While the father and daughter were talking, Su Ran kept staring at the simple and magnificent city wall ahead.As their chariots and horses got closer and closer, the mottled city wall became more and more clear before her eyes. Even the specific appearance of the gates on the city wall and the attire of the guards at the gates all jumped into her eyes, and slowly Slowly carved into the depths of her heart.

The capital city is the capital of a country, and of course people entering and leaving the city gate have to go through layers of checks, so now there are already several long queues at the gate of the city.

However, because of the special status of Su Ran's team, of course there is no need to line up.The old eunuch Deng Ning directed the coachman to drive the carriage directly to the middle gate, and took out the imperial decree with him to show the general guarding the gate.As soon as the general saw the bright yellow imperial decree, he immediately knelt down and made a big salute, then turned around and shouted: "Quickly open the middle gate, and let the queen of Zhenxi enter the city!"

As soon as the words fell, there was another bang at the gate of the city, and the people lining up outside started pointing at their carriages and whispering again.Su Ran was sitting in the car, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly again—it's great, now the people in the capital know that they are back.It's really the emperor's grace!If they do anything wrong to the emperor in the future, they will definitely be scolded and revenged by people all over the world.

After the general's order was issued, several soldiers responded immediately.Immediately, the closed middle door creaked open.

With the opening of the heavy middle door, Mrs. Denning withdrew the imperial decree: "Let's go, we're entering the city!"

"Yes!"

The coachman immediately whipped his whip and urged the horse to walk towards the middle gate.

However, at this moment, someone shouted in front of him——

"Let it go, let it go!"

Immediately afterwards, bursts of screams came from inside the city wall, as well as the sound of hurried hoofbeats and crisp whipping sounds. Accompanied by the continuous yells of "quickly, give way", their coachman also tightened his grip violently. The reins slammed the car to a halt.

Su Ran and the others were sitting steadily in the car, when the car suddenly braked suddenly, and the car body shook heavily, causing the five members of their family who were sitting in the car to stagger forward.

Thanks to Li Er's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he quickly grabbed his wife and children back with a big hand.

However, when they were dizzy in the car, a carriage had already galloped out of the city gate, rolled past them like a hurricane, and disappeared after a while.

The car was running so fast that the wind kicked up all the sand that was blown into their carriage!
"Who is this? He's so annoying!" Brother Bian spat out the sand in his mouth, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

Fortunately, after the car left, calm was restored inside and outside the city gate.The people who hid aside brushed the dust off their bodies, picked up their things and continued to line up.The soldiers defending the city just cleaned up the place, and then stood firmly back to their original positions.

The old eunuch Denning has sent a young eunuch over. "Little son, Grandpa Deng Ning asked the little one to ask, are you all right? Didn't you get scared just now?"

"We're fine." Li Er replied in a deep voice.

"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine." The little eunuch quickly breathed a sigh of relief, "In this case, let's go on, we're going to Beijing now!"

Seeing the crowd waiting so quickly to return to normal, Su Ran began to feel that their family was not a normal person here.

Brother Zhuang looked outside and found that those people didn't even have a trace of panic on their faces, he was very puzzled.

"Mother, aren't they afraid of that car running so fast just now?" He asked Su Ran.

Su Ran looked helpless.She doesn't know either!
It was the coachman in front who answered their doubts. "Those who have never been to the capital, you don't know. The one who drove out just now is the well-known little bully King Rong in the capital! This little bully is now eating, drinking, whoring and gambling in the capital, bullying men and women , committing all sorts of crimes. Every time he offends someone he can’t afford, he packs up his luggage and runs out as soon as he is about to be punished. He hides outside for ten days and a half months, and when the turmoil passes, he will come back and continue Much ado about nothing. In a situation like today, almost every one or two months will come here once or twice, and the common people are used to it, so of course everyone is not afraid."

"So that's how it is!" The children all understood, but Brother Bian still blushed with anger, "This man is really bad! Why didn't his parents punish him for what he did wrong? Parents will be punished for doing something wrong!"

"Hey, you don't know about this. King Rong is the nephew of the Holy Majesty. When King Rong was young, the old King Rong and his wife passed away. The Majesty and the Queen Mother inevitably loved him a little more, so they developed a He has such a lawless temperament. Whenever he causes trouble and sees that he can't deal with it, he will run into the palace and cry in front of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother loves him, so she urges the Holy One to help him. The Holy Majesty values ​​filial piety the most, and he can only obey the Queen Mother. It's up to you. Since the emperor has nothing to do with him, who dares to punish him?" The coachman sighed.

"Who is the queen mother? Who is the emperor? Why can't they do anything about him? Every time my mother-in-law stops my mother from punishing us, she still punishes us! My mother said that if you are wrong, you are wrong. Get used to it!" Sister Xiao also joined the discussion with a serious face.

"Uh, this..." The coachman was choked and speechless.

At this time, I heard another scolding from behind. "The one in front, drive hard, who told you to talk nonsense?"

"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong!" The coachman hurriedly responded, obediently shut up and didn't say any more.

But sister Xiao and her brothers and sisters are still confused.Sister Xiao upheld the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end, she turned to Li Er and asked, "Father, why?"

"Because his parents are gone." Li Er replied.

"Oh, so no one can punish him!" The children nodded quickly, and they all understood.

It turns out that this matter can be explained so simply?The coachman outside suddenly wanted to vomit blood.

However, after this incident, Brother Zhuang and his brothers and sisters all firmly remembered this King Rong, and had already labeled him a bad guy in their hearts.So much so that the next time we saw each other again, the brothers and sisters joined hands and taught him a harsh lesson.

As for Su Ran, her thoughts unknowingly flew to what happened just now.

The speeding carriage, and the laughing young man in the carriage, everything was so reckless, yet so... It made her feel sore.For some reason, she suddenly had the urge to cry.

"What's the matter with you?" Su Ran suddenly woke up with a light pat on the shoulder.

"I'm fine." She shook her head hurriedly.

The man took a deep look at her, and immediately turned his eyes away. "Here we are."

Su Ran quickly raised her head and found that their carriage had stopped at the gate of a large house.There is a gold inlaid plaque hanging on the gate of the house, and there are four vigorous and powerful characters written on it - Zhenxi Wangfu.
