Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 254 Affecting (2)

Mr. Hong rubbed his reddened eyes, ordered the boy to make a pot of bitter strong tea, swallowed it with a frown, and asked for a basin of cold water to wash his face. , Then I felt more energetic, changed my clothes, walked out of the Yamen with my hands behind my back, and went to the Muji Soup Noodle Restaurant in Maishao Lane outside the Gongyuan.

In the corner of Muji noodle shop, Hu San huddled on a chair, with one foot on the ground and one foot on the chair, facing a plate of fried peanuts, a bowl of hot mutton noodles, and a pot of rice wine on the table. Self-drinking.

Mr. Hong went to sit opposite Hu San and ordered a bowl of mutton noodle soup. He looked at Hu San and said with a smile, "San Ye enjoys it." With a peanut in his half-open mouth, Hu San looked blankly at him. Mr. Hong seemed to realize who the person opposite him was after watching for a long time. He hurriedly slid down from the chair with a charming smile on his face, bowed and clasped his hands together: "So it's Lord Hong! Master Hong, you are so good! How come you come here early in the morning? From Qiao’s family, get another plate of peanuts! Master Hong is here!” Mr. Hong looked at San Hu helplessly and said, “Don’t be polite to me, third master. , none of them are outsiders, from Qiao’s family, cut a plate of mutton, and you can see how it goes with it, and I’ll have a drink with the third master.”

"How can you afford it? Lord Hong, you are a nobleman!" Hu San bowed his back, with a humble expression on his face, and then shrank back to the chair. Qiao Si's brought white-cut mutton and a few side dishes, and heated the pot again. The wine brought a glass and brought it over. Mr. Hong poured the wine for Hu San first, raised the glass to Hu San and said, "Please, Mr. San."

"Master Hong, please." Hu San raised his glass and drank it down. The small eyes hidden in his face looked at Mr. Hong vigilantly, and he said, "It's really small to have this glass of wine from Lord Hong." Sansheng is lucky." Mr. Hong drank half a glass of wine, put down the glass and said, "You don't have to be so polite with me, the third master, I also have a few acquaintances with the sixth master, and the sixth master is leading the mission of the princess of Jinning County. Working with Prince Shou in the yamen, you are not an outsider." Hu San's eyes flickered, but his face was blank: "Our sixth master is leading the mission of the princess of Jinning County? To tell you the truth, I really didn't listen to our sixth master. Grandpa mentioned that Grandpa Hong is an expert, and his speech is also profound, and the young ones really don't understand."

Mr. Hong looked at Hu San angrily, almost speechless. He picked up the glass and drank the wine in one gulp. Looking at Hu San, he said directly, "It's about Jinning County King!" Mr. Hong dragged his voice, There is something in the obvious words: "You must know that the sixth master is not in the capital. I just got a letter last night that the second bedroom and twelve mothers of the king's mansion in Dongyang County were locked up by the old lady." Mr. Hong said while staring straight at him. Looking at Hu San, although the bewilderment on Hu San's face has faded a bit, it still looks like he has nothing to do with it.Mr. Hong poured him another glass of wine, and continued: "Our Dong Weng is in charge of the affairs of the Prince's Mansion of Jinning County. On this matter, our Dong Weng and I, as well as the third master, will advance and retreat with the Prince's Mansion of Jinning County. I came to look for the third master, firstly, to tell him about the letter I got last night, and secondly, to ask him if there is any useful letter here."

"Master Hong understands every sentence of what he said, but he just doesn't understand what Master Hong means. It would be great if our sixth master was here. Our sixth master will definitely understand." Hu San's eyes flickered, his face was blank No change, it took a while before he laughed, Mr. Hong stared straight at Hu San, put down his cup gently and said: "The third master is so stubborn, if the sixth master comes back!" Mr. Hong sneered a few times: "The third master is not afraid The sixth master blames it? How important this matter is, does the third master not understand?" Hu San squinted his eyes, took a sip of wine from his glass and said: "You are a mediocre person, and Hong Ye doesn't understand anything about the small things that Master Hong said. As for us Sixth Master, it is a small blessing to be beaten or scolded." Mr. Hong let out a muffled 'hum', and without waiting for the face to come, he stood up and walked away.

Hu San was still half-squatting and half-sitting on the chair, slowly sipping wine with his mind full of thoughts and tasteless.Sun Qing had already been away for a day and a half. Ninggan Mansion was not far from the capital, but it was not close either. He was abducted by someone, and his life and death were unknown. If something happened to the princess, what would he and Sun Liu do?Hu San took a sip of his wine, and the wine added to his sorrow.

Sun Liu made his fortune after following the concubine, and this matter is the one he knows the most. In the past ten years, Sun Liu has followed the concubine, and he has followed Sun Liu. The princess is gone, what can I and Sun Liu do?Hu San suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, unconscionable ramming!Whenever there is something to do, he only thinks about himself, the princess has been waiting for Sun Liu and himself to be reborn with kindness in the past ten years, but now he only thinks that the princess is gone, and his good life is gone!What a heartless ram!

The surname Hong and his master Guo Tui are the people of Lord Shou, Lord Wu, Lord Wu and the concubine... Hu San's eyes are narrowed into one place. He has spent most of his life rolling around in the dirtiest corner of the market. There are too many dirty things, not to mention husband and wife, but father, son, mother and daughter. There are too many people who turn their faces and stab knives for money and survival. The princess has so much dowry, but she doesn't even have a capable family. If the princess is gone , this is so cheap!Hu San sighed softly, he had to think about this matter, if the concubine is gone, it will not do any serious harm to the fifth master, who knows all of them, who is thinking about letting the concubine come back alive, and who is thinking about it? It would be best if the princess died and came back?Heart is under the kyte!

"Why did you make Mr. Hong go away so angry? What happened? You are a stable person, why did you offend the people in the Shang Yamen face to face?" Shopkeeper Song of the soup noodle shop wiped his hands with his apron, and sat down opposite Hu San while talking. Hu San quickly regained his composure, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I can't offend him."

"If you ask me, Mr. Hong is not a bad person. Every time he comes back to eat noodles, he has to add a few bowls of water noodles. He is also polite. Even Guo Tuiguan is also good. He is very polite when talking to people. He often comes to eat noodles." Shopkeeper Song commented , Hu San squinted his small eyes and looked at him and asked, "Do you know who the owner of your shop is?"

"I know! Look at what you said!" Shopkeeper Song laughed, "I'm from the mansion!" Hu San narrowed his eyes and said, "No, you are an old man in the mansion, old Song, we know each other It's been ten years, right?"

"It's not ten years old! The first time I saw you, you and Sun Liu were taken to the big kitchen for dinner. I poke the stove and serve you noodles." Shopkeeper Song looked nostalgic, Hu The wrinkles on San's face gently stretched a lot: "Yes, Lao Song, tell me, will the princess treat us well?"

"It goes without saying!"

"You say, if, I'm just making an analogy, if there is too much wine today, you just talk about it, and we two brothers chat, just as an analogy, you say, if there is something wrong with the princess, I mean, in case If she is not well, what do you think we should do?"

"Hey!" Shopkeeper Song let out a cry of surprise, spat on the ground several times and said, "I think you've been drinking too much cat urine, and you've lost your head! Can you say this unlucky thing? Let me tell you, princess She will live a long life, we are all turned into ashes, the princess is still fine!"

"I'm just talking, just to make an analogy, this woman's childbirth is a hell, who doesn't have three disasters and six diseases..."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Shopkeeper Song kept spitting on the ground, patted the table angrily, and said, "Hu San! Even if you're a drunkard, you can't say such inhuman things even if you're drunk! Let me tell you, you If you keep your mouth dirty like this, I'll knock all your teeth out with a rolling pin!"

"Okay, okay! I was wrong!" Hu San hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Old Song, I just... Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, I dare not say it anymore, Lao Song, you don't understand, you don't understand, I am Three, in my heart, I hope that the princess will live a long life in peace and prosperity! Alas, it’s okay, I understand! As a human being, you can’t lose your conscience, you have to have a conscience! People say that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time should be used When you are a soldier, you can't shrink back, this is your duty, even if you are a man, you have to show your conscience, that's all, I'm leaving, a bunch of things, see you!" Hu San said, He got off the chair, waved his hands at Shopkeeper Song, and walked out the door with hands behind his back, leaving Shopkeeper Song dazed in a daze.

Mr. Hong returned to the yamen with a sullen tone. Officer Guo Tui had already arrived. He frowned when he saw him and said, "Where have you been? What time is this? Do you still have time to wander around?" Mr. Hong glanced and followed Guo Tuiguan, whose eyes were bloodshot like his own, knew that he was losing his temper due to agitation, so he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Guo Tuiguan.

"Hu San?" Guo Tui reacted in a daze: "Sun Liu's men? Hmm! You're still thoughtful, how is it? Is there any useful letter from him?"

"I don't know!" Mr. Hong frowned: "I don't know where the princess found these people, a Sun Liu is sticky and sticky, and this Hu San is very slippery and difficult to deal with. I didn't even say anything sticky!"

"Huh?" Guo Tuiguan frowned in confusion: "We are also looking for the princess, what does he mean?" Mr. Hong glanced at Guo Tuiguan, and before he could speak, Guo Tuiguan had already reacted: "He Can't you trust us?" Mr. Hong saw that he didn't answer, and Guo Tui raised his brows, but he was not too surprised: "This is also common sense. The situation in the capital is unclear, and Hu San is not a fool. In this way, you go find him. Mr. Guan Guan, let him play around with it."

"Okay." Mr. Hong agreed, stood up and walked out.

In the other villa outside the capital city, Li Tian was wrapped in a cloak, holding a hand stove, and walked along the bluestone path. Qingzhi and Yinhua followed closely behind. A dozen steps behind them, a The middle-aged servant and four or five deaf-mute women followed at a distance.

This manor was carefully selected, Li Tian slightly looked up at the blue sky outside the wall and a few big trees higher than the wall, and beyond the wall, there was nothing but the blue sky and those trees, Not to mention that she is a person who knows nothing about the terrain after the capital, even if someone else is familiar with the terrain, with the blue sky and a few trees, there is no way to judge where she is.

Li Tian sighed secretly, walked around a rockery, bowed her head and walked back. She was imprisoned in this manor, how could she find a chance to move this prison?Li Tian glanced at the middle-aged servant who was far behind him. He said his surname was Huang Mingming, and he treated her with extreme humility. He said he would serve her for the rest of his life. Li Tian frowned and then loosened. After confirming who was the person who imprisoned her here, Li Tian felt extremely angry. He never considered her thoughts, maybe he never thought that she would have her own thoughts at all!Li Tian took a deep breath and let it out slowly, calming down the deep and thick anger in her heart, she had to calm herself down until the day she got out, anger would make her make irreparable stupid mistakes.

"I'm sick." Back in the upper room, Huang Ming stepped back, Li Tian looked around at the deaf-mute girl standing in the corner of the room and said in a low voice, Qing Zhi and Yin Hua were startled, Qing Zhi hurriedly Concealing her surprise, she subconsciously glanced at the little girl standing in the room and said in a low voice: "Girl?" The cup in Yin Hua's hand shook, and she simply let the cup fall to the ground, signaling for the little girl to come and clean it up.

"What's the girl's plan? It's better for Yinhua and I to get sick together." Qing Zhi said in a low voice, Li Tian smiled wryly and shook his head: "If you are sick, I'm afraid you will have to move out of this room immediately, life and death are uncertain "Qingzhi was silent, Yinhua moved and said: "What's wrong with the girl? It's already winter, if you catch cold, you may become seriously ill, that's not good, it's better to pretend to be sick."

"You can't hide from the doctor by pretending to be sick." Li Tian said softly: "We are always around people, and it is not easy to catch cold. Qing Zhi will order some mustard-flavored dishes tomorrow." Qing Zhi and Yin Hua looked at each other, Li Tian Tian was not allowed to touch mustard since he was a child. After eating it, not only did his whole body turn red and itchy, but he also felt like asthma. Qing Zhi looked at Li Tian worriedly and said, "Miss, why do you want to pretend to be sick? Want to ask the doctor to deliver a letter? I'm afraid it's not easy... ..."

"No, you don't need to ask more questions, um, Yinhua should go, go to the kitchen, it's better to sneak back some mustard sauce or mustard oil." Li Tian thought for a while and ordered, Yinhua hurriedly agreed, Qing Zhi didn't ask any more questions, sometimes the girls did things that they couldn't understand even if they were explained, so they just did it, and besides, although it was scary for a girl to touch mustard, as long as she stayed away from mustard, it would be fine soon.

Official Guo Tui was struggling with the errands of the Prince's Mansion in Jinning County, and there was another big trouble in the Yamen of the capital. Someone tied up an actor named Qiu Tangdi from the family theater troupe of the Dingguo Mansion, and turned him over to the government. Yamen, accuse him of being a fugitive slave and abducting his family.The complaint was delivered to Officer Guo Tui, who glanced at it, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. The complaint was interesting. The complainant, Li Zheng from Shilipu outside the city, said that he was not angry with Qiu Tangdi who not only fled Dingguo privately The government even abducted a girl from the Dingguo government. She was so indecent that she tied her up and sent her to the government office for punishment. When did Lizheng have such a sense of justice?
"Look at this!" Guo Tui handed the certificate to Mr. Hong and said, "Where did this come from? Even if they are caught, they should be sent to Dingguo's mansion. What is sending them to us? I think it's a big deal." My heart is to embarrass the government."

"What Dong Weng said is very true." Mr. Hong scanned the certificate at a glance, handed it to Guo Tuiguan and said, "If it's embarrassing, we don't need to worry about it. Don't forget, Dong Weng, you have the most important errand on your body. The Lord has ordered you to concentrate on this task, and as for this case, I have to ask Hou Fuyin to do it for you." Guo Tui raised his brows and smiled a few times: "That's true! I'll send it off immediately. Go in the past." As he spoke, he stood up, took the certificate and went to find Houfu Yin.

As expected, Hou Fuyin accepted the certificate very simply, and sent Guo Tuiguan away. Hou Fuyin opened the certificate and read it three or four times, and sighed heavily. There must be many mysteries behind this certificate. I still don't know what major event will lead to, how should this case be tried?It seems that I have to go and talk to Mr. Guan.
