my wishful wolf

Chapter 88
"You stupid man!" A palm the size of a cattail fan slapped on the back of the head. The man who hit him staggered, stood still, touched his head but didn't speak.

The one sitting next to him was the boss who appeared in the Weiwan Tower the day before yesterday, and he was frowning at the moment, looking at the third child who was beaten, and said: "Third brother, I have already said it before, don't talk about the big man and the young man." Why did you tell that man all about Lang? Your temper..."

Everyone around stared at the third child, and the third child said aggrievedly: "Brother, I... I don't know what happened, the young master invited me to drink, I saw that he was very generous, and he respected us very much,...and He doesn't seem like a bad person, but I do remember what my elder brother said, and I made up my mind that if he asked about Dalang, I would just say nothing....Unexpectedly, after drinking for a while, he talked about things If you don't mention Da Lang and Xiao Lang at all, I will lose my vigilance... somehow, he gradually talked too much, he... he is really good, and the question obviously has nothing to do with Da Lang and Xiao Lang, but... but I just It's like being possessed by an evil spirit... I said everything without knowing it."

Lao Liu was the youngest, and smiled when he saw this: "Third brother, he is a man, why do you say that he is seduced by a fox spirit."

The second son snorted and said, "I'm afraid that after three glasses of wine, I don't know who he is!"

All the brothers laughed, but the eldest brother did not laugh.Seeing this, the third child said: "Brother, I was wrong, I really shouldn't talk too much, but I don't think that young man looks like a bad person, so asking this should be unintentional...it's nothing, let alone where we are far away from here." Thousands of miles away..."

The second child asked: "Brother, what are you worried about?" The eldest brother saw a little worry, and said: "You don't know... This young man is obviously very powerful, he is willing to condescend to approach us like this, he must have a plan... Moreover, Da Lang...he..." He frowned and remained silent.

The third child was surprised and asked, "Brother, how is Da Lang?"

The leader shook his head, with a weird expression on his face, and said slowly after a long while: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, even if the third brother doesn't say anything, if he really has the heart, he can still find out our background...is it a blessing or not? Misfortune, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, let’s have a look.”

That night.Jing An returned to the mansion early.After changing clothes inside, I went to greet the old lady first.After coming out, he went to look for Xie Dongyan.After finding out that Dong Yan was in the study, Jing An also went straight to the study.

Entering inside, I saw Dong Yan sitting behind the table, holding a book in his hand and reading. He had changed into casual clothes, but he was still wearing a green robe, and he was also tied with a kerchief of the same color in a bun. Under the light, the awe-inspiring gentleman's demeanor is just like what the emperor said, "the most beautiful jade of the country".

Jing An stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and said, "Brother! I'm back."

Dong Yan raised his eyes to look at Jing An, then put down the book in his hand, and said: "You still know how to come back. Hmph."

Hearing that this was wrong, Jing An said with a smile: "Brother asked me to come back earlier, I naturally dare not disobey." Dong Yan said: "Then if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't come back again?" Jing An said : "Where, I planned to come back tonight."

Dong Yan glanced at him, and said: "Don't talk about me, you are still the Nine City Commander handpicked by the Holy Spirit today, don't sleep in flowers and willows all day long, and end up talking about someone else, you don't want this face, thank you The honor and favor of the family for generations, you are not allowed to act like this."

Jing An said: "Brother, I understand, I just don't go there in the future."

Seeing that he answered so easily, Dong Yan knew that he hadn't listened to it, so he said, "If you listened to it, I would thank God and not say anything. Even my mother wouldn't have to go to the ancestral hall to cry!"

Seeing that he was still angry, Jing An laughed and said: "Brother, is it possible that you are still angry with me for that matter during the day?"

Dong Yan sighed, and said: "Recently, your people are making a lot of noise. Dali Temple kept this matter from me, for fear that I would be embarrassing... But don't you know how many people are secretly staring at you? You You just came back from that remote place, and you were entrusted with a heavy responsibility. It can be seen that the trust of the Holy One is also a compliment to Xie's family. However, in this way, how many people will be suppressed by you and cannot get out, so you will hold grudges in your heart. Do you know? "

Jing An heard the words, Su Rong said: "I know that elder brother has worked so hard, it's for my own good that he deliberately came to arrest people."

Hearing what he said, a sneer appeared on Dong Yan's calm face, and he said: "You also understand that if you know, you can restrain your subordinates in the future, and don't make any more outrageous things. At that time, I can't do it for you either.—Do you understand how many people here are waiting to see you and me?"

Jing An agreed and said: "Brother don't have to do it because of me, I will be careful in the future."

Seeing that he was serious, Dong Yan said again: "Then Zhao Ming, I have carefully interrogated him. He had an occasional dispute with the old man, and when he was angry for a while, he accidentally shot and wounded someone to death. However, the murderer dies. This is the law, although I sympathize, but I cannot accommodate, do you understand?"

Jing An didn't change his face, and said: "I understand, it's only natural for elder brother to kill him."

Dong Yan said: "Telling you about this in private is considered a violation of the rules, and it's not an example. It's good that you know... I'm just saying this to remind you that Zhao Ming's family..."

Jing An smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will order someone to take care of Zhao Ming's family so that they won't be displaced."

Only then did Dong Yan nod his head, and said: "Although I am loyal to the emperor and act according to the law, there are still human feelings besides the king's law... The Zhao family only has Zhao Ming as an only son, and my father is dying. ...The ancients said, 'I am old and the old is old'..." He hesitated to speak, and looked at Jing'an.

Jing An understood, said: "Don't worry, brother, I understand." He sighed and said, "Countless people always say that brother is ruthless, but who knows that brother is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, chivalrous and gentle."

Dong Yan heard the half-joking words, and shouted again: "Stop talking nonsense! It's getting late, don't mess around here, hurry back and rest!"

Jing An promised, but he was about to leave, Dong Yan glanced at him coldly, and said: "What's wrong?"

Jing An stopped, turned around and saluted, and said: "Brother...I have some things to do recently, I'm afraid I need to leave Beijing for a while..."

Dong Yan was startled, and said: "But the Holy Majesty ordered you to leave Beijing?"

Jing An said: "That's not the case, it's just that I have some personal matters."

Dong Yan frowned and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Jing An lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "It's something from the past that I have to take care of myself."

Dong Yan asked: "Where are you going?"

Jing An said: "North."

Dong Yan asked, "How long?"

Jing An said: "One month sooner, later...uncertain."

Dong Yan thought for a while, and said: "You are the commander of Jiucheng, and the safety of Jiucheng is in your hands. Once you go, what will happen to the imperial city? Besides, from your tone, this line of work seems to be very difficult. Could it be that His Majesty Is that what you promise?"

Jing An said: "Brother, I went to the palace in the afternoon and asked for the imperial order."

Dong Yan was furious when he heard the words, looked sharply at Jing An for a moment, and said: "Well, since you have already invited the emperor's order, you came to tell me something again, is this to kill first and then play?"

Jing An said: "Brother, I really don't have a chance to say... When we met in the daytime, Big Brother was busy..."

Dong Yan said angrily: "Is it mine?"

Jing An lowered his head and said, "That's not what I meant."

Dong Yan stared at him for a long time, finally bit his lip, and said quietly: "I understand, you step back."

Jing An's heart trembled, and he said, "Brother!"

Dong Yan raised his voice and said, "Back off!"

Jing An's eyes flickered, and he stood still. The book in Dong Yan's hand was thrown down, and then fell to the ground. Putting it back on the table, I said: "I really didn't mean to hide it from my elder brother. Besides, if I have something important to leave Beijing, my elder brother will understand and won't stop me. Why should I cut it first and then play it? It's just a mistake. Time is running out, so I went to see the emperor first... Eldest brother wants to blame me, he will punish me when I come back... I am leaving now, elder brother must take care of himself, official documents and the like, and don't hurt yourself by staying up late. In addition, Be careful of those traitors in the court..."

Dong Yan stared at Jing An, and said after a while: "I don't need your hypocrisy! Get out!"

Jing An sighed, finally turned around and went out, after going out, he turned around again and gently closed the door for Dong Yan.

Not to mention that Jing'an is preparing for the itinerary in the mansion.Everyone must be wondering, where did Yue'e go, and where did the group of merchants from the north come from, what was their background, and who was the Dalang they were talking about?

This story started when Yue'e and Xiao Lang left Ziyun County.

It turned out that Yue'e and Xiaolang left Ziyun County in a hurry that day, they didn't stop all the way, but only headed further north.If we walked for six or seven days, the further north we went, the colder the weather would be. I don't know how long we had been walking. Both horses were frozen to death, so we couldn't walk for long in a day.

Yue'e and Xiaolang arrived in a strange town, fortunately the people here had a similar accent to Ziyun County, so they sold the horse, and there happened to be a group of merchants passing by, who were going to do business in Pingchuan Prefecture in the north. Yue'e and Xiaolang went over and got acquainted with each other in a few words. The leader saw that Yue'e and Xiaolang were not evil people, so he took some money from them and allowed them to follow.

There are quite a lot of people in the caravan, because they often go north, they are well-equipped, and the horses they use are also particularly strong, especially cold-resistant.Yue'e and Xiaolang huddled together in the carriage of their convoy, sheltered from the biting cold wind, and there was a small charcoal stove inside, which was already many times better than riding on horseback.

So after another seven or eight days, they finally arrived at a place. Yue'e and Xiaolang got out of the car and bid farewell to the leader. They saw that although the place was ice and snowy, it was extremely prosperous. Most of the people who came and went wore fur coats and hats, were tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.When Yue'e and Xiaolang were in the convoy, they also bought two sets of clothes from someone else, but although they were dressed similarly, their body and appearance were incompatible with the local people.

Following the guidance of the team leader, the two arrived at the local yamen and led the way.The master book of the county yamen saw that there was no mistake, looked at the two of them, recorded it in the book, and asked slowly: "You two are newcomers, do you have any relatives to join you?" Yao Liang said respectfully: "Mr. , never have." The master clerk asked again: "Is that going to stay in a hotel?" Yao Liang nodded and said: "Mr. Hui, that's all we have to do for the time being."

Seeing that Yao Liang had a sweet mouth, he was born well, he was still young, and Yue'e was tender, he thought for a while and said, "I think you two are well-behaved children. I have a relative I know, because I moved After leaving the big house, there are a few small houses left, which are vacant and useless, and are waiting for sale..."

Yao Liang was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Sir, this is good, but I don't know how much money and silver will be used?" The master book said: "He has three big houses with side rooms and rough furniture. The asking price is 60 taels, I think you two are pitiful, so I don’t want more of you, I will discuss with him again, and I will give you a cheaper price... But I need to ask, you will come to find out the news tomorrow.” Yao Liang The two of Tong Yue'e heard this, and knew that the houses here were cheaper than those in Ziyun County, so they thanked each other a thousand times and went out happily.The clerk behind him came out again and asked, "You two are newcomers, don't wander around, just stay at the Yuelai Inn on the old street. It's a time-honored brand, and you won't cheat anyone."

Yao Liang and Yue'e knew that they had met a good man, so they both bowed and thanked them again. The master saw the two frizzy ones, but they were very sincere, and felt happy, so he waved his hands and went back.

Yao Liang and Yue'e came to this icy and snowy place for the first time. They were surprised and joyful at the same time. Lip, fearing that someone would see through their identities, the two supported them, stumbled, and found the Yuelai Inn. Sure enough, the innkeeper was a loyal man. When he saw his two cold noses and swollen faces, he shrank into a ball when he entered the door. Quickly ask Xiao Er to serve hot tea.

Yue'e and Yao Liang drank a few cups of tea tremblingly before they calmed down. A few girls next to them were idle and came to see him. It turns out that the locals here are tall and strong. He is tall, but not short, but compared to them, he still looks thin and handsome, so these little girls all come to watch the fun.

Only Yue'e put a little yellow powder on her face to cover up her appearance, so her original national beauty was not revealed very much, but after looking at her for a long time, she could still see that she had a handsome face, but Yue'e kept her head down most of the time, So it's nothing special, so these juniors only looked at Yao Liang, asking questions, and Yao Liang only answered obediently.

After a while, the shopkeeper asked Xiao Er to bring some dishes, but it was a casserole that was still bubbling. What was stewed in it was nothing more than vegetable leaves and large pieces of meat. Without moving, Yao Liang and Yue'e's eyes were straightened.

Seeing Yao Liang blankly picking it up with chopsticks, the little girls didn't know how to pick it up, and then dropped it. Everyone burst into laughter, and everyone in the room came to watch the fun, so Yue'e had no choice but to keep her head down. head on.

The waiter laughed for a while, Yao Liang's face was tender, his face was flushed, Yue'e also lowered her head, the shopkeeper saw this, and said, "Poor thing, come so far, don't frighten them, go get the knife. "Yao Liang is even more inexplicable.The waiter took a small knife, took the piece of meat out of the basin, put it on the plate in front of Yao Liang, cut it lightly with the knife very quickly, and asked him to eat it.

Yao Liang tentatively took a piece and ate it. He found it delicious, so he nodded and said, "It's delicious." The boys laughed.

Yao Liangcai said to Yue'e: "Brother, come and try it, it's really delicious." Yue'e was also hungry, so she ate a piece in a hurry, and it was really delicious, so she also praised it. Although he is not used to his polite manners, he is also happy to see them praising the delicious local food.

Originally, Yao Liang and Yue'e thought that the owner and the shopkeeper of the inn they met were lucky enough to meet good people, but they didn't expect that the local folk customs were like this, and they were famously simple, although everyone seemed to be brave. Tough, but kind hearted.

They rested in the inn that night, and went to the yamen the next day to look for the master bookkeeper. Sure enough, the master bookkeeper was already waiting and the deal was settled. The house only cost them 40 taels. It's not easy for two children to leave their hometown."

Then take the two to see the house.When they arrived at the place, the owner of the house was already waiting, opened the door and led them in. When the two of them saw it, they saw that the house was grand and spacious, which was even more different than the one in Ziyun County.But the size is about the same.Yue'e and Yao Liang were extremely excited, they ran inside hand in hand, looked back and forth, and saw that the room was spacious and bright, although there were few tables, chairs and benches, it was complete and there was nothing wrong with it, so they came out to talk to the room The master signed the contract, and the master book witnessed it from the side, and Yue'e took the silver and handed it to the owner.

After all the formalities were completed, the owner said: "There were still some tables, chairs, benches, and some small household items. I thought this place was deserted, and no one bought them, so I took them home. If so, I will ask someone to buy them some other day. I'll send it back to you." This was yet another surprise, and it was also the loyalty of the owner.Yue'e and Yao Liang thanked each other thousands of times, bowed and said many thanks before the master left with the owner.

At that moment, Yue'e and Yao Liang settled down in this big town in Pingchuan Prefecture.
