surnamed Wang

Chapter 259 Huqin, Pipa and Qiangdi

"The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, why not?"

Zhang Qianyue glared at the middle-aged man who treated her like his own daughter.

"Girl, do you want uncle to lose his black yarn?".

"It's also the governor of the government. Uncle can't imitate Bao Gong's stern and selfless face. Even the son-in-law dares to kill the son-in-law. I think you are afraid of the powerful."

Don't look at Zhang Qianyue hasn't read any books, but he speaks in a way.

Normally, if a younger generation dared to talk to him like this, Zhang Xiantai would have to slap him with his big mouth, but for this little girl who is comparable to his own daughter, he couldn't show any temper, and still said earnestly:
"You don't understand the twists and turns in the officialdom, but when you grow up, you will understand Uncle's difficulties.

And you said that the Eighth Prince and the princess stole the mansions of officials in Beijing, not to mention that a lot of people would give money to them by hooking their fingers, even if they did, do you have evidence?
Just rely on those two portraits? "

"My eyesight is very good. It's definitely because they didn't run away. As long as my uncle catches them and tortures them to extract confessions..."

Before the little girl finished speaking, Zhang Xiantai stepped forward and covered her mouth.

"Grandma, please spare me. Back then, the second prince did not dare to say that he would be punished if he conspired against the Ministry of Criminal Justice. You wanted to torture the prince because of a theft?

Besides, is it the same for Nie Shenzhang who you regard as a role model?To extract a confession by torture? "

As soon as she heard Nie's arrest, the little girl became quiet for an instant. Nie's arrest has solved countless outstanding cases, but she never heard that they were solved by torture.

Seeing that his persuasion had worked, Zhang Xiantai took out a tooth card from his pocket and said:
"Listen to my uncle's advice, don't provoke that Eighth Prince. Nuo, this is the tooth card I got from Mr. Duan of the Criminal Department. There is a test in the Criminal Department. It should not be difficult for you to pass it with your skills.

As long as you pass the test, then I will go through the relationship and arrange you in. Wouldn't you be one step closer to the position of the Four Gods?

Let me tell you, it was Shenzhang Nie at the beginning, and he joined the Ministry of Punishment at seventeen, and you are only fourteen now..."

Having said that, Zhang Xiantai kept silent and looked at the excited niece opposite with a smile.

Although the little girl is skilled, she is still a child at heart. When she heard the news, she immediately forgot all the unhappiness just now. After taking the tooth card in Zhang Xiantai's hand, she looked left and right, and her eyes almost turned into crescent moons. up.

"Thank you uncle."

As the little girl spoke, she quickly filled up the tea for the other party.

Zhang Xiantai was naturally happy, picked up the teacup and drank it, feeling that the tea was much sweeter now.

At this moment, the little girl Youyou said:

"When I become a god catcher one day, I must bring that Eighth Prince to justice."

"Pfft..." Zhang Xiantai spat out a mouthful of tea.

……

As the center of the dynasty, the most important thing in the capital is new things. People with a little bit of skill have sharpened their heads and drilled in, trying to gain a reputation.

Jugglers, acrobats, street performers, even a clay figurine maker, as long as they have exclusive gatekeeper skills and can gain a foothold in the capital, they are not far from getting rich.

At this moment, a band formed a circle in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital and began to perform.

There are four or five people in the band, the leader is an old man in sixties, holding a huqin which is not common in the Central Plains, and the rest are playing pipa and Qiangdi respectively.

The tunes of the few people revealed a rough atmosphere unique to northern Xinjiang, like wind and sand blowing on the face, which has a special flavor in the capital where the tunes are so graceful and graceful.

It’s just that not everyone appreciates this taste, = there are only a few people around, when the old man finished playing, he picked up the wooden plate and went forward to ask for money, there were not many people and several left , there are only two pitiful extra copper plates on the wooden plate.

Seeing this, the old man sighed and came to the last person.He didn't have any hope at first, but unexpectedly, the man put a silver ingot directly on the wooden tray.

"The sound of the old man's huqin is very nice." The man said.

Hearing this, the old man raised his head with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to say thanks, he found that the man had already turned and left.

The old man rubbed his eyes in disbelief, wondering if it was an illusion, the man seemed to have a more delicate face than a woman just now.

……

Just as Lu Xiaoxian turned around and walked not far away, he heard a familiar voice behind him:

"Where did Brother Lu go these days? Let Wang miss you so much."

A smile appeared on Lu Xiaoxian's face when he heard this, and he turned to look at the man behind him.

"Prince, long time no see."

"Is it over after a long time no see?"

Wang Gangquan put his hands into his sleeves, showing a ruffian attitude, "Let's go, find a place to drink."

Wang Gangquan passed by here just now, and was also attracted by the sound of the huqin. He wanted to go up to find out, but saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Just came to say hello.

This is the first time for Su Qiaoqiao to meet a man who is prettier than a woman, and she can't help but widen her eyes, especially when the other party smiles, even she, who has not studied much, can't help but praise, what a beautiful woman .

At this moment, seeing that her elder brother seemed to be very familiar with him, Su Qiaoqiao couldn't help becoming suspicious, especially the sentence "I miss you so much" just now, which made her always feel that something was wrong.

Could it be...

A bold idea emerged in Su Qiaoqiao's mind.

Naturally, Wang Bingquan didn't know what the girl was thinking, so he introduced to Lu Xiaoxian on the opposite side:
"This is my sister, Su Qiaoqiao."

Lu Xiaoxian smiled politely, "I've met Miss Su." She didn't even get to the bottom of why Wang Bingquan's younger sister was named Su.

Su Qiaoqiao nodded back, her smile was a little stiff.

She now feels more and more that there is something wrong between the two of them.

"You two go back first, let's go to a nearby restaurant to catch up."

Wang Gingquan gave instructions to Su Qiaoqiao and Xiaochunzi, they nodded upon hearing this, turned and left.

Su Qiaoqiao looked back three times at every step, trying to find some clues, but this scene changed in the eyes of other people.

Wang Gangquan smiled and said:
"As expected of Brother Lu, my younger sister was so out of her mind the first time she saw you."

Although Lu Xiaoxian is over [-] years old, he has never even touched a girl's hand. Hearing the other party's teasing at this moment, he couldn't help but blushed slightly and said:

"Brother Wang, stop joking."

The street was bustling with people, and the conversation could not be heard clearly from three steps away. In addition, Wang Gangquan and his wife were talking about people's merits, so they deliberately lowered their voices, and Su Qiaoqiao who was not far away couldn't hear anything clearly.

Although she couldn't hear clearly, she could see Lu Xiaoxian's shy appearance. At this moment, she turned her head stiffly as if struck by lightning.

Xiao Chunzi at the side noticed something strange at this moment, and thought that Su Qiaoqiao fell in love with Lu Xiaoxian at first sight, and said in a lost tone:
"Qiaoqiao you like this one?"

The woman who was called Qiaoqiao in private still hadn't recovered from the shock, and said thoughtfully:

"Of course this girl doesn't like it, the makeup smell is too strong, but it seems that someone likes it."

As he said that, he turned his head to look again. At this moment, Wang Gangquan and the two had already turned around and walked towards the restaurant. I don't know whether it was a coincidence or what, but Wang Gangquan scratched his ass.

……

"What's going on, what have you been doing these days?"

The two sat down, Wang Gangquan asked.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled apologetically, and said slowly:
"Brother Wang went to the southeast, the emperor already expected that the second prince would rebel, because he was afraid that the prince would not be his opponent, so he asked me and Xishun to pave the way.

We first settled in Zhenjian Mansion, Xishun pretended to be a beggar, and intercepted a letter from Princess Donghan to the Second Prince.Afterwards, I went to Wangshizhai on Girl Mountain, where the head of Baida was a bandit, but he still obeyed His Majesty. "

"Wait, are you saying that you have been to Zhenjian Mansion and robbed Chu Lixia's letter, and those three Kunlun slaves were actually prepared for Wang Bingde?"

Grasping a clue, Wang Gangquan hurriedly asked.

Lu Xiaoxian nodded, "The Second Prince has a relationship with a certain powerful official in Donghan, and this time the rebellion may be fueled by that person secretly."

Wang Gangquan finally understood that the co-author of this guy's calculations was deep enough, even Donghan was involved, so he couldn't help but continued to ask:
"What else was in the letter?"

"The main thing is to let the Second Prince not hurt Princess Donghan after he gets things done. Besides... there seems to be a deal mentioned, but he didn't go into details."

Hearing this, Wang Gangquan rubbed his chin and began to think. If the three Kunlun slaves were exchanged for Chu Lixia's safety, it would make sense, but why did Chu Lixia risk his way to Beijing? Could it be related to this transaction?
Thinking of this Wang Quanquan, he couldn't help but feel a headache for a while, cooperating with Emperor Xian En to let Chu Lixia live in the palace, this is what he meant, and he wanted to find out about her.But that girl is very strange, it may not be so easy...

Wang Gingquan suddenly looked at Lu Xiaoxian opposite him with ambiguous eyes.

Lu Xiaoxian got goosebumps from being looked at, and didn't know what the other party's eyes meant.

"I don't know if the Beauty Meter will work..." Wang Gangquan thought to himself.

"Oh right, why didn't you see Xi Shun?"

The two chatted for a long time before Wang Gangquan finally remembered that the other party had another apprentice.

"I let him stay in Girl Mountain."

"Do you know his identity?" Wang Gangquan continued to ask cautiously.

Ever since Wang Gangquan took over the secret guard, he knew many inside stories, including Xishun Maotu's identity.

At that time, Wang Gangquan was stunned when he saw the list, thinking that this kid had hidden it so deeply that he didn't see it at all.

But having said that, there were so many hidden guards around him, just like going to the market, but he didn't notice any of them. After finally suspecting Xiao Chunzi, he guessed wrong in the end.

Hearing that the other party mentioned Xishun's identity, Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly and said:

"I only found out later, in fact, Sheng Endi knew of my existence early in the morning, and Xishun was also sent to monitor me.

Later, when Xian'er became the emperor, this surveillance was no longer necessary, and Xishun was used instead to test you. "

"Test me?"

Lu Xiaoxian nodded, "Try to see if Brother Wang is someone worthy of entrustment."

Wang Gangquan couldn't help but twitch.Is the eldest girl looking for her husband's family, or someone worthy of entrustment?

But after thinking about it, he realized that it was precisely because he helped Lu Xiaoxian and his disciples back then that he had the act of supporting Gu today.

In this way, I was calculated to death from the beginning.

Wang Bingquan smiled wryly, thinking what happened to these people, Wang Bingxian was an upright person back then, but he has learned to calculate people when he becomes the emperor.

Lu Xiaoxian seemed to see Wang Bingquan's thoughts, and explained:

"Brother Wang, don't worry too much. Your Majesty is new to you. At the beginning, he wanted to find the third princess. Because of your outstanding ability and loyalty, Brother Wang, he finally entrusted you with this important task."

"Then I have to thank him?" Wang Gangquan rolled his eyes.

……

While the two were talking, the food was basically ready.

Wang Gingquan didn't bother to talk about those troublesome things anymore, so he had a drink with Lu Xiaoxian directly.

"Should we be able to stay in the capital for a few more days this time?"

"Well, I won't be leaving for a while, if it's the day to leave..."

When Lu Xiaoxian said this, he stopped talking.

"Are you still doubting my strength? To tell you the truth, as long as I'm around for a day, the second child will never succeed.

I'm not as good as him in terms of disgusting people, but in a real fight, I can beat him to his knees and beg for mercy. "

Taking advantage of the strength of wine, Wang Pingquan began to brag, Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said nothing when he saw this, Wang Pingquan immediately changed the subject:

"Brother Lu, don't say my brother is urging you, you are so old, you don't think about finding a woman you like?"

Lu Xiaoxian is over [-] years old, no matter whether he is in the dynasty or in Beitu, he should be the age to have a grandson.

"Although you are a bit of a disaster for the country and the people, there are only a handful of women who can match you, but you can't be a bachelor for a lifetime, can you?"

Wang Gangquan picked up the wine glass and drank it down, but a thought suddenly flashed in his head, he couldn't believe it:

"Isn't your kid a glass?"

"..."

Lu Xiaoxian, who kept a refined smile from the beginning to the end, froze for the first time.Although he didn't know what "glass" was, he could probably guess from the other party's tone and demeanor that it meant nothing more than Long Yang with broken sleeves.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't know how to explain it. This scene seemed to be the default in Wang Gangquan's eyes.

He moved his butt, getting further away from Lu Xiaoxian.

"This is troublesome." Wang Gingquan muttered in a low voice, and after staring at the other party's face seriously for a while, he said with a troubled face: "Actually, it's not impossible."

……

On the streets of the capital, the old man who had finished his performance was ready to close his stall. Apart from the one ingot of silver rewarded by the young master, he had no income this morning, and a few copper coins were not enough for the stall fee.

When I first came to the capital, the business was booming, and I could earn a lot of money in a day, but after a long time, the novelty wore off, and the number of spectators became less and less. Now it has been a few days in a row that I can’t make ends meet, and the old man plans to leave Here it is.

At this moment, a girl with delicate facial features and slightly dark skin walked towards this side.

The woman was obviously familiar with the old man, and asked:

"Grandpa Yu, why did you call it quits so early today?"

When the old man saw the girl, his originally frowning brows relaxed, and he said with a smile:
"Hey, the business has been bad these days. I'm afraid I can't do it anymore. How about you, Miss Zhuang, have you found the person you're looking for?"

The woman shook her head dejectedly when she heard the words, "I have inquired everywhere, but no one knows, and that theater building is also closed."

The old man sighed and said:

"We are leaving the capital tomorrow, do you want to come together, girl?"

The woman shook her head, "I want to wait another month, maybe he will come back."

The old man nodded with a smile and explained: "Miss Zhuang is kind, she will definitely wait for it."

……

At night, Wang Gingquan, who had drunk too much, fell asleep on the wine table, Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and smiled wryly, and looked at the moon outside the window, a flash of remembrance flashed in his eyes.

Through the bright moonlight, he seemed to see his hometown, and saw the girl in white fox fur after the heavy snowfall.

Under the moonlight, the girl's skin was slightly dark and her eyes were unusually clear. She gently raised her bow and pointed it at the boy.

There was a sound of "whoosh" piercing the air, and the arrow shot out. The young man was a little panicked and wanted to avoid it, but then there was a scream of "嗤" from behind, and a prairie wolf who jumped up to attack was hit by an arrow. fell to the ground.

The girl helped the fox fur hat, walked up to her and asked:
"What's your name?"

Although the boy was a little nervous, he still replied:

"Lu Quan, how about you?"

A smile appeared on the lips of the woman holding the bow and shooting the wolf under the moon:
"My name is Zhuang Baolu."
