Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 126
Wei Wentong sat on the chair, closed his eyes, and it took him a long time to recover from this incident.

When His Royal Highness King Qi came to Liangcheng for the first time, he had already received the news. After learning that he lived in the Yan Mansion, he went up to see him several times, but was rejected every time. Therefore, Wei Wentong never saw him. But what does Gu Qi look like?

I don't know how this woman met His Royal Highness Qi Wang, and His Royal Highness Qi Wang is willing to stand up for her.

His Royal Highness King Qi is so favored by the emperor, he was crowned king at a young age, Wei Wentong broke out in cold sweat, he really kicked a piece of iron this time.

"Quickly go and invite Master Tang to the yamen, and tell him that I have something urgent to discuss with him."

"Yes."

After the officer and soldier left, the county magistrate sat on a chair with a lot of thoughts in his mind. If this matter is not handled well, it will be a difficult problem. Losing an official job is a small thing, but losing his life is the worst thing.

Gu Lingqing raised her mouth and walked beside Zhao Min, deliberately slowing down her steps to match her walking frequency.

Zhao Min could also sense that Gu Lingqing was in a good mood, but he was puzzled by his actions just now.
Seeing that Gu Lingqing also sensed that Zhao Min had something on her mind, she took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Zhao Min express all the doubts in his heart: "I don't know why the prince gave him a day just now? Aren't you afraid that he will destroy the evidence?"

Gu Lingqing stretched out her hand and flicked Zhao Min's forehead: "Idiot." But her eyes were full of doting.

Zhao Min touched the place where he played just now, his eyes were very puzzled, the two of them only knew each other for the first day, oh no, according to his words, it was already the second time they met, but the relationship was not so good Is it possible to do this kind of move?
But Zhao Min also felt very strange in his heart, because he did not reject his closeness at all.

Gu Lingqing didn't know what Zhao Min was thinking. Seeing that it was almost noon, he wanted to find a place to eat and talk while eating, but he had to consider that Zhao Min couldn't sit down now, so he could only accompany her on the street Let's go and answer the doubts in her heart.

"He has reached a certain kind of deal with that family. He is given one day, not to find out the truth or destroy the evidence, but to leave room for them to suspect each other."

After Zhao Min heard what Gu Lingqing said, she usually thought she was smart, but she didn't want to understand the twists and turns.

Gu Lingqing looked at the doubt in her eyes, and stopped explaining: "Just watch."

Zhao Min looked up and saw that it was already noon, and the shopkeeper should have been waiting impatiently at the inn, but before he knew it, he had been out all morning, and it was time to go back and report that he was safe.

"For today's matter, Minnv would like to thank the lord here, and Shao Minnv has to go back and tell the shopkeeper about today's situation."

When Gu Lingqing heard this, she naturally understood what she meant by wanting to leave.

"Then I'll take you back. Are you living in the Laifu Inn now?"

Zhao Min was a little flattered, but he only took Gu Lingqing's polite words, how could he take it seriously, after all he is a prince, how could he be so nice to a commoner for no reason?
So Zhao Min thought he was very sensible and refused: "No need, the inn is not far from here, thank you for your kindness, but please stay."

Zhao Min's refusal made Gu Lingqing realize that in the eyes of Zhao Min now, he is just a stranger who has met a few times, and now that he still has the status of a prince, Zhao Min must not dare to act like before. Treat yourself that way.

It seems that I have to take my time, let Zhao Min adapt to me slowly, and don't be too aggressive, if I scare her away, then the loss outweighs the gain.

"Okay, then tomorrow, I will go to Laifu Inn to find you, and we will go to the Yamen together. Don't refuse, anyway, from Yanfu to Yamen, you have to pass through your inn."

Gu Lingqing didn't even say the words of refusal, so Zhao Min had no choice but to nod: "Okay."

Gu Lingqing stood where she was, watching Zhao Min limping away, with a gloomy look in her eyes.

Today was the time when Tang Shijie was patrolling the shop in Liangcheng to check the operation situation. It was already past noon when the news reached his ears.

Tang Shijie played with the two walnuts in his hand, and frowned: "Did the officers and soldiers who came to report the news say anything?"

The servant shook his head: "I didn't say what it was, I just said that the county magistrate was in a hurry to find the young master, and he looked very anxious."

"Okay, let's check this first today and inform the shop behind that we won't check the accounts today, so there's no need to wait."

The most recent incident between me and the county magistrate is the smashing of the Laifu Inn, but in Tang Shijie's opinion, it was nothing more than smashing up a store. It's solved, why are you looking for yourself so anxiously today?
Even Tang Shijie thought about it all the way on the road, but he couldn't come up with a clue.

When Tang Shijie arrived at the yamen, he saw Wei Wentong was already waiting for him, and he looked very anxious when he saw him coming.

"Master Tang, you are here."

Compared to Wei Wentong's anxiety, Tang Shijie seemed a bit more relaxed.

"I don't know what the county magistrate is looking for me for?"

Tang Shijie sat down on the stool in front of the table, and glanced at the tea cups and teapots on the table.

I don't know what it is that made the county magistrate, who always had his eyes above his head, so anxious, and he didn't know how many pots of tea he sat here and drank.

Wei Wentong was eager to discuss with him what to do: "Master Tang, do you know that His Highness King Qi came to Liangcheng a few months ago?"

Tang Shijie paused his hand playing with the walnut: "I heard it a little bit."

"You know, His Royal Highness King Qi, I asked to meet him a few times, but I didn't see it once, and today I took the initiative to come to the door."

"Oh?" Tang Shijie raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why did the magistrate mention this His Highness?"

Wei Wentong sweated slightly on his face: "Today His Royal Highness King Qi came to this yamen on his own initiative, does Young Master Tang know who he came with?"

Tang Shijie thought about what happened to him recently, and there was only the matter of Tang Shiyuan and Laifu Inn. Seeing that the county magistrate was so anxious to find him, after hearing what he said, Tang Shijie's heart ached. A bad premonition arose: "Could it be..."

Can't Tang Shijie say the next thing?Wei Wentong couldn't wait to pat his thigh, with an anxious look on his face: "It's the female cook from the Laifu Inn."

Tang Shijie's complexion is not very good either, the female cook at the Laifu Inn will always have something to do with His Royal Highness King Qi?
