Placid Chang'an

Xiao Yuanchen raised his eyebrows immediately, and stood behind Qi Lin, "You are finally here, hurry up, let's go, I can't stay here any longer."

Su Cen frowned imperceptibly. This Prince Ning is really considerate. He has just brought him here, so he is in a hurry to ask for someone to come.It's such a pity, locked on the bed and hugged in my arms, let someone come out to buy some lotus leaf cakes, he was disgusted, and he had to clean up the mess in the end.

"Slow down," Su Cen stepped forward to greet Qi Lin, "I'm afraid Guard Qi doesn't know about it, we are trying a case."

"Oh?" Qi Lin's light eyes flashed, "What case is more important than the prince?"

"Of course the prince is important," Su Cen nodded, and said: "That being the case, please hurry up and pay the money, so that we can close the case, and don't delay the prince's 'business'."

"If I don't pay, I won't pay. What can you do with me?" Xiao Yuanchen poked his neck to make Su Cen look bad. If he gave the money, wouldn't he admit that he had lost to Su Cen, not only in this case, but also in other aspects.

Su Cen smiled at Qi Lin, "Look, there is nothing I can do if the son doesn't cooperate."

Xiao Yuanchen glared at Su Cen fiercely, grabbed Qi Lin, and insisted to the end, "Let's go."

"Presumptuous!" Su Cen suddenly turned serious, his face as cold as jade, "What kind of place do you think this is, you can come and leave whenever you want!"

Xiao Yuanchen was also slightly taken aback by the shock. In his impression, although Su Cen was not a good person, he was far from shocking.Whether it was him stumbling someone in the Huxin Pavilion, watching people fish in troubled waters in the court hall, or even getting those slaps in front of Su's house that day, he always felt that this person was at best a needle in the face, and he never thought that there was such a thing. Straight side.

Xiao Yuanchen couldn't help but stop and turn his head to squint his eyes, because of this official uniform?Obviously he is the one with the backing, so why is this person's waist straighter than his?

Xiao Yuanchen's momentum has already weakened by three points, "I am going back according to the order of the prince, do you dare to resist the order?"

"My lord, I will take the blame." Su Cen gestured to the left and right, "Close the door."

Immediately, a yamen servant came forward and closed the two vermilion gates of Dali Temple.

"You guys are resisting the order and not obeying it, it's rebellion!" Xiao Yuanchen panicked when he saw the two closed doors, and shouted anxiously: "Qi Lin! Qi Lin, do it!"

Qi Lin held the sword in his hand, but slowly let go, shaking his head lightly.

Su Cen stepped forward and stood behind the door, "Don't you understand? It's not the door that traps you, but the hearts of the people."

I saw that the people watching the excitement outside the door had already followed in, blocking the door.

To Xiao Yuanchen, it was just a few boxes of lotus leaf crisps and a few bolts of brocade, but to them, it was a year of hard work.In the past, the people never fought against the officials, but this time someone finally stood on their side, and they would fight to the death!

If you want to leave, just step on all these people!

"You!" Xiao Yuanchen pointed at Su Cen, then turned to Qi Lin and ordered, "Boom all these people away!"

Qi Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not move.A group of unarmed people, how do you want him to do it?

"You all can't resist the decree!" Xiao Yuanchen almost roared, glaring at Su Cen and then at Qi Lin, but neither of them had the intention of making a move.

After a long stalemate, Xiao Yuanchen could only angrily take out his purse, take out a piece of silver and throw it on the ground, "Is that all right?"

Su Cen slowly changed into a smiling face, stepped aside, and signaled to open the door left and right, "My son, go slowly."

Xiao Yuanchen led his horse and left angrily. Su Cen picked up the silver from the ground, wiped it with his sleeve and handed it to the woman, "Remember in the future, if you meet this kind of person again, go around it."

The woman nodded hastily holding the silver, and pulled her son to give Su Cen three big salutes before getting up.

"Study hard." Su Cen patted the child's head.

"I will be a good official like Mr. Su in the future." The child vowed.

Watching the mother and son leave, and the people watching the excitement outside the door gradually dispersed, Su Cen let out a sigh of relief.No matter how tough the attitude is, the head is still needed.

Sure enough, one will be confident if one has something to rely on, but some people are arrogant because of being favored, forgetting how much they really weigh.

Was he also so annoying when he forced Song Jiancheng to leave and went to the Ministry of Rites to ask for the list?

no?

There's none?

After looking at the empty lobby for a while, Su Cen turned around and met Zhang Jun's livid face.

Su Cen hurriedly took two steps back: "Master Zhang..."

"Such a small case can make such a big show. My ancestor, you hanged yourself as a birthday boy—don't you think you have a long life? How dare you mess with anyone?"

Fearing that Mr. Zhang would not let him take the case again, Su Cen hurriedly softened his tone and said, "Master Zhang, isn't everything settled?"

"In the future, weigh your own head first before doing things, alas," Zhang Jun flicked his sleeves heavily, "ah!"

Xiao Yuanchen led the horse and walked two miles away, and there were still people pointing behind him, and the more he walked, the more angry he was, who was this Su Cen, who made him lose face in front of so many people, and that woman, who dared to sue him? ?He is now the heir of the Northern Liang Palace living in Xingqing Palace, even a group of ants dare to point fingers at him!

Xiao Yuanchen suddenly stopped and looked at Qi Lin, "Why didn't you help me just now?"

Qi Lin stopped and looked at him, silent.

"Do you also think he is better than me?"

Qi Lin said, "I'm just following orders."

"Order?" Xiao Yuanchen said, "then the prince ordered you to take me back, why didn't you do it? You wouldn't like him too, would you? Do you want the rest of the prince's food?"

A chill flashed in Qi Lin's eyes, but he finally endured it and did not move.

"Slave dog, you dare to move me without the lord's order?" Xiao Yuanchen sneered and got on his horse, "I don't want to go back now, so go back by yourself first." After saying that, he raised his whip and urged the horse to go away, startled again Passers-by scolded angrily.

After getting off the office that day, Su Cen went around to Dongshi Restaurant to buy two jars of monkey brew. After thinking about it, he packed peanuts and stewed beef and brought them back to Su's house. They drank with Qu Ling'er that night. Had a great time.

The two held their cups and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, everything was kept silent.

After drinking for three rounds, Su Cen pretended to be drunk and pulled Qu Ling'er and asked, "Why did you escape from the secret door?"

Qu Ling'er's eyes had long been blurred, she stared at Su Cen for a while, then waved her hands and grinned: "I can't say...I can't say."

After finishing speaking, he fell headlong on the table and snored gradually.

Su Cen smiled, filled herself again, touched Qu Ling'er's forehead, and drank it all in one gulp.

The clapper knocked three times in Chang'an City, and Ah Fu came over to clean up the mess for the two of them.

As soon as they entered the door, they immediately wrinkled their noses. What are the two of them drinking? It smells like vinegar.

Su Cen had just been supported to lie down, but before she fell asleep, she heard a rapid knock on the door.

Su Cen frowned, there is a curfew in Chang'an city, who will come here at this hour?

As soon as he put on his clothes and came out of the room, he saw that Ah Fu had led Xiao Sun over in a hurry. When he came to the front, Xiao Sun saluted slightly and said anxiously: "It's not good, my lord, there has been a murder case."

Standing in the lobby of Dali Temple, Su Cen felt that his heart was congested and his ears were buzzing, and he almost couldn't stand still for a moment.

The mother and son who knelt here to salute him during the day are now lying on the ground, their faces are pale, their bodies are stained with blood, and they have already lost their breath.

And what the child held tightly in his hand was the two pennies he gave.

Su Cen stood still while leaning on the table, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's going on?"

The yamen servant at the side replied: "The man was found in the gutter outside the city. A drunk man accidentally fell into it and saw it. He was already dead when he found it. And..." The yamen servant took a sneaky look at Su Cen , I hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"Say!" Su Cen said coldly.

"Also... and Chengmen Lang saw that Shizi Xiao also went out of the city gate, and he came back not long after the mother and son left, and when the city gate closed..."

Xiao Yuanchen!

Su Cen's eyes were icy cold for a moment.

"Go." Su Cen stood up.

"where to?"

"Xingqing Palace."
