The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

The Jinyi Army patrolling the street came on horseback, dismounted in front of the street, put away their swords and hurried forward, the leader of the commander knelt down on one knee in front of His Majesty, bowed his head and begged for sin: "The commander of the Jinyi Army, Zhao Bihe, came late , Your Majesty, please punish me."

Before the Holy Majesty could speak, a 27-year-old young prince dressed in an indigo brocade robe stood under the crown prince, and said with a half-smile: "If you don't talk about it, you can get it as soon as you talk about it. It's a coincidence that Commander Zhao came here." , It’s not too late. It’s obviously not too early or too late, but it seems like we have made an appointment.”

Everyone in the world knows that the son of Zhao Bihe, the commander of the Jinyi Army, Zhao Yin is the prince's companion, so of course Zhao Bihe is facing the prince.But having said that, now the crown prince occupies a righteous position, and he is the rightful prince of the dynasty.How many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were not against the prince?

The crown prince glanced at the young prince, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that what the third brother said."

The third prince just smiled when he heard the words, and just about to say something, seeing His Majesty frowned in displeasure, he had no choice but to keep silent.

The handsome young prince didn't seem to notice the two older brothers' tricks, squatted in front of the second sister, and asked with a smile: "I ask you, why do you call yourself 'old lady' at such a young age?" 'Woolen cloth?"

Before saying a word, the present sage, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the princes also looked over with great interest.

The second sister didn't want to answer the conversation, but seeing this situation, she could only bite the bullet and say: "I usually listen to what my mother said when I was at home."

Hearing the words, the handsome young man smiled again, and asked again: "Then do you know that this 'old lady' is not a good word? Your mother is usually at home, always like this? It's strange that you are so bold and reckless. I'm not afraid of kidnappers. She's really a hero among women."

Judging by the accent, I don't know whether it's a compliment or a derogation.The second sister hesitated for a moment, looking at Chen who was kneeling beside her with shame and indignation, trembling with fright but still guarding her tightly behind her, and thinking of Brother Rong who was about to discuss marriage, she had to rely on herself At a young age, he asked back like a child: "Why is it not a good thing?"

"Of course it's because of..." The handsome young man choked for a moment, then smiled, and asked again: "Then tell me, how come it's a good thing?"

The second sister groaned for a while, and her mind turned quickly. She suddenly thought of an anecdote that Ji Xiaolan called Qianlong an "old man" in the Qing Dynasty, and then cleverly argued for it. or when seeing other people who are tall and virtuous, they all address them as "old man". It can be seen that "old" is a respectful title, which means longevity and excellent. My mother often told us that women in this world , being a mother is the hardest and the most tiring, and the merit is also the highest, so we must be filial to our mother when we grow up. It can be seen that being a mother is the most hardworking and meritorious. In this case, "Lao Niang" means excellent."

Everyone was stunned when they saw the second sister talking nonsense in a serious manner.At the same time, even the handsome young man squatting in front of the second sister widened his eyes in disbelief, and looked up and down at the second sister.I don't believe that she is a little person, but her words are well-founded-although they are nonsense, at first glance, they seem to be somewhat reasonable.

The [-]-year-old man standing there also smiled when he heard this, "What a clever little girl."

After that, he walked up to him and said, "get up."

The second sister got up.I saw the sage looked at the second sister carefully for a while, because he said: "It is commendable to be quick-witted and brave in righteousness. Not bad."

When the second sister heard this, everyone in Chen Gui was overjoyed when they heard this, and kowtowed to thank her.

The Holy Majesty looked at the three kidnappers again, because he asked the prince who the fourth master Feng was.The crown prince was also full of confusion. Hearing this, Sheng Chui had a suspicious wry smile on his face and said: "So that the father will know, and the son can't figure it out. I have never heard of such a person. He is so good, but he doesn't know why." He became my son's brother-in-law."

Who doesn't know that the crown princess is Yuan Pingting, the eldest daughter of Yuan Shaowei, the chancellor of the court. If she claims to be the prince's brother-in-law, she must also belong to the Yuan family.At this moment, Fourth Master Feng came out suddenly, not to mention the crown prince's denial, even the onlookers didn't believe it.

Only the third prince secretly sneered after hearing the prince's reply.

Chen Gui had just believed in the kidnapper's deception just now, and now he was really annoyed.Hearing what the prince said, and spying on the meaning of the Holy One, he hurriedly lowered his head and interjected: "Your Majesty Qizuo, these rascals in the market will only use tricks to blackmail good men and women. If they are caught for a while, they will be used for a while. It is not uncommon for him to be deceived under the guise of royal relatives. So we don’t believe his words.”

The crown prince might as well, Chen Gui, a mere official, dared to intervene, and unknowingly glanced at Chen Gui.Because he thought about Chen Gui's confrontation with kidnapping just now, he felt that although his official position was low, he was quite clever and obedient, and he could be regarded as a talent to be made.

Only now did the Holy Majesty think of Chen Gui.After pondering for a while, he asked Chen Gui's name and official position.

As mentioned earlier, Chen Gui's seventh-rank officials were donated with money. This kind of officials donated with money is worse than the officials who are overshadowed by officials, but they are the lowest.What's more, the grade is not enough, so there is no place for him to stand even if he is ordinary upward, let alone face to face.This meeting was due to chance, and it caught His Majesty's eyes.This is why Chen Gui doesn't like it.Immediately bowed his head and reported the name of the source, as well as the ins and outs of catching the kidnapper.

Hearing that no one in Chen's residence knew this abducted girl, it was just a coincidence that the abductee's behavior was broken, but such a scene was involved, and everyone sighed again.

The Holy One was originally a kind and wise monarch, but when he saw all the passers-by kneeling on the flower street, and seeing the cold weather and wet roads, and the old and frail people trembling from the cold, he couldn't help feeling sympathetic to the people. Then he waved his hand and said, "It's just snowed, and the ground is damp, let them all get up."

When the common people heard the words, they couldn't help shouting long live again, expressing their gratitude to His Majesty for his benevolence and love for the people.It's just that after all the passers-by got up, there was a crowd of tourists on the flower street again, shoulder to shoulder, the brocade soldiers on duty and the palace guards who came out were afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos and make trouble, so the protection was very tense.Chen Gui saw the opportunity, pointing to the restaurant less than a hundred steps away from the crowd and remonstrating: "I have booked a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, and it is still quiet. If your majesty wants to, you might as well go and rest for a while .”

The words are good, but after this incident, His Majesty has long since lost the petite thought of going to the lantern festival in white dragon fish costume.Moreover, the abductor's words just now implicated the crown prince's name, even if it was nonsense, he had to be escorted down and ordered the Jinyi army to torture him severely.

The three abductees were trembling, knowing who they had offended, they were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, kowtowed, and told the whole story like beans poured out of a bamboo tube——

It turned out that Fourth Master Feng was just a well-known street rascal in Chang'an City.A native of Yangzhou, he was abducted to the north by a kidnapper when he was young.It was because he was born with a clever temperament and was used to coaxing people to be good. Not only did he accept the kidnapper as his godfather, but he also worked as a minion, helping the godfather and kidnapper do countless outrageous things.Later, the kidnapper died for some reason, and Feng Si took all the influence of the kidnapper, and then started the kidnapping business... As for how to say that he is the prince's brother-in-law, there is also a reason for it——

It was during the New Year's Eve the year before last, an imperial merchant from Jiangnan came to Beijing to do some business, because he gave countless rare treasures to Shi Rong, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, and also had two trainees who were extremely beautiful and good at singing and dancing. Yangzhou girls.That Shi Rong was originally the prince's nanny brother, he was highly regarded by the prince, and he would even please the prince.Seeing that the two Yangzhou girls were really smart and sensible, Shi Rong immediately sent them to the prince.One of the girls, surnamed Feng, was named Mei'er. Because of her good looks and clear singing voice, she won the prince's favor. Not long after, she became pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood, and now she has given birth to a daughter.

And this Feng Meier is that Feng Si's own sister.The two met by accident last summer when Feng Meier was picking out jewelry at the shop of Liulichang.Although Feng Mei Er had been trained for a while, she was innocent and pure in her disposition, seeing that Feng Si was indeed her lost brother in the past, and she was deceived by Feng Si's rhetoric, she immediately recognized her.

After Feng Si met Feng Meier, he often boasted that he was the prince's brother-in-law, and then became more daring by taking advantage of the prince's bullshit.The low-level officials in Chang'an city had received the filial respect of these rascals, and they usually turned a blind eye to their actions. Now that Feng Si was pleased, they became more and more different from his theory.

It's just that these things are kept secret, and the inside is kept secret, so the prince himself doesn't know about it.

After hearing Sanguaizi's words, everyone started to look at the prince strangely.

The prince's complexion was even more ugly, as if he was disgusted by eating dirty things, Youzi sneered and said: "It seems that Gu is usually soft-hearted, and these people who are indulged are getting more and more arrogant, and dare to do such evil in the name of the master." thing, really..."

The prince clenched his fists tightly, his face was livid, and he didn't know whether he was angry or annoyed.

Seeing this, the Holy Majesty didn't want to say anything else, he just lightly reprimanded the prince for not being strict with his orders.

Immediately afterwards, the Jinyi Army was ordered to impose martial law throughout the entire process, and the three escaped kidnappers must be arrested.He also ordered the abducted little girl to be sent home, and then drove back to the palace.

Seeing this, Chen Gui hurriedly tiptoed to Zhao Bihe, the commander of the Jinyi Army, bowed with a smile on his face, and took out a small packet of "wolf-proof medicine powder" that the second sister had packed when she was joking, from her waist purse. Throwing it into Zhao Bihe's hand, he said with a light smile, "The New Year's Eve Lantern Festival has the most people. It's not so easy to find people at this time. Fortunately, those people are covered with medicinal powder. My lord, find a few trained hounds to smell them." As soon as I smell it, as long as those kidnappers don't take a bath, they can always be found."

Zhao Bihe was having a headache what to do if he couldn't catch anyone. Seeing that Chen Gui was so smart and transparent and didn't take credit for it, he flipped the small paper bag in his hand, and said with a smile, "You're really cute."

When Chen Gui heard the words, he hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed, and kept saying modest words in his mouth.
