Take space to raise cubs on the road to escape

Chapter 296 296. Understand
"You said, is this the case?" After figuring out the cause and effect, the leading officer looked at the man in gray clothes coldly, obviously very unhappy.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, for everyone's safety, they have to patrol the huge streets many times a day, but there will be some unsightly people causing trouble, because they think they are not working hard enough.

The leading officer had a very bad expression on his face, and looked coldly at the man in gray clothes looking for trouble.

"Did you rob other people's children?" He asked coldly.

When running a business, it is impossible to only listen to the opinions of one party.

"I... didn't grab it, I... took it from the stall owner." The man said cowardly.

Facing the cold-faced official servant, the boy in gray uniform was frightened, and looked at his little master imploringly.

"With the consent of others, or is the stall owner willing to give it to you?"

The boy in gray clothes froze, shaking his head guiltily.

"Since others don't agree, it's buying and selling by force. Who gave you this right to deliberately provoke troubles. Do you want to go to jail?" The leading officer stared with displeased eyes, and the frightened boy in gray uniform shook his head repeatedly.

"I... I was wrong. I shouldn't have forced the purchase without other people's consent. I apologize." When he heard that the young boy had been jailed, he immediately confessed and decisively admitted his mistake.

He is just a servant who pretends to be powerful. Just now, the little master was indifferent to his begging eyes, so he knew that the little master was annoyed by him, how could he dare to be tough without a backer.

And if this matter really got to the Yamen, he would really be finished.

"It's been a long time since it ended like this. It's obviously not a big deal. I have to blush and have a thick neck."

"Yes, what the official said is right. It's not a big deal. If this person can't wait for a good word to say, it's not impossible to let him buy it first, but the child has already reached out, but he was snatched away abruptly. How can a father bear it, but we are too excited and bother all the officials."

People don't fight with officials. This is a famous aphorism that has never changed since ancient times. How could Gu Lan not understand, and immediately softened his posture, and let go of the hand that had been holding the man's collar.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fairness of the officials. Otherwise, Gu Lan would not give in. It's not that she has no background.

"I'm sorry." The young master in Huafu also stood up at this moment, and everything was clear when the official mission arrived. He looked at the second son in disappointment, and Qin Chongtian apologized decisively.

If you are wrong, you are wrong, and if you do something wrong, you should apologize.

Then he looked at the officer in shame. He didn't expect to startle the officer by buying a sugar painting.

Although he was not afraid, he didn't want such disgraceful things to spread to his father's ears, nor did he want to expose his identity as a son of an official family.

Especially my father is strict in running the family, if he knows that the second son is acting so arrogantly and domineeringly, which will damage his reputation and the reputation of the family, the second son's life may not be guaranteed.

After all, after serving him for so long, he also wanted to leave a way for his second son to survive.

In fact, the officials noticed this young man as soon as they arrived. After all, the young man's clothes were outstanding in a group of dusty and rough clothes, like a little red in the green bushes, too conspicuous, and his appearance and temperament were not good. vulgar.

Previously, he was only thought of as a young master watching the excitement, but he did not expect to be one of the victims.

The leading officer looked at him but couldn't help staring, always feeling that this young man looked familiar.

"I'm sorry, I caused trouble to the officials. This matter is indeed our fault. It is my son who is not strict with his orders. I will definitely compensate you. I hope the officials will deal with it lightly." .

To be so stable at such a young age is very remarkable, it must have been carefully cultivated, and the leading official took another look at the young master in brocade clothes.

Although he didn't remember who it belonged to, but he can definitely impress him, it must not be the son of an ordinary family.

Immediately he didn't take it, and said politely: "If you are a bad servant, how could it be the fault of the young master? There is no need for an apology, the young master, but he is afraid that he will be taken back and he must be disciplined."

"That's right." Qin Chongtian nodded, and he already had a decision in his heart.

Then he looked at the boy in gray clothes, with disappointment in his cold eyes, "Second son, you know your mistake."

The boy in gray clothes, that is, the second son, had never seen such a strange look from the young master, and suddenly he was so flustered that he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Young master, it's my fault, I know my mistake. The little one must change, young master forgive the little one, right?"

"Now it's not my son who didn't forgive you."

Hearing this, the two sons quickly knelt and turned to face Young Master Xuanyi and his son, "Yes... I'm sorry, it was all a small fault just now, the small one shouldn't have snatched the sugar painting of the young master, let alone uttered wild words. Kowtow, if you have a lot of adults, please forgive the little ones."

Kneeling on the ground is a burst of kowtow, one after another, as if the other party will keep kowtowing if they don't forgive their heads.

Gu Lan really didn't want to talk to this person, but there was an official next to him, and he really apologized. If she insisted on holding on to this person, it would show that she was petty and unmannered.

"Forget it, since you are apologizing, I am not the one to be unforgiving. I just hope that you can really realize your mistakes. After all, not everyone is as kind as I am." Gu Lan said coldly .

"Yes, I have realized my mistake, and I will never make it again." The second son stopped kowtowing in relief, and said hastily.

He was so flustered that he just wanted to get this matter over quickly, and then ask the little master for forgiveness, otherwise his good days would really come to an end.

It's a pity that the little master didn't look at him at all, but focused on Young Master Xuanyi.

"Young Master Xie is magnanimous, but this matter is also due to my laxity, and I have an irrevocable responsibility, so I should compensate you."

Speaking of which, Qin Chongtian looked at the second son, and stretched out his little hand towards him.

The word "compensation" made the second son's face turn pale suddenly, cold sweat flowed out, and he did not move for a long time.

"Second Son" Qin Chongtian called out lightly, apparently already upset.

"It's over." The second son only had these two words in his mind at the moment. Seeing the young master's shaking hand, he had no choice but to take out a money bag from his body, and handed it to the young master tremblingly.

As soon as he held it in his hand, Qin Chongtian looked coldly at the servant he had always trusted, his head bowed on the ground and his body trembling slightly.

When he came out, he personally took out a banknote from the money box, a few ingots of ten taels of silver, and some broken silver besides them.

But now the weight of the purse in his hand was obviously wrong, it was too light.

Originally intending to pass it directly to Young Master Xuanyi, he glanced at the second son in disappointment, and then opened the money bag.

Then the immature face sank suddenly, the silver bill was still in the wallet, but there was only one silver ingot left, and there were a few small pieces of scattered silver.

They had been out for a while, but he didn't buy anything except the sugar painting, which he thought was quite interesting, and he hadn't gone to the book store he wanted to go the most, so it didn't cost much money at all.

Qin Chongtian took the money bag and nodded apologetically to Young Master Xuanyi, standing in front of the second son, looking gloomy at the servant who he thought was the most heartfelt to him.

It is precisely because of this that I feel so angry in my heart, and feel so strongly betrayed and deceived. For the first time, I questioned my tolerance for my servants.

No wonder Dad said that he was too soft-tempered, not suitable for leading soldiers to fight, so let him study hard.
