Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

Chapter 45 The clouds are rising and flying, and the wind is rising

Leping Prince's Mansion is located in Changle Hutong, not far from the palace. Many people gathered at the door early in the morning.

There was a naked man lying on his back on the bluestone steps at the entrance of the house. Not only was the man covered in whip wounds, but he also had bleeding from his mouth and nose. If anyone who dared to step forward to check it out, he would have already lost his breath.

Someone with sharp eyes in the crowd recognized Zhao Kun, "I know this man, he is Boss Zhao from Jiangnan! He is often with King Leping these days!"

"Being beaten like this, what crime did you commit?"

"You don't know yet? He was doing business in partnership with King Leping and was deceived. As for what happened yesterday, the people from the capital government went around to investigate and investigate, but they couldn't find the liar. King Leping was so angry that he beat him up. Had a meal."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's such a cold weather, I'm beaten again and again, but even my clothes are stripped off, ugh..."

Some kind-hearted person threw a straw mat on Zhao Kun's belly, which could at least cover his shame.

"I saw someone gave him clothes and food last night, but he didn't want it himself. He had to come to Prince Leping's Mansion to beg for mercy. He didn't want to die here this morning. What a sin!"

"A traveling businessman from the south of the Yangtze River was working alone in the capital. He thought he would make a fortune by joining King Leping, but he didn't expect to end up like this. He didn't even have anyone to collect the corpse..."

"What a poor man..."

The people who were watching at the gate of Prince Leping's Mansion were chatting with each other. It wasn't until the door opened and the guards came out that they dispersed in a crowd.

A young boy pushed out a cart from the back door of Prince Leping's Mansion. The cart was covered with straw mats. He loaded Zhao Kun's body onto the cart, swept it with straw, and pushed it out of the city.

The guard carried a bucket of lime and spread a thick layer of lime on the place where Zhao Kun lay at the door to drive away bad luck.

When Jing Fan reported the news of Zhao Kun's death, Beisheng's temples throbbed, causing her to frown tightly in pain and not let go for a long time.

This was the first time that she killed an innocent person out of revenge. After all, she was also guilty of the sins of others.

Lu Zhu handed a money bag to Jing Fan, pulled him outside the door and whispered: "Take the money, ride a fast horse to Zhao Kun's hometown, and send a message to his family. Come to Beijing to collect the body."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Jing Fan put the money bag in his arms and turned away.

The second girl's guilt was seen in their servants' eyes. Although they didn't understand why the second girl wanted to join forces with Yan Mo to harm King Leping, they still had their reasons.

Since they followed the second girl, they naturally did everything according to the second girl's wishes.

Chang Yue brought over Yan Mo's portrait of Haizhu. Beisheng looked at the portrait and sneered, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it in the fire cage. With a pop, high flames shot out and burned up instantly.

It's so similar. The person in the portrait is so similar to Yan Mo. If this continues, how long can Yan Mo hide?

But neither the liar nor King Leping had the final say. The documents they signed with Yan Mo would not be false. If they agreed to do something now and then defaulted on it, in the end it was King Leping who was narrow-minded.

What he was afraid of now was that King Leping would find Yan Mo first and tear up the contract. Yan Mo might not be able to defend himself at all. The top priority was to get Yan Mo to surrender voluntarily and preserve the evidence in his hand to gain the upper hand.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. At this juncture, Yan Mo will definitely not return to Runing. Where will he hide?
  Bei Sheng opened the door and shouted outside: "Wan Yue, call Yan Qing!"

"Yes."

When Yan Qing arrived, Bei Sheng had already written a letter and handed it to Yan Qing, "Go to Runing quickly and quietly give this letter to the man at Donglai Tea House and ask him to find a way to deliver it to Boss Yan. , you must be quick! Also, take some gifts and go to my uncle’s house to greet my uncle and Jinhuai for me.”

"Yes!"

In this way, when others ask, it will be because she misses her uncle, and no one will doubt her motives for sending people to Runing.

Just before Yan Qing left, the maid from Meixiangju announced at the door: "Second Miss, Mr. Xu from the eldest princess's residence is here to visit. Madam, please come over and talk."

Xiao Xu!

In an instant, Xu Beisheng's mind went blank. Like a volcano erupting, magma rolled through his heart and submerged everything around him.

After being stunned for a moment, he said: "I'll pack up and go right away." The maidservant went away. Beisheng sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her makeup. Is her hairpin crooked? She didn't sleep well last night. Does her complexion look bad? .

Fortunately, the original tired look disappeared long ago when he heard Xiao Xu's name.

After cleaning up hastily, we went to Meixiangju.

Xiao Xu was wearing a navy blue robe, sitting at the head of Mrs. Yu. His pink and white velvet cloak was hanging on the hanger behind him, and he was talking to Mrs. Yu in a gentle manner.

When Bei Sheng entered, his delicate eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and saluted, "Xiao Xu has met Miss Xu..."

He couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was Xu Nanyin or Xu Beisheng, and he didn't dare to shout.

Mrs. Yun smiled faintly and said, "This is my second daughter, Beisheng. The eldest daughter caught a cold yesterday and is feeling unwell. She is resting in her room."

Beisheng suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and saluted Xiao Xu, "I have met Mr. Xu."

She sat down on the soft mat next to Mrs. Yun.

Xiao Xu sat up straight, put his hands on his knees, looked bright, and said gently: "This junior has to be taken care of by your majesty and got a casual position in the saddlery and harness bureau of the Ministry of Industry. In the past, Her Royal Highness the Princess had to take care of Duke An to return home safely. Now, tonight I can Serving the country, I dare not forget the kindness of An Guogong in the past, and I come here to express my gratitude."

Beisheng's little heart was beating fast, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face. He was really on duty in the saddlery bureau, and he was no longer a good-for-nothing person.

Mrs. Yun lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "Young Master has spoken harshly. My husband does not dare to take credit for what happened back then. It is His Majesty's kindness and God's favor that Her Royal Highness the Princess can return to the country. Now that the Young Master has grown up, he has begun to serve the country." , Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Young Master have finally come to the end of their hardships."

Beisheng couldn't hold it back and asked in a low voice: "I wonder what Mr. Xu's position is in the saddle and saddlery bureau?"

Mrs. Yun glared at her secretly, and Beisheng immediately lowered his eyes.

A smile appeared on Xiao Xu's lips, "He is the envoy of the Anma and Bridle Bureau."

"Emissary?" Bei Sheng couldn't believe it. She originally thought that the deputy envoy was a dying person and could recommend Xiao Xu to take her place, but she didn't expect that he would be an envoy.

Xiao Xu's eyes were filled with light and he said no more.

Bei Sheng smiled and raised his hands to him: "Congratulations, Mr. Xiao."

Mr. Xiao?
  The appointment came only the day before yesterday, and this is the first time someone has called him "Master Xiao" so far.

After Xiao Xu was stunned, he lowered his eyes and said, "I don't dare to trouble the girl to call me 'Sir'. I'm not worthy..."

Bei Sheng wanted to speak, but Mrs. Yun glanced at her, so she had to shut up.

Mrs. Yun said: "Since the young master has arrived at the saddle and harness bureau, it is because of his talent. Why should he be humble? As a human being, you must be humble, but as an official, you cannot be like this. You must not be flattered, but you must also be able to submit, and you must have the ability to be an official. His toughness and character.”

Xiao Xu cupped his hands towards Madam Yun and said calmly: "Thank you Madam for your teaching, I am deeply grateful. I have just taken office, so I have to prepare everything. I don't dare to stay, so I say goodbye!"

Mrs. Yun said to Ye Zhi: "Send Mr. Xu off for me."

Beisheng stood up and whispered: "Mother..."

Although Mrs. Yun didn't know what her daughter was hiding, she still said, "Then go ahead."

A maid took off the thick cloak from the hanger and handed it to Xiao Xu. He stepped out with Bei Sheng slowly following behind.

There was silence all the way until Xiao Xu left the gate of the Duke's Mansion and was about to board the carriage, then he looked back at Bei Sheng and bowed deeply: "Xiao Xu thanked the second girl."

Bei Sheng couldn't hold it back, tears welled up in his eyelashes, and said again: "Congratulations, Mr. Xiao! The day when the clouds rise and fly, that's when Feng Peng takes action..."

She was quite far away, and I don't know if Xiao Xu heard her words. He just nodded at her with a smile, turned around and stepped on the footstool and got into the carriage.
