Chapter 118 Stealing Fragrants and Jade 2
When people think about it, they also think so. As the capital of the State of Zhao, Handan stands for one-eighth of the population of the whole State of Zhao, and its importance is self-evident. Although this position is only a Handan county magistrate, he is the county magistrate of the capital of the capital, and the county magistrate is far above other county magistrates, and even higher than most county magistrates. Therefore, except for Zhao Xin and Hu Mao's family, who are not afraid of Ran Ben, other stubborn young people are still a little afraid of Ran Ben's heart and know that they can't afford to offend him.
Shi Dan said hesitantly, "What should I do? Do you want to flinch in the middle?"
Hu Mao curled his lips and looked disapproving; "flinch? Joke, in my Uncle Fox's quotations, there has never been the word retreating.
"If not, it's not easy for us to get in because there are too many people. If there are fewer people, it would be much better for the Ran County magistrate to think about it." Hu Mao's eyes circled around the crowd and said, "You see that everyone is drinking with red faces. At a glance, you know that you have just returned from drinking, and the Ran County magistrate will definitely not like it. Only Zhao Xin and I look better. Why don't Zhao Xin and I go? The brothers go home separately and wait for the good sound of my triumphant return.
As soon as the voice fell, Shi Shan shouted unconvinced; "That's not good. Who knows if you two will collude to cheat me. No, no, I'm going too. I'm going to do an authentication.
Hu Mao stared and pointed to his face and said, "You have to go after drinking like this. You have been beaten out by the Ran County magistrate before you entered the door. Don't you want to cheat?"
Shi Shan just refused, but refused to give up the bet, and the scene was deadlocked for a while. Hu Mao turned his eyes and said, "How about this? Zhao Xin and I went to see Miss Ran, and then took one of her personal things as tokens to show you. Is that OK?"
As soon as everyone heard the words "the personal token", they suddenly showed an ambiguous smile and rose up one after another to ask Shi Dan to agree. Although Shi Dan was a little worried, he had no choice but to nod and agree.
So they agreed on a time and place to meet tomorrow, and everyone dispersed, leaving only Hu Mao and Zhao Xin.
When everyone was far away, Hu Mao took Zhao Xin's hand and said with a smile, "Sure enough, he is a good brother. The critical time is to be righteous."
Zhao Xin looked at Hu Mao suspiciously and said, "What you said is a little too much. Don't you want to live or die? Do you dare to ask Ran Min for a personal token? Is it possible that you are going to take something casually and say that it is a token to deceive everyone?
Hu Mao Zhenzhen said with talent, "How can that be? Who am I, Hu Mao? When have you seen me do cheating? Naturally, I have to do what I promised, otherwise my integrity sign will be smashed.
Immediately, he smiled and looked at Zhao Xin's eyes were a little strange. He said, "Isn't this still your help?"
Zhao Xin was looked at by his smile and shook his hand repeatedly. "Don't look for me about this. I don't know Ran Min well. No, I don't know it at all. I'm going to ask her for something close to me. I'm afraid I'll be called by her to take off eight pieces before I finish speaking.
Hu Mao said, "The way is to die, people are alive, who asked you to ask her directly."
Zhao Xin was a little uncertain about the meaning of his words and said curiously, "So what are you going to do?"
"It's simple." Hu Mao smiled, looked up and down with some bad intentions. He smiled and said, "I heard that your boy's skills have suddenly become very powerful now. Could it be taught by some master? I don't care about this. Anyway, you are so good at it. It's not a matter to steal a small thing in Ranfu.
Zhao Xin was shocked and said, "You don't want me to run to Ranfu to steal in broad daylight, but to steal Ran Min's personal belongings!"
Hu Mao nodded and pretended to say, "This is what I mean."
"I won't go." Zhao Xintou wants the same as a rattle drum. How could he agree to such a ridiculous request?
Hu Mao pleaded softly for a long time, and then he was coerced and lured, but Zhao Xin refused to let go, but shook his head and refused to agree. Finally, Hu Mao said angrily, "How can you do this, brother? Looking at my brother, I don't even pull me in deep water and fire. It's too unkind."
Zhao Xin said, "What kind of water and fire are you? It's obviously a good face. How can you be such a cheating brother? Let me die as a wrongdoer.
"In a word, do you help or not?"
"If you don't help, you won't help if you say anything."
The fox's teeth are itchy, but he has no choice but to say, "Okay, forget it if you don't help. I'll go to my family. I think they also know some wonderful empty-handed people who can fly eaves and walls."
Zhao Xin was stunned and quickly objected; "You are crazy. You dare to do this kind of thing. If the thief is caught and confessed to you, once the matter is big, how can you let your father end? Who else knows whether the person you are looking for is reliable or not, in case you are a forgetful person, in case Ran Min's name is ruined...
Hu Mao hummed, "Now I can't care so much. I haven't suffered a loss since I was a child. It's absolutely impossible for me to admit defeat and apologize."
Zhao Xin was speechless. After thinking for a long time, he was still worried about Ran Min's safety. He had no choice but to nod and agree, "Well, I'm afraid of you. No one can stop you when you are crazy. If I don't help you, who knows what trouble you will happen."
Hu Mao smiled proudly and said, "It's still a brother, you are righteous. I remember this love. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water."
Zhao Xin glanced at him angrily and said, "Stop, stop. Don't say nice words. I just hope that you can think less of me when you do such immoral things in the future. Remember not to say you know me when you are ashamed."
Hu Mao laughed again and didn't say much.
The two came to the vicinity of Ranfu together. Naturally, they dared not enter the gate. They walked around far away and found a remote and quiet forest in the backyard.
Looking at the high wall, Hu Mao looked at Zhao Xin hesitantly and said, "Can you jump over so high?"
Zhao Xin looked at the corner of the wall and estimated that it was about two feet high. If he tried his best to jump, he could barely climb up. He nodded and said, "I'll try it."
Then he took a few steps back and took a deep breath. He jumped up and rubbed against the wall. Unexpectedly, the wall was not slippery, and there was almost no force. As soon as it slipped, it almost fell down. I quickly reached out and climbed to the top of the wall, and then jumped on the wall.
Hu Mao under the wall was stunned and quickly clapped his hands. Zhao was proud of his confidence. He was about to say something when he heard a short and harsh scream under him. He quickly looked back. The woman under the wall was covering her mouth and looked at Zhao Xin at the wall with a frightened face. The baskets scattered on the ground were full of petals.
Obviously, the maid in Ran's mansion was collecting petals here, but she happened to be hit by Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin's face suddenly changed greatly, and he secretly shouted bad luck in his heart. Before he came to his senses, Hu Mao outside the courtyard had turned around and ran away, and disappeared three or two times.
Zhao Xin secretly scolded Hu Mao for not being righteous. He looked at the stunned woman in front of him and jumped off the wall to knock her unconscious so as not to let her call someone. Just as she was about to take action, the woman suddenly let go of her hand covering her mouth. Instead, there was some joy in her eyes and blurted out; "Ms. Zhao."
Zhao Xin was stunned, his hand stopped in mid-air, hesitated, and said tentatively in a low voice: "Do you know me?"
The maidservant looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and her round face is like a silver plate. Although her appearance is not beautiful, she is more playful and cute. At this time, she obviously recognized Zhao Xin, and the tension and fear in her heart had disappeared. Hearing the words, she smiled sweetly and said, " Mr. Zhao's memory is really bad. I don't even remember Xiao Cui. I gave you tea when you came to the house that day."
Zhao Xin said "Oh", made a sudden realization, and hurriedly said, "It turned out to be Sister Xiaocui. I'm sorry, I just feel familiar with it. I can't remember the name for a moment. Damn it."
But I thought in my heart why there were more than a dozen maids I had seen when I came to Ranfu. How could I remember them all? Moreover, at that time, I was focused on things, and I was not in the mood to pay attention to what the name of the maidservant who made tea looked like.
The little Cui covered her mouth and smiled; "It's not tight, Mr. Zhao, your future is bright, and your military affairs are busy. How can you remember these little things?"
After saying that, he said happily, "In the past few months, the prince's reputation has spread all over Handan City, especially the two paragraphs of rushing to Loufan and Zhiqi Shiyi, which is even more amazing. Even the young lady can't help asking me to inquire about you."
Zhao Xin was stunned and said with some disbelief, "Really?"
