Chapter 42 Who is the city and the old acquaintance
Chapter 42 Who the city is, old acquaintances meet
Today, Zeng Yanliang's blood boils when he fights side by side with these black guards. Naturally, he could see that each of these black guards was a hero, and when they were against the enemy together, they seemed to have some feelings of mutual affection.
Now, even if Zeng Yanliang stays around these people all the time, he seems to be able to feel infinite power.
It's just...
The surprised expression on Zeng Yanliang's face gradually disappeared. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, most of the brothers when I was the magistrate died in the robbery of the official bank. After that, Liang Qiurong, the county magistrate, added many charges to his brothers. Now I am the only one who survived the incident. I know that at that time I'm the only one in the situation. If I don't complain to my brothers, I'm afraid it's difficult for them to feel at ease under the nine springs..."
In the night, Zeng Yanliang's voice was thick and loud.
"Although I don't know what's inside these things, as long as I can avenge my brothers, I won't hesitate even if I'm crushed..."
Since the robbery of Guanyin, Zeng Yanliang has been hiding. After Leng Xuanrong asked him to come to Fengquanling, he felt a long-lost loss. When they are with the county government officials, they talk and laugh every day, and sometimes they fight, but they don't hurt their feelings.
Nowadays, most of those people have died in Fengquanling, and Zeng Yanliang does not want to avenge them all the time.
Zeng Yanliang frowned and looked at Du Yilin sitting in the car and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, as long as you can make those dead brothers sink the grievances, Zeng Yanliang will listen to the prince's dispatch and have no hesitation."
Du Yilin laughed loudly after listening to Zeng Yanliang's words.
"Hahaha...good! Bloody and righteous!"
Du Yilin put down the curtains of the car, turned his head and said to Leng Xuanrong, "Let him follow my camp first." The robber still needs to be arrested. It's best to let him go.
Leng Xuanrong is full of gratitude. In this way, Brother Yan Liang at least doesn't have to hide so hard.
Waiting for the carriage to arrive at the gate of Keyan County, Leng Xuanrong secretly looked out through the cracks in the window and saw a bright light. Many people stood on both sides of the road with torches to welcome the team respectfully.
Although so many people are waiting here, only the sound of carriages and horses can be heard in their ears.
Leng Xuanrong knew that it was a big deal for the prince to come to this small Nayan County in person. Liang Qiurong, the county magistrate, must have come out to welcome him as soon as they got the news. It was only because Du Yilin sent a sentence that no one was seen that they were so quiet.
The team entered the city, and the head of the guard came to the carriage and asked, "Your Majesty, Liang Qiurong, the county magistrate, invited the prince to stay in the county government's private house."
Du Yilin whispered with a blank face, "Find someone to lead the way. Let's go to Dou Haowei."
Leng Xuanrong couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the name Dou Haowei coming from Du Yilin.
Then she realized that Mr. Dou was well-known, and it was not surprising that he knew the prince.
It's just that I'm still in the prince's carriage. If I go to see Mr. Dou, it's bound to take a lot of time.
Although he thought so, Leng Xuanrong did not dare to say anything at this time. She had to quickly begin to figure out how to deal with it after seeing Mr. Dou for a while.
The carriage went all the way, and the people holding torches followed all the way. Du Yilin didn't say anything, and none of them dared to go straight to bed like this. Du Yilin picked up the curtain of the car and looked back, frowned and ordered coldly, "No one is allowed to follow."
After this sentence went on, officials from Quyan County, including Liang Qiurong, the county magistrate, and those with faces dared not follow any further. They stood still with a pale face and looked at the Wang's team slowly away.
Someone led this team straight to Mr. Dou's dyeing and dust study. When they arrived at the door of the study, they only saw the study closed the door.
The head of the guard suddenly thought that he had not sent anyone to inform him. He thought that some famous people in Nayan County would come out to welcome Wang Jia, but he did not expect that only the person the prince wanted to meet seemed to have no news at all.
At this point, the head of the guard had to bravely go to the side of the carriage and report, "Your Majesty, we have arrived. It's just... no one seems to inform this..."
Du Yilin not only did not get angry when he heard the words, but also laughed cheerfully.
He got up and pushed the door and walked out of the carriage. When the guards saw that the prince came out, they also hurriedly got off the horse and stood on both sides.
Leng Xuanrong also hurriedly followed Du Yilin out of the carriage. She quietly hid on the edge of the carriage and tried not to attract attention.
Du Yilin walked slowly to the dark door, looked up at the plaque on the door, and said with a smile, "Dindust study? I've never seen anyone who complains so much."
With that, Du Yilin tapped the copper ring on the door twice with a folding fan in his hand.
Waited for a moment, as soon as the dark door opened, the old man with white hair leaned out half of his body from inside with an angry face.
He saw so many people coming outside and seemed to be shocked.
"You...you are..."
The old man looked up and down at Du Yilin standing in front of him and asked.
At this time, the head of the guard took a step forward and said to the old man, "The prince is here. Why don't you open the door to welcome him!"
Du Yilin smiled and waved his hand to the head of the guard, and then said to the old man, "Old man, please tell Dou Haowei that his old friend has come to visit him."
"Prince? Old friend?" The old man rubbed his eyes and looked at Du Yilin's eyes and muttered, "This is in the middle of the night... Alas... What kind of people does the prince know..."
The head of the guard stared at the old man's words, but before he could attack, the old man had closed the door and went back.
Du Yilin didn't have a temper and stood in front of the door and waited.
After a while, he heard footsteps in the courtyard, and then as soon as the dark gate opened, Mr. Dou quickly ran out of it.
Leng Xuanrong stood in the distance and could see clearly. Mr. Dou was wearing loose hair, wearing only snow-white trousers, and seemed to have casually pedalled a pair of shoes on his feet. Unlike this embarrassed look, his face actually smiled extremely brightly.
"Your Majesty! Why did you come here? Hahaha..."
Du Yilin's feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away seems to have dissipated a lot when Mr. Dou appeared. He shook his folding fan and looked at Mr. Dou with a smile and said, "Can late-night visit disturb Brother Haowei's dream?"
Mr. Dou laughed loudly, "It's disturbing, but the prince came, and what's the overnight dream? Hurry up, please go to the cold house and drink a cup of hot tea.
Du Yilin nodded and said to the people behind him, "Come in, too. The carriages and horses were brought to the yard. We will settle down here tonight."
Mr. Dou was stunned when he heard the words, but these people followed Du Yilin to the yard without his consent or not.
Du Yilin pulled Mr. Dou, who was at a loss, and walked under the eaves. After looking back at the black guards getting the horses and the gorgeous cart into the yard, he said to Mr. Dou in a low voice, "Hao Wei, this time I came to Nayan County to do business. You have to help me."
Mr. Dou frowned and looked at Du Yilin, and also lowered his voice and said, "You have always done business. How often have I not helped you?"
Du Yilin smiled lightly. He raised his hand and patted Mr. Dou on the shoulder, then walked to the front of the carriage, asked the driver to open the door and said to inside, "Miss Leng, come out."
Mr. Dou was stunned when he heard Du Yilin call a cold girl. When he saw Leng Xuanrong coming out of the carriage, his surprise was beyond words.
When Leng Xuanrong saw Mr. Dou's appearance, she suddenly felt an indescribable distress. I don't know how Mr. Dou will react after he says those things for a while. If Mr. Dou thinks that what happened before is that I am using him, it will be irreparable...
Du Yilin did not know the relationship between Leng Xuanrong and Mr. Dou. He took Leng Xuanrong to Mr. Dou and introduced, "This is the daughter of Leng Chengqi, the former military secretary. Do you remember the Leng Caizi who came out in the first year of Xuande?"
Mr. Dou stared at Leng Xuanrong and stammered for a long time, "Xuanrong...girl...are you Mr. Leng's daughter?"
Du Yilin found that the two had known each other for a long time when he heard Mr. Dou's name for Leng Xuanrong. He said no more and turned his head to look at Leng Xuanrong.
Leng Xuanrong said to Mr. Dou with some embarrassment, "Mr. Dou, my father and I have escaped here. My father is a fugitive officer seized by the court. The reason is really difficult to explain for a moment... It's really helpless that I didn't say anything to you. Please forgive me..."
When Mr. Dou heard this, he suddenly realized.
He also knew something about the disturbance in the court two years ago, and he also heard that Mr. Leng abandoned his official and then disappeared. But he never thought that he would hide in this small Yanyan County with his daughter. He didn't expect that this Xuanrong girl was after the talented man.
No wonder I have always felt that Miss Xuanrong exudes a special breath. This must have a lot to do with her father's teaching.
Mr. Dou was stunned for a while. When he came to his senses, he found that Leng Xuanrong was wearing a men's shirt and his face seemed to be pale.
"Ah! Don't stand here, just sit in the room!"
Mr. Dou gave Leng Xuanrong and Du Yilin to the house. A waiter came to serve tea, and the three of them sat around the table.
Leng Xuanrong sat next to these two people, and she was even more nervous than she was in the carriage just now. Mr. Dou seemed to be still full of doubts, but the prince Du Yilin looked very relaxed.
"Hao Wei, I don't know how long I will stay this time. Can you make room for me to stay for a few nights?"
Mr. Dou frowned and asked, "If the prince comes here, the county magistrate won't even arrange a place to live, will he?"
Du Yilin smiled and said, "What? I just want to rely on you, can't I?"
Mr. Dou sneered when he heard the words. He shook his head and whispered, "The prince is in my study. I can't ask for it."
