Chapter 265 Over and over again, whoever deceives and steals
Leng Xuanrong and Dou Haowei looked at each other, and Dou Haowei suddenly came to his senses and suddenly felt that his cheeks were a little hot. He smiled awkwardly at Xuanrong, and then lowered his head and strode forward. At this time, a team of light cavalry lieutenants of the criminal department came from afar on horseback. Dou Haowei hesitated and hurriedly turned back to pull Leng Xuanrong to hide by the roadside.
The light riding captains walked majestically through this wide road in military uniform. Leng Xuanrong looked at their departure and only felt a chill rising from the back of their neck.
But just as they gradually left, Leng Xuanrong's eyes suddenly fell on a corner of a street not far away. In the slightly dark corner, a man was standing there staring straight at Leng Xuanrong.
Leng Xuanrong was about to look at it, but he heard Dou Haowei beside him ask softly, "What's wrong, Miss Xuanrong?"
Leng Xuanrong turned around in shock. When she looked back at the dark place again, she found that the man had left.
The man's figure Leng Xuanrong seems to be a little familiar, but Leng Xuanrong has no idea who that person is. Maybe I misread it? Leng Xuanrong thought to himself.
Dou Haowei took Leng Xuanrong around the imperial city and did see a lot of interesting things, but Leng Xuanrong was not interested. Finally, she asked Dou Haowei to go to a place with her.
The two took a soft sedan chair and passed through half of the imperial city. The sedan chair finally stopped outside a courtyard in the west of the city. Dou Haowei came out of the sedan chair and knew where it was.
The courtyard looks from the outside that it used to be a very elegant place, but it has been abandoned for many years and has been a little desolate. A pair of closed red paint doors are mottled, and I don't know when the plaque on it was taken down by anyone.
Leng Xuanrong stood in front of the door, which she should have been familiar with, but now seemed very strange, and her heart was surprisingly calm.
"Mr. Leng's official position is still there, and this house has probably been vacant like this." Dou Haowei sighed a little. Standing here, he could more or less see some things right and wrong.
Leng Xuanrong stepped forward and pushed the two doors hard. Unexpectedly, the door was pushed by her and really opened. Leng Xuanrong looked back at Dou Haowei. Dou Haowei walked to her, nodded, walked in front of Leng Xuanrong and entered the yard.
There are still a few piles of ashes left in the courtyard, and it seems that someone has stayed here. Dou Haowei squatted down and reached close to the ashes, and suddenly frowned. He stood up and took Leng Xuanrong's arm and said in a low voice, "It seems that someone has always been here."
As soon as he finished his words, there was a sound from the door in the distance.
Dou Haowei asked Leng Xuanrong to stand still. He carefully walked in the direction of the sound. Before he got there, he saw a figure rushing out of the door and running desperately towards the gate.
"Hight!"
Leng Xuanrong shouted loudly.
The figure hesitated for a moment and stopped.
At this time, Dou Haowei saw clearly that it turned out to be a ragged half-year-old child.
The child turned his head to look at Dou Haowei and Leng Xuanrong, looked around, suddenly knelt down, kowtowed two heads at them, and then shouted, "I didn't steal anything!" There is nothing here! I'm just looking for a shelter from the wind and rain!"
Dou Haowei sighed and walked to the child, squatted down and looked carefully. He found that this was a boy. The boy's face was covered with wounds, and the wounds were deep and shallow. It seemed that he had been injured not long ago. When he looked at Dou Haowei, his eyes were full of hostility. Although he knelt on the ground, he seemed to get up and bite Dou Haowei at any time.
"Son, get up." Dou Haowei took out the bag from his arms, found some scattered silver and scattered copper money and handed it to the boy, telling him, "Wash your body quickly, and then find a doctor to give you some medicine."
The boy looked at Dou Haowei warily and Leng Xuanrong in the distance. He carefully took the silver money and got up and ran away.
Dou Haowei watched the child leave and couldn't help sighing, "At the feet of the emperor, there are still people who can't eat and clothes..."
"With the money given by Mr. Haowei, the child can have a few full meals." Leng Xuanrong walked over slowly and looked down to see the purse in Dou Haowei's hand. Peach blossoms, which she embroidered for him.
Dou Haowei put away his purse, looked up at the yard, and whispered to Leng Xuanrong, "How about I ask someone to clean and repair this house?"
Leng Xuanrong's heart moved, but a wry smile appeared on her face. She shook her head and said, "When Brother Yan Liang comes back..."
Before she finished saying this, Dou Haowei suddenly put his hands on Leng Xuanrong's shoulder and said in a low voice eagerly, "Xuanrong, don't go!"
Leng Xuanrong looked up at Dou Haowei, and her eyes were full of bitterness.
Dou Haowei locked his eyebrows. He could see the bitterness in Leng Xuanrong's eyes. He guessed that she must be confused by what she blurted out. Indeed, what qualifications does he have to let her stay? The two of them are just friends. Friends can help friends, but they can't force friends to do something for themselves. What's more, his request is simply unreasonable. What if she stays?
"Sorry..." Dou Haowei let go of his hand, smiled bitterly, and said in a voice that he couldn't even hear himself, "I shouldn't... make a claim..."
"Mr. Haowei..." Leng Xuanrong held back tears, but his voice was still a little trembling. She reached out and grabbed Dou Haowei's sleeve, and the hand trembled, making his sleeve tremble.
"Repair this house... It's troublesome for Mr. Haowei..."
I don't know how much effort it took Leng Xuanrong to say that sentence. After saying it, her body seemed to have been emptied.
Dou Haowei suddenly opened his eyes. He turned around and looked at Leng Xuanrong, but only saw her bowing her head deeply. But he heard that sentence clearly. Is she going to stay? She is going to stay!
"Good...good!"
Dou Haowei didn't even want to hide his happy mood, which continued until the two returned to Xiaohan Palace.
Du Yilin looked at Dou Haowei, who giggled as soon as he came back, and seemed to be more irritable. He got up and put his arms around Dou Haowei's neck and said viciously in his ear, "Seeing the chaos coming, how dare you be so happy for a little girl here?"
Dou Haowei was a little breathless by Du Yilin. He hurriedly pulled Du Yilin's arm and begged for mercy, "It has nothing to do with whether the chaos is going or not. Why does the prince have to be angry with others... Let go... Let go quickly!"
Du Yilin let go of his arm, snorted, and said, "Isn't it reasonable for me to be angry with her? Does the death of He Lijing's daughter really have nothing to do with her cold Xuanrong?
Dou Haowei frowned when he heard the words and said angrily, "Your Majesty, are you too predebious with Miss Xuanrong? Didn't you see her self-blaming at the palace banquet? In the past few days, she has lost a lot of weight. At the same time, she has to be afraid of Mr. Zeng, and at the same time, she has to blame herself for things that can't be blamed on her at all. How about her as a girl's family? No wonder she has withdrawn. Even if these things are put on you and me, we may not be able to hold on.
"Hmm." Du Yilin seemed to be much more honest as if he was shocked by Dou Haowei's angry appearance. He snorted coldly and suddenly picked up the corners of his mouth and laughed. "No matter how frightened Leng Xuanrong is now, when it is done in the future, you can tell her in person that she has made great contributions to all this. I, Du Yilin, am not a ruthless person. If I am guilty, I will be punished. If I have merit, I will naturally be rewarded. With that, Du Yilin came to Dou Haowei's side, patted him on the shoulder and praised, " Haowei, it's hard for you this time. But you probably don't know that even if you don't open your mouth, I won't let Leng Xuanrong leave.
Dou Haowei was shocked when he heard the words, "Why?"
Du Yilin smiled and said, "Do you think I left her in the house because of my good intentions? She is useful, and that Zeng Yanliang will also come in handy.
Dou Haowei saw that Du Yilin's face became unpredictable again, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. From the moment he knew Du Yilin, he knew that the king of Xiaohan was a person who could not do anything for nothing. If the other party was not Leng Xuanrong, maybe he would tell Dou Haowei what he wanted to do, but he knew that Dou Haowei could not keep secrets from Leng Xuanrong, so as long as he had more things related to Leng Xuanrong, he Don't say a word. Dou Haowei didn't want to ask, because even if he knew what Du Yilin was going to do, he couldn't stop it at all. Du Yilin's fierce reputation is not spread in vain. He is definitely not a person who will be soft because of what the people around him say. Instead of struggling when Du Yilin made a decision, it's better to adapt to things and try to find a way.
Dou Haowei had tried to fight against Du Yilin once before. Although it was not a fiasco, it was also because he brought Du Yilin what he urgently needed.
The friendship is true, but the friendship can't get anything Du Yilin wants. Dou Haowei knows this best.
As for Leng Xuanrong's safety, Dou Haowei felt that he could still use some extraordinary means when necessary. He can bring Du Yilin what he urgently needs once and several more times. Dou Haowei still has this kind of confidence.
Du Yilin stared at Dou Haowei and suddenly laughed loudly.
"Hou Wei, do you know that when you think about things, your expression will become more terrible than others. It's more terrible than me and Mr. Wu. I guess even Mr. Zhang at the top of Zixia may not be able to match it.
Dou Haowei was stunned when he heard the words. He reached out and touched his cheek and felt a little puzzled.
Du Yilin took the opportunity to stretch out his hands and touch Dou Haowei's cheeks, and then smiled more happily.
At this moment, a personal guard suddenly rushed to the door and shouted, "Your Majesty, Wuming County Emergency Report!"
