Chapter 357 The old friend seeks to see
The guard Zhufeng who was sitting by the side thought for a mont, then complained in a low voice with disdain: "Second Lord, I think the news about the third prince crying for the people was released by the third prince himself, so shaless. Build montum for yourself."
Xiao Junlin glanced at the third prince who was dealing with the common people not far away, and joked inexplicably: "This third prince is not easy to deal with."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Junlin blew on the hot air on the teacup, and took a sip of tea leisurely, as if the commotion in the inn had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Junlin leisurely got up and left the inn when the dishes on the table were finished, but saw a guard running towards him in a hurry.
The guard raised his hand to cover his face and whispered in his ear: "Second Lord, the eldest son has co to Wanshou County."
The "eldest son" ntioned by the guards naturally refers to Xiao Junji, the eldest son of the Xiao family's palace.
Xiao Junlin's expression changed suddenly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is my elder brother now?"
The guard looked embarrassed, lowered his head tremblingly and confessed: "Second Master, forgive , our people are lost. But judging from the direction that Shizi is going, I guess it is going to the county governnt."
"County governnt office?" Xiao Junlin's eyes were ruthless, and a look of sarcasm appeared on his face.
His eldest brother, who had been missing for more than ten years, suddenly ran back to the Xiao family's palace. It is said that he had an affair with the third son of Pri Minister Pei in the capital.
Now, when his eldest brother ca to Wanshou County, he ran to the county governnt office. Could it be that he couldn't wait to go to Mr. Pei, his big backer, to talk about old feelings?
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
In front of the gate of the county yan, a handso and dignified man in brocade clothes handed over the greeting card with both hands and said: "Please present it to the county magistrate."
The yan servant looked at people with his nostrils, and didn't go to accept the greeting card, and said arrogantly: "Our county magistrate is busy, how can it be seen by just anyone?"
The guard next to the gentleman in brocade clothes beca serious, and his eyes suddenly beca fierce.
The yan servant is also a hard stubble, without any fear, he stared at the guard and said: "Why, do you still want to make trouble in front of the governnt yan gate?!"
Jinyi Langjun raised his hand to block the guard behind him, and winked at the servant on the other side.
The servant imdiately grabbed the silver key and put it in the hands of Mr. Jin Yi.
Jinyi Langjun took the silver box and stuffed it into the hands of the yan servant. He smiled kindly and said, "I am an old friend with your county magistrate. Please help , brother."
The yan servant shook the silver box in his hand, it was quite heavy, estimated to be about two taels.
Only then did he show a little bit of satisfaction, and said arrogantly: "Seeing that it is so difficult for you, I will help you. However, I can say my ugly words first, and our county magistrate is very busy. I may not have ti to read it after it has passed, and I may not see you after reading it."
Jinyi Langjun put his hand in the direction of the servant, and moved his fingers.
The servant understood, and imdiately grabbed the silver coin from the purse.
But this ti, Mr. Jinyi brought the money bag directly.
The servant was stunned, his face full of shock and sullenness.
Jin Yi Langjun is calm.
He put the entire money bag into the hands of the yan servant, and smiled very kindly: "Please help , brother."
The yan servant opened the money bag on the spot and took a look, good guy, this bag contains at least thirty taels of silver!
The originally arrogant face of the yan servant suddenly smiled like a flower, and his tone beca kinder, but inside and out he still had a superior attitude: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this task."
When the yan servant left, the servant whispered dissatisfiedly: "My lord, you and the county magistrate have an unusual relationship, so why look at the face of a yan servant like that?"
The guard also said angrily, "From my subordinate's point of view, this kind of greedy and arrogant idiot should be beaten up directly. If we make a noise, the county magistrate will naturally co to see us. At that ti, the county magistrate must be You are the master for the son!"
"Isn't it?" The servant frowned and complained, "Master, do you need to suffer this kind of grievance?"
The "eldest son" in the two populations is Du Heng who has already recognized the identity of the eldest son of the Xiao family, or it is appropriate to call him Xiao Junji now.
Even though the people around him were blushing with anger, Xiao Junji still looked relaxed, as if he wasn't the one who was embarrassed.
The old **** Xiao Junji raised his head and glanced at the door plaque of the county governnt office, and persuaded with a light smile: "You all stop saying a word. If Master Pei hears it later, we will make a joke."
The servant said angrily, "How can this be a joke?"
Xiao Junji turned his head and gave him a sideways glance.
The servant finally shut up resentfully after receiving the slash.
In the study of the county governnt.
Pei Yi read the dossier all morning, and her head felt a little swollen.
She pinched the bridge of her nose, planning to stand up and take a walk in the yard to exercise her muscles.
At this ti, the yan servant ca into the house and reported: "My lord, there is a Mr. Xiao Lang outside the mansion asking to see him, saying that he is an old friend of yours."
Pei Yi pondered in her heart, is the surna Xiao, or an old friend?
Could it be... Xiao Junji (Du Heng) is here?
Pei Yi thought of this, and couldn't help being surprised and delighted.
Although she was on guard against Du Heng in every possible way at the beginning, but now that she heard Du Heng's visit, she felt a sense of intimacy as if she were eting an old friend.
It feels like seeing your old classmates in elentary school after graduating from university for many years. Although the relationship may not be very good back then, there is an indescribable feeling of intimacy when we et again after many years.
Pei Yi got up and smiled and said, "Take this Mr. Xiao Lang to the eting hall quickly, and I will co later."
The yan servant respectfully responded. Looking at Pei Yi's reaction, he knew that the relationship between Xiao Langjun and their county magistrate was really good, so when he returned to the gate, his attitude changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and he was very fawning He said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, please co in."
The servant saw the yan servant's attitude of condescension and condescension, so he looked down upon him very much, and imdiately snorted coldly to show his contempt.
Although the yan servant was blindsided, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and only respectfully led Xiao Junji and his party to the eting hall.
Another compartnt.
Pei Yi explained the matter at hand, and then hurried to the eting hall.
Stepping over the threshold, she saw a gentleman already sitting in the hall, apparently that old friend Xiao Langjun who was visiting.
This man is wearing a crane cloak, a jade crown on his head, and a concentric lock-shaped erald jadeite hanging around his waist.
If it weren't for looking at that face, Pei Yi really wouldn't be able to recognize this person as Du Heng—the temperant has changed a lot from before.
However, if you think about it carefully, when you were in Linhe County, Du Heng was her servant, so there would naturally be a charming look that is unique to a servant.
Now, Du Heng is Xiao Junji, the eldest son of the Xiao family in Jinzhou, so of course his words and deeds should have the noble air that belongs only to the nobles.
