The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again
Chapter 22 Fortunately, an old friend came to the rescue in time
Shen Jingli hurriedly greeted him: "Didn't you just tell me to put my things down and leave? I'll leave right now, without stopping."
The officer pointed at a man in green official uniform in the crowd and asked, "Do you see that man?"
Shen Jingli: "I don't think I'm blind yet."
A fat man with dark skin was looking at Shen Jingli with a smile, and a pretty girl was following behind him.
"I wanted to let you go, but you don't know how to cherish the opportunity. This is Mr. Qiu from the Street Division of our Patrol Office. Please note, this is the iron-faced and impartial Mr. Qiu."
Qiu Zhi walked over, and Guan Cheng bowed his head and saluted, "Master Qiu, there is a madman here who set up a stall illegally. He has been caught red-handed and has been captured by me."
Qiu Zhi nodded with satisfaction. He finally had a job. He had been in office for so long that he was bored to death. Now he could finally have a chance to show his talents.
He cleared his throat and said, "Take him to the Inspection Office and I will try him personally." Qiu Zhi pretended to be serious, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Shen Jingli was a little flustered, and looked at Song Zhu for help. Song Zhu stepped forward and said, "If you want to arrest someone, arrest me. It was my idea to set up the stall, and it has nothing to do with my son."
Qiu Zhi laughed: "Do you think you can escape?"
"come together."
"How much is your goose...for?"
Shen Jingli was surprised. Could it be that Lord Qiu wanted to buy it?
"How about two hundred wen?" The original price of a goose should be five hundred wen. If you are caught selling things without a license, you must have a good relationship with the urban management.
"So cheap? You...are very suspicious!"
Is the motive for selling at a low price suspicious?
"Did you get it through legitimate channels? Or did you get it in secret?"
"Absolutely serious."
Qiu Zhi touched his non-existent beard and turned to look at Guan Cheng.
"Take these two men back to the Patrol House, along with the stolen goods. Be careful, as they must be kept alive."
Shen Jingli was frightened when he heard this: "I, a commoner, must not go to the Inspection Office!"
If we were to investigate the origins of these chickens, ducks, and geese, we would certainly find out what's going on.
Qiu Zhi: "Why? You don't follow the city rules. I have the right to investigate you."
The little girl whispered in Qiu Zhi's ear, "Uncle, he must be a good man."
"Xiao Qiuyu, don't judge a person by appearance. Don't judge him by his appearance just because he looks good."
Wang Qiuyu nodded.
Qiu Zhi continued to whisper to Wang Qiuyu: "This kind of pretty boy is the best at deceiving people's hearts and bodies, and also defrauding their money. Don't be seduced by his harmless face."
"Thank you for the reminder, uncle. I'll take a look."
"You're welcome, and don't look at it too much. Remember, listen to others' advice and eat a full meal."
Seeing the two of them talking to each other, Shen Jingli interrupted their conversation: "Sir... I am not suitable to go to the Inspection Office."
The emperor was captured by the government? This would be the headline of Dayuan! By then, all the civil and military officials would be able to drown him with a single spit.
If Qin Yejue knew that he had picked up the palace medal and was captured by the government, would he kill her in anger?
Qiu Zhi was very confused when he heard this: "Who are you?"
"Um... I'm a man of the underworld..."
"I specialize in cracking down on those who have no regard for the law."
Guan Chengli was about to step forward to arrest him, but Shen Jingli said in panic: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I... I have someone above me."
Guan Cheng looked at Lord Qiu meaningfully.
"Someone, right?"
"Yes! Powerful and influential."
"Very good, arrest him immediately." Lord Qiu was not afraid. Someone said in public that he had a background. He wanted to see who that person was.
"Eh?"
"Lord Qiu, long time no see." A gentle male voice sounded, sparking discussions around.
Looking towards the source of the sound, I saw a man walking slowly towards me. He was dressed in white, with an upright figure and gentle eyes. He was a very bookish young man.
"Oh, it's Master Gu. I greet you, Master Gu."
The only son of the Minister of Rites was a humble and polite person with a good reputation. Lord Qiu did not dare to be careless and bowed his head to greet him.
Gu Sichen smiled faintly: "This young master is not a bad person. The things he sold were also rewards from the Gu Mansion. He was in a hurry and forgot to go through the formalities. Can he complete the formalities tomorrow?"
Qiu Zhi said, "I see. I am sorry for being rude. It's alright. You can handle it whenever you want, Mr. Gu."
"Thank you, Master Qiu..."
"No need to thank me. I will not investigate today's incident any further. If you want to set up a stall to do business, you must complete all the formalities. I hope Mr. Gu will forgive me."
"Thank you, Master Qiu. I am not an unreasonable person."
"I will retire first."
Lord Qiu took Guan Cheng and Wang Qiuyu away, and Shen Jingli finally felt relieved.
Shen Jingli walked up to Songzhu and whispered, "Who is this guy? He's quite famous."
Shochiku: "Are you playing amnesia?"
"I know him?"
“There is a long history.”
Song Zhu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Gu Sichen, "Do you have time to meet at Yunxiang Qinglou?"
Seeing that Lord Qiu and others from the Inspection Office had left, Shen Jingli was overjoyed. This person had helped him solve a big problem.
"Yes, yes...will you pay?"
The ticket to Yunxiangqinglou costs ten taels, and the conservative cost to enter is one hundred taels. I dare not go there casually, after all, I can only earn six hundred taels at most tonight.
Gu Sichen chuckled: "Don't worry, I'll treat you."
Yunxiangqing Tower was not far away. Shen Jingli and Song Zhu followed behind Gu Sichen.
When Turtle Gong saw that it was Gu Sichen, he hurried forward and said, "Mr. Gu, what a rare guest. Please come upstairs."
When he saw Shen Jingli, he was slightly stunned. Why was this young man here? And he was carrying a goose.
"I didn't bring any money today. Just take your badge to the housekeeper to get it yourself." Mr. Gui lowered his head and took it with both hands.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
"Tonight, we are just having dinner, no need to arrange anything else."
"Yes, please follow me."
……
Shen Jingli saw the delicious dishes being served one after another, and his stomach couldn't help but growl...
Damn it, I didn’t have enough for dinner, now I’m embarrassed…
"Your Majesty can eat first if you are hungry."
Hearing the word "Emperor", Shen Jingli put down his chopsticks, his mouth twitching a little. He had never seen this person in the court, so why did he know his identity? ?
He pulled Songzhu and walked to the corner, whispering, "Who is this person? How could he recognize me? Is it too late to jump out the window and run away now?"
Songzhu glanced out the window. If he jumped from the third floor, he would be crippled if not dead. "You jump yourself. I want to live a few more decades."
Shen Jingli kicked Songzhu and said, "Can you show some loyalty? We are exposed, and we don't know the other party's identity. Is he trying to kidnap me?"
Songzhu shook his head. "Don't worry. He is the son of the Minister of Rites, Mr. Gu. He doesn't talk much and won't gossip around. He certainly won't kidnap you."
"Minister Gu's son?"
"You are amazing, Your Majesty. You are pretending very well."
"what?"
"I really don't know you?"
Shen Jingli blinked and tried hard to recall, but it was of no avail. Anyway, she had not seen this young man since she came here.
"Didn't I tell you that after the fall, my memory became confused and I couldn't remember many things."
"Okay, I'll help you recall it."
The emperor forgot about Gu Sichen?
Songzhu was half-believing and half-doubting, thinking that the emperor was probably just sad and didn't want to talk about it, so he pretended to have amnesia.
"At the Jiuzhou banquet, when you saw Master Gu from afar, your eyes sparkled and you stared at him the whole time, drooling. Have you forgotten everything?"
"Am I so obscene?"
“The scene was even more obscene.”
