This shadow guard is kinda nice

Chapter 52 Provocation

The next day, Xiao Yichen stayed in the prefect's mansion, didn't go anywhere, and stayed by Mo Ran's side all the time, talking to him from time to time.

Mo Ran is in good spirits today, he put a pillow behind his back, "Master, you can go to work first, you don't have to stay with your subordinates all the time."

He knew that the master was very busy every day, and still took time to be with him like this, he felt guilty in his heart, if he hadn't been seriously injured this time, the master wouldn't have wasted time on him as a shadow guard.

Xiao Yichen paid attention to what he said, and only asked: "How do you feel today? Does your head still hurt?"

Mo Ran shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's much better than yesterday."

He secretly thought in his heart that he would definitely not put himself in such a mess next time. It really shouldn't make the master worry about him.

"If you want to eat something, I will let the kitchen do it."

Mo Ran didn't have much appetite, but when the master asked, he said: "It's all right, the subordinates don't choose."

Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, "Okay, you have a good rest, I'll ask someone to make you something light."

Mo Ran watched him leave, the closed door broke his sight, he leaned his head back on the bed, and closed his eyes wearily.

Xiao Yichen was sitting in one part of the kitchen, the master's hands were a little unsteady when he was shaking the pot, and I don't know what kind of crazy the prince is today, so he came to the kitchen to supervise his cooking in such a leisurely way.

Xiao Yichen propped his head on one hand, his eyes seemed to be on the master, but in reality he was worried about Mo Ran's situation, and at the same time he was thinking about the person he saw in Zhao's mansion that day.

The man didn't look very old, but he didn't look like a member of the Zhao family, and his expression was a little subtle. Most of the people present that day were more or less panicked, whether they were afraid of death or fear of power. No matter if he was afraid, he was the only one who not only didn't have it, but also faintly provoked it.

It wasn't until he was found hiding in the crowd that he lowered his head in surprise.

The intuitive person killed himself, but there is no evidence yet, so he locked up everyone. If he locked up that one person, he would not tell without evidence, and he would not be able to convince others.

But in doing so, there are actually great hidden dangers. If someone described him with embellishments, those in the capital who were watching his movements would grin again.

Thinking about it this way, he almost suspected that the man was sent by Xiao Beining...

He shook his head and smiled, secretly thinking that he had lost his mind and started thinking like this.

His smile was still on his face, and before he could take it back, the kitchen door was opened, and the butler stood at the door, leaning on his knees and gasping for breath, he said, "My lord, this old servant has found you."

Xiao Yichen stopped laughing, and he asked: "What's wrong?"

Steward Wang straightened up, and before he could catch his breath, he said, "There is a group of people at the door, clamoring to see you, and they say yes..." He hesitated for a moment, "It is said that you suppress people with power, and arrest people indiscriminately. stand up."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yichen cautiously.

There was no expression on Xiao Yichen's face, as if he had expected it long ago, he was very calm.

In this way, his conjecture just now is not a wild guess, no, the second hand came like this, and it is estimated that the capital has also spread.

He smiled indifferently, stood up, and walked outside. The housekeeper followed behind him, looking at him secretly.

With such a face that does not change, he is worthy of being a prince.

Outside the gate of the eunuch's mansion, there were many people around, all of them were excited, clamoring to see King Xuan, if the servants at the gate did not try their best to block them, they might have stepped through the threshold of the eunuch's mansion.

Ning Dao was squeezed in front of the crowd, and was almost close to his chest. He glanced at him in disgust and held his breath. He didn't know that this person hadn't washed for a few days, and the strange smell on his body made him sick.

He took a hard look back, through the small gap of the open door, he hadn't seen the figure of King Xuan yet, then he raised his head speechlessly, King Xuan, come quickly, the officials can't stop you Yes.

This group of people can't use officers and soldiers to drive them away, plus they are a group of people who don't know a single character, so it doesn't make sense, they just open their mouths and yell, but their voices are even louder.

Ning Dao's head was about to be blown up.

At this time, the door was opened with a swipe, Ning Dao didn't look back, but he was quietly relieved.

It's finally here.

It's not in vain for him to stay here for so long.

"What's the noise?"

Xiao Yichen stood inside the door, he stared at the dark faces with a fixed expression.

"We want to see King Xuan—"

"Arrest anyone."

"Is the official great?"

"Do you want to arrest whoever you want in the future?"

"Is there any king's law?"

"Let people go—"

The crowd became more and more excited, and Ning Dao was about to be deafened. He pushed the person in front of him away with one hand, and shouted, "Stand back—"

The people around were shocked by his voice, and unconsciously took two steps back.

With nothing in front of him, Ning Dao quickly ran to Xiao Yichen and stretched out his hands to protect him.

Now he has to make enough gestures in front of King Xuan, after all, King Xuan just warned him yesterday, and he interrogated a few people today, but nothing came out of the interrogation, and there is nothing he can do except to let them go.

It was the man who was with him, sent by King Xuan, who sat beside him without saying a word, making him dare not breathe, fearing that if someone was dissatisfied, he would report to King Xuan, and there would be no good results for himself. have eaten.

So now he is working very hard in front of King Xuan, trying to make him feel at ease about himself.

Xiao Yichen glanced at him coolly, Ning Dao shyly put down the arm blocking Xiao Yichen's body, and moved to the side to make room for Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen lifted his foot and stepped over the threshold, he stood still in front of the crowd, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked down at the crowd.

"This is the king, if you have something to say, just say it."

Hearing that this is King Xuan, the crowd faintly rushed forward.

"Stand still." Xiao Yichen said in a cold voice.

Everyone stopped rushing forward and looked at each other. At this moment, someone shouted: "Why arrest people?"

The crowd seemed to have found their backbone, and echoed, "The Zhao family are all good people, so why were they arrested and thrown into prison?"

Xiao Yichen looked at the way the leader jumped up and down, how much money did he charge to bring people to make trouble?

He asked back, "Since the Zhao family are all good people, since the young master of the Zhao family is dead, shouldn't the others be arrested?"

Everyone was stunned, what is the situation?They lived in a slum on the outskirts of the city, and the news was not very well-informed. They unconsciously looked at the person who took the lead in shouting earlier, and they didn't say that the young master of the Zhao family was dead?

That person ignored the suspicious gazes cast on him by others, and just looked straight at Xiao Yichen whose eyes were full of sarcasm, "The young master of the Zhao family is gone, is the prince just arresting people like this?"

"Is it possible that all the members of the Zhao family are the murderers who killed the young master of the Zhao family?"

"Besides, it was the officers and soldiers you sent to the Zhao family, my lord. If not, the young master of the Zhao family would not have died."

After hearing this, everyone was no longer puzzled, straightened their backs and looked at Xiao Yichen, wanting to ask for an explanation, yes, if it wasn't like this, how could people die?

Xiao Yichen sneered, the people behind taught him very well, they said everything that should be said and should not be said.

"Then the young master of the Zhao family has a fever, shouldn't he be sent to the outskirts of the city for centralized treatment?"

"Then why did he die?" The man said with hatred in his voice, "It's not that you officials, who don't care about the lives of the people, do things at will, and that's what killed people."

His words easily aroused the anger of the crowd. The relationship between the government and the people has been tense recently, and now they are putting the two parties on opposite sides in an attempt to provoke disputes.

"You group of officials don't have any good things."

"Yes."

The crowd started clamoring again, and a new round of conquest began.

The man turned his head and looked around, all of them were walking according to his intentions. He smiled slightly, and his face could not be described as dissatisfied.

He lives in the slums on the outskirts of the city. His father just fell ill not long ago. He drove his father out of the house. The price was being kicked out by a strange man, but compared to being infected with the strange disease, He'd still rather take that kick.

In the few days after that, he was very happy. He took the silver taels at home and went out to have a good time for a few days. Soon, the money was spent. As usual, when he returned home, he would reach out and ask his father for the silver taels.

But later, he realized that his father had already been kicked out by him, and no one gave him money.

He turned the house upside down and didn't even find a single hair.

He sat decadently in the yard, feeling a little bit regretful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have kicked the old man out. Now that he has no money, he can't do anything, and maybe even eating is a problem.

After wandering the streets for two or three days, no one would want to recruit a man who knew nothing like him. After he was dizzy from hunger, he set his sights on the money bag of the person in front of him.

He looked at it for a long time, swallowed his saliva staring at the money bag, stretched out his hand and retracted it again, he was afraid of being beaten, and repeated this twice. After his stomach rang, he finally made up his mind and reached for the money bag.

Then he yanked hard, and in the midst of exclamations, he ran away.

He tried his best to run in the cold wind, the cold wind poured into his lungs, he gasped loudly, and when he was kicked in the back, he closed his eyes.

It’s over.

Naturally, you can't run away if you are so hungry that you are dizzy and dizzy.

The man pulled his hair and said that he was really fat, followed by overwhelming fists and kicks. He hugged his head, curled up his body, and begged for mercy. After saying that he could do anything for him, the man stopped hand, and then let him bring people here.

Two days ago, he was still wandering on the street for food and clothing, but now, he is standing here, watching the people around him embrace him, excited by his words, and the majestic prince, who was questioned by him, could not speak Come on.

What a cool word this is.

Ning Dao looked sideways at Xiao Yichen, he took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "My lord, do you just let them do what they want here?"

Xiao Yichen didn't speak, just stood there like this, quietly waiting for that group of people to say enough, and then slightly curled his lips.

He looked around at the crowd and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Say it, continue, why don't you say it?"

He said to Ning Dao, "Bring a bowl of water." He raised his chin, pointing at the man who was the most jumpy in the crowd. "Are you tired? Drink some water and continue."

"My king has plenty of time to listen to you."

The man was stunned, the man taught him many coping methods, what Xiao Yichen said and what he replied, the man told him everything, and it took him more than a whole day to memorize it, if he made a mistake, he would ask Calculate the new account and the old account together.

Trembling, he memorized those words thoroughly, the man was satisfied, he was safe for the time being.Here, he speaks eloquently and with great enjoyment.

It's just that the protagonist in these words didn't give the proper reaction.

The man had expected many situations, but he didn't think of this one, and he didn't teach the man how to deal with it, so now he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.

Ning Dao was also in a daze, and he came back to himself in a daze after the butler brought a bowl of water.

"My lord?"

Xiao Yichen glanced at him, and he consciously walked in front of the man with the bowl of water in his hand.

"Give."

The man stared at the bowl of water for a while with staring eyes, and then looked at Xiao Yichen who was standing on a high place. He couldn't quite see what his expression was, but his back felt cold for no reason, and he couldn't help but took a step back.

The people behind were stepped on by him and complained loudly. He didn't care too much, turned around and ran away.

Ning Dao didn't look at the man who ran away, he smiled, "Are you tired? Why don't you go to the prefect's mansion and have a cup of hot tea?"

These people are poor, but not stupid.

Ning Dao made it clear that he had to settle accounts, so they all ran away spontaneously without anyone saying anything.

But for a moment, the front of the prefect's mansion, which was as lively as a vegetable market just now, quieted down, leaving a gray mark on the ground.

Ning Dao turned his head, just about to say that the lord is amazing, and the officials admire him, Xiao Yichen said coldly, "Send someone to watch."

Ning Dao touched his nose and agreed. He just stood there, holding a bowl of cool water, watching Xiao Yichen's figure disappear from sight.

The author has something to say: Mo Ran waited and waited in the bedroom, like a little daughter-in-law, waited for a long time but no one came back, and finally fell asleep in a daze~
