Chapter 160 A few days after Huang Yuankui arrived in Beijing
Peeling off skin and bones is not enough to alleviate the resentment in my heart!
If he offered kind words, even flattery, but failed to pay him a lot of money, then Lan Chen might really accept it.
But the two of them clearly acted like a prank, tossing Fan Lanchen, and finally threw him on the street, regardless of his life or death.
It’s a shame that this news got out. The dignified little Lord Xuzhou degenerated into an alcoholic on his first night in the capital, sleeping on the road!
But on the way to his rampage, something unexpected happened.
At the corner of the street, Lan Chen almost bumped into a figure, but thanks to his quick reaction, he managed to avoid it by stepping sideways in time.
But when he turned back, the man had already reacted, stopped, and was looking at Lan Chen with an unhappy expression.
But after taking a closer look, the displeasure went away, leaving only a faint doubt, and a feeling of hating that iron cannot become steel.
"Why are you here? You still smell of alcohol."
"Master Huang..." Lan Chen smiled helplessly and subconsciously dodge his eyes. He didn't meet the person he was supposed to meet, but he happened to meet Huang Yuankui. He had no choice but to tell the whole story.
After hearing this, Huang Yuankui shook his head helplessly, "If I had known this, I would have invited you to come to the capital with me that day, so that I would not encounter unkind people. Those two people... are really not human beings. What will happen in the future?"
Don’t interact with them too much, you wouldn’t be so out of line in Xuzhou, but you just...sigh!"
Lan Chen just nodded and didn't say much.
He knew very well that Huang Yuankui was a strict and serious person, with a sense of perseverance and rigidity in his heart. To put it bluntly, he was just a stubborn old man. Although he was a protective person, he sometimes took too much control.
Like Xu Zhu and the other two, he also knew that it was just some kind of prank between friends, so he took advantage of his drunkenness to do things that he would not normally dare to do.
No, he also had a money bag embedded in his belt. This was not his, it must have belonged to both of them. He had sold him out emotionally, and while helping them count the money, he collected some for himself.
If Mr. Deng knew about this, I'm afraid he wouldn't blame him at all. Instead, he would drag Lan Chen over, start drinking directly, wait for an opportunity to drink, take off his pants, and hang him upside down at the city gate...
It seems pretty good when you think about it.
Lan Chen decided again that he had to continue drinking this wine, otherwise there would be no chance of revenge against the two of them.
"Come with me. Tongfu Inn is far away, and the mansion is nearby. You might as well go to my place to change clothes."
Lan Chen was stunned for a moment, and wanted to politely refuse, but Huang Yuankui didn't tolerate him and walked away on his own, so he had to follow him obediently.
Several times on the road, Lan Chen wanted to ask him about Liang Ziwen.
But Huang Yuankui seemed to speed up his pace intentionally or unintentionally, and did not give Lan Chen a chance to ask. In his opinion, this haste was not entirely because he felt humiliated, but more like "every wall has ears."
Arriving directly at the mansion, the small room is more like a small inn, but the decoration inside has a rather small and exquisite feel.
"Here we are, this is the residence of my old friend. He often travels far away. When I come to the capital, I basically stay here. Old Chen, take the young master to wash up and change clothes!"
"Yes, Mr. Huang."
As they passed each other, Huang Yuankui whispered in Lan Chen's ear, "Even if you are here, don't say much. We will talk in detail in the study."
As if to avoid Old Chen, after saying this, Huang Yuankui also walked directly to the study.
Lan Chen followed Lao Chen without changing his expression. After washing himself and finally getting rid of the stains on his body, he put on some old clothes and walked towards the study.
"Here you come? First drink the hot rice to sober up. Next to it is hot tea to warm your stomach."
"Thank you, Mr. Huang."
"Hey, don't talk about this. It's sobering up. I asked the servant to prepare lunch. Let's eat earlier."
"This..." Lan Chen was confused. Is he so enthusiastic?
Huang Yuankui saw that he was confused and explained helplessly, "No matter how reluctant you are, you already have the pass to take the exam. If you don't go, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Don't you even know when the literary test will start?"
"I don't know..."
"Before noon! Get to Gongyuan before noon!"
In his words and deeds, there is nothing but hatred of iron that cannot be made into steel.
Hearing this, Lan Chen lowered his head in shame, his eyes twinkling as if he was determined to tear the two people's mouths apart.
"Thank you, Mr. Huang, for waking me up. I will be at Gongyuan before noon."
"Okay, it's much closer from here. You should rest here." After saying that, Huang Yuankui looked around for a moment, as if he was wary of something, and finally whispered subconsciously.
"You have to be careful. Those people just don't know that you also want to save Liang Ziwen. If they know, then..."
Immediately, Huang Yuankui also told about his recent situation in the capital.
He arrived in Beijing three days earlier than Lan Chen.
Although it only took three days, Huang Yuankui had a good grasp of the situation.
Liang Ziwen is indeed in the Guizhi of Xianfengsuo.
But where exactly he is being held remains to be discovered.
During this period, he also came into contact with the deputy commander of Guizhi, Prince Shu, who was the one who used miraculous powers to erase Liang Ziwen's existence.
Perhaps he was caught off guard, and a veteran like King Shu, who was good at torture, actually showed his flaws.
Although he said it several times, his subconscious actions betrayed him in the end.
It's just that because there is no concrete evidence, King Shu cannot reveal his true colors.
But Huang Yuankui's purpose is also here.
After coming to Beijing, he did not go to Guizhi to question him immediately. Instead, he secretly contacted a group of old friends and trustworthy people.
After making enough preparations, he went up to Guizhi to pretend to 'visit'. From King Shu's 'panic', Huang Yuankui had already locked his target.
In the end, Huang Yuankui also left directly, and then asked his old friends to secretly pay attention to King Shu's every move, and report anything to Huang Yuankui whenever something was wrong, so as to find out where Liang Ziwen was hiding.
This move attacks the heart, exposing its flaws, and then finds its seven inches and delivers a heavy blow.
However, after using this trick, he also showed the other party in disguise that he was aware of his conspiracy. Not only would the other party be on guard, but the other party would also take advantage of the situation and secretly supervise him.
No, since yesterday, Huang Yuankui has felt the looming surveillance eyes around him.
Injuring the enemy a thousand times will cost you eight hundred. Now it’s time to see which one will show its ‘fox tail’.
"That old man, King Shu, is very shrewd. In two days, there were eleven strange things. I think he is on guard now. Ha." Huang Yuankui sneered, "But so what, although he is a local snake here, but You would never think that I would come prepared!"
"In a few days, the truth will be revealed. First rescue Liang Ziwen, and then kill the old man! Damn it, I dare to touch my people!"
After hearing this, Lan Chen also bowed to Huang Yuankui respectfully and said in a sincere tone, "The word "help" sounds a bit unreasonable. I can only say, if there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to tell me."
"Hey. Don't talk about this. You, your real ability is to perform well in the literary test and the martial arts test. I will be here until the matter is settled. If you want to come to me, just come to me. Just take it easy, I said No housekeeper, Lao Chen, who is he from?"
"good!"
At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and Old Chen hurriedly said, "Mr. Huang! Someone is looking for you!"
"who!"
"Yes...it's the Sixth Prince!"
"Hurry!" Huang Yuankui looked nervous and glanced at Lan Chen. He asked him to come in quickly while thinking about whether to hide Lan Chen.
But, it's too late.
He is here.
The door slowly opened, and the Sixth Prince walked straight in.
