Pick up an abandoned child and overwhelm the world

The ones who set up the small stall seem to be a couple.

As soon as Cheng Ning made a sound, they seemed to have noticed it. At this moment, the woman who should be the proprietress was busy and smiled at Cheng Ning and replied: "Hey, okay, young master, please wait first!"

"Well, don't worry!" Cheng Ning replied in no hurry at all. After finishing speaking, Cheng Ning turned his head slightly and looked in the direction he came. Higher than here, I can just see him. At this moment, I seem to see Cheng Ning looking at him. He waved his hand and smiled. It seemed that he took out a bag of dry tobacco and lit it. Cheng Ning also smiled, and finally confirmed that Uncle Kui I didn't look at myself anymore, and then I looked towards the end of the street, over there...

"Hey, is this young master from out of town?" At this moment, a woman's enthusiastic voice sounded beside Cheng Ning, and at the same time put a bowl of jelly with several ice cubes, watermelon, raisins, and crushed peanuts on it. In front of Cheng Ning, he looked at Cheng Ning, and before Cheng Ning could answer, he continued on his own: "Our son here is not as delicate and tender as this young master. It's the kind of person in the south that can only be raised by water and soil, and it looks really handsome!"

People in the north are very straightforward, they can say whatever is on their mind, Cheng Ning has been here for a long time, he knows that the people here are like this, and he has gradually gotten used to it, but he still smiled awkwardly Laughing, he nodded his thanks to the proprietress, and after giving Qianliang, he smiled and praised: "The proprietress has such a good vision, the jelly is spread here, the business is really good!"

"Oh, this young master has such a sweet mouth!" The proprietress naturally smiled even more happily, and while wiping the table, she also wanted to say a few more words to a handsome young master like Cheng Ning: "That is Naturally, we give a lot of money to this stall every year. Many people are envious, but there is no way. This is because our ancestors have been doing business here, so every year they only dare to collect rent and dare not accept us. stall!"

"They?" Cheng Ning was puzzled: "Who are they? This stall... still needs rent?" Cheng Ning was really surprised. After Cheng Wei went to Xu Xun's place, he didn't leave the door without leaving the door. In order to pass the boring days, I took Wen Jing to go out with my servants. When did I hear that a small stall that was just set up on the street was going to be rented?

Who collects the rent?

Why rent?

Why……

"It's not used in other places, but not here..." The proprietress didn't seem very convinced about this, but she still pointed to the other direction where Cheng Ning was sitting and said, "Young Master, have you seen that mansion? This is the center of Zhusui City, and the range of several streets in this area belongs to the rent collection area of ​​the City Lord's Mansion. It is said that it is for our stability and for the order of management to not be chaotic. Hey, young master, you are a foreigner, you don't understand! "The proprietress didn't seem to want to continue talking. At this moment, she also heard the man and her husband yelling at her dissatisfied. The proprietress was also very angry, so she turned her head and cursed a few times, and finally said to Cheng Ning: " Young master, eat slowly, if it is not enough to ask me to add sugar water for you, I will go to work first!"

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble the boss!" Cheng Ning hurriedly said politely.

But Cheng Ning was holding the spoon, but his eyes fell on the end of this bustling street over there, on that magnificent mansion, that is the City Lord's Mansion, that is... Occupying the Fengshui treasure land of Mrs. Liu's family, and possibly murdering her. The city lord's mansion of the head of the Liu family?

The afternoon sun was also warm, but Cheng Ning felt that just sitting here and looking at the mansion felt a chill, as if the sun couldn't shine into the mansion anymore!

Mouth after mouthful of jelly jelly, Cheng Ning looked over there silently, finally halfway through eating jelly, Cheng Ning couldn't eat any more, finally, Cheng Ning put down the spoon, stood up with a sigh of relief, turned around Stepping away from the jelly stand...

Uncle Kui has been smoking a pipe leisurely, and glances at the young master who is eating jelly at the jelly stand from time to time, but there are too many people on the street, and the young master will always be blocked by those coming and going from time to time, but After watching it a few times, Uncle Kui gradually relaxed, and occasionally looked away, and only looked at the young master after a while.

But this time, when Uncle Kui looked away, the place where the jelly noodle stand was just sitting...how was it empty?

"Young master?" Uncle Kui almost dropped the cigarette stick on the ground, and cried out in panic, standing neatly on the shaft of the carriage, ignoring the sight of passers-by, condescendingly looking for Cheng Ning's figure, but... ...The sea of ​​people is vast, and the people watching are dazzled. Where can we find people?

Uncle Kui panicked immediately, jumped off the carriage shaft and pulled the carriage towards the jelly noodle stand over there, but when he was sweating profusely, he finally made it through the crowd to the noodle jelly stand. The place has already been replaced by someone else. Uncle Kui was almost so frightened that he yelled a few words at the top of his throat. After getting no response, he immediately turned around and asked the person at the jelly stand, but... the jelly stand Many people came and went, and no one noticed the boy in the corner who hadn't seen him for a long time. In which direction did he go?

Uncle Kui just felt that the world was spinning suddenly: young master is lost, young master is lost, young master... lost? ! ! !

After a long while, he leaned on the shaft of the carriage and slowly came over, and said with a face ashen ashes: "It's over, this time it's really over, young master, this time will kill me!" Uncle Kui panicked. As he said that, he got into the carriage decisively, turned around decisively, whipped his horse's buttocks fiercely, and hurried back to Mu's house at the fastest speed.

……

On this side, Cheng Ning, who had no idea how much trouble his disappearance would cause, evaded all the way to avoid the angle that Uncle Kui would see behind him, and walked directly to the City Lord's Mansion!

The vermilion painted gate and the big golden characters of "City Lord's Mansion" are extraordinarily dazzling in the sun, and they can be seen from a long distance. Cheng Ning even wonders if they are cleaned often or every day. ?

Outside the majestic gate, several men in black, dressed in the same attire, walked back and forth with sabers around their waists... This specification, Cheng Ning felt, was comparable to some princes and nobles.

"Uh... It seems that this is indeed a prince and nobleman..." Cheng Ning stood with his hands folded, touched his chin under the eaves of a secluded corner of the street and said, then frowned and said to himself: "So... How can I meet the city lord?"

Cheng Ning pondered for a while, but he didn't come up with a good method. To be honest, he has no experience in this field, so he doesn't know what to do?

However, it's not a problem to stand stupidly. When he stood until his legs started to numb, Cheng Ning finally stood up straight, straightened his robe, looked at the people at the City Lord's Mansion, and said with a firm decision: "It doesn't matter, just come to the door directly like this, if you can't get in, you can only... oh, please tell me the name of the master..."

Having made up his mind, Cheng Ning slowly walked over there, but before he reached the mansion, Cheng Ning's arm was suddenly grabbed by someone else, and at the same time, a sharp murderous voice suddenly sounded beside him, panting heavily. :"what you up to?"

"Master, Master...???" Cheng Ning opened his eyes wide and looked at the person panting in shock, frowning, pale and panicked at the person who was pulling him, who was it not Mu Jingan?

"You still know that I'm your master?" Mu Jingan's words almost came out from between his teeth. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Cheng Ning's wrist, not giving him a chance to continue talking. He turned around and walked away, saying: "First I went back and said, I am really going to be angry if I am messing around like this!"

Cheng Ning panicked, and was too busy struggling to leave: "Master, I don't, I'm going to find..."

"Shut up!" Mu Jingan interrupted Cheng Ning's words by yelling in a low voice. It seemed that his voice was too sharp, which attracted curious eyes from several passers-by. Mu Jingan immediately shut up and lowered his head. Naturally, he covered his face. Anyway, he is also a "famous person". If someone finds out flirting with a young man in broad daylight in Zhusui City, he will lose face as a priest: "Follow me first." go back!"

"Master..." Cheng Ning was still struggling with frowning: "Let go of me first, you don't care about this matter, I take care of it, I..."

"Are you trying to kill more people?" Mu Jingan shouted directly in a low voice.

"..." Cheng Ning suddenly opened his eyes wide...

"What place do you think this is? Let me tell you, this is a place far away from the Emperor Tiangao. This is not your Luanyang City. This is the north, the northern border. Do you think human life is very valuable here? Let me tell you, It is easier for a powerful person to crush a person here than to crush an ant!" Mu Jinqian said coldly, making the scorching sun seem to lose its temperature, looking at the sluggish young man, Mu Jinqian Jin Gan knew that what he said was overturning everything he had seen in his heart, but Mu Jinqian still wanted to say: "Ziqian, Yuxuan didn't ask you to come to me because he wanted me to take good care of you. He also knows that you have been living in an invisible cage for 16 years. Everything you know is not what you see on the surface. There are many dark things in this world. Even if you don’t believe what I say, Don’t you believe what you have experienced yourself? Have you seen less in the past six months? You and Wei’er have gone through so many hardships along the way, don’t you believe what I say?”

"——" Cheng Ning bit his lips hard, until his lips turned blue and white, and he didn't let go.

"Let's go back with the master. This is within the scope of the city lord's mansion. It's not good for my identity to be discovered here for a long time!" Mu Jingan said in a low voice!

After all, Cheng Ning silently nodded in agreement, and finally looked back at the City Lord's Mansion behind him. Cheng Ning finally let Mu Jingan drag him away, and saw Uncle Kui waiting anxiously in another secluded street, The latter burst into tears when he saw Mu Jingan pulling Cheng Ning back. He pulled Cheng Ning and hurriedly asked him whether he was injured or bullied, which made Cheng Ning feel apologetic. , Only then did I know that when I acted willfully, I caused others to worry.

In the carriage, on the way back, Cheng Ning was depressed and didn't say much. Mu Jingan wanted to say a lot, but seeing Cheng Ning like this, how could he say it?

When they arrived at Mu's house, Cheng Ning got out of the car dejectedly and saw Wen Jing greeted him with tears, stretched out his hand to hold Cheng Ning and was about to cry, but Wen Jing was too sensible, didn't ask anything, didn't ask anything More to say, just wiped away tears quietly, pulled Cheng Ning and said, "Young Master, haven't you had lunch yet? I made you cold salad and clear soup to cool off the heat today. Let's go and eat, don't starve yourself!"

After enduring the bitterness all the way, he still couldn't help it. Cheng Ning knew that he really did something wrong this time. The fault was that he shouldn't be so presumptuous, so unscrupulous. Along the way, Cheng Ning thought carefully that the master didn't seem like someone who could stand by and watch these things, but the master did this, why?

Can't fight, powerless!

As the priest with the highest status in Zhui Suicheng, there is nothing he can do. What can he do as a newcomer?

Moreover, now that Cheng Ning calmed down and thought about it carefully, it was very strange that those people from the yamen came to him yesterday. Cheng Ning is not a person who does not understand the law. Out with weapons?

If this is the northern border, there are rules here, but today Cheng Ning went to the yamen in person, but the people in the yamen turned a blind eye to him. Even the yamen servant who looked for him yesterday disappeared, and a new yamen servant came. If there is no problem, Cheng Ning will probably feel that these 16 years have been wasted.

……

"Wen Jing, I'm sorry to make you worry!" On a midsummer night, Cheng Ning and Wen Jing sat under the eaves, holding a piece of watermelon in each hand, looking at the sky full of stars, Cheng Ning suddenly said, "I... It's too willful to make you all worry..."

Wen Jing, who was eating the watermelon, paused, put down the watermelon, turned to look at Cheng Ning, and said, "Master, you are serious, but actually Wen Jing just wants to tell you, you can tell Wen Jing anything you want to do. Jing won't stop you like other people, because the young master is Wen Jing's master, so no matter what the young master does, Wen Jing will always stand by your side, and Wen Jing will always support the young master, so Wen Jing is really worried , Worried about whether the young master will get hurt? Will he take care of himself? Young master, you have to know that without you, there would be no Wenjing today. If something happens to you, what will you ask Wenjing to do? So, if there is a next time, Wen Jing hopes that you can trust me a little bit, at least, don't leave me behind, and let you face unknown dangers alone?"

In just a few days, Wen Jing has become so mature, which surprised Cheng Ning. Is this the same Wen Jing who was timid and had no confidence in speaking?
