Second minister and thief

After being kicked out of the palace, Xiao Cen walked down Guique Street in a daze, recalling the scenery of yesterday, his heart was even more desolate, so that he could hardly restrain the urge to hit someone.He strayed into the bustling East Market, and found that people did not forget to discuss with the stall owners during their shopping breaks. Only then did he learn that when he entered the palace, the incident had spread throughout the streets and alleys.Xiao Cen's eyes turned even redder with anger for a moment, and his expression was terribly ferocious.He suddenly reached out and pulled a man who was picking out a sachet and asked, "How did you know this?!"

The man was taken aback, and when he turned his head and found that it was General Xiao, his cowardice became even more cowardly, and he even started to stutter, "Xiao, General Xiao... Cao, Cao Min... ...."

"..." Xiao Cen took a deep breath, and managed to suppress the violent pressure in his heart.He showed a kind smile, and said slowly to him, "You don't need to be afraid. I'll ask you, you just need to answer."

"Yes... General, may I ask..."

"How did you find out about this?"

"W-what's the matter?" The man's expression was blank, his eyes were very wandering, and he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know if he was frightened.

Xiao Cen was in a hurry, so he simply grabbed his neck, led him to a deserted alley, and asked him again seriously.

This time he learned from that population that the news that he was about to get married had indeed spread around since the opening of the market. As for the source of the spread, no one knew.Later Xiao Cen asked him about his impression of Lord Chu, but he never expected that the man would keep shaking his head after hearing this, and no matter how hard he asked, he couldn't utter a word.

Xiao Cen had no choice but to comfort him non-stop, "Don't be afraid, only you and I know what happened today, and no third person will know about it."

"..."

Seeing that the man still didn't answer, and was already limp against the wall and was about to faint, he let go of him and asked another question, "Where is Lord Chu's mansion located?"

"West, west..."

There are both east and west markets in pottery, and naturally there are also east and west workshops. Generally speaking, the closer the place is to Miyagi, the higher the status of the people who live there.Although Chu Linqiu's rank is not very high, far from the level of a prime minister, but he is favored, so it is not surprising that he has a big mansion there.

However, when he really stood in front of the closed red gate, he was still amazed at the magnificence of the mansion, and he was amazed in his heart, thinking to himself, this is entirely the regulation of a first-rank official, who gave him the courage?

Naturally, he is the Son of Heaven.

It seems that Chu Linqiu's weight in the emperor's heart is really extraordinary.Xiao Cen sneered, suddenly kicked hard on the gate, then took three steps back, waiting quietly.

After a while, there was only a "squeak", and the door was pushed open from the inside.The figure of an old man slowly appeared.

"Old man, I'm looking for Master Chu."

"My master is not feeling well, the guests should come back tomorrow." After saying that, the old man couldn't help but close the door, putting on an unreasonable look.

"I'm not feeling well? Are you afraid to see people?! Old man, if you don't see this man surnamed Chu today, I will stay here and not leave." Most of them are rich and powerful, so they deliberately raised the volume and made the matter deliberately loud.He wanted to see how Chu Linqiu would end up then.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the passers-by in Chinese clothes stopped at Zujiao and whispered.They all cast their eyes on the plaque engraved with "Chu Mansion" in unanimous agreement, and sneered from time to time.There were even those who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, pointed at Xiao Cen, and whispered to his companions, "This Chu man is really capable, and soon even a hero like General Xiao will be able to hold him by his side." down."

They thought that the volume of their voices was extremely low and they would not be noticed by others, but unexpectedly Xiao Cen's hearing was excellent, and his face immediately turned black as if dripping ink.He suddenly turned around, stared at the man, sneered after a long while, turned his head slightly to the old man and said, "We are about to get married, is Master Chu ashamed to see my future husband? That's right, that's right, Xiao A certain one should strictly abide by the Daqi etiquette. Excuse me."

Everyone gasped in unison.
