Placid Chang'an

Chapter 137 Absconding

"Come on, go and control Liang Fang!"

After walking a few steps, he said again: "Qi Lin, you protect these two children, and don't allow anyone to hurt them at all."

Qi Lin took the order and said yes, Su Cen hurried back, looked at the searching eyes of the people on both sides, gradually slowed down, sighed, then turned around and said: "If you catch someone, don't say anything, just send him to the prince's bedroom." gone."

When Su Cen came to find him, Li Shi was feeding the fish.

There is a large fish pond at the back of the bedroom, where several peacock medakas are kept. Their petite bodies drag their big blue tails, and they are not afraid of people. They chase after Li Shi's fingertips for fish food.

Qi Lin is not exaggerating when he said that not a single fly can fly in the bedroom. There are people guarding every corner of the entrance and exit, and even guards on the trees under the corridor. But these people are hiding in the dark, and you can’t see them unless you look carefully. Coming out, it didn't disturb King Ning's interest in watching flowers and fish at all.

Seeing people coming, Li Shi asked: "It's noisy, what happened?"

"That person is dead," Su Cen said, "Liang Fang killed him."

Li Shi paused in his hands, and the small fish he attracted opened their mouths to watch, and after a while, he sprinkled the fish food again, "Is the evidence convincing?"

"Someone saw it." Su Cen pursed her lips, "Huzi and Erya saw Liang Fang and Song Fan together, and killed the yamen who escorted the official money."

Li Shi frowned, threw down the fish food in his hand, took out his handkerchief to wipe his hands, and said: "The evidence is solid, then catch it."

"It has already been caught."

Li Shi smiled, wiped his hands and said, "Then why are you looking for me?"

Su Cen took the handkerchief from Li Shi's hand, helped him carefully wipe his palms and fingers clean, and smiled at him: "Didn't the lord say he wants to make decisions for me?"

"Master Su is very capable, do you still need me to call the shots?"

Su Cen blushed slightly: "I didn't know he was yours before."

In front of Li Shi, facing people's pressing every step of the way, he was a bit overstepped.

Li Shi raised his eyebrows: "Why is it mine?"

"Didn't you send him to Xuzhou? You are kind to him, so he is naturally yours."

Li Shi snorted softly: "I can't talk about that bad old man."

Su Cen: "..."

He had completely forgotten that Prince Ning had a peculiar position on his person, if he wanted to become his person, he had to get into his bed first, and the rest was just a matter of convenience.

Li Shi lifted Su Cen's jaw with his hand, "What do you want me to decide for you?"

The afternoon was just right, the cicadas were singing in the distance, and the fish were swaying their tails. Su Cen frowned and smiled in a confused manner, "I'm in charge of getting people to confess, and you're in charge of calming down the people of Xuzhou."

Li Shi frowned as if thinking about it, tightened his hands, and raised his chin, "Then I have to inspect the goods first."

One hand had already touched his waist, but he was interrupted by an ignorant servant who reported that someone had something urgent to see Mr. Su.

Li Shi frowned, with a sense that he could not be interrupted, "Let him wait."

However, Su Cen had already taken the opportunity to escape, straightened his clothes, and gave him a slightly complaining look, "I told you it's urgent."

Clearing his throat, he said to the servant: "Let someone come in."

Seeing his lord nodding, he dared to back down. After a while, an official came in, but he didn't see the person they were supposed to arrest.

Su Cen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The officer said to the point: "Liang Fang ran away."

Su Cen asked repeatedly: "How did he get the news? How did he run away? Which door did he run away from?"

The officer asked three times and didn't know, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand. When I went to arrest them, they disappeared, and the younger ones don't know why they disappeared."

Su Cen paced back and forth twice, "In such a short period of time, he can't run very far. He sealed off the gates of the palace. People may not have escaped yet. We will send more people to search each palace and courtyard one by one to ensure the safety of the people. ” After thinking for a while, he said, “Don’t make a big fuss, conduct a secret investigation, just say that the prince’s royal cat can’t be found, and don’t disturb the common people.”

The official sent orders to retreat.

Turning around, he was facing Li Shi with a meaningful smile, "Where did this king get the royal cat?"

Master Su decided to sacrifice his life for the community: "Meow."

As dusk fell, the officials who went out to look for someone came back in groups, but as expected, they found nothing.From when Liang Fang entered the palace to when Su Cen sent someone to arrest him, it was only a stick of incense. Su Cen couldn't figure out why he disappeared inexplicably.And when Liang Fang left, Huzi and Erya hadn't come out yet, so there was no evidence that Liang Fang was the murderer, so how did he know that Su Cen was going to arrest him?

Things here have not been sorted out yet, someone came over and said: Er Ya passed out.

When Su Cen rushed over, many people were already gathered in a small room. The doctor was checking the pulse, Hu Zi followed behind, poking his head, and Uncle Cao sat beside him smoking a smoky cigarette.

"What's going on?" Su Cen asked.

Everyone wanted to salute when they saw Su Cen. Su Cen waved his hand to signal that there is no need to be too polite. Huzi grabbed Su Cen's sleeve and raised his tearful face: "Big Brother, Big Brother, you must save Erya! She , she... If she dies, I won't have a wife..."

Su Cen took the man into his arms, "It's okay, let's listen to what the doctor has to say."

The doctor withdrew his hands, stood up and saluted Su Cen, and replied: "It's nothing serious, I was frightened, just rest for two days and I'll be fine."

Everyone's hearts fell to the ground.

Su Cen poked around on Huzi's round head, "Don't worry, your daughter-in-law is still here. I'll have someone cook some medicine and bring it over. Drink it and you'll be fine."

Just when he turned around, he found that Huzi was still holding him tightly, and he didn't intend to let go.Su Cen looked over, only to see Huzi look at Erya in a bit of embarrassment, then at Second Uncle Cao, and finally said cautiously to Su Cen, "Big brother, can we sleep with you tonight?"

Su Cen didn't make a sound yet, only heard Uncle Cao's cigarette stick knocking heavily on the wall, "Nonsense! My lord has so many things to do every day, so I don't have the time to pay attention to you."

Huzi immediately withdrew his hand, took a few steps back and did not dare to make a sound.

Su Cen smiled gently: "It's okay, you can go if you want, it's just a matter of adding quilts."

"The two children are just scared." Second Uncle Cao gave Huzi a look, then turned to Su Cen and said, "I'll be with them tonight, adults don't have to worry about it."

Su Cen looked at Hu Zi, then at Second Uncle Cao, seeing that Hu Zi lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, so he nodded, "That's a hard work for you."

At night, the two of them fell asleep together. Su Cen's hands and feet became weak from the tossing and raining before going to bed. Just as he felt a little sleepy, he suddenly opened his eyes in the dark.

"Not quite right."

Prince Ning, who was awakened, frowned and pulled him into his arms, "Sleep."

Su Cen lost all sleepiness and sat up straight: "I always feel that Huzi's eyes have something to tell me."

Li Shi narrowed his eyes, already in a state of getting angry, but Su Cen didn't notice it at all, and while putting on his clothes and laying down on the bed, he rushed to the door and ordered: "Let Qi Lin go and bring the two children to my room."

He turned his head and pecked lightly on Li Shi's lips: "You sleep by yourself, I have something to do." He hurriedly left.

Li Shi stared at the half-empty bed in a daze for a while, but finally he laughed angrily. He was so brave to let the dignified Prince Ning guard the empty room alone.

When Su Cen hurried back to his room, Qi Lin had already brought the man over.

Erya was still unconscious and was placed on the bed, Huzi stood by and never left.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Su Cen patted the man on the shoulder, and after a pause, he realized that Hu Zi was shaking slightly.
