The next day, before dawn, policemen from the capital came to the door quickly. Several people broke open the store door with knives, rushed in and smashed the glazed cups and ice mirrors in Chu Bingxuan's shop.

The guy in the back hall heard the noise in the front hall and hurried out to check. When he opened the curtain, he saw a mess. Even the plaque in his store was taken off and thrown on the ground. Transparent glass shards mixed with ice,? A good shop has been ruined.

The little fellow was awakened from a dream and was not fully awake yet. Seeing this tragic situation, he immediately jumped up and cursed: "Which thing without eyes? How dare you bully us, Chu Bingxuan? Do you know who our shopkeeper is?"

After the words fell, there was a sound of the sword being unsheathed, and the snow-white and cold light dazzled the boy's eyes. The boy was shocked, and he came to his senses. Looking over in fear, he realized that the person standing in front of him was not a bandit , but several officials.

The first arrester aimed his blade at the young man, and his voice was cold: "Someone reported to the officials that your shopkeeper is Donghu Xizuo,? We were ordered to come and arrest you. If you cover up, it will be regarded as the same crime. Tell me, where is your shopkeeper hiding?" ?”

The little fellow's knees softened and he knelt down on the ground, tremblingly, he said, "Chu's shopkeeper is at Liuliyao... No, our shopkeeper's is not meticulous work at all, sir? Are you making a mistake?"

"Where is the glass kiln?" The official ignored the boy's intentions and pushed the blade forward an inch.

The cold blade was attached to the skin, the boy's face was ashen, and his tongue was tied: "On... Zhuangzi three miles outside the city..."

The officer smiled coldly when he heard the words, and chopped off the wooden table in the store with a knife. Seeing the boy limp into a ball, he picked up the boy and said, "Take us to catch that Donghu Xizuo!"

After leaving the shop, several horses wearing black bridles were pacing anxiously. The young man almost knelt on the ground again when he saw the battle.

Officials riding horses and sabers, these people are actually under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei in the capital!

The boy was tied and followed the horse. The horse was not running fast. The boy trotted behind the horse all the way to the glass-burning kiln. The boy with a sad face, the craftsmen were shocked, and the two old craftsmen hurried to shout Chuci.

Chu Ci was drawing a sketch, and the old craftsman panicked as soon as he finished writing, "Young Master Chu, the official sent Wang Daren under the pressure of the shop, but what did that boy Wang Daren do?"

"How do you dress up as an official?" Chu Ci started to draw a stroke and asked casually.

"Riding a horse, wearing a black coat with a saber, and a hat with a red border, Wang Daren is running with his hands tied and pulling the horse's tail. He is almost at the door!"

Chu Ci paused, he sighed, put down his pen and straightened his clothes, and said to the old craftsman, "It seems that the officials under Jin Yiwei should be here for me. Uncle Liu, help me send a message to Master Zhongli, Let him wait patiently for a few days, and tell him not to worry, Big Brother Zhou. Here in the glass kiln, please take care of Uncle Liu and your apprentice, and double the wages when I come back."

"What, the official sent for you?" Nahan, an old craftsman, was about to ask clearly, when he saw the official and Wang Daren broke into the door, and the leading official glanced at him: "Which one is Chu Ci?"

"It's me." Chu Ci frowned, "Please let the guys in my shop go, I'll go with you."

The first arrester was taken aback when he saw Ci's appearance clearly. The young man in front of him was dignified and powerful, and his eyes were indifferent and calm. This appearance and temperament were obviously not ordinary people.

The aggressive leader of the police immediately restrained himself: "Are you the boss of Chu Bingxuan?"

"Yes."

Chu Ci walked to the middle of the two arrests, pushed away the knife on the waiter's neck, and patted Wang Daren on the shoulder, "I'll clean the shop later, it's fine. Remember to ask the young master to feed me according to my feeding rules." Way to feed the baby birds in the shop."

"Yes, shopkeeper Chu!" The tired and frightened young man on the way saw Chu Ci's calm expression, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had taken a reassurance. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, nodded and said, "I will take care of the shop, and You will take good care of the young master, you can go there with peace of mind as the shopkeeper!"

Chu Ci: "..."

Well, the very clever boy is scared stupid now.

Being wanted was a common occurrence for Chu Ci before crossing, and he experienced this kind of thing after crossing. When he came to the capital and opened Chu Bingxuan, Chu Ci was ready to be targeted by those who wanted to, so today's encounter It was not a surprise to him, and there was no disturbance in his heart.

Chu Ci is really too calm, the arresters in the capital are all fine men, seeing Chu Ci's calm demeanor different from ordinary people, the leading arrester felt a little bit in his heart, thinking that this young man who is not angry and self-important in front of him may not be a man The nobles they can't afford.

Thinking in this way, there was a kindness on his face, and the leader of the policeman clasped his fists at Chu Ci: "Because of the official business, there are many offenses, and the shopkeeper Chu's cooperation will save you trouble, please!"

Chu Ci nodded, went out and chose a horse, got on the horse, and said to the arresters, "Let's go."

The head of the policeman squinted at Chu Ci's movement of riding a horse—vigorous and agile, and unconsciously exuded a forceful aura. The leader of the policeman became more and more sure that Chu Ci was not an ordinary person, and he didn't say much when he was robbed of his horse. Smiling, he chose a subordinate and shared a ride with him, then he said loudly: "Let's go!"

A few horses went away and raised a cloud of dust, and a group of craftsmen at the gate of the glass kiln looked at Chu Ci's leaving back and looked at each other in blank dismay. If someone who didn't know the truth saw this situation, they would think that a group of arresters were escorting Chu Ci on his way.

The policemen also felt that something was wrong, especially the young policeman who shared the ride with his boss.

The little policeman looked at Chu Ci who was riding a horse in the middle of the tall and straight figure, then looked down at the hands on his waist, and couldn't help but twitched: "Boss, this is to escort Donghu Xizuo to the prison for torture, we are not escorts. Human bodyguard, right?"

They are underlings of Jinyiwei, and they usually only escort the nobles of the capital, but now the person being escorted on the boss's horse seems to be the prisoner they want to arrest?

Hearing this, the head of the policeman raised his hand and knocked on the head of the little policeman: "This is the border of the capital. If you go out and walk three steps, you may meet a member of the court. If we want to save our lives, we must learn to know people. Look, that person knows Thinking about his demeanor towards us, does he look like our master? Tsk, his eyes are bright and his mind is clear, this is someone we can't afford to offend! Even if the master condemns him to death, there is no Before execution, we should be polite."

"I see, no wonder you are the boss, you have been taught!" The little policeman seemed to be enlightened, and now he looked at the man riding a horse with a straight posture like a drawn sword, and he felt that there was something deeply wrong with that man. Measuring atmosphere.

Chu Ci was brought into the yamen, and the young policeman whispered to his colleagues for a while, instilling the boss's officialdom experience into them, so a group of policemen surrounded Chu Ci with a subtle respect.

The little catcher interrogated with a smile: "Where is the young master's family name, how old is it, and what is his last name? What did you do for a living?"

Seeing the bright smiling face of the young catcher, Chu Ci frowned puzzledly: "Xia Chu Ci, 19 years old. He was originally a hunter. When I was rescued by a kind nobleman, I followed the nobleman’s caravan to the capital and opened Chu Bingxuan to sell some gadgets to make ends meet.”

Several arresters looked at each other after hearing the words: "Blood Clothes Gang? It's no coincidence that the villains who were all arrested by the Nanling Prefecture not long ago were the Blood Clothes Gang? Because of their meritorious service in arresting the robbers, all the prefects of Nanling were rewarded. Mr. Chu was able to escape from those rogues, it shows that the nobleman he met is really extraordinary."

The head of the fast arrest was wondering what kind of nobleman Chu Ci had encountered, who could actually raise a boy from a hunter without anger and prestige. He must be someone they couldn't afford to provoke.The Chu Bingxuan opened by Chu Ci must belong to that big man.

Thinking about how I smashed Chu Bingxuan...

The head of the police only felt a chill from under his feet. It was all because the informant told him that he was a countryman with no relatives and no family history, so he acted without any scruples. If he really angered this young man and the nobles behind him , I'm afraid I won't be able to fall!

The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more frightened the chief arrester was. Seeing Chu Ci frowning, he hurriedly moved the chair and put it away shyly: "Mr. Chu is tired, please sit down quickly. You are thirsty and hungry, how about some tea and snacks?"

Chu Ci raised his head to look at the arrester, his brows furrowed even tighter. The inexplicable enthusiasm of these arresters came from some unknown reason, and looking at the other party's eager eyes, Chu Ci could only stay away but politely said: "White water is fine."

The chief of the police hurriedly boiled boiled water with his own hands and delivered it to Chu Ci respectfully: "Please use it!"

Chu Ci: "..."

I don't know why there is a feeling of drinking tea with a broken head. Is it possible that Wang Daren's casual words are about to come true?

Chu Ci didn't want to waste time either, he put the cup in hand on the table, frowned and said: "I know you are all sent by the prince, don't be a fool now, I know exactly what your master wants, take me Go see him."

"Uh..." The chief catcher got stuck, Chu Ci was right, the one who delivered the order was the shopkeeper of the shop under the crown prince's name, and the prince ordered them to use tricks to make Chu Ci take the initiative to hand over the secret recipes for ice making and glazed cups, not to mention Let Chuci realize that the person behind it is the prince, so as not to damage the reputation of the royal family.

But now that Chu Ci revealed the truth, the head of the police suddenly found it difficult to do so.

Chu Ci is not afraid of the crown prince at all, thinking that the nobleman behind him is really different, so it seems that the relationship is very important, and the arrester did not dare to make decisions rashly, so he said cautiously: "Mr. Chu, sit down and eat some snacks and fruits. Check it out, I'm afraid the person who reported the case has lost his head, I will report back to Young Master when I have news."

"Alright." Chu Ci nodded.

The head of the arrest hurriedly went to find the informant to report, and the other arrests followed the instructions of their boss, and put out the snacks and fruits that were served for distinguished guests in the government office and placed them in front of Chu Ci. He stepped forward and said, "Young Master Chu, do you want to drink some wine?"

"...No, these snacks and fruits are enough." Chu Ci became more and more confused about what was going on with these arresters, and after a moment of silence, he took a piece of snacks and tasted it.

Half an hour later, in a mansion, Huangfu Rui, who was eating in a mansion, heard the report from his subordinates, put down his chopsticks and frowned and said, "A foreigner who was robbed by pirates has a mysterious nobleman behind him? It's from Nanling. No..."

He pondered for a while, and several candidates flashed through his mind. The people in Nanling and Huangcheng were all calculating old foxes. He wanted to win them over, but some of those people refused directly, and some had ambiguous attitudes. It was indeed sent by those old foxes, and it would be a hindrance for him to strike without finding out.

The information he could find about the owner of Chu Bingxuan was not necessarily accurate.If the other party finds out that he is looking for Chu Bingxuan's real owner and offends those old foxes, those old-fashioned people will not stand by him.

Huangfurui thought for a while and said: "Send the order, don't investigate Chu Bingxuan again. Go and bring that person to Tong's residence, and let Tong Yubai treat him nicely. Tell Tong Yubai, let him say that he was the one who reported the crime and arrested Donghu."

"This... If Mr. Tong doesn't agree..." Huangfu Rui's confidant looked embarrassed. Tong Yubai was Huangfu Rui's male favorite, or the kind of special favorite, so he might not obey his orders.

Seeing the hesitation of his subordinates, Huangfu Rui paused and said: "If he is petty and says he wants to see me, you can pass on my words to him as it is - don't waste his innate exquisite thoughts, like a eloquent tongue. He If I can win over that foreigner and Chu Bingxuan's real master, I will naturally reward you a lot."
