I'm a bully in troubled times

The shop clerk's face froze: "Yes, it's the little one who made a mistake." He smiled and went out.

Downstairs, the waiter who was scolded by Du Zhuo was no longer as polite to Qi Ranming as before, but his tone was still good: "Guest officer, Du Shao said that he doesn't know you, he is busy and has no time to see you, please leave."

Qi Ranming frowned slightly, not looking for trouble, but just worried about how to see the queen.

Seeing Qi Ranming frowning, the waiter in the shop thought that Qi Ranming was so downcast that he had nowhere to go, but he himself was just a waiter in the shop and could do nothing, so he persuaded him: "Young Master Du is busy celebrating his new concubine's birthday. Come back when Du Shao is free, he often comes to our place."

Qi Ranming nodded slightly, said thank you, and left.

Since Du Zhuo can't be asked to take him there, there are other ways.After all, this country is not controlled by the queen alone. Isn't the successor supported by the courtiers the second son?The throne is hanging in the air, and people's hearts are uneasy. Everyone wants to catch the other's handle.

Therefore, after Qi Ranming withdrew from Yingyuan Building, he went straight to the governor of Linzi, and reported to the governor that someone was throwing a big banquet during the national funeral, drinking and having fun.

Linzi Mansion Yin is a loyal Second Young Master faction, when he heard about this, he was overjoyed, and directly brought people to Yingyuanlou to take Du Zhuo.

The officers and soldiers in purple robes and gold armor lined up in two rows, starting from the gate of Fu Yin, looking towards Yingyuan Building aggressively, and unrelated people on the street retreated one by one, seeing that the direction of the government was Yingyuan Building, all Guess something big happened.

These little people don't really care about who can sit on the throne, they only care about their own harvest this year, and they only hope that the country can settle down sooner.But dandies like Du Zhuo have always been disliked by the common people, so they all have a look of looking forward to the show.

"Get out of the way, everyone out of the way!" The leading officers and soldiers dispersed the people in front of Yingyuan Building, and they didn't have to listen carefully. When they stood in front of the gate of Yingyuan Building, they could hear the noise of frolicking from upstairs, and they were furious immediately, "Go , Capture that dandy!"

The waiter in the shop panicked when he saw this posture: "My lord, what's going on here?"

The leader pushed him away: "Didn't you see that the government is taking people?! This small shop of yours, you don't have to report it if you know it, but you even allow this kind of dude to play wantonly during the national funeral. Come here, and seal this restaurant for me too." Already!"

"My lord! Don't!" The owner of the restaurant ran out and was startled when he saw it. He knelt down with a "plop", but the officers and soldiers ignored him and rushed directly to the second floor.

The movement downstairs had already awakened Du Zhuo. He was a little panicked, but quickly calmed down. He hugged the beauty in his arms tightly, and he still had the time to comfort her with compassion: "It's okay, don't be afraid." Then he turned his head and looked out the door go.

At this time, there was only a "bang", the door was kicked open, and officers and soldiers rushed in.

"Arrest Du Zhuo and take him back! The rest of the people are tied up together!"

Du Zhuo changed his face and said: "How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you arrest me, be careful..."

"Young Master Du," the officer said, "Even if you sue the queen, we won't be afraid. Even the queen won't help you if you violate the prohibition during the national mourning... Hurry up, I'll tie you up!"

Fu Yin's people tied up the group of people who were drinking, playing, playing and singing, and tied them together with ropes, like a string of shrimps, and led them back to Fu Yin.Along the way, the common people pointed and pointed, and Du Zhuo's face turned green and pale at times due to the taunting sounds.

But here, for Qi Ranming's meritorious service in reporting, the governor wanted to give him a reward, but Qi Ranming didn't want it. The governor asked him what he wanted, and Qi Ranming said, "Wen wants to see the queen."

Fu Yin: "..."

In fact, the royal power in this era is far from being so high, and the defense of men and women is not strict, but it does not mean that the queen can see whoever wants to.

Qi Ranming said: "My lord just needs to show me the way."

Fu Yin thought, why does it sound like an assassin?

He looked Qi Ranming up and down, and felt that with Qi Ranming's face that would die at any moment, he should not have the ability to assassinate, and his brains were so open, could it be the illegitimate son of the queen who was living outside?

So he asked, "Little brother, why do you want to see the queen?"

Qi Ranming frowned and said: "It's inconvenient to say clearly, since your lord refuses to give instructions, you should tell me where the queen lives."

Sounds more like an assassin.

But if the queen really went with the late king...it would be good, Fu Yin wiped off his cold sweat secretly thinking.

"The queen naturally lives in the palace, but the late king is mourning. Recently, the queen is supposed to be watching for the late king. The late king is in the palace in the south of Linzi City. If you want to see the queen, you can go to the palace to try your luck."

"But little brother, what you're wearing..." Fu Yin hesitated to speak, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to meet the queen. If you don't rush on your way, I will order someone to make two for you."

Someone sent clothes without spending any money, and he didn't need to owe ten taels of silver like Jiang Yu. Of course Qi Ranming was happy. He just stood up, then sat back down politely, nodded reservedly and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Thinking of the dozens of taels of silver owed to Jiang Yu, Qi Ranming felt a little funny, always felt that the real Suiyang Lord was a little different from the rumors, resourceful or resourceful, but much more vivid, ten taels of clothes, fifty taels of carriage, pulling He played chess, and he still had to win a game of twelve, just like a corrupt official who fell into the eyes of money.

Jiang Yu was different from the people he met before, different from Ying Xi, and even more different from Ji Zhong.

The servant who was serving at the side had never seen Qi Ranming smile since Qi Ranming came to the prefect, and even when talking to the prefect, he was flat and expressionless, and suddenly saw him smiling at this moment, for some reason, he felt a little creepy.He always felt that this man who looked like a sick man should not be as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Qi Ranming was not in a hurry to leave, so he temporarily lived in the Fu Yin Yamen, eating and drinking for nothing every day, and even received a few pieces of tailor-made clothes.Before leaving, Fu Yin ordered someone to prepare some dry food, broken silver, etc. for him, and Qi Ranming also accepted it with a smile.

The palace where Marquis Qi stayed was called Taiheng Palace, not only the queen, but also the three sons and some court ministers had been staying here recently.Therefore, this area has been heavily guarded recently, and there are people patrolling day and night. Unrelated people are not allowed to approach. If something goes wrong before the king's spirit, it will be a joke.

Qi Ranming wandered around here for a few days, and finally figured out when the patrolling guards change their shifts, and sneaked into the palace one night.He originally wanted to go to the queen through legal channels, but the legal channels didn't seem to work, so he had to do it illegally.

The palace is not as big as the king's palace, and it is also brightly lit at night, and the defenses are very strict. Thanks to Qi Ranming's lightness skill, he was able to avoid the guards again and again without being discovered.

Qi Ranming landed on a tree and saw a maid passing by under the tree, so she fell down lightly, covered the maid's mouth from behind, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the queen?"
