Chapter 684: Taishi's Mansion

Xin Ran shook his head: "I just learned footwork from him, and I really don't know anything else." ”

Duanmu Pond quietly laughed: "It is said that back then, when today's son was still a prince, he was a merry and talented man. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all refined, and my favorite is Keju. The most proud is also his bow skills. Boasting of being the best in the world! Once for a stunning woman, he had a bow with Mr. Beigong, and was kicked by Mr. Beigong and returned defeated, losing his wife and breaking his army. secretly hated Mr. Beigong. After ascending the throne, the first thing he did was to settle accounts with Mr. Beiguo. said that he was indiscriminate and immoral, and sent him to the border. ”

"This turtle grandson, why is he vicious?" Xin Ran scolded hatefully.

"Brother, silence!" Duanmu Pond hurriedly stopped and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't dare to talk nonsense. When someone hears you scolding the emperor, eight heads are not enough to cut off!"

"I didn't nominate the surname Dao, who knows which grandson I scolded. Xin Ran continued to scold with a smile on his face.

"If you don't nominate and don't win!" Duanmu Pond said solemnly: "This is Jingli, not a ravine and ravine far away from the emperor of the mountain." You have to be careful everywhere! If someone hears about it, it will be a great disaster! Don't dare to spray nonsense! Otherwise, if your father and they are not rescued, you will have to add another great sin! At that time, you will be a major event to destroy the Nine Clans! Do you know?!"

Xin Ran shivered. Realize that what Duanmu Pond says is the absolute truth. I had to nod my head heavily. He hated his burden too much for not being able to pass the door. For the sake of another bullshit old man, he has already ruined their Xuanyuan family. It's really hateful!

Duanmu Pond took Xin Ran and trotted all the way to his post and patrolled the street pavilion.

The patrol commander who led the team was a small captain, a bearded middle-aged man with a missing arm.

He didn't wait for Benduanmu Pond to breathe, and then reprimanded: "Boy, do you want to eat this bowl of Taiping rice? If you have eaten enough of this bowl of peaceful rice, I will send you to the border tomorrow! How many people are staring at this bowl of rice, do you know it? This is what your father bought for you with his life! Why don't you know how to cherish it? If someone stumbles on you, tomorrow you will be sent to the border pass, how can your old lady and sister live?!"

"Thank you for your teachings!" Duanmu Reservoir nodded with a smile and clenched his fists.

Xin Ran knows that being old is being a godfather. Since this little boss who is missing an arm is the godfather of Duanmu Pond, it won't really be difficult for him.

As expected, Duanmu Pond was not only not afraid, but begged with a hippie smile: "Dry old, there has been something at home recently, and I have to take a few days off......

"No!" the little leader interrupted Duanmu Pond's request, and replied with a dark face: "What's going on at your house, I still don't know?

"My father-in-law, my father-in-law, I don't know which leg and stomach I am turning in. A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron does not hit nails. Who is blind and willing to give me this long trip?"

Duanmu Pond said with a bitter face: "I really have something! I have to bow to the Zama block in Changxing District, and win or lose 2,000 yuan." This is half a year of me, do I have to participate?"

"You have to participate, you have to participate!" the little leader smiled: "Keju, this is a much bigger event than the father-in-law's legs." It's the top priority of our Wuji Kingdom! Even if Lord Taiwei is here today, he has to be granted a vacation! Give you a twenty-month vacation, and have a good time!"

"Then don't you deduct the money?" asked Duanmu Pond with a grin.

"No, if you win, you'll be rewarded with fifty dollars!" the little leader laughed.

"Xie Gan Lao!" Duanmu Pond was overjoyed and gave a gift.

"Don't thank me. Thanks to the Imperial Court!" the little leader smiled with some disdain.

Subsequently, Xin Ran came to Zhu Hongchen's house with Duanmu Pond and hid in an alley, and the two couldn't help but make trouble. This Taishifu is not easy to enter. The huge gatehouse is towering, and on the vermilion lacquer plaque on the lintel, there are four big golden characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing: Feng'en Mansion.

It means the National Mansion. The Wuji Empire is divided into six ranks, king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. Princes are generally direct members of the royal family. The foreign surname is the king, and they are all great heroes who have made immortal achievements.

Generally speaking, the Duke of the Kingdom is a first-class title. Even if they are national princes, they are mostly ministers who have made great contributions. They are all untouchable characters.

Like Zhu Hongchen, a book with the word Feng'en, the state government was knighted because of his in-laws. When a discerning person saw this kind of plaque, he immediately understood that this was the emperor's father-in-law's family.

It stands to reason that this kind of in-law is a little worse than the kind of national prince who has been knighted for his merits. But in fact, it's quite the opposite. This kind of state duke mansion favored by nepotism is often more arrogant than that of a prince who has been knighted for merit.

The two vermilion-lacquered gates of the Zhu Mansion are open inward. On both sides of the door are large lanterns with the words Zhu Fu on them. Under the lantern were four servants, dressed in samurai suits, with steel swords hanging from their waists, and nails were usually driven there. It was even more ferocious than the two huge white jade lions in front of the door.

The high blue brick and blue tile courtyard walls on both sides of the gate are not visible at a glance. Spectacular and majestic!

Xin Ran was born in the military, and he has seen a majestic scene compared to this. But this will, but involuntarily a little uneasy. It's not that he's afraid of this kind of scene, but he really doesn't know how to get in. Do you go directly to sign up and let the family members report it, or send the worship box first, and then go back to listen to the letter.

"Brother, I pretended to be your entourage and came forward to report to you, do you like it?" Duanmu Pond came up with an idea. Xin Ran muttered and didn't answer. Although he was very witty, he could not make a decision for a while.

Report the name in, maybe Zhu Hongchen will not forget the old love and receive him warmly. It may also be that he is ungrateful, turns his face and does not recognize people, and comes to kill his relatives with righteousness, and directly locks him up to ask for merit and reward. Thinking of this, Xin Ran asked Duanmu Pond with a wry smile: "Brother Duanmu, how is this Zhu Hongchen's reputation?"

"He has a very good reputation! He is a well-known good man!" Duanmu Pond involuntarily raised his fingers and praised endlessly: "Give up cotton jackets in winter, give single clothes in summer, and give medicine to those who can't afford it." If there is a year of famine, porridge shacks will be set up to relieve the victims. Everyone said that this was Taishi Zhu who had been assigned and suffered. I know that hard life is not easy. ”

"But why can't I see it?" Xin Ran looked around and muttered suspiciously.

"Hehe, brother, this is rare and strange for you. Duanmu Pond said with a smile: "This is the main gate of the Taishi Mansion, how can it be possible to distribute those things here, and it won't become a bazaar? In that case, the Taishi Mansion will open a gold mine, and it will not be able to give alms. All of these things are done in another place. Don't talk about these things, even the people in the Taishi's Mansion come and go, and they all go through the back door. This main gate was specially used to welcome guests and court officials. Isn't that the case in your house?"
