Chapter Fifty-two Strong Dragons Don't Overwhelm Local Snakes
Just when Chunxiao sent Chun's mother back to Chunfeng Tower, Li Yannian also received the news in the mansion.
"Went to Nanluogu Lane?" Li Yannian squinted his eyes, holding the tea cup, thoughtfully.
The secret guard under his command replied in a low voice: "My subordinates will definitely not be mistaken. They are indeed going to Nanluogu Lane."
"When you go to Nanluoguxiang at this time, are you planning to tip off the crown prince?" Li Yannian finished speaking and chuckled, "Our crown prince is a good man. If he knows about the Nian family's situation, he will definitely help.
.”
The secret guard under his command looked at him in confusion, wondering how he could still laugh at this time.
Li Yannian seemed to understand the doubts of his subordinates, and explained in a good mood: "If someone wants to kill Nian Ruipeng, then Chang'an Hou Shizi will lead the troops there, naturally to save people. But what if no one wants to kill Nian Ruipeng?"
He chuckled as he spoke.
"Guess if Prince Chang'an values the Nian family so much, after hearing the news, will he immediately lead troops to Chunfeng Tower?"
At the end of his speech, Li Yannian looked up to the sky and smiled.
He never thought that there would be such an opportunity to fight with the prince. If it weren't for his master's instructions, he would have wanted to fight with the prince, and now this opportunity is perfect.
"You lead people to guard near Chunfeng Tower. When Zhou Yan leads his troops to Chunfeng Tower, when will you show up again? I will make him, a rescuer, turn into a murderer. By then, the name of Chang'an Hou Shizi will be changed.
It’s not that easy in Yuzhou City!”
The night was dark, but the lights of Chunfeng Tower remained as usual, which was particularly dazzling in the silent Yuzhou night.
Xiao Hongxiu went to Nanluoguxiang for only an hour, so she asked someone to send her back, but she had a thousand taels of silver notes in her hand. Although it was not as good as the ten thousand taels given by Ruipeng in the past year, it was enough to satisfy Chun's mother.
.
While she was having people bring water to Xiao Hongxiu, she was in Ruipeng's room last year, preparing to comfort the hot-tempered young man so that he would not give up on Xiao Hongxiu.
But who would have thought that before Mother Chun reached the door of the private room, she heard a scream coming from inside.
This scream scared Chun's mother out of her wits. She quickly knocked on the door and shouted: "What's going on? Mr. Nian, what's wrong with you? Speak quickly!"
There was only Nian Ruipeng's shout inside, and no one answered.
At this time, Zhang Ping rushed over with people and asked from downstairs: "What's going on upstairs? Why are you screaming so much in the middle of the night?"
How did Chun's mother recognize Zhang Ping? She only saw Zhang Ping carrying a knife, so she thought he was a yamen servant, and quickly greeted him: "Master Nian of the Nian family screamed inside, and the Nu family didn't know what happened.
Your Excellency, please bring someone in quickly to have a look!"
Hearing this, Zhang Ping immediately kicked in the door and entered with his sword drawn. He looked around and asked, "Who is so presumptuous here that you won't be captured without restraint?"
But there were no screams there? Only Nian Ruipeng was sleeping heavily on the bed, and he couldn't wake up even if he screamed.
"Why can't I wake up? It can't be..." Chun's mother said and started to check Nian Ruipeng's breathing.
But Zhang Ping could tell at a glance, "He was knocked unconscious."
After saying that, Zhang Ping carefully checked around and said: "The doors and windows are locked from the inside, which proves that the person is still in the room. Come, search for me!"
At this moment, the real government officer who was patrolling the streets rushed over. When he saw Zhang Ping with a knife, he shouted loudly.
"Wait!"
Only then did Chun's mother realize that the clothes Zhang Ping was wearing were not Yuzhou Yamen's clothes, "Ah, you are not a Yuzhou Yamen official?"
"I am the royal guard of the Crown Prince of Chang'an. I went out on errands under the Crown Prince's order. I came to help you when I heard your screams. When did I say that I was a government official?" Zhang Ping's answer was flawless and watertight.
When Chun's mother thought about it, it was really like this. At that time, she only saw Zhang Ping carrying a knife, so she thought he was a government official, but she didn't expect that the clothes he was wearing were completely different.
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding!" Chun's mother hurriedly laughed and explained to the Yuzhou Yamen, "You can't blame Mr. Zhang. It's all because of the impatience of the slave family."
But unfortunately, Yuzhou Yamen was not prepared to let Zhang Ping go.
The man said with a gloomy face: "Since you are the chief guard of the Prince's Mansion, you should know that Yuzhou is forbidden to travel at night, and you are not allowed to go out with a knife. It is said that the emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty. If you act like this, how can you be punished severely?
To set an example?"
When Chun's mother heard that a fight was about to start, she naturally wanted to persuade them to make peace, but when she saw that neither Zhang Ping nor that man would give in to the other, she immediately felt dizzy.
The prince's status is high, but they say that a powerful dragon cannot overwhelm a local coward. Since I opened the Chunfeng Tower on the territory of Yuzhou, I still have to listen to the words of Yuzhou officials.
No matter it was the prince's palace or the government, she could not afford to offend.
Fortunately, as soon as she rolled her eyes, she saw Nian Ruipeng lying on the bed. She hurriedly pulled her sleeves on both sides and said, "If you two have anything to do, we'll discuss it tomorrow. It's better to call Mr. Nian a doctor first! I'm here."
The barefoot doctor at Chunfeng Tower cannot cure the young master!"
I don't know if what she said had an effect, and the two of them finally got out of the tense atmosphere.
Zhang Ping spoke first, "My eldest son is familiar with this young master's father. Why don't you let me take him to see the doctor?"
Chun's mother was still worried that the other group of people would not give in, but who would have thought that the Yuzhou government officials would actually step back half a step to make way for Zhang Ping.
Zhang Ping left Chunfeng Tower with Nian Ruipeng on his back, and even called Xiao Hongxiu over before leaving.
"The story of Mr. Nian's lavish spending of millions of dollars has been widely spread in Yuzhou. We in the Prince's Mansion don't have any maids to serve him, so you can do it."
When Chun's mother heard this, she muttered behind her: "Why were you taken to Shizi's house? Shouldn't you be sent back to Nian's house?"
But the nobleman's affairs were not in her hands. She was just curious. She turned around and prepared to say good things to the yamen and asked them not to check the room, for fear that they would find those drugs to enhance their enjoyment in the room, but the yamen kicked them out.
.
"The government is handling the case. You can go wherever you need to. Don't delay here." After saying that, he pushed Chun's mother out of the door and slammed the door.
Zhang Ping's taking away Nian Ruipeng has nothing to do with Chunfeng Tower, but these people are now in Chunfeng Tower. If they steal the things inside, who will go there?
Mother Chun was as anxious as ants on a hot pot outside. The people inside seemed to feel this anxiety. They checked it slowly and came out empty-handed, and sure enough they found some drugs that they shouldn't have.
Mother Chun persuaded them hard and gave them money before sending these noble people away.
Under his hand, Mr. Gui brought a handkerchief to Mother Chun to wipe her sweat. He looked at the cadres who were leaving and said, "Why am I looking at this? There is one more person here?"
"What does one more person and one less person have to do with you? Go away! Go back and do your things!" Chun's mother glared at him and returned to the room with lingering fear.
