Chapter 225: The Prime Minister's House

After the day passed, the convoy did not go to Sangong Street where the Prime Minister of Dongcheng was located immediately, but instead found a restaurant nearby for a meal and rested for a while. He did not go to Dongcheng until the time was not yet available.

At one moment, Sangong Street.

Qin Lei inevitably compared it with the same famous General Street. Unlike the square-like road paved with dark gray black stone on General Street, Sangong Street is not that wide, but paved with more expensive white marble jade, spotless and noble and solemn. There are green pines and cypresses planted beside the road, which is less killing than General Street and more deep and steady.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the prime minister's mansion, and through the car window, he looked at the tall and gilded vermilion gate with countless cloud patterns. Under the door were tall white jade steps, and there were small animals that could not be called "Qianjin" and other small animals that could not be called "Auspicious Beast". Even the pair of lions at the door were shining golden, looking very valuable.

Qin Lei thought of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Qi, the gilded vermilion gate covered by the thousand-year-old locust tree, and the pair of stone lions looking down on all living beings. He couldn't help but sigh that when it comes to making arrangements, the people of Qi are more capable. There are not so many carved railings and jade buildings, and there are not so many exaggerated decorations. Just relying on a thousand-year-old tree like a crown, it demonstrates the noble identity of the owner and also calls out the family's long-term fortune. It is really much more brilliant than simply piling up wealth.

"It's not a kindergarten, why are you painting so many turtles and toads?" Qin Lei murmured in a low voice.

"What are the instructions of the prince?" Shi Gan came up to ask without hearing Qin Lei's words.

"It's okay, go and call the door." Qin Lei waved his hand, not wanting to explain to him what 'kindergarten' is.

Shi Gan nodded, got out of the car and arrived at the front of the mansion. The door smiled and smiled flatteringly: "Forgive the villain, why can't he tell which official is? The villain deserves to die..."

Although the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, that was told to ordinary officials. Seeing the convoy's grand and strict guards, the door also knew that a big man had come and dared to hold him there.

Shi Gan took out a famous thorn from his sleeve and handed it to the doorman. He smiled faintly: "Please report this big brother and say that his colleagues from Minister Wen were in the south came to visit him."

The doorman took the famous thorn with both hands, but did not dare to be filial. He nodded and bowed, "You old doorman serves tea, and the young one will go in and report it."

Shi Gan nodded, twisted out a treasure banknote from his sleeve, smiled and handed it to the door, and said reservedly: "Take it and have a tea." Giving the door is an unwritten custom. But if the door sends it before it comes down, it means despicable, which means filial piety. And when the door comes down, it means reward. The two represent different highs and lows.

The doorman's smile became even brighter, and he thought to himself, looking at his demeanor, he really knows how to do things. He nodded and bowed, and invited Shi Gan into the doorman, and ordered his subordinates to serve him. Then he ran in with the famous sprinter.

After passing through the Sanchong Courtyard, I arrived at the "Fengren Courtyard" where the eldest master lived. After entering, I found that the eldest master was also there.

Wen Yanbo sat behind the desk, opposite Wen Mingyi was sitting upright. Mr. Wen wore a green robe, which was much thinner than when he was in the south. His cheekbones were prominent, his eyes looked much bigger and brighter.

Wen Yanbo looked at his serious son worriedly. After so much trouble, he finally gave up his idea of ​​suicide and seemed to have returned to normal. But after a long time, Prime Minister Wen found that something was wrong with his most complacent son. The originally gentle Minister Wen was often inexplicably excited and a little nervous. He spoke in a foggy way and was out of touch.

When I woke up until noon today, Wen Mingyi was dressed neatly and wanted to go to the yamen to work. The servants couldn't stop him, so they had to invite Mr. Wen. Wen Yanbo was very persuasive, but Wen Mingyi refused to rest at home. Instead, he scolded himself seriously and said, "Eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king! My father is the country's subordinates, assisting the world, receiving all his kindness and enjoying all his glory. He should devote himself to his life until he died, how could he stay at home in broad daylight and not go to the yamen to do things quickly?" As he said, he said with a heartache: "Since my child came back, I saw my father fishing for three days and blew the net for two days, which really made me feel ashamed of you."

Wen Yanbo almost turned his back, but could not get angry with him, so he had to say bitterly: "Mr. Wen, I am here to listen to your report today. Let's go to work in the study." Then he coaxed Wen Mingyi into the room, and the two of them sat there staring at each other.

Wen Yanbo was stared at by his son. Not only did he not know what to say, but he didn't even know where to put his hands. He even felt that if there was a crack in the ground, he would definitely get in.

Just in awkward moments, the door came in and sent the visiting letter, which made Old Man Wen do something.

After taking the light blue greeting, he opened the name of the person, Wen Yanbo slapped the table suddenly.

He said with a erotic look: "What are he here to do? Provoke? Look at a joke?" He said, pulling the prayer post with both hands, trying to tear it apart. "Don't think I'm going to see him unless he's at the funeral!!" The old man gritted his teeth.

However, Wen Mingyi from the opposite side held his hands and said seriously: "My father, you are so rude. How can you treat other people's reputation like this? If you spread it, you will lose all your face in our Wen family!"

As he said that, he spread Wen Yanbo's fingers one by one, snatched the wrinkled thorn over. He ignored the old man's snatching eyes and flattened the piece of paper with his arms. Then he held up his hands and read them word by word. After reading it, he looked at his father with a look of grudge and said in pain: "Sir, how can you treat a prince like this? And they are visiting the child. Could it be that the child has no freedom to make friends?"

As he said that, he stood up, and said in a long voice to the door with his head down and his eyes closed, "Follow me to pick up the guests..." and left the study room and left.

Looking at his departure back, Wen Yanbo's face turned blue and white, and finally his eyes turned red...

Qin Lei looked at the boss of the Wen family who bowed respectfully to him with a strange look on his face, and said dryly: "Mr. Wen is fine..."

Wen Mingyi kowtowed three times and still lay on the ground and said respectfully: "Prince Lao is worried. The subordinate is very good, very good, and has never been better!"

Qin Lei felt goosebumps all over his body and said, "That's good, why are Mr. Wen lying there?"

"The prince did not let Mingyi calm down, so Mingyi dared not act rashly!" Wen Mingyi said word by word.

Qin Lei couldn't help but be alert and thought to himself: This guy can't see through more than when he was in the south. Yet, such a big threshold has come, and it must be different from the past. I have to deal with it carefully.

Thinking of this, Qin Lei was so excited that he tentatively said: "If I don't say anything, I will just go straight in like this?"

"The emperor just knelt down like this and waited for the prince to come out!" The voice was firm, making people unquestionable of his determination.

Qin Lei laughed and said, "What a joyless and worry-free person. Lord Wen has indeed made more progress than when he was in the south. Get up."

"Thank you for not killing me!" Wen Mingyi suddenly said, then he got up from the ground, stood by the door with his head down, and asked Qin Lei to enter the house.

Qin Lei secretly swallowed his mouth and thought to himself, this person was ridiculing me for humiliating him, and it was no different from killing him. What a sharp word! The rules are as stable as Mount Tai, and the attacks are as sharp as a long sword. It is good kung fu! I should be careful to deal with it! How to answer?

When Qin Lei thought about it, he immediately came up with seven or eight kinds of answers, and was about to pick out one of them, which was both offensive and defensive. When he saw the third brother of the Wen family hurried out from the yard, he first glared at Qin Lei fiercely, but ignored him. Instead, he said softly to Wen Mingyi like coaxing the child: "Brother, it's time for us to go back and take medicine!"

Wen Mingyi, who had a serious face, suddenly collapsed when he heard the word "take medicine" and said with grievance: "It's bitter..."

Qin Lei immediately saw sweat on his forehead and thought to himself, "No way, right?" Wen Mingren continued, "It's not bitter, add rock candy, and after taking the medicine, I'll take candied haws."

Wen Mingyi then smiled, no longer caring about Qin Lei, and did not say hello, turned around and followed Wen Laosan back to the inner courtyard...

Qin Lei looked at Wen Mingyi who was jumping and leaving, and his chin almost fell to the ground. His face felt hot, and he wailed in his heart: I'm so embarrassed that I'll be thrown to my grandma's house this time...

Holding down the absurdity in his heart, he was about to turn around and leave. He was distracted by this madman and his morale was the most depressed. He was in a mood to fight with Wen Yanbo's old fox.

But he didn't know that Wen Yanbo's morale at this time could not even be described as low-key, it was quite low-key...

Just after turning around and walking two steps, he heard someone calling him behind his back: "Prince Long stays, my father is in love."

Qin Lei paused and turned to face the person, the spring breeze was already warm: "It turned out to be the second young master Wen. The Gu Wang also said that the mansion is not convenient and he wants to come to visit again another day." His calm voice was completely different from the palpable moment.

Just talking about this self-regulation ability, no one in the world is above his authority.

Wen Mingli said expressionlessly: "It depends on the gift from the prince. My Wen family will definitely repay you well."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "You're welcome, where is your father?" But he didn't make a noise with him. Everyone is already like this, so what else can you pretend to be like?

How could Wen Mingli not feel Qin Lei's contempt? He snorted angrily, turned around to lead the way, and led Qin Lei to the living room.

When he arrived at the living room, Wen Mingli stepped in, but Qin Lei stood steadily at the door, smiling at the elegant and calm, elegant old man sitting on the main seat.

Wen Yanbo looked at Qin Lei standing at the door calmly, and suddenly thought that he had seen the talented and powerful emperor. He clearly felt Qin Lei's extremely strong self-confidence and the domineering aura of those who follow me and those who go against me and those who go against me and die. Although the temperament of being the only one is hidden very deeply, it cannot be hidden from the old man's eyes that see through the world.

Wen Yanbo finally knew that his son lost without any worries. Such a person was not something Wen Mingyi could deal with.

Fortunately, he was still very weak, Wen Yanbo thought to himself. Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, come in. Will the prince still want me to get up to greet me?"

"Yes." Qin Lei smiled and said, "The prince welcomes a prince and does not lose the price."

"Rareless!" Wen Mingli shouted in a low voice, and wanted to continue talking, but his father stopped him.

"Hahaha, that's the case," Wen Yanbo was not annoyed, and looked at Prince Long who was still moving at the door with a smile, and said with a good time: "But I am the prince's tutor, and I am the prince's teacher. I seem to be able to afford the fifth prince to come in and bow."

Qin Lei also laughed and said, "What Prime Minister Wen said is very much, but the king is the elders and the teacher is in front of him. The king is in front of him and the teacher is behind him. Gu is the son of Your Majesty. Wen is the minister in front of Gu. Wen is the minister. Wen is the minister first, and Wen is the minister, and then the teacher is the teacher and student."

Wen Yanbo was speechless for a moment and laughed dryly: "Youth is good, you are confidential, you react quickly, and you are not forgiven. It really makes the old man envious."

Wen Mingli, who was on the side, interrupted coldly, "It's just reeds on the wall and bamboo shoots in the mountains."

Although Qin Lei didn't know what Wen Mingli was scolding him, he was not a good thing, so

He ignored him at all, but said strangely to Wen Yanbo: "Wenxiang, is this how you educate your children? Why do adults always interrupt when they speak?"

Wen Yanbo's face turned cold and said in a deep voice: "I don't agree with what the prince said. I and the queen mother are of the same generation. My son is your elder. You are a bit of arbitrary belittlement of the dog's son."

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "What are the names of Marshal Wen Xiang and Bo Shang?"

"This..." Wen Yanbo couldn't figure out what he sold for, so he said strangely: "Why did he get involved with Brother Bo Shangshi?"

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Since you call Brother Boshang the brother, Gu, the sworn brother of Brother Boshang, naturally he will call you "Brother" with a shame..."

Wen Yanbo's expression was dull when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter. He stopped Wen Mingli from retorting and said in a deep voice: "The prince's skill is really good, I have learned it. But I am not sure about teaching you goodness. It is better not to provoke it lightly, especially when you ask for help."

"Otherwise, it's just a try to show off your verbal advantage." Wen Yanbo's voice turned cold, and he squeezed out two words from his teeth: "Send... a guest..." He called Qin Lei in, originally trying to humiliate him. Even if he couldn't say anything about him, Wen Yanbo was invincible. Because Qin Lei lost the initiative as long as he came in. No matter how much cheaper he was on his lips, he would be disgraced in the end.

Wen Mingli walked to Qin Lei with a gloating look on his face and raised his hand and said, "Prince, please."

Qin Lei didn't look at him at all, and laughed loudly, "Prime Minister Wen dares to make a bet with Gu? As long as Gu says two words, Wen Xiang has to obediently follow his words and invite Gu in again."

Wen Yanbo laughed and said, "Oh, I have to listen to what two words are, and they have such power."

"Listen," Qin Lei cleared his throat and spit out two words: "Immortal... Yao..."

There was a silence in the room. When Wen Mingli saw that his father didn't speak, she thought Wen Yanbo didn't understand and sneered: "Twisting the medicine? Even if you press the medicine, you can't do it. Please, the prince."

Qin Lei nodded and said politely: "It's not time to send you off." He said that, and turned around and left.

"Wait..." The heavy voice of Prime Minister Wen came from the room: "The old minister, please invite His Highness Prince Long."

Wen Mingli's expression suddenly faded, and he looked at Qin Lei walking by his side stupidly. He didn't understand why these two words were so powerful that his father really resigned himself...

"Please give tea in your highness the study." Wen Yanbo stood up and reluctantly bowed.

"It's easy to say." Qin Lei was not satisfied, and he still looked like he was smiling.

The two walked to the back hall. Wen Mingli wanted to follow, but Wen Yanbo stopped him. Qin Lei also left Shi Gan outside the study.

In the study room, Wen Yanbo closed the door himself, sat opposite Qin Lei, and said in a deep voice: "How did the prince know about this person?"

Qin Lei smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that she once served as a maid for the Lone King."

Wen Yanbo shook his head and whispered: "I know about this. What I asked is, how do you know her relationship with me?"

Qin Lei still smiled faintly and said, "It's not difficult to find out. After all, you killed people and arrested people. It's hard for the Lone King to make such a big noise." He deliberately said it vaguely, but he wanted to make Wen Yanbo unable to touch the details. "Miss Nianyao is Prime Minister Wen's daughter, it's no secret." Qin Lei said casually.

"Oh," Wen Yanbo said tiredly: "Yes, Nian Yao is indeed my husband's daughter," he admitted it happily. "I have been looking for this daughter for sixteen years, but my mother said 'Sent out of Beijing' so she searched all over the country. Unexpectedly, it was under my nose. It was so dark under the light..."

Qin Lei said lightly: "I didn't expect that the Prime Minister really loves his daughter!"

Wen Yanbo suddenly asked nervously: "Have you ruined her?"

Qin Lei said with a depressed look on his face: "The Lone King is a person who is clean..."

Wen Yanbo was relieved and said softly: "That's good, that's good." As he said that, he looked at Qin Lei calmly and said in a deep voice: "You are here to find me at this time, it must be for your fourth brother."

Qin Lei nodded and did not deny it: "Yes, Gu really came for Prince Jian."

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "I heard that your relationship is not good, so he even sent someone to ambush you outside the ancient city."

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Wen Xiang really won't miss any chance to sow discord, but you made the wrong plan this time." He said with a frank look: "Our relationship is not bad, but very bad. It can be said that it is not much stronger than the relationship between Gu and Prime Minister."

"Then why do you have to try your best to save him?" Wen Yanbo asked, "Have you heard the story of Mr. Nan Guo and the Wolf?"

Qin Lei thought to himself that there was finally an allusion that he could understand, and laughed and said, "That's different. Just because his surname is Qin, the Gu Wang can't let him die!!" The faint tone made people feel that it is not against him.

Wen Yanbo said coldly: "Your Majesty is a little too confident. Do you think you can still negotiate terms with me in a peaceful manner?"

Qin Lei stretched out a finger and said in a deep voice: "It was your side who provoked first. The noble prince took the rebellion and tried to fight against all the gentry in the south with one person! He almost destroyed the stable situation that the Lone King had worked hard to get. Moreover, Lone King just invited him out of the venue and made it look like this, which was purely accidental."

Wen Yanbo narrowed his eyes and said, "So the prince doesn't want to be responsible for this matter?"

Qin Lei also narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Don't think that the Lone King doesn't know. You colluded with Qiao Yuanshan and leaked the Lone King's marching route, which almost caused the Li family to kill the Lone's life!"

Wen Yanbo twisted his beard that was beginning to be gray and sarcastically said, "Do you really think you can deal with me and Taiwei Li by your own strength?"

Qin Lei changed his outstretched index finger to his middle finger, and still held it in front of Wen Yanbo, saying coldly: "The Gu Wang and you have never been in the well water, but if you are provoking the situation first, the Gu Wang had to respond. After this, all the Wen and Wu Wang and the Gu Wang should respond."

Before Wen Yanbo answered, Qin Lei continued: "But before this, I want the fourth brother to survive. Otherwise..." He didn't say anything else, Ren Wen Yanbo imagined it himself.

Although Wen Yanbo didn't know the meaning of Qin Lei gesture, he felt extremely awkward. Close his eyes

He said, "You send Nian Yao first, I don't believe you."

"No, you can let Qin Ji go first, and the Lone King doesn't believe you." The two sides stalemate.

Wen Yanbo thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "This is how you send her to the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang first. When Qin Ji's affairs are over, I will go and ask for it. What about it?"
Chapter completed!
