Chapter 0016 One family is prosperous, one family is declining
"Don't worry, I still have a few words to say to Miss Chan'er."
Kou Ji withdrew his hand from Liu Heng's, stood up slowly, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Su Chan'er who was standing beside the bed.
When Su Chaner returned the gift with a strange expression.
Kou Ji said with a smile: "I hope the girl will keep the things I discussed with Brother Liu Heng tonight secret. Although Bianjing is a big city, the roads are not easy to get around."
Su Chaner's half-crouched body stiffened, and she raised her head with an ugly smile on her face.
"The little lady has taken note of it."
Kou Ji's words are soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
It seemed like he was begging Su Chaner, but in fact he was threatening her.
The words "Although Bianjing City is big, the roads are not easy to navigate" are to remind Su Chan'er that as long as she dares to reveal the secret of Kou Ji's discussion with Liu Heng tonight, there will be no place for her in Bianjing City.
With the strength of the Kou and Liu families in Bianjing City, crushing Su Chaner to death would be easier than crushing an ant.
"Chan'er is mine. You don't have to worry that she will reveal our plans. Go quickly. My father is going to inspect the military camp outside the city tonight as usual, and he happens to be away from home."
Liu Heng responded to Su Chan'er's defense, took Kou Ji and left.
Kou Ji glanced at Su Chan'er meaningfully and followed Liu Heng out of Su Chan'er's boudoir.
"Master!"
"Young Master!"
"Third Master!"
"..."
Outside the boudoir, Erbao, Chief Kou and Liu Heng's followers came to greet them immediately after seeing the two of them appear.
Looking at Erbao and Liu Heng's followers, their noses were crossed and their eyes were raised, it was obvious that there was something amiss between them.
Kou Ji smiled at Erbao, and Mansion Chief Kou nodded.
Liu Heng waved his hands and shouted: "Let's go back home!"
"Okay~"
The big and round men glared at Erbao, agreed, and like crabs, walked downstairs and helped Liu Heng clear away the people blocking the corridor.
"Young Master..."
Governor Kou then approached Kou Ji and whispered softly, as if to remind him of something.
Kou Ji was stunned, then smiled and said to Liu Heng: "Isn't it appropriate to go out now? At this hour, there is a curfew in the city."
When Liu Heng heard this, he curled his lips disdainfully, "The people in the Inspection Department are all my father's subordinates. How dare they stop me?"
With Liu Heng's words, his true nature as a playboy was fully exposed.
Instead of feeling disgusted, Kou Ji looked at him with admiration.
If you don't use it if you have the power, it will become invalid if it is outdated; if you don't respect it if you have power, it will become invalid if it becomes outdated.
The style of a playboy like Liu Heng was what Kou Ji yearned for the most.
It's a pity that he has a huge backer, but he can't rely on it.
Under the guidance of Liu Heng, Kou Ji's master and servant followed him out of Wanhua Tower.
…
Bianjing City is quiet at night.
The hustle and bustle of the day is swept away.
The sound of gurgling water in the river can be vaguely heard in the distance.
There were literati and poets hiding on the deck of the fishing boat, playing the flute, and the sound in the empty valley was quiet.
The breeze blew the willow branches swaying, making a rustling sound, which seemed to be accompaniment to the cave flute.
"Dangdangdang..."
The old watchman, holding a lantern and banging his wooden clapper, seemed to be echoing from the other side.
However.
The scene did not last long before it was destroyed by a group of armored and sword-wielding Forbidden Army soldiers.
"Who...the city has been put under curfew and still dares to wander on the street? Let me take him down."
Liu Heng, Kou Ji and their entourage were obviously noticed by the Forbidden Army soldiers. Under the shouts of the leader, Dutou, a group of Forbidden Army soldiers surrounded them with long knives in their hands.
"Bang!"
Liu Heng pulled the front of the shirt and kicked it.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly who I am, young master?"
The Liu family's servant immediately picked up a lantern and illuminated Liu Heng's face.
The imperial guard resisted Liu Heng's kick for the first time and was about to get angry, but when he saw Liu Heng's face, he immediately changed his face.
With a flattering look on his face, he knelt down and said, "Hey, it turns out to be the Third Young Master of the General's Mansion. I am blind to Mount Tai. I almost flooded the Dragon King Temple. I hope Third Young Master is not to blame."
Then he turned around and shouted to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army behind him: "What are you guys doing around the Third Young Master? Why don't you get out of the way and let the Third Young Master pass?"
If the third young master loses a hair because of your negligence, I will take your head."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army immediately moved out of the way.
Liu Heng disdainfully kicked the Imperial Guards on the head again and cursed: "What kind of big water are you? You are just a barking dog."
When the imperial guards heard this, instead of being angry, they said with a flattering smile: "The third young master is right, the villain is just a dog, the dog raised in the young master's house."
Liu Heng curled his lips in disgust, "Look for two people to clear the way. I don't want to be stopped by anyone again."
"Please, I will personally clear the way for you."
"..."
The Forbidden Army stopped patrolling. He led his Forbidden Army soldiers to escort Liu Heng and Kou Ji to the Liu Mansion.
Liu Mansion is in the west of the city, not far from Jinming Pool.
Beside the Jinming Pond, besides the Liu Mansion, there is also a mansion.
Tianbo Yang Mansion.
In the past, Yang Ye, the military governor of the Datong Army, became famous in the battle at Yanmen Pass, which established the Yang family's noble status in Bianjing City.
Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi gave the Yang family this mansion.
At that time, the Yang family could be said to be the new rich in Bianjing City, with a large family.
However, as Yang Ye died in the Song-Liao battlefield, Yang Zhaoying, the successor of the Yang family, died young, and the Yang family began to decline.
In the huge Yang Mansion, there were only two or three lights burning. The lanterns hanging on the lintel were swaying in the breeze, as if they could be blown out by the wind at any time.
In comparison.
The Liu family seemed extremely noble.
Thousands of lights were burning together, illuminating the Liu Mansion with a bright golden light.
The glazed tiles on the roof are clearly visible under the light.
After Liu Heng arrived at the door of Liu's mansion, he did not rush into the mansion. Instead, he went to the restaurant opposite the mansion, knocked on the closed door, and invited the master and servant Kou Ji to go in and have a rest.
Before Liu Heng returned home, Kou Ji stopped him and said, "By the way, prepare the Chengxintang paper and pen and inkstone."
"clear……"
Liu Heng agreed and hurried back home.
Accompanied by the restaurant manager, Kou Ji climbed to the second floor of the restaurant, leaning on the railing and looking at the Liu and Yang mansions in the distance.
Finally, his eyes fell on Yang Mansion.
"General Yang...hey!"
Looking at the declining Yang Mansion, Kou Ji felt mixed emotions.
He has grown up listening to the story of "The Generals of the Yang Family" since he was a child. He has special feelings for the Yang family.
With the Liu family as a comparison, the special feelings in his chest were even stronger.
The whole family is loyal, but they are defeated by nepotism!
The whole house is full of passion, but it is no match for flattery!
How sad and deplorable!
He sympathized with the Yang family, but he couldn't give the Yang family the honor it deserved, at least not now.
Because he hasn't finished cleaning up the mess caused by his cheap father.
If you are poor, you can only benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world.
He has too much time to take care of himself now, so how can he help others?
