Chapter 150 The Eagle Flies Away
Lord Zhu came in excitedly and left with a heavy heart.
Walking out of Chunhui Hall and standing in the sunshine, Lord Zhu felt as if he was in another world.
Now he is no longer the carefree and playboy. Now he is a man with a huge secret and a knife hanging over his head.
Thinking of the invisible knife, Lord Zhu subconsciously raised his head. A shadow covered his head. Lord Zhu was shocked. Disaster came suddenly? Dark clouds were pressing down?
Fortunately, the shadow flew away the next moment.
Yes, it flew away, because it was a big black bird.
Lord Zhu remembered that this was the eagle raised by Zhu Yu.
In fact, Zhu Yu never said that this eagle was his.
However, the people in the mansion still believed that he had got it from somewhere. The reason they didn't say it was because Zhu Yu was not in the mansion when he got the eagle. When he came back, he was thrown into jail before he could even sit down. When he came back, he became a eunuch. From then on, he lived in Chunhui Hall and never returned to his own courtyard.
But the people in his yard had received orders from Old Madam Wei to take good care of the eagle. As long as Old Madam Wei did not revoke the order, they dared not fail to feed it. Therefore, the eagle would come to the Marquis' Mansion almost every day to report for duty, and after eating and drinking, it would fly away to play somewhere unknown.
After a while, everyone in the mansion got used to the presence of the eagle, and even praised the eagle for being sensible because it never hurt anyone.
Therefore, when Lord Zhu saw the eagle in Chunhui Hall, he was not surprised. Instead, he felt really pitiful. He had been frightened by his old mother and was paranoid. When he saw a domestic eagle, he thought that dark clouds were looming and bad luck was coming.
Lord Zhu finally left Chunhui Hall with an uneasy mood.
He did not stay in the mansion, but went out again. At this time, only his tenderness and gentleness could comfort his tired old heart.
......
Today, Zhao Shiqing made an appointment with Zhao Tingxuan, and the brother and sister met at Huibaozhai where they met last time.
Zhao Shiqing brought Ling Bo with him, while Zhao Tingxuan only brought a servant with him.
Zhao Shiqing didn't see Nie Dalang and Nie Erlang, so he asked with a smile: "Second brother, where are the two from the Nie family?"
Zhao Tingxuan said, "I have to thank you for this. After our last meeting, Nie Dalang didn't return to the palace for a whole day and night, and was later detained in the Wucheng Bingmasi detention center."
The detention center of the Wucheng Bingmasi generally charged fines. Those who could not pay the fines would either be beaten with a stick and then released, or be beaten with a stick and then sent to the Jingzhao Prefecture's prison.
Therefore, Nie Dalang was put in the detention center, and it was the people from the Wucheng Bingmasi who came to inform him.
The Prince of Liang's Mansion paid a fine of twenty taels of silver, and only then was Nie Dalang released.
Zhao Shiqing was extremely curious. She had beaten Nie Dalang that day, but when she left, Nie Dalang was still lying there. Besides, after being beaten like that, what else could he do? Was he worthy of being locked up in a detention center?
Zhao Tingxuan smiled helplessly. "He was beaten and couldn't even stand up. An auntie happened to be passing by with her grandson and saw him. The auntie kindly asked what was wrong, but he hugged her legs... The auntie screamed and shouted for help. Coincidentally, the soldiers from the Wucheng Military Commission were drinking tea nearby. The auntie's grandson went to report the crime, and they came and arrested Nie Dalang and took him back to the detention center."
Zhao Shiqing......
There are so many fun things to do in Beijing, she loves Beijing!
"Somehow, word got out that Nie Dalang had been taken to the detention center, and even the people at the Imperial College heard about it. They all knew that Nie Dalang had molested an old lady in the street and had been arrested by the Five Cities Military Commission. Nie Dalang didn't dare go to the Imperial College again. Nie Erlang was so angry about Nie Dalang's involvement that he got into a fight with him after returning home. Nie Dalang was already injured, and Nie Erlang's beating compounded his injuries, leaving him bedridden.
I have already written to the Nie family, telling them the truth and asking them to send someone to pick them up.
The Nie family values their reputation and will not sit idly by. Someone will definitely come.”
Zhao Shiqing gave Zhao Tingxuan a thumbs-up. "Second brother, you did the right thing. You should have let the Nie family take the person away. But... Hey, how did you know it was mine?"
Just now, Zhao Tingxuan said he wanted to thank her. It seems that he knew that Nie Dalang was beaten by her.
Zhao Tingxuan smiled. "We just met that day, and Nie Dalang was beaten in the alley outside Huibaozhai. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else in the capital who would help me like this."
Zhao Shiqing chuckled: "I just can't stand him bullying you."
Zhao Tingxuan: "It's not bullying, actually. I'm not that easy to bully."
Zhao Shiqing curled her lips. "He's your study partner, but he doesn't take you seriously. What else is that but bullying? Oh, and the Nie family won't let this go. I suspect they'll send someone else this time. Think carefully about how you're going to deal with this new person. If you continue like before, I won't help you anymore."
My younger sister is worried about him.
Zhao Tingxuan lowered his head in shame. He was obviously the older brother, but he still made his younger sister worry about him.
"Little sister, believe me, I will definitely handle it this time."
He looked around and said to Zhao Shiqing in a flattering tone, "Little sister, take a look around the shop later. Tell me if you see anything you like, and I'll buy it for you."
"Okay." Zhao Shiqing would not be polite with him. Besides, she had paid a price, and beating people was tiring.
The brother and sister chatted for a while, and Zhao Shiqing suddenly remembered Xiao Zhen's dream. She said to Zhao Tingxuan, "Second brother, you can eat, drink, have fun, and do whatever you want in the capital, but you can't touch the Five Stone Powder. Master Nie Er took the Five Stone Powder, and Nie Dalang and Nie Erlang may have also taken it."
Worried that Zhao Tingxuan wouldn't take this matter seriously, she took Xiao Zhen's dream upon herself.
"Brother, I had a dream. I dreamed that you took Wushisan and jumped off the building and died. Woohoo, I don't have a second brother anymore. My sister doesn't have a brother anymore. Woohoo, my unborn nephew doesn't have a father anymore. The world has lost a dashing and handsome young man."
She rubbed her eyes as she spoke, and after she finished speaking, her eyes were red and she actually rubbed out a few tears.
Zhao Tingxuan felt both distressed and touched. He thought about her during the day and dreamed about her at night. His younger sister was so worried about him.
He would not have been so touched before. At that time, he was in the palace, favored by his mother and cared for by his sister. He was the popular second young master.
But when he came to the capital, he was away from his family and was neglected everywhere. At this time, his younger sister's care seemed extremely precious.
"Don't worry, little sister. I swear I will never touch Wushisan in my life."
As he said this, he actually raised three fingers and swore at the window.
Seeing that he was serious, Zhao Shiqing felt relieved for the time being. Her second brother was not a strong-willed person, so she had to keep him longer in the future and not take him lightly.
