Chapter 132
Lan Hui recalled what happened before and looked around in horror.
He was in a very broken room, with mottled walls next to him and dark roofs, as if something would fall off at any time, which made him dare not look at it.
There was an oil lamp on the table not far away, and several flying insects kept hitting the flames. Many things were piled up in the corner of the wall opposite, and the shadows that expanded in the dim light looked like monsters.
Lan Hui struggled hard for a few more times, but the rope tied to him restricted his movements. He had a ball of cloth stuffed in his mouth, which made his throat uncomfortable. He only knew what object he was lying on, with thick old quilts under his body and back, and a circle of light yellow powder was sprinkled around him.
The yellow dog purred because of Lan Hui's struggle and took two steps back.
Lan Hui suppressed his fear and tried his best to push the cloth stuffed in his mouth with his tongue. He was very scared. He didn't want to be a hero at all. He just wanted to call him daddy loudly, but he could only make a whimpering sound.
Suddenly, he heard a ummy and ummy voice coming from behind.
Lan Hui shivered for a moment, feeling a few impacts from behind, and the ummy sound became louder and louder. The yellow dog shook his tail and barked twice. Lan Hui suddenly understood that this sound was made by King Dai!
Lang Wuming is behind him! He was tied up!
For some reason, Lan Hui felt a little relieved and remembered his identity as a knight.
The yellow dog shook his tail again and came over to sniff the corner of his clothes.
Lan Hui's heart moved, and the rope on his legs leaned against the yellow dog's mouth. The yellow dog sniffed and continued to bite the corner of his clothes.
Lan Hui brought the rope over again, and the yellow dog suddenly jumped to the side, followed by a creaking sound, and opened diagonally towards his door. Cai Huangshi held a bowl in her hand and slowly walked into the house.
The yellow dog slammed his tail and rushed out of the door, Lan Huishou shivered for a moment, and Cai Huangshi had a gentle smile on her face: "Are you awake? Are you hungry? My aunt cooked the eggs, do you want to eat them?"
Lan Hui stared at Cai Huang, trying to look away, but couldn't move it away. At this time, there was another thud and silence behind him.
Cai Huang turned to the back and walked a few steps and said softly: "Don't worry, you all have food, but you are older, of course you have to give in to your younger brother."
She put the bowl on the table, took out an egg from it, kneaded it twice, peeled the eggshell, handed it to Lan Hui's mouth, and took off the cloth from his mouth.
"Come on, eat."
Lan Hui closed her mouth tightly and stared at her motionlessly.
Cai Huang said in a warm voice: "It's not cold or hot, just right. Auntie doesn't know if you like to eat tender or old ones, and it's not cooked into sugar-heart eggs. Do you think it's hard to bite? Auntie helps you break it apart."
Lan Hui turned her head aside.
Cai Huang still smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll take it for your brother to eat first." He got up and walked to the back, and took down the cloth from Qi Tan's mouth.
Qi Tan immediately spitted out the cloth dust in his mouth and stared at Cai Huang with disdain: "Miss village woman, what are your plans for tying us?"
Cai Huangshi delivered the egg to his mouth as if he hadn't heard it.
Qi Tan spat on the egg: "Take it aside, don't be close to my eyes with this bad thing!"
Cai Huang's face still had a smile on his face, and raised his hand and slapped him.
"Have you never taught you to waste things and be punished by God?"
Qi Tan gritted his teeth and smiled, "You wild woman deserve to say God's punishment? I have no father or mother, but if you dare to mention the word "My parents", you are destined to be broken. This time I did have a Taoist, and fell into your hands. I think you are thinking about a lot of wealth and glory. But I have to tell you that the little kid and I are not brothers. He is actually a servant in my family. It's useless to keep him. It's better for me to deal with it. You can let him go back and inform me and let my family take money to redeem it."
Cai Huang's head slightly turned to the side: "You have no father or mother, why do you have a home?"
Qi Tan snorted: "If my father and mother are not here, I am naturally in charge of my brother. I have a bunch of uncles and uncles. It is not a big deal to bury your whole family with money."
Cai Huang frowned slightly, sighed, stood up, and said as if he was talking to himself: "A child like this is very unclean, so it is better not to stay."
Lan Hui shivered and said in a lost voice: "Don't."
Qi Tan said loudly: "Little Shadow, shut up." He looked at Cai Huang proudly again, "I want to kill and cut you to death. I will be a hero again thirteen years later!"
Cai Huangshi seemed to be hit by something and glared at Qi Tan: "You are thirteen this year?"
Qi Tan shook his head: "Not bad."
Cai Huang rushed up and pinched his shoulder with one hand: "Yen Sui or Xu Sui? Are you a year of your zodiac this year? Why didn't you tie a red belt?"
Qi Tan endured the pain on his shoulder and said hard: "I have to help the red belt in my zodiac year? Imprison... My brother asked the fortune teller to forget about it for me. This year, my zodiac sign must be avoided by red."
Cai Huang stared at him tightly, and her hands suddenly trembled. She stood up and looked at the roof.
"God's will... it's really God's will... nine years old... and twelve years old..."
She fell to her knees, and two lines of tears flowed down her face.
"God, you mean to give these two children to me... You want to borrow my hand to accomplish this..."
Lan Hui and Qi Tan looked at her in shock, crying and laughing. Cai Huang suddenly turned to Lan Hui and crawled over, stroked his face, and crawled towards Qi Tan again, touched his face, and tears flowed into his trembling lips.
"Nine years old... nine years old... twelve... twelve... good... good..."
When the ground in the hall was almost being walked through, Wen Muli finally waited for Xue Mulin, the Minister of the Honglu Temple.
Xue Mulin hurried into the hall, but his face was filled with surprise.
"How could the envoy visit late at night?"
Wen Muli pressed his hand on his chest and said sincerely again: "His Royal Highness, Prince Chabucharik, the son of the heroic and noble sun god in my Tachi Kingdom, heard about the disappearance of His Royal Highness of the Kingdom's King Dai, and his special fate..."
Xue Mulin bowed and interrupted him: "Sir, please be calm. This temple took the initiative to ask, why did the Lord say that my young master, who was recently demoted to a commoner, has disappeared?"
Wen Muli was stunned: "Our prince heard the news..."
Xue Mulin looked surprised: "Where did you know Prince Chabucharik and all the envoys heard the news?"
Wen Muli was stunned for a moment. This group of cunning Han people had set up another trap.
He then said with a sincere and sad look: "When the guards who escorted His Highness, when they came back and entered the city, the news came. They also reached the Qingsi Palace. When our prince learned about it, he immediately ordered me to come."
Xue Mulin frowned slightly: "So, was the servants and guards of Qingsi Palace who learned the news and told the envoys that this matter came to the prince, or did your envoys or followers hear it from outside?"
Wen Muli said sadly: "Does Lord Xue want to verify something?"
Xue Mulin immediately bowed again: "Please don't misunderstand me, because the news was clearly spreading wrongly, this temple took the initiative to ask abruptly. The person who encountered the robbers was the carriage of the family of the Minister of Rites, who returned to Xiuzhou Province. The young master of the Minister of Justice Lan has not been found yet. Jingzhao Prefecture is sending additional personnel to investigate and ask the Lord to keep this secret. From third-rank officials and family members who have any trouble, they must report to the court as usual. But I don't know how it will be misleading. If the officials and servants in Qingsi Hall say nonsense and make the prince misconvinced, and even let the Lord of the Lord of the Envoy come late at night, please be sure to inform the temple that the court will punish it severely!"
Wen Muli first showed a shocked expression.
These cunning and too cunning Han people were talking lies with their eyes open, and they wanted to cover up this matter.
He slowly changed his expression to a sigh of relief.
"It's not Your Highness, King Dai? That's great! Oh, no, no, I'm not saying that something happened to Mr. Lan's family is great! I was very wrong! Please don't tell Lord Lan and let him blame me. I hope Lord Lan's son can be found as soon as possible. This may be because our followers are not good at Chinese and hear it wrong. When I report to Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely punish them!"
Xue Mulin bowed again: "It was also our temple's negligence. I didn't know that Prince Chabcharik and the envoys of your country had learned the news of the fallacy. There happened to be a guest in the mansion tonight. The envoy came and waited for this time for a long time. This temple should apologize."
Wen Muli said sincerely: "Mr. Xue is so polite. In fact, it was our mistake that disturbed Lord Xue. At this time, Lord Xue should have rested. I also want to apologize to Lord Xue. Our prince has been uneasy because of the punishment of His Royal Highness Dai. After the prince's health has improved, he prays for His Royal Highness Dai in front of the Sun God every day, prays for His Royal Highness Dai for the common prosperity and common peace and friendship between our two countries. As long as we are happy, safe, and happy, any other problems are not a problem. Lord Xue thinks, am I right?"
Xue Mulin bowed again: "The envoy's words made a sound from the heart of our temple."
Wen Muli's back and lantern fire disappeared into the night outside the corridor, a black shadow flashed out from behind the corridor column and saluted Xue Mulin.
"Thank you, Lord Xue, I will retire and return to the palace to report my life."
The sound of slapping the door broke through the silence of the thick night. After a while, the dog barked, and the low door creaked open. A thin woman appeared in front of the door with her body hunched over, looking at the dazzling fire in front of her in a daze.
"You are... the official? Why do you knock on the door late at night?"
A guard stepped forward: "Who is the last name? How many people are there in the family? Come quickly. Have you ever seen a strange child in the afternoon or evening?"
The woman showed a look of panic on her face and gave a blessing.
"Report to all the officials, the little lady Cai Huang, I and the little girl are the only ones in my family. I have never seen any children. If the official does not believe it, come in and search. The private wife is remote and does not rely on the road, so she can't see anyone easily. If she sees it, she will definitely report to the official."
The guard held the torch and swept it inward, nodding to the several guards who were walking with him and a minor official who was holding a pen to record.
"If you see a strange child in his eight or nine years old, you will tell your township chief that there is a reward for money in the yamen."
