C58

On the third day, another letter came from the entrance of Prince Chu Palace. However, this time, it was not a letter that was stuffed in the door, but a child who had a strong and sturdy appearance, looking at the tall doorstep, he was a little afraid, so he tried his best to enunciate each word clearly: "Uncle, this letter was delivered by a masked man, he said that he had read the letter before, whether it works or not, he still has to give him an answer."

The gatekeeper sized him up, "You're with the thieves, right? Why did you run errands for him? "

The child was so scared that he quickly kneeled on the ground, "Great sir, that thief captured my brother. He said that if I don't deliver the letter, he will never see my brother again. If I don't bring my brother back, my parents will definitely beat me to death."

He started to cry, but at this moment, a shout came from outside the door, "Open the door, the prince has come out."

The main gate of the Prince Chu Palace was usually closed, but when people walked in and out, the side gates opened. Only when Morong Gan was about to step out, the main gate opened.

The servant hurriedly reprimanded the child, "Stop messing around, your highness is out of doors, hide away." After the events of the past two days, everyone knew the attitude of the Prince Chu towards the wangfei, so the letter today probably would not interest the king. The servant did not intend to report it, so as to not delay the proceedings of the king.

Mo Rong saw a child sitting on the doorstep, being dragged away by a servant from afar. He felt a little strange, his reputation was not good, the children in Lin An city would rather take a detour than hit the door of the Chu Clan. This child was not afraid of him.

At the door, he pulled on the reins and asked condescendingly, "What's going on? Why are you making such a ruckus?"

Since the Prince asked, the servant could only answer truthfully. After Morong Gan heard this, he asked the child, "Do you want an answer, a message, or a note?"

The child timidly leaned against the door, not daring to look him in the eye. "That masked Han was afraid that I wouldn't be able to explain it to him. If I write it down, it will be written down in that letter."

Morong Gan asked, "Is he not afraid that I will send people to follow you?"

"That man just told me where to put the letter, and I let him go, and he let my brother go after he finished his mission."

"Still, I surrounded the place where you put the letter. Didn't he catch you as soon as he appeared?"

The child blinked, "That's none of my business. It's even better if I catch him. I was afraid that he wouldn't keep his word."

Morong Gan sized him up, "Where are you from? "What's your last name?"

The child said, "My surname is Niu and my family lives in Ox-Head Mountain Village. My family has my parents and sister, as well as a younger brother. Today, I came out to play with my younger brother and met him.

"How did you get here?"

"He brought me here on horseback."

"Then how are you going to get back?"

"I have an uncle in the city. I told him to take me and my brother back with him."

There were no flaws in answering the question, Morong Gan said to the servant, "Bring him to the Head Steward, write down the answer."

The servant asked, "If Head Steward asks how to write it …"

Morong Gan thought for a while, then said: "I don't have any money, just take it away."

Morong Gan pulled on the reins and walked two steps before turning his head back, "It's because he was so frightened today, let the Head Steward give us some money to suppress him."

When the big dog heard this, it immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master!"

When Morong Gan walked far away, the servant brought the big dog to meet Hao Pingguan, and told him the meaning of the prince. Of course Hao Pingguan would not say anything, he just wrote out those words and passed it to the big dog, and even warned him, "Take it well, don't lose it, or your brother will not be able to return after losing it."

The big dog held the letter and didn't move his feet. Barbara looked at him and said, "The master told me to give him the money to calm down. If you don't believe him, ask him." As he spoke, he pointed at the attendant.

However, Hao Pingguan pretended not to listen. Giving him two small amounts of money, he was too embarrassed to report it to the public, after all, he was just a little kid, it would be fine if he could fool him, but he did not expect the little kid to be so cunning, if he did not give it to him, he directly asked for it. In the end, Hao Pingguan was still a Head Steward from Prince Chu Palace, so he could not afford to lose this person, so he took out a small piece of silver and gave it to him.

Although the big dog didn't have a good answer after he was done, he was still happy after getting the reward.

Ergou things did not go smoothly. Although Prime Minister Bai was in the manor, the gatekeeper refused to report to him because the Fifth Miss was already married. Whether he lived or died did not matter to Bai Family. Furthermore, even if he did not get married, Fifth Miss was not a person he liked. Madame Bai viewed her as a thorn in his side, and couldn't wait for her to disappear.

Ergou was not in a hurry. If he was not allowed to enter, he would die waiting at the door. If the Prime Minister Bai wanted to go up to court, he would come out.

However, when he was waiting for an old woman to come to the Prime Minister Bai, she came over and asked him a question. The gatekeeper told him the truth and the old woman looked at him with contempt and said, "Come in, I will bring you to the Prime Minister."

When Ergou heard that there was a chance, he immediately perked up and followed her inside with the letter. The Prime Minister Bai's Mansion was very high, the old granny brought him to walk left and right, and then entered a luxurious courtyard. Inside the hall sat a richly dressed woman, drinking tea with her orchid shaped fingers, and upon seeing him enter, she first frowned, "Why did you bring a little beggar in."

Ergou said, "I'm not a little beggar, I'm here to deliver a letter."

He handed the letter over. Madame Bai did not take it, but stared at him coldly with her eyes closed.

The old woman went over and bent down to whisper something in her ear. Madame Bai's wrinkled brows relaxed, "Let me take a look."

Red Lotus opened the letter and presented it in front of her. Madame Bai glanced at it and could not help but laugh, "For two hundred and fifty gold, she really likes it." Second Dog asked, "If we don't pay up, will we tear the tickets?"

"I'm not sure about that, I'm only responsible for sending messages. They captured my brother, and if I don't agree, they won't let him go, but if I can't bring my brother home today, my parents will beat me to death. Aunt, please do me a favor and tell me if you want to pay me or not, I'm waiting for you to bring the letter back so I can trade with my brother."

The Madame Bai came from a eunuch's house, and after studying in the private school for two years, she had learned how to write. When Mo Gan was done, he had Red Lotus fold the letter and hand it over to Ergou.

Ergou turned around and was about to leave when the Madame Bai called out, "You still can't leave? I'll find a place for you to sit. When it's time, I'll naturally let you go."

Ergou was shocked, "Eldest Aunt, I am just a messenger. Why did you lock me up? I was waiting for the letter to be exchanged for my brother."

"Don't worry, I won't let you stay for too long," Madame Bai waved her hand, "Take him to the woodshed, and release him after the morning break." She then said to Ergou, "Don't come out again this time, or I'll break your legs!"

When she said this, her eyes were wide open, her eyelids drooped. She looked like an evil woman. Ergou spat at her in his heart and angrily scolded her as he walked.
