Chapter 40: The Mad Thief Holds Arms During the Day(2/2)
They were all acquaintances. Zhu Pan came over to greet Gao Changtai and said hello to Lao Meng. He behaved elegantly and had a gentle smile. He did not have the gloomy expression that he had when he killed someone on the street that day.
Wang Fo'er was very familiar with Gao Changtai, so he was invited to sit beside Meng Yishan and Gao Houye. Lao Meng greeted Mr. Wang, whom he had not seen for a while, cordially, and Wang Fo'er also congratulated him on his new appointment.
Lao Meng felt quite proud. He looked at Li Qing secretly and thought, "I can still get ahead even if I don't work for your father! It's just that the official position of the ninth rank is too small."
Zhu Pan and Li Qing both sat in front of Meng Yishan and bowed their heads. Zhu Shizi knew that Lao Meng was burning with jealousy, and his eyes stared at his back and glanced up and down.
Li Qing had not seen him since that day when Meng Yishan took advantage of him. Later, he heard that he had quit his job as a head catcher. He originally wanted to meet and ask him why he left the government office, but then he saw Meng Yishan wearing a light green official robe and his head.
Wearing a ninth-grade plume hat, he looks majestic and looks like he has been promoted.
When Qing'er saw Lao Meng talking and laughing with the marquis, she thought that Meng Yishan had resigned from the sect of Magistrate Li and had climbed up another branch. Then he knew that there was a blind date in the palace, and that Meng Yishan drew his sword and cut down the tree to make an oath of alliance.
The prefect's wife has also spoken a lot of good things about Zhu Pan in her daughter's ears these days. As for Meng Yishan, the prefect's wife doesn't even bother to say bad things.
Although Zhu Pan was elegant, Li Qing still had fresh memories of his brutal killing methods that day. What she disliked the most was not this, but Zhu Pan's powerful martial arts, which he could not display until the critical moment of life and death.
Others have always thought that he was weak, and his quiet personality was shocking. If he were with this person, who knows what he would hide from himself in the future? Qing'er was completely disappointed in Zhu Pan.
It was really the prefect's wife's idea that the two of them met this time. Li Qing was feeling depressed in the mansion these days. Hearing that the two masters were competing, he shouted to go and watch. Li Qing sent his servants to inform Zhu Pan.
Asking the prince to protect his daughter when she goes out also means to bring the two of them together. Not to mention that the eldest lady Qing'er originally disliked the prince Zhu, plus her mother hired him to follow him. From the whole journey until now, she has always looked at Zhu Pan with cold eyes.
Good look.
Meng Yishan couldn't help but be very happy when he saw it. Qing'er had a cold attitude towards Zhu Pan, so Lao Meng temporarily put aside his past thoughts of teasing Li Qing and scolding Zhu Shizi.
Besides, I don’t know what happened to Mo Kui’s actions. He was a little anxious, and his absent-minded look reflected on his face.
Wang Jiaoxi had been observing Meng Yishan from the sidelines and saw his expression. Wang Foer smiled and asked Meng Yishan, "Brother Meng, is there something on your mind?"
Meng Yishan quickly denied it and said: "No, I am anxious to see the martial arts competition. Is Brother Wang here to protect Zhu Pan again today?" He quickly changed the topic.
Wang Fo'er said: "I came here specifically to see you. I heard that you were promoted to the position of inspector. The prince was very happy and said that he was right and wanted to recruit you to report!"
