56. No, you are not

When the jailer made a statement, Chen Lang opened his body and signaled the jailer to walk past. At this moment, the jailer's back was sweating profusely, and his mind was buzzing, for fear that Chen Lang would do something more.

In fact, if one or two prisoners are killed occasionally, this may happen in any cell of Xu Guo. As long as the person who died suddenly has no background, it will often be left alone.

But now we will face the Beijing inspection soon. No matter how small the matter is, it may be magnified by political enemies. If Teng Qing loses power, the prison guards will definitely be in trouble.

"You can leave now." The jailer came to the old beggar tremblingly and said this in a low voice. Judging from his appearance, he was not as arrogant as before.

"Where is my wine pot, give it to me." The old beggar rubbed the eyes of the two pandas.

flagon?

The jailer had never seen any wine pot before, and he did not expect that the old beggar would make such a request. When he was at a loss, Chen Lang came out to smooth things over: "The wine pot is sold in many places, isn't it nice to buy new ones?"

He said as he winked at the old beggar.

"Okay, then buy a new one." The old beggar was not stupid. When he saw Chen Lang winking, he naturally agreed.

"Let's go out." Chen Lang said softly to the prison guard.

Wow ~

Hearing this sentence, the jailer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The wind was still bright outside, the sun was shining, and the old beggar was emitting an unpleasant smell. Chen Lang held his breath and moved a few steps horizontally.

He pretended to have just asked the prison guard to release the old beggar, so he didn't say anything to the old beggar later, and deliberately pretended to be disgusted.

"Go slowly." The jailer leaned over and bowed with his hands.

His face was very humble, but Chen Lang knew that the prison guard must have scolded Chen Lang countless times.

Facing the sunshine, Chen Lang and the old beggar walked one after another. Walking out of the prison guard's sight, Chen Lang immediately accelerated his pace to catch up with the old beggar, and whispered in a low voice: "Senior, you have been burdened these days."

"Rootless duckweed is home to the world." The old beggar sneered lightly.

But, perhaps because the pain in my heart is hard to hide, the mouth shape of this smile is not completely in place, and the originally profound cold turns into a helpless bitter smile.

Failed to show off...

However, Chen Lang did not underestimate the old beggar because of this. He pointed to an inn next to the road: "I have some urgent matters. Senior, can I go to the inn first, take a shower, drink some wine and rest?"

The old beggar lifted his sleeve and sniffed it. Sure enough, a stimulating smell spread into his nose. He didn't feel it in the cell before, because it smelled very bad everywhere, but it was completely different after it came out.

The two walked into the inn at the same time. Chen Lang asked for the upper room on the ground floor and took two taels of silver for the old beggar to eat, drink and buy new clothes, and he would do whatever he wanted.

After the arrangement was made, Chen Lang rushed to the yamen. It happened that King Jing had just completed other Beijing inspection matters, while Teng Qing stood aside with a flattering face.

Seeing Chen Lang, King Jing raised his head: "How is the other side of the prison cell?"

"No problem." Chen Lang answered quickly.

Upon hearing this, Teng Qing put down the stone hanging in his heart. Outside the court, Chu Mingyuan begged a colleague: "Can you borrow some money to me?"

...

Chen Lang and King Jing bid farewell at the Nancheng Yamen, and then accelerated their pace toward the inn where the old beggar was staying. As soon as they entered the door, Chen Lang rushed straight to the old beggar's room. Unexpectedly, suddenly a hand grabbed him from behind.

who?

Chen Lang turned his head and saw that it was the owner of the inn. The boss took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Chen Lang: "Your friend with messy hair has left, and the remaining money is left in the bag, so I'll give it back to you."

"Where are you leaving?" Chen Lang's eyes widened.

"Well, after taking a shower, he bought a pot of wine and two roast chickens and left leisurely. Before leaving, he told me that I must return the remaining money to you, otherwise he would be uneasy." The inn owner couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

Obviously, inn owners have rarely encountered similar situations over the years.

This is by no means a question of money...

Chen Lang was anxious and pulled the inn owner to ask: "When did he leave? In which direction?"

The inn owner thought for a while: "Leaving about five minutes ago, because I felt that this person was strange, so I paid attention. He should go to the right after going out."

"Thanks!"

Chen Lang casually threw down two words and rushed out of the inn gate. He gritted his teeth and muttered in his heart: I also bought roast chicken and wine after taking a shower, which is very efficient.

Huh?

Chen Lang immediately realized that because he bought roast chicken and wine, the old beggar should be enjoying wine and food in a small alley or corner.

With the direction to look for, Chen Lang was not so anxious. He opened his eyes and looked around, but his stomach started to growl.

Uh ~

At this time, Chen Lang thought that he had not had lunch yet.

In order to save time, Chen Lang bought a few buns with vegetarian dishes at a roadside stall and continued to search.

Where is the old beggar?

Chen Lang felt like he was hitting like a headless fly. However, even if he hit him, he would continue to hit him.

Hard work pays off. Just when Chen Lang ate the vegetarian bun until only half of it was left, he suddenly found an old beggar under a big tree in front of him.

The guy held a wine pot in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right hand. He leaned lazily against the tree with his back, looking comfortable and leisurely.

I'm gonna be!

Chen Lang was furious and didn't care about any etiquette at this moment, so he quickly threw out half of the vegetarian dish bag in his hand.

Whoosh ~

When the old beggar noticed the abnormality, half a vegetarian bun had already flown in front of him. He subconsciously blocked his elbow, so that he could avoid attacking his face.

When he looked up and saw Chen Lang coming in a fierce manner, the old beggar shivered and couldn't help but sigh: "I slipped out of such a long distance, but he was found."

"Bang!"

Chen Lang punched the trunk of the big tree, causing the big tree to tremble suddenly. He browsed and angrily at the old beggar. Chen Lang cursed: "In order to find you, I will eat a few vegetarian buns at noon. You can pour it, there is wine and meat."

The old beggar blinked and handed the chicken leg to Chen Lang with one hand.

"Bang!"

Chen Lang slapped the old beggar's wrist with a palm: "Say, why do you want to escape?"

The old beggar lowered his eyebrows and thought to himself, then pointed his head to the side, which meant that Chen Lang would sit down and say slowly.

Chen Langyu leaned against the big tree in anger, while the old beggar was helpless to explain the reason:

"I understand metaphysics a little, and know that you are not a common person. In the future, you may achieve great achievements that shock the world and the earth. But correspondingly, the danger is also very great. So if you find me, I will hide from you. If you find me again, I may still choose to hide from you."

Humph, this old beggar has a bit of vision. Chen Lang suppressed his anger and asked with a stern face: "What do you call me senior?"

"Xiang Qinglan, who are you?" the old beggar turned his head and asked.

"I am the crown prince of Liang." Chen Lang replied.
