Changsheng was very afraid of Ni Chenyi, either because he disliked her or because he was afraid of her because this guy was so courageous.
He definitely wouldn't be able to run away, and even if he ran on the first day of junior high school, he wouldn't be able to run on the fifteenth day. At present, Ni Chenyi and others were still two or three miles away from Baoqing Inn, and it would take a while to find the upstairs. Before that, he had to think about how to face Ni Chenyi, and Just how to treat her.
But after much deliberation, he couldn't figure out the reason. Ni Chenyi had already pierced the window paper. He couldn't pretend to be confused no matter how much he wanted to. There was no other way, just take it one step at a time.
It didn't take long for Ni Chenyi to find her. Several of her followers did not go upstairs with her. It was the shop owner Li Zongyuan who personally brought her up.
Knocking on the door and opening the door, Ni Chenyi turned around and said "Thank you" to Li Zongyuan after entering the door, then closed the door behind her back, not worrying that Li Zongyuan would think too much about it.
Ni Chenyi turned around and smiled at Changsheng, "Why did you come here? I've been waiting for you for several days."
"Something happened on the way and I was delayed." Chang Sheng smiled awkwardly.
"Hurry up and clean up. I'll take you to see my father." Ni Chenyi said.
"Ah?" Changsheng frowned in shock, "What are you doing to see your father?"
Ni Chenyi was also cheerful, "I told my dad that I have someone I like and he wants to see you."
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, Changsheng no longer cared about Ni Chenyi's feelings, "Why don't you ask me if I like you too?"
Ni Chenyi was not angry either. He pulled up the wooden chair and sat down, "You are still young and ignorant. When you get older, you will understand. Besides, it doesn't matter whether you like me or not. The important thing is that I like you."
"Then you can't force me." Changsheng frowned and squinted.
I don't know whether it was because he returned to the door or because he had no worries after leaving Longhu Mountain, Ni Chenyi became more courageous, "Forcing you? How can I force you? If I force my bow, that would be called forcing you."
"Are you threatening me?" Chang Sheng suddenly felt fear.
"Haha, no, no, anyway, I have already told my father, you can't avoid it," Ni Chenyi urged, "Okay, pack up quickly, go there early, take away your things, and you can live there from now on. At home."
Chang Sheng was forced to have no choice but to refuse directly, "I won't go."
"You really don't want to go?" Ni Chenyi raised an eyebrow and asked.
Changsheng had seen Ni Chenyi's methods, and was afraid that she would do something even more outrageous, so he hurriedly explained, "I won't hide the truth from you. I got into trouble. On the way here, some people in the world slandered me for stealing their things. , I took action, and it won’t be long before the government comes looking for me.”
"Then we have to leave quickly," Ni Chenyi said. "It will be safe if you go to Ni's house. My father still has some reputation in Chang'an, and the government will never dare to go to the house to take someone away."
"I can't cause you any trouble," Changsheng shook his head and said, "I will definitely not go with you now. I am very tired from traveling all the way. Please allow me to rest for a few days and wait until I feel better before I can follow you to see your father-in-law. "
"No, you will regret it," Ni Chenyi stood up, "Let's go, leave now."
Seeing that Ni Chenyi was about to take action again, Changsheng was anxious and wise, "Okay, just go. You forced me to do it. I will talk nonsense when I go to the house. If it makes your father-in-law unhappy, don't blame me."
Changsheng's words had an effect. Ni Chenyi frowned and tilted his head, looking at him coldly.
Although she stopped Ni Chenyi, Changsheng herself regretted it. She shouldn't have said these words. Once she said it, she couldn't do it. The correct way was to follow Ni Chenyi to Ni Mansion, and then talk nonsense to her father Ni Zuo, and let Ni Ni Feeling that he was unreliable, it was up to Ni Tuo to stop her, but now that he had said it, he couldn't do it. In order to get through the predicament at hand, he wasted a good way.
After all, Ni Chenyi was older than Chang Sheng. Seeing that he was really impatient, she stopped forcing him, "Okay, I will listen to you. I won't go today. You can rest for a while. I haven't been back to Chang'an for a long time. I’ll take you out for a walk later.”
Changsheng also knew that Ni Chenyi could not be driven away, so he could only nod in agreement, "Okay."
Chang Sheng has never stayed in such a nice inn. In addition to the bedroom, there is also a living room and a clean room. The clean room not only has a toilet, but also a bathtub and a basin.
Seeing that Changsheng seemed to be looking for something, Ni Chenyi guessed that he was looking for water, so he walked over and pulled the rope on the right side of the purification center, "The other end of this rope hangs down, and there is a small gong at the end. If you use water Just pull this one, and if you want to replace the toilet, pull the one on the left.”
Changsheng had never seen such a clever arrangement before, and was very surprised. However, Ni Chenyi was used to these things. He walked around the room at will, picking up the furnishings and utensils in the room to take a look at them, and then put them down, with disgust in his eyes.
Not long after, the waiter actually brought warm water, not one waiter, but a dozen or so, each carrying two steaming wooden buckets. They filled the basin and bathtub directly after entering the house.
At this moment, Changsheng felt like a bumpkin. He had never thought that there would be so many guys in an inn. After the guys left respectfully, Changsheng asked Ni Chenyi, "How many copper coins does it cost to live in this kind of accommodation for a day?"
"Five thousand should be enough." Ni Chenyi said casually.
"Ah? Five taels of silver?" Changsheng stared in shock, "Five taels of silver can buy a horse."
Ni Chenyi disagreed, "There are three meals here, and five taels of silver is not expensive."
Seeing Chang Sheng's shock, Ni Chenyi added, "The owner of this inn is a layman from Longhu Mountain. They won't charge you money. Even if they do, don't be afraid. I'll pay it for you."
After Ni Chenyi finished speaking, he took off a small cloth bag from his waist and threw it towards Changsheng, "There should be fifty or sixty taels of these golden beans. You can keep them for your expenses."
Chang Sheng hurriedly reached out to catch it and returned it hurriedly, "No, no, I still have some silver with me."
Ni Chenyi pushed it several times, but Changsheng just didn’t want it.
"By the way, have you done everything you promised to Longhu Mountain?" Changsheng asked.
Ni Chenyi said casually, "The pieces of cloth, rice and grain have been sent away long ago, and the silver has also been sent back."
With Ni Chenyi here, Changsheng naturally did not dare to take a bath. After washing his face, he walked out of the purification center and asked, "What exactly does your family do? Why are you so rich?"
"Doing business." Ni Chenyi picked through several fruits on the table.
"Fifty taels of gold is five hundred taels of silver. You just carry it with you casually," Changsheng asked curiously, "How much money does your family have?"
"Are you telling the truth?" Ni Chenyi pretended.
"Ah." Changsheng did not hide the fact that he had never seen the world.
"To be honest, I don't know," Ni Chenyi said with a smile, "but there is an idiom that wealth can rival the country. This should be the case in our family."
"You are so rich, won't the court and government exploit you?" Chang Sheng asked in a low voice.
"They don't need to exploit us. We will give it every year," Ni Chenyi said. "Not only will it be given to the court, but the six ministries and nine divisions will also take our family's money every year. A few days ago, the Shenzhou rebellion was launched. The Ministry of War sent troops to fight against the rebellion, and even borrowed three dollars from our family. Ten thousand liang of military pay.”
"Shenzhou rebellion?" Changsheng asked knowingly.
"Well," Ni Chenyi nodded and said, "Didn't you hear about it on the way? This matter was quite a big deal. The governor of Ganzhou was convicted and imprisoned, and the female family members of the family were sent to a monastery. Who would have thought that the daughter of the governor of Zhao had a lover? General Shenzhou, after learning about this incident, led his men into Chang'an at night and rushed into Pingkangfang in order to rescue Miss Zhao. However, Miss Zhao had lost her innocence and committed suicide after seeing her facelessly. What do you think about Miss Zhao? What did the general do after he died?"
Changsheng didn't answer. Ni Chenyi was talking about Chen Liqiu. He was involved in the whole process and knew more details than Ni Chenyi.
Ni Chenyi continued, "This man burned down Pingkangfang, and thousands of people inside buried Miss Zhao with him. Afterwards, this man broke into various official residences and killed seven people in a row, including the uncle of the current emperor. They were killed by him, and their heads were chopped off and taken away. According to popular speculation, the seven people who were killed might have had their hands on the Miss Zhao family, so the general killed him to avenge the dead. "
Changsheng wanted to ask if the murderer had been caught, but he swallowed his words again. Chen Liqiu must have escaped unscathed, otherwise the court would not have sent troops to fight against the rebellion.
Ni Chenyi pinched a purple fruit and put it into her mouth, "Changsheng, if one day I end up in the same situation as Miss Zhao, will you come to save me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Changsheng shook his head.
"Miss Zhao is so unlucky, but also so lucky, to meet such a man who values love and justice. In order to avenge her, he would fight against everyone in the world. Even death is worth it." Ni Chenyi sighed with envy.
Changsheng didn't answer. Ni Chenyi's words reminded him of the scene that night again.
After coming back to his senses, Changsheng asked, "How are Governor Zhao and his wife doing now?"
"She had been beheaded a long time ago," Ni Chenyi said. "Mrs. Zhao was sent to the laundry. When she learned that Governor Zhao had been beheaded, she hanged herself from a beam that night."
Changsheng sighed speechlessly.
Ni Chenyi added, "I heard that the general's surname was Chen, and he must have been a good man. In order to help him leave the city, several captains who came with him fought to the death and resisted the enemy. They fended off hundreds of pursuing soldiers, and finally all died in the battle. Outside Chang'an City."
"Since you admire him so much, why do you still want to lend money to the Ministry of War to encircle and suppress him?" Changsheng asked.
Ni Chenyi smiled and said, "The Ministry of War wanted to borrow 200,000 taels, but my father was not willing to do so. I took the opportunity to persuade them. In the end, I only gave them 30,000 taels. What can 30,000 taels do? It is only half of an army of 30,000. Month’s rations.”
"Oh." Changsheng nodded.
"By the way, I heard that a masked man was traveling with him on the day of the incident. He was riding a black horse when he left." Ni Chenyi tilted his head and looked at Changsheng, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"Why do you suspect that you have something to do with me?" Chang Sheng asked calmly.
"Because you also have a dark horse," Ni Chenyi shook his head and said, "No, it can't be you. Your dark horse has just been weaned and can't carry people."
As soon as Ni Chenyi finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Ni Chenyi asked angrily, "Who is it?"
"Miss, it's me." Someone answered outside the door.
The person who knocked on the door should be a servant of the Ni Mansion. Ni Chenyi asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"Miss, a group of officers and soldiers came downstairs, and they also brought a young woman with them, saying..."
Seeing that the visitor was hesitant to speak, Ni Chenyi stood up impatiently, walked to the door and opened the door, "What are they here for?"
"The woman said that she had been insulted, and the officers and soldiers wanted to go downstairs to confront Taoist Master Sansheng..."
