Chapter 265 City Lord Ci Mingxin and His "Dandy" Cousin Ci Yang

Ci Song didn't quite understand what his teacher was doing, but he still listened to the conversation between the two silently.

"Mr. Ning is a literary giant, the pinnacle of the entire literary world. I have benefited a lot from chatting with him." The city lord said with emotion.

"Really? His old man has recently been investigating the truth behind the death of Uncle Ci Qi Bai's children. I wonder if he has asked Mr. City Lord?" Ning Ping'an smiled slightly and asked seemingly casually.

"He asked, and I tried my best to cooperate with the investigation. But what happened that day was too bizarre, and I don't know the specific situation."

The city lord sighed, and then said with regret in his tone: "Qi Bai's adopted sons are all good people, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing. They are really jealous of their talents."

Hearing this, Ci Song suddenly became alert. His teacher was deliberately criticizing him, telling him that the city lord in front of him was related to the deaths of his brothers and sisters. And the relationship between the man in front of him and his father must not be good, otherwise, his father would not fail to mention this uncle to him in the past ten years.

"It's not in vain that Qi Bai has been praying for Xiao Song in the Confucius Temple all these years, so that he can grow up safely."

The city lord directed the conversation to Ci Song, then looked at Ci Song lovingly and said, "My name is Ci Mingxin, just call me Uncle Xin."

"Uncle Xin." Ci Song took advantage of the situation and called out.

"Come on, do it quickly."

Ci Mingxin brought Ci Song and Ning Changsheng into the main hall. On both sides of the main hall, there were two maids standing, holding jade plates in their hands, with various spiritual fruits and fine wines placed on them.

After sitting down, Ci Mingxin said: "Xiao Song, I heard someone said that your father is traveling again?"

"Yes, Uncle Xin." Ci Song responded.

"Oh, it's true that your father is always traveling. He has been away from home for many years and doesn't know how to take care of his children."

Ci Mingxin sighed, then looked at Ci Song and asked: "By the way, Xiao Song, I heard someone said that you have now become a student of Yan Sheng Academy, and you also wrote a poem for the deceased daughter of the Ning family in Zhongzhou City. "This poem of mourning has been regarded as a masterpiece by Zhongzhou literati. I wonder if this is the case?"

"That's exactly what happened." Ci Song was slightly startled. He didn't expect that his condolences would have spread so quickly, even reaching Xizhou City hundreds of miles away.

But then he thought about it, did this mean that his uncle had been secretly spying on him?

"Ten years of life and death are uncertain. I can't forget it without thinking about it. If I had such literary talent, I would definitely be able to write poems into ink." Ci Mingxin said with emotion.

"Cai Shu of the Song Dynasty..."

"Hey, it turns out that this is my cousin Ci Song, the most famous dandy of the Liang Kingdom?"

Just when Ci Song wanted to answer modestly, a young man wearing black brocade clothes walked in from outside the hall.

This young man looked to be about the same age as Ci Song. He had a cynical smile on his face, and he had the temperament of a playboy.

After he walked into the main hall, his eyes fell on Ci Song, and then laughed loudly and said: "Uncle Bai's method is still clever. It only took one month to remove the stigma of my cousin." It turned into a good name. It’s really enviable.”

"Ci Yang, don't be rude!" Ci Mingxin scolded.

"Where am I rude? Am I wrong? Isn't he the number one dude in the Liang Kingdom? How did he become a talented man now? All this is because of Uncle Bai." Ci Yang glanced at Ci Song with disdain and said road.

"You evil deed, if you are rude again, don't blame me for not caring about family affection!"

Ci Mingxin was so angry that he was shaking all over. This evildoer has been a playboy since he was a child, and now he has become even worse. He is simply lawless.

"Huh, I'm just telling the truth. Why should you be angry?"

Ci Yang curled his lips disdainfully, then looked at Ci Song and said, "Little cousin, why are you suddenly interested in coming to our tiny place? Is it because you can't stay in Zhongzhou City anymore?"

"I'm sorry, we don't welcome you in Xizhou City either. You can leave. Our temple here is small and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you."

A joking smile appeared on Ci Yang's face.

Ci Song didn't say much, he just looked at Ci Yang quietly, as if he were looking at a clown. To deal with such a rude clown, you only need to look at him calmly, and he will feel ashamed and fall into an incompetent rage. among.

"What is your look like? Am I right?"

Ci Yang frowned slightly. He felt that Ci Song looked at him like an idiot, which made him very uncomfortable.

"I still say what I said, you are not welcome here! Please leave!"

"enough!"

Ci Mingxin shouted loudly, slammed the table, stood up and shouted: "You are used to being arrogant, get out of here!"

Ci Yang was scolded by Ci Mingxin, and his face suddenly became ugly. He wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.

"You will be punished by copying the entire Analects of Confucius." Ci Mingxin continued to scold.

"I'm going to get out of here, as far away as I can." Ci Yang flicked his sleeves, turned around and left the hall.

When he walked to the door, Ci Yang snorted coldly, "I still say the same thing, you are not welcome in Xizhou City, get out as soon as possible!"

"Ten times!"

As Ci Mingxin's voice came out, Ci Yang stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Then he glared at Ci Song fiercely before leaving the hall.

In the hall, Ci Mingxin sighed, and then said: "Sorry, Xiao Song, your cousin is like this. He is arrogant and looks down on others because he has some talent in literature. But he is not a bad person. Don't bother with him."

"Uncle Xin, what are you talking about? How can I bother with him?"

"Good, you are generous."

Ci Mingxin praised, and then began to chat with Ci Song. They were all some basic homely polite words. Ci Song also began to observe Ci Mingxin.

But Ci Song did not see anything unusual. This city lord, except for doting on Ci Yang, did not have any abnormalities. At least at this moment, he did not show any ambitions.

Of course, this may be because he hid too deeply, or it may be because Ci Song's experience was not enough to see his abnormality.

But no matter what, Ci Song remained vigilant against Ci Mingxin.

"You have finally come to Xizhou City, you should stay for a few days. My general's mansion doesn't have much else, but there are plenty of empty rooms. You must stay."

Ci Song wanted to refuse. After all, he still needed to travel. Even if Ci Mingxin had a problem, he didn't need to investigate it himself. But he heard Ning Ping'an's voice in his ears: "There are some things you need to find out. We will set off again after seven days."

"Then Ci Song will bother you for a few days. Thank you for troubling Uncle Xin."
