Chapter 62: Appearing
After breaking the formation, the night road seemed to be much easier, and after a while, Shan Jian followed the chasing bee to a small house, with two red lanterns hanging on the door of the house, which was a little weird in the night light.
The single sword added a bit of caution and gently slammed the door.
More than a dozen chasing bees flew over the fence to the house, Xu Suyao suddenly chuckled, a little curious about Song's mother's reaction to being surrounded by more than a dozen chasing bees.
You know, when she shot an arrow into the house, Mother Song was completely silent!
It's a pity that Xu Suyao was disappointed, because after a while, there was a terrible scream, and the voice full of anger was mixed with a bit of old age and familiarity, which was Mother Song's voice.
Xu Suyao showed a somewhat mocking smile and gave Steward Zhou a look, and Steward Zhou took a few strong men to prepare to break the door forcibly.
At this time, there was the sound of a group of people walking, which was particularly ear-catching at night.
Xu Suyao nodded at Steward Zhou, and Steward Zhou let the person behind him take a few steps back, and then said loudly: "A certain is the housekeeper of Xu Mansion in the capital, and I have come to find the old lady in the house, I hope the master will make it convenient!" ”
A sparkling light was printed over the house, and then it slowly lit up, Xu Suyao stared at the door, and there was a squeak in her ears, and the door of the house was opened by two people.
Xu Suyao looked coldly at the person standing in the middle, and under the warm yellow light, she vaguely felt a bit of nostalgia and heartache from his gaze.
The heartache seemed to be contagious, which made Xu Suyao's heart shrink in distress, and she hurriedly shifted her gaze to look at some other people.
They are all well-trained people who don't change their faces!
Restrained her expression, Xu Suyao slowly spoke: "The palace learned the news today, saying that the old lady of our mansion is a guest in your mansion, and I hope that the master will make it convenient, the old man is not in good health, and there are many inconveniences in your mansion, so it is better to let the old man go back to the house with the palace." ”
Pretending to hear the buzzing of chasing bees again, Xu Suyao pretended to be surprised and asked: "What kind of sound is this, it makes people panic and infiltrate!" ”
The person in the middle had a bitter face, which actually shocked Xu Suyao's heart, why did he feel that this person was very familiar with the original owner, and it seemed that every move could resonate with the original owner?
Before he had time to think about it, he heard the man say earnestly: "Your county lord, I still hope to forgive my sins for the previous abruptness, and the person who was rude to your county lord has already been disposed of, if your county lord is not satisfied, you can add some gold and silver property, and I hope your county lord will accept it with a smile." ”
As he spoke, four or five people came out carrying two boxes, and when they opened them, they were shining with golden light, blinding the eyes of many people.
Xu Suyao instantly sobered up and squinted slightly at the person in the middle. It turned out that the man was not familiar with the original owner, but he knew it well!
Who would have thought that a man would do some tricks of demagogy?
Knowing the root cause, Xu Suyao stabilized her mind, and when she looked at the man in the middle again, she only felt that it was all discord, her heart was already much calmer, and her voice was a little colder: "Your Excellency is really ill-intentioned, this palace took a group of people out of the city empty-handed, and everyone knows it, Your Excellency gave these two boxes of gold and silver out, didn't you push this palace into the fire pit?" Tsk tsk, Your Excellency's sincerity is so, it seems that there is no need to talk deeply! ”
"Wait!" The man didn't know that Xu Suyao had seen through his tricks, and still said with affection and affection, "Your county lord, Mother Song is a life-saving benefactor, and I hope that your county lord will spare her life, and she can guarantee her life, Mother Song will never have other behaviors that will affect your county lord!" ”
Xu Suyao's eyes deepened, whether it was true or false, whether it was sincere or hypocritical, what did it matter?
After rubbing the golden whip on her waist for a long time, Xu Suyao said lightly: "Your Excellency's words are sincere, and this palace can't help but be moved, but the whereabouts of the grandmother of this palace are still unknown, and there are also secret people who send a letter, pointing out that Mother Song, an insider, is here, how can this palace ignore the life of your grandmother and let Mother Song go?" ”
The smile on the man's face was a little unbearable, knowing that Xu Suyao was using an excuse, but he couldn't point it out.
"Your county lord, Mother Song is familiar with the old lady, and she chatted a few more words, your county lord should not be too careful-besides, the old lady is a distinguished guest of our house, how can there be a reason to treat slowly?"
"En......" pretending to think about it, Xu Suyao looked at Shan Jian, Di Geng, and then at Steward Zhou, and finally fixed her eyes on Di Geng, "Mr. Di, what do you think?" The night is deep, the old lady is asleep, if she is disturbed and wakes up, isn't it the unfilial piety of the palace? ”
Di Geng stroked his beard and smiled: "What your county lord said is extremely true! ”
"Yes!" Xu Suyao turned her head and smiled lightly at the man in the middle, "Since Your Excellency said so, this palace will naturally not question it more, so let's do it, Your Excellency will give this house to this palace, and immediately leave this place with a group of people for three hundred miles, this palace will forgive your previous sin of disrespect, as for that Song mother, this palace will let her go for the time being!" ”
A person beside the man hurriedly stepped forward: "Your county lord don't bully others!" ”
This is a stronghold of theirs, how can they abandon it at will? Besides, the people in this house say that there are not many people, and there are many people who say less, and they have to walk three hundred miles to transfer in the middle of the night, which is too much!
The man quickly understood Xu Suyao's concerns, put away the disguise of bewitchment, and said with emotion: "Your county lord is really smart, and I admire it." ”
After a sincere bow with his fists in his hands, the man had already made a gesture to the crowd and told them to pack up their things.
Xu Suyao retreated farther with fifty or sixty people behind her, and half an hour later, she saw the group of people coming out, and there was a buzzing in a sedan chair in the middle, it was Mother Song.
Xu Suyao looked at their figures walking away, and her eyes became deeper and deeper.
When he couldn't see their backs, Steward Zhou stepped forward and said, "Your county lord, isn't this inappropriate?" If there is something different in the house, aren't we wolves? ”
"Steward Zhou, you can only do business, and you don't know anything about strategy, right?" , Di Geng understood Xu Suyao's thoughts better, and already grinned and said, "That man speaks very cunningly, every sentence is logical, if we forcibly take the old lady back to the house, your county lord, the eldest son, and the Lord Xu will not be able to run away from the charge of unfilial piety, and the Xu Mansion will bear the reputation, and this matter is very easy to be used." It is better to let the old lady stay here temporarily and avoid this limelight. ”
Xu Suyao smiled secretly, as long as she avoided the limelight of the competition between the Shuyun Society and the Shufu Society, after all, if the old lady returned to the Xu Mansion tonight, she and Xu Siming would never be able to leave the mansion tomorrow.
Although I thought so in my heart, in the end it was the grandmother of the original owner, Xu Suyao took more than a dozen people into the house, and looked around, and found that those people were really clean, but I felt a little pity - all the bright gold and silver were taken away, it was really stingy!
As soon as her spirit relaxed, Xu Suyao was sleepy, and when Mama Leng saw it, she stepped forward and said, "Your county lord, go back and rest early, it's not too early." ”
