Chapter 111: City
Missing?
The familiar four words came, accompanied by a feeling of palpitations, and Ah Yao fainted directly.
"A-Yao!"
Song and Hu Jiuling exclaimed at the same time, the former hurriedly ordered Qingshuang to step forward to support her, and then shouted loudly to invite Lang Zhong.
Hu Jiuling was also anxious, but he still had to stay in the front yard to deal with the officials who came to report the news. Xiao Hou Ye comforted him, of course, he was worried, but he was more worried about what A-Yao's reaction would say, and what people outside would think.
"It's hard work, but this matter is a big matter, and it can't be passed on." The purse was handed over, and he punned on it.
The fierce reaction of the girl of the Hu family was really as her master guessed...... Thinking of this, the official who came to report the news looked at the backyard with a more solemn expression. The girl who can have a relationship with the little marquis, no matter what her status is in the future, the little county government has to be respected.
"Of course."
After exiting the Hu family, the official hurried to the county government to report to the county order.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, because of Shen Moci's relationship, the news of Dingbei Hou's return to distress quickly spread to the Shen family. At that time, Sun and Shen Moci couldn't count the number of rounds of fighting, and Shen Moci, who was engrossed in arranging people to close the net, was overwhelmed, and when Shen Jinshan was moved by Sun again to find fault, he finally quietly revealed some words.
"Dingbei Hou capsized, is this matter serious?"
"Believe it or not, it's all up to Daddy."
Shen Moci didn't have a good airway, and his cheeks, which were originally so beautiful that they had a unique style even if they were angry, looked particularly hideous because of the scars that slanted across his face. Frightened by her, Shen Jinshan no longer questioned it, and after being convinced of this, he fell into ecstasy.
"That wolf cub who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, he doesn't talk much, he has so much money as my Shen family, and he has done a lot of evil, and now he has finally received retribution."
Yang Tian smiled, because he was too excited, his fat facial features during his recuperation looked a little hideous, and for a while he was a little similar to King Ping, Shen Moci was disgusted for a while, and directly opened his mouth to send off the guest:
"Since it's okay, Daddy, please go back. Recently, my daughter has something important to do and must not be disturbed. ”
"Okay, don't worry, Daddy will order to go down and cook the best dishes for you, and no one is allowed to come to this courtyard without your instructions. Whoever eats the bear's heart and leopard dares to disturb you, Daddy is the first not to bypass him. ”
After repeated assurances, Shen Jinshan withdrew lightly. Because he was too happy, after Shen Moci hit a wall, he rarely didn't go back to the main room to trouble Sun, but sang a little song all the way back to the study. But most of this joy disappeared after entering the study.
The reason is very simple, although he advertises frugality, Shen Jinshan never treats himself harshly, and the study room where he stays most often on weekdays is extremely rich. But before the auction, the little marquis took the deed of the Shen family's ancestral mansion and moved away all the valuable things in the study half negotiating, half threatening. Now as far as the eye can see, the gold-painted Bogu shelf is empty, and several carefully collected and famous wolf hairs in the jade-inlaid pen holder have also been swept away, and only an empty shelf is left in the study that has been proud of half a life.
Normally, when he saw this scene, his whole heart was dripping blood, but now he was fighting high.
"The boat capsized in the Tiger Prison Gorge, I haven't heard of anyone who can survive in these years, and the little marquis is dead. The old fox has lost his backer, and it will be interesting to see how proud he will be in the future. ”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt reasonable, he couldn't sit still anymore, and ordered Steward Shen to prepare the car, and he rushed to the county office.
After seeing the county order, he tried his best, starting from the huge annual profits of Qingcheng Silk City, and then comparing Hu Jiuling's impersonal feelings and his rich everyone earned, in short, he turned over and over again in one sentence: Follow him Shen Jinshan has money to make.
Money can make ghosts grind, Rao is county commander was afraid of the majesty of his boss Pan Zhizhou at the beginning, and he did not mince words about Shen Jinshan, which was also attracted by the mountains of gold and silver depicted by his seven-inch tongue.
"Master Shen, don't be in a hurry......"
Just as he was about to make a promise, he reported from outside the door that the official who had sent the order to the Hu Mansion had returned.
Thinking of something faintly, the county commander was distracted, avoiding Shen Jinshan and walking next door. After listening to the reaction of the Hu family girl, a cold sweat broke out on his back for no reason.
"The last time Yunlailou feasted guests, it was clear that in order to take care of the Hu family's girl, Dingbei Hou simply didn't let Xiao Er drink, and there were many other actions, which were obviously intentional about him. And now the girl of the Hu family has reacted, and the two are clearly happy with each other. Mo said that the news of Dingbeihou's death had not yet come, and even if it was confirmed, it would be easy for the forces behind him to clean up the official. What was the county thinking just now, it was moved by Shen Jinshan's little profit. ”
I was afraid, wiped the cold sweat on my forehead and returned to the next door, facing Shen Jinshan, and the county order was righteous.
"Everything before came according to the laws of Great Xia, if Master Shen is not convinced, he has to come up with a convincing reason. As for Qingcheng Silk City, as the commander of Qingcheng County, this official has the responsibility to maintain the peace of the party, and the official has the right not to hear those words of Master Shen. ”
Even if he was biased towards the Hu family, after all, he was an official, and the county order still left three points of leeway in the end.
thought that Shen Jinshan should say goodbye when it came to this, but he underestimated the urgency of the drowning man after grabbing the driftwood.
"Lord County Commander, we weren't all fine a few years ago. What is Tiger Prison Gorge that you don't know? If something happened to Dingbeihou, can the officials of this state get out of the way? The emperor blames you, who else can save you? Shen is not talented, and he befriended His Royal Highness King Ping, and he happened to be able to talk to the emperor and his old man over there. ”
Is this still a threat? The county magistrate was furious.
"Master Shen is really confused, he forgot that he was born in this county. This county is the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and when he added Enke, he obtained the top three with the Jinshi, and even the teachers were promoted by the emperor. Mo said that now he is just a seven-grade sesame official, even if the official position is bigger, he will not be at ease with such a background. Don't say that Dingbeihou is only missing now, but God really doesn't open his eyes, and there is no possibility of betraying the lord in this county! ”
Pointing at Shen Jinshan's head, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master Shen's words have reminded the county, since you can only follow the emperor to the dark, now that the whereabouts of the Marquis of Dingbei are unknown, I Qingcheng also have to search with all my might." ”
After that, he raised the teacup, "Master Shen is light, don't let the county call the official to fork you out of this yamen." ”
Eating the ancients, Shen Jinshan was angry, and he didn't dare to get angry at the local parents. Seeing people sending off guests, he could only walk out in a gloomy manner.
When Shen Jinshan touched a gray nose in the county office, in the backyard of Hu's mansion, after a period of chaos, A-Yao, who fainted after hearing the news, finally came to her senses.
"Where did Brother Jing disappear?"
Guarding by the bedside, Hu Jiuling was silent, and Song's face was full of sorrow, "A-Yao, your body is weak, don't think about this first." ”
How could she not want to, breaking this finger Ah Yao said slowly: "Go all the way up along Jianhu Lake, calculating the time, the fleet almost reached the Tiger Prison Gorge when the accident happened yesterday. ”
Tiger Prison Gorge is exactly where Daddy had an accident in his previous life.
It was the same day, because the best raw silk was not in order, Daddy transferred a large amount of gold and silver from the Hu family's treasury and set off from the Jianhu Wharf to Beijing, trying to get through the relationship and escape punishment. Then, a few days later, news came that the ship of the Hu family's caravan had an accident in the Tiger Prison Gorge, the ships were all burned, and the whereabouts of the people on board were unknown.
The exact same scene was reproduced, the palpitations hit again, and the little face that had just woken up was miserable and white.
"Daddy, my daughter is going to find Brother Jing." There was a resoluteness in her eyes that she had never seen before.
Song subconsciously objected, "Your body is so weak, just cultivate at home and let the nursing home find it." ”
Ah Yao didn't answer, Jin was under the little hand to grab the sheets, and she stared at Hu Jiuling deadly.
"Daddy."
After a long time, Hu Jiuling sighed, "Forget it, it's up to you, but you have to bring that martial master." ”
Thanks to Lu Ping's face, Hu Jiuling, who has been busy, has not yet discovered his true identity.
"Sir!" Song was shocked.
Hu Jiuling shook his head, "Even if you force her to stay at home, you can't keep her heart." Since she wants to go, let her go. ”
With Hu Jiuling's permission, Ah Yao quickly cheered up and let Qingshuang serve to change into a neat robe, and her black hair was also tied into a man's style. At the same time, although Hu Jiuling was open-minded, the whole family was such a baby bump, how could he really rest assured that she was in danger.
Originally, in order to let Song Qinwen not be compared to those eunuchs when he tried the township, he deliberately built a new building boat. The construction period of the ship has just been completed, and it will be transferred out by him, together with other merchant ships of the Hu family, forming a fleet. Although it looks like a huge momentum, it is just a few orders for him, and the sailors guarding the dock are naturally in place, and Ah Yao is ready to change his clothes.
In Song's worried gaze, the family of three went out of the mansion together, and before they could board the carriage and drive towards the dock, two rows of officials came to meet them.
After being woken up by Shen Jinshan, the county commander hurriedly threw himself into the great cause of rescuing the little marquis, and then he found that the county government did not have enough manpower at all. After being reminded by his master, he thought of the merchant ships stationed on the shore of Jianhu Lake, and then naturally thought of the Hu family, the owner of the largest caravan.
Without further ado, he took the official and rushed to Hu's house. When he walked to the door of Hu's house, he saw this battle, and the county was happy.
"Those who know this county, Brother Hu." Happy, he directly called his brother and brother.
The two places hit it off, and the official opened the road and walked to the wharf, which saved half of the time once again after a long journey through the downtown area. Not an hour after waking up, A-Yao took the urgently assembled Hu family fleet to leave Jianhu Wharf and sail all the way upstream.
It took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief when boarding the ship, but when the ship sailed away, the hard days really came.
Seasickness not to mention, after asking Lu Ping and learning that he didn't know Brother Jing's whereabouts, on the silent river, A-Yao completely fell into every moment of worry. At the strictest hour, a wooden plank floated on the river, and she would be worried about whether it would be the body of Brother Jing washed down from the upstream after he was killed.
And after finally falling asleep, she always felt that there was a figure watching her in front of the window, and even grabbed his wrist.
A familiar touch came, and I tried to open my eyes, but there was nothing in front of me.
