Chapter 104
Jiang You was playing chess with Xue Yuan in the room, she was still excited to win her daughter-in-law on the chessboard at first, but she didn't expect to regret it three times in a row and was pressed to death, and if she wanted to look at it, she would be wiped out.
She sighed, jumped off the stool and opened the door to look, and saw Chonglan being blocked by the guards at the door, standing outside with a stunned face, she waved her hand to let the guards retreat, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter with the shopkeeper?" ”
Chonglan leaned forward and wanted to talk to her, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he straightened up and said, "Zhang Jianjun, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Jiang You nodded, and let her into the house sideways, Chonglan saw that Xue Yuan was also there, and opened her mouth slightly, as if she didn't expect the two to be so close, but she bowed her head with great eyes and saluted respectfully.
Jiang You invited her to sit down, tilted his head and asked, "What's the matter with the shopkeeper?" ”
Chonglan didn't know why, seeing that Xue Yuan was always a little uncomfortable, so he only looked at Jiang You, coughed and said, "I can't say this clearly, but I just went to the lowest cabin and felt that something was wrong." She told her what she had just encountered, thought about it, and added: "Maybe I'm too careful, but both of them are golden bodies, and there is no room for mistakes, so I specially came to inform the two of them." ”
The three of them are all in the same boat, if something happens to the boat, they can't run on the vast river, she originally thought that even if the two of them didn't panic when they heard it, they would at least be angry and slap the table and scold, but she didn't expect the two of them to look as usual, and they didn't see the slightest difference.
Jiang You smiled kindly at her, and said slowly: "It's hard to worry about the shopkeeper." She turned her head to look at Xue Yuan again: "I didn't expect your method of missing one of the three to really come in handy, now that people have taken the bait, what are you going to do?" ”
Xue Yuan glanced at her leisurely: "We have been living in Hefu these days, this group of homeless people and chaotic parties can't find a chance to start, and they will definitely not let go of this great opportunity for us to go to Yangzhou." ”
The three of them went to the dock surrounded by the guards, and saw that the building ship was burned to the ground and only a shelf remained, Chonglan grinned distressedly, but still carefully hid himself behind the guards.
There was still a small group of people on the boat who were still resisting, Jiang You had excellent eyesight, and saw that one of them was the leader of the bandits who was very similar to Xue Yuan, and that person also saw Xue Yuan standing on the shore, and suddenly let out a low shout, and the short sword in his hand shot over.
Xue Yuan didn't dodge or dodge, and when the short sword came closer, he raised his sleeves lightly, and the short sword was turned to the side and fell weakly.
The man was also resolute, and when he saw that he had been hit by an ambush and missed another blow, he simply turned around and jumped off the boat, and he was wounded, and immediately a cloud of blood rose on the surface of the river.
Xue Yuan narrowed his eyes and commanded the people around him: "Chase, if you live to see people die, you must see corpses." ”
The people below took the order, Jiang You looked at the almost burned boat, sighed and asked, "The boat is gone, how can we go?" Do you want to take the dry road? ”
Xue Du had no last resort, of course, he would not be stumped by this little thing, and the group stayed in Yizheng for a long time, then saw another merchant ship coming to pick up at the dock, and it took two days to arrive in Yangzhou.
The two of them got out of the boat side by side, and they saw a group of officials standing on the dock, Yi Zheng had such a big matter, Jiang You didn't expect to hide it from these magistrates, but he was still startled when he saw such a big pomp, and whispered to Xue Yuan: "What's going on?" Could it be that my identity has been known? ”
Xue Yuan didn't say anything, his face sank slightly, and he saw that the four-grade senior officer with Yun Yan embroidered on the first complement bowed, and the officials behind him also bent down.
Jiang You was really taken aback this time, did this group of officials really know her identity? If not, why do you kneel down to greet each other, you must know that in addition to the emperor, even the prince does not have this treatment.
She was pondering here, when she heard a group of officials who came to greet her say in unison: "Welcome to the factory!" ”
What kind of power and what courtesy, at the beginning, Xiaozong didn't care about anything, and the power fell on him, he didn't see this pompous formation, it turned out to be just a few words of reprimand, and now he made a fuss in front of Jiang You, and his face was like frost.
Jiang You came back to his senses after being stunned, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes kept sinking, and he took a deep breath: "Let's go down, it's not good for people to kneel like this." ”
She knew that these people were weak on their knees, but she still couldn't stop being angry in her heart, she didn't know if she was angry with the imperial power, or angry at herself, her expression was a little complicated when she went down, and she stumbled a few steps without paying attention, and was supported by Xue Yuan.
The two got off the boat together, and the official with Yun Yan embroidered on the patch was named Haixi, in his fifties, with a rich appearance and three strands of flowing hair under his chin. Seeing this, he hurriedly greeted him, without half the style of a fourth-grade official, and half-bent over in a very flattering manner: "It's rare for a godfather to come, I've been waiting here to welcome my godfather for a long time, just waiting to give your old man a pick-up." ”
The eunuchs of the Qi Dynasty were powerful, and the civil officials were not all tall and arrogant, and there were not a few civil officials who were eunuchs, but it was really rare to see such a clear confession. When Jiang You heard this, his eyes widened in astonishment, and then he wrinkled his brows tightly.
This person used to have a lot of stammering in Beijing, and the New Year's rituals were not missing, and he even compiled a family tree to confirm that he was related to him, and immediately wanted to recognize him as a godfather, and he almost wanted to climb up to the point of madness, although he was despised, but he was too lazy to bother with this kind of person.
Xue Yuan only looked at Jiang You's thin and angry face, and his cold face was not angry: "Ridiculous! You are a big party member, and you speak and act so unruly, wouldn't it be a shame for the court! ”
Haixi didn't notice Jiang You on the side at all, and thought that he was not well entertained, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, yes, it's all from the lower officials." He raised his hand and gestured to please, "I heard that the factory boss was coming, and the lower officials specially prepared a reception banquet in the house, and also hoped that the factory would reward the face, so that I could wait for the friendship of the landlord." “
