77, King Han
Shen Shu did not answer immediately.
This trip made her feel extremely shocked.
Let's not talk about the extremely strange place I went to before, but it is not a trivial matter to talk about His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun that I heard later.
She settled down slightly, and did not tell Wu Tingyuan about the strange scene before, but only told the situation of the mission that day and the matter of the man in black.
Wu Tingyuan was taken aback.
According to the previous investigation, the target of this mission is the son of the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, who is usually hanging, and the crime of homicide has also been committed. I thought it was just his father's official position was higher, and it shouldn't be a big deal to move. I didn't expect to be directly connected to the emperor's grandson.
This imperial grandson is very popular with the saints today, and his father is the crown prince of the current dynasty, that is, the next monarch. Such a person, offended, is not a joke.
Moreover, this palace battle, throughout the ages, is complicated, and if you are accidentally involved, there will be endless troubles.
Wu Tingyuan pondered for a moment.
It seems that the only way to do this is to explain the situation to the client, abandon the task, and try to get out of it.
"Someone's coming." He called.
A person rushed in, and Wu Tingyuan said, "Ask the client of this mission to meet." ”
"Yes, hall master." The man replied and retired.
Wu Tingyuan turned his head and looked at Shen Shu again.
This woman, no matter what the situation, even in the face of the threat of death, is indifferent, and has never seen her panic or panic. I don't know how to develop such a calm personality?
Today, she had done him a great favor, even though she was now under his control, and she had to do it. But his feeling is that she is not reluctant to do it, so she has to be thanked.
He slowly said to Shen Shu, "Thank you." ”
"It's okay." Shen Shu shook her head, and asked again, "Xu Zi's body, it should be fine, right?" ”
"Her life should be safe, but her injuries are extremely serious, and she doesn't know when she will be able to wake up, and after she wakes up, it will take a long time to recuperate." Wu Tingyuan said.
Shen Shu nodded and slowly stood up, and Yu'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Seeing her get up, Wu Tingyuan suddenly said, "Miss Shen, on the side of the road behind Xu Zi's house, there are still a few wooden houses that are not inhabited, if you are willing, you can choose one to live in." ”
Yu'er was extremely surprised.
What does that mean? That is, they will not be locked up in the dungeon anymore?
That's exactly what Wu Tingyuan meant.
He had actually thought about it before, if it was clear that Shen Shu had the power of foreknowledge, he would keep her for his own use, but what happened that day affected his emotions too much, so he killed Shen Shu under impulse. Later, when he calmed down and thought about it, Shen Shu should have done nothing. Since it has nothing to do with her, it is time to make peace with her.
Shen Shu heard this, and only said, "Then thank you to the hall master." ”
Wu Tingyuan said: "It's okay. ”
Then, he summoned a person and asked him to take Shen Shu to pick a wooden house, and then arrange it, and the objects in the two-person house, as well as daily needs, including bedding and clothing, etc., should be arranged.
Although Yu'er was surprised in her heart, she also knew that this hall master should have asked for something, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, not only let them go, but also be so good to them.
Shen Shu didn't react much, he had a place to live, and he just stayed. I'll think about it later.
So they went with the man, and chose a room that was closest to the road, and took up their stay.
Shen Shu and Yu'er were settled.
And the day passed.
On the morning of the second day, Wu Tingyuan left the house.
The place where I made an appointment with the client was naturally a place very far away from the black house.
He rode on horseback, but he was not slow, and in a short time he arrived.
It is a two-storey restaurant.
He tied his horse and went up to the second floor.
In the private room, there was more than one person, in addition to a man in fancy clothes, who was the client, there was also a man in a purple robe, and two guards.
Wu Tingyuan's pace slowed.
When I met with my client, it was rare for so many people to come. Usually things are secret, and one less person knows about it, but what is the situation now? Four at once?
Wu Tingyuan observed it carefully, the client was the client, yes, the expression on his face was no different.
He thought about it again, now that the Shengyuan Hall had not completed the task first, it was natural to show sincerity, and if there were a few more people, it would be okay.
After thinking about it, he slowed down again and walked towards the elegant room.
Arriving at the door, Wu Tingyuan stepped into the private room.
The client saw him and nodded to the two guards.
The guards closed the door.
Only then did Wu Tingyuan arch his hand and said: "Brother Hu, I'm really ashamed, this time I have been entrusted by Brother Hu." ”
The man surnamed Hu only waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”
The purple-robed man kept standing at the window and looking out. When I heard them speak, I didn't look back.
"Who is this?" Wu Tingyuan said.
"It's okay to be your own people." The man surnamed Hu said, "Master Wutang, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you." Wu Tingyuan sat down at the table, and then said, "Brother Hu, Shengyuan Hall failed to complete the task this time, and I am extremely sorry in my heart. I invite you to come here today to discuss this matter and see how to deal with it. The deposit will naturally be returned as it is. As for the amount of compensation, which can make up for Brother Hu's losses, Brother Hu said that it was okay. ”
The man in fancy clothes did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at the man in front of the window.
Wu Tingyuan realized now that this man was the real client.
There was silence in the room for a long time before the purple-robed man slowly turned around.
I saw this man, with clear outlines and heroic spirit, but between his eyebrows, there was a little anger. The dress is gorgeous, the clothes are of the highest quality, and it is obvious that they come from a prominent family.
He looked back at Wu Tingyuan, paused, and finally spoke: "It's okay, the deposit doesn't need to be refunded." ”
Wu Tingyuan was very surprised, although the man in the fancy dress did not have any angry words before, he thought, what's the matter, he should also lose a lot of money, but now, the purple-robed man told him that he didn't even have to return the deposit.
"This ......" Wu Tingyuan hesitated, not knowing what these two meant.
"Master Wutang." The purple-robed man spoke again: "The matter has come to this, and the result cannot be changed." This king came this time to discuss another matter. ”
What the! He called himself the king, according to what Shen Shu said about that day, it means that this person is the king of Han!
Wu Tingyuan was extremely surprised, and hurriedly saluted: "See King Han." ”
King Han was not surprised to see that he knew his identity, so he only nodded and said, "No need to be polite." ”
"I wonder what the King of Han has to discuss?" Wu Tingyuan only asked.
