Chapter 143: News
Biwu's movement was not small, and it sounded a little abrupt in the silence now.
The two people in the room naturally heard it, Hongfu pinched the hand of the embroidery needle for a moment, raised her eyes, and glanced at Su Wanqing.
Previously, Su Wanqing asked Su Zhao to send someone to investigate Song Min's details, which was done through Hongfu, so Hongfu knew that her master had doubts about Song Min, so she couldn't help but be a little wary of Song Min, but Biwu paid great attention to Song Min, and she couldn't dissuade her openly, so she could only worry secretly.
The two were silent, and Bi Wu had already lifted the curtain and walked in, followed by Lan Shu, who looked at Bi Wu with her eyes and didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Biwu flattened her mouth, and her round eyes were full of annoyance.
Seeing this, Su Wanqing thought about it, put down the book in her hand, and said with concern: "What happened?" ”
"It's not Song Min yet!" Bi Wu looked uncertain, bit her lip, a little frustrated, and a little aggrieved explained: "Didn't the master reward us with a few packs of good snacks the day before yesterday, the slave and maid kindly sent it to him, who knows what he said in vain, and he refused to live or die, and happened to let the other two guards who were familiar with him see it, and took it to Qiang with a smile, and the slave and maid asked Song Min to ask for it, he stood by and didn't say anything, and also preached the slave and maid, so that the slave and the maid should not run to the yard of the guards casually!" ”
Su Wanqing glanced at Bi Wu in some surprise and frowned slightly, "Why did you think of sending him snacks?" I remember that you are not very familiar, no matter what you think, so reckless to find it, not afraid of making people feel abrupt? ”
Bi Wu's face froze. As if she didn't understand something, she stared at Su Wanqing in confusion for a moment, and then turned her head to look at Hongfu. "Abrupt? The slave maid clearly remembered that Hongfu did this in the past, and Mr. Chen was also very useful, there is nothing wrong? ”
The red Fu who was named blushed in an instant, and quickly lowered her eyes.
Su Wanqing saw Hongfu ashamed, and saw Lan Shu looking back and forth on the two of them half-knowingly, holding her forehead a little weakly, and glancing at Biwu with disgust. He whispered, "Hugh is going to talk nonsense." ”
Biwu pursed her lips and muttered puzzledly: "How can there be nonsense, the slave maid is learning from Hongfu?" ”
Where does Biwu understand. Chen Jianzhi and Song Min are fundamentally two different people, with different temperaments, and the way they get along with them is even different, just learning from them. How could it make Song Minqing look at each other?
Su Wanqing subconsciously wanted to mention her a few words. However, when he thought that Song Min's identity was unknown, he didn't want Biwu to get too close to him, so he opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words back.
While the master and servant of the west courtyard were discussing the charming thoughts of these little women, the atmosphere in the Nine Courtyards was quite depressing.
At this time, Su Yuanyi was in the study, and a dusty guard couldn't care about sorting out the description, so he went straight in to ask for a meeting. Report to Su Yuanyi about the situation of Chen Jian's party.
Su Yuanyi listened quietly and heard somewhere. A pair of eyes suddenly became extremely deep, fell on the guard in front of him, and said coldly: "You mean, Yandong Town has been sealed down?" ”
His expression was cold, and there was a bit of fierceness in his eyes, and the breath of the guards involuntarily lightened, and he said: "Returning to the prince, it is exactly like this, the subordinates and others went to Yandong Town, and saw that the city gate was closed, and there were officers and soldiers guarding the four gates, and the subordinates inquired about the local people, only to know that two days before we arrived in Yandong, the yamen blocked the city gate on the grounds that there were wanted criminals who were infiltrating the city. ”
"Sure enough, what a daring." Su Yuanyi squinted slightly, and the fingers of the tea bowl he was holding gradually tightened.
At dinner time, Su Yuanyi went to the west courtyard and told Su Wanqing the news.
Last time, Su Yuanyi came to Su Wanqing, and when Chen Jianzhi went to Yanling, when the waves were calm,
Su Wanqing just thought of the possibility that the news would be taken down, but Rao had expected it, and when she got the news, she was still taken aback.
You must know that such a sensitive matter as the plague, if the local government ignores it, it can be said that it is too negligent and does not notice it at all, but if you make such a move as locking down the city now, it is impossible not to notice the abnormalities in the town.
Su Wanqing thought that the most likely thing was that the magistrate of Yandong deliberately deceived his superiors and subordinates and suppressed the abnormal movement.
Because of her experience in her previous life, Su Wanqing naturally knew that the closure of Yandong was not because the government wanted to concentrate on the people for treatment, so in her opinion, the motive for the government to delay so much was a little treacherous......
Su Wanqing and Su Yuanyi had both suspected these before, thinking of this, Su Wanqing glanced at Su Yuanyi thoughtfully, and when she saw his cold face, she understood that he also realized this again.
Su Yuanyi felt her gaze and raised his eyes to look at her.
The two looked at each other for a moment, but neither spoke, and there was a tacit understanding.
Su Yuanyi sensed the subtlety between the two, under his eyes
Passing through the imperceptible waves, they quickly disappeared, silently, and could not be easily captured.
He paused, retracted his gaze, and said in a deep voice: "The current situation in Yandong Town is unknown, when the guards returned to Beijing to report the news, Chen Jianzhi and they were still outside the city, and they could not enter Yandong County, but from the words of the people, it should be inferred that Yandong was indeed out of the plague." ”
Su Wanqing's fingers couldn't help but tremble, the one who was locked up in the city and left to fend for himself was countless living lives, there was no Lang Zhong in the city who could treat the epidemic, and it was self-evident what the people who were locked up in the city were facing.
Su Wanqing lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and hesitated: "Remember, concubine, count the days, shouldn't the token of the Central Guard Army also be sent to Mr.?" ”
Su Yuanyi nodded at her, "It should be these two days." ”
Su Wanqing pursed her lips slightly, and said: "Thanks to the prince's thoughtfulness, as soon as the Central Guard arrives, those will be solved." ”
According to past precedents, whenever there is a catastrophe such as a plague, there will be some turmoil among the people, and it has been the practice of all dynasties to send troops to deter them. It's just that Su Yuanyi sent five hundred central guards at the beginning, if it was to seal the city and control the epidemic, the manpower was obviously a little tight, but if it was to escort Chen Jian's party, it would be completely enough.
Su Yuanyi glanced at Su Wanqing, her face was not relaxed in the slightest, and it was so cold that people couldn't feel a trace of temperature.
Although Su Wanqing is not a man and has not been in contact with many political affairs, she still saw the complexity behind this matter and aroused Su Yuanyi's vigilance, and thought about it: "Lord Wang, are we going to send someone to Yandong to spread a message, so that Mr. Chen and the others will be monitored by the county order and others after they enter the city?"
