Chapter 96
The carriage overturned, the horse hadn't stopped yet, Shu Chengye was in a hurry, the coachman had already rolled to the side when the carriage overturned, and he couldn't help even if he wanted to help at this time. The carriage was dragged forward quickly, the carriage curtain suddenly opened, Shu Manyao leaned out, holding a dagger in his hand, climbed the beam in front of the car, and went directly to cut the rope that was wrapped around it.
"Man Yao, be careful!" Shu Chengye hurriedly shouted, and with another effort, he completely grabbed the reins in his hand, and with him dragging in front, the horse couldn't break free, the speed of running was slow, and the speed of the carriage sliding was also slow, Shu Manyao cut the rope smoothly, and the carriage stopped immediately.
"How? Did you hit anywhere? What about your grandmother? Shu Chengye turned over and dismounted, asked Shu Manyao a few words, and then lifted the curtain to look at the old lady, the old lady held her forehead and waved her hand weakly: "It's okay, Man Yao protected me just now, I didn't hit it, look at Man Yao, I hit the car door several times just now." ”
Shu Chengye turned around and asked Shu Manyao, Shu Manyao came out of the carriage, and while helping the old lady, he said with a smile: "Daddy, you are too underestimated, but the horse is shocked, I am bold, didn't you dare to cut the rope just now?" Don't worry, I don't have anything to do, but Mother Yang is a little bad and fainted. ”
"Mother Yang?" Shu Chengye was a little surprised, but he reacted immediately, and immediately frowned: "Mother Yang was really careless, I asked her to take care of you, but it turned out to be good, she fainted by herself!" If she goes back, she will be fined for a month! ”
Shu Manyao hugged Shu Chengye's arm and shook it: "Daddy, let's think of a way to go back first, let's do this, what can we do?" You have to wait until you get home to pay the monthly penalty. ”
Shu Chengye also frowned, the carriage was originally not enough, but something happened again at this time, so the Chen family couldn't be allowed to go back in the carriage and walk back at home, right? Besides, Shu Chengye sneered, his family's carriage was originally good, why was he suddenly shocked? The arrow in the back, could it be that it flew down from the sky?
"Oh, Master Shu, what's going on? Didn't get hurt, did you? Master Chen ran all the way, tired and panting, and looked into the carriage, where the old lady was leaning on Yang Jianbai, and Yang Jianbai was lying face up in the carriage, and there was no one else. Disappointment flashed across that Lord Chen's face, but he was also a little relieved.
Shu Manyao and Shu Chengye both paid attention to the look of this Lord Chen, and each sneered a few times in their hearts when they saw this. Shu Manyao was a little glad in her heart, that Yang Gongzi was white, and she didn't take much effort to change people.
"Have you offended anyone?" The Lord Chen continued: "I just saw a man in black, shot an arrow in this direction, and then rushed back to the mountain, it's really a bad thing, you are an official of the imperial court, if something happens, the nine clans of his family are not enough to pay for their lives, you must find out!" ”
"That's natural, I Shu Chengye asked myself if I was worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect that someone would resort to such a subordinate means! What is there to please, just come to me Shu Chengye, why bother with my family? This matter, I must make it clear to the emperor, today it is my Shu Chengye, tomorrow maybe someone will be replaced, if the officials of the court all encounter such a thing, who will dare to be an official in the future? ”
Lord Chen's face froze: "You don't need to tell the emperor about this kind of thing, right?" Right now, the emperor is busy with the war on the frontier......"
"Lord Chen said that this is a small matter for me?" Shu Chengye turned his head to stare at Lord Chen and asked, Lord Chen hurriedly smiled and said: "Naturally not, the murder of the imperial court official, this is a matter of the Nine Clans, it's just that as a courtier, you should share your worries for the present, the emperor is busy with the war, and to talk about this kind of thing at this time is to add chaos to the emperor......"
Shu Chengye sneered: "Maybe this matter has something to do with the frontier?" Maybe the person who wants to murder me is a Khitan spy? Master Chen, you excuse that person like this......"
Lord Chen hurriedly straightened his face: "Lord Shu misunderstood, I'm not excusing that person, I'm just sharing worries for the emperor." Since Master Shu felt that this matter was very important, Xia Guan would not stop Lord Shu. The lower official is just a few nonsense, Lord Shu, please don't take it to heart. ”
Shu Chengye's face was still cold, and he raised his chin: "Lord Chen, look, something happened to our carriage here......"
Lord Chen was stunned, Shu Chengye frowned and stretched out his finger to the carriage that he had borrowed just now: "Lord Chen, I'm really sorry, if you are not in a hurry, and wait here, I will go back and send someone to Chen's house to inform you, and let someone from your family come to pick you up?" ”
Lord Chen's face was a little embarrassed, but the carriage was the Shu family, so he had to call his daughter down, and watched as several mothers-in-law of the Shu family carried the unconscious mother-in-law into the carriage, followed by the old lady, the girl of the Shu family, and even the two mothers-in-law who fell down just now squeezed into the carriage.
Shu Chengye turned over and shook his fist at Lord Chen condescendingly: "Lord Chen, take a step first, say goodbye, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to the Chen family to say something, Lord Chen and be patient." ”
Master Chen smiled bitterly and returned the salute with a fist.
When the carriage entered Shu's house, he first turned to Shu Chengye's courtyard, and the mothers-in-law carried Yang Jianbai down. Shu Chengye was stunned after a glance, and stretched out his hand to Yang Jianbai's chest: "This, what's going on with this?" ”
Shu Manyao made a grimace with a smile, and the old lady was a little crying and laughing: "I don't know, Manyao has so many ghost ideas, the steamed buns of Fuyuan Temple, she took two and stuffed them in, don't say it, it's quite the same thing." ”
The corners of Shu Chengye's mouth twitched, and he drove the old lady and Shu Manyao away: "You don't know about this matter, I just asked someone to invite Song Yuan to come over, you go back first and wait for the news, I still have to go to the palace in a while, Yang Jianbai's affairs in our house, but you must not leak the bottom, Man Yao, you go back and arrange for someone to serve him first." ”
Shu Manyao nodded: "I know, Daddy, just go and get busy, I'll arrange it properly." I will also call the maid I saw just now and talk about it, but I can't handle it, and what about my grandmother, don't worry. ”
The old lady also nodded, took Shu Manyao away, and the first thing she did was to call those maids over to give a lecture. Generally speaking, the deeds of sale of these maids and daughters-in-law are all in the Shu family, and they will never betray the Shu family.
However, I'm afraid that some people don't know the priorities of the matter, and only treat it as ordinary news, and as soon as someone else takes out the money, she won't take it seriously, which is more depressing than a real betrayal.
After listening to the old lady's training, Shu Manyao walked leisurely to his yard, still a little puzzled to understand that Yang Jianbai Weishenme would be in the capital, just to track down the spies, and use a general to go out in person?
Perhaps, I remembered wrong, he is not a general?
Shaking his head and throwing these speculations out of his mind, Shu Manyao thought about it again, Yang Jianbai was injured, and he had to tell the kitchen to make something to replenish blood, he was better earlier, and left Shu's house earlier, and those troubles would automatically leave.
Let's take a look at the current situation, that Lord Chen just suspected that Yang Jianbai was in their carriage, so he dared to do such a thing, almost harming her and her grandmother, if those people were sure that Yang Jianbai was in the Shu family, they would have to turn the sky upside down?
"Originally, General Zhao and I planned to fight Jihua, originally preparing to lure the enemy to attack, but I didn't expect that the enemy general would plan and lose 3,000 men and horses in vain, so we suspected that there was a spy in the army. After careful investigation and identification, I didn't expect that the person was still in contact with a high-ranking official in Beijing, and the stakes were very high, and we didn't dare to send other people back to deliver the letter, General Zhao couldn't leave, so I had to go in person. ”
Yang Jianbai had already woken up at this time, and was talking to Shu Chengye: "It's just that the news of my return to Beijing, I don't know why it leaked out, along the way, a total of more than a dozen assassinations, seeing that I was about to go to the capital, and met a group of people, but, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, those people didn't dare to move too much, so I picked up a life, speaking of which, I would like to thank Ling Qianjin and the old lady today, if it weren't for their help, I'm afraid I would have died in Fuyuan Temple." ”
"Master, the eldest girl asked someone to bring hot soup." The little guy stood under the porch and shouted, the doors and windows were open, Shu Chengye turned his head to look, beckoned the little guy to bring the food box over, and as soon as he opened it, a pungent fragrance came out.
"Here, let's have a bowl." Shu Chengye took a look, knew who the soup was for, took it out and scooped a bowl and handed it to Yang Jianbai, Yang Jianbai was stunned for a moment before taking it, a warm current flowed in his heart, Miss Shu is a careful and kind person, and it was really his blessing to meet Miss Shu.
Shu Chengye was about to speak, but the little guy whispered again: "Master, the eldest girl said that you are too tired during this time, so you also need to drink some soup." ”
Yang Jianbai is a blood tonic, Shu Chengye is a qi tonic, the two of them are holding bowls, with warmth in the corners of their eyes and eyebrows. After drinking the soup, Shu Chengye personally helped Yang Jianbai to lie down: "I already know about this matter, don't worry, I will enter the palace now, the emperor has his own decision in this matter, and he will definitely not wronged you." You sleep for a while, I have made people take care of this yard, and there will be no news leaking. ”
Yang Jianbai smiled and nodded: "Thank you Master Shu, Master Shu does things, I am relieved." ”
Shu Chengye nodded, covered him with a quilt, and turned around and shouted at the little guy: "Go, this official must go to the palace to complain!" This world is so bad, someone actually murdered the court official, and the official just passed by at the bottom of the mountain, and he was poisoned by this and turned the sky upside down! ”
gathered a group of people, deliberately picked a big one with some skills, and then went straight to the palace.
"Then Shu Chengye really went to the palace?"
"Yes, I just passed the street in front of me, and there was a commotion, Xia Guan really didn't expect that this Shu Chengye was such a fool, how could he go into the palace to talk about this kind of thing? Shouldn't you mention the Admiral of Jiumen and the Yin of Jingfu? ”
"Are you sure Yang Jianbai is not in his family's carriage?"
"The lower official is sure that the place on the carriage is not big, and you can see it at a glance, and there is no place to hide people."
"Things are not quite right, Shu Chengye's temperament is not so impatient." frowned and thought for a while, and his face suddenly changed: "Tell me carefully, what does the mother-in-law who fainted in the carriage look like!" ”
