Chapter 18: The Man Who Calls the Shots
Lao Gou should know Shen Yun, but at this moment, I don't know if he was stunned, or if he didn't think Shen Yun would appear here at all, he glanced at Shen Yun blankly: "Do I want to know you?" ”
"If you don't know me, it's easy to do!"
Shen Yun smiled slightly, and instructed the two people behind him: "Please ask this official to come to our house as a guest, and in a few days, send some silver to his house, and say that he accidentally fell into the water and drowned in the lotus pond......"
The more Lao Gou listened, the more wrong he became, and when the two of them behind Shen Yun came over to twist his arm, he realized that what the other party said was true, and now, he was really a little panicked.
"You are so bold, do you know who I am......"
Before the words fell, a rag had already blocked his mouth, and the two of them had dragged him out in a row, only hearing his whining sound all the way, except for the unbearable look on Su Su's face, Xu Bai and Shen Yun had no expression on their faces.
"If someone asks about this person, tell him to come to me directly!" Shen Yun looked at Xu Bai and Su Su.
"Thank you, Brother Shen!" Xu Bai arched his hand, Shen Yun nodded, and turned to leave.
Su Su waited until there was no one in the yard, and then she looked at Xu Bai as if she had realized it later, and then looked at the mess underground: "Xu Bai, this Master Shen, really won't kill that official!" ”
"Of course not!" Xu Bai smiled and nodded: "This official brother was accidentally drowned when he was a guest at Master Shen's house, Master Shen was kind-hearted and paid for him to do the funeral, how could it be that Master Shen killed him!" ”
Su Su shuddered and looked at Shen Yun, as if he didn't know Shen Yun: "Xu Bai, you seem to be a little different!" ”
"Are you getting more handsome?" Xu Bai smiled and glanced at himself: "By the way, I bought you a lot of gifts, all of which you like, you come in and take a look, I don't know if it's messed up......"
Outside the alley of the Xu family, Lao Gou was stuffed with a sedan chair like a dead dog, and then the sedan chair left here without a moment's pause, heading towards the Shen Mansion, and when he arrived at the door of the Shen family, the door of the Shen family opened, and after the sedan chair entered, there was no movement.
The next day, a team leader in Ying Tianfu went directly to Lao Gou's house and sent ten taels of silver and Lao Gou's death, Lao Gou's family suddenly cried all over the world, a miserable scene, but this is not something Xu Bai should care about.
praised Haikou in front of Baili's father and daughter, saying that he was doing things in Shen Ji, and Xu Bai asked Shen Yun for an identity, and worked as a partner in a medicinal herb shop in Shen Ji, and he didn't know how Shen Yun explained to the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb shop, anyway, after Xu Bai went, the shopkeeper simply treated him as an uncle, not only did he not want him to work, but he was meticulous in eating and serving, and Xu Bai was embarrassed.
After ordering a mao every day in the medicinal herb shop, Xu Bai left, and the shopkeeper didn't ask, just a few days later, Xu Bai estimated that Zhao Huchen was there, there should be news, and he found a time and went towards Shishi Xiaozhu.
Shishi Xiaozhuli is still quiet and elegant, and when he left, it seemed to be no different, lightly buckled on the door knocker, and the door that opened the door saw that it was him, and he didn't even ask, and directly put him in.
As soon as he entered the door, several eyes swept towards him, these eyes were known, they were Zhao Huchen's subordinates, they saw it last time, they didn't know it, and they didn't know where they came from.
"Where's the Tiger Master!"
Xu Bai beckoned to a familiar man in Tsing Yi and asked.
"Master Tiger is receiving guests!" The man in Tsing Yi replied in a low voice.
"Oh, what guest?" Xu Bai snorted at the few men he didn't know: "Are you a very important guest?" ”
"The head of the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War!" The man in Tsing Yi showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "The tiger master has invited him many times, and finally he gave him a face today, why don't you wait a little, eat some refreshments, and wait for the tiger master to come to see Xu Ye when he is done!" ”
"It's okay!" Xu Bai nodded, this should be Zhao Huchen's daily entertainment, maybe it is also a source in the government, and there is no need to interfere with the other party.
"What about the one?" Xu Bai raised his chin towards Xiaolou: "It's always safe!" ”
"You said Master Yuan!" The man in green clothes was slightly stunned: "Yuan Ye and Tiger Master are together!" ”
"That's kind of fun!" Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, shouldn't these two be the guards and the guarded, why are they going to meet an official of the imperial court together now, could it be that when he was not there in the past few days, something happened that he didn't know?
"Take me to meet them both!" Xu Bai smiled and ordered, "Is it okay?" ”
"This ......" the man in Tsing Yi hesitated, "You wait a minute, I'll report it!" ”
After saying that, he ran in a puff of smoke, Xu Bai stood still, and the two guys at the door who seemed to be guards kept staring at him, as if they were also wondering who the young man who came in recklessly.
After a while, I saw Zhao Huchen and Yuan Bin, who walked out in a hurry, and when they saw Xu Bai, they couldn't help but smile on their faces.
"Brother Xu! You've come just in time! ”
Yuan Bin smiled and arched his hand at Xu Bai, Xu Bai looked at Zhao Huchen inexplicably, and said in his heart, what happened by himself, what kind of situation is this?
"This is the one who can call the shots?" Before Zhao Huchen could speak, behind him, a somewhat flamboyant voice sounded: "Since they are all here, let's take a look, the officials are all here, you people are still secretive, it is too inevitable to look down on the officials!" ”
Xu Bai looked at Zhao Huchen, and Zhao Huchen explained in a low voice: "Yuan Baihu's identity has been verified correctly, and he asked me to pull the strings, and he wants to get some ordnance in the arsenal department of our Nanjing Military Department. ”
"Really?" Xu Bai snorted slightly, and walked in, what is Yuan Bin going to buy ordnance for, this naturally does not need to be asked, but isn't this matter that Zhao Huchen should ask him first?
Zhao Huchen saw that his face was unswerving, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Xu, didn't you say that you won't let me go to you, will you come to me?" So ......"
"I don't believe you didn't release people behind me!" Xu Bai glanced at him coldly: "I didn't know about such a big thing until now." ”
Zhao Huchen was about to speak, Xu Bai had already walked in, Yuan Bin was on the side, and when he saw the two talking, he showed a thoughtful expression.
"Zhao Huchen, I'll give you face before I talk to you about this, what do you mean?"
Under the eaves of the second courtyard, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe suddenly showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face when he saw Xu Bai walking in: "This is the person you just said can call the shots?" ”
