Chapter 30 Diligence and Poverty
The Hyogo Division of the Nanjing Military Department of the Ming Dynasty has never been a lively place, let alone lively, and even some officials who have been officials in Nanjing for many years may not know where the Hyogo Division of the Military Department is.
This is a building complex covering an area of seventy or eighty acres in the corner of the southern city, surrounded by a high wall.
At the gate of the Hyogo Division, two soldiers were drowsy, and when they looked through the gate, there was a group of soldiers patrolling between the buildings, and Xu Bai walked up to the two soldiers and coughed lightly.
"Something?"
The soldier leaning against the door asked lazily with a side face, and the soldier who was sitting directly on the chair didn't bother to raise his face, and even pulled the hat covering his face down a few times.
"I'm here to see your master, Lord Gao!" Xu Bai smiled shyly, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"Our lord, you can see what you want?" The soldier glanced at Xu Bai, if it weren't for Xu Bai's clothes that were still passable, maybe he would have started to bombard people directly.
"I'm tired of the military master, report it!" Xu Bai handed over the two pieces of broken silver in his hand, and the power of the silver was really huge, and even the soldier who was sitting and sleeping sat up.
"You wait, what's your name!?"
"My name is Shang Wei!" Xu Bai smiled slightly, showing a little humility: "The Lord in charge should have an impression when he hears my name!" ”
The soldier went for a long time before he came out of it: "Follow the gate to the front, to the innermost room on the left, you can see the master, count you lucky, the master is here today, another day, you are really afraid that you will not see it!" ”
This Hyogo Division looks very grand from the outside, and when he walked in the door, Xu Bai found that the space inside was only larger than he estimated, and the rows of houses should be the treasury of the Hyogo Division.
"Superior, why are you here!"
Gao Han was already waiting for him under the eaves of the door, and around the house, several soldiers on duty cast their eyes, obviously a little curious about this guest who needed to be greeted by their master at the door in person.
"Let's go inside!" Xu Bai said softly, Gao Han did not doubt him, made a gesture of invitation, and asked Xu Bai to go in.
"Is there a deal coming?" Several soldiers on duty watched the backs of the two of them as they entered, whispering.
"Brothers, it looks like they're having extra money again?"
"I just don't know how much I want, I heard Ao San'er who just came in say that he was quite generous, and he was rewarded with more than one or two silver when he entered the door!"
"No wonder the gods are mysterious! It seems to be a big deal! ”
There was excitement on the faces of several people, if it was a big deal, the hundreds of brothers of the Hyogo Division, it would be all wet with rain and dew, and with the hand of the high master, he would definitely not treat everyone badly.
In the room, Gao Han asked Xu Bai to take a seat: "Is it for those things that I wanted last time, I have no problem here, you can pick them at any time, and I have picked the best things in the library!" ”
"Let's put this one out for now!" After Xu Bai made sure that there was no one else in the room, he slowly spoke: "Something happened!" ”
"Something's wrong?" Gao Han was stunned, he didn't react for a while.
"I just escaped from Shen Yun, and now the Shen family has been sealed by Jinyiwei, Shen Yun is afraid that at this moment, I am afraid that it will also fall into the hands of Jinyiwei!"
"These brocade guards are crazy!" Gao Han was surprised: "It's just such a trivial matter, are they worth it, no, if they want to find trouble, they should also go to Qi Wu's trouble, how to find Brother Shen!" ”
"I don't think it's the docks!" Xu Bai said slowly: "It should be something else, it's inconvenient for me to show up now, or even inquire, so I have to ask you to do this!" ”
"No problem, I can ask about this!" Gao Han agreed.
"You'd better not take the lead directly, you find someone else to ask, it's better not for someone from your Hyogo Division to ask!" Xu Bai said: "When the situation is not clear, we can't be too cautious!" ”
"Understood!" Gao Han's heart was awe-struck, and his heart was about the importance and urgency of this matter, and he suddenly went up to a level.
"Also, I want to use a few of your people directly, and I want my own people!"
"I'll arrange it!"
In less than a stick of incense, the door of Gao Han's house opened again, and the soldiers on duty saw Gao Han sitting in the middle of the house, and the young man who went in retreated alone, and suddenly his face couldn't help but show disappointment.
Is this price negotiable? Otherwise, this kind of fortune boy will be welcomed in by his own adult, so he will have to send it out in person!
Xu Bai "reluctantly" squeezed out a smile, nodded at them, with a gloomy look, and then walked towards the outside of the Hyogo Division, and soon, he walked out of the gate of the Hyogo Division and disappeared into the eyes of this group of soldiers.
Almost half an hour later, he appeared in an inn just across the street from Hyogo, and he said a few words to the shopkeeper, who led him directly to an upper room.
In the house, Xu Bai didn't wait long, and soon there was a gentle knock on the door outside, followed by an incision.
This kind of code language, Xu Bai has learned a lot from Shen Yun in the past few days, he made the incision very easily, the door was gently pushed open by the visitor, Xu Bai saw the visitor, and his body stiffened.
This is an official errand, and it is also the kind of official errand that Xu Bai is very familiar with, the official uniform on his body, and the iron ruler with a faint silhouette in the official uniform, clearly told Xu Bai that this person is Ying Tianfu's tolerance if he is fake.
He swallowed hard, not knowing what to say at this time.
"My subordinates are hardworking, and I've seen my son!" The person who came slowly spoke, and Xu Bai's heart suddenly relaxed.
"What did you get your order?" He took a deep breath and asked.
"Come here in an hour and obey the dispatch of the childe!" This is called a hard-working official, and replied with an unchanged face.
"You wait, someone will come!" Xu Bai nodded, and even relaxed slightly, just for a moment, he thought that the other party was sent by Ying Tianfu to arrest him.
The door was closed again, the room was quiet, and it didn't take long for the knock to sound again, this time after the incision, the person who appeared at the door was a scholar, wearing a washed white Confucian robe, but in Xu Bai's eyes, his clothes looked more cordial than the official clothes on Ren Lao's body.
"Student Fang Shou is poor, I have seen Childe!"
"What did you get the order?" Xu Bai repeated the words after seeing Ren Lao.
This side's poor answer is exactly the same as the answer of Ren Lao: "Come here within an hour and wait for the son's dispatch!" ”
Xu Bai nodded and looked at the two of them: "My name is Xu Bai, from now on, you are my people!" ”
