Chapter Thirty-Seven: What a Difficult Door!
About half an hour later, Wu Yue, Sandezi, and Li Dong appeared at the entrance of the Sony Mansion, in the tea stall directly opposite.
Wu Yue was dressed in the costume of a noble child, sitting in the corner of the tea stall, holding a teacup with one hand, staring at the door of the Sony Mansion at the moment.
"Sandezi, is there any news from Dongting?" Wu Yue asked in a low voice.
Sandezi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, and responded in a low voice, "Back to Gongzi, Dongting hasn't sent news back yet." However, according to the time calculation, if there is more time for a stick of incense, he will definitely rush back. “
Wu Yue nodded.
At the entrance of Sony's mansion, a butler dressed in satin costumes, with a long mustache, a pair of small eyes, and a face full of pride, looked at the courtiers who came to visit Sony, nodded slightly, and then pointed very casually in the direction of the hall inside the mansion gate, which was similar to the communication room.
"Go inside and hand in the prayer sticker. Then go home and wait. When the time comes, someone will go to your house to inform you. The housekeeper said in a weird way.
"Yes, yes, steward, you have worked hard, these are honoring you. If you don't pay respect, please be sure to do it. One of the red-capped officials, with a flattering smile on his face, took out a large ingot of gold from his bosom, covered his body in front of the butler, and stuffed it directly into his arms.
A smile appeared on the butler's face. Greedily lowered his head, looked at the gold ingot in his hand, and said without raising his head, "Don't worry, my lord, we will find a way to hand you the greeting post." ”
"Then there's Steward Lao." The courtier bowed to the butler, thanked him again and again, and slowly retreated from here.
Wu Yue took in this scene, and told himself in his heart that these were very ordinary things. But I was still inexplicably angry in my heart.
"Smack!" Wu Yue slammed the teacup in his hand on the tea table.
Seeing this, Sandezi hurriedly whispered, "Childe, please stop being angry!" ”
And at this time, Wei Dongting, who was dressed as a civilian, strode to Wu Yue's tea table, and sat down with a big sword.
"Little Er, let's have a pot of tea!" Wei Dongting said loudly to Xiao Er, who was greeting the guests next to him.
"Howler!" With a smile on his face, Xiao Er stepped forward, poured a cup of tea for Wei Dongting, and then presented the prepared refreshments with both hands, and then bowed to leave.
Wei Dongting lowered his head, picked up the teacup with both hands, blocked it in front of his face, and said in a deep voice, "Childe, the spy returns, the grandson of Sony, Hesheri Wan'er is in the backyard of the mansion, and he is going to the study to give a lecture to him. ”
Wu Yue nodded.
"Those officials who handed Sonny a tribute post, during this time, you should pay more attention, pay tribute to Sonny with the money these people, and let Sonny do anything for them, as well as their names and official positions, all be recorded." Wu Yue said in a low voice.
Wei Dongting nodded, then threw down a few pieces of silver and got up to leave.
A few minutes after Wei Dongting left, Wu Yue beckoned Sandezi to pay for the tea, then got up and headed towards Sony's mansion gate.
Before Wu Yue was about to arrive at the gate of Suofu, the soldiers who were standing in front of the mansion and guarded strode forward and directly stopped Wu Yue.
"Who's here? This is the mansion of the first assistant of the Qing Dynasty and the middle hall of Sonuso, and it is not close to the idle people. The soldier at the head of the group pestled the spear in his hand in front of Wu Yue, and looked sideways at Li Dong, who was closely following.
Obviously, Wu Yue is regarded as Li Dong's child.
Li Dong stepped forward and protected Wu Yue behind him, and the light emitted by his eyes at this moment was like a bolt of lightning, staring at the person who came, and the killing aura burst out from his body!
"Someone!" The soldier holding the spear was forced to take a few steps back by Li Dong's murderous aura, hurriedly turned around, and beckoned the other soldiers to come over quickly.
And at this moment, Sandezi hurriedly stepped forward, smiled flatteringly at the soldier, took out a silver ingot from his arms, handed it over, and whispered something to him. The soldiers glanced at Li Dong coldly, turned around and retreated to the front of the mansion gate.
Sandezi turned around and trotted all the way back to Wu Yue.
"Childe, I've already told those soldiers. We can get there. Sandezi bowed slightly and said.
Wu Yue nodded and strode towards the butler.
Wu Yue originally couldn't get used to this butler with the face of a profiteer, so after approaching the mansion gate, he had to raise his legs and walk in quickly.
"Stop! Do you think this is your back garden, you can come in if you want, and you can go out if you want? The butler pinched his throat and screamed.
Wu Yue frowned, slowly turned around, and handed over his coiled dragon jade pendant from his waist. "I'm in a hurry to go out, and I don't have anything of value on me, so that's it, you can take it."
The housekeeper didn't even look at the jade pendant handed over by Wu Yue, and snorted coldly, "Who do you think you are?" Today, even if the prince and grandson come, they have to line up at the back! ”
Wu Yue pretended to be full of doubts, and shook the jade plaque in front of his eyes, "I, Ama said, looking at the entire Qing Dynasty, as long as there is this thing, there is no place that cannot be visited." , is he lying to me? ”
The arrogant housekeeper listened to Wu Yue, who could speak extremely arrogantly, and couldn't help but look at Wu Yue's shaking jade plate.
With just one glance, the butler's body slowly softened. The head was clubbed on the ground, and the body trembled with a strong buckle.
Wu Yue snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice, "I thought this was not the territory of the Qing Dynasty?" ”
"Too ..... Childe, the slave has no eyes. The servant ...... "The butler didn't dare to raise his head, and he drooped his head, and he was about to pump his mouth."
"Yes, you can give the master a pause for a while. I'll go in and take a look, so don't alarm Suo Zhongtang first. When he's done, you'll report it! Wu Yue directly stopped his next move and said softly.
"Huh!" The butler hurriedly responded.
Wu Yue nodded and strode towards Suofu. And Li Dong and Sandezi hurriedly followed.
"The seventh rank official in front of the prime minister. Hehe. The ancients didn't deceive me. Wu Yue said secretly in his heart on the way to the backyard of Suofu.
"Look at the servant, there is such a servant, presumably this Sonny is not like the one I have seen. To the Qing Dynasty, loyalty is the same. The degree of greed of his heel, imagined with his heels, is even greater than that of this steward! ”
"But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid what he wants is more than just money, right?" Wu Yue thought of this, and his heart couldn't help but mention it.
"Sony's party is like a mess, if it can't be cut neatly with the fastest knife, its current threat is much greater than that of Aobai." Wu Yue thought of this, and a pair of small hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
"Sony!" Wu Yue couldn't help but grit his back molars and said secretly.
Seeing this, Sandezi hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand to gently pinch Wu Yue's little hand.
"Childe, further ahead, it's the backyard." Sandezi said mildly.
Wu Yue looked sideways at Sandezi, and at this time, three maids dressed in subordinate clothes, holding the tray lightly with both hands, walked slowly towards this side.
"Hmm." Wu Yue responded softly.
"At the beginning of man, nature is good!" And at this time, a crisp and pleasant voice came.
Wu Yue fixed his eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came.
