Chapter 66: The Nosy One Comes
"Hey, isn't that Xiao Gongzi?"
"Which Xiao Gongzi?"
"Second son, the last time I visited our house, your Wuchang classmate Xiao Gongzi! The last time I came to buy food, I was robbed..."
Just as Qin Yu and the others were about to drive the carriage out of the city, a van carriage came to them, and a servant dressed as a small servant in front of the carriage hurriedly said to the inside of the car after seeing Xiao Xinru.
Qin Yu and Xiao Xinru have good memories, and they immediately recognized that this little guy seemed to have seen him in the Wu Mansion, and when they heard him call the second son, they suddenly secretly said that it was not good.
Sure enough, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a young man came out, looking delicate and elegant, holding a folding fan.
After seeing Xiao Xinru's appearance clearly, a flash of surprise flashed in the child's eyes, and he immediately hugged his fists and smiled:
"Brother Xiao, the last time I came to the door, the little brother went out to travel, it was really a pity, I never thought that I would meet here today."
"It turned out to be Brother Wu Xian, and the Yellow Crane Tower was goodbye in the past..."
Xiao Xinru reacted quickly enough, hurriedly hugged her fists and returned the salute, and then casually said a few polite words, and wanted to leave.
But Wu Ergongzi saw that she was extraordinary, quite talented and knowledgeable, and immediately wanted to make friends and invited each other to drink, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
But where is Xiao Xinru willing to drink with him? Say a few words about the scene, it doesn't matter, once you talk about it, it will definitely be exposed, so I try my best to refuse.
It wasn't until he left the city that Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, secretly saying that this kind of thing was even more nervous than fighting.
"Madam, it was really dangerous just now, I was ready to rush out with you after being dismantled, I didn't want anything, look at that guy's attitude just now, didn't you really know each other before?"
"Childe said that he laughed, how could the concubine know him?"
"Then why did he look like he had known you for a long time? It's like the two of you used to drink and talk in the Yellow Crane Tower? ”
Qin Yu looked at her with a strange and curious expression, Xiao Xinru pretended to be right, but that guy actually pretended to follow, could it be that his head was broken.
Seeing his appearance, Mrs. Li covered her mouth and smiled, and then explained: "Gongzi doesn't know, after every college examination, there are hundreds of talented people on the Yellow Crane Tower, so how can Second Gongzi Wu remember everything?"
The concubine just said that he had a relationship with him at that time, if he said that he didn't remember, or didn't know, he would be extremely disrespectful to me, and he was worried that after I returned to Wuchang, he would ruin his reputation, so whether there was such a thing or not, he would definitely not deny it, and he would only think that it was too long, and there were too many people at that time and he had forgotten. ”
"I see, it's so hypocritical." Qin Yu suddenly realized, and then shook his head and scolded.
Meanwhile.
The second son of Wu in the carriage was a little unhappy in his heart.
It's not because he doesn't remember what happened to him and this Brother Xiao in the Yellow Crane Tower in the past, but because the other party is too faceless.
He invited him again and again, but the other party still declined in the end, obviously haunted by the last grain robbery, and did not want to have a deep friendship with him again.
So I am very worried that after he returns to Wuchang, he will ruin his reputation and be unfavorable to his township test next year.
After all, their students in Xiangyang are not as good as those in Wuchang Mansion, and maybe they will find someone to help him make things difficult when they arrive in Nanjing, how can he not be annoyed?
"Childe, your brother Xiao just now is really handsome and extraordinary!" The woman on the side saw that he was sullen, but she covered her mouth and smiled.
"Why, don't you have a crush on him? That son will catch up with him, how will you be with him? ”
When the second son of Wu saw that the concubine he had redeemed still said this, he immediately became angry.
"Don't be angry, Gongzi is pitied by Gongzi, the slave family only loves Gongzi alone in this life, how can he look at others again?"
The woman hurriedly said coquettishly, but she covered her mouth and smiled: "Besides, even if the slave family really likes him, I'm afraid he won't be able to do that cloud and rain thing... Giggles..."
Speaking of this, it was as if I remembered something funny, and the flowers and branches of laughter trembled.
"What do you mean?"
Wu Ergongzi's brows were furrowed into Sichuan characters, and his tone was quite stern, how could a person like him who was knowledgeable and proud not understand what she meant?
"Childe really didn't see it?"
"See what?"
Seeing that he was really angry, the woman hurriedly fell into his ear and whispered.
Wu Gongzi's eyes suddenly widened: "What? How is this possible, are you sure you read that right? ”
"Childe, the slave family has been since childhood... You will never be mistaken, that Xiao Gongzi is clearly a daughter, and she can't be said to be a beautiful and moving lady! ”
"I see, I said how did I always feel that something was wrong just now!"
Wu Ergongzi thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized.
Just now he felt that Brother Xiao was a little weird, but he didn't think about it in that way, but now after she mentioned it, he immediately understood that that Xiao Gongzi was definitely a woman dressed as a man, and the two met for the first time.
Although I was very curious in my heart, why did the other party dress up as a man and pretend to be his classmate to buy food at his house, but the other party's conversation is really extraordinary, and she must be a woman from a good family, so it is inconvenient to catch up and debunk it.
But the next day, when he learned from the coachmen who escaped that Xiao Gongzi's convoy had been robbed by a group of petty thieves again, Wu Er Gongzi was immediately not calm.
The two robberies were not more than a few miles apart, but no one else's convoy was robbed, and it was still the same group of people as his convoy was robbed, which is by no means a coincidence to explain.
Thinking of the scene when they left the city at noon yesterday and were robbed last time, I felt even more that something was wrong, and immediately went to the shop in the city to inquire, where I still didn't understand what was going on.
Those things seem to be disorganized, but in fact, they are clearly bought specifically for bandits.
But she is indeed from Wuchang again, and she knows everything about the Yellow Crane Tower, she must have participated in it, plus her demeanor and demeanor, and what she learned from her father.
Wu Ergongzi really didn't believe that Brother Xiao, who was dressed as a man, would collude with bandits, but if it weren't for that, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Originally, I was curious about Xiao Xinru's woman dressing up as a man, and the gang of little thieves was located in Blackstone Town, and it was said that it was very likely that they came from Gucheng to get a thief, where did Wu Ergongzi dare to be careless?
After thinking about it, he went to Xiangyang City on the same day, and decided to visit the Xiao Tong judge in person.
At this time, Qin Yu had already returned to the cottage and fell asleep.
Last night, I hired one hundred and fifty big men, and I used the wheelbarrow I robbed last time to transport things back to the cottage overnight.
Although he also knew that playing this kind of game twice would inevitably reveal flaws, it was better than organizing their own convoy and swaggering from the official road to the small road.
After all, that trail leads to Valley City, and those who are interested will know what is going on with a little guessing?
The key is that Blackstone Town is too close to the mountain road, no matter day or night, such a big movement cannot be hidden from the landlords in the town.
Someone was watching them last night, and if it weren't for the young soldiers, armed with sharp knives and torches, escorting the cars on the side, those landlords would probably have to come and rob them.
And with the method of robbery, as long as Xiao Xinru does not show up, as long as she does not go to Xiangyang to confirm with her brother, Xiao Xinru's identity will never be exposed, and she can still go to the city to buy things next time.
Qin Yu believes that they have not infringed on the interests of others, the coachman has not been killed, and the mule and horse cart have not been wanted, even if someone will doubt it, they will not be idle and go to investigate.
It is true that although the Nanzhang County Order has some suspicions that the son of Xiao colluded with bandits, he does not want to offend Na Xiao Tong in vain.
After all, if he writes to ask, whether that Xiao Gongzi is his third brother or not, he will definitely offend him, and it is better to have more than one thing, so he doesn't bother to care.
