Liu Dashi took a deep breath, "Liu Mian, let's not talk about this for the time being, why do you have to break the net, you are dead, I am dead, and the big private salt family is also dead, have you ever thought about what to do with those group of subordinates?" ”

Liu Mian turned his head sideways and said nothing.

"We don't have to do it that way."

Liu Dashi discussed and said: "Now everyone knows that you Liu Mianyi is thin and cloudy, so it is better for us to make a deal." ”

"How?"

Liu Mian didn't want to really make a big deal about it, after all, making a fortune secretly was the top priority, once he poked everything out, it would not be beneficial to anyone, not to mention that he was still one hundred and eighty people waiting to support his family.

"You take the blame for me, and I take care of your subordinates below, so that you Liu Mian can truly become a person who is loyal to your master, and you can also be a person who takes care of your subordinates everywhere, you are loyal and righteous, how about it?"

Liu Mian "heh", "Speaking of which, don't you just want to be alone, just swore to repay the posture of a superior, why are you so submissive now, this is not like the temperament of our Liu family." ”

Liu Dashi was not angry, he still had a smile on his face, just as Liu Mian said, he wanted to be alone. If he can stay out of the matter, let Liu Mian get over it.

"How? Now that this matter is known to my grandfather, it must be difficult to settle down, this is the best solution, if you have to break the net with me, I will also pull your group of subordinates to support the back before I die. ”

Liu Dashi said this, he let out a long breath of turbidity, "As for what you say, if you die, there will be cronies to inform, I believe you also have a way to stabilize them, I promise you, as long as you take away all the charges, your group of subordinates will all be big families in the future." ”

Just when Liu Mian was pondering, an old man who was about seventy years old walked into the courtyard, and stood there, not angry and arrogant, he looked at the two people who were talking to each other, and said in a flat tone: "Liu Er Shaoye, when to leave, don't let Shangshu wait too long." ”

Liu Dashi pulled out a smile, he knew this person, this person was the old steward of Shangshu Mansion, grandpa asked the old steward to find him, and he really had a big enough arm.

Liu Dashi greeted, "Mr. Zhou, you go first, I'll settle this injured family and go, we young people are very fast, and we will never let grandpa wait for a long time, you can rest assured." ”

The old steward was obviously a little displeased when he heard the words of the horse galloping through the street, he snorted coldly and walked out of the courtyard gate, this little young master is more than a star and a half worse than the eldest young master.

The conversation turned to the early morning of this day.

Last night, Yu Youjun and Gongsun Jian wanted to go outside and find an inn to live in, but on the one hand, they were worried that Liu Mian would turn back and never do anything, on the other hand, it was also Ma Miao's hospitality, and the two of them lived in the shop, don't look at this shop Although it is small, but it is complete, it happens that there are three rooms in the house, Gongsun and Yu are not the kind of delicate people, plus the capital is not as cold as Zhongzhou, so they cleaned up the dust casually, took a clean futon and lived.

Early in the morning, there was a tinkling knock outside the store, just like the announcer in the army was urging the soldiers to dress and gather for training, Gongsun Jian opened his eyes, last night he slept with his clothes, did not take off his clothes, and went out after washing casually.

I saw Yu Youjun and Ma Miao, two uncles and nephews, tinkering on the side of the stove, and the stove that was blown over by Yu Youjungang's wind yesterday also came up, and a big iron pot on the stove was boiling things.

Except for a few tables, chairs and benches, the entire store is almost identical.

Ma Miao has been busy for so long in winter, the white gas in his mouth is like an immortal swallowing clouds and spitting mist, in this pleasant morning, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and smiled: "Little brother Gongsun, you get up, eat some breakfast." ”

As he spoke, Ma Miao trotted around the inner and outer rooms for a long time, and walked out with three small porcelain bowls and a pot of old wine that looked like some years.

"I'm famous for my cold tofu, hot tofu is also good, and the ground bean juice is sweet and delicious, come and try it."

Ma Miao filled three bowls of tofu, and after scooping half a bowl of bean juice in a small bowl, he carefully opened the stopper of the pot of old wine, and in an instant, the whole air was filled with the aroma of wine.

Yu Youjun praised: "This wine is simple and mellow, I'm afraid it's a little old." ”

"My father has already buried it when he was alive, and if I don't take it out today, I guess I won't be able to entertain anyone else in the future."

Ma Miao poured three glasses out, Gongsun Jian hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't want to drink in the early morning, I'd better drink bean juice, this bean juice is good, is there anything else Brother Ma has?" ”

Ma Miao's face suddenly turned red, and after pushing the wine glass to Yu Youjun, he said, "You can only grind a little bit of bean juice every day, otherwise you won't only fill half a bowl for one person." ”

"I see, I said that you drink good bean juice, and you sell bean juice better than cold tofu business."

"Who's to say it isn't."

Ma Miao is in a good mood, and he doesn't care what Lao Shizi Liu Mianliu and the others are, and Yu Youjun you drank up the whole pot of wine with a cup and I drank up the whole pot of wine, but fortunately, the amount of wine between the two of them is the weight of a few jars, and these glasses are at most gargling.

After eating, Yu Youjun was satisfied, went back to the house and took out the clothes he had draped on his body, Gongsun Jian knew that this was about to go.

Ma Miao blushed, "Uncle Yu, really go to Liufu?" ”

"Then there can be a fake, don't be too afraid, it's okay to have me, this matter has to be made clear, otherwise I will pat my ass and leave, you are here to estimate that you can stand it."

Yu Youjun is right, this beam is over, if you don't make it clear, Ma Miao's life is estimated to be more difficult than now.

Ma Miao also beat the drum in his heart, although some generals suspected that his uncle was really an official of the imperial court, but there was no frame at all, which made him feel like a dream, on weekdays, he saw those sesame-sized officials one by one, thinking that if it was a high-ranking official in the capital, it was estimated that his feet could grow to the top of his head, and now when he saw it, he understood more and more what his father said before his death, the more powerful the person, the more inconspicuous he was.

Since foreign carriages could not enter the city, Yu Youjun arranged for Gongsun Jian to rent a carriage, but fortunately, the rental carriage was accompanied by a groom, and Yu Youjun did not continue to put down his body to drive for the two juniors. And so the carriage swayed.

Ma Miao is still riding a carriage for the first time in his life, the novelty is not good, from his eyes to see the child's curiosity about strange affairs, Gongsun Jian laughed a few times, it turns out that not only is he a hillbilly, but also has never seen the world more than himself.

Ma Miao looked left and right, he suddenly realized that the carriage was taking the wrong route, and turned around and reminded: "Uncle Yu, Liufu is still the south city of the former city, let's go directly through the city, how can we go to the edge of the city now, and we are about to go out of the front city on the right road, is this groom deliberately detouring and wanting to collect more silver." ”

Some local grooms in the capital like to pit outsiders who don't know the way, and every time they will go far and far to earn a few more money.

Yu Youjun has been to the capital, and naturally knows this kind of unspoken rule, he pressed his palm and explained: "I ordered it, there is no big head in that Liufu in Nancheng, if we want to go, we have to find the biggest person, and go directly to Houcheng Shangshu Mansion!" ”

This time, Ma Miao couldn't calm down anymore, Liu Ershao was already a figure in his eyes, but he didn't expect Yu Youjun to go to Lord Shangshu who was sitting firmly in his eyes!

"Unbelievable...... It's amazing......"

Ma Miao muttered to himself like a madman, and Ma Miao was not a good talker, so he turned around and shouted a few words about Ma Miao, but he still couldn't stop Ma Miao's mouth that he didn't know what he was talking about.

"It's here!"

The groom knocked on the carriage and shouted, "Inside, it's crazy, don't get sick in my car again." ”

Gongsun Jian greeted and pulled Ma Miao out of the car.

Yu Youjun paid the silver in the back, and said something in the horseman's ear, and the horseman suddenly became happy, nodding vigorously, as if he had seen his ancestor.

Gongsun Jian asked curiously, "General Yu, what did you tell him?" ”

"It's nothing, just let him wait here all day today, and pay the money every day."

Gongsun Jian pursed his lips, no wonder the groom was so happy, if he gave the silver by day, he wouldn't have to work all day today, and he could still get the silver, and everyone was willing to do this kind of business.

Gongsun Jian passed by Zhongcheng and did not enter, there were no less than 100 scholars guarding the large open space called Mindao in Zhongcheng and Qiancheng, and ordinary people could not enter without the edict inside.

I heard Yu Youjun say that there is still a road called the Royal Road in the Houcheng and the Middle City, and the civil and military officials all take that road, but the Royal Road is not here.

The back city was much colder than the front city because most of the officials of the imperial court, and there were no shops or peddlers and pawns on the streets, and some were just people dressed as maids and servants in horse-drawn carriages.

Yu Youjun was summoned to Beijing, when he borrowed to live in the home of Cheng Chunlin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he found the area of Shangshu Mansion with his memory, the whole area is as big as half of Beicheng, and several people asked while walking to find the mansion of Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Yu Youjun, a dignified adult, is like an ordinary petitioner, he straightened his clothes and gently slammed the door.

A small door next to the main entrance opened, revealing an old man's head, "Who came to Shangshu Mansion and what is the matter?" ”

Yu Youjun put one hand on his back and the other on his chest, neither arrogant because the other party was an old man in the porter, nor annoyed because the other party only opened the small door a little bit, and said in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant: "I am the new envoy of the Northern Xinjiang Province, and yesterday the official has informed the second young master of your mansion in advance, and today I came to visit Lord Shangshuliu of the Criminal Department, and please let me know." ”

The old man narrowed his eyes and ......

Since the envoy took office, he has never seen an official chartered by the imperial dynasty, this is a big official who is even older than his own master! He muttered in his heart, seeing that this person was not very richly dressed, and the two young men behind him were dumbfounded, not like the envoys who had come from afar...... But if it's really the master who I haven't seen before, and he turns people away, if this spreads, where will the adult's face be put in the future.

This series of questions fermented in the old man's stomach, but he was used to seeing thousands of people in the world, and no matter how doubtful he was, he had to face it squarely, although the two young people were like fools, but the momentum of this middle-aged man was as good as that of adults.

The old man arched his hand, and Feng Yuan said: "Please also ask this adult to forgive me, my family is in poor health, please wait for a while, I will come when I enter the mansion and report to see if my family can meet the guests." ”

"It's okay, we'll wait a minute."

The old man glanced at Yu Youjun gratefully, turned around and disappeared, the small door was still open.

Yu Youjun hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed, this small door is not closed, but he is very knowledgeable, it is obvious that the old man does not know him, I don't know if he is really a strategic envoy, this door is not closed is to see how Yu Youjun chooses.

The old man said, please wait a moment, so wait inside the door or outside the door? He didn't say it.

If Yu Youjun is confirmed to be a strategic envoy, it will be nothing if he enters the door, and if he doesn't enter the door, the old man also has a set of sayings.

Yu Youjun looked back at Gongsun Jian, "Boy, learn a little." ”

Gongsun Jian nodded and asked, "Then we can't get in?" ”

"Of course you don't go in, you won't be able to learn anything if you go in, and I'll let you see how exquisite the stewards of the high-ranking officials' families are."
