Chapter 15: Heartlessness (2)

"Mother, you see what my father wrote in the letter, he led the caravan to get received by the new king in Dashi, and obtained several privileges for customs clearance! His experience this time was simply wonderful! Shang Yu happily held up the letterhead in his hand and said.

He had heard from his father about the trade in the Western Regions, and the national customs of the Great Eaters were special, and the tariffs remained high. The letter vaguely revealed that the new king of the Great Food Kingdom intended to actively develop goods trading with merchants in the Central Plains, and to carry out trade transit with Rome and other countries further west.

Shang Yu's father represented the caravan of the Lu Clan, which was the first to meet the Central Plains caravan after the new king of the Great Food took office, such a good news, from Shang Yu's current knowledge analysis, the Western Regions business will have a period of prosperity again due to the decision of the new Great Food King, and the Lu Clan's business branch throughout the Central Plains will get more opportunities for trade and development.

"Xiao Yu! I'm only interested in your father's safety, and nothing else is my concern! A month later, they arrived at Jining Road, and it was a great pleasure that he would be able to return home to join us before the end of the year! Xiao Yu! Mother will go to Yunzhen Temple tomorrow to thank the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion, it must be the Bodhisattva to bless your father and he is fine! A tear flashed from the corner of Shang Mei's eyes, but he said with a happy smile on his face.

"Oh! Mother, why did you say that Dad wanted to join the caravan? The Great Food Country is thousands of miles away, there are all kinds of dangers along the way, and there are thousands of miles of desert Gobi, and my father's monthly money is only a few taels, is it really worth it? Shang Yu looked very happy when he saw his mother, but he suddenly asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Hearing his son's words, Shang Mei turned his head, and said with a helpless smile on his face: "It's only because your father knows the Fanbang language of the Western Regions and is very familiar with the terrain of the Western Regions, that this time he will lead the caravan on the road again, and Mr. Lu also promised that this will be the last time your father will take the caravan to the Western Regions." ”

"I begged your father not to go again, but he wouldn't listen! After your father came back with the caravan this time, our merchant no longer owed the Lu family any favors! Shang Meishi said this, but his face suddenly showed a trace of regret.

Shang Yu was greatly surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Mother! My dad owes Lu's favor? What does this mean? ”

Seeing Shang Yu asking, Shang Mei couldn't help but regret that he had accidentally said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, the old master of the Lu family has the grace of knowing your father, when your father went to the city to look for the opportunity to work, it was the head of the Lu family who hired him, so that your father became a caravan leader in the Western Regions Trade Road, and went to the Western Regions once every three years, this is the sixth time your father has gone to the Western Regions!" ”

Shang Yu didn't doubt it, and couldn't help but say after hearing it: "It turns out that Daddy has actually arrived in the Western Regions six times, and I only remember two or three times when I was young. It turns out that in order to repay the favor, my father will venture to the Western Regions, mother! Daddy said that he got a very precious set of treasures in the big food, and I don't know what it will be? ”

Seeing that his son didn't ask again, Shang Mei's family put his mind at ease, raised his head and looked at his son and said, "Xiao Yu! Your dad finally has news! And you also successfully entered the Lu Mansion, how does the young master treat you? To be a scholar, you have to do your part! ”

"Mother! The young master was very good to me, and I, a scholar, was only a companion to the book, and didn't do heavy work! Please rest assured. Shang Yu saw that his mother asked about his affairs in the Lu Mansion, and hurriedly replied.

"Xiao Yu! The letter has been read, and you have been out for a long time! Hurry up and go back to Lu Mansion to accompany the young master of the table, and you have to keep your duty as a scholar! Do you understand what Mother means? Shang Mei stretched out his hand to take the letter from Shang Yu's hand, and one hand couldn't help but touch his son's forehead and said softly.

Seeing that his mother cared so much about him, Shang Yu immediately felt a warm current in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mother! My son knows, and I'll go back to Lu's house! Daddy will be back in two months. Mother, you have to take care of your body, I'll go say hello to the little fourth brother and go back. With that, he stood up and saluted Shang Mei.

"Hmmm! My Xiao Yu also knows these manners now, it seems that Mr. Lu has taught you a lot! Shang Mei's heart couldn't help but move, and he smiled and motioned for his son to leave.

Xiao Si was ordered to summon a carriage to send Lu Wan back to Lu Mansion at this time, and just walked to a short distance and an alley, Lu Wan in men's clothes jumped out of the car and fled halfway, so that Xiao Si hurriedly got out of the car to follow, but Lu Wan got into the crowd and soon disappeared.

Xiao Si had no choice but to drive back to the warehouse to report to Lu Shaobei.

"Mr. Lu! The second lady jumped out of the car and fled, I couldn't catch up......" Xiao Si said to Lu Shaobei with some anger.

"She dares to do this, I will enter the mansion in the evening and tell the old man about it, if outsiders know that Miss Lu Fu is wearing men's clothes and swaggering through the market, won't it become the laughing stock of the whole world? I persuaded her for a long time, what a gift! Hearing Xiao Si's report, Lu Shaobei, who has always been amiable to others, couldn't help but say angrily.

However, Shang Yu missed it with Xiao Si and was on his way back to Lu Mansion.

It was almost noon, although he was already a little hungry in his stomach, Shang Yudi was in a very good mood, mainly because his father had news, and secondly, because his mother's body really seemed to have no problems.

But halfway through, Shang Yu suddenly remembered something, and said in his heart: "The announcement in front of the county lord's mansion is obviously that Zeng Ziyi stole the article of the young master!" I should immediately rush back to the mansion to explain this matter to the young master!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to go straight back to Lu Mansion quickly, so he took a small path and walked into an alleyway.

This alley is basically a passage to the civilian area, because it is almost noon, and there are very few people in the alley at this time, only some bamboo that is being dried are lined up in bundles in the alley, and there is a carriage, a coachman is holding a straw bag to feed the horses, and on the cart there are several large wooden barrels, which look like a cart for collecting manure in the city.

Shang Yu just glanced at the car and walked through here, although the road was very narrow, but the distance was much closer, thinking of Shen Fu kneeling down to his book, Shang Yu couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"It's just that the book is a summary of my recent days, but fortunately it's not comprehensive! I can get it back in two days, and it doesn't completely reveal what my master taught me! The young master's article was plagiarized, if he knew about this matter, he didn't know how to deal with it? ”

While he was hurrying along and thinking about these words, a net suddenly fell from the sky, and his head covered him.

"Hah! This little scholar will actually take this path! I really didn't expect it, hehe! Immediately afterwards, Shang Yu felt a sound of wind coming from the back of his head, and after a sharp pain, he lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of his eyes.

"Hey! Are we going to discount this kid's leg now? A young man with a thick wooden stick laughed and turned to the coachman who had already collected the straw bag not far away.

"What fun is it to discount his legs! Let's just tie him up with the young lady of Nalu Mansion and send him to the third alley of the alley, and Zeng Gongzi will come to eat flowers and wine again in the evening, and we will give them directly to Zeng Gongzi, wouldn't it be better for him to dispose of it himself? The coachman threw the straw grain bag in his hand on the car and walked towards the place where Shang Yu had passed out at a very fast speed.

"If we have two thousand taels of silver, our brothers will no longer have to stay in the alley to be that boring little gangster, we can buy more than ten acres of fertile land per person, and we can live a better life!" The man with the stick in his hand couldn't help but smile and said.

"Yes! Put this boy and that little girl's skin in a wooden barrel! Just wait for the evening when the official Zeng Gongzi comes, we can sit on the ground and raise the price! ”

As they spoke, the two lifted Shang Yu up, walked to the carriage, opened a large bucket lid, and stuffed Shang Yu inside.

A headache came, Lu Wan shook her head grossly, she opened her eyes but couldn't see anything, it was pitch black in front of her, she wanted to move, but suddenly found that her body had been tied up, and she wanted to make a sound, but she could only make a whining sound, and her mouth was also stuffed with things.

After she was horrified to find out that she had been kidnapped, she began to regret not going back to the mansion directly with Xiaosi in the carriage, and she resented Shang Yu in her heart: "It's all that damn wooden fish!" If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been scolded by Uncle Lu, let alone tied up.

She shifted her body, trying to find a more comfortable position, but she felt that the space she was in was very small, and when she shook, she realized that there was still a person crowded next to her, and her breathing was very weak, and it seemed to be sitting face to face opposite her.

After realizing this, Lu Wan couldn't help but be frightened, and thought desperately: "Who will kidnap me, and who will be this person who is tied up with me?" ”

Just as he was thinking this, his position suddenly became quiet, and then he heard a man's voice ask, "Brother, have you succeeded?" ”

"Got it! The boy and the little lady's skin were both delivered, and they could be served when the boy came in the evening, and they could do whatever they wanted! ”

"Hey, hey! If the son can pay a lot of money, we will give him the little girl's skin, the first night of the richest daughter in Quanzhou, such a sexy thing, this kind of thing that the son will not be able to resist this temptation! ”

"Yes! Who let that Shen Fu offend that son, but if it spreads, it won't be good? As he spoke, Lu Wan felt that the emptiness in his body moved again.

"In this kind of place, only the sisters exist, even if it is spread, the son will not have any trouble, as long as the Miss Lu family somehow steals into the land of Fengyue and pretends to be a sister! Hehehe! A low laugh came, making Lu Wan feel as if he had fallen into an abyss.

"Who did my cousin offend? So that I was arrested, the land of wind and moon, the first night? Could it be ...... here" Lu Wan listened to the words of the two people outside, and his body trembled with fear, and he kept thinking about the conversation between the two outside.

"Lord Zhou! I want to see Lord Zhou, so how can Zeng Ziyi impersonate my article as his? At this time, Shen Fu was being pulled out by two official scholars.

"Shen Fu! Master Zhou is now reviewing the test papers, and I don't have time to listen to your rudeness! If you are no longer interested, you will be ordered to be beaten out by the guards of the Officers and Students. An older geographer said with a gloomy face.

When Shen Fu heard this, a trace of anger appeared on his face, and he said hurriedly: "Okay! In that case, I will report directly to the county lord! At that time, Lord Zhou will definitely lose the black veil on his head, I didn't expect such a dirty thing to happen in the official school! It's chilling! As soon as he said that, he turned around and walked away, and walked towards the main gate of the official school without looking back.

"Brother Ning Yuan, how credible do you say Shen Fu's words?"

"Ninety percent out of ten is true, but I hope it's false! Even if Lord Zhou made a fake and made his nephew be appreciated by the county lord and sent to the city as an official, then Shen Fu would not be able to seek justice. ”

"Oh! Brother Ning Yuan, tell me, why is this happening? ”

"It's very simple, listen to me...... two scholars looked at Xuefu who was walking towards the main entrance in the government academy and began a conversation.

Half an hour later, Shen Fu was blasted out of the county lord's mansion and was directly thrown to the ground.

"Oh my God! Is there any justice in this world? Let's go, I don't want this fame! Shen Fu stood up on the ground for a long time, and dozens of people around him stopped to watch.

He glanced at the county lord's mansion with resentment, stopped talking, and staggered step by step towards the west side of the street.

In the county lord's mansion, Zhao Qing looked at Xiang Lan'er, who was sitting behind the table, and asked, "County lord!" Why don't you see that Shen Fu? ”

"Zhao Qing! This matter is about my face, I didn't expect that there would be such an official in the official school, if I saw Shen Fu, then I would admit that I was the county lord, and I was actually deceived, and I also sent a person who did not learn and did not know how to send to the city! Do you think I can see this student named Shen Fu at this moment? ”

After hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Zhao Qing's eyes, but he did not answer.

But Xiang Lan'er continued: "Zhao Qing! Find a few powerful and powerful soldiers, and quietly follow behind Zeng Ziyi, such people who don't learn and don't know how to do it are actually the first official appointed by my Xianglan'er, how can this really be true! In order to maintain my royal face, although I can't deal with it in the open, I have to start behind my back and find an opportunity to get rid of this person quietly! Xiang Lan'er said with a cold face.

Zhao Qing's heart sank after hearing this, and he couldn't help but think: "It turns out that the county lord deliberately didn't see that Shen Fu for this reason!" ”

But he immediately bowed his hand and said: "The county lord is wise, and the minister obeys orders!" ”
