Chapter VII Sili Mansion

Meng Xingchun is slender and has a clear appearance, which is different from the average person's impression of the fierce gods of Sili Mansion, his body is full of bookishness, elegant manners, and a lovely smile, and he is very enthusiastic about Xu You, the former noble son, and now Qi Min, without the slightest arrogance and self-esteem.

However, Xu You didn't dare to be careless, judging from Meng Xingchun's past experience, anyone who underestimated him now had the grass on the grave three feet high. He folded his thumbs, clasped his hands, raised them above his head, bowed, and said, "See the envoy." ”

Meng Xingchun took two steps forward, held Xu You's arm, and said humbly: "It's just a fake Zuo, I don't dare to be the title of an envoy." ”

The official system of the Sili Mansion is a bit strange, the captain of the Sili is the second grade, which is considered to be the ultimate of the people, but as a deputy Si Li, he only has the official title of five grades, and the fake Zuo is even worse again, only six products, three hundred stones, if the family has a large population, do not engage in some side jobs, such as corruption and bribery, and even the family can not support their families. But the power of Sili Mansion is terrifying, even if the six-grade is fake, the high-ranking officials of the third rank who can be rectified are in pain. The imperial court set up its powers in this way, also for the sake of balance, and deliberately lowered the rank of these eagle dogs, so as not to lose their tails and be difficult to control.

"The king is ordered by the lord to go on business, and he is in front of the princes of Yangzhou, and he is called the king, but it is actually neglected!"

Meng Xingchun smiled slightly, his heart was useful, he took Xu You's hand and sat down side by side on the Hu bed on the side, and said: "I heard that Yixing Qilang is anxious for justice and righteousness, and he is a ranger in the gate. ”

This kind of scene is really going to be torn apart, saying that there is no repetition for three days and three nights, Xu You came to save people, time is pressing, I don't want to praise each other endlessly, and I talked a few words about the customs of Yixing, smiled, and said: "Don't hide it from the envoy, I came to the door today, I really came to ask for something!" ”

Meng Xingchun sat up straight, didn't answer, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then slowly put it down, his expression relaxed and easy, not slow or urgent. Xu You maintained a moderate level of respect, and did not show a trace of impatience, and even the smile on his face was reassuringly gentle. The afterglow of Meng Xingchun's eyes glanced at him, and he was slightly imperceptible, and then he smiled and said, "That Zuo Langjun on Mingyu Mountain was hit by Xi Yuanda's poisonous needle, is his injury serious?" ”

Since letting Gu Yun come forward to find Meng Xingchun to dredge, Xu You never thought that he could hide Zuo Yan's identity anymore, although Gu Yun told Meng Xingchun that he was injured in the tribe in his mansion, but Zuo Yan's sword on Qiantang Lake was brilliant, how could it be a swordsmanship that an idle person could use? Meng Xingchun, as the fake assistant of Sili Mansion, is one of the most well-informed people in the world, and if he wants to hide it, he is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

On that day, Zuo Yan was watching the appearance of the white snake by the Qiantang Lake, and suddenly saw Xi Yuanda rioting, fearing that the people would be hurt, so regardless of life and death, he took the poisonous needle in the sky. Unexpectedly, I couldn't avoid it, and now I am seriously injured and dies frequently, I am like a brother and sister with him, so I have the cheekiness to ask the envoy to save him on the thin face of the people of Qiantang. ”

A few big hats were buttoned down, Meng Xingchun pondered for a moment, and said, "Gu Mingfu came to me a few days ago, and he said the same thing as Weizhi, I don't know ......."

Xu You gave him enough face, and when he heard this, he immediately got up, waved his hand, and said, "Don't blame you, Gu Mingfu is also entrusted by me, and the two things are one thing." It's just that he knew that the envoy was busy with official business, so he didn't dare to visit rashly, so he entrusted Gu Mingfu and asked him to turn around on his behalf. ”

"Sit down, don't do so much courtesy." Waiting for Xu You to kneel on the ground again, Meng Xingchun rubbed the teacup and said with a smile: "Weizhi is too outside, I knew that it was your business, and I had to do it with all my heart." ”

"Don't dare!"

Xu You was a little strange, Meng Xingchun's words were too polite, he was now a Qi people, powerless and powerless, compared to Gu Yun, it was the difference between heaven and earth. But the meaning in the obedient words seems to be bigger than Gu Yun's.

Meng Xingchun pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I've been busy lately, and although Gu Mingfu gave an order, I really can't spare time to deal with it." Of course, now that I know it's a trivial matter, I'll do it right away, come on! ”

An apprentice walked in, Meng Xingchun took out a sandalwood sign from his arms, and said, "Go to Linwu Mountain in Wu County, find the antidote to the poisonous needle used by Xi Yuanda, and send it to Xu Langjun's mansion before sunset tomorrow." ”

From Qiantang to Wu County, take the waterway upstream, and it takes three days and nights to arrive without stopping, and unless you ride a horse on land, and do not count the wear and tear of horses, you can go back and forth between the two places before sunset tomorrow.

Jiangnan lacks horses, although after a hundred years of recuperation, it is no longer the era of poor middle peasants when An Shiyue ascended the throne and even six horses of solid color were not enough, but every horse is an important strategic material, such as the horse of the post station, which can only be used at any cost when sending urgent official documents, just for Zuo Yan, to put it mildly, in the eyes of the imperial court, ten Zuo Yan may not be worth a horse.

"Don't be in such a hurry, you can find the antidote within seven days, which is enough to make Jun Dade." Even though he knew that Meng Xingchun was not a good stubble, such a heroic style made people can't help but be grateful from the bottom of their hearts. Anyway, if you want to give favors, it is better to send them simply and thoroughly, so that people can't find fault with them.

Meng Xingchun smiled, waved his hand, and retreated quietly, saying: "The horses in Sili Mansion are not as squeamish as those raised by Taifu Temple, they are all Shandan horses that are easy to come from Xiliang City, and they run for hundreds of miles like picking up mustard, so there is no big problem. ”

Xiliang is rich in horses, since the Western Han Dynasty set up a horse farm in Zhangye, with Mongolian horses and horses from the Western Regions countries for crossbreeding, breeding the world-famous Shandan horse, well-proportioned, stout and strong, strong and fat, easy to raise and durable, speed and staying power, has always been the first horse of the cavalry.

Shiyi?

Xu You really hadn't heard that Chu Guo had economic and trade contacts with Xiliang, but the former owner of this body was obsessed with martial arts and didn't understand the economy, so he didn't pay much attention to this aspect, which is also reasonable.

"So...... Thank you! ”

Xu You is now poor and white, and he is not afraid of Meng Xingchun's concerns, even if he asks for something else, it will be a matter for the future. The top priority is to save Zuo Yan's life, and nothing else matters.

"A little thing, you don't need to pay attention to it." Another apprentice walked in and whispered a few words to Meng Xingchun's side. Xu You observed the words, stood up at the right time, and said: "You will retire first, and in the future, when you have leisure, you will come back to visit." ”

Meng Xingchun said with a smile: "It's okay, Gu Mingfu sent someone to invite me over, so I won't leave it behind." But next time I come back, I have to inquire about my absence, today is a coincidence, I only came back from Fuchun County in the early morning, otherwise I won't be able to touch it. ”

Xu You's heart sank, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "It's really a coincidence, which shows that I and the envoy are more compatible." ”

"Affinity? I love the word, yes, Karma! ”

Meng Xingchun laughed, took Xu You's hand and sent him to the door, and said, "The White Snake case is over, I will stay in Yangzhou for some time, and I hope to walk around with Weizhi." No matter how you fall in love, if you don't move around, your feelings will inevitably fade! ”

"Dare to disobey?"

Leaving the alley where Meng Xingchun lived, Xu You did not stop, and went directly to the Zhan family's old mansion and saw Qianqin in the boat pavilion. Last time I bet on Qianqin and lost, I was still angry, and I didn't have a good face for Xu Youhun, and I didn't see it when I saw it. Xu You was amused in his belly, but said with a calm face: "It's starting to be unruly again?" That's how Madame taught you how to do the maes? ”

Qianqin's face was pale, she glared at Xu You viciously, helplessly, bent down and saluted, and then raised her head and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"From now on, all the shipwrights who are monitoring Meng Xingchun will be withdrawn. Especially his residence is close to the left, and no one should be left behind! ”

"Why?"

Qianqin was puzzled: "Meng Xingchun was ordered to supervise Yangzhou, if he doesn't know his whereabouts, how to deal with the situation in the future?" In the 17 days after he arrived in Yangzhou, he went out of the Assassin's Mansion and went to Qiantang County at dusk, and not only visited the four surnames of Wu County, but also Liu Mingyi's home and the family of the two dead traders and sent people to investigate. ”

"It's necessary to guard against yourself, but you have to change the way." Xu You said: "The shipwright you sent has been discovered by him, and if he doesn't withdraw, he won't be able to come back in less than three days." ”

This is another favor from Meng Xingchun, although Xu You doesn't know why he values himself so much, but he can't sit idly by and watch the boatmen of the Ship's Pavilion face danger and not rescue.

Meng Xingchun was clever, and quietly told Xu You that he knew about the existence of the boatmen, you can think that this is a warning, but you can also think that this is a favor, because he could have arrested these boatmen, killed them, and threatened Zhan Wenjun, and they would have gained greater benefits, but he chose to tell Xu You.

Every move becomes a river of its own,

In a word, there is no ravine,

Meng Xingchun, not to be underestimated!

"Huh?"

Qianqin was suspicious and said, "The shipwrights who monitored Meng Xingchun were the best spies in the pavilion, and they changed every day, followed in turns, and it was impossible to be exposed. The yellow dog, in the capital, can still rely on the support of the Lord, bark wantonly, and show off his might. When I arrived in Yangzhou, I couldn't see ten miles away, and I couldn't listen to the sound of the wall, so I didn't let anyone play with it? ”

"I don't know how thick the sky is!" Xu You reprimanded, but he also knew that Qianqin would not be convinced, so he was too lazy to rap with her, and said: "I went to visit Meng Xingchun today, and he told me in person, there will be no mistake!" You just do what you are told, and nothing else needs to be said! ”

Qianqin was shocked, no matter how unhappy she was with Xu You, she also knew that such a big thing was not a joke, since it was Meng Xingchun himself, she was afraid that the shipwright sent would really be exposed.

Xu You looked at Qianqin's face and said, "But you don't have to be presumptuous, Sili Mansion has gathered talents from all over the world, and it is not easy for the Boat Pavilion to keep up with these days." ”

This is a word to comfort Qianqin, it is very likely that his whereabouts have been exposed on the first day that the boat pavilion monitored Meng Xingchun, but Meng Xingchun disdained to expose it, either to put a long line to catch a big fish, or to plan it and lead it not to happen. is still the same sentence, anyone who comes out of the Sili Mansion is extremely difficult to guess, and until the last moment, all conjectures may be wrong.

Qianqin is in charge of the pavilion, it can be said that she has put all her effort and energy, and it is also the most proud thing in her small life, whether it is the central government, whether it is political and economic, or whether it is a person or a thing, as long as the pavilion wants to know, you must know that between the palms of your fingers, you have the world.

However, in the face of Si Lifu's peers, or the predecessors of the intelligence community, he was completely defeated before he could fight, which really made Qianqin feel ashamed and frightened.

"No!"

Qianqin bowed down again, put her hands on her forehead and fell to the ground, this time a little more solid, and said: "I will withdraw the person immediately, thank you Lang Jun for the warning grace." ”
