Chapter 398: A Chance Opportunity
Hama thought that with his friendship with Tokhtar, he would never be estranged from himself because of his momentary gaffe, but he actually cut himself in the court before he could go to apologize, and actually gave himself an official position under Ruzhong Bai.
What does that mean?
Am I not as good as one of your dogs?
Have you forgotten that my family was rescued by me?
Okay, you're off!
You are so ungrateful, I am really blind, from now on you and I will part ways, sooner or later I will settle this account with you!
Not to mention that the civil and military officials were suspicious of Toto's moves, even Emperor Zhizheng was a little surprised, thinking that it was possible that he had sent Hama to him to inquire about the news and was discovered by him?
The emperor couldn't think of a reason for a while, but he also approved the request to take off, and Hama came out to receive the decree through gritted teeth.
This time, Ru Zhongbai's heart is completely happy, let you, the fat toad, jump all day long, this time it's time for you to stop, right?
The court dissipated, and Hama left in a huff, and when he saw that he looked like this, he said that his arrogance had not been suppressed, and he returned home unhappily, and there was a rift between the two.
Hama returned to his mansion with hatred and anger, and he just wanted to take revenge immediately, but he had no choice but to get rid of his authority and cover the sky, just the staff gathered in his mansion were all capable people, and he was not his opponent at all single-handedly.
Hama thought about it, his mind suddenly moved, and he immediately called the housekeeper, and instructed him to spend money privately to find some capable people to come to the house, and he also needed some think tanks to help him come up with ideas, anyway, he has gained enough benefits in the palace over the years, and this little money is just a drop in the bucket.
The steward gladly received the order, and took a thousand taels of silver bills from the account room in his arms and went straight to the restaurants and teahouses in Dadu, he also knew that these places were the easiest to gather some talented and ambitious capable people, as long as he successfully raised a few capable people for Hama, the silver money in his arms could swallow a small half of it privately.
The steward first picked the most famous restaurant in the capital, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant knew that this was a person from Hama Mansion and personally entertained him.
The steward waved his hand, did not let the shopkeeper follow, and did not go to the private room to sit alone, so he picked a corner in the hall on the first floor and sat down, ordered a table of wine and food to drink by himself, and planned to see if he could find anything here.
After the steward sat down, he looked at the tables and seats on all sides, and those who could afford to eat and drink here were not ordinary people, but after the steward glanced around, he did not see anyone who showed his talents, so he had to drink himself helplessly.
The steward was full of food and drink, and was about to get up to settle the account, when a young man suddenly walked in at the door of the restaurant, this person was dressed extraordinary, and he was wearing a set of fine clothes on his body, not to mention dozens of taels of silver bills, and he was holding a folding fan and beating his palm.
As soon as the young man entered the door, he was extremely high-profile: "The shopkeeper is here, I want to sit in a private room!" ”
The steward boasted that he knew the sons and daughters of many families in the capital, but he had never seen this one, and judging from his tone and appearance, he was a Han man, and the steward was not in a hurry to leave anyway, so he sat down and looked at this side again.
This young man is none other than Su Sheng, who rushed all the way to Dadu from the East China Sea in Taizhou.
Su Sheng did not fall into anxiety after hearing the news of the loss of Xuzhou like others, worried that Wen Xuan would be killed, he knew that he was the "leader", and it was not an exaggeration to say that Wen Xuan's mysterious methods were a god in his eyes.
Because Su Sheng is Wen Xuan's henchman, he probably knows the relationship between Han Lingyue, the holy woman, and his leader, he knows that with Wen Xuan present, Han Lingyue will definitely not be killed, so when he heard that some Yuan soldiers hung the body of the saint in the head of Xuzhou City, he concluded that this was a strategy used by Wen Xuan and others, and came to Dadu to act with confidence.
Su Sheng came here with enough silver money, and as soon as he mixed into Dadu, he bought a suit, and asked the two shadow guards who followed him to buy a mansion and settle down in Dadu, and then sent someone to send a letter back to Sanssouci Island, write clearly where he settled in Dadu, and be sure to write to inform him when Gongzi Wen has news.
Su Sheng had been a disciple of the Ming Sect in Kangjintan, and had also established a night shadow with Wen Xuan, so it was easy for him to run a secret stronghold, and he was convinced that the most dangerous place was safer, and Yuan Bing could not have imagined that he would establish a stronghold under their noses anyway.
It is easy to establish a stronghold, and it is not difficult to recruit some people, but what makes Su Sheng a headache is how he can get some contact with the officials of the Yuan Court and gain their trust, and only by penetrating into them can he find a way to stir up trouble in Dadu.
Su Sheng pondered hard and didn't come up with any good ideas, so he used the stupidest method, since I can't take the initiative to approach you housekeepers, then it would be good for you to take the initiative to approach me?
Su Sheng dared to think and do, so he put on the appearance of a young master of the Kuo family every day, picked two shadow guards to pretend to be servants, and he pretended to be a rich child who came to play in the capital to have fun everywhere.
This is not the first time he has come to this Chunhua Building, the first few times he has left a reputation for making a generous hand here, but there is no greater gain, these days I heard that the victorious Tokhtar has returned, so he came out again to see if he can find out some useful news.
Sure enough, as soon as the shopkeeper of Chunhua Building saw Su Sheng, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Master Su, I'm sorry, the private room on the second floor is full today, if you don't dislike it, the hall on this floor is also comfortable and clean, and I will find a play to sing a little song in a while, you might as well sit here?" ”
There are many people in the hall, which is in line with Su Sheng's intentions, how can there be any reason not to agree? immediately ordered a table of good wine and food, and sat down with two shadow guards.
Seeing this, the steward of Hama Mansion called the shopkeeper and asked him about Su Sheng's origins.
The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "This son's surname is Su, according to him, he was born in a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, this time he came to Beijing to have a look, you don't look at this young man, but he has a high level of learning, every time he drinks himself, he can't help but write a few poems, and even the female actor who comes to our Chunhua Building to sing a little song will look at this son a few more times." ”
When the steward heard this, he was interested, didn't he come here to find someone who was talented and learned? Unexpectedly, there was one in front of him, and he sent the shopkeeper away, and the steward walked to Su Sheng's table.
Su Sheng raised his eyes and saw that this person was dressed in an ordinary way, but his bearing was good, and he came to his table with a smile and didn't speak, so he took the initiative to open his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask what this brother is doing?" ”
The steward then reported to his home with a smile, and Su Sheng was surprised and happy when he heard it, and said in his heart that his opportunity had finally come.
