Chapter 403: Nothing Else
At noon, a man hurried back to Mei Yufeng's house.
"The lord of the city can be in the mansion?" The man handed the horse to the servant in the house, looked at him and asked, "I have something important to tell you." ”
The little servant replied: "There is a distinguished guest in the house, and the city lord is receiving him in the front hall. ”
The man answered, and as he walked towards the house, he said, "Well, I see. ”
In the front hall, Mei Yufeng looked at Xu Hao, who was sitting at the bottom, and asked, "Lord Xu came to the door today, I don't know what happened?" ”
Xu Haoming is an official of this Qingfeng City, although he is not honest as an official on weekdays, but he has indeed done some practical things for the people in this Qingfeng City, but Xu Haoli almost never comes to the city lord's mansion, and he suddenly came today, Mei Yufeng's eyes were a little puzzled.
The corners of Xu Haoming's mouth hooked up a smile, and said to Mei Yufeng: "I have some leisure today, and I think that I haven't come to talk to the city lord for a long time, so I specially prepared some light gifts today, and I also ask the city lord not to dislike it." ”
Mei Yufeng smiled, glanced at a few things on the table, and said, "I asked Lord Xu to break the bill, I don't know if Lord Xu is here, what do you want to talk about with the city lord?" ”
Xu Haoming was just about to speak, when a maid came over to Xu Hao with a teacup and said, "Lord Xu, you use tea." ”
Xu Haoming took the teacup, and after the maid retreated, he looked at Mei Yufeng and said, "I don't know if the city lord has heard the name Situ Ziyu." ”
Mei Yufeng frowned slightly, "Situ Ziyu? ”
Xu Haoming nodded, Mei Yufeng thought for a while, and said a little incomprehensibly: "I've heard of it, a famous beauty, who hasn't heard of the words Situ Ziyu?" ”
It's just that after the restoration of the Li Kingdom, Situ Ziyu disappeared, and no one knew her whereabouts anymore.
This Xu Haoming came to visit today, Mei Yufeng originally thought that there was something to ask for, but he didn't expect to talk about Situ Ziyu without a head.
Xu Haoming saw that Mei Yufeng still answered, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, "Your Majesty will choose a concubine soon, and the Shoufu Lord in the capital has found Sai Xishi to accept her as a righteous daughter, and she is ready to sacrifice it to Your Majesty when the time comes." ”
At first glance, these two sentences did not match the preamble, but Mei Yufeng quickly understood the meaning, he glanced at the maids around him, and suddenly ordered: "You all go down, no one is allowed to come in without the orders of the city lord." ”
Several maids saluted and said, "Yes, the slave and maid are retired." ”
As he spoke, several maids retreated one after another, and after they all left, only Mei Yufeng and Xu Haoming were left sitting on chairs in the front hall.
Xu Haoming got up and closed the door, sat down on the chair again, and said, "City Lord Mei, Situ Ziyu is in the White Bird Nunnery, and he came here today, and Xia Guan is just to tell the news to City Lord Mei." ”
Mei Yufeng smiled and said, "Why did Lord Xu tell this city lord such important news?" ”
Knowing Situ Ziyu's location, as long as he sends some people over and imprisons Situ Ziyu in his own mansion, he is not afraid that Situ Ziyu will not accept him after a while.
With Situ Ziyu's appearance, it must be not difficult to be selected by Zhou Qingwu.
At that time, how many princes and grandsons in the capital tried their best for Situ Ziyu.
Xu Haoming looked at Mei Yufeng and said slowly: "Xia Guan is just a small official in this Qingfeng City, Xia Guan has no lofty pursuits, he just wants to spend the rest of his life in peace, and today he will tell the city lord the news, naturally he is also a little selfish, I just hope that after the Mei City Lord gets the beauty, he can look at the heartfelt heart of the lower official, thank you for taking care of the lower official, and the lower official will be content." ”
Mei Yufeng looked at Xu Haoming, who was sitting on a chair holding a teacup, with some doubts in his eyes: "Lord Xu only asks for these?" ”
Such a good thing, Mei Yufeng didn't believe that it would fall on him.
Xu Haoming nodded, "The lower officials don't dare to be insatiable, just ask for this is enough." ”
When the words fell, Xu Haoming took a sip of tea with a teacup in his hand, and his posture was very indifferent.
Mei Yufeng looked at Xu Haoming for a long time, and finally spoke: "Lord Xu's heart will be accepted by the city lord, if there is really a book to support the day when the tide is rising, it will naturally be indispensable to the benefits of Lord Xu." ”
Xu Haoming responded with a smile and said, "Then the lower official mentioned that he would like to thank the Mei City Lord here, and I also wish the Mei City Lord to be able to rise step by step." ”
As he spoke, Xu Haoming put down the teacup and stood up, "There are still some important matters to deal with in the Xiaguan Mansion today, so I won't bother the Mei City Lord much, and the Xiaguan will retire." ”
Mei Yufeng nodded slightly, "Master Xu go slowly, come here, send Lord Xu out." ”
Outside the door, an attendant came in and answered, then looked at Xu Minghao and said respectfully, "Lord Xu, please come here." ”
Xu Haoming stepped past the threshold, a smile crossed his eyes, he sent people to look for the news of Situ Ziyu for many days, and finally confirmed that Situ Ziyu had settled in Baique Nunnery.
It's not that he doesn't want to take advantage of this opportunity, it's that he can't do it.
Xu Haoming understands his identity very well, not to mention whether he can ask Situ Ziyu to enter the palace willingly to participate in the selection of concubines, and he is not even sure whether he can keep Situ Ziyu in his own house.
As long as Situ Ziyu is taken back to his house, then this news can no longer be hidden.
When the time comes, how many people will come to fight?
The beauty has become a hot potato, and just thinking about it makes me feel a headache.
He is just a petty official in Qingfeng City, and his official position is even ranked below the prefect, Xu Haoming knows that he can't keep a beauty like Situ Ziyu, let alone send him to the palace, and from then on he will be added to the rank of knight.
Even if he did it, if Situ Ziyu had a strong personality and angered Zhou Qingwu in this palace, then he would definitely suffer from it.
Instead of taking so many risks, it is better to tell Mei Yufeng the news.
He is the city lord of this Qingfeng City, who wouldn't know, the city lord of each city is a person trusted by His Majesty Zhou Qingwu today.
If he got Situ Ziyu, no one would dare to fight in this Qingfeng City.
Not to mention anything else, Mei Yufeng's heart is ruthless, others have not seen it, but Xu Haoming has already seen it.
What's more, even if something went wrong with Situ Ziyu after entering the palace, he just told Situ Ziyu's location, and whether to go to find it or not was Mei Yufeng's business.
When the time comes, even if he wants to blame himself, he will not be able to take care of himself.
Xu Haoming thought as he walked, and soon he had already walked to the door, looking at the carriage parked not far away, the smile on the corner of Xu Haoming's mouth deepened.
After getting into the carriage, Xu Haoming's groom who was driving the carriage commanded: "Let's go!" It's time to go home. ”
