Before Su Qiange could answer, Xue Chen, who had swallowed the fish meatballs and vegetables into his stomach, spoke.

"This kind of thing, Master Wu naturally has to evaluate and evaluate, otherwise the businessman will do it in vain for so many years."

"That's right." Wu Yan nodded, and immediately looked at Su Qiange, "My father and I have completely different ideas, I can't understand it, but I can repeat it to you." ”

According to Wu Yan's retelling, Master Wu thought that Shen Junmo must have been taken away by someone above.

After that, what Master Wu said was very vague, Wu Yan said a lot, and it sounded a little clueless.

But according to understanding, the person who took Shen Junmo must have a deep relationship with Shen Junmo.

This relationship is not clear to the young generation in Qingcheng, even the old people, not much.

Otherwise, Wu Yan would not be unclear, and Master Wu would not say it differently from Wu Yan.

"This thing should be a secret." Xue Chen said, "So what Master Wu said is not obvious. ”

Su Qiange, Xiao Qing and Xiao Li also nodded, agreeing with Xue Chen's idea.

"But who will it be?"

As soon as Su Qiange's words landed, he heard a knock on the door outside.

"Who?" Xiao Li said vigilantly.

After all, Su Qiange and Xue Chen came out of the north secretly, and this time should be the time to be vigilant.

Outside whispered, "There's a letter from the north." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Li turned his head to look at Xue Chen, and saw Xue Chen nodding before he got up and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, it was a man in black, holding a letter in his hand, and after handing it to Xiao Li, the man in black disappeared.

Xiao Li had vaguely seen these black-clothed people a few times along the way, but he had never seen them head-on.

I saw it this time, but I couldn't even see my face clearly.

Turning around with the envelope, Xiao Li closed the door and handed the letter to Xue Chen.

Xue Chen took the envelope and opened it and looked at it, then turned his head to look at Su Qiange.

"The emperor decreed that we should be pardoned for going out of the north, and in order to worry about not being noticed that something was wrong, the little boy has already set off with people."

"Now?"

Xue Chen nodded and closed the letter in his hand by the way.

"At this time, I had expected it, after all, Songjiang solved the drought problem at the root when the tide was high." After a pause, Xue Chen said, "It's just that the matter in Songjiang is strange, and I can't think of the reason yet." ”

Hearing this, Su Qian's singer was stunned.

"You don't have to have any reason, anyway, people can't figure out the affairs of mountains and rivers." Su Qiange said.

Xue Chen looked at Su Qiange for a long time before nodding.

"That's right." Saying that, Xue Chen smiled at Su Qiange, "Then let's eat, in a few days we will be able to walk openly." ”

"That's right."

Xiaoqing picked up the rice bowl and looked at Su Qiange, "Sister Su, when are you going to see Uncle Su and Aunt Su?" The old couple hasn't seen you for a long time, and I miss you. ”

"Come on, as soon as the people on the other side arrive, I can go home, the people above are watching, I will go to see them now, they will be affected."

capital

Shen Shangshu also received the news that the emperor ordered the north to let Su Qiange and Xue Chen come out.

"So fast?" Putting down the scroll in his hand, Shen Shangshu looked at his subordinates standing below, frowned, and said, "Isn't it the news that I only got the news of the high tide in Songjiang two days ago?" ”

"Yes, but almost as soon as we got the news, the palace received a letter from the north, telling the emperor about it."

The subordinate said and looked at Shen Shangshu.

"Shang Shu...... Is it possible that the other party knows what we are doing secretly? ”

"Impossible!"

Shen Shangshu slapped his face on the table and said in a deep voice, "Except for you and me, not many people know about this matter, let alone them who are far away in the north." ”

The subordinate hesitated, but still said boldly.

"But they have Xue Chen on their side, and according to Xue Chen's intelligence, they deduce these things...... It shouldn't be that hard. ”

Hearing this, Shen Shangshu slanted his eyes at his subordinates standing below.

"It seems that you admire Xue Chen very much?"

When the subordinate heard this, he knew that Shen Shangshu was already angry, so he quickly "poofed" and knelt on the ground.

"Lord Shangshu, no, the subordinates are single-minded towards you, and there are no second thoughts, it is really that Xue Chen is not simple, you need to be careful everywhere, and the subordinates don't want our plan to have an accident!"

After the subordinate's words landed, the room was silent for a long time, as if all the air had frozen, and the subordinates' forward backs began to sweat, and after a while, they soaked their shirts.

Only then did Shen Shangshu speak, "Okay, this official knows that you are loyal, but you should believe me even more, this official can get to where he is today, and he has not missed every step." ”

"Yes! Be! Your Excellency is right. ”

The subordinate hurriedly kowtowed and agreed, fearing that one would make Shen Shangshu angry.

"Then, ...... next" The subordinate looked at Shen Shangshu, who could bring Shen Shangshu's statement.

Shen Shangshu raised the book in his hand and said while looking at the content on it.

"I remember that on the way back to the capital in the north, there was a section of the road that should have been unguarded by officers and soldiers, and there were quite a lot of mountain bandits."

As he spoke, Shen Shangshu looked at his subordinates standing below and said as if worried.

"You say, can this shopkeeper Su and Xue Xiaohou survive it? Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, these mountain bandits are said to be very powerful. ”

The subordinate's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Yes, what my lord said is that those mountain bandits are said to be extremely vicious, and their subordinates can only pray for the blessings of Shopkeeper Su and the little marquis."

That night, a group of people secretly left the capital and went north.

Imperial

In the Taiji Palace, Yun Jiuxiao wore a robe and a gold silk embroidered pillow, holding a fold in his hand, and looked at it page by page.

Seeing the problem, he raised his hand and Jiang Ren handed him the pen for the criticism, and Yun Jiuxiao only commented on it, circled it.

Outside the door, the little eunuch lowered his body, walked forward quickly, and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, there's news from outside the city."

"Hmm." Yun Jiuxiao's gaze remained on the fold, and he lazily waved his empty hand, "Say." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, news came from outside the city, saying that a team of men and horses was rushing to the north at three o'clock today."

Hearing this, Yun Jiuxiao raised his eyes slightly, "Have you investigated who it is?" ”

"Yes......" The little eunuch hesitated, but this time, he was locked by Yun Jiuxiao's sight, and the little eunuch immediately said when he saw this, "It's Shen Shangshu's person." ”

"Hmm."

Yun Jiuxiao nodded, put down the fold in his hand, and looked at the little eunuch below.

"Tell me why Shen Shangshu sent people to the north."

"This ......" The little eunuch hesitated, looked at Yun Jiuxiao and then at Jiang Ren, hoping that Jiang Ren could give him advice, whether he should answer this question or not.

It is not a good thing for eunuchs to do political lessons.

But Yun Jiuxiao waved his hand.

"Hey~ What are you looking at? Look at Jiang Ren, Jiang Ren can't give you an answer, I want to ask you, what do you think. ”

The little eunuch was so anxious that he almost sweated, how could the emperor ask him about this thing.

But if he didn't answer, his fate would be even more unpredictable, and after thinking about it, the little eunuch finally said what he thought.

"Minions...... The servant thinks that Shen Shangshu probably knows that you have given a pardon to Xue Xiaohou Ye and wants to ......"

"What do you want?" Yun Jiuxiao leaned over and asked.

"I want to ...... wants to get rid of Su Qiange and Xiao Hou Ye in one fell swoop. ”

After speaking, the little eunuch's legs were weak, and he felt that he had no strength in his body, and almost fell to his knees.

"Oh? Is it? After asking, Yun Jiuxiao chuckled and looked at Jiang Ren on the side, "You see he knows all about this, he understands everything." ”

Jiang Ren laughed with him, but his face was bitter and gradually difficult to look at.

I saw that after Yun Jiuxiao laughed wildly, he threw down the fold in front of him.

"Even a little eunuch can see it, and he expects me to pretend not to see it, he is really getting more and more presumptuous!"

The people of the Taiji Hall knelt on the ground when they heard this, and said tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is angry."

"Anger? I'm not angry, what's angry? You all think I'm angry? Saying that, Yun Jiuxiao looked at Jiang Ren, "Do you think so too?" ”

Jiang Ren lowered his head and didn't speak.

"Why am I angry?" Yun Jiuxiao smiled and waved his hand, and his wide clothes flew in the air twice, "Don't be angry, I'm not angry, this is a good thing." ”

As he spoke, Yun Jiuxiao pointed to the little eunuch below.

"You, tell me why I said this is a good thing, right, reward!"

The little eunuch was already trembling with fright,

"Your Majesty...... Minion...... Minion ......"

"Don't say it?" Yun Jiuxiao stood up straight and waved his hand, "Okay, if you don't say anything, you will drag it out and cut it!" ”

"Nope! Your Majesty! Said the minion! Said the minion! ”

The little eunuch hurriedly forgot the etiquette, and hurriedly raised his head to look at Yun Jiuxiao.

"Your Majesty, the servant said! Said the minion! ”

Seeing this, Yun Jiuxiao flicked his sleeves, squatted on the couch, nodded and looked at the little eunuch like a play, "Okay, you say." ”

"Minions...... I privately think that Your Majesty is now sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and it is best for the snipe and clam to compete for the profit of the fisherman, and whoever wins is good for Your Majesty, and it is even better for both to lose. ”

After speaking, the little eunuch immediately lowered his head and stopped talking, trembling and not knowing whether what he was doing was right or wrong.

Yun Jiuxiao looked at the little eunuch who was hanging his head and nodded, and raised his hand to wave.

"Well said, reward!"

When the little eunuch heard this, he immediately bowed down and bowed down in spite of the big opening and closing.

Yun Jiuxiao said indifferently like a bystander extracted from everything.

"Alright, alright, take it."

A group of guards stepped forward to lift the little eunuch and take him away, and everyone in the hall was blown away by Yun Jiuxiao, and for a while, only Yun Jiuxiao and Jiang Ren remained.

Jiang Ren looked at Yun Jiuxiao sitting silently on the couch and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, it's cold, I'll ask someone to add some more charcoal fire to you."

"No, you don't." Yun Jiuxiao waved his hand, "When the world is submissive, I will be warm." ”

"Your Majesty." Jiang Ren said softly, "Those who followed Xue Chen and Su Qiange, as well as the golden captain, are the royal soldiers...... You...... Don't you care at all? ”

Hearing this, Yun Jiuxiao turned his head to look at Jiang Ren, who was squatting.

"One will make ten thousand bones wither, this is what you told me before, what? Forgot? ”

"The old slave doesn't dare!" Jiang Ren knelt down and said, "It's just that there are a lot of golden captains who follow the two of them after all, and the old slave is worried that it will be a loss to the royal family if too many elites die." ”

Hearing this, Yun Jiuxiao nodded.

"Yes, but which one of Xue Chen or Shen Shangshu doesn't contribute more than them? Now that the matter has come to this, let it be in accordance with the will of God. ”

As he spoke, Yun Jiuxiao waved his hand and stood up and left the Taiji Hall.

Jiang Ren looked at Yun Jiuxiao's back, sighed, and waved the dust to follow, "Your Majesty, wait for the old slave!"

River Village.

The group of elders looked at Xiao Lin chopping wood, put his hands into his sleeves, sat on the pony on the side, and puffed the cigarette pouch on his lips while watching.

After several clicks, he pulled out his hand and said to Kobayashi with a cigarette pouch, "Okay, okay, enough, this can be burned for a month." ”

Xiao Lin put down the axe in his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and looked at the group of elders.

"Okay, that's enough if you've said that's enough."

The group of elders looked at Xiao Lin with cigarette pouches and pots, and the old man's voice was a little hoarse, "You have been running to me every day for the past two days, and you will work for me at every turn, are you begging me for something?" ”
