Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Beacon Flames of Heaven and the Sky
Stumbling all the way, it took a whole hour for the group to get out of the dark passage. At this time, the embarrassed Shen Chongming had no complaints in his heart, such a long tunnel, and he didn't know how long the good boy Brother Erdan had been digging with Sikong Wang before he succeeded.
"Sir, slow down." Brother Erdan, who was beating in front, stretched out his hand to support Shen Chongming, whose legs were trembling, the adult hadn't exercised for a while, look at this weak look.
"Where's Chen Xiao?" As soon as he came out, Shen Chongming asked Chen Xiao that he had quietly left the Guogong Mansion like this, and he had to arrange the aftermath, and he must not be known by those spies at home.
"My lord, Chen Xiao hasn't come yet, you can take a breath first, and my subordinates will arrange for someone to boil some hot water." Looking at the people covered in mud, Brother Erdan slipped out after saying that.
"Daddy, is this our new home?" Xiao Ningyuan hid behind Wan Jiayi and looked at the room, looked at Shen Chongming expectantly and asked.
"Hehe, of course. Go ahead and take a look in the courtyard with your brother and see if there's anything to do. Shen Chongming touched the little hair of the two children and smiled. Send these two little hairy heads away, and discuss important matters with the three ladies.
"Yumeng, according to Erdan, this courtyard is not very big with two entrances and two exits, our family, plus Erdan and Yin'er, as well as the guards and maids, this house is tense enough. What do you say about this? Shen Chongming pretended to be worried.
"Really, you don't say that you should prepare a larger mansion, and now the guards will have to suffer." Wan Jiayi complained that she was used to living in a deep house compound outside the city, but she was a little unaccustomed to moving to this small courtyard all of a sudden.
Shen Chongming smiled and quibbled: "It's not to act secretly, if the house is too big, it will be easy to be discovered." ”
"It's not stealing chickens and dogs, why don't you go into the city in a bright way, look at your mud monkey virtue." Wan Jiayi complained that her long hair was also full of mud, and she must have looked ugly now.
Shen Chongming shook his head and said nonsense: "This is what you women don't understand, the reason why we keep moving into the city with the big mansion that we spent so much money on is because Xianggong I recently learned that someone is going to be unfavorable to Xianggong." Now Xianggong has laid a net in our courtyard, just waiting for them to throw themselves into the net. You said that if we swaggered into the city, wouldn't such a good plan fall through? ”
"Little Shenzi, what you said is true?" As soon as she heard that Shen Chongming had such a plan, the little junior sister who was sitting there resting immediately came to her senses, she hadn't done anything with others for a long time.
"Of course it's true, Chen Xiao is busy with this matter now." Shen Chongming said with a serious face. "But you can't go, it's not good to hurt our little baby if you have such a big belly and use a sword with someone to use a sword or sword."
"yes, got it." The little junior sister touched her stomach and said, with a look of reluctance.
Shen Chongming smiled, now the child in the belly of the little junior sister has become the only magic weapon for her to subdue the little junior sister, let her do whatever she wants. "Let's get back to business, how should we arrange this house to fall to the ground? You also know that the recent autumn rain has been continuous, is it a little inappropriate for the guards to sleep in tents in the courtyard? ”
"Yes, everyone has worked hard all day, and if you can't sleep well at night, then it's wrong for you to be your boss." Yan Yumeng was a little worried, "Otherwise, let's find a way to vacate a few rooms, although everyone is squeezed into a bit, they can also shelter from the wind and rain." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, Yumeng said it well, or we can live in one room as a family, so that we can save two rooms." Shen Chongming said happily, finally being bypassed by himself. The day has finally come!
"Talking nonsense, thinking about good things all day long." Wan Jiayi reprimanded with a red face, she already knew Shen Chongming's little idea, and this guy had already mentioned it many times vaguely.
"How can it be nonsense, you wait, I'll find a way to build a big bed." Seeing that Wan Jiayi was the only one who spoke out against it, Shen Chongming didn't wait for others to speak again, but when they agreed to their own methods, they happily walked out to Zhang Luo.
"Sister, tell me what to do, we can't be succeeded by this bad guy." Imagining Shen Chongming's bad appearance, Wan Jiayi felt ashamed.
Yan Yumeng smiled slightly, and said: "Sister, don't worry, if it is not bad as expected, Xianggong will be cocooned and bound himself later, you call the children first, and we will tell them one thing." ”
"Oh, the problem of the bed has been solved, but all the rooms are too small, and our family of six can't live at all, so Xianggong decided to live in a small room for the two children, and the four of us live in another main room, which can also save a room, and it is also a lot more convenient." Shen Chongming said with a smile, he couldn't do anything if he wanted to make a helpless look.
"Daddy, the child wants to live with you, he wants to live with you and listen to stories." Xiao Ningyuan suddenly stepped forward and shook Shen Chongming's arm.
"Daddy, the child wants to listen to the story of the devil tonight." Shen Junen also got involved, and the story told by his father was good.
"Huh?" Shen Chongming wondered for a while, what was going on. "Good baby son, the story will be told another day, Daddy has something important to do tonight."
"Mother, daddy doesn't tell stories!" Xiao Ningyuan's mouth was deflated, and he suddenly burst into tears. My mother said that as long as my father tells her a story tonight, she will let Sanniang teach herself to be a martial arts hero tomorrow!
Xiao Ningyuan cried, and Shen Junen also did the same, the two children competed in general, and the more noisy they became, the bigger the noise.
"Xianggong, this is your fault, you can do it yourself." Wan Jiayi covered her mouth and said on the side, she couldn't help but smile in her heart.
Shen Chongming seemed to understand something, but looking at the two baby sons who were already lying on the ground and rolling around, he could only admit it, picked up one in one hand, and said, "Don't cry, Daddy will tell you a story tonight." With that, he walked out dejectedly. It is said that three women are in one play, and it turns out that this play is a teasing play!
After settling down for a while, he finally coaxed his two sons away and hugged him, and before Shen Chongming could take a breath, Brother Erdan came over. "My lord, Chen Xiao is here, and the hot water has just been prepared, do you wash first or see Chen Xiao first?"
Shen Chongming looked at the two clay dolls, and said weakly: "Let's clean them up first, and I'll talk about it later." With that, he went out with his hands behind his back to see Chen Xiao.
"My lord, everything has been arranged, under your order, the servants in the front yard are not allowed to enter the backyard, the spies planted in the East Factory have been arranged to work in the front yard, and the meals are still prepared, even if others think that you may leave the Guogong Mansion, they are not sure."
"Chen Xiao, do you think someone will really come to assassinate this official these days?" Shen Chongming suddenly asked, the unintentional sentence just now gave him a wake-up call.
Chen Xiao nodded, "My lord, my subordinates think it's very possible." But who it is is impossible to determine who it is. ”
Shen Chongming smiled, and there was a sense of pride in his heart. "In this way, this official still has some weight, and there will be many people who are worried about it."
"My lord, in that case, do you want to send more people to wait for them to fall into the net?" Chen Xiao asked. In the backyard of today's Guogong Mansion, he only arranged a dozen people, one was responsible for confusing the spies, and the other was waiting for the Wuweijiao rebellion to plant explosives to give them a big gift, costing 300,000 taels of silver.
Shen Chongming shook his head, "These indifferent injuries are not necessary, let the people who stay be careful, and withdraw from the state mansion as soon as the situation is not good, it doesn't matter if the gunpowder is buried or not, after all, it is a pity that the mansion of more than 300,000 taels of silver is destroyed in your own hands like this." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it later." Chen Xiao nodded and said, the adult is still the original nature, and he said that he was reluctant to come with the 300,000 taels of silver, and then he really changed his mind.
"Hehe, Shen Chongming actually nested in the backyard of the mansion and refused to show up, this person must have expected the situation to change and waited for someone to come to the door to invite him out of the mountain." Hearing the latest news, Lei Bao took it for granted that Shen Chongming was deliberately posturing to ask for a price.
"My lord, the more than 200 male servants have been found out, most of them are from the Ying Tianfu clan, except for the small traders who are hired farmers, only three of them have worked in the Nanjing City Dart Bureau, and they are all slightly good at fist and foot kung fu." Fanzi said in detail, for fear of being reprimanded by the big stall head if he said a little less.
"Hehe, that's good, just the manpower of Jinyiwei is not my opponent of Dongchang at all. The order went down, mobilized 200 people from the vicinity to gather in Nanjing, and copied Shen Chongming's Guogong Mansion tomorrow night! Lei Leopard sneered all over his face, killing Shen Chongming is another great achievement.
"My lord, in addition to the people in Jinyiwei, is the servant in the front yard ......" Fanzi made a chopping gesture, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but it is the consistent tradition of the East Factory.
Thunderstorm shook his head and said, "The assassination of Shen Chongming is not trivial, once it is known by others that it was our Dongchang who did it, my brothers and I will never end well, and this method will not be used again." The order went down, except for Shen Chongming's family, but those who did not fight back were all let go. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will tell me to go on." Fanzi hurriedly responded, bowed and retreated.
Everything has been checked clearly, Lei Bao is very comfortable in his heart, he is now completely sure of the assassination of Shen Chongming, although this maverick has to build a house outside Nanjing, even if there is any noise, the people in the city will not have time to rescue him.
"Boss Guan, at this time, the information of the Guogong Mansion that Xiao ordered someone to collect in the past two days." Wuwei taught the Nanjing branch altar, and the altar owner respectfully handed the collected information to Guan Shanyue, who was sitting in front of him.
"Is there a mistake?" Guan Shanyue casually glanced at it and asked.
"Don't dare, the little one sent three waves of people to investigate, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with these things." The lord of the altar almost swore an oath.
Guan Shanyue nodded, didn't say anything more and got up to leave, and the altar owner who was watching was in admiration. Boss Guan really lives up to his reputation, and this courage to enter the tiger's den alone is not something that others have.
