Volume 1 * Senmei Society Chapter 27 * New House
The next day, early in the morning, before Shen Cheng and Xingyun knocked on the door, Changyu got up early, and he wrote a letter, which was addressed to Tianyang.
It didn't take long for Shen Cheng and Xingyun to knock on the door and come in, and before they could speak, Changyu said, "Shen Cheng, you hurry up and send this letter to Tianyang." ”
"Family Master, what could it be that is going to disturb the Young Pavilion Master again?"
Shen Cheng asked, not because he felt that it was inconvenient to disturb the young pavilion master, but because he was wondering if the Shengming Society was short of silver again, after all, the money for the construction of the Shengming Society and the opening of the medical hall to relieve the people was taken out by the young pavilion master, and if it was to buy a house, it would be very embarrassing to ask him for money.
"It's not important, just ask him to help me...."
Before Changyu could finish speaking, Shen Cheng jokingly interjected, "Don't you want to borrow money from the Young Pavilion Master again?" ”
Of course, Shen Cheng and Shen Zhong followed Changyu from birth to death, they have a relationship between superiors and subordinates in their eyes, but in fact, they are brothers and sisters, this is a joke, interrupting the conversation, it is also a common thing.
"What are you talking about, have you forgotten that someone is investigating Han Tianshao's weapon?"
Shen Cheng thought about it, it turned out to be related to the weapon, so he said apologetically: "It's a subordinate, I think too much." ”
"Of course, in addition to weapons, I also have to consider the financial problem of operating in Rain Twin City, let him help him, who called our Tianyang Grand Prince rich and rivaled the country."
Changyu went around and around to the matter of money, and at this time, Shen Cheng, who was not smiling, laughed out loud, and Changyu and Xingyun also laughed.
Laughing and laughing, Shen Cheng still had some doubts in his heart, what did this young pavilion master have to do with weapons.
Changyu saw Shen Cheng's doubts, and said: "I think you must have doubts in your hearts, you think, the organs of this Tianji Pavilion are all made by the Mo family, and it is not strange that Tianyang has one or two Mo family weapon maps in his hands, I attribute the source of Han Tianshao's weapon map to Tianyang's hands, so that no one will doubt it anymore. ”
"Family master, you are still thoughtful, in this way, the matter of this Mo family's trick is also over."
Changyu took a sip of tea slowly, with a little sadness in his eyes, and thought: It is certain that this matter can be deceived by Zuo Qiuzi, but if you want to deceive Lu Bing, I am afraid that I can only be deceived for a while, and I don't know who this Lu Probing is working for, I am afraid it is not so easy to let go of this clue, in short, there should be no problem for the time being.
"Go and send the letter, we have a lot to do today." Changyu came back to his senses and ordered.
So Shen Cheng hurriedly went out to send the letter, and when he came back, he happened to see a person asking the innkeeper for Changyu's room number, Shen Cheng thought to himself who this was, could this be what the head of the house said about something else, and when he saw the person going upstairs, Shen Cheng cautiously followed.
Because Changyu's door was open, as soon as the man saw Changyu in white plain clothes, he asked, "This must be Mr. Zhuge ." ”
"Exactly, may I ask who you are?"
"The villain is the prefect's housekeeper, the villain's surname is Yang, the lord ordered me to come here to find Mr. today, I am here to send the title deed to Mr., by the way, take you to the house to see, if Mr. is satisfied, the title deed will be accepted."
"It turned out to be Steward Yang, it's really hard for you to make a trip, let's drink a glass of water first." Changyu saluted and said politely.
"No, I'm done here, I still have to do something for the prefect, so please ask Mr. to go with me to see the house first." Steward Yang said shirkably.
"Then since that's the case, please ask Steward Yang to lead the way."
This is worthy of the housekeeper, doing things very thoughtfully, just walked to the door of the inn, I saw two people leading two horses forward to greet him, presumably when Changyu talked to the prefect, he talked about his frail and sick, and was listened to by this housekeeper.
"Sir, please get into the carriage."
"There's a housekeeper for Lao Yang." After Changyu finished saluting, he got into the carriage.
After a short journey, they came to a secluded place, not far from the center of the city, but it was obvious that they could no longer hear the noise of the city, and after walking a little further, the people stopped their journey, presumably to the location of the house.
"Sir, we have arrived." Steward Yang got down from the carriage and said.
Then, Changyu slowly walked down from another carriage, a look at this exquisite, obviously already in the suburbs, although there is only a wall away from the city, but there is no noise here, this road is a wall on one side, on the other side is a lake, looking at the front of the road, is an independent house, the only feature of this house is that there is only one road in and out, surrounded by water on three sides, if there is no road, I am afraid it will become an island.
Changyu followed Steward Yang to the house, at the gate of this house, a pair of willow trees, looking at the size of the willow tree, it is estimated that it has been a hundred years old, but looking at the color of this house, it seems that it was built in the past few years.
"Steward Yang, looking at the building of the house so quiet, presumably the original owner likes elegance."
"Sir is really smart, indeed, the original owner of this house likes to paint, and then I don't know what happened, people went to the empty building overnight, and this house was also transferred to the hands of the prefect."
The two of them walked inside, stepped into the door of the house, and could see a flower garden, but the strange thing is that there are no flowers in this flower garden, but green bamboos that are relatively easy to survive, and there is a pool next to it, and there are no fish in the pool, and further on is a painting pavilion, in this pavilion, there are some scattered and worn drawing paper, and it is covered with dust.
This Shen Cheng was clearing the obstacle in front, and if he was not careful, his body was full of cobwebs, he immediately wiped the cobwebs on his body, and complained from time to time in his mouth, looking at his appearance, he seemed to dislike it very much.
Changyu suddenly stopped and said, "Steward Yang, it's okay to get here." ”
"Sir, why don't you look inside?"
Originally, Shen Cheng thought that Changyu had discovered his dissatisfaction, and he also felt the same way, and wanted to want this house, but who knows, Changyu actually replied: "I'm very satisfied here, just choose here." ”
This made Shen Cheng, who originally had the idea of changing the house, shatter all his hopes at once, he really didn't understand what was good here, it was so worthy of the family's love, it was difficult to achieve it because it was sent by the prefect, so he couldn't shirk it, so he was settled.
"Sir, I'll send a few people to help clean up another day." Steward Yang said as he handed the title deed to Changyu.
"Oh, if you do something as trivial as cleaning, you won't bother the prefect." Changyu shirked this and said: "By the way, how much is the price of this house, I will let someone send it to the prefect." ”
"No, the prefect said, this house should repay the gentleman for his kindness to the prefect."
Sure enough, this Xu Zhifu was cunning and cunning, so he used a house to prevaricate Changyu, but this was also expected by Changyu, so there was no fuss.
"Okay, then please ask Steward Yang to help me thank the prefect."
"Definitely, definitely."
After speaking, the two saluted each other, and Steward Yang left in a hurry.
Xingyun also saw Shen Cheng's dissatisfaction, and seeing that Shen Cheng didn't dare to ask, he asked with a smile: "Family master, although the delicacy here is okay, after all, it has been abandoned for too long, why don't you choose another place?" ”
Changyu smiled and looked at Shen Cheng, Shen Cheng put on a face, very cute, and replied: "I know you don't like this dirty place very much, but have you noticed that Steward Yang said that this master likes to draw just now?"
"Is there anything wrong with this painting?" Xingyun asked.
"Of course, there is no problem with painting, but don't you think, for a person who likes to paint, there are no flowers and plants in the flower garden, only a few small mounds of earth remain, plus some green bamboo, and there are no goldfish in the pool?"
"What's so strange about this, people might just like to draw girls?" Shen Cheng said angrily.
"Superficial, come, come here, stand on this pavilion, look down, what do you see?" Changyu stood on the pavilion and pointed to the flower bed and pool.
Xingyun immediately stood up, looked down, didn't seem to see anything, Shen Cheng slowly swallowed the pavilion, and inadvertently glanced in the direction of the flower garden and pool.
Shen Cheng's pupils suddenly dilated, and he said, "This... This seems to be the outskirts of the White Emperor City. ”
"Yes, and I believe that this master left it in a hurry, and he wanted to wait for someone destined to discover this secret, so I am very curious about the owner of this house, and I always feel that he has something to tell us?" Changyu analyzed seriously.
"Master, could it be that you are thinking too much, maybe people just happen to like to draw maps, and they are not as strange as you said."
"Shen Cheng, what did you just say?" Changyu suddenly came back to his senses from his thoughts, as if he had grasped something from Shen Cheng's words.
"I don't say it's as strange as you say."
"It's not like that, and then up."
"I said people just like to draw maps."
"Yes, it's a map, you think, what does this map do?"
"The map is useless, except for identifying the direction when you get lost, it is the ..... of the march" Shen Cheng suddenly came to his senses and said: "Family master, you mean that the march is going to war, and there will be a war in the White Emperor City?" ”
"This is just my conjecture, besides, it has been a few years, and the White Emperor City is also safe, I think it may be that something happened to them halfway, or they were hindered by something, in short, the owner of this house must have left in a hurry, and this house has been taken over, as if they are looking for something." Changyu looked at the blank drawing paper in front of him, and the chairs and tables in the hall in front of him, and said, "We will use this house as our residence, in addition to contacting the spies in the city, we can also find out what happened back then." ”
"Family master, it's been so long, how can we check?" Shen Cheng's face looked much better, and he finally understood Changyu's intentions, so he stepped forward and asked.
"There is no urgency in this matter, you first notify the secret agents in the city, let them check the name of the original owner of this house, and then make plans, the top priority, we should do the sanitation here first." Changyu said.
"Okay, head of the house, I'll go to the city to inform them first, and by the way, call a few short-term workers to come over and help."
Shen Cheng was smart this time, and after speaking, he went to the city.
