Volume 1 * Senmei Society Chapter 35 * New Year's Rite (3)
The next day, when the sky was still slightly bright, he heard a knock on the door outside Su's house, so Shen Cheng ran to open the door, and when he saw Steward Yang, who was the prefect, he asked, "Steward Yang, why did you come in such a hurry?" ”
This Yang housekeeper is the prefect's henchman, if there is no important matter, he does not need to come to knock on the door in person, this time he personally knocked on the door, presumably the prefect must have arrived, but this feather house road is difficult to walk, the prefect must have ordered Yang Steward to come and knock on the door, he parked Jiaozi at the intersection, and he arrived with the villain.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Zhuge here?" Steward Yang couldn't wait to ask.
"Head of the house, just got up."
Before Shen Cheng could finish speaking, Steward Yang pushed open the door regardless of 3721 and went straight to the backyard, shouting as he ran: "Please save my family." ”
Changyu knew that Xu Zhifu was coming yesterday, but he didn't expect to come so early, he quickly got dressed and walked out, at this time, Shen Cheng had also received Xu Zhifu and took him to the hall to wait, but Xu Zhifu was like sitting on pins and needles, how to sit, he walked around the hall, and he was very anxious.
Steward Yang saw Changyu, took his hand, and rushed to the hall, this may be the first time Changyu has been invited like this, Changyu hasn't even opened his mouth to say a word, this Steward Yang can't wait, Changyu can only be taken to the hall like this.
As soon as Governor Xu saw Zhuge Changyu, he held Changyu's hand and said excitedly: "Sir, you have to save my life this time no matter what." ”
Changyu gently patted Governor Xu's hand, reminding him not to be excited, so he helped him aside and sat down, and then asked, "Lord Xu, why are you so flustered." ”
"Sir doesn't know, before dawn today, I received a letter from King Qin, saying that Your Majesty will come to Jingzhou City to enjoy the mountains and rivers in the spring, and also ask me to build a courtyard for Your Majesty to rest in a short time." Governor Xu said the matter in a panic.
After hearing this, Changyu said with a smile: "My lord, you just received the flying pigeon transmission from the King of Qin, and this will of His Majesty has not yet arrived, maybe the King of Qin is just joking with you." ”
Governor Xu was already anxious, and this Changyu seemed to be an inconsequential one, which made Lord Xu, who was already anxious, said angrily: "Sir, what you said is a joke, King Qin has never taken the initiative to write to me, and he will personally fly pigeons to pass on the book when there are important things, and I believe that he will receive His Majesty's will soon." ”
Changyu thought to himself: I didn't expect to say this, but let this cautious prefect say an important clue, that is, this King of Qin will not easily take the initiative to contact this Xu Governor's Mansion, and he will tell each other if there is a big event, it seems that this Xu Governor's Mansion is a very important chess piece for King Qin, not only that, but this Xu Governor's Mansion also has a certain amount of power, and he can make decisions on small matters, and he does not have to discuss with King Qin.
Changyu saw that Shen Cheng had served the tea, so he comforted: "Lord Xu, don't be angry, I just assumed a situation just now, and I don't mean to despise it, Your Majesty came here, isn't it just to give the adults a great favor, what is it that makes the adults panic." ”
Changyu pretended not to see through the crisis in Lord Xu's words, and of course Governor Xu was not an ordinary unconscious official, so he naturally knew that Changyu was playing sloppy with him, but at this time, Changyu was his only life-saving straw, and he couldn't turn his face with Changyu, so he said eagerly: "Sir, don't joke with me, this Your Majesty is naturally an opportunity, but it is also accompanied by danger, you think, now there are only more than 2 months to go to the beginning of spring, how can I have the ability to build a new courtyard for him." ”
Changyu drank tea, pretending to be careless, this Lord Xu looked more anxious, wiped the sweat on his face, and looked at Changyu with urgent eyes, who knows, Changyu finished drinking tea, and said: "Yes, right now, the New Year is coming, and I haven't prepared a New Year's gift for adults, so I'm really negligent." ”
"Sir, don't talk to me about these useless things, my head is over the New Year, and I don't know if I'm not there? Who still remember these mundane things? ”
It seems that this Lord Xu really loves his life, more important than anything else, it seems that Changyu's move really stabbed him to the point, if he can successfully save this prefect this time, then Lord Xu will not treat him as a bodhisattva.
Changyu thought for a while, looked at Lord Xu and said, "Then it's good for my lord to be like this, how about I help you solve this matter, how about it be a New Year's gift from the Shengming Society?" ”
As soon as Governor Xu heard that Changyu had a way to save him, he said happily: "If Mr. can save my life, let alone the New Year's gift, even if I let me give you a New Year's gift every year." ”
This is a bit exaggerated by what Governor Xu said, how could he give a New Year's greeting to a gang, it was just a matter of urgency, but if Chang Yu really had a way to save him, he would really treat him as his own.
Changyu saw that Governor Xu had already started drinking tea, and his mood must have calmed down a lot, so he said: "My lord, since this is the case, I will give you an idea, you can find a 7 percent new old mansion, and then supply it to Your Majesty." ”
Hearing Changyu say this, Governor Xu's frightened cup couldn't hold it steadily, the tea came out of the cup directly, his eyes widened and he said: "Sir, you are asking me to send me to death, there are so many talented people around Your Majesty, how can you not know that the old is used for the new?"
"How so? My lord, this is an old house or a new house, but it is not something that can be clearly explained by just looking at it, they must have some evidence. ”
"Sir, careless, this evidence is not easy to take, just take out the rivets of the house to see if there is rust, it is difficult to make it... Lord Xu said this, paused, suddenly figured it out, and said, "I understand, what Mr. means let me take out the old rivets and replace them with new ones." ”
Changyu smiled and didn't speak, and Lord Xu happily praised him: "Mr.'s talent has made me suddenly, and if I get a good prescription today, he will be grateful in the future." ”
After Lord Xu got the answer he wanted, he left the Yu Mansion with Steward Yang and the two subordinates.
This morning, the noisy people didn't let Changyu and Shen Cheng sleep well, so Shen Cheng asked with concern: "Master of the house, do you want to go back to the house and sleep again." ”
"It's not early, I have to go to the Hidden Dragon Gang today, you go outside and wait for me by the carriage, and I will go into the house to get the New Year's gift."
Changyu is a person who doesn't like to hold things up, originally planned to come to the Yu Mansion in the afternoon of the Xu Governor's Mansion, in that case, the Qianlong Gang will go the next day, but it didn't come to fruition, as soon as the Xu Governor's Mansion is related to his name, he can't bear it, and he came early in the morning, but this is okay, and the New Year's gift of the Qianlong Gang can be given today.
Shen Cheng drove the carriage to the headquarters of the Qianlong Gang, this Qianlong Gang was much less subordinate than when Changyu came last time, it is conceivable that most of these subordinates were pulled to mine ore, and the two subordinates greeted the door, and after Shen Cheng got out of the car, he let the subordinates go in and report.
When Changyu got out of the car, the next person came out and reported back: "Helper, please come to the hall and sit down." ”
This is not the first time that the Qianlong Gang has come, Chang Yu is still familiar with this place, this hall is in front of him, he took Shen Cheng slowly into the hall, and saw Cao Xuan and Zuo Qiuzi, as well as several important people discussing things, so he stepped forward and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry to disturb the Cao Gang Master to discuss big things." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, we're talking about the 'Wanwulu' you gave away last time." Cao Xuan said.
"What? There won't be any problems with this 'Wanwulu', right? Changyu asked pretending to be nervous.
Zuo Qiuzi said for Cao Xuan: "It's no problem, since you gave Wanwulu, we will gather brothers, according to what Wanwulu says, mining ore in the nearest mountain, this has been more than half a year, and there is a little harvest, so everyone gathered here to discuss the problem of how to use the ore." ”
"Then, according to Mr. Say, should we avoid it?" Changyu replied cautiously.
After speaking, Changyu stood up and wanted to retreat outside the door, Zuo Qiuzi asked, of course, he came to visit whether this Zhuge Changyu understood the rules, of course, as far as Zhuge Changyu sent Wanwulu, even if the Qianlong Gang dug up how many ores and how they planned to use it, there was no need to avoid a small gang like the Shengming Society, after all, in Cao Xuan's eyes, the Shengming Society did not have any power to shake the Qianlong Gang.
Cao Xuan stopped and said: "You don't have to avoid it, it's okay to listen to it, you can mention it if you have any ideas." ”
"Then Shu Changyu is bold, I think that if the Qianlong Gang has this batch of ores, they can make a batch of sophisticated weapons, and then they can expand the power of the rivers and lakes, and then they will dominate the rivers and lakes."
Changyu's words were said to Cao Xuan's heart, and Cao Xuan's heart was full of joy when he heard it, and when he thought of dominating the rivers and lakes, he said happily: "What you say is exactly what I want, but ordinary weapons can only be built for ordinary subordinates, if you want to give them to subordinates with strong martial arts, you need some special weapons, I don't know if you know that there is a person named Han Tianshao in my gang, and this person's weapon is quite special." ”
"Oh, I know a little bit about this Han Tianshao, I heard that he lost two games in a row in the martial arts hall, and the third one was won by a special gun." Changyu pretended not to be very familiar.
"Yes, it's this person, it is said that this person's weapon is the Mo family's mechanism weapon, and he asked for it from the young pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion, I don't know if you know anything about the Mo family's mechanism technique?"
This time and again, it is a visit again and again, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the trap of Zuo Qiuzi and Cao Xuan.
"Mojia tricks? I've heard of it, but I haven't understood it, and besides, our Zhuge family has never been friendly with the Mo family, but just now you said that the young pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion has a blueprint of the Mo family's organ weapons, why don't you go to Kunlun Mountain and ask for a few? ”
Chang Yu turned the topic around Tianji Pavilion, of course, he didn't deliberately avoid the topic of the Mo family, because from the proof of his life experience, Chang Yu had proved that he was a descendant of the Zhuge family before, so this Zuo Qiuzi and Cao Xuan would not doubt his identity.
"You said it simply, I have sent people to Kunlun Mountain many times before, but the young pavilion master Tianyang is either not there, or he is in retreat, so that he has no chance to see him." Cao Xuan said with a sigh.
"Oh, is it? Then I think, I came to give the Cao Gang Master a New Year's gift at this time, it seems that I gave it the right one. Changyu suddenly shifted the topic to the New Year's ceremony.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's been more than half a year, and I've been recuperating on the territory of the Cao Gang Master, so I feel that this New Year's Festival is approaching, and I should prepare a gift for the Cao Gang Master, you also know that my Shengming Society is a small gang, and there are no humans to mine these resources, and I guess that the Cao Gang Master will be worried about the weapon, so don't you send this picture as a New Year's gift." As he spoke, Changyu took out the drawn drawings from his sleeve and handed them to Zuo Qiuzi.
Zuo Qiuzi saw that it was actually a Mo family weapon diagram, and it was more subtle than Han Tian's, so when he handed this diagram to Cao Xuan, he asked, "I don't know how Zhuge Gang Leader got this diagram?" ”
Changyu took out a map of the Mo family's weapon for no reason, which would inevitably arouse Zuo Qiuzi's suspicion, of course, Changyu had already figured out how to deal with it before drawing this picture.
"Speaking of which, it's also a chance, when my ancestors traveled through the mountains and rivers, they helped the old pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion a favor, and the old pavilion master gave this picture to him in order to repay his ancestors, but he didn't have talent, not only did he not have a hand to mine ore, but he didn't understand many of the subtleties of this map, rather than wasting it in my hands in vain, it was better to let Cao Da help the master carry forward this weapon."
Zuo Qiuzi listened to Changyu's clever argument, and felt that what he said was unreasonable, and it was reasonable, this Mo family has always been at odds with the Zhuge family, how could he give this picture away, besides, the Zhuge family has always disliked the Mo family's machines, even if they don't use it, it's normal, it's better to come out and be a favor.
Zuo Qiuzi nodded to Cao Xuan, indicating that there was no problem with this drawing and Zhuge Changyu, so Cao Xuan said happily: "You gave me such a big gift, how can I be good, if you have any requirements, as long as I Cao Xuan can do it, I will definitely do it for you." ”
"Gang Master Cao is serious, my Shengming Association just wants to rely on the big ship of the Qianlong Gang to go further on the rivers and lakes." Changyu said modestly.
"That's right, as long as my Qianlong Gang has something to eat in the future, you will definitely have a bite of Shengminghui, today's lunch, we must not get drunk and not return."
Cao Xuan's words didn't seem to be a problem, but he was actually bullying Changyu, saying that your Shengming Society had to rely on our Hidden Dragon to help support it, otherwise it would sink at any time.
