Chapter 374: A Mysterious Appointment
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
Yu Niang did not choose to speak in the main hall, but came to the side courtyard, and it seemed that there was something important to say.
Seeing Yu Niang, Shen Xi got up and saluted, Yu Niang just smiled and bowed, bowed, and said to Yunliu and Xi'er next to him: "You guys step back first, I have something to say to Shen Gongzi." β
"Yes."
Yunliu and Xi'er left the room.
Shen Xi observed Yu Niang's expression, and seemed to have no intention of informing Yunliu and Xi'er about this. It seems that the second daughter did not lie to him before, and they did not know.
Yu Niang did not sit down.
After Shen Xi sat down, she still stood and said respectfully: "Young Master Shen, a tricky matter has happened recently, and the slave family has no one to turn to, so I have to take the liberty to ask. β
Shen Xi frowned: "When I first came to the capital, I was not familiar with the place, and I was only a teenager in the next place, what can I do to help Yu Niang?" β
Yu Niang sighed lightly: "Shen Gongzi is too humble, in fact, Shen Gongzi's talent and courage are far beyond ordinary people, if Gongzi feels that this matter is tricky, the slave family will never force it." β
It's clear that you invited me to the door, but now that someone has come, you don't want to force it? It's clearly insincere!
Shen Xi didn't agree immediately, he didn't know what was going on after all, so he waved his hand at the moment: "Yu Niang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." β
Yu Niang said: "The matter is rough, please forgive the slave family for not being able to say it for the time being, but this matter is related to the rest of the thief." In fact, it is ...... with Shen Gongzi It also has a certain relationship. β
An Rusheng has been captured for more than two years, and Chai City has been beheaded for two years, and the ground in Tingzhou has been generally stable in the past two years, and I haven't heard that An Rusheng's remnants are going to come out to make trouble.
Now that Shen Xi has arrived in the capital, Yu Niang said that An Rusheng's Yu Party is still active, which makes him a little surprised. Shen Xi spread his hands slightly: "I don't know what I can help below?" β
Yu Niang saluted again: "If the son has time, can you go out with the slave family, some people want to see the son." β
Seeing that Shen Xi's face was a little hesitant, Yu Niang added, "This person is actually Shen Gongzi's old acquaintance. The place you see is not remote, so don't worry about your safety. If anything happens, the slave family will fight to the death to protect the son. β
That being said, there must still be some danger...... But who is in danger of his life?
But there are some reasons that Shen Xi can't refuse. If he refused at the beginning, Yu Niang didn't say that this matter was related to An Rusheng's Yu Party, he could still rest assured, but now that he knows, and An Rusheng is calculating the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce. The thief has been lurking for more than two years, and now he has shown traces and is likely to wait for an opportunity to retaliate. He himself may be quite stable at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital, but Hui Niang and the Shen family in Tingzhou are not so easy to avoid danger.
"Let's go!"
Shen Xi got up and wanted to go out with Yu Niang. But in order to show her humility, Yu Niang waited for Shen Xi to walk by, and then bowed her head and followed.
It seems that Yu Niang cares very much about the number of respects and humility, firstly, she is a family member of a criminal official and has received a good etiquette education, and secondly, she has been an old bustard in the Teaching Department for so many years. I have long learned to usher in the set that was sent.
When they arrived at the front yard, Yun Liu and Xi'er were there, and Yu Niang ordered: "Yun Liu and I will accompany Shen Gongzi out." β
Xi'er asked, "Yu Niang, what about me?" β
Yu Niang glanced at her impatiently, without meaning to explain.
Out of the gate of the compound with Shen Xi, the carriage had already been prepared, but the coachman was not seen, obviously the carriage was driven back by Yu Niang herself.
Yu Niang said: "The matter is urgent, Shen Gongzi, please get in the car, Yunliu." Wait carefully for Shen Gongzi along the way. β
Shen Xi thought to himself that this thing was really weird.
Yu Niang and a weak female stream just drove the car, and let Yunliu "wait" along the way, obviously looking for someone to watch him, afraid that he would jump out of the car and run away? But with the skill of Yunliu. At most, he stared at him, and if he really wanted to jump out of the car, he could only notify Yu Niang to "arrest" him back.
Zhu Shan, who came out with him, asked in surprise, "What about me?" β
Yu Niang glanced at Zhu Shan, frowning slightly, as if she was carefully observing Shen Xi's servant. In the end, she didn't seem to see any clues. said: "If Shen Gongzi is relieved, he can let the servants go back." Of course, peers are also possible! β
Shen Xi thought about it, it was more convenient to take Zhu Shan with him.
If Yu Niang has bad intentions, how can she resist it with Zhu Shan's brute strength. Shen Xi said: "My servant doesn't know the way, so let's take her with me." β
Yu Niang thought to herself: "Shen Gongzi, this is not worried about me." She didn't know that Zhu Shan was really brainless, and he was completely the kind of person who went out with black eyes.
Zhu Shan felt happy in his heart: "It's good, you don't have to find your way back, the young master still understands me." β
Shen Xi and Yun Liu entered the carriage, while Zhu Shan stayed outside to help Yu Niang catch the car. Although Zhu Shan is also dressed in men's clothes, with the experience of Yu Niang watching people, he has long seen that Zhu Shan is a woman.
Zhu Shan waited for Shen Xi to sit down, and then sat on the frame, the carriage was bumpy, and she looked at the jade lady holding the whip stupidly: "This son, let me help you." β
Zhu Shan obviously regarded Yu Niang as his son-in-law.
Yu Niangxiu frowned slightly, and handed the horse whip to Zhu Shan.
Zhu Shan took the horsewhip, stroked back and forth, and looked at Yu Niang with some weakness: "This...... How to use it? β
Yu Niang's brows went from frowning lightly to locking...... Not only does this girl look stupid, but she is also stupid when she talks and acts, since you won't say anything to help me? At the moment, he said angrily: "It's better for me to come." He snatched the whip back from Zhu Shan's hand.
Zhu Shan was very strange in his heart: "This son doesn't teach me to make it, why is he so fierce to me?" Am I doing something wrong? β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Yu Niang drove the carriage herself, and the carriage drove through the streets and alleys to a residential area with low houses on the outskirts of the city. Shen Xi was looking at the scenery outside the window all the way, trying to remember the way back.
Yun Liu asked, "Does Shen Gongzi know where this is going?" β
Shen Xi turned his head and shook his head helplessly.
The carriage went back and forth through the streets, back and forth, and with no reference from above, he was already dizzy. Up to now, Shen Xi is confused, but this matter is a touch of weirdness, since Yu Niang doesn't want to tell Yunliu about it, why did she come out to take her with her this time?
When we arrived at a street on the outskirts of the city that looked quite lively, the carriage slowed down, slowly moved forward, and waited until it reached the corner of the street. Yu Niang lifted the curtain: "Shen Gongzi, it's here." β
If it is said that it is in the wilderness, Shen Xi may be more cautious, but the outside is just a place that looks like a residential area. There are many street vendors and traffic, and there is no danger at all.
Shen Xi got out of the carriage, looked around, and finally noticed something unusual...... Many street vendors don't look like normal small traders at all. They neither shouted to solicit business, nor did they care whether passers-by were interested in buying their goods, and their eyes always fell on strangers passing by.
If it was a group of thieves, it would not be so tightly organized, Shen Xi had used this in the Tingzhou Carriage and Horse Gang, and he knew that only the imperial court and even the secret service would have such a thing at the moment.
The jade lady brought him to a stronghold of the secret agency of the imperial court, but in the end, it was Jinyiwei or Dongchang. I don't know.
"Yu Niang, can you really make sure that I am thorough?" Shen Xi hesitated and asked Yu Niang.
In fact, Shen Xi just wanted to have peace of mind, and he also understood that with Yu Niang's previous methods of investigating An Rusheng, including making enemies of Song Xi'er's forces in Fuzhou, or sending people to follow him in Nanjing, it was not something that an ordinary Qinglou old bustard could do.
Shen Xi had always felt that Yu Niang's trip to Fuzhou was a "coincidence", because he believed Yu Niang's words, saying that he was merit in helping Liu Daxia exterminate An Rusheng and his gang of thieves. Liu Daxia ransomed their citizenship, and she wanted to go to Fuzhou to join her relatives and friends. But the problem is that she went by chance, and someone just arrived. Song Xi'er seemed to be out of control, and actually openly robbed the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, forcing Shen Xi to "fight back", and even consulted with her and seconded people to her.
Even with the fall of Song Xi'er, Shen Xi felt that there was someone behind him secretly helping.
After that, Yu Niang was actually able to greet the people of the Political Envoy Department and the Inspectorate Division. helped him keep Xie Yuan's fame, so that he could get the opportunity to enter Beijing and enter Taixue.
What's even more coincidental is that Shen Xi can still "meet" her in Nanjing City, Yu Niang left Fujian and went north on the grounds of fear of revenge from Zi Qian, and walked all the way after the reunion, obviously with other plans.
Yu Niang nodded: "Shen Gongzi, please rest assured, the slave family will never cause any damage to Shen Gongzi." β
She said with great certainty, but at this time, Shen Xi did not trust her as much as before.
Even if Yu Niang said these words from the heart, after all, she had to be held hostage by the people behind her, and many things were not up to her.
Shen Xi didn't ask any more questions, and entered an alley under the guidance of Yu Niang.
The alley was very deep, and it looked like an ordinary house outside, and there was even a woman sweeping the road at the door, but Shen Xi could see it clearly, and the woman was clearly dressed as a man.
This is a dead alley, and when she arrived at the courtyard gate at the bottom of the alley, Yu Niang stepped forward and knocked on the door with different rhythms.
The door opened, and a familiar figure came out of it, it was Jiang Liwei, who had exterminated An Rusheng's henchmen on the Tingjiang River with Shen Xi two years ago, and was the Zuo Cheng of Nanjing Dali Temple at the time.
"Shen Gongzi? It's been a long time. Jiang Liwei greeted Shen Xi with a smile, he was not wearing an official uniform, but Shen Xi knew that he had been promoted.
Before that, Jiang Liwei followed Liu Daxia to Xuanfu to deal with the military salaries of the soldiers in the northwest.
Now Liu Daxia is about to be transferred to Fujian and Guangdong to sweep away the Japanese invaders, and two years later, he will succeed Ma Wensheng as the secretary of the military department, and Ma Wensheng will be promoted to the secretary of the ministry.
The iron triangle of Wang Shu, Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia is the minister of the Hongzhi Emperor, and the cabinet of the Hongzhi Emperor also has the iron triangle of Liu Jian, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang.
Jiang Li is only a martial artist, and he is a talent himself, following Liu Daxia is tantamount to climbing to a high branch, and his future in the future is unlimited.
This person belongs to the little-known kind in history, and Shen Xi knows that this is a person who has risen due to the influence of the butterfly effect after he came to this world.
"Master Jiang." Shen Xi saluted.
Jiang Liwei waved his hand: "Where do you dare to call yourself an adult, Jiang is just doing things for the imperial court." It's Shen Gongzi, you, who tried to solve the yuan in Fujian Township in high school at a young age, which really makes my brother envious. β
