The car came to a stop in front of a house. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as Li Xiuwen got out of the car, two people who looked like little servants immediately greeted him, saluted him respectfully and said, "I've seen Master Li." ”
Li Xiuwen nodded and asked them to get up. Although he hadn't seen these two people, he also guessed that these two people were people sent by Chen Yi in advance, and they would only call themselves "adults" in front of people.
Then, the two of them led Li Xiuwen and his party into the courtyard and came to a room.
The two of them saluted Li Xiuwen again: "Subordinates Han Lin and Ding Xiaocheng have seen the leader. ”
"Well, get up. Just call me Li Gongzi. ”
"Yes."
Li Xiuwen looked at them carefully. These two people have clear eyes, they look very shrewd and capable from their faces, and their bodies are about the same, and they are a little thin.
After they got up, Li Xiuwen asked, "You came here in advance, did you hear any news?" ”
The two glanced at each other, and Han Lin arched his hand and said, "According to the information we heard, Jinyiwei seems to have some problems with Dongchang. ”
"Oh?" Li Xiuwen frowned and motioned for him to continue.
Han Lin said: "Jinyiwei has always had the responsibility of supervising civil and military officials, and the East Factory is set up to supervise the hundred officials and Jinyiwei. ”
Han Lin paused when he said this, and then continued: "The current commander of Dongchang is the eunuch Wang Zhixin, who often meddles in the case of Jinyiwei, and the investigation is unjust, so he has a conflict with the commander of Jinyiwei to make Luo Yangxing, so the relationship between the two parties is a little tense. Childe has just arrived in Beijing, so he has to be careful with the East Factory. ”
When Li Xiuwen heard this, he nodded: "The case of the prince Zhu Shaohong's rebellion, what is the specific news?" ”
The reason why Li Xiuwen was able to enter Jinyiwei was because of this case. Before this, he had already instructed Chen Yi to send someone to the capital in advance, just to find out some specific reasons.
"The subordinates are incompetent, they can't find out the news of this case, and they ask the son to forgive him." Hearing him ask about this, the two of them immediately knelt down.
Li Xiuwen's face sank, such news alone really couldn't satisfy him. He cultivated these people in order to grasp some secret information in order to achieve a surprising and winning effect.
He also knew that when they first arrived in the capital, they could only inquire about some news in the market, and it was still very difficult for them to investigate the affairs of officialdom. But these people were all trained by Chen Yi, and he couldn't be too kind, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control them at all. That's why I deliberately took care of them.
Han Lin and Ding Xiaocheng saw that his face was cloudy, and their hearts became more and more nervous. Li Xiuwen's deeds in Kaifeng, they all know something. If you don't have some means, how can you fight the world?
Thinking of this, in front of him at this moment, the two of them didn't even dare to come out.
"Get up."
After a long time, Li Xiuwen's face softened. And when he had ascertained them where they had stayed, he sent them away.
When he came out of the house, he saw that He'er and the others were busy cooking, so Li Xiuwen said, "Don't be busy, let's go out and eat some." ”
Subsequently, Li Xiuwen went out with a group of family members, thinking of finding a restaurant for a meal.
The house that Han Lin and the others bought for him was in the inner city, in the Xuanwumen area, not far from the Jinyi Wei Yamen, which was convenient for him to go to order every day.
Walking on the street, Li Xiuwen saw a restaurant in front of him, a two-story building, such a scale is not very large in this Beijing city, but what attracts Li Xiuwen is his signboard - cheap shop.
He had heard of this cheap shop in his previous life, saying that when he was in Jiajing, Yang Jisheng, a member of the military department, had a meal here, and felt that the wine and food in this shop were good and the service was considerate, so he personally inscribed this small shop.
Li Xiuwen made up his mind and tried the roast duck in this restaurant, that is, he led everyone into the store.
At this time, the store was very lively, many people dressed in fancy clothes dined here, and the shopkeeper was busy running before and after, and no one entertained Li Xiuwen and others for a while.
Li Xiuwen didn't mind, and led everyone to find a table to sit down at random, and then Xiao Er saw a guest come to the door and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"What do you want to eat?"
Li Xiuwen looked around and found that he was the only one who came to eat with many female dependents, and it was really strange to sit in this hall, so he asked, "Little second brother, can you change a private room for us?" ”
"I'm sorry guest officer, the private room is full at the moment." Xiao Er said.
The guests at the nearby tables heard Li Xiuwen's words, and they were all pointing at him and talking in a low voice.
"Looking at this son's dress, I want to come to the family with a good background, but if I want to sit in a private room in this 'cheap shop', it seems that it is not enough for my identity."
"That's right, listening to his accent, he is not a local, and in the land of this capital, you can't have this treatment if you have money."
Li Xiuwen also heard their discussion, but he didn't care, and continued: "Okay, what signature dishes do you have in this store, let's have a copy of everything." ”
"Do you want a pot of shochu?"
Just wanted to nod, but Yang Yuxuan pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Isn't Xianggong going to the yamen today?" ”
Li Xiuwen had no choice but to give up and said, "No need for the second brother, just come up with the wine and food quickly." ”
"Okay, Childe, please sit down for a while, the wine and food will be ready immediately." Xiao Er trotted away as he spoke.
Yang Yuxuan's words were not loud, but the people at the next table had been paying attention to Li Xiuwen, and they began to discuss again at this time.
I only heard the man just now say: "This boy seems to be a little afraid of guilt." ”
The person next to him shook his head and said, "Isn't it?" How can a woman's talk about men's affairs? The husband is sluggish. This little lady is really, what kind of mouth does the woman have......"
Because they looked down on Li Xiuwen's "sluggish" style, this time the two of them did not deliberately lower their voices, not only Li Xiuwen, but even Yang Yuxuan and the others heard it. The other people on the table next to him also glanced at Li Xiuwen with disdain.
Yang Yuxuan's face was flushed, feeling that she had made Li Xiuwen lose face, and she opened her mouth with some grievances, ready to apologize to him: "Xianggong ......"
"The lady can eat more in a while, I heard that the roast duck here tastes good."
Li Xiuwen opened his mouth to cut off her words, reached out and held her little hand under the table, indicating that he didn't care. He actually felt a little unhappy in his heart, these people were really idle, and a trivial matter was worth talking about.
The two men were not ashamed of him, and they were still enjoying it. There was another burst of cynicism, and he despised Li Xiuwen fiercely.
"With your kind of goods, if you travel to the 21st century one day, I'm afraid you won't even be able to marry a wife."
Li Xiuwen didn't bother to meet them in general, and thought to himself. Wang Bing wanted to rush over and beat them up several times. They all let him signal with his eyes and stopped. When he first arrived in the capital, he didn't want to provoke too much trouble.
In a blink of an eye, I saw the two maids and Sun Mingwen on the side, also with indignation on their faces. Li Xiuwen smiled: "You guys should also sit down." ”
"Young Master, how can we serve the table?" Several people waved their hands again and again, how can there be a rule that the next person is at the same table with the host?
"What? My words don't work? ”
Li Xiuwen's face sank and said. Seeing that Li Xiuwen seemed to be a little angry, several people carefully sat down at the table.
Li Xiuwen picked up the teacup and held it in the palm of his hand, the corners of his mouth curled, and his hand quietly exerted force, only to hear the "bang" of the teacup, which fell into his palm and on the table.
The people at the nearby tables were all stunned, and after seeing Li Xiuwen's hand, they settled down a lot, so they just lowered their heads to eat, and stopped talking about Li Xiuwen more.
"Flutter!"
The women at the table all laughed, but Yang Yuxuan smiled and gave him a blank look, but did not speak. Sun Mingwen looked at Li Xiuwen with admiration in his eyes.
Li Xiuwen was triumphant, and said in his heart: "The tiger is not powerful, you treat me as Hellokitty?" ”
