Everything was just a misunderstanding. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mo Qin said that she saw that Zhu Jinglun was still frowning when he fell asleep, as if there was something unspeakable.

Mo Qin said that she once met an official, and the official said that the two most unpalatable meals in the world are skin and meat rice, and the other is public food. Mo Qin said that he felt that Zhu Jinglun had a public spirit, so he felt that Zhu Jinglun should eat public food.

Temperament is such a thing, I can't tell you clearly, but it does exist.

Zhu Jinglun was mixed with officialdom for half his life in his previous life, and he did have some public temperament, as for the officialdom in the 21st century, how different it is from the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, there is really no difference in nature, so those temperaments are also very similar, and they were noticed by Mo Qin.

Although Mo Qin may just say it casually, Zhu Jinglun also has to admire this woman's sensitivity.

"Girl's eyesight! I did run errands in the yamen. ”

Since the other party didn't find out his identity, and at the same time didn't notice anything more, Zhu Jinglun didn't have to hide it, his bright identity didn't need to be hidden.

Mo Qin said with a smile: "Since he is running an errand in the yamen, presumably the son came to the slave family, and it is also for Lord Ba, right?" ”

Ba Da is Pa Xia Li, some people call him Ba Ghost, some people call him Ba Da.

Zhu Jinglun was stunned, this Moqin could guess these subtleties, he was really a little surprised.

Moqin continued: "It seems that the slave guessed correctly. It's just that the son forgives me, and the slave family can't introduce Master Ba to the son. It's not that the slave family doesn't want to, but the Ba people don't allow it. ”

Zhu Jinglun immediately understood that it seemed that there were still many people who wanted to get involved with Pasha Li through Moqin, at least businessmen, or some scholars who were eager for a future, and during the first Great Smoke War, some scholars wrote letters to foreigners, hoping to get funding from foreigners, so that he could take the imperial examination, saying how he would repay Yunyun if he became an official in the future. The discipline of ancient scholars was strange and unpredictable, there were loyal people like Wen Tianxiang, and there were renegades like Hong Chengchou. This is not surprising.

At this time, Zhu Jinglun breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Mo Qin mistakenly thought that he also wanted to go through the back door through her, since the other party thought so, he didn't have to hide it, and asked boldly:

"I wonder what kind of character Naba is? What do you like? ”

Mo Qin was silent for a moment, and seemed to use a lot of courage before saying, "He, in fact, is a good person. ”

Good?!

Zhu Jinglun did not expect this kind of evaluation, he couldn't help but be touched in his heart, the way Pashali grabbed Chinese's braids on the street that day, so that he really couldn't associate Pashali with a good person, and at the same time, Pashali's behavior towards the Chinese is more than that, although he has seen it with his own eyes, but there are many hearsay, this is a person who is very rude in the impression of the Chinese, and often adopts violence against the Chinese, including personally leading troops to clear the countryside.

But perhaps just as he behaved like a gentleman in front of other foreigners, in front of the girl in the Qinglou, he may also show his English gentlemanly demeanor, so for Moqin, Pashali is a good person. But to millions of Chinese, to the people of Guangzhou, Pashali is a villain, a barbarian.

After that, Zhu Jinglun tried again, but unfortunately found nothing, Moqin is obviously a very good talker, what to say and what not to say, she is very good. Zhu Jinglun didn't even try out the law of Pa Xia Li going to the Qinglou. Maybe there is no pattern in the Pasha Lilly Qinglou, if it is too regular, I am afraid that it will be on the street.

Following Pasha Li three times in a row, Zhu Jinglun was also waiting in the place where he had to pass, and only after seeing his figure could he confirm that he had indeed gone out of the city, sometimes one or two days apart, sometimes three or five days, and there really seemed to be no pattern.

Mo Qin is very good at talking, so he can naturally kill time, but before he knew it, when it was slightly bright, Zhu Jinglun excused himself to say that he was hungry, and Mo Qin immediately went to Zhang Luo to eat. I even have to do it myself, it seems that the old girl who is out of breath is really difficult, if it is those red girls, there must be little girls to serve before and after, and there is no need to do anything by yourself.

After eating, it was dawn.

Zhu Jinglun regretfully said that time passed so fast, and then said goodbye and left.

He didn't regret that he hadn't heard any more information, because he had at least observed the terrain, which he couldn't remember, but he had patience.

When I got out of Yuexiang Building, I just arrived on the street, but I was stopped by a person.

The fortune teller who measured his words yesterday.

The fortune teller didn't bring a pretense this time, just stood quietly on the street, didn't speak, and bowed directly to the end.

"Oh, sir, but you're going to test the word again?"

Zhu Jinglun said with a smile.

The fortune teller looked serious, got up and said, "I don't plan to test the words anymore." ”

Zhu Jinglun said: "What a good livelihood, it's a pity to abandon it." ”

The fortune teller smiled and said, "I found a better livelihood in Xia." ”

Zhu Jinglun said: "Then congratulations sir." ”

The fortune teller said again: "Congratulations to the son." ”

Zhu Jinglun said suspiciously: "Congratulations to me? ”

The fortune teller said: "That's right, I plan to recommend myself to Gongzi Mao Sui!" ”

Zhu Jinglun understood, the better livelihood that this fortune teller said was to follow himself to eat, but why should he, why dare he be sure that he would accept him?

"The gentleman laughed."

Zhu Jinglun bowed his hand and didn't plan to entangle him more.

The fortune teller opened his arms and stopped Zhu Jinglun.

Then he said in a fast tone: "If the calculation is correct, Childe is doing a big thing." ”

Zhu Jinglun laughed and said: "What nonsense is Mr. talking about, there are important things to do, if Mr. is hungry again, I am willing to help Mr. with a meal or two of wine money." Say goodbye. ”

The fortune teller was resolute: "Sir is going to deal with foreigners!" ”

Zhu Jinglun is no longer calm in his heart, this is his most cautious place, but he has repeatedly given birth to warnings, and even a fortune teller said it casually, which makes him feel very uneasy.

"Sir, don't talk nonsense, are you trying to blackmail me?"

Zhu Jinglun's tone became cold.

The fortune teller said: "Childe is not strange, he is in a hurry, and he is sincere." I implore my son to take him in and enjoy a bowl of rice! ”

wants to be Zhu Jinglun's follower, or called a long-term follower, or called a staff member, all of them have the same meaning, they are helping.

Zhu Jinglun said: "Let's talk about the benefits of keeping you?" ”

The fortune teller said: "I can help my son deal with foreigners!" ”

Zhu Jinglun continued to shake his head: "Mr. said it was funny, I didn't mean to deal with foreigners, it's not good to say, and now I rely on foreigners to eat." ”

The fortune teller shook his head and said, "Don't deceive, it's no coincidence that Childe has followed the ghost three times." ”

Zhu Jinglun sighed in his heart, this is another person, and the people he has encountered here in the Qinglou in the past two days are actually more than the total number of people he has encountered in the previous months.

Zhu Jinglun did enough to be hidden, but he was only afraid of someone with a heart, he followed Ba Xia Li three times, hoping to find out the law of Pa Xia Li's behavior, but he didn't want this clue to be noticed by a fortune teller at the door of the Qinglou. Now this fortune teller recommended himself, hoping to follow him.

Zhu Jinglun felt that he had no choice. Either take this person and gamble on his loyalty, or let this person become a bomb point, and you may blow yourself up at any time. Dangerous things must either be eliminated or simply tied to the side, and an unchanging principle is that risks must not be allowed to get out of control.

But he didn't have a place to settle the man at this time.

So he escaped from his arms with a palm-sized purse: "There is some silver here, not much, twenty or thirty taels." You take it and find a place to stay, and I'll be here in three days' time." ”

Then Zhu Jinglun left immediately, and this attitude was very interesting.

Zhu Jinglun neither told Mr. Word Measurement what his name was, nor did he tell the other party where he lived, and he didn't even ask the other party's name, but only threw down a bag of silver, which was not caring about the other party.

Go back to the yamen directly, not just to work, because now Zhu Jinglun has begun to live in the yamen again, the last time he took Lin Zhuang to stay in Zhang's mansion overnight, he was ordered to be evicted by the young grandmother of the Zhang family, and then he moved to the yamen, and Lin Zhuang naturally has his own way, and it is not difficult for Lin Fuxiang's forces to find a place to live in Guangzhou City. But the more important reason is that Zhu Jinglun's plan has already begun to operate like a sophisticated machine, and he must go all out, and the yamen is more convenient for him to get all kinds of news as soon as possible and make adjustments and responses at any time.

As soon as he arrived at the yamen, Zhu Jinglun was stopped by a person.

A man walked out of the corner.

"Hou Jin!"

Zhu Jinglun called out.

He is still sighing these days, if someone helps him, he doesn't have to do everything himself, but he can't dare to use anyone, so he thinks about Hou Jin and Ma Laosan from time to time, but two months ago, he asked Ma Laosan to send a message to Hou Jin, but he never saw Hou come in to find him, and he finally saw it today, and it was a little surprising.

"Alas!"

Hou Jin agreed, but he didn't even dare to call Zhu Er's name.

Zhu Jinglun noticed this, and he obviously felt that Hou Jin was standing in front of him, and it seemed that there was no past nature.

He saw that Hou Jin was wearing a ragged suit, quite restrained, and his body was unnaturally slightly bent.

Compared with himself, a satin gown, with a melon skin hat on his head, official boots on his feet, and a very decent dress, Zhu Jinglun understood that Hou Jin probably had something on his mind.

couldn't help but stepped forward and patted Hou Jin's shoulder very affectionately:

"I said monkey, why did you come, the third didn't bring the words?"

Probably it was Zhu Jinglun's enthusiasm that made Hou Jin less uncomfortable, and laughed:

"The words were brought, but something delayed for a while."

Zhu Jinglun did not investigate the truth of these words, and said with a grin:

"It's good to be here, it just so happens that my brother is very busy now, and I have to rely on Brother Hou to help me."

After saying this, Hou Jin's face was a little restrained, this is also a matter of no way, the poor brothers in the past, but now he wants to do things for his brothers, and the gap in status cannot be eliminated in a few words.

Zhu Jinglun had no choice, he knew that Hou Jin was a person with a lot of thoughts, and he didn't have time to enlighten him at this time, but asked him to wait for a while, and he strode back to the yamen.
