Text Chapter 101 Asking for Hardship
When Xi Fuwei arrived at the door, she said hello to the captain who was guarding the door, and went out to take a look, but saw that the alley was empty, and there was no one in sight, so she couldn't help but be surprised, and turned her head and asked the captain: "What about the person who said he was looking for me?" How not? ”
When the captain heard this, he also came out to take a look, and said, "Fang is still here, can't you wait to leave first?" ”
Just let her catch up and take a look, "Maybe just out of the alley." ”
But Xi Fuwei chased all the way to the mouth of the alley, asked a few people nearby, and said that half an hour ago, she did see a brightly dressed girl holding a basket and went in, but she never saw anyone come out.
According to the appearance they described, Xi Fuwei judged that it was most likely Yao Zhuosu.
"Are you sure the person looking for me didn't come in?" Back at the gate of the small courtyard, she asked the captain guarding the gate again, "The people outside said they didn't see her go out." ”
The captain was surprised: "I didn't know that girl after what Lord Baihu ordered, can I still disobey the adult's will for her?" ”
And although the place in this small courtyard is not very big, the courtyard wall is not short, and now the courtyard is even more vigilant, and it is basically impossible for Yao Zhuosu to sneak in.
"Could it be that you went to someone else's house in the alley?" Xi Fuwei looked around under the courtyard wall near the gate, but found no traces of climbing, and when she returned to the door, the captain said, "This alley is so long, it's not just our family." ”
Xi Fuwei frowned and said, "Maybe." ”
She didn't say anything to the lieutenant, and went back inside to find Shen Thiefan, but was told that Shen Thief Lan was not here, but went to the guard station: "Although the guard station is dilapidated, some torture tools take up a lot of space, and it is not easy to move over." ”
Because the dynasty was in practice at the time, it was a liuguan system, and His Majesty Emperor Taizu was very ruthless in punishing corruption and bribery at that time, and everything was commonplace to peel the skin and fill the grass. Therefore, most officials did not dare to repair the yamen, so that many of the official offices inherited from the previous dynasty were century-old dilapidated houses, and they looked crumbling.
Jining's Jinyi Guard House is one of them, which is also the reason why Shen Steallan spends most of his time working in the small courtyard where he lives.
At this time, when he went to the guard station, it was estimated that he had found some clues to be executed, and he went to take charge of it himself.
"Miss Xu's wound just burst and she has to change the dressing, but I am clumsy, Miss Xu is not at ease, so I plan to have a subordinate who is quick to do things." When Xi Fuwei heard this, she could only go to Xu Jingchang's side first and tell, "Grandpa of the unknown country is there anyone who can be used here?" ”
At this time, Xu Jingchang was not there, I don't know if he followed Shen Weilan to watch.
The person left in his room was a concubine with a beautiful face and a bewitching figure, and she was very embarrassed when she heard this: "Grandpa Guo sent someone to serve Miss before, but then I don't know why I didn't serve it." Now the grandfather of the country doesn't speak, and the concubine doesn't know who to send over. Why don't you look at us, who can pick one? ”
Xi Fuwei knew that she was afraid of taking responsibility when she heard it, and it was no wonder that Xu Jingchang sent to serve Xu Jingyuan before, it is estimated that she had been carefully selected, but she just went to get a medicine, and she didn't know how she was suspected by Xu Jingchang himself and handed it over to Jinyiwei for trial.
It can be seen that Xu Jingchang is currently very suspicious of the people around him, where does this concubine dare to call the shots?
She didn't dare to call the shots, and Xi Fuwei didn't take care of it, so after resigning, she went back and told Xu Jingyuan the situation directly: "Now that no one dares to come over, Miss will just go down." ”
Xu Jingyuan didn't make a fuss when he heard this, but said in surprise: "Our brother and sister are around...... Are the people around our brothers and sisters really unreliable to this point? ”
"There's no news from the guard station yet." Xi Fuwei shook her head and said, "I don't know if Grandpa Guo is thinking too much, or if some people have been eyeing you two for a long time." ”
She didn't care much about the life or death of the Xu family's brothers and sisters, and she changed the medicine for Xu Jingyuan a little clumsily...... In the process of changing the dressing, Xu Jingyuan swore at least three times that she would cramp and peel her skin after she was ready, and such a toss actually had a good result, that is, Xu Jingyuan was worried that Xi Fuwei would take care of herself next, but she didn't dare to move at all, for fear of suffering again.
"You and Shen Steallan won't end well." After changing the medicine, Xu Jingyuan fell asleep tiredly, but at night, she woke up again.
Originally, she didn't recover very well at this time, but she was not happy when she saw Xi Fuwei sleeping on her feet, so she threw the dust and the hidden sac down, and forced people to wake up, asking her to talk to her.
Xi Fuwei was so angry, but she still had to keep smiling: "What does Miss want to say?" ”
Then Xu Jingyuan couldn't think of any topic, so he said, "Shen Steallan's family won't let him fool around with you." ”
"I'm really curious." Xi Fuwei was really weak, sitting cross-legged on the pedal, leaning on the edge of the couch, and asked lazily, "Lord Shen and I are obviously innocent, presumably this is no longer one or two people with you, and Miss Song explained, why can you two be so confident that I have something to do with him?" ”
Xu Jingyuan said: "Your family has suffered such a big loss, your nephew still doesn't know where to hide, and you yourself don't dare to disclose your identity incognito...... At this time, if you don't hold Shen Shulan tightly, what hope is there for Shen Weilan? ”
"But the truth is that Lord Shen and I are just pure bosses and subordinates." Xi Fuwei said, "You've been living in this courtyard for so long, have you ever seen me and Lord Shen have any eyebrows?" ”
He also said, "Grandpa Guo has said that Lord Shen has always been dignified and not close to women. ”
"I'm glad I said that, can you handle it?" Xu Jingyuan thought for a while with a gloomy face, probably couldn't find a reason to refute, and simply said, "If you hadn't made a big deal out of your uninterestingness, the matter between Jia Niang and Shen Weilan wouldn't have ended like this...... She has always liked Shen Weilan. ”
Xi Fuwei said speechlessly: "Miss, be reasonable, the matter is that you and Miss Song have a big trouble, from beginning to end, where am I qualified to make trouble with the two of you?" Not to mention that it went to Ying Tianfu. ”
Moreover, "You and Miss Song both wholeheartedly think that Lord Shen is a person who doesn't forget to mess with flowers and grass, why do you have to worry about the fact that he didn't marry Miss Song?" ”
“…… I didn't understand it when I told you! Xu Jingyuan suddenly felt that she was confused, and it was embarrassing that during the day, Xi Fuwei was not enough when she came to take care of herself, and asked her to talk to herself at night, isn't this asking for hardship?
She rolled over and stopped talking.
Xi Fuwei is happy to have a good rest.
There was nothing else to say that night, and when it was dawn, Yu Kedi came to knock on the door, saying that the internal official sent by Emperor Yongle to pick up the Xu family brothers and sisters had learned the news and rushed over to visit.
In fact, the internal official came yesterday, but the emotions of the Xu family brothers and sisters were not very stable at that time, so he asked Shen Weilan, thinking that today the night would pass, and the brothers and sisters should calm down, so they planned to ask for warmth in person.
But Xu Jingyuan didn't appreciate it very much, and said to Xi Fuwei when he heard the words: "Although he is an internal official, what is he doing with me?" I don't want to see him. ”
Xi Fuwei persuaded: "In the end, it is the person in front of Your Majesty, you should look at Your Majesty's face." ”
He also said that he could make a screen to put in front of the tent, so that the internal officials could not see anything at all, and there was nothing to worry about.
After talking for a long time, Xu Jingyuan reluctantly agreed, and complained: "Since you know that I am injured, you should know that I should rest now." I still ran over so early, and I was uneasy and kind when I looked at it! ”
"People are coming to pick up your brothers and sisters back, before you didn't want to go, and you just shirked it, but now you are injured, and you can't leave." Xi Fuwei's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she said quietly, "Can you not be careful?" I heard that I came yesterday, and I saw that you were not in the mood at the time, so I went back directly, and I came here early in the morning, so I can see that I was really anxious. ”
Xu Jingyuan sneered: "Isn't it to sell in front of His Majesty after going back?" ”
"If the internal officials don't sell their writ to their majesty, who will they flatter?" Xi Fuwei asked rhetorically.
"Shut up!" Xu Jingyuan said impatiently, "Let him come over, if you have anything to say, hurry up and say it, and get out of here after speaking!" ”
Her attitude was tacitly revealed to the internal officials by Xi Fuwei and Yu Kedi.
In the end, this internal official was served by Emperor Yongle, and he was well-mannered, he didn't blink when he heard the words, and gave himself a small mouth, and said: "It's all to blame for the slave maid who didn't serve the grandfather and the young lady of the good country, and the tired young lady was assassinated and injured...... Fortunately, the prince of Zhongshan has a spirit in the sky and protects future generations, otherwise if the young lady has three long and two short, the slave maid will go to see His Majesty, where can she be worthy of the young lady's case? ”
After entering the house, he burst into tears, and he was respectful, and Xu Jingyuan's tone was a little irritable at first, but later he eased up a lot.
However, after sending away the internal officials, she sneered on her feet: "This old man usually serves in front of the emperor, and he can be regarded as having a bit of status, but at this time, he is so groveling in front of me and being punished." Where can eunuchs like them be so soft? Eighty percent are either thinking about ways to harm me, or they have already done it...... You go and ask Shen Steallan, does the person who harmed me have anything to do with this old thing!? ”
"I really don't know what Miss thinks." Xi Fuwei frowned when she heard this, and said, "Since Miss knows that this father-in-law is not easy to offend, why do you want to embarrass him?" ”
Xu Jingyuan said coldly: "I'm happy, I'm willing, I'm going to do this...... Can you handle it? ”
"I can't do it." Xi Fuwei said calmly, "It's good that Miss is happy." But I'm ordered to take care of you, and no one will come to take over at this time, and I won't be able to leave. Let's wait a minute. ”
After a while, Xu Jingchang came over in person, and brought two bewitching-looking women, saying that they wanted to stay and take care of Xu Jingyuan.
The two women Xi Fuwei hadn't seen it, and she didn't know where he got it from, thinking that she could be trusted, but she didn't bother to inquire about these, and after the ceremony, she said Xu Jingyuan's request and asked to retire.
Xu Jingchang said: "You are just in the past now, and Youqing just came from the guard, and it seems that he has pried open a few hard mouths." After I finished reading Jing Yuan, I also had to go over and ask. ”
Xi Fuwei went to the front after saying goodbye to their brothers and sisters, and sure enough, Shen Steallan was sitting in the study and opening a stack of confessions, and Yu Kedi was making tea next to him.
The stack of confessions had a few purple-black stains on it, and it looked like blood.
"What?" Seeing her come in, Shen Weilan only glanced at it, and then her eyes fell on the confession again, and asked.
