Chapter 406: Chasing Jade
Jiang Yun was both angry and excited, angry that he capsized in the gutter, and was calculated by two "subordinates", and he was excited that Shenyu finally had a whereabouts.
Among the two "subordinates", Jiang Yun hated Shen Qianyuan even more, "I used to trust you so much and promoted you from an outlaw to a Mo master." He said this after being rescued by the Five Elements Sect.
Shen Qianyuan only looked at the knife in his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have begun to feel the temptation of divine power, at least you can understand why I left the Extraordinary Dao, the Divine Ship is the only true god." ”
It was this sentence that made Jiang Yun furious, he rarely killed people with his own hands, he swung a knife to cut off people's heads, did not raise a knife and shout like an ordinary hero, but threw away the waist knife, sighed heavily, and said to others: "He had the opportunity to take over the position of the master, but he didn't expect it...... This time I went north, everything went wrong, especially this matter. I have already decided to Xing Shan, you go to Hu Guiyang, whoever finds the divine jade, we are very recognizable who is the sect leader, and there is no second heart. ”
Jiang Yun refused to be escorted, and rode back to the city alone, running faster and faster, and his mount was whipped until he foamed at the mouth.
After listening to the Five Elements Sect's introduction to the current situation, Jiang Yun immediately woke up, so he took the disciples away, and he wanted to take the jade alone.
Things didn't go particularly well, and before he entered the city, he was surrounded by a group of brocade guards, saying that he was rescued, but in fact he was arrested, and he was called to open the city gate overnight and sent directly to the West Factory.
The Five Elements Sect believed that he didn't take the divine jade, and wanted to make Jinyiwei believe it, but there was only one way.
In the West Factory, more people were waiting for him, and after hastily condolence, they politely asked him to be inspected.
"I want to be investigated, right now." Jiang Yun's heart was open.
Bee Niang walked over, she didn't like the crowd very much, her expression was evasive, and the onlookers had to withdraw, leaving only Li Zi Province, Dongchang Shangming and Luo Shi, who spoke on her behalf.
Everyone had expectations, and after some inspection, the expectations of others were disappointed, only Jiang Yun became more and more excited, but his face remained silent, "Hu Guiyang lied, Shenyu must have been hidden elsewhere by him." ”
"This kid." Shang Ming said hatefully.
"If I had listened to my advice, I wouldn't be where I am today." Li Zixing hated Hu Guiyang even more, and he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, but he never got his wish.
"What about others?" Jiang Yun asked knowingly, without mentioning the Five Elements Sect, when he talked about getting out before, he claimed that it was a friend from the rivers and lakes who rescued him, anyway, no one cared about the details.
"It's likely that they were kidnapped by a group of Wen family members, but it doesn't matter, Dongchang will soon be able to find their whereabouts." Shang Ming bowed his hand and hurriedly left.
Li Zi Province even waived his hand and said goodbye without saying goodbye.
All they focused on was the Divine Jade.
Roche and Bee Niang are still there, and they haven't been involved in the conversation.
Jiang Yun arched his hand and squeezed out a smile, "Don't bother, I have to go back ......"
"The entire Nansi has been taken over by the East Factory, and Master Jiang has nothing to do when he goes back, so why worry?"
"I need to rest, and although I haven't suffered much, I've been anxious for the past few days. Alas, Eunuch Huai was disappointed, right? Shenyu is about to be found, but I have not achieved anything, but I have fallen into the hands of the little people. ”
"Wynn said, whoever finds Shenyu can do it, as long as he is willing to hand it over to His Majesty."
"We are not pure Jianghu people, the food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, of course, if you find the divine jade, you must send it to the palace immediately. In this matter, Eunuch Huai did not have to worry too much. ”
"If I get the Divine Jade, I may not be willing to hand it over." Roche laughed.
Jiang Yun followed twice, not wanting to waste time, and arched his hand: "Farewell." ”
"No." Roche said lightly.
The West Factory was almost empty, and Jiang Yun tried his best to control his pace and not appear too urgent.
There was a distance from Xichang to the Nansi Foreign Office, Jiang Yun rode slowly, and when he encountered night patrol officers and soldiers on the way, he coped with them, and he didn't dare to show his hurry.
Soon after dawn, he rushed to the yamen, just when the door was opened, most of the lieutenants and executioners were called, but the scribes had to work normally.
Jiang Yun smiled as much as he could, "I haven't gone home yet, I have to come to the yamen to take a look first, business is important, you have worked hard these days." That one...... Is Chen Yimu there? I need him to help me tidy up my study. ”
All the rooms in the yamen have been turned over, especially the study room, even the beams and tiles have been demolished, and a large number of documents have been exposed, which really needs to be cleaned up.
One said: "Chen Yanmu was frightened and didn't come for two days. ”
"Yes, Chen Yimu has been taking care of his own study......" The speaker immediately shut up, because the person who forcibly took the study was this Jiang Shi.
Jiang Yun was not angry, and said with a smile: "I'm just looking around, let's get busy." ”
The scribes dispersed, Jiang Yun really walked around, and then found a more familiar official and asked where Chen Yimu's family lived.
"Not far away, in the alley behind the yamen, the fifth house on the right hand from the east. The experience of adults is really considerate of his subordinates, in fact, he can't compare with what happened to adults, Lao Chen is just too frightened. But what was he afraid of? The lieutenant didn't specifically target him, and everyone in the yamen was asked. ”
"yes, and he hasn't been in the study since I came." Jiang Yun knew in his heart that Chen Yimu must have a key and could enter the study when he was unprepared.
"That's what I'm talking about."
The little official wanted to curry favor a few more words, but Jiang Yun had already turned around and walked away, and instead of riding a horse, he walked into the back alley to find the Chen family.
The Chen family is easy to find, although he serves in the Jinyi Weinan Division, the clerk lives on a monthly salary, not as good as the captain and the executioner, and has another income, the Chen family is very small, the gate is dilapidated, and there is not much difference from the neighbors on the left and right.
Jiang Yun carefully counted twice, observed for a while, and after confirming that no one was following, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After knocking several times, an old woman's voice inside the door asked, "Who?" ”
Chen ...... Is the official at home? I am a colleague in the yamen. Jiang Yun only knew that this person's surname was Chen, and he forgot to ask his name.
The door opened, and a short, fat old woman looked up and squinted at the guest, "Are you my son's colleague?" Why haven't I seen you? ”
"I'm Jinyiwei, your son's boss."
"Oh." The old woman looked at it a few times, not particularly convinced.
Jiang Yun didn't wear an official uniform, and arched his hand: "I heard that Chen Yimu is bedridden, so I came here to visit." ”
"Empty-handed?" The old woman loves to pick gifts.
Jiang Yun endured for a long time, and in the face of an old woman, he was no longer in the mood to perfunctory, and went straight in, "How can a boss give gifts to his subordinates?" ”
"Hey, why don't you have any rules? Calling himself my son's boss, I don't think I can see it, Nansi's people are the most polite...... That's the kitchen. You, you...... My son isn't at home, what are you messing around? ”
There are only three rooms in total, all of which are very small, and after entering, it is clear at a glance, Jiang Yun quickly came out, "Isn't your son sick?" Why not at home? ”
The old woman looked puzzled, "What is my son's name?" ”
"His surname is Chen, he works in the office of the Nansi Foreign Office, I am his boss, his surname is Jiang, didn't he mention it at home?"
"The boss surnamed Jiang ......" the old woman thought for a while, "you are the Jiang layman, right?" ”
"Huh?"
"My son mentioned that it was a layman boss from the yamen who didn't understand anything, but he occupied his study, checked useless old official documents every day, and didn't know what he was reading......"
"That's me, where is your son?" Jiang Yun held back his anger.
"I said, Boss Jiang, you have just taken office, you should be considerate......"
"I can drive your son out of the yamen with a single word." Jiang Yun said coldly.
This threat was really effective, and the old woman immediately said: "Oh, this is not good, our mother and son are all pointing to this little moon to live, Boss Jiang, don't see an old woman like me, don't embarrass my son." ”
"Where's your son? I want to see people right away. Jiang Yun's heart became more and more anxious.
"My son was sent by the Yamen on a business trip, you are his boss, I don't know where he went?"
"Let's tell you the truth, your son committed an accident, and the yamen didn't send him out at all, he was going to flee."
"What? My son ......" the old woman was about to cry in the middle of her words.
Jiang Yun grabbed the old woman's arm and said sharply: "Don't cry, I can save your son's life, but I must find him as soon as possible." ”
The old woman was frightened, "I didn't say where to go, but I heard him muttering alone about going to the south to find someone." ”
Jiang Yun turned around and left, leaving the old woman alone in a panic.
"Sure enough, it's him, is he going to Jiangnan to find a woman surnamed He? Stupid, really stupid......" Jiang Yun returned to his residence, changed his clothes, rode out of the house, and went straight to Tongzhou.
Chen Yanmu is not young, and he is also a scribe, and if he wants to go to the south, he can only take a boat in Tongzhou.
Jiang Yun hurried to the dock around noon, not going to the official yamen, but asking friends for help.
Before the unification of the Five Elements Sect, there was only one Supreme Virtue Sect, whose followers were mainly merchants and shipwrights, and they often traveled from south to north, Jiang Yun was most familiar with these people, and soon found a dock helmsman.
The boatman couldn't be easier to find someone on the dock, Jiang Yun's butt was not hot yet, and the news came, and sure enough, there was a single guest who was consistent with Jiang Yun's description, claiming that his surname was Jiang, and the person had already boarded the boat and had not yet set off.
Jiang Yun sneered secretly, thanked the helmsman, refused more help, and went to find Chen Yimu alone.
The ship is small, full of cargo, and there is only one small cabin to carry passengers, waiting for the government to let it go, and the cold winter is coming, this is the last trip of the year.
Jiang Yun dotted the shipowner with a piece of broken silver, straightened his clothes, and bent down into the cabin.
In the face of an old and weak scribe, he really has nothing to fear.
Sure enough, it was Chen Yimu, who was sitting in the cabin in a daze, turning his head and seeing the comer, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Jiang, Lord Jiang......" wanted to get up with his hands.
There were no chairs and stools in the cabin, Jiang Yun raised his hand, signaled that Chen Yimu didn't have to get up, sat opposite him, and said with a smile: "You claim to be surnamed Jiang?" ”
Chen Yan's face turned pale, "I, I made it up casually." ”
"It's okay, the surname Jiang is the family, it's better to speak." Jiang Yun was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand and said, "Hand it over." ”
"Huh?" Chen Yan's face was full of surprise.
Jiang Yun shook his head lightly, expressing disappointment, "I know your surname is Chen, what is your name?" ”
"Chen, Chen Xun."
"How old?"
"Forty-Eight ......"
"Your mother is almost seventy years old, isn't she?"
Chen Xun nodded.
"Life is rare for seventy years, and at her age, she deserves some blessings. You've never been married? ”
"I had a wife, but I died the year before last and left no children."
"Are there any brothers and sisters?"
Chen Xun shook his head.
"If you go, the old lady is afraid that she won't be able to survive this winter."
Chen Xun suddenly cried bitterly.
Jiang Yun waited for the cry to become smaller, and said in a harmonious voice: "Except for me, no one knows about you." ”
"Really?"
"The fact that the two factories were able to find out who had come into contact with Shenyu, but they did not inspect the people in the yamen, which means that they did not know."
"If you can't find Shenyu, they will definitely suspect me." Chen Xun shivered.
"I'll deal with it, hand over the Shenyu to me, I'll hand it over to Your Majesty, I won't mention your name, you go back and continue to be a official, and I will give you a sum of silver afterwards, enough for you to serve your old mother."
"Really, really?"
"Finding Shenyu is a meritorious service for me, and making things big is not good for me."
Chen Xun was stunned for a while, slowly untied his belt, reached out and groped behind for a while, took out a small bag, and held it tightly in his hand, "Can Shenyu really make people become gods?" ”
"It's of no use to you." Jiang Yun didn't hesitate anymore and reached out to grab it.
Chen Xun held the bag in his right hand, blocked it with his left hand, and accurately grabbed Jiang Yun's outstretched palm.
Jiang Yun was surprised, Chen Xun was also surprised, and gradually exerted himself, seeing that his boss's face was red, he said, "Look, Shenyu is useful to me." ”
