Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Headache
All the matters related to Cao Ren were handed over to Gan Ning, because Cao Ren was preparing to transport the stolen grain to Chang'an by water.
From the flying pigeon biography sent by the secret agent in Chang'an, I learned that Duan Xuan actually hooked up with Xiliang's Ma Teng again, Xiliang's grain harvest was not harvested in the great drought, and hundreds of thousands of stone of grain was definitely a great attraction, Duan Xuan planned to use this batch of intercepted grain in exchange for Xiliang's war horse.
After Gan Ning was assigned a task by Yuan Yun, he immediately set off with four warships, just looking at the well-equipped battleships, Yuan Yun had nothing to worry about, he was now all focused on shipbuilding.
Half a month later, Xu Yi also returned to Beihai, as for Xiahou Nan, Yuan Yun directly regarded him as non-existent, and heard that this goods and Yudie's wedding night was very embarrassing, because Xiahou Nan really wanted to arrive at ten times in one night, and as a result, there was no accident that the sun shrank, and this matter almost spread all over the city, causing Xiahou Nan to nest directly at home and not plan to go out.
After meeting for the first time that day, Gong'an's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, every time Yuan Yun went to the shipyard, he would always greet him in person and accompany him throughout the whole process, during which he kept asking about some technical things.
A hard bone suddenly became flattering, which made Yuan Yun feel very confused and even a little uncomfortable.
After all, Gong Yi An has lived for such a long time, and when he saw Yuan Yun's expression, he seemed to have guessed the approximate situation, so he smiled and said: "Yuan Hou Mo laughs at old snobbery, what we admire most as craftsmen is better than ourselves, and now I Gong Yi An will definitely not be able to draw those drawings of Yuan Hou, so I can only learn from you honestly, since I want to learn from Yuan Hou, then this attitude must naturally be more deferential, do you say yes or no?" ”
Yuan Yun nodded, feeling that what Gong Yi'an said was indeed right, there must be my teacher in the threesome, and when asking for knowledge, it is understandable to be appropriately respectful.
Suddenly, Yuan Yun was stunned, and then asked, "Then if the old gentleman learned all of my tricks, would he be so deferential?" ”
Gong Yi'an's face turned blank in an instant, and he replied righteously: "When the old man has learned his hands, where is there still time to accompany Yuan Hou around." ”
The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched suddenly, this old white-eyed wolf, he still said such an ungrateful thing so generously, isn't there a little shame?
After Gong An explained this, he immediately reverted to a flattering face, and then arched his hand and said: "Yuan Hou's ability to those organs, the old man is very curious, now the pulleys you sent are installed on the base of the artillery, and the old man also deliberately went to test it, it does slide freely, but it is much lighter than the traditional wood turntable, but the old man has only seen the real thing, but he has not seen the drawings and explanatory documents, can Yuan Hou teach the principle?" ”
Old fox!
Yuan Yun cursed in his heart, turned around and drew a simple picture with a horsewhip on the floor, and then explained: "The important thing is not the pulleys, but the beads in these pulleys......"
When Yuan Yun began to explain to Gong Yi'an, Xu Yi felt very bored, originally planned to go to the breeding farm today, but now it seems that the schedule will be postponed, because as long as these two people squat down and draw, it is estimated that they will not stop for most of the day.
Looking at the huge shipyard, Xu Yi laughed unconsciously, when Diao Chan wanted to buy this wasteland by the sea, no one could understand her thoughts, and now it seems that she is obviously more prescient.
Due to the continuous expansion of waterways, many people began to make a lot of money, which made more businessmen or nobles willing to invest, since they want to develop the business on the water, then the most lacking is the big ship, under such conditions, it is difficult for the Wang family's shipyard not to make money.
"Why is Xiaoliu grounded?" Xu Yi really felt bored and panicked, so he started talking to Shi Shen next to him.
Shi Shen was stunned, then shook his head and replied: "I don't know, the lord also lost his temper this time, he scolded Xiao Liu last night, and he was not allowed to leave the door half a step today, this time there is no room for negotiation, Xiao Liu was also scared." ”
Xu Yi originally just had nothing to say, but now hearing Shi Shen say this, it aroused his gossip thoughts, so he immediately took out the wine jug from his arms, pulled Shi Shen to sit aside, and then continued: "Tell me, what did Xiao Liu do wrong, your lord has always been very gentle to the two of you, and even I heard him lose his temper for the first time." ”
Shi Shen touched the back of his head, and then replied with a confused face: "A few days ago, Xiao Liu always came back very late, I asked him what he was doing, and he didn't say, he happened to be bumped into by the lord last night, and now he immediately lost his temper, and he kicked at most twice on weekdays, but this time he let the guards put Xiao Liu up, and then locked him in his room, and sent two more guards." ”
Xu Yi said with a smile: "Xiaoliu won't go to steal someone's wife in the middle of the night, right?" ”
Shi Shen also smiled and said, "There is this possibility, every time this kid comes back, I can smell a smell of fat powder, which is definitely something that only mother-in-law uses." ”
Xu Yi laughed and said: "It's really going to meet women, this is interesting, isn't your Yuan family very upright, there is such a talent as Xiaoliu, I have to investigate this matter carefully, and see whose woman Xiaoliu stole from?" ”
Shi Shen was also very curious, and hurriedly arched his hand: "If Master Xu finds out, tell me too, I am also curious." ”
Xu Yi laughed again, then pointed to Shi Shen's nose and said: "Your family's guards are all used to being Yuan Hou, and everyone is as bold as you. ”
After saying this, Xu Yi immediately recruited his own guards, and then gave a few orders to let them get some people to investigate, after all, Beihai is his Xu Yi's land, and it is not difficult to figure out anything.
After hearing Xu Yi's words, the guard immediately scratched his ears and cheeks, and tossed for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "Lord, I don't think there is any need to investigate this matter, some of our brothers know about it." ”
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he smiled and beckoned Shi Shen to his side, and then patted his chest and said: "In Lao Tzu's land, even if it is an ant, as long as Lao Tzu wants to find it, he can find it immediately." ”
After a while, I saw a guard in his early twenties come to his side, and then bowed deeply to Xu Yi, and then said: "Lord, what you want to inquire about, the little one happened to meet a few times before, so I have some understanding, but I don't know how to talk about it." ”
Xu Yi shook his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about anything, although the truth is, with me here, who would dare you not do it?" ”
The guard nodded again, then pondered for a while, and said: "The small ones are on night duty for half a month, so they often patrol around, and you also know that the small ones are the most diligent, so they must patrol several times every night, and the palace is very close to our mansion, and the west wall of their house is also inspected by us...... Oops! ”
Xu Yi was already impatient when he heard this, so he kicked his guard, and then said hurriedly: "Hurry up and tell Lao Tzu the key point, what are you talking about?" ”
The guard laughed, and immediately said with a straight face: "One night half a month ago, we found a figure climbing over the wall, and the light skill was very good, so the brothers stepped forward to stop it, but they didn't expect it to be Yuan Hou's personal guard Xiao Liu, at that time, a few of us were still strange, and we heard a woman calling inside the wall, and this woman was ...... Uh......"
Xu Yi frowned, and just wanted to kick it again, but who knew that the guard had already learned to be smart, so he hurriedly took a small step back, and then lowered his voice and said: "That woman is the personal maid of Miss Diao Chan, the head of the Wang family, it seems that she is called Juan'er, and the brothers have seen it, so there is absolutely no mistake." ”
In an instant, Xu Yi was no longer able to speak, her face was cloudy, but her heart was like thunder, Juan'er was Gan Ning's woman, and Gan Ning's power was probably known to everyone in Beihai, and now it was lively, Yuan Yun's guards stole Gan Ning's woman, which was definitely a disaster.
Shi Shen on the side also widened his eyes at this moment, he now understood why the lord Yuan Yun was so angry, Xiao Liu stole whose woman was not good, but stole it to Gan Ning's head, Gan Ning's ability had already been seen when Hongnong rescued them, one person, one horse and one gun, shuttled back and forth in the enemy formation four or five times, and his body was stained red with blood, but not a drop was his own.
Trembling all over his body, Shi Shen hurriedly clenched his fists and said to Xu Yi: "I still have to go and tell the lord about this, otherwise it will be a big deal." ”
Before Shi Shen finished speaking, he was already grabbed by Xu Yi, and only heard Xu Yi say: "Are you as stupid as your marquis?" He must have known about this, so he was so angry, and once this was revealed, it would be restless. ”
After explaining Shi Shen, Xu Yi immediately turned back to the guard and asked, "Have you chewed your tongue indiscriminately about this matter?" ”
The guard immediately clenched his fists and said, "The little ones don't dare to talk nonsense, it's just ......"
"It's just that I don't need to say anything about this matter, many people in the palace know it." The guard paused for a moment, and saw Xu Yi raise his feet, so he immediately said everything below.
Xu Yi's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said with some puzzlement: "How could the people of the palace know, did you spread it?" ”
The guard was suddenly startled, and quickly explained: "This matter has nothing to do with the little ones, and what the palace knows is not the little sixth brother, but the ...... of Juan'er and others."
"Someone else's?" Xu Yi's mouth opened wider now, and now he understands that the problem is not with Xiaoliu, but with Juan'er, this woman is probably not simple.
In an instant, Xu Yi asked again: "Since everyone in the palace knows about it, why doesn't Gan Ning know?" ”
The guard scratched the back of his head, and replied with some embarrassment: "Because no one dares to mention it to him, whoever mentions this kind of thing will die, Gan Ning's martial arts, when he is angry, he casually lifts his legs, it is estimated that it is a human life, who dares to risk his life?" ”
"As soon as Lao Tzu raised his legs, it was 70,000 lives, and Guandu was killed and 70,000 prisoners were killed in the first battle, who should you give the order?" Yuan Yun didn't know when he had already walked over, and his face was full of displeasure.
Xu Yi smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly smiled: "It's all the people messing around, Brother Yuan doesn't need to be too angry." ”
Yuan Yun snorted, then pointed to Xu Yi's guards and said, "This matter is here today, if Ben Hou listens to you again, you won't have to taste it with your tongue when you eat in the future." ”
Those guards were all taken aback, only to feel that all of them were unwarranted, your Yuan Hou's guards stole people, why did it become us punished? But no one dared to have any dissatisfaction, Yuan Yun's name was very loud in Xu Duke, and those who offended him basically had no good end, so everyone gave up their hands and shouted that they didn't dare.
Xu Yi sent away several of his guards, and then asked Yuan Yun, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Cold salad!" Yuan Yun replied angrily.
Xu Yi only felt kicked on the iron plate, so he could only continue: "If you want to come hard with Gan Ning, I will lend you all my guards, if you feel that there are not enough people, I can also transfer the guard battalion in Beihai, but I am worried that Gan Ning will directly tie you up on the ship, then I can't help it." ”
Yuan Yun waved his hand impatiently, and said: "Don't get involved in this matter, Gan Ning is now on the river, and is helping us intercept the grain ship of Cao Ren's family, and when he comes back, I plan to tell the truth, as for Xiaoliu, I will send him back to Xudu in advance, damn, there is no one who is worry-free." ”
Yuan Yun was halfway through speaking, and suddenly scolded, still scolding at Shi Shen, Shi Shen could only smirk, and there was no intention of dodging, because strictly speaking, Xiao Liu was his subordinate, and now that his subordinates committed crimes, he couldn't escape.
"Did you tell your senior sister about this?" Xu Yi asked again.
Yuan Yun was silent for a moment, and then replied: "When I kill Juan'er with my own hands, I will explain it later, it seems that I can't get around it." ”
