Chapter 35: Borrowing the Tide (I)

This is also ...... Left-handed?

Xu Xun relied on the left and right bow skills he had cultivated over the years, coupled with the direction of the writing and the traces of ink smudging, he immediately recognized this seemingly clumsy handwriting as a left-handed handwriting. However, after recognizing this and seeing the content clearly, the doubts in his heart were even greater. Regardless of whether the reminder above is true or not, who is the person who threw the stone to deliver the letter?

In just a moment, a pretty face appeared in his mind. At first, he thought that this sudden thought was because the little girl had made too deep an impression on him, but after thinking about the little girl's reminders several times, he could be regarded as a well-informed person, and he unconsciously lowered his head again and carefully studied the traces. Xu is mind has a fixed opinion, from the horizontal and vertical skimming, he always feels that there is a trace of Juanxiu cunning, and then thinking of the little girl's smile and disgust, he unconsciously showed a smile.

Huitong habitually wanted to tease but he was a good friend, but when the words came to his mouth, he found that Xu Xun's smile was vaguely a little rare gentleness, he remembered the action just now, and he didn't feel that his heart moved, and he immediately smiled and said: "What, it's an acquaintance?" ”

Thinking that the news might have been sent by the little girl, Xu Xun didn't show the note to Huitong, folded it and put it in his arms, and replied casually: "Maybe." ”

"If it's really an acquaintance, Xu Qishao, you will introduce me to Ming'er, but I didn't expect that there are such skilled characters hidden in the market in Nanjing." Huitong said while paying attention to Xu Xun's expression, and seeing that he was unmoved, he smiled dryly, "Jin Liu's ability to drive is not small, and the old horse-drawn broken car can also fiddle with him steadily and quickly, plus this curtain is thick, and he can use a small stone to break the curtain and throw it into the car, and it can not be alarming, this hand has to be practiced for at least decades." ”

When the monk mentioned the word skill, Xu Xun was already secretly paying attention, but his face was still indifferent. And when he heard the explanation that the second half clearly referred to something else, he squinted at the monk dressed as a follower next to him, and couldn't help laughing: "If I didn't know that you were a monk and listened to your tone, I would really be a practitioner who begged for a life on the knife edge." ”

Huitong's original intention was to probe Xu Xun's roots, but unexpectedly he leaked his own bottom, and when he regretted his words, he smiled and said nothing. However, he didn't speak, but Xu Xun wouldn't let him go, and talked a lot about everything, and finally mentioned the Shen family, who originally lived in Jurong, and asked about the customs of the counties near Nanjing as if curious. Seeing that Xu Xun didn't continue to ask about the previous matter, Huitong didn't care at all, and said a lot of questions and answers, and when Xu Xun mentioned Jurong, he pouted.

"There are a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries in Jurong. After all, the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are fertile, and whoever takes advantage of it is a big advantage. It's just that there are many hundred-year-old fields, and the owner easily refuses to change hands, and the wasteland is long gone. A few years ago, for a piece of feng shui treasure, the two bigwigs of Nanjing's Ministry of Officials and Households, and Zheng Gonggong, who had been guarding Nanjing for many years, also fought a lot of lawsuits, but in the end there was no result. ”

Although Huitong was just a few words, Xu Xun had a general perception and didn't go any further. Along the way, he still talked to Huitong without a match, and gradually only felt that although this monk was sometimes vulgar and sometimes elegant, he knew a lot and saw a lot, coupled with the skill and eyesight that was revealed at the beginning, it was obvious that he was absolutely very human. Just as he listened with great interest to Huitong about the situation of smuggling out of the fortress with a caravan but encountering a horse thief, there was a sudden knocking sound outside the carriage.

"Young master, the Yamen of the Nancheng Terracotta Division has arrived."

After going to Yingtianfu Yamen, visiting the Yamen of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division at this moment, Xu Xun couldn't help muttering in his heart. If it weren't for Jin Liu's just saying that he had arrived, he couldn't believe it when he got out of the car, this courtyard with dilapidated gates and low walls, and loud shouts and noises coming from time to time, turned out to be the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division who were in charge of hundreds of streets and alleys in the south of Jinling City, public security, fire, anti-theft, and so on.

After standing in front of the door, he didn't see anyone passing by in the alley, and at the open gate, there was not even a gatekeeper, but the sound of dice rolling became more and more noisy.

"Hurry up, buy and leave, don't miss the business of playing the board later!"

"Can't be wrong! Besides, when did you become so diligent, aren't you just a bad old man, and you're not a beautiful girl! ”

"Phew! There is no big girl with silver, and when those mothers-in-law in Willow Lane see the silver, they are not all able to stammer! ”

"Count yourself lucky, you actually got two pieces of money for such a trivial matter, why didn't Lao Tzu get such a good thing!"

Xu Xun, who was standing outside the door, heard this, and immediately strode forward, and was about to call someone, but just as he saw a person in a grass-green robe walking out of the central main room at his feet. A pair of eyes on both sides recognized each other, and Xu Xun saw the other party gesturing at him, and immediately stopped. And a military man who was shaking the dice in the courtyard glanced here, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, there is an acquaintance who came to look for Jiang Ye?" ”

"It's my eldest nephew!"

Jiang Yan didn't look back and said a word, seeing that the group of people didn't care at all, and they continued to gamble noisily, he immediately walked out quickly, and without saying a word, he pulled Xu Xun to the carriage outside, and said in a low voice: "Commander Zhu personally spoke about the matter of Xu Laohan, and I helped with two sentences, but where can I stand up to the eldest young master of the Xu family to come in person." Young Master Xu has a big hand, and the two executions have given him a point, there is no way to do this, and it should not be light. Commander Zhu let go, this fire in Taiping is a major event that stabs the sky, if you don't beat the board and kill it, now this habit is not good, and he won't listen to anyone who pleads! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xun's face was slightly gloomy, but Huitong on the side had already sneered, and Jin Liu, who came closer, gasped when he heard the words, remembering that the guy outside the Qingping Building last night said that his young master saw a great nobleman, so he said tentatively: "Young master, why don't you go and ask that ......"

Before he finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth when he saw Xu Xun throwing a stern look. And after Xu Xun stopped Jin Liu, he glanced at Huitong, who was obviously a little uncontrollable, and then arched his hand to Jiang Yan.

"Thank you Jiang Ye for telling me this."

"It should be, it should be." Jiang Yanmu remembered the little money Xu Xun gave him last night, and later Wu Shouzheng gave an extra five taels, originally planned to take a special trip to Taipingli, but at this time, he could bump into him at the door, and he could save himself a lot of roads. However, Xu Xun's next words made him hesitate.

"Since Commander Zhu doesn't listen to people's pleas, can he bother Jiang Ye to delay the execution time for a moment or two? It's morning now, just ask Jiang Ye to delay at least noon, the longer the better. When it happens, I will be grateful! ”

This is to say intercession, Commander Zhu's words have already broken this way, but if you want to say delay, Jiang Yimu pondered for a moment, looked back at the courtyard where the sound was getting noisier and louder, he thought about his meager income, less and less income, and finally nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll try to do it." But I have something to say first, at most in the afternoon, I'm afraid it's difficult to delay it again, Seventh Young Master hurry up! ”

Seeing Jiang Yimu returning to the courtyard like a gust of wind, Xu Xun stood for a moment and then turned his head sideways and instructed Jin Liu: "Go to Yingtianfu." ”

Jin Liu, who understood it, went back to catch the car, but Huitong frowned and said, "Xu Qishao, do you want to beg your sixth uncle?" Although he has just been promoted, he is only a seventh-rank official in the department, and he has to rank last in the government. Commander Zhu of the Nancheng Terracotta Division is a six-rank palm seal officer who is serious and may not be able to buy face. Instead of you going to touch the nails, it's better to leave this matter to me, and take advantage of the delay of Jiang Yanmu, I will fish out Xu Ba! ”

"Do you want to go to the end of the world with Uncle Xu to catch books in Shanghai?" Xu Xun asked in a deep voice, and seeing that Huitong was speechless for a while, he turned around and walked towards the carriage, but said without looking back, "If you don't want to, then listen to me!" ”

Listening to me, Huitong couldn't help but be stunned, seeing Xu Xun get into the carriage like this, he gently closed his hands and grinned for a while: "Okay, I'll see what strange tricks you Xu Qishao can make!" ”
