Chapter Thirty-Four: Throwing Stones Doesn't Ask for Directions

A fire burned away Xu Xun's agitated mood of perceiving the opportunity after he went to Qingping Building for an invitation at night.

When I first arrived, I was faced with the crisis of survival, and I had to lag behind what future and future, and how to deal with the present first is serious. He originally wanted to stabilize the clan and slowly plan to get out, but now it seems that with the Xu family's family, who is calculating all day long, even if he seizes the opportunity in the future, he will be held hostage by them in everything. It must be known that in the eyes of the people of the time, the clan blood is the most important, and those are the elders. After last night's incident, Changfang will inevitably take this opportunity to mention the clan conference again, and what he has to do now is not to postpone this crisis, but how to use this crisis to completely get rid of the stumbling block of the Xu clan!

In addition, Fu Rong's famous thorn is certainly a good thing, but a good thing is not something that can be waved casually in his hand. On the contrary, it was said that the unpleasant chance encounter on the Qingping Building yesterday was somewhat interesting...... Fu Rong's status, he will not easily judge people, and it is impossible for him to open his mouth in front of him, if he can open a breakthrough from this side...... In addition, after the incident last night, he handed Wu Shouzheng a sentence or two, and this person was very likely to rush to the Nancheng Terracotta Division to help find out the news......

Although he slept on the bed for the second half of the night, he couldn't close his eyes anyway, and it was only in the last day that he got up with his surname. Originally, he didn't want to alarm Latham Latham, who was sleeping next door, but he didn't take two steps on the ground with his shoes pulled, and there was movement outside immediately. In a few moments, he saw Ryson enter the room dressed and sleepy-eyed.

"Young master, I tossed for half a night last night, and I got up so early today?"

"I can't sleep, you keep sleeping yours!" Without waiting for Rayson to straighten his waist, he flicked a finger on the little guy's head angrily, "Young and strong, get on the bed!" If I see you as impulsive as last night, without a second time, I'll drive you back to the country!" ”

This was supposed to be a scare, but where did Ruisheng know, so he hurriedly agreed and ran out. Xu Xun didn't have time to stop people, so he had no choice but to put on his clothes. Fortunately, he gradually got used to it these days, and after a while, a robe was also worn in a similar way. When he got out of the West House, he only heard the little guy's snoring in the compartment of the East Room opposite, and he didn't know if he was really tired last night, or if he was afraid that he wouldn't hear it.

"This kid!"

Walking out of the main room, Xu Xun remembered that Jin Liu still hadn't come back until the door closed last night. At that time, Ruisheng was very annoyed, and the sixth sister-in-law Jin apologized with a sneering face. At this time, he walked out of the second door quickly, and saw that Jin Liu was sweeping the floor with his back to him with a big broom, he raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to call. The next moment, Jin Liu suddenly turned his head, then dropped the broom and quickly stepped on the front fork hand to salute.

"Young master......" Jin Liu called respectfully, glanced at Xu Xun's face, and then said with a winch, "Last night, the little one didn't mean to leave you, but I actually met a few old acquaintances, and they couldn't help but ...... when they pulled him" Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth trembled twice as if twitching, and then he cried and said with a sad face, "The little one didn't know that it was so coincidental that there was a fire in Taiping, and when he came back from the third watch in the middle of the night, he was startled, it was my mother-in-law who said that the young master had just fallen asleep......"

When will Jin Liu call himself small, when will he please and behave, and when will he be proud and show off his skills, these days, Xu Xun has figured out seven points, so he didn't bother to listen to his strong apology at this time, and directly interrupted him: "You just said where you drove the carriage!" ”

"Small...... The small ......" Jin Liuzhi hesitated for a while, and saw that Xu Xun's face was gradually severe, he had to put his heart sideways, and the surname Suo knelt down on his knees, "The little one used to be a poor man in the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate for a while, and then he was expelled because of a mistake. ”

Xu Xun had long guessed that this guy had really done something in the yamen, and he was not surprised to hear this explanation at this moment, but naturally he would not let it go so easily, and after a little thought, he said with a smile: "You are really wronged by a person who used to serve the government to work at my low door." ”

"No, no, no, the little one is grateful to the young master, if the young master hadn't taken him in, the little one and his mother-in-law would have been living on the streets!" Jin Liu knew that he had disappeared without a trace at the critical moment last night, and his status must have plummeted in Xu Xun's eyes, so he hurriedly kowtowed three or four times, and then raised his head and said pitifully, "As long as the young master spares me, the little one will definitely be a cow and a horse......

"Okay, you don't need to be a cow or a horse!" Xu Xun is now limited in manpower, although Jin Liu is not a single-minded person, but even if he doesn't have such a handle in his hand, he doesn't want to lose such a bag to inquire, so he interrupted him again and said, "Just do your best in the future, if you are lazy and slippery, you know the end!" ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Seeing that Jin Liu kowtowed two more times before he got up, his appearance was seven points more honest than before, Xu Xun unconsciously moved in his heart, and guessed that this slippery guy probably heard something when he inquired in Qingping Building. But if the other party doesn't say it, he is happy to pretend not to know. Let Jin Liu inform Jin Liu's sister-in-law that she would bring breakfast, and he was about to turn around and go into the inner courtyard, when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door. Without waiting for his command, Jin Liu ran out in a puff of smoke. After a while, he led Wu Shouzheng in with a courteous face.

"Tossed for such a night last night, and the seventh prince got up so early?" Wu Shouzheng was still wearing the silk shirt, but his face looked even more smiling than yesterday, and greeted him attentively, seeing Xu Xun nodding at himself, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Seventh son, I just went to the Nancheng Terracotta Division to inquire about the news, I heard that it was the eldest son of Master Xu's family who had just been there early in the morning, and that Commander Zhu personally sent him out, and the two talked very happily. ”

"Thank you Wu Yuanwai for your trouble."

Wu Shouzheng said it easily, but just for this news, he was not a native of Jinling, and he made two rounds of money on the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Gate, and others still ignored him, thanks to Jiang Yimu, who also recognized him, and came out to say a few words. However, although it hurt to spend money, the scene he saw on the Qingping Tower last evening really shocked him too much, so not to mention the firefighting last night and the news just inquired, the money in his hand went out for more than ten or twenty times, he still thought it was worth it. Especially when Xu Xun heard this, he thanked him, and he felt that the whole person was ironed.

"How can you be worthy of the Seventh Son's thanks......"

Jin Liu watched from the side, seeing Wu Shouzheng's courteous appearance today, which was very different from the humility on the surface and grandeur in the heart when he came during the day yesterday, and then thought about the exclamation of the mother-in-law at home when she said that Wu Shouzheng took the money to Xu Xun last night, and the shock when he inquired about the news in Qingping Building, the last trace of hesitation in his heart disappeared without a trace.

Xu Xun asked Wu Shouzheng a few more questions, and inquired curiously about the situation of the prince for a while. Wu Shouzheng intends to sell well, he is omniscient, when he heard that this person gave Jinling the title of the first young, but the Duchess of Wei was tightly controlled, and called people to reprimand as soon as there was a movement, he confirmed Fu Rong's comments on Wang Shikun, and a thought gradually arose in his heart, and immediately whispered a few words to Wu Shouzheng. waited until Wu Shouzheng agreed to leave without saying a word, and then he signaled Jin Liu to come over.

"Go get the car ready, I'm going to go out later."

"The young master is going to the Nancheng Terracotta Division?" Jin Liu followed Xu Xun out of the door twice, and knew that this master was resolute, so he asked directly. Seeing that Xu Xun's head was acquiescing, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said sincerely, "Young master, it's not that I'm talkative, this old man Xu Liang's house is on fire, and it's clear that it's not so simple." According to the law, he can't escape this board no matter what. As for the soldiers and horses of this southern city...... The neighbors all know that the eldest lord co-opened a shop selling spices a few years ago, and the income is very expensive, because these things are already prohibited by the imperial court, and it is said that there are cadres under the command of Zhu. ”

Jin Liu's words to this point are nothing more than to persuade Xu Xun to think carefully. However, Xu Xun shook his head when he thought about the big red thorn in his arms of Fu Rong, the Nanjing garrison and the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies, and the idea that he had made up his mind all night.

"Needless to say, go get ready for the car."

Jin Liu persuaded hard, but it was just to show his demeanor as a loyal servant, and at this moment Xu Xun asked so, he immediately agreed without saying a word. He was about to go to the stable to prepare the cart, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a person standing behind him, and he was startled for a moment, and after taking a look at the dress again, he recognized that this was the monk mentioned by his mother-in-law. Noticing Jin Liu's strangeness, Xu Xun also turned his head back, and saw that it was Huitong who had to bow slightly. And Jin Liu went to the stable to clean up as soon as he slipped away.

"Xu Qishao, last night's incident is thanks to you, if it weren't for you, this trouble would be big......" Huitong's face was not serious, and it was unusually solemn at this time, "I really don't understand, although the Xu family's room lost a lot of people the night before yesterday, it's not a big deal, and Xu Ba lives in someone else's house after all, so it's only right to drive him away, why use such a desperate plan as arson?" A bad thing makes a big deal, and they don't have good fruit to eat. ”

"You're right." Xu Xun tossed and turned all night last night, why didn't he think of this, but since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother to drill the horns, and immediately asked, "If you don't understand, just do it first, what are your plans?" ”

Huitong squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Xun for a long time, and suddenly asked directly: "Are you sure that you can enter the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division to fish out Xu Ba?" ”

"I can't say for sure." Xu Xun shook his head, "But we have to see how it is first." That Jiang Yimu seemed to be able to speak, so I asked him first. ”

"Good!" Huitong nodded heavily, and then grinned, "Xu Qishao, monk, I have been walking the streets and alleys of Jinling City for several years, so I will follow you on this trip today, and I can take care of you in case of something." ”

"You?" Jin Lius, Sanxia, and Wuxun divided the two, packed up the carriage and parked outside the door, and as soon as he came in, he heard this, and immediately scoffed. Knowing that Xu Hao was the life-saving benefactor of his own young master, Xu Xun would forget it after running for him, but for this monk who came up by himself, how did he look at it unpleasantly, and immediately snorted lightly, "Isn't it gossip to let people watch a monk follow behind my young master?" ”

"I'm going to dress up like this, who knows I'm a monk?" Huitong took out a hat and buckled it on his head like a trick, if he didn't have the monk's robe, he would have been a burly follower at first glance. Seeing that Jin Liu was stunned for a moment, he looked at Xu Xun again and said, "Xu Qishao, I am very familiar with this area, and it will not be a burden to bring me." If you can't do it, I'll have to do the right thing. Xu Ba and I have been friends for a lifetime, and I can't watch him being killed! ”

Although he still couldn't figure out the path of this monk, but now at this juncture, Xu Xun only thought about it for a while and nodded: "It's okay, you just follow me." But I have a word first, when I go to the Nancheng Terracotta Division, you have to listen to me for whatever you say and do! ”

"Good!"

Huitong agreed happily, Xu Xun didn't say a word, and immediately took him out of the door. Jin Liuyi drove the carriage along the west side a stone's throw and turned south. Xu Xun in the carriage pondered what Huitong had mentioned earlier about the left side door, and was about to ask carefully, when the curtain was suddenly knocked open by something. Seeing that the thing was rushing straight to the door in front of him, he was about to block it with his hand, but his heart moved, and the surname Suo did not dodge or dodge. At this pass, a hand stretched out like lightning next to it, and steadily copied the flying thing.

Copied something, but Huitong immediately stretched out his head and poked out the window, this sudden change Jin Liu, who was driving, didn't know anything about it, and was still shouting in front of him to catch the car, and although there were pedestrians on the street, they all looked normal, and he couldn't see who had lost something and came in, so he frowned and retracted his head.

Sitting down again, he found that there was a ball of paper in his hand, Huitong glanced at Xu Xun as if inquiring, and when he nodded slightly, he carefully spread out the paper and flattened it, and saw that it was just an ordinary pebble, but there was some faint handwriting on the paper, so he handed it to Xu Xun without looking at it.

"Anyway, it won't be for me, Xu Qishao, look at it."

Xu Xun didn't say much, and when he took a look, he was stunned all of a sudden. The crooked handwriting on the paper seems to be the work of a beginner, but the content is very different from the graffiti-like handwriting.

"Beware of Jurong Zhao. If the Zhao family is the backup of the Xu family, although you have the help of Xu Liuye, you are definitely not its enemy. Be cautious. ”
