Chapter 31: The Most Important Letter Yet

When Hu Zhou and his entourage returned to the house, someone was already waiting at the door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although he didn't remember him, Hu Zhou remembered him, because he had just met him not long ago, and he was from Xu Cheng's mansion.

When the visitor saw Hu Zhou, he showed some smiles, and when Hu Zhou approached, he said, "My lord wants to invite his son to come over to the house." ”

"Now?" Hu Zhou asked.

"Childe is inconvenient?" The person who came frowned, he didn't believe that there would be someone in Yunbian who would refuse Xu Cheng's active invitation. Not to mention that it's just a little late now, what about the middle of the night?

"It's not inconvenient, or you go back first, and I'll rush over after I've eaten, bathed and changed. Don't worry, I know the road. Hu Zhou replied.

The person who came was slightly stunned, and said with a displeased face: "Childe is joking?" ”

"You think it's funny?" Hu Zhou asked rhetorically.

"It's not funny!" The anger on the faces of the people who came was already obvious.

Hu Zhou glanced at him and said lightly: "So I didn't joke with you, Li Zhi, open the door and make a fire to cook rice, today's bone broth doesn't have to be slow, just boil the soup white." ”

He really wasn't going to go right away. Qin Yong understood that no one would refuse Xu Cheng's invitation, at least not by the clouds, so after thinking about it, there must be something wrong on his side.

"Master Hu, I've been waiting here for nearly an hour, my family is a little anxious, I think there must be something important to find Gongzi." Qin Yong no longer held his identity as the steward of the City Pastoral Mansion, and said warmly.

"Your Excellency is in a hurry, why didn't you say it earlier? If things are delayed, are you responsible or am I responsible? Hu Zhou said unhappily.

Qin Yongxin said, I know that you have listened to the call of Lord Chengmu, can you still calmly eat first and then bathe?

"What Hu Gongzi said is very true, don't delay any longer, follow me quickly." Hu Zhou is not sophisticated, Qin Yong is really anxious.

Seeing Qin Yong, Hu Zhou kept thinking about why Xu Cheng would look for him. Bai said that what happened in Xiaguang Taobao was obviously not worth Xu Chengcheng to find him for such a trivial matter, even if he left a backup hand for that incident. Then the biggest possibility is about Zhu Qian.

Hu Zhou didn't know how long Qin Yong had been waiting, and he wasn't sure if the matter was in a hurry, so there would be the scene just now. There will be no displeasure from Xu Cheng and others, it is clear that Qin Yong was not in a hurry and waited at the door, and did not go to look for him, so he even met, and he was not willing to move a step, but he easily put the responsibility on Hu Zhou. At this time, Hu Zhou did not want to leave a bad impression on Xu Cheng. If Qin Yong told Fang Cai's matter, even if he added oil and vinegar, Xu Cheng would definitely guess that something was wrong.

This time, Qin Yong directly led Hu Zhou to the study.

Xu Cheng turned his back to the door, and Hu Zhou finally had a chance to look at the layout of the study. This is a real study, divided into categories, with many books neatly stacked. Judging from the time when Lanzi dismounted from the horse to govern the country, it was by no means an easy task for even the shepherd of a city in the national capital to have such a large collection of books.

Qin Yong didn't come in, he gently pushed open the door and let Hu Zhou in, then closed the door and turned to leave.

"Business is doing well?" Xu Cheng did not turn around when he spoke.

Hu Zhou knew that this was not a temptation, because there was no need. If I had to say it, it was probably a pleasantry. Hu Zhou came later than expected, so Xu Cheng asked if it was because he was too busy with business.

"It's better than the previous days, but today I'm in some trouble, so it's later than usual. It's been solved though. Hu Zhou explained.

Xu Cheng didn't ask what the trouble was, turned around, and said casually: "Along the way, I was thinking about why I was looking for you?" ”

Hu Zhou nodded.

"Figured it out?" Xu Cheng's words seem to be more than ordinary.

"I think it has something to do with Your Highness." Hu Zhou said.

didn't immediately explain why he was looking for Hu Zhou, Xu Cheng asked, "The person lost in His Highness's mansion has been found?" ”

Hu Zhou said: "Your Highness sent someone to say that if you lose it, you will lose it." ”

Next, Xu Cheng walked to the bottom of the cabinet full of books, spread out the plain paper, took off the slightly thick wolf hair from the pen holder, looked up and said, "Come and study ink for me." ”

Hu Zhou is familiar with ink, and Xu Cheng's words can only be said to be average.

When Xu Cheng was writing, Hu Zhou didn't deliberately look at what he wrote.

It wasn't until Xu Cheng finished writing and put it in an envelope that Hu Zhou knew that he was writing a letter.

"Give this letter to Your Highness for me." Xu Cheng said.

"Give it to Your Highness?" Hu Zhou was a little surprised.

Xu Cheng nodded and affirmed: "I will write to you the address of Your Highness later, and the letter will be handed over to Your Highness." ”

Of course, Hu Zhou couldn't refuse, he didn't read it just now, and now he can't know what is written in the letter.

It doesn't matter what is written in the letter, the key is that Xu Cheng asked Hu Zhou to send the letter over. This is very similar to some Zhishi officials, let their own children or new protΓ©gΓ©s, take their own handwritten letters to visit a party of senior officials, the letter is greeting or flattery, and it does not matter, the key is to rely on that piece of paper, step into the door that many people are extremely poor and cannot squeeze in their lives.

Hu Zhou was kept in the dark.

Xu Cheng was embarrassed to make such a decision, and at the same time felt guilty for a certain possibility. Compared with the troubles that Hu Zhoubai encountered in Xiaguang Taobao, Xu Cheng can be regarded as anxious these days.

It wasn't a big deal.

Somewhere in the alley by the clouds, a few people died. There is nothing special about people, and they are even idle, but they are all Jinyue people. All of this was originally nothing, and according to the convention, it ended up being a fight and unfortunately died, and it was a hasty matter. But this case can't, from the county government to the Spiegel Division, and then handed over to the Chengmu Mansion and the three divisions to solve the case within a time limit. The development of events was beyond everyone's expectations.

Xu Cheng felt unprecedented pressure. The pressure did not come from the case itself, but from the eldest prince and the third prince who were involved. For Xu Cheng, the development of the matter is no longer about solving the case, and it has nothing to do with the deadline, it is the advance of the crown prince's position.

In recent years, Zhu Feng, the son of heaven who has ceased to be diligent in government affairs, has become more and more moody and unpredictable. The emperor was upright and in his prime, but he was not established as a prince. This is the most important thing for Lanzi besides the marriage of Princess Linglong Zhu Lingyue. There was a direct advice from the official, and the prince should be established early, and the country of Baohong Tu Society will continue. And then there was no then.

In such a situation, if you want to do it, you may lose your life, but the odds of winning are half and half of the buy and leave the sale, so Xu Chengzi, who has no room for serving, can't agree.

Zhu Qian became the best choice in desperation.

And such a choice requires a connecting point or line, and Hu Zhou has become Xu Cheng's current choice.

Seeing Zhu Qian's solemn expression when he read the letter, frowning from time to time, and turning the pages over and over again, Hu Zhou knew that the content of the letter must be very important.

Zhu Qian saw the content of the letter and had mixed feelings.

Holding the letter, Zhu Qian couldn't have imagined that the decision made at random in the Shake Niang Pavilion would bring him such a big surprise.

Yes, it's a surprise. Happy, but more still surprised. Shocked by the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, he said that he wanted to take a shortcut, and he was casually arranged in a house, and he would be recognized by Xu Cheng. is even more shocked that Xu Cheng will take refuge in himself, and it is obviously inappropriate to use the word refuge for the big housekeeper of Yunbian or Xu Cheng, who is bound to be in charge of the party when he goes out of Yunbian, but Zhu Qian, who is in a complicated mood, thinks so at the moment. Although the content of the letter is far from so straightforward.

Zhu Qian could naturally think of Xu Cheng's difficult situation now, and it was extremely difficult to choose to be attentive to his heart, but this did not hinder his mood at the moment. He was delighted.

If Hu Zhou looked for Xu Cheng at the beginning, Zhu Qian revealed that once Hu Zhou revealed the news of Chen Qing, he would kill people and kill people, and now it can be wiped out. Because now both Hu Zhou and Xu Cheng are his people.

"I remember you told me you wanted to take a shortcut." Zhu Qian, who finally put down the letter in his hand, said gently.

Hu Zhou didn't understand why he mentioned it, and looked up in surprise.
