Chapter 0153 - Knocking on the edges and mending the seams
Zhang Chuchen understood the deep meaning of Zhang Xuan's gaze, she didn't want to deny that her father-in-law did not let Xuanwu Huofeng participate in Li Shanheng's affairs, but her intuition told her that Zhang Xuan must also be looking for this Li Shanheng, but it was a pity that she couldn't keep an eye on him, and he snatched Li Shanheng away last night, which made her father-in-law fall into passivity, which made Zhang Chuchen very depressed.
"Let's go in and talk!"
Zhang Chuchen closed the courtyard door and walked towards the house, at this time, a guy saluted Zhang Chuchen and smiled: "The proprietor is here!" ”
Zhang Xuan was stunned, she was actually the proprietor of this shop, "Do you think it's strange?" Zhang Chuchen glanced back at him, "Do you think I'm a poor bastard?" ”
"I didn't mean that, no wonder I always meet you in the West Market." Jang Hyun understood some of these reasons.
"It doesn't matter if you meet me in the West Market and I have this store, I rarely come to this store once a year, please take a seat!"
They walked into the room, Zhang Chuchen asked Zhang Xuan to sit down, Ah Yuan hurriedly served them tea, Zhang Chuchen glanced at Ah Yuan and said with a smile: "I met Ah Yuan in the west of the city yesterday, she is asking around, do you know where the army from Zhuo County is stationed, the leader is called Zhang Xuan." ”
"Sister, people were also in a hurry at that time, so," Ah Yuan said embarrassedly on the side.
"I'm glad you asked, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you."
Zhang Chuchen said to Zhang Xuan again: "I told her that I knew Zhang Xuan, and she still didn't believe it, so I said that she was tall, ugly and black, like a mule, and she believed it." ”
Zhang Xuan touched his face and smiled: "I won't!" ”
Ah Yuan twisted and said: "Childe, don't listen to Sister's nonsense, Sister's words were said by your Xuan, so I believed it." ”
Zhang Chuchen knocked on the table, and said to Zhang Xuan with a sinking face: "Don't think I'm a good talker, I helped you find Ah Yuan, and you owe me a favor, how do you say you want to pay me back?" ”
Zhang Xuan knew that it was just an excuse for her to compete with her and gamble on swords, even if she didn't bet with her, she would return Ah Yuan to herself, but she was always cold to herself. Now it seems to be a different person, which really makes Zhang Xuan feel a little strange.
Zhang Xuan smiled and asked, "What does the girl want?" ”
Zhang Chuchen smiled slyly, "Are you serious?" What I want, you promise? ”
Jang Hyun knew that she was deliberately picking out her own words. He didn't argue, "Tell me about it!" ”
"Actually, my requirements are not high, my father-in-law gave me a task to go to Shandong to get rid of a person. But I'm not allowed to bring other fire phoenixes, I think my strength is a bit thin, so I hope you can help me? ”
Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "The girl said that killing people is like eating." ”
Zhang Chuchen shook his head, looked at Zhang Xuan and said: "I never kill innocents indiscriminately, the people I kill are burdened with countless blood debts, if they don't die, more innocent people will die, in my opinion, eliminating evil is promoting good." This is my belief, forget it, I won't tell you this, just tell me if you are willing to help me? ”
"It depends! If it is true that the other party is the one who should be killed, and I can help, maybe I will help the girl. ”
"Then we'll make up our minds!"
Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "I can only say as much as possible." ”
"Why does Childe want me to live in Lu Mansion, didn't you say that you want to buy a house in Luoyang?" Ah Yuan sat in the carriage and pouted, and asked a little unhappily.
Zhang Xuan rode a horse to the side and said with a smile: "Of course you have to buy a house." But I can't buy it for a while, the key is that you live in Lu Mansion and can still do me a great favor. ”
"What are you helping your son with?" Ah Yuan asked curiously.
Zhang Xuan originally thought that this little girl was a burden. But now he suddenly found that this little girl is a very useful person, and she is loyal to herself, maybe she can be an excellent matchmaker, he thought about it, and beckoned to her, "Come here!" ”
Ah Yuan hurriedly stepped forward with a small round face. The root of the ear was a little red, and Zhang Xuan leaned over and said a few words to her.
Ah Yuan's bright eyes suddenly lit up, she covered her mouth and was surprised, it turned out that Gongzi likes Qing girl, good eyesight!
She smiled like a bloom on her face, and nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, "Don't worry, Childe!" I will follow Miss Qing and ensure that the son will return with a beautiful woman. ”
Zhang Xuan pinched her little round face and smiled: "Who did you learn from?" ”
"If everyone says that, they will too! Childe always thinks that people are children. ”
Zhang Xuan smiled dumbly, took out a gold ingot of fifty taels from the horse bag, and handed it to her, "This is a reward for you, usually go to eat snacks and the like, you have to take care of Miss Qing for me, I will have a heavy reward in the future." ”
"Childe, I don't want it!" Ah Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and refused to accept the gold.
Zhang Xuan is strange, this little money fan doesn't love money anymore, but it's rare, "Then what do you want?" ”
Ah Yuan lowered his head and whispered, "I don't want to go back to Luo's house, I want to follow my son." ”
Zhang Xuan understood her careful thoughts, this little girl wanted to follow her, afraid that accepting the gold would become a transaction, this tricky and eccentric little girl.
Zhang Xuan stuffed the gold to her, and said softly: "You will follow Miss Qing in the future and take good care of her for me, your identity deed, I will help you come back in the future, understand?" ”
"Thank you, Childe!" Ah Yuan was both moved and happy in her heart, her son was so good to her, she didn't want to go back to the Luo family.
"Don't worry, Childe! I will serve Miss Qing well. ”
"It's not serving, it's taking care, understand?"
Ah Yuan's eyes were red, and he nodded slightly, "Childe, I understand!" ”
"Let's go! I'll send you back to Lu's house first. ”
Zhang Xuan followed the carriage and headed in the direction of Tianjie.
.......
There is a deep alley diagonally opposite the gate of Pei's Mansion in Xiuye Fang, at this time at the mouth of the alley, Wei Chigong leaned against a big tree, chewing a grass root in his mouth, looking a little listless, but his sharp eyes were watching everyone in and out of Pei's Mansion.
Wei Chigong has an unusual ability to discriminate, he can see everyone's expressions and movements, in fact, Yu Chigong doesn't know who Zhang Xuan wants to come to Pei's Mansion to observe, but he believes in Zhang Xuan's judgment, he wants to keep an eye on Pei's Mansion by himself, something must happen.
At this time, a wide carriage under the strict escort of dozens of attendants with knives drove over from the far gate, and the lantern hanging on the wheel was written with three black characters on it, which was Pei Ju's return, and Yu Chigong dodged behind the big tree.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Pei's mansion, and two people ran out of the side door next to the gate, and helped Pei Ju out of the carriage.
Wei Chigong looked at it very carefully, and his intuition told him that what Zhang Xuan wanted him to pay attention to was likely to happen.
He looked at the sky, it was almost dusk, and after a while, a middle-aged man, tall and burly, with vigorous steps, turned over a horse and urged the horse to slowly go towards the door.
Wei Chigong was in high spirits, and he could see through the disguise of this middle-aged man at a glance, where was the middle-aged man, this person's walking posture, with a straight waist, was clearly dressed as a young man with high martial arts.
Wei Chigong knew that the appearance of this person was the reason why Zhang Xuan wanted to keep an eye on Pei Mansion by himself, and he also turned on his horse and glanced at the two soldiers in the distance, and the three of them followed far behind the middle-aged man one after the other.
The middle-aged man entered Jishanfang and walked into a wine shop called Wuwei Fu, which is a medium-sized wine shop covering an area of about two acres.
When Wei Chigong entered the wine shop, he separated from his two subordinates, and he went up to the second floor alone, sat in a darker corner under the stairs, asked for a pot of wine and two dishes, and swept his sharp gaze over everyone on the second floor.
This wine shop has only three floors, two lobbies, and the third floor is a private room, and the middle-aged man is not seen on the first floor, he is most likely on the second floor.
At this time, Wei Chigong's eyes narrowed, and he found the middle-aged man, sitting alone in another corner drinking, but the man's eyes were firmly fixed on the staircase leading to the third floor, and it seemed that the person he was looking for was on the third floor.
There were people coming and going on the stairs, and after about a quarter of an hour, the middle-aged man suddenly stood up, and Wei Chigong also noticed that there were several people talking and laughing from the third floor, and there was a young and handsome official walking in front.
"How did Brother Yuan escape, haha! Throw in the towel? ”
"Who admits defeat, I just go to the toilet and come back soon, I can still drink two more pots of wine, don't believe it and wait and see!"
The young official walked quickly downstairs, and the middle-aged man also followed, and Wei Chigong asked a drinker next to him in a low voice: "This brother, who is the official surnamed Yuan just now?" ”
The drinker, who was also a minor official, smiled slightly, "Don't you even know him?" Yuan Jun, one of the four sons of Luoyang, the eldest grandson of the Yuan family, has a bright future! ”
Wei Chigong nodded, "Thank you!" ”
He poured himself a full glass of wine, got up and slowly walked to the window next to the stairs, where he could clearly see the backyard, only to see that the middle-aged man had stopped Yuan Jun and was whispering something to him, at this time the night had not yet fallen, and Yu Chigong could clearly see the stunned expression on Yuan Jun's face.
The middle-aged man immediately said goodbye to him, but did not go upstairs, and rode away from the wine shop directly, at this time Wei Chigong no longer cared about the middle-aged man of the Pei family, his mind was on the body of Sun Yuanjun, the eldest son of the Yuan family, he didn't understand why Pei Ju was looking for the Yuan family, but he knew that this must be what Zhang Xuan was most concerned about.
Wei Chigong and two of his men went to wait opposite the wine shop, and after a short time, they saw Yuan Jun hurriedly come out of the wine shop and get into a carriage, which was escorted by several attendants and quickly drove towards the fangmen.
"You two keep an eye on the carriage, I'll report to the general!"
The two men saluted and urged the horse to follow the carriage, while Wei Chigong hurried to the Bibo wine shop outside the west city
