Chapter 213 A Kong Ming Lantern
After Xie Shence finished speaking, he went downstairs, Caiyi covered his mouth and hurriedly followed, leaving Xie Laosan, who didn't know what happened for a while, stunned on the spot.
However, Xie Laosan looked at the four people on the ground with a depressed and panicked look, and he had already guessed something, these four people probably didn't know the identity of their young master, and they were afraid that there was something in them.
At that moment, Xie Laosan couldn't take care of the four of them, so he sneered twice and said, "You four...... Ah Cai, are you blind! Tomorrow I will go to the old house to plead guilty! Otherwise, I don't need to say, tie a stone and sink the Qin River! ”
After speaking, regardless of the faces of the four people, they hurriedly ran downstairs to chase Xie Shence.
It took a long time for the four of them to react. Xie Chengcai wiped the sweat from his head, and said with a hoarse throat: "Three...... Xie had never seen the little marquis, so he couldn't recognize it, and there were three of them, and the matter was ...... Since it is because of the below, tomorrow, under the guilt of the guilt, it is a big deal to die, and it will definitely not affect the three of them. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have some generous and tragic feelings, so he got up and walked downstairs with his head held high, and did not forget to pay the bill when he left, and solemnly paid the meal money for Xie Shence's table.
After Xie Chengcai left, the three local businessmen in Yangzhou City looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
After a while, a fat man said: "Although a certain businessman is profit-seeking, he is also an old Yangzhou!" If you can't do the pickled things that Brother Xie will face alone, he will go tomorrow. ”
When the other two heard this, their expressions were different, and one with a mustache thought for a while and said, "Brother Zou is reasonable, and the younger brother will accompany you." ”
The other with a long beard was a little hesitant: "This ...... In case the little marquis doesn't ...... I think it's better to go out of the city overnight. ”
Zou Fatzi and Liu Sancai glanced at each other and said: "Master Gu, if you want to run, we won't stop you, but you have to think clearly, the little marquis is the commander of the Tiqi Division, if he really wants to kill people, where can you run?" Anyway, Brother Liu and I are going, do you want to go...... Think about it. ”
After rolling his eyes a few times, Gu Fuzi finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" Someone in the valley will accompany you for a while! ”
After speaking, all three of them nodded firmly. Zou Fatzi looked around and found that the three of them were still kneeling on the ground, everyone was watching, it was very indecent, so he hurriedly got up, the blood was not smooth under the clinker kneeling for a long time, and his legs were unconscious, and he actually fell on the leg of the table where Xie Shence was sitting just now, and his head suddenly bled like an infusion, causing the people around him to scream.
"Murder!"
"I'm looking for a short time!"
"Run!"
“......”
Although Zou Fatzi's eyes were full of gold under the collision, reason still made him make the right choice.
"Don't panic! I fell on my own! I fell! It's nothing to do with anyone else! ”
After he yelled loudly a few times, the people on the second floor quieted down, although they would not come forward to help, but some people took the initiative to make way for the three of them.
If Xie Shence is here, he will definitely sigh that Zou Fatzi is of high quality, he is not slanderous, and he is a good comrade.
The moment Zou Fatzi's head blossomed, he actually had a lot of thoughts, and after hearing the exclamations of the people around him, he felt that there must be a conspiracy in this matter, and that "looking for a short view" was Chi. The naked harbor is evil.
They only learned Xie Shence's identity after offending Xie Shence, so they were all shocked at this time. Xie Laosan put down cruel words before leaving, once they can't get Xie Shence's forgiveness, it will be death. Even if Xie Shence didn't kill them, then the Xie family would make them stumble in the future business in order to please Xie Shence, and if they had nothing to do to find trouble, they wouldn't be able to live that day, and it was not impossible to destroy the family! Therefore, once Xie Shence does not forgive them, their fate will be almost predictable tragedy. Therefore, if they are afraid at this time, what will they do to find a short-sighted opinion, etc., is also a matter of course.
However, in this way, the nature of the matter will change, and once it is considered that it is a short-sighted opinion that they are actively seeking, then people have the impression that the Admiral of the Tiksar is arrogant and domineering in the family fiefdom, and then forces the good people to die.
So Zou Fatzi blurted out those few words, he thought: We must clear up the relationship between Lord Admiral and his injury. He thought so, and he did it.
And it turns out that Zou Fatzi's words really saved his life.
Soon after Xie Shence returned to the Xie family's old mansion, after choosing the south wing room and settling down, Xie Di came in with a person, and that person said something to Xie Shence.
After hearing this, Xie Shence smiled faintly: "This fat man is still a smart person, I know that he knew that he had instructed the store to keep his mouth shut afterwards?" Hehe, he can be a man and do things. But since this is the case, why did he instigate Xie Chengcai to rely on the momentum of the Xie family to be unfriendly to outsiders...... What about friendliness? ”
In this way, it is clear that those screams were actually the chaos that Xie Shence deliberately created, causing panic and seizing the first consciousness of the onlookers, making them mistakenly think that Xie Shence was trying to force people to death, so as to test the reaction of the three people. Now it seems that Zou Fatzi's reaction made Xie Shence very satisfied, but at the same time he had some questions.
After thinking about it, Xie Shence called Xie Laosan and said, "Check it, what do the three people just now have to do with the Xie family, good or bad, especially bad, you must find out for me, don't have the slightest mistake or omission." ”
Xie Laosan agreed, and then said at the moment: "Young Master, Ah Cai and those three people just now, Young Master, what you explained, the comprador land has the participation of that fat man." ”
Xie Shence frowned: "Since he is involved, then it must be someone you think can be trusted, how can such a person have an unhappiness with my Xie family?" Or is it him with that Ah ...... What's unpleasant about Ah Cai? ”
After a pause, Xie Shence said again: "I don't care, you have made mistakes and omissions in this matter, find a way to make up for it." I must ensure that every link of the thing I asked you to do must be fully mastered, and there can be no mistakes! ”
Xie Laosan responded again and again, and after he stepped back, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. The matter handed over to him by Xie Shence was the most confidential he had encountered in more than ten years, and all the people used were diehard loyalists of the Xie family - family staff, family iron guards, and they were all the strength of the Xie family in Jindu. Not to mention that he informed the Wang family or Tiqi, it was some of the families in the ancestral land, and they all let him choose carefully.
He knew the seriousness of this incident, so he also used his heart, it took a long time to finalize everything, and finally when he was comprador land, he used Xie Chengcai, who did not have much ambition and wisdom to rely on the family and was quite a big sycophant, and Zou Fatzi, who had quite a lot of means in Yangzhou City, Zou Fatzi was quite good at buying houses and land.
He originally thought that he had done a very beautiful thing, and he had not yet had time to ask for credit, but Xie Shence had not asked in detail, but just looked at him and said that he was not doing things well, which made him feel a little frustrated and afraid.
He is all relying on Xie Shence to have the name of the "third uncle" of Weihou Mansion now, and he was deliberately cultivated as a successor by the big housekeeper, if he falls out of favor in front of Xie Shence, I believe the end will not be too miserable. Although he knew that Xie Shence would definitely not be dissatisfied with him because of this trivial matter, as far as he was concerned, if Xie Shence was even the slightest dissatisfied, it would be his complete failure. Because of this, Xie Laosan said such heavy words to Xie Chengcai and the others on the second floor of the restaurant.
So he secretly made up his mind that he must deal with this matter perfectly.
Xie Shence said to Xie Di and the man in the room: "Fourth brother and sixth brother, you go and rest, you will have to worry more about the affairs here in the future." ”
The person who came in with Xie Di was Xie Gang, one of the leaders of the Xie family's iron guards, because he was ranked fourth among the righteous sons of the great housekeeper, so Xie Shence called him the fourth brother, and he also valued him as seriously as Xie Di.
Xie Gang was not polite at the moment, so he arched his hand with Xie Di and said, "The young master is polite, since this is the case, then don't disturb the young master's rest, I will retire." ”
After Xie Gang and Xie Di went down, Xie Shence stretched comfortably, and then returned to the side room, but when he entered the door, he found that Caiyi had placed an incense case by the small flower garden, kneeling there with his hands folded and his eyes closed.
Xie Shence knew that it was Caiyi paying tribute to Lu'er.
Lu'er's bizarre death was later explained by Sima Shi as being injured by a poisonous snake, so except for a few people, no one among the subordinates knows the real reason. And the subordinates did not dare to discuss Lu'er privately. Everyone can see that after Lu'er's death last year, the little marquis was unhappy for a long time. In the Xie family, no one dares to say the gossip of the prince Xie Shenwei, and no one is willing to say the gossip of the little marquis Xie Shence, the former does not dare because of fear, and the latter does not want to do it because of love.
For this reason, the fact that Lu'er existed in Weihou Mansion was quickly forgotten.
But some people will not forget, such as colorful clothes, such as thanking Shence.
Xie Shence walked to Caiyi's side, and then also folded his hands and said something. Caiyi opened her eyes when she heard the sound, looked up and saw that Xie Shence was also doing it, so she got up, and then said: "It's going to be clear, and the slave maid wants to put incense on Lu'er." ”
Xie Shence nodded and said, "Put a Kong Ming lantern in a while." ”
"What is a Kong Ming lantern?"
"It's a kind of flying lamp."
"How can the lights fly?"
"The young master will do it for you in a moment. Put the incense case away, let people see that it's not good. ”
Caiyi hummed, then accepted the incense case, and prepared the materials under Xie Shence's instructions.
A few bamboo strips, a piece of grease, a piece of white paper, a few threads, and after a while, Xie Shence was ready, and then took a pen and asked Caiyi to write what she wanted to say to Lu'er on it.
After the colorful clothes were written, and then covered them to prevent Xie Shence from seeing, Xie Shence smiled, and then lit the grease below, and the two held the Kong Ming lantern, and after a while, they let go gently, and the lamp flew up.
The higher she flew, Caiyi's neck also rose higher, and finally when the Kong Ming lantern became a small dot, Caiyi closed her eyes and whispered some words, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Xie Shence looked at this scene, and thought of the little girl who suddenly committed suicide in front of him, and his heart throbbed.
