403 Rumors
Seeing off the old lady, Yelu Nan stood at the door of the inn, and after a while, he summoned his own relatives and sent him to deliver a letter to the palace and the Qi mansion.
Based on past experience, the Qi family couple, who love their son, will definitely come to the inn to check on their baby son's situation in person after receiving the news. As for his good Uncle Wang, Yelu Nan couldn't help but sneer, he was suspicious by nature, when he heard that Ah Feng was sick, his first reaction should be that Ah Feng was pretending, after all, the front foot just sued him in front of him, and the back foot couldn't afford to be sick, this is too much of a coincidence, too much like a bitter meat trick, it is estimated that a person will be suspicious, not to mention, Uncle Wang himself is a very suspicious person.
Feeling a little cold on his body, Yelu Nan pushed open the door of the inn, walked in, and stood in front of the charcoal basin to roast the fire. In his opinion, Uncle Wang will definitely inquire about the situation carefully, not only will he ask his guards, but he will also summon the old lady who came to see him into the palace just now, and maybe he will also send a personal attendant to visit the patient, which is actually an investigation. If it's really sick, it's good, but if it's pretending to be sick...... I'm afraid it's inevitable to be reprimanded.
Thinking of this, the sneer on Yelu Nan's face deepened, and his heart was even colder, those people who were cold by nature, once they ascended to that position and held the supreme power in their hands, those dearest loved ones would not take it to heart, and all that was left was calculation.
Feeling that his body was roasting warmly, Yelu Nan was about to go back to guard Qi Zhifeng, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the shopkeeper with a worried face.
"Lord, Childe's situation ......"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that he ate too much cold stuff and froze, plus he contracted some wind chill along the way, and it broke out all at once. It's just that the illness is menacing, and it looks very serious, so don't worry too much. Yelu Nan patted him on the shoulder, "It is estimated that it won't be long before Lord Qi and Mrs. Qi come back, and they don't need to be reported, just take them over." ”
"Okay, sir!" The shopkeeper took two quick steps and kept up with Yelu Nan's footsteps, "Lord hasn't eaten for a day?" The subordinates asked the dining room to prepare some hot food, so that they could eat a bite. Also, do you want to stay here at night? Do you need to prepare a separate room? ”
"Hmm......" Ye Lunan thought for a while, "There is no need to prepare a room alone, isn't there a soft couch in Ah Feng's room, I'll just sleep there, just prepare a few more quilts." And also...... Cook more noodle soup, put more meat, put more vegetables, and distribute them to the brothers, who are still hungry. There is also more ginger in the soup, it is too cold this day, if you are not careful, you may also get sick. ”
"Okay, I see, I'll go and tell now." The shopkeeper nodded, sent Yelunan to the door, saluted, and turned to leave.
Yelu Nan watched the shopkeeper leave, gently pushed open the door, and when he walked in, he saw that Mei Zhu had taken over Shen Cha's work, and then changed Qi Zhifeng's handkerchief. When I saw him come in, I bowed slightly.
"The old lady is gone?" Jin Jing poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Yelu Nan, "Isn't this child usually sick?" ”
"It's really relatively rare, especially in the past two years, basically it hasn't been so serious." Yelu Nan took the cup and took a sip, walked to the edge of the bed, bent down slightly, and reached out to touch his forehead, "It's still very hot, even the breath exhaled is hot!" ”
"Don't worry, it's not a good thing not to get sick too much, this time he burns it thoroughly, and the bad things that accumulate in his body on weekdays will burst out, which is very good for him."
"The general is right, and the old lady told me so, so I don't have to worry. And ......" Yelu Nan dragged a stool and sat beside Jin Jing, "I have already sent someone to the palace and the Qi Mansion to deliver the letter, it is estimated that it will not be long before someone comes." ”
"Gongzi Qi is going to stay here for a few days, Lord Qi and Mrs. Qi care about their son, and they will definitely come back to see it." Jin Jing stretched, "Otherwise...... Let's all go to the lobby and sit, just stay here Merlin and Meizhu, if there is anything, they can tell us in time. ”
"Good!" Shen Cha stood up, "It's useless for so many of us to stay here, there are too many people in the house, and it's not good for him." ”
Yelu Nan agreed with the two of them, expressed his gratitude to Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, and left the room with Shen Cha and Jin Jing to the lobby.
They picked a table sheltered from the wind, and the shopkeeper served them hot tea, and put several plates of dim sum for Yelu Nan's stomach, and the kitchen was cooking noodles, and it would take a while to serve them.
"Actually, when that rumor first appeared, we already started investigating." Yelunan took a piece of puff pastry and took a bite, "It's busy, but it's a little bigger, and we can't ignore it." ”
"Look at you like this, have you found out?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "Who is so bold as to dare to say such a thing?" ”
"It came from prison."
"In prison?" Shen Cha and Jin Jing glanced at each other and shook their heads, "This ...... Impossible, right? How could such rumors appear in prison? Even if it could, it wouldn't spread to the outside world! Brother Ah Feng told us that now not only the mansion of the important ministers, but also the ordinary people are talking about this matter. ”
"That's the case, the first king died of illness, and the new king succeeded to the throne, all of them need to be amnesty, and we do the same with Xia Guo, and we will release some annoying people whose crimes are not particularly serious, such as petty theft, fights and brawls in the streets, etc., which will be dealt with according to the situation at the time of closing the case and their situation in prison. Of course, it is not for nothing that they are released, they always have to pay a certain price. Under normal circumstances, each prisoner in the prison has to be beaten for thirty boards, and it is okay to pay a certain fine if he does not want to be beaten, and the amount of the fine also depends on their respective circumstances, the minimum is about one hundred taels of silver, and the most is not more than three thousand taels. ”
"So, this rumor came from the mouths of the prisoners who were released?" Jin Jing shook her head, "They just came out, they don't behave well, they are not careful, how can they dare to spread such gossip that will lose their heads?" Don't want to die? ”
"The military advisor doesn't know, the first batch of people who come out are those sons and brothers who don't lack this fine at home, even if they live in prison for three years and five years, they will not restrain, they still go their own way, and they can say whatever they want. They themselves admit that they said the words. ”
"They admit it?" Jin Jing sneered, "These gentlemen never expected that just a few days after they came out of prison, they would be arrested by Nan Gongzi again for nonsense. ”
"No, there is no need for torture at all, just a little scare, and all of them will be recruited. They don't feel that there is anything wrong with them, and when they are in prison, because life is too boring, they talk about people and things outside when they have nothing to do. ”
"It's possible, when they're in prison, no matter what they say, they won't spread it, but once they come out of it...... Jin Jing sneered, "If you don't have a door, you'll get yourself in trouble." So, is there no one behind it? I don't think so. ”
"That's what I thought too." Yelu Nan nodded, watched the shopkeeper come over with a large tray, shook his head lightly at the two people, and waited for the shopkeeper to arrange his soup noodles and side dishes before leaving, and then continued, "But it's not appropriate to make a big deal now, it's better to investigate quietly." ”
"However, such rumors are expected." Shen Cha lowered his voice and said, "If Gongzi Lan hasn't been canonized for a day, such rumors won't disappear." This time, I pressed it down, and in a few days, it will still pop up, and the symptoms will not cure the root cause. He looked at Yelu Nan, who was snoring and eating noodles, "Watching coldly, that one didn't mean that." ”
"No, I don't know if I forgot it, or if I really didn't, anyway......" Yelunan shrugged, scooped up a slice of mutton from the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, "He won't take the initiative to mention this matter himself, and we won't say it, so as not to arouse suspicion." Therefore, the general suggested that he go to the army for training, which was the best policy. ”
"How's it going? He...... Did you ask to see the emissary of the Kingdom of Jin? ”
"Since the mission came, I lit him requiem incense every day, making him groggy and lacking the physical strength and energy to do anything else." Yelu Nan ate a large bowl of noodles cleanly, "I went to see him last night, and I slept very soundly. ”
"That's good, requiem incense has no bad effect on people, and it's okay to have a slightly larger dose. These people told him to settle down and not come out and make trouble. As for those envoys of the Jin Kingdom, Nan Gongzi doesn't have to find it tricky, as for us, it's a good excuse. ”
"Oh?" Yelu Nan's eyes lit up, "What does General Shen mean ......"
"A good excuse for sending troops to the door automatically by the golden people."
