Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Ghost Within
Yunosuke was speechless for a while, and Su Jiao took advantage of the victory to pursue, put down the cup in her hand, and then echoed, "Moreover, I was there with my maid last night, but I really faced the attack of the gangsters." ”
"When the gangsters were performing, they heard my voice, so when they launched a riot, they also wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible, the purpose was to use me to blackmail Huai'an, so as to stop the two federations, this purpose must be very clear to adults and us, but what I want to emphasize is the other side."
Saying that, Su Jiao paused deliberately, exchanged a look with Mu Hibiscus, and asked curiously, "By the way, I heard that your country has always liked martial arts, I don't know if this adult has also studied?" ”
"This is natural, my country's ministers are all civil and military, even if their own officials are more important than diplomacy, and they dare not fall behind in martial arts." Suddenly, a question similar to a digression, Yunosuke was a little confused, but he was still very proud to answer truthfully.
"That's right, in that case, please observe the palm of the hand you are good at." Su Jiao nodded, and handed over the next words to Mu Hibiscus to finish for her.
"Lord You, I am good at using the long sword, and there are often calluses in the tiger's mouth, and if you are a person who often learns kendo, you must be able to see it at a glance. As for the long knife that the Wa Kingdom makes good use of, the handle is slightly heavier, so it is usually held with both hands or backhanded, and there are not many calluses at the tiger's mouth, but there will be some traces of friction on the edge of the palm. ”
"Moreover, the slave and maid yesterday fended off the gangsters who came to attack with their wife, and all of us present can testify that the gangsters are not holding our long sword, but a long knife that looks similar to it. Lord You didn't mention the matter of the tiger's mouth cocoon, could it be that in the chaos, he didn't even see what weapons the gangsters were holding? ”
"You-" Yunosuke was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, and became angry, but saw that there was an obvious callus in the tiger's mouth in the open palm of Hibiscus.
"So, I wonder if Yu-sama still insists that it's my hand?" Xiao Huai'an pursed his lips with a smile, picked up the cup and took a sip.
Yunosuke couldn't refute it, but he still stubbornly insisted on quibbling, "If what you said is true, then why were our people who were hurt the most yesterday?" ”
"In the midst of the riots, who can see who is who? Moreover, the gangsters are deliberately destroying the federation of the two countries, hoping that things will get bigger and bigger, and how can they be rare for these few of their own people. ”
Xiao Huai'an's words are cold but very true, although Yunosuke is a little pampered, but he still cares a little about the people in his own country.
"This, the official's father and the ministers all hope that the war can end, but our people have always been arrogant, originally did not agree with His Majesty to send the envoys over, or the ministers jointly signed a letter to agree, maybe it is really the official and others who did not think about it and failed to screen the people they brought."
"Lord You's kind, but what you said is just another aspect of it, I'm afraid that what you see is not complete." Anyway, out of humanitarianism, Xiao Huaian was polite enough to Youzhisuke.
But listening to the content of Yunosuke's words, it seems that he doesn't know that in fact, in the past two years, people from their country have sneaked into the capital. Such a patient and prudent arrangement may not have been initiated by their people.
Thinking about it, Xiao Huai'an rolled his eyes, put down the teacup, and then stood up, "Okay, the misunderstanding can be regarded as clear, and it is only a matter of time before the gangster is caught. ”
When the words landed, Yunosuke pursed his lips and stood up impatiently, and Xiao Huaian turned his head to look at Su Jiao again. Su Jiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted after realizing it and spread her hands.
"And that's the end? Didn't you call me here just to ask these words, didn't you want to identify who is a good citizen and who is a suspicious person, and you are going to leave and not take me to see it again? ”
"Lord You is here, if there is a person with an innocent background, he has already completely distinguished it in the morning, as for those in the lobby, they are just people who are in chaos with the storm and take the opportunity to vent their emotions, and later the people in the yamen will punish each person according to the severity of the crime, and you don't need to worry about it too much."
"It's really hard today, you made this trip, and I won't care about you when you quietly ran out of the house last night." Xiao Huai'an explained, waiting for Yunosuke to pack up his clothes, and then took the initiative to go over and open the door.
It stands to reason that after this sentence is released, it should be accepted as soon as it is released, but Su Jiao vaguely heard that something was not quite right with the content, stood up and walked to Xiao Huai'an in small steps.
"What do you mean by that, I came back before the curfew, don't say a few more words to this Lord You, and learn the atmosphere of their country." If it's really broken, you have to think about whether to break him up and come back in the future, or find another home.
As she spoke, Su Jiao still pinched her chin and nodded thoughtfully, while Xiao Huai'an took advantage of her inattention and gently knocked on the top of her head.
"Don't think about this mess, I'm saving face for you, yesterday you were so happy that you bought a large vase one person high, and the store only sent the bill to the house today, if I hadn't heard that I paid it for you this morning, I would really have to make people laugh."
"Ah~" Su Jiao blinked, and sighed lightly after knowing it, she just said casually at that time, this store is really honest enough. Fortunately, it can be reimbursed.
"I know, my fault, it's quite domineering to put it there, then you can be busy with you, I won't bother." Hurriedly showed Xiao Huai'an an an extraordinarily well-behaved and bright smile, Su Jiao turned to one side, and pulled Diecui and them to run away immediately.
Then, Yunosuke slowly finished tidying up his clothes, tidied up his messy hair a little, and it looked like that.
"The relationship between Lord Xiao and your wife is really good, quite enviable, if it is changed to our country, the wife only has the share of subservience to her husband."
"Okay." Hearing this, Xiao Huai'an turned his head, "If that's the case, how much fun do you have to lose." You-sama please. ”
After a while, Xiao Huai'an deliberately found the big carriages that pulled the suspect away yesterday, and the performance troupe and Younosuke who pulled two whole cars, and returned to the guest house.
In the pawn house, the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom had already crowded a large number of people in the lobby, and suddenly saw Yunosuke come back with a sullen face, among which Inoue River bore the brunt and hurriedly greeted him.
"My lord, where have you been, and why have you come back now? But it makes us anxious, if you don't come back, we all want to go directly to the street to send documents. ”
"Heh," Hearing this, Yunosuke laughed coldly, pulled Inoue River away from his side, and looked at everyone present again, "If you are really in such a hurry, why didn't anyone come to the yamen to find this official?" There was an accident in the performance troupe last night, and there was such a big movement, you are sleeping like dead pigs here, are you all deaf? ”
Yunosuke is not very old among these people, but his status is not low, according to his rank, it is natural for him to reprimand him like this, but according to his age, who is willing to obey him.
However, the official level crushed people to death, and it was impossible for them to quarrel with Yunosuke head-on, so they had to vent all their anger on Xiao Huai'an, who appeared later.
"What the hell are you guys eating? Yesterday, our envoy group had just entered Beijing, and there was such a big mess that even our envoys were dragged over and locked up by you, don't you have anything to explain? ”
Inoue He's stomach was full of anger when he scolded Younosuke, and he thought that finding Xiao Huai'an would be an outlet, but he saw that Yunosuke's face was getting worse and worse, and he pulled his sleeve tightly with disgust and disgust.
"Inoue-sama, don't be embarrassed here, you hurry up and come back to me, this matter has nothing to do with Daze."
"Your Excellency?!" Inoue was puzzled, and was about to ask a question, when two more pairs of guards came out from behind Xiao Huai'an.
"Lord You is right, it was the people of the Wa Kingdom who started the riot yesterday, and the main target of the attack is also the Lord and the Wa Guo Performance Troupe, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, this official specially deployed forty guards to protect the safety of the guest house at all times, so that the envoys can rest easy."
After that, Xiao Huai'an and Younosuke exchanged a look, then turned around and went out, Inoue was shocked when he heard it, swaying from side to side and not knowing what to say, so he hurriedly chased Xiao Huai'an's figure and ran out.
"What do you mean, my lord? We are your guests from afar, and we are not prisoners, do you want to put us under house arrest when you send so many people to guard us? ”
Outside the door of the guest house is the street of the residential area, although the number of people coming and going is not large, but it is enough to attract the attention of passers-by. Inoue River roared so unceremoniously that it instantly attracted many people to stop at this street entrance.
It just so happened that Xu Rulie also chose to come over today to greet the envoys, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly got out of the carriage and came over, "Why is Lord Inoue so angry, this Lord Xiao is the head of public security in our capital, and he must have his own considerations for what he does, could it be that he offended Lord Inoue?" ”
The person who welcomed the envoy into Beijing yesterday was Xu Rulie, so the relationship between the envoy and her was not bad, plus Xu Rulie's personal enmity with Xiao Huai'an, so this sound particularly yin and yang.
"Heh, the third prince, you came just in time...... Inoue River is only middle-aged, but his body is a little bloated, he ran a few steps, and after saying these few words, he was out of breath.
