Chapter 53: Doubts

"Miss Wei doesn't need to be polite."

He opened the folding fan with a smile, and said, "It's still thirty or forty miles away from Qingcheng, and Miss's sedan chair driver has already run away, and the carriage that happened to get off is not far away, if Miss Wei doesn't dislike it, can you go back to the city together?" ”

"In this way, Wei Shu thanked Mu Gongzi again." She said lightly.

So a few people walked towards the outside of the woods, and there were indeed one or two four-horse cars parked there not far away, and their luxury was comparable to that of the Hua family.

If it weren't for the man in front of her surnamed Mu, she would have wondered if he was the illegitimate son of the Hua family.

But come to think of it, in fact, illegitimate children don't have to be surnamed flowers...

got into the carriage, Mu Yusheng was very humble and polite and let the three girls' families sit in the car, and he sat outside with Xuan'an.

The carriage drove slowly, and it has to be said that the carriage of the four drivers was smoother than that of a single or double driver, and people would not feel bumpy at all when sitting in it.

Wei Shu looked at Rong'er and Meiniang with a shocked look on their faces and sighed.

I think that when she went to South Africa for the first time to carry out a mission, she was also very scared to see those bloody severed limbs and stumps, but without such an exaggeration as the two of them, she was still able to overcome the fear in her heart.

"How can the girl be outside the city today?"

Outside, Mu Yusheng said loudly.

Wei Shu didn't answer and asked, "Why did that boy happen to appear here again?" ”

It's not that she's suspicious, it's that she's used to guess what has happened with all the possibilities, and finally discern the most likely one!

At the very least, if she was a robber, she would rather sneak into the homes of wealthy Qingcheng families in the dead of night and loot them, or fortify them on the way to Jinshan Temple, a hundred miles northwest of Qingcheng.

After all, the pilgrims who go to the temple to offer incense are much richer than the pilgrims who come to the Taoist temple.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of Mu Yusheng's hearty laughter outside, "I didn't expect Miss Wei to be so suspicious, it really makes me sad, but I still have to defend myself, I really just passed by here!" ”

Wei Shu pursed his lips and said, "The little girl is not slandering the child, but don't the robbers today feel suspicious?" ”

The smile on Mu Yusheng's face was retracted, "Well, it's true, if you say it's for robbery, it's unlikely to be in that place, as for robbery, it's possible... It's a pity that Fang just missed for a while and didn't leave a living mouth, otherwise you can ask one or two who set the trap for Miss Wei. ”

Hearing this, Wei Shu faintly became angry, if he wasn't nosy, he would be able to stay alive.

was speechless for a while, and almost all the way to the next was Mu Yusheng looking for a topic, and she answered without a word.

It was still early when I returned to the county seat, but today I couldn't go to the shop.

Originally, the guards greeted them and said that the eldest lady would go to inspect the shop today.

As a result, the shopkeepers of the two shops were ready and waited for a long time and did not see the eldest lady coming, so they sent someone to the Wei Mansion for interrogation.

Later, I learned that the eldest lady went out early in the morning.

Immediately afterwards, the four palanquin drivers also ran back and reported the matter to the guards.

This time it exploded, the daughter was held hostage by the robbers, but the slave left the master and ran back alone.

The guards didn't even have time to get angry and wanted to go outside the city to save their daughter in person, but in the end they were stopped by their wives and subordinates, so they went to report to the official again.

But just as the government was about to send someone to leave, someone came to report that Miss Wei had returned.

And the one who sent her back was still a big man in Youzhou.

Youzhou Taishou Mu Shaoqian's son, Mu Yusheng.

Outside the gate of the Wei Mansion Mansion.

Wei Shu stood behind the guards and Mrs. Shen, looking at Mu Yusheng and Lord Chen, the county commander who came in a hurry, with a calm expression.

"Thank you Mu Gongzi for saving the little girl, the villain is grateful."

The guard was about to kneel down as he spoke, but was stopped by Mu Yusheng, "There is no need to be polite outside the guard, it's just a gesture." ”

"In fact, having said that, the public security of the lower officials is unfavorable, so that the robbers are so arrogant, and I ask the son to calm his anger."

Master Chen hurriedly said that although the young man in front of him was not very old, he did not have a substantive official title.

But his father is the biggest official in Youzhou, and if today's events let Mu Taishou know, he will not have his own good fruit to eat.

It was Lord Chen who had to flatter this young man a lot.

"Today, because the son rescued the little girl, he can return safely, but please don't blame Lord Chen when the son goes back, the adult is a parent official, and he does his best to do things for the people on weekdays, and he has done his best to work hard.

This time the incident was also unexpected, and those robbers were entrenched in the mountains outside the city for not a day or two, Lord Chen has only been in office for five years, so that Qingcheng has returned to prosperity, and there is no attack and labor, and I hope that the prince will understand. ”

Originally, it was not the turn of a woman from Wei Shu's family to stand up and speak on this occasion.

But today's matter, Lord Chen is to blame, if the above is deliberately embarrassed, then there is definitely no good fruit for Lord Chen to eat.

Of course, she said this for a purpose.

If Taishou really wanted to deal with Lord Chen for unfavorable crimes, he would never give up just because he asked Mu Yusheng for a few words.

But on the other hand, if Taishou didn't plan to deal with this matter in the first place, Lord Chen would more or less remember his own heart and have a better attitude towards the Wei family.

Sure enough, Lord Chen's expression moved when he heard this, wiped the corner of his forehead and glanced at Mu Yusheng, pursed his lips and said a word, waiting for the fate.

Mu Yusheng couldn't see any expression on his face, but only said after a while, "Miss Wei is also frightened today, let's go back first, I still have to discuss the robbers outside the city with Lord Chen." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Lord Chen, "Master Chen, let's go, let's go to your house!" ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Master Chen wiped his sweat again and hurriedly left after Mu Yusheng.

After the guards saw them leave, they also turned around and entered the house with their wives and daughters.

In the main hall, the guards sat solemnly on the main seat, and Mrs. Shen sat aside.

Wei Shu stopped straightening her waist and stood below, while kneeling at her feet were Rong'er and Meiniang.

"You're so bold that you even dare to lie to your father, didn't you say you were going to the shop? Why are you out of the city again, why did you go? ”

Mrs. Shen asked sharply, she didn't really care about Wei Shu, but disgusted that she had caused trouble for the family again.

"Okay, you be quiet, listen to what the child has to say first."

The guard took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "Shu'er, tell it yourself, what the hell is going on and who is she?" I don't remember that there was anyone else around you besides Rong'er.

"Back to Daddy, my daughter went to Qingyunguan outside the city to incense today, but that was also to pray to Tianzun that the business that my daughter took over would be smooth sailing."

Wei Shu said confidently, there is nothing wrong with this matter, and some people have to double the yellow calendar when they go out.

She is now going to take over the family's business, what's wrong with going to Shangzhuxiang?
