Chapter 126: Gu Maolu
The money-making plan is vigorous and urgent.
Early the next morning, Xu Rui took An Ge and came to the gate of Yuan's mansion with a big burden on his back, since he was convicted of the Changxingqiao case, the Yuan family moved several times, and has moved from the inner city where the nobles gather to an old mansion in the outer city.
The old mansion is dilapidated, the exterior wall is cracked, and the roof tiles are damaged, but the whole house is spotless, and the word "Yuan Mansion" hanging high on the main gate is vigorous and powerful, broken but not defeated.
This is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and although it is down, it still holds its proud head.
After asking Tiange to say goodbye yesterday, Xu Rui immediately began to inquire about the situation of the Yuan family, most of them were similar to the two princes, and Xu Rui was suddenly overjoyed.
In his opinion, the Yuan family is the inheritance of the Mo family in this world, and the existence of the Gongyi family, if it weren't for the conviction of Changxingqiao, he might not even look at himself.
However, Emperor Hongwei's "never use" made this family lose the road to the court from now on, and also gave Xu Rui the best opportunity.
Now with the addition of Wu Tong, a famous doctor in Beijing, the medical team has begun to take shape, and the two old guys are now learning modern medical knowledge while trying to make new drugs, and I believe that they will be able to gain something in the near future.
And once Xu Rui can win the Yuan family again, even if it is only a few core disciples, the industrial team will catch up, and with the knowledge in his head, it is impossible to say that it will immediately become popular.
"Squeak", the old door slowly opened, and a steward in his thirties walked out and bowed deeply to Xu Rui and An Ge.
"I wonder if your head would like to see me?"
Xu Rui asked.
The steward sighed, shook his head and said: "Thanks to Lord Xu for not giving up, I personally came to the door to ask for a meeting, the Yuan family is grateful, but the master is really shameless to see the world again, and I ask Lord Xu to forgive me." ”
Xu Rui had already guessed that he might be closed, and said with a faint smile: "If it is really shameless to see the world again, how can the word Yuan family on the gate be so bright?" The head of your family is only afraid that he is aggrieved and angry. ”
Hearing this, the steward was shocked, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes when he looked at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui didn't retreat at all, his eyes were like two sharp swords forced to look away, and the steward took a step back afterwards, retracted his gaze, and shook his head.
"It doesn't matter if you're shameless or complaining, the head of the house doesn't want to see guests, so Lord Xu should please go back."
Then he closed the door.
"Slow!"
Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "Don't you want to know the truth about the Changxingqiao case? ”
"Do you know the truth about the Changxingqiao case?"
The steward's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously blurted out exclaimed, and he realized that he had lost his manners before the words came out, and quickly shut up.
Xu Rui smiled faintly: "Tell your family master, I'm afraid that the only person in the world who knows the truth about the Changxingqiao case is the next person, I just wait for him to have half a pillar of incense, and when the time comes, I will immediately turn around and leave!" ”
"Lord Xu and slow ......"
The steward exclaimed, and when he saw that Xu Rui seemed to be smiling, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord Xu, wait a minute, the little one will return to the head of the family." ”
As soon as the words fell, he immediately bowed to Xu Rui, and then trotted all the way back to Yuan's house.
This time, in less than half a pillar of incense, the door of the Yuan family suddenly opened, and an old man about sixty years old with gray hair and a group of men gathered in front of the door.
Xu Rui saw that although the old man was old, he was angular and had an outstanding temperament, and a patched coarse linen dress could also wear a bit of grandeur, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
When he looked at the old man, the old man was also looking at him, although he had heard of the age of this saint statue, but seeing Xu Rui so young, a trace of shock flashed in the old man's eyes that could not be concealed.
Xu Rui respectfully saluted the old man, and asked unhurriedly, "I don't know, but the general is in person?" ”
The old man shook his head: "The old man Yuan Zixiong is a guilty person, and he can't afford to be a general." ”
Xu Rui said with a smile: "Gu boy knows, looking at the world, the Yuan family is really the top in creating a one, if you can't afford these three words, who can afford it?" ”
Hearing this, Yuan Zixiong stared at Xu Rui's eyes slightly, but he didn't refute.
"Little Brother Xu is really bold, no wonder the master praises you as a saint, there are many slackness, please don't be surprised, please come inside, let's go into the house and talk about it in detail."
Yuan Zixiong stepped out of the way, and the children of the Yuan family behind him immediately parted to both sides, revealing a passage.
Xu Rui smiled faintly, arched his hand towards Yuan Zixiong, and walked towards the Yuan family in the eyes of everyone.
The rules of the Yuan family are very big, as soon as they cross the inner hall, all the children dare not take one more step forward, and Xu Rui is not good at taking An Ge inside, so he has to let him wait outside with the children of the Yuan family, carry a big burden by himself, and follow Yuan Zixiong into the inner hall alone.
There is only one table and two chairs in the inner hall, and two cups of fragrant tea have already been placed on the table, although it is only a bowl of tea, but the number of etiquette should be no less.
The two sat down separately, Yuan Zixiong raised his hand to Xu Rui and invited him to drink tea, Xu Rui was not polite, took the teacup and poured it big, and when the teacup was put back on the table, Yuan Zixiong spoke.
"I just heard from my family that Little Brother Xu knows the truth about the Changxingqiao case?"
Yuan Zixiong got straight to the point, without the slightest politeness.
Xu Rui smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "I don't know what the Yuan family master thinks is the truth of the Changxingqiao case?" ”
Yuan Zixiong said expressionlessly: "My Yuan family's art industry is not proficient, which harms people's lives and humiliates the country. ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "No, why do I think the head of the Yuan family thinks that the Yuan family has carried the black pot for others?" ”
Yuan Zixiong sneered, noncommittal.
Xu Rui continued: "Does the head of the Yuan family think that those bureaucrats in the Ministry of Industry cut corners and filled their pockets, which would lead to the collapse of the bridge, and after the incident, the investigating officials and officials protected each other, avoided the important and light, and threw the Yuan family out to blame?" ”
Yuan Zixiong snorted coldly and said: "My Yuan family has been engaged in civil engineering for hundreds of years, and all the buildings are high-quality, and there has never been such an accident. ”
This statement is domineering, with its own pride, and the implication is that the collapse of Changxing Bridge is not at fault with the Yuan family.
Xu Rui said with a smile: "Master Yuan, not to mention that the saint pays so much attention to the Changxing Bridge, the officials of the Ministry of Industry do not dare to make a big splash even if they want to fill their pockets, and the boy knows that every application for the construction of the Changxing Bridge is inspected by the Yuan family one by one, how can such a tragedy happen?" ”
Yuan Zixiong gritted his teeth and said: "There are so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the Yuan family has always been decent, how can they be seen through one by one?" ”
Xu Rui shook his head and smiled: "Master Yuan, according to the boy, you have already gotten into the tip of the horns, and if you think about it like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to find the real reason for the collapse of the bridge for the rest of your life." ”
was taught a face-to-face lesson by a yellow-mouthed child who did not reach the crown, Yuan Zixiong was on fire even if he was well cultivated, but because of the truth of the Changxingqiao case, he could only hold back his anger and ask.
"In that case, I don't know what little brother Xu thinks?"
"Don't dare, I don't know if the head of the Yuan family has heard the resonance?"
Xu Rui laughed.
Yuan Zixiong frowned: "Resonance? What is it? ”
Xu Rui didn't speak, opened his baggage and took out two guqins, one of which had a small paper figure tied to a string with cotton thread.
"What does Little Brother Xu want to do?"
Yuan Zixiong was puzzled.
"The head of the Yuan family is optimistic."
Xu Rui put the piano with the paper figure on the table, and then walked out of the inner hall with another piano in his arms.
He walked more than a dozen steps away, and just when Yuan Zixiong was confused, Xu Rui suddenly lifted the guqin and plucked it vigorously with his fingers on a string.
"When ......"
A sharp sound came, and Yuan Zixiong frowned, but in the next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he stood on the spot.
"How could it be ......?"
Yuan Zixiong stared at the guqin on the table and muttered to himself in dismay.
Just when Xu Rui plucked the strings outside the inner hall, the little paper figure tied to the strings turned out to be windless and automatic!
What surprised him even more was that when he looked closely, he could see that there was no trace of trembling on the entire piano, except for the string that tied the paper figure.
"Can the Yuan family master see clearly?"
Xu Rui hugged the qin and returned to the inner hall with a smile, Yuan Zixiong suddenly turned around and asked, "What kind of mechanism did you add to this qin?!" ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "It's just resonance, if necessary, ask the Yuan family master to change two pianos, the kid dares to pack tickets, and the same phenomenon will still happen." ”
"Resonance!"
Yuan Zixiong's pupils shrank, as if he had grasped some key.
