Chapter 239: Rush to the rear
After the events in the capital calmed down, the street returned to its former prosperity, and even at nightfall, there were still many people walking back and forth, hawking vendors.
Su Jingye and Jiang Liuyu rushed back to the city as if they were rushing, and both of them were anxious. Seeing him suddenly jump out of the carriage, Jiang Liuyu couldn't help but panic, "Why are you going?" ”
"It's very complicated behind this, and it's not like you're going to be able to intervene. After you go back, send someone to inform Shi Zhengcheng and ask him to go to Master Kong's mansion to discuss with us, you just need to stay quietly in the mansion with Mrs. Shi and pay attention to protecting yourself. ”
Although the pedal of the carriage was a little high, Su Jingye relied on his agility and jumped down with his palm on the pedal, he dared to do so in such a complicated situation on the street, fortunately he was not injured at all, and Jiang Liuyu's heart that hung for him only stopped in mid-air.
After landing lightly, Su Jingye gave such an order to the horseman, and at the same time slapped his palm on the horse's buttocks, giving Jiang Liuyu no room to regret it at all. "You send the princess back to the palace, especially pay attention to safety on the road."
Jiang Liuyu also knew that her ability was limited, and if she insisted on keeping up at this time, she might not be able to help, even if Su Jingye didn't do it, she wouldn't refuse. Even if there is indignation in my heart, in this special situation, I can only recognize the status quo and press down.
"Yes, drive!" The groom was an old man in the dead house, and he hurried to answer the next sound, and before he could finish his salutation, the two horses pulling the cart flew away as if they were flying forward, and the groom could only withdraw his attention and concentrate on the horse.
Jiang Liuyu was inevitably a little worried, sad and anxious, and had mixed feelings for a while, so she could only pick up the rear car curtain, and watched Su Jingye's figure shuttle between the crowd from a distance, and finally disappeared behind the corner.
On the road, he casually called a carriage to send it to the Confucian Mansion, Su Jingye didn't have enough silver on him, so he wanted to report his name and ask the coachman to go back to the palace to get it, the uncle who pulled the carriage was also a fool, he didn't recognize the mark of the Jingwang Mansion, so he had to ask for it.
The two of them quarreled at the gate of the Confucian Mansion, Su Jingye had no choice, and he didn't want to continue to waste time with him, so he could only temporarily take the jade pendant that he often wore on his waist as collateral, and the groom got the jade pendant and left satisfied.
Su Jingye suddenly felt extremely tired, cleaned up his mood, knocked on the door of the Confucian Mansion a few times, and opened the door without any slight. It turned out that he had been sitting at the door all the time, and he could hear everything that was happening outside the door.
"In that case, why can't you come out earlier to relieve the siege of this king, but you have to wait here quietly until now. Or it doesn't matter if you don't admit that you heard it, at least this king won't be so embarrassed in his heart. ”
Su Jingye lowered his head and faced Wuhao, but looking at the incomparably innocent expression on Wuhao's face, Su Jingye felt that what he said just now was useless.
"Our adults said that everything that has to do with silver allows us to hide as far as we can. There is no way today, the villain can only wait behind the door, and he can't hide anywhere else if he wants to. In this case, you can only close the door, how can you take the initiative to find the door? ”
Wuwei said it was particularly reasonable, as long as it was Kong Yu's words in his mind, it was a wise saying. The muscles on Su Jingye's face twitched twice unconsciously, and if you want to ask truthfully, Kong Yun's truth is not wrong.
"That's it, this king doesn't have the time to fight with you here anymore, go inside and inform Master Kong, just say that this king has something important to discuss with him."
Su Jingye closed his eyes and waved his hand, and was about to step through the door as he spoke, but he opened the door at an angle, and sat on the threshold leisurely, without any intention of moving.
"I'm sorry Lord Wang, we have an appointment today, and we went out early."
"Out? Then why didn't you just say it earlier? Su Jingye's eyes widened, looking incredulous. Wuhao raised his eyebrows and spread his hands, "It's just a small one, and I don't know who the prince is looking for this time." ”
"In addition to looking for your lord, is it possible for this king to come to you?" Su Jingye smiled bitterly and teased him, but saw that Wuhao tilted his head very seriously, "It's not impossible." ”
"Alas," Su Jingye sighed, he wanted to leave, but he made an agreement with Jiang Liuyu at that time, asking Shi Zheng to go to the Confucian Mansion to discuss, if he left now, he was afraid that he would miss it.
In desperation, Su Jingye was also the same as Wuhao, sitting on the high threshold of the Confucian Mansion without any image. Anyway, even after entering, with such a rare servant in the Confucian Mansion, I'm afraid few people can react to entertain them.
The Confucian Mansion borrowed the light of the former Bao Mansion. On the glorious day of Baofu, there are countless people who want to visit and pull relations, so they can be qualified to build such a high threshold, but this threshold has been left until now to become a good place for Su Jingye and Wuhao to sit under this gate.
"Do you know where your family went when they were invited?" Su Jingye propped his hands on his knees, and it took a lot of effort to press down his legs, which were constantly shaking because of anxiety.
"You know, it's the most famous drunken immortal building in the city. At that time, when we saw the name, we couldn't believe that someone had to go so hard to invite us adults to such an expensive banquet. ”
"If it weren't for the fear that I would embarrass the adults after I went with them, I would also like to see the world, but I also persuaded the adults to bring me some snacks back, and I think I can feast on it tonight."
Wu Hao said, and couldn't help licking his lower lip. Su Jingye slowly raised her chin, thoughtful.
It stands to reason that the most brilliant and eye-catching place will always have the most right and wrong, but this drunken immortal building has been open in the capital for many years, and has gradually been promoted to a first-class and well-known restaurant, but it is very fortunate that it has nothing to do with anyone.
Since the matter of Wushi San, the matter of Wushi San, Su Jingye followed the clues, and there were several inconspicuous clues, all pointing to the Drunken Immortal Tower, so he left a doubt in his heart.
Taking advantage of the time of the palace canonization ceremony a few days ago, Su Jingye sent someone to the Drunken Immortal Tower to inquire, and there were really some interesting discoveries.
And inviting Kong Yu to eat in the Drunken Immortal Mansion is also for this temptation, to test whether it is true and whether Li Wensong is involved.
Su Jingye looked up at the sky, and the sunset on the horizon had rendered a large area of colorful sunset. The sunset became more and more red and deep, and the sunset gradually fell into the arms of the western mountains, and it seemed that it was time for dinner.
It was just a moment's effort, Su Jingye was so anxious that he stood up and looked out several times, but he was disappointed.
Wu Hao beside him had already secretly run to the corner of the wall to tease the jumping insects at some point, and Su Jingye finally waited for Shi Zhengzhi before his patience was exhausted.
Shi Zhengzhi hurriedly got out of the car, and Su Jingye also greeted him enthusiastically, and the two almost collided head-on. With this big advantage, Shi Zhengzhi took the lead in stabilizing his body and grabbed Su Jingye's arms.
"What's going on? What did Master Kong say? Is this girl still alive? ”
It's no wonder why Shi Zhengcheng is so anxious, as early as two days ago, he heard Xiang Fanhua tell everything about the merchant and the Kong family, and the extraordinarily upright Shi Zhengcheng also felt deep regret for the affairs of these two people.
"I don't know, Master Kong is not in the house, I am afraid that I will miss the agreement with you, so I have been staying here, and now I can only rely on you and me to discuss it."
Su Jingye and Shi Zhengcheng have known each other for a long time, and the two often speak without etiquette, and they are commensurate with you and me casually. Su Jingye's mind was dizzy from his slap, and it took a lot of strength to finally react, and he was busy dragging him into the Confucian Mansion.
"But even if he's not in the house, you should send someone to inform him. No matter what kind of banquet it is outside, as long as it is not accompanied by His Majesty, how can it be better not to inform him of such a big matter? ”
Shi Zhengzhi followed Su Jingye's intention to enter the door, and kept nagging, and then closed the rivet door behind the two of them.
"If it's a normal place, do you know where it is? Drunken Immortal Building. Su Jingye said with a deep face, and Shi Zhengzhi also blocked all the words in his chest that wanted to overflow.
"It's just that in the place of Drunken Immortal Building, we all have to be careful, not to mention that there is still a matter of Miss Merchant's kidnapping, which has not yet been settled."
Wuhao closed the door at the back, and there were not many people passing by in the entire Confucian Mansion of Nuoda. The lawn garden, which is rarely tended, has grown a lot of weeds in just a month or so, densely extended, extending from the stone roadside, lining the surrounding environment to be more secluded.
Shi Zhengzhi and Su Jingye walked from the overgrown stone road to the backyard, feeling relieved that the surrounding area was so quiet, but also worried that the partition wall had ears.
"You said that Master Kong cares about Miss Merchant, and our family knows about it, but this matter is not a secret, as long as someone has a little investigation, it can be found out."
"But this kind of thing about other people's family affairs, ordinary people will not interfere at will, who do you think can be so concerned about the relationship between the merchant and the Kong family?"
Su Jingye explained to Shi Zhengcheng all the way, and he was also concerned about the situation around the world. Shi Zhengcheng had also heard of Su Jingye's investigation, so under his reminder, Shi Zhengcheng naturally thought of the same level.
"What's more, the Drunken Immortal Building is also that person's industry, these two collide in one place, do you think there is still a good candidate to invite Kong Yu out?"
"So do you think I'm going to go against the wind in such precipitous conditions, I'm afraid it's enough not to laugh at the man's big teeth. In addition, I believe that in the face of such a special situation, Master Kong should have his own solution in his heart, so let's not go over and make trouble. ”
