Chapter 237: The Merchant Traveler is taken captive
"That's right." Su Jingye looked over, seeing that Shang Shijing had been asleep for so long, he still hadn't woken up, and there was no one around to take care of him, if Xiao Shi was no longer there, he really couldn't do it, so he softened his attitude.
"I can turn a blind eye to Xiaoshi's matter, even if the old man Shang wakes up, this matter is reasonable. But as for the others, I think it's still necessary to try to get them back and get them punished as they deserve. ”
Xiao Shi was wringing out the towel at this time and helping Shang Shijing wipe her cheeks, when she suddenly heard Su Jingye say this, and the excited towel almost fell to the ground.
"Thank you for sparing my life, and thank you for the reinvention of the princess." Xiao Shi was moved, knelt directly on the ground, and kowtowed to the two through this bead curtain.
Jiang Liuyu was also very embarrassed by her sincere thanks, but she was a little helpless when she listened to her words. "The next time you get excited, don't mess around with idioms, it's too exaggerated for me."
"Yes, Xiaoshi knows." Xiao Shi said words of thanks, got up, and was busy boiling water to make tea for the two of them, and the quiet room suddenly became a lot more lively.
Su Jingye was thinking about the general process of this incident in his mind, and he also wanted to wait for Shang Shijing to wake up and provide some confessions. Jiang Liuyu didn't want to disturb him, so he took advantage of Xiaoshi's efforts to deliver tea.
"Little Shi, why did you make this room so dark?"
It's just that closing the doors and windows is not enough, Xiaoshi even put down the bamboo curtains behind the windows, so that this sunny room is also extraordinarily gloomy when the sun rises.
"I'm afraid that the robbers will come back, so I want to keep the room low-key so as not to attract their attention." Xiao Shi put down the teacup, and deliberately lightened her steps when she passed by Su Jingye's side.
"It's rare that I will go out for a few times to guard against special circumstances, so I will be frightened by the prince and princess who suddenly visited, and fortunately, you two want to change to that group, but I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed."
Jiang Liuyu chuckled twice, looking at this room facing the sun being arranged so darkly, I was afraid that it would not be possible to attract people's attention.
"Actually, I was scared too, and I wanted to go with them, but when I thought of Miss, I was embarrassed to step away." Xiao Shi experienced this fright, just like opening the conversation, and the words spoken were one after another.
Jiang Liuyu didn't get annoyed, just waited quietly for her to have anything else to say.
"At the beginning, a few thugs in the alley hit me with the idea, and it was the young lady who stepped forward and covered it for me. Now the target of this group of people is Miss, I have no way to stop it, and Miss was forced to take it away, leaving only the master lying on the ground alone. ”
"Later, when I followed others to grab the title deed, it suddenly occurred to me that no matter how incompetent I was, I shouldn't be so ungrateful. When I came back to my senses, I had already quietly placed the master in this room. ”
The more Xiao Shi spoke, the more sad she felt, Jiang Liuyu quietly pulled her to the seat next to her and sat down, Xiao Shi didn't notice it, and continued to talk to herself.
"Anyway, I'm also an orphan without a father and mother, and the best thing for me in this world is Miss, even if I was retaliated against by that group of people for protecting my lord, then I would have repaid Miss's kindness."
As she spoke, Xiao Shi couldn't help but shed tears. Jiang Liuyu looked very sympathetic, and stretched out his hand to rub it on her head. "Good boy, you are a good girl, now that you are fine, we will definitely find a way to get Shang Shanke back."
Here, Jiang Liuyu was busy comforting people, but Xiao Shi's words invisibly gave Su Jingye some hints.
No one does things for no reason, and this kidnapping case seems to have nothing to do with money, nor does it have anything to do with the enemy, let alone a desire to see it.
After all, there are many people in the world who are more beautiful than Shang Shanke, not to mention that the bandits near Yangcheng have already been quelled by the new science and technology champion Zhou Zhi.
If it has nothing to do with foreign objects, then it may simply come for her, and Shang Shanke must have played a very important role in the mastermind behind this.
Su Jingye woke up like a dream, stood up suddenly, and almost broke up the hot tea that Xiao Shi had just brewed on the table. Xiao Shi was very scared, even if she moved a little bit, she was too scared, so Jiang Liuyu had to protect her in the crook of her arm and comfort her.
"Ruyu, let's go quickly, I have a hunch that something big is going to happen." Su Jingye took Jiang Liuyu's hand, Jiang Liuyu gently pushed Xiaoshi away, and asked with her head held high.
"Did you think of something? Does it matter? ”
"Yes. And it's related to Master Kong. When the words landed, Jiang Liuyu looked at Su Jingye's determined eyes, and she began to become uncalm.
"Xiaoshi, you continue to stay here first, the group of people who came here before must not come back a second time. But to be on the safe side, we will still send a few people over to protect them secretly, as long as you see this emergency on me, you will know that it is our own people. ”
Jiang Liuyu commanded a few words according to Xiaoshi's shoulder, Xiaoshi didn't know why, she only knew how to nod and agree. After explaining, Jiang Liuyu hurriedly left with Su Jingye.
"As Xiao Shi said, the merchant does not have much friendship with the merchant, if it is an ordinary time, how can we not understand why Xiao Shi stayed at this time."
The carriage was rushing to the capital, but no matter how fast it was, it would be able to return to the capital before nightfall. Su Jingye sat in the bumpy carriage while explaining his guess to Jiang Liuyu.
Just as Xiaoshi stayed to repay his kindness, there must be a special reason for the abduction of Shangshanke. Ruyu, what do you think is the biggest influence on Miss Merchant? ”
Listening to Su Jingye's inquiry, Jiang Liuyu remembered the Kong Yu mentioned in the Tang family's old mansion just now, and suddenly had a feeling of being sudden. "It's a marriage contract with Master Kong."
"That's right," Su Jingye nodded in response, "I'm afraid that Shang Shanke is the best bargaining chip used to coerce Kong Yun." ”
Outside the capital, Su Jingye and they were still on their way back, but on this sunny afternoon, Kong Yu pinched a letter to make an appointment and came to the famous Drunken Immortal Tower in the city.
"Originally, this was the place where I wanted to invite adults for the first time, but I didn't want adults to have an appointment with other people earlier, so it's a pity to miss that time."
As soon as Kong Yu stepped into the door of the Drunken Immortal Building, a handsome young man led him to the private room on the third floor. And pushed the door open, in front of a table of sumptuous wine and food, sat Li Wensong, who was pouring himself a drink.
Xiao Si closed the door, Kong Yu quietly took a deep breath, hid the letter in his sleeve, and walked to Li Wensong very calmly and sat down.
"That's why Master Li invited me here today, just to satisfy my regrets last time?" Kong Yu sat down, Li Wensong handed over the wine jug in his hand, Kong Yu was not polite to him, and poured the wine directly into the bowl.
"If that's the case, Lord Li's revenge is really strong enough."
"This has been a hole in the outside for a long time, and it should be time to be tough, otherwise it is very easy to lose yourself in such a chaotic capital."
"Doesn't Master Kong feel the same way?" Li Wensong looked at Kong Yu with a pair of shrewd eyes as if he was drunk, and he was more indulgent than usual at this time.
"It varies from person to person, but I don't think I have any fashion appearance." Kong Yu did not intend to drink the wine after pouring it out, but insisted on pouring out all the wine in the entire jug, and the remaining half of the jug of wine went into Li Wensong's bowl.
"Is what Master Kong said true? Isn't it that you've hidden it, and you can't even tell when it's true or fake, right? The corners of Li Wensong's mouth twitched, and he looked obviously incredulous.
"Speaking of which, I'm curious, what do these words that Master Li sent me mean?" What Kong Yu was referring to was the contents of the letter he had pinched before he came over.
The paper reads, "Where the heart desires, the red bean grows forever." The thoughts of the heart are withered and crushed into dust. ”
Just looking at the handwriting, Kong Yu could recognize that it was Li Wensong's handwriting, but he couldn't admit it. Fortunately, Li Wensong didn't plan to pierce the window paper so quickly, and specially arranged for someone to come over to inform today's dinner.
In normal times, Kong Yu would only think that this sentence was a joke. And since Jiang Liuyu intervened in the affairs of Shang Shanke, it involved his feelings for many years, which made him have to be afraid of it.
"Master Kong asked this, I don't know if I brought that piece of paper?" Li Wensong suddenly sat up straight, and stroked the mustache on his chin.
"I threw it away a long time ago, but I felt a little curious, so I came to ask Master Li for advice." Kong Yu didn't look at him, he raised his chopsticks and kept stirring in the dish closest to him, pretending to be very calm.
Li Wensong smiled very proudly, "Master Kong really doesn't know what this means?" ”
"I don't know."
This is the expected answer, Li Wensong snorted coldly from the tip of his nose, and the words he said were extraordinarily cold.
"There is such a person, the person that Master Kong cares about the most, she is now living or dying, innocent or dirty, all of them have the difference between Master Kong's thoughts."
Hearing this, Kong Yoo's hand moved, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes that could not be concealed. "Master Li, what does this mean?"
"No matter how you and I say it, we are also important ministers of the imperial court, could it be that Lord Li still dares to do such a traitorous thing?" Kong Yu simply put down the chopsticks together, and quietly withdrew the emotions in his eyes.
"I don't know if the lower officials will be wrong Lord Li's intentions, but what Lord Li said just now is really a bit terrible, please pay attention to your words, don't misunderstand."
