Chapter 308: Controversy
After a few more days, everyone was found by Uncle Yu.
Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing took people to a relatively secret residence, and when they saw these old people, Shen Baiqing had a somewhat complicated mood for a while.
You must know that now these old people have lived half their lives in the Jin Kingdom, and they have no ability to stay in Kyoto in the Jin Country to continue to lurk, and it is impossible for them to bring the slightest news to the imperial court.
Rather than letting them stay in another country, it is better to think of a way to give them a choice.
In this way, Shen Baiqing looked at those people and said slowly.
"Now that we see you, we can rest assured, I have found a way out for everyone, as long as you want, you can leave at any time."
Hearing this, a flash of light flashed in the eyes of those old men, and I have to say that Shen Baiqing's words rekindled their hope.
They had been in Kyoto for so many years, and at first they were useful to the imperial court, but later they found themselves out of touch with the imperial court.
In particular, the Emperor Taishang abdicated to the new emperor, and they were not sent to Kyoto by the new emperor, so it was inevitable that they would be cut off from the imperial court's intelligence network in the days that followed.
Seeing that several old people were also hoping to find a way to leave Kyoto, Su Bowen on the side said.
"As long as you are willing, we have already thought of a way out for you, and we will prepare enough silver taels for you to leave Kyoto with your family and return to the imperial court, how about it?"
"Really?"
One of the old men didn't seem to believe the words of the Marquis and Mrs. Hou, although they had heard more or less about the deeds of the Marquis and Mrs. Hou in Kyoto.
It's one thing to just hear about it, it's another thing to meet people, and they have to think carefully before they can make a decision.
Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing naturally knew everyone's concerns, and Su Bowen said.
"We'll give you time to think about it, you think about it."
In this way, Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing went back to the courtyard where they lived.
In the inner room, seeing Su Bowen's solemn expression, Shen Baiqing persuaded.
"Husband, I'm worried, I'm afraid that those old men won't want to leave Kyoto?"
Now that they have established a new intelligence network in Kyoto, the existence of these old men is also a hidden danger, and if one day the matter is exposed, then the consequences will be unimaginable.
Hearing this, Su Bowen smiled bitterly.
"The choice has been given to them, how to choose is their business, and I can't always force them with a knife on my neck."
"Don't worry, husband, they are not stupid, they will agree if they want to."
Sure enough, early the next morning, Uncle Yu sent a message, saying that everyone agreed.
Su Bowen admired Shen Baiqing's ability to understand, and Shen Baiqing had no words about it.
Uncle Yu offered to stay and do things for Shen Baiqing, and when he learned of this, a trace of surprise flashed in Shen Baiqing's eyes.
"I'm curious, Uncle Yu, why do you want to stay, if you also leave Kyoto, you will have a good life in the future."
Uncle Yu naturally knew what Mrs. Hou meant, but Uncle Yu had his own plans.
"Madam, the old slave is alone now, even if he leaves, he is lonely, it is better to stay with Madame and do things for Madame. If Mrs. is willing, the old slave will definitely do a good job by Mrs. Hou's side. ”
Uncle Yu's words were very serious, and Shen Baiqing was moved when she saw this, so she said.
"Uncle Yu, your life in Kyoto is not easy, so how about staying in the shop in Kyoto and instructing these young people in the future?"
"Madam is like this, it's really a pain in the old slave, the old slave is old, it's still okay to watch the door or something, and the people next to him really don't dare to be proud."
Uncle Yu's attitude satisfied Shen Baiqing, in fact, there was no shortage of Uncle Yu's errands around Shen Baiqing, but Uncle Yu was inevitably a little lonely, Shen Baiqing was still thin and couldn't bear it, so he tried to find a way to stay with Uncle Yu.
Uncle Yu is a smart person, so he naturally sells Mrs. Hou's intentions directly, and he has a lot of admiration for Mrs. Hou in his heart.
In the following period, Shen Baiqing arranged for His Majesty's spies to be sent to Kyoto one after another to be concubines or maids in the family, and some were housekeepers, in short, this was a new spy hidden in Kyoto.
After Su Bowen arranged everything, he chatted with Shen Baiqing about this matter.
"I thought that this time Your Majesty would let us take full responsibility for this matter, but what I didn't expect was that Your Majesty actually sent a lot of secret agents, it seems that Your Majesty still doesn't trust you."
Hearing this, Shen Baiqing smiled, comforted Su Bowen, and said.
"My husband has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and I think I can understand the difficulty of His Majesty being in a high position, and now that Your Majesty has considered it thoroughly, you and I can also feel at ease."
Originally, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen didn't plan to get involved in this matter, if it weren't for His Majesty's insistence on asking them to do so, they wouldn't have to work hard.
was so comforted by his own wife, Su Bowen's mood eased a lot.
Thinking about it, it was originally His Majesty's intention for them to come to the Jin Kingdom this time, so they don't have to think too much about it, as long as they handle the matter arranged by His Majesty.
After more than a month, Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing arranged several shops in Kyoto, all kinds of things, the couple never came forward, only the ready-to-wear shop was their business on the surface.
It's just that all these expenses are still their money, and it is estimated that His Majesty has also made up his mind to let them bear more, so he will bear more.
On this day, Shen Baiqing came to the ready-to-wear store and saw a big girl making trouble in the store.
Shen Baiqing didn't rush over to deal with it, but asked He Qing.
"What's going on up front?"
Seeing that his wife asked, Shen Baiqing did not hide it at all, and said.
"There is a young lady who has a crush on the clothes, but she knows that our shop has sold the same one, so she clamored not to buy this dress, but she has already tried it on."
Knowing the general situation of the matter, Shen Baiqing sighed in her heart, it stands to reason that she really doesn't want to care about these things at all, but now Shen Baiqing is not good at it.
Just when Shen Baiqing came to the store to come forward to solve this matter, he was stunned to find that a young man was arguing with the young lady, and it was obvious that the young lady did not have the upper hand.
"You mean, shameless!"
"This young lady, you came to the ready-to-wear store to buy clothes, you have already worn such an expensive hair dress, is it possible that you plan to retire? As far as I know, there is no precedent for this shop. ”
"Do you know who our young lady is! You dare to offend our young lady, I think you are impatient! ”
The maid who accompanied Miss Qianjin was the first to be dissatisfied and argued with the young man, but the young lady stopped her maid and looked at the young man with a mocking face.
"I have recorded what Childe did today, and he will definitely make Childe pay the price one day."
"I'll wait."
The boy didn't look timid, as if it really didn't matter to him.
After the turmoil passed, Shen Baiqing came to the young man and spoke.
"Thank you."
