Chapter Ninety-Three: If You Want to Leave, You Will Stay
Before he sat down in his room, he took out a copy of the decree from his sleeve.
Compared with Master Wu Qi, he had to get it half a day earlier.
Master Wu Qi was able to get the content of the holy decree because of his status as a family, and he only needed to spend a little money to get it.
This Songzhou is already an empty shelf with a leak.
He threw the copied holy decree into the brazier and burned it, thinking about the person who sent the holy decree, Han Xu, although he was a little surprised, but he was not surprised.
Mrs. Chu sent him a letter saying that she would let people surround Song Zhou, and would not let the people of the Wu clan make any moves.
I didn't expect it to be Han Xu who said it, this is very good, and if there is any action next, no one will suspect Mrs. Chu and Wududu.
What surprised him was that the person who led the troops for Han Xu turned out to be a young general in Henan Province, I don't know if Han Xu can control it, is it reliable.....
When he was distracted, someone slipped in like a fish.
This is a man in his thirties, dressed like an uncle, but his description is a little thin.
"Mr. Yu, I inquired about a big news." He said in a low voice, "That Imperial Court Lord Han is not bringing soldiers and horses from Henan Province, and those soldiers and horses are not sent by the envoys of Henan Province, that young general is from Jiannan Province." ”
I was surprised: "I know that Lord Han is in charge of Jiannan Dao, but the soldiers of this little general are really the soldiers and horses of Henan Dao, and I recognize the military flag." ”
The man waved his hand, looking a little proud: "No, no, although this person has indeed been leading troops in Henan Province, he is actually a person from Jiannan Province." ”
Tell me the origin of the inquiry.
Still shocked, he muttered, "Admire." ”
Who does he admire, this young player? This young general is indeed very powerful, he can pretend to be a grandson in front of the Henan Dao Jiedu to betray the ancestor, and touch a bigger backer Han Xu immediately declared that he was from Jiannan Dao.
The person who came nodded: "It's really amazing." ”
In this troubled world, only this kind of shameless person can live a prosperous and powerful life.
He smiled and said, "I mean, the Nineteenth Master is powerful, and he is worthy of being the descendant of the Wu family." ”
The man said: "What kind of lineage am I, our team can't even rely on the edge of ten rooms now." ”
Wei said: "The bloodline is smart and not based on the house, it's all the same bloodline, I said it a long time ago, the nineteenth master, don't be arrogant, you just don't have the opportunity to do things, you see, you just entered the government as a little scribe, but you heard the news that no one else knows." ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where Master Wu Qi and the others were, and lowered his voice.
"They don't know."
It's always a pleasure to be praised by others, Wu Jiu touched his head and said, "This is not your kindness, Mr. Yu, without the money you gave me, how could I get the position of a scrivener, how much to eat, and to make a decent living." ”
After patting him, he smiled, and said: "This shows that I have a good vision, and the Nineteenth Master should not be humble anymore, I will want your help in the future." ”
Praising himself is also praising him, this kind of praise is really frank, Wu Jiu smiled, more at ease, love for no reason in this world is fake, there is a picture is true.
But.
He sneered: "Thank you Mr. Yu for looking at it, my news is useless, the old man of the tenth room knows who the adult is and what is going on with the holy decree in his hand, it is enough." ”
It doesn't matter who Han Xu's soldiers are.
Wei shook his head: "Wrong, what kind of person this little soldier is is very important, if the soldier driven by Han Xu is from Henan Province, then Han Xu is under the control of Henan Province, and he doesn't need to care about him, but if Han Xu leads the troops and is not controlled by Henan Province, then this person is menacing and cannot be underestimated." ”
Wu Jiu was suddenly taught: "I see." ”
He patted him on the shoulder: "The Nineteenth Master knows this situation now, after I leave, you have to pay more attention to the movements of the government, it is related to your Wu family." ”
He can even have something to do with the affairs of the family, Wu Jiu couldn't help but be restless, he must seize this opportunity, so that he can enter the eyes of the ten rooms, and even earn a place in the Wu clan.
"Mr. Yu, don't worry, I'll help you watch the affairs at home, and I can't let you do things in front of you, and you will be cheated in the back." He said solemnly, "Although I, Wu Nineteen, have no money and no status, I also have a reputation. ”
I shook his hand and thanked him: "It's not that I don't believe in Master Wuqi, it's true that people's hearts are as changeable as the world now, and I'm going to do the dangerous thing of touching Wu Ya'er and Tiger Whiskers, so I bother you to pay more attention to me." ”
Wu Nineteen has never been entrusted in his life, not to mention that the stakes are still high, if he fails to succeed, he Wu Nineteen can be regarded as a contribution to this matter, and the clan must share a credit for him!
He squeezed his hand hard: "Mr. Yu, there is no need to say these words, this is your business and ours." ”
I shook my hand again when I wanted something.
"Mr. Yu, when I learned that you were leaving, I and a few people who had been taken care of by you wanted to see you off."
Wei smiled and waved his hand: "Don't say take care of it, I didn't do anything." ”
Despite this, the banquet was quietly organized.
"Mr. Yu, if it weren't for you, my wife and son would have died of illness." A man pulled the sleeve of his unfinished shirt, and after a few glasses of water and wine, he blushed and thanked him with a thick neck.
I didn't drink much, and my fair face was only covered with a light color, and said, "Without me, the clan will also treat you and get medicine, don't say that." ”
The man snorted: "The pharmacy in the clan is controlled by those black-hearted people, and the medicine given to us by Bai is either bad or useless, eat this, eat it for a lifetime, and if you want to eat good, you have to spend a lot of money to buy it." ”
He said here to wipe away tears.
"Mr. Yu, the money you gave me allowed me to buy enough good medicine for my wife and son to recover."
When a family is big, there are always corners that can't be scrubbed and cleaned, a family is like a city, just like there are rich and poor people in the city, there is a smell of wine and meat in the door, and there are frozen bones on the side of the road, the real wealth of the Wu family is in the hands of the city lord, and the long house and the rest of the nine rooms constitute the thick branches and trunks of the big tree of the Wu family, and many people in the city are just the branches and leaves on it.
The identity of the outside world is the old man who took refuge in the seventh master of Wuqi, there are too many people who come to defect to the Wu family in the troubled times, and no one cares about them scattered in the city.
Hearing this person's thanks, seven or eight people present also thanked one after another, all of whom had received unpaid gifts.
Wei smiled and stopped them, and said: "You are wrong, my money is also given by the Wu clan, you want to thank it, and you have to thank the clan." ”
Everyone was stunned.
They all thought that this eunuch was rich.
Why is there money in the clan?
So how can they boast?
Wu Jiu kept his mouth tightly closed on the side, it was because the clan wanted him to do a big thing.
Of course, this is not a secret that everyone can know, he heard it from a familiar old man in the tenth room, asked the future, and did not admit it, and then convinced that he knew, so he admitted that he let him keep it secret.
Of course, he will not tell anyone about such important things, except for his own people, of course, the fewer people who know about good things, the better.
Wu Jiu took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, you are too polite, there are many people who have received gifts from the clan, but you are the only one who has taken it out to everyone." ”
Yes, yes, everyone came back to their senses and thanked and praised and toasted again.
Without one person, it is difficult to defeat so many people, so I can only accept praise and drink.
The small interior lights flickered, and the glasses of wine were staggered, and low laughter was heard from time to time.
......
......
The city is also a family house, and the owners can detect the wind and grass in the house, and they don't travel around the city to help people, as well as the send-off banquet that these people give him, Master Wu Qi knows.
"It's money from the clan." A nephew said, relaying the words at the banquet that night, "I didn't say that it was my own money and took credit for myself." ”
Master Wu Qi smiled indifferently: "If he wants to win merit and win people's hearts, he will do whatever he wants, anyway, it is the hearts of our Wu family, no matter how you win him, he will not be surnamed Wu." ”
The nephew pouted and said, "He just doesn't believe us, and he is always afraid that we will trap him." ”
"It's normal for eunuchs to be suspicious." Master Wu Qi said, "Let him go, we don't doubt him, and be frank." ”
The nephew responded, thinking of something and sneering: "What is it that attracts people's hearts, Seventh Uncle, do you know what those people say in private?" said that he was a eunuch with no roots, and it was useless to keep the money, so he became a boy with money. ”
Master Wu Qi smiled, shook his head, and waved his hand: "Don't be disrespectful to him, whether this matter can be done or not depends on him to go to the emperor." ”
The nephew responded: "The money that should be given to him is not missing." ”
Eunuchs have no roots, love money, as long as the money is enough, it is the most sincere cooperation between the two sides.
Master Wu Qi stroked his shirt and got up and stopped paying attention to these trivial matters: "I will accompany the second uncle to meet with the imperial court lord in a while, you are optimistic about your family, don't walk around these days and don't mess around." ”
The nephew responded: "Seventh uncle, we know." ”
Master Wu Qi walked out, thought of something and stopped: "That didn't win people's hearts, he didn't go around talking about what we asked him to do, right?" ”
The nephew shook his head: "This is really not, his mouth is still very strict, and he never asks about this matter, even if someone speculates and asks, he either doesn't answer or changes the topic." ”
Master Wu Qi nodded with relief, and walked out of the inner room, and the maids standing outside stepped forward to dress him and tie up and change his boots for going out, and the servants outside walked around to prepare cars and horses to send him off.....
Before he went out from the back of Master Wu Qi's mansion, there was a very simple carriage at the door, with only a small burden on it, just like when he came, it seemed to walk out silently, but in fact, many eyes followed everywhere he passed.
Not long after the carriage drove out of Shangwu City, someone caught up with him.
"Mr. Yu, why are you leaving?" The man called, "I didn't send one in this hurry." ”
Before lifting the curtain, he thought he had never forgotten it, but the person in front of him really didn't have any impression, he smiled and arched his hand: "You're polite, you don't need to send it." ”
The man climbed into the car unceremoniously, and a servant who followed behind him handed it over with a wooden box.
"Mr. Yu, I don't have anything to give." He opened the wooden box in the car, took out a set of tea sets, a small stove, and so on, "I'll cook tea for my husband, and see him off with tea instead of wine." ”
He didn't excuse himself again, and said with a smile: "This is really elegant, thank you a lot." ”
Accompanied the man to drink three sips of tea, and before he knew the name of this master, he said, "Master, if you have anything to do, just ask." ”
He took out a money bag from his baggage.....
"Don't be too little, I have these with me."
The old man stretched out his hand and held it: "Mr. Yu, I'm not here for money. ”
He looked outside, and by this time they had stopped on the side of the road, and the coachman had gone away, leaving only his attendants outside.
"I have something to remind Mr. Yu." He lowered his voice and said, "There is a small thing you must know about this thing you are doing. ”
He coughed lightly: "I don't have anything to do, I just go home....."
"Mr. Yu, you don't have to hide it from me, I already know." The old man laughed in a low voice and said, "Although I am not from the tenth room, my wife's family has in-laws with the ninth room, and I have already inquired." ”
Before he finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, yes, although he didn't say anything, but the more he didn't say it, the more curious it became, there was money, or the money given by the clan, why did the clan give him an outsider, a eunuch money?
Everyone in the world is curious, and this home and this city are too big, how can there be impermeable walls.
Moreover, this Shangwu City, the same clan and clan are lush and intertwined, everyone has their own people, and their own people also have their own people......
Where can the secret be kept.
"You'll know when you know." Before he finished, he poured him tea, "Don't worry, I will do this well." ”
The old man didn't care about drinking tea: "I know, I just want my husband to do this well, and I want to tell you a secret." ”
Secrets, secrets are like this, everyone thinks they do secrets, but in fact, there is no secret in this world that can be hidden, before putting down the teaglass, he wandered in the Wu clan, not to win people's hearts, but to dig up secrets.
Use the greedy desires of the Wu clansmen to dig themselves.
Everyone sees the benefits, everyone wants the benefits, but there are only so many benefits, and if you want it, you have to let others not want it.
Straightened his back, and the moment had finally arrived.
"What did you say?" He waved his hand, "Don't tell me about your family." ”
The old man was in a hurry and grabbed his hand.
"It's a very important thing, and if you don't know, you can't do it." He whispered, close to his ear, "When the eldest lady met a thief, in fact, someone in the ninth room already knew about it and participated in it." ”
