Chapter 50
"Okay, I'll believe you once." Lin Buregret is willing to give up the opportunity, anyway, it is not him who takes Ding Chen, and it will not be a grand gift.
After Sheng Li finished solving him, he went to the Chen family guards again: "Chunman, this time you will lead the team, you remember to be cautious and careful, but from time to time to show your feet and lure others to stop you at the city gate, it is best to seem to be restrained, but in fact, the movement is not small." ”
Chen Chunman was also full of confidence, and immediately grinned and promised: "Don't worry, big young master, the small one will take care of the balance and will definitely satisfy you." "In the end, the extent to which he has accomplished is also expected.
Successfully fished out Wu Dian, as well as the little guard who hid in the corner to probe his brain.
The group of people who pretended to be dancing girls had already arranged their observation directions, and when they got off the carriage, they did not take any rest at all, and they tried their best to remember the appearance and characteristics of the people who were inquiring in the shadows, and immediately began to record paintings when they returned to the carriage.
Lin Buregret saw their well-trained appearance, and couldn't help but be curious about the Chen family, the little guards could do this, I don't know how fierce those legendary big families' secret guards would be?!
Chen Xian will definitely not bring the most elite group of people to the surface.
Chen Chunman deliberately led a group of people to swagger through the city, pretending to go to the wrong intersection several times, and almost lured the people in the dark to the palace gate before stopping.
When the carriage walked slowly to the vicinity of Guan Zhengsi, Chen Chunman found Sheng Li hiding in the corner of the stone pier, and the eyes of the two faintly crossed together, and Sheng Li nodded at him.
It seems that the task has been completed, Ding Chen has been sent to the Criminal Prison Division by Chen Qi, Chen Chunman breathed a sigh of relief, and he can finally explain to the head of the family.
He quickly glanced around, and laughed loudly into the carriage: "Girls, you can come out, hahaha." ”
As soon as the words fell, the guards of the Chen family no longer pretended, and the rough male voices spread all over the street corners, and they did not forget to complain when they got out of the carriage.
"It's suffocating."
"No, don't pretend to be a next time." As soon as the speaker stood still, he raised his hand and dragged a handful of cold and hard steamed buns that were about to fall off his chest.
In order to pretend to be women, they contributed all the remaining dry food, which is really pitiful.
The only remaining spies in the dark looked at them in horror, and they couldn't believe that the group of dancing girls in front of them who were dressed in colorful clothes and had big trumpet flowers pinned to their heads turned out to be men, but they seemed to think that this was the right thing, and their hearts were a lot more comfortable.
They shook their heads with green faces, and quickly disappeared and returned home to report.
Chen Chunman and the others went to the inn first, and after changing their clothes, they followed Sheng Li to find Chen Xian and his party who entered first.
"Do you think that's what the emperor thinks?" Chen Xian has a house in the capital, and at this time he is sitting on the chair of the master in the study, and he is still holding the hot tea that has just been served, blowing slowly, and the thick smoke blocks his old and cloudy eyes.
Sheng Li sat down and bowed his head to explain: "Sun Er doesn't know, but Sun Er is sure that there must be someone from the emperor at the gate of the city, and the emperor knows the situation in the capital better. ”
"Heh," Chen Xian put down the teacup after hearing this, chuckled, looked around the room and ordered, "You go down first." ”
The guards of the Chen family have been carefully selected, they have followed Chen Xian for many years, and no one will leak half a word about their discussions, but they are just a group of big bosses, rather than staying here to listen to such an unfathomable thing as the situation in the imperial court, it is better to go back to the house and sleep for two more hours, one by one they run faster than rabbits, and the door is closed in the blink of an eye.
The room was quiet, and Sheng Li didn't dare to urge, he sat in his seat and waited quietly.
After a while, Chen Xian slowly spoke: "The old man thinks that the emperor already knows how many people are involved in this matter, and there is no need for you to do anything more." ”
“?” Sheng Lishu raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.
Chen Xian didn't care about his reaction, his fingers flicked with the books on the case, and continued: "There are quite a lot of officials who handle the gold sore medicine specially supplied by the military camp every year, and there are countless checkpoints to go through along the way, but the gold sore medicine that went wrong has arrived at the military camp smoothly, why is this?" Obviously, the emperor could review all the officials along the way, but he only arrested the military quartermaster on the surface, and then hid it, why? ”
"Let the quartermaster family become a sharp knife hanging over the heads of everyone in the shadows, you guessed it, but more importantly, I am afraid that the emperor has a tacit understanding of the offender."
"Grandpa, do you think the emperor knows very well who is the person who changed the gold sore medicine? So why not catch it? Be...... That person is important in the court? Domino effect? Sheng Li was even more confused after hearing this.
Chen Xian moved his eyes from the book to his face, hooked the corners of his lips and said, "It's not that you don't scratch, but you can't finish grabbing." In the current court, there are both the old departments of the former dynasty and the upstarts of the current dynasty, and the emperor established the Sansi Academy to recruit talents, and he wants to replace one or two important officials before it happens, but what if the officials involved in this matter deal with it, no one can top it? Isn't the whole court in chaos? ”
"Since he got older, the old man has become more and more inadequate, the emperor and the old man are the same age, why is he not like this? Now that the emperor has children and grandchildren eyeing him, and the three kingdoms are surrounded outside, if it is slightly improper, the country is afraid that it will be turbulent again. ”
The more Sheng Li listened, the more confused he became, and he asked, "Grandpa, do you mean that it is useless for Ding Chen to come back or not?" ”
"No, it's useful," Chen Xian said with interest, "He decided which wave of people to do first." ”
"Then I'll ......" Sheng Li found that he had made a mistake in his judgment, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Chen Xian pointed out a clear way for him: "You don't have to do anything, go back and rest, you don't have to rest if you want to rest tomorrow, anyway, as long as Ding Chen is sent in safely, the emperor will arrange it." ”
He thought for a while and then instructed: "You remember, when the emperor finishes watching the play, he will definitely find you to be tempted, just keep your original intention." "Ding Chen's case is not terrible, what really worries Chen Xian is the Sheng Li Face Sheng, which will also determine the life and death of the Chen family.
Chen Xian could only mention Sheng Li to this step, and he had to slowly discover the rest of the things, since Chen Fuyue didn't want to use the power of the Chen family to make arrangements for Sheng Li, it was not good for him to participate too much.
Except for the fact that Chen Fuyue sent him a letter to ask him for help in order to save Sheng Li some time ago, Chen Xian and her have not been in touch for ten years.
Chen Fuyue's house before her marriage was all set up by Chen Xian, and now there are maids and maids in the yard every day, maintaining the original appearance, Chen Xian has been looking forward to the day when Chen Fuyue can run out of the yard again, hang it around his neck, and call him Daddy.
"How has your mother been all these years?" Chen Xian could have used the Chen family's "guard" to hide in the Sheng family in order to protect Chen Fuyue at any time, but this was not a kind of surveillance.
Chen Fuyue's evasion of the Chen family was on the surface, and he didn't want her to be displeased, so for many years, Chen Xian only dared to send people to stay near the Sheng family all day long.
How she is doing, I'm afraid only Sheng Li knows.
The good or bad of his parents, such as people who drink water and know how warm they are, Sheng Li is not qualified to judge whether they are doing well or badly, he lowered his head and did not answer.
Chen Xian saw him like this, so he also guessed, his eyelids were slightly together, and his voice was old and dull: "I know, you go back to the inn, take good care of Miss Ji, don't come to me if you have nothing to do." ”
Today's Chen family is in crisis, and his two sons, one stupid and one stupid, are not the best candidates to inherit the family business, but the existence of the Chen family has always been the emperor's heart. Chen Xian is old, if he doesn't select people as soon as possible, I'm afraid the emperor will have to intervene.
This time, even if Sheng Bohong disagreed, Sheng Li was still selected into the escort team, and the emperor's purpose was obvious, if he did not keep his distance from Sheng Li, Chen Fuyue's years of hard work would eventually be ruined.
Chen Xian sat on the chair and looked away from Sheng Li, until the door of the study was creaked shut, he was like a boulder blocking his chest, and the breath that poked out was not smooth, stimulating his trachea and coughing up the sound.
Sheng Li heard the sound coming from the house, his footsteps paused, he stood at the door for a long time, and waited until the coughing sound died down, and then slowly moved to find the housekeeper.
"The old man is not in good health, he always has to cough at night, so prepare some soup for him to soothe his throat before going to bed."
The housekeeper here is also the son of the Chen family, and after marrying a wife, he was sent to the capital to manage the Chen family's property for many years. He has seen the eldest and second masters in the family fighting for the family property, and he has not known how to restrain the family's anger three times and twice.
He burst into tears, trembling and responding: "Hey, the old slave knows." ”
Although it was evening, there was no colorful glow outside, and the gray cumulus clouds illuminated the capital dimly, the housekeeper took out the paper umbrella that had been prepared, leaned over and said: "The sky is not good, the little master has an umbrella, don't get wet in the rain." He originally prepared a carriage, but was reprimanded by Chen Xian, saying that Sheng Li was young and strong, and he had to use a carriage to walk a few steps, and the descendants of the Chen family were not so squeamish.
God knows that the two masters of the Chen family are all first-class, the interior decoration of the carriage is luxurious, and the appearance is extremely luxurious.
But since Chen Xian said so, the housekeeper had no choice but to do so.
When the door of the Chen family's mansion was closed, Sheng Li stood on the street alone with an umbrella in his hand, and when he came, he was surrounded by a crowd and lonely when he left, and he chuckled before walking towards the inn.
There are few companions left who participated in the escort, Li Yu died, Ding Chen was also sent away, and now the ones waiting for him in the inn are Liu and Lin who have no regrets.
Halfway through, it suddenly rained in the sky, he hurriedly put up an umbrella, and the raindrops the size of beans wet most of his body with the evil wind, and when he arrived at the inn, the only thing to do was his head and hands.
"Your Excellency is back." As soon as he arrived nearby, he heard Ji Liu's shout from a distance, and there was a trace of joy in his voice.
As soon as Sheng Li entered the door and put away the paper umbrella, a dry cloth was taken down as a hood, Ji Liu took the paper umbrella, and looked at him with a worried look that couldn't stop it: "Wipe it quickly, don't get caught in the cold." ”
He smiled, and his cold heart instantly warmed: "How can I be so squeamish." As he spoke, he was still obedient and began to carefully wipe the exposed parts.
