Chapter 133: The Man Behind the Scenes
Shen Junchen said coldly: "You said a total of three people, but you only said that you didn't know two of them, so who is the other person you know?"
The old bustard said, "It's from Jinfeng Hall, I saw that girl in Jinfeng Hall."
Shen Junchen's eyes shone slightly: "Give you half an hour to call that girl, don't cheat me, otherwise I can find you out and pull out the skin after digging three feet into the ground."
If he could find a scapegoat, the bustard couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly got up from the ground, but he knelt for too long, and his knees were numb.
She got up, rubbed her knees in her chair, and limped out of the room.
In less than half an hour, the old bustard came in with a woman in green, Shen Junchen knew her, and she was Liu Shiyun's maid.
When the maid entered the house, she saw a masked man sitting there, and she bowed respectfully, "I have seen the child."
"Who asked you to bring the fruit yesterday?" Shen Junchen asked, his tone calm and unwavering.
"My master asked me to send it, is your friend still satisfied?" The maid asked.
Obviously, this maid thought that Shen Junchen was a friend of the man in this room yesterday, and he didn't know how the old bustard tricked this maid, Shen Junchen glanced at the old bustard, and the old bustard lowered his head weakly,
Shen Junchen said, "Satisfied, then why did your master send you a jar of fruit brew?"
The maid said, "It was the young lady who heard that Childe's friend wanted to take Miss Zhao out of here, but Miss Zhao was forced to marry the nephew of the Holy Maiden, so Miss wanted to help Childe's friend."
Shen Junchen naturally didn't believe this, although he hadn't seen Liu Shiyun a few times, he knew very well what she was when he met for the first time, she spoke harshly, was extremely jealous, and was arrogant.
Shen Junchen's tone was calm: "Who did your young lady listen to?"
The maid thought for a while: "It's the nephew of the saint, yesterday, the young lady was in a bad mood, and she came here to drink and listen to the play, and happened to hear Li Gongzi talking with a woman, we only heard Li Gongzi say that Miss Zhao likes Shen Junchen, so my master said that since the two of them love each other, she will help them."
So Liu Shiyun thought that the man in Li Xiaoran and the woman's mouth was Shen Junchen, and they were mistaken.
Li Xiaoran just reminded Fanhua that the person Zhao Qianqian liked was Shen Junchen, and Liu Shiyun and this maid heard the latter sentence.
Liu Shiyun was worried that the young master would marry her to Shen Jun, she didn't want to marry her, Li Xiaoran and their arrangement just solved her urgent need, she was worried that it would not work, so she added a fire.
Until now, Liu Shiyun thought that it was Shen Junchen who was with Zhao Qianqian last night, while Li Xiaoran thought it was Bai Ziheng.
Shen Junchen took out a gold ingot from his arms and played with it in his hand, and the maid stared at the gold ingot in his hand with bright eyes.
She turned her head and glanced at the bustard gratefully, who smiled at her, but laughed more ugly than crying.
Shen Junchen looked at the maid: "That's all you hear?"
The maid's eyes were full of gold ingots, and she secretly thought: This person is really nervous, thank you for asking the ins and outs of the matter.
The maid thought back to what they had heard yesterday.
Their original words were like this, and Li Xiaoran said, "Since you have booked a room, then I will order some food, and you can see them leave tomorrow." ap.
The woman's voice said, "Miss Zhao can't drink, and she won't drink when she drinks."
Li Xiaoran said, "I know how to do it."
Shen Junchen listened and nodded: "Well, very good, then do you know who the person talking to Li Zi is?"
The maid said, "I don't know, I haven't seen it, it's a woman in black, she looks quite delicate, but she keeps her face straight, as if someone owes her something."
Shen Junchen raised the silver in his hand: "You go and call Li Gongzi here, this is yours, but you can't let others know, the time must be fast, I still have something to do."
"Alas, don't worry, I won't let others know, I'll go and call Li Gongzi."
The maid only said yes, the more people who know it, it is not good for Miss Zhao's reputation, this son is very thoughtful. Calling Li Gongzi must also be for feelings
Thank him, maybe when the time comes, Li Gongzi will be happy and reward her with some silver, and she will be able to fly away.
She happily walked past the bustard and did not forget to salute the bustard.
After the maid left, the old bustard asked, "Now that I have found someone, can I go?"
Shen Junchen looked at her steadily, didn't speak, but her aura was very scary, she shrunk her neck, and didn't dare to leave after all.
About a quarter of an hour later, the maid took Li Xiaoran into the house.
Li Xiao pointed to the masked man on his face, and turned his head to look at the green-clothed maid: "He is the person you said you want to thank me?"
The green-clothed maid nodded, "Yes."
Shen Junchen said lightly, "Close the door."
The old bustard hurriedly turned around and closed the door, she wanted to end the matter as soon as possible and send away the evil in front of her.
Shen Junchen looked at Li Xiaoran and asked, "Who booked the room yesterday?"
Li Xiaoran smiled flatteringly: "Hehe, the room was booked by a woman named Fanhua, but she just booked the room, if it is to be said that it will be done, it is still the food I ordered to fuel the fire for the two of them."
Shen Junchen's eyes froze without a trace, there are really a lot of people behind the scenes, very good, he will ask for them back one by one, so that they can also get what they want.
Shen Junchen played with the gold ingots in his hand and said lazily: "Oh, so you have the greatest credit, let's hear it, and I will reward you for your merits."
As soon as she heard that it was a reward for meritorious deeds, the green-clothed maid couldn't hide her excitement on her face, she had been with her master for seven or eight years, and she hadn't even gotten the silver, let alone the gold ingots.
After the master bought her back, he thought she was not smart enough, and sent her a few hundred copper coins every month, and if she was not satisfied with her work, she had to deduct dozens of yuan, and even the family had to come to loot a few hundred yuan a month.
Now that she has left the Imperial City, her family can't find her, but the money in her pocket is cleaner than her face.
I didn't expect to get gold ingots by sending a pot of fruit brew, which she couldn't earn in her life.
The maid secretly thought: After getting the gold ingots for a while, she will sneak away and find someone to marry a man, which is better than following the irascible master for the rest of her life.
Li Xiaoran took a small step forward, and leaned forward slightly with his upper body: "I asked people to add a little ...... to the dish Women, you know, don't always take the initiative, but with that thing it's different, it's more active than men."
"No, it's obviously the wine we sent, why did it become your dish?"
The green-clothed maid fought hard and tried her best to grab the credit, if it was their dishes, then she would run away in vain, she couldn't get a penny, she had to fight for it.
Li Xiaoran glanced at her and said disdainfully: "Miss Zhao doesn't drink, and she won't drink if you send wine, so why is it the credit for your wine."
This was said by Fanhua, to imply to them that wine was useless to her, and she couldn't even touch it, so she couldn't start with wine.
The green-clothed maid realized that she had made a mistake, and hurriedly corrected it: "The fruit brew we sent, I heard you talking to the man at that time, Miss Zhao doesn't drink, so Miss asked me to come here and buy a jar of fruit brew back, and Miss put the medicine herself, and I gave Xiao Er 100 Wen when I sent it, Xiao Er watched them drink it and came out to tell me that I could leave."
is still very cautious, afraid that they didn't eat, in fact, they didn't eat, last night when Shen Junchen entered the house, he didn't even move the chopsticks.
Although I didn't eat vegetables, I only drank two glasses of wine and became drowsy and hot, which is indeed the effect of fruit brewing.
Li Xiaoran refused: "You eavesdrop on us, and you dare to rob me of my credit, don't think that your master is the master of incense, I am afraid of you."
The maid did not show weakness: "Your aunt is polite and polite when she sees our young lady, what do you dare to do to us?"
The two were fighting, and the bustard had already learned the methods of the masked man in front of him, and he was still in pain all over his body at this time.
She looked at the two of them speechlessly, shook her head helplessly, and secretly thought: The two fools are still vying for "credit", and a catastrophe is coming.
Shen Junchen looked at Li Xiaoran: "How do you know Fanhua?"
Li Xiaoran didn't mention that he knew Hanzhou City, after all, it was too embarrassing.
He thought for a moment:
"Yesterday when I came out of Jinfeng Hall, I followed Zhao Qianqian, and saw him and Shen Junchen and another man, sitting together eating noodles, and a man in black in the corner of the wall not far away kept staring at them, and after they left, the woman went to find the man, I heard her conversation with the man, and then I followed her here."
Li Xiaoran just didn't want to marry Zhao Qianqian, when he heard Fanhua's plan, he was so excited that he participated in the matter, he was worried that Fanhua would mess things up, he was an old man in this regard.
Therefore, when Fanhua booked a room, he took the initiative to bear the cost of eating, and even the dishes were ordered by him personally, and when the food was served yesterday afternoon, he personally ordered the medicine.
The maid crossed her hands on her hips and straightened her chest: "No, the dishes on the table didn't move when we came to watch, they didn't eat your dishes at all, it must be the effect of our fruit brewing."
Li Xiaoran was not to be outdone, he also crossed his hands on his hips: "I have also come to see, they all left, the dishes were overturned, how do you know that they didn't eat the vegetables."
The two groups of people who dared to love came to see if it was done, but the old bustard didn't say anything about it, Shen Jun Shen looked at the old bustard, his eyes shone slightly, and the old bustard's head hung down to his chest.
They reached a consensus for different purposes, and for their own interests, they quarreled, and the old bustard looked at the two like fools, but she didn't dare to speak.
Shen Junchen said lightly: "Don't quarrel, there is only one gold ingots I brought today, no matter who I give it to, the other one has an opinion, five days later, in the morning, you come here to appreciate it, and I will add one to each of you when the time comes."
The two glanced at each other and felt that this was a good deal, only one gold ingots would become two in five days, and people had made a special trip to thank them, Bai Ziheng was a businessman, and there was definitely no shortage of gold and silver.
The two people who quarreled a lot reconciled again at this time, and both of them thought that this idea was good, and this person was not short of silver anyway.
The bustard's heart that was just about to let go was hanging again, and she didn't want to suffer from flesh and skin in five days, but she didn't dare to make a sound, the person in front of her, no, he was not a human at all, he was more terrible than a ghost.
Li Xiaoran said, "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
The green-clothed maid and the old bustard also left.
"Wait." Shen Junchen stopped the three of them.
The three of them turned to look at him in unison, the old bustard was terrified, and Li Xiaoran and the green-clothed maid were full of laughter.
Shen Junchen said lightly: "This matter is related to the names of two people, I don't want anyone other than the four of us here to know, otherwise ......
He squinted, picked up a teacup on the table and smashed it, and said coldly, "Don't blame me for turning my face."
Li Xiaoran said, "Yes, yes, don't worry, it's absolutely confidential."
"Yes, absolutely no secrecy." The green-clothed maid agreed, in fact, she was waiting for Shen Junchen's words, if she didn't say this, she was still worried that her master would know about it, so she wouldn't be able to get the gold ingot.
Shen Junchen continued, "In order to prevent leakage of rumors, don't meet a few of you."
"Yes." The three of them left the room.
On the construction site, Leng Yu was directing everyone to check the subtle cracks everywhere, but any cracks were patched with glutinous rice mortar.
Suddenly, seeing a blue light appear in the sky, his face changed, and he identified the location of the blue light, it was the South Courtyard, and he quickly left the construction site.
