Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Situ Xi saw clearly the appearance of the person blocking the road.

This is a young scholar in white, with clear eyebrows and a headband tied around his head.

Situ Xi had no impression of this person at all, and when the scholar saw Situ Xi in the carriage, he respectfully bowed to him.

"What?" Seeing him saluting himself, Situ Xi knew that this person had come to find him.

The scholar took two steps closer to the carriage, but was grabbed by the seven strings.

"Nine Kings, can you let the villain come closer and talk?"

"Something to talk about."

"Nine kings, my lord wants to ask if you are free today, he wants to invite you to talk, oh, my lord is Hubu Shangshu Xu You."

"Xu You?"

I thought it was some suspicious person, but it turned out that Xu Yilin's father was here.

Situ Xi was not very surprised that Xu You wanted to see him, he had long expected that the Xu family would come to the door for the document in his hand.

And Lao Zhangtou was a little nervous, Xu Yilin's incident happened in his store, and he was afraid that this would be the head of the household department Shangshu would make trouble for him.

"The master is waiting for you in the teahouse not far away." The scholar pointed to a three-story teahouse on the side of the road ahead.

"Old Zhangtou, aren't you in a hurry about the affairs of Jade Wine House?"

"Childe, there's actually nothing important here, it's just that Brother Fan and Lao Zhuo want to pull you over to take a look, you better deal with business first, Lao Zhuo will go to the restaurant to wait for you first."

"Done." Situ Xi nodded, Xu You is also an elder no matter how he says it, and he still comes here in person when he is old, and it is a little unreasonable to not go by himself.

"Dare to ask this shopkeeper of the sake restaurant?" At this time, the white-clothed scholar stopped the old man who was about to get out of the car.

"Yes...... Precisely. Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned, but he didn't expect this scholar to recognize him.

"It's a coincidence, if you can, please go with the two of you."

……

In the teahouse, the scholar took Situ Xi and the others into a private room, and after confirming that there was no one else in the room, Qixian withdrew to the door of the wing room and waited with the scholar.

After entering the room, Situ Xi saw Xu You, who was sitting at the square table drinking tea.

Simplicity, this is Situ Xi's first impression of him.

He was dressed in simple clothes at the moment, and there was only a pot of tea and a few cups on a large table in front of him.

Seeing the two come in, Xu You didn't greet the two to sit down, nor did he greet Situ Xi first, he fell on the shopkeeper Zhang first.

"Your surname is Zhang, right?"

"Back to Lord Xu, the villain's name is Zhang Shu." The old man bent over and didn't dare to look up.

"You should have a rough idea of what the old man wants to do when he invites you, the dog has caused you a lot of trouble before, the old man is here to say sorry to you, and I hope you don't hold a grudge against him, he was also framed."

Although it is an apology, Xu You's casual attitude is really insincere.

"Lord Xu, the matter has passed, and the villain has not lost much."

"It's good that you think like that...... I heard that last time, there was a document scroll that my son had pressed his handprint and finally handed it to you, I wonder if the shopkeeper is willing to hand it over to the old man? ”

"This ...... I'm really sorry, but the scroll is no longer in the hands of the villain......"

"The old man knows that you gave the scroll to the Nine Kings, but it was originally given to you, wasn't it? You don't have to worry about the thoughts of the nine kings, the old man is here, he can't force you, you just need to promise to hand it over to the old man, and the old man will handle the rest of the matter. ”

"This ......"

"What do you want, silver? Or if you encounter any difficulties in life, you can talk to the old man......"

Xu You's words began to be a little aggressive, and Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't speak, so he had to turn his head to look at Situ Xi.

Seeing Xu You's oppressive appearance, Situ Xi couldn't help but smile and shook his head, then strode to the table, sat opposite Xu You casually, brought the teapot in front of him to his hand, and then took out a teacup and poured tea for himself.

"Lord Xu, it's not kind for you to sow discord in front of me."

Xu You's face did not change when he heard this, and he took a sip of the teacup.

"It's always good to try, and the old man doesn't suffer."

"Okay, old Zhangtou, you go out and wait first, I'll talk to Master Xu alone." Situ Xi turned his head and waved his hand at the shopkeeper Zhang behind him, the shopkeeper Zhang looked at the two of them, and saw that Xu You didn't speak, he should have acquiesced to the matter, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Before exiting the door, Lao Zhangtou deliberately walked up to Situ Xi and whispered to him.

"Childe, the paper has nothing to do with the clumsy when it is handed over to you, you can just deal with it at will."

When Lao Zhangtou closed the door, Situ Xi greeted Xu You.

"Situ Xi has seen Xu Shangshu, Lord Xu doesn't seem to have participated in the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and yesterday's spring hunt?"

Xu You, as the head of the household, should definitely be invited by Emperor Chu, but Situ Xi had never seen his face a few days ago.

"The old man is sick." Xu You said lightly, but Situ Xi looked good at him, and thought that this illness should be an excuse.

"Nine kings, I won't say anything more to you, the purpose of the old man's trip is very clear, that is, I want the document in your hand, you can make a price."

"Lord Xu, this is not your attitude of begging for help." Situ Xi replied to him in a joking tone.

"Could it be that the old man has a better attitude, and the Nine Kings will give me things for nothing?"

"Hmm...... Not really, but maybe it can give you a discount. ”

Xu You still had a straight face, not smiling, he stared at Situ Xi for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "Nine Kings, do you remember that your entourage encountered the people of the Kite Tower in the west of the city?" According to Yilin, it was done by Fang Yubi from the Luguo Mansion, and the reason was that your performance in the poetry meeting made those children feel embarrassed. ”

"That's the 'money' you've prepared? Lord Xu, I already know about this. ”

Hua Shaoying had told him about this before, but Situ Xi had just known the reason for this matter, this was the so-called squirrel, and he hired someone to commit murder just for this little thing.

"No, it's just a sign of sincerity, this is the old man's attitude, if the nine kings are still satisfied, just say the price."

"Is it okay to do anything?"

"As long as the old man can do it."

"Hmm...... Lord Xu, I heard that the household department of the Chu State is in charge of Cao Yun, right? ”
