Chapter Ninety-Six: The Chief of Internal Affairs
Ye Suiyun was stunned for a moment, wondering what she meant by what her cousin meant? But he is not a fool after all, he knows that there must be a reason, and now that he is in danger, he is more concerned about three points than usual, so although he doesn't understand the situation, Ye Suiyun is silent, just smiles innocently, and turns his head to look, sure enough, Lu Wu is secretly making his eyes.
Gong Qing asked, "Brother Jia, have you just come from the Fire Master?" Ye Suiyun nodded and said, "According to the instructions of the commander of the palace in the apse, I will send it to the lord first, then the two deputy lords, and finally the chief here, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”
Gong Qing shook her head and said, "Okay, according to the rules, it should be in this order." He paused and asked, "Did you hear what they said at the fire master's place?" ”
Ye Suiyun felt a little strange about her inquiry, but just pretended not to understand, shook his head and said, "The little one sent the meal and withdrew, and I didn't hear anything." "The current situation is strange and unclear, Ye Suiyun doesn't dare to attract attention casually.
Gong Qing's grace sighed, as if she was thinking about something, and said for a long time: "If you want to say that things in the world are really coincidental, when Lu Wu told me today that her cousin and sister were taken to White Emperor City, I said that I was joking. ”
Ye Suiyun only roughly understood how Jia Luwu deceived Gong Qing to help, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you for saving my sister, I am very grateful." ”
Gong Qing said: "Don't worry, Huan'er will definitely keep her safe with me." Ye Suiyun glanced up at Tang Xiyao, the other party was also looking at herself, knowing that her pseudonym was Jia Huan'er. Gong Qing continued: "Since I helped you, in turn, you have to repay the favor and do me a favor?" ”
Ye Suiyun was slightly surprised, and said: "The chief manager has orders, and the little one should obey the order, I don't know what I want to do?" ”
Gong Qing said: "It's very simple, in the future, when you deliver food, you have to go to the fire master often, listen more carefully, and report to me what they say and do." ”
Ye Suiyun's heart sank, this is to be an undercover agent by herself, although she doesn't understand what the two of them have to have, but this small detail may come in handy in the future, and said with a look of sincerity and fear on his face: "The little one must do his best." ”
Gong Qing smiled with satisfaction and said, "You brothers and sisters must have a lot to say when they meet, so let's go." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house to rest, as if he was tired from talking for a while.
Ye Suiyun suddenly asked again: "I have just arrived, dare to ask why the chief manager will give trust?" Thinking that according to her status here, it shouldn't be difficult to find an eyeliner to spy on others, so I couldn't help but ask curiously.
Gong Qing turned back and said: "In this White Emperor City, except for my brother and Lu Wu, I don't know who to believe, it is precisely because you are the person who just entered the city today that you are the most credible." ”
Ye Suiyun agreed repeatedly, saluted and retreated, and Tang Xiyao and Jia Luwu also followed. Ye Suiyun joked: "Your new name is also good, fortunately it's not called Jia Xiao, isn't that a fake smile?" Tang Xiyao said angrily: "No matter what it's called, it's better than Jia Er." ”
Lu Wu said with relief: "Fortunately, you are clever, I forgot to tell you before, just now the manager said that we are cousins, I am really afraid that you will show your stuffing." Ye Suiyun nodded and said, "No wonder Huang Hua has to be surnamed Jia too?" It turns out that you have already discussed it. Lu Wu said: "Although the manager is good to me, he can't open his mouth to everything, if it weren't for my close relatives and friends, how could she agree to help." ”
Ye Suiyun agreed: "That also means that it seems that you don't have to be a big country." The latter sentence was said to Tang Xiyao.
Tang Xiyao shook her head and said: "Although Gong Qing is fine now, I have observed her for a long time and found that she does have a heart disease, so that her whole body is deficient in qi and blood, and her physique is weaker than ordinary people. Lu Wu continued: "Yes, I heard that the manager has suffered from heartache since he was a child, and he said that he was brought from his mother's womb, and it is useless to see any doctor." ”
Ye Suiyun said with a smile: "Count your family manager as lucky, and meet the best doctor in the world." It could be seen that Lu Wu cared about Gong Qing very much, and she said to Ye Suiyun: "Go back quickly, so as not to arouse suspicion if you are out for too long." Ye Suiyun said goodbye to the two and hurried back to the apse, now that he knew that Tang Xiyao was in a safe situation, he was relieved, and the next thing was to find an opportunity to rescue Liu Yang.
At noon the next day, Ye Suiyun ran around the apse dozens of times inside and out, and finally finished his work, so he had the time to sit down and rest for a while. Thinking of Gong Qing's words yesterday, it seems that the interior of these twelve serial docks is not monolithic, and each has its own thoughts. Gong Qing is obviously suspicious of the Yuwen brothers, or rather wary, although the specific details are not known yet, but it is always a clue, and it is necessary to slowly clear the context of it, so as to make a fuss about it and find an opportunity to save people.
Suddenly, he heard a sigh beside him, full of grievances and helplessness, Ye Suiyun turned his head to look, and there was a big man with a leopard head and eyes sitting not far away, with a black hair on his face that was very majestic, but this rugged-looking man had drooping eyebrows at this time, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he looked sullen. Ye Suiyun looked pitiful and curious, poured a big bowl of wine and served it, and said, "This good man, if there is anything unpleasant, drink more bowls of wine and pass, come." ”
The man glanced at Ye Suiyun in amazement, took the wine bowl and dried it up, and said, "You're right, Lao Tzu will have to find the field one day, little brother, what's your name?" Ye Suiyun said: "Jia Er, it's new." The man said: "No wonder you don't know me, my name is Qiu Dazui, and the brothers here call me Brother Dazui, you are not bad and have a future." Ye Suiyun grinned and said, "Why is Brother Big Mouth unhappy?" ”
Qiu Dazui slammed into the ground and said, "It's not that dog yet。。。。。 The one with the surname Gong. The patrol guard changed guard late, what does it matter to me, but I insisted that it was my dereliction of duty, and I was counted down in front of so many people, and I told Lao Tzu how to mix in the future. He... Qiu Dazui was foaming at the mouth and said excitedly, and Jia Huanghua shouted behind him: "Jia Er, come quickly." ”
Ye Suiyun couldn't understand either, so he had to say to Qiu Dazui: "Brother Dazui, I'll talk about it next time, I'll see you later." After saying that, he threw down Qiu Dazui, who didn't say anything, and ran away in a hurry.
Jia Huanghua put the food box into the basket and said, "I don't have enough people today, you have to send one more place, don't get confused." Ye Suiyun asked the direction, picked up the basket, and suddenly asked, "What is the origin of that Qiu Dazui?" ”
Jia Huanghua glanced at it and said: "He, he is one of the four partial generals, his nickname is quite majestic, what is it called'Zhan Zhang Fei', he thinks he is brave and invincible, but he is actually a bag of anger, and he should be Cao Gaisi's subordinate." ”
Ye Suiyun asked again: "He said that he was bullied by a surnamed Gong... Huang Hua said: "Even the front hall commander Gong Wei, I don't know how to get it, this palace general just looks at him unpleasantly, and always troubles him, but Qiu Dazui has a low status, but he doesn't dare to resist." Ye Suiyun secretly thought that there were so many people surnamed Gong in this White Emperor City, and asked curiously: "Isn't Cao Gaisi very powerful, how can someone bully his subordinates?" ”
Huang Hua said: "Gong Wei is the lord's family, and no matter how horizontal the surname Cao is, he must be afraid of three points, but these two people have always been good water and do not violate the river water, there is no festival, and they will not offend Gong Wei for the sake of a hand, so they will turn a blind eye and ignore it." Ye Suiyun thought to himself that this was the case, and Jia Huanghua urged: "Don't ask, go and deliver the food, it's not good if it's cold." ”
Ye Suiyun had to pick up the food basket, and inadvertently saw Zhang Shanshi sitting on a table from a distance and looking at him, Ye Suiyun nodded slightly as a greeting, and didn't dare to delay any longer, so he pulled his legs and went quickly.
Seeing Gong Ao again, this big master of the Twelve Serial Docks was still intoxicated in front of the portrait like last time, sighing from time to time, and his soul lingered. Ye Suiyun simply didn't even say anything this time, put down the food and left, Gong Ao didn't seem to know that he had come. Ye Suiyun began to wonder if this Gong Ao was the legendary strongman who dominated the green forest, and what kind of virtue he had. But then again, the aura of the master on his body can't be hidden, which is even more incomprehensible.
When I came to the residence of the Yuwen brothers, I entered the courtyard and found that there was only one Yuwen enemy, who was sitting in the courtyard and meditating on something. Ye Suiyun knew that there was nothing to hear today, put the food on the table, and was about to withdraw, when Yuwen suddenly said, "Wait." Ye Suiyun's heart tightened, and he turned around and said respectfully: "What does the deputy lord command?" ”
Yuwen Di's eyes swept over Ye Suiyun like a knife, and asked, "What did you do before?" ”
Ye Suiyun didn't dare to hesitate, and said calmly: "The small ones are herding cattle for big families in their hometowns, and they also do some rough and stupid work on weekdays. "I was secretly worried in my heart, could it be that this guy saw something. Yu Wendi's face softened, and he nodded: "The young man is a good hand at doing things, the meals sent in the past, the soup and water are splashed everywhere, and the food you sent yesterday is clean and neat, not bad." Go back and tell Gong Dafei, and I will send it to you here in the future. ”
Ye Suiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was talking about this, his cultivation was exquisite, and his natural steps were steady, what kind of difficult thing was this, but he pretended to be happy and said: "Thank you for the praise of the deputy lord, the small one must be more attentive in the future." Yuwen nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”
Ye Suiyun took a long breath after coming out, thinking that he had exposed his feet, and he was really scared by this old guy. I should have gone to Gong Qing next, but according to Jia Huanghua's instructions, the place closer to the residence of the Yuwen brothers is the place to be sent today.
Walking to a courtyard with full curiosity, before entering the door, I heard a heavy sigh inside, full of sadness and sorrow, which was made by an old man. Then another voice said with a crying voice: "If Xiao Mengzi can't wake up with three long and two short, my old bones won't live." After saying that, she couldn't stop whimpering, and it sounded like an elderly mother-in-law talking.
Ye Suiyun walked to the door, did not step in rashly, stretched his neck to look, and saw a pair of old men in the house who looked like a couple looking at each other sadly, gloomy, I don't know what sad things I encountered. Ye Suiyun's thoughts crossed: "Although these two are sad for some reason, they are far from the word Fulu. Before he could speak, the old man, who had always turned his back to him, pointed to the side with his hand and said, "You are here to deliver food, just put it on the table." ”
Ye Suiyun agreed, walked in, put the food box aside, and was about to turn around and retreat, when suddenly his wrist tightened, and he was grabbed by the old man. He looked at Ye Suiyun coldly and said, "No matter who you are, it's best to be safe and secure, and don't play tricks." ”
Ye Suiyun was secretly vigilant, and pretended to be panicked on his face: "Senior, why is this, I... I just sent something. The old man said: "You are far away from the old man more than ten zhang already know, carrying two large baskets on your shoulders, but you don't hear the sound of the flat shoulder shaking and bending, although you can't see the depth of your kid's cultivation, but at least it shouldn't be a servant who delivers food, don't think you can hide it from everyone." ”
Ye Suiyun breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it wasn't from the inside that the stuffing was revealed. At the same time, I also admired that this old man was really careful, and he could see from the details that he had martial arts. was about to make up some reason to excuse herself, but the old woman next to her complained in tears: "When is this happening, you still have the time to take care of this." The old man also sighed after hearing this, let go of Ye Suiyun's wrist, and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go." "Apparently in no mood to pay attention to him anymore.
Ye Suiyun never dreamed that he would get out so easily, although he couldn't figure out what the situation was, he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he picked up something and slipped out. Along the way, I was nervous, I didn't know why they let me go, and I didn't know if they would denounce it, but no matter what, there was no doubt about the strength of these two old martial arts.
Hu Sijian went to Gong Qing's place, but this time Lu Wu and Tang Xiyao were gone, only Gong Qing was in the house, holding a book and reading, she saw Ye Suiyun and said, "You are here, Huan'er and Lu Wu are going to decoct medicine." ”
Ye Suiyun put down his things and said, "Only Yuwen Enemy is here today, and he didn't say anything." Gong Qing nodded and replied, "Got it." ”
Ye Suiyun had doubts in the past two days, and felt that now was a good time, so he said carefully: "The little one just came to White Emperor City and didn't understand anything, but the manager was very good to me and my sister, so no matter what kind of dispatch there was, the little one was willing to go to the soup to make a small contribution to the manager." ”
Gong Qing smiled slightly and said, "That's good, you have a heart." Ye Suiyun continued: "It's just that I can't help but wonder in my heart, why is the chief steward suspicious of the two deputy lords, and even wants me to keep an eye on them at all times?" ”
Gong Qing stared straight at Ye Suiyun, and said for a moment: "You are not only curious, but also really bold, and you can say anything. It's the first time I've heard someone ask me a question like this. When he spoke, he smiled faintly, but he was not angry, which made Ye Suiyun's nervousness relax by three points. Although he pretended to be a subordinate, he didn't really fear these people in his heart, so he naturally pretended not to look like them, and when he had doubts in his heart, he opened his mouth to ask, although his tone was humble, but he didn't expect that this word should not come from his mouth. There was also a mistake in the calculation, and unexpectedly Gong Qing seemed to be in a good mood at this time, and she didn't think it was angry.
After laughing, she sighed softly, and said: "I, the chief of internal affairs, have an empty title, but it is not practical. Now the power of the White Emperor City is in the hands of the Yuwen family, and even the elder brother is just a puppet. ”
Ye Suiyun unexpectedly asked such an answer, and said in surprise: "Is the manager saying that it is the Yuwen brothers who really control the White Emperor City?" Gong Qing's jaw was the first to answer.
Ye Suiyun was puzzled: "It's really weird, could it be that I thought wrong." Gong Qing asked, and Ye Suiyun replied: "You said that the lord is a puppet, but I obviously feel that he is extremely skilled, and he definitely does not look like a person who can be manipulated at will, although sometimes he doesn't seem to talk much." In front of Gong Qing, it was not easy for him to say that Gong Ao looked demented.
Gong Qing said: "What you said is also good, my brother's martial arts are world-famous, and it is not what the Yuwen clan wants." I say he's like a puppet, but it's pretty much the same. He doesn't care about anything in the city, big or small, and hands it all over to those two, isn't this tantamount to giving up the power of domination? ”
Ye Suiyun asked, "Why is this?" Gong Qing sighed lightly: "It's not because of that Yu Rui." ”
