Chapter 203: Go to see Pei Shao
"I don't know about that!" If Wei Ying is pretending to be stupid, then he acted really well, and he has successfully deceived many people, but Lin Shuran is curious, as the eldest son of the richest and most powerful Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in Beijing, what reason does he have to do this, "If outsiders ask about the Golden Ball and Liang Ji coffin shop, don't involve your third brother." ”
"Mother, I understand!" Xu Minghao nodded in agreement.
However, when he returned to the General's Mansion, Xu Minghan found Xu Minghao alone and asked him about his affairs in the Criminal Department, but Xu Minghao did not hide it from him, and told him everything he experienced today, which also made Xu Minghan sure that the Golden Ball was related to the Ren family.
I heard Xu Minghao say that when Xiao Chen left the Criminal Department, he told Lin Shuran that he wanted to go to Chengnan Grange to see Pei Shao, Xu Minghan had doubts in his heart, so early the next morning, he quietly went to the Grange, but Xiao Chen went earlier than him, and the two of them happened to meet in the village.
"I've seen Lord Xiao!" Xu Minghan will be twelve years old after the New Year, he has grown up very quickly this year, and he is only a little shorter than Lin Shuran, he has begun to look like an adult, and his words and deeds are very different from previous years, very polite.
Xiao Chen also nodded to him, looking at the handsome and handsome face of the young man in front of him, a deep and incomprehensible light flashed in his eyes: "Third Young Master Xu!" ”
"Lord Xiao, are you leaving?" Xu Minghan saw that Xiao Chen was walking out, thinking that he should have already met Pei Shao, but he didn't know what the two of them were talking about, would it be related to the case at hand in Xiao Chen?
Xiao Chen nodded again, and then raised his feet and left, but when Xu Minghan continued to walk inside, he stopped again, turned his head to look at the back of the young man and fell into contemplation, when he investigated the relationship between Xu Junze and the Ren family, he found that the timing of Xu Minghan, the third young master of the Xu family, appeared in the capital was a bit too coincidental, did the little young master of the Ren family really fall off the cliff and die?
Wu Bao, the steward of the grange, saw Xu Minghan come suddenly, he still felt strange, he didn't recognize all the young masters in the house, and the most familiar ones were the seventh young master Xu Minghao and the eighth young master Xu Mingxuan, who often came to the grange, but since the incident with the black tiger, the young masters have been forbidden to come here to play by the general.
"Third Young Master, do you have anything to do in Zhuangzi?" Wu Leopard accompanied Xu Minghan, and since Xu Mingxuan sent those animals to Zhuangzi, this grange has become more lively than in previous years.
Xu Minghan glanced around, and then said as if unintentionally: "It's nothing, just go to the neighborhood and take a look, what did Master Xiao from the Criminal Department do in Zhuangzi just now?" Or is it because of the case of the Black Tiger last time? Someone caught the black tiger in the mountains, right? ”
Wu Bao shook his head and replied: "I don't know about this little one, Lord Xiao doesn't allow others to approach, he and that Pei Gongzi are talking alone in the room." ”
Xu Minghan lowered his eyes, and then said to go and see Pei Shao, who was temporarily living in the grange, and then Wu Bao led him into the courtyard where Pei Shao was, and he didn't know what kind of elixir Pei Shao used, and his body soon recovered, but he was still in this grange and didn't want to leave.
Pei Shaozheng was in the courtyard, and he saw Wu Bao walking in with a young man, he didn't know this young man, but looking at Wu Bao's attitude towards him and his clothing and bearing, he thought that maybe it was a young master of the Xu family.
Sure enough, Wu Bao introduced him, saying that this young man was the third young master in the General's Mansion, and when he learned that Pei Shao was in Zhuangzi, he came to say hello to him.
"Steward Wu, you go down first!" Xu Minghan asked Wu Bao to go out first, he and Pei Shaoze entered the room, the two of them greeted each other, looking at Xu Minghan who was like a little adult, Pei Shao also showed interest, this young man looked unusual.
"When I came in just now, I saw Master Xiao from the Criminal Department, isn't Pei Gongzi's case still over?" Xu Minghan sat on the chair, he wanted to make himself look more stable, but that still very young face made Pei Shao feel that his pretense of being old was a little ridiculous and cute, and he felt that this young man was very interesting.
Pei Shao lowered his head and smiled, then looked up at Xu Minghao again, coughed slightly, and replied: "Xu Sangongzi, the next case has been clarified, and Lord Xiao came to me for another case." ”
"What case?" Xu Minghan immediately asked.
Pei Shao felt a little strange, Xu Minghan seemed to want to know what he and Xiao Chen said, what did this third young master of the Xu family do with this curiosity?
So, Pei Shao replied: "I'm really sorry, Lord Xiao specially told me not to mention it to outsiders!" ”
Xu Minghan twisted his eyebrows, but soon his face returned to calm, and then he looked up at Pei Shao again, and said, "I see that Pei Gongzi's health is already good, and he doesn't look like a homeless person, when do you plan to leave my family's Zhuangzi?" ”
"Is the third prince planning to drive me away?" Pei Shao still had a smile on his face, "Is it the meaning of the third prince himself or the meaning of the general's wife?" ”
"Naturally, I mean, my mother didn't know when I came here, since Pei Gongzi has already taken care of his body, there is no reason to continue to stay here!" Xu Minghan did not deny Pei Shao's words, he came here today in the hope that Pei Shao could leave the Xu family's Zhuangzi as soon as possible.
"I don't remember where I offended you, Third Young Master Xu, and it was the general's wife who allowed me to recuperate here, even if she wanted to drive me away, she had to say it." Pei Shao thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was the first time he and Xu Minghan met, how could it be that the young man opposite didn't like him very much.
Xu Minghan's face turned cold, he looked at Pei Shao and said very seriously: "My mother is kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and my seventh brother and eighth brother are simple and easy to bully, but I won't watch them being used, you are not a penniless and homeless person, what is your intention to rely on our Xu family all the time?" ”
"Huh—I don't understand what you're saying!" Pei Shao suddenly stood up and looked at Xu Minghan who looked serious and funny, "Why do I have intentions for your Xu family?" Speaking of which, I gave all my belongings to your eighth brother for free, and when I was in trouble, you helped me, shouldn't you? ”
At this time, Xu Minghan also stood up, he stared at Pei Shao and replied: "The young head of the dignified Xishu Liu family should not need the help of others!" ”
Pei Shao was stunned by Xu Minghan's words, he has been in Beijing for several years, and he has been in contact with a lot of various people, and he believes that many people have secretly investigated his true identity, but he is confident that no one can find out, but the young man in front of him has a determined demeanor, how did he know? !
