Chapter 115: Let's mention the Pei family
Walking quickly on the streets of Liangzhou City, many of the houses you see are made of mud and tiles, and there are no high-rise buildings.
"Miss, I've heard that the wind and sand in Liangzhou are big, and the higher the building, the stronger the wind, and over time, this house in Liangzhou City is like this."
"Well, it's not suitable for tall buildings."
Shen Ru said, "Is this the main street, there are not many people to watch." β
"There are not many people at this time, compared with the prosperity of the capital, Liangzhou is much more desolate, and now it is the New Year, and the merchants who come and go have also returned, and the entire Liangzhou City is even more withered. Miss, what kind of person is that aggressive girl! β
Shen Ru told Cui Ti's identity and the causes and consequences of appearing in the exile team.
"Even so, she can't yell at you, Miss, what kind of person, I really don't know how her father and mother taught her."
Cui Xi said indignantly: "This New Year's Eve is not with his own family, but also for the sake of his sister's ex-fiancΓ©, it's just ...... Simply ......"
Shen Ru is used to Cui Ti's self-righteousness.
"I need to find Lord Thorn, they're going this way."
Shen Ru looked ahead, why didn't he see Xiao Wuyan's people?
"I know where the Thorn Mansion is, Miss, over here."
Cui Xi was already very familiar with the road in Liangzhou, and soon, he took Shen Ru to catch up with Xiao Wuyan, who was about to enter the Assassin Mansion.
"Lord Xiao stays!"
Shen Ru shouted loudly.
Xiao Wuyan turned around and saw Shen Ru coming in a hurry, his eyes darkened.
"Why are you so eager?"
"There is something to discuss with Lord Xiao, can you speak further?"
Xiao Wuyan was stunned for a moment, and then let Shen Ru and Cui Xi enter the door.
The people of the Assassin's Mansion were very curious when they saw the two women who came suddenly, from the guards at the door, to the officials in the mansion, to the miscellaneous servants in the backyard, they all looked at these two people curiously.
Shen Ru and Cui Xi both have the faces of Central Plains women, which are very different from the rough appearance of Liangzhou women.
Xiao Wuyan led the person to the study, and Cui Xi stopped at the door.
"Lu Yi, go to the kettle of water."
Xiao Wuyan also ordered his subordinates to go out.
"Don't be so polite, I'm here to tell you something, well, can you take out the old lady and the little prince of King Jing's Mansion and the two concubines?"
"Why? King Jing's Mansion is a serious offender in this exile, you won't know it! β
"All the adult males in the Jingwang Mansion are dead, and there is only one single seedling left, well, haven't you received a secret order from the imperial court yet?"
"What secret order?" Xiao Wuyan was puzzled, how could Shen Ru, a wandering criminal, know about the secret order of the imperial court?
"On the way, there have already been killers who have shot at Pei Chongguang, and Chen Qing has also been told that Pei Chongguang will be dealt with on the way."
Shen Ru said directly: "I solved a group of killers, well, Lord Xiao, the child is innocent, if you receive a secret order from the imperial court, will you do it?" β
"This official is not going to kill a young child."
Xiao Wuyan sank his face and said, "How about taking it out, you take it in?" β
"That's not it, isn't someone going to care?"
Shen Ru said that there is someone, naturally it is Cui Ti.
"Shen Ru, this official can give you this favor, it is already the moon now, and the official will not force you to do things, but after the year, you will have to do your best."
"Okay, okay, I got it!" Looking at Xiao Wuyan's serious expression, Shen Ru immediately responded.
"I heard that you borrowed money from the Yan family to buy coarse salt, so let's do it, while there is nothing to do now, I will give you some drawings when I go back, and then you can make some tools, and we can refine fine salt."
Shen Ru said confidently and calmly.
"How many people have you let know about this?"
As far as she knows, Yan Shaoqing; What about those who don't know?
"Anyone who should know will know that this batch of coarse salt, in addition to the daily needs of the state capital, also needs to be processed by the Yan family."
Xiao Wuyan said: "The Yan family's path is wide. β
"Northwest Shang King, then I know."
The batch of salt she has on hand will see if she is looking for a middleman when the time comes.
After saying this, the two of them became embarrassed for a while.
"When you were in Ganzhou, didn't you say that you would stay for a few days, why did you return to Liangzhou so soon?"
Still Shen Ru found an excuse and asked.
She still remembered what she said at that time! Xiao Wuyan felt a little inexplicable in his heart.
"This official stayed in Ganzhou for a few days, but he didn't know that your exile team would go so slowly."
"Who called this northwest land so dangerous?" Shen Ru sighed: "In Suzhou, there is a post station for a hundred miles, horse thieves are rampant, and the post station we just left on the front foot was burned clean by horse thieves; The post station where he rested again was attacked by horse thieves, in short, the road was not very peaceful. β
Xiao Wuyan was first surprised, and then a little surprised.
"Indeed, the northwest is not peaceful, if something happens to Liangzhou City, you can inform the government."
"In general, I can figure it out on my own."
Shen Ru waved his fist and said.
"There's nothing else to do, I'm leaving!"
"Don't you want a hot cup of tea?"
Xiao Wuyan blurted out, but then said, "Okay, come here, send off guests." β
Just as Lu Yi came with hot tea, and when he saw that Shen Ru was leaving, he hurriedly shouted:
"Miss Shen, why are you leaving, have a cup of tea!"
"No, I have to see where I settled right away, and there will be a chance in the future."
Shen Ru said politely and asked Shang Cuixi to leave the Thorn History Mansion.
"My lord, why don't you keep Miss Shen."
Lu Yi said in a complaining tone: "This tea, I still want the best in the house!" β
"Let me drink."
Xiao Wuyan said angrily.
Lu Yi was puzzled, where did this adult's anger come from?
Shen Ru and Cui Xi left the Assassin's Mansion and went back directly to the house where they had been purchased.
Before I even entered the door, I heard a familiar voice.
"I'm waiting for you, Miss Shen, you said that this is not fate, your house is next door to my Yan family."
Yan Shaoqing walked out of the next room.
Shen Ru frowned, and then looked at Cui Xi.
Cui Xi didn't know what to say, when they bought a house, they saw a lot, just this house, you can see it, and it is a big house with three entrances, although it is smaller than the Marquis Mansion of Anguo in the capital, but it is good in Liangzhou City.
"Miss, it's just next door, we bought this house from a merchant."
"I used to live here a businessman from Jiangnan, and I had heard that he thought that Liangzhou was windy and sandy, and wanted to go back to Jiangnan."
Yan Shaoqing explained: "I originally wanted to buy this house, but I didn't expect you to be the first to get there. β
"It's really fate."
Shen Ru said calmly: "In the future, I will ask Gongzi Yan to take care of me!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, and there will be more visits in the future."
Yan Shaoqing said with a smile, that noble appearance made Cui Xi on the side look stupid.
"Miss, he's very good-looking, just like the guy with makeup."
After entering the house, Cui Xi whispered.
"Poof~" Shen Ru couldn't help laughing, fortunately Yan Shaoqing didn't hear this.
