Chapter 271: My Man Doesn't Need You to Talk
Shen Ru and Xiao Wuyan walked on the ridge of the farm, watching the long-term workers on the village working in the fields.
"After the cotton is harvested, the cotton stalks need to be pulled out completely, and the cotton stalks can be used as firewood." Shen Ru felt that he was quite uninteresting, and discussed with Xiao Wuyan where to go, and went to his Zhuangzi.
"Is the cotton harvest okay?" Xiao Wuyan looked at this large piece of cotton stalk and asked casually.
"It's okay, the seeds from Gaochangguo, plus the people who have Master Si Nong on weekdays to check the insect disease at any time, this year's time and place are good."
Shen Ru has quite a lot of confidence in this cotton pad, women, no one can do without that.
"You haven't told me yet, what happened to the Assassin last night?"
Xiao Wuyan talked about last night's person, and then analyzed it himself: "The person who came was well disguised, his face and voice were deliberately covered, and then his purpose should be the refining method of fine salt." ”
"I guess he'll come back."
Shen Ru was a little worried, looked at Xiao Wuyan and said, "Then what should I do, otherwise, you can live in my house!" ”
"That's not right." Xiao Wuyan smiled, "It's inconvenient for me to handle official business." ”
"That's it, I thought you were worried about others saying that you were in trouble!" Shen Ru deliberately said in a relaxed tone, just because he didn't want Xiao Wuyan to worry too much. "Didn't you say, this is the last one, then I suggest that the method of refining fine salt should be made public!"
"It's how to make it public!" Xiao Wuyan said calmly: "Is it dedicated to the imperial court or to whom?" ”
"First of all, salt should not be sold privately, if ordinary people get this method, it will give rise to the act of illegal salt trafficking; Secondly, in the current war, Aarro, in fact, I am not sure who will be the final victor. ”
"So who do you think is coming?" Shen Ru asked tentatively, she felt that she could enter and exit the Assassin's Mansion without alarming the guards, it was likely to be Pei Wenjing.
If it was someone from the court, they would have come to ask for the guilt a long time ago!
"I don't know, but the other party won't kill me."
Xiao Wuyan said with certainty.
"Why are you so sure?"
"Aru, I have escaped many times on the line of life and death, and I know what murder is."
Xiao Wuyan smiled casually, "Looking at your busy long-term workers in the field, I feel more steady, and the unhurried look on the faces of the people is the meaning of my existence." ”
Shen Ru glanced at Xiao Wuyan and didn't refute him, although, what he should do for his position as a assassin is to supervise this Liangzhou official.
"Let's go, go to the Zhuangzi and sit down, and I'll let them grow some vegetables casually."
Shen Ru took Xiao Wuyan's hand and said, "Also, as I said before, I want to give you a new set of robes, what I remember is that I made the cotton weaving cloth produced in my own field for you!" ”
Xiao Wuyan's heart moved, she still remembered.
"Aru, you ......"
"If you're moved, just a few new clothes can move you!" Shen Ru smiled, "I'm not as selfless as you, except for what I asked for from my family before, I'm also worth a lot of money!" ”
Shen Ru's meaning was naturally that the 125,000 taels of silver belonged to the Shen family, not hers, and Xiao Wuyan understood it when he heard it.
However, the remaining 25,000 taels are all Shen Ru's!
For example, Shen Ru, who has a huge amount of money, he is Xiao Wuyan and is indeed poor.
On the farm, Duan Bo's family was very respectful to Shen Ru and Xiao Wuyan.
"Host, these are freshly picked vegetables in the morning, take them back when you leave!" Duan Bo's son, Duan Tugen, said with a large basket of vegetables.
"Okay, do you have enough to eat?"
It's not the first time for Shen Ru, she doesn't come every day, but every time she comes, she can take back a basket of vegetables.
"Enough, this year, God will enjoy food, it should rain and rain, it should be sunny and sunny, and the harvest in the field is good."
"If you want cotton, you should dry it in the sun while the weather is fine, so that it can be preserved."
Xiao Wuyan watched Shen Ru explain the things to the people in Zhuangzi, and looked at Shen Ru with interest.
Who would have thought that a daughter of the Hou Mansion would be so close to the people?
Coming out of the Zhuangzi, Shen Ru and Xiao Wuyan were riding horses in the suburbs like looking at the scenery, walking without hurry or slow.
Walking to a bamboo forest, suddenly, a man covered in a body blocked the way.
"It's him." Xiao Wuyan spoke, "The person who attacked me last night. ”
It's him!
Shen Ru knew by looking at his figure, it was Pei Wenjing, this anti-thief leader, why was he so empty, it was only more than a month since the last time he was in Liangzhou!
"What do you want to do?" Shen Ru drove his horse and stopped in front of Xiao Wuyan.
"What, is Lord Xiao a man hiding behind a woman?"
Pei Wenjing lowered his voice and said with mockery.
"Shen Ru, don't you have a good eye for picking men?"
As soon as Pei Wenjing's words came out, Xiao Wuyan's eyes were wrong when he looked at Shen Ru, this person ...... The tone seems to be familiar with Shen Ru!
The alarm bell in Shen Ru's mind rang up, and he was conflicted in his heart, whether to say it or not.
"You don't have to know who I am, but Shen Ru, I know you, I know what happened to your Shen family, do you know what this breezy Lord Xiao next to you is doing in private?"
Pei Wenjing's words can be regarded as stepping down the steps for Shen Ru.
He did not reveal the fact that he knew his identity.
"My man, what kind of person is you, do you need to talk about it?"
"The dignified history of Liangzhou assassination, but in private, it is the collusion of officials and businessmen to sell illicit salt and make profits from it, Shen Ru, guess how much money you, Lord Xiao, have hidden in private?"
Pei Wenjing has been checking where this private salt came from in Liangzhou, but in the end, he found out that Liangzhou Thorn Shi was on the head, and it was false to say that it was not ironic.
"If he is guilty, then ask the ministers of the imperial court to decide!" Shen Ru said calmly, "It's not a person like Your Excellency who doesn't even dare to show his true face." ”
"I know you, but you don't dare to show your face, I think, you're from the rebels!"
Shen Ru deliberately doubted.
"Heh, I'm here to cooperate with Lord Xiao, since there is a fine salt refining method, why not share it?"
"There are not a few salt mines in the southwest, which does not conflict with Lord Xiao's business."
"You and I matter, but you involve Aru, Your Excellency is too despicable."
Xiao Wuyan was the first to speak, not wanting the other party to know that Shen Ru knew about fine salt.
"The contemptible people have followed Lord Xiao all the way, just look at the two of you, me, heh, Lord Xiao, I'm afraid you have forgotten Shen Ru's identity. Or are you using the name of an official to oppress the criminals? ”
"Fuck your shit!"
Shen Ru didn't know what Pei Wenjing wanted to do, did it make her suspicious of Xiao Wuyan?
"Lord Xiao has obtained the method of refining fine salt, and he has been sent to the imperial court with a secret letter, he is the thorn history of Daduan, if you want to take it, go and intercept it halfway!"
Shen Ru said nonsense, "If you appear in front of Lord Xiao again, I will tear off your black cloth and see who you are!" ”
"Really?"
Pei Wenjing was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shen Ru suspiciously, did Xiao Wuyan really send a secret letter to the imperial court?
