Chapter 17: A Visitor to the Capital

Xiao Yan is a loyal messenger who has to run to Mei Xue almost every day to report Mama Zhang and Yurong's itinerary.

The day before Mama Zhang arrived in Chengdu, he brought two nurses to Mei Xue in a hurry, and said quite proudly:

"Miss Mei, look, this is the nurse I found for Xiao Ping'an, and I have already said that I can follow all the way to the capital."

Mei Xue was really moved this time, in fact, from beginning to end, Xiao Yan had great kindness to her.

Even when she lied to him and ran away, he never cared.

asked Jiu'er to take the two nurses to settle the residence, and Mei Xue personally made tea for Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan ate a piece of snack, and then smiled at Mei Xue with tea:

"Miss Mei, don't you know that my grandmother cries almost every day because of my cousin's illness.

Now that you have not only cured my cousin's illness, but you are also willing to follow us to the capital, and with you as a miracle doctor, I can sit back and relax from now on, and I don't have to see my grandmother cry anymore. ”

Looking at the simple boy in front of her, Mei Xue couldn't help but wonder:

"Xiao Gongzi, you think too highly of me, what kind of miracle doctor am I? It's just a coincidence. ”

Xiao Yan shook his head desperately and said to Mei Xue seriously:

"What I said is true, Miss Mei, you don't go out all day, I don't know what you're being like outside now.

I dare to guarantee that it won't be long before even the people in the capital will know that the Shu Wangfu has a miracle doctor, and I don't know how much they will envy me. ”

Xiao Yan's words turned too fast, and seeing that Mei Xue was stunned, he smiled even more happily:

"That's it, Miss Mei, you think, you will be my cousin's full-time doctor in the future, and I am my cousin's best brother, hmph, those boys in the capital, whose family members are they, relatives, have a sickness or disaster, if you want to find you, you have to agree with me first."

Mei Xue finally understood what Xiao Yan meant, and couldn't help laughing, coughed and pretended to be serious:

"I agree with Xiao Gongzi's words, you are familiar with the personnel of the capital, and when you come to the capital in the future, you will be my spokesperson, who you will treat, who you will not treat, and I will listen to you to what extent you will treat a person's illness."

Xiao Yan patted his legs and laughed, tears almost bursting out of his eyes:

"Miss Mei, I like your temperament so much, if you are a man, I must worship you as a brother."

Gao Yuan, who walked to the door, happened to hear Xiao Yan's words, and his face instantly darkened by three points.

If it weren't for the master's cousin, he would have made this guy disappear from Chengdu tonight.

Hearing that it was Li Jinzhi who asked him to invite Mei Xue, Xiao Yan immediately put away the smile on his face, jumped up and asked Li Jinzhi if he was uncomfortable again.

Gao Yuan looked at Xiao Yan with a cold face:

"No, the master is very good, just ask Miss Mei to talk about the dishes she wants to eat at night."

Xiao Yan didn't think much about it, as long as Li Jinzhi was fine, he would be relieved.

So they set off separately, Xiao Yan went to talk to Princess Shu, and Mei Xue followed Gao Yuan to Zhizhuyuan.

Along the way, Gao Yuan secretly looked at Mei Xue several times, thinking that she would ask a few questions, but found that she had been walking calmly, not even half curious.

Li Jinyi, dressed in white, stood at the gate of Zhizhuyuan and waited for Mei Xue, and smiled gently when he saw her.

Gao Yuan left immediately, and Li Jinzhi said to Mei Xue with a smile:

"There have been a few more idlers around the palace recently, and they have been brought back by Gao Yuan, as if they are related to the Yan family in the capital.

I'm going to go over and ask a few words, I wonder if Miss Mei wants to listen to it? ”

Mei Xue looked at Li Jinzhi and didn't speak, but nodded directly.

The Yan family is so impatient, it would be rude for her not to meet her.

Li Jinzhi's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he led Mei Xue all the way towards the flower hall in the outer courtyard.

Spring is late, the wind is getting warmer, and the garden that was originally full of flowers is getting more and more green.

The two walked side by side, Li Jinzhi put his hands behind his back, and said to Mei Xue with a smile as he walked:

"Elder Yan is the second assistant to the cabinet, and he is a person of high moral integrity, so he will never condone his family members or subordinates to do illegal things.

These people now dare to use the name of the Yan family to protect themselves, which is really bold.

If Miss Mei has anything to say, just ask later. If the girl agrees, I can ask Li Changshi to report the matter back to the capital and correct the name of Yan Ge. ”

The main function of the royal palace chief was to deal with the internal affairs of the vassal kings and assist the imperial court in handling the affairs of the royal family.

Obviously, Li Jinzhi suggested that she make trouble in front of Emperor Mingde, but it was just a euphemism.

Mei Xue looked at Li Jinzhi, and suddenly remembered the phrase "killing people without seeing blood", but looking at it again, Li Jinzhi completely meant that he was sincere and sincere for Yan Ge.

She couldn't see the slightest flaw in his smiling eyes.

Probably this is the reason why Li Jinzhi has been able to live until now.

There is enough kindness and forbearance, but there is no lack of scheming and ruthlessness.

And as soon as he struck, he hit the key point and killed the enemy.

For the Yan family, which is now in full swing, reputation is the most important thing.

Mei Xue admitted that she still had to learn from Li Jinzhi in this regard.

For example, last time, when Song Zhijie talked about the Yan family appearing in Taiping Town, the first feeling in her heart was anger.

Qiao Anyi had lost everything she could lose, and she didn't even have her life, but the Yan family still refused to let her go.

What should the right thing look like? It should be like Li Jinzhi now.

Mei Xue admitted that it was the status of the Shu Palace, and the privilege of being a royal family, so that Li Jinzhi was not really afraid of Yan Yuncai.

Although she is unbearable, she should at least have enough reason and not put emotions first.

Especially the emotion of anger.

Mei Xue nodded, stopped and saluted Li Jinzhi to thank her.

Li Jinzhi's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he helped Mei Xue and said:

"Miss Mei doesn't have to be polite, I once said that I would never let the girl be wronged when she was by my side, this sentence will always be valid."

The man's hands were clean and pale, with slender fingers and well-defined bones.

When the sleeves are slightly raised, there is a faint scent of vermilion ink.

Mei Xue lowered her eyes and did not respond to Li Jinzhi's somewhat ambiguous words.

When the two arrived at the flower hall, Gao Yuan was already waiting, Mei Xue took the hat handed over by Li Jinzhi and put it on, Peng Liang immediately led someone to tie up more than a dozen men and said:

"Master, Miss Mei, the guards who escorted Miss Mei's family with the boat have rushed back in advance, and they have been identified just now, and it is these people who appeared in Taiping Town some time ago."

Speaking of this, Peng Liang paused for a moment and continued:

"Master, none of them admit that they are the leaders, and insist that they are just here to deal with the Yan family's business in Shudi.

The subordinates have already arranged the execution manpower, just waiting for the master to show it. ”

Li Jinzhi smiled and nodded, motioning for Peng Liang to wait, and then he turned his face to look at Mei Xue.

Mei Xue looked at those people through the tulle on her hat, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

The Yan family really looked up to her, and chased and killed her as an orphan girl, and put on such a big battle.

When these people set off from the capital, she still had nothing to do with the Shu Palace.

These people were all dressed as merchants, and they were not badly dressed, except for the two men kneeling at the back, dressed in earth-colored coarse cloth clothes, both of whom looked low-browed and pleasing to the eyes, as if they were following and serving these merchants.

Mei Xue's eyes stayed on these two people for a moment, then pointed at them and said to Peng Liang:

"Let these two men go, what do they know? The rest of them are locked up and asked slowly, regardless of whether they are disabled.

If you really can't ask, let the government send it to the mine! ”

Peng Liang and Gao Yuan both had stunned expressions, although the two earth-colored clothes still lowered their heads, their sudden joyful expressions couldn't be hidden no matter what.

Mei Xue smiled coldly in her heart.

The other few people who were dressed up in brocade clothes were a little flustered, seeing that Gao Yuan and Peng Liang had already loosened the ties of those two people, a man with a fat figure struggled and shouted:

"Brother Qiu, Brother Zhao, you can't go, what should we do if you leave?"

There are many gold and silver mines in Shudi, most of which are in the deep mountains and old forests, how can any of the prisoners sent by the government leave alive?

They want to be faithful, and they are afraid that if they offend their masters, they will not end well, but they want to live more.

The two men who were already about to leave were obviously panicked, and they actually flew out with flying feet.

Li Jinzhi smiled and raised his hand to Gao Yuan and Peng Liang.

Peng Liang and Gao Yuan understood, and without waiting for the two people to run out of the door, they grabbed them and pressed them back to the same place.
