Volume 1 The Heaven in the Pot Chapter 19 The "Ghost" Who Infiltrated Youzhou
Shen Ye made up his mind in his heart, stopped, and pulled the Bai Zihuan brothers and sisters aside.
Bai Zihuan was curious, tilted his head and said, "Brother Xian, what's wrong?" ”
Shen Ye's expression was very solemn, he looked at Bai Zihuan and said, "Brother Bai, I want to ask you to help me find a child of a family in the inner city." ”
Bai Zihuan was immediately embarrassed when he heard this: "Looking for someone? I can't hide it, I haven't left Beijing as a brother, and I don't know the children of other families, so the virtuous brother entrusted the wrong person. ”
Shen Ye shook his head and said, "I can't think of anyone else who can help me except for Brother Bai." ”
Bai Zihuan was greatly affected in his heart, and at the same time he was even more curious: "I don't know who the surname of the virtuous brother is looking for, and which family is it?" ”
"I don't know."
"Huh?"
Bai Zihuan rolled his eyes, if it weren't for Shen Ye who spoke, he would have scolded back a long time ago, you don't know who you're looking for, so how can I find it?
Shen Ye twisted up, and said: "This person came to my Shen family a few years ago, I was extremely impressed by her, I met in the courtyard at that time, only met once, this person's appearance was deeply engraved in my mind, I have been thinking about it for the past few years, and I happened to dream of this person yesterday, and I can't help but miss it a lot." But at that time, I only knew that this person was a child of a family and came to visit my Shen family with his elders, but I didn't know her name. Now that the children of the family are gathered here, even her age, I expect that she may be among them, so I would like to take this opportunity to take a look in the courtyard where the family lives and see if I can find this person. ”
Bai Zihuan looked at him with a cowardly demeanor, his speech was slurred, and he didn't know what the situation was, he took off the hat on his head, stepped forward and hugged Shen Ye, blocking his sister's sight, and squeezed his eyebrows and whispered to Shen Ye: "Brother Shen, just say it directly, is this person your sweetheart?" ”
Shen Ye said "ah", as if he didn't think that Bai Zihuan instantly guessed "that person's identity", he hurriedly pushed Bai Zihuan away and waved his hand to deny it.
Seeing Shen Ye's panicked appearance, Bai Zihuan smiled secretly in his heart, but he was more sure of his guess, but he was puzzled: "But how can I help you?" ”
Shen Ye saw that Bai Zihuan agreed to him, and immediately said with "joy": "Brother Bai only needs to help me drag down Mengzhou Mansion." ”
Bai Zihuan looked dazed: "What does this have to do with Mengzhou Mansion?" “
Shen Ye explained: "Do you think, the people of this family are temporarily living in this inner city, and the Wenhui has not started, so they will definitely not come out much when they have nothing to do, especially the young ladies of those big clans, so how can I see them?" ”
Bai Zihuan thought about it, suddenly realized, and said excitedly: "You mean to let me go there to make trouble and lead everyone and Mengzhou Mansion out?" ”
"Ugh." Bai Zihuan choked Shen Ye with a word.
Seeing that Bai Zihuan's expression was full of interest and eager to try, not like a joke, Shen Ye hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, my intention for letting you drag the Mengzhou Mansion is to let the Lord of the State Mansion introduce you to the major families who have already arrived here for your brother and sister, and you and the Lord of the State of Youzhou who represent the hundred families visit at the same time, you said that the young people of those families are always embarrassed not to come out to say hello, right." ”
"Oh." Bai Zihuan saw that he didn't let him cause trouble, and regretted it in his heart, thought about it and said: "It's not right, then you can join us and let Mengzhou Mansion introduce you?" ”
Shen Ye swallowed his saliva and patiently explained: "Brother Bai didn't forget that I ran out secretly, if afterwards, let the people of the Shen family in the inner city know that I came to Youzhou......"
Bai Zihuan patted his forehead and said suddenly: "Yes, how did I forget this, then Brother Shen, do you mean that after entering the inner city, you will separate from us, let us visit the major families with Mengzhou Mansion, and then you observe in the dark?" ”
Shen Ye nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Bai, you have to let Mengzhou Mansion introduce you to the children of the family one by one, especially the younger generation." Shen Ye added in his heart, "In this way, you can help me delay enough time." ”
Shen Ye couldn't care about face for the sake of "lifelong events", he bowed solemnly to Bai Zihuan and pleaded: "If the younger brother finds the girl who has been thinking about it for a long time, Shen will be grateful to the hundred brothers for a lifetime!" ”
Bai Zihuan was asked to do things for the first time in his life, and when he saw that Shen Ye valued him so much, his heart became inexplicably excited, as if he was going to do something big, he said arrogantly: "Don't worry, my brother will help you today, if I don't help you find out the woman, I won't be surnamed Bai in the future!" ”
Shen Ye was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, no, if that woman is not among them, won't Brother Bai lose?" ”
Bai Zihuan said with a hippie smile: "You know what I mean." ”
The two discussed it, and then took Bai Youyou towards the inner city.
When they arrived at the south gate of the inner city, the three of them were immediately stopped, and the sergeant led by them watched a few people vigilantly.
It's no wonder that the sergeant is so cautious, anyone who sees someone wearing a hat will be nervous, not to mention that this is still a Youzhou powerhouse, although this little girl wearing a hat is not a threat.
"Who are you, it is a heavy place in Youzhou, and idle people are not allowed to enter."
Bai Zihuan replied: "I am from Lijingnan Mansion, and I am specially invited to participate in the cultural meeting. He handed over the hundred waist cards on his body.
"Leaving Jingnan Mansion? The son of a hundred families? ”
The sergeant's expression relaxed, and after confirming that the waist card was correct, the sergeant said to them: "Wait a minute, I will immediately send someone to inform the state capital, and ask the adults to come and greet you." ”
Bai Zihuan knew that if Shen Ye met Meng Feng now, it would be difficult to withdraw after a while, so he hurriedly stopped the sergeant: "Forget it, the state capital is busy, why let him go out of the city to greet him in person, I will wait for him to enter the city myself." ”
Seeing the sergeant's embarrassed look, Bai Zihuan glanced at him in the hat: "What? Are you afraid that my hundred family disciples will steal inside, or are you afraid that my hundred family children will assassinate the state capital? ”
The sergeant hurriedly said: "Gongzi misunderstood, Gongzi can enter the city, but Mengzhou Mansion should be receiving a Taoist chief at this moment, and if you go in now, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while." ”
"Dao Chief?" Bai Zihuan and Shen Ye unexpectedly thought of that old Taoist, could it be that old Taoist?
Shen Ye didn't want to delay time, so he said, "Then how about you lead us to a resting place first?" ”
The sergeant thought that after all, the hundred families were one of the eight great families, and it was estimated that they would also live in this inner city, so they might as well take them directly to the courtyard on the west side of the city to move in.
The sergeant turned around and called an official to come over: "Captain Chen, these distinguished guests are from a hundred families, you take a few to the west of the city." ”
The Chen Wu Chang walked over and asked, "How do you arrange to go there?" ”
The sergeant said strangely: "Didn't the Lord of the State Mansion let Master Mei take care of the lives of the various families over there, wouldn't it be over if you let Master Mei arrange it?" ”
Chen Wuchang was helpless: "You forgot, Master Mei and the general sentenced several adults went to the outside of the city to pick up Lord Yuyao of the Ministry of Rites, and now there are only the state capital and the general in the inner city." ”
Shen Ye was listening to this, and he was overjoyed that he had come at the right time.
The sergeant thought for a while: "Then you first send a few people to the Chengxi Pavilion for a short rest, and then hurry to report to the state capital." ”
Chen Wuchang nodded, and respectfully said to a few people: "A few sons, young ladies are invited." ”
As soon as you enter the inner city, you will see a vast square, in the center of the square, several teams of soldiers patrolling there, and at the end of the square is the official office of the lord of Youzhou Prefecture, looking at the buildings in front of him, Shen Ye knew that the army dispatch document he was looking for was there.
A few people walked west for a while, and Shen Ye saw that the time was almost up, so he suddenly covered his stomach and said to Chen Wuchang, who was leading the way: "Brother Guancha, I am in a hurry, I want to go to a thatched house, I don't know where the thatched house is?" ”
Chen Wuchang blurted out: "You also want to go to the thatched house?" ”
Shen Ye Bai Zihuan glanced at each other when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Also? ”
Chen Wuchang said apologetically: "Childe, I don't know, before you, I just brought a few people in, among them, a Taoist boy and a medicine boy both claimed to have a bad stomach and went to the thatched house, and they haven't come back yet, and a team of soldiers has gone to look for them." Therefore, when I heard that Gongzi was going to go to the thatched house, I immediately thought of them, so I was surprised just now. ”
Dao Tong? Medicine Boy?
Shen Ye and Bai Zihuan glanced at each other, and the two of them were a little confused.
Bai Zihuan was the first to come back to his senses: "People have three urgencies, tell my brother where the thatched house is." ”
Shen Ye's legs bent slightly, as if he was trying his best to endure it.
Seeing this, Chen Wuchang hurriedly pointed to the north and said, "Gongzi has been walking forward, and the west side of the forest in front of him is the thatched house. ”
Seeing Shen Song leaving, Bai Zihuan took Bai Youyou's hand and continued to walk towards the west of the city, and Chen Wuchang asked behind him, "Isn't Gongzi waiting for your brother?" ”
Bai Zihuan squinted at him, and said angrily: "My brother is not a child, he came out to find someone to ask for the way, what are you waiting for him to do?" ”
Chen Wuchang thought about it, and ran in front of Bai Zihuan to continue to lead the way.
……
"What about people? Where are the people?! ”
Meng Feng asked in a cold voice to Nan Fu, who was kneeling in front of him to plead guilty.
Meng Feng and Zhao Shen sat down in the main hall, waiting for Yu Yao, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to arrive, but they heard the advice of their subordinates that Xun Lao and the Taoist were here at the same time.
Meng Feng couldn't help but have a headache, things rushed together, he was too busy for a while, Yuyao came over today, it was inconvenient to let Xun Lao diagnose the teacher, so Meng Feng asked Zhao Shen to take Xun Lao to the side hall of the City Lord's Mansion to rest, and let Xun Lao participate in the luncheon, and then take the opportunity to make amends.
Meng Feng himself went to the yamen of the prisoners who were usually interrogated by the Youzhou Division under the leadership of Nanfu, but the old Taoist who was supposed to be waiting here disappeared at this time.
Nan Fu only promised: "I was still here before, but somehow I disappeared, the official standing in the hall has been guarding the door, and I haven't seen the Taoist go out, could it be that the Taoist is so powerful that he has left?" ”
Meng Feng's face was gloomy: "Retreat? Are you really a god? You idiot! ”
Meng Feng was so angry that he picked up the inkstone on the case and threw it in front of Nanfu, and said, "Why do you think I want you to bring him here, instead of my main hall in Youzhou?" ”
Nanfu knelt on the ground and trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, the little one knows that he is wrong, and the villain will take someone to find it immediately." ”
"No need." Meng Feng said coldly: "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, go home and rest for a few days, and come back on an errand next month." ”
Nanfu felt miserable in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "The little one retires." ”
Meng Feng shouted at the officials standing outside: "You few wastes, notify them, if you see someone who behaves strangely in the inner city, take it directly!" ”
Seeing Nanfu and the official leave one after another, Meng Feng calmed down, Meng Feng always felt that this Taoist suddenly appeared in Youzhou City at this time for another purpose, the teacher was in Youzhou City at the moment, Meng Feng had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't want to have unstable factors around, so he thought about letting people bring the Taoist chief in and interrogate him himself.
Unexpectedly, this Taoist priest was a little scheming, and felt that something was wrong, so he ran away in advance.
"If I knew this, I should have sent more people to watch over this chief, this Nanfu is really a useless waste!" Meng Feng frowned, then thought of something, and looked in the direction of the residence where the teacher was, his pupils shrank.
"Oops!"
