Chapter 32: Gentle Mission
Jian Shuzhi ran to the Yuelai Inn in a panic and collided with Yan Zhiping, who was going out of the inn.
Yan Zhiping raised his head and looked fixedly, "Yo." Coincidentally, isn't this the stupid boy who beat up that night?" Seeing Jian Shuzhi running from the inn in a hurry, he stretched out his foot and tripped over Jian Shuzhi.
Seeing that Jian Shuzhi was not tripped, he stopped himself in front of Jian Shuzhi again, blocking the way.
"Silly boy, what are you doing at the Joy Inn?"
Jian Shuzhi bypassed his obstruction and didn't have anything good to say to him, "What's the matter with you?"
"Yo, it's quite backbone," Yan Zhiping raised his eyebrows, "It seems that the skin is itchy, and it has to be treated." He raised his eyebrows and pulled the wound again, and screamed in pain. He lightly covered the wound with his hand, beckoned his followers to surround Jian Shuzhi, and called for someone to bring a stool, and sat and watched the play with a big thorn. "Dare to ignore this son, and beat him until he kneels and begs for mercy. ”
Jian Shuzhi dodged and jumped over the encirclement, "I don't want to cause trouble, don't bother me either!"
When Yan Zhiping saw Jian Shuzhi escape from the encirclement, he was even more angry and kicked the bench away, scolded "rice bucket!", then stood up and pointed, "You, you, you, if the three of you can't catch that kid, you will let the account room deduct your wages when you go back." ”
"Young master, don't make trouble. If I go back today, I will definitely be scolded by adults again. The officials who were named whispered persuasion on the side.
mentioned being scolded, Yan Zhiping was even more angry.
Since his mother's womb, he has never suffered the slightest grievance, and he has grown up in the palm of his hand since he was a child. It's like last time, when I was scolded by my father, I was scolded, and I was cut out of my face. Later, I learned that the source of the Prime Minister's anger was actually from a small dispute. And the culprit of that dispute is in sight.
If only that's all.
What is the purpose of this silly boy coming to the Joy Inn?
If others don't know why, don't you know it yourself?
It must have been Wen Wan who sent these two rabbit cubs back that day, and was coaxed by them to learn where to live, and came to find her today.
Unfortunately, I was bumped into by myself. Dare to fight with yourself for a woman, this is eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, right?
"Do you dare to disobey my words?" Yan Zhiping shouted, frightening the three government officials to retreat three steps away.
When they went out, they were told to take a good look at the young master. Now that it is an eventful season, don't cause trouble and be manipulated by others.
But the current situation is a dilemma, neither at the top nor at the bottom. The three of them glanced at each other, and they all said that the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, and he couldn't care about the moment, so it was better to go first. Even if you get into trouble, there's still a high top.
After a brief eye contact, the three officials came over from three directions.
The innkeeper was settling accounts with the guests who had checked out, fighting for a hole coin. At this time, when he looked up and saw that these people were about to fight, he could no longer care about the extra coin, so he left the guests and ran over.
"Ouch, I'll talk about a few boys. The shop here is small and can't withstand everyone's tossing. Let's go out and fight, everybody. ”
Yan Zhiping picked up the bench, landed on the stool with one leg crossed, and shouted loudly at the shopkeeper, "Master, I'm in a good mood today, I broke something and reported my name to Yan Zhiping, just go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get it, and I'll give you double the price." ”
The shopkeeper listened: Hey, this is a good deal. It was Yan Zhiping, the demon king of the mixed world, who also caused trouble, and there was no more pit sound. Retreat to the counter and pretend you didn't see anything.
Jian Shuzhi saw the three of them coming over, and he was not flustered. On closer inspection, the servants on the left and right sides were thin and short, with nimble skills, and in the center was a fat man, slow moving.
The circle around the three of them became smaller and smaller, and further back was the wall. If you fight hard, you will definitely not be defeated, and you can only rely on outwitting.
Jian Shuzhi looked at the posture of these three people, and they were skilled in cooperation, and they definitely did bad things with Yan Zhiping on weekdays. He calculated while retreating, and the biggest breakthrough was the fat man in the center.
If you can't beat it, you can run, this is the experience that the fat man told him.
The three of them gradually forced Jian Shuzhi into a corner. The servants on the left and right sides were ready to step forward and grab his arms, and then let the fat man in the center hammer him.
That's a good calculation.
At this moment, Jian Shuzhi chose to strike first. At the moment when the three of them were about to hold him, they kicked the fat man's inner thigh. This side kick was fast and hard. The fat man didn't have time to react at all, and he didn't expect Jian Shuzhi to choose him as a breakthrough.
Listening to a miserable scream, the fat man's tears of pain flowed, and he lay on the ground and rolled, revealing a gap in the middle.
Jian Shuzhi jumped out like an arrow off the string.
After escaping from the encirclement, Jian Shuzhi didn't think about it, and ran out. A good man does not suffer immediate losses, his fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, thirty-six strategies, and he goes up.
Yan Zhiping looked at the situation, and this was okay. He let the stupid boy escape, and he got up and blocked the door. "Where are you going?"
Jian Shuzhi didn't think about it, he took off with his strength and kicked Yan Zhiping's chest.
Yan Zhiping wanted to dodge too late, and was kicked by this kick, and fell on his back.
The three government officials were dumbfounded when they saw Yan Zhiping being kicked to the ground, usually only Gongzi bullied others, how could he have ever seen others so faceless and dare to overturn Gongzi.
Hearing Yan Zhiping lying on the ground and crying out for pain, the fat man couldn't care about his pain anymore, so he hurriedly got up and helped Yan Zhiping up with two other government officials.
After Yan Zhiping was helped up, he gave each of the three people a slap, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't chase after it!"
......
Jian Shuzhi scolded in his heart. Looking back, he slipped away too fast, and he had already thrown off the pursuit of the three government officials. However, all the steps of his plan were disrupted, and he didn't see Wen Wan.
While wandering along the street, I saw a crowd of people in front of me, and onlookers were talking. Jian Shuzhi squeezed into the crowd and saw that surrounded by the crowd was a billboard, and the content of the list was to publicize the relevant matters of this conscription.
This list looks like it has just been posted, and the paste in the list has not yet dried. The breeze blew and lifted a corner, and it turned out that there was a list under this list that had been posted for a few days.
At a glance, Jian Shu saw a name that he was very familiar with on the covered list-Wu Shangshu. Only when I asked others did I know the content on the list, and the list at the bottom was about the relevant matters of this inspection and requisition.
Passers-by smiled and said to Jian Shuzhi: "Inspection, those are all things that the scholars and doctors consider, we ordinary people only want the peace of the country and the people, there are no natural and man-made disasters, and we can live this life well." ”
Jian Shuzhi nodded yes.
While he was talking, he saw a group of officers and soldiers detaining a fugitive from a distance. The prisoner was young, his hands and feet were shackled, and his hair was dragged away.
The group of officers and soldiers shouted as they walked, "Neighbors, look at it, this is what will happen if you enlist in the army and become a fugitive." Today, the Son is sympathetic to all the people, and there is no punishment for sitting together. Today, they marched in the streets to set an example. ”
Looking at the group of officers and soldiers gradually moving away, some people in the crowd looked up to the sky and sighed, "The world rises and falls, and the people are suffering." ”
......
Jian Shuzhi finished running the south city and ran the north city today, and he was really tired. When I returned to the Yuelai Inn again, I didn't find Wen Wan. Then he could only give up and return to Changping Street.
When I returned to Wu's mansion, I met the old steward who was coming towards me. The old steward was directing the maid to bring tea to Lord Shangshu's study.
Smelling this tea fragrance, it is actually the taste of Yuzhou Chunshan tea. This is harvested from the tip of the hair in Yuzhou, it is said that it is better to grow near the Spring Mountain, out of the range of the Spring Mountain, the tea leaves picked can not brew that taste. And among the four seasons of the year, spring tea especially tastes the best. Mr. Wu has always regarded it as the meat of his heart, and he is usually reluctant to soak in it.
With this kind of hospitality today, it can be seen that Wu Mansion should be a distinguished guest.
When the old housekeeper saw Jian Shuzhi, he asked with a smile, "Has Childe found Miss Wen?"
Jian Shuzhi shook his head, smelled the fragrance of tea, and couldn't help asking, "Is there a distinguished guest in the house?"
The old steward was old, but he was deaf and clear-sighted. I saw him nod, leaned close to Jian Shuzhi's ear and said, "The one who came to visit is Lord Taibao, who has been retired for many years. Mr. Wu and Mr. Ge Fuzi were accompanying him in the study. ”
Jian Shuzhi sighed.
The old steward then smiled mysteriously again, "I expected that Childe didn't find Miss Wen, so I deliberately asked." Not long ago, I saw Miss Wen returning home alone. ”
Jian Shuzhi asked, "Then where is she now?"
"Well, I don't know. Why don't you go and find it?" said the old steward with a smile.
Jian Shuzhi searched in the courtyard for a long time without seeing Wen Wan, and when he opened his door, he found that Wen Wan was in a daze inside.
She sat on the edge of the bed with a sad face, and didn't speak when she saw Jian Shuzhi coming in.
"What's wrong? Miss Wen. Look at your frown, as if you are very unhappy. Jian Shuzhi slowly approached and sat beside her. "I went to the Yuelai Inn to look for you according to the note you left, but I didn't see you, and I never thought that you had already returned home. ”
Wen Wan heard Jian Shuzhi speak, raised her head and said, "I'm sorry to cause you to run for nothing." ”
"It's nothing, it's just a few more steps, and it's good to practice. Did something happen to you?"
"There's a letter from home. Wen Wan whispered, "When you arrived at the Yuelai Inn, I was talking upstairs with my clan uncle. I heard you arguing downstairs and wanted to go out and have a look, but they wouldn't let me go downstairs. ”
Wen Wan fiddled with the corners of her skirt with her hand, looked up at Jian Shuzhi again, and asked, "You're not injured, are you?"
Jian Shuzhi laughed, "No! I'm fast." ”
Wen Wan burst out laughing, "This kind of heroic deeds can also be said? It seems that you really have to learn a kung fu or two from your teacher earlier, so as not to be chased away by others every time." ”
Jian Shuzhi smiled awkwardly, "That's right." Miss Wen, you said that there is a letter from home, what is written in the letter?"
Wen Wan heard the question, a trace of reluctance flashed on her face, and she slowly stood up, "This...... I'll talk about that later. Wen Wan hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "Actually, I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders when I come to Beijing this time, and Gongzi Jian still petitions to forgive me for not being able to say it clearly." ”
Jian Shuzhi could feel the gentle mood swings. At this moment, she seemed helpless and unhappy.
Looking at the gentle back, Jian Shuzhi tried his best to reach out and hug her into his arms, and whispered in her ear: Don't worry! But I thought that I was useless, and I couldn't help others. The hands still couldn't reach out......
