With Xu Ruyi's order, the entire city of Nanjing suddenly fell into a state of closure.

Yesterday, there were suspicious people all over the street, a pair of eyes were looking around, and black-clothed people were patrolling around, but today they all suddenly disappeared without a trace.

People were curious, but when they got together, what they said was the confession of Niu Erye yesterday night.

The real protector of Nanjing City turned out to be the eunuch of Dongchang, who everyone feared like a tiger on weekdays. This kind of realization amazes everyone who hears it.

"Fake, right?" was people's first reaction. But if you think about it, even if it's fake, some things are always true.

Not to mention anything else, Niu Er offended a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries in the past, but he can live peacefully to this day, and it seems that only Dongchang can have this ability to cover him.

After a heated discussion, coupled with some specious gossip, slowly, the reputation of Dongchang seemed to have a tendency to be whitewashed during this day.

The people may let it be done, but they cannot know it.

Niu Er contributed to them, kept them safe, and hung the credit on the head of Dongchang, and the people saw it like this, heard it like this, and believed it like this.

If you think about it, no matter how fierce and evil Dongchang is, it seems that it is all aimed at the group of officials in the court. As for those officials, hey, just like Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, and Aunt Zhao said: "How can there be a good thing in the officials!"

"The eunuch is not true and loyal, does not read the words of the sage, and is extremely lowly, how can he do good deeds!" The scholar raised his arms in the tavern and tea shop, wanting to correct the shallow views of the people, of course, did not dare to use such a straightforward word, but the meaning was always similar. It's a pity that it only attracted boos from the people.

Xu Ruyi originally brought Niu Er just to have one more source of information, but he didn't expect Niu Er to be able to create such a reputation in this capital, and he did have some ability.

"Little Er, check out, and I'll reward you with more. In this tavern, he watched a drama of "Xiucai meets soldiers", Xie Jin's mood was very happy, and he happily put down five taels of silver on the table, and did not look for money, and walked out.

Theoretically speaking, Xie Jin is also a member of the readers, and it can even be said that he is the model of the readers. But because of his relationship with Dongchang, he has the reputation of being a eunuch, and he is despised by scholars all over the world, so he naturally doesn't dare in front of him, but in private, especially these who have not yet entered the officialdom, who are not afraid of the sky and the earth, what kind of scolding is it.

Xie Jin is not good at dealing with them, and he can't care about it, holding his breath is always inevitable, and now seeing them deflated, the taste is really unspeakably sour.

But when he got on the sedan chair and the sedan curtain was lowered, Xie Jin's face became gloomy again.

The limelight is wrong, I'm afraid something is really going to happen.

Since receiving the order from the aftermath of Dongchang in the morning, he has this idea. He has not thought of the source of the disaster for the time being, after all, he does not have his own intelligence network.

Xie Jin was depressed. He once went to Dongchang to see Xu Ruyi during the day and wanted to ask what was going on, but he was closed, which also made him very depressed.

However, there are some things that can be judged even if you don't know the beginning and the end. It's like a thief living next door, as long as something is lost at home, no evidence is needed, the first reaction must be that the neighbor stole it, no.

If something happens to the East Factory, he will definitely be implicated. If something happens to him, that person will be happy.

"Lao Xu. Xie Jin opened the side curtain, and the housekeeper Lao Xu naturally stepped forward: "Master." ”

"Go to the house surnamed Fang. ”

"Yes. Lao Xu agreed, and then stepped forward quickly, beckoning the sedan chair man in front of him to turn.

There are many families with the surname Fang in the capital, and there are not a few powerful houses that can be called upper mansions. But the one who can make Xie Jin grit his teeth and call the surname Fang is the only one who is Fang Xiaoru.

Half an hour later, the sedan chair stopped in front of Fang Xiaoru's mansion. The housekeeper stepped forward to pass Bing, and soon after, Xie Jin sat in the living room of Fangfu and sipped tea.

Coarse tea, I can't say that it tastes good, the water is hot enough, and I grinned at it.

"Brother Gentry is here, and I have missed the welcome below, and I ask for forgiveness. Fang Xiaoru arched his hands, smiled and groaned, his face full of kindness.

"Xie Jin, how can he be virtuous, where can he afford the welcome of Mr. Zhengxue, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it. Xie Jin sat on the seat and didn't get up, and arched his hand without smiling as a return gift.

Fang Xiaoru still smiled and didn't get angry, and sat down on the top of himself: "Brother Squire seems to be in a bad mood?"

"It's really not good. ”

"I don't know what's going on, can I help you?"

"You can help. Xie Jin snorted and squinted at Fang Xiaoru: "Recently, my right eyelid has been jumping, and I feel that something is going to happen recently, Brother Xiaoru may solve it?"

"This... is only shallow in the next class, but he is not familiar with the art of Qi Huang. ”

"It has nothing to do with the disaster, I'm just afraid that it is a villain, and it is not good for me to solve it!"

Xie Jin has self-cultivation, at least pretending to be self-cultivation is not a difficult thing for him, but in front of Fang Xiaoru, especially in this kind of private occasion, it is always difficult for him to restrain himself, and it is difficult for him to say why. I just know that every time I am so cynical, I will always feel a lot better.

At this time, Fang Xiaoru's face also sank, looked at Xie Jin, and said lightly: "The villain that Brother Squire said... But what do you mean?"

"That's you. Xie Jin pointed at Fang Xiaoru: "Are you doing some conspiracy again? Be careful not to cause trouble to your family." ”

"Brother Gentry has also read the words of the sage, Zi Bu is strange and confused, not to mention, even if there is really a conspiracy below, as soon as you ask, I will say it directly?"

"I'm not here to ask you, I'm here to warn you. Xie Jin snorted and said, "You'd better not make some messy tricks, otherwise... Hmph"

"No, and I don't dare. Fang Xiaoru shook his head: "Brother Squire, you have Dongchang Xu Gong to take care of, how dare you provoke for no reason." is still the same sentence, under the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, there are actually many troubles. I just want to do some small things for the people, and I have no intention of getting involved in court battles. Not to mention ... After a pause, he said: "With the meticulousness of Dongchang's intelligence, even if there is really a conspiracy, I'm afraid it won't be able to hide from Duke Xu's eyes, right? ”

Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoru picked up the teacup, and the tea lid was lightly buttoned twice, and he didn't drink it, which was the meaning of sending off guests.

"Farewell!"

Seeing Xie Jin leaving, Fang Xiaoru put down the tea cup in his hand, and his eyes narrowed: "This may really be an opportunity... ”
