After Yan Wuwo learned the news of Su Shi's return, he hurried back to his house and waited.
He was waiting for Chu Guo to show up, waiting for him to come get the remaining one thousand copper coins, and waiting to hear the report on Su Shi's route this time.
But he was destined to be disappointed. At this time, Chu Guo was training scouts on Shangcang Mountain. Where else could he serve for him?
.....
Secret Service compound.
Yan Wenying is also waiting for Yang Jingyun's return.
Compared to Yan Wuwo, he already had a bad premonition in his heart.
In five months, in the past, no matter how things were done, Yang Jingyun would always pass on some news.
But this time, there was no news at all, as if the person had completely disappeared. Now that Su Shi has returned to the capital, there is still no news about Yang Jingyun, so he has to think more.
"Sir, how about we arrest Tongzhiro and interrogate him properly." Dongzhong saw Yan Wenying's worry and offered advice.
"Don't be reckless." Yan Wenying waved his hand directly to stop his confidant's actions.
If we were still in Yingchang Mansion and Qianqizhuang, it would be enough to attack Su Shi. As long as we don't kill people, nothing big will happen. After all, at that time, how many people in the court knew
Does such a young man exist?
Even if the news reaches the capital, most people will be indifferent. For example, the Zhao family members of another lineage may still be eager to hear it.
But now, Su Shi has established a foundation in the capital and has an interest group. If Su Shi is really disturbed, Li Zhang, Miao Xiu and others will definitely be the first to quit. Once trouble breaks out, let them know what to do.
?
Moreover, according to the investigation, Su Shi also had a very good relationship with Bao Heizi. This person who had already joined the imperial censorship and was a very important figure was someone that the Secret Service was unwilling to deal with.
Not to mention, Su Shi had a life-saving grace for His Royal Highness King Jing. He was already a person who was in the heart of the emperor, and now he really made a move on him. When King Jing asked, and even the officials asked, what did they want?
answer?
For the sake of temporary gain, it may bring disaster to oneself, but a smart person will not do that because it is not worth it.
No matter when, there is a saying that is true, that is, if you do more, you will make more mistakes.
Even if Yan Wenying wants to control this business channel exclusively for the sake of the government and bring greater benefits to the government, if there is no good result and something goes wrong, the government may push them out.
Calm down public anger.
Yan Wenying would not do this kind of thing where the gain is not directly proportional to the effort. Of course, unless he got hold of Su Shizhi, or was under the instruction of the officials, then he would not do anything.
Any hesitation.
The suggestion was rejected, and Dong Zhong said with some reluctance: "Are we just going to watch like this? Sir, I believe that even Yang Jingyun's disappearance may have an important relationship with Su Shi."
"Won't."
After hearing this, Yan Wenying shook his head confidently, "This Su Shi is just lucky. He cured the physical illness of the Leye businessman and gained an enviable business channel. In other aspects, his abilities are mediocre.
.If you want to catch Yang Jingyun, haha, he doesn’t have such ability."
This is not to say that Yan Wenying was overconfident, or that he underestimated Su Shi. In fact, no one would have thought that Su Shi would be a descendant of later generations, and he also had a system that was unimaginable.
"Indeed, with Brother Yang's ability, it would be difficult for others to catch him if he doesn't want to, but what if this Su Shi had laid the trap in advance?" Dong Zhong appeared to agree with Yan Wenying's judgment, but in his words
Apart from that, he was still doubting Su Shi.
"Okay, now everything is just speculation without any evidence. Let's see if you can send more people to keep an eye on him recently to see if you can find anything different." Yan Wenying was actually a little skeptical.
After all, Yang Jingyun disappeared in order to follow Su Shi. It seems impossible to say that there is no relationship at all.
"Yes, I understand." Dongzhong agreed. Although he really wanted to capture Su Shi and take all his goods as his own, he also understood that the Lord was right. Su Shi now has
As a fundamental person, you can no longer just deal with it like before. Everything still needs evidence.
...
Royal Palace.
The news that Su Shi was going to enter the palace was whispered by Zhang Maoze when Renzong Zhao Zhen was resting.
"Oh? He's back?" Zhao Zhen asked after hearing this.
"I came back, and I brought a lot of goods with me." Zhang Maoze immediately told everything he knew.
"So, he can bring a lot of business tax to the court?" Zhao Zhen, who was very imaginative, suddenly said this.
It was this sentence that made Zhang Maoze's expression change. He never thought that the officials were thinking of such a thing. But now that he was asked, he immediately said in agreement, "Yes, I heard that
The Li family, the Miao family, and the Cao family have already gone to pick up the goods. By the way, Tong Zhilang also handed over a greeting note, saying that he would enter the palace to pay his respects to His Majesty."
"He is interested. It's just that I haven't seen him anymore. Didn't King Jing say that he was feeling a little unwell a while ago? In this case, let's call him into the palace and go check King Jing's health." Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while.
, or decided not to see Su Shi.
After all, in Zhao Zhen's heart, Su Shi was nothing more than a holy hand and a boy who gave money.
Su Shi gave Zhao Zhen money, and Zhao Zhen gave him an official position and a wealth, and that was it.
"My slave, I know." After Zhang Mao understood Zhao Zhen's intention, he immediately agreed, then withdrew from the Zichen Palace and sent Xiao Huangmen to the Su Mansion to deliver the message.
...
Zhaoren Palace.
Zhang Xi, who was waiting at home, happily told King Jing that Tongzhilang had returned to the capital and that His Majesty had already issued a decree to announce that he should enter the palace for his master's physical examination. Zhao Xi was so happy that he beamed with joy.
Zhao Xi had been looking forward to it for five whole months.
He couldn't tell what he was thinking about about Su Shi, his mouth-watering delicacies? Or Su Shi's novel story.
But he just knew one thing, that when Su Shi was around, his mood would often become very good.
"Go, let Sister Rou know that I will go back after I finish my studies here." Zhao Xi, who was happy, told Zhang Xi.
After Su Shi got the notice from Xiaohuangmen, he got on the carriage and headed towards the palace.
Zhang Xi had already been waiting at the outer gate of the palace. As soon as he saw Su Shi getting off the carriage, he smiled and came up to him and pushed the cart. The process was as smooth as clouds and water, and he was already very proficient.
In the courtyard of Zhaoren Palace, King Jing was still in school and had not returned, but Princess Zhao Huirou of Fukang was already waiting here.
"Xiao Jizi, look at my clothes. Are there any irregularities in my clothes?" Zhao Huirou asked excitedly, using Liang Huaiji as a mirror.
In a short period of time, Zhao Huirou asked this question countless times, but Liang Huaiji was not impatient at all. Instead, he smiled and answered with a low eyebrow, "Your Highness, you are the most beautiful person in the world. Naturally, you are wearing
It’s also impeccable.”
No girl doesn’t like others telling her she is beautiful.
The same thing applies even if Zhao Huirou is only six years old. Life in the palace makes her mature earlier than other girls outside.
Or maybe it's because she has no contact with other men in the palace, and her only father, Zhao Zhen, doesn't have time to spend much time with her. Now that Su Shi finally appears, who is young and capable, she will naturally feel a sense of dependence.
feel.
Zhao Huirou was happy in her heart, and her face showed it completely. Liang Huaiji, who saw everything in his eyes, wanted to say, "Master, just because Su Shi has a leg problem, it is impossible for you."
But these words were what he was thinking in his mind. Now he would not say anything disrespectful to make Zhao Huirou unhappy, otherwise he might be sent to Ye Ting and become a cold corpse in a few minutes.
Although Zhao Huirou is just a little girl, she is usually very talkative and has no scheming attitude. But once someone dares to speak ill of her brother Su, it is guaranteed that she will fall out immediately. This is why even though she knows what her master is thinking, Liang Huaiji always
The main reason why this matter was not reported to Concubine Miao.
Maybe if he reported it, Concubine Miao would cut off the contact between Su Shi and Zhao Huirou, but as the reporter, he would definitely not get any benefits.
Even if he knows the seriousness of the outcome, Liang Huaiji will naturally not do anything stupid. But he will not do nothing at all. He is just waiting for the right opportunity.
I don't know since when, Liang Huaiji began to look down on anyone who had a good impression of his master. In his heart, he wished that those who please his master would die. The idea has been made, but he has not realized it yet.
Zhao Huirou still looked happy. In the past five months, she had thought of Brother Su countless times and had seen him countless times in her dreams.
She didn't know if this was love, but one thing was that there was nothing wrong with her liking Su Shi.
As for whether this kind of love will have consequences, she is only six years old now, so she won't think about it so much.
"Tongzhiro, let's go into the courtyard now and take a seat." The voice of the chamberlain Zhang Xi came from outside.
This also attracted the attention of Zhao Huirou, who was waiting in the courtyard. Then Su Shi, dressed in white and sitting in a wheelchair, appeared in her sight.
After five months of absence, Su Shi's mouth has grown fine hairs, and he seems to be more mature than before.
In ancient times, due to various reasons, people's lifespan was usually shorter. Their ancestors and even their fathers left prematurely, which also made their minds mature earlier than those of later generations. Just like Su Shi, although he was not yet fifteen.
Years old, but the pressure on his shoulders is unimaginable for future generations of children of the same age.
