After Shen Mingxuan made this request, the first reaction in Wan He's mind was that slim figure. But soon Wan He came to his senses and quickly helped Shen Mingxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, up. He said: "Mingxuan doesn't have to be like this. You and I are very good friends. I can help you take care of your sister. That's no problem. As long as you trust me, your sister will be taken care of by me."
After saying this, Wan He's heart skipped a beat. Why did this sound a bit awkward? Fortunately, Shen Mingxuan had no other ideas. Instead, he saluted Wan He with a grateful face and said, "Senior brother, you are righteous. As the saying goes, no thanks can be said for a great favor, so I won’t say anything more. If senior brother is of use to me in the future, please just say it."
To be honest, Wan He really doesn’t have any other thoughts about Shen Mingxuan. He just admires Shen Mingxuan’s integrity and wants to help him. In Wan He’s view, although Shen Mingxuan has some talents, he definitely doesn’t. The method is comparable to that of Changsun Wuji. If it is a martial arts competition, let alone it. The combat effectiveness is probably at the level of Wan He. Therefore, Wan He has never thought about wooing Shen Mingxuan for his own use. However, Now that Shen Mingxuan said so, Wan He followed his words and agreed, which reassured him.
Immediately, Shen Mingxuan called his sister Shen Xinyan in again and explained the matter to Shen Xinyan. After hearing Shen Mingxuan's arrangement, Shen Xinyan's cheeks also had a blush. Then she lowered her head. He turned to Wan He Yifu and said nothing more. Everything was settled. Wan He no longer disturbed Shen Mingxuan's rest. He sent a servant to the Yue Palace to ask an imperial doctor to heal Shen Mingxuan's injuries. .I said goodbye directly and went back.
Early in the morning of the next day, Wan He sent someone directly to the official residence of the Ministry of Rites to ask for leave. Yesterday, he had originally made an appointment with Yang Lu to meet the arranged Xiang Xu. But after what happened yesterday, Wan He had no idea about these Japanese people. He was so disgusted that he still had the time to receive them. Anyway, Xu Shanxin and others were busy with the aftermath of Chun Wei at the moment and had no time to care about other things. So Wan He simply skipped work.
Wan He lived a happy life in his own home. But at the door of the official residence of the Ministry of Rites, someone was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. At the door of the official residence, two men dressed very differently from the Han people were waiting anxiously at the door of the official residence. .These two people are wearing Japanese costumes. Their hairstyle is the same as other Japanese people's "countryside surrounding the city". However, the two people are relatively tall among the Japanese people. But they are only about the same stature as ordinary Han people. They looked about the same age. They were all in their forties. One of them had a goatee, while the other had a small beard above his lips.
With a creak, the door of the official residence opened. A person walked out. It was Yang Lu, the secretary who had flattered Wan He yesterday. However, Yang Lu's expression now was very different from yesterday. His face was cold and proud. He walked up to the two Japanese people with his head held high and hummed: "You are the envoys sent by the Japanese country this time."
"Hi." The two Japanese bowed to Yang Lu at the same time. Then, the goatee said to Yang Lu: "I am the person in charge of this mission. Sister Ono. Daye came to Dongdu three years ago. .I am also a good friend of Mr. Pei Shiqing from your country. Please take care of me." Compared with the mustache yesterday, this Xiaoye girl speaks Chinese very smoothly, but her tone is still unavoidable. But this Xiaoye girl is also the same. Understand the rules of Han officialdom. First, they try to establish friendship, and then introduce a figure from Han officialdom. It can be regarded as a kind of shock.
Sure enough, after hearing the other party mention the name Pei Shiqing, Yang Lu's face changed somewhat. This Pei Shiqing now works in Honglu Temple. Although Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites are both in charge of the diplomatic affairs of the external vassal, no one is in charge of the other. Although Pei Shiqing is not the minister of Honglu Temple, he still holds an important position in Honglu Temple. At least, he is not something that an unworthy secretary like Yang Lu can afford to offend.
But even so, it does not mean that Yang Lu will be afraid of these two Japanese. He glanced at them and then said: "The reception of your Japanese delegation this time is not under the control of Honglu Temple. The Holy Emperor has already arranged this matter." Leave it to the jurisdiction of our Ministry of Rites. Even if you move Lord Pei out of this matter, it will be useless. The Ministry of Rites is busy dealing with spring affairs these days. Your affairs have been handed over to the newly appointed Lord Langwan."
"Ah." Sister Xiaoye responded immediately. Anyway, she finally knew the name of the person in charge. Sister Xiaoye immediately asked: "So, can Mr. Wan meet us conveniently now?"
Yang Lu hummed unhurriedly: "Master Wan encountered some accidents yesterday. He was frightened and felt unwell. He is resting at home today, so he did not come to the official residence."
Hearing what Yang Lu said, Ono's heart felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on her. The joy that had just been ignited was quickly extinguished. However, Ono's heart didn't mean to give up. She immediately asked. : "Then, may I ask, where is the residence of Mr. Wan? Since Mr. Wan is not feeling well, we should go and visit him."
"Hmph." In response to Miss Ono's question, Yang Lu turned his head with disdain and said, "Master Wan is a high-ranking member of the court. How can I just tell the rest of the world where he lives?" That's what he said. But Yang Lu just turned his head to the side, but his body remained motionless.
Ono had dealt with Han people a lot. She immediately understood Yang Lu's intention. She took a step forward and took out a fist-sized silver ingot from her arms. She put it directly into Yang Lu's palm. Then he said with an apologetic smile: "My lord, we only do this out of respect and concern for Lord Wan. We have absolutely no ill intentions. Please help me."
Seeing the other party being so aggressive, Yang Lu pulled up the corner of his mouth and gently weighed the silver ingot with his hand. A trace of greed and joy flashed in his eyes. Then he coldly hummed to Sister Xiaoye: "Master Wan's home He is the richest man in Luoyang. You need to find Wan Daren's family. Go to the street and ask yourself and you will know." After saying that, Yang Lu put the silver ingot into his sleeves, turned around and entered the official residence. The door was also tightly closed.
"Sir." Seeing Yang Lu leaving like this, the mustache shouted angrily at Sister Xiaoye: "This Han man is so untrustworthy. He took our money and only said such a sentence without telling us at all. Ours is the residence of Lord Wan. How can we give up?"
"Shut up, Sugigami." Ono shouted coldly. He and the Japanese named Sugigami spoke Japanese dialect, so there was no need to be taboo. He simply shouted: "He actually made it very clear. Since Mr. Wan's family is the richest man in Luoyang, it is easy to find out. However, Mr. Wan's wealth is probably not small. It will be difficult for us to impress him with money. We must first find out what his preferences are before taking action. "
"Sir." The mustachioed man named Shan Shang shouted with a face full of unwillingness: "My brother cannot die in vain. The Han who killed my brother. I must kill him to avenge my brother." Said this As he spoke, Sugishang's eyes were full of fierceness and his face was full of ferocious color.
It turns out that there was a conflict between the brother and sister Shen Mingxuan yesterday, and the mustache that was finally silenced by the eldest son Heng'an was the biological brother of Sugigami. The Sugigami family is also a big family in the Japanese country. This time the two Sugigami brothers came with Ono's sister. In the Sui Dynasty, I originally wanted to come to the colorful world of the Central Plains. But I didn't expect that something like this happened to Shan Shang's brother yesterday. Afterwards, Su Kui rushed into the inn with the Yamen of Luoyang Prefecture. They arrested the Japanese whenever they saw them. Fortunately, Ono and Sugami were out at the time, so they escaped the disaster.
After knowing what happened, Ono, who was very familiar with Han officialdom, immediately realized that this matter was not simple. I was afraid that Sugigami's brother had offended some great person. So he took Sugigami and hid in a hotel outside for the night. .Early this morning, I went to the Ministry of Etiquette to find someone to ask about the situation.
"Baga." Sister Ono heard the harsh words from Sugigami. She was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger. She just slapped Sugigami in the face. Although the Sugigami family had a high status in the Japanese country, they won the favor of the king. The trustworthy Ono girl didn't have to be afraid of him at all. After slapping him, she cursed again: "Idiot. Your brother is also an idiot. I have warned your brother a long time ago that this is not our Japanese country. Don't act too much." Zhang Yang, you have caused trouble now and you still don't know how to repent. Do you want us all to die here?"
"Hey, I realize my mistake." Although Sugami was slapped, he was still unconvinced. But he didn't dare to resist Ono, and he didn't even dare to cover his face. He bowed his head and saluted Ono, and then asked again: "Sir, we can't ignore those people arrested by Luoyang Prefecture. Don't you know Pei Shiqing very well? Why don't you go find him and try."
"Bastard. Do I still need you to teach me how to do things?" Regarding Sugami's suggestion, Ono's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, but she scolded her again. In fact, Ono knew very well in her heart that he was indeed the same as him. They had some friendship with Pei Shiqing. Back then, he took Pei Shiqing on a visit to the Japanese country. But in Pei Shiqing's eyes, he could only accommodate one Japanese leader at most. He didn't take people like him into consideration at all. He rashly went to see Pei Shiqing. I can't even see him face to face. I will only bring humiliation to myself. Thinking of this, Ono girl felt aggrieved in her heart. She glared at Sugami fiercely and shouted: "No matter what, let's try this Mr. Wan first." If it really doesn't work, think of other ways."
