Chapter 350: Asking for help in the middle of the night
bang bang bang
It was a good time to sleep in the dead of night, so he was suddenly awakened by the knock on the door. Xu Xun's first reaction was to rub his eyes and look at the sky. He found that it was still dark outside, and it was obviously not dawn. He was suddenly confused.
After a while, he came back to his senses from the sleepy haze, casually put on a piece of clothing, pulled on his shoes and walked out.
Until then, he secretly considered whether he should not be so stubborn and clear out all the girls at night, but send someone in the outside room, otherwise if the winter came, he would get up from the warm bed with such a trick.
Opening the door would be too much torture, and the cold wind would freeze him to death as soon as the door was opened.
"Who is it in the middle of the night?"
As soon as Xu Xuncai opened the door, he saw A Bao holding a lantern. He couldn't help being surprised. You know, the second door is closed after nightfall. Even if A Bao is still young, he can't come in easily. Now
The little guy could actually come and knock on his door, so he decided that it was something serious. Taking a deep breath, he simply dragged the person in.
"Master, it's Li Qianhu from Beizhen Fusi who came in person!" Abao told the news directly. Seeing that Xu Xun was really surprised, he lowered his voice and explained, "Li Qianhu didn't bring any entourage.
But wearing a hood, he went to the door to ask for an audience, saying that he had something important to see the young master. Fortunately, Uncle Jin Liu was on duty tonight, so he went out to take a look and called me up, asking me to come in and report to the young master."
Xu Xun felt his heart skip a beat and hurriedly asked, "Who knows about his arrival?"
"Brother Qiao and Brother Liu know that they are always at the door. Even if Li Qianhu is wearing a hood, they might be able to recognize him. After all, Li Qianhu has been here before. There is also Uncle Jin Liu and the second one who is in charge.
Aunt Ying, the gatekeeper, and Sister-in-law Xu, who is the gatekeeper in the yard, but Aunt Ying and Sister-in-law Xu probably only know that there are people who are looking for the young master in the middle of the night. As for the other people, I didn’t bump into them all the way here..."
"But your banging and banging on the door is so loud that there will be a reaction in the yard."
Xu Xun listened carefully to what was going on outside, and sure enough he heard voices talking in the east and west rooms. He couldn't help but smile. Seeing that Abao suddenly realized it, he hurriedly raised the lantern and planned to blow out the candles inside. He waved his hand to stop him.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he hit
He opened the door. Sure enough, there were two big maids in clothes and uncombed hair outside. They saw him and hurriedly saluted. At this time, he said lightly: "It's okay. Someone is looking for me outside in an emergency. You all go back to sleep. I just want to go back to bed."
Just pretend it doesn’t happen.”
The girls in the yard all knew that Xu Xun meant what he said. The two of them looked at each other and agreed quickly, and immediately went back to the penthouse, one on the left and the other on the right. At this time, Xu Xun closed the door and asked A Bao to help put all the clothes, shoes, socks and belts together.
After being dressed neatly, the master and servant left the yard one after another.
After night falls, only the bright tile lamps on both sides of the road remain in the uncle's residence. The lights everywhere are extinguished. Walking on it gives you a sense of darkness and despair. However, the road is extremely peaceful, and not even a person stops to ask why.
None. Knowing that A Bao had just come in and alerted people, outsiders avoided him. Xu Xun was satisfied. When he saw an older servant woman saluting at the second door, he nodded gently as he passed by.
nod.
"You don't have to leave the door open."
These five short words made Aunt Ying's heart skip a beat. People who came to see the young master in the middle of the night were always those who were close to the young master, and there must be something important. And what big thing actually required the young master to go out in the middle of the night?
This is even more heartwarming
She was frightened. So she lowered her head and agreed repeatedly, but it was not until the two figures in front and back were gone that she hurriedly started to close the door. The copper door was bolted and locked tightly with a big padlock.
She immediately let out a long breath.
No matter what, I have to warn those close to me tomorrow not to gossip about this matter!
At midnight, although the waiter had already sent hot water to the master room for the two generations for midnight use, it was closed early. As for the kitchen, the stove was also turned off, and all the snacks and the like were cold.
In addition, Li Yifeng didn't want to disturb too much at this time. When he was sitting in the small flower hall, he didn't care that he didn't even have a sip of hot water or a snack. He just waited patiently, and from time to time he would be distracted and think of the previous experience in Beizhen Fusi.
He didn't know how long he waited for that interrogation, but he finally heard the creak of the door...
"Master Xu is finally here!"
"It's so late at night, you can't wake up in such a short time. You should be lucky that it's not the middle of winter, otherwise you would have to wait in a room so cold it could freeze for at least an hour." After joking, Xu Xun stood opposite Li Yifeng.
After sitting down, knowing that Abao was guarding the door and there was no need to worry, he asked directly, "What brings you to come to me so late?"
"Of course it's a big deal!" Li Yifeng tapped the armrest with his fingers habitually, and then said word by word, "When we were drinking before, didn't you ask me to send someone to follow that Zhang Cai? Today
I learned that someone went to visit Ma Wensheng, so I simply followed him in person. Who knew that he came from Ma Wensheng's house?
When I came out, I actually encountered an incredible show! Do you know that you just directly named a Tatar spy, the person who once threatened Xu Jing, and then you said to me
This person is probably the missing person from Xichang named Jiang Shanfei. He is actually planning to rob Zhang Cai!"
"Jie Dao? How could it be Jie Dao?"
"It's just impossible, that's why it's unbelievable. This guy is very stubborn, and after twenty bucks, he insisted that he saw Zhang Cai as rich and planned to rob him, so that I could expose that he had once been a bannerman of the West Factory and a member of the Ministry of Punishment.
Catch the head, and he will die immediately without making a sound."
Hearing this, Xu Xun's face couldn't help but look strange: "Speaking of Lao Li, you won't tell me that Jin Yiwei can only use the board to deal with such a stubborn guy?"
"Didn't Master Ye not allow us to use those messy methods?" Li Yifeng didn't notice Xu Xun's sudden change of title to him, and curled his lips angrily, "This Beizhen Fusi is under the control of Master Ye.
The Ministry of Punishment is still upright, except for the boards and whips, even
The most common finger-blocking sticks are not allowed to be used. In addition, I see that guy can survive the torture, and I am stubborn. I can't kill him, so I can only take my time and torture him slowly. But I am not willing to do it.
If you say anything to boast, he will definitely attract something in a few days."
"Hmm... that's fine, as long as this matter must be kept secret, the news must not be leaked."
"Hey, I know, Mr. Ye used to respect those elders so much, but I think they are all sanctimonious people!"
Xu Xun knew that Li Yifeng was resentful because Liu Jian and others had tried to drive away wolves and devoured tigers, and planned to let Xu Xun and Ye Guang compete for the royal guards without him having time to attend to them, so he felt resentment in his heart, so he said casually: "The matter has not been investigated clearly.
There is no need to be too arbitrary before. I know this. By the way, why are you so anxious to come here just for such a great career?"
"Master Xu is a sensible person after all! It would be fine if Jiang Shanfei was guilty of this matter, but the one he wanted to attack was Zhang Cai. I have heard of this Zhang Cai. He has good talent, but his temper is stubborn.
Because people accused him of reversing the selection method, he would rather leave the selection committee than become a doctor and go home to recuperate.
How do you think he would react when this kind of thing happens now? I'm afraid that he will just send a memorial tomorrow, and then there will be chaos and chaos, all of which are out of control. So I live and die
I have invited someone to Beizhen Fusi, and as for persuading him, after thinking about it, you are the only one who can take action."
As for whether there were any other means mixed in the word "please", Xu Xun couldn't help but have a headache when he saw Li Yifeng suddenly regaining his playful smile. However, when he just came out of the house tonight, he had already done it
He was ready to be taken away. After shaking his head, he could only sigh and said: "I have already paid this, how can I still say not to go?"
When night falls, most of the yamen on both sides of Qianbubi have turned off their lights. Even the officials on night duty are not sleeping all night. After all, it is rare these days to open the city gate at night to report in, so most of them go there at this time.
I dreamed that Duke Zhou was gone.
Only the Jinyiwei North Town Fusi on the west side of the Daming Gate is still brightly lit, and people come and go from time to time. This common situation does not attract many people's attention. After all, the Jinyiwei backstreet has always been avoided by idlers.
No one wants to mess with it.
At the second moment of Chouzheng, two riders, one in front and one behind, turned into the back street of Jinyiwei. Immediately, several people came out from Fusi in Beizhen. They each led their horses well-trained and walked in. They saw that their lord had brought back one more person.
But he didn't even ask. Xu Xun, who was also wearing a hood, didn't look back until he was taken to the front of a room by Li Yifeng.
"It's just inside. I'm too lazy to deal with the Confucian scholars who talk about truth among women. I'm so tired! You go in by yourself, and I'll personally guard the outside."
As soon as Xu Xun, who pushed the door open, crossed the threshold and entered, he heard the man holding the scroll say without raising his head: "Can you sir tell me when you will let me go? Even if that person is a key criminal being pursued by the Jin Yiwei,
But you have nothing to do with me, and you have detained me, an official of the imperial court, until now without any orders. Your master is really very courageous!"
"No matter how courageous Li Qianhu is, he is not as courageous as you, Mr. Zhang. How can you still read a book after being robbed and killed like this?"
Xu Xun replied with a smile. Seeing Zhang Cai suddenly raised his head and showed a surprised expression after recognizing him, he cupped his hands and said: "The incident happened suddenly and it was of great importance, so Li Qianhu only
Can you please come down first, Mr. Zhang? If not, I’m afraid this case would have been completely exposed early tomorrow morning?”
PS: Various certificate errors appeared when I opened IE early in the morning. I was dumbfounded. I checked it on Baidu and found that it was a very simple problem. I don’t know when my computer time changed to June 1, 2011. It was inexplicable.
A year has passed, it would be really great, oh...Finally, please ask for a guaranteed monthly pass at the beginning of the month!. ).
