Chapter 41: Darkness Under the Lamp

Sleepiness in spring, sleepiness in autumn, and nap in summer refer to sleepiness problems that people often make during the transition of seasons. In the afternoon, at the entrance of Xu’s small courtyard, a young man was sitting there with a small bench and looking eagerly at the intersection.

While he nodded his head gently from time to time, he almost fell on his knees several times. But every time a car passed by, he would immediately wake up with excitement, but every time he raised his head, he would droop his head again in disappointment. This was better.

It took him a while to come back to his senses.

He did this over and over again no matter how many times, when he instinctively raised his head again, he saw an extremely familiar old carriage. In an instant, he almost jumped up from the bench and rushed straight away.

He went over. However, as soon as he pulled up the car curtain, he saw a man with a smooth head running out. He ignored this guy and looked inside the car again, but he saw that it was completely empty. There was no one anywhere.

"Where is the young master?"

Jin Liu shouted to the old horse pulling the cart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the young master will be back soon!"

Hearing this, Ruisheng immediately became listless, and with a slight murmur, he went back to sit down on his original seat dejectedly, ignoring anyone who said anything. Jin Liu was used to his attitude, and saw Huitong looking at the little guy.

This looked funny, so he coughed dryly and said: "Leave it to him. This kid has only been with the young master for more than a month, but he is so stubborn. When asked about his homesickness, he always shakes his head. I didn't believe it before, but in this world,

There are born loyal servants, but now I can’t even believe it.”

Huitong was amazed when he heard what he said and saw Jin Liuzi going to the stable to pack up the carriage, wash and feed the horses. He thought it was nothing, so he simply went to the door and stood leaning against the door frame, chatting with Ruisheng.

The guy ignored him at all. It was hard to answer even one sentence out of ten, but he still enjoyed it. Just asking questions, he looked Ruisheng up and down, gradually showed a thoughtful expression, and patted him as if he was familiar with it.

Paidada was joking with others. After a long time, he left Ruisheng and turned around to walk in. When he reached the second door, he turned around and looked back.

Ruisheng couldn't remember how many cars he saw passing by in front of the door, and he even saw the fat man he had met twice yesterday. He steeled himself to answer him when the young master didn't come back, and he almost fell asleep again.

He had just been awakened by the sound of galloping horse hooves. When he was sleepy and saw a familiar figure jumping out of the car, he almost instinctively rubbed his eyes, then jumped up and ran up.

Xu Xun came out of the Nancheng Army and Horse Department, and first took Wang Shikun's car to transfer to Yingtian Mansion Office. He lingered at Xu Tiao's place for a while before returning. This trip was sent by Xu Tiao's car, along with the clan meeting.

He also told him what happened. At this time, when he got off the bus, he rewarded the coachman with more than ten cents and saw that he was leaving happily. Then he turned to look at Ruisheng. Seeing that the little guy's face was full of worry,

He habitually patted the little guy on the head, and then smiled and said: "Don't worry, isn't this a good start?"

Ruisheng then grinned and followed Xu Xun inside, saying: "Master, last time you asked me to buy the cloth to make clothes, I have already made them. I got a total of four cotton shirts before I used them.

Less than one-fifth, there is still a lot left, enough to make a few more autumn clothes, I put them all in the box, so they can be used next time..."

No matter in his past life or in this life, Xu Xun had no experience at all about these trivial things, so when he heard the little guy talking, he nodded almost without thinking. When Rui Sheng mentioned that Wu Yuanwai came again

, he suddenly stopped, thinking that although Wu Shouzheng was a typical person who used it according to the wind, he was very good at using it. After thinking about it, he gently pressed the Fu Rong famous tattoo in his arms.

, a trace of caution appeared on his face.

For a person with a high position like Fu Rong, even if he really saved this person's close relatives, it might be possible to send someone to investigate his background, but it would never be enough to meet him in person, let alone send such a person to him.

A famous tattoo! Therefore, try not to use this thing if you can. Thinking about it, there is a high possibility that people are still watching his movements. If he wants to get rid of the current predicament and take the opportunity to fight for the future, he must try his best.

Let's do this thing more beautifully. But what is the big one planning in his heart?

During a lunch with Wang Shikun, Xu Xun only had a few bites before being disturbed by monk Huitong. Then he declined Wang Shikun's invitation and went to the government office to have a good time with Wei Snake. Now that he is back, it is natural

He was hungry. He asked Mrs. Jin Liu to make a bowl of noodles to make up for the meal. He wiped them out three times, five times and two times. After walking around the room a few times, he suddenly went to the east room, polished half an inkstone, and took out a small piece of noodles.

I just took the pen in my left hand and dipped it in ink on the paper. I thought for a moment and started writing quickly.

"Xu Xiong Tai Jian."

After writing these four words, he paused for a moment, and then continued writing with concentration. He actually wrote a letter to Xu You in the tone of the uncle he had fabricated. The letter did not mention anything about last night's incident.

The strange fire was just a brief mention of Xu Bian's help in his own distress. He praised Mr. Xu's righteousness and boldness, and then mentioned that Mr. Xu had mentioned that this trip was difficult and dangerous before leaving, but if

What he gained would be enough to bring glory to the family, but it was a pity that he had not heard from his old friend for many years. In the end, he added a few meaningful words.

"I heard that Zhao Qin in Jurong has many interests in the affairs of the Xu family. The Xu family is governed by the Xu family, so why should it be handled by outsiders? Although the Zhao family in Jurong is a rich family, how can it be involved in the internal affairs of the Xu family? Brother Bian once praised Brother Xu highly.

He is a man of great talents and high righteousness, but the family members are descended from direct descendants, but the old clan still refuses to delegate power, causing the Xu family in Taiping to collapse. Now that my brother is very successful in his official career, would you rather let your clan be a constraint?"

After drying the ink-stained piece of paper, he took out the envelope and put it in it. He then asked Ruisheng to invite Huitong. He first mentioned to him that the Nancheng Army and Horses Department had already taken care of it, and they would definitely not let Xu.

After Liang endured hardship, he handed over the letter: "You try to send this letter to the east gate of Yingtianfu Yamen and name it to my sixth uncle. You just went there today, so try not to let anyone recognize you."

Huitong was so slick, he could taste it just after hearing it, and he immediately laughed and said: "What Xu Qishao means is that as long as no one recognizes me, it doesn't matter whether I alert people who shouldn't be alerted."

?”

This shrewd thief monk! Xu Xun sighed secretly in his heart, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes, you have to be public, but you have to be moderate. The great monk must have a good grasp of this."

Huitong smiled, immediately put the letter in his pocket and walked out without saying a word. When he came to the door, he suddenly stopped, looked back at Xu Xun in front of the desk, and then said without thinking:

"Xu Qishao, you guys in the Xu family will regret it sooner or later if they know that you are really cornered like this! But don't just focus on the troubles outside. Since ancient times, there have been things that are dark under the lamp.

The truth is, you should pay more attention to the people around you."

Dark under the lamp? Who is this guy talking about?

Seeing the door curtain fall and hearing these specious words, Xu Xun wanted to use his brain more, but from last night to today, from seeing Fu Rong to coming back to encounter the fire and the many aftermaths, he had not slept well. At this time

Not only was his head unable to move, but he was too lazy to lift a finger. So, thinking about waiting for Huitong to come back before asking, he simply went to bed, and fell asleep in a moment.

He didn't know how long it took before he was woken up by a call in his ears. When he opened his eyes, he saw Monk Huitong standing on the bedside with his arms folded. The sun outside the window had already moved to the west. Hui Tong, who was dressed in short clothes

Tong coughed slightly, and then said with a half-smile: "Xu Qishao, I have done what you asked me to do. The letter was safely delivered to Mr. Xu Liu, but just before that, a man came from the east gate.

Xin Menzi was being unruly, so we made trouble for a while, and I think the family in Xu’s house already knew about it.”

Seeing that Xu Xun just nodded lazily, he remembered the content of the letter he had peeped into, and finally couldn't help but marveled: "I can't tell Xu Qishao that you have such ability, then Xu Ba is talking about it to the neighbors.

Shibo, you actually made it up!"

From the moment he entrusted Huitong to do this, Xu Xun knew that the monk would most likely be able to get the job done, but he would probably not let him peek into the content of the letter. Therefore, when the other party revealed the truth, he didn't even bat an eyelid.

After blinking, he neither admitted nor denied, but just yawned and said, "Just send it to me."

Huitong has traveled around the world for half his life and has seen a lot about people with slippery hands. At this moment, he was angry for the first time: "Xu Qishao, can you trust me so much? If I spread the news, your reliance will be instantaneous.

It disappeared in a matter of seconds.”

"It's up to you." Xu Xun slowly got out of bed and stretched, then looked at Huitong and said, "It doesn't matter if the reliance disappears, but Wang Shikun is the real deal. Since you are well-informed, why don't you go and inquire.

I want to ask, since he is the uncle of the Duke of Wei, how could he, who was running around in Jinling City, come to my sixth uncle's place and wait to apologize to me?"

Seeing that the joke on Huitong's face froze, he asked with a smile: "I would like to ask, what you just said is dark under the lamp, presumably it is not referring to Jin Liu and his wife, is it possible that Ruisheng's family

What joints does the head have?”

"It turns out that Xu Qishao, you don't know everything about astronomy and geography." Huitong snorted angrily, and then said calmly, "Go and ask your little boy servant yourself. What happened to Xu Ba?"

The crime he committed is just a small matter, and others can only make a fuss about the punishment. As for him... although it is mostly his fault, but if things go wrong, he will not die alone!"
