"Still no news from my husband?" In the embroidered curtain, Ying Chang, who had changed into a new suit, sighed a little. Although Chang county is only two or three hundred miles away from the capital of the emperor, the Wei family's business here is only a few shops, and there are no special and powerful people. Shi Lin is a very smart person who is in charge of the industry of Changxian County, but he is not good at prying information in the war.
So Wei Changying and his party gathered up at Shi's house and spent two days in the other courtyard of Wei's house in Chang county. Shi Lin didn't find out what Wei Changying wanted to know.
However, xuanjiawei was defeated by internal strife and the remnant broke through to Yanzhou. Su Xiuming and Shen zangfeng's uncle and nephew of Yanzhou had gone for a long time. Even though Changxian is relatively remote, Shilin has heard of it. But the news was heard by a group of people who wanted to spit blood. After arriving in Changxian County, because of the initial stability, everyone finally had time to gather together and talk about the things before and after the breakthrough.
When breaking through, the royal family and nobles all went to the east gate. Wei Changying only said that because the west gate was in an emergency, so they chose the opposite east gate However, Pei Jue and Gu Xinian were both in their respective families' breakthrough candidates. They were also the valued children of their families, but they knew the inside story of the so-called xuanjiawei's reception in the East.
Because of the inside story, they are sad for those who can't go, but they are also full of expectation to be reunited with their relatives who have taken the first step According to their ideas, even when they leave the city, they are only 20 or 30 bodyguards, and they also have two women who are not good at martial arts or even horseback riding. Even if they pay more than a dozen bodyguards, they can leave. There are so many dead people in the east gate, including many royal forest soldiers, and the estimated loss is similar to them.
But now I've heard that after xuanjiawei was destroyed, I don't know that the "inside story" is a trap In that case, those who go to the East Gate
Everyone's heart, immediately covered with a layer of shadow!
Outside the embroidering curtain, Shilin carefully reported: "the little one has sent all the riders out, but within a hundred miles of the imperial capital, there are often military activities. I'm afraid that if you are caught by the soldiers, I'll be in case of being tortured to find out where the eldest lady is Although Changxian county has avoided several military disasters due to its remote location, it is not far from the imperial capital. Now there is no teacher of King Qin in this area, so... "
In fact, he didn't send people that far!
Shi Lin is the manager of the shop for the Wei family, not the dead man who trains the dark guard for the Wei family The guys under his hand are all ordinary people. Since they are ordinary people, where can they be the opponents of Rong people?
Let alone Rong people, who are the exiles and bandits who have formed the climate now, are not interested in Miss Wei?
It's not that Wei Changying's beauty is famous. Even though she didn't bring anything when she was in trouble, it's also a golden mountain that can walk by!
Shilin is not the son of the Wei family. After selling himself as a slave, he only spent more than ten years, and then climbed to the position of a county governor. Naturally, he planned to become a city governor. At present, the master's eldest daughter is in trouble. This is his chance. If you can serve the eldest lady happily, his benefits are absolutely indispensable.
But what is more important than serving a good young lady is to ensure her safety - this is the most important!
Otherwise, when the eldest lady comes to him, something happens. Not only will he have no credit, but he will not be offended by the two ladies in charge who he is not even qualified to see!
Shi Lin's orders to Wei Changying were accepted everywhere, but when he left the door, he only followed his own plan: first, all the doctors and children who had previously treated Deng xiechuan and Yange were shut up for an excuse to show their identity as defense Changying and others; then, Shi family's influence in Suoyan town was used to threaten and intimidate the whole town that no one was allowed to come The third is to ask people to quietly execute the order of Wei Changying to find out the whereabouts of the people who broke through the imperial capital and the whereabouts of Shen zangfeng.
Oh, the third most important thing is not Wei Changying's order, but the silence!
Shi Ping, the son of Shi Lin, was very worried about his father's practice: "in case the eldest lady knows..."
"The eldest lady still needs our family now, it won't do anything to us." Shi Lin smiled and taught his son, "the key is the safety of the eldest daughter! In the eyes of song Laofu and Mrs. song, we received the eldest lady and ensured her safety. We can do anything! As long as the eldest lady is good and everything wrong is secondary, it can be discussed! "
His face sank and he admonished, "on the contrary, once the eldest lady is lost, we can do nothing! So you remember, we have to take care of all the people who are sent out to search for information! Moreover, tell them that they would rather not find out the news, and never let anyone doubt that the eldest lady is in Changxian! Do you know! "
Shi Ping looked at his father and said, "yes!" with awe in his heart He added, "even the people in Suoyan town know that although a group of strangers visited our house, they left the next day. What's more, they don't dare to say it! "
"That's good." Shi Lin nodded, "I've sent someone to copy the path and report to Fengzhou at night In the future, our family will continue to work as a caretaker. In Suoyan Town, we will still seize this opportunity to rise to the top and become rich. It's all up to this time! You all have to be attentive! "Shi's family is urged by Shi Lin to seize the opportunity to make progress at all costs. In addition, Wei Changying, who was born high above, was used to the awe of his servants. Now when he left the dangerous situation, most of his mind was focused on his separated family. He didn't even think that his mother's family, an ordinary steward who didn't even have the qualification to be seen by the master's family, would dare to cheat himself, the legitimate daughter of Ruiyu hall.
It's because the Shilin family conceals the whereabouts of their passers-by, carefully and conservatively inquires about the information she wants I can't believe she's been kept in the dark.
Wei Changying listened to Shi Lin's reason and felt reasonable. He sighed, waved his hand and signaled him to go down.
Two days ago, Shilin left.
But this time, he hesitated for a moment, and bowed his hand and said: "eldest lady, my uncle's news is small and incompetent, and I haven't inquired yet. But there is a message that seems to have something to do with the dignitaries of the capital It's just a little bit of insight, and I don't know whether it's true or not? "
"What's the news?" said Wei Changying
"Yesterday afternoon, a waiter sent to inquire about my uncle's whereabouts went to the neighboring Long county. When he was at the top of a restaurant beside the road outside the city, he saw that there was something wrong with the children playing outside the restaurant, so he stopped and inquired. I didn't know but I asked about it. "
Shilin said here, with a red face, obviously this "play differently" and what he asked so that he didn't know how to describe it to Wei Chang Ying. He hesitated for a long time and realized that the long guard of the curtain was almost impatient, so he decided to go all the way to describe the details. ”
"clan?" Wei Changying frowned and said, "be careful!"
Shi Lin thought this was what you asked me to say With a dry cough, he said: "even at the end of yesterday's day, tens of horses escorted a carriage passing by, and it was just in this restaurant that they made a point. It's said that the dress of this group is simple. Even the mounts are all covered with snow and mud. They can't see what they are. They have some hidden meanings. But the eldest lady also knows that today's world It's no fault that the rich and noble people are afraid of being coveted by others from afar. So the people in the restaurant didn't care. They just served as usual. "
"It's a naughty boy in the tavern. It happened to be Go to the toilet and catch up with the two knights in that group This There was more than one place. But the two men had to drive the boy away, and he was very dissatisfied. The children in the countryside have no discipline, so... "
After a hard meal, schlinton said, "he took the slingshot that he usually used to beat birds and wanted to take advantage of the two men's toilet to get a shady hand. I don't want the little boy to go around the back and look through the gap, but I find that the bodyguards are different Although the boy is only six or seven years old, his parents are too busy to teach him. They let him run around and heard a lot A lot of bad language is to know something. So I was very surprised when I saw him. I didn't continue to seek revenge, but When the pedestrian left, he went Go to pick up the clothes and trousers of your partner to check But the guy who happened to be sent out by the small one saw it and coaxed him with some big money, and he said everything. "
“……” For a long time, there was no voice behind the embroidery.
Wei Changying looks red and white
Shilin was too embarrassed to look at his feet with his eyes.
So the master and the servant were silent for a long time, and Ying Caidao, the captain of the guard, said, "who are those who are being guarded?"
"I don't know." Although she was not cold or hot, she couldn't hear any anger. Shi Limin took a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "because the people in the carriage didn't get off the horse at all, they just asked the knight to send some hot water and soup noodles in, share Just one or two. "
Wei Changying bit his lips gently and pondered: "someone from the clan has escaped here, is it not from the east gate? If so... " Thinking of her husband's whereabouts, she trembled and prayed in secret, "but I hope it's good news!"
He said, "send someone to catch up and ask. If it's true that the emperor is coming, report the names of Shen and Wei! Please wait in place or come here for a meeting. "
Shi Lin hurriedly agreed to come down and was about to say that he had done so. He didn't want Wei Changying to suddenly think of something. He asked, "since this happened at noon yesterday, is this pedestrian in Jiuxian now? Do I remember that Weijia has some industries in Jiuxian? "
"What the eldest lady said is that the Wei family has four shops in Jiuxian. The chief manager there is Li, who is familiar with the younger one." "Shi Lin said," but I dare not disclose the whereabouts of the eldest lady, but I didn't tell the eldest Miss Li Guanshi about being in Changxian. "
"Let alone, I ask you, what are the major households in Jiuxian county?" Asked Wei Changying.
Shilin said without hesitation: "no matter Changxian or Jiuxian, they are only remote places. The so-called big families are just ordinary wealthy families, but they are not scholars. "
"For a long time, apart from the Wei family, there were other gentry's industries and management?"
"If you go back to the eldest lady, Quyin min clan also has some property, so there is a steward. No more. "
Wei Chang Ying Mi eyes: "so, if this pedestrian into the long county, ten eight. Nine is to find Li steward to settle it?"Although the clans of the six valves in the sea are not as profound and noble as those of the same people, they have been used to being superior in the past two hundred years and have been far apart from the common people.
If this pedestrian wants to settle down in Jiuxian, he will not find those rich people who are not even small scholars - not to mention staying in inns.
Because the inns in small places like Jiuxian are determined not to satisfy the real guests.
The rich of the common people are not qualified to receive them, the inn is not enough to receive them, and there is no rich Shi family mansion nearby, so you can only go back and ask for the second place, and find the servants who are in charge of the industry here These servants can manage things through the master's tutoring, but they can serve more people than the rich of the common people and the innkeeper of the inn.
Moreover, the industries under their name also belong to the owners. This is their host reception In this way, we can meet the identity of the received
It's like Wei Changying and his party. Shi's family in Suoyan town is a servant of Wei's family - but even if it's not Wei's family, it's Duanmu's family of song's money family Any scholar will go to the Shi family instead of the inn
Shi Lin also understood this and said: "I expect so But manager Li didn't know that the eldest lady was here, so he didn't report the news. "
"Then don't let anyone know I'm here!" Behind the embroidery, Wei Changying's eyes flickered with cold light and said, "first, let's find out whether these people are from the capital or not, and which gate they came from Then I know! "
