Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Chapter 543: Go shopping in the post house [Thank you! Goodbye! Owes 40k]

"Master, is that that?"

Xu Zaijing asked softly while standing by the wooden fence.

Under candlelight,

Uncle Yin nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "It's her."

After thinking about Juanxiu's handwriting on the note, Xu Zaijing did not ask his master how he judged it.

After patting Li Ju's neck gently, Yin Bo limped towards Xu Zaijing.

Out of the stable,

Yin Bo walked to Xu Zaijing and stood next to him, letting Xu Zaijing help him untie the collar of his winter coat, and said:

"She has been in the Shenzhai compound for a long time. She doesn't know Jinger, you and Qingyun know the whole story of what happened back then, nor does she know the relationship between you and the Imperial City Secretary. She thinks things are too simple!"

"Alas!" Uncle Yin sighed again: "You were so rash as to use a note written with your left hand as a warning."

Xu Zaijing put away his shirt, looked at Master and said, "Master, the most important thing is that she doesn't know that the person who can tell the characters on her left hand is still alive."

Uncle Yin, who was about to take a step, froze there. After a while, he slowly nodded.

The master and apprentice talked as they walked.

"Master, you also know calligraphy. You must have seen from the handwriting that the person who wrote it must have been very anxious at the time."

"Um."

"Brother Cai Zhao just said that since he chose to secretly send a message to Qingyun, he may have good intentions, but he has some scruples in his heart and does not want others to know his identity. Or he may have malice, because his enemy has spread suspicions, which makes me prepare for it day and night and is exhausted."

After saying that, Xu Zaijing frowned, with a worried look in his eyes.

Yin Bo nodded, tilted his head and looked at his disciple's expression with his single eye, and said, "Jing'er, do you have some concerns in your heart?"

Xu Zaijing nodded:

"Master, please let Miss Qin know and remind Qingyun to be careful. The news probably comes from Dongchang Houfu or Anguo Gongfu."

"Disciple is afraid of naming these two families directly. If Brother Zhao directly goes to investigate the two families, will it implicate Miss Qin?"

"I didn't say that others kindly reminded us, but we want to repay kindness with enmity."

After saying that, Xu Zaijing looked at the master again.

Uncle Yin shook his head: "Jing'er, you think too much."

Xu Zaijing: "Master, but I heard from my father that Qingyun's appearance is somewhat similar to that of you when you were young, and before Qingyun's child was born, Miss Qin also gave her something."

Uncle Yin waved his hand and said, "Jing'er, you think the Imperial City Secretary is too miserable, and you think some people are too smart."

Seeing Xu Zaijing's puzzled look, Uncle Yin had a look of reminiscence in his eyes and said, "Humph! None of the Qin family members know what her temper is."

Xu Zaijing looked at his master and nodded.

In fact, Xu Zaijing himself had some opinions about Xiao Qin in his previous life: This one was actually more like a miserable, dark version of Minglan.

They are also calculating, patient, forbearing, decisive, and very good at disguising themselves.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are weak and have no independent opinions. They are fair in dealing with things and look like little lambs being slaughtered.

If Xiao Qin's opponent in the previous life was not the two protagonists, it would have been the wife who had her son ascend the throne, retired with great achievements, and was well-known for her kindness and beauty.

After Xu Zaijing was stunned for a moment, he rolled his eyes and said, "Master, are you saying that no one would guess that it was this person who sent us the warning?"

Uncle Yin nodded.

"Then, my disciple will know what's going on."

"Well, go ahead."

Xu Zaijing nodded and continued: "Master, my disciple will find a way to repay this favor."

"good."

Inside the wooden house,

Looking at Xu Zaijing who opened the door and entered the house, Zhaomeifeng asked:

"Brother Jing, have you ever thought of who sent the letter?"

Xu Zaijing shook his head melancholy and said:

"Brother Zhao, there are a lot of people who have enmity with me in the past few years! For example, the Qin family of Dongchang Hou, their family Qin Chihan, isn't it because of my lameness?"

"And the heir apparents of those two palaces were shot through the shoulders."

"When the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin came to Beijing, I also had conflicts with several of the sons of Duke An Guo."

"As well as the group of people who came to Beijing before Bai Gao, I beat them up several times when they were under Jinglongmen."

After Zhao Meifeng glanced sideways at Xu Zaijing, he pretended to be a little sad and sighed:

"Yes, and Beiliao's previous plans in several military states in the north were also disrupted by Brother Jing."

"When you think about it, it's really hard to find."

After saying that,

Looking at Xu Zaijing who was nodding his head, Zhaomeifeng glared at Xu Zaijing and said, "I said so, do you really nod?"

"Brother Jing, just because of our friendship over the years of fighting side by side, you still won't tell the truth, right?"

Looking at Xu Zaijing's stunned expression, Zhaomei Feng continued: "The way you came out of the cabin just now, you almost had 'I know who sent the letter' written all over your face!"

Xu Zaijing opened his mouth to speak.

Zhao Meifeng said solemnly: "Think it over before you tell me!"

Xu Zaijing did not continue. After thinking for a while, he said: "Brother Zhao, to be honest, there are two families in Beijing who are really likely to deal with me."

Zhao Meifeng nodded and signaled Xu Zaijing to continue.

"One is Dongchang Houfu, and the other is Anguo Gongfu."

"What's the reason?"

Xu Zaijing shook his head.

"Can't tell?"

Xu Zaijing nodded: "There is a hidden secret in it, I really can't say more."

"Okay, then the secretary will check these two families first."

As he spoke, Zhaomeifeng stood up and looked at Xu Zaijing, who had a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face and said:

"It's hard to tell, brother, I understand. But no matter what, until the matter is clarified, Brother Jing, you'd better go out less and eat less food from outside."

"The department will rearrange the officials who have been withdrawn tonight."

"Also, even the chef in the house should pay more attention when buying things."

"Thank you, Brother Zhao, for reminding me. I saved it."

Zhaomei Feng nodded, took the cloak handed over by Qingyun, and said, "But don't be too frightened to eat because everyone is surrounded by soldiers."

Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, you look down on me too much."

night,

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty,

Concubine Rong’s bedroom,

The emperor in pajamas listened to Zhaomeifeng's words and said, "This guy didn't say why he doubted the Qin family and the Tan family?"

"Your Majesty, yes."

Looking at the Zhaomei Peak not far away, which was bowing and holding hands, the emperor somehow thought of the snow lion outside Concubine Rong's bedroom.

"snort!"

The emperor snorted softly and said:

"Go through the errands that the two families have done in the past few months and see if there is anything wrong."

Just as Zhaomeifeng was about to respond, the emperor waved his hand and said:

"No! Check out the situation of all the houses that Xu Wulang told you! A legitimate son of the Hou family who has made great contributions to the country must not let any accidents happen to him."

"yes!"

When Zhaomeifeng left the dormitory,

The emperor sat behind the desk and said softly: "With just a warning note, I am making too much of a fuss."

The chief minister bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I think this is nothing to make a fuss about!"

"Talk about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty! What Xu Family Wulang and Chief Zhao said today about their feud with those families during the festival is not nonsense!"

"Most of the brothers from the Xungui family in Beijing are arrogant! When they are young, it is the time when they are in full swing."

"And Xu Jiawulang has made great contributions to the country many times, and his skills are extremely good!"

"If someone really seeks revenge and offends Xu Jiawulang, maybe Xu Jiawulang will get someone's life on his hands, that would be bad!"

The emperor shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully:

"Anyone who is well-informed knows what this kid did in Baigao and Beizhou. If anyone dares to find trouble with him, I will take a closer look."

After saying that,

The emperor got up and prepared to go to bed.

Just took two steps,

A female official stepped in from outside the room.

"What's wrong?" the chief minister next to the emperor asked in confusion.

The female officer bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Miyagi Imperial Guards on duty have sent in two urgent reports, saying that it is a matter of great importance."

The chief minister glanced at the emperor, and when he saw the emperor nodded, he waved his whisk and said, "Hurry and pass it in."

"yes."

The female officer turned around and walked quickly outside.

The emperor also sat back on the throne.

After a while,

The urgent report reached the emperor's hands,

The chief internal officer dismissed the female officer,

The emperor on the dragon throne read the contents of the two urgent reports, took a deep breath, held one of the urgent reports, and said: "Oh, this urgent report came in time."

Looking up at the chief internal officer, the emperor said: "Tell Zhaomeifeng not to investigate for now! Read these two urgent reports before talking."

"yes."

Zhaomei Peak has not yet left the palace city.

Then the palace official caught up with him and gave him instructions, and also received two urgent reports.

After reading it under the light of a lantern, a sneer appeared on Zhaomeifeng's lips: "Smart man."

night,

The night sky after the snow was surprisingly clear.

The stars in the sky are twinkling,

Although there is no moonlight,

But the white snow reflected the starlight, and I could barely see.

Quyuan Street,

Yong Yi Hou Mansion,

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

In the huge courtyard, most of the rooms had their candles out and were in darkness.

Xu Zaijing also fell asleep early.

In the warm bedroom,

Qingcao walked in holding a candlestick.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Zaijing's voice sounded from behind the bed curtain.

"Sir, are you still awake?"

"You woke up when you came in."

"Oh! It's a letter from the concierge in the front yard. Mom Xia just picked it up."

"Ugh!"

The bed curtains were lifted,

Xu Zaijing sat by the bed, put on his slippers, and said, "Let me take a look."

Qingcao quickly lit the candle on the table. The light emitted by the candle was much brighter than the one in Qingcao's hand.

Xu Zaijing also walked to the table, opened the envelope and read it.

While reading the letter, Xu Zaijing also took the teacup of warm water handed over by Qingcao.

I read ten lines at a glance by candlelight.

The letter was written by Zhao Meifeng, and the general content is that the fourth son of the Tan family of An Guogong, who serves in the Longwei Army, has delivered an urgent report to the palace tonight!

The urgent report said that the spies planted by the Long Guard Army in Wuyou Cave sent out a message that a thief secretly offered a reward for Xu Zaijing. The bounty for wounding and killing was so high that it was staggering.

Along with this urgent report from the Tan family, there was also a report from Mr. Gu Lingu, the governor of Kaifeng. The content was similar to the urgent report from the Long Wei Army.

This Lord Gu Lingu is a good friend of Zhuang Xuexue.

The Kaifeng Mansion also wanted to get rid of the thieves in Wuyou Cave in Bianjing quickly. After all, people who were stolen or robbed would go to the government to report.

Finally, the place to exchange the bounty was Beiliao's post house in Beijing.

Zhaomeifeng's letter said that although the two reports were sent to the palace together, he went to Kaifeng Mansion to inquire and found that Kaifeng Mansion received the information two hours later than the Tan family.

The fourth son of An Guogong's Tan family also asked for punishment in the urgent report. The reason is that he drank and had a banquet at home after the snow today, which almost delayed the official business.

After reading the letter,

Xu Zaijing put the letter paper against the candle flame.

Feeling this scene, Qingcao lowered himself and picked up the copper basin that was placed on the ground and filled with water to increase the humidity in the house.

After the letters burned up in Xu Zaijing's hands, they all fell into the copper basin.

"Go to sleep!"

After Xu Zaijing finished speaking, he walked back to the bed.

soon,

Xu Zaijing's courtyard fell into darkness again.

At the gate of Yongyihou Mansion,

The candles in the two large lanterns were still burning, and the light of the candles 'drawn' two circles of light on the ground.

On the street not far away,

A row of ten government officials wearing ear protection gloves and winter clothes, holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, walked in order.

Beside the team, there were two hounds on leashes accompanying them.

The sound of these ten people walking together seemed quite significant in the quiet and cold night.

The concierge of the Xu family did not open the door when he heard the commotion.

Instead, a ladder was set up on the wall next to the gate, and a torch was held up from the wall to look at the situation outside the gate.

Wait for the Yamen servant to pass by.

The concierge of the Xu family said loudly: "What are the arrests going on tonight?"

"The governor has ordered me to patrol near Quyuan Street tonight to prevent thieves." Someone from the government office said with a white breath and cupped his hands.

"I see, it's hard work catching the head!" The Xu family's concierge shouted from the wall.

The officials waved their hands and continued walking forward.

Looking at the people leaving in the distance,

The concierge of the Xu family rolled his eyes on the wall, got off the ladder, and walked towards the second door.

Looking towards the inner courtyard from the roof of the second gate,

The house in the mother's courtyard turned on a light,

Then a lantern came towards the second door.

soon,

The concierge of the Xu family returned to the front door, and then a lot of debris, including two braziers and a lot of firewood, were hung from the wall to the street.

Another porter boy used a ladder to cross the wall, held a torch, used kerosene to light the charcoal in the brazier, set up a shelf on it, and hung a kettle filled with water on the fire.

Then the tents were set up again.

When the moon slowly appears in the night sky,

Kaifeng Prefecture's Yamen officers patrolled past again holding torches.

Seeing the hot fire and hot water in the tent at the entrance of Xu's house, the government officials stepped towards it.

The leading yamen servant also came to the front door and said a few words to the concierge of the Xu family inside.

After warming themselves up in the tent and changing the water hyacinth with hot water, the patrolling government officials started patrolling again.

The bright moon hangs in the west,

The sky is dark,

In the tent in front of the Xu family gate,

There was a government official sitting on a bench inside with a hunting dog.

The firewood in the brazier was still emitting red light and emitting heat, and the sound of a watchman chiming the time could be heard in the distance. It sounded like it had just arrived at Mao hour (five o'clock in the morning).

Suddenly,

The hounds in the tent pricked up their ears,

This woke up the tired government officials in the tent, and then everyone looked at each other warily.

The servant leading the hound walked out of the tent, took off his ear protection and listened carefully.

Subsequently,

The yamen servant looked at the high wall of Yongyi Hou Mansion in confusion. After listening for a while, the yamen servant walked back to the tent and said, "It sounds like someone is riding a horse in the Hou Mansion. It should be the soldiers of the Hou Mansion who got up early for morning exercises."

"Morning exercise so early? Amazing!"

Everyone in the tent nodded.

"Thanks to this tent fire pit, otherwise I don't know how I would have survived last night."

"How do you survive? Let's go to the patrol shop not far away."

"If something happens during the patrol period, we will have to walk away without food."

Talking

Someone came not far away carrying a lantern.

The government servant who walked out of the tent looked at the tall figure of the man and said quickly: "Who is he?"

"I am the personal attendant of Wu Lang of the Hou Mansion."

"Oh! It turns out to be Manager Yin."

Qingyun came over and said a few words to the government officials, and then entered the Hou Mansion through the opened side door.

When the sky is dark,

Although there is only a fish belly white color in the east,

But under the reflection of the snow, the sky was much brighter.

The Kaifeng government officials and Xu family concierge on duty expressed their thanks and prepared to leave.

We haven't gone far yet,

He heard the sound of horse hooves behind him.

When everyone looked back, they saw a young man riding a magnificent horse, wearing a winter coat and holding a long spear. There was a strong bow in the bow pouch in front of him, and he was riding the horse with several tubes of feather arrows in front and back of the saddle.

"I've seen Goro."

The leading yamen servant bowed and cupped his hands, exhaling whitely.

The tall and handsome little Liju stopped close by with a white breath coming from his nose.

Xu Zaijing, who was above, nodded and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work."

All the government officials said they dare not.

When Xu Zaijing was about to pass by,

The leader of the Yamen said: "Wulang, what do you want?"

"I'm going to visit the Beiliao Posthouse."
