Chapter 271: Tracking

(Thank you for the tips of Star Grass 117 and Leisure Ronin, thank you.) )

Of course Su Jin is not drunk, but it is not necessarily a good thing to drink a lot, he used to fall to the ground with three cups, and he didn't have to act at all, he consciously poured himself seven or eight cups last night, but he was still sober, so he had to pretend to be drunk and dodge.

Yan Shu was right, Su Jin just didn't want to be restrained, and Su Jin was a little reluctant when he thought that he was almost unable to resist being pulled onto this boat.

Su Jin believes that at present, the three envoys Yan Shu should be most concerned about the strategy of raising food, rather than the battle of phases; As the supreme governor in charge of money and grain in the Great Song Dynasty, the great drought in the south, and the hoarding of profiteers should have been aware of it and dealt with as soon as possible, instead of rushing to find a way when it is critical, and even using such a thing as a springboard to seek higher power; From this point of view, Yan Shu is an unqualified third envoy.

What surprised Su Jin even more was that the court actually allowed the emperor to issue a ridiculous meal reduction order, which was simply outrageous, in Su Jin's view, a country relying on these indicators to solve the imperial court's plan is an extremely incompetent performance.

Everyone knows the effect of the meal reduction order, a few people will be hungry and force themselves to save food, and since the decree is promulgated, then there should be a supporting supervision and punishment measures to ensure the implementation, like the current decree, in fact, it is just a piece of paper.

Su Jin observed the reaction of the people after the meal reduction order, at first there were a few days when people were afraid that violating this order would bring disaster, it was indeed hungry for a few days, but after a few days, all this was left behind, the business of the restaurant was still hot, each family nominally had two meals, in fact, they bought a lot of snacks and pastries, although they did not use fireworks, but they still consumed food at all, and the emperor's hard work was lost.

It's all well deserved! Su Jin was annoyed by such a stupid decision, and the edict wanted to cover it up. The style of extravagance, pure nonsense, and eating an extra meal is also called extravagance, what is the need for such a world to exist.

Moreover, the worse consequences of this meal reduction order are not only the problem of hunger, but also a series of troubles if such a law is not repealed.

All this was what Su Jin wanted to say but didn't say, these words should have been mentioned to Yan Shu, but after Su Jin saw Yan Shu treating this matter as a political speculation last night, Su Jin decided not to tell him this, but to report it directly to the emperor, because it is very likely that these words he said will be forbidden by Yan Shu to report to the emperor.

Because the meal reduction order can alleviate the pressure of the food crisis to a certain extent, with this meal reduction order, the possibility of successfully surviving this crisis will be much greater, as Yan Shu, who regards this matter as political capital, it is very likely that all words and propositions that are unfavorable to the food crisis will be automatically blocked by him, as long as he can survive this crisis, he can also ignore the harm it brings.

Of course, all this is Su Jin's speculation, he just intuitively feels that Yan Shu is not the kind of person he can rely on, this person may not be disgusting, and he acts impartially, but he seems to lack some generosity and courage to take responsibility regardless of gains and losses.

From Yan Biyun's marriage contract, Su Jin was dissatisfied with him and him at that time, for the sake of his reputation and status, he allowed Yan Biyun to spoil his beauty, and even implemented a suppression policy, and the seeds of dissatisfaction in Su Jin's heart began to sprout at that time; And Bao Zheng, who was personally recommended by him, also seems to keep a certain distance from Yan Shu, and there seems to be no deeper contact except for official business, which may not be unreasonable.

Su Jin also admitted that in his heart, Yan Shu is still good to himself, not to mention what his purpose is, in the process of interacting with Su Jin, he has always been giving himself opportunities, there are many people in the world who have great ability, and people who have the ability but no opportunity to play are also a big handful, just by virtue of what he can think of Su Jin, this is kindness.

Su Jin pays attention to affection, of course he will do this errand seriously, not only to achieve the goal he wants, but also to repay Yan Shu's kindness.

As for what Yan Shu would get out of it, Su Jin would rather not think about it.

After returning to the small courtyard, Su Jin did not give Yan Biyun a chance to convey Yan Shu's words, he kept his eyes closed and snoring, until Yan Biyun helplessly explained a few words to Xiao Sui'er and left silently, Su Jin opened his eyes in the dark, the relationship between him and Yan Shu may need to be re-examined, he can't tolerate everything he has being manipulated and used by another person, even if he is Yan Biyun's uncle, the world-famous Yan Shu.

……

Time was pushed forward by an hour, and in the courtyard of Xia Mansion in Socks Lane, a small servant was reporting to Liu Binhua who was lying on the bed.

"Son, the little one followed them for an afternoon, and finally found their residence."

"Oh? Where do they live? Liu Binhua came to his senses, his half-drooping eyelids suddenly raised, and the corners of his mouth trembled nervously.

"A group of them all live in a small courtyard in Yulin Lane, a total of six men and two women, the young man who burned you is afraid that he is the head of the family, and the little one has not seen any old people. The little one secretly asked the neighbor next to him, saying that he had just moved in yesterday, and the yard was rented. ”

"Sure enough, as I expected, this kid is a foreigner, no wonder he dares to argue with his master, and his feelings are that he is a rookie who doesn't know how to trade in the market; Have you seen anyone else coming or going? For example, the eunuchs and the rich and the like. ”

"I didn't see that, but when it was dark, this Su Jin took the carriage and went out, and the small one followed for a while, and the two legs really couldn't keep up with the four legs, so he lost it."

"Fool, won't you hire a carriage to follow?"

"The little one is penniless, where did he get the money to hire a car, besides, the little one hasn't even drunk hot water for a long time, so I can't bear it."

Liu Binhua snorted, struggled to find a cloth bag under the pillow, reached in and grabbed twenty yuan, threw it on the ground and said: "Take it and buy some food, follow tomorrow, the master will almost be able to move tomorrow, this time let's bring more people, call the flower boss in Zaozi Lane, and see where this kid is going." ”

The little guy weighed the twenty money in his hand and said: "Give me some more, such a few baskets of small buns and a few bowls of spicy soup are all gone, and the little ones are all hurting all over their bodies, and they want to find someone to loosen their muscles and bones." ”

"Loosen your mother's bones! I see you want to loosen your skin! I haven't seen you like this, but you are still in the mood to go to the kiln, and you are determined to block the master, right? ”

"Master, you have injuries on your body, and you can't help but let your brothers be happy, right? In case you become paralyzed and lame one day, will your brothers follow you as a monk? Master, give some more, twenty wen, just twenty wen, the small one can give half the money, Widow Pan is a dark squatter, and it is definitely enough to go to twenty wen when there is no business in the second half of the night. ”

"Fuck you, dare to curse the master to be paralyzed, the master will beat you up first, go to the dirty widow every day, sooner or later one day the willow will come up, don't blame the master for kicking you away." Liu Binhua scolded while baring his teeth, grinning and leaning over, and felt out twenty pieces of money and smashed his head.

The little guy picked up all the hippie smiling faces, kicked them in his pocket and said, "Master, you are so lying on your stomach to recuperate, the little one went, and Ming'er appeared at the door of Su Jin's house on time in the morning; Do you know if Pan's widow is dirty or not? Could it be that the lord has also been there? ”

Liu Binhua reached out and grabbed a pillow and smashed it over, scolding: "Get out, Ming'er made a mistake, I have to cut your thing." ”

The little guy laughed, quickly dodged the pillow, turned around and walked out.

A small figure in the shadow left the side courtyard lightly, and went straight to the back building, Xia Siling was leaning on the bedside of the embroidered couch in the boudoir of the small building to read a book, the footsteps sounded, the little figure lifted the curtain and walked in quickly, and the cold wind blew the candlelight to the side.

"Buckle, do you hear anything?" Xia Siling sat up and asked.

"My nephew sent those three donkeys to keep an eye on them, and now I have heard the courtyard where Su Gongzi lives."

Xia Siling frowned and said, "What kind of news is this, it must be the Yan Mansion of Tianshuijing Hutong." ”

"No, it's a rented yard in Yulin Lane."

"Oh? It's going to hide people's eyes, and it's convenient to have a tryst, hum! Xia Siling hammered his hands on the bed a few times, then turned his head and asked, "Then didn't they say how to deal with him?" ”

"The prince said that tomorrow he can act, and he will call the boss of Zaozi Lane to look for his bad luck."

"This lazy thing will bully people, Boss Hua is the ruffian who demolished people's tofu shops at the temple fair last time, and he actually has dealings with local ruffians, it's really unseemly, I have to talk to my father about this tomorrow, otherwise our Xia family's face will be lost by him sooner or later."

"The master is drinking in Lu Xiang's mansion, and he hasn't come back yet, but the master loves his nephew so much, I'm afraid he won't listen to you."

Xia Siling sighed and said: "I only hate me as a daughter, my father has no heirs, and I want him to inherit the family business, but why is my father so confused, what can such a person do except cause trouble and ruin the family business?" It's really chilling. ”

Xiao Kou'er comforted: "Miss, don't worry, the master won't be so confused, there must be some arrangements, what can this Su Gongzi do now?" If Ming'er was beaten half to death by the young nephew, wouldn't it be very unlucky. ”

Xia Siling gritted his silver teeth and said: "He also deserves it, why did he come to the capital, and he was so ruthless, scalding people with boiling water." ”

"Miss......"

"No matter...... Sleeping, neither of them is a good thing, let them dog-eat-dog-go. Xia Siling lifted the quilt, retracted into the quilt and fell asleep.

Xiao Kou'er blinked, stood for a long time, sighed, blew out the candle, and went out lightly.
