Chapter Twenty-Nine: An Errand
Cheng Xiaolian, lying on the bed, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, even though he lived in that era of information explosion, but those methods were either unruly, or too unconventional, which gave him a headache.
If he wants to get Zhu Shaoxiong out of that house, he must have a way, but it will be difficult to get Zhu Guozhi to acquiesce, if he provokes Zhu Guozhi, his little life will be thrown here.
It's just that his identity is too embarrassing, and if he wants to discuss with Zhu Guozhi, he probably can't get to Zhu Guozhi's eyes, let alone let him listen to his words.
However, there is no endless road, and at this time, something happened in the house.
The slave who was responsible for pouring night incense for Zhu Guozhi was bought by people outside, and when he went to deliver the toilet at night, he actually hid a knife in the toilet and wanted to assassinate Zhu Guozhi, but his skills were really not enough, and even the maid ring who opened the door only stabbed one arm, and Zhu Guozhi's face was taken down without even seeing it.
The first trial was good, it turned out to be a literati in Jiangnan, who sold his property, came to Yunnan with thousands of mountains and rivers, and then made the silver to get this messenger, just to avenge his comrades in Jiangnan.
Zhu Guozhi is so angry, he is just greedy for silver, and his subordinates are greedy for silver and almost send their lives into it, which is simply intolerable, so after investigating to the end, he beat the slave involved in this matter and blasted out of the house.
Annoyed, he remembered something: "Wasn't the slave who poured night incense in the past very good, who changed it for me without authorization?" ”
The second master hurriedly stood up: "Report to the master, it was the young master who transferred him to do something." Do you need to transfer him back again? ”
"Young Master? By the way, how is that rebel now? ”
"Everything is fine, master, don't worry about it."
"Zhu Cai, you even dare to lie to me, don't you?"
Zhu Cai hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave doesn't dare, but the slave really doesn't dare to say it." ”
"Hurry up! If you dare to tell a lie, I'll rip your brain out and feed it to the dogs! ”
"The young master scolds in the room every day, saying that the master does bad things every day, and the Zhu family 。。。。。。 sooner or later The young master must be young, so it would be good if he was older. ”
"Hmph, I know my own adopted son, if he can change, the sun will have to come out of the west, you call the old one who poured the night incense."
Not only the second master Zhu Cai, but even the fourth master Zhu Bao was stunned, and said in his heart What does the old man's move mean, is it possible that he has to pull this poured night incense to accompany the funeral?
Cheng Xiaolian was lying on the bed, and suddenly a bunch of slaves rushed in: "Yuan Xiaosan, the master is looking for you!" ”
He was startled, and subconsciously wanted to run away, and said in his heart that Jia Xu didn't expose himself, right?
But after thinking about it again, he just knew that he was working here, and there was no reason for the house to find this place so quickly, so he hurriedly got out of bed: "I don't know what the master is looking for me?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed over a piece of silver, who knew that those people had cold faces: "The master passed you, we don't know why, the silver still doesn't accept it, in case you commit a crime, it will inevitably implicate us." Let's go. ”
Cheng Xiaolian followed the group out of the courtyard with trepidation, but Zhu Fu and the others were frightened, and Wang Wu cried with a sad face: "Uncle Fu, what the hell is going on?" Why did you call the third brother over in the middle of the night? ”
"Doesn't anyone who hasn't heard it know what's going on? It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, just wait. ”
Cheng Xiaolian followed to the main hall and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave has seen the master." ”
He had long known the rules of this era, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all, so he couldn't speculate on what he was encountering today.
Zhu Guozhi snorted coldly: "I heard that you are with the young master, what do you do every day?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian's heart trembled: "The slave is not with the young master every day, a few days ago, the young master asked me to collect rent, I was injured a little, and I am recuperating." ”
Zhu Guozhi sighed, looking very surprised: "Can you still be injured when collecting rent?" Did you get into a fight with someone? ”
Cheng Xiaolian didn't plan to mention Hu Guozhu, because it was too absurd to say that a thirteen-year-old child could escape under Hu Guozhu's hands, and it was easy for Zhu Guozhi to suspect it, but he had to mention it at this point.
"The slave went to collect the rent of General Hu Guozhu, and he didn't want to give it to the slave, so he stabbed the slave."
"Yes, looking at your appearance, your courage is not frightened yet, I have something to do with you, are you willing?"
When the people around heard this, they all showed strange expressions, and said in their hearts, could it be that this kid stepped on shit again today? It's obviously a bad thing, but how did it become a good thing when it came to him?
Cheng Xiaolian nodded hurriedly: "The slave is willing!" "The heart said, as the old saying goes, the boat will naturally be honest and honest and not deceive me, this is not a chance to live, I took the master's job, I see which one dares to kill me.
Zhu Guozhi laughed: "You haven't heard anything and said you are willing, if something bad happens, you can't escape." ”
Cheng Xiaolian has been here for so long, and he has long learned how to speak: "As long as it is explained by the master, go up to the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and you will not give up!" ”
"Good!" Zhu Guozhi waved his hand: "You all retreat." ”
The slaves present glanced at Cheng Xiaolian, some were jealous, some were appreciative, and they all withdrew, leaving only Zhu Guozhi and two personal servants in the house.
Zhu Guozhi sighed: "My house is very dangerous, I plan to send the young master out of Yunnan." ”
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "Huh? ”
"I guess you don't understand the specific things, so I asked if you would like to escort the young master out of Yunnan to Beijing?"
Cheng Xiaolian was shocked, and said in his heart that this is definitely a lifeless life, Wu Sangui has so many eyeliners, if Zhu Guozhi's son can be let go, he doesn't have to rebel, just commit suicide. But Cheng Xiaolian didn't dare to ask, and it would be even worse if the rules were broken.
"Master, the slave is willing."
"Okay, sure enough, I didn't mistake you, tomorrow on the fifth watch, you will follow the young master, pick a few clever ones to follow, you don't have to worry about the young master's affairs, just make a good journey."
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "The slave knows." ”
Back in the courtyard, Cheng Xiaolian was still a little puzzled, could it be that the anger of the king in his body had an attack? How could Zhu Guozhi hand over such a big matter to himself, even if he was clever, but he was only a thirteen-year-old child, how could Zhu Guozhi rest assured that Zhu Shaoxiong would be handed over to himself?
Zhu Fu saw that Cheng Xiaolian was back, and hurriedly greeted him: "Little San, how is it?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "The master gave me a good errand, but I think something is wrong." ”
Zhu Fu's face was happy, and he reached out and patted his head: "Your brain is broken?" What's wrong with such a good thing? ”
