farce a ups and downs

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the Mu Mansion opened a small crack, and the housekeeper waved to the woman outside the door, "Miss, please go back and tell Mrs. Shen that my lord has already gone to bed, and we can talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."

"Butler Yang, please do me a favor..."

Steward Yang didn't even look at her, and directly said to the young man beside him, "Ashan, send Miss Chengliu back to Shenzhuang."

Cheng Liu is the maid sent by Shen Yu earlier, she has followed Shen Yu for many years, and knows Shen Yu's temperament well, if she returns empty-handed today, she will definitely be made things difficult, so she can't help but make up her mind, even if she is crying He was arguing to see Mr. Mu, but before she could speak, the butler opened the door, and the man who had been blocked by the door showed a mighty figure, with his sleeves rolled up, and there were bulging muscles on his arms. Lifting it, Chengliu was lifted in his hand like a little chicken, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Ashan carried Chengliu and walked towards Shen Zhuang, butler Yang closed the door and came to the study.

The study room was brightly lit, and a middle-aged man was sitting by the desk, flipping through the brochure in his hand.

The butler entered the door and paid homage, then said: "My lord, the people from Shenzhuang have been sent away."

"Do you know why Shen Zhuang sent people here?"

"I want to ask my lord to help me check the list of people entering the city, whether there is the eldest son of the Shen family."

Mu Shou paused slightly when he heard the words, and after a while, the sound of flipping books was heard again in the room.

"It seems that Mrs. Shen sent it."

"Yes. That Chengliu is Mrs. Shen's personal maid."

"Three years ago, I was asked to secretly send Mr. Shen out of the city and replace him with a dead body. It was against the rules to declare his disappearance. If it wasn't for the old owner who helped me back then..." At this point, Mu Shou shook his head.

In this Liuzhou City, the forces behind the four great families, Shen, Qu, Yang, and Xu, are intertwined. These four families almost control the lifeline of the entire Liuzhou City.Back then, it was almost impossible for him to gain a firm foothold as a new official without touching the interests of the aristocratic family. There is an element of the imperial court's connection, but Mu Shou is still very grateful to old owner Shen.

After the old owner passed away, Mu Shou naturally helped the old owner's only daughter whenever he could.

At first, Shen Yu just asked him to do some trivial favors, but later he asked him to "turn a blind eye", for example, to let the government not be so strict in some transactions.Shen Zhuang originally belonged to a family of swordsmiths, and all transactions were related to weapons. The imperial court did not allow mass production of weapons by the people, but Shen Yu said that those were only defective products, and they could only be scrapped if they were kept, so it is better to maximize their final value.Mu Shou saw that those weapons were indeed defective, and there were not many of them, so he agreed.

He kept an eye out, wrote down where the weapons were delivered, and found that they were all shipped to Qingzhou.Although puzzled, but did not delve into it.

Not long ago, there was news from Qingzhou that the orphan of the former crown prince planned to rebel!

According to his friends in Qingzhou, the number of weapons seized by the government is not a small number. Although there is an underground forging furnace of Xuyumen, the output and efficiency cannot be compared with the forges outside. He wants to mass-produce weapons by himself. Almost an impossible task.

So, where do these weapons come from?

Thinking about the key points, Mu Shou broke out in a cold sweat, even if Shen Yu's buyer was not Chen Xuan, as long as he checked the delivery route, he still couldn't get rid of the relationship.

These days, Mu Shou didn't go anywhere except the yamen. Not long ago, Shen Yu's goods were stuck once when he was leaving the city. He sent someone to the door, but Mu Shou didn't see him. It can be seen that something is wrong.

Shen Yu is not a fool, she should be able to guess the reason for her change of attitude, if she is smarter, she shouldn't be rushing to make things difficult for him at this time, and only by keeping things safe will it be conducive to long-term development.

"Is that what the people in the Mu family said?"

Inside Shen Manor, Shen Yu was leaning on the soft couch, and beside her stood two maidservants who fetched hair accessories for her, Cheng Liu knelt on the ground with her head bowed, and said yes.

To Cheng Liu's surprise, Shen Yu didn't get angry, "Go down."

After Cheng Liu retreated, another maidservant came in to report.

"Ma'am, the young master went to the 'black house' on the west side of the village again."

With a "click", an exquisitely crafted and expensive glazed comb broke in two in Shen Yu's hand.

Hearing that Cheng Liu was kicked out without even seeing Mu Shou's face, Shen Yu didn't get angry, but only when he heard that Shen Mingyu went to the "black house" did he get angry.

The maidservants all held their breaths. If any of them dared to look up, they would find that the face of Shen's mistress, who had become more and more reserved in recent years, was full of coldness.

Ignoring the bloodstains on the palms of his hands from the sharp fault of the comb, Shen Yu shook off the broken comb, got up and walked towards the bed, and when he reached the edge of the bed, he asked casually: "Where is the owner?"

"Return to madam, the owner is casting swords."

Last month, He Cheng's caravan returned, half a month later than expected. Recently, Shen Minglang devoted himself to refining the magical weapons, and has been sleeping in the hut next to the sword furnace for several consecutive days.

"Order the kitchen to prepare some refreshing and delicious meals for tomorrow."

Autumn has arrived and the temperature has dropped, but the sword stove is always scorching hot. Living there for a few days and enduring the scorching heat, Shen Yu is worried about whether her husband can eat well and live well.

"Yes."

"Okay, let's all go back."

Shen Yu lay down on the bed, and the maid drew the curtain for her, turned off the lights, and then retreated.

The next day, Feiyu Inn.

The master and apprentice Luo Chen were awakened by the knock on the door.

Last night, Shen Feiyu felt a little unwell when she woke up today. There was a tearing pain in a disgusting part, and she felt like she was falling apart. She couldn't even stand up straight. It took less than two seconds to sit up. He fell down again, and the soft bed under him was like a gentle sponge, wrapping him delicately, Shen Feiyu couldn't help feeling a little tired.

He pulled the quilt to cover half of his face, and in a blink of an eye, Luo Wenchu ​​was already fully dressed.

"Want to lie down a little longer?"

"Yeah." It was only after the words came out that she realized that she was hoarse and hoarse, and Shen Feiyu pulled up the quilt a little more.

Luo Wenchu ​​lifted the quilt with his hands, and quickly leaned over to brush it against his lips: "Then sleep a little longer, little slob."

"Slacker" Shen Feiyu frowned, and muttered, "I don't know who did it."

Luo Wenchu ​​raised his eyebrows: "Did being a teacher last night make you uncomfortable?"

"..."

Luo Wenchu ​​clasped his palms together: "If you don't speak, it's comfortable. Since it's comfortable, how can you describe it as 'harmful'?"

Shen Feiyu: "..."

In this regard, he has a thicker skin, and he may never be as good as his master.

Enough teasing, Luo Wen accepted it at the first sight, tucked up the quilt for the little apprentice, got up and opened the door.

Outside the door, the waiter in the inn knocked impatiently a long time ago, and finally came out when he saw someone. Adhering to the creed that customers are the God of Wealth, he took a deep breath and put on a flattering smile: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, the shop has been closed. It’s a personal appointment, please move to another inn, don’t worry, the deposit you paid before will be replenished to you.”

Previously, Luo Wenchu ​​had paid the room fee for a whole month, and booked ten rooms. Besides, he also booked all the rooms in the inn next door, so that the disciples of Ling Jue School could have a place to stay during the sword-seeking conference. .

And now...

Ding Ding Ding-

Someone was going upstairs, and when they passed the corner, they saw Luo Wenchu ​​and Xiao Er, and the man was overjoyed, "Young master Luo, I have found you."

Luo Wenchu ​​recognized this person as the waiter of the inn next door, and he had already guessed a little bit, but he still asked calmly: "Is there something important? Not to mention that someone has booked the inn and wants to refund my deposit ?”

The waiter choked, and looked at the waiter at Feiyu Inn. The two looked at each other, and they both understood something from each other's eyes.

In the end, it was the waiter from Feiyu Inn who said, "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, why don't we return double the deposit you paid, can't we? It's really the person under this package..."

"I'm going to see your shopkeeper."

"Guest officer, please come back! Guest officer, it is useless to find our shopkeeper!" Xiao Er cried and was about to chase, but was stopped by a hand halfway, Xiao Er looked back with a mournful face, the young man in front of him He was half a head taller than him, and he seemed to be wearing the most common chivalrous attire in the world, giving him the taste of a nobleman. At this moment, his handsome face was tinged with a trace of dignity.

"Is it because you can't afford to offend the people under your contract, or even offend the entire Jianghu sect?"

The pair of eyes filled with mist swept over, Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he nodded his head involuntarily, and then shook his head frantically.

The boss said that the identity of that person cannot be revealed.

Youth: "It must be Shen Zhuang."

Xiao Er was stunned and said, "My lord, how do you know... No, no, no, it's not Shen Zhuang, it's not Shen Zhuang."

"That's Second Young Master Shen."

"..." This young man is really amazing.

"Let's go, let's go down together."

Xiaoer followed the young man step by step, scratched his head for a while and asked, "My lord, have I seen you somewhere?"

The young man paused, tilted his head to look over, showing a little confused expression: "I haven't seen you before."

Xiao Er smiled foolishly: "Master, the accent sounds like someone from here. It's normal if you haven't met me. I was a refugee who came to Liuzhou City three years ago. The natural disaster took away my family. When I was leaving, it was the young master Shen Zhuang who saved me, it's a pity that such a good person disappeared when he disappeared..."

Once the chatterbox is opened, it cannot be closed.

Xiao Er kept talking all the way downstairs, when he saw the confronting boss and Luo Wenchu, he stopped talking immediately and looked at the young man apologetically.

Fortunately, the young man didn't show any impatience, and even smiled at him, "Maybe we really met."

"What?"

The young man put down the nonsensical words, and walked up to Luo Wenchu's side.

Luo Wenchu ​​was attacking the shopkeeper with all kinds of inhuman and cruel verbal attacks without dirty words. When he saw him coming, he took it back a little, "In short, as the shopkeeper, you have to explain this to the guests. First come, first served. The eternal truth, you businessmen should be the most honest."

The shopkeeper heard that his beard was trembling, and he was extremely helpless: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry about this matter, how about this, the deposit will be refunded three times to you, which inn can you go to for this money?"

"I'm afraid that none of them really can do it now." Shen Feiyu answered lightly.

If it was said that the shopkeeper was only embarrassed when he confronted Luo Wenchu ​​just now, then now, his scalp exploded.The ancestor sent someone to give orders, and he made insinuations and figured out why the ancestor made such a fuss, so he naturally knew who the person standing in front of him was.

The second young master Shen is a living ancestor, and the eldest son Shen is not a cheap lamp. Three years ago, his reputation spread far and wide, and then there was news of his accidental disappearance. A big show of winning the position: Maybe the accident three years ago was not an accident at all, but a deliberate arrangement by Second Young Master Shen in order to expel First Young Master Shen from Liuzhou!

The shopkeeper almost didn't cry out because of his brains: the two brothers are making trouble, why is it hurting Chi Yu!

Unexpectedly, the next sentence of the young master Shen was:

"I'm sorry, my bad brother is naughty, it's difficult for the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper widened his eyes and squeezed out a word from his throat: "Ah?"

Shen Feiyu: "I will educate him well, let's just expose this matter."

Shopkeeper: "Oh."

No, then are you going to leave or not! ?
