Daming primary school students

Chapter 867
The bandits didn't take anyone else away, but only tied up Xu Shi'an and Yan Shifan, two people who seemed to have the most status.

The two were blindfolded and gagged, and stuffed into the carriage. After a bumpy ride for an unknown amount of time, they were put down again, and the blindfolds and gags were untied.

At this time, the sky was still dark, and the two could only see that they were in a courtyard, and they didn't know anything else.

Although the eyes, ears and mouth were free again, neither of them spoke, nor did they take the initiative to talk to the strangers around them.

After all, if you don't know the background of the other party, you should be more cautious. If you can't deal with something, you will lose it if you talk too much.

Not long after, the two were brought into a brightly lit hallway.After waiting for a while, a man and a woman came in from behind.

The man looks about [-] years old, but his face is very weather-stained and his complexion is very red; while the woman is very fair and beautiful, only in her twenties, holding a snow-white Persian in her arms. cat.

For some reason, Xu Shi'an felt that this woman looked familiar.I muttered to myself, what kind of family is this? A woman can show her face to meet strangers?

On other people's territory, even the lecherous Yan Shifan dared not act presumptuously.

He didn't pay much attention to the beautiful woman, but only asked the red-faced man: "Your Excellency asked me to wait here, what can I teach you?"

The red-faced man looked at Yan Shifan a few times, and said to his subordinates in doubt: "I want to invite a big man, or the son of a big man!"

Then he pointed at Yan Shifan and reprimanded his subordinates: "How can he be a big shot with his appearance like this? Why did you invite him here?"

Yan Shifan: "."

Although the insult came so unexpectedly, he habitually did not dare to get angry. For some reason, he has recently learned to restrain himself.

As the saying goes, a scholar can be humiliated but not killed!Better to die than to live!
According to general logic, the inference of this red-faced man is correct, and the officialdom of Ming Dynasty also pays great attention to appearance.

A one-eyed lame fat man like Yan Shifan, even if he can sneak into the officialdom under normal circumstances, is doomed not to become a big shot.

The red-faced man also added: "It's useless to keep it. Go dig a hole by the river and bury him. Don't leave too obvious traces!"

Several subordinates came out in response, and then dragged Yan Shifan out.

Yan Shifan has been attacked recently, and he is almost depressed.When a scholar meets a soldier, it is useless even if he reports to his father, on the contrary, he may die faster!

"If you want to show us off, please excuse me." Yan Shifan said as calmly as possible: "You have spent all your effort to bring the two of us here. You must have other motives. If you kill me casually , isn’t that a waste of effort?”

Xu Shi'an suddenly remembered that this Yan Shifan was a "hostage" he had kept for Brother Qin, and he might be able to exchange it for anything in the future.How can you say that it's gone?

So Xu Shi'an also stopped him and shouted: "Keep him first! Let him die to understand!"

The scene finally calmed down, and the man introduced himself to Xu Shi'an, "My surname is Xu, and I have a single name, Quan, who is from Huizhou and does business for a living.

I don't ask who you two are, I invite you here tonight, there is absolutely no malice, I really want to consult something!
After the questioning, not only will I send you back home, but there will also be a generous gift!In addition, I have left a message for your family in the station, so they don't have to worry! "

Xu Shi'an just felt that everything was weird tonight. Such an active gang of robbers tied him here just to ask some questions?
The red-faced man who claimed to be Xu Quan asked without waiting for Xu Shi'an's response, "I heard that there are a large number of Japanese pirates making trouble this year, so it must have touched the court.

I don't know what the direction of the court is?How to decide on the East China Sea affairs next?Also hope to enlighten me. "

Xu Shi'an was speechless for a moment. If I remember correctly, it seemed that this was the first time in my life that someone asked me for my opinion on major national affairs?

His youngest Xu also has today?Is this world too absurd, or Xu Quan in front of me is too crazy?
What I still don't understand is, why do you, a businessman, care about the imperial court's ocean policy?If you care about it, you should care about it. What's the point of asking him, Mr. Xu, for advice?
If Xu Shi'an was really capable, he would have made up some nonsense, but the problem now is that he couldn't even make it up, so he could only answer: "I really don't know!"

Xu Quan said angrily: "You should at least have heard some rumors! You don't say a word, are you looking down on me?"

Xu Shi'an was even more speechless. He, the youngest Xu, is a dandy military officer. He Dehe can participate in the country's major plans, and what rumors can he hear?
He continued to retort: ​​"What can I know about important national affairs? How can I know the direction of the wind? Are you asking the wrong person?"

Xu Quan patted the table and said: "Just because you can live in the best courtyard of Jingkou Station, how can your status be inferior? What kind of hero is a secretive man?"

Jingkou Station is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the canal. Officials passing by here are like crucian carp crossing the river.Ordinary officials don't want to live in the best courtyards, they have to be officials of the third rank or above.

Therefore, Xu Quan's logic is still not wrong. People who can live in the most superior courtyards in Jingkou Station are either high-ranking officials or the children of powerful and powerful people. Ordinary people don't even think about it.

Such a person would have some understanding of the court's movements. Even if he didn't understand, he would be influenced by his ears and eyes in his daily life, which was much better than ordinary people.

I also heard Xu Quan say: "I sincerely ask for advice. If you give advice, I will definitely reward you! If you can help me bridge the gap, then I will be even more grateful. I will never let you suffer!"

Xu Shi'an suddenly realized and roughly understood what happened.

Xu Quan, who didn't know his background, just wanted to talk to a "big shot", so he stayed at Jingkou Station, and then "invited" himself over by mistake.

Hearing this, Yan Shifan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, was also secretly startled, the other party's style was really a bit wicked.

Just because you want to talk to someone important, you don't hesitate to use kidnapping?Ordinary good people, even ordinary thieves can't do this kind of thing.

This kind of behavior that completely ignores the law and the prestige of the court really seems to be someone who wants to rebel. In the storytelling of romances, there are many reckless anti-kings like this.

Seeing that Xu Shi'an still didn't speak, Xu Quan's face darkened, "It seems that you really look down on me, Xu?

I pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity in my life, what attitude do you take towards me, Xu, I will repay you! "

Xu Shi'an, who was identified as a "big shot", was very helpless, what could he say?Still that sentence, I can't even make it up!

Suddenly seeing Yan Shifan, he said to Xu Quan in a hurry: "Your Excellency, I don't know. Although I have a decent family background, I am only a military officer. How can I know what court policies are?
But the person next to him is from the capital, and he knows something about the direction of the court, so you might as well ask him to say a few words! "

Although Xu Laosan doesn't know how to speak, Yan Shifan is eloquent and can speak well, so I can make up a few sentences to deal with it now and it's over!
Besides, what the other party is looking for is a big shot, and Yan Shifan is the son of Mr. Ge, which is closer to the concept of a big shot!

Yan Shifan gritted his teeth and said to Xu Shi'an, "Thank you very much."

Such a dude is quite quick-witted when it comes to throwing the blame away!

If it weren't for the fact that he still has the status of "Ge Laozi", he would have exposed Xu Laosan's status as "Zhongtang Nai Brother" a long time ago, sold him and left!

Anyway, Yan Shifan couldn't do without talking, so he said to Xu Quan: "If you want to ask the court's policy on maritime affairs, I can tell you, no!"

Xu Quan asked back in surprise: "How could it not? How could the court have no reaction at all? Even if the sea is strictly banned, it is still a kind of wind direction. As long as there is wind, there must be wind direction!"

Hearing this, Yan Shifan was finally able to ascertain that the unknown person surnamed Xu in front of him really wanted to ask questions, not just for fun.

Yan Shifan said categorically: "No, there is no, no matter who you ask, there is no!
If the court is in a delicate period, the emperor is unconscious, and no one can decide on major policies, so it is difficult to make a big plan! "

Xu Quan still didn't quite understand, and asked again: "Then the court will stop doing things?"

Yan Shifan didn't know what the purpose was, and continued: "You care so much about maritime affairs, don't you have heard of it. Grand scholar Qin Zhongtang is out of town in Zhejiang and Fujian?
This is equivalent to the fact that the imperial court did not make a decision and only entrusted all affairs to Qin Zhongtang!
In the next period of time, what the direction of the wind will be is all in Qin Zhongtang's own thoughts, how will others know?
So if you ask if the imperial court has a policy, my answer is no!As for what Qin Zhongtang thinks, only Qin Zhongtang himself knows! "

Xu Quan was stunned for a while, and said to himself: "In this way, apart from finding that Qin Zhongtang, it is useless to find anyone else?"

Then he said to Yan Shifan: "If you are able to live in a high-class courtyard, you must all be people with backgrounds. Can you contact Qin Zhongtang for help?"

Yan Shifan couldn't help but think for a while, what's the point of such a person looking for Qin Dewei?Could it be that he still wants to support Qin Dewei to rebel?

But Xu Shi'an answered first: "I am a useless idle military officer, and he has such an unsightly appearance.

Do you think people like us can be related to Qin Zhongtang?Even if we were asked to visit Qin Zhongtang, there would be no reasonable excuse. "

Xu Quan waved his hand when he heard the words, and sighed: "That's all, I'm just busy tonight!"

Then he ordered his subordinates: "Send these two back! I will also offer you 200 taels as a surprise fee!"

It doesn't matter if it's money or not, Xu Shi'an and Yan Shifan are not short of money, but it's a pleasant surprise to hear that they can get away.

At the same time, it can be seen from the "200 taels" that Xu Quan in front of him is definitely not an ordinary robber, and he is not doing things here for money.

A bandit who is very concerned about the court's maritime policy?Could it be pirates?

When the two were about to turn around and leave, the beautiful woman who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Slow down!"

Then I saw the woman say to Xu Quan: "The person you want to find is far away in the sky and right in front of you, why do you want to let go?"

Xu Quan said in surprise, "What do you mean Ma'am?"

Yan Shifan and Xu Shian also wanted to ask the same question, but they were also a little surprised.

They thought this woman was a figure in the flower world, so they came out to accompany the guests, but they didn't expect to hear Xu Quan's tone, it seems that they are still husband and wife?
Mrs. Xu glanced at her, and said to Xu Quan: "The two of them, one is Qin Dewei Qin Zhongtang's milk brother, and the other is Yan Ge's son. Are you going to let them go?"

Xu Shian and Yan Shifan were shocked immediately!I never thought that this woman knew the two of them!Who the hell is this?

Xu Shi'an felt that this woman looked familiar just now, so he didn't think about it, but there was something wrong!
Xu Quan turned his head suddenly, and looked back and forth between the two people opposite him several times, but there was no rebuttal from the two people.So he knew in his heart that what Madam said was probably right.

Just now I was complaining in my heart that I was unlucky, and next time the post station and Jiang Fang are prepared, it will be difficult to catch a big fish.I never expected that the harvest would be so fat in the blink of an eye.

He said with emotion: "I treat you with sincerity, but I really didn't expect you to hide such an important identity!"

Unconvinced, Xu Laosan objected: "You said it yourself, we don't need to expose our identities!"

Xu Quan: "."

Asking the other party not to report their identity is to let the other party have no scruples and can speak freely, as if speaking anonymously, so that more real information can be obtained.

But he didn't expect that two people with such sensitive identities would be caught in a random grab.

Yan Shifan could tell that Xu Quan was easy to deal with, but Mrs. Xu could make him shudder.

Knowing the identities of the two of them, he could still quietly listen to the nonsense of the two of them for a long time, and finally revealed the truth when they were about to be released.

So Yan Shifan took the initiative to ask Madam Xu: "Who is Madam? Why can you recognize the two of us?"

Mrs. Xu replied lazily: "My concubine is also from Nanjing. I have seen the faces of the two of you, so of course I can recognize you."

Yan Shifan and Xu Shi'an looked at each other, if this woman was from a good family, they might not have many chances to see him.If she can recognize herself, it means that this woman is probably from Fengchen.

Yan Shifan probed again: "So it's still old! I don't know when we met once?"

Mrs. Xu said with a sneer: "Don't get close, I don't know you at all, there is no old friendship to speak of!

When your father came to Nanjing, I was just a little girl, how could I have the chance to meet Mr. Yan?
It's just that Mr. Yan has a magnificent appearance, and he has never seen it before, so he can recognize it when he sees it. "

Xu Laosan next to him couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked directly: "Since you were born in Nanjing, madam, why are you here again?"

Mrs. Xu put down the cat, and continued to sneer: "The concubine left Nanjing after being abandoned by Qin Dewei all those years ago!"

Xu Shian: "."

Yan Shifan: "."

This Qin surname is too deceitful, too deceitful!Anyone who is on the horse can cheat himself with an old melon!

Xu Shi'an suddenly flashed a little memory, "I remembered! You are the girl Brother Qin said, the woman you meet once in 500 years!

Didn't Brother Qin help you get out of the cabinet in the end? He's been with you for a few months, and he's good enough for you. "

Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and said: "He is my first man, I want to entrust him to him for the rest of my life, from now on, and be a woman from a good family, but he ran away!

He ruined my chance to be a good guy!I heard that Wang Lianqing has always opposed it, how can I be inferior to Wang Lianqing? "

Xu Shi'an was speechless, let's just play around, why are you so serious?Except for Wang Lianqing, who in your business can handle Brother Qin?

　Continue to look for the status, ask for a monthly ticket!
