After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 103 Something is wrong

Hearing that there was no movement outside, Shen Jingcheng quietly put down his hand, and coughed vaguely at the same time, as if he was just suppressing the cough just now.

The horses he kept in the shops along the way were all specially trained. Although the whistler couldn't hear the sound, the horses could hear it very clearly. The horses knew exactly what the whistle meant. .

But at this time, the servant outside the Emperor Taisun's mansion was dumbfounded, he didn't know what was going on, the horse that couldn't be pulled away just now suddenly turned around and ran away, at such a speed that he didn't want to drive away superior.

In the Emperor Grandson's Mansion, under the guidance of that person, Shen Jingcheng quickly arrived at the residence of Emperor Grandson Qin Zongxian. In the courtyard, there was little cigarette smoke, and a few clumps of green bamboos were lush and green. When the breeze passed, the bamboo leaves made a soft rustling sound.

After entering the courtyard, the person who brought Shen Jingcheng asked him to stop in the courtyard, and went forward to report. After a while, he heard a sissy singing from inside.

"Xuan, see Shen Jingcheng, magistrate of Yuhe County, Guide Prefecture."

Shen Jingcheng's eyes flickered when he heard it in the courtyard, he lowered his head and raised his feet and walked forward until he entered the room. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black figure directly in front of him, he immediately stopped, and bowed to him as a courtier.

"Shen Jingcheng, magistrate of Yuhe County, greets His Highness."

"Get up." As Shen Jingcheng knelt down and kowtowed, a gentle voice sounded.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Upon hearing this, Shen Jingcheng stood up unhurriedly, and then stood aside without raising his head or asking questions.

Qin Zongxian watched him stand still like a log after he got up, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Raise your head." Qin Zongxian leaned on the soft bed and said casually.

Only then did Shen Jingcheng raise his head in response, and looked at Qin Zongxian.

This is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a black robe, with delicate features and delicate features, exuding an air of literati, and standing beside him is a middle-aged man with a white face and beardless.

At this time, the grandson of the emperor, who was lazily leaning on the slum, was holding a book in his forehand, and looked at himself unceremoniously with a pair of slender eyes.

After Shen Jingcheng caught the face of the young grandson of the emperor, he lowered his eyes and bowed his head again, showing due respect to him.

"I heard, how many years have you been a food chief?" Qin Zongxian asked while looking up and down Shen Jingcheng.

"Yes." Shen Jingcheng replied in a satisfactory manner.

"I don't know what to do to be a food chief?"

"Supervise the farming in the village, be responsible for collecting taxes and grains within the jurisdiction, and then transport them to the places designated by the imperial court."

"It must be hard work, right?"

"It's okay."

"It's not easy to pass the Jinshi exam because of the duties of the head of grain and the time to study, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Whatever Qin Zongxian asked, Shen Jingcheng would answer it simply and clearly, without saying a word.

Qin Zongxian couldn't continue asking after asking for a while, and gently waved to Shen Jingcheng.

"You go down."

Hearing this, Shen Jingcheng took a few steps back with a bow, then turned around and left the courtyard.

Qin Zongxian snorted slightly after he left, and turned back to the study.

After some questioning, this person can only answer bluntly, without even a supplement, dull, boring, and has nothing special except that he became a food chief when he was young.

I don't know what my dead prince father and that old man are looking for in this man?
When Shen Jingcheng walked out of Qin Zongxian's courtyard, he was led by another person, and the path led by this person was completely different from when he came in just now.

"When I came in, it didn't seem to be this way?" Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, Shen Jingcheng stopped and did not go any further.

"There are many ways to go out, just follow me." The man spoke respectfully, but what he said could not be refuted.

Shen Jingcheng's heart sank when he heard that, he didn't know what this person was going to do, but this situation was obviously wrong.

That person walked faster and faster in front, and he couldn't keep up with the pace of ordinary people. Shen Jingcheng didn't expose himself, just followed the pace of ordinary people, and immediately stopped in place after the person disappeared around the corner. .

This place is obviously a garden. He listened intently with his breath held, and could faintly feel a faint breathing in the grass not far away. The person seemed to be very nervous, and his breathing was a little messy.

Shen Jingcheng looked around blankly, then turned his head and walked back. His speed was very fast, and he was away from here in a short while.

In the flowers not far away, a woman waited for a long time for no one to come, and slowly stood up, only to realize that the person she was waiting for had long since disappeared.

The woman stood there in a daze, and the person who led the way couldn't wait for any movement, and quietly revealed his head from behind a wall. Seeing that there was no shadow of Shen Jingcheng in the garden, he was also stunned.

"Where is the person?" The man came to the woman and asked.

"I don't know, I didn't come here at all." The woman bowed her head a little shyly.

The man glared at the woman, and quickly followed the way he came. There are many forks in the road, and there is also a courtyard leading to the emperor's grandson and concubine. If you are not careful, big things will happen.

At this time, Shen Jingcheng had already arrived at the gate of the mansion, and the gatekeeper was the one who took him to Qin Zongxian's courtyard in the first place. When he saw Shen Jingcheng coming alone, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

He heard from his godfather that he still has something to do today, so why did this man come out by himself?

Thinking so, he asked the same question.

"Why did Mr. Shen come out alone? Where is the person who led you?"

"The person who led the way disappeared after turning a corner. I don't know that road, so it's not easy to walk blindly, so I walked out along the road you took me through." Shen Jingcheng seemed very proud when he said it, as if he could walk out by himself What a thing to be proud of.

The man was embarrassed when he heard it, and said: "Master Shen has a good memory."

"Shen has been going to the capital for many years, and he dare not say anything else. He still has some ability to remember the way." Shen Jingcheng finished speaking neither humble nor overbearing, and cupped his fists at this person: "Let me leave."

After finishing speaking, Shen Jingcheng strode out of the door without waiting for him to say anything else. When he went outside, he saw that his horse had long since disappeared, and there were still some messy horseshoe marks on the ground.

The man at the door was choked heavily by Shen Jingcheng, he was a little surprised to see him walking around the horseshoe print twice before leaving.

The horses are gone, but he is still so calm?
Just when he was puzzled, a footstep approached quickly, and then the person who brought Shen Jingcheng to the garden appeared here.

He hurriedly came to the man at the door, and asked in a low voice, "Shunzi, has the man surnamed Shen come out?"

Shunzi didn't know what happened, but nodded quickly: "It's out, just left."

"You..." The man was a little anxious when he heard it, but he also knew that he couldn't be blamed, so he flicked his sleeves and walked back in anger.

"What's the matter, godfather? Godfather?" Shunzi followed closely for a few steps, but because there was no one at the door, he stopped again, just watching his godfather leave in a hurry.
