Idle courtiers

Chapter 108 Xia Qianhu's Secret (Please recommend a ticket)
Xia Yi was just talking verbally, even if the Jinyiwei Qianhu in the city came back, he would explain his official duties, take the money, and get the road guide and customs clearance certificate to return to Beijing as soon as possible.If something happens and other people are alarmed, do you still want your own future?

Thinking that he could finally finish his errands tomorrow and get out of the predicament in front of him, he felt relieved for a while, and his cough was not so severe.

In the early morning of the second day, the waiter in the inn was also abominable because he didn't prepare breakfast.

Zhan Tong couldn't help shouting that he was hungry, and Zhou Nan was flustered and angry when he called him, so he wanted to go to the inn owner to argue.Xia Yi held him back in a rare way: "Forget it, why should we bother with this kind of villain. I will go to the guard later, cut off the head and tail, borrow money, and we will immediately hire a boat and set off back. It doesn't take long , as long as you arrive in Yangzhou, there is one of our thousand households in that place."

Zhou Nan: "Qianhu is open-minded and doesn't want to argue with this kind of villain. No, I don't understand this idea!"

A rare smile appeared on Xia Yi's face: "Forget it, forget it." Finally, I can wait until my colleagues come back, and I don't get angry when there are happy events.

After taking a sip of the hot soup, Xia Yi went out by herself.

Zhou Nan stayed in the inn, remembering that he would leave later.I, Xia and Zhan have come here with more than a dozen people, and their bodies are very dirty.Especially the socks on my feet are getting tired.I simply ran to the yard to get a basin of water to wash it clean, and ran to the fire room to dry it with a cheeky face.

When everything was settled, I looked up and saw that the sky was cloudy and cloudy, as if it was going to rain.

It turns out that in the Jiangnan area, February is a rainy season every year, and it is not bad to see the sun three out of ten days.

We have to hurry up and leave Jiangyin, otherwise, when it rains, there will be big waves on the river, and we need to prevent the waterway from being cut off.This is a war zone, and the price is so expensive that it bites people, and it is not easy to live in, Zhou Nan thinks so.

At this moment, Xia Yi walked into the inn in a daze.

When Zhou Nan saw it, he felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly supported him: "Lao Xia, what's the matter, but no one was found?"

Xia Yi murmured: "I didn't find anyone, I didn't find anyone... said yes... said the water was very rough, and it would take a while to come back. Cough cough..."

Zhou Nan's heart sank, and he comforted: "No hurry, no hurry, come back sooner or later, sooner or later."

This happened to be heard by the sharp-eared Xiao Er, who sneered and said, "Come back sooner or later, who can you deceive? If your friend doesn't come back, will the shop support you for the rest of your life? Straight mother thief, eating and drinking, you have to rush You can't go out!"

Earlier, Xia Yi told Xiao Er that a friend was on duty in the army, and he would give him money when he came back.Of course, it was impossible for him to say that this friend belonged to Jin Yiwei Qianhu.

Zhou Nan raised his brows, Xiao Er thought he was going to hit someone again, and jumped away: "What do you want to do, is it reasonable to cheat for food and housing? Don't worry, I haven't thought of driving you out yet, you owe me so much Money, just throw it out like this, I ask who wants the money? Move the horse out of the guest room for me and sleep in the stable.”

As he spoke, he pointed to a barn in the corner of the yard that was open to the wind on both sides.

Zhou Nan was furious, and his evil turned to courage, and he was about to beat up the villain in front of him.At worst, everyone will go to the county government. Anyway, Xia Yi Jinyi Qianhu and Zhan Tong's identities of the seventh-rank county magistrate will be found out. At that time, won't they be able to live in the post station under the arrangement of the magistrate?

Is this Xia Yi stupid, refusing to reveal her identity?
Just about to have a seizure, Xia Yi grabbed his hand and shook her head, "Okay, okay, we'll move into the stable."

Zhou Nan cried out in grief and indignation: "Old Xia, can you also suffer this kind of anger?"

Xia Yi: "Brother Zhou, don't be impulsive, don't...cough cough..." Suddenly, there was sweetness in his mouth, and hot liquid rushed up his throat.He stretched out his hand to cover it, but covered it with Yin Hong.

As soon as the blood was spat out, Xia Yi's head buzzed and she fell down.

The rain finally fell, fell on the thatched roof, and then trickled down to the ground.

Huddled in the hay, Zhan Tong was still trembling.

Zhou Nan picked up the hot porridge and fed him two mouthfuls, but Zhan Tong didn't wake up this time.

Holding the bowl in both hands, Xia Yi stared at the clearly countable grains of rice inside, and then began to cough again, until the soup in it spilled all over her body.

Zhou Nan comforted Xia Yi: "Old Xia, don't be sad. It won't rain forever, and your colleague will come back one day. When the time comes, the clouds will open and the moon will shine."

Xia Yi: "Brother Zhou, thanks to you for taking care of me and Lao Zhan these days, if it weren't for you, the two of us would have died. This kindness, Xia Yi will never forget it for the rest of my life. Don't worry, your affairs will be resolved in the future." When I arrive in the capital, if I can help, I will never shirk. However, I am just a small person, and I can't get involved in some things. You are a good person, you will be rewarded, and you will not end up in the future."

Zhou Nan: "Old Xia, we are all in the same boat, what are you talking about?"

The three of them have been in trouble these days, although they still don't like each other, they are much closer.They also call each other casually, they are all Brother Zhou, Lao Zhan, and Lao Xia.

After Zhou Nan finished speaking, he tapped the bowl lightly with his chopsticks, and sang in a low voice: "The shopkeeper brought the yellow mule and horse, and Qin Shubao couldn't help but burst into tears. When he mentioned this horse, it was a big one, and Master Huang of the Ministry of War gave it to us. It's unfortunate. Trapped in heaven, in order to repay your restaurant money, I have no choice but to come and sell it. Just wave your hand, and you can take it. But I don’t know who this horse fell into?"

Xia Yi smiled wryly: "Brother Zhou compared me to Qin Shubao, but what a pity Qin Qiong sold horses, but I was robbed of the treasured sword."

Zhou Nan: "The one who was robbed of the sword was the green-faced beast Yang Zhi."

Xia Yi was displeased: "I am a dignified court official, how can I be a grassroots bandit... Cough cough... Brother Zhou, you are probably wondering, even if you can't wait for the colleagues of Jin Yiwei, why don't you go to the magistrate?"

Knowing that he had something to say, Zhou Nan just looked at him with a smile.

Xia Yi: "I really can't ask the magistrates about this matter, and I can't let the people in the army know about it."

"Others think that I, Xia Yi, have a thousand households in brocade clothes and work in the Beiya government office. I'm a majestic person. In fact, I'm a fifth-rank military officer in the capital. I'm just a fart."

He coughed twice and said, "Let's take Beiya as an example. The one with the palm print is the Zhenfu envoy, the next are two deputy envoys, and two thousand households who are actually authorized. In addition, there are about twenty nominal There are thousands of households like me. There are about a dozen other households like me. To put it bluntly, they are all errand characters who obey orders. I am already old, but I am not willing to go on like this."

Speaking of this, Xia Yi lowered her voice: "Yes, I want to be an official. To be a high-ranking official, at least I have to be a real family with brocade clothes, even if I go to a local area! It's also luck. Duke Sheng's subordinates are staff members, and after his introduction, he joined Duke Sheng's family."

Zhou Nan: "Which son is promoted to Duke?"

"Who else can be promoted to Duke, naturally it is Xu Zisheng."

Zhou Nan was taken aback: "Xu Jie, Xu Zisheng, the second assistant of the cabinet?"

Xia Yi nodded, with a proud face on her face: "Exactly, Mr. Cifu met me once and encouraged me. This time I got his order to come to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate. Tang Shunzhi is domineering in the army, and he regards the orders of the emperor and the court." It's like a child's play. This matter has to be investigated quietly by the Qianhu Office here, but no one else can be alarmed."

"Ah, aren't Xu Jie and Tang Shunzhi good friends, and they belong to the same school, he... unexpectedly..." Zhou Nan was dumbfounded.

As far as he knew, Tang Shunzhi always made great efforts to restore Xuge, which is why Tang Shunzhi later took command of Lianghuai to preside over the battle against the Japanese.Moreover, Xu Jie's teacher, Nie Bao, came from the school of Xinxue, and Tang Shunzhi was a direct descendant of Xinxue.

Xinxue disciples were a special existence in the political arena of the Ming Dynasty, and all the disciples were outstanding people.When Xu Jie made friends with Tang Shunzhi, he also wanted to use this power for his own use, so why did he want to attack Tang Shunzhi?

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Nan suddenly understood: "Mr. Xu Ge's master, Nie Gong, is an outsider after all, and Tang Shunzhi is the heir of the direct line. There is no room for any compromise in the dispute of ideas and the way of thinking!"

That's right, as long as Tang Shunzhi is brought down and stigmatized, with Xu Jie's prestige in the school and his status in the court, he must be the head of Xinxue, and he cannot resist this temptation.

Moreover, Mr. Xu Ge has never been a good man and a believer, and his methods are ruthless.

Seeing Zhou Nan knew the joints in an instant, Xia Yi gave him a surprised look.This Zhou Nan is just a small scholar, an official of Andong County, why is he so familiar with the struggles of the elders of the court?

He nodded: "Exactly, so we have to wait."

Zhou Nan smiled wryly: "You see, we are all so unlucky now that we can't go on for a day, so why wait? Lao Xia, Lao Xia, if this is the case, you asked your subordinates to send me and Lao Zhan to the capital first, and you come by yourself Jiangyin can't do it anymore, but you have hurt him."

"The Liaodong army horse case involves the crown prince. If you are not careful, you don't know how many people will be killed. You have to take it with you so you can rest assured." Xia Yi: "If you want to say harm, I was the one who was harmed by you."

Zhou Nan was very surprised: "Lao Xia, you can't blame me."

Xia Yi: "I heard from people in Andong County that your Master Zhou is a dead star, and whoever gets involved will be unlucky. Shi Zhixian, Mr. Zhan, Guixian Cheng, Master Zhan, Mr. Mei, Mei Tang, Widow Huo , Huo Chunfen, Niu Er, Mei Yuanwai, and now it's my turn, Xia Yi. Tell me, who do you blame?"

Zhou Nan was speechless, co-authoring I am Detective Conan... I was so angry that I was about to refute.

Xia Yi saw him suffocating, she laughed aloud, coughed up blood again, and then fell into a drowsy sleep.

In the dream, Xia Qianhu could not stop coughing.

"Maybe I'm really a bad star." Zhou Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and carried two bundles of grass to cover Zhan Tong and Xia Yi respectively.

Looking at the rain falling outside the shed, he thought to himself: I'm going to starve to death, I have to find a way to get some money tomorrow.
