Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 8

[8. Chapter 7]

Su Jin’s heart weighed a mountain of Wei Wei, and he finally managed to sort out a thread from the thousands of threads, and then he remembered that today is the day when Miss Yan Ziqi Yan came to visit.

Yan Ziqi still claimed to be the maidservant of the third son of Yan.

Su Jin invited her to the flower hall, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Yan Ziqi didn’t look like a boudoir girl. She looked around all the way, and she probably had never been taught “clean etiquette, clear ears, no evil eyes”.

Su Jin watched her take a sip of tea and asked, “Do you know why your son put the jade seal on the Gongshi’s place?”

Yan Ziqi said: “Isn’t the Gongshi’s place guarded by military guards, they have never seen my house? Third young master, the young master will show them with this jade seal.”

Su Jin asked back: “He is the young master of the Zhan Shifu, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to use the official seal to prove his identity?”

Yan Ziqi said embarrassingly: “My young master is in a hurry to go out. , without the official seal.”

“Really? Who are you, Young Master Yan, and even know if he has the official seal on his body?” Su Jin asked again, paused, clapped his hands, and called out calmly. : “Miss Yan.”

Yan Ziqi was stunned for a while, she specially combed her maid’s head today, wore a plain skirt, and dressed up inside and out, thinking that everything was foolproof, but Su Jin only looked at her. With two eyes, you can see through her identity.

Yan Ziqi stood up and smiled far-fetchedly: “Young Master Su misunderstood, I… what kind of young lady is a slave, but I only serve the third young master personally, so I know more.”

Su Jin’s eyes fell out of the window for three minutes , when it was time for the high value, the sky was already bright.

She didn’t want to entangle with Yan Ziqi too much, so she said to herself: “Although Su is a late governor, but when an ordinary maid sees me, she doesn’t call me an adult, or an official at any rate, but you call me son.” Yan Ziqi He opened his mouth and was about to defend himself when Su Jin interrupted: “One of them. Second, if you are really a maid, there is no reason why your official will pour tea with you, and you will accept it without refusing. When I saw me, I never saluted me, and since I entered the flower hall, you were also sitting, and I was standing talking to you, so it was obvious that I was used to being pampered, and the third.”

Su Jin fixed his eyes on Yan Ziqi: “I have to listen to the fourth. What’s the fifth?”

Yan Ziqi was so shocked by this big talk that she couldn’t speak, and after a while, she waved her hand embarrassingly: “Hey, that…” She seemed to be sighing, but also like a job on the chopping block. The fish is still trying to die.

Su Jin has also dealt with others since he was a child. After all, he has dabbled in the “Four Books of Women”, and he has a general outline of the description of the ladies in his heart, and he is definitely not as indecent as Yan Ziqi.

For a while, I recalled that she had been withdrawn from the family three times, and it was not without reason that it could be traced back.

However, this is also good, she is not delicate or noble, but she is easy to talk.

Su Jin has a purpose: “I can return the jade seal to you, but I want to know why you went to find Chao Qing that day, what did you say to him, and what was the reason for the dispute.”

Yan Ziqi thought for a while with her head lowered and dejected. Finally gave up the struggle: “I can tell you, but—” She raised her head abruptly and looked at Su Jin: “I have a request.”

Su Jin said: “You say it.”

Yan Ziqi said: “Today’s champion parade, take me with you. Go take a look.”

Su Jin was speechless and looked at her silently for a while.

I’m afraid it’s not sick, is it?

Yan Ziqi said eagerly: “Actually, I came here for this matter. It is inconvenient to explain the cause and effect of it to the son, but…”

But Su Jin was not interested in this cause and effect. It was already bright outside. She put Yan Ziqi in the flower hall, turned and walked to the front hall on duty. The left and right Yan’s jade seals were still in her sleeves. Ask Yan Ziqi to speak.

As soon as Su Jin crossed the threshold of the front hall, several people on duty in the room all stared at her.

Liu Yichu held a cup of tea unchanged for ten thousand years, “cough” twice, and looked very serious: “Mr. Su, our yamen are valuable, but we don’t want to bring family members.”

Su Jin’s brain Ren’er suddenly ached. , Turning around and looking, Yan Ziqi really followed silently behind him, his eyes met, and he smiled awkwardly at her.

Liu Yichu sneaked up to Su Jin, and bumped her with his arm again: “Where are you from? Are you allowed to marry?”

Yan Ziqi was afraid that Su Jin would reveal her identity, so he gave a salute. , said softly: “My lord, my lord has misunderstood. This slave is the maidservant of the third son of the Grand Fu’s mansion, and now I’m here to find Master Su to get a token of my son.” After a pause, he thought of a plan and said, “Young master. He also instructed the servants to take the token, and to give it to the little Marquis of Changping, the Lord Ren Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, I heard that he is currently walking the streets with the newly-appointed champion.”

Liu Yichu couldn’t help but widen his eyes: “Are you going to the parade?”

Su Jin on the other side had already ordered, “Aqi, prepare a carriage.”

The boy who stood in front of the hall and listened to the corner for half a day stuck his head out, looked at Su Jin, then looked at him again. Looking at Yan Ziqi: “I dare to ask the governor, is the girl going to Confucius Temple or Zhuque Lane? Depending on the time, Xin Dengke and his party should have a few bowls of tea when they go out of the palace gate.

” !” Su Jin suddenly said with a blue vein on his forehead.

At this moment, a person crawled in from the outside: “Master Liu, Governor Su, something happened!”

This person is a yamen who is on duty today, and was assigned to Zhuque Lane by Sun Yinde yesterday. , put it upside down.

Su Jin heard about it.

On the way of the parade, there were people making trouble, and the scene was completely out of control when they reached Suzaku Lane. went in. Some people even fought with officers and soldiers, and some were killed and injured.

The yamen’s face was pale, and he was still in shock: “I have never seen such a battle before, those troublemakers have even torn up the imperial list, I am afraid they will be tossing endlessly!”

Liu Yichu heard the death and injury, his face changed Bai Bai, asked: “Where’s the Sun Mansion? Didn’t he take someone on a tour earlier? Didn’t he follow Master Zhuang Yuan’s group? Didn’t he help Wucheng Soldiers and Ma Sizhi to manage this group of desperate people?” The

yamen swallowed He spit: “I originally brought people to follow, but when I went to the Confucius Temple, those who made trouble saw that the people wearing official uniforms did not recognize their six relatives, so Master Sun just…”

“You bastard!” Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yi Chu slammed a punch on the goalpost, and he didn’t care who was the senior or the junior. He turned to look at Su Jin and asked, “What should I do?”

Su Jin only felt that from yesterday to this morning, One after another, it was like a storm crashing on the shore, causing her temples to hurt. Now, at the critical moment of life and death, she has calmed down strangely, and out of the corner of the eye, she sees Yan Zi, who has quietly withdrawn step by step. Qi, shouted loudly, “Stop!”

With this shout, the two yamen guarding outside the mansion crossed the fire and water sticks and stopped in front of Yan Ziqi.

Su Jin instructed in a deep voice: “Come here, tie her up to me!”

Yan Ziqi was dumbfounded: “You dare—” Before he could finish speaking, a guard came with hemp ropes on their backs. The eldest Miss Yan family, thinking she was an ordinary maid, tied her up.

Su Jin asked Aqi again: “Is the carriage ready? Send her to the Taifu’s house.”

Yan Ziqi was so anxious that she cried: “You don’t fear offending the Yan family and the Taifu if you do this?”

Su Jin said: “If you go to Suzaku Lane, I don’t need to put my head on my neck.” She paused, and thought again that there are gangsters who are taking advantage of the chaos in the capital, Yan Zi. Qi may not be safe this time, so he took out the Yan’s jade seal from his sleeve, handed it to Yan Ziqi, and said coldly: “Take the self-defense.”

Su Jin watched Aqi lift Yan Ziqi into the carriage and turned around. Then he said to Liu Yichu: “You stay and prepare a horse for me.”

Liu Yichu was stunned: “Are you crazy?”

Su Jin turned back into the hall like a gust of wind, took the official uniform and put it on his body. , and said, “Why not? Stay here and wait for death? Or take a dozen yamen to arrest people? I’m afraid that even if you can’t kill Confucius Temple, you will be beaten back.

” Chu Yi thought that the yamen just now said that the group of troublemakers saw that the six relatives who were in office did not recognize them, and felt that Su Jin was almost dead, and then persuaded: “Then why don’t you take off this official uniform!

” Governor, without this official uniform, how can I send the yamen who are still on the spot? How can I borrow someone from Wucheng Soldiers and Ma Si?”

Liu Yichu grabbed the reins, swallowed hard and said, “Shiyu, you Listen to me, how can the job of the yamen be more important than your own life? It’s not a good job today, the big deal is to quit the job, and the days to come will be long and long, why bother with yourself?”

Su Jin knew that he is for your own good.

She reined herself on the horse, looking at the unpredictable clouds in the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded in her ears.

The catastrophe ten years ago is still deafening, let alone today?

Su Jin said in a low voice, “It’s not that I can’t live with myself, it’s my life.”

After hearing this, Liu Yichu let go of the reins in a daze. Su Jin immediately kicked his horse away, splashing smoke and dust on the ground.

A yamen officer asked, “Master Liu, can we go with you?”

Liu Yichu shook his head. There were about ten of them, so what’s the use of going?

He suddenly wanted to laugh. Although Old Thief Sun was inexperienced, he could see Su Jin accurately. He looked like a sensible person, with a stubborn body in his skin.

Liu Yichu didn’t feel good in his heart. He was a person who lived by, and regarded “safety” as more important than anything else.

But Su Jin’s words “human life” seemed to wake him up, giving him a faint glimpse of the consequences of this absurd disturbance.

No wonder the imperial censor of Zuodu and Dali Si Qinghui came to the door together.

Liu Yichu made a decisive decision: “Go to Zhou Tong and let him call as many people as he can, and go to Zhuque Lane to meet with Governor Su.” He then ordered another officer, “You take my official seal and go to Ducha. The hospital looked for Lord Liu, and said that Governor Su went to Suzaku Lane alone, and let him go to see the safety of Governor Su no matter what.
