After clearing the place according to Sheng Suihe's request, Sheng Weiqiao thought he was here to say something, but the man said: "When we leave, the eldest brother will definitely bring someone to see us off. Then you open your mouth and buy Ying Dun." Come down!"
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"It means he can't stay on Tortoiseshell Island any longer!" Sheng Suihe sighed, "Have you seen the dispute in the council hall from beginning to end? Those people really don't want Ying Dun to live - the reason It’s hard for me to tell you now, but in short, even if we brothers and sisters go to plead together, they will not give up the idea of killing Ying Dun!"
"Ying Dun has been tortured with three swords and six holes just now. It was me who did it. He has nothing to do. He just needs to lie down for a few days to replenish his blood. However, if he continues to stay on the island as a slave, those people have many ways to kill him. he!"
Sheng Weiqiao raised his eyebrows and said: "It's really strange! Gongsun Haizhu is not dead yet! Even if Yan Nunu is pregnant, let alone whether her child is a boy or a girl. To put it bluntly, the royal family is also pregnant these days. Children often die in infancy! Lord Gongsun Hai now has a grown-up male heir like Ying Dun, and we have agreed not to kill him. Who dares to commit such a murderous attack now?"
His voice lowered, "Or is it that Gongsun Haizhu still can't suppress his subordinates?"
Sheng Suihe shook his head and said: "This matter is very complicated. It is not a simple matter of whether it can be suppressed or not -"
Sheng Weiqiao thought silently in his heart: "Yes, the key is that the Gongsun family, as well as those in the meeting hall today, are all in favor of clearing their names and going ashore!"
The key to their clearing their name and coming ashore was Sheng Sleeping He, but Gongsun Yingdun was very hostile to Sheng Sleeping He, and even Sheng Weiqiao was affected.
In the eyes of those people, this move was tantamount to cutting off any hope of escape for them and their family members!
On the one hand, those people resented Gongsun Yingdun, and on the other hand, they were worried that if Gongsun Yingdun did not die, Sheng Suihe or the Sheng family would be angry after thinking about it, which would implicate them, so how could they easily give up their intention to kill Gongsun Yingdun
Then Gongsun Su had only been in power for two years, and his foundation was far inferior to that of his father, Gongsun Lao Haizhu. One of the important reasons why he had difficulty convincing the public after he came to power was that Sheng Suihe took on a lot of life-and-death tasks for him.
Although this kind of task is dangerous, it is definitely beneficial to the tempering of personal abilities and the improvement of prestige.
If it weren't for the decision to go ashore, Sheng Sleeping Crane would have been able to compete with Gongsun Suyi for the position of Sea Lord after Gongsun, the old Sea Lord, died at sea the year before last. After all, bloodline is far more important in the Sea Lord inheritance. Incomparable to strength.
This is not entirely because pirates are unjust for profit, but because the living environment of pirates is difficult and dangerous. If the leader of the sea is incompetent, this group of people will definitely end badly.
The stakes are so high, who would want to be with a hopeless boss
The reason why Gongsun Su's uncle Qing and other controlling forces were successful the year before last was ultimately because Sheng Suihe, Sheng Lanci and his son were very firmly on his side. It was not that he alone had the strength to suppress the entire island.
Now that most of the people on the island have agreed to accept the future recruitment, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who was originally quite powerful on Hawksbill Island, is naturally more respected and valued by them.
A group of long-standing gangsters wanted to show their sincerity, so it was only natural that they would take the life of Master Shaohai.
At this point, Gongsun Su was not sure that he could take good care of his son under their constant calculations - after all, he had to take care of such a large island and sea area, and also had to prepare for recruitment in a few years, which was also very busy.
As for Sheng Suihe, who was about to go to Chang'an, after he realized that he could not convince these people, he didn't bother to talk about it, and went straight to the bottom of the cauldron: take Gongsun Yingdun away!
As long as you know that Gongsun wants to abandon the secret and turn to the light, you can deduce the reason. But now Sheng Suihe doesn't want to tell Sheng Weiqiao about this, so he naturally hesitates.
Although Sheng Weiqiao knew that, Sheng Suihe didn't mention it, so she pretended not to know, and only said: "I'm not very interested in the Hawksbill Island thing. It doesn't matter if you want me to buy Yingdun in public when I leave. The problem is to buy it How will we arrange for him after that?"
She reminded, "The heads of four generations of the Gongsun family are on the reward list! Ying Jiang is a girl, and the government doesn't even have a portrait of her, so it's fine. Ying Dun has been the Young Master of the Sea for two years, and he is going to be If you find out, even if the Nanfeng County government intends to cover it up, it will still be troublesome. The most troublesome thing is that our family used to live in the county, so there is room for mediation no matter what happens. But you are about to go to Chang'an to take the exam. If after you become an official, a political enemy gets hold of this, wouldn't it not only harm your future, but also our whole family?"
Moreover, "Even if we don't talk about things so far away, Ying Duncai was tortured with three knives and six holes. Even if his life was not endangered, he must have suffered from excessive blood loss. It is impossible to bring this appearance into the Sheng Mansion, right?" It’s not that I dislike him, but there are so many people in our house, who knows what will be said or what will happen? We must find a place for him to stay and heal his injuries!"
"Our village has many other courtyards, so it's okay to send two of your confidants to find a place to serve him - the problem is, what should you do if he continues to fight against you after he gets better?!"
Sheng Suihe said calmly: "My dear girl has indeed grown up and is so thoughtful - but this matter is not difficult at all! We went back to the shore and quietly arranged for Ying Dun to go to another hospital to recuperate. He is in good health and the injured person is not here. The key is, I think a month or two will be enough."
"At that time, I will almost leave for Chang'an, and I will take him with me to serve as a servant boy like Ah Xi. Looking back, whether it is to Chang'an or to my family, I will say that I picked him up by chance on the way to take the exam. I don't even think about it. How many people care about the ins and outs of this servant?"
"As for the reward offered by the government, I have actually seen those portraits, and they are far from the real ones!"
"After all, Ying Dun didn't have a high status on the island before, so the government spies wouldn't pay much attention to him."
"He is only fourteen years old and is still growing!"
"When I go to Chang'an for a few years to travel as an official, my facial features and body will have grown longer, and he will look even less like the portrait. Even if I return to Nanfeng County by then, no one will recognize him!"
Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "Take him to Chang'an? You know that he may not be kind to you... aren't you afraid that he will stumble you on the way or when you get off?"
"Just teach him." Sheng Suihe said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, good girl, I can suppress him."
Sheng Weiqiao looked at him, thought for a while, and finally said: "Okay. However, this matter must be reported to daddy, and daddy agrees!"
She thought that the most important thing right now was to go back to her parents. As for other matters, she should follow Sheng Suihe's wishes first, lest he suddenly turn against her and embarrass her.
The next two days were uneventful. In order to prevent accidents, the cautious Sheng Weiqiao even refused Gongsun Yingjiang's suggestion to climb Toimao Peak. Finally, on the return day, she followed Sheng Suihe's instructions and led the people in Gongsun Su. When he went to the pier to say goodbye, he proposed to buy "Gongsun Yingdun, the new slave of Tortoiseshell Island". Although those who wanted Gongsun Yingdun to die did not look good, they said to Gongsun Su: "This evil obstacle cannot be tolerated by the young lady. He should have handed over How can I let the lady spend more money by dealing with it?"
They had nothing to say after that - they couldn't say they wouldn't let Sheng Weiqiao vent his anger, right
Although everyone knows that Sheng Weiqiao did not buy Gongsun Yingdun just to vent his anger.
After carrying Gongsun Yingdun on board like this, Sheng Weiqiao breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the big ship raise its sails and set sail!
After several days of sailing, they arrived on the shore. Since they were probably still "studying hard and accompanying them in the other courtyard outside the city" at this time, naturally no one greeted them, and there was no fanfare. They quietly disembarked, changed to a carriage, and arrived at the previous courtyard first. Settlement.
Sheng Weiqiao had been traveling for days and was worried about things. By now he was very tired and almost fell asleep!
When he woke up, Sheng Suihe had already sent Gongsun Yingdun away. Although he didn't know where he was sent and who was arranged to take care of him, seeing that Gongsun Yingjiang didn't care at all, Sheng Weiqiao didn't ask.
She discussed with Sheng Suihe: "Shall we go back now?"
Sheng Suihe said: "The reason why we came out is to study hard for the exam. Calculating the time, it has been half a month since we left the house. It's okay to go back. But originally I didn't care about going to Chang'an early, but now I don't We have to wait for Ying Dun, so we can't go back to Sheng Mansion to stay for a month or so before setting off, right? So if my dear girl has nothing to do, let's stay here for a while longer?"
"But I want to go back!" How could Sheng Weiqiao be willing? He frowned and said, "I haven't seen my parents for a few days. I miss them!"
She wished she could appear in front of Sheng Lanci now and ask Sheng Suihe clearly about his life experience! ! !
Sheng Suihe thought she was pampered, and after suffering a lot on the island for a few days, the first thing he did when he returned to the shore was to throw himself into the arms of his parents for comfort. After thinking about it, he said: "That's fine! I just heard from the servants here that news came from the mansion two days ago, saying that the little aunt we have never seen is back and plans to stay in the mansion for a long time. How about using this excuse to go back and stay for a few days? "
Thinking that Sheng Weiqiao came out with me before, it was originally for the trip to Tortoiseshell Island. Now this girl may not be willing to continue to accompany him in the other courtyard. Sheng Suihe, who doesn't want to be distracted by the love of his son and daughter before the big thing is accomplished, actually doesn't want to She continued to stay, so she added, "After that, I will come back here to study alone, so you can stay with your parents!"
Only then was Sheng Weiqiao satisfied, and urged him to set a return date for tomorrow morning. Then he went back to his room and told his servants not to open the boxes too much, lest he would not be able to pack them up in the morning and delay his return.
At this time, Sheng Weiqiao didn't know that although she was anxious to return to Sheng Mansion as soon as possible, there were also people in Sheng Mansion who were looking forward to the stars and the moon for her return - Sheng Lanling stamped her feet in the inner room and sighed for the hundredth time: "It's been half a month! Why haven't my nieces and nephews come back yet?! Even if the exam next year is important, I am their biological aunt after all. It's been so many years since I came back, but my eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't even call them back to kowtow to me. A gift!?"
"Even if my nephew is busy with homework, he can at least call his niece back alone and ask me to meet him!"
- She finally gained the trust of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Ming, and with the help of the old lady, she returned to her parents' home. Within two days of staying there, she was shocked by the current wealth of the Sheng family!
Then he was full of enthusiasm for getting Dafang's only daughter Sheng Weiqiao to be his son's wife!
Exactly!
Before she could enter the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Weiqiao left first!
After being gone for so long, she was unable to use all the methods she had thought of - after all, before Mrs. Ming managed to let her in, she warned her repeatedly that she was absolutely not allowed to have any ideas about Sheng Weiqiao. If she violated it, don't blame the old Mrs. Not caring about the love between mother and daughter, she kicked them out of the house on the spot!
Therefore, Sheng Lanling did not dare to mention this matter openly, and could only start with Sheng Weiqiao herself, thinking that if this niece fell in love with her cousin, or had to marry her cousin for some reason, the entire Sheng family would be in trouble. There's nothing we can do about it, right
