When news came from Lin'an, Chu Mingyun was exposing the scrolls in the atrium. The ancient scrolls were spread all over the floor, the sun was shining, and the fragrance of ink was floating in the warm wind. He was holding a scroll of military books covering his forehead, and he was stunned for a while, suspecting that he had heard it wrong: "You said just now... Where is Chen Xuanwen's grandson now?"
Qin Zhao looked at Chu Mingyun across the two-zhang scroll, and repeated blankly, "It's the red sleeve trick in Beijing."
"Oh, it's really interesting," Chu Mingyun smiled, "Is he taken to the brothel all the way to sell himself?"
Qin Zhao didn't know how to answer.
He put the military book on the ground with his hands, flipped the page with his toes, and landed firmly beside Qin Zhao in a blink of an eye, "Well, I'll go take a look, you stay in the mansion and wait for my news."
"Yes," Qin Zhao said, looking at the books that covered the floor, and he said, "Brother, your book..."
"I'll leave it to you." Chu Mingyun raised his hand without turning his head.
Qin Zhao: "...Oh."
In the red sleeves, the fragrance of flowers and wine is fragrant, the guests are pushing the cups and changing the cups, the beautiful women are smiling and laughing, and the delicate female voices in the downstairs hall are singing the tunes, which are clearly introduced into the upper wing through the floor, which complements this scene. The room was very quiet.
Su Shiyu withdrew his scrutiny eyes, smiled and nodded to the maid who served tea: "I'm sorry."
"You're welcome, son." The maid blushed and stepped aside.
"I've kept you waiting," Jing Shu put the curtain on the silver hook and looked sideways at the young man who was holding her hand behind her, "It's alright, come out."
The young man walked slowly in front of Su Shiyu. He looked delicate and beautiful, but his face was a little pale, and he looked at Su Shiyu uneasily.
Su Shiyu looked at him carefully, and asked in a soft voice, "Your name is Chen Siheng?"
The boy nodded.
Su Shiyu smiled lightly and continued gently: "You should have seen me when you were young, do you remember?"
Chen Siheng glanced at Su Shiyu hesitantly, burying his head and shaking his head.
Su Shiyu pondered for a moment, and then moved his eyes to Jing Shu who was standing aside, "I forgot to thank the girl. If the girl hadn't rescued him at that time, I'm afraid he would have died in the fire."
"I just happened to be passing by, I just raised my hand." Jing Shu said.
"It's just that I don't know something," Su Shiyu said. "How did the girl, a weak girl, bring him out of the sea of fire?"
Jing Shu smiled and shook her head, "Where do I have that ability? He ran out by accident, fell in front of my car and passed out. I look pitiful at this young age, so I put him first. I brought it back. Now that someone I know has come over, I feel a lot more relieved."
"So it is." Su Shiyu nodded, looking at Chen Siheng who only showed his hair to himself, thought for a moment and then said softly, "I am your grandfather's colleague, and he has always had a good relationship with my family, so I looked for it. You are long."
Chen Siheng remained silent.
Su Shiyu continued patiently: "I'm here to help you, you don't have to be afraid of me."
The man's voice was gentle and gentle, and his tense body relaxed slightly involuntarily.
Seeing this, Su Shiyu asked slowly, "How much do you remember about that day?"
Chen Siheng raised his head slowly, glanced at Jingshu, and then at Su Shiyu, his eyes were empty, as if he was still immersed in that nightmarish night and did not wake up, he opened his mouth, it seemed extremely difficult: "I... can't remember, it's so messy... it's all fire..."
Su Shiyu was about to open his mouth to guide, but Chen Siheng himself continued intermittently: "I only hear... Who is my father talking to, he calls the other party... "
"What do you call the other party?" Su Shiyu looked at him.
"Call... call him," Chen Siheng said after a few pauses, his expression actually showing some pain, and vaguely said: "Call him too..."
"Hey, this lord! Our girl is not seen!" The sharp female voice that suddenly sounded shocked Chen Siheng, and the voice stopped abruptly.
"It really doesn't work, wait a moment, I'll ask the girl, hey, don't—"
The carved wooden door creaked open, a sandalwood incense fan lifted the veil, revealing a pair of beautiful eyebrows, Chu Mingyun saw Su Shiyu sitting at the table, and smiled, "I said why stop me like this, It turns out that there are distinguished guests."
The bustard followed him in embarrassment, and looked at the woman standing there fearfully, Jing Shu touched her gaze and smiled, "Since this son has already come, don't make people unhappy, you go down. Bar."
As if the bustard had been granted amnesty, she hurriedly left. Jing Shu paused and asked Chu Mingyun with a graceful smile, "Is this young master looking for me?"
Chu Mingyun glanced at her with a smile, didn't answer, but walked straight towards Su Shiyu, "I said a long time ago that you were destined, but you still don't believe me."
Su Shiyu frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"
It's a real life where we don't meet.
According to the law, court officials are not allowed to enter sensual places. Now that two important officials from the DPRK and China are gathered here, it can be seen that this brothel is either going to be set on fire or demolished.
"Since you're here, then I'm naturally—" Chu Mingyun put his arm on Su Shiyu's shoulder, leaned slightly closer, bit the corner of his mouth and said with a full smile, "Come and catch the adulterer."
Su Shiyu stood up uncomfortably and took a few steps back, and said with a faint smile, "You're joking."
Chu Mingyun's arm fell into the air, he calmly adjusted his sleeves, and his eyes swept to the boy with a look of surprise, "This kid, is Chen Siheng?"
As soon as he said this, he and Su Shiyu looked at each other again, thinking about the news of the report from the person who escorted Chen Xuanwen earlier, smiled, and they understood each other.
Jing Shu also smiled and said, "It seems that this son is also here to find someone. Since we know each other, please sit down and have a cup of tea."
The two of them took their seats, and Su Shiyu reassured Chen Siheng: "It's okay, you continue what you just wanted to say, what does your father call each other?"
"I..." Chen Siheng opened his mouth, and Jing Shu's hand was on his shoulder, he trembled suddenly, looked at the two men in front of him in panic, and was speechless.
"What's the matter, are you still afraid?" Jing Shu leaned down and hugged him gently, and said softly, "These two young masters are here to help you, they won't hurt you, you don't need to be afraid."
Chen Siheng grabbed her sleeve, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Jing Shu sighed helplessly, raised her eyes and said to them: "Young Master doesn't know anything, and his condition will not be very good in the future, and he is easily frightened. I am afraid that he will be frightened again."
Chu Mingyun looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile, "So, it's not the right time to blame me?"
"What are you talking about," Jing Shu smiled, "Can I take him to the back to be quiet first, and ask him when he's better, son?"
Su Shiyu smiled and said, "Alright, then I will trouble the girl."
"I also ask the two young masters to forgive me." Jing Shu bowed her body and took Chen Siheng to the inner room, her figure was separated behind Dan Qingping.
Su Shiyu took a sip of tea, and his eyes fell on Chu Mingyun, "I didn't expect you to care about Chen Xuanwen so much, and you actually came to such a place in person."
"Each each other," Chu Mingyun said slowly, "I didn't expect you to be here, and you can still look like a businessman. I really admire it."
"It's the right thing to do, why can't I look like this?"
Chu Mingyun turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "This is not a proper place, of course it is very strange for you to be like this."
"Then what are your high points? I would like to hear the details." Su Shiyu said.
Chu Mingyun hooked the corners of his lips, lowered his voice a bit confusing, stared at him and said, "You want to know? Then let's find an empty room, and I'll teach you."
Su Shiyu was stunned for a while, but he didn't react for a while. Yu Guangli saw the maid's ears turning red before he understood. After a long silence, he said: "Chen Xuanwen is a commoner and has passed away, why do you still care so much about him? thing?"
It's been a long time since I've seen such a blunt topic.
Chu Mingyun looked back boringly and replied, "Chen Xuanwen is kind to me after all, and he couldn't protect him, so he naturally wanted to look at his grandson."
His answer surprised Su Shiyu, but before he could ask any more questions, Jing Shu had already led Chen Siheng out again.
"Little devil, do you understand?" Chu Mingyun asked.
Chen Siheng lowered his eyes, "I... remember."
"Father, he seems... to call that person, my lord." The words were choked.
Su Shiyu's eyes darkened, but he didn't speak.
Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu asked some more questions. Chen Siheng answered vaguely and confusedly. It seemed that there was chaos at the time. He was young and didn't know much. If I can't ask anything, it's not a problem if it goes on like this. The two of them got up and planned to leave, Chu Mingyun glanced at Chen Siheng who was standing there motionless, raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't follow along, you live here. Are you happy?"
Chen Siheng stepped back and stood behind Jing Shu. Jing Shu also looked at him in surprise, softly persuading him to pull him out, but he stubbornly refused to move his footsteps, his face was as pale as paper, but his demeanor was stubbornness that was rare in the past few days.
Su Shiyu smiled lightly and said, "He trusts the girl very much. Since he doesn't want to leave, we can't force it." He looked at Jing Shu, "It seems that we will have to trouble the girl for a while."
Jing Shu recovered from the surprise, and smiled hurriedly, "You're welcome, sir, since that's the case... I'll take care of it on my behalf."
Chu Mingyun gave them a meaningful look, sneered, and walked out.
"Master Chu," Su Shiyu stopped him not far from the red sleeves, "There is a teahouse in front, I wonder if Master Chu has time to have a cup of tea with me?"
Chu Mingyun turned around unhurriedly, "Didn't you just drink it?"
"… "
"Oh," Chu Mingyun smiled, "let's go."
The two of them went to the teahouse, took a quiet seat and sat down, Chu Mingyun propped his cheeks and pushed the tea cup away a little, and said straight to the point: "There's no one else at the moment, you have to speak straight, I can't drink it anyway. "
Su Shiyu smiled lightly, but also a lot more simply, "Does Master Chu believe what he said?"
"Chen Siheng is the real person, but the words are not necessarily the same."
"It seems that we think the same thing. The other girl Jingshu behaved a little strangely, which made me think of something. If possible, I hope to join forces with Master Chu again, just like in the dungeon that day."
"Oh—?" Chu Mingyun looked at him, "You know that the woman is wrong, so you dare to let Chen Siheng stay there?"
"With such a stubborn appearance, does Master Chu really intend to take him away forcibly?" Su Shiyu said: "After all, this is in Beijing, and the girl Jingshu knew we were paying attention, so naturally she didn't dare to attack him, but it was unnecessary. Too worried."
Chu Mingyun smiled noncommittally and said, "What do you want to do with me?"
Su Shiyu gently rubbed the tea cup with his fingertips, "Master Chu naturally understands that some people are trying to stir up the situation in Beijing. Although the relationship between you and me is not harmonious, if you deal with foreign enemies, you can always be an ally, right?"
"I treat you so deeply, why do you always think that you and I are not in harmony? It really hurts my heart." Chu Mingyun sighed.
"Master Chu." Su Shiyu looked at him.
"… you say."
Su Shiyu withdrew his gaze and stopped circling around, "The governor of Jingzhao was paying attention to an underground casino before, but it was hidden very deep, and I haven't been able to find out any secrets, but I accidentally discovered it when I was looking for Chen Siheng these few days, Hong Xiu Zhao has something to do with that casino."
Chu Mingyun thought for a while, and his smile deepened, "In the brothel, there are news exchanges, intelligence gathering, gold and silver exchange in the casino, and money. If it is really one person who is behind the manipulation, then the abacus is really good."
Su Shiyu nodded, "Master Chu, would you like to come and see it with me?"
Chu Mingyun chuckled, "Of course I'm happy."
