MTL - Kunning-Chapter 186 visitor

Lu Xian fell on his back in anger, and You Fangyin was not happy either.

After leaving the banquet, he immediately returned to Xiebai Residence.

At this time, Jiang Xuening was ordering people to go to Yangzhou to arrest Wei Liang.

Seeing that the day of Jiangning Qiuwei was approaching, she thought that Wei Liang would return to Jinling after returning to the field to arrange the potatoes, but she didn't expect to see no one after waiting for two days. I sent someone to ask, only to find out that this person actually said that farming is a big deal, and the rural examination is casual.

Is this okay?

In any case, it is the fame of Tanhua in the previous life. Even if he likes to farm the land and has the ability to farm the land, he can only do it after he has an official status in the previous life. The common people regard him as the **** of agriculture. Although Jiang Xuening used him to do things, she had her own selfish intentions and was seeking her own self-interest, but if his official career was delayed, how could she feel happy? So the anger does not come from one place.

Seeing You Fangyin coming, she gave a wry smile: "You came just in time. I'm sending people to arrest Wei Liang and take him to Jinling. At least he's bound to finish the provincial exam. How can there be such a scholar in the world?"

These scholars really have their own ambitions.

It's fine for Lu Xian to help Xie Wei in business, after all Xie Wei is a capable person; but Wei Liang helps him farm, so what's the matter?

If it was in the past, You Fangyin might have laughed once when she heard it, but now she heard that she just forced a smile.

Jiang Xuening saw that she had something to do.

Eyeballs rolled slightly, vaguely guessing something, and asked directly: "Meet Lu Xian again?"

On the bank of the rockery in Xiebaiju, there are dry lotus leaves all over the lake.

Jiang Xuening was standing by the lake, holding fish food in her hand.

You Fangyin hesitated in his heart, actually he didn't really want to disturb her, but the hidden fear finally surpassed the hesitation, and finally said: "Meet it."

She detailed everything about meeting Lu Xian today, and only concealed the part about embarrassing Lu Xian.

Jiang Xuening frowned immediately after hearing this, and remained silent for a long time.

You Fangyin said: "I heard the news about the princess from the Tatar side during the banquet. Lu Xian wants to find you, is it related to this matter?"

A merchant of medicinal materials at the border said that Her Royal Highness the Princess may have been pregnant in the royal court of Tatar.

Jiang Xuening felt dazed.

What she was most worried about was still here. Because I had been mentally prepared for too long in advance, I didn't feel too much shock at this moment. I only felt the heaviness and sadness of a fate that cannot be changed by others.

But she wants to go against this unreasonable and repeated fate!

In her previous life, she did not know the news that the princess was pregnant in advance, but only after the Tatars invaded the Central Plains, did she hear that Shen Zhiyi had suffered an accident, and after she became pregnant, she was slaughtered by the Tatars as a sacrificial flag!

If the Tatars were going to invade with troops, how could they leave behind the princesses of the enemy country and the children with the blood of the enemy country?

A nauseous feeling of nausea gradually crept up.

There was a faint smell of blood in Jiang Xuening's throat.

As the saying goes, good people are rewarded with good rewards, but how could Shen Zhiyi in her previous life end up like that?

She clenched her palms tightly so that she could restrain the trembling caused by fear, and said decisively: "No matter why Lu Xian came to me, it's time for me to find him now. Be smart. If you are a person, go find out where Lu Xian is staying, and pass a card to him. I want to see him."

Although Jinling is big and has a lot of people, a big businessman like Lu Xian came here for the business of introducing salt, and he has many friends, so it is not difficult to find out where he lives.

It didn't take much effort for the subordinates to find the annex where he was staying.

It's just that when I went to deliver the greeting card, I found out that Lu Xian was not at the residence.

Jiang Xuening originally planned to hand over the greeting card, and then went to visit Lu Xian, how could he have thought that he would not be there?

Doubts abounded at the moment.

She frowned and asked, "He's not here, where did he go?"

The little boy who was in charge of handing over the greeting card bowed and replied: "I asked the concierge of the other building, and said that Boss Lu has business in Yangzhou and needs to be dealt with urgently. He rode out in the afternoon. He left in a hurry. He didn't say when he'd be back."

Jiang Xuening's heart sank when she heard this.

You Fangyin said from the side: "Then maybe we have to wait for him to come back."

Jiang Xuening didn't speak for a while.

You Fangyin felt uneasy: "Miss, don't you think so?"

Jiang Xuening said: "If it's just about business, the boat from Jinling to Yangzhou goes down the Yangtze River, and the boat travels very fast. Where do I need to ride a horse to go downstream?"

You Fangyin was shocked: "You mean..."

Jiang Xuening closed her eyes: "I'm afraid he didn't go to Yangzhou."

At this juncture, is there anything that can make Lu Xian leave Jinling?

She had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't dare to make a conclusion.

Immediately, I first ordered people to go to the annex where Lu Xian lived every day to inquire if he had returned to Jinling, but on the other hand, he immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Huangzhou, Hubei, and handed it over to Yanlin, and asked him where he was. If there is any definite news related to Shen Zhiyi, the second is to ask if Lu Xian is with him, and what plans he has.

It took Lu Xian a whole ten days to go there.

It wasn't until the eleventh day that officials from the Huaihe River and Huaihe River patrolled the salt road held a banquet in Qingyuan, inviting all the salt merchants to discuss next year's salt import and the emperor's southern tour. The other hall changed clothes and hurried to the banquet.

Jiang Xuening immediately decided to wait for someone outside Qingyuan.

The Qing Garden is built on the edge of the Qinhuai River, covering a very large area, half of which faces the river. It was originally built by the Xie family in Jinling in the previous dynasty when it was in its heyday. It's a pity that the Xie family had already declined in this dynasty, and the garden fell into the hands of corrupt officials, and was later fined and confiscated as official property by the court. Now it is only used to entertain imperial envoys, princes and nobles who are envoys to the south of the Yangtze River, or for official banquets.

Everyone in Jinling knows this place.

Jiang Xuening naturally also knew, after all, Xie Wei was born in the Xie family in Jinling. When he was nominated on the gold list back then, everyone said that he would revive the Xie family. It's a pity that the Xie family's bloodline is already thin, and Xie Wei doesn't seem to be very partial to his family, so the Xie family has not improved much. Everyone in the previous life commented on Xie Wei, saying that he was the last ray of brilliance in the new dynasty of the once huge Xie clan in the "Old King Xietang Qianyan".

It's just that the banquet here is a salt merchant invited by the government. Jiang Xuening hides behind the scenes, and she has no identity as a salt merchant on the surface, and the crowds in Qingyuan are obviously not a good place to talk, so she simply makes people slant in Qingyuan. The Guanlan Tea House on the opposite side has reserved a second floor, waiting to see Lu Xian directly after the inside is finished.

In the past few days, Wei Liang has been taken back to Jinling by her.

Seeing that Jiang Xuening was about to go out, he was secretly pleased for a while, thinking that he might take the opportunity to slip away.

Where is the comfort of the fields in this Jinling City?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuening, who had already walked out, turned her head, looked him up and down for a moment, and said, "You can go with me."

Wei Liang:? ? ?

There was ten thousand rejections in his heart, wishing he could sit on the chair and not get up, his face turned green, and he said bitterly: "My boss, you go to talk about big things, talk about business, what am I going to do?"

Jiang Xuening looked at him with a half-smile: "It's very important to take you along."

Firstly, it was to prevent this potential candidate from slipping away just because he said so, and no one would be seen when he went back to the township examination; secondly, if the news about Tatar and Shen Zhiyi was true, she had her own plan, Qian, the guard Liang didn't understand, and she didn't understand food, so it was just right to take him to see Lu Xian.

After finishing speaking, he didn't even bother to look at his face, and directly carried him into the carriage.

It's just that Jiang Xuening didn't know at all that her carriage left, and a group of people drove fast horses, but they arrived behind.

The leader reined in his horse and leaned forward.

A young man with a tired face got off his horse and asked the concierge: "May I ask if the master of your mansion is there? My husband came from a long way and has something to call on."

The concierge looked at a group of dozens of people, turned his eyes around the head of the person, and for some reason he was a little nervous, feeling a little apprehensive and fearful, and replied tremblingly: "Our master has just left the house."

The boy was startled, and turned to look at the leader.

The leader held the reins in his hand, his clothes were covered with dust from servants, and he only asked, "Where did you go?"
