Chapter 208 The girl who grew up overnight
The next day, Su Chen and Ling'er returned to Su's house in Runzhou City in a carriage. At this time, Bai Susu and Xu Qingwan were in his room, chatting with Qing Qing who was lying on the bed to relieve her boredom. When they heard Su Chen and Ling'er enter,
After entering the courtyard, the two women got up and went out to greet each other.
Su Chen was slightly shocked when he saw Bai Susu and Xu Cainv walking out of the house. He didn't expect that the two women would appear in his house so early in the morning.
If Bai Susu's appearance here can be explained as being with Qingqing, then what is the reason for Xu Cainv's visit?
"Su Chen, you are back, are you not injured?"
"Ling'er was also rescued, which is great."
The two women were chatting with each other, and their appearance was so flawless that it felt unreal.
Su Chen forced a smile on his face and felt a strange feeling in his heart when he felt the two women's greetings.
In the past, his mind wasn't very clear about feelings, and he had always been confused and confused. But the night before yesterday, he injured himself while playing Qingqing, which stimulated Su Chen and made him grow a lot in an instant. He has realized that these women are always in love with each other.
Being so close to him for no reason could mean that he likes me, right?
These women are the goddesses in the hearts of many men in Runzhou City!
Will they fall in love with me at the same time? This is somewhat unlikely!
Su Chen still couldn't figure it out. He was handsome, but his handsomeness was not obvious!
Xu Cainv seemed to notice Su Chen's doubtful gaze, and smiled slightly: "Originally, I came here today because I wanted to continue to ask you about some problem algorithms and the investigation of objects, but I didn't expect that Su Su and Qing Qing are also here.
He told me everything that happened in the past two days."
After saying this, Xu Qingwan's smile faded, and she said with a hint of coldness in the corners of her brows and eyes: "The Ding family has gone too far. They actually hired murderers to hurt people. Behind the scenes, they led green forest bandits into the city and came to the Su Mansion to kidnap and rob people.
It is really lawless and should be punished."
Bai Susu said from the side: "If it's just the Ding family, it's not something to be afraid of. As long as the Bai family joins forces with several big families to attack together, the Ding family can lose more than half. In addition, this time the murderer was hired to hurt someone, we gave him a lot of money a few days ago."
Reporting my grandfather's poisoning to the prefect would have put the Ding family in legal action. However, the governor Yin Zhengxiong had a close relationship with the Ding family. He guarded Runzhou and had the power to train local regiments. Even the prefect Peng would be punished.
Supervision and restraint make it easy to touch the Ding family."
Xu Qingwan understood what she meant, frowned, and was thinking about a solution.
Su Chen shook his head and said: "Don't bother, I will go to the Han Mansion later and have a few words with Mr. Han, Su Su, just wait for my news!"
Xu Qingwan and Bai Susu looked at Su Chen in surprise and nodded slightly. They both vaguely guessed what Su Chen was going to the Han Mansion to discuss. It must have something to do with Governor Yin and the Ding family.
The second daughter knew that he had a good relationship with Han Xizai, but this matter involved a governor. It was difficult to predict whether Mr. Han would be willing to help.
Su Chen came to the house and inspected Qing Qing's injuries. After a day and night of rest and healing, the toxins in his body had been almost eliminated, and the internal and external injuries had stabilized. As long as he rested for two or three months, he might be able to recover.
back to normal.
However, for the restless Peng Nuxia, who used to be lively and active, wielding swords and guns, suddenly asking her to calm down, and not only lying down, but also sitting upright, was a bit torturous for her temperament.
"Su Chen, are you not injured?" Peng Qingqing's concerned expression was so expressive that she could no longer hide it.
Both Bai Susu and Xu Cainv noticed a slight difference. It seemed that the Qingqing of today had some changes from the Qingqing of two days ago. She seemed to have become much gentler and caring, and she was not as sharp-tongued as before.
Su Chen shook his head and comforted: "I'm fine. Fortunately, Mr. Bailang is very skilled in martial arts and stopped several gangsters for me. I met a kind-hearted old man and rescued Ling'er. It's lucky that nothing happened to both parties."
People have their own destiny."
After hearing this, the three women all breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little sweat for the brother and sister.
Yang Ling'er came out from behind with a smile at this time, and greeted Qing Qing, Bai Susu, and Xu Cainv. But today, she is no longer constrained by her status when there are many people, but is generous and decent, and even has a smile on her eyebrows and corners of her eyes.
He had a noble look, as if his mind had matured for three years overnight.
Su Chen left the girls chatting at home while he went out to visit Han Mansion.
This time, for his own safety, for the sake of revenge for Ling'er and Qingqing, and for the sake of the Bai family's business, he had to go to the door in person to plead with Minister Han for help.
Su Chen knew very well that Han Xizai was the current leader of the Sun Party, and his followers were all over the court. Even though he was retiring in Runzhou, not interested in political affairs, and without an official position, in fact, Li Yu had secretly sent people to invite him to return to Beijing several times.
.
What's more, through historical records, Su Chen knew that Han Xizai would soon return to Jinling and be promoted to his original position. Not only would he be restored to his original position, but he would also have his title and official title added. The emperor's favor would not decrease but increase. Therefore, Su Chen had to prepare for it in advance.
Hold your thighs and beg the other person for help.
As for giving, it was nothing more than to stand in Sun Dang's camp. In addition, Han Xizai seemed to have some thoughts on asking for help from him, and they did not hesitate to speak out frankly.
When the concierge of the Han Mansion saw him coming to visit Mr. Han, he responded with a smile and immediately went in to pass the news, because he had already learned that Han Shilang valued him very highly, and the young master Han Yunpeng also called him brother-in-law, so he did not dare to neglect him.
After a while, the concierge's servant came back, introduced him into Han's house with enthusiasm, and took him to the study.
Han Xizai was practicing calligraphy in his study. His calligraphy was also highly praised in the Southern Tang Dynasty. His brushwork was unique, powerful, graceful, and bold.
When Su Chen walked into the room, Minister Han smiled slightly and said to Su Chen, "Why do you have time to visit me at home today?"
Su Chen cupped his hands and said, "Remembering that I haven't seen Mr. Han for a follow-up visit in a few days, I immediately came over to visit him as soon as I had some free time. As soon as I walked in, I saw that Mr. Han's expression has recovered to 90%, and he still looks as good as before. I'm so gratified!"
Han Xizai was stunned for a moment and glanced at him, thinking that there was no reason for this young man to be so sweet today.
"Do you have anything to ask for?"
Su Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Han is really good at predicting things!"
Han Xizai put down the brush in his hand and glanced at him with interest, guessing the young man's purpose.
He himself was born into a wealthy family, read poetry and books, became famous at a young age, and became a Jinshi. Then in his twenties, he defected to Yang and Wu. After three generations of kings, he was immersed in the officialdom for decades.
It's true, Su Chen's modest skills can't escape his eyes.
"Tell me what's going on!" Han Xizai sat down, took a sip of tea, and waved for him to sit down.
Su Chen stopped being polite and told on the spot the business confrontation between the Ding family and the Bai family in the past few days, as well as what happened in the Su family the night before yesterday, how Peng Qingqing was injured, Ling'er was arrested, and how he was shocked last night
Po Di was ambushed in the mountains and finally captured the five Jiangdong monsters, all told.
After hearing this, Han Xizai's face turned slightly cold, and he was obviously disgusted by what the Ding family had done.
"Are you worried that Governor Yin will interfere?"
Su Chen answered truthfully: "Yes, as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the rich, and the rich don't fight with the officials. I can't fight against the Ding family, and Bai Susu can't do anything to the Yin governor. If we can persuade the Yin governor to be transferred away from Runzhou, go to
If he goes to work elsewhere, it will be much easier to deal with the Ding family without the governor as a backer."
"It's a bit difficult to transfer the governor of a state!" Han Xizai shook his head, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"This junior is willing to take part in the Autumn Imperial Examination. I am confident that I will be among the top three in the imperial examination and will be able to enter Jinling to participate in the Spring Imperial Examination!" Su Chen expressed some of his thoughts.
Han Xizai smiled secretly in his heart, nodded slightly, and said with a frown: "That's very good, but I am no longer in the court after all. Although I want to help you, it involves too much, so I need to ask someone for help!"
Su Chen knew that the other party would not let go easily, and was still waiting for him to continue to express his position. He secretly complained that this old monkey minister Han Shilang was unkind, so he smiled and said politely: "If there is anything that needs to be done by this junior, Su Chen will definitely do it."
We can do it for Mr. Han by working hard in front of the saddle and behind the horse."
Hearing this, Han Xizai pondered for a moment and said, "What a coincidence, I really have something that I may need your help with."
