Chapter 321 Chapter 321: Xu Jie of the Xu Family [Requesting monthly votes]
"People from Tianhai? People from Wu Xian?"
When talking about Tianhai, Shen Tang thought of Wu Xian.
The facts were just as she guessed.
"Wu Xian came to me to ask for Zhao Feng? You're not so stingy, are you? His close confidants have not been wronged by me..." Shen Tang said the most shameless words with the most innocent face, In the end, he sighed and waved, "Bring someone here..."
The messenger from Tianhai was led to the simple reception hall.
It is said to be the main hall for guests, but it is actually the place where Shen Tang works every day. There are no decorations to decorate the facade, only stacks of letters and official documents. She was already poor, and Wu Xian also knew that she was poor, so there was no need to pretend to be fat.
"What is the name of the envoy?"
The envoy sent by Wu Xian is a man with an unremarkable appearance. He looks about thirty years old, wearing a Confucian shirt, with an elegant temperament and a weak appearance. , wearing a small leather crown carved with dark patterns. Although it is not strong, it does not give people a feeling of weakness.
"Tianhai Xu Jie, written in the text, met Shen Jun."
This man had clearly done his homework before coming.
Seeing that Shen Tang was not tall, young in appearance, and beautiful in appearance, he was not surprised at all, nor showed any sign of arrogance or arrogance. On the contrary, the posture is respectful and cautious, and Shen Tang is completely treated as a character on the same level as the protagonist Wu Xian.
Xu Jie?
Xu Wenzhu?
Never heard of it at all.
He had not been seen in the Allied tent before.
Shen Tang did not say any pleasantries and went straight to the point: "I wonder what Brother Wu sent you here for? But what does Brother Wu have over there?"
Xu Jie said with a smile: "My master ordered me to I am here to congratulate Mr. Shen on the New Year, and I specially send you New Year greetings. I also invite Mr. Shen to take a look. "
He took out a letter sealed with fire paint.
Needless to say, this is Wu Xian’s New Year’s greeting letter.
The servant took the letter and handed it to Shen Tang.
The roots of Shen Tang’s ears hidden under her temples were reddish.
Awkward.
Completely forgot about this incident.
According to common sense, she should also send New Year's greetings and some souvenirs to her former allies in the Allied Forces with whom she had "friendship". The price is not important, what is important is this "feeling"—— By the way, tell the other person that you are still thinking about them.
_(:з)∠)_
While taking a knife and carefully untying the paint, Shen Tang smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "It's my fault. I should be the one sending someone to wish Brother Wu New Year's greetings." "Yes, it's just that He Yin's illness is common and he forgets everything when he is busy. When the envoy returns, I will trouble the envoy to apologize to Brother Wu for me..."
Xu Jie was slightly surprised.
He didn’t expect Shen Tang to admit it so readily.
According to normal logic, we should just quibble and make amends, right?
Such magnanimity made Xu Jiegao look twice.
He said: "It doesn't matter. My master told me about this before he came to Heyin. I guessed that Lord Shen would be entangled in Heyin's secular affairs. In addition, there were not many people available in his tent, so he might not have time. [Self], let alone take care of these trivial matters."
Xu Jie also asked about it before coming to see Shen Tang.
The administration office did not stop work for a day.
Even New Year’s Eve is not closed for holidays.
Xu Jie didn't believe it at first.
When I came over, I saw piles of letters next to Shen Tang. The office environment was simple, even a pot of charcoal fire was stingy in the winter, and the clothes were simple. There was no trace of the appearance that a powerful lord should have. It actually made Xu Jie feel somewhat fond of him.
Shen Tang said hurriedly and shyly: "Messenger, don't say any more. Brother Wu has helped me a lot, how can things related to him be ordinary 'human affairs'. Hey, if there is a chance, I will I have to go to Tianhai in person to apologize to Brother Wu..."
Xu Jie just responded with a smile.
Everyone knows that Shen Tang's words are just for the occasion. She is not Wu Xian's vassal, nor does she rely on Wu Xian's support. Although the two families are very different in power, in terms of status, Shen Tang and Wu Xian are equal. Just listen to the so-called "go to Tianhai in person to apologize to Brother Wu".
It’s really not necessary.
Shen Tang opened Wu Xian’s letter.
The first half of the letter is simple and homely.
Shen Tang read it carefully word for word, and felt a little guilty - after all, she secretly followed Gu Ren to "backstab" Wu Xian. He Yin originally thought it was a loan, but she borrowed Gu Ren's hand to let him Zheng Qiao named her the justifiable Sheriff of Heyin County.
Wu Xian didn't write her down in his notebook, and even sent someone to send her New Year's greetings, which made Shen Tang blush.
After chatting about home affairs, he asked about Zhao Feng’s current situation.
Coincidentally, Xu Jie also asked about Zhao Feng.
Shen Tang: "..."
How should she answer?
One of Wu Xian's precious six generals was commanded by him to demolish houses, move bricks, and cultivate land? If this guy knew that his precious eyes were treated like this, I don't know how distressed he would be. Shen Tang had no choice but to answer lightly.
Zhao Feng is very good, eating well, drinking well, and sleeping well.
Xu Jie smiled slightly and said very gently and politely that he and Zhao Feng were colleagues and had a good relationship in private. Therefore, before he left Tianhai, he also received a commission from Zhao Feng’s family - his wife asked him to pass on a few Give Zhao Feng clothes and shoes.
"Look at the time. General Zhao should be busy outside the city at the moment. He will probably come back after noon. Does the envoy have to wait for a while, or should I send someone to take you over to look for him?"< br>
Shen Tang couldn't help but murmur in her heart - Wu Xian didn't really suspect that she was holding someone captive, right? Zhao Feng waited for Zuo Geng on the 12th, bringing all his personal belongings with him. How could he hold him back if he wanted to leave? He is still gentle and considerate on the surface, and will do no harm to the end.
"Don't worry, I've been bothering you for the past two days."
Shen Tang continued to mutter in his heart.
Good guy, do you want to stay for inspection?
Not only can’t you object, but you must also welcome him with a smile, ask someone to arrange Xu Xie’s residence, and get a “tour guide”.
Shen Tang thought about it and entrusted the important task to Gu Chi. Looking at the entire Fugu City, no one is more suitable than him.
"Trouble watching the tide to find out Xu Jie's true purpose." Shen Tang stood on tiptoe and patted Gu Chi on the shoulder, "There is a long way to go!" Just a pair of bowls and chopsticks, how lonely and cold it is. Only work can make people forget their sorrow and loneliness. Shen Tang arranged it without any regrets.
"My lord, you suspect that this person has other motives?"
Shen Tang said: "I offended Wu Xian last time. It is impossible to say that Wu Xian has no grudge at all, right? Wu Xian His character is not bad, but Qin Li next to him is a "non-kind" person who has been stamped by Yuan Liang, so I will naturally be worried."
Gu Chi: "..."
This is probably the crow laughing at the pig.
Is Qishan himself a "good person"?
But, entertaining Xu Jie?
He is willing.
Who is Xu Jie?
As the lord, Shen Tang didn't know, but as an aide, he must find out the situation of nearby forces. Naturally, Xu Jie was also one of the intelligence targets. Xu Jie was born in the Xu family of Tianhai, and he was the eldest son of the Xu family, and the Xu family...
Let's put it this way -
The wealth of Fu Gu's seven local gangsters over the years is not enough for the whole family. The Xu family is not the most powerful in Tianhai, but it is definitely the richest. The family has a wide range of businesses and has many "transnational" businesses, which is the "big fortune" of Wu Xian's power.
(ω)
I finished writing and suddenly thought of...
If Xu Jie calls himself, it would be "Jie Hà Hà Hà Hà"...
It seems like he is taking advantage of others just like Captain Yang's "Yang Gong" name.
PS: _(:з)∠)_, let me ask, do you guys still have monthly passes?
