Meng Ji suddenly came to visit and brought gifts, which made Su Ren flattered. Chang Shi, how big an official is this? The person who usually wants to see God and worship Buddha came to visit today. Guangji Street was almost blocked.
"Whose house is this? Chang Shi actually came to visit in person? Could it be that it has some connection with the prefect?"
"Hey! You are really right. This family has just moved here. They are from Wenshui. It is said that they are the disciples of the prefect!"
"No wonder! The prefect's disciples and the chief historian all visit them personally. Our chief historian is truly a courteous and virtuous corporal."
"Haha, you only know one thing but not the other. Although this man is a disciple of the prefect, he is a merchant. He bought Zhu Laosi's yard a few months ago, and he also worked as a merchant a few days ago. It seems that we are
Long history seeks from others."
"It's nonsense. How big of an official can one be as a merchant?"
"Haha, just watch! Our new mayor is not easy to mess with!"
When the discussion started on the street, everything was discussed. Of course, the most talked about was that the merchants of Chang Shi's family asked the mayor to take care of them. After all, Su Ren was also a student of the prefect. Chang Shi couldn't use force, so he had to come to the door to intercede.
Su Ren personally greeted him outside the gate. Everything was coded one by one, and matters such as finding people to monitor and arrest people were kept secret. Chang Shi came to the door in person. This was fair and aboveboard, and it was necessary to welcome him.
Meng Ji got out of the car with a smile on his face: "Su City has chosen a good place. It is closest to the East and West Second City. If there are any problems, the city can solve them immediately. It's not bad. It seems that it belongs to the various departments of the government."
Everyone should learn from Su Shipu and imitate him."
"Chang Shi was so impressed. It's an interesting story to tell. I originally asked Shopkeeper Cui of Xiangfu House to buy a property for me in Chengdu. Who knew he would choose this place? If he knew he would be an official, it would be better to live in Dongcheng. Now
As a result, I have to travel through more than half of Chengdu every day, which is very painful!"
"Hahaha……"
The two of them smiled and entered the courtyard. Tables and chairs had been set up under the big mulberry tree, and Su Ren asked Meng Ji to take a seat in the courtyard. The rest of the people also had corresponding seats, but they were not very close to the Eight Immortals Table.
Su Ren personally poured tea for Meng Ji: "The humble house is simple and simple, and the courtyard is still a bit like this. I have a long history of grievances, so please bear with me."
Meng Ji smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I feel comfortable sitting in this courtyard talking. The lights in the room are dim and I can't see clearly in broad daylight. I don't like it either."
"Chang Shi is joking. My house is simple. I am planning to hire some masons to tidy up the house in the past few days. I will make sure it looks brand new next time I come back. If Chang Shi doesn't mind, will he also regulate your house?"
"How embarrassing is this!"
"The chief minister is busy all day long, and I have nothing to do. Isn't it just that the chief minister has to share the worries of the prefect and the chief minister?"
The two of them talked indifferently, chatting and laughing, and no one brought up the topic. Meng Bi, who was beside him, felt itchy and wanted to ask Su Ren for his father why he wanted to detain his people. But because his father was present, he was not qualified to speak.
Meng Ji waved his hand and called Meng Bi to him: "Let me introduce to Su Shi Bo, this is the old eldest son Meng Bi. From now on, he will be responsible for the business affairs of the family. If he wants to make a living under the market man, I hope Su
Please give me a lot of support from the market leaders."
"Brother Meng!" Su Ren quickly stood up and saluted Meng Bi: "I have admired you for a long time, and I dare not say anything about my support. Don't worry, Chang Shi. As long as I, Su Ren, am here, there will never be any problems with the Meng family's shop!"
"Then there's the Laosu City Hall!" Meng Ji nodded and smiled: "The City Hall will go to Bodi soon. I thought about it again and again. The trip was very difficult and dangerous, so I took some things from home. Maybe I can use them.
To contribute to the country, we should do our best, and we cannot let the mayor go into danger alone, so we have selected three or five servants so that we can take care of the mayor on the road!"
"There is no need to thank you, the mayor. The mayor is new and everything has not been settled yet. I have been too busy these days. I suddenly remembered it today, so I took the liberty to come here. Please bear with me!"
"Chang Shi took care of me, how can I blame you? I am grateful, I cannot thank you enough!"
When Meng Ji left, Su Ren personally escorted him out of the door. The two chatted for a long time before getting in the car and saying goodbye. The people on the street had not dispersed yet, and they stretched their heads one by one, hoping to see something. Unfortunately,
They were disappointed. They didn't see the sparks that should have appeared. Instead, they were laughing and joking, as if they had been friends for several lifetimes.
Watching the ordinary carriages and horses leaving Guangji Street, Su Ren turned around and entered the door. There were five big and round men standing inside the door. These were the servants left by Meng Ji. Su Ren looked at them for a long time and raised his hands: "Thank you for your hard work."
, go down and rest, we will set off in a few days, Liu Gao, give each of the brothers five hundred dollars to settle down at home, no one can say whether it will be a good or bad trip, we must have a guarantee."
"No need!" The strong man at the head refused coldly: "We are ordered by Chief Shi to protect Su Shiyu. From this moment on, wherever Su Shiyu is, our brothers will be there, and we will never leave Shiyu!"
Huang Shisan was furious and glared: "You bastard! My husband doesn't need you to watch, get out!"
The leading man stood dumbfounded: "Chang Shi said that we will definitely protect the city governor when we go here. We dare not be tired and ask the city governor for your forgiveness."
Hawking has already drawn his sword: "My elder brother doesn't need you, disappear immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
"Pah, pah, pah, pah!" There were five crisp sounds in succession, and the five men lay limply on the ground. They clapped their hands sternly: "If you want to drive people away, you can't scare them with just a few words. Throw them out like this."
That's right outside!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away, leaving a whole yard of people stunned.
Gou Tianming looked at Su Ren: "Sir, how should we deal with these people?"
A cold light flashed in Hawking's eyes: "It's obvious that Meng Ji sent us to monitor us. It's so secret that we can't reveal it. This old boy really thinks that we don't dare to kill people?"
Su Ren slapped Hawking on the back of the head: "Kill, kill, kill, you know how to kill. Since Meng Ji dares to send him, you are not afraid of us killing him! Lock him up first and let me think about it."
Gou Tianming led his men to deal with the Meng Ji servants who were knocked unconscious by Lengjun. Liu Gao waved his hand to disperse the crowd and went about his own business. Sima Xiangru stood not far away and looked at Su Ren.
"Meng Ji has posed a problem for Mr. Ji? If we bring these people, these people will be his spies. If we don't bring them, he will have an excuse to say that Mr. is ungrateful. In the future, Mr. Ji will hand over the two people who are monitoring you.
, I’m afraid no one believes that those two people are from the Mengji faction.”
"What do you think we should do? Really kill him?"
Sima Xiangru shook his head quickly: "You can't kill! Absolutely can't kill! Since Meng Ji wants an spy, we will give him an spy. It would be even better if we can gather these five people under Sir."
"Difficult! If Meng Ji can actually deliver it, there must be a way to make these people fall in love with him."
"I don't think so. These people all have Shuzhong accents and are locals. You must have a way, sir! Besides, Meng Ji will never trust anyone easily, so there must be a breakthrough."
Su Ren nodded, indicating that he had been taught. After taking two steps, he turned back and looked at Sima Xiangru, as if he didn't recognize him, staring straight at him.
Sima Xiangru looked at himself up and down and felt that there was nothing wrong with him: "What do you mean, sir?"
"I was thinking, why have you suddenly become so dark? It seems that you can't do too many dark things, otherwise the whole person will become dark. You are the best example. After seeing it once, you become dark.
Already."
Sima Xiangru's old face turned red: "Ashamed, ashamed!"
Meng Bi sat in the cart with an unhappy look on his face. Meng Ji sat opposite Meng Bi, closing his eyes and saying nothing. The ox cart was walking on the streets of Chengdu, and the wheels made a rhythmic sound on the bluestone.
After holding it in for a long time, Meng Bi was about to open his mouth. Meng Ji suddenly said: "Do you want to ask me why I am suddenly so nice to Su Ren?"
Meng Bi said nothing.
Meng Ji sighed: "If something happens and someone catches you, you have to find a way to solve it. Don't just cover it up. The more you think about covering up, the bigger things will happen and the more people will catch you.
"In the past, I only asked you to learn how to do business, but now you should learn how to behave."
"Yes! The kid has remembered it."
The two began to be silent again. When the bullock cart returned home, someone reported that Luyi had returned to Huiyifang. He had not done anything in the past few days. He was the same as usual all day long. He occasionally came out to play music, and they were all regular customers.
Prefect, I won’t contact you if you don’t drive.
Meng Ji nodded and sent the man out. He sat down in the study and asked Meng Bi: "What do you think of this woman?"
"My child thinks that this woman must know that we are spying on her, so in order to hide it, she must have reached some conditions with that Su Ren, so she pretends as if nothing happened."
"It's very possible. It's also possible that she didn't reach an agreement with Su Ren. This woman has no skills and has to go back to her old life."
Meng Bi was greatly surprised: "It's impossible, right? This woman still has some tricks. If it weren't for us, she might have brought the Bo people here, and we wouldn't have so much labor in the mines in the south."
Meng Ji smiled slightly: "It seems that you have made some progress. Let those people monitor you more closely. You must not let this woman follow Su Ren to Bodi!"
Stretching comfortably, Su Ren came to the yard with tea. Today, Lengyue made a meal of water cakes, which are noodles. As a northwest person, this is my favorite. Su Ren ate two of them in one go.
A big bowl. Although there is no chili, it still feels a bit like later generations.
Gou Tianming came over with a bowl, but was stopped by Su Ren: "How is it? Are those guys still honest?"
Gou Tianming shook his head: "He kept shouting that he was going to commit suicide. I had someone tie him up. I'll be honest after a few days of starvation."
Su Ren nodded: "Okay, you go out in the afternoon and ask Fatty Cui to send someone to inquire about the origins of these people and report back immediately if there is anything."
Gou Tianming agreed, holding the bowl and went to chat with Huo Laosi.
Being disturbed by Meng Jiyi, many things had to start again. According to Su Ren's plan, the day of departure kept approaching, but more and more things were entangled, which was very unpleasant. Watching the sunset, I suddenly thought of myself
When I first came to Dahan, I felt like I saw the fairy sister in my dream, and I didn’t know if I would have a chance to see her again. (To be continued)
