But when he turned around, there was no one else there. The passerby immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, and the huge amount of money just slipped away from his hands.
Shen Qing, who had already walked away, naturally didn't know what this passerby was thinking. He had already walked far away. He walked for a long time and went to the city gate to take a look.
He really came here to try his luck. Obviously, he did not have such good luck. Ji Zijin was not here. He was not disappointed. He turned around and asked others about the location of Meng Mansion, and then went to Meng Mansion alone.
The house is over.
For some reason, Shen Qing suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He frowned, suppressed his uneasiness, and hurried to the Meng Mansion.
The Meng Mansion is indeed one of the eight aristocratic families in Wuyun Shangcheng, and its appearance is quite impressive.
The entire wall and gate occupies almost half of the street, and there are two stone statues of mythical beasts squatting in front of the gate. The dark gate looks inconspicuous, but in fact there is a sense of luxury inside. This is from out of town.
Small leaf rosewood.
The small-leaf red sandalwood was already rare, but it was randomly used by the Meng Mansion to make the door of the Meng Mansion, and it was so large that the financial resources of the eight aristocratic families were evident.
Shen Qing made a mental assessment and walked up the steps. There were eight men in gray guarding the door of Meng's Mansion on the left and right.
Shen Qing took one look and knew that their cultivation level was at the sixth level of Tianguang. A few gatekeepers from the Meng Mansion, one of the eight great aristocratic families, were so strong. Shen Qing secretly admired them in his heart. He stepped forward and was about to
He spoke, but he didn't expect to be scolded by those people first.
"Where did you come from, you poor boy? Come to my Meng Mansion and get out of here!" The man in gray clothes standing guard outside scolded him, his words full of disdain.
Shen Qing didn't expect that he would be scolded as soon as he arrived, but thinking about the strict management of the eight aristocratic families, he lowered his head and looked at himself. After the crisis in the past few days, his clothes were already dirty and messy. No wonder
The man in gray said he was a poor boy.
Shen Qing thought about this and thought that he came to them for help and could not cause any disputes, so he seemed particularly easy to talk to.
"Brother, could you please help me inform the Meng family leader that I want to see him." Shen Qing was exceptionally gentle and polite.
But after all, it was night, and the man in gray didn't recognize for a moment that this was the person they were looking for everywhere, so he seemed particularly impatient and disdainful.
"There are so many people who want to see our family master every day. Is it possible that we should notify everyone when they come? Why don't we take a piss and see what we are and whether we have the qualifications? Why don't we get out and stay at the door of our Meng Mansion?"
What are you doing!"
The man in gray sacrificed his weapon fiercely, but unexpectedly, instead of seeing the young man in front of him panic and run away, he instead saw his face become cold.
As soon as Shen Qing heard the words of the man in gray, the young man had a troubled mind. He was unhappy after all. His face turned cold and he said coldly: "I advise this brother to be more polite."
Shen Qing was not happy, and the man in gray was even more unhappy immediately: "How could it be that you, a young boy like you, just let us into the Meng Mansion? Let's not see if you have the qualifications, how dare you... Hey, hey
,what you do."
The man next to the man in gray suddenly poked him and signaled him to stop. The man in gray was cursing, but was suddenly forced to stop. He suddenly looked at his companion next to him angrily and said, "What's wrong?"
The companion frowned slightly and said cautiously, "Look, does this person look familiar?"
The man in gray was very upright and rolled his eyes: "Everyone looks familiar to you, so tell me, he looks familiar to you, who is he?"
The companion touched his chin, suddenly clapped his hands, quickly took out a portrait from behind, and compared it again and again.
The man in gray clothes was also facing him. The night was a little dark and they were a little far away from Shen Qing, so he couldn't see clearly. However, if he squinted his eyes, he could see the whole face of the young man. The young man looked at them with cold eyes.
The man in gray didn't expect that the person who came here was actually him, and he was wearing rags, which was so different from the image on the notice.
After realizing that the person in front of him was the person everyone was looking for, the companion of the man in gray suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "This is the person on the notice!"
The man in gray didn't expect that. He suddenly became frightened and walked down quickly. He nodded and bowed with a smile on his face and said: "Young Master Shen, look, I was blind and ignorant just now, and I offended Young Master Shen. Please forgive me, Young Master Shen." ."
Shen Qing didn't come here to cause trouble. He was just annoyed that the servant looked down on him. But at this time, he had more important things to do and it was inconvenient to pursue him, so he reluctantly nodded, and his expression softened a little: "Since Once the misunderstanding is resolved, there will be no problem."
The man in gray was relieved and secretly glad that Mr. Shen was an easy talker.
Remembering that people from all walks of life are looking for him, and that his master also gave some instructions, the man in gray immediately said: "Master Shen wants to see the master of the family? Why don't you wait at the door for a while, and I will go find the chief steward."
Shen Qing naturally agreed and followed the man in gray to the door.
At this time, the man in gray knew that this was Shen Qing, so he did not dare to neglect, and took him away honestly, without any disrespect. He also seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and led him away calmly.
The man in gray asked Shen Qing to wait at the door for a while, and then the head butler of the Meng Mansion hurried over.
After the chief butler recognized at a glance that this was the young man they had been looking for recently, he nodded, with a calm and composed expression, and called out respectfully: "Mr. Shen."
The middle-aged man in front of me looks experienced and is a respectable person.
Shen Qing took just one glance and secretly made some conclusions in his mind. He smiled and nodded politely and said, "It's the butler's fault."
The chief butler also smiled calmly: "Young Master Shen, you're welcome. Please come with me."
Shen Qing followed him in with an indifferent expression, and the head butler observed the young man all the way.
Although the young man was dressed in rags, he had an extraordinary bearing. After entering the huge Meng Mansion, he followed him without squinting his eyes and was not attracted by the things around him at all.
He was just a young man from the countryside, but he had such magnanimity. It’s no wonder that after his disappearance, people from all walks of life were looking for him everywhere.
The chief steward admired Shen Qing in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Naturally, Shen Qing didn't know what the head butler was thinking. If he knew, he would probably smile.
Although he didn't look at it openly, he was always observing the Meng family from the corner of his eye.
The Meng Mansion is indeed one of the eight aristocratic families in Wuyun Shangcheng, and its internal layout is also extraordinary.
After entering Meng's Mansion, he saw that Meng's Mansion was actually a large garden, covering an area of nearly ten miles, with rockeries, flowing water, small lakes, pavilions, pavilions, arches, bridges and corridors passing through his eyes one by one.
He couldn't help but secretly sigh, it really was the Meng Mansion, one of the eight aristocratic families. The interior was magnificent and self-contained, with a unique style. And because it was a medical family, it was extra gentle. Compared to Wanrenshan, He Wuyun Outer City, this Shangcheng family really opened his eyes.
Shen Qing sighed secretly in his heart. After a while, the head butler stopped, but smiled at Shen Qing and said a little apologetically: "It's unlucky for Mr. Shen to come. Our head of the house happened to have left for something, and he won't be back until the evening at the latest." , I can only feel sorry for Mr. Shen and have to wait here for a day."
Shen Qing naturally nodded, but when he nodded, he hesitated a little. It didn't matter if he waited. After all, he was here to ask for help.
However, what he hesitated about was that he didn't know the Meng family leader. It was just because Ji Zijin said that he would bring him to meet the Meng family leader, so he came here to try his luck. But if he really wanted to see the Meng family leader, , but he hesitated a little.
Shen Qing thought for a while and decided to ask: "Chief Butler, since the head of the Meng family is not here, could you please help me first invite Mr. Ji Zijin from the Supervision Committee?"
The head butler's face showed some doubts: "Master Ji Zijin of the Supervision Committee?" He seemed to have never heard of this name.
Seeing the chief steward's reaction, Shen Qing nodded a little strangely: "Yes, what? Isn't it convenient for the chief steward?" He hesitated.
The chief butler was even more surprised. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "No, no, it's just that I know most of the well-known inspectors, but I have never heard of the name Ji Zijin."
The chief steward was surprised, and Shen Qing was even more puzzled. Haven't you heard of it? How could you not have heard of it? When they entered the city that day, Shen Qing saw with his own eyes that those Tongyou realms at the gate of the city were very important to Ji Zijin. How respectful he was, and he had given him a piece of the inspector's token before. This indirectly showed how high Ji Zijin's status was, and these things couldn't be fake.
However, that's not right. Shen Qing frowned. Ji Zijin said before that he would confess his identity to him, which means that maybe the name he used was also a fake name.
Shen Qing frowned and thought for a moment, and then stopped thinking about it. Ji Zijin's identity was still a mystery. In short, it was better to wait for the Meng family master to come back, and then ask the Meng family master. After meeting Ji Zijin, all the mysteries came naturally. It's all untied.
Shen Qing made up his mind and calmed down, then looked at the butler who was still a little strange, and said with a smile: "It's just no need to worry about the butler."
Although the chief butler was confused, he didn't ask any more questions. He secretly made a mental note in his mind. He originally wanted Shen Qing to wait here alone. After all, he still had many things to deal with.
However, he was afraid that the young man would not be able to stay here, so he suggested: "Mr. Shen, why don't I call a few juniors from the family to come here to keep me company?"
Shen Qing originally planned to be polite and leave it at that. After all, they were not familiar with each other, so what was going on?
But the head butler immediately decided on it, smiled, and thought it was a good idea, so he immediately said: "Come here, go and invite the fifth young master and others to entertain the guests."
