Chapter 18 The One Who Can Call Them
Lao Gou should have known Chen Yun, but at this moment, he didn't know if he was stunned or didn't think Chen Yun would appear here at all. He looked at Chen Yun blankly: "Do I want to know you?"
"It's easy to deal with if you don't know me!"
Chen Yun smiled slightly and ordered to the two people behind him: "Please ask this official to visit our mansion. In a few days, I will give his house some money, and I will say that I accidentally fell into the water and drowned in the lotus pond..."
The more Lao Gou heard it, the more something was wrong. When the two of them came behind Chen Yun to twist his arms, he realized that what the other party said was true. Now, he was really panicked.
"You guys are so brave. Do you know who I am..."
Before the words were finished, a piece of rag had already blocked his mouth. The two of them had pulled and pulled him out. All the way, he could hear his whimpering sounds. Except for Su Su's face, there was no expression on Xu Bai and Shen Yun's face.
"If anyone asks this person, please ask him to come and find me directly!" Chen Yun looked at Xu Bai and Su Su.
"Thank you, Brother Shen!" Xu Baigong bowed, Chen Yun nodded, and turned around and left.
Su Su waited until there was no one in the yard before she seemed to realize it. She looked at Xu Bai and then looked at the mess underground: "Xu Bai, this Mr. Shen really won't kill that official!"
"Of course not!" Xu Bai nodded with a smile: "This official commander accidentally fell into the water and drowned when he was a guest at Mr. Shen's house. Mr. Shen is kind-hearted and even paid for him to handle the funeral. How could Mr. Shen kill him!"
Su Su shuddered and looked at Chen Yun, as if she didn't recognize Chen Yun: "Xu Bai, you seem a little different!"
"Have you become more handsome?" Xu Bai smiled and glanced at himself: "By the way, I bought you a lot of gifts, all of which you like. Come in and take a look, and I don't know if it's messed up..."
Outside the alley of the Xu family, Lao Gou was stuffed into a sedan chair like a dead dog. Then the sedan chair left without a pause and headed towards the Shen Mansion. When he arrived at the door of the Shen family, the gate of the Shen family opened. After the sedan chair entered, there was no movement again.
The next day, a squad leader in Yingtian Mansion found Lao Gou's house directly and gave him ten taels of silver and the news of Lao Gou's death. Lao Gou's house suddenly cried and felt a miserable scene, but this was not something Xu Bai should care about.
He praised Haikou in front of Baili's father and daughter, saying that he was doing things in Shen Ji, and Xu Bai had to ask Chen Yun for an identity and worked as a partner in a medicinal shop in Shen Ji. He didn't know how Chen Yun explained to the shopkeeper of the medicinal shop. Anyway, after Xu Bai left, the shopkeeper treated him as an old man. Not only did he not want him to work, but he served tea and food meticulously, which made Xu Bai feel embarrassed.
I ordered Mao every day in the medicinal materials shop, and Xu Bai left. The shopkeeper didn't ask. After a few days, Xu Bai guessed that there should be news from Zhao Huchen, so he found some time to head towards Shishi Xiaozhu.
The small building in Shishi is still quiet and elegant, and it seems no different from when he left. He gently buckled the door knocker. When the door opened, he saw that it was him, and he didn't even ask, so he put him in.
As soon as he entered the door, several gazes swept towards him. Some of them knew about them. They were Zhao Huchen's subordinates. They had seen them last time, and some didn't know them. They didn't know where they came from. They looked very tough, and seemed to be guards.
"Where is Master Hu!"
Xu Bai waved to a familiar man in blue and asked.
"Tiger is receiving guests!" The man in green replied in a low voice.
"Oh, what guest?" Xu Bai said to the men he didn't know: "Are you a very important guest?"
"The head of the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War!" The man in blue showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Mr. Hu invited him many times. He finally gave him a gift today. Mr. Xu might as well wait a little and have some refreshments. When Mr. Hu finished, he would come to see you, Mr. Xu!"
"It's okay!" Xu Bai nodded. This should be Zhao Huchen's daily social engagement. Maybe it's also the source of information in the government, so there is no need to interfere with the other party.
"Where is that one?" Xu Bai raised his chin to the small building: "Always be content!"
"You said Mr. Yuan!" The man in blue was slightly stunned: "Mr. Yuan is with Mr. Hu!"
"This is interesting!" Xu Bai was stunned for a moment. Shouldn't these two be guards and the guards? Why are they going to meet an imperial official together now? Is there something that I don't know about when I am not here these days?
"Take me to meet them!" Xu Bai smiled and ordered, "Is that OK?"
"This..." The man in green hesitated for a moment, "You wait a moment, I'll report it!"

After saying that, he ran in and Xu Bai stood up. The two guys at the door who seemed to be guards were staring at him, as if they were also wondering who the boy who came in was recklessly.
After a moment, Zhao Huchen and Yuan Bin walked out in a hurry and saw Xu Bai. They couldn't help but smile on their faces.
"Brother Xu! You are here just in time!"
Yuan Bin smiled and bowed to Xu Bai. Xu Bai looked at Zhao Huchen for no reason, thinking, "What did you do when you came by yourself?"
"Is this the one who can make the decision?" Before Zhao Huchen could speak, a somewhat ostentatious voice sounded behind him: "Since you are all here, let's meet. I have all arrived here, and you are still hiding it. That's too much to look down on me!"
Xu Bai looked at Zhao Huchen, and Zhao Huchen explained softly: "Yuan Baihu's identity verification is correct. I ask me to help me. I want to get some weapons in the arsenal of our Nanjing Ministry of War. I just discussed this matter with this Chief Gao?"
"Is that right?" Xu Bai snorted slightly and walked in. What did Yuan Bin want to buy weapons? Of course, there is no need to ask about this. However, wasn't Zhao Huchen asking him for instructions first?
Seeing that his face was unchanging, Zhao Huchen hurriedly explained: "Brother Xu, didn't you say you didn't let me find you, would you come to find me? So..."
"I don't believe you didn't let anyone go behind me!" Xu Bai glanced at him coldly: "I only know about such a big thing until now."
Zhao Huchen was still about to speak, but Xu Bai had already walked in. Yuan Bin was on the side. When he saw the two of them talking, he showed a thoughtful look.
"Zhao Huchen, I will talk to you about this matter with you. What do you mean?"
Under the eaves of the second yard, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe suddenly showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face when he saw Xu Bai walking in: "Is this the person you just said that can make decisions?"
