I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 302 Instant

Shen Changsui had just persuaded his mother to give up entering the Imperial College, but unexpectedly, his two children had already found an opportunity for him to meet the emperor.

That being the case, there was nothing to say. He asked Shen Xiaoye to take out two guard commander badges, then quickly showered and changed clothes, waiting for the afternoon.

But what he didn't expect was that Lin was worried about her children's future, so while her eldest sister-in-law and two younger ones were cleaning up the house in Juxianfang, she went to the Hanlin Academy alone.

Moreover, he invited Mr. Lin to his home for lunch. He did not want the father and brother of this younger generation to be accused of a crime, otherwise it would affect their future careers, not to mention their chances of becoming officials, and even their chances of taking the imperial examinations.

Scholar Lin frowned and said, "Xiao Shaojian delivered the message faster than I could.

I will ask to see Your Majesty in the afternoon. If I can see you, I will certainly mention the matter you want to thank me for.

This way, you can have a double insurance.

In addition, your meeting will not be long, so be as straightforward as possible and emphasize that your father once supported Taizu's Northern Expedition.

Besides..." He gave Shen Changsui some advice on what to say, and warned him not to mention the commander who was in the emperor's good graces in front of the emperor.

Shen Changsui nodded repeatedly and discussed with him whether the two guard commander plates he had were suitable to be handed over to the emperor.

Because no one had taken the two tokens away, he was worried that the Guard Bureau had taken possession of them.

On this point, Mr. Lin and Mr. Pan both said that it must be paid, and the few of them further deduced in detail whether it should be paid before or after the thanksgiving.

Although Shen Xiaoye was not present at the scene, Xiao Xuanmao relayed everything to her word for word afterwards.

She said: "Now, we can only wait for good news from Fourth Uncle."

But they waited until it was almost dark, and the planned move had not yet been carried out, so Erniu and Zhuangzhuang had to go back first.

Before they left, they left good news for Shen Xiaoye. Except for the 500 or so sheets that were still being processed, the rest had been sold out under the recommendation of the Daxing County Lizao.

Shen Cungeng knew his sister's tricks very well, "Did you ask Mr. Xu's wife to give them a commission?"

He knew that ever since his family entrusted the cloth business in the capital to Mrs. Zhu, she had completely separated the dried fruit shop from her small knitting compartment for the women, which was equivalent to dividing the shop into two fronts.

I don’t know how she convinced Madam Zhu to divide the shop into two.

“Well, if you help me sell three hides, no matter how big or small, I’ll give you three feet of cotton cloth.

It just so happened that Mrs. Zhu, the embroidery shop of Xu Xiucai, had our cloth. "This was more profitable than selling it wholesale to others. The salesperson got a real benefit and she sold the goods.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done often, as it will easily cause dissatisfaction among colleagues. Moreover, once those clerks in the yamen have figured out the way, some of them may use their own advantages to hoard goods and then force the sale to others.

The two chatted casually outside the gate, and from time to time they had to comfort Lin who came out to visit.

How could she sit and wait peacefully? She kept saying, "Why don't we go wait outside Donghua Gate?"

"Grandma, Fourth Uncle specifically told us not to get close to that place.

Even the master didn’t go with me.” Shen Cungeng wanted to go with him at first, but his fourth uncle said that he should not attract the attention of the Guards when he entered the palace.

So Xiao Ye arranged for him to first find Guard Xia to express his gratitude, then ask him for Captain Zhao's address, and then go back and forth to see if Captain Zhao was at home.

Shen Xiaoye also said: "Yes, grandma, it's getting dark soon now, and the palace gates are locked early, maybe Fourth Uncle is already on his way back.

But he may not take the same road as us, if we do, we will go our separate ways."

"Just try to coax me!" Lin glanced at the two of them. When she was helped up the stairs by Shen Xiaoye, she suddenly said, "Here he comes. I heard Sui Ge'er's footsteps."

As he said this, he pushed his granddaughter away and quickly walked towards the entrance of the alley. Fortunately, Mr. Pan's house was the first one at the entrance. She took care of herself in time, and she was able to walk normally after her body recovered.

When Shen Xiaoye and his partner came over, they happened to see Shen Changsui turning in. He quickly went to Lin and said, "Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you."

"You're glad to be back. Rest for a while and eat something first." Mrs. Lin was most worried about her youngest son.

Shen Changsui nodded slightly. Shen Xiaoye beside him finished reporting some things that happened in the afternoon and said, "The master is running around for Doctor Bao. He said there will be a banquet in the evening and he will not be able to go home until very late."

"Well, I have to go out in a while." Shen Changsui was just about to check the data compiled by Doctor Bao.

Lin asked, "How long?"

"All night." At this time, several people had entered the courtyard, and Shen Changsui saluted to his master's wife and sister-in-law who came to greet him.

He also informed everyone of the good news that my father, my eldest brother, and the people who were detained without any evidence would be released tomorrow morning.

But he was not allowed to leave Beijing for the time being. He had to pay silver and live in a temple designated by the Guard Bureau, and be ready to answer questions at any time.

Everyone was delighted to hear this. Shen Xiaoye muttered, "They really know how to make money."

Then he got a little cousin from his aunt, "No matter what, it's better than staying there."

After a few days, he could finally have a peaceful meal, but Shen Changsui hurriedly finished his meal and left, taking with him the little black cat that Xiao Ye had forced upon him.

Nothing happened that night. As soon as the curfew was lifted the next day, Lin led her two children and drove a carriage from Shicun to a small alley not far from the Gongwei Division.

But they waited and waited, and Shicun leaned against the carriage and took another nap. They waited until the door was opened at midnight and waited for another quarter of an hour, but no one was brought out.

It’s not a good idea to ask the gatekeeper now, or should we wait a little longer?

Lin, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't wait to get off, but Shen Xiaoye stopped her in time, "Grandma, let's go."

However, Shicun said at this time: "Wait a moment."

"Don't move." Lin pressed her down cautiously.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xiaoye lifted the curtain and stuck her head out to look, but was pushed back by Shen Cungeng on the shaft of the carriage. "There are a lot of people being escorted over there."

Just a few breaths after he finished speaking, Shen Xiaoye heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, mixed with the rustling of shackles pulling on the ground, and occasional groans from people.

This caused the alley, which was originally occupied by people, to be emptied in an instant. A few people who were rushing to the morning market even hid in the alley where they were staying and turned to other alleys.

I backed the car up a little and leaned against the alley to observe.

When Shen Xiaoye was about to open the curtain to look again, she heard Shen Cungeng say, "It was Zhao Xiaoqi who escorted them."

"It seems he has already raised the general flag." As she answered, she quickly got out of the car and rushed to the alley entrance to look. Shen Cungeng couldn't catch her at all and could only smile bitterly at his grandmother behind her.

On this side, Shen Xiaoye rushed out too fast and passed the alley in an instant. When he raised his eyes, he met the eyes of Zhao Zongqi who had dismounted a few feet away.

She smiled and waved, but the other party did not respond. Instead, they quickly led the team and escorted the prisoners into the gate.

Shen Xiaoye sighed slightly and said, "I'm going to buy some breakfast. It looks like I'll have to wait a while."

She said, "I'll go buy it." Before she finished her words, she had already retreated from the alley and went around to another alley.

But what she didn't know was that just after she left for a while, Mr. Zhao came out and ran straight to the alley entrance to look for her.
