"Still no news from my husband?" Inside the embroidery curtain, Wei Changying, who had changed into a new plain dress, sighed slightly. Although Changxian County was only two to three hundred miles away from the imperial capital, the Wei family had only a few stores here, so there was not much manpower that was particularly capable. Shi Lin, as the head steward of the Changxian county's industry, is considered to be a very clever person, but half of his cleverness is in the management of the industry, and half is in the service of the main family, and he is not good at prying for information in the chaos and chaos of war.

So Wei Changying and his party packed up in Shi's house and went to live in the Wei family's compound in Changxian County for two days, but Shi Lin didn't find out what Wei Changying wanted to know.

However, the Xuanjiawei's internal strife and defeat, the remnants breaking out to Yanzhou, and Yanzhou's Su Xiuming and Shen Zangfeng's uncle and nephew thus breaking out to go was some days ago. Even though Chang County is relatively remote, Shi Lin has heard of it. But this news made the group want to vomit blood after arriving in Chang County, because of the initial stabilization, everyone finally had the time to gather together and talk about what happened before and after the breakout.

When the siege, the royal family and the nobles all take the east gate, Wei Chang Ying only said that it was because the west gate was in an emergency, so the people chose the opposite of the east gate....... But Pei Gui and Gu Xi Nian were originally in their respective family's candidates for the siege not to mention that they themselves are also the clan's valued children, but they know the so-called Xuanjia guards in the east to receive the inside story.

Also because of this inside, so they get out of danger after although sad at those who can not go, but also with a full heart of hope and go one step ahead of the reunion of loved ones ...... according to their ideas, they this pedestrian, even when they go out of the city but only a district of twenty to thirty guards escort, and even more with two won't be able to martial arts and even won't be able to ride a horse of the female family, even they are all Able to pay more than a dozen guards in the case of the whole body back, the east gate so many dead soldiers, but also sandwiched a lot of imperial guards within the estimated loss and they are also about the same.

But now heard of the Xuanjia guards have long been overthrown, which still do not know that the reception of the "insider" is a trap ...... In that case, the people who go to the east gate ......

The hearts of the people were suddenly overshadowed again!

Outside the embroidered curtain, Shi Lin carefully reported "I have already sent all the guys who can ride horses out, but within a hundred miles of the imperial capital, there are often Rong activities. I am worried that the fellows were captured by the Rong people, in case they are tortured to find out where Miss ...... Changxian has escaped several military disasters because of the remoteness of the land, but the distance from the imperial capital is not very far. Nowadays, there is also no attendance force on the left side, so ......"

In fact, he didn't even send them that far!

Shi Lin is the steward who takes care of the store for the Wei family, not the dead soldiers who train the secret guards for the Wei family ...... The fellows under his hand are ordinary people, since they are ordinary people, where can they be the opponent of the Rong people?

Not to mention the Rong people, even those stragglers and bandits who have formed a climate nowadays, which one of them would not be interested in the Wei family's eldest daughter?

It's not that Wei Chang Ying's reputation as a flamboyant woman is outside, with her status as the pearl of Rui Yu Tang and the first daughter-in-law of the Shen family, even if she didn't bring anything with her when she was in distress, it's still a gold mountain that will be moved around ah!

Shi Lin is not a son of the Wei family, sold himself into slavery after only a dozen years, climbed to the position of a county steward, the heart of the city is naturally not shallow. At the moment, the main family's eldest daughter is in distress and has come to settle down, this is his opportunity. If he can serve Missy happily, the benefits will definitely be his.

But what was more pressing than serving Missy well was keeping Missy safe this was the most important of all!

Otherwise Missy to his place, but something happened, he not only will not have the credit, not by he even did not qualify to see the two ladies in charge of the living cut out of anger would be good!

So Shi Lin agreed to all Wei Chang Ying's commands, but after leaving the house, he only followed his own plan first, he locked up the family of the doctor who had treated Teng Bend and Yan Ge under a pretext to prevent Wei Chang Ying and the others from revealing their identities; then, he utilized the Shi family's power in the town of Lock Smoke to threaten and intimidate the whole town not to disclose the news of the arrival of a stranger at the Shi family's house; and then he ordered the people to carry out Wei Chang Ying's order to find out the whereabouts of the people who broke out of the imperial capital and the whereabouts of Shen Zangfeng. Thirdly, he ordered his men to carry out Wei Changying's order to find out the whereabouts of the people who broke out of the Imperial Capital and the whereabouts of Shen Zangfeng.

Oh, the third most important thing is not yet Wei Chang Ying's order, but immobility!

Shi Lin's son, Shi Ping, was once very worried about his father's approach, "In case you tell Missy to know ......"

"Missy still needs our family now, she won't do anything to us." Shi Lin smiled and taught his son, "The key is still Missy's safety! In the eyes of Elder Lady Song and Mrs. Song, if we receive Missy and ensure her safety, then we can use any means! As long as Missy is well, any wrongdoings are secondary and negotiable!"

His face sank as he admonished, ''On the contrary, once Missy is lost, then it's useless for us to take any credit! So you remember, those who are sent out to spy on the news, their families and children must be in our hands! Moreover, tell them that they would rather not find out any information, but also absolutely cannot let anyone suspect that Missy is in Chang County! Got it?"

Shi Ping looked at his father's expression, his heart aghast, and hung down his hands and said, "Yes!" He added, "Even the people of Locked Smoke Town know that although a group of people visited our house, they left the next day. What's more, they may not dare to say anything!"

"This is good." Shi Lin nodded, "I have sent someone to take a shortcut to Fengzhou to report ...... whether our family will continue to be an unsavory steward in a small place like Locked Smoke Town, or seize this opportunity to rise up to great wealth and prosperity, it all depends on this time! You all need to pay attention!"

The whole Shi family was urged by Shi Lin to seize this opportunity at all costs. She was so used to her servants being in awe of her, and now that she was out of danger, most of her thoughts were on her lost family, and she didn't even realize that her own mother's family's ordinary steward, who didn't even have the qualifications to be seen by the master of the house, dared to deceive herself as the first daughter of Rui Yu Tang.

That is why the Shi Lin family vigorously conceal the whereabouts of their pedestrians, carefully and conservatively prying into the news she wanted ...... actually hid her from the world.

Wei Changying also felt that Shi Lin's reasoning made sense, and sighed, waving his hand, signaling him to go down.

That's how Schilling retired two days ago.

But this time, he hesitated for a moment, arching his hand and saying, "Eldest Miss, Auntie's news is small and incompetent, and has not yet been probed. But there is a message, but it seems to have some relationship ...... with the nobles of the imperial capital Just that little's knowledge is shallow, and I don t know if it is accurate or not?"

Wei Changying was surprised, "What is the news?"

"Yesterday noon, I sent to find out the whereabouts of the aunt of a fellow to the neighboring long county, in the city outside the road next to a restaurant in the tip, but saw the restaurant outside the children playing different, so went up to stop and ask. He went to stop the children from playing outside the restaurant and asked them about it, but he found out something."

Shi Lin's face turned red when he said this, obviously he didn't know how to describe this "playfulness" and the things he asked about it to Wei Changying he stammered and deliberated for a while, and then decided to skip all the details and go straight to the point, "It seems that some clansmen passed by that wine shop. He decided to skip all the details and go straight to the point "It seems that a member of the royal family passed by the restaurant."

"Clan?" Wei Changying furrowed his brows and said, "Speak more carefully!"

Shi Lin thought this is what you let me say ...... dry cough, said "It is in the end of yesterday's light, there are dozens of riders escorting a carriage through, but also happen to be in this restaurant to beat the rush. This line of people are said to dress simple, even the mounts are also all take snow water and mud stained fur, see not out of the original face, quite some hidden intention. However, Miss also know, nowadays this world ...... rich and noble people are afraid of far away from inviting people to covet, it is no excuse. So the people in that restaurant didn't care, just serve as usual."

"But it was a naughty boy in that wine shop, who happened to be in ...... the toilet at the time, rushing the two knights in that line to ...... this ...... originally as well. That place is more than one position. But those two people have to drive that little child to leave, that little child since is very dissatisfied. The countryside child has nothing to discipline, just ......"

Shi Lin paused, only hard to say, "took the usual slingshot to hit the birds, want to take advantage of those two people in the toilet to lay an underhanded hand. I don't want this little boy around to the back, from the gap to see, but found that the two guards body is different ...... This little boy although the year is only six or seven years old, but his parents are busy with their livelihoods have no time to teach, and let him run around, heard a lot of ...... a lot of meat inappropriate language, is to for the Some things but also know. Therefore, after seeing the very surprised, but did not continue to seek revenge, but ...... wait for the pedestrians to go, he went ...... to pickpocket the companion of the clothes and pants to see ...... but it is coincidentally sent out by a small That fellow saw, took a few big money to coax him, he will say everything."

"......" was silent for a long time behind the embroidered curtain.

Wei Chang Ying's face was a flash of red and white ......

Schilling was also so embarrassed that he only dared to hold his eyes to the green bricks at his feet.

The master and servant were silent for a long time before Wei Changying said, "Then do you know what kind of people are being escorted?"

"This is unknown." She this opening although not cold, but can not hear any anger, Shi Lin secretly relieved, busy said, "Because the people in that carriage has not even dismounted, only called the rider to send some hot water, soup and noodles in, the share of ...... is only one or two people."

Wei Changying gently bit her lip, pondering, "Someone from the clan has fled here, could it be that they left through the east gate? If so ......" Thinking of the whereabouts of her husband's family, her heart trembled and she secretly prayed, "But I hope it's good news!"

Then he ordered, "Hurry up and send someone to go after them to ask, if they are really from the imperial capital, report the name of the Shen Clan and Wei Clan! Ask them to wait where they are or come over here for a meeting."

Shi Lin hurriedly agreed and was about to say that he had already done so, but he didn't want Wei Chang Ying to suddenly think of something and asked, "Since this happened yesterday at noon, is this pedestrian in Jiuxian County now? I remember that the Wei family has some properties in Jiuxian County."

"What Missy said is that the Wei family has four stores in Jiu County, and the big steward there is surnamed Li, who is quite familiar with Xiao." Shi Lin said, "It's just that Xiao's didn't dare to divulge Missy's whereabouts, but didn't tell that Steward Li about Missy being in Long County."

"Let's not talk about this, let me ask you, what are the big families in this Jiu County?" Wei Chang Ying asked.

Shi Lin said without thinking, "Whether it's Chang County or Jiuxian County, it's just a remote area. The so-called big families are just ordinary, affluent families, but they are not scholarly families."

"Then does Jiu County have any other Shi clan's properties and stewards besides the Wei family?"

"Back to the words of the eldest young lady, the Drainage Yin Min Clan also has a bit of an industry, so there is a steward in place. In addition there is none."

Wei Changying narrowed his eyes, "In that case, if this pedestrian enters Jiuxian County, he'll be looking for Steward Li to resettle him, right? Nine of them are looking for Steward Li to settle down, right?"

Although the clan in the six valves of the sea such as the family seems to be not as deep and noble as the family for the valve reading, but nearly two hundred years of the kingdom, after all, has also been used to the superiority of the people, will be far away from the common people.

If this pedestrian was going to settle down in Jiu County, then he certainly wouldn't be looking for those rich families that weren't even considered small shihan much less staying at an inn.

Because an inn in a small place like Kuwabara County would never be able to satisfy a truly honorable guest.

The rich commoner households are not qualified to receive them, the inns are not qualified to receive them, and there are no rich scholarly residences nearby, so they can only retreat to the second best, looking for the mansion servants who preside over the industry here ...... These servants are able to do the stewardship is through the master's family's conditioning, but they are much more capable of serving people than the rich commoner households and the innkeepers.

Moreover, the property in their name is considered to be the main family's, so that it is their main family's reception ...... This is in line with the identity of the person being received ......

It's like Wei Chang Ying's line, the Shi family in Lock Smoke Town is a Wei family slave but even if it wasn't the Wei family, it was the Song family, the Qian family, the Duanmu family ...... any of the scholarly clans, they would have gone to this Shi family instead of the inn... ...

This reasoning Shi Lin also understands, said, "It is expected so ...... only that Steward Li did not know that Missy was here, so he did not report the news over."

"Then don't let anyone know I'm here first!" Behind the embroidered curtain, Wei Chang Ying's eyes flickered with cold light and said, "First go and inquire whether these people are from the imperial capital or not, and from which door they exited the imperial capital ...... then report that I know!"
