Xie Ming

Chapter 253: History of the Household

"Stop! Stop it right now!"

The eighth day of the fifth month, 18:45 pm.

After waiting for a whole day and night, Ni, Lin, and Li finally saw the official sedan chair returning to the alley outside Shi's mansion!

So he ignored everything and rushed over to stop the sedan chair.

But what can be done? Such a sudden action made the guards in front of the sedan chair misunderstand his intention, and thus a quarrel arose between the two sides, and a fight began!

In a moment!

It seemed that Ni Fang's five guards were already at a disadvantage!
After all, after days of running around and being so hungry, it was understandable that he was not in good shape for fighting.

"Stop! Stop it now, everyone!"

"You all, young and old, stop the sedan chair in the street!"

"Intentionally harassing an official of the imperial court!"

"What exactly do you want to do? Do you know your guilt?!"

"Who is the leader? Stand up and tell me your reasons!"

"If what you said is not serious and cannot be used to atone for your crime, I will throw all of you into prison and interrogate you later!"

Shi Kefa appeared in the scene as soon as he lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

He frowned and spoke, realizing that the situation was under his control. He felt relieved, and then he calmed down and walked over the sedan chair with a confident manner, making a move to disrupt and stop everyone, showing off his authority in front of others!
"Ouch! Ouch!"

"Slow down, slow down!"

"Xianzhi! Shi Xianzhi!"

"It's me! It's me, the old man!"

"Wait a minute, do it!"

"We really have no intention of interfering, we just have something important to discuss with you!"

"Xianzhi, I hope you can come to my house and present yourself to me!"

"Xianzhi!"

Different from the official articles of Shi Kefa and Shi Xian, Ni Yuanlu now looks much more down and out!
He ran forward in panic, unable to support himself, staggering in a panic, and it looked as if he was in danger of fainting at any moment!

But at this moment, how could he spare any energy? !

If you miss this opportunity, everything will be difficult!
Then, the two elders, Ni Ruyu and Lin Zengzhi, supported each other, and anxiously tried their best to catch up, and took advantage of the situation to speak hurriedly!

"Oh?"

"you……"

"You are……"

"I see you are anxious, but..."

"Forgive my ignorance, but who are you?!"

When Shi Kefa heard what Ni Ruyu said, he was shocked.

For a moment, he couldn't understand how this old man in front of him, with his clothes torn and dressed like a refugee, knew his courtesy name? !

Moreover, he paid close attention to the conversation of the old man here, and found it quite good.

Shi Kefa has been in officialdom for a long time and must be well versed in human nature. As the saying goes, nothing is absolute and one cannot judge a person by his appearance!
The way to be an official is to be careful in what you say and do!
Then, after a moment's shock, he quickly calmed down and gradually regained his composure, able to answer questions again.

"oops!"

"Take a closer look!"

"This is Beijing City, and the current Minister of Revenue, Ni Yuanlu, and Ni Ruyu!" Li Shichun struggled in front of the stick, and at this moment he still had the strength to shout and interrupt.

"Haha, Xianzhi (Shi Kefa), Xianzhi!"

"It's been two years!"

"When you came to Beijing to report on your work, you and I had a great conversation in the Ministry of Revenue's meeting hall about Huainan's defense!"

"Do you still remember it?!" Ni Yuanlu followed up with a question.

Upon hearing this, Shi Kefa's eyes narrowed slightly, he recalled the past events, took a deep breath, and acted as if he had suddenly realized something!

"Oh?"

“You…, you…”

"Oops!"

"You are from the Ministry of Revenue, Ni... Old Minister Ni!"

"Old Minister! Oh! It's really you!"

“This… this…”

"Why..., why are you like this..."

Shi Kefa was shocked to find it was true. In other words, it was quite rare for him to be recognized by Ni Ruyu in such an unexpected situation.

This alone is enough to show that Shi Kefa is a man who still has some true character!

"Ugh!"

"Xianzhi!"

"Don't mention it!"

"It's a long story!"

"Xianzhi, we came here this time because we have something important to discuss with you!"

"Uh..., this place..., hehe, I'm afraid it's not the right place for us to talk!" "I don't know, my dear brother..., hehe, if it's convenient for you, I hope, I hope you can come to my house and have a chat!"

"look."

Being able to be recognized by Shi Kefa in person at this moment, the preparations for his current mission have already made some progress!

Ni Yuanlu has been in the government for a long time and is an old hand!

So when he saw that things were turning around for the better, he immediately pursued the matter so that he could lay the groundwork for the follow-up. He struck while the iron was hot and took advantage of the situation to get involved!

"Oh oh oh!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Yes, yes!"

"I was stupid and ignorant for a moment, so I am not allowed to invite you!"

"Excuse me, how rude!"

"I hope that Master Ni will not be surprised. Ah, no wonder!"

"hehe."

"Hurry, everyone, please come in!" As he spoke, Shi Kefa bowed and stretched out his arm, as if to lead the way.

Then, he suddenly remembered something and spoke fiercely to the guard next to him.

"Ouch! What are you doing?!"

"They are all so stupid!"

"The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. It's all a misunderstanding!"

"Why don't you quickly let go of Minister Ni's personal attendant?!"

"Hehe." He tilted his head to Ni Yuanlu.

"Old Minister, please bear with me!"

"Most of these kids were brought from Xianzhi's countryside. They have never seen the world!"

"If you just acted rashly, you will be offended!"

"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

"Oh, that's right!" and turned back to his relatives.

"It's been years, why are you still standing there like an idiot?!"

"Why don't you go to the mansion and report it quickly!"

"Go call De Yucai and prepare the wine and food!"

"A distinguished guest is coming, so be prepared!"

"Ha ha."

"Come! Please come!"

"Old Minister Ni, let's go inside the mansion and talk! Ah, let's go inside the mansion and talk!"

"please!"

Shi Kefa was thorough in his work and his words were round and precise.

Ni Yuanlu and others just backed off. At this critical juncture, no one was willing to create more trouble or care about anything else.

After all the people at the alley had finished talking, they were ready to go and all entered the Shi Mansion together.

The three elders, Ni, Lin and Li, can be considered to have finally connected the Du Nan Dynasty to the track and taken the lead!

This section is really not easy!

Then!

Ni Yuanlu and eight others entered Shi's mansion, bathed, changed clothes, and had a banquet.

During the banquet, with the introduction of Ni Ruyu, Lin and Li also revealed their identities one after another.

Intense conversation in the middle of the night.

Ni Yuanlu told the story in great detail, starting from the fall of the capital, and then moved on to the death of the emperor, the prince's hasty escape from the capital, and the hardships he encountered along the way. He told everything he could.

Shi Kefa followed the words of Minister Ni and his demeanor changed several times, with bursts of crying and palpitations.

I feel deeply saddened by the fact that the country is destroyed, the mountains and rivers are shattered, and the country is overturn

Fortunately, the prince was safe and sound, and he escaped south with the army and escaped to heaven!

After Ni Yuanlu finished speaking, Shi Xianzhi also started talking about the recent major events in Nanjing.

Talking about the evening of the seventh day, news heading north has already been coming in!
In Nanjing, such tragic news came suddenly, and the six ministries were leaderless and in a panic.

Firstly, the information was complicated and there was no definite report of the fall of the capital.

Secondly, I am also worried about the safety of the emperor, and half of the people in Jiangnan are in a state of unrest!

As a result, since yesterday, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, together with several old ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and other third-rank officials, have all rushed to the Ministry of Revenue to discuss the follow-up matters!
This time, he hasn't returned home all day since he started.

We discussed the situation of His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and also the other princes and vassal kings.

I can't make any sense of it.

It's fine now!

The handwritten letter from the prince that Ni Yuanlu brought with him finally cleared up the matter!
