Chapter Ninety-Four: Going to Beijing
"Ah!" the maid in the carriage exclaimed in surprise when she saw that all the assassins had been killed, and when she heard someone in the carriage talking, she stood up and shouted, "You come back to protect Miss." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The remaining guards returned to the ox cart and looked at Pei Ziyun with a tiger's eye, Pei Ziyun had nothing to be angry about, this is the logic of the public gate, you should protect me, but even if you protect me, I have to be censored, he didn't want to cause any more trouble at all, turned around and left, the maid hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Childe, go slowly, I hope Gongzi stays." ”
Pei Ziyun said: "This girl, she is just passing by, and she draws her sword to help her, but she doesn't want to cause trouble, and I hope that the girl will not be polite and leave." ”
Pei Ziyun was in a hurry to get out, but not only was the person who attacked not simple, King Lu's black-clothed guard?
The woman in this ox cart is not simple, killing these people, maybe she has been involved in the big whirlpool, if you are entangled in it, it will be a big trouble, and she has a task in her body, and if she delays, when will she be able to go to the capital to make a business?
Now the Hou Mansion, the Holy Prison Gate, and Song Zhi are not good friends, and if you go one point earlier and finish it one point earlier, it is most important to promote the disciples of the lineage.
The maid glanced around, thinking that these guards were not good, they were not good at this, and they couldn't protect them just now, so they hurriedly rushed up: "Childe, since you have helped, please continue to protect it." ”
"Xiao Zi, why bother asking this person, this person is unknown, how can he get close to Miss?" The captain of the guard stepped forward and said that this was his own guard dereliction of duty, and he almost let people kill Miss, and he didn't want outsiders to come in at this time.
The maid's mouth was upturned, and she said coldly: "You protect Miss, but you can't protect Miss, what are you talking about?"
"Childe, if you are willing to escort Miss, you will be rewarded in the future. The maid said, and said, "Childe, you are not masked, many people have seen your appearance, and there is already trouble, but as long as you send our young lady to the house, we will cover up any trouble for you." ”
Pei Ziyun hesitated a little, thought about it, and changed his attitude: "Since the girl said so, I will protect it again." ”
The maid smiled: "Thank you, son." ”
Then he jumped into the car and walked forward.
Just now, the head of the guard, his face was a little bad, looking at Pei Ziyun, with deep vigilance and vigilance, and some scrutiny.
There were no more attacks along the way, and they arrived at Yifu.
This mansion is wide, and when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Pei Ziyun gave his hand: "Girl, I have been escorted to say goodbye." ”
The chief of the guard stood out and stopped: "You can't go, you appeared out of nowhere, I suspect you are an assassin's man, come to approach Miss." ”
Pei Ziyun was about to speak, but the maid in the car came out and said, "Miss has an order, this son wants to leave, you must not stop me, all of you will step back for me." ”
With the maid's words, the captain of the guard had a red and white face, his expression was a little hideous, he gritted his teeth, and responded: "Yes!"
After saying that, Pei Ziyun sneered, this is why he is unwilling to deal with these semi-official officials when he has no status, so he will leave immediately.
Seeing the young man go away, the maid helped a woman to get out of the car, and these guards did not dare to look directly at the woman, who stood on the car and looked at the figure.
The door opened wide, and a white-faced bearded man came out, and this person came to the woman: "Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered me to wait for a long time, and since I have finished saving my relatives, I should return to the palace as soon as possible." ”
With the words of the eunuch, a team of armor soldiers came out of the house, protecting them on the left and right, and for a while, the clanging of armor was endless, and there was more slaughter out of thin air.
"I'll go in. The woman withdrew her gaze and said indifferently.
When the woman went in, someone whispered, and the eunuch snorted coldly: "Hmph, the Sprinkle family knows, there are not many heirs of the prince, and some people want to make a fuss here." ”
"You must not let Madame be frightened again, she is pregnant with the dragon seed. ”
"Yes!" several people responded, and after a moment, one of them asked, "What about this young man?"
"Since the lady has an order, there is no need to touch him, but it must be checked, and the identity of this person is verified and reported to the Sprinkle family, so that the Sprinkle family can explain to the prince. ”
"Yes!"
Pei Ziyun returned to the dock, only then did he realize that cold sweat was oozing from his back: "Who was in this mansion just now, even I felt fear." ”
"No matter what, I can't make any extraneous branches, I don't even take the original boat, this Yuzhou Ping'an Mansion is also a prefecture city, connected to the capital, there must be a ship that directly arrives in the capital - although it is almost the New Year now. ”
With this idea, he looked at the suitable ship one by one and asked, fortunately although it was late at this time, it was not too late, and even asked a few, some of the ship bosses were carrying cargo, some of the ship bosses were going to open again for the New Year, and some of the ship bosses were not on the right route, until they asked a family, the ship's surname was Chen, very young, the boat was not very big, but it was also exquisite, and said: "If the son wants to go to Kyoto immediately, he has to spend the New Year on the waterway." ”
"Who wants to spend the New Year on the ship? Childe is afraid that he will not find anyone, but my husband and wife are young and want to make more money, so they were waiting to lift people to Beijing, and now there is a family, but Childe is willing to give ten taels of silver, so our husband and wife took this job and set off immediately!"
Pei Ziyun nodded: "Very good, in addition to supplies along the way, there is no need to stop along the way, and you can't pick up guests halfway, what about this condition?"
How many guests are there during the Chinese New Year, and they can carry people on the return trip to Kyoto, so Boss Chen said: "If the son is willing to pay this price, I will not stop halfway." ”
"Good, that's it. Pei Ziyun smiled and threw away a piece of silver: "Give half first, and then give the remaining half when you arrive." ”
It is said that many official silver is five taels, divided into silver ingots, silver cakes, silver bars, and there are three, five, six, seven, eighty-five, ninety-one, ninety-three, ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-eight, and foot lines, as well as color, form, and color.
Pei Ziyun has fame and plum blossoms, it is easy to make money, so he is not in a hurry, he has not spent a hundred taels of one thousand taels until now, and he doesn't want to do business, so he usually takes the best ninety-eight official silver in the money bank, and the boss of the boat laughed when he saw it.
"You already have supplies on this ship, right?" Pei Ziyun got on the boat, saw a burst of snow and rain coming down, returned to the cabin, listened to the sound of snow hitting the canopy, and asked.
"There you go. ”
Seeing Pei Ziyun coming in, a green-shirted gentleman in the cabin got up: "In Xiayu Mao, go to Beijing to take the exam, dare to ask your friends?"
Pei Ziyun returned the salute: "In Xia Yingzhou, Pei Ziyun will be relieved." ”
This person naturally didn't know that Pei Ziyun had entered the Daomen, although he had expected it, he was still surprised, such a young Xie Yuan, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "It turned out to be Yingzhou Xie Yuan." ”
However, there was no surprise in addition to this, Pei Ziyun was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "In ancient times, the spread of information was slow, although I was famous in Yingzhou, but I was thousands of miles away, even if I was lifted, I may not know me." ”
"Therefore, in ancient times, it took ten or twenty years to be known to the whole country. ”
There are not many words at the moment, in the early morning of the next day, the ship set sail to Kyoto, it took a few days to arrive at Yancheng, the cabin is simple, only a bed and a futon, usually in addition to reading and watching the scenery, but also communicate with this Yu Mao, but this Yu Mao is more than 30 years old, since he knows his age, he is secretly jealous, and when he communicates, he is even more surprised by his talent, and it is difficult to hide his look, but this is not about Pei Ziyun's business, and he is too lazy to communicate in the next few days.
The only thing worth asking is that after spending a New Year on the ship, Pei Ziyun rewarded the boat boss with three taels of silver, and the boat boss gave everyone a seat for the New Year, which is also over.
This is not uncommon, the examination is an examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites, also known as the rites, held in Kyoto, the examination period is in the spring of February, so it is called the spring of the year, in other words, to go to the examination, unless it is in Kyoto, or to lift people, it must be on the road to spend the New Year.
Some of them are far away, and they all set off half a year in advance.
After more than ten days, finally arrived at Kyoto, this Beiyangmen wharf is the end of the canal, the former dynasty was in disrepair during the war, some were annihilated and silted, the rain was sufficient in the season and the ships could still berth directly, and in the dry season had to stop at a hundred miles away, and then rely on manpower to transport.
Daxu is established, the first time to repair and dredge, the river silt is removed, the water depth is more than enough, the ship can go directly, only to dock, you can see the prosperous phase, the shore shop hall is raging row after row, the building is high and wings fly eaves, it is prosperous.
Even if the Spring Festival has just passed, on the Caoyun Canal, a boatload of goods arrives, arrives on the shore, the ship is leaning on the dock, and the boat boss settles the fare with the guests at the moment.
I saw that there were people on the boat, and for a while the flow of people was crowded, Pei Ziyun was also refreshed, dropped five taels of silver, and from under the dock, he saw the thick city wall from a distance, and with the flow of people through the thick city wall, he looked up, and saw a wide avenue in front of him that could run eight carriages in parallel, stretching straight ahead, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.
The buildings on both sides of the street are numerous, the height is staggered, it is the red wall and gray tile of all colors, the eaves are luanling, the end is magnificent and calm, prosperous and solemn.
Pei Ziyun walked all the way along the road and entered the street, surrounded by various flags waving in the wind, and countless teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops were lined up one after another.
There are also some young small traders, holding a bunch of miscellaneous knick-knacks and moving flexibly back and forth in the crowd, shouting loudly and selling them, and there is not a single word of the same when you listen carefully.
Looking around, although he saw a lot of the city in his previous life, this classical metropolis still hit Pei Ziyun's eyes for a while, the capital is very lively, but at this time he is not here to play, there is something to do, he touched the official document in his arms, he was no longer stunned at the moment, looked around, and saw a hawker selling sugar gourds, Pei Ziyun stepped forward to take the sugar gourd, threw the copper coin and asked: "Boss, can you tell me about the affairs of the capital?" ”
Originally, Pei Ziyun didn't have to take care of these things, and Liao Ge took care of them, but now he has to figure it out by himself.
The peddler smiled slyly: "Childe is a person who enters the city, then find the right person, you give me 500 Wen, I can lead the way directly, the provincial son can't find the way for a while." ”
Hearing this, Pei Ziyun was stunned, although he knew that the five hundred wen could still be bargained, but he didn't bother to think about it, and said directly: "Okay, you lead the way." ”
