Chapter 51: The Storm Rises

Zhang Xiaotian replied with a smile: "It's not a big deal, this matter was done by Foreman Xia and his brothers at the beginning, which shows that it is not about Meizhuang." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info So although I have been following the construction site and knowing about it, I didn't tell Uncle Mei. It's not a big deal. ”

After a short pause, he continued, "It was when the granary was built that the craftsmen that Foreman Xia brought to me two days in advance said that the granary was man-made by him, and no one else needed to bother with every brick or tile. He also said that they had built a unique set of secret skills to prevent outsiders from stealing from learning, so that all of us could take two days off. In those two days, I was pushed aside by them and watched from afar. ”

He added, "But I didn't go far, so I still know what happened that day." ”

That night, Foreman Xia and the others led people to start work overnight, and they didn't want to turn in the middle of the night to get two thieves in, and they were caught by Foreman Xia's people, and they took out a good meal on the side of the road outside Meizhuang. If I hadn't heard the letter and rushed to recognize it as Jiang Tianci Jiang Tianyi or one or two villains, they would have really beaten them to the death. It was thanks to me that I helped them intercede, and Foreman Xia agreed to find a few people to carry them back to Jiangjia Village. Otherwise, looking at Foreman Xia's fierce appearance, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it in one shot. ”

It was also the first time that Mei Bo had heard that there was such a thing in Meizhuang, and he was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Li face to face.

What Mei Bo is afraid of is that when the two scoundrels get better, they will find Meizhuang to make a big fuss. But what Jiang Li thought was that the Xia foreman was really unusual.

Zhang Xiaotian thought that he had seen through Jiang Li's worries, and reminded: "Foreman Xia said, forgive those two people and don't dare to come to Meizhuang for trouble again, he has a group of brothers who will go to Jiang Tianci's house to inform him." Besides, Jiang Tianci and the others didn't dare to sue the official, they came over the wall in the middle of the night, and everyone knew that they wouldn't do anything good if they climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, and they ignored the official. Taking advantage of the fact that the two bullies in Jiangjia Village were beaten and couldn't get out of bed, I called the people from the village to Meizhuang. After two days, when the lease is signed, they will all move in for a long time. In this way, Foreman Xia still helped the owner to remove a harm. ”

Jiang Li couldn't be happy, and faintly felt that he was in trouble again. Is this Xia Cheng really just a craftsman? Thinking about it this way, I unfolded the drawings handed over by Zhang Xiaotian and looked at them.

Jiang Li looked at the drawings on the papyrus, and vaguely remembered that the foundation had been raised on the original site compared to his previous design, and what was even more peculiar was that several openings like ventilation holes had been added to the ground. If you don't understand it, forget it.

When entering the city from Meizhuang, the city gate was strengthened and the customs were tightly checked.

A new notice was posted at the city gate, saying that there was a big incident in Beijing, someone had entered the army to assassinate him, and he had stolen a confidential map, and the city gate was about to be closed, and the city was to search for spies.

Pedestrians coming in and out for a time were in a hurry.

Xiaoxiang also muttered: "It's lively now." ”

The soldiers guarding the city opened the curtain of the carriage, saw that it was two women, and advised, "Recently, the wind has been tight, and the city is strictly investigating the spies, so go out of the city if you have nothing to do!" "Hurriedly let it go.

All the way into the city, there were indeed a lot fewer people on the street, and notices were posted all over the city, and for a while there was a lot of noise in the city.

Seeing that the wind is tight, in addition to some restrictions on entering and exiting the city gate, it has not had much impact on the lives of civilians in Beijing.

The brothers and sisters of the Jiang family went out early and returned late as usual, looking around for a suitable place to open a restaurant. Jiang Li has been to countless bustling and lively streets in the past few days, but he has not matched a single place.

What kind of restaurant exactly to open, to be honest, Jiang Li really has no bottom in his heart. It's just that there is such a vague concept in my mind, which is about to come out, but I can't say it.

Therefore, she later made a special trip to Taibaiju several times, specifically to study the business model of Taibaiju, in order to find some inspiration from it.

Looking at Taibaiju with the eyes of study and research, such a high-end restaurant that is famous in the capital cannot satisfy Jiang Li, and he still feels that it is a little cheesy.

However, after going there a few times, I heard some gossip about the court upstairs.

The news was blown out by Jiang Li on the upper floor of Taibai Ju listening to a few guests next door. Those who can come to Taibai Ju upstairs to pick a seat are either rich or expensive. Jiang Li can only fight for silver.

That day, Jiang Li once again ordered a few signature dishes in the building and tasted them, poured some wine, listened to the female singer sing a song, and served tea after dinner.

The tea is the best oolong pill, with a small porcelain cup of red clay, with a sip, Jiang Li tasted the taste of a wisp of clear spring water.

The food is good, the tea is good, the wine is mellow, and in addition, Jiang Li can't find any other benefits, and the downstairs is facing the street, which makes her feel noisy. Thinking about it like this, Jiang Li couldn't help but hook his lips and smile: what kind of restaurant he wants to open seems to have such a clear outline.

The dismissed maid was about to get up, but a group of people came in next door. After a burst of praise about each other's promotions and fortunes, Jiang Li heard someone mention spies and assassins, and Jiang Li was just about to leave the door of the box when his feet shrank back.

I only heard a deep middle-aged man's voice say, "Lord Sun can go out to drink today, but the matter of arresting the assassin is eyebrow-raising?" ”

A hoarse man's voice replied: "Brother Zhao, to tell you the truth, this matter was followed two days ago." It's just that because the envoys of Nan Chen are involved, they are still thinking about how to announce the results. ”

Someone next to him spoke, "So this assassin has something to do with the Nanchen people?" ”

"What is the relationship, it is basically Nanchen people. And he followed the three princes of Nanchen all the way to Beijing, and he was a member of the Nanchen mission. The hoarse man said.

Some people talked about it, some said how the Military Patrol Court caught the assassin so quickly this time, and some people shouted for Lord Sun to treat him, and one voice was louder than one.

The hoarse voice also raised the volume, "The person was not caught by the people of our military patrol house, why should he be happy?" ”

Everyone wondered: "Who else could it be if it wasn't caught by your military patrol institute?" ”

"The assassin was captured by the right Yi Zhonglang general, who was newly brought up by the Qin Mansion. This person is also the third son of the newly appointed governor of Fan Daren, a young man like Qin Yuanhua, named Fan Sicheng. The hoarse voice said this in a strange tone, and there was a sigh next door.

Jiang Li was even more stunned when he heard this. remembered that Fan Sicheng told himself last time he told him downstairs in Taibai Ju that he was the new general of Youyi Zhonglang, and Jiang Li thought that he was just an official who managed the security of Sixth Street.

Now it seems that Fan Sicheng is not as simple as Jiang Li's eyes seem.

The wind rose outside the half-open window, and Jiang Li felt a chill inexplicably.

What Jiang Li didn't know was that there were ten guards in the capital of the Song Dynasty, and there were generals and generals below, and their institutional functions were the same as those of the military patrol court, all of which were set up to be responsible for patrolling the security of the capital. The difference is that the Military Patrol Institute is directly subordinate to the Ministry of War, and the Shifu Wei is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and is also responsible for the patrol of the capital market during the special period, because the prince is young, the emperor is addicted to calligraphy and painting, and the relationship between Qin Xiang's government, the command of Shifu Wei gradually came into the hands of Qin Xiang.

After a long time, someone said mockingly, "It seems that the new Governor Fan is also a great figure!" In the past, Qin Xiang was an unofficial and unemployed only son, and he secretly controlled the appointment and dismissal of half of the capital's official positions, and Qin Yuanhua was called the first son of the dynasty in the capital. Now this Lord Fan is not a good stubble, as soon as he went to the capital, he found a right Yi Zhonglang general for his son, and he worked under Qin Xiang, and the inside story is worth scrutinizing. ”

As soon as these words came out, someone next to him stopped him, "Shhh, it's amazing that you are talking like this!" The power of the Qin Prime Minister is as strong as the sky, and the court is full of words, who does not boast that he is a virtuous minister and a pillar of the country. It's normal for the newcomer Fan to be close to him, so why bother you and me to scrutinize whether there is an inside story? Everybody's getting impatient?! ”

"Yes, yes!" A group of people diverted their words one after another, asking how they caught that Nan Chen spy.

"I don't know how I caught it, but I found out from that Nanchen man's body the troop protection map that the military department had just deployed in response to the border turmoil. Nan Chen originally wanted to win reinforcements, but he couldn't wait for my Great Song Dynasty court to speak for a long time, and he was in a hurry and stole the map, so it was not impossible to think of such a approach. It's just such a fuss, and Nan Chen's purpose here is to be in the soup. The hoarse voice of Lord Sun said.

"How can the people of Nanchen do this? The spying on the military has been done, and you still expect someone to help? It's good if my Song Dynasty doesn't turn against them immediately! "The crowd next door was very emotional.
