Chapter 222: The Key Storm (1)
Tian Liang told Yun'er that the prince asked him to check the door locks of the middle road building, Suzhou mansion and courtyard house, and see if there were any unlocked ones, lock them immediately, and open them to see what was inside, so that he could know what was inside.
Yun'er suddenly remembered that there were a bunch of exotic U-shaped door locks that appeared at some point on her painting case, and there was an iron box containing a string of keys in it, which might be used for this. He said, "Liangzi, wait a minute," and returned to the room with Yu'er Shui'er, and took those locks and keys to Tian Liang, no one knew which set of keys opened which door, so let him slowly match the number. He was also given a notepad and a pen, as well as a dozen envelopes. You can record the situation you have seen in the notebook, and then put the key to the upper number into the envelope, indicating which house and which room it is, so that it will be separated, and it will be convenient to find the goods in the future.
Yun'er and Tian Liang are both well-organized people, and Yun'er understood as soon as she said Tian Liang. Went out with a whole bunch of door locks, a box of keys, a dozen envelopes, and other things. Yu'er Shui Er didn't know what Tian Liang was holding, and he didn't dare to ask.
At this time, it was already late at night, and Yun'er was ready to send the old lady's gift in the afternoon. Who knew that when Tian Liang checked the goods, he was actually harassed by the chief manager Nafeng, and there was a little conflict.
Tian Liang knew that before the prince and the three of them went to a foreign land, all the empty Suzhou mansions and courtyards on the east and west roads were unlocked, and there was nothing in them. Since the prince said so, Tian Liang had to obey unconditionally. The prince has a license, Tian Liang can communicate with Yun'er face-to-face at any time in the future, and when he does business in the future, there are many things to discuss together, can he die and not get along? Besides, Tian Liang is Yun'er's life-saving benefactor, that character is not good, if Yun'er has something to do with Tian Liang, he can also explain it face-to-face.
The doors of the Qing Dynasty are all two open, with a wooden latch inside, and two copper rings that can lock the door outside, and the doors that lock such doors are all copper locks of the Qing Dynasty. But today's locks have all been changed, replaced by exotic ones that lock bicycles or U-shaped locks that lock shop doors. Although this kind of lock is not absolutely safe, it looks very rough on the surface and looks secure.
Tian Liang took a notebook, a pen, an envelope and a key box, and a dozen U-shaped locks in the pocket on his arm, and began to search from the Suzhou house closest to Yun'er's courtyard on the east road. When I got to the door, I saw that the door had been locked, and it was also a U-lock.
The keys were all in the tin box, and he didn't know which set of keys belonged to which door, so Tian Liang had to take the box and try them one by one. Put the tried keys in the envelope, and then write the logo on the envelope, check and write one by one. The first Suzhou house was opened after trying three sets of keys, and Tian Liang put the keys into an envelope with "No. 1 East Road" written on the outside. Enter the door and plug it in from the inside. When I came to the main house facing south, the door was locked, so I tried the keys one by one, and tried six or seven before opening the door.
The inside is all fabric, and the denim is wrapped in rainproof silk outside, which is the kind of long cloth bundle that is rolled very tightly, and the label with the name of the product is written on the outside, and the rest is the same, so you don't need to check. Count the number of bundles, and write "some fabric and flower cloth" in pinyin on the outside of the envelope. Secrecy is very important, this is what Master has ordered. There are also flower cloths in the Qing Dynasty, but the level and color of textile printing and dyeing cannot be compared with foreign lands. The room was full, and it was full upstairs. Then look at the wing room and the gatehouse, and the room is full of cloth. Write down the general content in pinyin, lock the door and come out.
After counting the cloth in the No. 1 courtyard, he locked the gate and prepared to go to the No. 2 courtyard, when he saw the peak hurrying from the direction of the front yard.
From the Xiaoyao Hall to the gate of the treasury, it is a long way to pass through the temple, the family temple, the residence of Fujin, the side of Fujin and twelve sets of Suzhou mansions, and also through the big wall of the Ming Dynasty treasury. It is very similar to the palace roads of the east and west six palaces in the Forbidden City, except that the red walls and yellow tiles have become white walls and tiles. On one side is the flower wall of the middle road building, and on the other side is the Suzhou house.
Seeing that peak, Tian Liang didn't open the door, he knew that the peak was coming at him, and he was likely to find fault. Because he had already felt Nafeng's hostility towards him. But Tian Liang didn't wait for that peak, pretending not to see it, so he wanted to pass through the arched door of the mansion and the Suzhou mansion, hide in the garden for a while and then come back, trying not to conflict with that peak. Who knew that as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Na Feng: "Guard Tian go slowly!" "It's not very far away, and it's not the best idea to pretend you don't hear it.
Sure enough, Nafeng stood in front of Tian Liang with a gloomy face, and looked Tian Liang up and down for a long time. Tian Liang clasped his fists and saluted Nafeng: "Then the manager is fine." ”
"Hmm." Nafeng snorted from his nose very clearly. In terms of grade, Nafeng is a fourth-grade martial artist, two levels higher than Tian Liang. Although Tian Liang has no power, after all, he is a reliable person who protects the prince closely, and naturally the prince is absolutely trustworthy, and Nafeng should give some face. went out with the prince for a whole year, and the prince gave him so many rewards, which means that the prince should not treat Tian Liang as an ordinary guard.
All the guards in the house were impressed by Tian Liang, but Nafeng looked at Tian Liang unpleasantly: he was just a Han guard, no matter how capable he was, he couldn't have a bright future. Moreover, Nafeng is the leader of all the guards and personal soldiers in the house, and Tian Liang also has to be governed by one acre and three points of land in Nafeng, so he has to bear it if he gives Tian Liang a pair of small shoes to wear, and it is not good to go to the prince to complain. Give you small shoes to wear every day, and if you sue every day, the prince will get bored. The county magistrate is not as good as the current management, if he complains to the prince, there will be more and smaller small shoes to wear. Nafeng has been the manager for many years, and he has a lot of tricks to clean up his subordinates. Many guards and soldiers were afraid of that peak, and some people took the initiative to report to him.
"Guard Tian, this manager is looking for you." I don't know if it's because I'm sick or angry, Na Feng's face is very bad, and it seems that he has suppressed a lot of sulkness. Don't look at him in front of the prince, in front of his subordinates, especially the Han subordinates, the shelf is too big, as if someone owes him money for many years and has not paid it back.
That peak is in Tian Liang's heart, and his image is extremely poor. When Yun'er was entangled by the black dragon and was unconscious, Na Feng said a lot of bad things about Yun'er in front of the prince, not only encouraging the prince to abandon Yun'er, but also introducing his niece to the prince as a side Fujin. This was not made up by Tian Liang or heard of it, Tian Liang was in front of the prince as a guard, and Nafeng did not deny Tian Liang and said it in front of him. It's disdainful, right? For this kind of behavior of falling into the well and taking advantage of people's danger, Tian Liang wants to be more disdainful. Moreover, Nafeng's indiscriminate rejection of the Han people also made Tian Liang despised. The quality of character does not depend on what nationality or status, today's emperors all attach so much importance to Hanchen, what qualifications do you have to look down on Han people? But Tian Liang is a deep person, and he is also for self-preservation, and he has never expressed his dissatisfaction with the manager in front of anyone.
"Guarding Tian entering the Suzhou mansion alone is not in line with the government rules." The steward snorted. There is no provision in the government rules that a person cannot enter the Suzhou house.
Tian Liang felt funny, and clasped his fists and saluted: "The manager, before the prince entered the palace, he took care of his subordinates and checked the door locks of each empty courtyard. ”
"I don't bother with the Tian guards, I am the head of the house, so I will naturally manage the various courtyards, and I used to manage them. Oh, you locked the door? Then give the key to Ben. After that, he stretched out his hand to Tian Liang, with a natural posture. In his opinion, all the materials, property and personnel in the palace are under the jurisdiction of his governor, Tian Liang is just an ordinary guard, what right does he have to take charge of the property of the palace?
Na Feng also knew that Tian Liang must have been allowed by the prince to enter the Suzhou mansion, but the prince did not allow it, even if he was killed, he would not dare to enter. That peak is to take advantage of the prince's absence to embarrass Tian Liang. If Tian Liang is afraid of his power, he will obediently hand over the key to himself, then if there is something missing inside, or something valuable is missing, the responsibility is Tian Liang's.
"The chief, the subordinates are carrying out the orders of the prince, please don't embarrass the subordinates, the prince did not say to hand over the key to the chief, so the subordinates can't hand it over to you, if the manager has to ask for the key, just talk to the prince." Tian Liang's words are reasonable, sonorous and powerful.
"Presumptuous! What do you mean by having to ask for a key? It's my job to take care of the keys, and again, I'm the manager, give me the keys! "That peak is broken, and he begins to oppress people with power. The Qing Dynasty was a hierarchical society, so he didn't believe that a guard of the fifth grade would dare to call a battle with him, the head of the palace of the fourth grade. At this time, several pro-soldiers had already surrounded them, all of whom were from that peak. It seems that if Tian Liang doesn't hand over the key, they will rob it.
Tian Liang stood there without moving, and he didn't have an angry expression. He is a very assertive person, and today even if Nafeng uses government rules to punish him, he will definitely not hand over the key to him without knowing it, he will not compromise because of Nafeng's threat, and he will not let him know the goods inside. He said, "Your subordinates know that you are the governor, but you can't disobey the prince's orders." "The implication is that no matter how big you are, you can't go to the prince.
"Do you dare to suppress this chief under the banner of the prince? Climb up on Ben's shoulder, right? You're still tender! ”
"The manager is bad. The subordinates never spoke under anyone's banner, and they had no intention of climbing up. It's just that the key can't be handed over to the manager. ”
"You're not handing it in, are you? Okay, then ask Guard Tian to come with me. "Na Feng said that he didn't go to the garden with him for a walk, maybe Tian Liang would disappear from now on. Will Tian Liang not understand this little bit of his thoughts?
Seeing that Tian Liang didn't move at all, Na Feng said to the cronies around him, "What do you see?" Pull him into the back yard for me. ”
But these cronies of Nafeng all knew that Tian Liang, who had returned from traveling with the prince, had saved the life of Master Yun, and he was already a big celebrity in front of the prince. In comparison, the prince is the serious master of the house, just like the wrestler in the arena, this one pulls Tian Liang, and the other pushes him, not daring to really do it, not to mention that Tian Guards also have kung fu. While teasing Tian Liang loudly
Shouted: "Didn't you hear? The Steward asked you to come with him! "Don't dare to go too far ahead. Tian Liang couldn't do anything to that peak, but he didn't care about these people who held that peak's stinky feet, whoever came up to pull him kicked him away, and he was not polite at all.
At this time, Mangge and ** suddenly appeared in front of that peak. Mang Ge still looked like a big man, holding his two arms and asking, "I heard that the chief manager asked Tian to go with the guards?" Where to? The prince asked him to see if there was an empty house, and the door lock was unlocked, and we both heard it. He just handed you the key before he finished his errand, and then left with you without knowing anything? Whose responsibility is for what to lose and what to lose? ”
"What are you? I'm teaching Tian Guard, what's the matter with you? ”
"What do you say I am? I'm a palace guard, not a thug on the street, right? Ryoko didn't make any mistakes, so you can't just teach a lesson, right? "Mangge is not afraid of that peak.
"I am your immediate superior, and you cannot stand when I make you kneel. I said that he made a mistake and he made a mistake, what do you mean by calling him? ”
"What do you mean by calling up? Didn't the people behind you call out too? And you say that he made a mistake and he committed it, and if you say that he kills someone, he kills someone? Mang Ge seized the loophole in Nafeng's speech.
"Every door in the house is under the jurisdiction of the governor, whether it is locked or not is the final decision of the governor, Tian guards directly come to lock the door under the banner of the prince, it is a violation of the government rules, the government rules say, violate the government rules and whip twenty, follow me!"
The people behind the peak followed the fox and the fake tiger and shouted loudly: "Go!" ”
"I'm sorry, Lord Steward, my subordinates are completing the errand assigned to my subordinates by the prince, and I don't have time to go with you. If you have any dissatisfaction with your subordinates, tell the prince directly. If the prince thinks that his subordinates have any faults, the prince will punish them. The governor does not have the power to set up lynching, and he asks the governor not to interfere with the work of his subordinates. Tian Liang simply ignored Nafeng's unreasonable trouble.
"Okay, you'll be an uncle after going out for a year? You are a third-class guard of the palace, you won't forget who you are just because you have been out of the door with the prince for a year, right? I won't tell you anymore, what do you know about a martial artist? The prince treats you as a green onion, don't think that you are a big tree, you don't even know what your surname is! Mao'er dares to deal with me before she grows up, boy, you wait for me! Na Feng's face was quite unsightly, and he was a little blue and white, probably a heart attack. But Tian Liang is a very principled person, and he will not be provoked by Na Feng's words because of his ugly words, and he dares to say anything and do anything impulsively. It's not that you don't dare to be disdainful.
Mang Ge laughed: "It seems that the chief steward hates Wufu very much?" Are you a showman yourself? ”
For Mangge, Na Feng didn't dare to go too far, after all, he was a relative of the prince, and his father was also a fourth-grade official. I didn't hear his banter, but I still threatened Tian Liang: "You have violated the rules of the government, and you will be whipped twenty times." Come! ”
"Wait! I said, Steward, you seem to have gone too far, don't you? The prince has not used corporal punishment against any of his subordinates for more than 20 years since the establishment of the mansion, do you feel that you are above the prince? "Mangger can't tolerate Nafeng's approach.
Tian Liang spoke: "The manager, the rules of the house are set by the prince, not a shield for your abuse of power." Your subordinates are carrying out the prince's orders, but you are using the prince's orders to make trouble unreasonably. Before leaving, the prince repeatedly told his subordinates that the key could not be handed over to anyone, and the subordinates' understanding was that it included the chief manager. Therefore, the subordinates did not treat themselves as a big tree, nor did they have time to deal with the manager. If the manager doesn't believe it, you can ask the prince. If the prince says that his subordinates have pulled his banner as a tiger skin, his subordinates will let the prince fall. ”
