287 Assassination
And at this moment, the dancing girl finally arrived in front of Emperor Qinglong, the soft sword was straight, descending from the sky, and was stabbing at Emperor Qinglong's face! Emperor Qinglong wanted to draw his sword to resist, but Concubine Deng, who had a big belly, actually ran to his side in a panic and hugged Emperor Qinglong!
"Your Majesty! The concubine has come to your rescue! That Concubine Deng shouted in her mouth, as if she wanted to use her body to block the sword for Emperor Qinglong, but she was a woman, and she could only block most of Emperor Qinglong's body! Coincidentally, the exposed part is facing the direction of the flying sword dancer!
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Concubine Deng hugged Emperor Qinglong and shouted in her mouth.
Seeing that the cold and shining flying sword was in front of him, Emperor Qinglong roared angrily, bowed his legs and lowered his waist, hugged Deng Concubine's waist and sent it up!
"Poof!" The tip of the sword entered the flesh and was stabbing on Concubine Deng's shoulder!
The flying sword dancer stabbed the sword and should have flown away, but when she saw that she only stabbed a woman, she couldn't help but change her complexion, and then her pretty face was cold, she held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and then violently stabbed the long sword through Deng Concubine and hit Emperor Qinglong again!
"Death to the thief!"
At this time, a large number of guards had already arrived, and the county lord of Mingjia, who was closer, arrived one step earlier, and cut the rope around the dancer's waist with a sword, cutting off the possibility of her escape! The guards who came over immediately rushed up and immediately restrained the dancing girl!
"Take control of the grounds, seal off the palace!" As soon as the county lord of Mingjia turned around, he saw Concubine Deng pressing Emperor Qinglong to fall to the ground on his back, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "Quick, quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" ”
……
"Miss Shen, you should know that this banana tree is no better than rice...... Rice can be ripened in four months, but banana trees are planted. It will take a lot of time to get to fruition. Even if you dig a tree and transplant it, it takes a lot of time and labor. ”
Ji Tong said to Shen Rouning: "There are wild bananas everywhere in the forest here, they are not worth much money at all, Miss Shen might as well set up a shop and buy them from outside." Your focus should be on the workshop where banana chips are made. I've seen that the process of banana chips is not difficult, but the labor that needs to be invested requires some work. ”
"What Ji Shao said makes a lot of sense." Shen Rouning smiled and said, "But Ji Shao should also know that the land near this Red City. I'm afraid it won't be long. It was taken up by the powerful people who flocked to it. When the time comes, the land will be deforested and all the food will be grown, and I will pay for the purchase, but how far will I have to go to receive the wild bananas? It's all about acquisitions. It's better to have your own estate. Only in production can it be guaranteed. ”
"The soil near the Red City is fertile. Not all land is suitable for growing rice. Those gentlemen who know how to plan have also said that they should try to leave some places to plant trees in order to maintain water and soil. Shen Rou Ning said: "Ji Shao bought me such a place." Everyone benefits. ”
"In the beginning, it was still an acquisition." Shen Rouning added, and said, "I'm afraid that the workshop will need a bigger place in the future...... Regarding this, Ji Shao also helped me bother. ”
She had been in the Red City for more than ten days.
When he came to himself, he saw that bananas were also produced here, so he immediately asked people to buy some and built a simple drying workshop to let people start making banana chips. The sun is abundant here, and the sun is exposed to the charcoal roasting, and some of the dried bananas have been made.
But that's not enough.
Moreover, the people who can come to Hongcheng at this time are all the powerful people in the capital, and when they come to enclose the land, they have to rely on the Nanyang Commercial Bank to take care of it, and they need the cargo ships of the Nanyang Commercial Bank to transport grain...... Therefore, Ji Tong greeted them and took the initiative to send dried bananas and said that he would sell them back to Daqing. And these responsible people all knew that this dried banana was a "new idea" of someone related to Nanyang Commercial Bank, so even if they knew that the dried banana was shipped back to Daqing, they were afraid that it would be a big profit, so they did not immediately follow suit and sell it.
Besides, snacks are edible or not, and now the adults in the capital value food. The more the better.
But in a few years, there will be people who follow suit.
However, Shen Rouning didn't think that she would always be able to monopolize this business. She will use this to earn some silver now, and in the future, she will be satisfied with what she can always eat.
Ji Tong agreed.
He was introducing Shen Rouning to the land suitable for making a banana orchard, but he saw the captain of the guard here quickly walk in and give Ji Tong a small paper scroll tied with a thin thread.
It was supposed to be sent by carrier pigeons. Shen Rouning glanced at it and thought in her heart.
Ji Tong unfolded the paper roll, and his face changed drastically.
After a while, his thin but dark brows raised, put the note on the table, and said, "Miss Shen, something big has happened in the capital." ”
"Something is wrong?" Shen Rouning took the note, quickly read the dozens of small words on the letterhead, frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Is this the news that the business bank got it, or the news from the Guogong Mansion or the Chen Mansion?" ”
"This is what I asked the treasurers in the capital to pay attention to the affairs of the imperial court, and the provincial government is not familiar with the situation after returning home." Ji Tong was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "What does Miss Shen mean?" ”
Shen Rouning put the note back on the table.
"This said that the people of Beijin took the opportunity of the flower viewing banquet in the palace on February 2 to assassinate the emperor. Because of the use of poison, now in the palace, the emperor and the eldest prince do not know whether they are alive or dead, and a pregnant concubine Deng has died......" Shen Rouning paused for a moment and asked: "This Deng concubine, is it the Deng concubine in the Deng Mansion in the capital, the granddaughter of the former Shangshu Deng Gong of the Ministry of Rites?" ”
"Yes." Ji Tong nodded, a little puzzled.
When she first saw the news, she was also surprised.
But soon, she noticed Concubine Deng's name, and soon realized that this Concubine Deng was about Deng Xinyue, the cousin of Deng Changnian. Shen Rouning did not forget that Chen Houyun once mentioned it to her, saying that the current Deng family and Deng Xinyue colluded with Beijin because of the draft, set fire to Yulan Garden, and forcefully postponed the draft for a while, so that Deng Xinyue was qualified...... Unexpectedly, after she entered the palace, she rose quickly, and she was already a high-grade lady. Well, Shen Rouning did not forget that Chen Houyun once asked Deng Changnian to take the news to Mingyi Houfu, and then Mingyi Houfu gave this news to the queen mother in exchange for the marriage of Zheng Liao's two families, and finally ended with Zheng Yuanbin's death Liao Manru entering the palace......
Thinking far ahead.
In short, since so many people know the details of this Deng Concubine, Beijin can still use Deng Concubine to arrange a successful assassination? Anyway, Shen Rouning didn't believe that this casual assassination could kill so many nobles.
"Ji Shao, think about it, after so many years, whether it is Beijin, Western Xia, or anyone else, there are fewer people who want to assassinate the emperor? After so many years of unsuccessful work, why is it that at this time, the emperor and those ministers are actually careless, invited the opera troupe and juggling troupe into the palace, and the search was not strict, not to mention the assassins, and the assassination was successful? ”
"The emperor and the eldest prince don't know if they are alive or dead?" Shen Rouning shook her head. (To be continued......)
