Chapter Ninety-One: Change
After hearing this, Master Ran just lowered his eyes and smiled, and secretly thought, "Haha, is the old monk still breaking the ring?" ”
"Right now, it's really nothing"
He muttered in his heart, his eyes followed the curtain of the car opened by the little apprentice, and glanced at the long line opposite.
I saw that the officers and soldiers were vicious, not counting the people who pushed and shoved, and even pulled people's burdens all over the ground, and then laughed and looked at those people with expressions or blank expressions or sorrows, lying on the ground and hurriedly cleaning up.
"People's hearts" The master held his breath in his heart, and carefully looked at the snake-like team opposite, and those who were dressed were quite eye-catching, accounting for two or three percent.
Most of the people were gray and blue coarse cloth clothes, and a small number of people, the clothes were patches and patches, and they could hardly see the original appearance of the clothes.
If you want to know how the people live in a place, the easiest and most direct way is to go to the market, the countryside, and those places that are far away from the city.
Master Ran is not a person who works behind closed doors, he knows what he should do, and sure enough, this place outside the temple is an inch, and he immediately sees the scene in front of him.
The Wu Commander on the left who bowed his head and bowed his waist, smiling without seeing his eyebrows, and the officers and soldiers on the right who were fierce and vicious, gloating and watching a good show, this contrast should not be too strong!
The carriage that Master Ran was riding in looked like any other carriage, but it was actually specially modified, with a small mezzanine at the back, just enough to hide an adult man who was not very athletic.
Yan 18 who boarded the car at the foot of the mountain. At this moment, he was hiding in that compartment, and when he hid in this compartment under the guidance of Master Ran's eldest apprentice, Master Huxin, his heart was beating uncontrollably and rapidly.
Yan Eighteen was worried that there would be an unexpected situation when he passed the level, he suddenly felt a little stupid, how could he believe the words of the person he had just met?
Speaking of which, it's not the worst kind of situation to curl up in a narrow mezzanine. Yan Eighteen was very suspicious in his heart. Will this Qi Gongzi, who will be calm and arrogant for a while, simply sell himself here?
Such a tense moment. Whether it is the shouting of officers and soldiers for the tiger. Or the begging for mercy of the people who were bullied. It's like a thin needle, nailed into his brain one after another.
It hurts, and it's irritable! Yan Eighteen even had an impulse to kick open the thin baffle. Hop out of the carriage and breathe in the free air outside.
The inspection of the chief outside didn't take a quarter of an hour from beginning to end, but for Yan Eighteen who was suffering, it seemed like a lifetime had passed.
When the carriage under him slowly started, and he, the arrested fugitive, safely entered the gate of Jiangzhou City, Yan Eighteen felt relieved, leaned against the wall of the car behind him, and breathed heavily.
Suddenly, he sat up straight again, and a terrible thought rushed through his mind, "This carriage is specially made, this Qi Gongzi is so sure, will I definitely follow him back to Jiangzhou City?" ”
"Or is it that whether I agree or not, he will think of bringing me back?"
As soon as this thought popped up, Yan Shiba's originally restless mood calmed down in an instant.
Although this prematurely modified carriage doesn't seem to be a big deal, setting up a mezzanine like this to store some hidden people and things is something similar to that in almost every big family.
But this subsection reflects the most practical problem from the side, that is, this mysterious Qi Gongzi does not want to form an alliance with Xuanping Hou at all.
If this person is a little biased towards Xuanping Hou's side, he Yan Eighteen will not be on this modified carriage, worrying and worrying.
I'm afraid that as early as a few days ago, he was escorted to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion by the guards under the command of Qi Gongzi and used as a bargaining chip to negotiate the price!
In this way, it seems that what Qi Gongzi said in the cellar that night is six or seven percent sure that he is telling the truth.
"Master Yan, you can come out now, you are all worried about this journey, and it is not easy for the old man to disturb your thoughts."
"Now that you've entered the city safely, your mind must have gone, so we might as well sit down and talk." Master Ran's voice was as gentle as ever.
He wanted to talk to Yan Eighteen once, it was not a whim, as early as when Qi Xuanhui told him the cause of the Jiangnan trip because he wanted something from him, the first thing Master Ran thought of was to ask for a deep conversation with this person.
Although from the casual conversations with the two senior brothers on weekdays, Master Ran already has a general understanding of today's Jiangzhou City.
However, Master Ran always felt that his two senior brothers were always in retreat and cultivating, and some news was also heard from others, not seen with their own eyes.
So this credibility is quite worth pondering.
He wants to know more and more in detail, Yan Eighteen, a native of Yan Eighteen, and because he has been avoiding the arrest of Xuanping Hou all the year round, he is always a person who mixes with the people, is he the best candidate?
If it is possible, Master Ran also wants to ask Mr. Yan, who is the Marquis of Xuanping to take him around and take a look.
It's best to bring Qi Xuanhui with you, everyone goes together, the purpose of Qi Xuanhui's coming to Jiangnan, the master already knows it.
It's still the old saying, if you want to see the essence of the problem, don't listen to hearsay, these people are too much water, you have to see it with your own eyes.
In this way, the results obtained will be the most real.
Because of this, Master Ran promised to help Yan Eighteen, a person he didn't know, although his own arrangement was useless later, and Yan Eighteen himself had someone to answer in Dachengtian Temple.
But after all, this person is in front of the eyes of Master Ran, so let's not delve into the subtle details in the middle.
In the master's heart, he naturally has his own thoughts. According to Qi Xuanhui's guess, this person should know a lot of inside information, and what Qi Xuanhui took great pains to know was these things that were hidden deeply.
But judging from Yan Eighteen's actions towards Qi Xuanhui, people are very protective against Qi Xuanhui.
In this situation, it is best to have a neutral person who can make Yan Shibai willing to accept it from the bottom of his heart, and talk to him first, maybe there will be a surprising effect.
Master Ran was originally a high monk who was respected by the world, and his eyes looked at the world. Be able to see everything. Naturally, he could see that Yan Eighteen, who was sitting cross-legged across from him, had a faint worry and uneasiness in his eyes.
If you want people to obediently cooperate with your side, you must first gain the trust of others. Let people willingly tell their secrets. This is the most basic truth. Master Ran also deeply agreed.
However, Qi Xuanhui now hides his true identity and makes himself his cousin in order to make it easier for him to act. also gave Ann the name of the manager.
In this way, the position of him and Yan Shibai can be said to be indistinguishable from friend and foe, and it is too easy for people to think too much.
Master Zhiran felt that if he came forward to break the barrier between everyone's opinions and distrust, it would probably be more gentle.
That's why I thought about doing ideological work for Yan Eighteen before I returned to the house.
This Cui Yongzhong, who even got into the tip of the horns, can be dragged back, and it must not be difficult to eliminate Yan Shiba's suspicions.
Qi Xuanhui didn't know that Master Ran had said something to Yan Eighteen on the not short road from the city gate to Qi Mansion.
He only knew that when he returned home from Cui's mansion, Yan Shibai was already waiting in his study.
Taking advantage of the time, he first took care of his appearance, took a hot bath, and changed into a clean white satin round-necked robe.
The waist is tied with a beige pair of wishful knots, the top of the head is combed neatly in a bun, and a white hosta is also hairpinned, which looks radiant and graceful, and is more and more full of the mature charm of a middle-aged man.
Qi Xuanhui's eyes were sharp, in addition to these superficial things, he also found that this person's eyes hidden in the bottom of his eyes, vigilant and vigilant, disappeared, and he bowed to Qi Xuanhui and smiled very sincerely.
"Tsk, I don't know what the master told him? How can it be that in such a short period of time, it seems to be a different person? ”
"Did you tell me who I am?" Qi Xuanhui had a cup in his hand, and he brushed the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid of the cup, and quickly denied his guess. "No way, the master is the one who knows the severity, he won't put me in danger."
Since he has no bottom in his heart now, Qi Xuanhui simply handed over the initiative and waited for Yan Shibai to make a move, he just took it.
Yan Eighteen saw that Qi Xuanhui was still calm and relaxed in the face of himself who had completely changed his attitude, and he looked relaxed and comfortable, and he felt that this person was indeed extraordinary, worthy of being a relative of the emperor and the country, and his good impression was that he was going up.
Qi Xuanhui guessed a few points correctly just now, and Master Ran did make up another identity for him, and he added the name of a partner of Liang Wangye to Qi Xuanhui in the identity of Liang Wangye's cousin.
The meaning of the words is very clear, that is, the iron mine that is favored by the Marquis of Xuanping, this Qi Gongzi also has a part in the family, and this Qi Gongzi is a newborn calf, and he came to Jiangnan to fight the tiger alone.
In other words, the iron ore in Yucheng is a rich mine, even if it is dug for a few more decades, it will be no problem, if it is bought by the Xuanping Marquis Mansion at one time, don't look at the money you get now, but compared with the income of decades, it is still a big loss.
Maybe the good prince himself, because of his identity, will consider many factors in the court, and even because of the attitude of the saint today, he will choose not to offend Xuanping Hou and sell the iron mine.
But Qi Gongzi's attitude on this matter, it is very different, if you lose this iron mine, for the good prince, it is a trivial matter to break a little oil.
So for Qi Gongzi, it is a big thing that hurts the muscles and bones, the big family, the intertwined roots, he is the partial branch of the county prince's mansion, who knows how much effort it takes to easily climb the big tree of the good prince.
Unexpectedly, this prospecting, mining, looking for workers, finding buyers, hard work, and tiring work are all done on his side, and he has only been sweet for two or three years, and he will be beaten by others and pick peaches!
What kind of impression can he have on Xuanping Hou, who snatched food from the tiger's mouth?!
It's just so bad that even if he has to cooperate with the Xuanping Marquis Mansion in the future, he will definitely do his best to bite a piece of fat on Xuanping Hou's body with gritted teeth, so that he can be regarded as relieving his hatred.
Master Ran's words are to the point, except for the good whitening of Qi Gongzi's psychology, everything else is passed by.
But in Yan Eighteen's ears, it was really no less than a timely rain in a long drought.
Between this Qi Gongzi and Xuanping Hou, if he Yan Eighteen operates well, first deepen his hostility towards Xuanping Hou, and then hand him a sharp blade that can quickly wipe out Xuanping Hou, what will be the result?
Thinking like this, isn't this noble Qi Gongzi a noble person who was gifted to him by God to help him in a desperate situation?
Yan Eighteen is absolutely sure in his heart, as long as his hole cards are turned over, even a noble prince like Liang Wangye will stand on his side without hesitation.
What he lacks is the opportunity to have a direct conversation with the good prince!
Well, now that he is an ant-like existence, he can't fight with the supreme royal family, but someone can be a springboard between him and the royal family.
Yan Eighteen will really open his mouth, and the blocked places in his heart are all unimpeded, that is called a comfort, that is called a joyful one.
In line with the principle of "monks do not speak, great monks should abide by the rules and precepts." This kind of preconceived concept made Yan Eighteen believe in the words of Master Ran.
Because Master Zhiran did not hide his purpose, this compassionate monk, he just wanted to save the people from fire and water, so that the people in Jiangnan could completely get rid of the devil who oppressed them.
That's why he made peace from it, to put it bluntly, didn't he want to use the power of Yan Shibai and Qi Gongzi?
Yan Eighteen could never have imagined that the master he respected was an outlier among the senior monks.
This is only looking at the results and downplaying the process, as for telling a lie and slandering people, as long as it is beneficial to the result, then what's the matter?
In Master Ran's understanding, a monk should have a lotus tongue!
If you can't even convince your own followers, then you must be an unqualified monk.
Yan Eighteen would not know the true thoughts of Master Ran, the more he looked at Qi Xuanhui, the more he felt that it was pleasing to the eye.
Originally, he still thought that Qi Xuanhui was too young, uncertain, and difficult to grasp the good and bad.
Now I feel that it is good to be young, young people are motivated, and if they want to make contributions, it must be much stronger than that of older people! (To be continued......)
