Chapter 234: Du Cihang
Xiakou City, where the six gates are closed, is the fainting Emperor Taiye, but what is even more terrifying is the "secret feeling" that Hongmei can say casually.
If the king does not secret, he loses his ministers, and if the ministers do not secret, he loses his body, and if he does not keep secrets, he will become harmful. Such a simple truth, Man Yun still understands. If everything is true, the stormy Xiakou City should usher in a more rapid and fierce impact than the memory of the previous life.
Poison learners need to be cautious of poisoning. At that time, Master Xu Nechu led the advice of seeing the wonder of poison art and unexpectedly climbed into Man Yun's heart. She looked down at the palm she had spread out in front of her, her butterfly-like eyelashes flashed a few times, as if she vaguely saw a faint blood halo in the plain white, and a mouthful of depression in her chest slowly spit out from her lips.
After closing his eyes and breathing for a while, Man Yun rubbed the corners of his forehead, turned to Hongmei, who had been staring at her just now and didn't dare to come out lightly, and asked softly, "Have all the people we want to bring to Jiangnan in the city gone?" ”。
There is no regret medicine in life, even if it is a major event like poisoning the emperor, you can do it, and all you can make up for later is to leave yourself with fewer regrets.
"Yun Jinfan's dark stake and their families have moved out. Mr. Cai's house also went to Jiangnan in batches...... It's just that Miss Cai Si married into the Luo family at the beginning of August, and Mrs. Cai specially asked me to take care of her when she left by boat on the ninth day of the first month......"
Cai's move to the south also brought with him many relatives who were interested in going south as soon as possible, but more people were reluctant to cross the river to other villages. Cai Lizhu, who was originally scheduled to get married at the end of September, got married in advance in August, and the Locke family she married was going to stay in Xiakou.
Man Yun pursed his dry lips and asked hoarsely, "Mrs. Cai should have also secretly instructed Miss Cai Si to come to Jin Li in case of trouble?" ”。 Lizhu's marriage will be advanced, and Manyun's persuasion also has "credit".
Hongmei nodded vigorously.
"That's good! Jin Yu left a small boat waiting for her. The two big ones parked in the bay, you will take them back to Huocheng first! Man Yun sighed lightly. In a few words, it is to exclude one's own whereabouts.
As soon as Manyun's words were finished, Hongmei, whose pretty face had been cloudy for a while, had already bent down and knelt in front of her.
Although Hongmei has already obtained a good name, she always does her best in front of Man Yun as a master and servant, and Man Yun follows her wishes on weekdays. It's just that he suddenly received such a heavy gift, and he suddenly bluffed Man Yun.
She slowly leaned over and squatted down with her skirt in hand. Pulling Hongmei's shoulders, she stared inquiringly at a pair of bright eyes full of guilt.
"Miss!" , Hongmei held Man Yun's arms and said, "Before you left that day, you specially asked me to be cautious and secretly moved the Cai family and our people." But...... But ......"
"But how?" , rushed to Puzhen to find someone, and then went to Jin Yu in despair, to be honest, Man Yun, who didn't make his family affairs clear, really haven't explored what Hongmei, who has seen the head and tail of the dragon all day, has been doing and what he has done.
"Miss went to find my aunt...... After leaving. I originally arranged it according to the original Jihua, but then I ...... Later, I thought that if the young lady predicted that Xiakou would be in the midst of a military disaster, the people in the city would suffer, so I ...... Therefore, after sending the Cai family away on the ninth day of the first month, he still sent people back to the city to quietly spread the news, saying that if there was a disaster, he could come to Jinxu. Moreover, I also sent someone back south to inform Uncle Du that they would take the boat north along the river......"
"The house is leaking rain, go to Jinyu, and take a cloud sail. Du Cihang ......", a simple three-character nursery rhyme about four or five days ago. Starting from the Chongye Workshop, where the largest number of shipwrights and poor people are concentrated in the south of Xiakou City, it quietly spreads.
"Do you want to transfer the ship to the north in a big way, and if there is a change in Xiakou, the people will go south in Jinyu?" , Man Yun, who was squatting and feeling tired, listened to Hongmei's words, and simply knelt on his knees, and collided with Hongmei's forehead on the opposite side.
"Miss! If Xiakou City was really going to fall into war, the emperor could take his harem on the dragon boat. There are also military ships on the double bridge that can cross the dignitaries. But the people of Xiakou City have less ...... to flee south", Hongmei's face turned red, her eyes shining, and she lobbied Manyun with begging.
"Fool!" , Man Yun lamented in his heart the unfortunate luck of the fools around him. Holding Hongmei's face, he said seriously: "Hongmei! I said that you are the big boss of Yun Jinfan, if you want to use the power of Yun Jinfan to do something, just do it. ”
Perhaps everyone sees the world differently in their eyes, so they have different minds and different ways of dealing with them, and they will have different creations.
Man Yun lowered his head lightly, grabbed Hongmei's hot hands and pulled her up, and then said with a smile: "That's it, everything is in charge of Hongda!" If the little girl is useful, even if it is sent. ”
"Miss!" , stretched out her arms and hugged Liu Hongmei, who was Manyun, and her face was even more ashamed.
Man Yun patted Hongmei on the back and asked softly, "If you want to save people, have you first thought clearly about how to get out with your brothers?" Jin Yu is now just a private ferry without officials being prosecuted, there are so many reefs that he can only pull out a berth of 30 zhang and park two boats in the sky. If the northbound ships stop out of the bay, how will they hide their travels? And there are many people in Xiakou City who believe in the proverbs, and they are crowded into how to settle Jin Wei and how to transition......
Compared with Hongmei's selflessness and fearlessness, Man Yun raised a bunch of concerns, not to persuade him, but to make the beginning of a fait accompli have a perfect ending as much as possible.
Whether it is for good or evil, a thought brings up an endless flow of snow like a ball of snow.
Standing alone on the bank of the Qiujiang River, Zhou Manyun, who was dressed in a cold azure plain clothes, stood like a willow on the shore, and looked at Zhou Manyin, who was walking cautiously on the reef pile step by step by Hongmei not far away.
Zhou Manyun didn't want to cross south at this time, and Zhou Manyin, who had always said that he didn't want to be with her, actually stayed.
Plumb weight, measuring plate...... After asking Hongmei for a full set of measurement tools and manpower, Zhou Manyin, who had never had actual construction experience, actually vowed to help Hongmei draw a temporary dock. Of course, the sour-mouthed little widow emphasized that she did not have the compassion of ten thousand living Buddhas, and whether she succeeded or not, she was just bored to pass the time.
What does it matter if the final outcome of life is successful or not? The important thing is that the people who are immersed in it now have a lot of fun when they prove their usefulness.
A piece of plain paper with ink written on it slid from Man Yun's sleeve to the palm of her hand, and she lowered her head and looked at it carefully from the beginning. Xiling Mountain Temple, Shuangqiao Town...... The time and place of meeting Xiao Hong in his previous life are all listed on it according to his broken and incomplete memories.
This life is not the same as the previous life, and the possibility of revisiting the old place in the midst of danger to meet Bo is too slim. Not really. That is, go north, all the way to Luojing and Yunzhou...... Regardless of the final outcome, do your best.
Man Yun smiled up, his slender hand churned, and after a while, a white paper butterfly flew out of his palm. With the breeze towards the distant river sky, scattered in all directions......
On September 19, in Chongye Fang in the south of Xiakou City, a group of soldiers walked in a line on the alley in the middle of the street, and if it was a normal day, they would have looked for a place to hide early, but now the first few "pro-people" officials obviously had no intention of letting them rest for a while.
It was nearly noon, and the autumn sun, covered by a thin layer of puff, weakly traced the blurry and messy shadows on the ground. The houses on the four sides may have received the news of the inspection by the officers and soldiers, and all of them closed their doors. It was quiet all around. It's so quiet that it makes people's hearts tight, as if they have crossed time early and entered the deep winter where everything is withering.
Although Xiakou has a palace stationed in His Majesty, and is influenced by the soft and beautiful beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, it is said that even Luojing is not as prosperous and luxurious as it is. But it's the one or two dozen main streets and markets that are really lively. Chongyefang, which gathers ordinary poor people, has better off with neater facades, but the houses of more poor people are inevitably crooked, showing dilapidation and gloom.
"Is that nursery rhyme of 'riding a cloud sail, crossing Ci Sailing' definitely come from here?" Gao Gong, who was the leader, tightened a pair of black and heavy eyebrows, not angry and arrogant.
The full text of the nursery rhymes that have been passed down from generation to generation is presented on Gao Gong's desk. But he only picked up one question. In troubled times, there were strange sayings floating around everywhere during the Taiye years, which was already strange. But at this time, Emperor Taiye was fainting in the palace, and there were many military reports outside the city that the thieves were surrounding Xiakou, but there was a nursery rhyme of 'house leaking rain' in Xiakou City. Straight stabbed Gao Gong's tense nerves.
The green-robed petty officer standing on the side wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, only as it should be. looked obscene and unbearable, which immediately attracted the disdain of Gao Wei, who was also dressed in a six-grade green robe. As everyone knows, his arrogance is also being slapped with the villain with the sole of his shoe by the object of contempt from the serious scientific examination. The royal driver came south with a group of important ministers of the imperial court, and the scientific expedition was abolished. Gao Wei's official robe was also rewarded by the emperor who lived in the palace and was now rewarded by his father.
"Tall man! The best thing is to send someone to the rumored 'Golden Bay' to find out! The group practiced the silence spell in idleness, and Gao Wei simply took the initiative to make a suggestion to his father, with the humility and respect of his subordinates to his superiors.
Gao Gong only glanced at him coldly, did not say a word, took his robe in his hand, and stepped over a small pit of sewage.
Why do you need to come up with such an idea that everyone understands? If the six gates of Xiakou could be opened without scruples, the scouts would naturally have arrived in Jinxu a long time ago, but now, who knows if there will be anti-thieves entering the door after opening the thick city gate? Xiakou City, where people are panicking, can't afford to gamble.
Maybe the Gao family should also prepare to retreat south, so that the second son should immediately get sick and take the family to sell Tongchengwei and escape out of the city first? Gao Gong narrowed his eyes, thinking about the small actions he had recently received about the private actions of the ministers.
And in order to seek a career in the future, he should follow the emperor's driving closely. It's just that from the perspective of official position and sacred heart, it is not a high respect that must be taken by the royal driver, and now I feel that it is difficult to move forward.
After inspecting for a long time without results, the group turned crookedly out of the narrow alleys of the slums, stepped onto the much brighter avenue, and came straight to them with a cavalry that came to a sudden stop beside Gao Gong with the joy of finding someone.
"Quick! Fast! Tall man! The emperor summons you to enter the palace immediately! ”
Emperor? Seeing that his father was quickly carried on the horse by the person dressed as the palace guard and inner supervisor, and ran towards the direction of the palace, Gao Wei, who stopped and meditated, wrinkled his eyebrows, with a depth that seemed to be the same as his father.
Emperor Taiye has been fainting for a few days, and according to private legends, he may still be in Xiakou. It must not be the emperor himself who passed the edict, and at this time, will Gao Gong, who is surrounded away, welcome a blessing or a curse? (To be continued......)
