Chapter 148 The conspiracy next to the official road
After Zhu Chenhao left, Chen Qiushui was still confused, but this hall was not a place to talk, they went to Lin Shaowen's room and began to talk about it.
After the door of this room was closed and the two guards were watching the door outside, Chen Qiushui said suspiciously: "What is this Zhu Chenhao's plan, is it really hospitable?" I don't think it's that simple. ”
"Cousin, what do you say?"
"I don't know, I just feel that he is not that kind of person, he came this time, it should be a spy. Strange to say, though, he spied on it and left. ”
Chen Qiushui is really confused by the second monk, and he doesn't know what Zhu Chenhao's plans are.
Princess Jianwen thought for a while and said: "According to what is written in the book, these heroes who like Corporal Lixian should be loyal and righteous, but this Zhu Chenhao is not, not to mention the death of the master's sons for the time being, even if there are some scum in this Gao Laozhuang, it is difficult to say that this Zhu Chenhao is a good person." ”
"So sister, what is this person doing?"
Lin Shaowen suddenly thought of a sentence in the book, and said to Princess Jianwen: "It's Yin Raising the Dead, isn't it written here?" Some of the most wicked people like to feed the diners on the surface, but in fact they serve the dead. ”
When Lin Shao heard this, he was very interested, and kept talking about the contents of the book, saying how the owner of the village was vicious and deceived the world, but in the end, how was it exposed by ordinary chivalrous people, and then exterminated.
In the end, Lin Shaowen still sneered, saying that these families are always scribbling, how can there be such a thing in reality.
"Poof, cousin, let you read the scriptures, you feel that your head is big, for these barnyard official history, you are easy to come by, which is admirable."
Princess Jianwen also agreed, hoping that Lin Shaowen could focus on this subset of scripture and history, and he would have become a generation of talents long ago.
Lin Shaowen said yes, and then asked them: "Then according to your opinion, is there such a possibility for this Zhu Chenhao?" ”
Princess Jianwen said yes, this is a road, it is the closest avenue from Nishan City to Hailan City, if someone ambushes here, if there is a military situation at that time, he can block the connection between Hailan City and Nishan City, so that the two governments cannot understand each other's situation.
When Princess Jianwen said this, she suddenly thought of an idea and told Lin Shaowen that this may have been arranged by King Cao, and King Cao would make trouble in Canghai Mansion at that time, and Hailan City would not be on guard at that time, and it would be easy to be besieged.
The one who can ask for help in this Hailan City is Jinyang Mansion, because the Haining Mansion below is a small mansion, with more than enough defense and insufficient rescue.
And to inform Jinyang Mansion, you have to take this road, and the news here has been blocked, and Nishan City has also been captured by the group of people in Yuhua Temple, so the news of this rebellion will be delayed for a few days before it will be known by the imperial court.
By the time the imperial court mobilizes a large army to quell the rebellion, this King Cao must have been ready for battle, and even if the imperial court wants to exterminate it, it will cost a great price.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Princess Jianwen became, although it was not good to doubt King Cao like this, but only this could be explained.
Princess Jianwen thought of the back and said to Lin Shaowen: "Now that we have not succeeded in Yuhua Temple, no matter what, we must take him down here." Regardless of whether he is a subordinate of King Cao or not, this place cannot fall into the hands of villains. ”
Lin Shaowen asked Princess Jianwen to calm down first, although she wanted to do this, she had to do it step by step.
So the three of them began to ponder, these three people thought about it, analyzed and analyzed, and made a plan, the first step is to win over Master Gao, now this Gao Laozhuang, half of them are Zhu Chenhao's cronies, when the time comes, there is a conflict, they are few, and they will always suffer, if this can get the help of people on Master Gao's side, then there will be more help. Moreover, Zhu Chenhao is an outsider, and if he wants to gain a foothold here, he doesn't dare to offend Master Gao too much.
With this direction, they decided to start testing Master Gao's tone first, as the saying goes, they are outsiders after all, so they opened the door and let Master Gao deal with his son-in-law, Master Gao either regarded them as crazy people or villains, no matter how they looked at them, they must not like them in their hearts.
Early the next morning, Princess Jianwen took a piece of silver to the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper to help introduce Master Gao, who had a cousin who was also a businessman and was going to open a silk village here, but I don't know if Master Gao agreed.
In front of the white flowers, who would say no? So there was a reply to this matter in the afternoon, and the shopkeeper took them to Gao's house to see Master Gao.
On the way, Princess Jianwen also asked about the identity of Master Gao, and the shopkeeper said that Master Gao had been an official under the Empress Dowager Xiaowen, and was quite trusted by the Empress Dowager Xiaowen.
Although Lord Gao is an honest official, he is a court official after all, and he still has some money, and later bought some land.
After that, the successive generations of Gao masters were all in the name of frugality, and under the saving of food and consumption, there were more and more fields of the Gao family, and now there is this Zhu son-in-law, which is further expanded.
But speaking of which, the shopkeeper is a little sorry, saying that such a big foundation, but unfortunately there is no inheritance of the lineage.
And because Master Gao is physically tough, he has not yet had a step-son from the clan.
When the shopkeeper said this, he was a little envious, saying that he didn't know who was so lucky to inherit this splashing furniture.
Princess Jianwen kept these news in mind, so it seems that this Zhu Chenhao will not attack Master Gao, at least before King Cao makes trouble.
Now Zhu Chenhao can still stay here in the name of taking care of Master Gao, if Master Gao dies, according to the etiquette system, he will inherit a son from the clan, then Zhu Chenhao will have no place to stand.
When I arrived at Gao's house and entered the gate, I saw not high-rise buildings, but simple brick houses, and in this living room, except for a few calligraphy and paintings, there were no valuable things.
It seems that this frugal tradition is not nonsense.
Mr. Gao is in good spirits, speaks strongly, and does not look old at all.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Princess Jianwen said something about the silk shop, and then said to Master Gao: "Master Gao, it's really not a secret, we didn't know what to do at first, whether to look for you or to find a son-in-law." ”
"There is no difference between looking for Xiao Lao'er and looking for Fear, Fearing Heaven is very bold, by no means the kind of stingy person, if you want to open a store, you will open a store, he will never embarrass you."
Hearing this, Princess Jianwen was a little worried, it seems that the relationship between this old man Gao and Zhu Chenhao is not bad.
At this time, Lin Shaowen opened his mouth and said: "Uncle, let's not hide it, we are a little curious, what is the origin of Ling's son-in-law." After Lin Shaowen finished speaking, he saluted and said: "Please forgive me, I heard that this Gao Laozhuang also had such a scene after the arrival of his son-in-law." I thought to myself that the wise men of the ancients, who became a city in a year, are nothing more than that. ”
When Master Gao heard this, he said with a smile: "The origin of the son-in-law, I am not afraid of your jokes, he was originally a scholar, but if he missed once, he lost his fame." If you can't learn literature, you will go to learn martial arts, but this martial arts study is from elementary school, and if you become a monk halfway like this, you naturally have no achievements. The old man saw that although he didn't win the move, he could be regarded as both civil and military, so he couldn't help but marry the little girl to him. ”
Chen Qiushui hurriedly said: "But according to our dart master, Ling's martial arts are already rare in the world, not to mention martial arts, even if it is a martial champion, it is not a problem." ”
Master Gao replied with a smile: "My son-in-law has made great progress in martial arts and literature over the years, but he is just like Tao Wuliu, enjoying the days under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums." ”
Princess Jianwen and the three looked at each other, and then Lin Shaowen continued to ask, and this old man Gao continued to talk about his son-in-law.
After saying this, Master Gao left them to eat, and when he was about to say goodbye after eating, Chen Qiushui asked: "Uncle, in fact, you should persuade your son-in-law, this fame still needs to be there, the little woman took the liberty to say, if you are a hundred years old, how should he take care of himself?" ”
When Master Gao heard this, a trace of grief and indignation flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and said: "The children and grandchildren here have their own children and grandchildren, and he has so many friends, so he will naturally take care of him." Besides, how can a big man, who is good at hands and feet, be starved to death. ”
The three of them didn't say much, and left here.
After returning to the inn, the three of them discussed again, and Lin Shaowen took the lead in speaking: "It's not right, it's not right, the relationship between this Master Gao and Zhu Chenhao is definitely not so close." ”
Princess Jianwen nodded approvingly, and said that when she was eating just now, this Zhu Chenhao did not come back, which is not in line with filial piety, if it is a filial son, the old man will serve three meals, and ask if the meal is delicious, or prepare soup for the old man, so that the old man can moisten his throat.
Since this Zhu Chenhao is not a filial son, Master Gao should not talk about it so enthusiastically, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and Master Gao looks like this, it is probably pretended.
After all, for Princess Jianwen, Master Gao is an outsider. And on the other hand, they are also outsiders to Master Gao, so naturally they will not say anything easily.
Therefore, they felt that it was necessary to continue to further probe it, as for how to tempt, they had not yet thought about it, Chen Qiushui's suggestion was to get straight to the point, and everyone would make a final decision, so as not to guess so much and waste time.
Princess Jianwen denied this suggestion and told Chen Qiushui that they wanted a final word, but Master Gao might not be willing. At that time, Master Gao misunderstood their intentions and thought that they were sent by Zhu Chenhao to test him, and refused to cooperate with them, which would be self-defeating.
