Chapter 166: Inquiry
On the official road to Suzhou, a group of dozens of people galloped past on fast horses, raising dust all the way behind them, and the figure disappeared in a blink of an eye.
They went to Suzhou to investigate the evidence of corruption and collusion with wealthy businessmen to store grain.
At present, Long Xiang is mainly responsible for military intelligence investigation, and occasionally performs other tasks, such as: infiltration, assassination, kidnapping, etc.
Jin Yiwei is mainly responsible for intelligence investigation, the scope is very large, not only responsible for the military situation, but also responsible for the people throughout the country, mainly for officials, families, etc., Jin Yiwei and Long Xiang do not accept each other and do not interfere with each other.
After resting outside the city for a night, as the gate of Suzhou City opened on the second day, the number of people entering and leaving Suzhou City gradually increased.
Suzhou has a long history, according to legend, there are human beings inhabiting here in the new era, there are small mountain pass ruins, ancient Taisi ruins, the Zhou Dynasty began to build Qiyi, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, because of the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Tongji Canal section, Suzhou, the name has been used until now, it is an important birthplace of Chu and Han cultures and Huaihe cultures.
At noon, Yang Qili and the other two Yebu found a tavern, asked for a few simple side dishes, and asked for a pot of wine, and the three of them listened to the chatter of the people around them while eating.
I don't know why, two green skins suddenly came to the tavern, and the tavern shopkeeper was startled, and what surprised him was that these few green skins who looked like dogs on weekdays surprisingly didn't make trouble today, just sat on the side and asked for a pot of wine.
One Qingpi asked another Qingpi and said: "Sixth brother, you said that there are really everyone in this Suzhou City, there are actually people who are willing to spend money, just to buy something new, do you say that this person has too much money and has no place to put it." β
Another green skin said: "This must be the son of an official who has nothing to do all day long, maybe he wants to drink with someone and show off, let's take care of him, someone pays for it, let's do it, anyway, the work is not tired, just move your mouth, maybe you can get a big bonus!" β
They were also curious, and they were gathered by their boss early in the morning to give a lecture, saying that someone paid money, just to know some new things in Suzhou City, let them go out to inquire, who inquired more energetically, the more bonuses, the maximum prize is 3,000 taels of silver!
Not only the piece they managed, but all the greenskins, gangsters, and beggars in the entire Suzhou City were busy, and they all received their own arrangements.
The fat green skin, known as Six, stood up and said to everyone in the tavern: "Everyone here, today's wine money brother is invited, everyone drink and chat, especially what new things have happened recently to tell the big guy!" β
Someone invites wine to drink, everyone is happy in their hearts, as the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth, you can't just eat without talking.
One of the circle-legged men took the lead in speaking, and said: "There is a man surnamed Wang next door to my house, his cattle are lost, he doesn't want to look for it, he has to let me find it, and he said that he will give me a penny of silver when he finds it, do you think this guy is stupid?" β
Someone asked, "Did you find it?" Did you earn the money? β
Luo Quanleg replied: "It only took me less than half an hour to find it in his family's field three miles away, and of course I earned the silver, otherwise how can I say that the old king is stupid!" β
Yang Qili couldn't help but interject: "I guess Brother Tai must have a wife, right?" And the old king next door to your house is a bachelor, and every once in a while he is stupid to give you money to help him find something. β
Luo Quanleg exclaimed: "Brotherhood fortune telling? Where are you worshipping the teacher? β
Yang Qili was speechless, and replied casually: "Guess casually, guess casually......."
Luo Quanleg said again: "Master, can you give me another calculation?" β
Yang Qili smiled dryly: "I can't talk about the master, but I see your face festive, there will be happy events in the family in recent months, you ....... Maybe I'm going to be a dad! β
"Really!" Luo Quanleg was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to Yang Qili a few times, and solemnly ordered a meat dish for Yang Qili to give to a table.
Yang Qili couldn't hold back his enthusiasm, and was afraid that he would mess around, so after a few polite words, he turned his head to talk to the other two Yebu and ignored him.
The fat green skin of the topic initiator looked at Yang Qili and said, "This brother's eyes are tight, and his accent doesn't look like a local!" β
Yang Qili turned his head and replied: "I am a northerner, and the northern Tartars are making a lot of trouble, so I brought two brothers to the south to eat. β
"Brotherly righteousness! Thank you very much! The fat green skin hugged his fists and smiled, and he was happy in his heart, this foreign fake fortune teller was really on the road, saving him a few dollars of silver.
Driven by Lao Wang's neighbors, everyone in the tavern began to chat, from the loss of a chicken in the Sun family, to the Li family's mother-in-law disciplining her daughter-in-law, and then to the Qin family's daughter-in-law and which little brother were eyebrows, all of which were a bunch of gossip news.
Yang Qili and the three of them glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, and then lowered their heads and ate again.
Suddenly, there were three people at the table next to him and said in a low voice, "Third brother, have you heard, the day before yesterday, our Lord Zhizhou newly accepted the thirteenth concubine, it is said that she just turned sixteen years old this year, and the little girl is very smart!" β
The third brother said: "How did I hear that it was the daughter of Feng Laohan on Dongjie, and she already had her in-law's family and was ready to get married this year, but I didn't expect to be snatched by Lord Zhizhou." β
The man said again: "Isn't it, the fiancΓ© of Feng Laohan's daughter also went to the state government to find the Zhizhou theory, and I don't want to let the official discount his leg without even seeing anyone, and it's inconvenient to even pee, it's really miserable!" β
The third brother said again: "This is still miserable? Feng Laohan's mother-in-law hanged herself because of this incident, Feng Laohan is such a daughter, the family is finished, and I don't know when this official will be punished. β
Someone sighed when he heard the words and said: "There are people in Fengyang Mansion above, my brother-in-law is the commander of Fengyangwei, and my brother-in-law is the commander of Huaiyuanwei. β
When Yang Qili heard this, he secretly wrote down this Zhizhou in his heart, and the fat green skin also raised his eyebrows, and silently wrote down the matter of Zhizhou's concubine.
After listening for a while, Yang Qili beckoned the shopkeeper over and took out five taels of silver to settle the account.
When some people in the tavern saw this, their eyes lit up, and they secretly said that this fortune teller is really rich! It's really necessary to have a craft in this world!
Fat Qingpi smiled and said, "Thank you, brother!" β
"You're welcome, farewell!" Yang Qili smiled slightly, and left the tavern, preparing to secretly go to the Zhizhou Mansion to take a stroll and interview the thirteen-room concubine of Xinna.
