Chapter 37: The Sword
Looking at the fold handed over by the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in his hand, Li Yuan took a few deep breaths before he reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, threw the fold on the ground and said coldly: "Do they still have the emperor in their eyes?" ”
Xia Lindao and the others, who were standing in the hall, bowed their heads and were silent, but it was better not to touch their heads at the moment. I only heard Li Yuan on the throne say fiercely: "I gave them enough face, and only sent a royal historian to go down and let them correct themselves, but what about them? I didn't think about it when I handed this fold, just with the waste on this fold, how dare they do the things of the three tribes, and be a fool when I am a fool? ”
Xia Lindao was a little helpless, so he could only stand up: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to make a conclusion too early at the moment, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to wait for Lord Huang's recital." ”
"Can you wait? Can this Jiang Zhe still let him Huang Xuan send a letter out? It's been two months, and you've seen a letter from the chapter? Li Yuan said angrily.
"Wang Wei, give me an edict, I want to ask him Lord Yang Taiyang, is this world mine, or those old and young." The king bowed down and should be.
Xia Lindao and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Yan Shixun seemed to think of something, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have become a dead end, and if you want to break it, you need to send someone to it." ”
Xia Lindao and the others looked at Yan Shixun suspiciously, the matter of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not just a simple matter of dam collapse and disaster, this is a fire pit, and whoever enters it will die. Yan Shixun has anyone to recommend.
"Who is Yan Aiqing referring to?" Li Yuan asked.
"Yasukuni Gonglin Yuan." As soon as Yan Shixun's voice fell, Xia Lindao first objected: "No." ”
"Lord Xia, why?" Yan Shixun looked at Xia Lin and said.
"If Yasukuni Gong goes, it will only make the situation more chaotic, and there is still the possibility of controlling it at the moment, so you can't take risks." Xia Lindao refused to let Yasukuni Gong enter the game, but this person has too many uncertainties, and the most important thing is that Jiangsu and Zhejiang cannot tolerate a minister with military power now.
Li Yuan looked at the two of them silently, and he couldn't get the idea in his heart, so he could only say: "This matter can be discussed later, I have to think about it." Stand down. ”
After sitting there for a while. Li Yuan suddenly remembered Lin Yuan's recital some time ago, although it was different from the appearance of the courtiers, full of vernacular, but there was one thing that others could not compare, that is, it was clearly organized and there was no nonsense. Looking at it this way, Lin Yuan is a person with ideas and senses.
Maybe Lin Yuan should really be allowed to go, but thinking of this, Li Yuan has a little headache, how to tell Concubine Ling about this.
Jiangnan was hit by floods, and many victims traveled long distances to Xijing. It was already a cold winter in the north, which caused many victims from the south to freeze to death on the way. When we arrived in Gyeonggi, the number of victims gradually decreased. The emperor decreed that the counties around the capital would gather the victims passing by and release grain for disaster relief.
Lin Jia and Shen Yue hid in the dense forest on the side of the road, changed their torn clothes, changed into plain clothes and planned to rush to Beijing, and the current victims could not enter Beijing.
Tightening the saber in his hand, Lin Jia looked at Shen Yue and said gratefully: "Sister, thank you for taking care of me all the way, if I don't have you, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of Zhenjiang Mansion." ”
Shen Yue's face was a little pale, in order to protect Lin Jia along the way, she also suffered several secret injuries, for fear that Lin Jia would be worried, she didn't say anything along the way. I saw Shen Yue reluctantly smiled: "Young grandma said that I was joking, I have been adopted by the Shen family since I was a child, and I have never dared to forget the grace of saving my life, this is what I should do, let's enter the city quickly, we should be able to arrive before dark." ”
The two walked towards the Jingshi together, but Shen Yue was a little sad, how to find the owner of this sword still has no clue, what if the family doesn't save it, after all, no one wants to grudge with the Wei family. Looking at Lin Jia with a face full of hope, Shen Yue really couldn't bear to tell her about the current situation. sighed in his heart, even if he fought for his life, he had to protect Lin Jia and not let her be hurt at all.
After a period of renovation, the Luoxian Building in the West Market finally opened under the expectation of the people in the capital. It is said that Zhao Ting, the third place in the previous competition, was in charge, and after the opening, Zhao Ting only made three tables of dishes a day, which needed to be booked in advance. You can't just spend money.
Fortunately, there are other masters with good skills in Luoxian Building, and even so, it is difficult to find a meal. Reservations for dinner have been lined up for three days.
"Grandpa is really good." Li Xiandao hasn't smiled in the past few days, and if you ask the entire capital, who needs to book a table of meals in a restaurant three days in advance. There is only one house, Luoxian Tower.
"You can't get carried away, but also pay attention to the quality of the food, you know, the reputation is good, but it's easy to ruin it, tell the masters, the craftsmanship is worthy of the money you take." Lin Yuan said.
"Don't worry, I've already commanded it. I will never smash my own signboard. Li Xiandao responded.
Looking at the people coming and going in the store, Lin Yuan nodded, compared to the full house of guests on the first floor, the third floor is a little quiet, this floor is all private rooms, take Lin Yuan's words, come to eat on this floor, is to eat an artistic conception. Therefore, it took Li Xiandao's thoughts.
After tasting Zhao Ting's dishes, Lin Yuan nodded, after Zhao Ting cooperated with Li Qingqian, her skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and she is no longer weaker than Li Qingqian. Seeing that Lin Yuan was satisfied with eating, Li Xiandao was even happier. Luoxianlou has the backer of Yasukuni Gong, which is really incomparable.
"Are there any troublemakers coming these days?" Lin Yuan put down his chopsticks and asked.
"Grandpa Lao is worried, there are not so many eye-opening things in Beijing right now." During this time, no one in Luoxian Lou really came to find trouble, even if the splashes on the street took a look at the door, they would be arrested and questioned by the patrol on the street. Li Xiandao made it clear that this is inseparable from the person in front of him.
"Where's Miss Qingqian?" Lin Yuan hadn't seen her in the store today.
"Miss went to the porridge field of Guangji Temple outside the city, and the victims from the south have gathered around Jingshi in the past few days. The young lady was kind-hearted, so she went to help, and the store didn't need him at the moment. Li Xiandao's words made Lin Yuan frown.
"The victims from Jiangsu and Zhejiang have come to the capital?" Lin Yuan really couldn't imagine that the catastrophe a few months ago had not been properly dealt with in the south.
Li Xiandao smiled bitterly: "Several places have been hit by disasters, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang can't take care of it." ”
"Only Miss Qingqian?" Lin Yuan was a little worried, the current Li Qingqian was the signboard of Luoxian Tower, and nothing could happen. turned around and ordered Yu Shi to send a few people to protect Miss Qingqian. Li Xiandao had some ambiguous guesses about Lin Yuan's thoughts, but he didn't say anything.
Lin Jia, who is still looking for someone in Beijing, has become more and more disappointed, and asked many people, they don't know anything about this sword, although the style is ordinary, but the fastidious sword should not be nameless in Beijing, Shen Yue has seen this sword, it is made of good materials, and ordinary people can't afford to use it at all.
"I'm sorry, this young lady, forgive me for being clumsy, the sword is a good sword, but I really don't know who in Beijing has this sword, if you want to use it, I can give a good price." This is already the fifth person who intends to buy this sword. Although the origin of this sword is unknown, it seems to be a good product. Shen Yue helplessly pulled Lin Jia out of the pawnshop.
"Sister, it's not a matter of going to a pawnshop when you're old, although they are well-informed, they don't necessarily know many people." Lin Jia persuaded. After entering Beijing, Shen Yue took her to the pawnshop in Beijing to ask, but there were no people who knew her, but many people wanted to buy this sword.
The pawnshop owner looked at Lin Jia and the others who were walking away, and instructed the guys in the store: "You take care of the store first, and then find someone to follow those two people, and I will go to the young master." ”
"Yes, shopkeeper." The pawnshop owner hurried outside.
Wangfu, Wang Ming has been grounded for a while, and he almost caused a big disaster to his family last time, but his family has only been a little more relaxed in the past few days. Wang Ming, who was teasing the birds in the yard, saw Zhao Gongzi, a former fox friend and dog friend, walking into the yard leisurely.
Zhao Gongzi's surname is Zhao Minggongzi, his family is a pawnshop, he has some family wealth, his biggest hobby is to visit the Qinglou, and he knows him in the Qinglou. Seeing that his steps were vain, he must have been drunk and sleepy last night.
A pungent smell of fat powder rushed into his nose, and Wang Ming pushed it away. During this time at home, Wang Ming reads books and amuses birds every day, but he is a little disgusted with the past days.
"Hiccup~" Zhao Gongzi took a break and looked at Wang Ming with a smile: "Didn't you say that you offended Yasukuni Gong last time?" I thought it wasn't a problem to hide all the time, you had to come to the door and apologize. ”
Seeing that Wang Ming was silent, Zhao Gongzi continued: "I have inquired, I heard that he is a master who does not love money and beauties, and I have also inquired about books. But if you are a military general, you must like weapons, and I will find you a treasure today. ”
The reason why Zhao Gongzi is so concerned is not only to maintain the relationship with the Wang family, although the Wang family has caused a big disaster at the moment, but after all, it relies on the Jinzhou Wang family behind it. And now he may catch the line of a national prince, which makes him have to have a snack.
Listening to Zhao Gongzi's words, Wang Ming was a little moved, it was really not a way to go on like this, he looked at Zhao Gongzi and said, "You didn't lie to me, right?" ”
"Then how can I lie to you, I still want to mix in Beijing in the future." Zhao Gongzi brought Wang Ming a high hat. Hearing this, Wang Ming nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll go with you." If it's not a good thing, you have to be careful. ”
Zhao Gongzi smiled and nodded, and asked the servant to lead the way, he had heard that many pawnshops in Beijing were rumored to have a sword in her hand. It is a rare treasure, and although the woman has no intention of selling it, these people always have a way to make it happen. This is a perfect opportunity for me to catch the line of the Yasukuni Gong. If it happens, he will also be a master in Beijing in the future, and no one can support him casually, including Wang Ming in front of him.
Thinking of the good days in the future, Zhao Gongzi felt that the pores all over his body were opened, and that feeling was unprecedented, this is probably the feeling of power that his parents in the family said.
Zhao Gongzi was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's practice of sending people to follow, and it didn't take long for them to catch up, looking at the two people who were asking in the crowd in the distance, and the moment Lin Jia turned around, Zhao Gongzi was stunned, there was such a beautiful woman in the world.
