Chapter 225: Wang Gui
/p> There are not many people in the old palace of King Han in Jingshi, and there are only a few slaves and maids left to look at the empty house.
When Zhao Ping left the jade shop, it was past the unitary hour; As soon as he returned to his old house, the sky began to darken. If it weren't for summer, it would have darkened faster.
He was just about to go to the wing where Wang Gui lived, when he was stopped by a sergeant. The sergeant clenched his fists and said, "Zhao Baihu has to wait a while, there are people in the prince's mansion." ”
"Who?" Zhao Ping asked casually.
The sergeant took two steps forward and said mysteriously: "The girl from the Drunken Immortal Building has been coming out for a while, and I guess I can come out after a little longer." ”
Zhao Ping was stunned and said: "The prince is not a eunuch...... The eunuch also wants to find a kiln|sister? ”
The sergeant smiled and said, "The prince wants to find it, and we can't stop it." ”
Zhao Ping stood still under the eaves, looked at Wang Gui's door, and said, "Then it's inconvenient for me to disturb the good things of the prince, so I have to wait for a while." ”
…… In the wing room, Wang Gui had just dressed and touched a stack of treasure money on the table with the cloth baggage next to the bed. The girl took one look at it and accepted it without objection...... Although the Daming treasure banknotes are becoming more and more worthless now, and many people are unwilling to accept them, fortunately, Wang Gui has given a lot.
"My father-in-law is generous, and the concubine is very grateful." The girl said, and was busy arranging her clothes.
Wang Gui wiped the sweat from his forehead, exhaled a long breath and said: "In ancient times, someone did this, and the King of Qin gave that person a car, and our family deserves this little reward." It's not easy for you to do that, aren't you forced by the bustards of the Drunken Immortal Tower? ”
The woman smiled, "What could it be?" If the concubine is unwilling, how many girls will rush this job. There's no way, we don't have the beauty of the country and the city, we can only serve the guest officials more thoughtfully, otherwise who spends money to find us? ”
Seeing that she could still accompany her smiling face, Wang Gui couldn't help but touch a handful of copper coins and put them on the table.
The woman bowed her knees and took the money and walked away.
After a while, Zhao Ping walked into the door of the wing, almost the woman walked on the front foot, he came on the back foot, or had been waiting outside the door for a while.
"The prince is so interested." Zhao Ping hugged his fists.
Wang Gui said casually: "Our family wanted to do this before, but we didn't do it, you also know that our family is a eunuch." I found out today that Sister Yao doesn't dislike our family. ”
Zhao Ping said: "The prince doesn't feel that he has spent unjust money, how can he be suspicious?" ”
Wang Gui nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's not wronged, she has a reaction, our family can watch or think." ”
Zhao Ping looked like he didn't know how to reply, speechless.
Wang Gui asked, "It seems that the matter is done?" ”
Zhao Ping hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Back to the prince, it has been done, just wait for the official document of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." ”
"Okay, Wang Zhenliang got something, and he will send it straight to the jade shop, he has been to that place." Wang Guidao, he suddenly said again, "Zhao Baihu was surprised just now? Do you think eunuchs are pure-hearted and have few desires? ”
Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a moment before shaking his head and said, "I didn't think about it...... But the meaning of pure heart and few desires is not only women, right? ”
Wang Gui stared at Zhao Ping and said in a deep voice: "What you want, our family wants!" Gold and silver, treasures, fertile land, status, and beautiful women! Even if we don't have birds, we still want it! ”
Zhao Ping couldn't answer for a while, and stood there dumbfounded.
Wang Gui said: "The prince can give our family these things, and our family can only be loyal to the prince." You Zhao Ping is not a eunuch, but if you get on this boat, you can't get off, otherwise you will die immediately! ”
After Wang Gui finished speaking, his eyes were faintly red.
Zhao Ping said in a deep voice: "The last general never thought that he would be disloyal to the prince. ”
"That's good. If you are afraid of death, do what you want to do first, like our family. Wang Gui said again.
After Wang Gui finished speaking, he took a long breath, and he didn't know why he said something irrelevant.
Perhaps, because he felt fear. Death is not the most feared thing, and life is better than death......
Wang Gui didn't want to pay attention to the matter of peace, anyway, he was not responsible for this matter when he went to Beijing. But Ping'an said that when he was the commander of the capital in Beiping, he found out from the officials of Beiping that Qu Neng's father and son might not be dead, but they were rescued. Ping'an quietly asked Wang Gui again: Was it rescued by King Han?
What no one has ever doubted, Ping An can think of this! So Wang Gui didn't dare to ignore the flat settlement anymore, for fear that things would become more troublesome.
Because this matter is the holy reverse scale! In addition, no one dared to touch the king of Han, and no one dared to touch his king.
Wang Gui and Zhao Ping were silent together for a long time, Wang Gui finally spoke, and said quietly: "Once Chen Dazhui leaves Beijing, tell our family immediately, and we must leave quickly!" ”
Zhao Ping hugged his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order." ”
……
The population of Yunnan Fucheng is quite large, but as soon as you leave the city gate, you can see the fields of crops as soon as you look past the low houses in the attached city.
After a carriage left the city, it slowly walked to the main road in the fields. Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Bin wore cloth clothes and sat in a carriage; The one who drove the car was Wang Yu, who tried 100 households.
At this time, Wang Yu said in front: "Son, the front is Geng's Zhuangtian." ”
"Stop, don't go any further." Zhu Gaoxu said.
After the carriage stopped, Zhu Gaoxu walked down. He slightly shaded the glare of the sun with his palms and looked ahead. Between the undulating rice fields, there are scattered houses, among which there is the largest farm, which is supposed to be where the Geng family lives.
There were a few peasants around the rice paddies, wearing straw hats and bending over, as if they were pulling something out of the paddy fields.
"It would be great if a spy could be planted in Gengjiazhuang." Zhu Gaoxu groaned.
Wang Yu sat in the position of the car and did not say a word, he must have been unable to think of a way for a while. Zhu Gaoxu saw it in his eyes and knew in his heart that it was difficult to let people in this kind of township. Unlike the densely populated and mixed situation in the city, the people in the village generally know each other.
At this moment, a man in a short coat leading an ox came to the main road, the man with dark skin, a straw hat, and two bare legs, and while driving the oxen, he looked curiously at the carriage on the road.
The man in the short coat didn't say a word, and crossed the road to go the other way. Zhu Gaoxu spoke first: "Brother, are the people in the fields pulling weeds?" ”
The man was obviously Han Chinese, and he could understand Zhu Gaoxu's words, so he stopped and said: "All the grass is pulled, there are weeds, and those things want to be fattened." Are you coming to the city? ”
Most of the Han people in Yunnan migrated and spoke with any accent, but the largest number of people came from neighboring provinces, and the accent was somewhat similar to that of Sichuan. Zhu Gaoxu happened to understand Sichuanese.
"yes." Zhu Gaoxu replied with a smile, "How much can your family harvest in a year?" ”
"Childe asked us about this place? These lands are close to the city, and almost all of them belong to the families of dignitaries, and we have paid the rent, which is only enough to make ends meet. Fortunately, not far from Fucheng, farmers and idle sellers order goods, and those who work hard can have a few dollars left a year. The man in the short coat spoke clearly.
Zhu Gaoxu listened and asked, "No one has sold the land?" ”
The man in short clothes looked suddenly at this time, and said: "Childe can only go to other places to ask, there are miles of land in the Mu family, I'm afraid I can't buy it." ”
"Thank you." Zhu Gaoxu hugged his fists.
He returned to the carriage and told Wang Yu to turn around. After a while, he said to the commander Wang Bin: "The spy who installed us is too eye-catching, but he can buy the local tenants." The farmer only has a few dollars left over for a year of hard work, and there should be someone willing to do it with our light business. ”
Wang Bin said: "The last general is worried that the tenants are unreliable. ”
Zhu Gaoxu said: "The people sent to contact, let alone the people from the Han Palace, don't worry." ”
Wang Bin nodded after hearing this, and said after a moment's silence: "There is!" I sent an individual, claiming to be a money lender. It is said that Geng Gongzi borrowed the money and did not pay it back, and Qian Zhuang did not dare to act rashly because of the relationship between the Geng family. Therefore, we want someone to help keep an eye on and see what kind of people Geng Gongzi is associating with. ”
"That's a good idea!" Zhu Gaoxu praised, "The man said just now that people from nearby townships often come to the city to sell goods and do business, so we can pick those people." ”
Wang Bin said embarrassedly: "I borrowed money in Beiping, and I suddenly thought of it." ”
Zhu Gaoxu lifted the curtain, stretched out his head, and looked back at the Geng family manor that was gradually moving away. The Zhuangzi has white walls and green tiles, and there are pavilions, which are really well repaired, and are surrounded by fertile fields, most of which are paddy fields that can grow rice. Zhu Gaoxu said in his heart: In the end, it is a noble, and he can live so well after running away.
In this case, what is there to hook up with Geng Hao and Hu Hu?
Judging from Shen Xu's secret report, it should be Hu Hu who hooked up with Geng Hao. But it must be Geng Hao who can be used for Hu Hu to do this...... Zhu Gaoxu knows a little bit about Hu Hu, and even the secret matter of Jianwen's escape, he can know some clues, and he must be very thoughtful; Otherwise, the emperor would not have reused him.
At this time, Wang Bin's voice said: "Lord Wang, Hu Hu lives on Bao'en Temple Street, should the palace guard set up a stronghold over there?" ”
"This matter must be done slowly, and it must be foolproof." Zhu Gaoxu put down the curtain, turned his head and said, "Hu Hu is very vigilant, if he finds out, we can't explain." Previously, it didn't matter whether we dealt with Mu Fu or Duan Yang's family, but Hu Hu was different, he was a person who was ordered by his father. ”
Wang Bin hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The last general understands." ”
Zhu Gaoxu wore two thin clothes and sat in the carriage. Summer in Yunnan is not hot, but you can still feel the change in temperature in the four seasons.
He remembered that when Wang Gui and the others left Yunnan, it was still late spring and early summer, and it had been almost two months now. The team walked the post road and changed horses at the post station, and the journey from Yunnan to Beijing would not exceed a month; If things go well, their return is not far off.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but look at the northeast from the car window. However, the terrain in the northeast is undulating, and the people on the road do not have a wide line of vision, and can only see the undulating crops and the dark shadows of the mountains looming in the sky.
