Chapter 165: Resignation 3
Zhou Nan locked the two men in two separate rooms, and under some intimidation, they both told the truth.
The man who taught people to sing music, surnamed Li Mingfang, was originally a scoundrel in the city, and he had learned some poetry and songs, etc., and someone found him a few days ago, and asked him to find some singers to sing "Bodhisattva Man" in various restaurants, as well as "Chunyu Wang Song", and he also wanted him to make up some Liao people and horses staying in Huamian Pavilion at night. He didn't want to do it, but the man gave him ten taels of silver, and said that he would give him ten taels for every day he sang, and he did it.
As for the man who asked him, the man knew nothing. Zhou Nan asked again if it was the person next to him, and the man shook his head like a rattle, saying that today was the first time he had seen this person.
Zhou Nan asked again: "In the huge Bianjing City, are you the only one teaching to sing these tunes?" ”
The man hurriedly said: "It's not a small person, as far as the villain knows, there are still He Laosi and Shisha in Sweet Water Lane, and they all have money, and they arranged for the singer to sing these tunes in the restaurant Flower Lane." ”
"And how do you get your bounty every day?" Zhou Nan said in disbelief.
"Every day, I go to the Peach Blossom Cave in Lijing Gate to find the person to receive the reward. Yesterday, because I ate too much wine, I didn't go to get it, and today I haven't gotten it, so I brought it to all the good men. The man was afraid that Zhou Nan would not believe it, so he hurriedly said.
"Where is the Peach Blossom Cave?" Zhou Nan asked strangely.
"It is also a place of wind and moon, people love the little lady who looks like a peach blossom, and the house is deep, so it is called the peach blossom cave." When this man talks about Peach Blossom Cave, he has an obscene face, and it seems that he often goes.
The arrogant man first asked Zhou Nan to promise to let him go, and asked Zhou Nan to give him a hundred taels of silver before he could speak. Zhou Nan knew that this man wanted to leave a way for himself to live, so he immediately agreed.
It turned out that this man was a guy from Zheng Ji's silk shop on the small goods street, and their shopkeeper's surname was Zheng, who was working for Wang Xianggong. A few days ago, the shopkeeper found some singers to sing "Chunyu Wang Song" everywhere, and he also knew it. When the shopkeeper came back today, he hurriedly asked him to pass on the message to these people, and he was not allowed to sing anymore, and asked these people to hide for a few days. He didn't have to inform Li Fang, because this Li Fang was found by someone else. It's just that the shopkeeper Zheng specially asked him to go to see Li Fang, and as soon as he entered Li Fang's house, he was arrested.
"Which prince?" Zhou Nan asked.
"Naturally, it's Wang Huang, the prince of the king." The man glanced at Zhou Nan strangely.
"No wonder it was quite horizontal at the beginning, it turned out to be for Wang Jinjing." Zhou Nan said with a smile, "The dignified prime minister actually used some chickens and dogs to do these indiscriminate methods of spreading rumors and causing trouble. ”
"Hehe, I was originally a rooster and dog thief, but I heard that even the scholars of Jinshi and the first are also performing and singing!" The man couldn't help but retort.
Zhou Nan was shocked, if he relied on Wang Hao's power to find a jinshi to do such a thing, he was afraid that it would be difficult, and his face was a little disdainful. The man didn't believe it, and said, "You just have to see if there are any Jinshi who have gone to work in the past few days, and I don't know anything else." ”
Zhou Nan saw that what these two people said was not bad with what he guessed, and asked where Zheng Ji's silk shop was, so he ordered someone to tie up these two people and look at it.
The man who asked Zhou Nan to promise to let him go hurriedly shouted for Zhou Nan to let him go, and Zhou Nan comforted and said: "Don't worry, when I leave, I will naturally let you go, and I will give you a hundred taels of silver to pay for your journey." Li Feixing didn't wait for this person to speak again, so he asked the two men to go down.
Zhou Nan instructed Xiao Jiu'er again, and Xiao Jiu'er left overnight with the four people who came together.
Zhou Nan slept peacefully and waited to go to the palace to see Zhao Ji early tomorrow morning. I don't know what time it was at night, Zhou Nan suddenly heard Li Feixing calling him outside the door. Zhou Nan hurriedly got up and opened the door, only to see a few pro-army guards standing in the courtyard, and two men on the ground, with their hands and feet tied.
Li Feixing saw Zhou Nan come out, and said in a low voice: "These two people entered over the wall and wanted to set fire to the courtyard where the carriage was placed, but they were caught by the guards guarding it, and asked the master of the village to leave." ”
Zhou Nan frowned, he couldn't imagine that his opponent would use such a low-level means to burn the newly built carriage, so that he would not be able to present the carriage to Zhao Ji tomorrow. Zhou Nan had no interest in these two thieves and said, "Who sent them?" ”
Li Feixing replied: "These two are outlaws who have been hidden for many years, and it is only said that someone paid 500 yuan for the two of them to go to the Duting Station, find the yard where the carriage is parked, and set a big fire." The two came without asking for a reason. ”
Zhou Nan knew that such an outlaw would never be the master's own subordinates, and if he pursued it, there would be no result, so he said: "Tie them up together, and give the prince a return gift in a few days." ”
After the rooster crowed, a new day in Bianjing City began.
Bianjing is perhaps the strangest and least royal capital in the ancient capital. The south gate of the imperial palace, the Xuande Gate, the south gate of the inner city, the Suzaku Gate, and the South Gate of the outer city are opposite to the north and south, and the South Smoke Gate, in addition to the emperor can pass through on weekdays, only pigs can pass through.
Every morning, as soon as the sky dawns, people outside Bianjing City will drive large herds of live pigs from the main gate of Xuande Gate into Bianjing City to satisfy people's appetites.
Zhou Nan has never seen such a large-scale pig driving scene. At this time, he and Li Feixing were escorting two carriages into the palace with a few of his own pro-army guards. Because Zhou Nan was going to enter the palace with a carriage this time, he was not able to enter the palace with Cai You all the way, but was led by the inner attendant to the Xihua Gate.
Under the leadership of the inner attendant, he entered from the Xihua Gate on the west side of the palace, and walked a little east along the palace street before coming to the gate of the vertical arch hall.
The scandal Xiaoqu in the past few days, and the arson of the carriage in the Duting Station, these tricks made Zhou Nan a little speechless. These days, in Bianjing City, in addition to feeling the intrigue of the emperor and ministers, and greedy for enjoyment, Zhou Nan can't see a trace of people and things that are working hard.
And it would be a waste of time to stay in Bianjing any longer. Although Zhao Ji is not allowed to open border markets with each other, he still has to do it according to his own ideas.
When one day, the people of the Great Song Dynasty suddenly discovered that they had not traded with the Jin Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom, and the northern tribes for a long time, and when the people of the Great Song Dynasty needed the goods of the northern countries and tribes, they would know that the north and east had been completely isolated from their own territory.
At that time, the only way for the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty to get goods from the north was through Yanjing City. Zhou Nan also believed that the profit-seeking nature of merchants could not be stopped by the holy decree of Zhao Ji, the emperor.
