Chapter 47: Intrigue Inside and Outside the Court – The Noodle House Becomes the Main Scene
But what Yun Xi didn't notice was that among the seven people in that group, in addition to the person from the southwest region who he felt familiar, there was another person he should also feel familiar with; There was another person he hadn't met, but that person was very familiar with Yoon-hee. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The people from the southwest region apparently recognized Yoon-hee as well. You must know that although Yun Xi came out today and was close to traveling publicly, he did not play his own signboard, but only said that he was a county king, and at this time there were many county kings in Beijing: because Lao Zhu likes to call his grandchildren to the capital to teach uniformly, and at the same time, he also enjoys the joy of family, so now there are twenty or thirty people in the capital, including the prince and the prince, who can be called the county king; If you hadn't really seen Yun Hee, it would have been impossible to identify who it was.
I saw that the middle-aged man who recognized Yunxi and Yunnan people said to the people around him: "This county king is Zhu Yunxi, who is about to become the emperor's grandson." I saw General Mu at his funeral, and he sat in a very conspicuous position on behalf of the emperor on that day, and I would never admit my mistake. ”
And the person listening to him at this time was the girl who had been here at noon yesterday. The girl stared at Yun Xi and asked, "Uncle Hua, didn't you say that most of the emperor's family in the Central Plains grew up in the deep palace and were all weak?" But this Zhu Yunxi looks quite strong. "Don't say it, Yun Xi didn't like to read and practice martial arts since he was a child, but his body is very good, and his eight-pack abs are neat.
At this time, Yun Xi and the others had already gone out and rode their horses away, and their group walked into the store. The seven of them were the people who had booked the private room, and the Han man who accompanied them went to the counter, and the whisper known as Uncle Hua continued to say to the girl: "Ping'er, that's probably because the Ming Dynasty has not been around for a long time, and the martial spirit is still there." The girl known as Ping'er was noncommittal.
A group of seven of them, under the guidance of the guys, went upstairs to the ground house. The guy who brought them up happened to be the one who delivered them food last time, because such a group is rare in the capital, so they still remember them vividly, knowing that they don't like to have others present, so after asking everyone what they ordered, they hurried down, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Several of the people present began to speak after confirming that no one could eavesdrop on the conversation.
===============================================================
At this time, in the back kitchen downstairs, Tang Bohe was chattering to his wife: "Look, this time, the Third Highness came to our store openly, and we can say that this is the noodle that the Third Highness likes to eat......
Mo interrupted him irritably and said, "Although the Third Highness is here in public today, has anyone said the name of His Highness?" Those guards have always just said His Royal Highness the King of the County, and the others are all guessed by us, what do we say? Besides, His Royal Highness's lack of publicity means that he may not be willing to be known to go out of the palace to eat, if we really publicize it, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not arouse His Highness's disgust, it will be self-defeating. When Tang Bohe heard this, he felt that he was thinking about good things, and what his wife said was very reasonable, so his thoughts could only be an idea forever.
Tang Bohe walked back to the counter with a little frustration, sat on the counter and looked at the store. At this time, Zhang Li, a guy who always served on the second floor, passed by the counter with a few plates of side dishes and said hello to Tang Bohe, and Tang Bohe also responded.
The guy had already walked a few steps, and suddenly came back and said to Tang Bohe: "The guy who came here yesterday had a few guests from Yunnan, and they are here again today." ”
Tang Bohe suddenly cheered up the spirit that was still a little sluggish just now, and asked, "Are you sure it's the group of guests from yesterday?" It can't be misunderstood. ”
The guy Zhang Li replied: "That group of guests is so distinctive, how can I be wrong; Besides, they came to our store yesterday, and they didn't come a long time ago, so I can't be mistaken; It's just that when I came yesterday, there were two people from Yunnan's side, and today there should be three. ”
Tang Bohe's interest was immediately aroused. But he remembered that his wife would definitely not agree, but he really couldn't hold back his curiosity, and was very entangled.
As for the fact that eavesdropping on their conversation would be discovered, Tang Bohe didn't particularly care. They have a hard-to-spot facility that allows you to eavesdrop on conversations in the second-floor box - copper listening tubes.
It turned out that in chapter 19, Chen Xing and Yunxi said that Tang Bohe said that their ancestor had met Prime Minister Meng Yuancheng Totokh was not bragging, and their ancestor really worked as a cook in Totok's house. The era of the existence of the tube in Chinese history is very long, but only the upper class people know, ordinary people do not know, and the ancestors of the Tang family also knew that there was such a thing by chance, and saw the real thing once. Later, the Mengyuan Empire was driven out of the Central Plains, and the remnants fled to the northern grasslands.
Later, after they settled down in the capital and opened a small noodle restaurant, Tang's father remembered the listening tube he had seen and thought that it might be useful, so he installed it in his shop. But it hasn't been used for anything serious until now.
Tang Bohe's heart was in a situation like a cat's claw, and then Mo came out and said: "The dishes in our store are only enough for two days, so we have to buy some more." I'm going out to buy some groceries. ”
Tang Bohe said: "I'd better go." ”
Mo said: "No, no, Chen'er (their eldest son) is also fifteen, not too young, just let Chen'er accompany me; I'll take two guys to push the cart and help pick up the food, and you can just stay in the store and watch the store. ”
Tang Bohe didn't make any further comments. When his wife Mo Shi had already left the store, he suddenly remembered: "Isn't there no one in the store to stop me now?" ’
Then Tang Bohe couldn't bear it any longer, found a guy to stare at the counter, returned to the bedroom by himself, opened the hidden cubicle, unscrewed the switch again, opened the lid, and revealed the listening tube inside.
Tang Bohe put his ear to the tube marked 'ground number' and began to listen to them.
I only heard a male voice with a strange accent say, "...... This poison has been passed down from generation to generation in our village, and it has always been used by the people in our own village, and it has never been sold to others. ”
A woman with a capital accent said, "You gave us this poison, and we can't solve the secret recipe for this poison." You have passed on this poison for so many generations, and according to your own words, you have never let anyone else crack it, and you have no faith in the secret recipe that you think it will solve us? ”
Another woman who spoke Suzhou continued: "Besides, this is the capital, and you are Yunnan people. These are two places where the mountains and rivers are completely incompatible, and we cannot harm you with poison. ”
Then there was a burst of words that Tang Bohe didn't understand at all, maybe Yunnan's words, Tang Bohe couldn't understand a word. The sound of these words lasted for a long time, and just when Tang Bohe was about to lose patience, another male voice with a strange accent appeared: "We can sell you the poison, but the antidote can only be given one." ”
The woman with a Beijing accent said, "Yes, one will be one." ”
The man with a strange accent added, "However, the price cannot be the price mentioned before, it must be doubled again, to a hundred taels of gold." "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, about one tael of gold was exchanged for five taels of silver.
There was no sound in the listening tube for a while, and then the woman with a capital accent said, "Yes, one hundred taels is one hundred taels." ”
The male voice with an odd accent continued, "We also want you to exchange all the gold for something, and we don't want gold; You're also going to get things to Yunnan or Guangxi. ”
The woman with a Suzhou accent said angrily: "You don't want to get an inch, the price we give you is already very high, and you still ask for so many things about this and that." It's too much! ”
A male voice with a strange accent reappeared: "We have so many requests, and we won't add more, but if you don't agree, then that's it." ”
The woman with a capital accent gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, we all accept it." But things can be bought now, but they won't be able to reach Yunnan for a while, and I want you to give us the poison and antidote now. ”
A male voice with a strange accent: "That's not good, you Han people are so cunning that you can't be trusted; You have to buy everything and get lucky, and our men will follow you before I can give you the poison. ”
"Okay, that's a deal. Go back first. Leave the list of things you want, and we have to discuss them. ”
"Alright, let's go first." Then there was a noise, and I thought it was the three Yunnan people who had left.
Next, Tang Bohe was about to stop eavesdropping, but the first thing he heard next surprised him.
