418 Yan Qing bravely spread the news
There's an old saying that no book is made without coincidence. Yan Qing occasionally learned from Master Li that Qin Hui was not at ease and wanted to kill Hu Sanniang and the others.
How did Master Li get such important news? It was also obtained by an extremely fortuitous chance. Master Li has a very good sister named Master You, who is two years younger than Master Li. The two were inseparable when they were in the nunnery, and Master Li took care of this little sister.
Later, both of them lived in the Qinglou. Master Li quickly became popular, but Master You couldn't become popular. It was Master Li who helped, so that she got to know many dignitaries, one of whom was Qin Hui. Later, You Shishi and Qin Hui got along, although they didn't marry her, they still raised her as an outer room.
Now Qin Hui has built a villa on the edge of the West Lake, and the golden house of You Shishi is hidden. Qin Hui's upright wife is called Wang Bee, and she knows that Qin Hui is raising women outside, so she also opens one eye and closes one eye. As long as she doesn't get it to the house, she doesn't bother to care.
You Shishi is also used to being casual, and he doesn't want to enter the Qin Mansion, so he is free on the edge of the West Lake. Every once in a while, Qin Hui would come to You Shishi for a tryst, leave with a shot, and occasionally spend the night.
When Master You has nothing to do, he often sits on a painting boat with Master Li, drinking tea, chatting, and singing songs on the West Lake.
On this day, the sky was clear, the West Lake was rippling, and a painting boat was floating on the lake. Master Li and Master You You sipped tea while watching the scenery.
"Yu'er, have you had any news lately?" Master Li asked casually.
"Sister Li, there is no news, but there are a few 'old news'." Master You took a sip of tea and said.
"It's okay to be idle, let's hear it."
Master You said a few things, which are indeed "old news".
"Recently, how often has Lao Qin come?" Master Li asked with concern.
"He's always busy, busy!" Master You said with a little dissatisfaction.
"What are you busy with?"
"It's all upside down, and I don't bother to ask. - I heard that someone went to the city of the Five Kingdoms and rescued two people back. ”
"Is it the Second Sage?"
"No, it's not easy to save the two saints! It was like their son. ”
"There are a lot of Hui Zong'er's sons, and I can't remember their names; Qinzong did not have many sons, and he was appointed as the crown prince called Zhao Chen. ”
"It seems that it is Zhao Chen who rescued him."
Master Li's heart moved, and he felt that those who dared to go to the Five Kingdoms City to save people could only Hu Sanniang. She wanted to hear some news from Master You.
"Yue Fei must have sent someone to save him. He always remembered, 'Jing Kang is ashamed, like snow; The courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed!'" Master Li said this deliberately.
"I heard Lao Qin say, it's really not, it seems that a woman took the lead. - What woman would have such courage!? I think it's! Master You shook his head.
"This time, the emperor and your old Qin will be happy, the emperor's younger brother and nephew have been rescued."
"On the contrary, Lao Qin coughed and sighed, and he didn't have the energy to do that with me. I'll just say to him, you don't care about royal affairs; He said I had long hair and short vision. After saving the two children, His Majesty's position was unstable. It's all, and I don't like to hear it. - Sister Li, you have more experience than me, how can you make a man's little brother last longer? ”
"Little hoof, you're only so experienced!" Master Li scolded with a smile, but still passed on some experience.
Master Li was very uneasy when she returned home, she knew that Qin Hui was pulling all kinds of, and it might not be good for Hu Sanniang. waited until the evening before Yan Qing came back and immediately told her husband the news she had gotten.
When Yan Qing heard this, she also felt a little bad. The next day, I inquired about the news in many ways and learned that Hu Sanniang and they would come to Lin'an in the near future. Yan Qing discussed with Master Li that they had to pass on the news to Hu Sanniang so that they could take precautions.
"Let's talk to Brother Hu and them, right?!" Master Li reminded.
"No, the fewer people who know about it, the better! I'll take it myself. Yan Qing rubbed her hands and said.
"You don't know how they came?"
"There is no more convenient way to come to Lin'an by boat through the Grand Canal. - I bought a boat to go there. ”
"Xiao Yi, you have to be careful!"
"Lady, don't worry!"
Yan Qing took his wife in her arms, kissed her forehead, and set off.
When I came to the pier of Lin'an on the Grand Canal, I saw many officers and soldiers inspecting it. If you want to hire a ship to go north, you must go through the special approval of the household department, which has never been done in the past. When Yan Qing saw this scene, she felt even more abnormal, this matter was likely to be related to Hu Sanniang and them. If you go north on a big ship, you will not be free, and it will be especially difficult to send the news out.
Yan Qing rode a horse, left Lin'an, and went straight to Jiaxing. After arriving, I saw four relatively large official ships slowly heading north. Yan Qing rode forward again and came to Suzhou, preparing to hire a boat to go there. After inquiring, it is still not allowed to hire a boat to go north. Someone told him that it had been strictly controlled until Huai'an recently.
From Lin'an to Huai'an, it has to pass through Jiaxing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and other places. Qin Hui's subordinates are most likely to attack the waterway from Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, and Huai'an. Because, this section of the canal is often robbed by "water ghosts", and it is easy to fish in troubled waters.
Yan Qing thought that he had to hire a boat to go through the canal in Wuxi, and it was best to meet Hu Sanniang and them before rushing to Changzhou. Riding a horse, galloped all the way to the dock of the canal in Wuxi. However, it was still impossible to hire a ship. But you can't ride a horse anymore anyway, that will stagger.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Wuxi was also a relatively large city, and there were some "flower boats" "floating" in the canal, doing business selling jokes on the water. Yan Qing had an idea and got on a small flower boat. There was only one boatman, an old bustard, and a singing girl.
When the old bustard saw that the guests were overjoyed, he immediately accosted him, and Yan Qing expressed his willingness to listen to the music.
"Chunhong, cheer up and sing a few good tunes to this master! - Sir, your surname? The old bustard asked as he commanded.
"Don't have your surname Song." Yan Qing casually said her surname.
Chunhong sang while playing the piano, and the boat slowly rowed north. Yan Qing listened to the two tunes, and the boat turned back.
"Why don't you go north?" Yan Qing asked.
"Recently, there was an order from above not to cross the boundary of Wuxi, so I had no choice but to return." The old bustard said helplessly.
"I see."
"Master Song, how is my daughter singing?"
"Not bad!"
Yan Qing rewarded two taels of silver, and the old bustard and Chunhong smiled.
Especially Chunhong, seeing that Yan Qing was born with red lips and white teeth, blue eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he liked it a little, and he was afraid that he would leave early, so he said: "Master Song, since I like the songs sung by the little girl, I will sing a few more." ”
Yan Qing pretended to be contemplative for a long time and said, "I was going north to find a friend, since the ship can't go beyond Wuxi, I'll wait here!" Is this good, I want to charter a boat for three days, you can tell me a price. ”
When the old bustard heard it, he was so happy that someone would charter a boat.
"It's been a long time since anyone chartered a boat, this price is really hard to set, Master Song, how much can you pay?" The bustard knows the price well, but if she wants to get a few more, she will try it.
"I will give out five taels of gold a day, and this is an ingot, twenty taels of gold, you take it first, eat and drink it all. - Is it enough? Yan Qing happily took out twenty taels of gold.
"Enough, enough!" The old bustard accepted the gold, "Don't say it's eating and drinking, Song Ye can do whatever you want, Chunhong will accompany Song Ye well." ”
Chunhong's heart is blooming, and he has long wanted to take down Yanqing.
