Chapter 497: Amber Wine Cup
On the ferry port north of the city, three ferrymen were chatting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info suddenly saw a large group of horses rushing out of the city, the one in front was the young man who jumped into the river not long ago, and a team of Tang Army horses in the back were chasing closely. The white-robed young man went out of the city, and the red horse ran faster and faster, and when he reached the river, he jumped over the river again, but when he reached the river, he did not leave, and turned to look at the pursuers.
The man in the lead shouted to the ferryman, "Hurry up, I'll wait for the past, you are the only one who is chasing the thief by mistake!" The three boats rowed at once, and they jumped up with men and horses, and the leader rushed to the opposite shore in the boat in the middle of the river and shouted, "Don't go!" ā
Where would Gao Jun be so obedient, seeing that the other six people came ashore, he urged the horse to run away again, and did not run too fast, leading these pursuers to open a long line, and came towards Yazhou City.
At the gate of the Yazhou Assassin's Mansion, the sergeants who guarded the door recognized this Xizhou Gaobi, and did not stop him, and let him fly into the mansion. Gao Jun wanted to tease them, but he didn't know where to hide, so he tied the charcoal fire under the porch, turned around and ran back.
Li Jueling, the second wife of Li Da Thorn Shi, was enjoying the flowers in the garden in the backyard accompanied by her maid. After Li Shen went to Langzhou, because of the presence of the brother she had just recognized in Xizhou, Mrs. Li did not show discomfort, and felt more confident than when her brother was there.
She was in the garden, but she thought about Gao Jun in her heart, and secretly said why didn't he see a shadow for a day, could it be that he had returned to Xizhou? I had the heart to go to the front hall to ask, but I felt that it was inappropriate. was disturbing, and saw a figure flickering, and a person turned from the front yard, who was his brother-in-law.
Gao Jun said to her, "Sister, what kind of hiding place do you have here?" My brother had to take shelter. ā
For some reason, Mrs. Li saw that he was in a hurry, and she didn't have time to ask, so she took him by the hand and said, "Brother, come with me." They bypassed the flower path, went straight to the back, turned a round, and then went to the house of Rashinei. Gao Jun said, "Sister, it's not good to hide me in your house, I'm afraid I won't be able to say it clearly!" ā
Li Jueling smiled and said, "Here." "It turned out to be a storage room on the left. When they entered, Li Jueling pointed to a square wooden doorway on the ground, "Go down." ā
Gao Jun opened the wooden door, and a cool smell of wine wafted out. He walked down the steps, and the wooden door above him was closed by Madame Lee. Gao Jun went down to the inside, and found that it was a well-built wine cellar, with walls made of ashlar stones, rows of wine jars against the wall, large and small, and two oak barrels of the same size standing in the corner.
There are no lamps and candles in the cellar, but a round hole is made in the roof of the cellar a short distance away, and I don't know where it leads to the ground, and the light is poured in. Behind the corner of the cellar sat a delicate round table, on which was neatly arranged a set of gold wine utensils, and an amber wine glass, which shone under the pillar of light that sprinkled overhead.
Gao Jun sat down at the table, opened the lid of the gin jug to smell, the wine was fragrant, Gao Beijia ignored the search that was already everywhere outside, smiled and filled the amber glass, and held it up.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li were not in the same yard, but today I happened to want to come to see the state of the Li family's sister after Li Shen left. She moved over and saw Li Jueling take Gao Beijia's hand and enter the storage room from a distance. Her heart moved, and she secretly said that you hooked up so fast! She hides in the shadows, to see what is going on. I didn't want to go so much that Li Jueling walked out alone and went forward again.
Mrs. Wang was disappointed, stopped for a while and followed Li Jueling's footsteps to the front yard, seeing that she was looking at the flowers with the maid casually, Mrs. Wang asked with a smile, "Sister is so interested!" ā
Mrs. Li didn't speak, Li Daojue and Wang Heng led people to the back, Li Daojue saw that the two ladies were there, so he asked, "Two ladies, have you ever seen a thief?" ā
Mrs. Li shook her head and said that she didn't see it, and the leader of the Tang Army who was chasing after An Guozhen said to Wang Heng, "Master Sima, I obviously saw him turn into the backyard, don't be careless!" ā
Mrs. Wang understood a little in her heart, and said secretly, "Could it be that Xizhou didn't drive and committed something?" She said to the sister of the Li family, "Sister, when my sister came over, I saw two people entering the wine cellar, could it be that they are thieves?" Li Jueling was taken aback, "Sister didn't?" What a thing! ā
Wang Heng listened and said to Li Daojue, "My lord, for the sake of safety, let's go and have a look." ā
Li Daojue is a good drinker, and he has built a wine cellar for himself, which stores all kinds of fine wines from Tiannan and Haibei. When he was fine, he went in and took a few bites. When he heard that there were people in the cellar, he was afraid that he would kill the wine, so he hurriedly asked someone to go down to see it, and after a while, the "drunk" master was put out, and he was still holding the amber wine glass in his hand.
Li Daojue was stunned for a moment, looked at the second lady Li Jueling, and then laughed, "Wonderful, really wonderful!" Madam, you thought of me going ahead," said Mrs. Wang, too, "and the sister gave her long-hidden wine to her brother to drink, but she hid it from all of us. ā
Tang Jiang said suspiciously, "Lord Thorn Shi...... He...... He's ......"
Wang Heng said to him, "This is the Beijia of Xizhou, the chief pastor of the Tianshan Pastoral Inspector, the Silk Road Supervisor, and the righteous brother of Mrs. Li, Lord Gao, could it be him?" Tang Jiang was stunned for a moment, shook his head again and again, and said, "No, isn't it...... Where will it be tall adults! ā
Mrs. Li said, "My lord, except for my brother in the backyard who said he wanted to drink before coming, there is no one else, you don't blame me for bringing him here, right?" Li Daojue stepped forward and grabbed Gao Jun's hand and said, "I have something to discuss with you, and I can't find you for a day, it turns out that I got here to steal my wine!" ā
Mrs. Wang said secretly, "I'm afraid it's good to just steal your wine!" ā
Gao Jun waved his hand and said, "I...... I can...... Discuss something big! Only a few kinds of wine are ...... Call me drunk! Li Daojue said, "Ahem, how can this wine be mixed and drunk!" ā
Gao Bei drove and lay in the Thorn Mansion for a long time before he "sobered up". The Tang army that had caught the thieves had already retreated, and they looked at the familiar red horse inside the gate of the Assassin's Mansion and didn't dare to say anything.
Li Daojue had been waiting outside, and when he saw that he was not coming with him, he immediately came over to discuss. He said to Gao Jun, "Uncle, there is something I don't know how to deal with, you give me an idea." ā
In the morning, Jiannan Province came overnight again, and this time he didn't even mention the matter of the selection of Xichuan Yuan, but conveyed the meaning of Shangfeng with some embarrassment - due to the tension of the branch, the states of Jiannan Province must live a tight life, and Qiongzhou, Meizhou, Yazhou, and other state capitals of Jiannan Province have been reduced by 30% of their official expenditures for 19 years.
Gao Jun asked, "That's all?" ā
Li Daojue said, "These are still few? There are not many places in my Yazhou to make money, and there are many places to make money, and the three achievements make me worried! "There is only one copper mine and two salt wells in Yazhou, and the others only rely on land rent, so Yazhou can't even compare with Meizhou and Qiongzhou!
Wang Heng is not an outsider, and he is also present at this time. He said to Li Daojue, "My lord, Rongjing County has come to report that today when the county was collecting land rent, I encountered a person of unknown origin who disturbed the county warehouse, smashed the grain bucket, injured the warehouse servant, and affected the collection of autumn grain!" ā
Li Daojue said, "Lord Gao, look at it, the more thirsty you are, the more salt you stuff," and said to Wang Heng, "You go and ask Rongjing County to quickly investigate and handle this case, and you will definitely catch this person and deal with it strictly." Wang Heng took the order.
Gao Jun thought for a while and asked him, "Didn't Qiongzhou and Meizhou come to complain?" Li Daojue shook his head, "This time they are breathless." Even I am very strange, Jiannan Dao has never seemed to be nothing, why is there a different thing these days, which tendon is wrong. ā
Gao Jun said, "Let's go to the wine cellar, you accompany me to drink, and I'll help you break it down." (To be continued.) )
