Chapter 275: Buying Tea Sets
Not to mention Jiu Niang, even Murong Yanran felt that something was wrong, they didn't realize it later, but they were all focused on the safety of the situation, and they didn't think about anything else.
"But there doesn't seem to be a tunnel in this shop, right?" Jiuniang said.
"Not really, at least I haven't found out yet. So the whole thing is wrong, how should they know that there are more than 500 of us, so what are these 20 people doing in ambush here? And after we arrived, they didn't take the initiative to attack, but were blocked in the house, and then staged a suicide drama, which is not how the bitter meat plan was played. Besides, he frowned and smiled bitterly.
"You're a bad person, but you're still quite smart." Jiuniang thought about it and said.
"The aura of those masters suddenly disappeared, as if they had all disappeared all at once. I wondered about it. Murong Yanran said.
"Maybe it's really like the predecessors said, this was originally a trap, maybe they missed it somewhere? Abandoned the plan? Besides, when I looked at the sky, my eyes were very confused.
At this time, if he collected the troops and left, there should be no change, but he was not in a hurry to leave immediately, but wanted to see what else changed. He has always thought that what should come will always come, and he can't hide from it.
When I first arrived, the murderous aura that deliberately leaked here and the twenty or so corpses were all obvious bait, almost undisguised, and they were swallowed, but now I can't find where the other party's hook and fishing line are.
He was even more angry in his heart, someone dared to fish him on the streets of the capital, which was a deliberate insult to him, although the cost of this bait was very high. This also successfully piqued his curiosity, which was to meet this daring fisherman.
The street was closed, and people had to take a detour, but this time no one gathered at both ends to watch, and they all felt a strong murderous aura.
A few of the Shuntianfu catchers came to check, but they were left behind by the guards to help guard together, and a few of them smelled the blood inside, and their knees were a little weak with fright.
The search continued, and soon two more were found, and besides, I went to check it myself, but I didn't dare to go deeper.
"How come there are so many tunnels underground, and these people are not afraid of digging up the ground?" Besides, he wondered.
Murong Yanran had already told him something about the White Lotus Sect's fondness for digging tunnels underground, and he had also seen a lot of them in the Jinyiwei archives, but when he saw the tunnels with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
"It's nothing, they can dig tunnels in the desert, that's called a trick." Murong Yanran said with a smile.
Moreover, when he heard this, he knelt down completely.
The desert is full of quicksand, and often when the storm blows, the terrain will change greatly, the flat land will become sand dunes, and the sand dunes will become deep pits.
Besides, he was the only pedestrian on the street, and suddenly he saw a tea shop, and he went in to have a look.
When the shopkeeper and his men saw him come in, they all hurriedly stood up.
"My lord, when will your men find out?" The shopkeeper said with a sad face.
"Whenever you need to find out." Besides, the attitude is very good.
When the shopkeeper and his buddies heard this, they felt even more uncertain, so they could only nod frequently.
"There are so many shops on this street that are filled with White Lotus Sect bandits, and you don't see anything?" Besides, he asked with a smile.
The shopkeeper's face turned green: "My lord, we are all doing our own business, who has the leisure to take care of other things, I really haven't seen it, I haven't seen anything." ”
Besides, he didn't ask any questions, but looked at the rows of tea sets on the shelves.
"Which set of tea sets do adults like, and bring a few sets when you go." The shopkeeper was in a hurry, but his heart was about to bleed.
Being targeted by the people of the Jinyi Guard, it is impossible not to shed some blood, I just hope that this young adult will not have too much appetite.
If they knew that the owner in front of them was the stubborn owner who robbed the commercial street, it was estimated that they would faint directly.
"Show me those two sets of purple sand tea sets." Moreover, he pointed to two sets of tea sets.
The shopkeeper hurriedly brought the tea set to the counter with his own hands: "If the adults like it, take it away, and the villain will pack it up for the adults." ”
Besides, he smiled: "Shopkeeper, don't be afraid, I am optimistic that I will buy it, and I will not miss you a penny." ”
The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, of course the adult will not be short of money, the villain is wrong." ”
Besides, he picked up the teapot and the bowl and looked at it carefully, he was attracted by the tea sets inside, and he had nothing to do anyway, so he came in and looked at the tea sets.
At that time, the purple clay pot had not yet heated up, and the fashionable was still porcelain, in fact, high-end porcelain has never lost its value until later generations, but ultra-high-end porcelain will not enter the homes of ordinary people, and ordinary people think that the purple clay pot is more expensive.
"Adult, there are still Xuan kilns and Ding kilns here for villains, if you like it, you can take it away." The shopkeeper looked at the inside and outside carefully and thought that he wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail, so he ruthlessly took out the two sets of treasures of the town store, just to avoid disasters.
Besides, he smiled after taking a look: "You are all fakes, imitations." ”
The real Xuan kiln, Ding kiln and there are a few sets at home, all of which are purchased at a high price, and the tea set rewarded by the emperor has a set of antiques from the Xuanhe period of the Song Dynasty, which is a sky-high price, and he is just put it on the bookshelf to watch, and he is not willing to use it to make tea.
After looking at it for a while, he selected two sets of purple sand tea sets with simple shapes and unique charms, and then called Ji Chang to pay the silver according to the price on the shelf.
"My lord, how dare I ask for your money, it's the honor of the villain if the adult likes it." Where does the shopkeeper dare to take the money?
"If you accept it, of course I have to pay for your things, otherwise it won't be blackmail."
Ji Chang said: "You just accept it, we adults are not the kind of people you think." ”
The shopkeeper looked at the guards outside the door, a little dizzy, and had to accept the silver tremblingly.
When he was packing, Jiu Niang came in, and when she saw his leisurely appearance, she asked very strangely, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Shopping." Besides, he laughed.
"Your heart is still really big, everyone else is busy, and you still have the leisure to shop." Jiuniang also took it.
"Of course I have the leisure to do those things, and I don't have to do those things."
At this time, a guard came to report that Li Baihua, the commander of the Nine Gates, and Yin of Shuntian Mansion had arrived.
Besides, when he hurriedly went out, Ji Chang followed behind him with two boxes of purple clay pots.
Li Baihua rode a horse, surrounded by many guards, Shuntian Mansion Yin came in a sedan chair, and the eight-lift sedan chair was parked on the street, surrounded by more than a dozen catchers and many officials.
"Besides, my lord is really busy with official business, what are you busy with?" Li Baihua's face was gloomy and about to drip.
Besides, such a toss is also slapping him in the face, and if something really happens, he will also be hung up.
"I'm not busy, I'm very idle, and all official business is done by people below, and I don't understand. The two adults also know that I am a literati, and I am still good at writing, painting and painting, but I am not good at fighting and killing. I just stopped by to buy a tea set. "And very modestly.
"Buying a tea set?" Shuntianfu Yin said with a smile.
"Yes, I don't have any hobbies, but I recently fell in love with the purple sand tea set, and I happened to see two sets. Do the two adults have this hobby, I will buy two sets for the adults. He said with a smile on his face.
The rattle that Shuntianfu Yin shook his head was similar: "I don't have this hobby, but the adults are really elegant people, we are all laymen, and we know that we are busy in one day." The words also contain resentment and sarcasm.
"What's more, what are your people busy with, are you going to occupy this street?" Li Baihua was even more annoyed.
He thought that he had taken a fancy to this area again, and wanted to repeat the old trick and occupy another street.
"Ji Chang, what are you all busy with, give a report to the two adults." Besides, he turned back.
"Yes, returning to the two adults, we protected the adults on the way back to the Yamen, passing by here, it turned out that there were White Lotus Sect bandits here preparing to ambush and assassinate the adults, we killed more than 20 White Lotus Sect bandits, and there are some fish that slipped through the net, and now we are investigating house by house." Ji Chang bowed down and made a report.
"What? White Lotus Sect bandits, it's impossible, right? Li Baihua said in surprise.
"Master Ji, is there really any evidence to prove that it is the White Lotus Sect bandit?" Shuntianfu Yin also looked solemn.
"Of course, the underground den where they gathered to worship Zhao Quan was discovered, and several tunnels leading to the underground were also discovered." Ji Changdao.
Li Baihua and Shuntian Mansion Yin are a little discolored, if this kind of thing really happens, it will be very serious, although it can't be said that it is the responsibility of the two of them, but it is always somewhat implicated.
Last time, they teamed up with Jinyiwei to capture three assassins, searched the whole city, tossed for a long time, and finally failed completely, and after a short time, they handed over the leaders of the three assassins and slapped them in the face.
After that incident, although the emperor did not issue a decree to reprimand, they also felt the emperor's dissatisfaction, which was a major event that affected their careers.
"If you're interested, come in and have a look." Besides, I invite sideways.
Li Baihua and Shuntian Mansion Yin glanced at each other, and then walked in, only bringing personal guards and arresters, and most of them stayed outside the cordon.
Seeing the messy shops and more than 20 dead bodies, they were also speechless with shock.
Almost all of these people committed suicide by taking poison, from this point of view, it is very in line with the style of the White Lotus Sect, and then I saw the underground secret room, as well as the statues of Zhao Quan and the Holy Maiden, this can be a decision, 100% sure that it is the White Lotus Sect's bandits, and the evidence is ironclad.
"But what do these people think, such a few people dare to ambush the adult's convoy, isn't this looking for death?" Shuncheon Fu Yin was puzzled.
"yes, I wonder too, it shouldn't be like this, maybe more people have escaped from the tunnels." Besides.
They looked at the tunnels that were like rivers and canals under a few more shops, and they also sighed.
"Are there any casualties among your men?" Li Baihua asked.
"Fortunately, thanks to the two adults, only two people were slightly injured." Besides, I don't want to do it.
Li Baihua and Yin Da of Shuntian Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, if the Jinyi guards suffered heavy casualties, this matter would be a big deal again, and they would be unlucky.
