Chapter 133: Something and Nothing
"Come like thunder to reap anger, and then like a river and sea condensing clear light." Yang Guang praised the case: "Good sentence, I didn't expect Yang Chong to have this ability." ”
Gongsun Huilan never returned to the palace so early, so as soon as she went back, Zhang Yuan asked the accompanying person to inquire clearly and reported to Empress Xiao; After Empress Xiao heard this, she asked Gongsun Huilan to write poems based on her memory, and immediately understood that Yang Chong was the speaker had no intention, but Gongsun Huilan had a heart. However, the eight-line poem is indeed well written, Empress Xiao is a knowledgeable person, and when she had dinner in the evening, she specially brought it to Emperor Yang Guang of Sui to appreciate, and Yang Guang couldn't help but sigh after reading it.
Empress Xiao said meaningfully: "After Gongsun Huilan returned to the palace, she locked herself in her room and didn't even eat dinner. ”
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui is a person who has come over, how could he not know what happened, Yang Chong's unintentional talent moved Gongsun Huilan, Empress Xiao regarded Gongsun Huilan as a daughter, Yang Guang had already lost the mind of kissing Fangze; It's just that Yang Chong has a marriage contract, and there are some things, even he, the emperor, can't do anything.
On the Yueguo Mansion, Hu Shitan also commented: "The last four sentences are done in one go, looking proud, but in the eyes of the whole poem, the word 'receiving', this word is used skillfully, the beauty dances a sword, just saying that it is like thunder, it will spoil the scenery, and Yang Chong can still think of 'like the river and the sea condensing the clear light', which is really wonderful, and this poem will definitely make Yang Chong famous." ”
In the Great Sui, reputation is an indispensable thing, Yang Chong has always been outside the scholar clan, and many things are difficult, in Kong Yingda's opinion, it is because Yang Chong does not value this thing. Kong Yingda and Yang Chong have been in a relationship for a long time, and they have long found that Yang Chong values family affection, wealth, etc., and will not make a fool of himself in order to fight for the name of a lifetime or leave a name in history; But today's poem will definitely make Yang Chong leave his name in poetry.
Kong Yingda was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "The thunder was angry, with a bang, and it stopped abruptly, although it was angry, it was not surprising." Yang Chong wrote well, and Brother Hu commented even better. The two looked at each other and laughed; Hu Kong and the others were both well-educated, and they had no doubt that this poem was copied by Yang Chong, because the two had never seen each other. Such a good sentence, no matter who wrote it, it would not be hidden, and Yang Chong did it at the scene of Gongsun Huilan's sword dance, and dozens of people can testify.
Yang Chong didn't care about his reputation, after a busy day in the Ministry of Rites, he came to the Lianghe Persian Mansion before the curfew, and Tianyu went to get the key in advance, died the seal, and changed the locks of all the doors of the Persian Mansion. When Yang Chong took Kou Jiuhui and the others into the compound, Jiang Fei and Tianyi had been turning around for a long time, and Tianyu said with a wry smile: "The official government is really clean, even the glass on the display shelf has been taken down, it is estimated that the number of the official government is wrong, it was leaked by various yamen, or in the hands of other Persians." ”
Yang Chong said indifferently: "If there is no time, it will be a hard night anyway." ”
Yang Chong walked carefully through the back of the Persian Mansion, Yang Chong started from the perspective of modern people, the focus of watching was on the relief and the ground, the relief was heavy, exquisite, gorgeous, Yang Chong's hand gently stroked on it, Yang Chong believed that Tygis had been in Chang'an for so long, there must be a secret room or something like that to keep secrets. The relief does not end until Tegis's bedroom, and then the servant's bedroom, warehouse, and storeroom behind are all white walls.
Yang Chong asked Wei Chigong and the others to throw all the sundries into the yard, knocking on the ground inch by inch, and there were no cracks or soft places; Tianqi inspected the roof inside, but also found nothing. Yang Chong was helpless, and asked Jiang Fei to knock on each wall to see if there was a hollow place, Jiang Fei said after knocking: "There is no hollow, but some places are very strange, the response sound of the same wall is different, although the difference is very small, it is different." ”
Yang Chong asked Jiang Fei to mark these places and summarize them on the floor plan of the house, and surprisingly found that they were concentrated in the three corners, Yang Chong walked through them again, and said excitedly: "I know, it's a sandwich wall." ”
After several certifications, Yang Chong touched a stone that could be turned by the window in the corner of the Taegis bedroom, which was a dead corner that could not be seen from anywhere, Yang Chong gently turned the stone into place, and the corner of the bedroom opened a one-meter-wide secret room, which contained seven boxes, five boxes with a total of 1,000 taels of gold, and the other two boxes were Zhang Heng's "Topographic Map" of the Han Dynasty and Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" of the Jin Dynasty. In the same way, the walls of the storeroom and the study were opened, one containing a dozen ledgers, and the other containing two boxes of silver coins and a Persian fish-scale gold armor.
Yang Chong looked at the time and said, "While the city gate is not closed, let's go to the other courtyard, Tianyi, you stay, and destroy these institutions tonight." Tomorrow morning, the carpenters and stonemasons will be brought in, and work will begin. ”
Jiang Fei also came in a carriage, so everyone moved things into the carriage, Wei Chigong and Bai Litao each drove a carriage, Kou Jiuhui and Huang Zhen followed behind on horseback, and went out of Chang'an City one after the other and came to the other courtyard. The courtyard has now taken shape, and when Wei Chigong came, there were also Wei Chili's younger brothers Wei Chi Chong, Wei Chi Xiao and Wei Chi Gong's brother-in-law Mei Zhan; More than a dozen families such as Huang Zhen, Bailitao, and Miao Yun also moved here, forming a small village outside the courtyard.
Along the road, the carriage reached the gate of the courtyard, and the plaque on the gate was Kong Yingda's handwriting "Shannan Courtyard", and the carriage went directly into a small courtyard where Yang Chong and Jiang Fei were alone, and the gold, silver coins and armor were collected into the treasury. Yang Chong asked Tianqi and Wang Fu to help him read the account book, although the numbers were not clear, but the contacts that Yang Chong was looking for were quickly excavated, and a long list was transcribed from officials to businessmen. Yang Chong said to Tianqi: "You are responsible for these account books, try to sort out everyone's true identity later, and check if there is anything weird." ”
There must be something strange in God's heart, otherwise what would Tygis do hiding these ledgers alone? Fortunately, Yang Chong translated the person's name, and the rest was to find out the real person according to clues such as homophony, Tian Qi knew a little Persian, and Yang Chong, a great translator, Tian Qi was determined; Yang Chong found Peng Moyun again and asked him to stay at the inn near the Lianghe Persian Mansion tomorrow to see if there were any suspects peeping into the workshop.
Jiang Fei asked why? Yang Chong replied: "If other things were to be returned, how could Tygis give up Zhang Heng's "Topographic Map" and Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", and so far he has not sent anyone to take it away, one is that he is dead, and the other is that he has been imprisoned. Once he heard that the workshop had moved in, Tygis would spit out the secret if he was not dead, and the people who imprisoned him would definitely send someone to investigate, and Liang Jiang and Yang Da would also inform them to pay attention to when they were in the Jade Mirror Workshop. ”
After the workshop moved in, there were workers living in it every day, and there were samurai who looked after the house, how could Tygis not be in a hurry, losing his books and wealth, he was a dead end, and he definitely hoped to get back one or two things. Peng Moyun immediately nodded, indicating that he understood, and went back to pack up his salute; Jiang Fei said: "I have an idea to sell the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" to Yuhaizhai. ”
Yang Chong smiled: "No, I don't know if it's true or not, I have to wait for the opportunity." If it is a coincidence, you can sell the current glass workshop to Yuhaizhai to see if you can exchange it for a good price. ”
