Chapter 566: Coercion and temptation, looking like a god
The hemp rope alley in the southeast corner of the chalk city is not long, one end is Chongwenmenli Street, and the other end is Magpie Alley. Although it is not far from the imperial city, because it is not far from the armor factory and the grassland, even if the Gongyuan is not far away, that is, the triennial rite examination will be lively for a while. Compared with those inferior people who have to go out to find work regardless of the cold winter or the scorching heat, the small courtyards on this street are inhabited by ordinary chalk surnames who are rich and peaceful, and they come and go
In the middle of the hemp rope alley, there is such a family living in a two-entry courtyard. The master in his early forties knows how to heal, it is said that there are more than a dozen acres of fertile land in the suburbs, and he has hired a few long-term laborers to cultivate, and he sometimes goes out to sit in the hall to consult the doctor, and he has sons and daughters, and he has also accepted a few apprentices, but his life is also good.
It's just that he always travels out for medical treatment on some days throughout the year, and not only his family, but also his neighbors are used to it. As soon as he came back that day, he sent some local products to his neighbors, and many people came to thank him for a while.
Seeing off these guests, the host Bai Ying took a turn in the front yard and checked the flowers and plants he had planted, and seeing that the growth was fine, he couldn't help but smile and rub a few neatly combed beards on his chin. At this time, someone crept up behind him and stood still.
"Huzi, sneaky and shrinking, do you have something to say?"
"Sir, what are we doing this trip ......" Yang Hu wanted to speak and stopped, and only coughed lightly after a while, "If this is to kill a traitor, I won't frown a hundred times, but that Wang Shouren is a famous man praised by everyone in the market, and this time he was expelled because of the impeachment of the traitor, and we almost lost his life......
"You also said that it was almost true, did the other person die?" Bai Ying looked intently at the flowers in the flower pot, and said without looking back, "Since you are in the green forest road, you should know that whether you are a good official or a greedy official, for those of us who believe in chalk, we all have only one purpose, that is, to kill them all." Since the Buddha Mother Incident in the Yongle period, how many years have we not been able to survive? If only our remaining hole cards are still revealed, then the foundation of the north will be completely destroyed in a blink of an eye. Therefore, the silver of one or two thousand may be very important to your stockade, but I still don't look down on it, I am afraid that the man will let us report to the official if we do not succeed, and attract the army of the court, that is my sin! ”
"It turns out that Mr. is scruples about this!"
Yang Hu is a rough person, right is right or wrong, at this moment, his head was very entangled, until the last sentence suddenly realized, he clenched his fists for a while and said in a rough voice: "That is the case, when the guy came to deliver the final payment, I found two people to do him!" Mr. Dare Chalk and our brothers, I can't spare him! ”
"That's what you do!" Bai Ying turned around and said angrily and funny, "This is not a fierce fight between you bandits and chalk bandits, just fight to the death, since they can know that I am the Holy Lord, and know that you are half of my chalk brother, won't there be any other backhand?" Besides, what's the use of killing a pawn! ”
Seeing that Yang Hu's face turned red, Bai Ying didn't say anything more, and walked into the house with Shi Shiran behind her back. Yang Hu didn't care at first, but when he heard the clicking sound, he was immediately taken aback, and when he looked at Bai Ying's feet, he saw several green bricks cracking in response. Thinking that many brothers below thought that Bai Ying was just a doctor with superb medical skills, he couldn't help but shake his head.
He looks stronger and burlier than Bai Ying, but he really wants to fight, and the three of them are not opponents!
Although he was indifferent in front of Yang Hu just now, it can be said from the depths that the anger in Bai Ying's heart was no less than that of Yang Hu. He took over the position of the Holy Lord from his master, but the White Lotus Sect collapsed after Yongren Xuan, although the Civil Revolution later caused chaos in the chalk court for a while, but no matter which emperor was in charge, he has always spared no effort to suppress the White Lotus Sect. Even if the emperor was addicted to magic and ignored political affairs during the Chenghua period, he had always paid special attention to their missionary work regardless of the east and west factories, so after so many years, although the chalk disciples gathered a lot, they were far from becoming a climate. …,
However, now it is easy to look forward to the great opportunity for the young emperor to ascend the throne and the government is in turmoil, but someone has peeked through his movements, and even the foundation of Yang Hu's lineage has been clearly felt! It must be known that the White Lotus Sect has never been monolithic, and there are many people who are against him, the Holy Lord, and even eyeing him, and the news is exposed, not to mention the chalk court, maybe other people in the sect will also have different hearts, and the idea of killing chalk people with a knife will not do it! It must be known that his wife and children are all in Jingcha City, and he has never known that he is the Holy Lord of the White Lotus Sect that the Ming Court has always guarded the most jealous of!
wrote several forbearances on the paper in a row, and Bai Ying barely calmed down, but she sat behind the bookcase and pondered the origin of this scene over and over again. Because the owner instructed that he should coincidentally let the ship of the Xing'an Bo Mansion crash into this incident to save people, he couldn't help but think of the famous Pingbei Bo Xu Xun first, but because of this coincidence, he thought about it again, but felt that there was something else strange.
Looking at this method, it seems that there is a chalky intention to make that Pingbei Bo and the celebrant master Liu Jin make trouble, could it be that someone is planning to fight with the snipe and the clam and make the fisherman profit?
"Sir, sir!"
Bai Ying was muttering, when she suddenly heard a voice outside, and when she looked up, it was Yang Hu who rushed into the room in a hurry. Seeing this man's pale face, he immediately asked in a deep voice, "What, what's wrong?" ”
"It's coming!" Yang Hu took a deep breath, and then continued, "The person who delivered the silver is here, and he doesn't look like the errand runner before, he is a scholar with some style!" Sir, do you want to take advantage of this? He put his hand on his neck, made a crisp and neat gesture, and his face was a little hideous, "If not, it's good to talk about the conditions if you detain someone!" ”
"Don't startle the snake, don't forget that this is Jingcha City, if he has something to do with some dignitaries, do you think we can get out safely?" Bai Ying Huoran stood up and shouted at Yang Hu, "You let your brothers go to the side room and don't come out, don't come out without my orders!" Remember, this is the Chalk City, not your stockade! ”
Although he was still a little unconvinced, Yang Hu's life was saved by Bai Ying, and it was also Bai Ying's guidance that he could have today's scenery in the green forest, so he naturally didn't want to disobey, so he immediately went out in a muffled voice. And Bai Ying rearranged her clothes, and then she left the house. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw at a glance the middle-aged scholar standing in the courtyard looking around curiously, with a leisurely look on his face, and behind him stood an old servant who was fifty or sixty years old, carrying a bulging burden in his hand.
"May I ask who this minister is......"
"Hello Mr. Bai." The middle-aged scholar arched his hand with a smile, and then said, "The things entrusted to me before were originally very abrupt, but I didn't expect Mr. Bai to be able to do it so properly, it really helped me a lot." Therefore, I specially prepared a thin gift today to personally go to the gate to thank you, and I also asked Mr. Bai to forgive the rudeness of the people who came to the door before.
Thinking of the previous person's strong and chalky attitude to reveal his identity, and arrogantly forcing him and Yang Hu to do such a thing, and then comparing with the middle-aged scholar who is now smiling and polite, Bai Ying saw her youngest son curiously come out to see the excitement, and couldn't help but glance at the past angrily, and when he saw the person, he immediately shrank his head and fled back to the inner courtyard, he said lightly: "It's not lenient, since it's a business, naturally one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, the situation is stronger than people, and I have nothing to say." ”
"If Mr. Bai says so, I will be ashamed of myself." The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly, and then said meaningfully, "However, Mr. Bai is planning to talk to me in the courtyard like this?" ”
"It's my negligence, it's just that the distinguished guest came from afar and knows everything about my Bai Ying, but I don't know the name and surname of the distinguished guest, and there seems to be no such treatment between the host and guest in the world, right?" …,
"The name and surname of this thing, if I want, I can have a hundred anytime and anywhere, since Mr. Bai is so persistent, just call me Mr. Er."
"Since there are two gentlemen, is there a big gentleman behind the honorable driver?"
Mr. Two was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "It is worthy of Mr. Bai, and his eyes are as wise as a torch." There is no second gentleman, but there is one big treasurer. So you can finally come into the house and talk, right? ”
Bai Ying saw that this person was always smiling, he was chalky and angry, but the person was still fine, he could only let the person into the room with a calm face. Seeing that the old servant followed the second gentleman into the house, when the second gentleman took a seat, this person was still standing motionless next to the master like a clay carved wooden sculpture, he glanced at it and couldn't see through the depths, so he simply withdrew his gaze and said slowly: "The matter has been done, since the second gentleman is here, settle the remaining accounts, and we will settle the two accounts." ”
"Eh, it is said that trading is not benevolent and righteous, and now that we have made a deal, why should Mr. Bai be so ruthless?" Seeing Bai Ying's eyes staring, Mr. Er smiled and gestured to the old servant next to him, and when he walked to Bai Ying with his baggage, he raised his hand and said, "This is the five hundred taels of silver that I said before, and in addition, because Mr. Bai did a really beautiful job this time, the other five hundred taels belonged to Mr. Xie Bai." ”
Bai Ying had been paying attention to the old servant before, seeing that he was carrying things casually with one hand, his shoulders were high, if he hadn't said it bluntly at this time, it would have been almost hard to believe that the heavy bag of things was more than sixty catties of silver. Even if he had originally flashed the idea of letting Yang Hu leave people behind to ask questions, he could only dispel it for the time being at this moment, but when he reached out to pick it up, he had a chalky temptation, and as soon as he grabbed the burden, he suddenly grabbed his hand down and sank, and the sudden increase in force was more than a hundred catties.
However, the old servant did not seem to be aware of it at all, one hand did not tremble, and he still carried the burden steadily, and bent down respectfully with his face.
"Mr. Bai, please!"
Bai Ying only felt that she was like a middle hand dragging a thousand catties of boulder, and she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly gave birth to a little bit of energy, and added five points of strength for a while. At this time, the old servant on the opposite side finally showed a somewhat solemn expression, and the hand carrying the burden was obliquely blocked, seeing Bai Ying slightly raised his head and toes and kicked forward suddenly, he stepped on it again, and the two feet suddenly collided together, making a sound like a clash of gold and stone, and then the burden fell steadily into Bai Ying's hands.
"Second sir, your servant is really skilled!"
"Hahahaha, where is it, that is, there is a bit of rough strength!" Seeing that Bai Ying took the burden and unwound the blue cloth wrapper in front of him, opened the wooden box inside, and carefully inspected the silver ingots in it, Mr. Er said with a smile, "All in all, once raw and twice ripe, if there is anything in the future, I am afraid that Mr. Bai will be troubled." However, Mr. Bai, don't worry, the money will only be more generous than this time, and you don't have to worry about what we will say. It must be known that this matter cannot be seen in the light, and the head of the family is not a short-sighted person. There is one thing I have to remind Mr. Bai, we are friends and not enemies, but now the foolish people of Jingcha City are being bewitched, and many of them believe in the Wuji Holy Ancestor in the mouth of Master Luo, and in the long run, it will inevitably be detrimental to the Holy Sect. ”
Hearing that the other party had this time was not enough, and he still planned to find him again next time, Bai Ying was furious for a while. However, when he heard the word head of the family and heard the other party mention Luo Qing, he unconsciously took a deep breath to calm the anger in his chest, and then said lightly: "Don't worry about Mr. Laoer, I have my own opinions on this matter." Someone, send off! ”
With this sound, Yang Hu rushed into the door. Seeing that Bai Ying gave a slightly calm look, even if he was anxious, he could only resist his anger and make a gesture of please. Sending the master and servant outside, when he saw the two gentlemen bending down to get into the car, he couldn't help but stab: "Please be careful when driving on the road in the future, don't accidentally break the wheel, or startle the horse!" ”
"Oh, thank you for the reminder!" The second gentleman turned his head abruptly and said with a smile, "Please also ask Yang Da to be careful in the future, the Chalk Court seems to be first-class to the mountain bandits and thieves in the southern part of Jinan, and has some intention of rectification." ”
When the second gentleman got into the carriage, the old servant jumped into the coachman's position without saying a word, and with a wave of his whip, the carriage immediately moved forward steadily. Mr. Er opened the curtains, and when he saw Yang Hu standing there gritting his teeth, he couldn't help but shake his head and said with a dumb smile: "A vulgar man, a reckless man, it is very easy to handle, and there is no need to be afraid." ”
"Sir, there is someone watching behind, do you want to get rid of it?"
"After turning from Chongwenmenli Street to Yangzhou Hutong, the people are solved, remember not to kill people!"
When the carriage drove out of a north-south alley near the Zhizhifang grassland in Yangzhou Hutong, a figure hanging behind the carriage disappeared at some point. The carriage went around in a circle, but it went out of the city through Chongwen Gate. Not long after turning to the east, the carriage stopped, and Mr. 2 only heard the old servant outside call out respectfully: "The big shopkeeper." ”
"Did you happen to be passing by, or are you waiting for me here?" Mr. Two opened the curtain of the car, and saw that a middle-aged man wearing an iron mask in a small sedan car on the opposite side stepped forward to board the car without saying a word, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why, it's just such a trivial matter, are you still worried that I will not be able to do it in person?" That Bai Ying is known as the White Lotus Holy Lord, but she is indecisive and has no atmosphere. If I were him, I would have killed Luo Qing before he became a climate, and there would still be the current trend of fighting against the court? ”
"Bai Ying is nothing remarkable, but after all, he is the nominal co-owner of the White Lotus, and the villages and green forest roads in the southern part of Jinan often believe in Michael, which really angers him, and it is not good for the chalk." Gently supporting the iron face on his face, Xu Bian said in a deep voice, "I came to Jingcha City, originally to go to the north, but I learned that this is the situation in Jingcha City, so I have to stay for a few days. Mr. Luo, you have always had no last resort, according to you, now that the situation is developing, who will win and who will lose? ”
"Well...... this"
Mr. Luo, who has countless identities, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled hesitantly: "Don't say it, this problem is really a bit tricky." Xu Xun gave me too many surprises, and he had one person after another at hand, and now his momentum is not only not lost to Liu Jin, but slightly better, what is even more rare is that he can bewitch several top people in the clear stream with clever words, I have to say that this method is really powerful. However, Liu Jin has been in the palace for a long time after all, and as long as the Son of Heaven is there, he can stand. In addition to Liu Yu, who has just taken over as the secretary of the Ministry of War, I heard that Cao Yuan, the left of the Inspectorate, also took it. The treacherous people in the court and China all know that the door of the Liu family is easier than the Xu family, and the people in the Qingliu may not be willing to attach themselves to Xu, so the two are evenly matched. ”
I knew that he was optimistic about the person who was deceived from Jiao Fang's mansion, who would have thought that he would be run away without paying attention!
"It's Mr. Luo, I can see it better than we all can." Xu Bian smiled slightly, and then said thoughtfully, "However, His Highness's affairs can really only be taken to Liu Jin, after all, Nanchang is far away in Jiangxi, and most of the people in Jingcha City don't care, and Xu Xun is a Jinlingzi, Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua come and go to and from the door, if Lin Jun who is Ding Wei and guards the system is recruited again, it will not be so easy for His Highness to seek revenge and guard." This matter has to be done as soon as possible, so Mr. Luo has to work hard. ”…,
The so-called hard work is nothing more than groveling and flattery, but this is easy for Mr. Luo. The two discussed in the car for a while, and Xu Bian got out of the car and returned to his sedan chair, and after a while, the small sedan chair carried by the two disappeared into the alley. It was only at this time that Mr. Luo lowered the curtain and said casually: "He has always only been concerned about making chalk money and ignoring foreign affairs, but now he has come to guide me." It is said that I am incarnated into tens of millions, but no one has ever figured out his origin, if I were His Royal Highness, I would not believe such a person! ”
"Sir's wisdom is overwhelming, the big shopkeeper has always only been in charge of money, so naturally he can't compare to you. As for trust, of course, Your Highness also trusts you more. ”
"That's right."
As the carriage started again, it turned out of the alley after a while, and not long after, the two-person sedan chair that had just disappeared turned out of a nearby alley and stopped at the position just now. Xu Bian opened the sedan curtain and silently stared at it for a while, until two black shadows came out of the alley and stood in front of the sedan chair respectfully, he whispered: "Keep an eye on Mr. Luo, these things outside are all negotiated by him, be sure to pay attention to everyone he handed over." If anything is wrong, do as Your Highness has commanded. ”
"Yes!"
When the people left, Xu Bian put down the sedan curtain and signaled to go, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and squinted his eyes. After a long time, he let out a long sigh of relief, and a smile of joy appeared on his face.
He has paid so much price, not only has his son become someone else's, but he has ruined this face, and he has endured it for so many years, and now he is finally not far from his long-cherished wish! Although he also thought of other methods, it turned out that only by cutting the grass and eradicating the root cause could he never stop the trouble, so he could only bury those impulses deep in his heart. Fortunately, he also gave birth to a smart and clever son, and his daughter-in-law already has a chalk, so he has no worries!
He has done so many good deeds to squander money, and what is the result? There is only chalk power in this world, there is no chalk justice, as long as he takes revenge, no matter how much the flood in this world is monstrous!
There was a festive atmosphere in the Xing'an Bo Mansion. After Xu Liang and Shen Yue returned together yesterday, the news of Shen Yue's joy spread. However, after a night's work, not to mention that everyone in the house knew about it, there were also many officials and officials outside who got the news, and there were not a few people who flocked to congratulate and give gifts. In contrast, those who really had a deep friendship with the Xu family did not react so quickly, only Tang Yin asked his wife to take his daughter to send Shen Yue a painting of Guanyin painted by himself.
At this time, Shen Yue sat there with Taosheng in her arms, and smiled at Shen Jiuniang: "Mr. Tang and sister-in-law are so polite, if you want me to say, it is all the blessings brought by Taosheng, and even the day I happened to find that people could diagnose the pulse, thanks to her."
"Where, it is the lady herself who is blessed. Speaking of that day, I am still very scared, if it really caused her to have a tire......
"Isn't that good? Besides, if it weren't for her bump, maybe I would still be confused! Shen Yue was afraid as she spoke, secretly thinking that Mrs. Wei Guo was right at that time, since the godmother was abducted by the monk, she didn't have a mother by her side, and some things were wishful and ignorant and didn't have a reminder, otherwise how could it take so long to find out?
Seeing Taosheng laughing and jumping around Shen Yue, knowing that this was the temper that the little girl developed when she was in Nanjing, Shen Jiuniang couldn't help but be a little frightened, but seeing Shen Yue smiling and pulling Taosheng to sit on the soft couch together, she asked her if she was used to it when she arrived in Beijing, and asked her if she wanted to go home.
Although the seclusion with Tang Yin in Taohuawu was good, but the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, Tang Yin, who had lost his fame, could even be bullied by a small official. It's not impossible to go back now, but when Pingbeibo is employed, the husband can't do anything else, but it is still possible to hand over to a scholar like Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua. When the husband assists this Pingbei uncle to succeed, they will go back to Taohuawu, and then it will be the real peace and joy for a lifetime. …,
Shen Yue looked at the little Taosheng who had inherited her mother's delicacy and her father's handsome eyes, and couldn't help but think of whether the baby in her belly would be a daughter or a son. Although it is a big family, everyone is looking forward to having a son first, but last night Xu Xun kept talking about wanting to have a daughter first, and in the future, the eldest sister and godbrother, his father can save some worry, and she is also a little moved when she looks at Taosheng now. Just as she was hesitating, Ruyi suddenly rushed in quickly.
"Young grandma, big joy!" If Shen Jiuniang looked at it in surprise, she woke up and realized that there were still others, so she hurriedly rushed to Shen Yue's side and bent down and said, "Mother Li sent someone to report the good news, she gave birth to a big fat boy!" ”
"Ahh Shen Yue stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "Godmother was born so soon?" What about people, where are people? ”
Ruyi knew that Shen Yue Zhun Bao had forgotten that Li Qingniang had now become the lady of the Zhong family, and only after coughing dryly did he say: "After the reward of the good news, I left, saying that I would definitely set up a wine banquet to invite the young grandmother after the full moon!" ”
Although Shen Yue understood it at once, after all, she had already regarded Li Qingniang as her own chalk mother, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but stand up after all: "What full moon...... Now you have to think about what to give...... Shen Niangzi, come and help me think of an idea, what should I give this congratulations to Zhang?
