Chapter 111: Whistleblowing
Yang Shen smiled, but didn't say anything. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Three times the market price seems to be a high price, but in fact, this price is relatively fair at the time of the famine.
It is not that he is unwilling to sell grain and grass to the imperial court at a lower price to help the victims, but he must be responsible for the entire Yang family, and it is impossible to act willfully.
He lightly took a shallow peck from the teacup next to him, and Qian Duguan immediately said when he saw it: "If the prince has nothing else, the lower official will leave." ”
Yang Shen nodded: "Lord Qian, please." Leng Buding said again: "If you are free, you can come to the Yang Mansion from time to time to sit." ”
Qian Duguan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then glanced at Yang Shen deeply: "The words of the prince, Xia Guan remembered." ”
Qian Duguan was born in a small family, and his family chose to be attached to the royal family like the eldest grandson, and Qian Duguan was Li Shimin's confidant.
Yang Shen's words have a deep meaning.
......
At night, at the side gate of the Yang Mansion.
The owner of "Li Ji Pharmacy" said anxiously to the two guards at the door: "Two little brothers, there are 100,000 urgent matters under the country that I want to ask to see Grandpa Guo, please let me know." ”
The two guards glanced at each other, although they didn't think that the old man in front of him could have any urgent matters involving the head of the family, but they were not slack, and one said, "Wait a minute." He walked into the house.
It didn't take long for the guard to come, followed by the old housekeeper Yang Dancong, Yang Dancong looked at the old man and asked, "What's the urgent matter?" ”
The shopkeeper of Li Ji Pharmacy knew that it was impossible to see Yang Shen directly, so he immediately said: "This matter is very involved, and I must tell you alone." ”
Yang Dancong looked at him deeply, and he looked at the old housekeeper frankly, although there was anxiety in his eyes, but it was very clear.
Yang Dancong finally nodded and said, "In this case, you come with me." ”
He took the pharmacy shopkeeper to shuttle through Yang's mansion for a while, came to a small courtyard, walked into an inconspicuous small room, did not light the lamp, and said, "You can say it." ”
The shopkeeper lightly spit out four words: "Your Majesty is critically ill"
"What?" The old butler was shocked, and could no longer maintain his calm appearance, grabbed the shopkeeper's arm tightly, and said hurriedly: "What you said is true?" ”
The shopkeeper only felt that his arm was scratched, but he endured it and said in a low voice: "There is no falsehood. ”
The old butler whispered, "Come with me, and I'll take you to the master of the house." ”
The old housekeeper came to Yang Shen's courtyard with the shopkeeper and said to a guard guarding the courtyard gate: "Go and report to the head of the house, just say that I have something urgent to see." ”
The guards did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly trotted to the courtyard.
It didn't take long for the guard to come back and respectfully say to the old butler, "Please come into the study to talk." ”
The old butler nodded, and took the shopkeeper to the outside of Yang Shen's study.
The study was open, and it should have been specially reserved for the old housekeeper, who said at the door: "Master of the house, the old slave asks to see." ”
Yang Shen's voice came from inside the door: "Uncle Yang, please come in." ”
Yang Dancong beckoned to the shopkeeper and motioned for him to follow him in.
Yang Shen judged from the footsteps that there were two people before, and when he saw Yang Dancong's shopkeeper beside him, he couldn't help asking, "Your Excellency is...?" ”
The shopkeeper bowed and said: "The villain's surname is Zhang Dapeng, and he has something important to report to the grandfather of the country." ”
Yang Shen looked at Yang Dancong, and when he saw the old housekeeper nodding slightly, he asked, "Don't be polite, what do you have to report to this prince?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "Qi Guogong, today Liu Jin Liu's father-in-law's servant found the villain, let the villain find a way to see you, and tell you that His Majesty is critically ill and time is running out, and at the same time he also wants to meet you in person." He said that he was probably under the watchful eye of the embroiderer at the moment, so I beg you to think of a way. ”
After hearing this, Yang Shen was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Very good, my father is very happy that you can send this news, and I will reward you heavily." If it's late today, and it's inconvenient for you to go back, let's stay in Yang's Mansion first. ”
There is a curfew in Chang'an City at night, and there are even army patrols on Baihu Avenue, Yang Shen can't let him go back at this time, if he is caught and confesses everything, this news will not be of much value.
After Zhang Dapeng left, Yang Shen did not fall asleep, but came to the residence of the Great Elder Yang Kai.
Coming directly to the outside of the Great Elder's attic, Yang Shen shouted, "Grandpa, Shen'er asks to see." ”
The Great Elder's internal skills were exquisite, and this voice woke him up at once, and he sat up from the bed, and he shouted outward, "Shen'er, wait a minute!" ”
He knew that if it wasn't for an emergency, Yang Shen would never come to disturb him at night, so he quickly got dressed, went downstairs to open the door, and beckoned to Yang Shen who was standing outside the door: "Come with me." ”
Yang Kaikai took Yang Shen into the study, and as soon as he entered, Yang Shen couldn't wait to close the door, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, Shen'er heard a news that the emperor's time is running out. ”
Yang Kaikai was shocked and moved: "Are you sure? ”
Yang Shen said: "It was Liu Jin who sent someone to tell me, and he also said that he wanted to see me, whether it was true or not, let's talk about it when I met him in person." ”
Yang Kaikai frowned and said, "I heard that he broke his leg and is recuperating in his own home, let's go see him tomorrow." ”
Yang Shen said: "The person who came to spread the news said that he was being closely monitored by the embroidered clothes position, and this news is probably not simple, we should go to see him secretly." ”
Yang Kai said: "Yes, without further ado, let's go now." ”
Liu Jingui is the master of ceremonies, and his residence Yang Shen and the two are naturally clear, with the martial arts of the two, those patrolling soldiers can't find the traces of the two at all. It didn't take long for them to come to Liu Jin's house.
When he arrived here, the Great Elder was extremely cautious, he took Yang Shen's hand, did not let him act on his own, supported him with internal force, and after carefully scanning the surroundings for a while, he chose to climb over a wall and enter the backyard directly.
Liu Jin's bedroom was figured out by the Yang family's secret guards as early as when this mansion was built, but the strange thing is that there are still many servants shuttling back and forth at this time, making there are almost no dead corners around this bedroom. Yang Kaikai waited with Yang Shen for a long time, and finally found a vacancy, and a hurricane flew into the room.
After entering, Yang Shen found that Liu Jin was sitting on the side chair, and when he saw the two of them, he didn't show any surprise, and said with a smile: "The two of you are here, our family is really happy." ”
Seeing that the two of them were still nervous, he said again: "Don't worry, this is our family's mansion after all, and the number of those who embroider clothes in the mansion is very small, and there are almost no around this bedroom." Do you think that so many servants are going around at night to serve so much medicine to our house? (To be continued.) )
