496 A life-and-death task

(First of all, apologize, because the plot of these two chapters is a bit bland, but then there is a better plot, and in addition, brothers, guess how Lian Zining will shut up Jiang Bin?) οΌ‰

And what's even better is that these three industries are not the ones that need to consume a lot of money, and there is no need to buy too much, you know, businessmen in this era will also plagiarize, at noon your children's troupe just performed a new joke, and at night there will follow out.

After explaining to Wang Chunxian again, Lian Zining left, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Wang Geng greeted him, and after saluting, he said: "My lord, Wang Qianhu from MI6 came over just now, and he is waiting in the study at this time." ”

Hmm, Lian Zining answered, and entered the house with a solemn face.

entered the house and arrived at the study, Lian Zining pushed the door in, and saw Wang Posan standing in front of his desk like a benchmark.

Seeing Lian Zining come in, Wang Posan let out a long breath, he received an order to come here at noon today, but he didn't expect the adult to be there, so he had to wait here. Lian Zining's study is like a holy place in the eyes of Wu Yijun and everyone, Wang Posan has only been here once or twice, and they all came with their own bosses, and they were all thrown into it at this time, and they suddenly felt that they were all overwhelmed, and there were tens of thousands of ants gnawing on their bodies, and they didn't dare to move when they stood here just now, and their bodies were stiff at this moment, and their necks were wooden, and they almost twisted the tendons on their necks when they turned around.

Lian Zining showed a smile in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder, walked to his place and sat down, and said easily: "No need to be nervous, sit down!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Wang Posan answered, found the most sidemost chair and sat next to half of his ass, this murderous man felt extremely apprehensive when facing Lian Zining.

Lian Zining glanced at him and asked, "Before Li Tie called you here." Tell you what you didn't? ”

Wang Posan said honestly: "When I returned to my lord's words, I didn't tell you, but I just told the marker, my lord, you have something to send." ”

Lian Zining's face became solemn. He said in a deep voice: "Yes, this time I am looking for you, there is an extremely important thing for you to do, Wang Posan, what I want to tell you is that this matter is not only about my net worth and someone's life." It's even more about the life and death of our entire Wu Yi Army! ”

He stared at Wang Posan with blazing eyes: "Do this big thing, if you are not careful, you will die, what, Wang Posan, if you turn around and leave now, I will not stop you!" ”

Wang Posan's heart set off a stormy wave.

In his heart, Lian Zining is really like a celestial. He is a veteran of the Wu Yi Army, Leling County joined the army, and Beidaying in Leling County is the place he is most familiar with. Jingnan camp also stayed, followed Wu Yijun all the way to the north, and watched how Wu Yijun changed step by step from a small team to a good situation of hundreds of thousands of people today, his heart was full of pride and pride, and Lian Zining, who single-handedly created such a huge army, was like a god, it was simply omnipotent, and all difficulties were solved in his hands, and now. But what is there that can make adults feel extremely tricky? Even one carelessness may turn the entire Wu Yi Army upside down!

He instinctively felt fear, and the terrible fear of the unknown almost made him turn away, but he bit his lip so hard that it broke. Blood swayed a sweet smell in his mouth, his eyes seemed to be burning, and he knelt on the ground: "Don't be afraid of death!" If Wu Yijun is gone, he would rather die! ”

"Good. I was right! Lian Zining said loudly, he came around from behind the table, and helped Wang Posan up with his own hands, there was already an envelope in his hand, Lian Zining handed the envelope to Wang Posan, and said in a deep voice: "You go back, gather twenty of the most elite and loyal subordinates, disguise themselves as merchants, and rush to the capital, remember, at the latest, it will arrive within six days!" Your identity, Lu Yin, are all ready, just look for Wang Geng after you go out. After going to the capital, he first went to the camp in the south of Beijing, found Liu Liangchen, handed over the letter to him, and then obeyed his dispatch. Got it? ”…,

Wang Posan calculated, Zhenyuan Mansion went north to the capital for more than 3,000 miles, and on the 6th, he rushed to the capital from here, which means that one day is five or six hundred miles, so urgent, he realized the arduousness and urgency of this task, he took the envelope, cherished it and put it in his arms, and then pursed his lips and solemnly gave a military salute to Lian Zining.

Lian Zining glanced at him deeply, waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”

Wang Posan turned around and left, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "My lord, mark the next time, if it doesn't work, then Wu Yijun will be the first to die, it can only be me, not someone else!" ”

The corners of Lian Zining's mouth twitched slightly, his body suddenly seemed to soften, and the whole person collapsed on the Taishi chair, with a rare tired and weak look on his face.

No one knows better than him, Wang Posan and these people are going to be arduous, it can be said that it is no different from the Ghost Gate, but in such a place, that person has been in business for decades, the power is huge, and the intertwined place is incomparable, and he has a life-and-death battle with that person!

However, for the sake of today, there is only that!

Lian Zining's eyes flashed with fierceness: "Jiang Bin, you forced me to come to this point, since you are unkind, then I am also unjust!" ”

After planning this major event, he was also physically and mentally exhausted, so he lay down on the Taishi's chair and rested for a while. Now the chess pieces of the cloth have been laid, not only is there no way back, it is the way forward, and it can only be roughly pointed out in the direction by himself, as for how to go, whether he can walk over, whether the end of the road is a broad avenue or an abyss, it has been out of Lian Zining's control.

However, with his status at this time, it is difficult to rest for a while, as soon as Wang Posan left with his front foot, Li Tie came with his back foot.

After Wang Geng took him to the study, he went down, and Li Tie saw that Lian Zining was there with his eyes closed and recuperating, so he was not in a hurry, but just waited there.

Lian Zining suddenly spoke: "Have you seen Wang Posan?" ”

Li Tieying said: "Yes, when I entered the door just now, I happened to meet you." ”

He then asked, "Twenty people?" Do you want to allocate more manpower to him? ”

Lian Zining waved his hand and said: "This, no need, the capital is the lair of Jinyiwei, there are many abnormal people, I am afraid that they will be discovered, so I have raised my vigilance, twenty people." It's enough, it's not a war! ”

Li Tie nodded and continued: "My lord, since you came back and ordered the marking. Under the mark, he sent people along the Songhua River to explore all the way to the south, and now he has discovered the whereabouts of the Qincha who came over. ”

"Oh? Where have the Chincha gone? Lian Zining sat up straight and asked.

Li Tie showed a strange expression on his face, and he said, "Qincha, you have just walked to Anle Prefecture, and you haven't entered the jurisdiction of General Jianzhou yet?" ”

"Huh?" Lian Zining was also surprised: "Why are they walking so slowly?" ”

Li Tiedao: "The people sent by the bidder bought off one of their attachΓ©s, and they found out. It turned out that Naqincha was extremely timid, and after passing the Shanhaiguan, he heard the news that we were fighting a big battle here, so he simply stayed at the Zhongtunwei in Guangning, and heard that he also extorted a lot of money from the local officials. Later, the Zhubang Dacheng declared the end of the war on September 15, and the news reached Zhongtunwei in Guangning on September 18. No, it took three days. Have you just walked to Anle State? The news came that the body and bones of the slave and maid were pampered by the old man. There is wind along the way, there is rain and does not go, crossing the river has to be a big boat and a good boat, according to this speed to come over, mark the estimate, to get to us, how to take a month and a half. ”

"He's not pampered." Lian Zining thought for a moment, and then sneered and exposed this fact: "He walked so slowly to put pressure on me." These eunuchs are all monkey spirits. I must also know that my eyeliner in Beijing has sent the news back, hehe, the twenty big boards! The beating was light or heavy, whether it was beating with pants off or wearing clothes, whether it was fought in front of our hundreds of thousands of Wuyi troops or in a secret room. These, but he's the one who has the final say. It is up to him that I am ruined, and it is up to him to save my face, he knows this, and I know it. So he deliberately walked slower to give me time to prepare! ”…,

"Huh? Prepare, what to prepare? Li Tie was rarely dumbfounded, and his mouth opened wide. Even though he is shrewd and cautious, he is not proficient in such dirty things in the officialdom, and he never thought that what seemed to be an ordinary move would have so many thoughts here.

Without waiting for Lian Zining to speak, he suddenly said, "It must be for the adults to prepare enough gold, silver and jewelry, right?" ”

"That's right, these eunuchs, the best is this!" The corners of Lian Zining's mouth showed a hint of a smile: "But he did this, but he just fulfilled my thoughts, slow down, the slower he goes, the more time we have to prepare." This is good news that I have rarely heard these days. By the way, have you been doing anything unusual lately? ”

"Nothing else." Li Tie hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But there is a matter, but this matter is too small, let the adults be happy when they say it!" ”

"What's the matter?" Lian Zi Ning Qi said.

"At noon today, when I came back from outside the city, I happened to come across a carriage, and inside it was the cousin of the tenth guard Xia Zikai commanding his deceased wife. marked a cross-examination, only to know that Commander Xia had been sending people to find his wife's only relative before her death, didn't this give the result? Li Tie said with a smile.

Lian Zining was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This Xia Zikai is open!" But it's okay, the two of them are in a miserable situation, so it's okay, follow the Empress Na'e and the princess, and always be able to untie some of Xia Zi's happy shackles and resolve the hatred in his heart. Xia Zikai is a person who has the ability and talent, but he is always trapped in the hatred of the Jurchens and can't extricate himself, once people are carried away by hatred, they will inevitably do things by some unscrupulous means, regardless of the severity, if it goes on like this for a long time, the pattern is always limited. ”

Li Tie nodded, and secretly wrote down in his heart that he should be polite to Xia Zi and not have a grudge.

"By the way, where are the merchants?" Lian Zining asked.

"There are many people in their convoy, and there are hundreds of thousands of untouchables on the road, and there is only one big road from Zhubang Dacheng to our Zhenyuanfu, and the road is very crowded. Lian's caravan was quicker and arrived at the Kaolang Wuwei. ”

"Hmm, it seems that a few more big roads should be built, and now this road is okay to deal with in normal times, but once it encounters a big event, it can't be supported." Lian Zining was secretly pondering in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Someone! ”

The door was pushed open, and one of the guards said respectfully, "Your Excellency, please command." ”

Lian Zining said: "You go to the Yamen of the General Office to find Hong Chaojiao." Spread a message, saying that he should send someone to keep an eye on it, and those merchants who came from the north were not allowed to buy peasants' grain in the fields at will. Gather them all together in Zhenyuan's mansion. Ask about the money you bring and allocate the amount of money you want to buy. ”

What Lian Zining meant was naturally not understood by the guard, but fortunately, he had a good memory and repeated it word for word, and then quickly went to the yamen of the general office.

After talking for a while, Lian Zining suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look at Fang Shounian." After a few days of drying, it's time to meet...... Dividing line β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Today, September 23, it is late autumn.

In the early morning of late autumn, it is already very cool, and even when you open your mouth to take a breath of hot air, you can see the foggy white air, and the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is nothing more than that. The sun has not yet risen. The sky was blue and white. The line of sight is not very good, and the mist covers the Andingmen Tower, which looks a little gray.

It's not yet time. The city of Beijing has come to life.

On this street to the south of Andingmen, there are already a lot of people walking, carrying large dung carts and collecting buckets from house to house, and there are slaves of large families who get up early to go to Zhuangzi outside the city to inspect, sitting on horses with their sleeves copied, surrounded by many people, all of them proud. The seller of tofu brains and porridge steamed buns pushed the cart out of the house and began to walk through the alleys to sell, shouting endlessly. The early stall was set up on the corner of the street, and the fried fritters had already been put on the cauldron. A fierce fire boiled. …,

The early shop and the small teahouse also unloaded the door panels, and Xiao Er took the towel handle and stood at the door to greet the guests. There were already a lot of well-dressed guests who were welcomed in, and then there was a series of shouts and shouts for food.

A young man dressed as an official in a green robe drank a bowl of tofu brain and ate two fried dough sticks at a stall. Threw down a few big coins and turned around and left, walked out for more than ten steps, and felt that it was not enough, so he came back and asked Xiao Er to take a bowl of soy milk. The little two were authentic, and soaked half a cold fritter in it, served it to the official, and said with a smile: "Master Xing, drink slowly!" ”

"I'm tired." The young man of the punishment was determined to become a Beijing official, but he didn't expect to be a very humble person, and after saying it, he drank it.

After drinking, he wanted to pay for it, but his action was stagnant, and his face was a little unsightly, it turned out that he was originally from a poor family, studied hard in the cold window, and once he was in high school, the title of the gold list ranked first, but he was a Wenqu star who went down to earth, and his name was all over the world, and he was unique for a while. After that, he stayed in Beijing as an official, but with his status, he naturally served as the best Qingshui in the Qing Shui Yamen of the Ming Dynasty - Hanlin Academy, this kind of talent hub, is an important springboard for the future to be an old minister of the cabinet, it can be said that without the experience of being an official in the Hanlin Academy, he will never be able to go to the top level of the Ming Dynasty's civil officials. Hanlin Academy, of course, its status is extremely important, but its clear water is also clear enough, roughly similar to the later generations of the Party History Office or the Women's Federation, even if it is corrupt to get benefits, it can only be to make some stationery, books and magazines......

As far as this criminal adult's meager income is only enough to pay the rent, he is a person from Huguang, where does he have a house in the capital? What's more, the Ming Dynasty's Yulu often did not pay in time or used other things to pay off debts, and its evil behavior was much worse than the wages of civil servants who would never be owed in later generations.

It's like saying that last month, the punishment of the lord was topped with pepper, and it stands to reason that if these peppers are exchanged for silver, they can be exchanged for a lot of money, even higher than the prescribed money, but the question is, where to exchange it for silver? The officials in Beijing all issued pepper, and the demand for pepper in Beijing instantly became far more than demand, so that those profiteers who opened shops lowered prices one after another. The money that Master Xing bought in exchange for those peppers is almost running out at this time.

When he became an old man, it was a matter of the future, but now he is shy.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say that he didn't bring any money and would make up for it next time, but he couldn't open his mouth at all, he was a literati after all, and he was also a civil official with a high status, if he really did this, it would be a shame. At the moment of the embarrassment of the criminal master, fortunately, the boss was extremely eyebrow-raising, and saw his embarrassment, this stout man who was about thirty years old and had a simple face was a Shandong accent: "Oh, the criminal adult, do you pay (me, four sounds) money!" This bowl of soy milk is for you, but don't pay for it, you always come here to eat every day, but it just adds glory to us! In the future, when you become a pavilion elder, you can write two words for me here! ”

The boss who sold steamed buns next to him laughed and said: "Wang Batou, your idea is wonderful, in the future, Lord Xing will become a pavilion elder, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver for a word, and you will get this bowl of soy milk in exchange?" ”

The man smiled innocently and corrected seriously: "I am called Wang Ba, not Wang Batou." ”

"Come on, Wang Batou!" The boss who sold steamed buns laughed proudly.

The master of punishment was relieved by him, glanced at him gratefully, and said seriously: "Boss Wang, if I am developed in the future, I will give you an inscription!" ”

"Hey, hey, you're always lifting!" Wang Ba laughed.

Xing Yifeng waved his hand, sued for a crime, and ran away with his clothes.

Today is the period of the Great Dynasty Meeting, if you make a mistake, it will be a small matter, but you will lose your official. …,

Seeing the torture Yifeng trotting towards the direction of the Forbidden City, Wang Ba shook his head, beckoned Xiao Er to wipe the oil stain on the table where he had just eaten, tightened his leather jacket, and walked into the store.

His shop is not big, only the size of two rooms, but it is very clean, the windows are bright, there are five or six tables in the store, more than a dozen benches, all wiped clean, touch it with your fingers, there is not even a mimeograph, unlike other stores, touch the black oil in one hand!

The ground is also clean, and the green brick floor was washed with water last night, and it makes people feel comfortable stepping on it at this time.

Therefore, the voice of the boss of Wang Bawang's shop is the best in this area.

It was early in the morning, but several tables were full.

In addition to fried dough sticks and soy milk tofu brains, he also sells donkey meat roasted, Shandong's famous pancake fruits, fried eggs and oil cakes, if there are guests with three or two spare money on hand, want to eat some meat, you can also cut two pig ears, cured beef and other marinated meat, pour sesame oil, mix carefully, tsk, eat a bite, fragrant!

Most of the people who eat here at this time have some spare money at home, and their clothes are quite elegant, but they are just ordinary small citizens, and they are naturally more than those peasants outside the city, but they are quite insufficient compared to those who really have status. But the more people who are not in the middle, but they are the most showy, just like a certain group of people in later generations, although they live in the city, but they are quite poor, except for a house divided into units, they can be said to have nothing, but they look down on the countrymen, who are actually much richer than you.

Therefore, they all spoke very loudly, for fear that others would not hear them, and the house was very noisy.

Wang Ba smiled, and didn't care, and walked to the back of the counter, where there was a meat table, on which was placed a large piece of smoked pork, and only a small piece was cut, revealing the dark red cut surface. Walking into the back room, it was the kitchen, and there was a stove in it, but on top of it was a rather large iron plate, three feet long and two feet wide. There is an iron bucket next to it, which is mixed with sticky noodles, and on one side there are shredded radish, finely chopped green onions, fried dough sticks, soybean paste, etc., all in small bowls.

He scooped a spoonful of noodles with a spoon, spreading them out about a foot and a half in diameter on the iron plate, and in a few moments hot air appeared on the thin bread, and the surface began to turn from white to yellow.

He is making pancakes, this is a very famous specialty food in Shandong, hundreds of years of decay, later generations are also popular, for Wang Ba when he was a child, pancakes are a rare delicacy, and later there is some money, but as long as there are conditions, every breakfast has to eat pancakes, this habit, has been many years.

At this time, a series of voices suddenly sounded outside.

"Yo? Master Su is here? ”

"Master Su, come and sit here!"

……

Wang Ba also hurriedly walked out, and saw an old man in his fifties with gray hair and beard pacing in. (To be continued) RQ
