Chapter 237: Disguise
When the group arrived at the Hongyang, they showed the talisman letter they were carrying to the guys, and the shopkeeper on duty was an old man who had followed Liu Cheng since he was in Chaoyi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Liu Cheng, and was about to bow down, but Liu Cheng stretched out his hand to stop him: "I came to Beijing secretly, there are many people here, so there is no need to be polite!" β
The shopkeeper was also a clever person, and hurriedly led Liu Cheng and his party to a remote courtyard, and said in a low voice as he walked: "My lord, this is a store used to store cold goods, and there are no idlers on weekdays. β
Liu Cheng looked around, as the shopkeeper said, there is a thin layer of ash on the copper handle of the gate of this yard, and the fallen leaves in the yard seem to have been cleaned for more than ten days, obviously few people come here on weekdays, he nodded with satisfaction: "It's very good here, we live here, you don't have to deliver the food or something in person, it's too attention-grabbing, you pick a person with a strict mouth to send it." You don't need to prepare the meals, just let your family make more and send them to us! β
"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper thought for a while: "The villain will let the dog send it, and he will never let outsiders know." β
"It's good!" Liu Cheng said with a smile, the shopkeeper saw that Liu Cheng was satisfied, and was about to turn around to order his subordinates, but was stopped by Liu Cheng: "Let me ask you a question, but is there any way for me to meet Yang Sichang and not let others know?" β
"See Yang Shoufu?" The shopkeeper's face showed a sad color: "My lord, you don't know, Yang Shoufu has been on duty in the palace for six or seven days out of ten days now, and it is very rare to see him in the same year, so it's okay." You also know that such an important minister as him must have a spy from Beizhen Fusi at home, and it will be difficult to see him, and it will be difficult to let others know. β
"I understand!" Liu Cheng nodded: "Think about it, I can stay in the Jingshi for a short time, I want to see him as soon as possible!" β
"Let the villain think!" The shopkeeper frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "There is a way that may work, but I have to wronged my lord." β
"Oh, you say come and hear it?"
"Adults don't know, this Jingshi has a restaurant called Jufu Building, in which the master chef makes a good pig's head, only a long firewood is installed in the stove, with a big bowl of oil sauce, and fennel mixed with stopping, up and down the tin guzi buckle. After an hour, the pig's head was burned to the skin and flesh, fragrant and full of flavors, and the big ice tray was served, and the ginger and garlic dishes were served together. Yang Shoufu likes this dish the most, as long as he comes back from duty in the palace, he will definitely take Jufulou to send a copy of this roast pig's head to the house. I am familiar with the shopkeeper of this Jufu Building, if the adults are not too sloppy, you can disguise yourself as a food delivery job to go to Yang's Mansion, and find an opportunity to see Yang Shoufu, no one will pay attention! β
"What's the matter!" Liu Cheng said with a smile: "This method is very good, it depends on you." β
"Since the adults have agreed, the villain will go to Jufu Building later and ask for two clothes to make two according to the shape of the adults!" He looked at Liu Cheng and said with a smile: "It's just that adults have to pay attention to this behavior!" β
"Manners?" Liu Cheng looked at his hands and feet and asked, "Why do you say that?" β
The shopkeeper smiled: "The adult is already tall, and his demeanor is even more lofty, at a glance, he knows that he is not a subordinate, if he is disguised as a guy in a restaurant, he is afraid that he will show his appearance after a while!" β
Liu Cheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, as the shopkeeper said, thanks to the abundant nutrition of later generations, Liu Cheng has a pair of 178cm tall, 80kg good physique, placed in the late Ming Dynasty generally malnourished people are already standing out from the crowd, what's worse, he was soon in a high position after crossing, used to giving orders, and his demeanor will naturally reveal the kind of arrogance unique to the superiors, he pretends to be a restaurant guy as long as he is a person who cares can see the flaws at once.
"Why don't you find a guy from the restaurant and let him teach me well!" Liu Cheng said with a smile.
"That's what the villain means!" The shopkeeper smiled, and he owed Liu Cheng a debt: "If there is nothing else, the villain will go and get busy first!" β
As soon as Liu Cheng settled down, a young man brought a wooden barrel of hot water, wine and utensils. Liu Cheng traveled overnight along the way, and a thick layer of dirt had already accumulated on his body, and he immediately felt itchy when he saw the hot water in the wooden barrel. After everyone finished eating, Liu Cheng took off his clothes, jumped into the wooden barrel, and scrubbed it with a towel and soap pancreas, and after a while, a layer of gray-white dirt floated on the water.
"My lord, let me help you rub your back!" Ah Gui's voice came from behind, Liu Cheng nodded, and lay on the edge of the barrel, revealing his red back soaked in hot water. Ah Gui picked up the loofah pulp and scrubbed it vigorously on Liu Cheng's back, feeling the scrubbing on his back, Liu Cheng crouched on the edge of the barrel and gradually snored.
I don't know how much time has passed, Liu Cheng felt that someone next to him was gently pushing him, he raised his head and saw the shopkeeper looking at him: "Oh, maybe I was too tired all the way, and I fell asleep in the bathtub, what's the matter?" β
"My lord, what a coincidence, just now Yang Fu sent someone to Jufu Building, saying that Yang Sichang came back at night and ordered this roast pig's head!"
"Good!" Liu Cheng came to his senses completely, he hurriedly stood up from the bathhouse, and shouted: "Ah Gui, quickly get my clothes, shopkeeper, when will they be sent to Yang's mansion, can you catch up?" β
"Don't worry, this roast pig's head is a kung fu dish, it is cooked over low heat, this dish alone will take more than an hour, and the dish that Yang Fu just ordered will be delivered in the evening!"
"Good, good!" While getting dressed with the help of Ah Gui, Liu Cheng thought about how he should meet Yang Sichang after entering the mansion. The shopkeeper smiled and said: "My lord, since you are going to Yang Mansion later, the villain will take it upon himself to let you go with a guy from Jufulou, and then you don't speak, just let him do everything he says." β
At this time, Liu Cheng had already finished his stay, he looked at the shopkeeper and nodded: "What's your name, you're doing a good job, I'll keep it in mind!" β
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain's surname is Yan Zhong, and he is from Huayin!" β
Liu Cheng changed the clothes of the shop guy and went to the Jufu Building, the shop guy who delivered the food was a young man of seventeen or eighteen, and when he saw Liu Cheng, he couldn't help but say, "What a big man, why did you come to be such a guy?" β
That Yan Zhong was afraid that Liu Cheng would open his mouth, so he smiled and said: "Little brother, you don't know, this is a friend of mine, this time I came to Beijing to see what it looks like to be the prime minister, please make it convenient for the little brother!" With that, he took a piece of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the man's hand. The guy weighed about half a tael, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Shopkeeper Yan, you opened your mouth, the villain should do his best, but there are a lot of rules in the old mansion of Yang Ge, please don't talk nonsense when the time comes, and you are too big, just hold your waist!" β
Liu Cheng nodded, and bent his waist according to what the guy said, and the guy smiled: "That's it, okay, Shopkeeper Yan, take your leave!" β
Liu Cheng and the gang made up the food box, and went all the way to the Yang Mansion after leaving the Hongyang. When he arrived at the door, the guy stepped forward to the doorkeeper: "There is a message from Lao Tong, we are from Jufulou, and we are here to deliver food!" β
The doorkeeper had obviously been taken care of beforehand: "Well, fortunately, it's not too late, let's come in quickly." Xiaofuzi, you take them to the back kitchen, I'm afraid they're already in a bit of a hurry! β
A young man in Tsing Yi answered, led the two through the two courtyards, pointed to the row of houses on the left, and said, "The kitchen is there, you two will send the dishes there to hand them over!" β
The guy thanked the young man in Tsing Yi, and walked to the row of houses, Liu Cheng was carrying a food box in his hand, but a pair of eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to find the way to Yang Sichang's study, but although he had been to Yang's mansion a few times, he was the chief soldier of the first army at that time, so naturally he would not go around this kitchen, where could he find the way to the study.
At this moment, an old man in Tsing Yi came out of the kitchen, pointed at the two of them and shouted: "Why are you two so slow, don't look at when!" β
The guy hurriedly stepped forward to laugh, but Liu Cheng, who was standing behind, recognized that this old man was Yang Qing, the personal servant of Yang He's side, he knew that this person was quite useful by Yang Sichang's side, and looked at the courtyard There was no one else, and secretly thought that the spies from Beizhen Fusi should not be in the kitchen, right?
"Uncle Qing, do you still recognize me?" Liu Cheng took a step forward and asked the old man.
"You, you are not epileptic, who knows you?" Yang Qing was taken aback by Liu Cheng's abrupt action, almost fell, and shouted angrily: "Get out of the way, otherwise the old man will call someone!" β
Liu Cheng was anxious when he heard that the other party was going to call someone, he hurriedly tore off the cloth towel wrapped around his head, wiped off the soot on his face, and straightened his back: "Look at it again, I'm Liu Cheng!" is Liu Cheng, who followed the master in Shaanxi at the beginning, and is now in Datong! He was afraid that the guy from Jufulou would leak his whereabouts and not report his official position.
Yang Qing had seen Liu Cheng a few times when he followed Yang He before, and later he saw Yang Sichang even more, plus Liu Cheng's body shape was different from ordinary people, and he immediately remembered after being reminded by the other party: "Why are you?" Liuβ"
"It's me Liu Big Man, Uncle Qing, you finally remembered!" Liu Cheng hurriedly interrupted Yang Qing's words, blocked the other party's sentence "Lord Liu", and at the same time glanced at Yang Qing. That Yang Qing also recovered from Fang Cai's surprise at this time, and also saw the strangeness of Liu Cheng's body, and hurriedly responded: "What if you think about it, big man Liu, have you encountered any trouble again?" β
"Hehe, Uncle Qing is really like a god, and he has something to trouble you!" Liu Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Qing understand what he meant, hurriedly stepped forward to pull Yang Qing aside, and said in a low voice: "I came to Jingshi secretly, and now I have something important to discuss with Lord Yang, you can help me arrange it!" β
Yang Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he looked at Liu Cheng's strange dress, and lowered his voice and said, "The young master is still in the palace, and it is estimated that it will take more than half an hour to come back." β
"It's okay, you can arrange a place for me to wait, and I'll talk about it when the adults come back, remember, don't let others know that I'm here, there may be people from Beizhen Fusi here!"
Hearing the name of "Beizhen Fusi", Yang Qing instinctively shuddered, and subconsciously glanced around, as if a few flowers would jump out of the flowers on both sides. Seeing this, Liu Cheng hurriedly pulled the other party's sleeve twice, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Qing, scold me quickly, otherwise the guy who came with me will be suspicious!" β
"You useless thing!" Yang Qing hurriedly pointed at Liu Cheng and scolded: "I know how to drink and make money all day long, this time I won't care about you anymore!" β
"Qingbo, Qingbo!" Liu Cheng hurriedly hunched his waist, grabbed Yang Qing's sleeve, and pretended to plead: "In the future, I will never touch the dice and leaf cards again, please help me one last time for the sake of my deceased mother!" For the last time! β
Yang Qing was grabbed by Liu Cheng's sleeve and begged by a dignified second-class official, only to feel that half of his body was crispy, and he couldn't even speak smoothly, Liu Cheng saw this, and hurriedly pinched the other party's arm. Yang Qing screamed in pain, Liu Cheng hurriedly pretended to be scared, and helped Yang Qing out of the courtyard half-supportively, leaving only the guy from Jufulou stunned by the kitchen.
The two had just left the courtyard, Yang Qing looked around at no one, hurriedly shook off Liu Cheng's hand, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Liu, what are you doing?" But it's old! β
"Shh Liu Cheng looked around and said with a smile: "Uncle Qing, there is no Lord Liu here, only relatives from your hometown who are fighting the autumn wind." β
"Good, good, good, it's a broken relative who fights the autumn wind!" Yang Qing was amused by Liu Cheng's behavior, and he shook his head: "Why don't you rest in the side courtyard first, and I will invite him to see you as soon as the young master comes back?" β
"I'm sorry for the trouble!"
Yang Sichang came out of the Qianqing Palace, crossed a sandwich road, returned to the military aircraft, explained the matter to Chen Xinjia, who succeeded him, and then left the palace and returned home. Compared with a few months ago, he was a lot haggard, the court was tilted, the Son of Heaven was stubborn, and the erosion of the current situation were all consuming his energy.
"Hey, it seems that I'm really old, or should I resign and go back to my hometown?" Yang Sichang's eyes suddenly flashed the lakes and mountains of his hometown Wuling, and the happy time when he was young and his companions went boating and fishing, mountaineering and looking into the distance, his old face showed a yearning smile, but soon the smile disappeared, and his ears sounded his father Yang He's advice before he died, and his originally somewhat wavering mind became firm again.
"Young master, I'm home!" Yang Qing's familiar voice came from outside the sedan chair, Yang Sichang lowered his head and got out of the sedan chair, saw Yang Qing standing at the door of the mansion waiting, and said with a smile: "Uncle Qing, didn't I say it last time, it's windy outside, so don't wait at the gate!"
