Chapter 96: Tian San's Secret (I)
Coming out of Tianruixiang, Tang Yi was not in a hurry to go home, but took Shen Lin to Chunfang Building, although Qian Fat was only a small shareholder, but after all, it was interesting enough, and Tang Yi couldn't treat him badly.
What's more, the Canal will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future, and Tang Yi also needs a confidant to keep an eye on. As he was walking, two people suddenly ran over from the road panting, and rushed to Tang Yi, their faces flushed, and they couldn't speak, it was Wu Tiancheng and Zhu Hai.
"What's going on?"
"Master, Master, let's talk about it here."
The four of them walked briskly to a teahouse, the young man brought tea, Wu Tiancheng couldn't wait to pour a cup, and after drinking it dry, he let out a long breath.
"Master, this afternoon, two groups of people went to the canal and said they wanted to arrest people."
Tang Yi was stunned, the canal was the biggest card in his hand, how could he allow others to make trouble.
"Who the hell is it, can't you stop it?"
Wu Tiancheng smiled bitterly and said: "Master, even you may not be able to do it, it is the eunuchs of the Weaving Bureau and the people of Jinyiwei who came." It is said that there are deserters among the refugees, so let's hand them over. ”
What should come will always come.
Tang Yi lost his mind for a short time, his brain turned again, Zhou Shuo came running, Tang Yi guessed that Jinyiwei and the inner court were going to compete, and it finally became true, but he didn't expect how these two parties put the battlefield on their own territory, it was really hateful!
If you want to stay out of the matter and silently accumulate strength, Tang Yi gritted his teeth in anger and asked casually: "What deserter?" ”
Wu Tiancheng looked around, mysteriously crouched in Tang Yi's ear, and whispered: "Master, it seems that the interrogation of Zhu Zhiliang has eyebrows, and he wants to find a deserter who is proficient in explosives." ”
Blow up? Deserter?
What did it mean, Tang Yi became more and more confused. Wu Tiancheng also spread his hands, and said helplessly: "I don't know, won't the imperial court also learn from us and use gunpowder to repair the canal, right?" ”
With a casual sentence, Tang Yi suddenly struck a flash of lightning in his head, and suddenly brightened.
"Tiancheng, you're really right, it's just that they didn't build the canal, but blew up the embankment."
"Where's the embankment?" Wu Tiancheng asked.
"Huangpu River!"
Tang Yi gently spit out three words, Wu Tiancheng was not stupid, and he came to his senses in an instant. The biggest doubt is why they blew up the river embankment and flooded the farmland.
Tang Yi never believed in this kind of face-painted speculation, most of the Japanese were weavers and fishermen who couldn't survive in the southeast, how could they treat ordinary people so cruelly!
And if they do so, they will dig their own graves, and there will be no more people who secretly support them and report the news.
However, if someone colludes with the Japanese and even simply pretends to be a Japanese and blows up the river embankment and destroys the farmland, it will be logical.
Damn it!
What the gods can't do, they did! A thousand cuts, peeling the skin and lighting the sky lantern are not enough to pay for the sin!
Tang Yi gritted his teeth with hatred, now that Jinyiwei and the Weaving Bureau have found him, eighty percent has accurate information, if he can really find the soldiers who participated in blowing up the river embankment, the whole black curtain will be opened, and there will be an explanation for those poor refugees...... Wrong! It won't be that simple!
Tang Yi shook his head vigorously, if it was really according to his own judgment, this would definitely be a big scandal, the face of the imperial court would be completely lost, and Jin Yiwei would never have the courage to do so, so why would they be so active?
If he is a Jinyi guard, with fatal evidence in his hand, he can force the inner court to bow his head, and he can also win a good reputation in front of the emperor for doing things effectively, taking into account the overall situation, and even snatching the weaving bureau into his hands, it is definitely a lot of work.
As for the justice of the refugees, they don't care at all, in the eyes of these people, except for the emperor's joy and anger, everything else is grass mustard!
You are like this, I, Tang Yi, am not such a person!
Tang Yi frowned for a while, shook his head for a while, sometimes happy and sometimes angry, which made Wu Tiancheng confused, and asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
"Well, let me ask you, as they say, there are deserters who are proficient in explosives, who is most likely?"
"This ......" Wu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Tian San! ”
"Are you sure?" Tang Yi asked again.
Wu Tiancheng nodded vigorously, and Zhu Hai also said: "Young, young master, Tian San is amazing, many big stones were blown up by him." ”
"Master, do you want to hand over Tian San, is it for Jinyiwei or the Weaving Bureau?"
Tang Yi shook his head resolutely: "A bastard, a turtle son, no one will give it, you can find a way to hide Tian San, I will be of great use!" ”
……
For refugees, although they are tired to death, everyone is willing to eat, if nothing else, and just three meals a day is enough to make people salivate. White-flour steamed buns, fragrant rice, occasionally meat in the dish, if you complete a task in advance, there will be additional meals, fat and thin braised pork, against the wind and aroma can float to the city, take a bite, the fat cracks at the tip of the tongue, enjoyable, comfortable. In the past, I didn't dare to think about it during the Chinese New Year, just to be able to eat braised pork, many idlers in the city went to the canal to work in vain.
I heard that if the canal is repaired and the money is earned, they can still have dividends, and they can eat braised pork whenever they want in the future, and they will eat it whenever they want, and they will celebrate the New Year every day, which is more moisturizing than the gods!
Compared with ordinary workers, bricklayers and carpenters with some skills are better paid, especially blasters, who can receive an allowance of one or two silver for each successful blasting.
Tian San had more than a dozen taels of broken silver in his pocket, and when he was resting in the afternoon, he ran to a cooked food stall not far away, the stall owner was a woman in her twenties, who heard that her husband was infected with a disease and died, and he relied on one person to do some small business to pull two children. Every time Tian San comes to buy something, he will give her a few more money, and the poor will help the poor!
This time it was the same again, he bought two osmanthus ducks and gave her the money casually, but the woman stopped him.
"Third Brother Tian, two ducks are for you."
"How's that going to work? How difficult it is for you! "Tian San never takes advantage of women.
The woman pursed her lips and grabbed the placket of her clothes hard, and her bones turned white, as thin as a mosquito, and said: "Third Brother Tian, you are a good person, at night, I, I am waiting for you at home!" ”
After finishing speaking, his face turned into a big red cloth, he turned around and grabbed the flat pole, and ran away. Tian San was completely dumbfounded, and after a while, he slapped himself hard in the mouth, it really hurt!
"This girl is not blind, why did she fall in love with me?"
Love came too suddenly, Tian San was dizzy, as if stepping on a cotton bale, shook three steps, returned to the shed, threw the duck on the broken wooden table, and the two young people who were sleeping on the straw mat got up in a daze. Before his eyes were fully open, he reached for the duck.
Syllable!
Tian San slapped it hard and scolded: "Little donkey, Han Niu, forget the rules, wash your hands for Lao Tzu!" ”
The two teenagers woke up, nodded their heads, turned around, got some water, washed their hands, ran over, grabbed the osmanthus duck, gnawed on it, and the thin little donkey said vaguely: "Sister Xiu'e's craftsmanship is good, third brother, I think you marry Sister Xiu'e home." ”
"What a thing!" Tian San feigned anger.
The little donkey pouted and said, "Who can't see it, Sister Xiu'e looks at you differently!" ”
Tian San was stunned for a moment, thinking of what he had just said, he couldn't help but blush, "Are you serious?" ”
"Of course it is!"
Tian San suddenly felt inexplicably excited, he was born in a military household, several generations have been poor ghosts, and in his generation, he can't even afford to marry a daughter-in-law, although Xiu'e is a widow, she is beautiful and capable, and she has two children, others may be awkward, but Tian San thought of having a child call him father immediately, and his heart was hot, as if he was on fire.
The two brothers were eating ducks with their heads bored, and Tian San's heart had already flown away, and he hummed unconsciously, God could be regarded as an eye-opener......
When he was happy, he suddenly jumped in from outside, and when he arrived in front of Tian San, he said: "It's a big deal, third brother, someone is coming to arrest you!" ”
"What?" Tian San stood up suddenly, and his face suddenly changed wildly. The little donkey and the cow also jumped up.
"Liu Wazi, who wants to arrest the third brother?"
The young man who came in gasped and said, "Third brother, just now the two groups of people are looking for something that can make gunpowder, and there is a group of leaders who don't have a beard yet, and the yin and yang are weird!" ”
"It's the eunuch of the Weaving Bureau!"
Tian San's face turned pale in an instant, he had no illusions, he couldn't imagine that he was hiding among the refugees, and he still couldn't escape, did he really want to go to the sea to be a widow?
The little donkey and Han Niu wiped the oil from the corners of their mouths, and said resolutely: "Third brother, we will accompany you both wherever you go!" ”
"Good brother!" Tian San was particularly moved, and he was about to flee with the two of them. As soon as he got out of the shed, he happened to bump into Zhu Shan head-on. Without waiting for them to finish, Zhu Shan hurriedly made a silent movement.
"The master is dragging those people, hurry up and follow me!" Zhu Shan took them, bypassed the shed, and ran towards the bamboo forest. As soon as the front foot left, the people from the Jinyi Guard and the Weaving Bureau in the back were killed.
"Come on, surround this place!"
