Section 183 Counterattack (Medium)
Xiao Buyi's voice was not loud, but Wang Shichong could just hear it, he didn't know whether Xiao Buyi said it to Liang Zixuan, or warned him Wang Shichong, but he already understood that he was used by Xiao Buyi once.
Zhou Fengzu still followed Jiang Gan's example, beaming proudly, but he didn't know afterwards. He felt that he had finally raised his eyebrows, and if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to crack the Yangzhou jewelry theft case so quickly. After he got Wang Shichong's instructions, he patrolled day and night, and finally by chance, he saw a black shadow holding a bag of things flying on the wall. Of course Zhou Fengzu wouldn't let it go, but when he saw that person's martial arts seemed to be better than him, he just followed behind that person. Fortunately, although the man was flying off the wall, he didn't let him lose it, took him to the back garden of Liang Zixuan's house, and buried the bag of things. Zhou Fengzu immediately told Wang Shichong and consciously made the first contribution. Of course, he still didn't understand, if it weren't for the bearded guest to lure him over, with his eyes, I was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to see the shadow of the bearded guest.
Zhou Fengzu brought Wang Shichong over, but Xiao Buyi brought Huiyin and them over, of course, along the way, they met a few businessmen by chance, chatted a few words, and said that Lord Wang led troops to catch Yangzhou thieves, and the businessmen were worried about their own things, and soon dozens of people gathered over. Xiao Buyi's friendship with Huiyin and others was deliberate, and now is of course the time to play the role of a foreign monk, and now dozens of people witnessed the presence of jewelry, and they were stolen, and it was not so easy for Liang Zixuan to overturn the case.
When Wang Shichong first heard that the jewelry was stolen by Liang Zixuan, he was very puzzled, but he knew that Liang Zixuanyu culture and people were unscrupulous people, and it was not impossible to disrupt Yangzhou, they wanted to kill Xiao Buyi, of course, they might use the method of fishing in troubled waters, but when he saw Liang Zixuan's anger, he already understood that Liang Zixuan had nothing to do with this matter, but now, the situation is beyond his control, he immediately arrested Liang Zixuan, and only thought about keeping himself out of the matter first, otherwise Xiao Buyi would even be beaten, Pull him in, that's a disturbing thing.
"Xiao Buyi, do you think you can frame me like this?" Liang Zixuan sneered: "Then you are too naΓ―ve, do you think Lord Wang will be deceived by you?" β
Xiao Buyi laughed and said loudly: "Lord Wang only took a few days to capture the Yangzhou thief, which is really a great contribution. I am ready to ask the Holy Lord for the merits of Lord Wang, and I also ask all the villagers and elders to jointly recommend it. β
After the merchants finished distributing the jewels, when they heard Xiao Buyi's suggestion, they all nodded yes, and even said that they should be.
Hui Yin stepped forward early and saluted Wang Shichong and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know that Lord Wang's wisdom pearl is in his hands, and there are many offends, please forgive me." β
Wang Shichong squeezed out a smile, "The master is too famous." β
"Xiao Buyi, you have clever methods, but you'd better kill me on the spot now." Liang Zixuan hated and hated: "I'm not guilty of capital crimes, and no one can say who will kill the deer." β
"You are not guilty of a capital offense." Xiao Buyi sneered: "But this case is Lord Wang's responsibility, Lord Wang may not punish you, but at least you must be sent to the Eastern Capital, otherwise so many fathers and villagers will not be allowed to be present." β
Wang Shichong's face changed slightly, knowing that Xiao Buyi was warning him, and he couldn't call the shots about this matter. Xiao Buyi said again: "But the road from Jiangdu to Dongdu is not peaceful, and bandits are rampant, so you have to be more careful, in case a Lishan Fei along the way harms your surname, then it is no wonder that others." β
Liang Zixuan's face changed slightly, "Xiao Buyi, are you threatening me?" "Xiao Buyi's meaning doesn't look like letting him turn back to the Eastern Capital!
"I'm just telling you a fact." Xiao Buyi laughed.
Liang Zixuan suddenly laughed too, "Xiao Buyi, you are very proud now, but you don't have to be complacent too early, I may not die earlier than you." β
"Oh?" Xiao Buyi was interested, "What do you mean by this?" β
Liang Zixuan's eyes were resentful, "I may not survive the Eastern Capital, but you may not be able to return to the Eastern Capital." He wanted to speak and stopped, just sneered, didn't say more, Xiao Buyi didn't ask, shrugged his shoulders and smiled and left.
Not far from Liang Zixuan's residence, there was already a shout behind him, "Xiao Gongzi, please stay." β
Xiao Buyi turned around and saw Hui Yin and a few people hurrying over.
"Something?"
"Lord Xiao Shi is kind-hearted, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the heart of the Buddha, no wonder he can discuss Zen with Taoist monks." What Hui Yin said this time was sincere, "We have thanked Lord Wang just now, although we know that the Central Plains has a saying, which is called great grace without thanks, but the poor monk really has nothing to repay except for thanks." β
Xiao Buyi said in his heart, he is also a monk, you and Daoxin are really too far away, Daoxin is enlightened, and you are just a monk in a monk's robe.
"It's a lot of effort."
"Xiao Gongzi." Mayuko had rarely spoken, and suddenly said, "Have you had any leisure lately?" β
"Oh?" Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows, "Kiko, I wish I could be idle." β
Mayukiko was a little disappointed and said: "Xiao Gongzi is a heroic hero, unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and has found the Golden Buddha for us, we are really very grateful." β
Xiao Buyi was a little embarrassed, I don't know how they would feel if they knew that it was themselves who stole the Golden Buddha.
"Prince Shotoku of our country actually knows people well and respects people like Xiao Gongzi very much." Mayukiko said softly: "If Young Master Xiao has the leisure to go to Yamato, we will welcome you in the most noble way." β
Xiao Buyi smiled, "Right now, I'm full of trivial matters, and it looks like I really have to wait until I'm free." But thank you Miss Noriko for your kindness, I will retire first, I just hope that you will return home safely. β
Xiao Buyi turned around and left, Zhenyu Nobuo hugged the Golden Buddha tightly, looked at Xiao Buyi's back, full of admiration, "Master, the Great Sui people are outstanding spirits, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, far better than our Yamato country." If Prince Shotoku had such a helper, I think he would have the strength to fight against Soga......"
Mayuko coughed, "Big brother! β
Shinyu Nobuo stopped, his face full of indignation, but Huiyin and Guangqi clasped their hands together and whispered: "Amitabha, good, good." β
**The fifth day of the fifth month of May, since the pre-Qin era, it is more recognized that May is the poisonous month, and the fifth day is evil, and the fifth day of the fifth month of May is of course unknown. Since the pre-Qin period, it has always been the custom to plant calamus and mugwort leaves to drive away ghosts, and to drink atractylodes, angelica and realgar wine to avoid epidemics.
Xiao Buyi fasted for three days, in the early morning of the fifth day of the fifth month of May, he was dressed in plain clothes, and when he walked out of the hotel, his clothes were fluttering, and his white clothes were better than snow, riding on a white horse, and the sound of tapping was accompanied by the fluttering flowers in the streets and alleys, and for a time I don't know how many people were envious.
He said that he had many purposes today, but the main purpose was to plant trees, and the place he went to was Xuanhua Garden in the south of the city.
Although Chen Xuanhua died, the impact was not small, although she was simple when she died, she still had her own destiny after all.
Xuanhua Garden is not luxurious, elegant and quiet everywhere, clean and immaculate, obviously even if Yang Guang does not go to the south of the Yangtze River, it must be cleaned spotlessly every day.
When Xiao Buyi arrived at Xuanhua Garden, Wang Shichong had already waited early, he was also in plain clothes, and when he saw Xiao Buyi, he arched his hand and said: "Lord Xiao, I have prepared the forty-nine poplar trees and sixty-four willow trees you want, and I ask Lord Xiao to check them." β
Xiao Buyi nodded, and said with a solemn face: "Lord Wang does things, is there any reason for being unsafe?" His eyes looked over from the willow trees on the side, only to see the trunks of the trees, the scars were rare, and he couldn't help but admire the excellent work of this Wang Shichong's face-saving project.
Although Wang Shichong was not as good as Hui Yin, he always felt that Xiao Buyi's words were profound, so he changed the topic and asked: "The Holy Lord asked me to fully cooperate with Lord Xiao's actions, I don't know how to deal with this in the future?" β
Xiao Buyi looked at the sky and said, "I still need to wait for another stick of incense." β
Wang Shichong didn't ask much, just waited quietly with Xiao Buyi, this is Xuanhua Garden, solemn and quiet, even a person like Wang Shichong is not good at making a loud noise, just afraid of being caught.
The two of them showed their grief like mourning, and after a stick of incense, a rumbling sound came from afar. Wang Shichong didn't think of anything, Ji Qiu had already arrived in a hurry, and when he saw that Xiao Buyi was also there, he leaned over and whispered. Wang Shichong was displeased and said: "We have nothing to say to others, Lord Xiao is here, but it doesn't hurt to say it." β
"There is a convoy marching in this direction, it is Lord Xiao's subordinates," Ji Qiu's mind turned quickly, and asked: "Lord Wang, I am only afraid of making noise, may I ask if you want the convoy to pass?" β
When Wang Shichong heard the convoy, his face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Buyi and said, "Lord Xiao, what is this?" β
"Let them come." Xiao Buyi sighed softly, "This is Daoist Yuan's arrangement. β
Wang Shichong had already thought of Xiao Buyi's twenty boxes in the hotel, and he was hesitant, he couldn't understand what Xiao Buyi was doing, so he waved his hand and said, "Let them in." β
After a moment's effort, Ah Rust and Zhou Muru had already led the convoy to Xuanhua Garden, Xiao Buyi instructed the porter to move the boxes and then retreated, and a group of guards carried the boxes into the park, all the guards were light-footed, and they did not gasp for a moment, and their faces were serious.
After Xiao Buyi entered the park with a group of guards, Wang Shichong asked puzzledly, "Ji Qiu, what's going on?" β
"What do you say?" Ji Qiu said confusedly.
"What did I say about this box?" Wang Shichong said in a low voice.
Ji Qiu shook his head and said, "My lord, I don't know, but Lord Xiao asked his subordinates to move the boxes over, how dare I stop them?" β
Wang Shichong had a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "Follow me over to see what is famous." β
Wang Shichong Jiqiu entered the garden with a few guards, but found that Xiao Buyi had put on the incense table early, burned incense and prayed, and had words in his mouth, but Wang Shichong just looked at the box and was puzzled.
Xiao Buyi waited until the prayer was finished, then turned around and whispered, "Open the box." β
Wang Shichong was only afraid that Xiao Buyi would bury the box in Xuanhua Garden, he didn't have the courage to dig it, and when he heard Xiao Buyi say to open the box, his heart almost jumped to his throat.
Ji Qiu has been following him for a long time, and he has long believed that Xiao Buyi is digging for treasures, and Lord Wang also wants a piece of the pie, and that pearl has long hung his mind in an endless place, and when he heard the 'creak' of the box, Ji Qiu almost vomited blood.
The box opened, and there was no imaginary jewel emanating out, and after Ji Qiu glanced at it, he rubbed his eyes with his hand, and when he confirmed that he was not mistaken, he really wanted to vomit blood.
The box contained brown dirt, and it was true.
Ji Qiu looked at Wang Shichong, and said in his heart that these two adults cherish each other, most of them are sick, one sets off from Lefang every night to the west of the city to mess around, and the other keeps monitoring day and night, never relaxing, is it for these brown soils?
Even if Wang Shichong was calm, when he saw the brown soil in the box, he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Xiao, what does this mean?" β
Xiao Buyi reached out and took out a sachet in his arms, put it in the candle flame and lit it, and waited until it burned out before saying, "So far, adults and I have nothing to hide." In fact, the Holy Lord asked me to go south mainly to repair the cemetery of Mrs. Xuanhua. β
Wang Shichong nodded, "Well, I actually guessed one or two." β
"The Holy One holds us very seriously, and we will do our best to do everything for the Holy One." Xiao Buyi said again: "Daoist Yuan Tiangang of the Eastern Capital gave me three tips before I traveled, and this second one is to dig the brown soil according to the location he selected. According to Yuan Daochang, this brown soil is located near Daming Temple, and it has already been dyed with aura because it is located near Daming Temple, and it has been blessed by the Daming Temple at night, and it has been blessed by the spiritual tower......
Seeing Wang Shichong's stunned appearance, Xiao Buyi asked, "Lord Wang, don't you believe it?" β
Wang Shichong hurriedly shook his head, "It's not that I don't believe it, but I've never heard that brown soil also has a spiritual surname, it seems that Buddhism is Zen profound, and it is definitely not something that people like me can comprehend." β
Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "Lord Wang is too humble, but this kind of thing, since it is the order of the saint, I should do it one by one." Yuan Daochang also calculated that at the beginning of the birth of the son every night, he set off to the west to check the location of the brown soil when he let my son in the bag, although it is absurd in the music square, but it is because the Taoist chief calculated that the tassel river in Qionghua Lane has been dyed with the fragrance of Qionghua for a long time, but how I am the same as Lord Wang, and I am mostly puzzled, but since the saint has instructed Yuan Daochang, Yuan Daochang has granted me a tip, I categorically have no reason not to do it. It's just a pity that the bag has been burned, otherwise if you show it to Lord Wang, you might be able to understand the mystery in it. β
Wang Shichong said with a strong smile: "Lord Xiao said that he was joking, what Lord Xiao didn't understand, how could I understand it?" Xiao Buyi said it in a good way, Wang Shichong was suspicious when he heard it, and almost thought that he was spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but it can be seen that he burned the bag and then said this to himself, and felt that Xiao Buyi was very inauthentic.
After Xiao Buyi finished explaining, he then took out another bag, unfolded it and looked at it, pinching his fingers to calculate the direction. When Xiao Buyi unfolded the bag, Wang Shichong could see it clearly, the white paper was densely lined with circles, and the gossip of the Nine Palaces was like falling into the clouds.
Xiao Buyi took the shovel handed by Ah Lu soberly, and measured the distance in front of Mrs. Xuanhua's tomb before starting construction.
He is infinitely powerful, under the shovel at will, the soil is like a paper paste, Wang Shichong is secretly shocked, the heart of this kid's martial arts has reached the point of great ingenuity, and the rest of the strength is endless under the random shot, if he fights with him, he may not be sure of winning.
It's just that martial arts are obviously not enough in this world many times, although Wang Shichong knows martial arts, but he rarely makes a move, he has always felt that the hard-working person is not bad at all, after seeing Xiao Buyi dig out the soil, he took the brown soil in the box to fill, which seems natural, and always feels a little wrong.
"Lord Xiao has worked hard, why don't you let me plant a few trees to show my heart?" Wang Shichong was eager to try.
Xiao Buyi waved his hand and said: "Lord Wang, Daochang Yuan personally ordered that I want to plant this willow tree personally, and I can't fake others, thank you Lord Wang for your kindness, but I dare not disobey the holy order." β
Wang Shichong was depressed when he heard him say that the Holy Emperor was the emperor, so he had to smile and say, "It's hard work Lord Xiao." β
Xiao Buyi is meticulous in planting trees, although he is powerful, but after all, there are more than 100 trees, and each tree has to be planted by himself, which is really laborious. He took the soil out of Xuanhua Garden, and did not place it at random, but actually poured it into the box again, Wang Shichong sneered secretly, but it looked very boring. After Xiao Buyi finished planting the willow tree according to the direction in the bag, it was already past noon, Xiao Buyi clapped his palms and said with a sigh of relief: "I am fortunate not to be dishonored." β
instructed his subordinates to clean up the cemetery and carry the box out again, Xiao Buyi then arched his hand to Wang Shichong and said: "Lord Wang, Jiang Du and his party, fortunately I have been taken care of by my lords in many ways, I have finished everything, and I will return to my life tomorrow." β
"So fast?" Wang Shichong was stunned, but Xiao Buyi nodded and said: "I have come to Jiangdu for some time, and I must reply to the holy order first." β
Wang Shichong smiled and said, "That's fine. β
Xiao Buyi turned to leave, and Ji Qiu was puzzled: "My lord, this is the end?" β
Wang Shichong said lightly: "Then what else do you think you should do?" β
Ji Qiu's mind was racing, "I think Xiao Buyi may use the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars." β
"Oh?" Wang Shichong's heart moved slightly, "What is stealing beams and changing pillars?" β
"He filled the box with dirt, if he said that the Taoist chief ordered him to take it out of Yangzhou City, I don't think it would be easy for adults to stop him." Ji Qiu frowned.
"What did he take the dirt out for?" Wang Shichong asked.
Ji Qiu said slowly: "He first let us see the soil, and then hid the jewelry inside, and then borrowed the bag to say, didn't God take the treasure out of Yangzhou without knowing it?" β
Wang Shichong frowned, nodded and said, "Ji Qiu, I didn't think of what you said, so according to your suggestion, if he says that the emperor's order is in his body and he doesn't let us check it, how should we deal with it." β
Ji Qiu lowered his voice, "My lord, the outside of Yangzhou City is not very peaceful, I heard that the Supreme King Lu Mingyue has also been haunting the neighborhood recently, why don't we send a team of elite soldiers disguised as Lu Mingyue's men to grab the box?" β
Wang Shichong narrowed his eyes, patted Ji Qiu's shoulder and said, "Good plan." β
**The Yangtze River is vast with smoke and waves, and ships come and go.
From the Yangtze River estuary in Yangzhou, you can go to sea with the river to the east, of course, you can also go upriver to the mainland, most of the merchant ships that go to sea are carrying silk and silk in exchange for rare things overseas, and the merchant ships that go to the mainland against the current account for a large proportion of the salt trafficking.
It's just that the same as the Mayi Zhangye transaction, the sale of salt can only be carried out with the permission of the government. Private salt sellers, more than one stone must be executed, most of the people who can sell official salt in the mouth of the Yangtze River are wealthy families with great backgrounds, and the Yuan family in Runan can be regarded as the number one.
Yuan Lan stood on the deck of the big ship, raising her eyes and looking out at the river. They just drove out of Yangzhou, went upstream, and marched to Jiangxia Jiangling through Danyang and Liyang, and the ordinary sea salt here in Yangzhou arrived there, and the profits were more than ten times, or even dozens of times overturned, which was really a rare profiteering deal.
Of course, even if everyone in the scholar clan has to check the checkpoint government every once in a while, and the collusion between officials and businessmen has existed since ancient times.
Yuan Lan's three big ships were loaded with sea salt, and he personally escorted them, which shows that he attached great importance to this transaction, but the big ship just left Yangzhou, and before the sail was raised, there was already a big ship from the government in front of him. Yuan Lan frowned slightly, asked the sailor to stop the boat, and the other party stood at the bow of the boat, with armor on his body, and said loudly: "Is it the Yuan family's salt ship on the other side?" β
Yuan Lan said on the boat: "Is it Lord Tiger Benlang Wang Bi Wang on the other side?" β
Wang Wei let the official ship get closer, and before he could get on the deck, he had already jumped over, looked at Yuan Lan with burning eyes and said, "Mr. Yuan, it is Wang Bian." β
Yuan Lan was puzzled: "I don't know what Hu Benlang intercepted?" The ship had already been approved and approved by Wang Juncheng, and all the formalities were complete, but it seemed unreasonable for Hu Benlang to stop it. β
Wang Wei said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, I don't want to intercept Mr.'s ship, but I just want to search for the bandits. β
The two boats landed on the deck early, and all the soldiers came over with guns and knives, Yuan Lan frowned and said: "What kind of bandits, do you think that I, Yuan Lan, can't collude with bandits?" β
"That's not what I mean." Wang Wei hugged his fists and said: "Recently, there are often bandits in Jiangdu County, and a few days ago, there was a jewelry thief in Yangzhou. Wang Juncheng asked me to step up the patrol of the river and search the ships coming and going, which was just a routine matter, and Mr. Yuan understood the matter and would definitely not let me wait for it. β
Yuan Lan frowned and said: "Everything must be in order, even if it is searched, it cannot be said that it is searched, and it should be issued by Wang Juncheng." β
Wang Wei raised his right hand, and a token was impressively in his hand, and Wang Wei said in a deep voice: "This is a warrant from Lord Wang, and seeing the order is really no different from seeing Lord Wang." β
Yuan Lan looked at the token for a long time, and reluctantly said: "My goods have been loaded properly, they are all sea salt, you don't have to damage it, I can't sort it out." β
Wang Wei didn't answer, but he had already led the guards to search the big ship, and bags of sea salt were piled up, Wang Wei waved his hand and said, "Move away and see." β
Yuan Lan stepped forward and said with some annoyance: "Hu Benlang, what are you doing here?" β
Wang Wei just stared at Yuan Lan's expression, and said in a deep voice: "I'm just afraid that the bandits are hiding in this sea salt to let the soldiers patrol, and please Mr. Yuan don't embarrass me." β
"I think you're making it difficult for me." Yuan Lan said angrily: "The goods are all neatly placed, Yangzhou City has been inspected, and now after moving away, do you know how much manpower it takes to reload it?" There is a small space here, how can it be Tibetan? β
"If there are no Tibetans, what does it matter if I am searched?" Wang Wei smiled.
"But this cargo?" Yuan Lan was about to say something, but Wang Wei had already waved his hand and said: "Since I let people move out, I will naturally let people reorganize it as it is, Mr. Yuan obstructed it in many ways, but is there a ghost in his heart?" β
Yuan Lan raised her eyebrows, "Wang Wei, if you remember everything you did today, I will respond truthfully to Wang Juncheng." β
Wang Wei laughed in his heart, and secretly said This is the arrangement of his father-in-law, I am afraid of where you come from. He brought a lot of people, and soon scattered the mountains of sea salt, but found that the salt was still salt, and it had not become jewelry, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.
"Go search the cabin." Wang Wei ordered again, Yuan Lan just sneered, no longer blocked, but the cabin is much easier to search than the cargo, Wang Bian's brows are more and more frowned, and when all his subordinates are turning and shaking their heads, Wang Wei stretched his eyebrows instead, and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Yuan for your cooperation, it seems that the bandits are not hiding here, so Wang Mou bothered." β
Yuan Lan stomped his feet and scolded his mother on the ship, shouting for Wang Wei to pack up the goods, but Wang Wei left early to search for other ships. Yuan Lan had no choice but to let a group of sailors pack up their goods, and a young girl, Yingying, walked to Yuan Lan's side and said softly: "Dad, don't be angry, they are more fierce than bandits." β
The girl's eyes are clear, her skin is tender and smooth, and she always speaks with a little shyness, but it is Yuan Lan's daughter Yuan Qiaoxi.
Yuan Lan sighed and said: "This business is getting more and more difficult to do, Qiaoxi, you ......"
Yuan Qiaoxi blushed, bowed his head and said, "Dad, since we arrived in Yangzhou and heard that Xiao Gongzi is also in Yangzhou, why don't you go to him?" β
Yuan Lan smiled like an old fox, "You want to see him?" Seeing that her daughter was shy and didn't answer, knowing that this daughter was born like this, Yuan Lan smiled and said: "Don't worry, he has something here with me, I don't need us to look for him, I'm just afraid that he will come to us soon." β.
(To be continued)
