Han Jian stepped forward by himself, and behind him, Sima Yi and the rest of his entourage and Yu Zhongqing all caught up and entered the crowd together.

However, he said that although there were many people in front, there was no sound of gongs and drums, and it did not seem to be a performance by street performers, and there were many peddlers and pawns among the onlookers. When the group arrived at the crowd, they saw that it was a young girl kneeling on the ground wearing linen and filial piety to sell her body to bury her mother.

But the girl had a large pointed sackcloth hat on her head, and the corpse of a woman was swept away by grass. The woman was wearing ordinary clothes, but they were also very clean, and her exposed legs were faintly rotten, indicating that she had been dead for many days and had not been buried. In comparison, the girl was a lot dirty, just lowered her head, and Han Jian couldn't see her face, but he also felt pity.

"King of the East, such a thing...... It's still Morley. Yu Zhongqing saw that there was a betrayal of his mother in the capital of Jinling, and his face was gloomy, so he didn't want to stay longer.

Yu Zhong said softly, and wanted to take out the money bag from his arms and casually send away the girl who sold herself to bury her father, but at this time, Han Jian didn't seem to hear his words, and asked the person next to him about the girl.

“…… The mother and daughter are also quite pitiful, they have been dependent on each other for many years, she also has a sister, who was sold to a large family in order to treat her father in the early years, and now her mother is dead and has no money to bury her. Fortunately, a well-wisher gave a straw mat, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to wrap his body. Poor, poor ......"

told Han Jian that he was a burdenman, although this person sympathized with the mother and daughter, but he couldn't help, and left with the burden after speaking.

Han Jian glanced at Sima Yi, who seemed to be able to fall asleep while standing, and pointed to the front and said, "Sima." Over to you. ”

"Hmm...... Belch? Sima Yi answered first, and then looked puzzled, he calmed down, and he didn't know what was happening in front of him. At this time, Zhang Xing had already handed the silver to Han Jian.

Because the silver stamps of Wei and Qi were not universal, Han Jian also prepared a lot of silver for purchasing materials on the road and in the Qi Dynasty when he went south this time. This time, Han Jian came out just for leisure, and did not bring too much silver, and Zhang Xing handed over only two ingots and five taels of silver ingots, Han Jian expected that although the silver was not much, it was enough for the girl to bury her mother, and by the way, she left Jinling and returned to her hometown to buy one or two acres of land. It's a worry-free food and clothing.

Han Jian stepped forward. Leaned down and placed two ingots of silver in front of the girl. The girl was wiping away her tears, her expression was sad and desperate, but she didn't expect that there were suddenly two more ingots of silver in front of her.

"I buried my mother and left Jinling City earlier......"

Han Jian said. Then he turned and left. I didn't even look at the girl's appearance. But the girl hurriedly looked up. I saw Han Jian's appearance.

"Thank you for ......" The voice was as crisp as a yellow bird, and Han Jian could tell from this voice that the girl should be fifteen or sixteen years old, and her age was similar to his. However, before he could think about it, he had already returned to the crowd and left with Yu Zhongqing and the others.

Encountering a girl selling herself to bury her father was just a small episode of Han Jian coming out and walking casually, Han Jian didn't expect that he would have anything to do with the girl in the future, he just did a good thing with sudden pity. Han Jian also knew that he couldn't help one by one with his own strength, and there were too many such facts in the past few years, so Sima Jian also reminded Han Jian afterwards not to scatter money everywhere.

Soon, a few people arrived at a teahouse, Han Jian was also tired, so he took people up to the teahouse, and sat down in a window seat on the second floor. Han Jian and others also had a lot of people, seven people sat at two tables, and soon the refreshments were served, and Yu Zhongqing personally poured tea for Han Jian.

"The king of the east is sympathetic to the people of Li, and it is also a blessing to the people of the Wei Dynasty." Yu Zhong poured tea lightly and complimented.

Han Jian said: "I can't say it's compassionate, but I see that I have the ability, so I can help, there are too many injustices in this world, and not everything can be managed." ”

Han Jian didn't mean to say it, but Yu Zhongqing sighed, and the original permanent smile on his face faded, and he sighed: "Maybe only when the world is at the same time, can there be no such injustice." ”

Han Jian didn't expect Yu Zhongqing, who was very flamboyant and exaggerated, to have such feelings, so he just smiled and did not comment.

Drinking tea, Han Jian glanced at the situation on the street outside the teahouse, and there were several clusters of people looking at the situation upstairs intentionally or unintentionally, which means that everything he did along the way was stared at. Only then did he realize that the money he gave to the girl just now would not bring unwarranted disaster to the girl.

But at this time, he couldn't think much about it, and someone had already walked upstairs and walked to the table by the window.

The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a goatee and a very thin build. This person looked very shrewd, holding a red greeting post in his hand, which also seemed to be an invitation, and he had been stopped by Han Jian's entourage before he arrived at the table.

"The East King is polite. When my grandfather heard that the king of the east came from afar as an envoy, he set up a banquet in the house and invited the king to come over the house. ”

Because the storyteller in the teahouse is very loud, and the person seems to be very good at driving the audience's feelings, so the guests listen to the applause constantly, and the voice is noisy, no one will notice the middle-aged man's speech.

"Xiangye?" Han Jian frowned, needless to say, it was Xie Rumo, the minister of Southern Qi, and he was also the backbone of the Southern Qi court.

Han Jian said: "When the state envoy came to visit, he was invited to the banquet before handing over the national letter, I am afraid that it is unreasonable." ”

When the man heard Han Jian say this, he glanced at Yu Zhong, who was silent, and said with a smile: "The matter of the national letter can be postponed, if the king of the east is anxious to submit the letter of state to complete the mission, it is also extremely beneficial to talk to my family's Xiangye, and the prince also has a lot of feelings about the pledge of the prince of the country, and hopes to help the king of the east." ”

Hearing this person say this, Han Jianxin said that the people of Nanqi were also extremely cunning, and Zhu Tongjing said that Yang Xi's detention was done at the behest of Xiangguo Xie Rumo, but Xie Rumo sent someone to tell him that he could help him rescue Yang Xi. It's kind of finger-pointing.

Han Jian is not a fool after all, he knows that Yang Xi's detention is definitely not advocated by any gang or faction in the Southern Qi Kingdom, this matter itself is planned, even the empress of the Wei Dynasty is difficult to get rid of, sending Yang Xi here is destined to Yang Xi not to return safely, what is the point of worrying about who is the culprit now?

However, since Xie Rumo said that he was willing to help, then it would be okay for Han Jian to want to go. Before, he and Zhu Tongjing took a carriage into the city, and he must have been suspicious of the Xie Party, thinking that he was in the same group as the Queen Mother's Party. This time, he went to Xie Rumo's mansion for a trip, and when there was a dealing, a bowl of water was level, and both sides did not owe anything.

Han Jian stretched out his hand and asked Zhang Xing to take the invitation, and when he opened the invitation, Xie Rumo spoke in a polite tone, and set the agreed time as Shen Shizheng in the afternoon of the same day, that is, around three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Shen Shi feast?" Han Jian looked up at the comer, a little puzzled in his heart.

The visitor smiled and said, "If you have the heart to feast, when will it not be a banquet?" If the king of the east is willing to appreciate his face, my family will definitely treat him carefully......"

Han Jian thought about it and probably understood that when he went to a banquet at other times, the Queen Mother and her party might come over to make trouble, such as directly inviting him to the palace for a banquet. Xie Rumo invited him to a banquet in the afternoon when he didn't have a meal, on the one hand, in order to surprise the Queen Mother and her party, and on the other hand, even if he got the news, it was difficult to stop. As a state envoy, Han Jian should not go out at night, so Xie Rumo's abnormal banquet time has been carefully calculated after thinking about it.

"Well, the king will be there on time." Han Jian nodded.

"That's very good." The man hurriedly took his leave and went downstairs alone.

Han Jian saw that the person's back was walking a short distance on the street, and someone followed behind, which meant that this person was also being targeted. Han Jian thought to himself that the complexity of the Southern Qi court was better than that of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the main contradiction in the Northern Wei Dynasty was the imperial court and the locality, while the contradiction in the Southern Qi Dynasty was directly in the capital, and the situation was even more tense.

In this case, he must be careful to do it well, and if he does not handle either side well, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

When Xie Rumo's person who sent the invitation left, Yu Zhongqing spoke again, but he deliberately did not mention the previous incident about Xie Rumo's banquet for Han Jian.

Han Jian opened his mouth first and asked, "Does Master Yu think I should go to the banquet?" ”

Yu Zhongqing originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard this, he froze again, and then smiled awkwardly: "Since the East King has decided, why do you want to ask what he means?" ”

Han Jian smiled: "I just want to hear Master Yu's opinion." ”

Yu Zhong chuckled and said, "Unspeakable, unspeakable." I hope the king of the east will forgive me. ”

After speaking, he gave a salute, and his expression was apologetic.

Han Jian nodded slightly, noncommittal. After all, he only came to Jinling for one day, and the investigation of the intelligence was not too detailed, although Han Jian had some understanding of the disputes between the parties in the Southern Qi Imperial Court, and had done his homework beforehand, but after all, not everyone had to investigate. For example, this Yu Zhongqing, Han Jian doesn't know which gang he comes from. However, it won't be long before Yi Die and Da Xiliu will represent the intelligence system of the imperial court and Mrs. Luo, respectively, and bring him accurate information, and then he will be more aware of the shape of Nanqi.

Han Jian drank tea, and he didn't have the heart to listen to any commentary. After resting, Han Jian was going to continue to visit Jinling City.

Yu Zhongqing accompanied Han Jian downstairs, but he intended to leave.

"Is there something wrong with Master Yu?" Han Jian frowned, could it be that Yu Zhongqing was going to go back and report to someone?

"When I think about it at the next time, there are still some official affairs over there in Tonghua Pavilion that still need to be dealt with, and I can't accompany him more, and I hope that King Dong will forgive his sins." Yu finally saluted lightly.

Han Jian said: "Master Yu is willing to accompany him, it is the king who is thanking him, what is the crime of Master Yu leaving?" Do you want someone to send Master Yu back? ”

"No, no." Yu finally hurriedly refused. After a few words of greeting, Yu Zhongqing left in a hurry, and after walking a short distance, Han Jian found that Yu Zhongqing was also followed.

"Young boy, we are left now, and we want to continue to go?" After all, Sima Yi didn't sleep well last night, and when he saw that Yu finally left lightly, seeing that it was about to be noon, he asked Han Jiandao.

"I said before that you didn't have the energy to stay in the inn to rest." Han Jian glared at Sima Yi and said, "It's too late to go back now." ”

Sima Yi smiled embarrassedly, he was indeed sleepy, and when he saw that Han Jian came out to hang out without a purpose, he said that he wanted to go back.

"Guard Zhang, arrange for someone to accompany him back, and we will continue to walk around Jinling City. After lunch, go back to the inn. Han Jian said.

"Yes." Zhang Xing commanded. (To be continued......)
