Chapter 165: Grasp the Philosophical Wood
"Son-in-law, Zhang San'er is here?"
"Here, let him wait for me in the living room, and Ma Shan will arrive!" When Meng Yan heard the news, he lifted the quilt and jumped up.
Soon dressed up and came to the living room.
"Son, good morning!"
"Zhang San'er, you say, is there a clue?" Meng Yan asked eagerly.
"Yes, Gongzi, one of my subordinates found that there is a leather goods store in Ya'er Hutong in Houhai, and the owner is a Tatar, and his name is Meng Ke......"
"Pick up the point?"
"Yesterday someone saw Munch go to a pharmacy on Tobacco Bag Xiejie to buy some wound medicine, my man inquired about his buddy, Munch was fine, not injured, and the guy also said that without him to deliver food, Munch couldn't finish every time, but yesterday he ate cleanly......"
"Son, there must be something wrong with this Munch!" Jiang Feng said.
"Your people didn't startle the snakes, did they?"
"No, I have a guy who sells vegetables near there, and he knows Munch's guys very well, so he chatted casually."
"Yes, Zhang San'er, you have done a good job, if the news is true, you and your brother will be rewarded!" Meng Yan was very happy.
When he accepted Zhang San'er, he wanted to have one more news channel, and this little person may not be useless.
Now it seems that this comes in handy!
"Son, there is a person outside the door who claims to be Lin Tianxing who wants to see you?" One of Jiang Feng's subordinates came in and said.
"That's my guy, bring him in!"
"Childe!" Meet Meng Yan. Lin Tianxing bent down and saluted.
"Tell me to go down, break it into pieces, and gather in Ya'er Hutong in Houhai." Meng Yan ordered, "Be careful. ”
"Yes, Childe!"
"Jiang Feng, see if Lao Cai is awake, wake up, call him, and the three of us will go out!" Meng Yan commanded.
"Yes!"
About half an hour, Meng Yan, Jiang Feng and Lao Cai came to the cigarette pouch Xiejie near Houhai.
It has always been the most prosperous and lively place in the capital. Originally, it was the end of Caoyun. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, there are many shops and restaurants, how can it not be lively?
In particular, the various snacks hidden in the alleys exude an attractive smell everywhere.
"Let's go. I invite you to dinner. There is a shop here that makes cheong fun. I heard that it tastes good, so let's go over. Meng Yan said.
"I know, small intestine Chen. This area is famous. Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"You know the way, take us there?" Meng Yan said with a smile.
"Childe, Lao Cai, ...... here"
"Boss Chen, is the business good?"
"Yo, isn't this the big shopkeeper Jiang, why are you here?" When the small intestine Chen saw Jiang Feng, he was very enthusiastic.
"Boss Chen, the three of us, can you bring us three bowls of small intestine noodles?" Jiang Feng commanded.
"Okay, you three wait a minute, just a while."
Sit down, wait for a while, and three steaming small rice rolls are served, and the tantalizing aroma makes people salivate.
"Lao Cai, let's eat, I'll have a treat today, it's not enough to call again!" Meng Yan greeted.
"Good!" Lao Cai picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl, and ate quickly.
"Is there vinegar?" Meng Yan asked.
"Yes, yes, Xishan's, old vinegar!"
"Shanxi old vinegar is good, bring me a pot, there are three of us here." Meng Yan said with a smile.
"I heard that the Jinyi Wei Baihu who broke into the north was assassinated by the Wara people and killed a lot of people?"
"I also heard that the Jinyi Guard surrounded the Huitong Pavilion and took away a lot of Warat's war horses and goods......
"That's the tribute mission of the Varat people copied by the Jinyi Guard!"
"You've heard about ...... too"
"Don't you see, the Warat people were originally arrogant, but now they are all beaten with frosted eggplants, wilt!"
"You don't know, last year the Varagon mission ......"
……
"Childe, they're talking about you, right?" Jiang Feng's eyes were full of admiration for Meng Yan, you must know that it was Meng Yan who led people to copy the Waragong Mission.
"Cough, cough......" Lao Cai, who was eating, suddenly choked.
"Lao Cai, slow down, this little rice noodles are very hot, be careful to burn your throat." Meng Yan reminded.
"Prince, did you really take someone to copy the Waragong Mission?" Lao Cai asked with a look of surprise.
"Yes!"
"There is a saying that you shouldn't say, Gongzi, you are a little reckless in doing this!" Lao Cai whispered.
"What should I do?" Meng Yan asked rhetorically.
"Gongzi, you should stay out of the matter and assassinate the officials of the imperial court, no matter who it is, it is impossible for the imperial court not to give you an explanation." Lao Cai Dao.
"Lao Cai, I know what you think, eat first, and we'll talk about this later." Meng Yan nodded, there was a lack of a wise man by his side to remind him at any time, after all, his understanding of this era was only scratching the surface.
Although Lao Cai has been in prison for 20 years, his basic sense of smell is still keen, and Meng Yan now feels that he is only concerned about being happy, but the troubles that follow are also coming.
If you can't find the philosophical wood, you will be in even more trouble.
Of course, Lao Cai doesn't know his details yet, and he doesn't know the inside story, so he can only give his own opinions based on his own judgment.
"Yes, Childe!" Lao Cai knew that Meng Yan was a very strong and assertive person, and what he said just now was also a temptation.
To test whether Meng Yan can listen to the opinions of others, this is also a reference for him to do things under Meng Yan in the future.
He can speak and do as much as he can do, and he is also knowledgeable as a strategist, not just blindly giving advice and doing his best.
You have to learn to understand the master's personality and preferences, and grasp the balance in order to let yourself go further.
After being imprisoned for 20 years, Lao Cai didn't think about anything else, so he pondered two things, the first is the emperor's mental technique, which I am afraid may not be used in this life, and the second thing is the way to be a minister, and there are many kinds of courtiers. Zheng ministers, capable ministers, direct ministers, ministers, important ministers, traitorous ministers, etc.
Among them, there are two kinds of emperors that are inseparable, the first is the able minister, because he has the ability to govern the country, and left. The state is in chaos. The second is the minister, who is also capable, able to do things, and obedient. Easy to use. The emperor is also inseparable.
And the other courtiers. Then it is not necessary, the emperor can depreciate or even kill if he doesn't want to use it.
But. As long as they are courtiers, there are really not many people who can die well, and those who can really die well are generally mediocre ministers.
Lao Cai has thought countless times, if he becomes an official in the court, what kind of courtier should he be?
Actually, this question cannot be answered, and he himself does not know.
His heart is very conflicted, very tangled, just like his appearance in prison, he is crazy, a madman......
"Woo ......"
"Where did you come from, call me out!" As soon as the boss ordered, the two guys picked up the broom and hit a skinny old dog!
The old dog was in pain, but still didn't leave, and she was wrestling with the two guys, her eyes always fixed on the trash can that the guest couldn't eat and threw away.
For a moment, Meng Yan was shocked by that kind of look, which reminded him of a military dog Xiao Hei who followed him in his previous life, and after he covered his sacrifice, he never raised a military dog again.
Subconsciously, he was afraid of being in that situation.
"Jiang Feng, go and stop it, that dog is also pitiful, just let it eat and leave." Meng Yan commanded.
"Does it hurt?"
"You see it's just dodging, there's no hurt in its eyes, go ahead, it won't hurt." Meng Yan said, "People still have compassion, let alone animals? ”
"Yes, Childe!" Jiang Feng got up and walked over and stopped the two guys from beating him.
The old dog was really human, he actually looked at Meng Yan, barked twice, and then ran to the trash can and ate it.
"This old dog, it's really greedy......" Suddenly, someone scolded angrily, Meng Yan looked up, and saw the old dog running towards an alley with a meat sausage in his mouth.
"Lao Cai, have you eaten enough?"
"I'm full, Son!" Lao Cai agreed.
Meng Yan summoned the guys to pay the bill, got up and said, "It's time for us to do business." ”
"Son, where is the crow alley." In addition to the snack bar of Xiao Gu Chen, Jiang Feng pointed with his hand and said, it was the alley where the old dog went.
"Childe!"
Lin Tianxing and Tang Xiao came, both of them were wearing civilian clothes and makeup, Jiang Feng and Lao Cai didn't know each other, but Meng Yan still recognized them at a glance.
After all, he was quite familiar with the two of them.
"Have you all arrived?"
"It's all here, just wait for the order from the adults!" Don laughed.
"Okay, the person we're looking for is in Ya'er Hutong, and I don't know how many people there are on the other side, so leave one group of people to guard the exits on both sides of the alley, and the other two groups of people, one group will follow me in from the front, and the other group will block from the back door, can you understand?"
"My lord, what is the address?"
"Munchskin!"
"Understood!" Tang Xiao nodded.
"Tianxing, you are not a Jinyi guard, you don't have that smell on your body, you can go in with Jiang Feng later, pretend to be a merchant who buys furs, and let me know the situation inside first." Meng Yan ordered.
"Tianxing understands!" Lin Tianxing was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and agreed.
"Okay, let's get started!" Meng Yan gave an order, and the arrest operation officially began.
"Lao Cai, let's go over too!" Meng Yan said calmly and calmly.
"Yes."
"Wang......" suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Wait a minute, Lao Cai!" Meng Yan suddenly stopped, recognized the voice, and walked in the direction.
The old dog at the door of the small intestine Chen just now was lying on the cold ground, his eyes were gloomy, and it was already on the verge of dying, beside it, a black puppy, waiting to be fed, with a small mouth, barking miserably!
Does it know that its mother is leaving?
Just now, the old dog couldn't wait to come back with food in his mouth, wasn't it just to feed his own children?
"Childe, who are you?"
Meng Yan took off his coat, walked over, wrapped the little black dog, put it in his arms, and said to the old dog: "Don't worry, I will raise your child and let it grow up healthily, you can go with peace of mind!" ”
The old dog suddenly had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and then slowly closed his eyes.
She has made her wish, claiming that what she has insisted on until now is the love for her children, and dogs are still like this, let alone people?
"Lao Cai, come back in a while and find a place to bury it!" Meng Yan commanded without sadness or joy.
"Yes, Childe!"
The puppy probably knew that he was leaving his mother, and writhed restlessly in Meng Yan's arms, making a sad chirping, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Xiao Hei, I will call you Xiao Hei in the future, you must not live up to your mother's love, you must survive!" (To be continued......)
