"My lord, what you played just now was really like, you looked like you were forced to be helpless, and you were in a great embarrassment, and finally had to tell them the clues you had." Out of the pavilion, Guo Xiaochao and Meng Yan walked side by side and quietly gave a thumbs up.
"If I take the initiative to sue them, they may not believe it." Meng Yan said with a smile.
"What I'm saying is that now that the clues and directions are given to them, it shouldn't be difficult to find people, right?" Guo Xiaochao said.
"Looking at Liang Song's table today, it is estimated that Xining will not trust him, let Wang Dong stare at Xiao Lizi." Meng Yan Road.
"Well, I understand, you want Liang Song to merge with Hu Sanniang?" Guo Xiaochao said.
"If Liang Song surrounds Hu Sanniang's people and we suddenly appear, what do you say?" Meng Yan asked.
"Liang Songming knew that Hu Sanniang was also with him, and he didn't dare to admit it, and he had to take people, while Hu Sanniang would think that Xining had deceived her, and Xining couldn't say it, haha, this meeting must be very interesting!"
"Huh." Meng Yan smiled slightly, although he couldn't calculate the East Factory, but with Black Tiger Mountain Hu Sanniang, this harvest is not bad.
At least it's better than returning at nothing.
Meng Yan and Guo Xiaochao are both traveling in cloth, and no one in this small Shilipu knows him, the famous "officialdom butcher", except for the fresh faces, the people here don't think the two are anything special.
Meng Yan's appearance is still the one that does not have many characteristics in the crowd, which is the basic condition for being a spy and agent, too handsome and too ugly. It's easy to be noticed wherever you go, so you don't have to do anything.
The public face is almost the same everywhere you go, and it is not easy to be remembered.
"Boss, how do you sell this dish?"
"The radish is three cents, and the cabbage is five. The others are all four-text. The middle-aged man who bought vegetables said enthusiastically.
"Do you grow all your own vegetables?"
"Look at what you said, these are all home-grown vegetables, but they are fresh!"
"Hehe, you boss, you are not honest at all, this radish and cabbage can be fresh in addition to the cellar last year?" Meng Yan said with a smile.
"Guest officer, do you want to buy it, don't buy it, please don't hinder my business?"
"Huh. You boss, I won't just say a few words, you are still angry, this businessman, and make money with harmony, I didn't find fault with your dish, you bombarded the guests first. Meng Yan said.
The big man who bought vegetables suddenly blushed in embarrassment.
"I see that you are shopping for groceries here, and few people patronize you. How much can you sell in a day? Meng Yan asked.
"Although there are a lot of people in Shilipu, more than half of them grow vegetables at home. Self-sufficient, I send some fresh vegetables to inns and restaurants every day, and then I sell them on the street, adding up to thirty or forty dollars a day. â
"Why don't you transport the vegetables to the capital and sell them, where the price of vegetables is much higher than here?"
"Guest officer, we have to walk here to the capital for at least one day. Then you have to pay taxes when you enter the city, and a cart of vegetables can be sold for three days at most, and it is faster when the weather is hot. It's better to earn more here, and you don't have to work so hard! "Buying groceries Dahan said.
"Well, I see." Meng Yan nodded.
"I said guest officer, do you still buy vegetables?"
"Buy, I've got all the dishes in your stall!" Meng Yan said, "However, we can't take these dishes, you help us send them to the pavilion and hand them over to a person named Leng Feng, and ask him to get the money, so I said that a son surnamed Meng bought it." â
"Medium, the villain will send it to you!" The vegetable buyer was overjoyed, and he yelled for a long time before he sold a few catties of vegetables, and all of them were sold at once.
"My lord, why are you buying so many vegetables, and we can't eat them?"
"If you can't eat it, you can just take it back, these dishes are very fresh, and it's not a big problem to put them for three or five days." Meng Yan Road.
"What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
"There's so much to do, let's do it one by one." Meng Yan sighed, although the big man who bought vegetables said that it was better to sell the vegetables directly in this small town than to transport the vegetables to the capital, that was his small business, if he went to large-scale operation, not only could reduce costs, but also increase circulation, once the quantity reached a certain level, quantitative changes would cause qualitative changes.
The daily consumption of vegetables by millions of people is an astronomical amount, even if only one-tenth of the market share is achieved, it is a great wealth.
It's just that this is not something that ordinary people can play, there must be people in the official road and the underworld, and there must be a large amount of money to invest.
In the Ming Dynasty, as long as you put your mind to it, you can always find a way to make a fortune, and of course, you must also have the ability to protect the wealth you have obtained.
Power, this is something you have to have, otherwise in the end, all your efforts will come to naught.
Along the way, Meng Yan always asked all kinds of questions by the roadside operators, which was quite a bit of a private visit.
In fact, Meng Yan did this, which was also a rare opportunity to understand the living conditions of the grassroots people in the Ming Dynasty.
These things may not be needed now, but they may not be needed in the future.
Ten miles is not big, Meng Yan and Guo Xiaochao walked in less than half an hour, if it weren't for the stop-and-go along the way, it is estimated that it would not take so long.
In addition to shopping, Meng Yan also bought a lot of things, his unfamiliar official dialect, and could squat on the ground to talk to ordinary people.
This is something Guo Xiaochao has never seen before, although he doesn't mean to look down on these low-level people, but if he is allowed to squat and talk with these people, he will eat what they handed over without any scruples.
He couldn't do that.
What these people never imagined was that the elated young man who squatted on the ground and told them would actually be a brocade guard, right?
I'm afraid that everyone is scared and doesn't dare to make a sound.
"Big ......"
"Shhh Guo Xiaochao stopped Yang Hong, who ran all the way.
"Instructor Guo, Wang Dong is back, in the pavilion, there is a situation, waiting for the adults to go back." Yang Hong whispered.
"Got it. We'll go back right away. Guo Xiaochao responded, "You go back first." â
Meng Yan saw Yang Hong and knew that something was wrong with the pavilion, so he ended the conversation and returned to the pavilion with Guo Xiaochao.
"My lord, there is a small temple called Wuding'an in the east twenty miles. Yesterday a woman was seen going up the mountain with a little boy, and then the woman was seen coming down alone, and the little boy was gone. â
"Who saw that?"
"A woodcutter in the mountains!" Wang Dongdao.
"What about people?"
"I'll let you wait somewhere down the mountain, my lord, let's go over quickly, if we find the child, it will be equivalent to finding Mrs. Tang." Wang Dong said anxiously.
"Well, this is indeed good news, inform Liang Song immediately. Let him gather the team, and let's go to Wudingan! Meng Yan ordered.
"My lord, you don't need to sue Liang Song, do you?"
"What do you know, since you are here together, you should be honest with each other, if you are even on guard against your own people, then what's the point?" Meng Yan reprimanded.
"Yes, sir!"
"Do you want to eat before you go? It was noon, and the brothers were hungry. Guo Xiaochao squeezed his eyes at Meng Yan and said.
"That's right. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, let the pavilion hurry up and cook, we will leave after eating! Meng Yan nodded and agreed.
"Master Meng, I heard that you have found a clue?"
"Yes, my officer's men are looking for a clue. Very valuable, I was about to go over and take a look, Liang Song, you also prepare it, after eating for a while. Just gather the team and go over together. Meng Yan said.
"Really, what's the clue?"
"That's the ......" Meng Yan leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"That's the case, it must be Mrs. Tang's mother and son, sure enough, you guessed it, adult, she deposited the child in the zĂ i nunnery and returned to the capital by herself!" Liang Song said excitedly.
"Without further ado, the museum has already ordered someone to cook, and we will leave for dinner after dinner." Meng Yan commanded.
"Okay, let's prepare." Liang Song walked away with an excited face.
"This Liang Song, must report the news of Xining?"
"Liang Song will not break with Dongchang yet, but there is no way to repair his relationship with Xining." Meng Yan muttered to himself.
The reason why Meng Yan chose Wuding Nunnery was arranged by Sai Xiaoyu, and the nuns who practiced in Wuding Nunnery were the palace maids beside Jingci Immortal Master back then.
They were released from the palace, they were all over 30 years old, and it was basically difficult to get married, and some of them couldn't even find their families.
Sai Xiaoyu built such a nunnery on an inaccessible hill on the bank of the Wuding River to accommodate these palace maids.
It's been almost ten years, and the oldest of these people is already in the age of sixties.
On the banks of the Wuding River, Wuding Nunnery, this name sounds like an unfathomable Zen.
Twenty years ago, Tang Sai'er, who was worshiped as the Holy Mother by the White Lotus Sect, rebelled in Qingzhou, and was later defeated by Wei Qing, the commander of the Shandong capital, and Tang Sai'er himself was missing.
Later, it was rumored that Tang Sai'er was arrested, paraded through the streets on a wooden donkey in public, and then executed by Ling Chi, but the White Lotus cultists did not think that their Virgin was captured and killed by the imperial court.
In order to arrest Tang Sai'er, tens of thousands of female nuns and female Taoist priests in the capital were arrested in the nunnery of Shandong and Taoist temples.
In the years that followed, nunnery and female Taoist priests in Beijing and Shandong were almost extinct.
And there are very few nunnery that can be preserved, and Wuding Nunnery is one of them.
When Sai Xiaoyu took over this nunnery, there were only three nuns in the nunnery, two of whom were over half a hundred years old, and one of them couldn't walk.
Later, Sai Xiaoyu secretly funded and successively renovated and expanded the nunnery, and placed the homeless palace maids who originally served her from Jingci Immortal Master here, and nearly 20 people were placed before and after.
Ten years have passed, the original three old nuns have passed away one after another, the current nunnery, is also the abbot, is the original Jingci immortal master next to the personal palace maid, the common name: Ning Mei, the law name: Jing Hui.
