Chapter Thirty-Four: Running for My Brother and the Masa-faced Man
In the afternoon, the city of Tokyo is quiet and serene after a long day of noise and noise.
At this time, I saw a sneaky man, sneaking into an inconspicuous deep alley, knocking on the innermost house with a courtyard, and not forgetting to look around when he entered the door, very cautious. After confirming that there was no one, he was relieved to enter the door.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the man took a look at the person who opened the door, and saw that the big man without eyebrows, who had not spoken all day and looked very terrifying, was playing fists and feet in the courtyard. The man who had just entered the door stepped forward and shouted respectfully: "Master Jiao!" The big man who was about to practice martial arts nodded, and then he gently stepped forward and knocked on the door, only to hear a voice inside: "Come in!" ”
Na Han hurriedly pushed open the door, walked in, and reported to the people inside: "Officials, as a few days ago, those people from the palace marshal's mansion refused to relax at all, we have been investigating for five or seven days, and these people are always guarding the front and back of Zhang Jiaotou's house, and they will not leave for a moment." If it's like this, how can it be good? ”
The scholar who was sitting in the room flipping through the ancient scrolls looked up at the comer, and said calmly: "No hurry, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, and the guard will definitely be relaxed that night, even if these people do not go home for the New Year, I also have my own way, don't worry!" ”
"No hurry, no hurry! It's still a clever official! The man laughed and patted his ass.
I saw the scholar put down the scroll in his hand, looked at the man and said, "Zhang San, have you really thought clearly?" Coming with us that night? ”
It turned out that the person who entered the door was Zhang San, a street rat who had served Wang Lun, and more than ten of them did not want to take the money that day, so they had to listen to Wang Lun's words. Wang Lun informed these righteous Jingshi of his intention to return Lin Chong's family.
When everyone heard this, they all expressed their willingness to help on the spot, and Wang Lun rewarded everyone with the twenty taels of gold, just as compensation for Lu Zhi's suffering. Everyone took it happily, these twenty taels of gold are worth two hundred yuan, and each person has more than ten cents!
Wang Lun asked them to rent a private house for the next few days in Beijing. Where is it rare to live with these local snakes in this trivial matter? It didn't take long to pay the errand and rent this very secluded and spacious house. And the three only told the host's family that the foreign scholars wanted to rent a house and take the exam, and posted the money themselves, and paid the house for half a year happily, where did the landlord suspect, and never came again after handing over the keys.
Wang Lun saw that these people were neat and righteous, so he had the heart to solicit them. After all, there is only one light pole Jiao Ting by his side, and many things are inconvenient. So after observing these people for a few days, he was still satisfied, so he asked questions.
I saw that Zhang San's neck was raised, and he said loudly: "I really can't stay in this Tokyo, but I don't have a small family, I can't eat the whole family for one person, I am willing to follow the officials, and I will go to the ends of the earth!" ”
Wang Lun saw that he was commendable, and in line with the principle of not using suspicious people and employing people, he smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here, I don't hide it from you, I am not a foreign owner, and Lin Jiaotou is not a guest in my village." I am actually the leader of Yangsuibo on Jeju Road, and the head of the Lin sect has joined me there, do you dare to go now? ”
Zhang Sanyi heard it and said urgently: "I am willing to go, I am willing to go!" As long as the official doesn't think that I Zhang San has no ability, I, Zhang San, will follow the official in the future! Fire and water do not avoid, do not abandon it! If you have two hearts, you dare to make me die a good death! ”
Wang Lun waved his hand and said, "So you will be a henchman under me!" After speaking, he got up and took out a large ingot of fifty taels of silver, handed it to him, and said, "You have the right to spend these days, and you have collected the house money!" ”
Zhang San saw this and wanted to shirk it, Wang Lun just didn't allow it, Zhang San couldn't do it, so he had to accept it, looking at Wang Lun's happy smile, he suddenly heard Wang Lun say again: "This news must not be leaked, you first ask Li Si what he thinks, if he is also willing to go up the mountain, you can tell one or two, and the others will wait until the matter is over, and then ask them what they mean, if you have the heart, you can go up the mountain with me!" ”
Zhang San nodded again and again, and said: "I will follow the instructions of the officials, but my brothers are all righteous, and some of the mentally weak ones have been beaten away by Gao Yu, I think everyone is willing to follow the officials!" ”
Wang Lun nodded, and said: "When you have nothing to do, learn more from Jiao Tou, so as not to hate less until you use it!" ”
Zhang Sanxi said: "I saw that Jiao Ye's methods were not like ordinary tricks on the rivers and lakes that day, and my heart was very itchy, and I wanted to ask for advice at that time, but I was afraid that Jiao Ye would not teach!" ”
Wang Lun said with a smile: "You have eyesight!" That's the secret of Jiao Touling's family to pass on the son and not the disciple, where can ordinary people get it? When you go up the mountain in the future, I will ask him to watch and teach you a few hands, so that you will not make a fool of yourself and fall into the majesty of my Liangshan! ”
Zhang Sanyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him.
After chatting for a while, Wang Lun asked, "In this Bianliang City, where is there a big bazaar selling medicinal materials and iron tools?" ”
This asked Zhang San's pride, he has been fighting on the streets all the year round, how can these things be unclear, just listen to him: "Coincidentally, only not far from here, there is a market, in which there are many old shops of wealthy merchants gathered, and the head office of Jishitang, the first time-honored brand of our Beijing pharmacy, is opened inside, and the officials have nothing to go to see!" ”
In this rented yard, he lived in the courtyard for more than six or seven days, either reading or reading, Wang Lun was already tired, thinking that it was better to choose a day than to hit the sun, so he went out and called Jiao Ting, and asked Zhang San to lead the way in front and go out together. Along the way, he saw a lot of famous foods in the capital, and Wang Lun was interested, so he took Jiao Ting to eat all the way.
Now that Zhang San is leading the way, there will naturally be no omissions. I saw what the Li family's quail dumplings, the Zhou family's mutton fat leek cake, the Wang family's offering cake, and the Qian family's red boiled ginger bean, so that Wang Lun and the others kept sitting down and tasting, eating Jiao Ting, this barbarian with a mouth full of oil, still calling it delicious, and still wanting to eat!
Wang Lun took pity on him for being in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and this mouth basically didn't enjoy any happiness with him, so he just ordered food at the price of running water. Zhang San also followed the light, although he is a native of Beijing, just because his hands are not very rich, it is estimated that it is the style of the Riguang clan, so it is impossible to eat every day. Seeing that Wang Lun didn't want money, these two people were not polite, they just cared about feasting, gobbling up, and eating until they had a big belly, and then they stopped.
It is said that the three of them walked all the way, ate all the way, and came to a specially opened market later. Zhang San led the way in front, and Wang Lun took Jiao Ting into this century-old pharmacy called Jishitang, there were really many customers inside, and the guys in the pharmacy kept going in and out, receiving orders and taking medicines, and they were so busy.
Seeing this situation, Wang Lun was not in a hurry, and saw that there was a seat for guests to rest in the store, so he stepped forward to sit, Jiao Ting and Zhang San did not sit on a stool, they were all standing behind Wang Lun and waiting.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was busy and saw that these three people were doing something, and he felt different, and saw that Wang Lun had an extraordinary bearing, and the two entourages were also presentable, so they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly came out of the closet to greet them, and called Xiao Er to serve tea.
After talking about some gossip such as the long-term admiration of the fortunate meeting, Wang Lun said: "Old shopkeeper, how many flavored medicines do you have in this pharmacy?" ”
The shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately replied: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, my pharmacy has opened stores in Tokyo since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and now there are branches in various places. The small shop doesn't dare to say that it has the most complete medicines, but I don't have the medicines here, and even if I go to 300 military states, I can't necessarily buy them! ”
Wang Lun smiled when he saw this, and said, "Can you take a look at the list of drugs?" ”
When the shopkeeper saw it, he was quite embarrassed and looked embarrassed, so he only said that the catalog was not in the store, which was really embarrassing.
Wang Lun saw that he was a little misunderstood, and said with a smile: "I don't know if your store has a branch in Jeju?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's not far from the east gate!" I don't know what the guest officer commands? ”
Wang Lun nodded and said: "I remember that there are more than 400 flavors commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, so you can directly divide the medicines in your store into two parts, I want 100 catties for each flavor of common medicines, and 300 catties for rare drugs per flavor, and transport them to this address in Jeju!" I will pay the travel expenses at that time, as long as the medicine is real, it is indispensable to deal with you again! ”
After speaking, Wang Lun took out a piece of paper with the address of the Zhufu Hotel and handed it over, the old man took it and said busily: "It's all in Jeju City, since it's not far away, I don't dare to ask the guest officer for the travel fee, I only transport the medicine that the Jeju branch lacks together, and then ship it from the branch, the guest officer will see how it is!" ”
Wang Lun nodded, motioned to Jiao Ting to take out two hundred taels of gold, put it on the table, and said to the shopkeeper: "This is only the fixed money, and the rest will be paid when it is in the place!" The head office branch does not talk about it, but it is necessary to ensure the quality of medicinal materials! Wang Lun has never asked the price, since this century-old store has a branch in Jeju City, he is not afraid that he will be cheating and cheating, if there is any problem in the future, he will be able to run the monk and not be able to run the temple.
The shopkeeper repeatedly made a guarantee, asked Wang Lun to sit for a while, and hurriedly ordered, and after a while, he returned to serve tea to Wang Lun, and suddenly heard Zhang San say on the side: "The shopkeeper, such a scale of business, at least tens of thousands of dollars, my family officials don't ask the price, it is to consider your good reputation, but you can't help but express it!" ”
The shopkeeper heard that he was a local accent, and saw him behaving in a style, and guessed that he was from the capital, and immediately comprehended it, and arched his hand to Wang Lun and said: "Many of the trust of the distinguished customers, the small shop has a clear real price of medicinal materials, and the amount of expensive customers is so large, so the small shop will only sell it on the basis of the purchase price, even if the guest officer does not ask, the small shop will also operate like this!" After speaking, he bowed his hand to Zhang San and said: "The noble person is free, but please turn around, the small shop has a meager gift!" "It seems that Zhang San is regarded as a broker.
That Zhang Sanyi hurriedly said: "Only this is my master, didn't your old man use me as an errand boy?" Look at what I look like! I'm a high-class person now......"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he muttered in his heart, "I've never seen anything like this!" He apologized again and again, only asked the three of them to wait, went into the counter and took out an old ginseng wrapped in red silk, and said: "This is a treasure ginseng that my family used to buy back from Liaoguo, and I have been reluctant to use it, and now I will give it to the officials, and I hope that the officials will take care of the business in the future." ”
Wang Lun smiled and asked Jiao Ting to take the old ginseng, nodded to Zhang San, talked to the old man again, took the deed paper, and left. Along the way, Wang Lun praised Zhang San a few words, and made him smile with joy. While talking and laughing, the three of them came to a large blacksmith shop, and saw that this place covered a very large area, and there were only thirty or fifty blacksmiths naked under the shed, sweating like rain and striking iron there. The three of them were watching, and suddenly saw a man who walked out with his head bowed bumped into Jiao Ting, and Jiao Ting pushed this person easily. This person suddenly fell to the ground, only to see that his eyes were red and tearful, and he struggled to be right with Jiao Ting.
Jiao Ting was amazed and said straightly: "That man, if you only fall once, how can you cry!" ”
Someone in the blacksmith shop smelled the movement, hurriedly came over and hugged the man, and someone who knew something stepped forward and said: "Don't blame the guest officer, this brother has the hatred of breaking the family on his back, and this time he came to borrow money from my acquaintances, don't be surprised!" If you want to buy iron, please go inside! ”
Wang Lun saw that this man's face was a little numb, not like an ordinary person, so he only asked, "What is your surname, man?" Why is this happening? ”
The man saw that Wang Lun was extraordinary, as if he had an identity, so he took his anger and no longer cared about Jiao Ting, but said: "The villain's surname is Tang Minglong, and he was only imprisoned for his brother's injustice. ”
