Chapter 59: A Trip to Xiangzhou (3)
Listening to the words of the shopkeeper, several people were taken aback, but their faces made a casual look, Li Yu asked lightly:
"This is strange, how can a person who runs a silk village have a relationship with the imperial court?"
I was expecting to get something out of the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper didn't know if he really didn't know or didn't dare to say it, so he waved his hand again and again, and the people who patrolled the street were coming soon, and they wanted to close the store and take inventory. After Imperial Physician Zhang, who accompanied him, reminded Li Yu that there were a few suspicious people on the street, Li Yu had to ask where the largest inn was, and left in a hurry.
Wu Ciyou asked in a low voice if he wanted to take the path and get rid of the few people who followed him, but Li Yu shook his hand and ordered:
"Walking on the street, how arrogant and how to walk."
This matter is really not difficult for these emperors to guard at all, and pretending to be grandsons and letting others pretend to be grandsons is their forte. Rampage on the streets of Xiangzhou, knocked over a few stalls that were too late to clean up and threw out a few bags of money, a few people followed the direction of the boss to the largest inn in Xiangzhou City, but a few people did not stay in the largest inn, but immediately came out again, looked for a circle and lived in a slightly smaller but very high-grade inn not far away, when I found this inn, the curfew in Xiangzhou had passed half an hour.
I have to say that the city of Xiangzhou is tightly defended, and some people have been watching them since they entered the city, until they saw them enter the inn and put out the lights, and then returned to their yamen to report. Originally, the spies of the imperial court were found, and the officials in Xiangzhou were very vigilant, but I heard that a few people ate dinner in a mutton soup shop and stayed in an inn of not low grade, so the head catcher said:
"Just keep an eye on them, don't mess with them. These people are rich men who like to taste something fresh. Don't mess with them, these people won't be without friends in the city. See, tomorrow they will be going to visit the adults. At most, we can count on them to give them a few pennies when they go out of town, and don't think about anything else. Besides, although the soldiers and horses have become sick cats, the newcomer is not a good stubble, and it is better to cause less trouble. The businessmen who came to Chengde can think about it. โ
Originally, Li Yu and their plan was to go to Ruifu Silk Village to settle down in the name of auditing accounts, and then take advantage of the night to go to Tianxing Mansion to pay a visit, since the Silk Village has been exposed and seized, and their own collection has also been discovered, they simply arrogantly, turn darkness into light, and go to see Tian Xing with great fanfare, maybe it can have a miraculous effect. This is the inspiration that Li Yu got from watching the movies of the underground party when he was a child, and it turns out that the underground party really has a set, or that human nature has been the same for thousands of years, and Li Yu and they spent this night safely.
Early the next morning, Li Chen's carriage departed from the inn, and stopped and started again in front of several large shops in Xiangzhou in the sight of the watchers, and each time there would be more valuables in the carriage, and the people who watched it had to admire the old head catcher, and this admiration reached its highest value when the carriage finally stopped at the back gate of the old Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion, that is, the main gate of Tianxing's mansion. The information returned even made the head catcher admire the poisonous eyes he had cultivated in his decades of public career, and he was glad that he did not choose to do a vote for foreign merchants as before, whether it was the governor who visited (Tian Xing, because of another stroke, Tian Xing has been transferred to the fictitious position of the governor of Xiangzhou, of course, Montaigne Ji'an's "care", the original position of the soldier and horse envoy is still retained) or the new assassin from Weizhou, it is not something he can afford to offend. Of course, the number of people who are watching has quietly decreased. The attention of the head catcher was also on the news that the big boss of Ruifu Silk Village had just come from other states to go to Xiangzhou.
However, the head catcher didn't expect that if he could hold on for a little longer, he might be able to find out, because Li Yu and their purchase and visit with such fanfare did not make the people of Tianfu very cold. After the prayer was handed in, the door of the Governor's Mansion was still closed. In the Governor's Mansion, Tian Xing's eldest son, Tian Bu, walked into Tian Xing's bedroom quickly with a prayer post, bowed through the curtain and said:
"Daddy, do you know a friend named Huang Xing?"
After Li Yu and they waited for a while, Tianfu's family came out with a prayer note and said:
"Gentlemen, my lord unfortunately had a stroke and could not be a director, and he is still asleep. The eldest prince has never heard of the name of this old man Huang (it is strange to have heard of it), such a valuable gift The eldest prince did not dare to accept it without authorization, the eldest prince said, please leave your address and return temporarily, and when the old man wakes up, he will naturally go back and invite you. โ
Li Yu's heart tightened, he came to visit Tian Xing with such fanfare, if he couldn't even enter the mansion gate, it would be strange if the people in Xiangzhou City didn't suspect it. Wu Ciyou was just about to shout loudly, but Li Yu had already spoken:
"I see, there is a Lao's old home. So go back, a certain was taken care of by General Tian when he was outside, so he heard that General Tian was seriously ill, so he immediately rushed to visit, and asked the old family to be sure to convey the eldest prince and General Tian. โ
After the old family agreed, Li Yu saluted the gate of Tianfu, turned around and left. The old courtyard was just about to close the door, Li Yu suddenly turned around and said:
"Old family, are you literate?"
The old family was stunned for a moment, and replied:
"I don't know. What do you ask me for? โ
Li recited "oh" and said along his topic:
"How is General Tian now?"
The old family shook his head and replied:
"Since my lord had another stroke a few days ago, he can't get out of bed, can't walk, and has less time to wake up, so let's go back early."
Duan Wenchang and the others were cold in their hearts, but Li Yu became more and more determined, and continued to ask:
"What kind of medicine does General Tian use every day?"
The old family replied:
"It's just a ยทยทยทยทยทยท I'm an outsider, how can I know! โ
Seeing that his hometown's face was slightly angry, Li Yu stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, as if he had made a big decision, and said:
"Let's go, in order to save General Tian, I still let it go. In the old hometown, there is such a prescription in his hand, and he met a monk in Zhongnan Mountain when he was traveling all over the world, saying that he was the disciple of Sun Simiao Immortal. When the priest saw that I was sincere, he gave it to me. A certain father-in-law also had the same symptoms as General Tian, and after using this medicine, he was really cured. The priest didn't allow me to give this prescription to others, and gave me four sentences, saying that only those who know the key can give it to him, and I think that General Tian is a blessed and wise man, and he should be able to understand it thoroughly. โ
Li Yu's father-in-law before crossing over really had a stroke, but the final result was not good. Where does this old house know? hesitated for a moment, or Sun Simiao's lethality was strong enough, and the old family asked a few people to wait and then went in to spread the word. The other people were still a little nervous, but Li Yu's heart had completely relaxed. Sure enough, not long after, the side door of the Governor's Mansion opened, and the old family invited Li Yu to enter. Leaving Wu Ciyou outside, Li Yu took Duan Wenchang, Li Xiaozhong and Imperial Doctor Zhang into Tianfu.
When he arrived at the living room, Tian Bu was already waiting, and when he saw that Li Yu was quite old, Tian Bu arched his hand and said:
"My father is hard to get up, and Tian Bu has never heard of the name, so he is slack, and I ask Mr. Huang for forgiveness."
Li Yu secretly praised Tian Bu for being educated, but he didn't return the salute, but just said:
"General Huang and Tian had a relationship a few years ago, and General Hetian hit it off at first sight, and General Detian helped solve a difficult matter. I heard that General Tian had unfortunately suffered a stroke, so he traveled thousands of miles to visit. โ
Then he said again the statement that the alchemist gave the prescription. Tian Bu listened and thought:
"Listening to this Huang Xing's accent, it looks like a Youzhou person, when has my father been to Youzhou in the past few years?"
Li Yu said that Tian Xing helped him solve a big problem, of course, referring to Tian Xing's entry into the court as Wei Bo's envoy two years ago, and helped him solve the case of Zhang Maozhao's son being bewitched by the fox fairy. Li Yu boasted about the efficacy of the medicine, but when he peeked over, Tian Bu didn't seem very anxious. Just waited for Li Yu to finish speaking, and said:
"This medicine is so magical, please take it out quickly."
Li Yu became more and more confident in his heart, showed a bitter smile, and continued:
Huang naturally thought, but this monk left four sentences, and only by breaking these four sentences can he give him the prescription, although Huang is bent on repaying General Tian, he does not dare to violate the rules. I still have to ask the eldest prince to guess. โ
Tian Evangelism:
"Then ask Mr. Huang to come down the road."
Li Chanted:
"Do you have pen and paper?"
Tian Bu then ordered someone to prepare pen and ink. Li Yu came to the front of the case and put pen to paper in sixteen words:
"Mountains and rivers are long
Each side is safe
Beautiful scenery
Immortal Blessing Forever"
This is what Li Yu thought about before he entered the door. Although his wrist strength was still insufficient when he wrote, Li Yu felt that he had written very well. He was self-absorbed here, but Tian Bu was very nerve-wracking over there, and he couldn't guess what it meant, or he didn't guess seriously, he looked at it a few times, thought for a moment, and said:
"It seems that my father is a person who is unblessed and unfatned, and I can't guess it. Mr. Huang, please go back. โ
Li Yu picked up the paper, blew the ink, and said:
"Childe doesn't have to be discouraged, Childe can't guess, why not ask the general to guess for himself?"
Tian Bu sighed:
"I also think about it, but it's a pity that my father can't wake up now. Why don't you ask Mr. to leave these four sentences for my father to wake up and guess again? โ
Li Yu laughed and said:
"The eldest prince laughed, where are you going to find Huang when the time comes? Huang said that this is reserved for people who are destined, and Huang believes that General Tian is a person who is destined, maybe as soon as this word comes to General Tian, General Tian will wake up? โ
