Chapter 0408
Duan Fei returned home, thinking about how to find an excuse to push off tomorrow's date with Qingqing, Li Yuying walked into the study and said to him: "My lord, a girl named Xiao Dragonfly came over just now, saying that Qingqing girl has another trip tomorrow, and the date with the adult has been canceled." ”
Duan Fei smiled dumbly and said, "It's okay to cancel it, so that I don't have to worry about what tricks she will play to trick me." ”
Having said that, but there was still some discomfort in her heart, Li Yuying asked carefully: "My lord, it's noon now, is it time to eat?" ”
Duan Fei nodded and said, "Call everyone here and eat together in the hall." ”
Guan Xiaohan still did not appear this night, but the news from Zhu Yu showed that Guan Xiaohan had contacted him and gave Zhu Yu some information, Duan Fei immediately ordered Jinyiwei to strengthen the investigation, create enough momentum, and minimize the number of demon sect elements mixed into the capital, and at the same time secretly deployed, as long as there is conclusive news coming, he must concentrate on a thunderous blow, focusing on destroying the living force of the demon sect.
On the fifth day of the first month, Duan Fei and Zhengde met in Yiwenfang, and the first time they saw each other made the two smile, everyone is a celebrity, and they all wore makeup before coming, even if they are very familiar people, they have to look carefully for a while to recognize them.
To Duan Fei's surprise, there was also Princess Yongfu dressed as a man today, this was the first time Duan Fei saw Princess Yongfu after the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it seemed that after the baptism of the New Year, her mood was much better.
The cooperation between Zhengde and Duan Fei became more and more tacit, winning more and losing less, many opponents who came to challenge became the masters who came to send money, and after playing for a long time, Zhengde finally got enough of it, and went to listen to the music after leaving Yiwenfang.
Fanglan Garden is the most famous song garden in the capital, today there is a special performance of Xi Muqing, known as the first throat in the capital, Zhengde lined up to buy a ticket, and brought Duan Fei and Princess Yongfu to listen to the music, listening to it, Zhengde sighed, and said: "I seem to have heard this song somewhere." ”
The person in front of him turned around and said to Zhengde, "What's so strange about this? This song was created by Qingqing everyone, and there are many people in the world who sing it. ”
Duan Fei felt that the person was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he blurted out, "Are you ...... Haoyue Mountain people? I saw you during the Mid-Autumn Festival Jinling Flower Festival. ”
Haoyue Mountain people laughed and said: "That was a few centuries ago, I have already changed my name to the magic lamp, alas, I cherish Muqing, I regret Muqing, I thought how great this first throat in the capital was, but I didn't expect that she was just a toddler in Handan, I still be a little vulgar, catch up with Qingqing's singers in Taiye Pool, I will ...... go."
After this guy finished speaking, he left, leaving only Zhengde and Duan Fei staring at each other, Zhengde's eyes showed a look of anticipation, and he muttered: "Qingqing is really so good?" I must see it with my own eyes, Ah Fei, have you arranged it for me? ”
Duan Fei nodded, and said helplessly: "Qingqing, everyone has a song party on the eighth day of the new year, and I have already arranged it. ”
Princess Yongfu turned her head to Duan Fei and said, "I'm going too, Brother Fei, buy me an extra ticket." ”
Duan Fei's scalp was numb with a sound of Brother Fei's call, Duan Fei nodded and said, "No problem, although the tickets have already been sold out, it's a big deal to give you my ticket." ”
Princess Yongfu said in a coquettish voice: "Don't, eldest brother can't compete with Qingqing everyone, I want to see Feige show your might, and you can't find the north to win that Qingqing." ”
Many people turned their heads to look at Duan Fei and the three of them, their expressions were quite unfriendly, Duan Fei hurriedly said, "Shhh, don't talk, disturb others listening to the music." ”
Princess Yongfu quieted down at this time, but Zhengde lost interest in listening to the music, he stood up and said, "Sure enough, there is nothing good to hear, let's go." ”
Zhengde left Lan Fangyuan and went back to the leopard room directly, Duan Fei sent him back and returned to Beizhen Fusi, dealt with official business for a while, and suddenly saw Wang Zuo walk in with a letter, and saluted Duan Fei: "My lord, earlier the Beijing-Hangzhou Dart Bureau sent some things, and I rewarded the person who sent the things for the adult, and by the way, I checked it, these things are said to have been sent by He Hai, a friend of the adult, and I replied to the letter and asked the adult to open it in person." ”
Duan Fei's eyes lit up and said, "He Hai was my brother when I was in Baoying County, let's move all the things he sent." ”
Wang Zuo handed the letter to Duan Fei, then beckoned back, and the two of them walked into the house carrying a box of things.
Duan Fei tore open the envelope and asked, "Doesn't the person who sent the thing have any explanation?" ”
Wang Zuo shook his head and said: "What should be in the letter, the dart head who sent the things said that he knew the adults and wanted to see them, and I estimated that they had nothing important, so he said that the adults were busy and sent them away with twenty taels of silver." ”
There is only one piece of letterhead, there is not much content, and the handwriting is ugly, it should be written by He Hai himself, Duan Fei swept the letter away, and said: "This kid is developed, and he also greeted Shi Bin, and turned around and gave the letter to Shi Bin to see, by the way, there are only two or three darts I know, are they surnamed Yan?" ”
Wang Zuodao: "The surname is Yan, it seems to be two brothers, one is called Yan Wencheng and the other is Yan Wude, these two names are ......."
Duan Fei said with a smile: "They do recognize me, but I am more familiar with their father Yan Shiqi, you can arrange it and ask them to come to see me the morning after tomorrow." ”
Wang Zuo nodded and replied that it was no problem, Duan Fei asked them to open the box, and the box that they brought in was pried open, only to see that it was full of things wrapped in oilcloth.
Wang Zuo checked it and said, "My lord, it's all Western books and manuscripts, what's the use of these things?" ”
Duan Fei personally came to the side of the box, flipped through a few books, and replied casually: "It was Yasan who asked for the red-haired fireman from the Ordnance Institute, with these things, maybe it can help him research new firearms faster." ”
Wang Zuo nodded suddenly, Duan Fei personally carried the box to the armory to find the fire man Yasan, the fire man Yasan shouted in surprise when he saw this big box of books, no one could understand the chatter, the only thing he understood was that he kept complimenting: "Thank God, bless Lord Duan, there is no better New Year's gift!" ”
He immediately sat down on the ground, began to sort books and manuscripts, muttered to himself, as a missionary, he knew two or three European languages, and even if he didn't know the others, he could tell which language it was, and most of these books and manuscripts were Portuguese, because the eastern route was controlled by Portugal, followed by Spanish and Dutch, and it was the time when Spain and Portugal were vying for supremacy at sea, and Elizabeth I of England had not yet been born, and only after she took power did England rely on pirates to make a fortune and defeat the Spanish Armada, It was a long time before they fought with the Netherlands for decades and finally gained global maritime supremacy.
After a long time, Yasan, the fire man, stood up and said to Duan Fei: "My lord, most of these books are useless religious classics, and the only useful thing is the navigation diaries of these manuscripts, but unless the adults want to lead the fleet to sea, it seems that it is useless." ”
Duan Fei said unsurprisingly: "I know that there will be a lot of books sent in the future, you should find a place to put these books away first, maybe when you can use them." ”
He Hai's gift did not disappoint Duan Fei, this was just the beginning.
Time flowed without hesitation, Zhengde did not immediately make a decision on whether to dismiss the town guards or not, and Duan Fei secretly collected information on the illegal and criminal activities of the town guards in various places, in case of emergency.
On the eighth day of the first month, Qingqing met friends with songs in the school palace of Fuxue, and Zhengde occupied a good position, but what disappointed him was that Qingqing was criticized by courtiers at the banquet of the queen of heaven on the first day of the new year, so today she deliberately covered herself with a curtain, music has no boundaries, but the line of sight was blocked, so that Zhengde could not see her true face.
Although Zhengde heard Qingqing's singing voice and admired her piano skills, he finally left after sighing and convinced, Duan Fei's comfort didn't seem to have any effect.
Duan Fei felt a little uneasy from Zhengde's attitude, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, and returned home with a hint of boredom, but he heard that a Taoist priest had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Chief?" Duan Fei remembered this awkward name, wasn't it the Taoist priest who had predicted that King Xing would have a bloody disaster?
"I was looking for him." Duan Fei snorted coldly and strode forward.
Hearing the footsteps, the Taoist priest who was admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall in the living room turned around and said to Duan Feiji: "Poor Dao Xiaoyao, I have seen Lord Duan." ”
Duan Fei strode in front of him, looked at him carefully, but said lightly: "It turned out to be the famous Daoist of Xiaoyao, this official has been famous for a long time, I didn't expect to see it today, it is really a blessing, the Daoist suddenly descended, is it not for tomorrow's festival?" ”
At first glance, he looked like he was over fifty years old, but his beard was thick and black, the skin on his face was smooth and wrinkled, he seemed to be less than forty years old, his height was medium to thin, and there was nothing special about it, hearing Duan Fei's words, he stroked his beard and smiled: "Lord Duan is really smart, the poor Dao is here for tomorrow's festival, please Lord Duan raise his noble hand and spare those boys who don't know the height of the sky." ”
Duan Fei sneered: "Why? Could it be that the Taoist Master is going to give me a hexagram and warn me that I will not be able to participate in tomorrow's puja due to the disaster of blood and light? ”
Daoist Xiao sighed lightly and said: "Lord Duan descended from the sky, shining Ziwei, the general trend of the world changed accordingly, the poor Dao skill is shallow, how can he judge the good fortune of the adult?" I'm just trying to exchange a message for a promise from an adult. ”
Duan Fei's heart moved, and he finally paid attention to the inconspicuous Taoist priest in front of him, and he asked in a deep voice, "What news did the Taoist master bring?" If it's enough, I might think about it. ”
Daoist Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Does Lord Duan still have doubts about the Xingwang case?" As long as Lord Duan promises to give Poor Dao a face, don't disturb tomorrow's puja, Poor Dao will solve Duan's doubts, you must know that tomorrow is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, and Lord Duan will look at the Buddha's face if you don't look at the monk's face! ”
Duan Fei's eyes flashed, and he said, "Duan Mou listens to ......"
