Chapter 192: Witnessing
Xiao Peixi glared at the dog man and woman, and the feelings were for Bai Yiyi? Okay, there is no one in this army, you two must just take the opportunity to be reluctant, it's really shameless. Seeing Bai Yiyi's pitiful appearance, he was not angry, he must have played the piano for Wei Yi in the past two days, and hooked the person back.
This surname Wei, which one do you like, don't be a day and night, make the palace turn around, and you will become too fast! But how can this palace allow the two of you to have wishful thinking! He opened his mouth and said: "General Wei is the general of this palace, and the task is to protect the safety of this palace, where the palace is, you should be there, how can you not go!" ”
"The eleventh martial arts are strong, and they will definitely be able to protect the second princess thoroughly, and there are already forty guards accompanying them, so the second princess can rest assured. The last general stays in the army, and there are still military affairs in his body, and the management and placement of the 20,000 army still need to be handled by the last general. Wei said that he was neither humble nor arrogant.
Hum! The second princess pointed at Bai Yiyi: "This palace is still lacking a small servant to serve in Guangling City this time, so you can go with the palace to get in the car and go with you," with a sharp expression: "Hugh has to disobey!" ”
"The princess is the body of a daughter, and the slave is a small servant, how can she ride with the princess. Besides, there is a difference between men and women, for the sake of the princess's reputation, the slave is difficult to obey. Bai Yiyi saluted, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
Hongchan tugged at Wei Chukang's sleeve, and the two stepped aside, "Master, there is a message from the front, Duan Hao drove the homeless people in the city out of the city overnight, and stayed with the homeless people in the west of the city. A notice was issued in the west of the city that there would be porridge relief this evening, and houses would be built outside the city to live with the displaced people temporarily. But we saw that the hastily dug pit did not look like it was laying a foundation, it was too deep. Wei Qikang nodded, his expression darkened: "Send more people to observe secretly, and report something." ”
Wei took a step forward: "After thinking twice, I feel that the second princess is reasonable, and protecting the princess's comfort is the first priority of the last general, and this time the last will walk with you." Xiao Peixi was overjoyed when he heard this, but Bai Yiyi was dumbfounded, and reached out to pull Wei Shikang's sleeve, but he turned around and dragged it empty.
Ni Xiaoye pulled Puhui to retreat silently to the side, and said in a low voice: "This is not right, Wei Qikang didn't plan to go, but after talking to Heru, he changed his mind, Heru is a scout in front, I estimate what the situation is, let's be careful in everything after entering the city." You are with Xiao Peixi, try to restrain her and don't be a demon, I will find an opportunity to explore the situation. Pratt & Whitney nodded: It's so exciting......
The two got into the carriage of the second princess, and the frame moved slowly. Seeing these two strange outfits, Xiao Peixi wanted to say that it was not lucky at all to dress as if he was mourning, but he didn't dare to speak because of Xiao Ye's identity as a national teacher, after all, this is a national teacher named by his father, and it is said that the calculation is extremely accurate, so it is not easy to offend. Suddenly, his heart moved: "Xiao Ye Guoshi, I heard that you take a test every day, and you have a test every day, can you have a chance to get a test in this palace today?" ”
"Nope." Pratt & Whitney decisively refused, he would test a fart. The second princess was stunned for a moment, so direct, and curious: "I don't know who is so lucky today to get Xiao Ye's national teacher?" ”
"It's none of your business." Pratt & Whitney is cold. The second princess choked, it turned out to be a hard stubble, and she closed her mouth a little sneering. This Xiao Ye Guoshi is here, and she can't tell Jiang Li anything, so she can only sit silently, and secretly glance at Huansha.
was made a fuss by Xiao Peixi, and it was already past noon when the guard of honor arrived at the east gate of Guangling City, but the second princess did not enter the city, she looked at this short city gate and muttered in her heart, and ordered to go in after lunch on the spot, who knows if the food in this county town will be dirty and unpalatable.
A group of officials and ordinary people could only wait for the princess to eat in the same place under the big sun. By the time she had eaten and drunk enough and had her face up, it was already time for Shen to move, and the carriage set off slowly and entered through the east city gate.
Duan Hao led a group of officials and people from the yamen to greet each other, so naturally they bowed and patted the horses without mentioning it. Jiang Li lifted a corner of the car curtain and observed carefully, something was wrong! Although the people are present, but the acting skills are really poor, how can there be the joy and respect that really exudes from the heart, but it is shrouded in sorrow and resentment, although it makes them wait for an hour and a half, but here is ancient times, the common people's kind of incomprehensible Ni Xiaoye's idea of loyalty to the sky is deep-rooted, seeing the emperor is like seeing a fairy, and seeing a princess is considered to be seeing a fairy. This attitude is really unusual, and it seems that there is an article in this Guangling City.
Just thinking about it, he was dragged by Huansha: "Jiang Junjun, you and the maidservant, the princess has a good thing to reward you." Saying that, he took Jiang Li out of the carriage, Wei Qikang glanced at Hongchan, and Hongchan immediately dismounted and followed in front of Jiang Li: "Huansha, everything you need to obey the command when you enter the city this time, and you must not act without permission, where are you going to take Jiang Junjun to?" ”
Huansha had already thought of a statement: "The princess told the maid to help buy some things for her daughter's family, Jiang Junjun also needs to go with the maid, if you are not at ease, you can come with us." "Saying that, squeeze Jiang Li's hand, she just said that the princess will be rewarded, and Jiang Junjun naturally has to follow her words if he wants to benefit." Right. Ni Xiaoye was planning to find an opportunity to break away from the large army to find out the news.
"The slave is with you." Hongchan stood beside Jiang Li, clinging to her. "Okay." Ni Xiaoye agreed, if there is really something, it would be good if she could help her, but if there is any big thing, she may need the help of the Suhe army, and she will not feel very good after entering the city, there is a ...... Dead air!
With her hands behind her back, Hongchan gestured to Su Hejun and left the convoy with Jiang Li.
"Jiang Junjun, the princess's marriage this time represents the face of the royal family, and you can't disgrace our Da Yin country in your clothes as a marriage messenger, the princess has always treated you very well, so this time I specially asked the slave maid to take you to buy it, and I promise to dress you up decently."
Ni Xiaoye: What kind of royal face do you have!
Heru: I think the young lady is beautiful in rags, and besides, the master is very blind.
The three of them walked two streets, and Huansha was pleasantly surprised: "Look! There is a treasure house here! This small broken county is much more dilapidated than she imagined, and the small streets are narrow but I didn't expect that there is a treasure Zhai, although the area is not as good as the eleventh of the capital, but the treasure Zhai is famous for being a treasure and expensive goods, and it will not lose money if it opens here.
"Let's go in here and take a look." Huansha said, Jiang Li nodded, and the three of them stepped into the store.
Ni Xiaoye is also a little strange, what is the approximate price of Zhenbao Zhai's goods She has seen it, looking at the size of the county and the clothes of the people, whether they can afford it is a question mark, took off the hood and looked around, it is not a bargain, and there are many quality and styles that are also sold in the capital.
The shopkeeper was stunned when he saw Jiang Li's dress, but he didn't dare to slack off when he saw that the two maids beside her were dressed extraordinarily. Hurriedly greeted each other: "I don't know what you young ladies want to see today?" ”
"Finished clothes and jewelry," Huansha replied first, "Okay, please, second floor." The shopkeeper is very attentive and kind, and they still choose it slowly after taking a lot of it, of course, it is Huansha who is choosing, and Jiang Li is "not qualified" to choose it herself.
"Shopkeeper, isn't your store doing very well, I like some jewelry and clothes are also the most fashionable styles in the capital." Ni Xiaoye tentatively spoke.
"Thanks to everyone's help, this business is not bad." The shopkeeper replied with a smile, and took advantage of Huansha to pick up Ni Xiaoye and consider a few more questions, knowing in his heart that Duan Hao of this county is a big corrupt official. And before she entered the store, she noticed that the two little guys who were sweeping at the front door were not ordinary thin, and there were knife wounds on their faces, which were the homeless people who were accidentally leaked in the shopkeeper's words. Carefully recall the map, if there are homeless people going east, this Guangling City is an important stop, but the number of homeless people in this city is too small. Where did all those people go? In the west of the city! Just go and see if the West Gate is closed.
The price of Zhenbao Zhai is really not cheap, Huansha picked a golden hairpin for herself and took Jiang Li out of the store, or find a cheap store, so that she can get more silver. As for Jiang Li, how can she wear such an expensive thing, just an orphan girl, as long as she is coquettish enough, and men can't tell whether the clothes are good or not, they all have to be taken off anyway, don't waste money.
Jiang Li intentionally or unintentionally arranged for Huansha to go west, and Huansha was also very satisfied, the things here were much cheaper. The west gate is indeed closed, and the latch is covered with a layer of iron sheet, which is very new, and there should have been a conflict here. Then a large number of displaced people should be blocked out of the city. However, it is inconvenient to have Huansha now, and Ni Xiaoye plans to find out after dark.
"Jiang Junjun, these are the clothes I picked for you, you try the size." Ni Xiaoye looked at the dress selected by Huansha, tsk, this thought is too obvious, Tang E has many such styles. "No need, Huansha is discerning, I will know the right one when I look at it." She wasn't going to wear it anyway. "It's hard work today, are you tired, if you're tired, let's go back to the county government first." Jiang Li said thoughtfully.
Being asked like this, Huansha felt that she was tired and hungry, where did she walk so many roads on weekdays, and she forgot to walk around here, "I'm really tired, so let's go back quickly." After leaving the store, he looked around: "Why haven't you seen a carriage today?" ”
Jiang Li smiled: "Today, the princess is driving, the horses and sedan chairs in the city are forbidden, we still have to walk back." Huansha immediately made a bitter face, so far away! Only then did she notice that the group had gone to the west of the city. Turning to Hongchan, he said, "You go and ask General Wei to send a carriage to pick us up, I really can't walk." ”
"No, General Wei ordered me to protect Jiang Junjun, I can't leave her!" Hongchan refused. "It's safe here, we didn't even see a beggar along the road, what is there to protect, you go quickly!" Huansha was a little impatient. Jiang Li squeezed Heru's hand: "Otherwise, I'll go back with her, and you're waiting here for General Wei's carriage to pick you up?" ”
"Huh? Leave me here alone? I don't want it, it's too dangerous for me to be a woman in this strange place! Huansha objected, and Ni Xiaoye pointed to the road: "There is a restaurant over there, why don't you wait there while eating?" It's almost dinner time, aren't you hungry? We'll send a car to pick you up soon, less than a meal. ”
Huansha touched her stomach, she was really hungry after walking all afternoon, and her heart was a little tangled. Suddenly, his hands tightened and his eyes lit up! She still has more than 10,000 taels of silver tickets left in her hand, and no one will look at her as soon as these two people leave, she can run! If she didn't run away, she could also rely on Jiang Li, saying that she abandoned her and bullied her, and kidnapped her in order to retaliate against her. So he pretended to be dissatisfied and nodded: "Then you guys as soon as possible, I'm very scared alone." Ni Xiaoye patted her on the shoulder soothingly: "Go ahead, we'll be fast." ”
After Huansha entered the restaurant, Ni Xiaoye said to Hongchan: "Heru, I think there is something strange in the city, and I want to go out of the city to have a look." Are you going back or are you coming with me? Hongchan was stunned, Miss was so keen! It's amazing! Grabbed her arm: "Of course the slave is with you." ”
Ni Xiaoye poked her head: "Don't call yourself a slave, what's your name?" ”
"Hongchan", Hongchan lowered her head a little embarrassed, "What are you doing in the army?" Ni Xiaoye was a little curious.
"Scout!"
Ni Xiaoye raised his eyebrows: "Then you are quite powerful, you have already visited this territory before, what is the situation?" ”
Hongchan touched her head, Miss, don't be too smart, okay. After thinking for a moment, he still shared all the information about Wei Qikang. The matter was more serious than she thought, "Then let's go out of the city now." "Ni Xiaoye said." Right now? The gates are closed. Ni Xiaoye looked at the city wall not far away: "Can't you go up?" ”
"I can!" Hongchan can't be ashamed, this city wall is not high.
"Good! Come with me. Ni Xiaoye took Hongchan to a secluded place under the base of the city wall, where two soldiers were squatting in the shade of the wall and chatting. took off his hood and walked over slowly: "Two little brothers," Ni Xiaoye's voice was sweet, and the two soldiers looked up, oh my God, what kind of fairy is this, they stood up excitedly, and looked obscene: "Girl, what do you want from the master?" ”
"I'll borrow your clothes for use." After finishing speaking, the two knives with Hongchan rose and fell, and the two men fell. Ni Xiaoye changed into clothes, touched the ashes on his face, kicked the wall with Hongchan, and lay on the city tower, although he was already prepared in his heart, he was still quite shocked. Outside the city, there was a large area of Wuyang, full of gathered displaced people, and the number was probably no less than 3,000. Hongchan pointed to the distance: "That's the pit they dug, it's deeper than what I saw the day before yesterday." ”
Ni Xiaoye followed what he was pointing at: "This is what the corpse is for, the magistrate of Guangling City is really crazy!" Looking at Hongchan: "You said before that the notice was going to give porridge tonight, and you were going to kill so many people, and there would be poison in this porridge." Hongchan was shocked: "They must be stopped!" ”
Ni Xiaoye nodded: "This matter can't be known to the displaced people, otherwise so many people may cause civil unrest, and the suffering people can't be suppressed by force." Let's go back quickly, you inform General Wei of this, find where the poison is, and the people still have to drink the porridge. It's not a good thing that so many displaced people get together, and we have to distribute food and pay to divert them to other places, and I have to find a way to open a warehouse to release grain. ”
"Is it feasible to directly let General Wei give the order to open the granary?" Hongchan said.
"No, General Wei is a marrying general rather than a Qin Patrol, and he is not a direct official in charge of Gyeonggi, so it is not appropriate to directly meddle in the actions of local officials, otherwise the emperor will have ideas. Besides, I think that with Duan Hao's corrupt attributes, this granary is estimated to be greasy, so I'll do it. ”
Hongchan felt that the young lady was so good, and nodded as if the chicken pecked rice: "I'll go and report to the general immediately!" ”
