Zhi Yaxuan's furnishings and equipment seem to be familiar, the red lacquered wood pillars on both sides are engraved with gold and shiny words, Zhang Erzhen didn't have time to take a closer look, and Xiao Er's smiling face appeared in front of him, "A few people look strange, today is the first time to come, where do you want to sit and listen to the book, the small one will be arranged for you." ”

"It's best where there are a lot of people, it's troublesome for the little second brother. Zhang Erzhen took out a tael of silver and handed it over, Xiao Er accepted it with a smile, and led the three of them to the second floor. There are indeed a lot of people on the second floor, neatly arranged in a circle of back chairs, around the small round table, like the layout of the Treasure Pavilion during the event, Zhang Erzhen only looked at it a few times and sat down, "A pot of high crushed, a few dishes is good." ”

"Wait a minute. Xiao Er went down, and You Gu came up and said, "There is not much time today, you are going to spend it here, what a waste of opportunity." ”

Zhang Erzhen smiled and didn't answer, pricked up her ears to listen to the talk at the next table, the place was really right, this teahouse is really the best place to collect intelligence (except for Hualou),

"What Miss Han wants to say today is today's ......" The scholar-like man cautiously lowered his voice and said to the students at the table: "...... Mr. Yi said that today's prince kills people like hemp, alchemy continues his life, and helps the six relatives to abuse, if this is the case, if the prince ascends the throne, it will be a disaster for our people......"

"The demon concubine is in trouble, the prince is ruthless, and the future of my Ming Dynasty is worrying......"

A bunch of people shook their heads and tasted tea, Zhang Erzhen thought in a trance that he had heard it wrong, but what was Zhu Youzhu talking about? This is public opinion...... Public opinion has always been terrible, Zhang Erzhen has seen the artists who committed suicide because of the negative news of public opinion in his previous life, and just listening to their remarks, Zhu Youzhu is an unpopular evil ghost. Don't underestimate the power of the people, Zhuangzi didn't say that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat.

Zhang Erzhen still wanted to continue listening, Xiao Er had already sent a pot of tea, and he was very attentive to help the three of them pour it. Zhang Erzhen saw Xiao Erlisuo's movements, and when she was about to thank her, Xiao Erzhen shook it, and the warm tea was poured on Zhang Erzhen. Xiao Er was busy apologizing, and Zhang Erzhen looked at the pale yellow tea stain on his leg and fell into deep thought.

"I'm really sorry for the guest officer, please come with me, and the little one will take you to tidy up. ”

You Gu said dissatisfiedly: "I can't pour a cup of tea, Zhi Yaxuan is like this...... You'd better go down and change your clothes, it's easy to get sick if you're so wet. ”

Zhang Erzhen shook his head and said: "Changing clothes will delay time, and it will be done in a while, so I can't trouble them." Zhang Erzhen sat firmly on the chair and did not move, but the little two on the side were nervous first, "Guest officer, you can come out with the little one and replace it, otherwise the little one is really uneasy, if the shopkeeper knows, the little one will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Zhang Erzhen smiled: "You guy is also strange, I won't go, you should be happy, why are you still so unforgiving, I just want to stay in peace for a while, you go down." Zhang Erzhen watched Xiao Er go down hesitantly, and You Gu also felt strange and asked: "There are so many people here, can he still pour tea next to him, I think he has a problem." ”

"It's not, it's still warm and it's weird. Zhang Erzhen lifted his robe and fanned it a few times, it was really uncomfortable.

"Then shall we wait for the storyteller to come out, or shall we go somewhere else?"

"Wait. Zhang Erzhen continued to listen to the movement next door with her ears pricked up, but the scholars next door no longer talked, and watched the tables and chairs placed at the barrier below, waiting for Miss Han to come out.

The time has come, and everyone began to urge, why hasn't Miss Han, who is usually on time, come out today. There was a commotion inside and outside the lobby, and suddenly it quieted down, Zhang Erzhen saw a slender woman holding a ring ruler and lightly lifting the lotus to the storyteller, the woman's eyebrows were clear, the corners of her lips were smiling, the originally restless environment between the eye waves slowly quieted down, and her thin voice resounded throughout Zhiyaxuan,

"Welcome to Zhi Yaxuan, today we don't tell the truth, only tell the story......"

Before the words fell, there was a sigh from the audience, "We came all the way to the capital, isn't Miss Han bullying us like this? ”

"That is, we are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it is okay to know some things about the capital, Miss Han is not beautiful to hide like this, Zhi Yaxuan has always been bold, why is he afraid now?"

"Miss Han, don't tell those stories, let's only talk about the capital today, how is the dragon body of our saint today, is there a basis for the prince's tyranny? Last year, the prince returned from the northwest to fight the little prince of Mongolia, and this time he changed his mind?"

Most of these people sitting around are full of gossip interest, and there don't seem to be many people who really care about the affairs of the family and country. Zhang Erzhen took one last look at Miss Han who looked like a light breeze below, and was about to leave, Xiangxiu followed and stood up, and You Gu also stood up neatly, "I haven't wanted to see it for a long time, these people are nonsense." ”

"They're not just talking nonsense, they're building momentum, and they seem to have premeditated. Zhang Erzhen raised her feet to leave, and Miss Han in the audience had already spoken: "The distinguished guests on the second floor, please stay, since they are acquaintances, let's talk about the past." Everyone was talking about who this person was in Miss Han's mouth, and Zhang Erzhen had already pulled Xiangxiu and You Gu into the crowd with their short bodies. The three of them have the advantage of not being tall, and the cat walks fast with his waist, but the unfortunate thing is that this is on the second floor, and the three of them can't get out of Zhi Yaxuan unknowingly, Miss Han has already blocked in front of everyone, she looked at Zhang Erzhen and smiled Yan Yan: "Girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”

Zhang Erzhen slowly straightened up, didn't look at the girl in front of her, she just looked at the teapot with curling green smoke on the table on one side and said indifferently: "I haven't seen you for a long time, it's better to see it again, it is said that no coincidence is not a book, but sometimes, this coincidence is always better than heaven." I'm busy today, I don't have time to gossip with you, so don't leave it here, and there will be no time in the future. Zhang Erzhen bypassed Miss Han and wanted to walk away, but Miss Han whispered in her ear: "Why does the girl think I am here, it's so easy to wait for you, if you let you go like this, he won't let me go easily." ”

Zhang Erzhen finally glanced at her squarely, and pondered: "So I'm here uninvited or ...... You're waiting for the rabbit?"

"Are you sure the girl wants to say it here?" Miss Han signaled to a lot of people around her, Xiangxiu had already stopped between the two of them first, You Gu saw the clue and said with a serious face: "Sure enough, this is not a good place, it is obviously a teahouse, and I am doing some unauthentic things behind my back, and the people I brought out will naturally be brought back, what do you want to do?!"

Zhang Erzhen learned from Miss Han's appearance and whispered in her ear: "Ruyue, don't come to harm......"

Ruyue stiffened and looked at Zhang Erzhen, and Zhang Erzhen said again: "...... No matter what you want to do, it has nothing to do with me, I hope Miss Han will ...... you Hehe, I can get my wish fulfilled. ”

"You're not coming with us?" Ruyue said, staring at her.

Zhang Erzhen shook his head and chuckled: "If you want to leave, why wait until today." ”

"Don't you regret it!" the moon-green veil rose and fell, and Zhang Erzhen could hear her angry gasps. Zhang Erzhen didn't care about much, and under the escort of You Gu and Xiangxiu, she went out of Zhi Yaxuan very smoothly. The crowd of onlookers was already unhappy, and shouted: "Miss Han, don't you want to talk about this book today?!"

Ruyue squeezed out a smile and replied, "It's unfortunate today, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish."

The shopkeeper in Tsing Yi said with a sad face: "Do you want me to send someone to stop her, so that the son will not be angry with you." ”

Ruyue said gloomily: "She will leave as soon as she goes, and I will talk about it when the son is there." ”

Zhang Erzhen breathed a sigh of relief when she came out of Zhi Yaxuan, and when she looked back at Zhi Yaxuan, she realized why this place was so strange, but time did not allow her to think about it anymore, "Let's go, let's go to the county government gate to have a look." ”

"What the hell are you trying to do when you're running around, we only have half an hour. You Gu is a very shrewd child, holding a bunch of food and looking at Zhang Erzhen with a wary face. Just now, he clearly felt that Miss Han wanted to take away Miss Zhang's thoughts, he had to be careful, and he couldn't let people run away.

"What do I want to do? Naturally, I just want to gossip a little more about how my prince is doing. After Zhang Erzhen finished speaking, he saw You Gu's wide eyes full of incredulity, Xiangxiu also looked at her stunned, Zhang Erzhen smiled: "So where should we go, should the county government go?"

"Are you...... Yougu first wanted to scream, but then suppressed his voice and was full of excitement, Zhang Erzhen didn't have time to talk to him in detail, and he didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, urging him to move forward. Xiangxiu was still stunned and looked at Zhang Erzhen, and almost hit a pedestrian, Zhang Erzhen pulled her and said as she walked: "There's nothing to say, don't look at me so sympathetically, I eat and drink well, there's nothing to be pitied." ”

You Gu coughed lightly and said, "That's what I said, but your identity ...... So what do you want to do in the county government to see when the crown prince will ascend the throne?

Zhang Erzhen glared at him and said, "Just go, what so much nonsense, you are a child, it is no good to know that." ”

The county government is generally on the street where the crowd is relatively dense, looking for a person to guide the way, and after a while, I saw the county office, and there were two catchers with long knives standing in front of the door, standing on one side and sounding the drum, which looked deserted.

"Look, nothing special. Zhang Erzhen muttered as she walked towards the place where the notice had been posted. The rough notice list is pasted with old news, and what can be seen clearly is a conscription notice, Zhang Erzhen took a closer look for a while and then leaned over to the catcher and asked: "This big brother, the court is still recruiting soldiers now, I don't know where to go to fight, see if I can go?"

The tall man quickly glanced at the short and delicate beautiful man in front of him with disdain, and said in a hoarse voice: "The court is fighting, what are you making a fuss about." That place in southern Yunnan, you haven't gone yet, it's possible to die halfway through. ”

Zhang Erzhen heard the clue, skillfully took out a silver ingot from his cuff and quietly stuffed it into the hand of the catcher, and flattered: "Big brother is good, tell me about it, I don't have any other interests, I'm interested in our war." ”

The tall man glanced at his companion on duty opposite, the two exchanged glances, and said to Zhang Erzhen: "You come with me." ”

Zhang Erzhen pulled Xiangxiu and Yougu to follow, and a few people turned around to a secluded place, and the tall man quickly grabbed the silver and said: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask, you are outsiders, and the people who have recently set the news have gone to Zhi Yaxuan, buddy hasn't seen the silver for a long time." ”

Zhang Erzhen continued to flatter: "The eldest brother is a person from the imperial court, and he knows it naturally and reliably, how can those people in Zhi Yaxuan compare." What do you mean is that there is going to be a war again, this time in southern Yunnan? Didn't the saints in southern Yunnan already send troops to encircle and suppress it, and now the fight is going on again?"

"Look, you know a lot, but the victory more than 20 years ago was really wonderful, and it raised the prestige of my Ming Dynasty. But...... It was the current Four Princes who led the troops a while ago...... , probably not a good sign. ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"I heard...... There was a miasma in southern Yunnan, and the clouds and mist were full of poisonous gases, and people and animals all died in a radius of thousands of miles, and some people said...... This is the surviving child of the Yao people who were killed more than 20 years ago to take revenge. ”

"It's poisonous gas again? How can you say that the Yao people, they will use Gu, will they also use it to create miasma?"

"Who knows, I recruited people to go to southern Yunnan a while ago, this is to send my life, who wants to go. I also heard that ......" said with a mysterious face: "...... Originally, the prince went today, but he was temporarily replaced by the fourth prince, and the prince knew that this trip was more auspicious and less auspicious, so he threw this potato to others. ”

“...... That trip is really dangerous, it is okay if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not go, I heard that the Holy Dragon is not safe, if the prince leaves the capital, it will be a mess. Zhang Erzhen had a worried expression on her face.

He glanced at her and continued: "There have been a lot of things in Jingli recently, how can someone like you know about it." Nowadays, there are many sons of the saints, and many of them are virtuous and kind, and I heard that today's prince is tyrannical, that is, he cannot be a monarch, and it is also a blessing for the people of the world. I have heard that the prince of the king is gentle and kind, and treats people very well, if he is ......"

Zhang Erzhen resisted the urge to burst into foul language, this "heard" is really harmful!

"The prince fought in the southwest a few years ago, and last year he defeated the little Mongolian prince, and the prince who has not been on the battlefield in all dynasties, how can such a wise and heroic prince be ......" Zhang Erzhen paused very artistically, and looked at the catcher with a puzzled face.

"These words, I have to start with the imperial concubine who disappeared a while ago, but these words are all afterwords, we ordinary people, just eat and drink well, the greatest happiness is to drink a little wine, how can we intervene in those major court events. Don't think about those crooked thoughts, don't be a soldier, if you have these two silver, you should go back and marry your daughter-in-law. The tall man quickly shook his hand and was about to leave, Zhang Erzhen grabbed his cuffs and continued to ask: "Big brother, don't be in a hurry to leave, look at what you said for so long, the younger brother will honor the eldest brother with some saliva money, I just hope that the eldest brother will not be stingy and satisfy the little brother's careful thinking." The capital is so far away, how can the younger brother get in touch with those, and now it seems that it is not a good way to become a soldier, please point to the eldest brother, but there is a clear way for us to break through?"

Catch quickly took the silver and put it into the cuffs, patted Zhang Erzhen's back and laughed: "Big brother will give you a happy word, now those who want to risk their lives to become rich and noble have all defected to the army of King Yu, according to the camp in the suburbs of twenty miles here, report the name of Fengyang, and ensure that you succeed." ”

Zhang Erzhen grinned when she was photographed, the tall man didn't say anything more, and when he walked away, Zhang Erzhen touched his heart and muttered to himself: Zhu Youzhen's situation is getting worse and worse, and the prince of the king of Yu is buying the hearts of the people...... No, she has to write to tell Zhu Youji!

Next, You Gu saw Zhang Erzhen in the corner writing hard, writing a full three pages of letters, and then carefully folded them and handed them over, "...... The trouble was sent to the post station, and Lord Zhang of the Beijing Inspectorate received it. ”

"It's almost time, we have to go back. You Gu reluctantly looked at the crowd of people.

"No, we have one more place to go. Zhang Erzhen pinched the money bag and muttered.

"Where?"

"Catch the market!"
