Chapter 276: Recurrence
"What? What's wrong? Tang Mian, who realized that his mood was wrong, opened his mouth to ask, Yin Zhe's words rang in his mind, he couldn't come to Tang Mian for help, let alone involve her in this matter.
He thought about it again and again, and finally mustered up the courage to raise his head to meet Tang Mian's eyes, which were full of gloom.
"Tang Mian, something happened to Zhongyitang, and we need your help now. Lend us as much money as you can. ”
It turned out that since they learned that "Nian Tian Xu" was secretly "executed" by the Criminal Department, the people of Zhongyitang sneaked into the field to assassinate him while the emperor was hunting behind his back.
When leaving, the token of Zhongyi Hall was dropped, and they would not have been found, but it was a coincidence that a friend of the Dali Temple Dynasty knew had hired them to perform a mission before, and had seen this branch of the token, and the Lord Chao took the opportunity to catch all the people of their Zhongyi Hall.
Now the brothers from all walks of life plan to pool their money to buy saltpeter and sulfur and go to the imperial city to save their brothers.
It's a pity that sulfur and saltpeter are strictly controlled by the imperial court, and the other party's asking price is too high, and they can't afford to take out so much silver.
At the end of the day, it's all about the three of them.
Otherwise, Xiao and the few of them would not really think that Tian Xu was killed, and do such a disrespectful thing.
After he finished explaining, Tang Mian shook his head, "I still have less than 600,000 taels of silver left in my hand, if it is not enough, I can raise another million taels of silver, but Yin Zhe, have you ever thought that this day is the emperor's world, and the imperial court will send troops to garrison every important official card, once you are betrayed by the people who sell saltpeter and gunpowder, then the people of Zhongyi Hall will die a lot......"
Speaking of this, Tang Mian took a deep breath, and after she calmed down, she hurriedly wrote a letter to Bai Yi, and then explained a few words to Tian Bo and them, only saying that Yin Zhe and they were doing business with a few foreign businessmen recently, and they wanted to take her with them.
Xiaocui didn't think much about it, so they let her go.
Later, Yin Zhe took Tang Mian to the inn where they were staying.
"Tang Mian, how is it!" The scars on Nian Tian Xu's face and hands had scabbed, and he knew that Yin Zhe would not be obedient, and the last time for his business, the person who had hurt his mouth was imprisoned in the Ministry of Officials, and Tang Mian almost lost his life.
He can see the light of day now, thanks to the help of Mian and Baiyi.
After all, this time was Zhongyitang's own internal matter, and he really didn't want to involve Tang Mian.
"Tian Xu! You are really confused, Yin Zhe is right to come to me, I brought all the money and everything, but this time the emperor almost died, he will not let go of the people of Zhongyitang. You have to be prepared, even if I can convince Bai Yi to help, I guess I won't be able to save everyone! As Tang Mian spoke, Nian Su went in and said that the carriage had been arranged, and they would be able to rush back to the imperial city now.
Seeing a few of them coming out of the inn, Ruan Xing's expression became very complicated for a while, who are these people.
The internal force is all over him.
It seems that he must stay away, otherwise it will not be good to be discovered by Tang Mian.
Along the way, Nian Su analyzed the current situation of Zhongyi Hall to Tang Mian.
Except for the imperial city being wiped out, the other branches have not been affected in any way, but the court has ordered to track them down, as long as they don't use martial arts, the people of the court will not be able to find them.
Now the dozen or so branches closest to the Imperial City have infiltrated the Imperial City, trying to find an opportunity to rescue the boss.
"Hmm...... So be it! Which of you will notify everywhere, let them calm down, we will save people, as for those who have already mixed into the imperial city, don't act lightly, wait for them to ......" Tang Mian simply sorted out her thoughts, she had several intersections with Lord Chao during the epidemic, and he was young enough to sit firmly in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, relying not only on keen insight, but also on a sense of substitution.
Every time a major crime occurs, he will put himself in the position of a suspect when investigating the case, simulate his criminal history, and then deduce the specific crime process.
Compared to Fang Yishu, he was a terrible opponent.
Yin Zhe and the three of them knew very well that Tang Mian's current deployment was correct, and then immediately wrote to inform everywhere.
When he arrived at the post station, Tang Mian wrote a letter and entrusted the people from the post station to send it to Phoenix Village.
Then he continued to get into the carriage and hurry.
As soon as the messenger of the post station came out of the woods, he was wiped on the neck from behind.
After Ruan Xing received the letter handed by his subordinates, he was a little disappointed when he saw that it was all the words of greeting between friends for a long time, so he closed the letter and sent his people to Phoenix Village.
Because they were in a hurry to save people, they took turns to rush day and night, fortunately, there were two carriages, when Tang Mian was sleeping, Nian Su went to drive the carriage, and waited until the day when she drove the carriage to change him to sleep,
On the ninth day, they finally arrived at Phoenix Village, and they had already dressed up in disguise beforehand, so no one recognized Tang Mian himself.
"This little brother, my name is Caiye, and I want to see Mr. Bai." Just yesterday, Bai Yi had already explained to a few people in the guards that a person named "Caiye" would come to visit him recently, and he would just bring them to his house when the time came.
After a while, Tang Mian and the others finally saw Bai Yi.
"Bai Yi (Mr. Bai)! Please, save the Loyalty! The three of them knelt in front of him in order to grasp him at the last straw.
"What are you guys doing! Hurry up! Bai Yi said that he would help them up, but the three insisted on kneeling.
"Good! You're going to kneel, aren't you? Then I won't save the people of Zhongyitang! As soon as Bai Yi said angrily, he sat down, took a small sip of his errand, and when he saw Tang Mian, he took the initiative to introduce him to these hard-picked tea leaves.
Anyway, it's none of your business.
"We know that we are wrong, you will show you a clear way, what method do we have to use to save the boss." Nian Tian Xu regretted that the reason why Zhongyitang is where it is today is because he was drunk and talked nonsense, if something happened to his brothers this time, he would not be able to make up for it even if he died a hundred times.
"Oops! Mr. Bai, don't sell it, what good way do you have! Yin Zhe remembered that no, every minute is torment now, and if they go a day late, everyone will lose their lives.
Sensing that the three of them were really anxious, Bai Yi pointed at Yin Zhe unhurriedly and said, "It's just you, you will enter the imperial city tomorrow to surrender, surrender to the emperor, and put everything on your boss, so that only six people died-"
Before he finished speaking, he was punched hard by Yin Zhe by grabbing his shirt.
He Yin Zhe has always stood up to the sky and the earth in his work, and let him betray the boss to die, it is better to kill him with a knife.
"Xiaocao, send off!" Bai Yi was very angry, the consequences were very serious, he really thought they were friends, so he would come up with this solution.
It's better for six people to die than to put all the lives of everyone in the Zhongyi Hall into it.
