Chapter 239 is amazing
This man must be very powerful, and he always delivers letters for his father-in-law without knowing it.
"Knowing that there is an internal response in the palace, why don't you just throw people out like you did with Xin Ruliu last time?" Blue Baby asked, puzzled.
"You should know Jiang Lingxun's ability very well, if you lose one, you will come again, you can't prevent it, it's better to keep the current one." Bai Xiao said.
Lan Baobao understood, and suddenly thought of His Highness leaving her before, did he also have such a thought, in fact, he knew everything, but he didn't break it, and the illusion was deceived to let the enemy relax his vigilance.
"In this way, it may not be safe for me to stay in the palace." Lan Baobao sighed and said helplessly: "This time will trouble General Bai." ”
Bai Xiao said "um", and said after a while: "I just found out that the Zhang Mansion has recently had a grudge with a Jianghu family, and now I want to go over to see the situation, you will join me." ”
"Jianghu family?!" Lan Baobao looked at Bai Xiao's regular clothes in surprise and asked, "Did the villain also change his clothes?" ”
The Zhang family is the mother family of the concubine of King Sheng's mansion, and is a five-grade water supervisor in the imperial court.
Bai Xiao took the opportunity to look at her again, and seemed to be even more panicked, but said calmly on the surface: "No, you can hide people's eyes and ears like this." With that, he quickly turned his head away from her.
On the way, Lan Baobao learned that this Jianghu family was not from the capital, but they had a separate garden on the outskirts of the capital, which was taken care of by a group of disciples.
"What's the last name? What does this family do? Lan Baobao asked curiously, didn't the rivers and lakes and the imperial court always have a good water that does not interfere with the river water, why did they suddenly have a grudge with the imperial court officials.
"This family surname Ming, Ming Jianzhuang, famous in the rivers and lakes for the way of the sword, according to the history of a hundred years, the foundation is quite deep, and the status in the rivers and lakes is also very important." Bai Xiao said: "Although the other garden we went to this time is taken care of by the disciples of Ming Jianzhuang, we must not take it lightly, nor can we reveal our identity. ”
"I remember." Blue Baby nodded solemnly.
Mingjianzhuang Villa is built at the foot of a green water and green mountain, with a high mountain at its back, and lives next to a lake.
"The lake and the mountains, the birds and the flowers, it's a really good place." Blue Baby sighed.
Hearing this, Bai Xiao also deliberately took a look at the surrounding scenery, nodded silently in agreement, raised his hand to block the movement of the blue baby getting out of the car, and advised: "Remember that today we came to visit in the name of the Beijing Shangyang Dart Bureau, you are the second girl of the Dart Bureau, I am your brother, don't forget." ”
Blue Baby nodded.
So Bai Xiao stepped out of the carriage first, and the person who had just sent the post had returned, followed by a strange man wearing an arrow sleeve suit.
After the two of them came over, they hugged Bai Xiao first.
Bai Xiao returned a salute, "Qi Huai, the head of the Shangyang Dart Bureau, is here to visit Mingjianzhuang today." ”
"Shi Feng, a disciple of Xia Ming Sword Village." The strange man clasped his fists and said: "I have heard that the Shangyang Dart Bureau in the capital is a rising star in the rivers and lakes, and the reputation of Qi Huai, the head of the dart, is even more thunderous. It's also a coincidence that Qi Darttou came, the second son of our Mingjian Village has just come to the other garden recently, please come in. ”
"Wait a minute." Bai Xiao walked back to the carriage and said inside, "Xi'er, come down." ”
Shi Feng stood not far away and watched the movement in the carriage, and soon saw a girl wearing a veil coming out of the carriage.
"W-Who is this?" Shi Feng, a man with five big and three thick, actually blushed a little when he saw it.
The guard next to him who pretended to be a dart master said, "This is the second girl of our dart game. ”
While speaking, Bai Xiao and Blue Baby had already walked over.
Shi Feng hurriedly clenched his fists, couldn't hide his excitement, and said, "Two of you, please come in." ”
The construction of the Ming Jianzhuang garden is deliberately integrated with the surrounding mountains and rivers, and the poetry and painting reveal a bit of chic and comfortable, and the atmosphere is heroic.
Shi Feng led them to the "Haoran Hall" in the front yard, and the three of them had just walked to the verandah, when they caught a glimpse of a woman's back flashing around the corner not far away.
Lan Baobao glanced at it suddenly, and felt that the back was a little familiar, but before he could see it carefully, a boy in brocade walked out of Haoran Hall, holding a folding fan and turning to look at them.
"This is the second son of our Ming Jian Village." Shi Feng introduced.
Mingchen's gaze swept slightly over the blue baby, and then calmly greeted him, "Brother Qi, it's polite." ”
"Brother Ming is polite." Bai Xiao replied with a fist.
The blue baby stood behind and also saluted Mingchen.
"Two, please speak in the room." Mingchen led them into Haoran Hall, and Shi Feng retreated silently,
Mingchen personally served them tea, looked at Bai Xiao and said: "I have heard of Brother Qi's prestige earlier, and I am fortunate to see it today, it is really extraordinary and upright." ”
"Brother Ming is also a jade tree in the wind, chic and fluttering." Bai Xiao also complimented.
Baby Blue listened to their conversation, only thinking that he was a background board, and only after the two of them had exchanged pleasantries did he begin to get to the point. Listening to it, I knew why Ming Jianzhuang had a grudge with the Zhang family.
It turned out that a month ago, Mingjianzhuang took the waterway to transport a batch of home-made swords, wanting to lay a foundation for running a shop in the capital, but was intercepted by the water supervisor at the wharf.
Although there is no explicit prohibition for the people to make weapons privately, Ming Jianzhuang has also been in the sword business for many years, but it has not developed to the capital, the main reason is because of the secret obstruction of the imperial court.
Once Ming Jianzhuang sets this precedent, there will be more and more people who want to enter the capital to operate weapons in the future, and in the long run, everyone in the capital can hold sharp weapons, which will also have an impact on social security.
Moreover, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, nobles and officials can be seen everywhere, once someone has a bad intention, I am afraid that it will be chaotic.
Therefore, to this day, the weapons shops in the capital are all opened by officials, and there are strict requirements for buying and selling. Now that there are few weapons in the shop, they can still be restrained, and when a swarm of swarms pour in, it will be difficult to control.
It was reasonable for the superintendent to stop this batch of weapons, but there was some injustice in the law, and the disciples of Ming Jianzhuang, who was leading the transportation of the goods, couldn't hold back for a while, and finally had a dispute with the superintendent, and both sides moved their hands and injured people.
It just so happened that Lord Zhang went over in person, after all, this is the capital, and no matter how powerful Ming Jianzhuang is, he can't bargain on other people's territory, so he was arrested by a team of Jin Wuwei invited by Lord Zhang.
Later, although the people were released, all the weapons were sent back to the original site, and the people of Mingjianzhuang were not convinced, and the reason why they dared to transport these things was also to pave their contacts in advance to greet them, but they were disturbed by a small water supervisor who did not know the height of the sky.
In the past half a month, the people in Zhang's Mansion will inevitably be injured as long as they go out, and even Master Zhang himself has not avoided it, making them feel like turtles with shrunken heads every day.
"Brother Qi came this time, didn't he intercede for the water supervisor?" Mingchen suddenly lost his expression, and his demeanor suddenly became sharp, "I haven't heard of it, the Shangyang Dart Bureau still has a relationship with the Governor Water Supervisor." ”
"Brother Ming misunderstood." Bai Xiao arched his hand and said: "This time I came just to visit, of course, it can be regarded as for that batch of weapons, and I want to negotiate a deal with Ming Jianzhuang." ”
Mingchen was interested, "I want to hear about it." ”
The blue baby listened silently, and the picture on the verandah just now suddenly flashed in his mind, and he felt more and more that the flashing back was very familiar, could it be someone he knew?
It looks like the man was here just now, but he left suddenly after they came, so he couldn't have been deliberately avoiding them, right?
While thinking about this problem, Lan Baobao listened to Bai Xiao's "nonsense" with two minds, it seems that he came here after being fully prepared. actually planned to take the initiative to help Ming Jianzhuang connect and send someone to escort this batch of goods into Beijing.
And there is only one condition for the dart bureau, if Ming Jianzhuang can really gain a foothold in the capital, the matter of their transportation of goods in the future can only be handled by the Shangyang dart bureau.
"The conditions are indeed tempting, but I can't make the decision in this matter, and I need to ask my father before I can give an answer to Brother Qi." Mingchen said with a smile.
Bai Xiao also smiled back, and arched his hand: "I still understand these rules, rest assured, since we want to cooperate for a long time, we can naturally afford to wait." ”
"Brother Qi is refreshing!" Mingchen immediately toasted the other party with tea instead of wine.
After that, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Mingchen saw that they had no intention of leaving, so he took the initiative to keep them in the house for dinner.
Bai Xiao didn't refuse, but it was past noon at this time, and the meal naturally had to wait until dinner, and there were still two or three hours to spare, so Mingchen led the two of them to visit the garden.
Who knew that the ground of this Mingjian Zhuang Pavilion was not very flat, and the blue baby didn't pay attention to it, and Mingchen didn't want to go, so he had to move the person to the nearest pavilion first, and hurriedly ordered the next person to ask for a doctor.
It just so happened that Bai Xiao went to the toilet, he was not at the scene when the incident happened, Lan Baobao looked very uneasy to stay alone in a strange place, and Mingchen couldn't bear to leave to find someone, so he had to continue to accompany him.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the doctor in the house rushed over, because the blue baby was a woman, and he didn't take a closer look, but just instructed the blue baby to press the injury himself, and finally came to the conclusion: "The girl only sprained slightly, and did not hurt the muscles and bones, and it will be fine to apply a plaster to reduce swelling and stasis for a few days." ”
While speaking, Bai Xiao also returned.
"What's wrong with Xi'er?" Bai Xiao walked over quickly, his face full of concern and concern.
"It's all the fault of the second, I didn't take care of the second girl, and the second girl broke my foot." Mingchen bowed his hand and apologized, with a look of self-blame.
"It turned out that he broke his foot, it's okay, it's just a small injury, Brother Ming doesn't have to mind." Bai Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My sister has always been like this, she is confused in doing things, and it is common for her to break her feet. ”
Blue Baby's face was full of embarrassment.
This General Bai wouldn't be deliberately taking the opportunity to sarcastically mock her, she is not mentally retarded, what is a broken foot is a common thing, she saw that Ming Gongzi was laughing to himself.
If it weren't for the sake of the overall situation, she wouldn't let the other party smear her.
Because Lan Baobao broke his foot, it was inconvenient to go shopping again, and Bai Xiao also took his leave for this reason.
Outside the garden, Lan Baobao pretended to be helped into the carriage by Bai Xiao, until Bai Xiao said goodbye to Mingchen who came out to see off the guests, and after closing the car door, she kicked her feet and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are your feet okay?" Bai Xiao looked at her feet with some concern.
Blue Baby smiled slyly, "It's okay, it's just a show, the doctor didn't look closely, he believed everything I said." ”
Bai Xiaowan'er, "Thanks to your dress, the doctor doesn't dare to take a closer look because of the difference between men and women." ”
"What about you? Did you find anything? Blue Baby asked with interest.
Bai Xiao shook his head with some disappointment, "I can't see anything unusual, I don't find anything suspicious, and I don't see any flaws in Ming Gongzi's attitude, I don't think it's a matter of concubines that has nothing to do with Ming Jianzhuang." ”
When their carriage had drifted away and had finally turned a corner, two more women came out of the garden, one of whom wore a curtain that covered half of his moon-white dress.
"That man is not from the dart game, but the white general of Youduwei. As for the girl next to him, she looked a little familiar, but she had been wearing a veil and couldn't see her face clearly, and she had the impression that there was no such girl among the nobles in the capital. The woman said softly.
