Chapter 258: The Sparrow Is Small
"My lord, the meal is ready, and several sons can come over at any time." A middle-aged maid leaned over to make a report.
"I can't neglect you, can you have dinner here before leaving the house." Master Li thought that since he had obtained the authentic works, these sons must not be ordinary businessmen, and they must be hospitable.
A few people drank tea with Master Li, talked about ancient sayings, and talked about ancient paintings, and the time passed quickly, and it was time for dinner.
If Master Li doesn't prop a few people to the side room, he is afraid that he will die in a hurry.
"Keep an eye on Lord Li's every move." Jin Lingluo turned his head and instructed Helian Jinrong as he walked out of the reception hall.
"Yes." Helian Jinrong leaned over in response, turned around and jumped on the eaves with agility, and gently lifted a black tile.
"What's the use of raising all these wastes for you, what are you doing when you lose all your money?" Master Li scolded in the room, pointing at the few people kneeling on the ground and trembling uncontrollably.
Helian Jinrong had a trace of doubt, silver two?
"My lord, when we passed through a forest, some bandits rushed out, and some of our brothers were wounded by arrows, and they were outnumbered, and they robbed them of their money." One of the leaders timidly explained.
"Do you know, those are the 100,000 taels of silver sent to the capital, so you will lose them like this, and you can't afford to lose them if you sell them! Get out of here! Master Li kicked hard at the few people who were kneeling on the ground.
Capital? Sure enough, Jin Lingluo's guess was right.
"Lord Li, don't worry, when Lord Wang asks, he will tell the truth, it shouldn't be good." The military advisor on the side opened his small eyes and slowly spoke.
"Can I not be in a hurry, this batch of silver is of great use to Lord Wang, I guess it is to expand the armament." Master Li knew that there was no one else in the room, and the military advisor was naturally trustworthy, so he told his guess.
"My lord, don't say this, it's good to know in your heart, it's not good if others know about it." The military advisor on the side hurriedly reminded.
Seeing that Master Li and the military advisor were about to walk out of the main hall, Helian Jinrong immediately turned over and jumped down and returned to Jin Lingluo's side.
Helian Jinrong didn't say a word after he came back, because he knew that he was now in the county office, and every word he said might be overheard behind his back, and only when he left the house could he report to Jin Lingluo with confidence.
At the dinner table, Jing Yan vigorously sandwiched vegetables into the bowl of the blue baby, and Jin Lingluo saw that he also sandwiched the bowl of the blue baby, and after a while, the bowl of the blue baby became a small mountain.
"Lin Gongzi, don't you like to eat chicken, eat more." Jin Lingluo said as he added another top to the hill.
"Lin Gongzi, taste this is our specialty here." Jing Yan said as he sandwiched a piece of shiitake mushroom into the bowl of the blue baby.
"Okay, don't clip it to me, I'm a big man with my own hands." The blue baby was a little anxious, what was the situation, so he had to pretend to be a man and open his mouth with a disgusted face.
The maid on the side couldn't help but look at Lan Baobao's handsome appearance, thinking that whether it is a man or a woman, as long as she has a beautiful face, she is very popular.
Helplessly, the food piled up in his bowl was not easy to clip back, it was all the emperor's heart, and the blue baby had to eat the full bowl in it, and finally burped.
At this time, the dark clouds on Jin Lingluo's face became clear.
Seeing that there was a grain of rice left in the corner of Lan Baobao's mouth, Jin Lingluo stepped forward and wiped it with Juanpa, glanced at Jing Yan on the side, and then bent his thin lips in an arc.
Jing Yan sighed and buried himself in eating.
After dinner, the group said goodbye to Lord Li and left the county government and returned to the inn.
"Childe, today I heard in the Li Mansion that this Lord Li is related to the king of the court, and this Lord Wang has the intention of expanding armaments, and there are two kings in the court, but I don't know which one is talking about."
Helian Jinrong whispered softly in Jin Lingluo's ear, you must be cautious everywhere, and you can't be as ostentatious as Lord Li.
Jin Lingluo slapped the folding fan in his hand into the palm of his hand: "Oh? Lord Wang? Jin Rong, if you go to the Li Mansion again tonight, you must find out which Lord Wang is in Lord Li's mouth, and this matter is important and cannot be sloppy. ”
Jin Lingluo also had a trace of doubt in his heart, the court knew that these two people were not the faction of the national ruler, could it be that there were other people operating in the dark.
"You fly the pigeon first and pass the book to Meng Shi, let him pay more attention to the movement of the DPRK, and notify me immediately if something happens, he will know what to do when he sees this."
Jin Lingluo called back Helian Jinrong and asked him to inform the general, picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the note, people outside the palace but the affairs in the palace have to be taken care of, if there is turmoil in the time when Jin Lingluo leaves, wouldn't it be worth the loss.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Helian Jinrong clenched his fists and leaned over, then went back to the room to change into night clothes, went to the backyard to release the carrier pigeon, and then went to the Li Mansion.
The conversation between Jin Lingluo and Helian Jinrong, Lan Baobao could hear it clearly in the next room, and he was secretly thinking in his heart, wanting to help Jin Lingluo, looking at Jin Lingluo for the past two days, he was worried, and Lan Baobao also wanted to help, but he couldn't help.
"Bai Ya, is there a way for people to take the initiative to tell the truth?" Lan Baobao raised his head slightly and called Bai Ya who was lying on the beam of the room softly.
"I'll think about it." Bai Ya's eyes rolled and thought, and then her eyes lit up: "It's better for me to become a beauty temptation." ”
"What kind of temptation?" Blue Baby looked at Bai Ya with a suspicious expression, in her eyes she really didn't understand the meaning of temptation.
"Don't you just want that Master Li to tell the truth, I'll go and become his wife's face, and I'll just get his words out." Bai Ya glanced at the blue baby, everyone is extremely smart, how can this blue baby sister be stupider than herself, it can't be said to be stupid, it's simple.
"Oh, that's what you're talking about." The blue baby patted his head and smiled.
When the blue baby looked at Bai Ya again, Bai Ya had already turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.
When I came to the bedroom of Lord Li's main room, a wisp of white smoke drifted into the woman's body.
"My lord, why are you frowning today?" The woman charmingly wrapped around Lord Li's upper body from behind.
"Yes, isn't Uncle Yue an official of the capital, can you inform Lord Wang, the money we sent over today was robbed halfway, so that we can send it to Lord Wang in a few days." Seeing that Mrs. was so enthusiastic, Master Li's eyes rolled, and he turned around and helped Mrs. to speak on her shoulders.
Why did Master Li marry this unattractive and domineering princess, it was because her father was an official in the court.
"As soon as something happens, I will bother my father, then Lord Wang went to my father's mansion a few days ago, and said that the soldiers in the eastern part of the city camp were expanded and thanked you, but this time, let my father's face go where to go."
Bai Ya pretended to be brutal and pushed Lord Li over.
"Chengdong? Madam, I'm obviously talking about the Lord Wang who is in charge of the military camp in the west of the city. Master Li furrowed his eyebrows.
"My lord, I misremembered, Chengxi, I don't know what to do, you know." Bai Ya said and came up coquettishly and pushed Master Li.
When Master Li heard Bai Ya's words go back, he believed it, undressed and lay down, and extinguished the candle.
"The guy above heard it, don't go back and tell the emperor." Bai Ya thought to herself, and then a wisp of white smoke floated out of her wife's body.
At this time, Helian Jinrong on the roof put the tile back in its place, jumped lightly to another eaves, and jumped several eaves one after another to return to the inn.
"It's dry, watch out for the candles."
The streets were empty, and the shops had already closed, except for one watchman, who was beating the gong and shouting unhurriedly.
"Childe, my subordinates have found out that Lord Wang in Lord Li's mouth is Wang Yuanshen, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the west of the city, and his adjutant Ren Zhong, this Lord Li's eldest lady is Ren Zhong's eldest daughter."
Helian Jinrong leaned down and told him what he had seen and heard.
Officials collude, is this to expand their own military camps or to rebel? Jin Lingluo angrily slammed his fist at the table, his teeth clenched.
"Go and inform Meng Shi and ask him to take the sword I gave him to the palace to arrest people, even the one named Ren Zhong will also be arrested and sent to the Forbidden Prison, and then send a Royal Forest Army over." Jin Lingluo wrote on the note, and finally took out a small seal from the placket and printed it tightly at the end of the note.
When Helian Jinrong didn't rush back, Jin Lingluo kept sitting at the table, looking up at the bright moon outside the window, and wrote a few lines of poetry with a pen.
The wind watching the horse can speak, and the county is allowed to return temporarily.
In this world, it is a man, a king, and the heart of the people.
After midnight, Lan Baobao heard the sound that Helian Jinrong had returned to the room and closed the door, so he knew that Jin Lingluo had also fallen asleep, and then fell asleep peacefully.
As soon as it was dawn, Helian Jinrong went to Jin Lingluo's room to report the situation in the capital early in the morning.
"The general's side has been caught, do you want to give an order?" Helian Jinrong bowed his head respectfully.
"Lock it up and wait for us to go back, and you will try it yourself." Jin Lingluo looked at Helian Jinrong and blurted out after thinking for a while.
"Let's go to the Red Flower House today." Suddenly, the Blue Baby walked up from the next room.
"What kind of flower house does a woman go to?" Jin Lingluo pretended to be angry and spoke, but also, it was not appropriate for a woman to think about it when she went to that kind of place.
"Why not, I'm also dressed as a man now, I see that those men love to go there, and the women there have beautiful makeup, and they are very fragrant."
Blue Baby closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he said the word incense.
"Do you still want to eat those women?" Jin Lingluo whispered in the blue baby's ear for no reason.
"How come, I just love those rouge smells, and you're making fun of babies again." Lan Baobao was uneasy in his heart, was Jin Lingluo testing whether he was a demon just now?
Hearing Lan Baobao's answer, the smile on Jin Lingluo's face was annihilated.
"Well, then your wish will be fulfilled today." Jin Lingluo saw that the blue baby finally went out of the palace, and when he went back, he didn't know when he would be able to come out to play again.
Lan Baobao just hugged Jin Lingluo's arm, but only then did he realize that he was already a man, and immediately let go of Jin Lingluo.
When he came to the door of the Red Flower Building, he was stopped by Jing Yan,
"Jin Gongzi, are you going to Honghua Building?" Jing Yan looked at the blue baby on the side, thinking that these three people were really leisurely and elegant.
"What? Can't go here? Jin Lingluo replied gloomily.
"It's not that you can't go, it's that Jing is familiar with this boss, I can take you in, it will definitely be the top three girls, serving tea and pouring wine for you."
Jing Yan proudly stretched out the folding fan and shook it in front of him.
"What do you mean by the top three?" Lan Baobao came over to talk curiously, and didn't notice that Jin Lingluo on the side was already covered by black clouds.
"It is a woman with an excellent temperament, an excellent face, and an extremely graceful dance." Jing Yan said, his dark eyes shining brightly.
"Then let's go." Blue Baby smiled at Jin Lingluo.
Helpless, the person has come to this point Jin Lingluo didn't want to come, but he also stepped in hard, and Helian Jinrong didn't change his face and followed behind Jin Lingluo.
"Yo, Jing Gongzi, you haven't been here for a few days, how about I let Bai Qianqian accompany you today?"
When the lady in the fuchsia brocade robe saw Jing Yan enter the door, she immediately threw down the guests on the side and ran to Jing Yan's side to open her mouth flatteringly.
