Jianghu Chapter 13 There is a hidden secret
The Wang family used to be a famous family in Yuezhou, and the family business that had been worked hard for four generations was not unsubstantial, but when it came to the father of the Wang family's sisters and brothers, due to discord within the family, the family's business fell apart and gradually declined.
As the eldest daughter of the Wang family, Wang Duyao naturally has her own pride, but since she was a child, Wang Duyao has admired the chic demeanor of the green shirt and sword on the rivers and lakes, although it is also the right way, but the main thing is that Wang Duyao has no talent for martial arts at all.
At this time, Wang Duyao was asked by Xu Xiaowan why he didn't pull out his sword and beat that Hu Changyan fatly, thinking of his catties, he couldn't help blushing, and said, "I...... I didn't want to be like him, so I drew my sword...... He hurt my hand by stabbing him!"
Bai Tongchen saw Wang Duyao's embarrassment at this time, and diverted the topic and said, "What is the origin of that Hu Changyan, and why has he been pestering endlessly?"
Wang Duhui remembered the arrogant appearance of Hu Changyan's provocative remarks on the street just now, and said: "He is from Taizhou, the Hu family was just a small family that was not famous in Taizhou before, but I don't know how to get the support of the Jianfeng Pavilion, and has been taking care of the salt affairs in Taizhou for the Jianfeng Pavilion. β
"Prison Wind Pavilion?" Bai Tongchen wondered.
Wang Duhui frowned and asked, "Gongzi Gao wouldn't even know about the Prison Wind Pavilion, right?"
Bai Tongchen scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Since I was a child, I have only practiced penance in the mountains, and I really know too little about these things. β
Wang Duhui did not feel contempt for Bai Tongchen because of this, but felt even more that the young man in front of him was extraordinary, and now the power of the Prison Wind Pavilion was tilted towards the government and the opposition, if he didn't even know the Prison Wind Pavilion, it was really a hidden master, so he explained with a smile: " Gao Gongzi lived in seclusion and did not know the common facts of the court and the opposition, this Jianfeng Pavilion is a privileged supervision agency established by our Shun Holy Empress after succeeding to the throne, not only responsible for the supervision of the rights of officials in the court, but also has the power of life and death after the first cut, and later the empress in order to facilitate the action of the Jianfeng Pavilion, and also assigned the salt transportation to the Jianfeng Pavilion to be in charge of it, and now it can be regarded as more than 10,000 people, and I don't know what shit the Hu family stepped on to climb the big tree of the Jianfeng Pavilion. β
Bai Tongchen nodded slowly, relying on such a behemoth behind him, no wonder that Hu Changyan could be so arrogant.
Wang Duhui continued to explain: "We came to the mutual market with the family's goods, and met that Hu Changyan when we first entered Beizhou, and he was polite at first, and his original form was revealed after two days, and I was found hiding outside the room to eavesdrop on my conversation with my subordinates, and after being arrested, he actually said that he admired my sister before he came to eavesdrop, so he has been pestering, if it wasn't for Gao Gongzi's shot, it was really a headache, and I was afraid that I couldn't even participate in the mutual market." β
Bai Tongchen faintly felt in his heart that things were not so simple, but after all, it was a matter of the Wang family and the Hu family, and he could help as much as he could, and if he asked more, he would not know how to be polite, so he said: "Wang Gongzi, don't be polite anymore, it's just a gesture." β
While talking, Xiao Er had already served the meals one after another, and Wang Duhui picked up the wine glass and said, "It's really fate to meet Gao Gongzi here, I'll do it first as a respect!"
Bai Tongchen also picked up his wine glass and said, "Thank you Wang Gongzi and Miss Wang for your hospitality." With that, he drank the wine in his glass.
Wang Duyao opened his mouth at this time: "Gao Gongzi, listen to Sister Xiaowan, you also know swordsmanship?"
When Bai Tongchen was chatting with Wang Duhui, Xu Xiaowan had already been familiar with Wang Duyao beside her, and praised Bai Tongchen as a fool.
Bai Tongchen put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "The child is not sensible, how can I know any swordsmanship, I just learned a few tricks of chopping wood from the old people in the village, and I just have a little strength." β
Wang Duyao said: "Gao Gongzi is modest, although the slave Ge Er of my family is inconspicuous, he also has the strength of the peak of a small martial artist, and half a foot has already stepped into the threshold of the little grandmaster, and he can be shocked back so lightly, presumably it must be at least the realm of the little grandmaster." β
In Wang Duyao's heart, it is already a very rare existence for an ordinary person like Bai Tongchen who has no master to be able to cultivate to the realm of a little grandmaster.
Bai Tongchen said: "It's almost, it's just that I'm stupid and not good at learning, so naturally I'm not as good as Miss Wang said." β
After Wang Duyao got the answer, the idea of asking this handsome man to ask for advice on two moves also dispersed, although Bai Tongchen looked relatively young, and she was slightly surprised to be able to reach the realm of a little grandmaster, but after all, it was the existence of the pinnacle of the little grandmaster who pointed out her swordsmanship, and said politely: "It is not easy to practice to be a little grandmaster at this age." β
For Wang Duyao, a man's appearance and power are not important, she only admires the kind of master who fights the sword world, such as the first Yu Song in the world today, thinking of the fluttering white clothes and the rumored Qifenglou sword, what kind of courage it should be, the man in front of him who looks harmless to humans and animals is obviously far from that realm, and he does not have that kind of mind.
Wang Duhui knew what her sister was thinking, but she still talked and said: "Just now Gao Gongzi said to take Sister Xiaowan out of Beizhou, if you don't dislike it, when we are almost in the market, we can go together, and there is a care along the way, and you can also let Sister Xiaowan follow her sister around these days, there are a lot of good things in this mutual market." β
This is exactly what Bai Tongchen wants, being able to follow the Wang family's caravan out of Beizhou can make Xu Xiaowan suffer a lot less, at least she doesn't have to ride the thin old horse with her, so she said with a smile: "Then thank you Prince Wang first, Xiaowan is weak, so she can suffer a lot less." β
Wang Duhui waved his hand and said, "The work of the hands, the work of the hands." β
The two sides chatted with each other a few words, and the dishes were also eaten, Bai Tongchen took Xu Xiaowan back to the room to rest first, Wang Duyao was not interested in Hu Changyan's trouble today, and went back to the room first, Wang Duhui beckoned Ge Er, who was waiting on the side, to come over, and said: "Contact Hu Laoba and them, let them find a safe place, and I will come to the door in person later, and solve the matter as soon as possible and leave Beizhou, so as not to have many dreams at night." β
Ge Er nodded when he heard this, turned around and hurried out of the inn, disappearing into the night.
At this time, the individual customers in the inn were basically gone, only the table of Beimangzi was still drinking quietly, and Xiao Erbai was bored and rested on the small stool sitting on the edge of the counter, but his eyes glanced at the room where Bai Tongchen and Xu Xiaowan were intentionally or unintentionally.
ββββ
Hu Changyan was lying on the table in the room at this time, playing with a teacup on the table, and there was another person in the room, dressed in a light blue official uniform, which could be recognized by everyone who came to the mutual market, this body was the official uniform of the mutual market supervisor, and this person was Xu Yao, the mutual market supervisor in charge of the five miles of the valley river.
I only heard Hu Changyan change his wandering appearance in the evening, his voice was serious and calm, and said: "The rebellion in Beizhou has just stopped, and you can't go on a business trip to the market this time, your mutual market supervisor must not only check the caravans entering and leaving the city, but also always pay attention to their movements in the city, don't wronged a good person, and can't just let go of a little ghost who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters." β
Xu Yao said: "Please rest assured that Mr. Hu has deployed a large number of eyeliners in this mutual market to ensure that there are no problems in this mutual market." β
Hu Changyan nodded and said: "That's the best, I met the Wang family in Yuezhou on the way to Beizhou, and when I was with me, I accidentally found that Wang Duhui, the son of the Wang family, seems to have had a contact with a gang in your local area. β
Xu Yao nodded in agreement: "Xiaguan immediately set out to send people to keep an eye on the Wang family's caravan. β
Hu Changyan put the teacup in his hand in front of Xu Yao, picked up the teapot and added some tea to the cup, and said: "As long as I ensure that this mutual market goes smoothly and there are no accidents, I will go to Commander Qin to speak a lot of good words for Xu Yao." β
Xu Yao looked at the tea in the cup and said, "Hu Gongzi is here in person, and we should be in good spirits. β
Since Hu Changyan was selected from the Hu family to go to Beizhou, he was naturally not so arrogant and domineering outside, on the contrary, Hu Changyan in Taizhou was a gentle scholar who read poetry and books, since the family was selected by the Jianfeng Pavilion to be responsible for salt transportation affairs, Hu Changyan paid more attention to his own talent and cultivation, and was outstanding in Hu Jiachang's generationγ
But not long after walking with the Wang family siblings to Beizhou, Hu Changyan overheard Wang Duhui's conversation with a group of people: "weapons, Beimangzi and other words. After some discussion, he reported to the Jianfeng Pavilion, and the Jianfeng Pavilion meant to be strangled directly on the spot, but Hu Changyan couldn't bear it, worried that he had wronged a good person, so there were these next things, Hu Changyan was chasing after him in secret, just to try his best to contact the Wang family and secretly investigate the truth of the Wang family's trip to Beizhou.
Hu Changyan suddenly remembered that he fell from his horse on the street today, and his buttocks still had a faint pain, which was really strange, and he finally mustered up the courage to perform in public, and now he had lost all his efforts, and he had to find a way to entangle them, which was really annoying.
