Chapter 199: Mist
() Today, because of the arrival of the governor, the three avenues of the coastal city are all clean and tidy. In addition to the street façade, other peddlers, pawns, stalls and cabinets were driven to other side streets.
When Lin Yu's team marched into the city with the welcoming procession of the Kongdong general Du Shuo, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at them on both sides of the road.
"Tsk, it's really a hero from ancient times, look at those two champions are really handsome and extraordinary. ”
"Look at those governor's guards, all of them are tall and big, compared to the soldiers of our Donghai Mansion, they are a little shorter. ”
"Which one is the champion Lang? Which one is Lin Yu who is the princess of the palace drama in the mouth of the storyteller?"
Naturally, there are welcoming crowds on both sides of the road, and there are countless curious eyes at the pavement windows on the street.
For such a scene of onlookers, Lin Yu and Nangong Ming naturally did not feel uncomfortable. Compared to their champion parade that day, this is really a small scene. Coupled with the fact that Lin Yu and Nangong Ming already had a dignified appearance, as well as their subordinates behind them, this appearance really caught the attention of many people.
When everyone arrived at the governor's post house in the city, it was noon. After Lin Yu once again rejected Yin Zekai's kindness, everyone entered the hall and sat down as guests. Only Lin Yu and the others stood in the hall, holding a brocade silk embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon in their hands.
"Carried by the heavens, blessed the world. I specially appointed Lin Yu and Nangong Ming as the governors of Qincha to supervise the people's livelihood and wishes of the people in Donghai Mansion. Where the two passed, if I came in person, they had the right to inspect it. He ordered everyone to do their best to assist the two, and there was no mistake. Qin Ci!" Nangong Ming read the content of the edict respectfully, but his eyes secretly glanced at the people who bowed down and received the edict.
"The minister took the order. Du Shuo and Yin Zekai took the holy decree and immediately stood up.
"Why don't you see Prince Mingzheng?" Nangong Ming was the first to speak, looking at the other party's calm face, but in his heart, he was even more sure that the two in front of him were forcibly calming.
"The prince of Ming Zheng has escaped into the empty door, and he has long stopped asking about the world. Therefore, the two of you have been inspecting these days, and Lord Yin and I have tried our best to cooperate. Du Shuo didn't say much, but every sentence was on point, and his martial arts were half his life, and the solemn and solemn military characteristics made him full of majesty.
"I see, presumably the purpose of the two of us coming here, General Du and Lord Yin have already read the documents distributed by the officials. It's just that the two of us are a little tired on the journey, so why don't we wait for the two of us to rest a little, and then go to Lord Du's mansion in the evening to inherit the hospitality of several adults. Nangong Ming thanked everyone in the room, but in his heart, he was a little strange to the current first-class member of the dynasty, Du Shuo, the general of Kongdong.
Legend has it that Du Shu is an upright and iron-blooded general, but why did he mix with Yin Zekai today, and he was quite intimate. The two sang and harmonized, which really made the truth in officialdom very clear.
"In that case, then I will take our leave, and in the evening, I will send someone to invite you. "Yin Zekai couldn't hear what Nangong Ming meant. When people first come here, they naturally want to sit down and discuss how to behave. However, he has been the Yin of Donghai Mansion for many years, what kind of character has not been seen by Lord Qincha? If he can't even put the two boys in front of him on the table, then wouldn't he have been an official for decades in vain.
Since the other party wants to rest, then simply let them rest enough, anyway, they have their own opinions for every step in the next step, and they are not afraid of what tricks they play......
"Lin Yu, why do I think something is wrong?" After the others left one after another, only Lin Yu, Nangong Ming, Dongfang Yao and Dong'er were left in the house.
Xiao Ming waited. Lin Yu turned around and walked out of the house, and when he pushed open the door, his eyes flicked towards the tall trees on the east and west sides of the courtyard wall, and then his eyes froze.
"What's the matter, my lord?" the guard outside the door saw Lin Yu come out, bowed down and asked.
"It's okay, I'll come out and breathe. Lin Yu bent down and picked up the stones on the ground, and casually threw them to the side, and in an instant, the two stones turned into a streamer and flew into the two canopies.
A muffled grunt sounded, and then the sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard became farther and farther away.
"Well, sir, there are assassins?"
"Hehe, don't panic, it's just a clown, you continue to stand guard. Lin Yu shook his shoulders and pushed the door in with a smile.
"Lin Yu, is it a bit of a stalker??" Dongfang Yao frowned, expecting that everyone at this moment would be within the other party's eyeliner.
"It's okay, it's already gone. What did Xiao Ming mean by what he said just now?" Lin Yu had not been familiar with the things on the scene since he was a child like Nangong Ming.
"Today, we came on behalf of the Sky Scun, and it was reasonable that the other party had already prepared, but when we came up, we fired thirteen salutes and set up a trap for us to drill. After we can enter the city, we ask to settle in the post station, and it stands to reason that the other party will invite us to the government, is it because we are so young?"
"And I have heard that Du Shuo, the general of Kongdong, is a resolute and resolute person, and he is also resolute in his words and actions. But when I see it today, why is it like this? It is not so much that he is silent, but that he did it on purpose. Nangong Mingjian's eyebrows were furrowed, and there seemed to be a cloud of fog lingering as far as he could see.
"Well, besides, even if the second prince Ming Zheng has converted to Buddhism, after all, it is the governor of Qincha, so why should he come here to take a look. Dongfang Yao took the tea handed over by Dong'er and said.
"Could it be that they knew that they had done something unkind, so they made arrangements?" Lin Yu was secretly shocked in his heart, could it be that the other party was fully prepared, just waiting for himself to jump into the fire pit?
"There are some cats in various places, and this saint is also clear, as long as you don't move the root of royal rule, you will turn a blind eye when you think about it. Therefore, things will not be so simple here, and the purpose of our trip is not to control General Dong and Yin Fuyin, so it would not be a bad thing if we could find out something through this. However, the top priority is to try to get in touch with the people at the head of the Yu factory. Nangong Ming turned around and looked at the somewhat gloomy weather outside the window, and the sky that was still clear just now seemed to be covered with a thick fog, which made people extremely confused......
Donghai Prefecture, Linzi Prefecture, as the largest grain-producing town in Donghai Prefecture, is more prosperous than the coastal city.
As a subfectural administrative unit at the state level, it is customary for the state to have the same name as the largest city within it. For example, the main city of Binhai Prefecture is called Binhai City, and the main city of Linzi Prefecture is called Linzi City.
However, compared to the state, it is not only the city but also the surrounding countryside, just looking at the fertile fields next to Linzi City, you can imagine how much territory a state official can govern.
In Linzi City, which covers an extremely large area and is full of rice warehouses and grain stores, there is an equally large and luxurious mansion, and the scale of its main entrance alone is enough to cover the land occupied by several ordinary people. Strangely, on both sides of the red lacquer gate, there are not stone lions or door gods used to ward off evil spirits, but two rice jars carved out of stone. That's right, it's the rice jar that has been carved to life with great detail and the grain particles that are about to overflow.
All people passing by this place will inadvertently raise their eyes to look at this mansion that can be described as grand, and a feeling of admiration and envy will rise leisurely in their hearts.
It is not someone else who lives because of this, it is the big grain family of the rich and rivaled country of the dynasty, the Oriental family. As one of the four major families of the dynasty, the Dongfang family is not like the other three, with branches and leaves all over the court and the opposition. On the contrary, except for Dongfang Yao, a child who seemed a little different in the clan, most of the others were engaged in business or farming.
The Oriental family has two major industries, one is rice grain, the other is the money village, the grain caravan of the Oriental family is all over the world, in addition to supplying this dynasty, the Yuan merchant alliance in the southwest, the Lycian kingdom in the north, the central grassland, and even sometimes in Dakun can eat the grain with the Oriental family emblem printed on the pocket. And their money is like grain, and there are zài in all parts of the country.
It can be said that every time the Great Qian Dynasty marched and fought or built a large number of buildings, there was the shadow of the Oriental family behind it. In the special period, the royal family even had to rely on the Oriental family to raise funds and borrow grain. Therefore, even if there is no one in the Dongfang family, who dares to plunder its edge today?
However, no matter how deep the alley is, there will eventually come to an end, and in the deepest part of the Oriental Mansion, there is a rather quaint one, compared to other houses connected to each other with cloisters, flowing water, and pavilions, this small blue brick tile seems a little out of place.
But everyone in the Dongfang family knows that this place cannot be entered lightly, and the reason is that the contemporary head of the family, that is, Dongfang Yao's father, Dongfang Lingwen, is a person who likes to be quiet.
At this moment, Dongfang Lingwen was waving wantonly in the main hall, looking at his vigorous and powerful pen style, he knew that this person must be a strong and unyielding master.
"Second brother, what's going on lately?" Dongfang Lingwen finished writing the last stroke, put the thick wolf in his hand into the ink basin on the side, picked up a square towel and wiped the sweat on his hand.
"Big brother's writing is really getting better and better. "The person who is called the second brother is named Dongfang Qiang, and he is the same mother of Dongfang Lingwen. He also enjoys an unshakable position in the family, and almost all the family business affairs are in his charge on weekdays.
"Hehe, at such an old age, you still shoot your brother's ass? Don't talk nonsense, it's important to get down to business. Dongfang Lingwen turned around and poured a full cup of tea for him and handed it over.
"Big brother, at this age, you still refuse to use people. For this eldest brother who never wants to be served, Dongfang Qiang is also quite helpless. Now the Oriental family has a lot of money, but the eldest brother's diligent and thrifty style has never changed.
"Alright, alright, hurry up. Dongfang Lingwen pretended to be angry and waved his hand at his brother.
"Well, as for this season's grain, our clan has already collected it, and several grain teams are ready to go. The income and expenditure of the silver horns in various places are also quite normal, and there are no bad debts. Other small businesses such as cloth and cotton ingots are also the same as usual. It's just that at this moment, the old ghost Situ is suffering from the pain of losing his son, and his vigilance against my clan's squeezing into the leather market has also dropped a lot, so we can take the opportunity to enter at this time. Although Dongfang Qiang has a pair of sharp eyes, his gaze is extremely firm and impressive.
