A long convoy, laden with goods, entered the capital from Yongding Gate.

There were more than a dozen carts, and the wheels ran over the official road, leaving two deep ravines, which showed the heaviness of the goods on the cars.

When entering the city, the other carriages and horses had to be checked, and the soldiers defending the city were all like fierce gods, and even some of the things in the carriages were turned into a mess.

However, this team is special.

Those soldiers were just about to step forward, only to see a person in charge, who stepped forward and whispered a few words to the other party, and quietly handed over some things.

After entering the city, the man was familiar with the road and led the convoy to a mansion in the inner city.

At this time, a person who looked like a steward also walked out of the mansion and said: "Hard, hard, such a long way, I have to trouble Brother Wang to go in person." ”

The steward of the convoy immediately replied: "Brother Li is polite, my lord has always admired Gao Gong, Gao Gong lives in the temple, but he cares about the people, over the years, he has spoken for the people of Jiangnan, so although the master is in Nanjing, he reads Gao Gong every day, this time, I have collected some gadgets, and please don't dislike Gao Gong." ”

"Well said, well said!"

Steward Li of the mansion laughed and said: "My lord has always been worried about the people in Jiangnan, Brother Wang has come from afar, you might as well go to the front hall to drink tea." ”

The steward of the convoy king clasped his fists and saluted: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”

The two of them were polite for a while, and then hurried away, while the place continued to be busy, unloading the goods.

After about half an hour of busy work, all the goods on the car were moved, and then the two stewards walked out leisurely.

The two had just crossed the moon cave in the inner courtyard, but they almost collided with an old servant, and the steward surnamed Wang's face changed, and said angrily: "I don't understand the rules, you can enter and exit here?" ”

According to the rules, only the owner of the moon cave, or guests with status can walk, and the next person can only go through the side door, also known as the dog door.

The old servant stood there stupidly, with a blank expression.

Instead, Steward Li smiled disapprovingly and said, "Brother Wang, don't shout, this person is deaf and dumb, and he can't hear what you say." ”

Steward Wang glanced at the old servant with disgust on his face, forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and said, "I don't know why Brother Li wants to recruit deaf and mute people to do things? ”

After finishing speaking, he was suddenly stunned, and then reacted with admiration.

"Brother Li is cautious, and he admires him to the extreme!"

Steward Li didn't say much, just exchanged a few words, and then Steward Wang left with the convoy, while Steward Li hurried to another mansion with the accounts that had just been sorted out.

This mansion does not occupy a large area, it is a two-entry courtyard, and in the inner city, it is relatively shabby.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have expected that the dignified cabinet scholar would actually live in a two-hall courtyard.

That's right, the owner of this mansion is Gao Yu.

The thirteen-year jinshi of Yongle was entered into the cabinet by the Zhongshu Sheren, the Hanlin attendant, and the scholar who was tired of the official criminal department.

At this time, it was almost evening, and Gao Yu had already set his value, but except for some fires in the study, the other rooms of the Gao family did not hold lights.

Steward Li came to the study and presented the accounts.

Gao Yu was writing a recital, and he didn't raise his head, but just said lightly: "It's just in the account, you don't have to show it to the old man." ”

"Yes!"

Steward Li was very respectful and put away the accounts.

"The guests in Nanjing should be hospitable, and it seems that we are hospitable."

"Yes, don't worry, the villain has already been arranged."

At this time, Gao Yu seemed to think of something, so he stopped his pen and asked, "Old man remember...... Your son is not young, what are you going to do now? ”

"Back to the master, the dog is still studying."

"Is it famous?"

"Let the old man laugh, the dog has been studying hard for many years......"

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Yu said: "In a few days, the old man will arrange for him to enter the national prison, even if he has no fame, at least he can be named a prisoner." ”

Steward Li was flattered, immediately knelt down, and said excitedly: "The little one can meet the master in this life, it is really a blessing for the three lives, no matter what the master does, just give an order, and the little one will go to the soup and the fire, and he will not hesitate!" ”

"It doesn't have to be ......"

Gao Yu waved his hand and said: "I know that you are loyal and honest, but you can rest assured, stay and have a meal!" ”

Steward Li nodded happily and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Gao ordered the kitchen to serve the meal, but there was only one stir-fried greens, a cold tofu, and a plate of small pickles.

…………

On the outskirts of the city, a nameless ruined temple.

Wang Qinghai opened his eyes, but found that it was dark all around.

He was a little confused in his mind, and vaguely remembered that he had eaten, got on the sedan chair, and then took a nap, where was this?

Extreme Soul Chaos

Call!

Mengdi, a torch burned.

Wang Qinghai only felt that his eyes were shaking, startled, and hurriedly said, "Someone, where is this?" ”

I only heard a palanquin man whisper: "Manager Wang, the little ones can't do it......"

Wang Qinghai slowly regained his vision, and when he looked up, he found himself in a ruined temple.

And in front of him, holding torches, were several people in soap suits.

Wang Qinghai immediately shouted: "I am ......"

Syllable!

Before the words fell, a slap was directly fanned down.

"Bold, I am the ...... of Nanjing"

Syllable!

Another slap fell, and he was beaten to the ground, and small stars appeared in front of him.

"You, you ......"

Syllable!

The other party is obviously not a good stubble, and he didn't intend to give him a chance to speak, so the big-eared patch was directly drawn, hitting his eardrums with a ring.

Wang Qinghai's mind was buzzing, and he finally realized that tonight's matter might not be so simple.

"If I ask you anything, I will say anything, and if I don't ask you, I won't squeak, understand?"

Finally, the other party spoke.

Wang Qinghai didn't hesitate anymore, puffed down and knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "A good man spares his life!" ”

"What's it called?"

"Wang Qinghai!"

"What?"

"Do...... ...... doing business"

Brush!

A steel knife with a cold light rested on the neck, and the blade was cold and piercing, making people shudder.

Wang Qinghai suddenly felt a stream of heat flowing out of his trouser legs, and he didn't dare to hide it at the moment, so he said truthfully: "The small one is...... It is Mei Linrong, the right attendant of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry...... Lady Mei's house slave ......"

"What are you doing in Beijing?"

"Come on...... Come...... Send carbon to ......"

"What carbon homage? Be clear! ”

"That's it, it's ......" Wang Qinghai swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly, "It's a carbon tribute to the big men in Beijing, isn't it going to be winter, as soon as the day is winter, the big men in Beijing always have to burn charcoal, isn't it...... Can't you freeze them......"

"To whom?"

"Send ...... Send ......"
