Chapter 247: Kaifeng Mansion Yin Nie Mountain
"Chairman?"
Master Li looked deeply at Jiang Chen's back, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She never expected that after Jiang Chen's casual question at that time, she would actually keep this matter in her heart, which rekindled hope in her desperate heart.
As a result, Master Li looked forward to it for a while, was apprehensive for a while, and lost sleep directly.
At the same time, there is also Guo Haochu who has insomnia.
Their Guo family is currently in an extremely embarrassing situation, the old marquis Guo Shuo is sick in bed, and his health is not as good as day by day.
According to the chaotic inheritance rules of the Great Song Dynasty, once the old marquis died, he, as the eldest son, would either be demoted to the rank of lord or enter the throne.
And what kind of result depends entirely on Song Huizong's mood.
If he didn't want to lose his title like the Pan family, the best way was to marry the royal family, so he went to curry favor with Cai Jing and his party, and even bribed the eunuchs in the palace to actively pave the way for his sister Guo Xinyan.
Originally, he thought that the matter of choosing a concubine was already secure, but today's sudden appearance of Zhu Lian, as well as the satisfied eyes of Song Huizong and Empress Zheng, and even the crown prince looking at Zhu Lian, made him uneasy.
"Damn Jiang Chen! It's just that you snatched my woman, and you still want to ruin the future and title of my Guo family, is there really no way for me to take you? ”
"Humph! It's just looking for death! ”
The more Guo Haochu thought about it, the more angry he became, and directly called his henchman Guo Shoudao: "Go and inform Han Hu, send some more people to keep an eye on Jiang Chen's family and the Zhu family sisters, and if there is a chance, I will be arrested and hidden in the underground labyrinth."
Ben Gongzi wants them to know what the consequences will be if they force me urgently! ”
When Guo Shou heard this, his eyelids jumped, and he reminded: "Childe, before, several of our little poles that went to spy on Li Qingzhao and Li Niangzi were inexplicably lost, and I don't know which side of the people they fell into.
In case it falls into Jiang Chen's hands, I am afraid that many secrets of the underground labyrinth have been tortured by him, and it is really not easy for us to provoke his family at this time, but we should focus on the matter of choosing a concubine! Please think twice! ”
"Humph! How many things can those little poles know? ”
Guo Haochu looked disapplieving: "You just have to tell me to go down!" Jiang Chen can rob his son's woman, and his son can naturally play with his woman.
Even if the matter is revealed, we can't find our heads, what are you afraid of? ”
“…… Be. ”
Guo Shou thought about it and thought it made sense, after all, as long as he didn't catch the old pole Han Hu and the others, no one would know the secret of Fan Lou's secret control of the underground forces.
So, after receiving the order, he went directly to the underground along the secret passage of the garden.
……
On the second day, there were suddenly more vendors setting up stalls at the entrance of the alley outside Jiangfu, and the number of beggars squatting in the corners with bamboo poles was more than double that of the previous days.
This made Jiang Chen, who had already had a preliminary understanding of the power of the underground labyrinth, very vigilant, and sent someone to order Cheng Yong to bring some more people to patrol here, and at the same time came to the royal villa area.
He handed over the matter of the three-day military comparison to Zhou Dong, and he didn't take it to heart, after all, when it came to military talent, Lan Congxi, Tan Zhen and Cai Jing were not enough for Zhou Dong to fight with one hand.
And if the Royal Chamber of Commerce wants to officially operate according to his ideas and become a gold-sucking monster, there are two more prerequisites:
One is to create watermark banknotes that cannot be imitated, and the other is to solve Cai Jing's hidden danger of using the food crisis to trap him.
So he plans to put off all these things until the autumn, and the top priority is to deal with those vicious old underground poles.
So, he directly arranged a good show for Song Huizong.
At noon, Song Huizong took a large group of courtiers who came to accompany the king, planning to go to the theater to watch the play while tasting the barbecue dinner that he hadn't eaten enough yesterday.
Unexpectedly, he saw a lot of beggars on the road, which made Song Huizong, who was in a good mood, frown.
Kong Duanyou couldn't help but ask Jiang Chen with a face full of disdain: "Jiang Chen, didn't you say that the people of Yuqing Villa are all happy and rich?" How can there still be so many beggars?
You shouldn't have deliberately acted in front of the official family and hid all the poor people, right? ”
"These beggars are not from Yuqing Villa."
Jiang Chen shook his head and explained, "Many of the displaced people who were stranded in Bianjing heard that the people of Yuqing Villa were living a prosperous life, so they came to ask for some food, or to find a livelihood or something.
The official also tried his best to arrange the benevolence of the official family. However, there are many healthy people who do not want to work and only beg on the streets every day.
After all, no one wants to watch them starve to death, but since the number of beggars who are unwilling to work has increased, it is really disturbing that there have been several cases of women going missing. ”
"The woman is missing? They can't be old underground poles who specialize in abducting and selling women, right? ”
Kaifeng Mansion Yin Nieshan frowned and asked.
As the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, he dreamed of exterminating those demons who had been hiding in the underground labyrinth all year round, so as to make immortal achievements.
It's a pity that every time someone is sent to chase them underground, they can only catch some small fish and shrimp, and no one dares to go deep at all, because the people who go deep to investigate are missing.
This made him very helpless.
"Not bad! Xia Guan did catch some underground poles. ”
Jiang Chen nodded at Nie Shan.
Although Nie Shan is Cai You's person, Jiang Chen admires Nie Shan more.
Because this Nie Shan was later praised by Song Huizong for his righteousness of Zhou Chang's resistance to the festival because he risked his death, appealed to King Zhu and Cai to thank the world, and resolutely advocated resisting Jin, and gave the name Nie Chang to kill Wang Huang.
History's evaluation of this person is: Nie Chang is a sparse person and likes to save people in need, but the grievances are too clear, and they will be repaid. The main reason why he sent someone to kill Wang Hao was that Wang Hao slandered him in front of Cai Jing and caused him to lose his official position.
But no matter what, on the whole, this is a good official who is strict and lawful, and is not afraid of the powerful, which is the so-called cool official in the eyes of Kong Duanyou.
Therefore, Jiang Chen thought that this person could cooperate, nodded and continued: "Xia Guan originally wanted to forcibly arrest them, but he was afraid that he would catch the wrong good person and cause trouble, so he was worried!" ”
After that, he bowed to Nie Shan and Cai Jing and said, "Isn't it Lord Fu Yin and Cai Xiang who think this matter should be done?" ”
Hmm-
Do you know I'm Cai Xiang now?
Hum!
Cai Jing glanced at Jiang Chen unexpectedly, too lazy to take care of it, happy to see Yuqing Villa making jokes.
Nie Shan agreed: "If there is a suitable job for them, they can be fed and clothed, but the official thinks that it should be enforced."
Those who are unwilling and resist must be the old poles underground, and that kind of filthy treacherous person, even if he is killed by mistake, he deserves it! ”
