Chapter 49 The fifth Qi dedicates the painting to the north, and Luo Feng admonishes Luo Feng to change the newspaper

Chu Qing learned that the batch of placer gold would arrive in the suburbs of Beijing soon, and thought about how to transport it to Yuyang. He paced back and forth in the living room, and Ah Kuai entered the house, saying that Li Yunhan had never seen him back to the garden since he left Zhiyuan the day before yesterday.

"Hey, where is he going?" Chu Qing was very confused when he heard this, and told Ah Kuai to investigate and report again.

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Chong strode into the living room.

Yuan Chong said that according to Tu Kun's confession, Li Yunhan and Princess Pingyu were both from Zixu Zhenren's disciples, and the two studied art in Qingcheng Mountain when they were young.

"In this way, the two of them are senior sisters and junior brothers......

"That's right." Yuan Chong slowed down, "Tu Kun also said that every month at the beginning of the ninth month, Zixu Zhenren will retreat and cultivate, and everyone in the temple is not allowed to go out. Yuan wanted to take advantage of his retreat and cultivation to go to the Ape King Cave to investigate the truth and truth. ”

"There were accidents one after another in the previous treasure hunt, and it was time for the helper to make a hard trip." Chu Qing felt a little relieved, paused for a moment, and said, "It's just that the batch of placer gold will arrive the day after tomorrow, who will escort you when you go?" ”

"The second hall master, You Qian, has been in charge of escorting, and he will be handed over."

Chu Qing shook his head and said: "No, You Qian acted hastily, the last time Xiao Guan had an accident, it was because of him." It's better to help the master personally escort me to rest assured. ”

"Well, I'm afraid it won't work." Yuan Chong's face was embarrassed, "One, Yuan wants to explore the Ape King Cave; Second, the 3,000 stone salt bars transported from Jiezhou were temporarily stored in the official treasury of Weizhou, and I had already made an appointment with Master Chen to meet him...... In this way, it will take five days to return at the earliest. ”

"Five days, too, is too long; Yuyang is in urgent need of money, and he can't afford to delay. Chu Qing looked displeased.

Yuan Chong hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you leave it to Lord Luo?" ”

"Luo Feng ......"

"Yes. This man is faithful and prudent. In the past, he had escorted many times of valuable goods; Along the way, the passes and local relations are more familiar than mine. ”

Chu Qing thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's think about this matter again." ”

At dusk, Luo Feng ordered someone to call Lu Ke, the envoy of the hospital, to the study and asked him about Li Yunhan's current situation.

Luc said that Shirakawa was diligent in his work, and he had not gone out for several days to copy the newspaper.

"Well, that's good." Luo Feng was very relieved to hear this, relieved himself, and asked again, "How many copies did he copy?" ”

"About twenty copies."

"No, that's too slow." Luo Feng's tone was solemn, "You go and urge again, no matter what, you have to complete more than forty copies a day." ”

"Yes, sir." Luc said lightly.

"Also, it's about to be the Dragon Boat Festival, and there are still a lot of Lingnan lychees left in the house, you pick two baskets of fresh ones and send them to Yang Silang." Luo Feng commanded.

Luc looked embarrassed when he heard this: "My lord, this ......"

"Stop worrying about the old things." Luo Feng smiled, "This favor is indispensable." ”

Lucno sighed and walked out of the study.

Li Yunhan sat in the corner of the dormitory, copying the newspaper all the time, but he only completed seventeen or eighteen copies all day.

In the evening, he felt dizzy and sleepy, so he lay down at the table and took a nap. After a cold wind blew, he woke up again. He tried to find a drink, but he searched the house and couldn't find a drop of wine.

Li Yunhan walked out of the house. The night in the courtyard was dark and dark, except for the sound of the wind and the occasional cry of wild birds, and there was a deathly silence all around.

He went to the study, and saw that the door was ajar and creaked in the night wind. He remembered the jar of royal wine and planned to go into the house and drink it secretly.

Li Yunhan tiptoed onto the stone steps and stepped into the room lightly. Seeing that the room was empty, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy and reached out to get the jar of wine. Suddenly, a strong wind hit behind him, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong and hurriedly flashed, and a cold light slashed across his head.

Li Yunhan looked back, but it was two family members holding steel knives, so he hurriedly said that he had misunderstood; The two didn't say much, and they were trying to take him down step by step.

Li Yunhan was frightened into a cold sweat, and jumped out of the room from the window; As soon as he landed, two more servants came at him with knives and slashed with their knives.

At this time, Luo Feng hid in the shadows and quietly watched the battle.

Li Yunhan saw that his family was killing frequently, and he responded to the enemy calmly; After three or five rounds of fighting, they knocked them to the ground one by one. He was about to breathe a sigh when he saw a torch light up all around, and the courtyard members gathered around.

Luo Feng rushed out of the crowd, walked quickly to Li Yunhan, and asked with a solemn face What was going on?

Li Yunhan replied: "Lord Hui, I felt very sleepy after copying the Didi newspaper for a day, and I was walking in the garden, but I was intercepted and killed by two family members. ”

"Really?" Luo Feng sneered, "I didn't expect Mr. Bai to not only have good writing, but also first-class martial arts." Say, "What do you want to do here?" ”

"As I said below, I just admired adults and found an errand to do."

"Then why hide your martial arts?" Luo Feng asked sharply.

"Your Excellency has won the prize." Li Yunhan smiled slightly, "I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, how can I do it without a little kung fu to protect my life." Besides, how can I boast to adults about this bit of fist embroidered legs! ”

Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "According to the rules of the hospital, without my consent, Mr. can't walk around." ”

"This ...... It's all blamed on Bai for being careless at a certain time, and I ask for your forgiveness. "Li Yunhan is neither humble nor arrogant.

At this time, Miaojin walked to Luo Feng's side and said, "Dad, Mr. Bai has just entered the mansion, and he is not familiar with the environment." ”

Luo Feng glanced at his daughter, then turned his gaze to Yun Han, and said, "I read that you have violated the ban for the first time, and you will not be held accountable; Remember, the next is not an example. ”

Li Yunhan listened to Shen Shi's salute and hurriedly thanked him.

In the Shaoyang Palace, there is a secret room.

The prince and Cen Shen were talking, and Fu Guo arrived with the picture scroll "Shuanglin Tu".

The prince took the painting, his arm trembled, and he said in a solemn tone to Cen Shen, "According to Mr. Li's plan, I will dedicate this painting to Yang Silang." ”

"Yes, I'm going to see the fifth Qi here." Cen Shen took the painting with both hands and replied.

Fu Guo was a little reluctant to hear this, and whispered to the prince: "This painting is the treasure of the town palace, why should it be easily given to others?" ”

"If you ask someone to do something, you should be willing to give it up......" The prince seemed a little helpless, and closed his eyes slightly.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the Qixi Festival is approaching, and there are more people who come to Yang's Mansion to give gifts.

In the afternoon of this day, Jia Sheng and Wei Huaibing each brought gifts to Yang's mansion, and Yang Silang greeted them with a smile and beckoned the two to sit down and drink tea.

After greeting for a while, Yang Silang sank his face and said to Jia Sheng: "My lord is a frequent visitor to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, I don't know what news there is recently?" ”

"Back to my lord, Lin Xiang has been unwell recently, and he stays at home all day, and often sits alone and sighs." Jia Sheng replied cautiously.

Yang Silang showed a hint of pride on his face when he heard this, and said, "He's old, and he can't do it anymore." ”

"What your lord says is very true." Wei Huaibing echoed, "Wang Gong was killed, Chen Yeshuo was demoted, and Ji Wen went to the border again, and now the old thief can't make any big waves anymore." ”

"The man who is about to die is still dying on the phase, see how long he can survive!" Yang Silang said hatefully.

As he was talking, the housekeeper Yang Ke came to report, saying that Luo Feng sent Lu Ke to send two baskets of fresh li.

Yang Silang heard that he wanted to see his side, but was stopped by Wei Huaibing: "Adults are slow, this gift is not light." ”

"But two baskets of fresh lychees can be worth a few cents!" Yang Silang was very disdainful.

"Your Excellency misunderstood." Wei Huaibing stretched his neck and leaned forward, "Luo Feng is Chu Mohan's confidant, and he is very close to Lin Fu, I'm afraid these two baskets of Xianli have ulterior motives." ”

"Well, I get it." Yang Silang thought for a while, and then looked at Yang Ke, "Fourth brother, accept it." I said that I was not feeling well today, and I would not see him. ”

Yang Kenuo sighed, turned and left.

After a while, Fifth Qi came to meet again. He told Yang Silang that he was going to celebrate the Qixi Festival, and he specially sent a painting treasured by his ancestors, Wu Daozi's landscape painting - "Shuanglin Map".

Yang Silang unfolded the painting and took a closer look, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Well, it's indeed a real work!" It is said that this painting is a work of painting the holy seal pen, and it is hard to find a thousand gold. ”

"Adults have good eyesight!" Fifth Qi paused, his face solemn, "However, this painting is dedicated to Your Majesty." ”

Yang Silang was very disappointed when he heard this, and said, "Why is this? ”

"This move by my subordinates is also for the sake of adults." Wu Qi took back the "Shuanglin Tu" and said slowly, "Although the lord is the left minister, but there is Lin Fu everywhere in the court, don't you feel aggrieved?" But if you want to bring down the forest thief, you have to nod your majesty! ”

"What the Fifth Adult said is very true." Yang Silang nodded lightly, "The forest thief will not die for a day, and my phase will be unstable for a day." But you can also see that His Majesty only used me to check and balance the government, and did not want to put him to death. ”

Fifth Qi said: "Adults are worry-free, there is a plan for the bottom, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Say it." Yang Silang raised his eyebrows.

Fifth Qi glanced at Jia Sheng, Yang Silang immediately understood, and said with a smile: "It's all my own people, but it's okay to say it." ”

Fifth Qi suggested to him that if he wanted to get rid of Limfur, he might as well start from his periphery.

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Silang was stunned for a moment and said.

"Since Wang Gong and Chen Yeshuo fell, no one among the courtiers has been waving their flags and shouting for the forest thieves. Now the only person he relies on is Chu Mohan, who is at the border. If the adult cuts off the arm surnamed Chu, then the right minister will not be at his fingertips. ”

Yang Silang smiled contemptuously when he heard this, and said: "Chu Mohan is a martial artist, what can he do to me if he is far away at the border!" ”

"Adults are really forgetful." Fifth Qi looked solemn, "I think Chu Mohan didn't become a left-hand minister at the beginning, and he often resents adults; If the two of them collude inside and outside and attack together, then it is difficult to say your phase. ”

"It's difficult!" Wei Huaibing shook his head, "Chu Mohan is deeply favored by the emperor, in the past, someone accused him of rebellion, but His Majesty not only did not believe it, but handed over the person who told him to deal with it...... It's too tricky to be careless. ”

"Yes, it's not easy." Yang Silang said.

"Don't worry, adults." The fifth Qi put the "Shuanglin Tu" on the table, and said, "In order to bring down Chu Mohan, the adults can choose to send a capable person to the north to make Yuyang and secretly collect evidence of his crimes; When the time is ripe, impeachment will be played and it will be taken down in one fell swoop. ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Yang Silang glanced at "Shuanglin Tu", with a melancholy expression, "It's just that if you want to succeed in the north, how can you do it without the right person!" ”

The fifth Qi said that he was willing to protect the service of Shi Dafu, and this will be done.

Yang Silang shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Although Da Fu is talented and capable, how can he be loyal to me?" ”

Fifth Qi rubbed the "Shuanglin Map" for a while, and said slowly: "As far as his subordinates know, he is straightforward and dissatisfied; Moreover, this person is low-key and neutral, and has never been involved in the factional dispute between the DPRK and China, so it is not easy for people to be suspicious. If you are still not at ease, you might as well talk to him face-to-face, and then it will not be too late. ”

"No need," Yang Silang smiled and immediately settled down, and ordered to return to the north to make Yuyang.

Luo Feng deliberately embarrassed Li Yunhan and ordered him to copy 230 copies of the newspaper alone and complete it within seven days.

Li Yunhan kept copying all the time, and he was so tired that he couldn't breathe. But even so, at the end of the day, I could not copy more than twenty or thirty copies.

The more Li Yunhan wrote, the more bored he felt; He wants to go out drinking, but he is afraid of being discovered.

While meditating, Miaojin entered the house with a fruit bowl, and when he saw his tired appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said, "If you go on like this, won't you be tired of your brother......"

Li Yunhan sighed and said, "At this rate, I'm afraid it won't be completed on schedule." ”

"Do you regret it?"

"It's nothing to suffer a little." Li Yunhan smiled sadly, "It's just that there is no wine to drink, and the more I write, the more boring I become." ”

"Drink," Miaojin suddenly sank his face and asked him what he wanted to do when he entered the mansion?

"Didn't I say it earlier, it's good to do an errand when you enter the theater."

"Can you afford such drudgery? Also, aren't you afraid that Qing Gongzi will come to the door? Miaojin asked rhetorically.

Li Yunhan smiled: "It's a while to be able to hide for a while." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Achun entered the house and said that a young man surnamed Du was looking for him outside the door.

"There's wine to drink now." Li Yunhan laughed loudly when he heard this, and then walked out of the concert hall with Miaojin.

It turned out that Da Fu had something to find Li Yunhan, but Shaoling couldn't stand his repeated entanglements, so he had to bring him to see him.

Da Fu glanced at Miaojin and said that he hadn't seen him for a few days, and he wanted to accompany Li Yunhan for a drink.

"It's really a long drought and a rainy day," Li Yunhan was overjoyed when he heard this, and moved his gaze to Miaojin, "I'm going crazy to drink these days." ”

"Go ahead, don't forget to go early and come back early." Miao Jin thought for a moment, "If someone in the house asks, they will say that they will accompany me to the East Market to buy something." ”

"You're not with us anymore?" Du Shaoling asked.

"Hmm. After the Chinese Valentine's Day, I want to go to the East Market and buy some light and soft Suzhou and Hangzhou silk for my mother to make a new dress. Miao Jin replied.

Bidding farewell to Miaojin, Li Yunhan and others went to Haiming Tower, and after sitting down, they first asked the store for two jars of Fengque wine; He poured a full glass of wine and drank seven or eight glasses in a row, and Fang Jue felt a little drunk.

Da Fu frowned lightly, said that the concert hall was the land of the tiger's den, and asked him why he went there?

"Of course there is something to do." Li Yunhan smiled indifferently, "Sometimes the more sinister the place, the safer it is." Zhiyuan is secluded and often harassed. The Jinjuyuan is Chu Mohan's intelligence center in Beijing, and has close contacts with Lin Fu, Qing Gongzi and others, if you want to find out the truth, how can you do it? ”

"Oh, I see." Da Fu nodded, "What's the catch?" ”

"What's the hurry;" Li Yunhan closed his eyes slightly, "I see Luo Feng has a good character, but he got on the thief ship by mistake; If you can win him over, it will be more conducive to action. ”

"Brother Li is thoughtful and admirable." Da Fu took a sip of wine, "I went to Zhiyuan at dusk the day before yesterday, only to see that the gate was closed and there was smoke in the courtyard. I looked through the crack in the door, and it turned out to be a dumb aunt burning paper under the tree, muttering to herself...... I wondered, isn't she dumb, how could she talk again? ”

"What did she say?" Li Yunhan smiled slightly.

"She said that she was going to celebrate Qixi Festival, and she missed Lord Shi...... I knocked on the door again, but there was no movement. ”

"It's not a secret, the dumb aunt was originally a maid in Shixiang's mansion, and because of the sudden misfortune of Lord Shi, she took refuge under the pseudonym dumb aunt." Seeing that Da Fu was still at a loss, Li Yunhan stopped and asked again, "Brother Da didn't come here to talk about this, right?" ”

"Hmm." Da Fu nodded, "Yang Silang has agreed to the proposal of the fifth Qi, and wants to send me to the north to Yuyang to verify Chu Mohan's lawlessness." When I finished this errand, I just took a detour to the surrendered city to meet General Asno. ”

"Can the edict be issued?"

"Not yet."

Li Yunhan said: "There are many dreams at night, if Lin Fu notices it, he will definitely get in the way." ”

"This, whether it can be made or not, we still need to be prepared for the northern envoy." Da Fu paused, "Before leaving, I don't know what else Brother Li has to say?" ”

Li Yunhan thought for a moment and said: "Asno is in the surrendered city, Guo Yi is in Jiuyuan County, the two places are not far apart, and they are horns against each other. If one party has something to do, you can ask the other party for help. I have an old relationship with General Guo, and now I am repairing a book, to make this meaning, please bring it to Marquis Jingyuan. ”

Da Fu nodded, and then ordered the shopkeeper to get a pen and paper. Li Yunhan rolled up his sleeves and wrote in front of the dining table. His fingers trembled from the long hours of transcription, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

Du Shaoling saw that his eyes were swollen and he was struggling to write, so he sneered: "Copying is not a good errand, right?" ”

"Alas, it is indeed unbearable." Li Yunhan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Du came just in time, drink and accompany me to the Temple of Mercy and Grace." ”

"Go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace ......"

"Well, there's something I need you to help me with." Li Yunhan said and handed the written letter to Da Fu, and told him a few more words.

Miaojin came back from Dongshi and rested for a while, and her mother Liu walked into the house. Liu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw those silk fabrics, and praised his daughter for her filial piety. The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Liu talked about marriage; said that her daughter is not too young, and it is time to find a wishful husband.

"Mother, you are urging again; I haven't had enough of it. Miaojin complained softly.

"Hmph, I'm in my early twenties and still want to play." Liu Shi sank his face, "Say, did you fall in love with Mr. Bai?" ”

Miaojin's face turned red after hearing this, and said, "Mother, what are you talking nonsense......

"Hugh will hide from me; As soon as he entered the house, I understood your intentions. ”

"Mother, please," Miaojin leaned to Liu, "Don't tell my dad yet, okay?" ”

Liu sighed and agreed......

In recent days, Luo Feng has been concerned about copying the Di newspaper. In the afternoon, he read the recent newspapers from other houses, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Luo Feng entered Li Yunhan's bedroom, but he didn't see him, and his heart tightened, and said, "What about Mr. Bai?" ”

"I don't know the little ones; He and the young lady went out early in the morning and never saw each other again. Ah Chun, who was accompanying him, replied in a low voice.

Luo Feng hurriedly walked to the table, flipped through the newspaper casually, and said angrily: "Why did you write these copies!" ”

"This, there are more than fifty copies in total."

"It's nearly two hundred servings away." Luo Feng sighed, "It's going to be sent the day after tomorrow, and at this rate, even ten people won't have time to write it overnight." ”

"My lord, don't slow down ...... anymore"

"Hmph, he dares to mistake me for a big thing, and he will never spare it!" Luo Feng said and walked out of the house in a huff.

Luo Feng wandered restlessly in the courtyard for a while, and suddenly heard someone talking and laughing in the front yard, and when he looked up, he saw Li Yunhan and two strange men hurriedly walking in with many bags on their backs.

Luo Feng stepped forward to stop him, with a gloomy face, and said, "Mr. Bai, what's wrong with the copying?" ”

"Adults are not in a hurry, and they will never make a mistake here." Li Yunhan's tone was calm.

"There are only two days left, how can I not be in a hurry?!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll pick it up tomorrow." Li Yunhan's face was light.

"Foolish dreams, there are still nearly two hundred copies left!" Luo Feng sneered, and looked at the two young juniors again, "Without my consent, why did you bring the living into the mansion?" ”

"Ahem, I forgot to tell you." Li Yunhan smiled slightly, and pointed to Shaoling and another man, "These two are guys from the Bodhi Printing Workshop, one is called Xiao Lin and the other is called Xiao Tong, who are here to help me print the Di newspaper." ”

"Printing the Di Bao ......" Luo Feng looked angry, "Sir, what a whimsical!" ”

"Of course it can be printed. When Bai traveled to Yangzhou, many Buddhist and Taoist scriptures were made by the printing workshop, which was extremely exquisite. If the scriptures can be printed, why not the newspapers? After Li Yunhan finished speaking, he took out the "Vimala Sutra" from his body, "This scripture was printed by Xiao Tong and them, please take a look at it." ”

Luo Feng took it and took a rough look.

Xiao Tong pointed to the mold on his body and said, "My lord, this is called engraving printing, and it has just become popular in Beijing; It is not fast, and the printed handwriting is clear and beautiful. ”

"Two hundred copies of the newspaper, as long as the mold is engraved, it will be printed in half an hour." Du Shaoling followed.

Seeing that Luo Feng was still a little uncertain, Li Yunhan said again: "My lord, in order to save the engraving time, I also called four carvers and are waiting outside the house. ”

"This, what if it doesn't work......" Luo Feng was still skeptical.

At this time, Miaojin walked closer and said, "Dad, don't force it, time is pressing, let Mr. Bai give it a try." ”

Luo Feng sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, Mr. Bai, I will believe you once; However, if you still can't produce a qualified Di newspaper within two days, don't blame Luo for turning his face and being ruthless! ”

"Yes, sir." Li Yunhan smiled indifferently, "I am willing to be punished." ”

Seeing this, Miaojin immediately ordered Ah Chun to be discharged from the hospital and called the clerks outside the door......
