Chapter 420: An Old Acquaintance

readx;

There has been a study by psychologists that shows that one and a half meters is a safe distance between people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unless it's someone you trust, know or are close to, whether it's talking or other interactions, going beyond this distance can make you feel insecure.

And Yang Tinghe walked towards the place where the old man was sitting, and when he walked to a distance of about two meters, Yang Tinghe naturally stopped.

According to the conclusion of the safe distance, Yang Tinghe showed that he was wary of the old man. Or rather, he has a fear of the elderly.

After Yang Tinghe stood still, he said: "The chief general of the Nine Sides Town, the purchase of what we have bought, and the change of defense that we have basically controlled. For the rest of the generals in the Ming Dynasty, we basically control forty percent.

According to the current forces under our control, there should be no one in the Ming Dynasty who can compete with us. What are we going to do next? Are we going to find another way to push Zhu Houxi out?"

The old man nodded and said, "I know all these things you said, and you have done a good job." But now is not the time to do it. ”

"The current Daming is like an antique vase, everyone wants to take it for themselves, but it is easy to break if there are too many people who snatch it. If it is broken, then the vase will be worthless, and it will cause us a lot of trouble.

Next, continue to control the Ming army, and wait until the day when the military power in the world is under our control, no matter who we want to be the emperor, it is just a matter of our thoughts.

When the time comes, how the world will be governed will have to listen to us. Whether it is a corrupt official or an unscrupulous minister, none of them can exist in this world!"

"Yes. Yang Tinghe replied respectfully.

Although he didn't know what happened to Daming's situation, Jiang Xia understood that Yang Tinghe would not let go of his absence, so Jiang Xia had been rushing at full speed since he came out of Wuliangha.

With the Khan's decree of Arsu in hand, Jiangxia and they are indeed unhindered all the way. Therefore, the expected rush time, Jiang Xia and they shortened by one-third.

Looking at the gate of the capital in front of him, Jiang Xia shouted: "Oh! I, Hu Hansan, are back again." ”

After shouting, Jiang Xia clamped the horse's belly and slowly entered the city.

In the city, Jiang Xia found that there seemed to be a lot of people who looked like scholars in the Jingshi. Calculate the time, Jiangxia found that the annual imperial examination has arrived again.

Walking on horseback on the streets, I looked at the inns on both sides of the road with banners such as "So-and-so Tanhualang once lived here...... so as to attract scholars to stay.

Seeing this, Jiang Xia suddenly recalled the days when people handed out leaflets everywhere on the street in later generations.

Suddenly, I saw a large banner hanging in front of an inn, which actually read, "Jiang Xia, the minister of Gu Ming, once lived here."

For the people of the entire Ming Dynasty, Jiangxia is definitely a legend within a legend. Anything related to him is a big sell.

For example, Jiuyang Feifengdan is not mentioned, and even the chair and bench he sat on when he was studying in Guozijian were sealed by Guozijian as a souvenir. And what he said when he scolded the five talents of the Xun Literature Society at the gate of Guozijian, Guozijian even chiseled it on the stone tablet for students to visit.

Because Jiang Xia had stayed in Guozijian, Guozijian seemed to be slowly recovering its glory again.

Seeing that such a small inn dared to advertise with its own name now, Jiang Xia smiled. He turned back to the six people behind him and said, "You wait for me first, I'll go in and have a look." ”

As soon as Xiao Kill looked at the big banner, he immediately understood what was happening.

The six of them also turned over and dismounted, and Xiao Shu and Yin Renmian accompanied Jiang Xia into the inn together.

The hall used by the inn to greet guests for dinner is not large, but it is already full of people, and it seems that all of them are scholars who have gone to Beijing to catch the exam.

A few runners were running back and forth in the hall, looking like a thriving business.

Jiang Xia walked to the counter, took out two ingots of silver from his bosom and said, "Give me a room where Jiang Xia's Jiang Taifu lived." ”

The man who looked like the shopkeeper at the counter squinted his small eyes and grabbed Jiang Xia's two ingots of silver and checked them. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the room where Mrs. Jiang lives is already occupied." And the room is thirty taels a night, and you are only twenty taels, so the price is not enough. ”

"Thirty taels...... One night?" Jiang Xia was speechless, he knew that his name was so good, so he should have opened a super luxurious inn in Jingshi.

Unscrupulous profiteers dare to use my name to deceive those ignorant scholars, and when they have deceived me, they have not thought of giving me too much money.

Jiang Xia thought of this, and anger came from his heart. He slammed the counter hard and yelled, "Call your boss to me!"

Jiang Xia's beat, this roar, suddenly the entire hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Jiang Xia in a daze.

The shopkeeper's eyes squeezed, and he said, "Yo, find fault, right? You don't look at what kind of place this is, and tell you that our boss has a relationship with Mrs. Jiang." You dare to find fault with us, I see that you are laying a bunk next to the thatched house, and you are not far from death ()......"

Jiang Xia sneered, and directly stretched out his hand to pull the shopkeeper out of the counter. He threw him to the ground, put his foot on his chest and said, "I want to see what kind of sacredness your boss is, so remarkable." Go, let him call Jiang Xia to see me!"

When Jiang Xia had just slapped the counter, a person who ran the hall had already secretly run out. Not long after he ran out of the inn, he encountered a patrol of officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

At this moment, Jiang Xia was stepping on the shopkeeper, and the patrol officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division happened to have arrived. The leader of the small flag held the handle of the knife at his waist in his right hand and said, "Yo yo yo...... Where did the little rabbit cub come from so arrogant, do you know that this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven! You dare to forcibly commit murder in broad daylight, come on, take it!"

"Get out!" Jiang Xia didn't want to look at the little flag more, and shouted directly.

That Xiaoqi is a figure in this market, and this inn has given him a lot of offerings on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be ignored by such a hairy boy today.

Xiaoqi was immediately furious, pulled out the saber on his waist and said, "Little rabbit cub, I don't think you want to live, right?"

Jiang Xia directly rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, revealing the four big characters "Ru I am here" and the tattoo of the jade seal.

Jiang Xia looked at Xiao Qi and said, "Do you know these four words?"

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Xia stupidly. There are many jokes related to Jiangxia in the Jingshi, including many related jokes about the most bullish tattoo in the Ming Dynasty.

The words "such as I come in person", as well as the treasure and jade seal of Fengtian. I believe that as long as there are no crazy people, they will not dare to pretend.

Xiaoqi's upper and lower teeth kept colliding, and he said in a trembling voice: "You...... Are you Mrs. Jiang?"

Jiang Xia raised his eyes and said, "The First Emperor Holy Intent is here, don't you know what to do?

Xiao Qi was already a little unable to stand, and as soon as Jiang Xia said this, he knelt on the ground as soon as his legs became weak. Xiaoqi said in a trembling voice: "Mrs. Jiang forgives the sin, the villain has someone who doesn't know Mount Tai, and the villain deserves death......"

Jiang Xia didn't pay any attention to the little flag, but lowered his head and looked at the shopkeeper at his feet and said, "Do you know who I am?"

"Know...... I know that I know ......" The shopkeeper trembled all over, and a stench suddenly came out, Jiang Xia glanced at it and realized that he was scared to pee his pants.

Jiang Xia asked, "Do you know who I am, can you call your boss now?"

"Yes, yes, you can ......" The shopkeeper swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Jiang ...... Mrs. Jiang ...... My brother-in-law...... My brother-in-law really knows you. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Xia didn't expect that the shopkeeper's death would be so stubborn, how could he never know the owner of this inn in his own memory?

"Jiang ...... Lord Jiang spares his life...... "A middle-aged man who walked into the inn with a vegetable basket knelt down in front of Jiang Xia, kowtowing and shouting.

When the middle-aged man kowtowed, Jiang Xia looked at him a few times, and finally was surprised to find that damn it, he really knew this person.

Jiang Xia helped the middle-aged man up and shouted, "Have melons?"

That's right, the middle-aged man in front of him was Zhao Yougua, who had been a servant with him in Qunfang Pavilion and slept with him in a bunk.

"How could it be you?" Jiang Xia was a little dizzy, and he made a fortune for a long time, but he really ran into an old acquaintance.

"I ......" Zhao Yougua scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.

Jiang Xia glanced at the little flag and said, "Okay, you can go, I do know this boss, it's my old acquaintance." ”

As soon as Jiang Xia finished saying this, the little flag not only did not relax, but his face turned pale, and he silently stood up from the ground. Then he glanced at Zhao Yougua as if pleading, but Zhao Yougua stared at Jiang Xia directly and didn't notice Xiaoqi's eyes.

Jiang Xia turned his head to look at the scholars who were eating in the hall, and said, "You can continue to eat, take advantage of this imperial examination, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, and talents like you are needed to join." ”

When the scholars heard Jiang Xia say this, they quickly stood up and saluted Jiang Xia and said, "Obey the teachings of Lord Taifu." ”

Jiang Xia glanced at Zhao Yougua and said, "Let's go, let's find a quiet place to talk." ”

"Okay, good ......," Zhao Yougua nodded excitedly. He didn't expect that Jiang Xia not only remembered himself, but also was so polite to himself, and he didn't blame himself at all for making money with his name.

Zhao Yougua instructed his brother-in-law to prepare a table of good wine and food, and then took Jiang Xia to the backyard.

After walking into the backyard, a woman walked out, and just opened her mouth and shouted: "There is a melon ......" The woman suddenly looked at Jiang Xia and was stunned.

Jiang Xia looked at the woman and smiled slightly, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, Sister Yuehong ...... rg."
