Be steadfast in being a passerby v. 107
"Be specific." Xue Bingning turned his face away, not wanting to see his stinginess in collecting copper coins.
"Three pennies is enough to buy a word, but too much is not allowed." Before in Shengran Mountain, Lu Yao found that the master and nephew were very compatible with that local atmosphere. It is not an exaggeration to say that wasteland can definitely prosper in the hands of the master and nephew. In the same way, the earth will also feed back to the master and nephew. This is the prosperity of the people.
Datai, who was at the Xizikou Post Station in Tanzhou, learned that Tan Siyu had been forced to blow himself up in public by Langyue'an, and his left hand was tightly clasped around the edge of his robe, his neck was swollen, and the flesh on his cheeks was twitched two or three times, and his saliva overflowed the corners of his mouth.
There was deathly silence all around. Seeing that he did not refute, the dozen or so brown-clothed monks who surrounded Datai closed their eyes one by one and turned their prayer wheels.
One breath is like a string that is extremely tight, holding in the throat. Datai's eyes were torn, and his life... He endured his anger in Sifolon Monastery for decades, because of... Because the self-explosion of that evil seed has become a joke. An old tear rolled down, and he looked down at his black and gold robe.
After reciting the scriptures, more than a dozen monks stopped turning the prayer wheel, they were not Tantric monks, but the warrior monks of Xifolong Temple who came down from Xiwang Mountain to assist Datai in tracking down the death of Xuanling Ancestor.
Datai closed his eyes and raised his head slightly.
The two warrior monks stepped forward and wanted to take off their robes for him. Datai raised his hand to stop them, trembling his lips and opening his mouth, and then said, "This seat will come by itself." "If he takes off this robe, he will no longer be a senior monk of Xifolong Temple. Without this identity, his prestige in Tantra would have plummeted.
The Bul clan is prosperous. Han Lingshu, there is only one, and she is also the eternal princess of the Bul clan. But there are countless concubines like him. When Tan Siyu was six years old, Xu was taught by Tan Xiangle, stood in front of him, raised his head and said firmly in a childish voice that Siyu would become the second Han Lingshu.
Touching the button, Datai couldn't hold back his tears, at this moment he regretted that Rong Tan Xiangle left a fetus in the womb. He had completely forgotten how happy he had been when he looked at Tan Siyu in the past, and even more so that he regarded Tan Siyu as the best evidence of his rebellion against Han Lingshu.
The robe fell to the ground, and more than a dozen warrior monks said: "Amitabha." ”
Chapter 88
After decades of development, the prosperity of the capital is unprecedented. It is not uncommon for pedestrians on the road to be dressed as people and to cross the streets on a fast horse, and everyone is careful to avoid this.
The fast horse entered the East City, slowed down for three moments, and turned into Huaiyu Alley. When it was ten zhang away from the Chengnan Palace, the horseman dismounted and led the horse to the gate.
Chengnan Wangfu Yonghua Hall, hundreds of monks have retreated to the hall to chant scriptures. In the hall, Meng Yao, who was so thin that his cheeks were a little sunken, stood by the coffin, quietly looking at the dry bones in the coffin wearing the princess's formal clothes, and holding a delicate and luxurious phoenix hairpin in his hand.
Bashan led the messenger to the outside of Yonghua Hall, looked at the prince in the hall, and did not dare to enter or disturb him.
Meng Yao leaned over and placed the phoenix hairpin on the dry bone's head. In three days, Brother Yao will send you to Beihan Mountain. Don't be afraid, Brother Yao has moved his aunt's tomb to Beihan Mountain, which is also very close to the tomb of his father and princess.
Fingers stroked the dry bones, and there was a warm smile in his eyes as he pulled his lips. Yingying, one day, we will see you again. The golden hairpin of the pavilion held in his hand was straightened, and Meng Yao stood for another half a moment before turning around.
Bashan and the messenger followed the master out of Yonghua Hall and went to the main courtyard.
Outside the study room of the main courtyard, Bard guarded, and when he saw the prince coming back, he immediately bowed his head and raised his right hand to his chest. After entering the study, there was no need for the master to ask, Bashan opened his mouth and said: "Lord Wang, Tan Siyu was forced by several nuns from Langyue Nunnery to reveal her life experience at the gate of Chongzhou City. ”
Meng Yao's face did not reveal: "Where did you get the letter from Langyue Nunnery?" ”
Bashan looked at the messenger, and the messenger immediately returned: "Someone secretly said that Langyue'an asked about the first boundary building. ”
Is it? Meng Yao's eyelashes fell, and he was silent.
Bashan whispered: "It's not strange that Yijielou knows. After Tan Siyu gained the skill of reciting the old nun in the moon hermitage, she wandered in the martial arts of the Central Plains in the name of looking for her mother. Although she and her mother have been talking about Xiangle for many years, because of the cold Lingshu, there are many people who know that they talk about Xiangle.
Moreover, Tan Xiangle has not been at ease since he was brought back to Montu by Datai last year. Obviously, she had only served Han Lingshu, but she opened her mouth and closed her mouth to say that she was raised by Han Lingshu, and she not only had close contacts with Princess Yuling's mansion, but also went to curry favor with the mistress of the Bul clan three times and twice. In private, it is rumored that she has an unusual relationship with Datai, and she has never shied away from it.
In the past, Datai was in charge of Tantra, and everyone turned a blind eye to this. But later, Han Lingshu's tomb appeared, and Datai had no reason to stay in the Central Plains, so he had no choice but to let go of Tantra. And because Han Lingshu has a descendant disciple, his position in Xifolong Temple will also be retreated.
The power that Tan Xiangle relies on has been greatly reduced, and how can each family have a good face for a cheap maid, of course, they can step on it. The slave thought that the people of the First Boundary Building should have come to Mengdu. ”
Mengdu only privately rumored that the relationship between Xiangle and Datai was not simple, but no one dared to assert that Tan Siyu, the daughter of Xiangle, was Datai's. Meng Yao blinked, in fact, he was very good How did Qi Yan Qing know that Yingying was buried in the Xiaoyin Mountain Cemetery on the southern outskirts of Luohe City?
What is she doing when she has nothing to do at the Little Yin Mountain Cemetery? Or is there someone she wants to worship in the Xiaoyinshan cemetery?
Bashan said again: "Lord, no matter where you got the letter from Yue'an, it is a great thing for you that they can force Tan Siyu to reveal her life experience." Datai left Xiwang Mountain this time with the sixteen warrior monks of Xifolong Temple..."
"Xifolong Temple no longer believes in Datai, and these sixteen warrior monks followed Datai into the Central Plains to investigate the death of Han Lingshu, not to contain the king." Meng Yao had been at Xifolong Temple for nearly ten years, and he knew that Xifolong Temple disdained hypocrisy. The temple said that when the warrior monk entered the Central Plains to investigate Han Lingshu's death, it must only be to investigate Han Lingshu's death, and he would not ask about it.
"The slave knows, the slave wants to say that there is a warrior monk, and Datai's robe can't be taken off if he wants to."
Indeed, Meng Yao didn't expect that he would hold a funeral for Yingying in Mengdu, and he didn't have to think about it at all, so Zhongyuan Wulin first abolished Mu Kun for him and then pulled Datai.
"Mu Kun's injury, what do you say about the hospital?"
"The head of the Tai Hospital said that if Siqin was still there, Xu Mukun would still be able to stand up."
I shot through my kneecaps and stood up... Meng Yao sneered: "Then this king will first wish this king's good aunt to find Siqin." ”
Princess Yuling's Mansion, which was a few streets away from the Chengnan Palace, had fallen into a depression since Mu Kun was seriously injured. After Yan Yang City's Daru Hua Chi Li personally sent Mu Kun back, everyone in the princess's mansion was in danger.
"Get out..."
There were again roars and smashing sounds in the hall of the Shan Yong, and the two young girls, who were so tender that they could pinch out the water, were disheveled and crawled out of the house.
In the West Garden, the golden sunlight shines through the door and shines on the body of a woman kneeling in front of the Buddha and chanting. The woman's skin was pale, her eye sockets were slightly deep, but there were no fine lines at the ends of her eyes, and her black hair was tied only with a cloth belt. A tall and strong-looking Mongolian woman stepped inside, and returned to the good and brave hall, and did not shy away from sitting on the Buddha statue in the sitting.
The woman, Meng Yuling, Mu Kun's mother, knocked on the wooden fish again and again, and recited the scriptures with her mouth.
After the incident, the mother-in-law said with annoyance: "The marquis was very happy last night, and asked for water four times. The slave asked the servants in the courtyard, as if the girl who was Li Huan woke up facing the severed arm of the marquis, and was frightened, which caused the marquis to be angry. ”
Qianzhi slammed on the wooden fish, Meng Yuling opened his eyes, and his tone was flat: "Lock them up, and kill them if there is no joy in a month." ”
"Yes." Mother-in-law blessing: "There is another thing, the letter that just came, Tan Xiangle's daughter was forced to blow herself up. ”
"Her father is Datai?" Meng Yuling was a little affirmative.
"Yes." The mother-in-law hesitated, but still confided what she thought in her heart: "Princess, it is not a way for the Marquis of Nujue County to go on like this, and there must still be individuals around to guard it." Although Tan Xiangle is a little lowly, it is better because the mold is not wrong, and the girl she raised should not be bad. ”
Meng Yuling frowned: "What do you mean... Married Tan Siyu for Kun'er? ”
"Yes. Datai took off his robe, and he was still the deputy suzerain of Tantra, but his prestige was not as good as before. The marquis of the county married Tan Siyu, and with you supporting him, are you still afraid that Datai will not be able to take Tantra? The mother-in-law's voice gradually became smaller: "Control the tantric sect, and the princess's major affairs will have two more chances of winning." ”
After a few breaths, Meng Yuling smiled: "The method is not wrong, but the top priority is to hurry up to relieve Kun'er's feelings." ”
When she said this, her mother-in-law hated: "That Li Shang really doesn't know each other." ”
"He has backers." Meng Yuling lost his childishness. The mother-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to help: "That's it, Yan Qing is also worthy?" If Han Lingshu is still alive, they are so arrogant, and the slave also admits it. ”
Standing up, Meng Yuling shook aside the hand he was holding and turned to face the door: "Li Shang Yan Qing knows who the lord of Yuling Palace and Qinfeng Tower is, so I have to step up." How's the drug going? ”
"Nine of them are paralyzed, but they can still survive." The mother-in-law said: "The codex sent by the old gentleman said that after only a few months of taking medicine, my body would be particularly uncomfortable. But as long as you get through it, then there is no need to be afraid. ”
Meng Yuling nodded: "How many old things have you caught?" ”
"It's not easy to grasp things that people are old and sophisticated. Now only two have been caught, one is the one who was lured to Qiufengling with the help of the Xu family in Chongzhou, called Xun Li. One was that he mistakenly entered the White Fox Mountain in Penghejiang and touched the organ of Lu Jiabu there, named Shi Ning, who was the head of the Hanshan faction in Fengya Mountain. ”
"Too little." Meng Yuling twisted her eyebrows: "Didn't Yan Qing kill Gushan?" No one in Shaolin went down the mountain to find her? ”
"This..."The mother-in-law bowed her head: "The slave has not yet received the letter." "The people under his command were also eyeing the reckless apprentice of Wuli, but they were only halfway ruined by a monk. If no one was caught, she didn't dare to mention it.
Meng Yuling's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Find a way to lead a few old goods from Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei down the mountain." I have spent so much effort and effort, and what I want is not to be strong in martial arts, but to be the best in the world in martial arts. ”
"Yes."
On the Chongzhou side, the Chinese returned to the city and told the steward that Dr. Li and his family would not buy the land in Shengran Mountain, and they would go to the official office without even drinking saliva.
When Ma Hao learned that Li Shang did not buy the wasteland of Shengran Mountain, his heart sank, and he immediately sent someone to Xu's house to inform him that he would measure the land tomorrow.
When the brothers Xu Weihai and Xu Weijiang heard that they were measuring the land tomorrow, they didn't know how to answer for a while. Speaking of which, if they don't show up tomorrow, they will offend the Chongzhou officials and die. No, they won't buy the land, and it is estimated that the government will not be able to spare the Xu family.
What can I do?
The official did not care about the faces of the two of them, and when the notice arrived, he would complete the order given by the adults, and the people next to him had nothing to do with him. He said goodbye and left.
The two brothers took a few steps to each other, stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched the official errand go away before retracting his gaze and glancing at each other to go back to the lobby.
"It's all your bad idea." Xu Weihai complained.
Xu Weijiang scolded angrily: "That talk about Siyu is really useless. If she speaks to some use, we will not increase the price to stir up trouble and delay time. ”
What's the use of talking about that now? Xu Weihai said: "You can't start with Shengran Mountain. ”
He also knows. Xu Weijiang paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back: "I have to think of ideas and prevaricate the matter of measuring the land." ”
"How?" Xu Weihai waited, but anyway, he couldn't think of a way to buy the land of Shengran Mountain without offending the officials.
After more than ten laps back and forth, Xu Weijiang's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and he scolded the Song family in his mouth: "Why live a stable life, don't mess with Li Shang... Damn, Li Shang didn't deceive his family, they said it easily..."
At noon the next day, the Chinese people drove the ox cart with a smile and dragged six old and young people who were described as withered as passing through the Dashiji. A young man recognized the people in the ox cart, cried out with a wow, and rushed up with a basket. The Chinese hurriedly pulled the ox to a halt, and the young man hugged the gray-haired old man on the longboard.
The old man was dirty, his old eyes were yellow, and he pursed his mouth and stroked his eldest grandson's head. The two middle-aged people on the side wiped their tears, and after half their lives, they didn't think that they would be able to stay in prison for a few days. They still think that they will not be able to get out of the gloom alive.
Most of the people in Dashiji were from Xunjiatun, and they were all overjoyed to see a few pedants returning. Some people scooped water, others took fruit and bread, and sent them to ox carts. The pork stall owner picked up the bone chopping knife and evened out the remaining catties of meat on the stall, tied it with a straw rope, tied it in a knot, and took it out, saying with a condensed voice: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
The clever little baby ran to Xunjiatun and began to shout from the mouth of Tunzi: "The master is back, the master is back..."
Xin Shansi, who was about to take Li Jiujiu to the backyard, stopped and turned to look at Dr. Li who was washing diapers: "The Xu family didn't buy land. ”
"There must have been a trouble, otherwise how could the officials let go of our Xunjiatun people for nothing?" Xue Bingning's heart was as comfortable as pouring a big scoop of herbal tea on a hot day, and he clapped his hands for a long time: "Auntie will take you to see the excitement." ”
Li Jiujiu grinned, and his small body was really tilted to the side. Xin Shansi puffed her little chin twice and gave her to Binghuan: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
When several old people in the tun heard the news, they all came, and the road was full of people.
The Chinese led the oxen and slowly went to Xunjiatun: "Don't let them come down, they have suffered the big sin, and they must go home and take good care of themselves." He didn't even need anyone to ask, so he told the matter, "This time the six gentlemen were released, and it was really thanks to Dr. Li's family." Dr. Li and his wife wanted to buy the land in Shengran Mountain, and everyone must have heard about it. ”
"Yes, yes," the man who walked with the ox cart asked, "Didn't you say that you were disturbed by the Xu family?" ”
"It's stirred." The smile on the face of the Chinese man was brighter than today's: "Dr. Li's family is a smart person. The two of them knew the market, and as soon as they heard that the Xu family was going to spend two taels of silver and one acre to buy the wasteland in Shengran Mountain, they immediately gave the land to them. The official family was not stupid, and when they learned that Dr. Li would not buy it, they quickly sent someone to Xu's house to say that the land would be measured tomorrow. As a result..."I couldn't help laughing, "Today, the Xu family is all sick, and they have invited a doctor." This can make the people who are so angry that they slam the table and let them go. ”
"Yes." The people of Xunjiatun were filled with indignation: "Let's get up early and work hard to make a living, and the money in our hands is not covered with sweat?" The Xu family does not do business according to their conscience, and they still complain about us, and they insist on putting us to death. We have to meet noble people, God has eyes. ”
The six people on the ox cart saw that the old tun chief had arrived with a few noodle men, and they hurriedly moved their legs to get out of the car. The man stopped the ox cart again.
"Don't..." Lao Tun Changxiao ran forward and grabbed the old master: "It's all suffering, it's good to come back." ”
Li Jiujiu was really lively, staring at so many people with his eyes, without blinking, his little fleshy claws grabbed Xue Bingning's shoulder. Li Shang couldn't help but look at her like that, and raised his hand to twist Shansi's face to his daughter: "Look." ”
Xin Shansi sneered, since she moved to Xunjiatun, this little girl has slept at night. During the day, when there was a slight disturbance outside, she could not stay in the house, and had to go out and see twice.
The Chinese had already spoken to Dr. Feng: "The Xu family did not buy the land, and the official family changed their faces, so they specially sent someone to tell the villain that Lord Hohede had released the people from Xunjiatun." When the villain heard this, he did not dare to drag the ox cart and go to the prison.
When picking up people, the prison supervisor was polite and polite. The villain estimated that in the past two days, the official will definitely come to Yaxing to look for the villain. ”
Two taels of silver and one acre to buy that wasteland in Shengran Mountain? It's not that Fengxiao can't look down on the Xu family, just the Xu family... The ancestor was born as an executioner, and he was not a big family, how much money could he have? Even if one of the people who ransacked the Li family back then had a share of his family, the bulk of the looting proceeds were in the hands of Qi Ningshu and Meng Yuling.
How much money can the Xu family earn from the butcher shops they opened in Chongzhou City? and feed the officials. If they do not feed the officials, it is impossible for them to take all the butcher shops and meat stalls in Chongzhou into the palm of their hands and sell pork for 16 wen a catty.
"I'll also tell you the truth, the land in Shengran Mountain was bought by the Xu family, and in the end, it will still fall into the hands of my family's master, and it won't cost an extra pen."
If he had said this two days ago, he would have had to discount his ears a little, but now he believes it.
Feng Xiao glanced at the people on the ox cart: "I've been working hard for you lately." In this way, as long as the wasteland in Shengran Mountain is not more expensive than one tael of silver per acre, we will still go through your hands. ”
"Done." The Chinese are full of confidence: "The Xu family's toss, the official family should also be sober." If you miss a few of you, who did he sell that piece of land to Sheng Ran Mountain? ”
The young man, who was holding the old master's hand tightly, introduced the people in the car: "The most handsome person is Dr. Li, and standing next to him is his wife." "The little milk baby whose fingers are being held," she called Jiujiu, who has not yet been five months old, and is the daughter of Dr. Li's family. ”
The six gentlemen were grateful, and although they did not look good, they still insisted on getting out of the car to greet them. The young man put the basket on the ox cart, rushed forward and knelt down in front of Li Shang, and was about to kowtow.
