Chapter 166: Injuries
The monk shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect the poor monk to be such an image in the eyes of the donor, I will also give you two thousand-year-old ginseng, and tell you about Bianliang, which can be regarded as a reference for you." At the beginning, Wang Yu and Lin Lingsu competed, in the eyes of outsiders, it was for supernatural powers, but in fact, it was for military power, and Wang Yu's position was the squire of the military department, which could affect the army, so the front division of the palace commanded Gao Yu to also intervene.
After Wang Yu had an accident in the Great Interior, Zheng Tuo was ready to escape, but the masters of the Imperial Boxing Gym were exhausted, and Zheng Tuo was finally captured; why did I decide to escape from Bianliang, that is, after this incident was over, all the people who knew about it were cut off one by one, those with identities were demoted, and those who had no foundation were killed for different reasons, and it is said that Lin Lingsu died inexplicably not long after returning to Wenzhou. ”
Yang Zhi often heard the news of the Central Plains in the Liao Kingdom, but Lin Lingsu actually died, it was the first time he heard it, Yang Zhi frowned when he heard this, and said: "Master, has this matter been confirmed? Lin Lingsu is superb in Xuangong, and he is only fifty years old, how could he suddenly die violently." Wang Laozhi was like this at the beginning, will these people cheat to death?"
The good monk was stunned for a moment, then put away his smile and said: "Lan Daxia is reasonable, it is the poor monk who thinks about the so-called big things all day long, ignores this possibility, and really hasn't sent anyone to check, but according to the news reported by the official mansion." Lan Daxia, if there is a chance, we still have to go to Bianliang to find out these suspicious points, and I will ask someone to prepare the information of all the houses and farms of Zheng Tuo and Wang Yu in the Bianliang area in advance, and we will investigate them one by one when the time comes. ”
The two chatted until one watch, Yang Zhicai went back to sleep, and at noon the next day, Wu Qimai sent someone to send two thousand-year-old ginseng, and in the afternoon, the good monk also sent two ginseng. Yang Zhi also couldn't figure out whether it was a thousand-year-old ginseng, but seeing that each ginseng weighed a pound, he knew that it was definitely a rare thing;
After the matter of Taixuanjing, the monk was relieved of Lan Bin and gave him a waist card of the naturalization camp, and Yang Zhi could come and go at will and wander around Liaoyang City. In the name of buying medicinal materials, Yang Zhi led the horse and left the mansion of the good monk alone, and the monk Huihong was basking in the sun at the base of the wall outside the mansion, and saw Yang Zhi greeting: "Lan Daxia is going out?"
Yang Zhi said with a smile: "I got the ginseng, and I am ready to start refining the medicine, I need to prepare a little medicinal materials, if the master has time, why don't we go together?"
Monk Huihong looked up at the sky and whispered, "Someone from the Liao Kingdom is coming, don't forget our agreement." ”
Monk Huihong's mouth didn't move, and his voice gathered into a line and reached Yang Zhi's ears, Yang Zhi smiled and said loudly: "Since the master is not available, Lan will go by himself." ”
Yang Zhi left flutteringly, Monk Huihong sighed, and continued to bask in his sun; Yang Zhi still followed the route of the last Yubao Four Belts, first went to Beishi to turn around a few medicinal herb shops, bought some tiger bones, deer antler velvet and turned back, and then selected pottery all the way to the market, and naturally walked to Zhao Zhongda's Dongping pottery workshop. There are still a lot of vehicles in front of the pottery workshop today, Yang Zhi did not enter the store, but just stood at the door casually and looked at the samples on the ground.
A guy ran out of the shop and politely ran out and asked, "Officer, what do you need?"
Yang Zhi frowned and said, "The crockpots in your store are too bad. ”
The guy saw that Yang Zhi was a foreigner, but he was by no means an ordinary person, so he smiled and said, "Guest officer, these are all sold at the door."
For some people who are struggling to make a living, if it is really a good thing, we don't dare to put it at the door, in case it is broken, the shopkeeper will not agree to it. If you want to look at it, please come to the store, our Dongping pottery workshop has a history of more than 100 years, and it is famous in Liaoyang. ”
Yang Zhi nodded, and entered the store with his buddy, the area of the pottery workshop is very large, the front is the storefront, and the east half is a layer of shelves, displaying all kinds of samples for customers to choose. Yang Zhi took a look and found that the guy was not lying, and the crockpots on the shelves in the store were much better than the ones outside in terms of shape, color, and texture. On the west side, in addition to the shopkeeper's bar, there is a direct passage to the backyard, and the packaged goods are all moved out of it.
There are a lot of people in the store, some pick up the goods, some place orders, it can be seen that most of them are old customers, there is no noise, both sides are very relieved; Yang Zhi carefully observed the people in and out, and did not find anything abnormal, nor did he see any people watching. Yang Zhi carefully distinguished the voices in the store, and from the names of the guests and men, Yang Zhi saw Zhao Zhongda, a middle-aged man in his forties, very rich, wearing silk clothes, and at first glance, he looked like the shopkeeper's style.
Yang Zhi watched in the east for a little longer, which aroused Zhao Zhongda's interest, seeing that there were fewer guests around him, Zhao Zhongda walked over with a smile, looked at Yang Zhi and asked, "This guest officer is from Zhongyuan, right?"
Yang Zhi also looked at Zhao Zhongda, and always felt that Zhao Zhongda's face was a little gloomy, and pointed to a multi-spout pot he was looking at and said: "Lan is here to buy ginseng, and I want to buy a few good jars to go back to boil medicine, but I just see that the pottery style in your store is very peculiar, and it seems that there are many of them specifically for alchemy, so take a few more glances to see if there is one suitable for you." Shopkeeper, do you sell these samples?"
"Of course it was sold. Zhao Zhongda rarely met someone who knew the goods, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lan, rest assured, things are to be sold to people who know the goods, so that they will not be ruined." ”
Yang Zhi laughed, put down the pottery in his hand, grabbed Zhao Zhongda's hand and said, "The shopkeeper is really good at talking, no wonder your business is so good." ”
Yang Zhi shook it, and then let go of his hand, but Yang Zhi's heart had sunk to the bottom; just now Yang Zhi's fingers took the opportunity to check Zhao Zhongda's pulse, Zhao Zhongda was injured, it was an internal injury from being beaten. If this kind of thing happened in normal business, at least Zhao Zhongda would have to recuperate from his injuries and would not need to come out to receive guests. Now Zhao Zhongda is covering up his injuries just to wait for someone from the Liao Kingdom to come, because since the people of Yanyun Hall know Zhao Zhongda's name, they will never go to the buddy with him.
While chatting with Zhao Zhongda, Yang Zhi chose a clay pot that could be used as a distiller, three small clay pots for boiling medicine, paid the money, asked the guy to tie it up and put it on horseback, and continued to walk along the road he had walked until he reached the Bohai Restaurant. Led the horses to the side of the restaurant and handed them to the man, Yang Zhi went up to the second floor alone, ordered a chicken, two catties of beef, and a drawer of meat buns, and asked for a pot of wine;
