Chapter Ninety-Eight: Eight Teng Ink Ingots
Even Li Guiyao once said that a Taiping prison is enough to serve as half of the rivers and lakes.
One can imagine how terrible their abilities are, and when combined with the operation of the state apparatus, their capabilities are even more appalling.
As a chivalrous man wandering the rivers and lakes, Xu Ping'an is naturally curious about such a discredited organization.
Immediately smiled: "This is a good thing, this nine-faced Buddha has alarmed the Taiping Prison, and now send capable people to Yangzhou to deal with it, I'm afraid the day of the nine-faced Buddha is not far away." ”
Yu Xuansheng frowned and said: "This organization has too much authority and too much ability, and it has almost all the power to kill in the temple, and Your Majesty also trusts the Gusu family too much, so what's the use of asking me as a courtier?"
"Once the power structure is greatly tilted, the balance will eventually fall, and you will either die or be injured!"
He knew Chang'an City and the Taiping Prison very well, after all, he was also an official in Chang'an City back then, and he looked worried about what he said, which is why he volunteered to come to Yangzhou City to do the assassination history.
Xu Ping'an didn't say anything, those things had nothing to do with him, he learned a little bit of his master Li Guiyao when he was a child, that is, he didn't like temples.
Yu Xun opened his mouth to say something, but he still swallowed it, he stayed by Yu Xuansheng's side for nearly twenty years, and most of the things he did were assistants, responsible for the affairs of the rivers and lakes and the staff, and rarely touched on these.
Now the situation is obvious, Yu Xuansheng, as a minister, is worried about the country, and he is also thinking about the direction of the country, how can he interject?
After Yu Xuansheng was worried for a short time, he seemed to notice that there were two people from the rivers and lakes around him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Then he said: "This time Taipingwei came down, which division it is, how many people, and how long it has been, I don't know." ”
"The news from the temple is that His Majesty was furious when he heard about the collusion of officials and bandits in Yangzhou City, and he was so angry that he overturned a few table cases, and the old man seemed to have been blocked by some ministers, and this matter was exposed a few days ago, which made His Majesty angry to the extreme, and he beheaded several ministers on the spot before calming down. ”
"Your Majesty did learn about the person of the Nine-Faced Buddha, and he was very keen to smell the unusual smell, which is not only a matter of Yangzhou City, but also related to some families, Chang'an nobles, and even a person who is taboo in a temple. ”
"Therefore, this batch of Taipingwei is just a prelude, if it is really time to lift the hole cards, I am afraid that the big shots of the four Taipingwei divisions will jump out, and I, Yu Xuansheng, can only play a cooperative role. ”
"This nine-faced Buddha, this time it really set off monstrous waves!"
Yu Xuansheng had a smile on his face, obviously extremely pleased that the end of such a cancer as the nine-faced Buddha was approaching, he deserved to be a good official, as long as Yangzhou City could be peaceful and the people could survive, it would be fine.
Xu Ping'an nodded, this is definitely a good thing, otherwise just by relying on the strength of himself and the Assassin Mansion, he would pull out the Nine-Faced Buddha and I don't know what year and month it will be.
I couldn't help but remind: "Father-in-law, be careful!"
"Although Taipingwei intervened, it can't change the fact that you and I have broken so many people in the nine-faced Buddha, the so-called rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention the nine-faced Buddha is such a master hidden in the shadows!"
"There are too many capable people under him, just one Ji Chang can be seen, you must pay attention to the safety of your own net worth!"
"And Uncle Yu is the same!"
Yu Xuansheng and Yu Xun looked at each other.
Especially Yu Xuansheng, looking at him with some relief, in the end, he was a member of his own family, and he knew that he was worried about himself from the bottom of his heart.
The concern on his face was by no means pretentious, and at that moment, the last trace of mustard and discomfort in Yu Xuansheng's heart also disappeared, and he regarded Xu Ping'an as his own son from beginning to end.
"These old men all know that your Uncle Yu was also a famous person in the rivers and lakes back then, and there were countless knights who made friends from all over the world. ”
Hearing this, Xu Ping'an thought of the demons, and suddenly missed them very much, and couldn't help asking, "Are they okay with the demons?"
"Very good, for the sake of safety, I have placed them in the safest side courtyard of the Thorn Mansion, and the girl of the demon has nothing to do except say that she misses you and Youwei. ”
"And that Chen Sheng, he is really a wizard who practices martial arts, and what is commendable is that he has a pure heart, even the master is full of praise when he sees it, if it weren't for the fact that he has already worshipped you as a teacher, I can't help but accept an apprentice!" Yu Xun's eyes lit up, and he touched his beard and said.
Yu Xuansheng also sighed when he heard this: "That's right, these two children are really Zhong Tiandi Linghui, if it weren't for the fear of messing up the generations, the old man really wanted to be adopted as a righteous son and daughter!"
Xu Ping'an smiled comfortably, he was still quite relieved about these children.
Who knows, Yu Xuansheng was reluctant to change the topic when he talked about the child, and with a straight look, he said a word to Xu Ping'an.
"Son-in-law, when will you and Youwei have a son and a half daughter!
The two "ah" words and the look of hope showed the excitement of the old man wanting to hug his grandson.
"Ahem!" Xu Ping'an was a little embarrassed, coughed a few times, looked at the beauty who was concentrating in the distance, showing off her hands and wearing needles to make clothes, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you still have to ask Youwei about this!"
"Huh! How can a manly husband shirk when he faces things, is it possible that my family Youwei is still a, you don't have six courtesies, the lord doesn't care about you, now this matter is not much room for discussion in my opinion, you take it to heart!"
Yu Xun waved his hand, and he also joined Yu Xuansheng's camp with a smile.
Xu Ping'an smiled awkwardly, and secretly said in his heart, his father-in-law is also quite helpless, listening to Youwei say that since her mother left, this big man in an important official position has not supported his wife and concubine, which is simply appalling, and now he is even more worried about the things that the original women's family should worry about.
After the silence, he changed the subject and asked Yu Xun.
"Uncle Yu, have you found the ink on the note I gave you?"
The corners of Yu Xun's mouth hooked, and he unhurriedly took out an antique ink ingot from his arms, as if he was waiting for Xu Ping'an to ask him.
The ink ingot is black and not slippery, but it is boxy, and there are many insect patterns engraved on it, which are obviously carefully carved.
Xu Ping'an sniffed lightly and felt that the aroma was no different from the one on the paper.
"This is the eight-teng ink ingot specially supplied by Guangling, the output is extremely scarce, and the price is extremely high, it is famous for not being dehydrated, and it has the fragrance of sandalwood, so the price of such a small piece can be as high as forty taels of silver! ”
"I found that there are no more than five people in Yangzhou City who have this kind of ink, and after investigation, only two people who can write this note are logical. ”
