Chapter 12 Yanluo Mine
"Ahh
Luo Fatzi screamed miserably, and fell to the ground in fright, trembling all over. Seeing that he was so unbearable, Wang Li didn't have the heart to continue to scare him, and said, "Let me ask you, what is the identity of the great medicine man?"
Yao Yanxue on the side heard that Wen Luo Fat Man said that the second son of the Xu family was plotting to kidnap them together, and his jade face was frosty, and he said angrily: "It's this Xu family again, hmph! Why are they all deceitful juniors! If you say that Qingyu Pavilion and my big Yao don't dare to be angry easily, how can he be so arrogant and domineering as a little Yulutang pharmacist!"
Wang said bizarrely: "Su Bai, did this Xu family have a festival with you before?"
Yao Weixue said: "It is Xu Sheng, the eldest son of the Xu family, who humiliated me at the poetry meeting today!"
The more Yao Weixue thought about it, the more angry she became, she was bullied today, how could she have suffered like this!
Wang Li said: "It's really not a family, don't enter the door! This Xu Sheng may not be a good person." Fatty, what is the position of this great pharmacist?
Seeing that Wang Li had no murderous intentions, Luo Fatzi put up his face and said with a smile: "Childe, this great pharmacist is the second housekeeper of Yulu Hall in Yucheng, in charge of the collection and distribution of medicinal materials, pharmacopoeia sorting and purchasing materials in the hall. ”
Hearing this, Wang Li sighed: "It's all fat and poor, I'm afraid that this Xu family is so rich that it will flow oil!"
Luo Fat Man lay on the ground, wiped the coarse sweat on his head, shook his head and said, "Although it is fat, the old man ...... Don't dare to be too presumptuous, after all, there is also Chengtang medicine head Xu Hongyuan Xu Master pressing, unlike other masters, old ...... The old man was born as a medicine boy, and he has no qualifications to study medicine, so he can only see some superficial diseases, and he has no great ability. ”
Yao Weixue listened disdainfully and said: "Why don't you dare, it's just a change of means! Who doesn't know the twists and turns in this? It's just that the medicinal materials of Yulu Hall are shipped out privately, for fear of being discovered, these cabinet officials have the pavilion inheritance of Qingyu Pavilion, and then pretend to set up a few shops that buy and sell medicinal materials to show their innocence." Not only the high-quality medicinal materials, but even the ordinary medicinal materials are also controlled in their hands, and when the people go to the hall to get the medicine, they say that there is no medicine to take, so they have to go bankrupt and ask for it from their own medicine store at a high price.
Luo Fatzi didn't know what to say, listening to Yao Wanxue speak openly and transparently, before listening to this "son" said that the former "little big pharmacist", the latter "little Yulutang", the heart said that this is probably a noble son of the state capital, if it is from the capital, how can he Luo Fatzi have a good end? So he kowtowed to Yao Yanxue inexplicably, and said straightly: "Childe spare his life, villain should die, Childe spare his life......
Wang Li heard that Luo Fatzi called that Xu Lin the master, and then Yao Wanxue explained the Tao here, thinking about Kong Chengfu and Kong Chengshi going to buy medicinal materials, so he was a little clear, and asked: "So, you are doing things for that Xu Lin? But I don't think what you sell in Baoqifang is a medicinal herb." ”
Luo Fatzi stopped his head and cried in a tone: "This son doesn't know, Master Xu does have a pharmacy, but I am not in charge, I am here to transfer smoke and Luo Yu for the master as a cover." In recent years, the lord has also called the medicine boy to collect tobacco and Luo Yu, saying that jade powder can cure all diseases......"
Wang Li raised his forehead and said: "Yes, as long as you dare to think and be greedy, there are many excuses." ”
Yao Yanxue listened and said curiously: "Yan Luoyu can cure diseases?"
Wang Li couldn't laugh or cry: "Of course not, it's already an exaggeration to say that jade powder can cure diseases, and how can it be possible to cure all diseases?
Since Wang Li came into the city, he always heard someone say that Yan Luo Yu, Kong Chengfu said that the best Yan Luo Yu couldn't catch up with his water cup, so Wang Li looked down on Yan Luo Yu, but then he thought about it carefully, not only the purity, but also some other standards.
"You don't even know Yan Luo Yu?" Yao Weixue looked at Wang Li incredulously, "Aren't you from Yucheng?
Wang Li said: "I am not from Yucheng, and it is the first time I have come to Yucheng. ”
"This Forgotten Water Pavilion will be related to Yan Luoyu. There is a record in the suicide note of the previous dynasty "Daqiong Fenglu", saying, "In ancient times, there were Wei Sheng, who were pregnant with smoke and hairpins and women under the beams, and the women did not come, and the water did not go, and they died holding the beams." This Forgotten Water Pavilion will be a festival for people to commemorate this story. What the old man said before was all nonsense!"
That passage is the most widely circulated legend in "Da Qiong Fenglu", saying that in ancient times, there was a man named Wei Sheng who fell in love with a woman, and the woman's parents disliked Wei Sheng for being poor and did not agree with the woman marrying him. So Wei Sheng spent all his savings to buy a cigarette hairpin, and agreed to meet and elope at the bridge with his lover, but the woman's parents learned of this and locked her at home. Wei Sheng waited for the woman for a long time, the backwater swelled, and Wei Sheng hugged the pillar and died.
After Yao Weixue finished speaking, she looked at Wang Li curiously, and said in her heart: "He is not from Yucheng, then why was he kidnapped as soon as he came to Yucheng?"
Before I heard the old storyteller talk about piracy, there are versions of conflicts in all eras! Wang Li couldn't cry or laugh.
With some emotion, Wang Li waved the knife in his hand and said to Luo Fatzi: "I spare your life, you take us back to find that second son of Xu Kuangxu, I don't care who he is!
As he spoke, he turned around and took a rope from the carriage and wanted to tie him up, but he heard Yao Yanxue scream, and when he looked back, the fat man Na Luo spread his legs and wanted to run, Wang Li scolded secretly, took a knife in one hand and a rope in the other, and chased him.
Luo Fatzi was short and fat, and he couldn't outrun Wang Li, Wang Li caught up with Luo Fatzi in a few big steps, scolded him and tied his hands to him, escorted him back to the carriage with a knife, and tied him to the balance board in front of the carriage.
"If you want to run, I'll chop your feet if you run again!" Wang Li frightened.
Luo Fatzi wants to cry without tears, he is the servant of the Xu family outside, but he is not as high as a domestic servant, but the essence is the same. He could curse Xu Guo behind his back, but he didn't dare to go against the Xu family on the stage.
This old man of the Xu family especially loves the second son, so Xu can be so debauched, if Luo Fatzi goes back with Wang Li and helps Wang Li get back the treasures, let alone staying in the Xu family's shop, whether he can live or not is a question, who knows if this Xu Second Master will find someone to chop him up and throw him into the mine.
Wang Li said to Yao Weixue: "Su Bai, I have to go back and get my things back first, that thing is very important to me, can you come with me first?
Yao Weixue said indifferently: "This is a trivial matter, since the matter has come to this point, let's wait for you to solve it before leaving." It's just that Su Bai has a request, and he hopes that Wang Li's brother can agree. ”
Yao Weixue rubbed her hands, her bright eyes flashing with excitement.
Luo Fatzi was tied to the carriage, but his ears and eyes were clear, and he felt that something was wrong when he heard Yao Weixue's voice.
The son who was kidnapped by mistake turned out to be a woman, but the peasant boy didn't know each other, it seems that although the two are not deep friends, but they haven't just met, why is the peasant boy so clumsy, men and women don't know each other?
But he didn't know that the king had deviated from the customs of his previous life, and his knowledge of men and women was indeed very vague, there were strong women, and there were also delicate men, and the truth and falsehood had long been reversed.
Besides, he has not experienced the love between men and women, and he has never really experienced the warmth and coldness of human affection alone, that is, he Luo Fat Man saw that Bao had evil intentions and kidnapped him, which was also the first time in his life that he suffered a loss, and in this life he did not understand that people have a big difference in the identities of men and women, how could he know that this Su Bai was actually a daughter?
Wang Li said curiously: "I don't know what Su Bai wants, but it doesn't matter, you have suffered this crime because of me, I am indebted, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." ”
Yao Yanxue saw what Wang Li said, her heart was interesting, and she said crisply: "It's not difficult, it's not that we are in the Yanluo Mine, so I want to stop by to take a look at the mine, I want to see what a mine like can breed such beautiful jade as Yanluo Yu." ”
Yao Wanxue has been living in the palace, although there is no shortage of smoke Luo Yu, even the best Yan Luo Yu has also seen, but when Emperor Yao came of age, granted amnesty to the world, and drove the south of the road, he yearned for the outside world out of curiosity, and sneaked out of Qiao Zhuang dressed up with Qing'er in the palace of Qingzhou Yiyang, and Yao Yanxue, who especially loved Yan Luo Yu, went to Yucheng first.
As early as in the capital, I heard the people in the palace say that Qingzhou is very rich, and the scenery is incomparable to the northern city, and it is still civil, there are mountains and rivers, and the culture is fresh.
The Dayao water system is developed, mostly in the south, there are two first-class trunks of the river, one Qiongjiang River traverses the Dayao, and the other crosses the river through the junction of Qingchu, just through Qingzhou and joins the East China Sea, and the backwater is the branch of the Yuejiang River. As for the flying immortal stream, it is from east to north, rushing to the western frontier of Da Yao, so although there are green mountains in the north of Da Yao, it is equipped with bad water.
She can't get used to listening to the funny stories of those drunken and sleeping in Hongxuan and drinking prostitutes in the capital, Yao Weixue, who has loved poetry since she was a child, only yearns for the clear mountains and rivers, the seclusion of a boat, and admires the elegant plot of throwing wine and high-rise buildings, admiring the elegant plot of watching the stars and playing with the moon, or the ethereal love in the forbidden books in the deep palace.
Now he is in this Yanluo mine, and I don't know when he was discovered by the palace army accompanying him to the south, if he didn't take a look, Yao Yanxue knew that he would regret it.
Wang Li hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay, I also have a long horizon." But we can't go deeper, first, if we get lost in this wilderness, there will be no one to rescue us, and second, if we go back too late, I am afraid that the thief will be wary and will not be able to take advantage of his unpreparedness. ”
"Of course, we'll just look at the nearest mine. ”
Luo Fatzi flattered: "If the two sons want to go to the mine, just ask me, Master Xu asked me to resell the smoke Luo Yu, I know all the large and small mines in the south of the city, and there are many mines nearby!"
Wang Li saw the low mountain not far away from the night, and sneered: "Reselling tobacco Luo Yu? You are selling Xibei goods, I think about you and those who pretend to sell medicinal materials, it is a fake sale, who knows where the real goods are sold." Tell me, what are the nearest mines?"
Luo Fatzi seemed to have been pinched by the neck, laughed dryly, and said: "This Yanluo Jade Mine, the most bid is the East Mine, we are now in the east of the mine, if you say the nearest one, of course, it belongs to the East Mine." There are also a number of associated mines in this eastern mine, all of which are small mounds distributed in a north-south direction in a linear pattern, so we only need to walk a few miles north to get there. ”
"You know a lot about that. ”
When Wang Li heard this, he looked to the north and vaguely saw a big mountain, and he was not afraid of any scheming of this fat man, so he said to Yao Weixue: "In this way, let's go north first." ”
