Chapter 20 The County Government and Wang Qian

Seeing that Tang Xiaoyu was a little worried, Shangguan Lingwan comforted her, maybe people are already in Wanjia, but there are many things today, and I can't think of reporting peace to you for a while, Tang Xiaoyu also hopes so, and he can't call to confirm immediately, there is no other way than to wait.

Staying in a ghost place without modern and convenient communication equipment, Tang Xiaoyu couldn't help but complain: What did you want in ancient times, and I didn't know that so many heroines were keen to return to the old society?!

To use the famous words of the great druid - still too full.

If you really want to go to ancient times, buy a plane ticket directly, and live in an African tribe for a year and a half, you will definitely cry and beg to return to industrial civilization.

"Let's get down to business, Xiaoyu, my old friend oversees the imperial history - Wu Xiang, and sent a letter to him, saying that this time he visited Shuitian Town with a father-in-law under Concubine Zhan Shi, named Yu Sixteen. Sun Yi took out a letter and handed it to Tang Xiaoyu, he said with a worried face: "Wu Xiang said in the letter that this father-in-law Yu is probably here by order. ”

Tang Xiaoyu read the letter quickly, supervised the imperial history, and said concisely, only saying that this father-in-law Yu came to spy on an old matter, and this person was cunning and greedy for money, so he should be careful.

She returned the letter to Sun Yizheng, her willow eyebrows furrowed, and after reading the letter, Tang Xiaoyu couldn't say anything in her heart, and she had a feeling that a storm was coming: "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Xiaoyu waited for Shangguan Lingwan to explain, while the other party was peeling the grapefruit, the nails dyed by rouge flowers, the color was shiny and the shape was beautiful, and he was tearing the pink flesh unhurriedly, etc., Tang Xiaoyu stared straight at the fruit pulp for a long time, and then lowered his head and glanced at the grapefruit peel in his hand.

The pomelo peel is yellow and red, and the red heart honey pomelo was discovered in ancient times and then widely planted? She pinched the pomelo peel and asked Shangguan Lingwan: "Why is this pomelo red?" ”

Shangguan Lingwan broke off a petal and tore off the skin, revealing the flesh that was as full as red jade: "Not only the skin, but also the flesh is red, you can taste it." ”

This is a strange pomelo found in Yunan County three years ago, the flesh is red, for a while it was passed on as an anecdote, and then from the Northern Zhou came a Ji Yishi girl, she said that this is a God-given treasure tree, the pomelo is as sweet as honey, this girl bought a few mountains in Yunan, are planting this red pomelo, this year is a tribute into the palace. ”

Tang Xiaoyu took a piece of pulp: "When was it sent to the capital?"

Sun Yizheng answered for his wife, and he also took a piece of grapefruit and peeled it to taste it: "Not yet, we have to wait for another five or six days to pick, this is specially sent by Wu Xiang to us to taste." ”

"I heard that it is as sweet as honey, I don't know how?" Shangguan Lingwan pinched a small piece, covered her mouth with her sleeve, and tasted it first, Tang Xiaoyu waited quietly, watching her cheeks move, and then, her brows furrowed.

"Sour. Shangguan Lingwan covered her mouth and buzzed out a word.

Sun Yizheng also tasted it, his expression was the same as Shangguan Lingwan, Tang Xiaoyu was the last to eat, it was really sour and astringent, and a little bitter.

"It's not worthy of the name, let's not eat it, Huan'er, put on the white jade hibiscus cake, and then soak three cups of sweet tea with jujube nectar. Shangguan Lingwan was happy to try the new thing, but she was so sour that her teeth fell down, she looked displeased, put away the grapefruit, and at the same time hurriedly explained to Tang Xiaoyu: "I'm not playing tricks on you." ”

"I know. Tang Xiaoyu was unhurried, and looked at the abandoned red pomelo, the tribute red pomelo in Yunan County, the road to wealth of Qi Erye, and the golden finger of Ji Yishi, hum, it was really a coincidence.

She pinched the grapefruit peel and sniffed it, and said, "Let's get down to business, why did Yu Sixteen come." ”

Huan'er came in with refreshments, Shangguan Lingwan personally put it on the three of them, and only after everything was safe did she ask rhetorically: "You said with Yizheng before that there is a Jianghu sect of Yunyunlou, and he sent a fine work to sneak into Shuitian Town and was arrested by Wanling, that person's name is Mingjian, isn't it?"

"Yes, Yun Chenlou - Ming Jian, I heard Zhao Shanhe say that this person is very famous in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Then you can't be wrong, Concubine Jiang has a nephew, who once served as a general judge in Shanzhou, and later accepted a beautiful concubine, who suddenly died in less than half a month, and the concubine wanted to look up this old case. Shangguan Lingwan took a sip of sweet tea, slowly raised his eyes and signaled to Sun Yizheng, he willingly took his wife's words and continued: "My brother-in-law inquired that it was Zhan Shiqian's father-in-law next to the concubine who picked the head, and he didn't know what means he used to find out that the beautiful concubine had a lot to do with Yun Yanlou, and he also knew that the woman's real name was Mingyin, and she was Mingjian's cousin. ”

"It's really detailed. "No wonder I can't get Shuitian Town, it turns out that Ming Jian has exposed his whereabouts, if the concubine's people know Xiaobai's life experience, no, Tang Xiaoyu has to suppress this matter.

Concubine Jiang has raised the old emperor for 20 years, and her status in the harem is transcendent, and even King Liang has to be afraid of three points; King Liang embezzled such a big case of alchemy and cultivation of immortals from the treasury, if the prince could have the IQ of a normal person back then, he could completely use the concubine to bring down King Liang, but IQ is a scarce product in this article.

There is also that Mingyin, Tang Xiaoyu only heard Shi Yuan'er mention it in the morning, Baili E intermittently sent beauties into the house, and wanted to invite pets, but it backfired and aroused Princess Liang's disgust, Princess Liang's methods were ruthless, and all the women from Yunjian Lou drank the soup of Juezi.

Mingyin is one of the girls, after being poured a decoction, she was not favored by King Liang, and was transferred to the guest secretary of the palace by the princess, as for how it ended up in the hands of Jiang Tongju, outsiders do not know.

Perhaps, you can try to find Mingyin, Aunt Su Fen should be able to find out, as long as people are not dead, they will leave traces in the world.

But there is one more thing, Tang Xiaoyu can't understand, in the past, one by one, the IQ went offline, and now these NPCs have a tendency to increase the IQ line to the average, and there must be a demon when things go wrong, she may have to call the system out and ask.

"Xiaoyu, why don't you speak. Shangguan Lingwan touched the back of her hand, and looked at Tang Xiaoyu without saying anything, Tang Xiaoyu came back to his senses, frowned lightly, and had no smile on his face.

She said: "Shangguan, I remember you said that Concubine Jiang and Concubine Jiang are cousins? Jiang Guifei is the concubine of Guijin by her mother's son, how old is the sixteenth prince this year?"

Shangguan Lingwan thought for a while, pinched her fingers and counted: "I am thirteen years old this year, and I have been raised by the concubine's side, Your Majesty is also quite attentive to the sixteen princes, twenty princes catch Zhou, and only the prince, the twelve princes, and the sixteenth prince are the three princes who personally watch the ceremony." ”

"The mentor of the sixteen princes is the crown of the scholars of the palace - Lord Taifu Lu Wenzai, in terms of intentions, His Majesty is this to the twelve princes. Sun Yizheng gave a thumbs up, and then said: "This is the case for the sixteenth prince." This time I raised my index finger.

As for the crown prince, needless to say, he can only be the last.

"Do you want to spy on the throne? Tang Xiaoyu said.

"Xiaoyu, how long can the concubine last, is the Jiang family behind the sixteen princes really willing to raise an idle prince?" Shangguan Lingwan looked at the door thoughtfully, and said angrily: "The greed of the human heart and the only heaven and earth can accept. ”

"Since ancient times, those who have pursued fame and fortune, those who are greedy for power and power are like the sand of the Ganges, and the people are like this, how can the emperor's family be exempt from vulgarity. Sun Yizheng stroked his long beard, and sighed together without being shocked, he has the cheerfulness of indifference and ambition, and the calmness of not being afraid of power, he is a man with bones and knots.

Tang Xiaoyu admires Sun Yizheng very much, he is as pure as ever, he is as good as ever, he is committed to heaven and earth, and he is alive for the people, Shangguan Lingwan's vision is still very accurate, how many women are repentant and looking for a marquis, they are all young and do not know the dilemma of the world, Shangguan Lingwan is asking for a husband who is honest and considerate, she got it and cherishes it very much.

"The crown prince is loyal and clumsy, the twelve princes are traitorous, and the sixteenth prince is the youngest and most easily controlled. Tang Xiaoyu broke the advantages and disadvantages of the three of them, she has always had no taboos in front of Sun Yizheng: "What the people want is peace, eat a bite of peaceful tea and rice, the prince is the most suitable candidate, now is not a good time to borrow a knife to kill people, I will arrange the sword and not let Yu Sixteen find it." ”

"Why don't you borrow the hand of the concubine except for that King Liang. Sun Yizheng looked at Tang Xiaoyu puzzled, and Shangguan Lingwan on the side explained for her: "There is no strategist around the prince who can win a thousand miles, and I don't know if this knife will cut himself when he hands it out, so it is better to keep clumsy, as long as the saint can't find fault with the prince, he can't say anything about it." ”

"How long can the old emperor live? As long as the crown prince holds the power of the forbidden army, that position will be his, and then we can send King Liang to be buried in pairs. Tang Xiaoyuyun said lightly and lightly about the most taboo thing in the world.

After hearing this, Shangguan Lingwan smiled, picked up the teacup, and replaced the wine with tea: "I like to hear you say such deviant and serious words the most, admire." ”

Tang Xiaoyu clinked glasses with her, and the tea was in her mouth, so Huan'er hurriedly ran over, and the maid said: "My lord, madam, the hall master, the yacha in front came to report, saying that the Cao Gang escorted the hall master to accept the guilt." ”

"Hey, it's finally here. Tang Xiaoyu looked at the two of them, stood up and said, "I was just about to say goodbye, but Yi Lan didn't know if she had found Xiaobai." ”

At this time, the longed-for Baili Jihai woke up from a coma, he fixed his eyes, what came into his eyes was a gray coarse woven cloth, he blinked, his vision gradually cleared, he pressed the kind of coarse cloth mattress commonly used by ordinary people.

Where am I?

He was obviously chased by the people of the Qi family, and fainted when he climbed over the wall into the deserted house, who took him away! Baili Jihai propped himself up, and the wound on his back was faintly painful, he gritted his teeth and endured it, his eyes cautiously swept around, the house was lit with candles, the tables and chairs were clean, and the bed he was lying on was also, he was very familiar with Shuitian Town, and the small courtyard where he fainted had been idle for many years and no one had entered or exited, and he was taken away.

Realizing that there might be danger, Baili Jihai reluctantly got up from the bed, he was a little worried, he didn't know where he was taken, and who was taking him?

She doesn't like not saying hello and must be angry now.

He wanted to go out and have a look, maybe he would meet the brothers of the Lutheran Church or the main church, Baili Jihai stood up, his shirt was cut so that he could not wear it, and there was no clothing in the house, so he scooped up the sheet and simply tied a few knots, and put it on his body like a sack.

The lights were lit in the house, and the window paper was dim, thinking that it was dark, and as long as I didn't walk the street, I shouldn't be watched.

Baili Jihai was ready, so he went to open the door, the door was not locked, but before he stepped out of the threshold, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman appeared in the corner with a bowl of somen noodles, and when the man saw him, he immediately whispered nervously: "Childe, childe, why are you up." ”

"Oh, you're injured, and the doctor said you can't move. The man ran to the door in three steps and two steps, Baili Jihai looked at the other party carefully and vigilantly, the man was about forty years old, medium height, but his steps were light, his body was steady, he was a person who practiced martial arts, he squinted his eyes and quietly stepped out of the threshold.

Outside, it was the same as Baili Jihai thought, it was a single-courtyard house, and there was no sound around him, and he couldn't immediately judge where he was when it was dark at night.

Baili Jihai made a sign language, and the other party showed a surprised expression, and then smiled: "I don't understand this, Childe can't speak, I have a pen and paper in the house, please come with me." Then the man turned and went into the house.

"Childe, don't worry, the contemptible Wang Qian, is a tea seller, today I saw Childe on the street to chase and kill, the other party is overwhelming, I am weak, so after the arrest is gone, I will bring Childe to the small courtyard where he lives temporarily. The businessman named Wang Qian looked upright, and while setting up the plain noodles, he was looking for paper and pen in the baggage.

Looking at the person in the room, Baili Jihai hesitated for a moment, he was sure that with his current injury, he could barely win against Wang Qian, but he was afraid that there would be an ambush nearby. It's not that he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, there are three doctors in Shuitian Town, each doctor knows the brothers of Xinyi Tang, and naturally he also knows who the little aunt is, Wang Qian is a foreigner, please ask the doctor to come to see a doctor, and after seeing himself, the doctor will definitely inform Xinyi Tang or the person who holds the main hall, which is the unwritten rule of the Cao Gang in Shuitian Town.

For such a long time from noon to dark, without the Cao Gang or people from the Wan family, Wang Qian must have lied, but now Baili Jihai had no choice, he sank his breath and walked back to the house.
