Chapter 29: The Prince

The thousand-year-old temple is quiet and quiet, and the Qingjiang River hugs the mountain flow.

Linquan Temple is built on the halfway of Jiulian Mountain, you can feel the majesty of the ancient temple from a distance, the mountain gate under the shade of the old tree seems to hide countless Buddhist mysteries, and occasionally a few bells are particularly refreshing.

At the foot of the hill is a small town, half of it is built on the mountain, half of it is built on flat land, the dangerous wall is so high that outsiders can't see a trace of the scene inside, only to see the traffic in front of the gate of the town, a road wider than the usual official road leads to the avenue outside.

"A small town with such a high wall looks bigger than the city of southern Thailand. Zhang San was surprised.

"Of course, this Baosheng Town is Lin Baosheng's private property, not the imperial court, Lin Baosheng is the soil emperor, and at least half of the monks in Southern Shaolin listen to him. Lu Wan said.

The two of them reined in their horses and collected their whips, not far from the bottom of the mountain, watching the carriages and horses coming and going, the medicine garden of Baosheng Hall was in this Baosheng Town, which was the destination of the two of them.

Lu Yinxingwen is useless here, you need a special waist card from Baosheng Hall to enter this Baosheng Town, and those who have waist cards are medicinal herb merchants from all over the world and Baosheng Tang's own people, Lu Wan didn't enter the door last time, so this time there was still no way, and looked at Zhang San.

Zhang San turned several plans in his head, all of which were a little flawed, one was to climb over the wall at night, this was difficult for him, but the situation inside was unknown, there was a certain danger, Lin Baosheng's family had a big business, and Southern Shaolin also had many masters, so it was not good to run out of a group of monks, this monk was not comparable to the monks of Pudu Temple, he didn't want to be alarmed.

The second way is to steal the waist card, but it is useless to steal the waist card, there must be medicine, the people who come and go at the door are basically big carriages, and there are double wheels, all of them are medicinal materials, and there is no bare hands at all.

Stealing people's waist cards and robbing people's carriages, that is a bandit, Zhang San has this ability, and the door rules do not allow him to do this.

After riding his horse far around the city wall, Zhang San said, "Let's go back to the big car shop and find another good plan." ”

There is a big car shop 100 miles away from Baosheng Town, and there are many travelers, many of whom are medicinal herb merchants who come and go to Baosheng Town.

The big car shop is not better than the restaurant inn in the city, it is specially prepared for the merchants who bring goods, which is equivalent to the folk post station, which is usually relatively simple, but this looks good, the blue brick courtyard wall is neat and tidy, people walk the roadway, the car takes the lane, it is cleaned cleanly, and there is not even a little horse manure.

The inside of the courtyard wall is whitewashed with white paint, leaving a lot of tourists' graffiti inscriptions, most of them are to express the feelings of detention and travel, written vertically, painted horizontally, the brushwork is different, the elegance and vulgarity are appreciated, which is also a major feature of the big car shop.

After Xiao Er led the horses of the two, Lu Wan was attracted by a pair of words, the words were strong and powerful, outstanding among the many inkblots, handsome and refreshing, written a poem, Lu Wan read it gently, "The willows and the east wind tree, the green and green Jiulian River, how hard the journey is, the wanderer plays a song." ”

Zhang San didn't feel anything good about this thing, the good white courtyard wall was painted in a mess, and a pair of thief eyes only looked at the people coming and going in the yard, looking for a suitable target.

This search, I found a pair of black eyes, with innocent black and white in the pupils, but calm as water.

It is a little girl with a low head, her body is not enough, her face is as charming as the moon, the goose-yellow cloud smoke shirt is matched with a double butterfly cloud-shaped Qianshui skirt, the skirt hairpin is small, and the feathers are light, which is the beauty of cardamom tips in early February.

A very familiar feeling, Zhang San has a kind of joy of meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country.

The little girl was Zhuge Mingyue, and she also had an incredible feeling when she saw Zhang San, and after the surprise, she whispered "Third brother!"

There are two people who appeared at the same time as Zhuge Mingyue, a man and a woman, and the woman is also familiar, it is the tall woman I met in the Lu Mansion before, the man has a long body, the jade tree is in the wind, the sword eyebrows are starry, Zhang San looks at the silhouette and knows that it is a good skin.

The tall woman looked at Zhang San with interest, while the man was talking to Lu Wan on the other side of the courtyard wall.

"Impromptu pen, it is difficult to enter the eyes of the master, so that the young lady laughs. The man's smile was also handsome, making people feel like a spring breeze, Zhang Sanyi instantly remembered Wang Yangming, I don't know what this chief inheritance disciple of Xinli Sect is doing at this time, with his kung fu that can control the dragon, he must not be mediocre.

At this time, Wang Yangming, who was far away in Luling as a magistrate, sneezed a long time, ruined an official document he had just written, and said to himself with a smile: "Who will miss me!"

Lu Wan turned around when she heard the words, and couldn't help but jump in her heart, such a handsome son, no wonder he wrote such a good hand, often saying that words are like his people, and it seems that what he said is true.

didn't wait for his face to blush, and took a deep breath before he said: "Childe's pen is not bad, and the sentences are also elegant, Lu Wan admires it." ”

This is equivalent to signing up for the surname, the name of the deep boudoir woman has always been rarely shown, although the children of the rivers and lakes can be informal, but this undoubtedly also has the meaning of goodwill, the man said: "My name is Huang Congzhi, do some small business of herbal medicine, these poems are made by predecessors, slightly changed, but fell inferior, do not dare to be greedy." ”

Lu Wan read poetry and books, and knew that this was a sentence of her predecessors, and when she saw that the man was honest, she added a little more favorability, and just about to speak, she saw Zhang San and the tall woman over there.

"Let me introduce, these are my two cousin sisters, who came out with me to see the world, the eldest sister Xu Jianglou and the younger sister Zhu Mingyue. After the man introduced him, he found that several people had wrong faces.

"This Xu Jianglou is your sister, are you in the herbal medicine business?" Lu Wan sneered.

Xu Jianglou held back a smile and whispered a few words in Huang Congzhi's ear.

Huang Congzhi suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Dai..." said half a sentence and knew that it was inappropriate, and then changed his words and said, "Please come to the house and let me explain to Miss." ”

"Okay, I'd like to know why you stole from me. Lu Wan looked at Xu Jianglou with hostility in her eyes.

The three of them were originally about to go out, but when they saw Lu Wan and Zhang San, they turned back again.

There are several zhang long chase shops in the store, and there are also exquisite private rooms, and Huang Congzhi and a few people live in private rooms, which are complete with guest rooms and bedrooms.

After entering, Xu Jianglou closed the doors and windows, and after carefully inspecting them, several people sat down.

"I don't know why Miss Dai came to Putian?" Huang Congzhi asked first, his tone was deep, not as relaxed as he had just been in the courtyard.

"Let's talk about why you stole my stuff first?" Lu Wan replied.

Zhang San sat next to Mingyue, Xiao Mingyue blinked her eyes, but she didn't say a word except to greet Zhang San, with an expression of watching a play.

Huang Congzhi glanced at Xu Jianglou, Xu Jianglou got up and walked to the door, for some reason, he pushed the door and went out, but then Huang Congzhi's words surprised Zhang Sansan.

"My real name is Zhu Congzhi, and Zhu Huan, the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is my father. "Huang Congdao.

This Huang Congzhi is actually the son of the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the kings everywhere are the descendants of the Taiwu Emperor, although he doesn't care about the local military and politics, but he has the right to be high, and he has countless fields under his hands, and he also raises a private army, which is equivalent to being a prince, and any Jianghu sect can't compare.

Zhang San and Lu Wan both looked stunned when they heard this.

Huang Congzhi continued: "I heard from my father that Lin Baosheng was colluded with the Fusang bandits and the anti-thief Chen family, so I have been paying attention. ”

"Let Jiang Lou go to Miss to steal the necklace, I also heard that Lin Baosheng is very concerned about the necklace around Miss's neck, and has sent several groups of people to steal it, I wonder if Miss has something that can balance him, but I didn't expect to be ugly. ”

Lu Wan's expression was a little gloomy, and she said: "It's just a Dan prescription left by my father, where can I balance Lin Da's shopkeeper." ”

Dai Sigong was killed by Lin Baosheng after he failed to treat the children and grandchildren of the royal family, and he was only killed by Lin Baosheng when he returned to his hometown.

Zhu Congzhi has always been smart and clever, and he knew where Lu Wanyu was when he looked at his words and looks, and said: "Mr. Dai is a famous doctor in the country, with a good reputation in the world, even the holy grandfather is also admired, at the beginning my uncle was cut off, and the gods were unable to return to the sky, this matter has long been demonstrated, it is not about Mr. Ir, it is Mr. who blames himself too much, and later heard that Mr. Immortal is gone, and the holy grandfather is very sorry, and he wants to correct Mr. Dai's name, but then he put it on hold for some reason. ”

"Did the emperor really say that he wanted to correct my father's name?" Lu Wan said in surprise, it was the only time in her father's life that he missed his hand, although he was now dead and knew that everything was empty, but he had always regretted it when he was alive, if the emperor could correct his name for this, even if it was an edict burned in front of the grave, his father would definitely be able to smile at Jiuquan.

Zhu Congzhi replied: "Of course, now I can talk about the purpose of the young lady's visit to Putian, right?"

Just now, Zhu Congzhi has been praising her father, which makes Lu Wan very useful, seeing that Zhu Congzhi is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and he does not hide it, so he told him about stealing the lotus grass.

"Haha, they're all here to be thieves, and Miss and I coincide. Zhu Congzhi took out a folding fan and shook it gently, with an elegant bearing, and his expression became calm.

is accustomed to seeing the weak Liu Qianjin, he is also a little heartbroken about Lu Wan's both civil and military, beauty and chivalry, knowing that Lu Wan has something to ask for, he has the opportunity to get close.

"Jiang Lou, come in. Zhu Congzhi called softly outside the door, and Xu Jianglou walked in, because her two legs were too slender, and she walked differently from others, especially rhythmic, Zhang San couldn't help but think that if this was for the fine monk of Pudu Temple, it would be enough to gnaw half a night.

She is Zhu Congzhi's close maid, I don't know if she has been close to the water by this prince, Zhang San couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy, and then looked at Lu Wan and Zhu Congzhi's eyebrows, and the high mood all the way suddenly dropped a little.

"With this little boy making a move, presumably Miss Lu's purpose for this trip is to get her hands dirty!" Xu Jianglou said with a smile, she also heard a few people talking outside the door.

"I didn't ask for advice, who is this?" Zhu Congzhi's mouth was directed at Zhang San, but his eyes were consulting Lu Wan, before he had always thought that Zhang San was an attendant sent by the Lu Mansion, and he didn't speak after nodding and smiling, at this time, after listening to Xu Jianglou's words, he knew that Zhang San should also have some identity.

Lu Wan didn't speak, Xu Jianglou said first: "Childe, this is the person who grabbed the necklace with Jiang Lou, and Yan Zhenggang, the black palm hired by Baosheng Hall, died under his flying knife." ”

"It turned out to be a young knight, Zhu was disrespectful!" Zhu Congzhi stood up, Zhang San also got up and returned the salute, it is unwise to pretend to be a big head with the prince, Wu Liang told him, as a thief, breaking the law cannot be avoided, but it is best not to make enemies head-on with official figures.
