Part 3 Jiangnan Wind and Rain Chapter 44 Bribing the Lieutenant with a Heavy Amount of Money and a Small Hitomi
Let's say that Tian Xiaotong discussed the plan and spent a night dressing up his senior sister Ling Xuanshuang. It's just because Ling Xuanshuang usually dresses with tight sleeves, and doesn't wear wide-sleeved clothes, and what's worse is that he doesn't have the delicate feeling of willow Fufeng when he walks.
Tian Xiaotong felt helpless, and even took out the pink full-breasted skirt at the bottom of the box. After training Ling Xuanshuang overnight, she finally got a little feminine.
"Senior sister, do you think it's okay? Why don't we go back tomorrow? Tian Xiaotong didn't sleep all night, sitting on the stool tiredly, lying on the table, worried that Ling Xuanshuang would be the same.
Ling Xuanshuang sat down, full of energy, and joked with a smile: "I don't sleep for a night or two, it's just an idle matter." It's you, who don't look good. Is it that it is too late to toss at night these years, and the body collapses. I've heard that there are only tired oxen, but there are no rotten fields. ”
"Ahh ”
Mu Xiaoxue and Rui Hansheng came in when they heard the sound, and looked at Tian Xiaotong and Ling Xuanshuang blankly, thinking that something had happened.
Tian Xiaotong said: "Wait for me and Senior Sister Ling to go out, and you will stay in the inn and wait for orders." You go out and call Niu Shao, and we'll go." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it. Mu Xiaoxue and Rui Hansheng exited the room at the same time.
After a while, Niu Shao came.
Tian Xiaotong asked, "Did Shen Zaixing and Qin Xuanjie follow the plan to find out the situation of the troops on the island?" ”
Niu Shao replied: "They have already pretended to be porters or people's husbands and went out early in the morning, and they should be carrying out the eldest lady's plan at this time." ”
Tian Xiaotong said: "Very good, after lunch later." You lead the way, and we'll go meet Li Kecun. After speaking, let Niu Shao go out.
There was still some time until noon, so Tian Xiaotong hurried to sleep. Just now, he was able to do it in front of his senior sister, but he was already sleepy.
Noon soon came, and Tian Xiaotong asked Ji Mengwan to pretend to be a maid, hold a small box of gold, silver and jewelry, and go out with her. Ling Xuanshuang put on a hat and covered her face with a white veil. Niu Shao led the way, and the group went to Li Kecun's mansion.
Li Kecun's home is in the alley near the barracks, the alley is narrow and deep, and if Niu Shao hadn't explored it in advance, it would have been difficult to find.
Li Kecun was very surprised by the sudden visit of Tian Xiaotong and his party. It was very polite to let them into the house, and let the mother-in-law at home make hot water to make tea and entertain them.
"The girl suddenly visited the humble house, I don't know what happened?" Li Kecun asked politely with a suspicious face.
Tian Xiaotong said straight to the point: "I heard that the owner of the island likes beauties, and there happens to be a singer in my house, I don't know if I can ask an adult to help and give it to the owner." ”
Li Kecun was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked up at the woman wearing a hat and covering her face with a white veil behind Tian Xiaotong. Through the tulle, you can clearly see the woman's watery eyes, and there is an indescribable feeling burning in your heart.
"Girl, there is something I have to say. Li Kecun got up and went out to look around, and saw that there was no suspicious person at the door except for Niu Shao. Returning to his seat and sitting down, he continued: "The owner of the island is greedy for beauty, likes the new and hates the old, there are dozens of ladies alone, why should the girl send your singer to that unsightly place. ”
Li Kecun already had a good impression of Tian Xiaotong, and with the previous gold and silver bribes, he had different emotions towards Ling Xuanshuang. The things that shouldn't have been said were said.
Tian Xiaotong was keenly aware of this, turned his head to look at Ling Xuanshuang, and then said with a smile: "If I can get the island owner to help my family a lot in the future, I believe she will be very happy." ”
Ling Xuanshuang's eyes did not change in the slightest, and he said coldly: "The matter of the eldest lady, I will never give up." ”
Tian Xiaotong asked Ji Mengwan to take out the box of jewels and put it beside Li Kecun.
"Please also ask the captain to be more complete and accept the little heart. Tian Xiaotong got up and arched his hand.
Li Kecun saw that Tian Xiaotong had made up his mind, and agreed: "Okay, I'll go to see the head of the Chen Palace later, and recommend the girl behind you to him." As he spoke, he asked his mother-in-law to come out and take away the jewelry.
Seeing that the first goal had been achieved, Tian Xiaotong pretended to be casual and asked, "The little woman found that the guards on duty on this island in the morning and at night seem to be different. Why is that?"
"Oh, you mean change the guard!" Li Kecun took people's money, so he naturally wanted to show it, "I don't know why, the two assistants suddenly announced a few days ago that the defense from the afternoon to the early morning of the next day would be entrusted to their own henchmen. ”
Tian Xiaotong said in his heart: "Could it be that our actions were discovered by them." Probably not, it's been a secret. Thinking like this, I couldn't help but be vigilant. He got up and said, "Please help me a lot, and we will go back and wait for your good news." ”
"Well, just relax and wait for good news at the inn. Li Kecun got up to see off the guests.
Not long after Tian Xiaotong and the others returned to the inn, Li Kecun led the person who claimed to be the head of the Chen Palace to the inn where they lived.
Everyone met with the chief manager in Tian Xiaotong's room.
When Ji Mengwan saw that it was an old acquaintance, she hurriedly hid with her father. Because this manager is his father's old department, he also hugged Ji Mengwan, who was young at the time.
"I am Lu Yi, the head of the Chen Palace, and I heard that there is a singer in the girl's mansion dedicated to our island master. Lu Yi looked at Tian Xiaotong proudly.
Tian Xiaotong asked Ling Xuanshuang to meet Lu Yi with her, and introduced: "She is the person I want to dedicate to the island owner, her name is Ling Xuanshuang." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ling Xuanshuang took off the hat on his head and revealed his face. Lu Yi was slightly stunned, the beauties he thought he had seen were still full of shock when he saw Ling Xuanshuang.
"Well, the girl's vision is really good. Lu Yi praised endlessly, "I was surprised to see that the master had a good appearance." I didn't expect to see Miss Ling, which was even more amazing. ”
Tian Xiaotong said with a smile: "Then please ask the manager to take it back, check it carefully, and give it to the island owner." As he spoke, Mu Xiaoxue took out another box of jewelry.
"Wait!" Lu Yi's face suddenly changed, and she actually refused to accept the bribe, and said with a stiff face: "Although the girl you sent is indeed beautiful and moving, but now in extraordinary times, there is an order to prevent us from accepting any more women who offer to the island owner." ”
Tian Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, and said, "The manager came in person, the purpose is to tell us this?"
"That's right...... I have known Li Duwei for a long time, and I can't help but give him face. A sly smile flashed across Lu Yi's face.
Glancing at the calm Li Kecun, Tian Xiaotong seemed to understand, and said a few words in Mu Xiaoxue's ear.
When Mu Xiaoxue heard this, she hurriedly ran out and didn't come back for a long time.
"The girl just asked your subordinates to go out and do something, and they haven't come back yet. Lu Yi asked, without the slightest intention of leaving.
Tian Xiaotong showed a mysterious smile and said, "Please wait a little longer, Manager Lu, I will let my subordinates go down to the boat to get something and come back soon." ”
"Oh?" Lu Yi suddenly became interested, "I hope the girl's things don't disappoint me." ”
After waiting for a while, Mu Xiaoxue came in with a box smaller than the one she was going to give to Lu Yi just now.
Lu Yi and Li Kecun's eyes were immediately attracted by the box in Mu Xiaoxue's hand.
Tian Xiaotong opened it in front of them, and the moment it was opened, the light shone on the entire room. Lu Yi and Li Kecun were dazzled by the strong light, hurriedly covered their eyes with their hands, and then opened them to see that there was only a huge night pearl in the box.
As if seeing a rare and exotic beast, Lu Yi pounced on it, took out the Night Pearl and looked at it carefully, and said excitedly: "I heard that the Emperor of the Central Plains has a Night Pearl that was paid tribute by the Siamese Kingdom, which was later stolen and its whereabouts are still unknown. Could it be ...... This is the one. ”
Tian Xiaotong said with a smile: "The manager's vision is really not bad, this is indeed the pearl of the night." It was my father who bought it from a thief, and when he saw that I was going on an ocean for the first time, he gave it to me. ”
Lu Yi only listened to half of it, staring at the Night Pearl, and her eyes did not take half a step away from the Night Pearl. Compared to seeing Ling Xuanshuang's appearance, it seemed that the Night Pearl could arouse his interest more.
After a while, Lu Yi came back to her senses, looked at Tian Xiaotong with longing eyes, and said, "Miss Ling, come with me, I will definitely recommend her to the island owner." As long as I'm there to make sure she's pampered!!"
Tian Xiaotong nodded, and agreed to give him the Night Pearl.
Lu Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly put the night pearl into the box, and the moment the box was closed, the room was dark.
Lu Yi hugged the box, greeted Ling Xuanshuang and Li Kecun, and was about to go out.
Suddenly......
Ji Li blocked the door, blocking Lu Yi's way.
Tian Xiaotong and the others stood up in shock by Ji Li's unexpected appearance.
