Chapter 204: The Ancestor in the Bamboo Forest
In terms of food, the people of Chang'an City admire Yun Ye very much, whether it is the nobles or the students of Yushan Academy, they all agree with the saying that "the Yun family's small dishes win the state banquet".
Tang Zhengzheng has always been proud of this, and the people of the Yun family Zhuangzi naturally have the momentum to eat a dish.
Tang Zheng is the second child in the family, but like the eldest brother Tang Fangfang, he inherited the hands of the family - braised pork rice.
This time, after my father made meritorious service to the main family, the eating skills passed down by the Hou Ye himself.
After the separation, Tang Zhengzheng brought this craft to Yuezhou and opened a small shop in Tongtie Lane, where many people came to eat every day.
All kinds of people, speaking in a southern tone, occasionally go over to interject, and follow the nonsense, is his greatest pleasure.
But today, Tang Zhengzheng had no intention of getting up, looking at the customers in the store, his eyes flashed with suspicion.
The small shop was not very large, and there were only six tables, except for one of which was occupied by a young man in brocade, and there were four black-cloaked men sitting next to the remaining five tables.
Everyone was holding a big bowl of braised pork rice and eating it with a snort, like a starving ghost.
Seeing that the store always looked this way secretly, Bing Sanzhang raised his hand with a smile and said, "Shop, do you have any refreshing side dishes, pick up four or five and send them over." ”
"Okay!" Tang Zhengzheng agreed, and told the guy to hurry up and prepare.
He still likes such normal guests.
After a while, Tang Zheng was carrying a tray to deliver the side dishes, and Bing Sanzhang smiled and said: "My subordinates have all suffered, and they haven't eaten enough for a long time.
Tang Zhengzheng waved his hand and said: "Guest officer, it's polite if you say that, let's open the door to do business, all the guests who come are guests, as long as you give money, you can eat anything!"
Bing Sanzhang laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, money must be indispensable!" After speaking, Bing Sanzhang auctioned out a gold coin.
Tang Zhengzheng was slightly startled and said, "Guest officer, you have too much......
"Not much!" Bing Sanzhang smiled: "You still don't know how much they eat!" The shopkeeper told the guys to cook some food and keep bringing up the braised pork. These pot-bellied men are going to start to wield!"
Tang Zhengzheng scratched his head and promised to go back.
Bing Sanzhang glanced at the people behind him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
For three days, with the assistance of the doppelgangers, the mission went very smoothly.
Those water thieves who are alive like walking corpses have lost all hope, and the appearance of Bing Sanzhang is like a long drought and a sweet rain, and like a life-saving straw that appears in front of the eyes of those who have fallen into the water, which has made them fall into ecstasy.
In three days, Bing Sanzhang's manpower expanded from four people at the beginning to more than 1,000 people like balloons. Under the teachings of "maintaining the balance between good and evil in heaven and earth" and "completing one's mission for evil", everyone became fanatical with almost no use of ice sanzhang.
The twenty people behind him have been specially strengthened, and they are the little butterflies that have been prepared.
Hearing this, a monkey dressed as a servant in a green coat and a small hat walked into the store, he first smiled and arched his hand to the shopkeeper, and then walked to Bing Sanzhang's side and said, "Sect Master, the Chai family's silk village has already sued the official, saying that it was broken into the warehouse by thieves last night and lost the goods of five thousand silver coins. These nobles are staring and talking nonsense, and we only took dozens of black cloths and ten gold coins from the counter, and when they reach their mouths, it becomes five thousand silver coins?
Bing Sanzhang chuckled: "This is normal, you have to cry if you are wronged, and the louder you cry, the happier the emperor will be." Do you care about that little bit of money? What they care about is their own peace and mind, and they are trying to make the emperor not be afraid of themselves. It seems that the shopkeeper of the Chai family in Yuezhou is a talent. ”
The monkey listened and bowed his head: "The subordinates are foolish!"
"Tell me about the news you want to hear?" Bing Sanzhang said with a wave of his hand.
The shop on Huayu Street of Changsun's family is indeed in stock, and there are not many swords and other weapons, only more than 100, but they are all good goods. The rest are ordinary iron tools, wood knives, hoes, kitchen knives and so on. ”
"Where's the escort team?"
"There is no news!, please punish the Lord!" the monkey bowed his head and pleaded guilty.
Bing Sanzhang smiled and said: "It's not your fault, Yuezhou was originally separated, and it's normal for this kind of news to be blocked." Go ahead, organize the manpower, learn to use the manpower, that's what you should do most. ”
The situation of the eldest grandson's transport team, Bing Sanzhang has long known.
In fact, this is not a secret in Yuezhou, Chang'an's iron industry is developed, and the aborigines of Yuezhou City are all old hats, and when they see that kind of sophisticated and durable ironware, their eyes are about to pop out.
The farm tools in the iron shop of the eldest grandson's family have long been snatched up, and many people come to the door every day to ask when they will be available. In such a hot market, the eldest grandson's family will naturally not be rich and not profitable.
Therefore, the news of the eldest grandson's transport team can be regarded as semi-public.
Bing Sanzhang was a little disappointed with the performance of the monkey, after all, it was still a means of water piracy, and he couldn't be put on the stage.
It seems that in the first few months, the intelligence side still needs to be on its own.
"Shopkeeper, account!"
Tang Zhengzheng waved his hand and walked over and said, "You have given enough, guest officer, I will find you money......
"No need, just keep it in the store!" Bing Sanzhang didn't wait for him to finish, and walked out with twenty black-robed people.
Now that you are full of wine and food, it is time to see blood.
Tang Zhengzheng looked at the back of a group of people hurrying away, looked at the table that was like a typhoon, and said he: "Today can be regarded as an eye-opener, I have seen the real rice bucket, good guy, twenty people have eaten two hundred catties of grain and two pigs, I really don't know how this master can afford it." ”
In the moromi shop opposite, a middle-aged couple stood up, hurriedly paid, and ran to the back alley. A young man grinding a mirror stood up and followed the black-robed men leisurely.
In the back alley, a middle-aged couple walked through a shop where briquettes were rubbing briquettes and walked into a courtyard through the back door.
Two men of five big and three thick stood in front of the arched door with their arms crossed, looked at the two of them and did not speak.
The middle-aged couple took out a waist card, and the big man leaned sideways, and said lightly: "The ancestor is in the bamboo forest!"
The man nodded, and walked briskly with the woman.
The yard is not small, but the design is very ingenious, in the gap between the two markets, there is a lot of pavilion corridor yard, but it can not be seen on the outside. In Yuezhou City, which Yun Ye single-handedly designed, such a large shadow area was deducted, which showed the power of the master here.
The bamboo forest is not big, it occupies less than one-third of the land, but it grows lush, and a vacant space is deliberately set aside in the middle, and a platform is trimmed with heavy masonry, and an old man in civilian clothes leans on a chaise longue, his eyes half-open and half-closed to rest.
A boy walked over and said in a crisp voice: "Ancestor, the spy has reported that the main cause of the abnormal movement of the water thieves has been identified. ”
The old man sighed softly and said softly: "These gang of killers, the miscellaneous family is ninety and seven out of ninety this year, and they are still disturbed by them. This was the case when the miscellaneous family served the Emperor Taishang back then, and now it is still like this when I am a hundred horsemen, and I don't have any brains for many years!"
The old man got up, and the boy stepped forward to help the old man arrange his luxurious clothes.
"The miscellaneous family is old, and they won't live for a few years. I thought that I could enjoy a few days of light happiness when I came to Yuezhou, but I didn't know that those water thieves would not stop again. It is Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness to leave their lives, and the water thieves only need to survive in peace, and now they dare to move, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead!"
"Ancestor, what do you mean?" asked the little boy with big black and white eyes.
The old man smiled slightly, "A little doll with no hair, dare to brush up on the miscellaneous family? The spy dared to come to me, it must have found a big fish, and the water thieves couldn't get into their eyes." It is really audacious to dare to swallow this kind of credit!"
The boy came down in a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shivered.
"Since you have a seven-trick exquisite heart, you have to use it. It's best to take the right path like Yun Hou, and you don't hate it when you take the wrong path, but you have to be a little more careful when hiding your intentions. Once exposed, death is actually the greatest luxury!" The old man smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Go and call the secret agent who reported the news!"
The boy kowtowed, and walked out almost trembling all over.
After a while, the middle-aged couple walked in cautiously, only glanced at the old man, and immediately knelt on the ground to pay respects.
The old man chuckled and said: "The miscellaneous family has served Emperor Yang of Sui for fifteen years, served Emperor Taishang for thirty years, and served the emperor for five years. In front of the miscellaneous family, you don't need to pretend, just be the same!"
The middle-aged couple glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of horror in each other's eyes.
Sure enough, he is the ancestor of the Hundred Horsemen, and he can see through people's hearts at a glance.
"Ancestor, when my husband and wife were investigating the movements of the water pirates, they found an important target appointed by His Majesty's imperial pen!"
"Oh, who is it?" asked the old man, raising his eyebrows in interest.
"It's the god Bing Sanzhang who appeared in Liaodong!"
The old man was slightly flustered, and then laughed.
"Little monkey cubs, count you spirits. The miscellaneous family is old and frail, and they are not interested in any money and property, and their status and official positions can be abandoned at any time, but this immortal can never be put down!" The old man stood up slowly, and two old servants immediately flashed out behind him, carefully putting on a brocade robe for him.
The couple did not dare to answer, and lowered their bodies.
The old man smiled and said: "Although there is a speculative heart, things are done to the satisfaction of the miscellaneous family, and if you have it, let you two little dolls get back." Go back and explain the matter at hand, and prepare to go to the yamen of the Yuezhou Hundred Cavalry Division!"
The two were ecstatic and hurriedly kowtowed to thank them.
The old man scolded with a smile: "The spy is free, what is it to be beaten by a little wind and rain while he is young, and now the little dolls, all of them have sharpened their heads and drilled into the yamen, is it really easy to wear that official hat? When you go out, you can make five hundred gold coins, which is a congratulatory gift from a miscellaneous family!"
"Congratulatory gift?" both of them were at a loss, wouldn't it be a congratulatory gift for promotion?
Seeing the expressions of the two, the old man sighed and said, "Two fools, the pulse of the child in the womb of the little girl, the miscellaneous family has heard the two of you and still don't realize it?"
"Really?"
The man hurriedly reached out and touched the woman's wrist, his face reappeared with ecstasy, and the woman walked out of the bamboo forest almost step by step.
The old servant looked at the middle-aged couple who left and said, "The master has been so kind-hearted these years, they should have been punished for reporting to a higher level like this, but you have given so many rewards......"
"Afraid that the miscellaneous family will break the rules?" The old man glanced at the old servant and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the punishment has been given to them, I just gave them a chance to escape the punishment." ”
Another cold-faced old servant glanced at him and said lightly: "After so many years, my brain still doesn't turn." Is it so easy for spies to turn the light on the spot? The master put them in the yamen of the Hundred Cavalry Division, that is, he was put up as a target, and if they dare to take up their posts, I can guarantee that within three days, the two of them will be dead in the streets. The real reward was the five hundred gold coins, and if the two of them had brains, they would definitely take this money with them to silence the ruins. ”
The old man smiled and said, "Old, my heart is kind, if I had before, I would have taken out the child in the womb of the female doll to make wine." ”
"Master, what about Bing Sanzhang?" the old servant said softly: "The dwarf of the Tushi Palace has spoken, I am afraid that a large number of people from the rivers and lakes will soon gather in Yuezhou. ”
The old man said with a smile: "Bai Yujing is in the hands of Yun Hou, and he is protected by His Majesty and Niangniang, so we can't move." White Rock Palace is a joke, a bunch of people with bad brains. Tian Zizi of the Mo family, the miscellaneous family originally thought he was a character, but he knew that he was a madman. Tushi Palace and the evil sect of the lower five gates are crooked together, thinking that they dominate the world, but in fact they are just a clown. Only this Bing Sanzhang, the miscellaneous family is a little unclear.
Now that he appeared in Yuezhou, the miscellaneous family was very curious about what he was going to do. Colorless, I remember that you brought a lot of little dolls to Yuezhou, can you use it?"
"No problem!" The cold-faced old servant said lightly: "No problem, the disciple's non-character apprentice has already come out of the teacher, and it is the time when he needs to see blood." ”
"Then pick two spirituals and lead the team to have a look!" The old man smiled and said, "The miscellaneous family also wants to know what this Bing Sanzhang wants to do! If possible, the miscellaneous family really wants to talk to him." ”
"Master, are you worried about the water supervisor?"
The old man shook his head and did not speak.
The cold-faced old servant turned around and left, and the other shouted dissatisfiedly: "Colorless, what about your rules?"
"The rules are in the heart, not on the mouth!" The cold-faced old servant glanced at him lightly, "Wuxin, I want to remind you that the last person who kept talking about the rules was tongueless, but now he has run under Lantian Hou." Shouldn't you have forgotten who made it impossible for the sons and daughters to infiltrate the Yun family's Zhuangzi?"
The old servant was furious, and his whole body began to tremble, but he still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the old man.
The old man looked at the two with a smile, just like an old grandfather watching two bare-bottomed children quarrel, so loving, so gentle.
The cold-faced old servant went away, and the peace in the bamboo forest was restored. A ray of sunlight suddenly poured into the forest, shining brightly on the green bamboo. (To be continued.) )
