Chapter Three: The Funeral Valley Beauty Meets Strange Fate, and True Love Is Hard to Collect (16)
"He Gongzi" saw that He Xiaohui was now homeless, and insisted on following "them", so he said to He Xiaohui: "Since 'Xiaobai' likes you so much, you don't need to say that you should be a servant, just wait for us, anyway, we won't let you go hungry, and I can teach you some skills in the future." β
"Thank you, Childe, it's great to be with you, Xiao Hui knows that you are good people, Xiao Hui will not only not starve with you, but will no longer be bullied by others. He Xiaohui said.
"Xiaohui, we will be together in the future, let's learn medical skills with 'He Gongzi', you will definitely be very happy. "Xiaobai" said.
"Xiao Hui is afraid that she doesn't have that understanding, she doesn't know anything about medical skills, Xiao Hui has been learning some small martial arts with her uncle since she was very young, and her uncle taught Xiao Hui martial arts, all for the sake of performance, Xiao Hui only knows a little bit about martial arts, and nothing else, but Xiao Hui can help He Gongzi do some chores, Xiao Hui is not afraid of being tired, and she will definitely do a good job. He Xiaohui said.
"You have been martial arts since elementary school, this is very good, this shows that you already have a certain foundation in martial arts, and you will have a foundation for learning skills in the future, rest assured, we will teach you more skills in the future, and you will definitely be useful." "He Gongzi" said.
"He Gongzi, I won't tell you, Xiao Hui still knows a little bit about fist and foot kung fu, I met those three villains just now, the three of them besieged Xiao Hui together, Xiao Hui couldn't beat them, so she was bullied, if they weren't three people, but just one person, Xiao Hui wouldn't be afraid, Xiao Hui still had a way to deal with a villain, he didn't think he could bully Xiao Hui. He Xiaohui said. She was very confident, and the scared look she had just now had completely disappeared.
"He Gongzi" thought: "This Xiaohui is a good seedling, has a martial arts foundation, and there is a kind of perseverance and fortitude in her heart, is a good material for learning martial arts, we went down the mountain this time, we can meet her, take her back to the valley, this trip out of the mountain is not in vain, and there is one more talent after the "Funeral Valley". β
"Really, you're quite capable. Those three villains are all martial arts. If there is only one person who bullies you, can you deal with him? It seems that your martial arts are very good, did you learn from your uncle?" Xiaobai asked.
"Yes. Xiao Hui's uncle's martial arts are relatively good. The last time we performed. Several bullies besieged him and were defeated by his uncle, who played scoundrels. Let the patrol arrest and take my uncle to prison and torture my uncle to death, those bullies colluded with the officials and harmed my uncle, otherwise, they would not be able to defeat my uncle, and those officials would be even worse!" He Xiaohui said angrily.
"Yes, now, powerful officials are very bad, bullying the people, big officials bullying small officials, doing all kinds of evil, in the future, we have the ability, we will never bypass them. "Xiaobai" remembered that he was forced to marry, and "he" and He Xiaohui had the same feelings.
"Don't worry, this son will teach you skills, you will not be bullied in the future, we must join hands to fight against the wicked, you must learn your skills well, and you can have the ability to teach those bad guys in the future!" "He Gongzi" said.
"Childe, what should we do now? According to 'Xiaobai', let's leave this polder city, you injured those three villains just now, their fathers are all local snakes here, they will soon bring people to retaliate against us, in Guandi Temple polder city, we are unfamiliar, let's leave here first, lest those wicked people come, there will be trouble." "Xiaobai" Jian Yì said.
"Haha, yes, 'Xiaobai' can help Ben Gongzi use his brain to think about the problem, before he came out, Uncle Lin was afraid that you would affect my actions when you went down the mountain with me, now it seems that you will not only not affect my actions, but can also help me think about the problem, this is great, you are right, this is their territory, let's get out of here first, and then settle accounts with them, the reason why those three villains dare to do all kinds of evil is because their father is a powerful dog officer, and when you learn the ability in the future, let's teach those dog officials a lesson, go!" "He Gongzi" said.
"He Gongzi" took "Xiaobai" and He Xiaohui left the suburbs of Guandi Temple Wei City, they went to the inn to settle the bill, and then, they went from the suburbs to the city, "He Gongzi" The next plan is to go to the lively places around the Confucius Temple, try to learn about some recent news, "He Gongzi" feels that the street market around the Confucius Temple is the easiest to find out the latest developments in the capital now.
The Confucius Temple is a very lively place, where all kinds of people gather, including literati, merchants, officials, and gang members, as well as wine shops, inns, shops, green houses, gambling houses, etc.
"He Gongzi" found an inn, "he" asked He Xiaohui to stay in the inn and wait, and did not allow He Xiaohui to walk out of the inn, "he" said to He Xiaohui: "I and 'Xiaobai' are going to the gambling house to find out the news, if you follow us, others will feel strange, you wait for us here, at most two and a half hours, we will be back." β
"Don't worry, Xiao Hui must be waiting for you here, you have to be careful, I heard that there is a lot of chaos in the gambling house. He Xiaohui said.
"Don't worry, Xiaohui, He Gongzi has a way, you don't have to worry!" "Xiaobai" said.
Coming out of the inn and walking through a few shops, "He Gongzi" and "Xiaobai" found a gambling house, "they" walked in, and the guard of the gambling house saw that a rich man with a scholar welcomed "them" in.
"He Gongzi" said to the guards very arrogantly: "Boy, quickly take Ben Gongzi to your shopkeeper, this son has something important to discuss with your shopkeeper." β
The guard felt that this boy was not small, and hurriedly took "them" to find the shopkeeper, and the guard said: "Shopkeeper Yang, this boy said that there is something important for you to discuss, let the little one bring him to meet you!"
"Welcome, welcome, may I ask your surname? I don't seem to have seen you before, today is the first time to visit this gambling house, you will definitely have good luck." Shopkeeper Yang said.
"Thank you Yang shopkeeper Jiyan, this son's surname is He, this is this son's scholar, surnamed Bai, I heard my father say that your 'Silver Music Workshop' is very lively, and you are very well-informed about the news in the society, so I came to see it. "He Gongzi" said.
Shopkeeper Yang looked at "He Gongzi" carefully, and his eyes seemed to ask: "What kind of character is your father?"
"Xiaobai" guessed his thoughts, and interjected: "My son-in-law's father, Master He, was originally the Imperial History of the Zuo Du of the Imperial Palace, and now he is serving in the Salt Envoy Department of the Ducha, and he has served in Hangzhou Mansion in the past few years. β
"Disrespectful, disrespectful, it turned out to be the son of the Lord of the Transfer, you can come to the 'Silver Music Workshop', it is an honor in the next, if you have any instructions, you will try your best to do it. "Shopkeeper Yang knows that the transfer envoy who is in charge of the transfer of salt is very rich, and his son can come to this gambling house, naturally he is a big guest, and he must be entertained with heart, so his attitude towards "He Gongzi" is very respectful.
"He Gongzi" took out five taels of silver, handed it to the shopkeeper Yang, and whispered to the shopkeeper Yang: "This son has just returned to the capital, and he is very unfamiliar with the current situation in the capital, and he wants to ask the shopkeeper Yang to help, and tell the important news in the capital at the moment.
Yang shopkeeper thought: "The son of the transfer envoy is not ordinary, as soon as he comes back, he will go to the palace to find the most powerful Zhang Lianying, he is afraid that he will not be able to communicate with Zhang Lianying, it turns out that he came to me to inquire about the news, yes, he is knowledgeable, and knows that I have the latest news here, so he will tell him, if this son can come to the 'Silver Music Fang' to gamble in the future, isn't that the one who came to send silver?"
"Haha, He Gongzi, you are really amazing, as soon as you go back to the capital, you will find the right place, you know that you can find out the news here, you are really an expert, well, I don't dare to hide it from you, and I can't hide it from you, so I said it directly, the most important news now is: something big has happened in the palace. Shopkeeper Yang deliberately stopped, took a sip of water, and said to his men: "Quickly make tea for He Gongzi and them! Why does the master have tea to drink while the guests have no tea?"
"Shopkeeper Yang, just say it, don't sell it, this son will repay you well in the future, tell me important news, just from now on, this son is your good friend of Shopkeeper Yang." "He Gongzi" said.
"Well, something really happened in the palace, not long ago, the emperor's favored Concubine De suddenly left the palace, there was news outside, saying that she was killed in a Taoist temple, later, there was news that she was not dead, the emperor thought that it was because of the Empress Dowager's persecution, Concubine De would leave the palace, at the same time, the emperor suspected that the Empress Dowager secretly sent someone to murder Concubine De, so she fell out with the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has been explaining, saying that she did not send someone to harm Concubine De, the emperor did not believe it, and made a lot of trouble, the Empress Dowager could not explain clearly, and the emperor was so angry that she was sick, and she was very ill, and she lay down on the bed and couldn't take care of the affairs of the haremγ Shopkeeper Yang said.
"Then, isn't there no one in charge of the harem?" asked "He Gongzi".
"The queen mother is sick, but, the queen who has been ill for a long time suddenly completely improved, it is said that it was the concubine who left the harem, carefully treated the queen, and completely cured the queen's illness, the queen mother was seriously ill and could not manage the harem, to others, the queen mother did not trust, the queen mother was her niece, mild temperament, the queen mother trusted the queen, so the queen let the queen manage the harem, everyone felt that the queen would manage the harem, the harem would be relatively calm, but, this time everyone made a mistake, the usually gentle and docile queen, this time it was very different, she did a big thing resolutely, so that everyone in the harem was surprised, impressed with the queen. Shopkeeper Yang said. (To be continued......)
