Song Huiyue sat quietly while Liu Qin arranged for tea to be delivered. Song Huiyue was given fried bean tea with salt, ginger and sesame seeds. Yinxiao and Song Huiyue ate and drank the same, and Du Lan drank candied golden oranges.
Tea.
The three of them sat in a row and drank tea together. Although they did not speak, they seemed to be enjoying themselves and looked very peaceful.
The three irritable thieves sitting opposite also stopped talking. They felt that whenever they spoke, they would appear vulgar - not in terms of vulgar language, but that they couldn't participate even if they were sitting in front of the Buddha statue in Xiangguo Temple.
In this quiet scene, they are irritable and passionate from the inside out, and need to be vented through various words and actions.
After finishing the cup of tea, Tong Peng couldn't hold back the silence and didn't know what to say. He couldn't talk to Mrs. Song about embroidery. He didn't understand this job.
He didn't understand, maybe Tie Zhenshan had learned a little secretly, so he kept winking at Tie Zhenshan, asking her to speak.
Tie Zhenshan's stomach was empty after drinking tea, and she felt that all the oil and water had been blown away by the tea. After receiving Tong Peng's attention, she felt happy, thinking that Tong Peng had finally synchronized with her, and she was also hungry.
"Madam," she put down the tea cup, "you haven't had dinner, why don't you eat something first?"
Before Song Huiyue could answer, a loud voice sounded outside: "Amitabha, I'm hungry too. Let's eat some elbow to calm down the shock."
Tie Zhenshan jumped up, opened the door and took a look, and immediately smiled and said: "Bald Donkey, why don't you come back after eating prison food?"
Tianxin touched her bald head and followed Su Xiaojun: "The cell smells worse than the military camp in Ezhou. The smell of urine is too strong. How can I eat it?"
Tie Zhenshan twitched her nose: "Why do I smell a nasty smell on you?"
Tianxin answered honestly: "My cell has a window that faces the toilet. When I pee, the wind blows me back."
Tie Zhenshan immediately took three steps back, all the way to the window, with the intention of grabbing the window and escaping as soon as Tianxin approached.
As soon as she retreated, everyone in the room showed their faces. Su Xiaojun was stunned and quickly stepped forward and said: "Madam is here, don't listen to this monk's nonsense."
After saying that, he glanced back at Tianxin and cursed silently, telling him to keep his mouth shut.
Tianxin looked at the delicate flower-like Song Huiyue in the room, thinking that she had not paid attention in the morning and thought that this young lady was from the flower teahouse like Liu Qin. Unexpectedly, she had misjudged her and turned out to be the prince's person.
Since he belongs to the prince, it is inconvenient for him to offend him. It's not that he respects King Jin, but that King Jin has other scary things and he doesn't want to offend him.
After scratching his bald head, he went back to the house and changed his clothes and shoes before walking back.
The tea has been removed here, replaced by a table, and we started eating.
Tianxin hurried over, picked up the chopsticks, opened and closed them wide and picked up a piece of elbow meat for himself, swallowed it in his stomach and said: "It seems that King Jin has many enemies in Kyoto, and people are watching me as soon as I come here.
"
Du Lan opened his face and mouth, wanting to speak, but saw that Song Huiyue was eating tofu and had no intention of speaking, so he closed his mouth.
Tie Zhenshan picked up a large piece of Dongpo meat with three layers and made it disappear in her mouth: "Don't rely on the prince for everything. I've been in Kyoto for so long, why haven't people stared at me?"
Tianxin became suspicious: "That's right."
Baiyu said: "Brother, think about it, do you have any enemies?"
"Enemy?" Tong Peng snorted, "Can you think clearly about this?"
The four of them, if they really wanted to be enemies, had to be loaded on ships, one after another, so that they could be lined up from the Kyoto pier to the Zezhou pier.
Tianxin nodded: "Old Bai, you have been in the military camp for a long time. Have you forgotten what you used to do? You are so full of righteousness."
Baiyu slapped his head: "I really forgot about it."
"Bald Donkey, you must have offended someone," Tie Zhenshan said while eating. "They just want to kill you to catch you off guard. If you kill those bastards, you will go in. If those bastards are better than
If you are strong, you will go down, but this person did not expect you to be so patient and actually chose to abandon the knife and run for your life."
At this time, Song Huiyue finally put down her bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and asked: "Master Tianxin, do you know a person named Zhou Ke?"
Tianxin shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
Du Lan quickly told Zhou Ke's origins and even who his wife was.
But Tianxin still shook his head.
Song Huiyue said: "If you think about it again, even if your enemy is not Zhou Ke, he must have known you before you fell into the grass, otherwise he would not know that you were impatient in the past and set up such a simple plan to deal with you.
"
When talking about what happened before Luocao, Tianxin frowned: "There is one person who made me fall into the trap of Luocao."
"My secular name is Liu Xiling, and my hometown is in Jingzhou..."
Tong Peng smiled and said: "Your father is not Liu Hu, is he?"
Tianxin nodded: "Yes, my father is Liu Hu, and I am Liu Hu's eldest son."
Tong Peng took a breath: "You, a monk, really hide your secrets."
Baiyu couldn't help but said: "Are you really Liu Hu's son? Isn't the Liu family dead?"
"I am still missing." Tianxin didn't feel sad about this. It had been so long that he had almost forgotten what his father looked like. "Our family had some savings at that time..."
This time it was Tie Zhenshan who interrupted him: "Tell the truth, if you don't have some savings, you will be rich in Jingzhou."
Tianxin smiled: "Yes, Jingzhou is the richest."
The Liu family sold fish at a high price, and then opened a restaurant. Two of the three most profitable restaurants in Jingzhou were owned by his family, and they also bought a Jindu restaurant. They could have continued to be so rich, but the bad thing was one
Rhinoceros leads up.
At that time, a businessman surnamed Wu came from Kyoto. He spent all his money and brought back three rhinoceros elephants from Kyoto. He originally wanted to buy and sell them by himself, but he broke his leg in Jingzhou and couldn't walk for a while. He was desperate for money, so he decided to sell them.
Take out one.
Liu Hu immediately went to see it, made inquiries to verify its authenticity, and bought one for 150,000 taels.
After buying it, Liu Hu went to Ezhou to pick up the goods in person. When the Ezhou Warehouse inspected it, he decided that the rhinoceros-elephant lead was a fake lead because one of the horns was missing, and Liu Hu was arrested.
False rhinoceros and elephant baiting is a capital crime for confiscating one's home and genocide.
Both rhinoceros horns and ivory are used as tribute to overseas countries. There are only about fifty ivory plants each year, and rhino horns are sometimes rare in several years.
Because they are rare, they are precious. Before there were rhinoceros and elephants, there was an edict: "The people can take their tusks and horns, but the officials prohibit them from selling them. The order is to send them to the officials for half price. If anyone dares to hide them or sell them to others privately,
On the basis of law."
It wasn't until Empress Dowager Pei came to power that the rhinoceros and elephants were opened to the public, and these two things were no longer considered as tribute items and could be circulated among the powerful.
Behind every rhinoceros citation, there are huge benefits. If you have this citation, you will be able to prosper and become rich.
Because of this, rhinoceros citations are made internally and distributed to various states, with various treasure seals from the Forbidden Palace on them. Counterfeiting means treason.
Later, Liu Hu was beheaded and the Liu family was confiscated. Because the fake rhinoceros was confiscated by the government without proof, the businessman named Wu denied it and escaped.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
I enjoyed the treatment of King Jin today and fell to pieces. It was indeed very embarrassing and painful. However, King Jin did it in front of his sweetheart, so it must be a hundred times more embarrassing than me. And I fell while running wildly, and my shoes flew off.
Only, it must be a hundred times more painful than him.
