"The Ma Sheng Hutong in the southeast corner of Jingchu City is not long. It connects to Chongwenmenli Street at one end and Magpie Hutong at the other end. Although it is not far from the imperial city, because there are armor factories and pastures not far away, even Gongyuan
Not far away, there is a lively atmosphere during the Triennial Examination of the Ministry of Etiquette. Compared with the lower class people who have to go out to find work regardless of the cold winter months or the scorching summer heat, the small courtyards on this street are home to the rich.
An's ordinary centenarian surname, people who come and go are all the same.
In the middle of Ma Sheng Hutong, there is such a family living in a courtyard with two entrances. The owner, who is in his early forties, has two-hand medical skills. It is said that there are more than ten acres of fertile land in the suburbs. He has hired several long-term workers to cultivate it, and sometimes he goes out to sit in the hall.
After consultation, he had a son and a daughter, and he also had a few apprentices, so he lived a comfortable life.
It's just that he always goes out to practice medicine on some days throughout the year, and not only his family but also the neighbors are used to it. When he came back that day, he sent some local products to the nearby neighbors, and many people came to thank him.
After seeing off these guests, the host Bai Ying walked around the front yard and checked the flowers and plants he planted. Seeing that they were growing well, he couldn't help but smile and stroke the neatly combed beards on his chin. This
At that moment, someone tiptoed behind him and stood still without making a sound.
"Huzi, you are so sneaky and timid, do you have something to say?"
"Sir, what we are doing this time..." Yang Hu hesitated, coughing softly for a while and said, "If we were to kill a hundred traitors, I wouldn't even frown, but Wang Shouren is the best person in the world.
A famous person who is praised by everyone, this time he was expelled because he was impeached and castrated, and we almost caused him to lose his life..."
"You also said it was a close call. Did the other person die?" Bai Ying looked at the flowers in the flowerpot intently and said without looking back, "Since you invested in Green Forest Road, you should know that you are a good official.
, corrupt officials, for those of us who believe in Maier, there is only one goal, and that is to drive out the Maier. Ever since the Buddha Mother's uprising in the Yongle period, how many years have we been insignificant? What if we were the only ones left?
If the little trump card you played is revealed, then all the foundations in the north will be ruined in the blink of an eye. Therefore, those one or two thousand silver may be very important to your village, but I still don’t like it.
I'm afraid that person will ask us to report to the official if we don't succeed in our work and attract an army from the imperial court. That would be my fault!"
"It turns out that sir is worried about this!"
Yang Hu is a rough man, right is right and wrong is wrong. At this moment, his head was extremely tangled when he heard it. He didn't suddenly realize it until the last sentence. He clenched his fists and said in a rough voice: "In that case, that guy will come back to pay the balance later."
At that time, I found two people to kill him! I can’t spare anyone who dares to exploit Mr. Nao Yong and us brothers!"
"That's how virtuous you are!" Bai Ying turned around and said angrily and amusingly, "This is not a fight between you bandits and bandits, where you fight to the death and it's over. Since they can know
I am the Holy Master, and I know that you are my half-disciple, so don’t you have other back-ups? Besides, what’s the use of killing a pawn!”
Seeing that Yang Hu's face turned red, Bai Ying said nothing and walked towards the house with Shi Shiran behind his back. Yang Hu didn't pay attention at first, but when he heard the clicking sound, he was immediately startled and looked at Bai Ying again.
When he reached his feet, he saw several green bricks cracking. Thinking that many of the brothers below thought Bai Ying was just a doctor with superb medical skills, he couldn't help but smacked his tongue and shook his head.
He looks bigger and bigger than Bai Ying, but if they really want to fight, he is no match for the three of them!
Although he acted indifferently in front of Yang Hu just now, from a deep perspective, Bai Ying was no less angry than Yang Hu. He took over the position of Holy Master from his master, but the White Lotus Sect was in Yongren.
After the promulgation, it fell into despair. Although the civil engineering revolution caused chaos in the imperial court for a while, no matter which emperor was in charge of the imperial government, he always spared no effort to suppress the White Lotus Sect. Even during the Chenghua period, the emperor was obsessed with alchemy and ignored political affairs.
Regardless of whether they are in the east or west, they have always paid special attention to their preaching. Therefore, after so many years, although the religious disciples have gathered in large numbers, they are far from becoming a phenomenon...
However, now that the young emperor has finally ascended the throne and the government is in turmoil, someone has peeked into his movements. Even the foundation of Yang Hu's direct lineage has been clearly discovered! It should be noted that the White Lotus Sect has never been a
They are all monolithic, and the people below him are actively and secretly disobeying him as the Holy Lord, so that many people are watching him covetously. If the news is leaked and exposed, let alone the court, other people in the sect may have different ideas and want to kill others with a borrowed knife.
Who wouldn't do it! It should be noted that his wife, children, and children are all in Jingchao City, and they never knew that he was the Holy Lord of the White Lotus Sect that the Ming court had always been most wary of!
"
After writing several words of "forbearance" on the paper, Bai Ying finally calmed down, but she sat behind the desk and thought over and over about the reason for this scene. Because the owner of the incident ordered that it happen that the Xing'an Bo Mansion
In order to save people when his ship collided, he couldn't help but first think of the famous Pingbei Bo Xu Xun. But just because of this coincidence, he thought about it again and felt that there was something fishy.
Looking at this method, it seems that there is an intention to cause a quarrel between Uncle Pingbei and Liu Jin, the chief official of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Could it be that someone is planning to fight with the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman will benefit?
"Sir, sir!"
While Bai Ying was deep in thought, she suddenly heard a voice outside. When she looked up, it was Yang Hu who rushed into the room angrily. Seeing the man's face ashen, he immediately asked in a deep voice: "What, what happened?"
"Here he comes!" Yang Hu took a deep breath and then continued, "The person who sent the money is here. He doesn't look like the errand boy from before. He is a scholar with some dignity! Sir, do you want to use this to establish your authority?"
" He put his hand on his neck and made a crisp gesture, with a look of ferocity on his face, "If not, it would be easier to negotiate terms if I detain the person!"
"Don't scare the snake. Don't forget that this is Jingchu City. If he is involved with any dignitary, do you think we can get out safely?" Bai Ying suddenly stood up and ordered to Yang Hu sternly, "You let your brother
The few of you go into the wing and don't come out. You are not allowed to come out without my instructions! Remember, this is Jingchao City, not your village!"
Although he was still a little dissatisfied, Yang Hu's life was saved by Bai Ying single-handedly. The present scenery in the green forest was also due to Bai Ying's guidance. Naturally, he couldn't disobey him, so he immediately left the door in a muffled voice.
Bai Ying straightened his clothes again before leaving the house. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he immediately saw the middle-aged scholar standing in the center of the yard, looking around curiously, with a leisurely look on his face, and behind him stood a man.
There were at least some old servants in their fifties and sixties, carrying a bulging bundle in their hands.
"May I ask who this husband is..."
"Hello, Mr. Bai." The middle-aged scholar smiled and cupped his hands, and then said, "The thing I was asked to do was originally very abrupt, but I didn't expect that Mr. Bai could handle it so well. He really helped me a lot. So.
, I specially prepared a small gift today and went to the door in person to express my gratitude, and also asked Mr. Bai to forgive the rudeness of those who came to the door before.
Thinking of the man who had forcefully revealed his identity before and arrogantly forced him and Yang Hu to do such a thing, and then compared with the middle-aged scholar who was smiling and polite, Bai Ying saw her youngest son.
He came out to watch the excitement out of curiosity, and couldn't help but glanced at the past angrily. When he saw the person immediately shrank his head and fled back to the inner courtyard, he just said calmly: "There is no need to talk about forgiveness. Since it is a business, it is natural to make a wish.
Damn, the situation is stronger than the person, and I have nothing to say."
"If Mr. Bai said that, I would be extremely embarrassed." The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly again, and then said meaningfully, "But, is Mr. Bai just planning to talk to me in the courtyard like this?"
"I was negligent. It's just that the distinguished guest came from afar and knew me very well, Bai Ying, but I didn't know the guest's name. It seems that no one in the world has treated each other like this before?"...
"If I want to have a name and a surname, I can have a hundred of them anytime and anywhere. Since Mr. Bai is so persistent, just call me Mr. Second."
"Since there are two gentlemen, is it possible that there is a big gentleman behind you?"
The second gentleman was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly and said: "As expected of Mr. Bai, he really has a keen eye. The second gentleman doesn't have one, but the big shopkeeper has one. So we can finally come in and talk?"
Bai Ying saw this man smiling all the time. He had the intention of irritating him, but he still seemed fine. He could only let him into the house with a sullen face. He saw the old servant accompanying the second gentleman into the house. When the second gentleman sat down,
, this man was still standing next to his master like a clay sculpture, motionless. He glanced at it and couldn't see clearly, then simply withdrew his gaze and said slowly: "The matter has been done. Now that the second gentleman is here,
, settle the remaining accounts, and we will be cleared."
"Hey, they all say that business cannot be done without justice. Now that we have made a deal, why should Mr. Bai be so heartless and just settle the matter?" Seeing Bai Ying's eyes condensed, Mr. Er smiled and gestured to the old servant next to him.
, when he walked up to Bai Ying with the baggage, he raised his hand and said, "This is the five hundred taels of silver that we agreed on before. In addition, because Mr. Bai did a really good job in this matter without leaving any trace, so in addition,
The five hundred taels belong to Mr. Xie Bai."
"
Bai Ying had been paying attention to the old servant before and saw that he was carrying something with one hand as if nothing had happened, with his shoulders level. If he hadn't said it bluntly at this time, it would be hard to believe that the heavy package contained more than sixty kilograms of silver.
.Even though he had once thought of asking Yang Hu to keep the person for questioning, he could only give it up at this moment. But when he reached out to pick it up, he had the intention to test it. As soon as he spread his hand to grab the baggage, he suddenly put his hand away.
Grabbing it down and sinking it, the force suddenly added was more than a hundred kilograms.
However, the old servant didn't seem to notice it at all. One hand did not tremble, but he still lifted the bundle steadily and bent down respectfully.
"Mr. Bai please!"
Bai Ying felt like she was trying to pull a huge boulder with two hands. She suddenly felt a little angry and gained another five points of strength. At this time, the old servant opposite finally showed a somewhat dignified expression.
With an expression on his face, the hand holding the baggage was tilted to block it. Seeing Bai Ying's head and toes slightly raised, he suddenly kicked forward. He stamped his feet again, and his two feet suddenly collided together, making a sound like the collision of gold and stone.
, and then the baggage fell firmly into Bai Ying's hands.
"Second sir, your servant is really skilled!"
"Hahahaha, what the hell, that's just a bit of strength!" Bai Ying took the baggage and unwrapped the blue cloth baggage in front of her, opened the wooden box inside, and carefully inspected the silver ingots inside.
The second Mr. Bai said with a smile, "In short, once something happens, twice will become familiar. If something happens again in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Mr. Bai. But Mr. Bai, don't worry, the money will only be more generous than this time, so you don't have to worry."
What kind of news will we leak? It should be noted that this matter is not visible to the public, and the head of the family is not a short-sighted person. But there is one thing I have to remind Mr. Bai, we are friends, not enemies, but now the stupid people of Jingcheng have been
Many people have been deceived and believe in the Wuji Holy Ancestor mentioned by Master Luo. If this continues, it will inevitably be detrimental to the Holy Religion."
Bai Ying was furious when he heard that this time the other party was not enough and planned to find him again next time. However, when he heard the word "family master" and heard the other party mention Luo Qing, he unknowingly took a deep breath.
After calming down the anger in his chest, he said calmly: "Mr. Bu Laoer is concerned, I have my own opinion on this matter. Come and see your guests off!"
….
Following this sound, Yang Hu rushed in. Seeing Bai Ying giving a calm look, even though he was anxious, he could only resist his anger and made a gesture of invitation. He said to the master and servant
The two of them were sent outside. When he saw the second gentleman bending down to get into the car, he couldn't help but sneered: "Your Majesty, please be more careful when driving on the road in the future. Don't accidentally break the shaft or startle the horse!"
"
"Oh, thank you very much for the reminder, Master Yang!" Mr. Second suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "Master Yang, please be more careful in the future. The imperial court seems to be first-rate towards the bandits and thieves in the Jinan area and is somewhat tidy.
mean."
The second gentleman got on the car, and the old servant jumped into the driver's seat without saying a word. With a wave of his whip, the carriage immediately moved forward steadily. The second gentleman opened the curtains and saw Yang Hu standing there gnashing his teeth. He couldn't help but shake his head.
He laughed dumbly and said: "It is easy to handle a vulgar person and a reckless man, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Sir, there is someone following you, do you want to get rid of him?"
"After turning from Chongwenmenli Street to Yangzhou Hutong, deal with the people, remember not to kill anyone!"
When the carriage drove out of a north-south alley near the Zhizhifang grassland in Yangzhou Hutong, a figure hanging behind the carriage disappeared without knowing it. The carriage went around in a circle, but then left the city through Chongwen Gate.
Not long after turning east and passing the extraction factory, the carriage stopped. The second gentleman only heard the old servant outside respectfully call out: "Big shopkeeper."
"Did you happen to be passing by, or are you waiting for me here?" The second gentleman opened the car curtains and saw a middle-aged man wearing an iron mask in a sedan opposite and stepped forward to board the car without saying a word. He couldn't help but smile.
He said, "Why, for such a trivial matter, are you still worried that I won't be able to handle it personally? That Bai Ying is known as the Holy Lord White Lotus, but he is indecisive and has no atmosphere at all. If I were him, I have not yet become a popular figure in Luo Qing.
If we had taken action to destroy it long ago, would there still be the current trend of fighting against each other?"
"Bai Ying is nothing special, but after all, he is the nominal co-leader of Bai Lian. People in the villages and green forest roads in Jinan often believe in Mai Le. If you really want to anger him, it will not be good for Da Nuo.
." Gently holding the iron face on his face, Xu Bian said in a deep voice, "When I came to Jingchao City, I originally wanted to go to the north, but I learned that the situation in Jingchao City was like this, so I had to stay.
A few days. Mr. Luo, you always have every plan. According to you, if this situation continues to develop, who will win and who will lose?"
"Well..."
Mr. Luo, who has countless identities, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Don't tell me, this problem is really tricky. Xu Xun has given me too many surprises, and has won over people one after another. Now he
Not only did his momentum not lose to Liu Jin's, but he actually surpassed it slightly. What's even more rare is that he was able to seduce several top figures in the Qingliu with his sweet words. I have to say that this method is really powerful. However, Liu Jin has been in the palace for a long time after all.
These, as long as the emperor's holy family is there, they can stand firm. In addition to Liu Yu, who has just taken over as Minister of War, I heard that Cao Yuan, the censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Procuratorate, is also hooked up. All the cunning people in the court know this.
The Liu family is easier to get into than the Xu family, but people from Qingliu may not be willing to join Xu, so the two are actually evenly matched."
"If he had known earlier, he would have taken a fancy to the person who was deceived from Jiao Fang's house. Who would have thought that someone would run away without paying attention!
"As expected of Mr. Luo, he can see things more clearly than the rest of us." Xu Bian smiled slightly, and then said thoughtfully, "However, His Highness's affairs can only be dealt with by Liu Jin. After all, Nanchang is far away in Jiangxi, and Jinghua is far away.
Most of the people in the city didn't take it seriously, but Xu Xun was the son of Jinling, and Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua were under his sect. If Lin Jun, who was under the control of Ding You, was recruited again, it would not be so easy for His Highness to regain the bodyguard. This matter must be done as soon as possible.
So Mr. Luo has to work hard.”….
The so-called hard work is nothing more than groveling and flattering, which Mr. Luo is very familiar with. The two discussed for a while in the car, and Xu Bian got out of the car and returned to his sedan. After a while, the top
The sedan carried by the two disappeared into the alley. It was only then that Mr. Luo lowered the curtain and said casually: "He always just made money and ignored external affairs, but now he comes to give me advice.
They say that I have had thousands of incarnations, but no one has figured out his origins from beginning to end. If I were Your Highness, I would not believe such a person!"
"Sir, you are extremely talented. The big shopkeeper always only cares about money, so naturally he cannot compare with you. As for trust, His Highness certainly trusts you more."
"That's right."
As the carriage started moving again, it turned out of the alley in a short while. Not long after, the two-person sedan that had just disappeared turned out of a side alley and stopped at the same spot. Xu Bian picked
He opened the sedan curtain and stared at it silently for a long time. It was not until two black figures emerged from the alley and stood respectfully in front of the sedan that he whispered: "Keep an eye on Mr. Luo, he is the one who negotiates all these matters outside.
Be sure to pay attention to everyone he hands over. If anything goes wrong, you will follow His Highness's previous instructions."
"yes!"
When the people left, Xu Bian lowered the curtain of the sedan chair to signal for departure. He leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and squinted as if to recuperate. After a long time, he let out a long sigh of relief, and his face showed a trace of anger.
He smiled happily.
He paid so much price, not only did his son become someone else's, but also his face was ruined. After suffering for so many years, he was finally not far from getting his long-cherished wish! Although he had also thought of other ways, the facts proved that Only by eradicating the root cause can he avoid future troubles forever, so he could only bury those impulses deep in his heart. Fortunately, he gave birth to a good son who was smart and alert, and his daughter-in-law was already pregnant, so he no longer had any worries. !
"
He has done many good deeds for justice and wealth, but what is the result? There is only power and no justice in this world. As long as he takes revenge, it doesn't matter if the world is flooded!
There was a festive atmosphere in the Xing'an Bo Mansion. After Xu Liang and Shen Yue returned together yesterday, the news of Shen Yue's happiness spread. But in one night, not only the servants in the manor knew about it, but there were also many officials outside. When the members got the news, there were many people who flocked to congratulate and give gifts. In contrast, those who had a real friendship with the Xu family did not respond so quickly. Only Tang Yin asked his wife to take his daughter to give Shen Yue a painting by his own hand. Painting of Avalokitesvara.
At this moment, Shen Yue sat there with Taosheng in her arms, and smiled at Shen Jiuniang: "Mr. Tang and sister-in-law are so polite. If you ask me, it is all the blessings that Taosheng brought, even that day I happened to find someone to check my pulse, and it was all thanks to her.
"No matter where it is, Madam herself is very blessed. Speaking of that day, I am still very scared. If she really made trouble and caused fetal contraction..."
"Isn't this good? Besides, if it hadn't been for her bump, maybe I would still be confused!" Shen Yue was scared as she said it, thinking to herself that Mrs. Wei Guo was absolutely right at that time. Ever since her godmother was abducted by the monk, Now that she's gone, she doesn't have a mother by her side, so there are some things that she doesn't understand and she doesn't have any reminder. Otherwise, why would it take so long to find out?
Seeing Taosheng laughing and dancing around Shen Yue, knowing that this was the temper she developed when she was in Nanjing, Shen Jiuniang couldn't help but feel a little frightened, but when she saw Shen Yue smiling, she pulled Taosheng to sit on the soft couch with her. She was asked if she was used to being in Jingchao City, and if she missed home. Although she also missed Taohuawu, Suzhou, she passed by in a flash.
Although the life of living in seclusion in Taohuawu with Tang Yin was good, it was difficult to get enough fuel, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Tang Yin, who had lost his fame, could bully even a petty official into his family. It was not impossible to go back now, but when Ping Beibo was employing people, his husband My son-in-law is not good at other things, but he is still able to deal with scholars like Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua. When my husband-in-law assists Uncle Pingbei to succeed and they return to Taohuawu, then they will truly be together for a lifetime. Peace and joy….
Shen Yue looked at little Taosheng, who inherited her mother's exquisite features and her father's handsome features, and couldn't help but think about whether the baby in her belly would be a daughter or a son. Although wealthy families all look forward to having a son first, but last night Xu Xu Xun Xu kept talking about wanting a daughter first, so that in the future he, the eldest sister and the younger brother, would be able to save some worries, so now she was a little moved when she looked at Taosheng. Just when she was hesitating, Ruyi suddenly walked quickly outside. Rushed in.
"Young Mistress, I'm so happy!" Ru saw Shen Jiuniang looking over in surprise, and then she realized that there was someone else there. She hurriedly rushed to Shen Yue's side and bent down and said, "Mama Li sent someone to announce the good news. She I gave birth to a big fat boy!”
"Ah!" Shen Yue suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Godmother gave birth so soon? Where is she? Where is she?"
Ruyi knew that Shen Yue must have forgotten that Li Qingniang was now the wife of the Zhong family. She coughed dryly and then said: "The reward for the good news left after the reward. He said that after the full moon, he would have a banquet to entertain the young mistress!"
Although Shen Yue understood it immediately, after all, she had already regarded Li Qingniang as her biological mother after spending so little time together. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but stood up: "What a full moon... now we have to I'm thinking about what to give... Madam Shen, come and help me think of an idea, what should I give to this person to celebrate his birthday?" [To be continued "The text of this article is provided by Ti Chen."
