Chapter 164 Qing Niu¡¯s Lie
After being silent for a long time, the emperor let out a long sigh of relief, looked at the landlady and asked, "Do you want to deliberately anger me? What good will this do to you? Do you think that I really don't dare to touch you?"
When he said this, the eunuch Su Buwei, who had been standing bowed behind the emperor, took a small step forward. Although she was still standing behind the emperor, the boss lady's eyes narrowed slightly. This eunuch could easily be ignored standing in the room, but when he took a step forward, no one could pretend he didn't exist.
Neither can the boss lady.
"Your Majesty will soon send troops to attack the Western Barbarians, so why wouldn't you dare to kill a village woman like me?"
The landlady¡¯s answer was neither condescending nor arrogant, and I really couldn¡¯t tell that she showed any respect for the emperor. What she said before was direct and cold, like new wine or a horizontal knife. She was right. When Prince Zhong Yang Qi traveled westward, in the final analysis it was for him, his fourth brother. In the final analysis, those Jianghu travelers who traveled west were still doing it for Yang Qi. The landlady said that the emperor owed Prince Zhong, and Prince Zhong owed them.
Although the landlady knew that Prince Zhong¡¯s purpose in traveling westward was not pure, her respect for him remained unchanged. When the word sir is mentioned, the respect in the tone is much stronger than when the word majesty is mentioned.
"I remember what you said today."
The emperor slowly walked back to the Tukang and sat down. He lowered his head and looked at the name that had not been erased from the talent list. He pondered for a while and said: "I will not kill him casuallybut I will not kill him casually either Let him go casually. I am the Supreme Being who controls the life and death of thousands of people and is responsible for the peace of my territory. You may think that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, and think that I am afraid that one day people who are really Buddhists will be harmful to me. That¡¯s why I imprisoned him. But my life is connected to billions of living beings, so I can¡¯t care less even if I want to.¡±
When she heard this sentence, the landlady couldn¡¯t help but think of Fang Jie. The young man in her memory was also a scum who could be said to be fearful of death.
"The daughter of the people resigns."
She had nothing to say, so she left.
The emperor thought for a while and said: "Don't stay in the inn. Lao Qi still has his house in Chang'an City. You are his, so just live in Prince Zhong's Mansion. Those servants are still the old people from back then. You may not know them." , but as long as you mention that you were the one who followed Lao Qi to the west, they will respect you as much as they respect Lao Qi. "
"As for you talking about going back to Fan Gu to build three earthen tombs forget it, Lao Qi is not that easy to die. When he took his slaves to guard the city gate, many people thought he would die, but he Not dead. When he traveled thousands of miles westward and entered the prairie with his sword, many people thought he was dead, but this time I firmly believe that he will not die, because he is my seventh brother. He is the loyal prince of Sui Dynasty."
"Besidesif Lao Qi is really unfortunate enough to pass away, it won't be your turn to build any earthen tomb in Fangu. Lao Qi will enter the imperial mausoleum! Right next to my mausoleum!"
This time it was the landlady¡¯s turn to be startled. She couldn¡¯t help but glance at the emperor one more time, but she didn¡¯t speak again. Instead, she gave a slight salute and turned around to walk out of the Qionglu.
This was not a pleasant conversation, not even a smooth one.
The emperor's ability to tolerate the boss's wife's arrogance has surprised the boss's wife herself. She thought that the emperor would be furious if she said such treasonous words. But the emperor didn't, although he was really angry. What impressed the landlady most was not the emperor's magnanimity, but the eunuch who looked humble and submissive without any threat. She was sure that this person was very difficult to deal with.
Li Nan is a ninth-level powerhouse, but he was not eleven years ago. That day when she was fighting against the old monk Zhi Zhi outside Chang'an City, the landlady saw Li Nan's sword that was like a flying star from the sky. The sad and unwilling sword intention may be a true reflection of his state of mind in the past eleven years. Because of what happened eleven years ago, he had this meaning in his sword intention after he advanced to the ninth level.
But after all, it was too late for him to advance to the ninth level, not to mention that he was far behind the old monk. Even compared to Taoist Heji, he is still inferior to Zhuo Buyi. If not, the old cripple would not have easily rescued Shen Qingshan that night, and Rang Linan would not have been able to trace him.
The landlady couldn¡¯t see Su Buwei¡¯s level, but she felt that he should be stronger than Li Nan.
When walking out of Qionglu, the landlady looked up at the sky. I don't know when the originally sunny sky turned gray, and a thick layer of dark clouds pressed down on Chang'an City. Maybe there would be a heavy rain soon. Heavy rain can dispel the heat, but it will always make people feel depressed.
The young eunuch Mu San had been waiting outside when he saw the landlady coming out.The queen greeted him respectfully, leaned over and said with a smile: "The carriage is waiting outside Changchun Garden. Your Majesty has told you in advance to take you directly to Prince Zhong's Mansion."
The landlady nodded and followed Mu San out. When she was leaving Changchun Garden, she looked at Mu San's back and said something.
"Fang Jie will be very happy to have a friend like you."
Mu San was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said in a very low voice: "You should forget about my talkativeness today. At leastyou should forget about it before Mr. Xiao Fang comes out of the prison."
The landlady nodded and said, "I know, no one wants to die."
"Yeah"
Mu San smiled flatteringly and said, "That's right, especially for a person with a humble status like me, I feel more and more alive that it's good to live, but I don't dare to die easily, otherwise what's the point?"
"But don't worry, just because Fang Jie will like a friend like you, then he will definitely not want to be alone when he dies, and I don't want him to be alone, do you understand?"
The landlady said as she got on the carriage.
Mu San stiffened suddenly, and a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead: "Todaywhy is it so hot?"
He murmured, but his heart felt cold and trembling.
¡¡
¡¡
Sanjinhou¡¯s Mansion looks no different from the past. Because Sanjinhou is not at home and Miss Wu Yinyu has gone to Qingle Mountain to practice meditation, the door of the Hou¡¯s Mansion is closed and there are no visitors. Even the side door was ajar, and there were no servants waiting at the door to greet guests.
The Sanjin Houfu is not very conspicuous in Chang'an City, but this house seems a bit shabby. Compared with Wu Daodao's house before he was ennobled, it was small and pitiful.
The shop Fang Jie rented on East 23rd Street was not close to Sanjin Houfu. It would take at least nearly an hour to walk if he was not in a hurry. Because Chang'an City is so big, there are carriages carrying passengers traveling back and forth in the city. And the fee is not high, it only costs five copper coins to travel from the east city to the west city.
When Qilin returned to Sanjin Houfu, both Daquan and Shen Qingshan were a little surprised and asked why Qilin came back. Qilin explained that Dean Zhou had come to him personally and told him that Fang Jie was going to retreat in the back mountain for a period of time. No one can disturb him during the day. He can go back to Sanjin Houfu and wait. When Fang Xie comes out of the customs, someone will naturally be sent to inform him.
If someone else said this, Qilin would definitely be suspicious, but Dean Zhou told him personally, so Qilin had no reason to doubt anything.
I returned to Sanjin Houfu and stayed there for two days, but I had nothing to do. Da Quan remembered Fang Jie's explanation and asked Qilin to go out together, planning to go to Fang Jie's shop to see how the tailors were progressing. Da Quan knew how talented Fang Jie was in doing business, and he never doubted whether Fang Jie could make money in business. He will only think about how much money he will make from this business. How much more can you earn compared to the three buildings in Fangu?
Having said that, logically speaking, this small tailor shop cannot make more money than Jinyuanfang, but Da Quan firmly believes that Fang Jie will make a lot of money from this small store.
The two of them went out. Qilin wanted to walk, but Daquan, who had never had any idea about silver, was too lazy to walk. Instead, he waited for the passing city carriage to arrive and then take the car. Speaking of which, Big Dog is really a very strange person. He is obviously a down-and-out beggar-like figure, but he insists on some inexplicable habits. He doesn't do laundry, he doesn't go to the kitchen, and he doesn't skimp on money.
This guy who looks wretched and dirty always regards himself as a noble and is not allowed to question it. Even in the summer, he does not change his leather robe, but he insists that he can wear it like a young master. But when Qilin smelled it, there was really no other smell except rancidity.
It took the two of them less than half an hour to get on the city-crossing carriage and reach East 23rd Street. The door of the shop was still closed. The couple selling hot soup noodles and xiaolongbao at the door may have closed the stall because the weather suddenly turned cloudy. This made Da Quan a little regretful. He hadn't eaten the xiaolongbao in a few days. He still wanted to eat the xiaolongbao. So greedy. However, there were a few people doing other businesses on the street, which looked unfamiliar.
Pushing open the door of the shop, Big Dog swaggered inside and shouted: "Why can't I hear any sound? The boss hired you and trusts you. You get the highest wages and the best food." He lives in the most comfortable place and even works without supervision. Can you deserve him for being so lazy? "
But no one paid any attention to him.
The big dog was startled, then winked at Qilin.
Qilin, who was as burly as a mountain, nodded, picked up the wooden stick blocking the door from behind the door and walked slowly upstairs. The big dog climbed up along the pillar from the other side, and the two people were on the left and the other.Slowly approach the room where the tailors live on the second floor. Just when they were getting closer, the door suddenly opened with a creak, startling Da Quan and Qilin. They looked at each other and then rushed in.
As soon as they entered the door, the two of them were stunned.
In the room, a fat man wearing a black monk's robe was squatting on the ground, gasping for air, wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves from time to time, and giving them a resentful look.
"Fang Jie is really blind when he asks people like you to look at his shop."
The young fat Taoist wiped his sweat and said, "I have been waiting for you here for a long time. If you don't come, I will go into the Sanjin Houfu at night to take off your quilt!"
The big dog looked at the man and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Xiang, what are you doing?"
He pointed to the four or five tailors behind who were tied up like rice dumplings and asked. Those tailors were still gagged, making whining sounds, and looked at the big dog with eyes asking for help.
"These guys are so fucking capable. I tied them up when I was tired and sweating. I said I was a friend of their boss. These guys didn't believe me. They said I was a thief or a fortune teller. Human. I am wearing a real Taoist robe. Does it look like a fortune teller and a money swindler? In order to prevent them from making a fuss, I had to tie them up."
"Huh¡¡"
After saying these words, the fat Taoist Xiang Qingniu asked: "Why is there one missing? Where is Fang Jie's beautiful girl?"
Before the big dog could react, he subconsciously asked: "What is going on?"
Xiang Qingniu looked outside and saw that the door was closed. Then he took Da Quan and Qilin to another room and said in a very low voice: "There are all spies from the Imperial Guard Department outside, and I won't talk about the ones next to me. Tonight, the three of you sneak out from Sanjin Houfu and go straight to the Taoist temple. I will arrange for you to hide and find a way to send you out of Chang'an early tomorrow morning. "
He took out a piece of cloth soaked with sweat from his arms and handed it to the big dog: "Something happened to Fang Jie."
"ah?"
Qilin was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with him?"
Xiang Qingniu didn't dare to tell the truth to Da Quan after Qiu Yu told him, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a good reason. He was stunned for a moment, looked into Qilin's eyes and said seriously: "Fang Jie went into the palace to peek at the maids taking a bath. The emperor was very angry, and the consequences will be serious. He asked me to send you out first and come back later." !¡±
Da Quan was silent for a while, looked into Xiang Qingniu's eyes and asked, "Do you think I believe it?"
Xiang Qingniu wiped his sweat and sighed: "Damn it, I don't believe it myself!" - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
