The carriage was bumpy on the uneven road, and there were only two people in the car, Xia Xun and Zhang Shisan.
The car is a horse sedan made by the Yang family depot itself, very spacious, pine carriage, with delicate carved wall panels, there is a very large and comfortable soft couch in the carriage, as well as a few brocade piers and a small table, the lower half of the wall panels on both sides are made with a mezzanine, which can hold musical instruments, chess and cards used to relieve boredom along the way, or fine wine, candied fruit, the four walls of the car are hung with light curtains, and the window position is woven with relatively sparse bamboo curtains.
There were four burly men in front and behind the car, all dressed in riding clothes and horses under their crotches.
Ordinary big families, even if they are rich, are not so extravagant that even the servants and nurses are equipped with horses, but the Yang family has this convenient condition, since the imperial court allowed private horse farms, people have begun to try to open horse farms, and the Yang family opened a horse farm in Yidu.
The four nursing homes all wore narrow blades around their waists.
For knives, the court is allowed to wear, after all, the court does not want the good people to be harmed when the road is not quiet, but it is okay to wear a knife, bows, arrows and spears and other things you had better not bring with you, even as a collection, unless you want to get yourself a charge of trying to rebel.
The destination of their trip was the stone unloading shed, where there was a quarry that the Yang family had just set up at the beginning of the year.
Zhang Shisan swayed slightly with the car and said, "If you appear in Qingzhou City at this time, it won't take half a day to work hard, and your true form will be revealed, so we have to find an excuse to leave Qingzhou first."
The quarry of the stone unloading shed has just been established at the beginning of the year, the king of Qi wants to rebuild the palace, and all the stones needed are supplied by this quarry, you are the proprietor of the quarry, because the stone is supplied to the palace, so you can rest assured that you will rush to preside over the overall situation, and this reason is also said in the past. ” "Yes" "Several of the stewards on the quarry side are hired locals, and they are not familiar with Yang Wenxuan, the owner, so it is easy for you to hide from them.
However, after all, the quarry is not the main industry operated by the Yang family, and there is no need for the owner to stay there all the time, so we can only live there for ten days and a half months.
These days, I will tell you Yang Wenxuan's habits, surname, temperament, speech, and manners, including his friends, the close stewards in the house, and the relationships between the near and far, all of which will tell you that you must be familiar with everything about Yang Xu in the shortest possible time, so as to achieve the effect of confusing the real with the fake. ” "Yes" "The status of the King of Qi is noble, you have little chance of being received by him, if there is anything, the prince will let the eunuch in charge of the palace discuss with you, if the eunuch in charge discusses business matters with you, you can be vague, and then discuss with me when you come back, even if the prince sees you in person, you don't have to worry too much, as long as you can hide it from your family and friends, it is very easy to pass the level of King Qi."
Xia Xun said in surprise: "Why do you have to deal with the prince?"
Xia Xun's expression became nervous: "Let's do it, this rebellion won't have anything to do with King Qi, right?"
Seeing his timid expression, Zhang Shisan couldn't help but secretly worry: "This kid is an uninformed countryman, and the biggest official he has seen in his life must be just a character like the head of the Lizheng household, where have we seen a noble person, we told him that he came on the orders of the emperor, if he sees other characters, it is enough to strengthen his courage, but if he knows that the person we are going to deal with is a prince, I am afraid that this kid is like the twelve-year-old murderous warrior Qin Wuyang, when he sees the king of Qi, he will be bluffed, even if his words and deeds are similar, Wouldn't it make people suspicious, warriors who have never seen the world, and it is difficult to be calm in front of the princes. ” Thinking of this, he smiled and reassured: "Ridiculous, how can it be related to the King of Qi King Qi is the son of the current emperor, will the prince rebel against the emperor?"
Xia Xun said with a look of disbelief: "If it has nothing to do with the King of Qi, then the adults came by holy decree, as long as they say that they know with the prince and arrest the traitors together, why bother to be so secretive, even the prince is kept in the dark."
Zhang Shisan laughed angrily at him, and said secretly: "Although this Diao Min doesn't have much knowledge, he is not stupid, this is not bad, if he is stupid like An Litong, even if Lao Tzu uses ten percent of his strength to teach him, I am afraid that he will not be able to be cultivated." ” Thinking of this, Zhang Shisan's heart moved, and suddenly thought of a wonderful reason, so he said: "You must know that the person who intends to rebel may be a person who is teaching, or he may be a subordinate official of the palace.
The people of the White Lotus Sect are accustomed to concealing their identities, clinging to wealthy families, and secretly doing misdeeds; As for the subordinate officials of the royal palace, the princes have soldiers and money, and their authority is extremely heavy.
If some bold and reckless palace officials want to seek wealth and wealth from the dragon's merits, and follow the story of Chen Qiao's mutiny and the yellow robe, it is not impossible to plot against the truth, and then force the vassal king to comply.
However, the evidence is insufficient at present, these are just our speculations, if we go to the palace to investigate the case with great fanfare, but in the end it is not true, will it not hurt the father-son relationship between the emperor and the king of Qi, or we have misinformation, this deliberate rebel has no real relationship with the palace, we are so reckless to go to the palace to investigate, will we not be alarmed" Xia Xun plucked up his courage and said: "Then, let the prince keep it secret and assist secretly, wouldn't it become a messenger of the county government when they came to our village to arrest the thieves, they first notified the head of the household and secretly assisted." ” Zhang Shisan raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "The big case of rebellion, can it be the same as the arrest of thieves by bad officials, although you live in the countryside and are lonely and unheard, you should have heard of the self-immolation of King Tan, who knows whether the prince's favored people or his relatives and friends are involved, how deeply implicated, if the matter is not found out, if the king of Qi knows, once the prince is too worried and repeats the old mistakes of King Tan, who dares to take responsibility" A few years ago, Tan King Zhu Zi's eldest brother Ningxia commander Yu Hu was accused of Hu Weiyong's betrayal of the party, Tan King Zhu Zi was terrified, Zhu Yuanzhang heard that he sent an envoy to comfort his son, and specially called him back to Beijing to meet him, who knew that Zhu Zi thought that his father wanted to call him back to Beijing to ask for guilt, and he died in fear, because Zhu Zi had no children, and his feudal state was revoked.
This incident caused a sensation in the world, and the imperial court also specially issued a report to inform the world of the details of this matter, so that everyone in the world knew about it, and listened to Zhang Shisan's statement, it was for this reason that the emperor was cautious when investigating the case of rebellion in the palace of Qi, and was worried that if it was not handled well, the son of the king of Qi would also be "scared to death", so the Jinyi guards were extra careful.
After finally calming Xia Xun down, Zhang Shisan let out a long breath, raised the silver glass full of wine, and said with a smile: "Do you want to drink some?"
Xia Xun shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty." ” Zhang Shisan picked up the tongs, picked up a few crystal clear ice cubes from the silver plate, put them into his cup, shook it gently, listened to the melodious sound of tinkling, took a sip of the wine, and said slowly: "You should drink a little, Yang Xu likes to drink two kinds of wine, one is cold wine, and the other is home-brewed old wine, this is one of them." ” "Yes" Xia Xun was as good as a stream, and he was busy pouring a glass of wine, learning from Zhang Shisan's example, putting a few pieces of ice into it, shaking it gently, watching the red wine and white ice cubes rippling out a charming color in the silver cup, and then took a sip gently.
Zhang Shisan couldn't help but smile when he saw that he had learned the same way, and said: "This Yang Wenxuan is from Jiangning, Yingtianfu, over there, the Yang family has a huge family, but you know a little bit about the things over there, you don't need to pay too much attention to it, no one here will ask you about the things over there, and the reason why Yang Wenxuan's father came to Qingzhou was because of the conflict with the family back then, so he left his hometown angrily, and their father and son don't like to hear people talk about their hometown.
So even if someone really asks you about your hometown, you can make an unhappy look and avoid talking about it, besides, Yang Wenxuan was only six years old when he left Jiangning, and he can't remember much about his hometown. ” Zhang 13 said, picked up a small hammer, and gently tapped a piece of square ice in the silver plate.
The ice was taken out from under the soft couch, and under the soft couch was a box full of ice cubes, insulated with a thick quilt, which could both lower the temperature in the carriage and drink it along the way.
The wealthy gentry are very good at enjoying, many people have ice cellars built on their homes, which are stored in winter and used in summer, snow is used to cook tea, and ice is used to suppress wine, which not only has a mood, but also can highlight the luxury pomp of the wealthy family.
"When Yang Wenxuan was a child, his parents had already set up a family affair in his hometown, but I don't know the details of his unfinished lady.
Yang Wenxuan has never been willing to talk to anyone about anything in his hometown, including his family affairs, which has always been vague, if someone asks, you can also be vague and ignore it. ” "There is a steward Xiao in Yang Wenxuan's house, he is Yang Wenxuan's most trusted person, he is the only servant who accompanied the Yang family from his hometown in Jiangnan back then, and he has always been loyal to the Yang family and will never abandon him.
Yang Wenxuan was raised by him since he was a child, and during Yang Wenxuan's filial piety in the first two years, some business things in Yang Shang were inconvenient to show up, and they were also handled by him.
Steward Xiao has a daughter, fourteen years old, named Xiao Di, although she is a servant, Yang Wenxuan has always treated her like a brother and sister, when Yang Wenxuan is at home, she takes care of her living and eating.
The people who are most familiar with Yang Wenxuan in the Yang Mansion are the father and daughter.
For the sake of safety, when you return home, you must find an excuse as soon as possible to degrade the father and daughter from a distance, so as not to be seen by them as a reality. ” "Yes" Xia Xun learned Zhang Shisan's movements, took a sip of wine elegantly, tasted it slowly, and gently bowed his head in agreement.
"Yang Wenxuan's father died of illness four years ago, his father's name is Yang Bingkun, at the age of fifty and four, Yang Wenxuan was only sixteen years old at the time, and after three years of filial piety, he was admitted to the school last year and became a student in Qingzhou."
Zhang Shisan said, his eyes just looked at the ice tray, Xia Xun immediately picked up the clip and filled his cup with a few pieces of crushed ice.
Zhang Shisan gently shook the wine in the glass, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face.
It was impossible for him to have this kind of treatment before, Yang Xu was an officer who officially joined Jinyiwei, and he had an official body, since he was admitted to the Zhusheng last year, he gained fame, and his value was even more bullish, although Zhang Shisan and Yang Xu were colleagues, but regardless of the public identity or secret identity, he always had to be inferior in front of Yang Xu, and now, "Yang Xu" had to be obediently at his mercy, how could it not make people raise their eyebrows There was a rushing sound of running water in his ears, Zhang Shisan gently lifted the curtain and glanced outside.
I saw a big river flowing fast, the river water was clear, and it was flowing mightily into the distance, and the sun was shining on the water, and the scales were all over it.
Zhang 13 raised his voice and asked, "Have you arrived at the Gushui River?"
The handlebar type promised outside, and Zhang 13 said: "Cross the river and drive the car to the shade of the tree, and the son wants to rest." ” Xia Xun asked in a low voice: "Aren't you in a hurry to unload the stone shed, why do you have to stop here?"
Zhang Shisan smiled slightly, but did not answer.
After the car crossed the bridge, the handlebar type drove the car to the shade of the tree next to the river, Zhang 13 got out of the carriage, and instructed the handlebar type and the four guards: "You go to the forest to eat some dry food, rest for a while, the weather is hot, the son and the girl Tingxiang should wash by the river to cool off." ” A few people agreed, and walked into the distance, it didn't matter if the owner wanted to wash up by the river, but since there were still female dependents, the subordinates had to avoid it.
The weather was hot, and the woman's clothes were thin, so she was not suitable for others to see.
There was a dense forest by the river, and it was very cool in the forest, and the five of them disappeared into the shade in a short time.
Seeing that they had gone away, Zhang Shisan returned to the car, Xia Xun said in surprise: "Listen to Miss Xiang, there are any girls in this car besides you and me." ” Zhang Shisan smiled wryly and said, "You get out of the way, you can see her soon." ” Zhang 13 walked over, lifted the cushions and bamboo mats spread on the couch, revealing the box containing ice below, and then lifted the lid of the box, inside was a thick layer of quilt, Xia Xun knew that under the quilt was a neatly stacked ice cube, on the way he had already enjoyed the taste of this chilled grape wine.
When the quilt was lifted, there was indeed crystal clear ice underneath, and although it was tightly sealed, it had melted a little at this time.

When Xia Xun saw this, he suddenly understood something, thinking of the cold grape wine he drank along the way, his throat suddenly tightened, and he felt nauseated.
Zhang Shisan took out the quilt and spread it out, and then put the ice cubes on it one by one, two layers of ice cubes were removed, and another layer of quilt was placed below, and then opened, and a girl curled up appeared suddenly.
The girl in the box had a strange pale face, the ice cubes melted and condensed into tiny droplets of water on her face, her small mouth opened slightly, and the eyes that should have been very charming opened in horror, and the eyes were straight and hooked, making Xia Xun feel stunned for a while.
"This is Yang Wenxuan's woman, it's just a woman he bought, it's very beautiful, Yang Wenxuan's surname is good fishing, in addition to staying in Liuxiang, Huajie, he also has another woman in Qingzhou, maybe one, maybe several, maybe an unmarried famous lady, maybe a young woman in the boudoir with a husband in Luo.
A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing, but it's just such a secret thing, even I don't know the details Speaking of this, Zhang Shisan suddenly felt a little abnormal, a countryman suddenly saw such a corpse, did he behave too calmly without warning, he suddenly turned his head:
