Chapter 341 Yan Qing: Within a hundred days, get the true determination! [Requesting monthly tickets]
Fengmingxuan is a restaurant opened by Sun Xin and Mrs. Gu in Zhending City. It specializes in distilled liquor produced in Qilin Village, as well as new dishes based on the recipes sent by Li Yu.
Before the opening, Yan Qingle and two smart people hooked up with Fu Yin's brother-in-law and found a solid backer for Fengmingxuan.
Nowadays, the restaurant business is booming, with an endless stream of guests, and even a seat is needed during peak periods.
The private room was filled with wine and food, and everyone had a wine bowl in front of them, but no one was eating or drinking. Everyone turned their faces and looked at the wall next to them, where a plan of Zhending City was hung.
This map must have been drawn for some time, and there are markings and modifications made with red and blue pencils.
Yan Qing stood upright next to the map and bowed his hands to everyone:
"Recently, the city has changed its defenses, and your workload has increased sharply. Thank you for your hard work. When we take Zhending Mansion, I will I will ask the emperor for credit one by one."
Lehe played Ma Lin's flute and said with a smile:
"There are no outsiders today. If you want to draw the cake, you can put it aside first. Not in a hurry.”
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed.
The city defenses of Zhending Mansion will be changed regularly, firstly to prevent the city gate captain from embezzling the money entering the city, and secondly, to prevent being bribed and opening the city to dedicate the city.
After all, Zhending Mansion is close to the border of Song and Liao Dynasties, and it also serves as the capital of Hebei West Road. Its status is important and cannot be lost.
Fortunately, the prefect here has a temporary post system, and the real power is Fu Yin. Therefore, the Intelligence Department focuses on attacking the Fu Yin family. As long as this city can be captured and defended, the surrounding cities will be much easier.
After everyone stopped laughing, Yan Qing said:
"Next, the focus of the intelligence department's work will shift from reconnaissance intelligence to win-win and differentiation. The focus will be on those middle- and lower-level officials and military officers in the city who are frustrated, as well as some oppressed gentry."
Put these on. Bringing people together on a united front will be a great help to the subsequent peaceful evolution.
Qiao Daoqing waved his fly whisk and asked seriously:
"Are you sure you will do it that night during the Lantern Festival?"
"Yes, there are still three months left... There are hundreds of people in the real world. The purpose of calling everyone here today is to get some luck.”
Sister-in-law Gu raised her hand and asked:
"Will the emperor and the others come from Qilin Village before the Lantern Festival?"
Shen Juzi Ma Ling answered this question:
< br>"Yes, not only the emperor's uncle will come, but the soldiers and horses of Qilin Village will also disguise themselves and enter Zhending City in batches to prepare for seizing the city."
As a military commander better than Dai Zong An awesome Freelander, Ma Ling often travels between Zhending Mansion and Qilin Village recently, and is very aware of the situation on both sides.
Shi Xiu asked:
"Where do so many people live?"
Lehe took out a key from his arms, shook it, and said to everyone:
"Really The Dingzhou Mu Mansion is an empty courtyard. Cao Hui ordered me to clean it two days ago. My younger brother and brother Shi Qian secretly assigned a key so that we can live in it quietly. "
Dingzhou Mu is from the Han Dynasty. What started as an official position gradually evolved into an honorary position with the development of the times. By the Song Dynasty, only some princes could hold it.
Of course, the so-called appointment is only a temporary position, and the prince will not leave Beijing to take up the appointment.
But he is a prince after all, so he doesn’t have to come, but he must have a palace. In order to curry favor with the prince, local officials will also make the yard luxurious.
In Zhending City, there is such a mansion with seven courtyards in front and back.
The Cao Hui Lehe said was Fu Yin's brother-in-law. He was born in the Cao family of Zhending and was the number one general in Zhending.
Cao Bin, the ancestor of the Cao family, followed Zhao Kuangyin in the southern and northern wars. He was promoted to the Grand Master of the School, the Military Envoy of Pinglu Army, and the Zhangshi of Tongping. He worshiped the Privy Envoy and was granted the title of Duke of Lu. After his death, he was given to Zhongshu Ling and the Prince of Jiyang County, and accompanied him to the temple of Taizu of the Song Dynasty, which was a great honor.
As the Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and restraint on military affairs intensified, Zhending's number one general family gradually transferred to the civil service field, and the main line moved to the capital, leaving only incompetent collateral families on Zhending's side.
However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how useless it is, it is still the largest family in Zhending. Therefore, in order to gain a foothold, newly appointed officials usually marry a daughter of the Cao family.
Cao Hui's sister married Fu Yin under such circumstances.
Qiao Daoqing asked:
“Is there anyone in the yard?”
"There are a few old men and women who are responsible for guarding. The governor will send people to clean up regularly. Now this job falls on Cao Hui, so the younger brother has the opportunity to get close."
When Xie Yingdeng heard this, he started fighting The idea of the yard:
"If I have free time these days, Xiaodao will go outside the Zhoumufu courtyard and use the technique of controlling objects from the air to disturb the people inside. Brother Lehe took the opportunity to persuade Cao Hui and said that the old man was scared. Death will contaminate the great cause and effect, asking him to move all the old men and women inside to live elsewhere..."
Qiao Daoqing continued:
"When the yard is completely empty, the poor will Dao went in to make some layouts. From the outside, it looked like an empty courtyard, making it easier for the generals of Qilin Village to live in it. ”
Yan Qing calculated the manpower needed and said to Shi Qian:
"Find a few larger empty courtyards and try to make room for everyone. When there are more rumors of hauntings, Daoist priests Qiao, Xie and Fan will The four masters, Master Lu, can perform exorcisms on their own initiative and win the hearts of the people in advance."
"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to find a few more big yards within three days."
The ones found are still there. Following the previous routine, Xie Yingdeng controlled objects and pretended to be a ghost to scare away the people inside, while Qiao Daoqing secretly set up a magic array to prepare for the soldiers of Qilin Village to move in.
Of course, on this basis, we must also try our best to win over the top officials of Zhending Mansion. It would be great if we could win this place without losing any blood. If not, we should take advantage of the Lantern Festival night when the city's curfew is lifted to seize the city at the minimum cost. .
After arranging these things, everyone began to freely exchange the information they obtained with each other.
Meng Kang, who was undercover in the armory, said:
“Batches of arrows were smuggled out and sold to foreign races. Do you think I should also stock up on some ordnance supplies? "
Li Zhong is a man who lives his life. He felt distressed when he heard that he was sold to a foreign race:
"Stock up some, how about I do it with you?"
For people with a hamster personality, let’s not talk about whether they need it or not, but hide it in their hands first.
Ma Lin disapproved of this:
“Let them go for now, and when we occupy the ordnance shop outside the city, we can produce it ourselves... At this time of major events, don’t alert the snake, let’s do it The time is short, and I haven’t figured out the chain of interests yet. Whose interests may be involved if we act rashly? It’s better not to cause trouble.”
His view is correct. The ordnance sold to foreign races must be. Once a complete chain of interests is broken, officials along the entire line will become nervous, which may undermine the Intelligence Department's plans.
Lu Zhishen picked up a bowl of wine and drank it, then picked up a goose leg and gnawed on it:
"Yesterday, I met the abbot of Kaiyuan Temple in the south of the city by chance. He said that my Dharma is profound and he wants to pass on the position of abbot to me. Do you think I should agree?"
Sun Xin joked:
"Then you have to give up drinking and eating meat first, otherwise all those good men and women will be scared away?"
The little bully Zhou Tong agreed:
"It's extremely, extremely, Master Lu drinks alcohol and eats meat. What if this thing scares the girls who offer incense?”
Lu Zhishen chuckled:
“I was still thinking about ruining your marriage, looking for opportunities to find you a wife from good men and women, and helping you realize your dream of getting married. I didn’t expect that I would say this about Sajia, that marriage. Something..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Tong came over with a flattering look on his face:
"I think there is no one more suitable to be an abbot than you in the whole world. He is an eminent monk. His stature and big beard give him a sense of security that he is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also knows a little bit about fists and kicks... I paid my respects to Abbot Lu. I will go to Kaiyuan Temple to build a golden body for the Buddha in the future and donate money for sesame oil. "
After the laughter, Lu Zhishen said:
"I heard that Fu Yin's old mother sincerely worshiped Buddha, so I came up with this idea."
Hearing this, Yan Qing cupped his hands and said:
"Then I'll bother Master Lu."< br>
"Ha, it's easy to talk. If the Sa family wants to drink from now on, they can just come to you... Tonight, I have to ask Master first what I need to do to be an abbot."
Thinking of Buddhism and myself Regarding the relationship here, Yan Qing suspected that Kaiyuan Temple was actively providing help.
You can only eat vegetarian food when you enter the temple... Lu Zhishen brought the honey-glazed lamb leg in front of him, preparing to have a full meal before going to Jinguang Temple.
Yang Lin handed over the braised elbow in front of him and shared a piece of information with everyone:
"I was cleaning the house of the garrison general yesterday. I heard that the garrison general was sighing in the room, and my wife was frowning. Show, several concubines are dressed up all day long, and their beautiful eyes are all over the servants... I suspect that the general has something to hide. Next time I go to Qilin Village, can Brother Ma Lingxian ask for some medicine from Dr. An? If successful, he should It will help with big things.”
Hearing this, Yan Qing couldn’t help but laugh:
“Dr. An is a little unable to do what he wants, so he might as well buy the medicine from the real world. According to the information, there is. Planting the little blue pill can restore your glory. I will ask my husband to help me buy two bottles. I will hang on to the general first and slowly set up a trap.”
"Okay!"
Fan Rui joked with Yang Lin:
"Don't flirt with the general's concubine. You will be sent away by the general before the pills are delivered."
"It's really hard to say, after all, I can't hide my charm."
Seeing Yang Lin's rebuke, Deng Fei angrily said: "Except for the old women in charge of washing , Who has ever looked at you? The garrison general's daughter is already over sixteen. It is said that she wants to tell someone to the Cao family, but the Cao family only wants to play with civil servants and does not intend to have too much contact with military generals, so the matter has not been settled yet. ”
Ma Lin also revealed a piece of information:
“Two days ago, I was playing the flute in Nuanxiang Tower and in the middle of it, the oiran Little Jinque who was accompanying the guests suddenly hurried to the backyard. It is said that I went to accompany Mr. Fu Yin. I don’t know whether it’s true or not.”
Yan Qing winked at Lehe:
“Let’s check it out when we have a chance.”
"Okay, I will find out the relationship between Fu Yin and Little Jinque as soon as possible."
This information may seem inconspicuous, but it is closely related to Zhending City and may be of great use, so it cannot be taken lightly.
Sister-in-law Gu placed a plate of frosted peanuts in the middle of the table:
“These are the peanuts that Mr. Ma gave to Qilin Village. The emperor specially asked Brother Ma Lingxian to bring them and try them all. …Qilin Village will also start growing peanuts next year, and they will be open to eating.”
After hearing this, everyone picked up their spoons and took a bite.
There are peanuts in the real world, and not many people care about them, but in the eyes of everyone in Qilin Village, peanuts are the top ingredient, especially the way they are cooked, they are considered a delicacy.
In ancient times, sugar was expensive, and peanuts were never seen before. Now when you eat them together, you are really happier than during the Chinese New Year.
Zhou Tong took two mouthfuls of peanuts and asked Sister-in-law Gu:
"Sister, can we take a bath in the backyard?"
"Yes, I have prepared it specially for you. There are several rooms, and bath water is always available... Why, are you tired of sleeping in the Datongbu of the inn? ”
Zhou Tong and Li Zhong arrived late and did not have a suitable undercover opportunity, so they had to temporarily sell plasters on the street.
Since we are selling plasters, we naturally can’t live in a good place. The Datong Shop in the inn is the best choice. The bedding inside is all greasy, which makes Zhou Tong who is used to soap, shower gel and shampoo very uncomfortable. adapt.
Li Zhong didn't think it was anything. He had been coming here all these years, and suddenly living in Datongpu again, he felt like he was remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness.
Although Fan Rui arrived late, he casually performed a small magic spell on the street and was immediately invited to the Cao family mansion to preach to the old man in the family. He ate good vegetarian food and lived in a single room. He went out to the small courtyard and sat in a sedan chair, which made Zhou Tong and Li Zhong envious.
Ma Lin reminded:
"Don't use shampoo, shower gel and soap when taking a bath. You can get some incense ash and rub it in. Don't leave any smell. It's very dangerous for a man with a scent to live in Datongpu."
Zhou Tong suddenly thought of it. Boys should protect their pictures when they go out, and immediately gave up the idea of taking a bath:
"Forget it..."
Qiao Daoqing laughed and said:
"In the evening Go to the intersection of Changchun Street, I will pretend to faint, and you two will take me to a nearby hospital. I will give you a sum of money in return, so that I can live in a good place.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong's face lit up with joy:
"Thank you so much, Taoist Master Qiao!"
"You're welcome, I just want to know if someone in Zhending Mansion rashly made a What will happen if you get a windfall... Daochang Xie and I will follow you secretly. No matter who approaches you, don’t be afraid."
As soon as he heard that the two masters were following him, Zhou Tong immediately patted his chest and promised:
“Don’t worry, we will definitely act with caution.”
Li Zhong was a little worried:
"Would you two give us an amulet or something?"
Xie Yingden pinched the good luck cat pendant hanging around his neck and said with a smile:
"Wear your pendant and make sure it is foolproof. This is what you paid a high price for. It is precious...who is it?!"
As soon as he raised his hand, an arrow pot in the corner opened automatically. Four or five flying arrows flew out and headed straight for the door.
Others also quickly picked up their weapons, and the entire intelligence department entered a state of combat readiness within a few seconds.
The voice of the waiter in the restaurant sounded outside the door:
"Master Cao, you have drunk so much, go home and rest first."
"No ... No rest, where is my brother Lehe? He said he would take me to sing a little song, but he disappeared after entering the restaurant...Brother Lehe, I’m here to find you!”
Hear it! At this sound, Xie Yingden waved his hand, and several flying arrows returned to the arrow pot, and the others also put down their weapons.
Lehe straightened his clothes and strode out.
When he reached the door, he had a warm smile on his face.
Yan Qing looked up at Shi Qian who was curled up on the beam and ordered:
"Cao Hui can actually find this place and follow him for a few days to see if he is really a dude or a fake. Dandy.”
“Here!”
Shi Qian's figure flashed and disappeared.
Qiao Daoqing looked at Xie Yingdeng:
“What do you think of this man’s face?”
“Not like a bad guy, at least not a bloodthirsty and violent person, but he should be. He didn’t act that simple, otherwise all the fat jobs in the city would not fall on him alone.”
Although he has a brother-in-law who is a governor, the governor does not have only one family of relatives. The whole family on the maternal side and the father-in-law's side are all waiting to drink blood, and it is impossible for Cao Hui to take advantage of them all.
Now that he can hold these fat men in his hands, he must have certain abilities.
After Lehe left, the others also left in twos and threes and went about their business.
Lu Zhishen ate a whole braised goose, an elbow, a leg of lamb, and drank more than a pound of white wine. He quietly left the backyard with his Zen staff and went straight to Kaiyuan Temple in the south of the city.
Leaving aside whether he can become an abbot or not, he must at least get a position in the temple first, and then find a way to establish a relationship with Fu Yin's old mother.
Yan Qing is now Fu Yin’s deputy housekeeper. As soon as he returned to the mansion accompanied by Shi Xiu, he took the small gifts he just bought from the street and gave them to everyone. In terms of his conduct, Brother Xiao Yi It is always at full level.
Lehe and Cao Hui, who was in his mid-twenties, walked into a Goulan courtyard to drink tea to sober up.
As soon as the two sat down, Shi Qian followed him like a shadow and hid on the beam, observing Cao Hui from all directions.
Zhou Tong and Li Zhong came to the downstairs of Fengmingxuan. Sister-in-law Gu grabbed the rolling pin and chased them out:
"I am so tired of eating for free. I am so tired of seeing you again." You can’t break the dog’s legs!”
Zhou Tong’s acting skills are outstanding, and he talks back while walking:
"A bowl of noodles is so expensive, why don't you go and grab it?"
Both parties cursed each other. When there were more people watching the excitement, they winked at each other and said goodbye.
Li Zhong and the two came to the intersection where the stalls were set up and continued to sell plasters. They waited until evening to go to Changchun Street. They could find a restaurant to stay in and have a good sleep tonight.
Fan Rui did not go downstairs, but flew away from the window and returned to Cao's courtyard to continue playing the role of an outsider.
Qiao Daoqing used illusions to leave the restaurant without anyone noticing, and did not reveal his figure until Changchun Street.
Xie Yingdeng continues to play the wandering Taoist priest who walks through the streets. He has thoroughly explored the entire Zhending City and is planning to walk half a circle around the city and then go to Changchun Street to watch the excitement.
Yang Lin and Deng Fei were dressed in the uniforms of the servants guarding the general's mansion, chatting about the gossip in the general's mansion while walking.
After Meng Kang and Ma Ling said goodbye, they strolled to the armory. Ma Ling went to the small courtyard he bought with Shi Qian, dispelled the magic array, walked in, and used the solar energy installed in the courtyard to generate electricity. The board charges the drone outdoor power supply and other equipment.
Ma Lin carried his flute and continued to go undercover in Nuanxiang Building, while chatting with the young lady inside about life ideals.
Zhou Tong was so envious that he wanted to trade with him on the first day he came to Zhending Mansion. Unfortunately, without any skills and looks like Pan An, he was destined to not survive in a place like this.
In front of the statue in the scenic spot, Li Yu sat on the steps at the feet of his old mother. After watching the performance of everyone in the intelligence department through the broadcast, he felt that this group of people might really be able to accomplish big things.
But if you buy the little blue pill or something, you need to let people know about it. I’m afraid there will be misunderstandings, right?
How about switching to other drugs and letting the left-behind general end the scene early?
As soon as she thought of this, the empress reminded:
“The little overlord Zhou Tong is married to the daughter of the garrison general, and it was Lu Zhishen who helped make peace. Are you sure you want to kill Zhou Tong’s father-in-law? ”
What?
The little bully Zhou Tong is actually going to be single?
Li Yu quickly gave up the idea of killing people and silencing them, and laughed twice and said:
"I just habitually diverged my thoughts. I went to so many handsome competitions, but I didn't expect that the person who implemented the beauty trap would actually It's Zhou Tong... Their meeting is over, and I'm going back to my mother."
The Queen said:
"The frosted peanuts look good, you can make some for me later."
"Okay, no problem!"
